The first step to setting healthy boundaries is being aware of your own needs in a relationship. Everyone has certain rights going into a relationship or friendship. Identify what your rights are so you can decide whether or not a fake friend is worth your time.  What makes you feel comfortable in a relationship? What do you look for when seeking out a friend? Is it shared interests, kindness, compassion? Does this person meet those qualities? Does this person violate your boundaries? Are they not concerned with you and your emotional wellbeing? You may need someone in your life capable of more compassion than a fake friend. It's not always worth it to keep up with a fake friendship. It's okay to walk away if someone's behavior is becoming increasingly troublesome for you.  Think about the effect this relationship has had on your self-esteem. Do you feel worse about yourself when you're around this person? Have you internalized some of their criticisms and complaints about you? Do you ever actually want to see this person anymore? You may be hanging out due to a sense of obligation. You may also find yourself feeling tense going into meetings with this person. If this is the case, this may be a fake friendship. If you've determined this friendship is not worth keeping, find a graceful way to end it. You should let this person know directly you no longer want him or her in your life.  While it may feel cold, it may be easier to send a text or email. This can be especially helpful if the person in question is stressful to be around. You do not have to be caustic or lay out a list of grievances. A simple email should be sufficient. Try saying something like, "I'm sorry, but I don't think this friendship is really working for either one of us." Keep your emotions in check. Even if you're right to feel you were being treated poorly, blaming can escalate the situation. You want to get out with as clean a break as possible and avoid unnecessary drama and animosity. You may not need to end every fake friendship. If...

The first step to studying harder is to create a study space for yourself. Studying in the same space each day is effective because your mind will learn to associate a particular space with work. It'll be easier to get into the flow of studying when entering your study space.  Students who spend time struggling to find a space to study often waste valuable time. Having a space you go every day to study is helpful.  Choose a study space that is free of distractions. Find a space away from television and other noises. You should not study in bed or on the couch. Choose a place with a desk where you can sit upright to work.  Make sure the space is set up for what you need. If you need to prepare a class project with lots of small pieces that must be arranged, a large, uncluttered space with a worktable will be best. If you just need to read your textbook, a cozy chair and a cup of tea may be just fine. Once you've found a great space to study, create a study schedule for yourself. Having a regular study sessions will help you avoid procrastination and stick to your goals as a students. You should start planning your study schedule as you get your course syllabus -- that way, nothing will sneak up on you.  You should strive to prioritize studying. Place study time ahead of extracurricular or social activities. Try to study shortly after class or school each day.  Schedule study sessions at roughly the same time each day. Having a regular schedule can help you stick to studying on a regular basis. Put these sessions into your calendar, just as you would a dentist appointment or soccer practice.  Start slow. At first, keep your study sessions between 30 and 50 minutes. After you've gotten used to this duration, push yourself to study for longer periods. However, stop to take short breaks occasionally. Studying for hours on end can cause stress. Take 10 minute breaks as you study. Don't go longer than 2 hours without a break. Studying without direction is not an effective way to learn and retain information. Go into...

The first step to treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in cats is consulting a veterinarian. They can suggest a variety of medical treatments and lifestyle changes to help your cat live a long, fulfilling life despite the chronic condition.  Your vet has likely already diagnosed your cat's IBS through a series of tests and procedures. Usually, IBS is diagnosed through gradually ruling out other causes and taking an extensive survey of your cat's medical history. Treatment for IBS is oftentimes confusing as there's no single cure or approach that works across the board. Usually, treatment involves a combination of medication, dietary adjustments, or lifestyle change. Treatment is sometimes trial and error. Your vet will advise a variety of approaches and if one method fails you'll try another. Listen to your vet closely and ask her any questions you have regarding your cat's treatment. With medications especially, you need to know the proper protocol for administration, dosage, and storage. Usually, the primary route of treatment involves the use of corticosteroids. These can be given temporarily while you wait for your cat to respond to dietary changes, or they can be given long-term if your cat isn't responding to the changes in its diet. Your veterinarian will prescribe a particular type of steroid and you'll monitor your cat to see if symptoms improve.  Prednisolone is the most commonly prescribed corticosteroid for cats. It has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce symptoms of IBS. Corticosteroids have a fairly high success rate, alleviating symptoms in approximately 85% of cats.  Corticosteroids are usually given orally and for 3 to 4 month intervals. If your cat has flare-ups after you discontinue steroid use, your vet might prescribe another round of steroids or she might try other treatment options.  Your cat should be monitored closely by veterinary professionals when on steroids. Corticosteroids can lead to immunosuppression and diabetes. However, most cats do well on steroids if...

The first step to treating a stubbed toe is to see how bad the damage is. Carefully and gently remove the shoe and sock on the injured foot. Examine the injured toe, taking care not to injure it further by handling it roughly (a friend can help here). Look for the following signs:  A "bent" or "misaligned" appearance Bleeding A broken or misplaced nail Bruising Heavy swelling and/or discoloration Depending on which (if any) of the above signs you see, the treatment for your toe can differ. See below for specific suggestions. If it is too painful to remove your shoe and sock, you probably have a fracture or sprain in your toe and/or foot. This is not a dangerous condition, but you should still see a doctor to receive treatment. If you notice any spots on the toe where the skin has been broken, you will want to clean them promptly to avoid infection. This includes cuts, scrapes, abrasions, and breaks in the nail. Carefully wash the toe with soap and warm water. Dry the toe gently with a clean cloth or paper towel, then rub a little anti-bacterial cream onto any breaks in the skin. Protect the toe with a clean bandage.  Replace the bandage every day as the toe heals.  See How to Clean a Wound for step-by-step information. Most stubbed toes will be followed by at least a little painful swelling. This can make the toe awkward, unwieldy, and even more vulnerable to pain. Luckily, it's easy to reduce the swelling with a cold compress. There are many ways to do this — for instance, you can use a gel ice pack, a bag of ice or even an unopened bag of frozen vegetables.  Whatever you use for your cold compress, wrap it in a towel or rag before pressing it into the skin. NEVER put your ice pack directly on your skin. Direct, prolonged ice-on-skin contact can further damage the skin, making your injury worse.  For the first 24 hours after you stub your toe, you should ice it for 20 minutes every waking hour. After that, you’ll only need to ice it two to three times a day until the pain subsides. See our article on cold...

The first step to treating your flea-infested pet is to give it a bath. You can take your pet to the vet to get a chemical bath, but if you'd prefer to address the problem with a natural approach, try the following flea bath solutions:  Make a rosemary dip. Cover 2 1/2 cups of fresh rosemary sprigs with water and boil for 1/2 hour. Add the rosemary water to a gallon of warm water. While the water is still warm, pour it over your pet. Use soapy water. It may also be effective to use a solution of water mixed with a gentle foaming soap. Bathe your cat or dog carefully using warm water. The dip solutions will have killed some of the fleas, but you still need to remove the eggs. Purchase a flea comb from your pet store and use it to carefully comb your pet's fur to remove all traces of fleas. Fleas are repelled by a few natural scents and oils that you can apply directly to your dog. Cats, on the other hand, can be harmed by certain oils, so avoid treating your cat unless a certain substance has been recommended by the vet. Here are a few options for treating your pet:  Lavender essential oil. Rub some on your dog's neck and back. This is said to both kill and repel fleas. Eucalyptus oil. Make a spray by mixing 1 cup of water and 5 drops of oil, then spray your dog thoroughly to repel fleas. Do not use this treatment on cats. In all likelihood, you'll have to dip, comb, and treat your pet several times before the battle is over. Keep an eye on your pet for signs of more fleas, and plan to dip your dog or cat once every week or so to kill the fleas that hatch over time.

TL;DR in Russian:

The first step to turning a banana split into a healthy snack is to use smaller portions. Instead of piling on three or four giant scoops of ice cream, limit yourself to a small scoop of lower-fat options. Use parfait glasses or mason jars instead of big bowls to help you keep your portion sizes in check. For the healthiest option, use low-fat Greek style yogurt or whole milk yogurt. These offer more nutrients and less fat than ice cream, and contain healthy probiotics. Their thick and creamy textures are great substitutes for ice cream, so you won't be missing out on richness. You can also substitute ice cream with a low-fat or high-protein brand, or use low-fat frozen yogurt. Drowning your banana split in whipped cream, butterscotch, chocolate syrup, and other not so healthy toppings will send your calorie count soaring. Instead, you can splurge with a small amount of melted dark chocolate, and use nutritious, low-calorie fruits and nuts.  Try sliced almonds, chopped peanuts, or a tablespoon of peanut butter. Top your split with raisins, blueberries, diced pineapple, or sliced strawberries. A healthy banana split can be a fun, interactive activity for your kids, whether for dessert or an afterschool snack. Put out bowls of each topping, and try letting your younger kids serve themselves to practice using utensils and taking turns. If you're an adult making a healthy snack for yourself, layering your banana split in a parfait glass or mason jar will add a touch of refinement to your dessert. In addition to keeping your portions in check, you'll feel a little more fun and fancy. Cut a banana in half then slice each half lengthwise, so you have four long slices. Place them at the bottom of a bowl or jar, and add a scoop of yogurt, frozen yogurt, or low-fat ice cream. Top it with sliced strawberries, fresh blueberries, diced pineapple, or chopped nuts. You might be cutting down on calories, but there's no need to deprive yourself of a gorgeous, simple dessert!

The first step to using a digital camera is simply turning the device on. Most cameras have a small on button located somewhere on the side of the camera. If you don't see your camera's on button, read your manufacturer's instructions. They should explain how to find the on button. Most digital cameras have to charge. If your camera's battery is dead, it will not turn on. Don't panic if your camera is not turning on. Usually, a charger comes with the camera. The charger plugs into the wall and then into your camera. In the event your camera does not turn on, try plugging it into the charger, waiting a few minutes, and then trying again.

The first step to virtually any kind of writing is to know your audience. The audience of your creative writing can determine the topic that you choose to write about.  Ask yourself what your audience would be interested in reading. Think about what may surprise or shock your audience. If you are unsure about your actual audience, create a fictional reader in your mind.  You could even give your fictional reader a name. Writing about what is interesting to you will help your writing flow more easily, help you generate fresh content, and lead to a better final product. It matters less what you freewrite about than that you do it.  Pick a situation that seems interesting to you: perhaps a person is lost in the desert, or perhaps they are waiting to find out if they have an illness, or perhaps they are trying to decide whether to tell someone they are in love. Then, freewrite based on that situation, thinking about what might happen, what they might be thinking, conversations they might have, etc.  Write nonstop for a predetermined amount of time (most people do 10-15 minutes.) Do not stop writing, even if you need to just write “blah blah blah” in the middle of a sentence. Hopefully, you will write yourself towards a useful thought or idea through freewriting.  Even if it does not give you content you can use in your creative writing, it can be a valuable warm-up. There are whole books of writing prompt ideas for creative writing, and several websites that contain lists of prompts.  Treat the prompt as a beginning point but don’t be afraid to leave the topic of the prompt. Check your library for a book of prompts so that you don’t have to buy one. Keep a list of ideas of things to write about on you all the time.  If you think of an idea, write it down.  Go to your working list any time you feel like you need help coming up with a topic. Your environment contains a rich array of items that can serve as writing prompts, so just look around and write about something that you see.  Close your eyes, then open them...

The first step to waking up happy in the morning is getting to bed the night before. Experts say adults should aim for between six to eight hours nightly, so organize your evening activities around getting a full night sleep. Additionally, experts also recommend finishing the use of electronic devices at least an hour before bedtime to give your brain time to shut down and prepare for sleep. This may be difficult if you work odd shifts or have a new baby to care for, but do your best. Other than making it difficult to attain sleep, research indicates that when we sleep or dream in mild to moderate light, we rest less and wake up feeling less happy than we ordinarily would. This includes sleeping in light generated by TVs, computers, nightlights, and streetlights, which have all have been shown to negatively impact mood of sleepers.   Try a sleeping mask or blackout curtains to block out light while you sleep. Exposure to light interferes with our body's production of melatonin, which is a hormone that helps control your sleep and wake cycle. Dimming your lighting as you're preparing for bed and making your room as dark as possible can help keep your melatonin production on track. Meditation, deep breathing, or progressive muscle relaxation are ways to help calm anxiety, tension, or troublesome thoughts that might keep you awake. Try incorporating one or more of these practices into your nighttime routine. Want to enjoy peaceful dreams and wake up happy?  Researchers have discovered that sleeping on your right side increases the chance that you will have positive dreams and also decreases the likelihood of mood dysfunction throughout the day. Having trouble keeping your sleep position to the right side?  Consider purchasing a body pillow. Having it on your left side will shape your sleep posture and prevent you from rolling to the left. Do you live near a busy intersection with lots of noise?  Does your bedroom window face the sunrise or street lights? Purchasing light-blocking curtains and getting a...

The first step toward spending quality time with your significant other is to make your relationship a top priority. A feeling of closeness is one of the most important “ingredients” for a healthy relationship, which you can only find if you spend quality time together.  If your girlfriend or boyfriend is, say, number 5 on your list of daily activities, that relationship probably won’t go very far. If you do find that your relationship is a low priority to you, simply apologize to your girlfriend or boyfriend and start making changes. If you feel like your relationship is a low priority to your boyfriend or girlfriend, you need to discuss this. If your relationship has not been a high priority, it’s time to make positive changes. Adopt a mindset like the one we all get about New Year’s resolutions. Make sure that you start small and choose only one behavior to change at a time.  Choosing only one behavior makes it manageable and prevents you from getting overwhelmed. Once you have made one positive behavior a habit, you can move on to the next one. Your relationship will slowly but surely rise to the top of your priorities. Apologize for not making the relationship a priority if it's your fault. One positive change that shows your girlfriend or boyfriend that you are starting to prioritize your relationship is making it a weekly goal to spend time with him or her. One way to do this is to choose one night per week as date night. Pick a night that rarely has other commitments so that you aren’t tempted to cancel plans with your partner, or a night that your partner isn’t usually busy. Once you make a plan to spend one night (or day) a week with your boyfriend or girlfriend, stick to it. Don’t ever make plans on that night. Sticking to your promise each week will build trust in your partner. You will probably find that spending consistent time with your boyfriend or girlfriend makes the relationship a priority in your mind without you even realizing it. If you’re a teenager still living at home, you need to...

The first step towards getting your cortisol levels balanced and on track is to live in a healthy way. This may include anything from modifying your sleep patterns to changing your diet. Some ways to live a healthy lifestyle and start improving your cortisol include:   Avoiding stress Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends Avoiding caffeine and alcohol Exercising Practicing yoga, meditation, and positive visualization Eating avocados, fatty fish, nuts, olive oil, and coconut oil Avoiding sugar, processed food, and microwavable foods The most common way that western-medicine doctors treat cortisol deficiency is through hormone replacement therapy. If your cortisol levels are low enough to need synthetic replacements, your doctor will prescribe oral corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone, prednisone or cortisone acetate. Taking your prescription in tablet form every day will raise your cortisone production.   You will need to regularly test your cortisol levels during hormone replacement therapy to make sure you don't have too much or too little cortisol in your body. Oral corticosteroids have many different side effects; they can cause weight gain, mood swings, and other unpleasant symptoms. Talk with your doctor about things you can do to mitigate the side effects. If your cortisol levels are very low, getting into a stressful situation can be dangerous for you. Cortisol helps the body respond to stress, and without it, it's possible for the body to go into a coma. Your doctor may teach you how to administer your own cortisol injections in case of an emergency. When a stressful situation arises, you'll give yourself an injection of cortisol so that your body can adequately handle the crisis without shutting down. Hormone replacement therapy corrects the symptom, but not the underlying problem that's preventing your body from producing enough cortisol. Talk with your doctor about treatment options that may help your adrenal glands function at full capacity again.  If your...

The first step towards improving your reading comprehension has to be reading in a space where you’ll be able to concentrate. Remove any distractions from your environment and turn off electronics to prevent new distractions from appearing.  Turn off the TV and any music playing in the room you’re in. If you have a smartphone with you, turn it off or turn it on silent and place it somewhere where notifications that appear on the phone won’t distract you from your reading. If you can’t eliminate all the distractions from your environment, relocate! Move to the library, a study room, or even the bathroom, if that’s where you need to go to have peace and quiet. If you still feel distracted, try listening to classical or ambient music without lyrics. Whether that helper is a teacher, a friend, or a parent, read with someone above your level who you're comfortable talking to and asking questions. They can help you if you have any issues and enable you to talk through the text with someone else.  If your helper is an educator, consider having them draw up some key comprehension questions that you can preview before you start reading and that you can aim to be able to answer after you finish.  Summarize your reading material to your helper after you finish it and have them ask you questions about the content to test how well you’ve understood it. If you’re unable to answer a question, look back in the book for the answer. If you’re reading a difficult piece of writing, use online resources like Shmoop and Sparknotes to find summaries and comprehension questions. Reading aloud is a great way to slow down while reading and give you more time to process what you're reading, thereby improving comprehension. An added benefit of slow reading is that you get to see the words on the page (visual learning) and hear them spoken aloud (audio learning).  If you decide that hearing spoken words helps you improve your comprehension, don't be afraid to get narrated books. Of course, you'll want to read the books in addition to...

The first step with a wax burn is to cool the skin. Fill a sink, bathtub, or wash basin with cold water and soak the burn for at least 5, but preferably closer to 20, minutes.  If the burn is on your face, soak a towel in cold water and apply it to your face. You can also use an ice pack to cool the burn. Only apply water. Do not use any soaps or other cleansers, as they could further irritate your burned skin. After soaking, look to see if there is still wax attached to the burn. Peel the wax away carefully. If skin is coming off with the wax, stop pulling. Avoid removing any wax that touches a blister. Small burns that are mild in nature can be treated safely. However, if any portion of the burn has turned white or black, if you can see bone or muscle, or if the burn area is much larger than a quarter, it is important to seek medical help. If there is still wax stuck to your burn, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the wax. Wait 10 minutes. Gently wipe the petroleum jelly off with a soft, damp washcloth. The remaining wax should come off with it.

The first step with any fresh blood stain is to flush the stain with cold water. If it is a minimal amount of blood, you may be able to remove the majority of the stain with just cold water. Run the fabric under a cold tap, gently rubbing the stain with the water. Soak your fabric in cold water in your sink to loosen any remaining stain. Wash the material in cold water afterward.  Make sure you do not use hot water. This will set the blood into the fabric and make the stain harder to remove.  If you don't have access to a tap, you can also put cold water in a bowl or bucket and dunk the fabric in the water. Keep dunking, rubbing and rinsing until the stain is removed. Wash the fabric in cold water afterward. This method works on all kinds of fabrics, such as denim, cotton and linen. If your stain is too tough for cold water alone, try using dishwashing liquid. Pour 1 tablespoon of liquid directly onto the fabric. Make sure it saturates the fabric. Let the liquid sit on the stain for 15 to 30 minutes. The stain should loosen. Rub cold water over the stain to remove the soap. Wash in cold water. If the stain persists, you may need to repeat this method or try an alternative method. You can use bar soap for more concentrated stains. Rinse the fabric with cold water. Then, rub the bar of soap into the stain until the fabric lathers. Rub the fabric together to help scrub in the soap and loosen the stain. Rinse the soap and loosened blood out of the fabric. If the stain is still there, reapply the soap. Wash in cold water. You can also try hydrogen peroxide on light-colored or white fabrics. After you rinse with cold water, pour a generous amount of peroxide directly onto the fabric. Rub the peroxide into the fabric to saturate it. Let the peroxide sit on the stain for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Wash the material in cold water. If the stain persists, you can repeat the process. If the peroxide bubbles when it hits the fabric, don't be alarmed. This is a normal response. It means that the peroxide is dissolving the...

The first step you need to take to clean your upholstery is to vacuum any dirt, dust, trash, allergens, pet hair, and dander that may be on the fabric. Some of these things can make your couch even dirtier if they get wet during the cleaning process. Take your time, making sure you get in every crack and inside every crevice. If the furniture has any pillows, remove them and vacuum off each side of them. Also make sure you vacuum the back of the furniture as well. You don't want any left over trash or crumbs to mess up the preparation or cleaning process of the materials. Make sure you use the attachment on the vacuum cleaner that fits the type of upholstery that you are cleaning. You want to ensure that you don't damage or stain the fabric with the wrong attachment. If there are any apparent stains on the upholstery, spray them with spot upholstery cleaner. Let the cleaner set so it can break up the stain. Depending on what cleaner you use, the amount of time to leave the cleaner will vary, but it should be around 3-5 minutes. Once you've waited enough time, blot the area with a soft cloth, pulling out the stain and drying up the cleaner. A lot of stains, such as food, dirt, pee, and poop, can be cleaned from the steam alone. If you have a stain that is oil based, you might need a commercial cleaner such as Oxy Clean to get out the stain. You can also try mixing vinegar and rubbing alcohol or cornstarch and baking soda with water to treat the area. One of the main reasons to steam clean your furniture is to get out all the ground in dirt, dust, and grit. There are products called soil emulsifiers that will help loosen all of the elements that have been ground into the fabric. Spray it on all of the upholstery on the piece of furniture and the pillows. Let that sit a few minutes. Then, spray a thin layer of upholstery shampoo on the fabric as well. Brush the fabric all over, making sure to rub the shampoo into the fabric.  Don't worry about getting the emulsifier and shampoo off the fabric. It will come out...

The first symptom of MRSA is a raised, pus-filled abscess or boil that's firm to the touch and feels warm. This red blemish may have a “head” like a pimple, and can range in size from 2 to 6 centimeter (0.79 to 2.4 in) or larger. It can appear anywhere on the body, and will be extremely tender. For example, if it's on the buttocks, you likely won't be able to sit from the pain. A skin infection without a boil is less likely to be MRSA, but should still be checked by a doctor. More likely, you need to be treated for a Streptococcus infection or susceptible staph aureus. The early abscess or boil can look incredibly similar to a simple spider bite. One study showed that 30% of Americans who reported a spider bite were found to actually have MRSA. Especially if you're aware of a MRSA outbreak in your area, err on the side of caution and get tested by a medical professional.  In Los Angeles, MRSA outbreaks were so high the public health department raised billboards showing a picture of a MRSA abscess with the text “This is not a spider bite.” Patients didn’t take their antibiotics, believing their doctors were wrong and had misdiagnosed spider bites. Be vigilant for MRSA, and always follow medical advice. Though not all patients get a fever, you may get one greater than 100.4°F (38°C). This can be accompanied by chills and nausea. "Systemic toxicity" is rare, but possible if the MRSA infection is in the skin and soft tissue. While in most cases, patients can bide their time and wait for test results to confirm MRSA, sepsis is life threatening and needs immediate treatment. Symptoms include:  Body temperature over 101.3°F (38.5°C) or below 95°F (35°C) Heart rate faster than 90 beats per minute Rapid breathing Swelling (edema) anywhere on the body Altered mental state (disorientation or unconsciousness, for example) In some cases, MRSA might resolve on its own without treatment. The boil may burst on its own, and your immune system may fight off the infection; however, MRSA can be more serious in people with weak...

The first thing people want to know when you stand to speak is who you are. If someone else has introduced you, take the time to thank them as well as anyone responsible for organizing the event or inviting you to speak.  Keep in mind you may be nervous when you start your speech. Include this in your outline so you won't forget. If there's anything about you that relates you to your audience, or to the group that organized the event, you want to include that in your brief greeting as well – especially if you didn't have the benefit of an introduction from someone else. For example, you might say "Good afternoon. I'm Sally Sunshine, and I've been a volunteer with the Springfield Animal Society for five years. I'm honored they've invited me to speak here today about the importance of spaying or neutering your pets." You want to grab their attention and hold on to their attention throughout the whole speech. This could be a joke, a personal story, or an interesting observation on your topic that doesn't really fit elsewhere in your speech.  When choosing your attention-getter, keep your audience in mind. Think about what would grab their attention – not necessarily what you personally find interesting or humorous. If you're not sure whether your attention-getter will work, try practicing it in front of friends or family members who are similar in age and interests to the people who will be in the audience when you give your speech. For example, if you're giving a speech on spaying and neutering pets to a group of suburban families, you might open with a humorous reference to the Disney movie "101 Dalmatians." In this part of your introduction, you'll transition from your attention-getting anecdote into the subject matter of the speech itself. This section should only be a sentence or two.

The first thing that you'll need in order to survive in the woods is water that you can drink. Look for signs of fresh water nearby like areas of green foliage that indicate water is nearby, low-lying areas where water could be collected, and signs of wildlife like animal tracks. It could mean that a creek, stream, or pond is nearby. While finding water is important for survival, be aware some water sources will not be safe - if possible treat all drinking water before using it.   If there are mountains nearby, look for water collected at the foot of the cliffs. The presence of insects like mosquitoes and flies means that water is nearby. Water from heavily oxygenated water (such as from a big waterfall or rapids) typically is safer than that from a slow or still water source. Freshwater springs are typically safer water sources, although these can be contaminated by mineral or bacteria as well. Remember that all untreated water must be considered risky unless treated. Even crystal clear water can harbor diseases and be dangerous if consumed. Rainwater is one of the easiest and safest ways to hydrate yourself in the woods. If it starts to rain, place any containers that you have out in the rain to collect it. If you have a tarp or a poncho, hang it at least 3–4 feet (0.91–1.22 m) off of the ground by tying the corners to trees, and place a small rock in the center to create a depression that will collect the water.  Don't let the water sit in a container or a tarp for too long or it can stagnate and bacteria can contaminate it. If possible, purify any water that you collect. Use a rag, cloth, shirt, sock, or any other item of clothing that's made out of absorbent material like cotton to capture morning dew. Find a clearing or a meadow with tall grasses and place the cloth on top of the grass to pick up the dew. Move the cloth around in the grass until it's saturated, then wring out the water, collecting it in a container.  You can collect the most dew just before sunrise. Be careful not to collect dew from...

The first thing to be aware of is that each state has its own rules and requirements regarding the supply of liquor licenses, so you should contact a local authority to find out about alcohol laws and the sale of licenses in your specific state.  Each state has an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) agency that regulates the sale and distribution of liquor, so you also contact your local ABC office for more information. Some states have license quotas limiting the number of places that can sell alcohol within the state, at any given point in time. Towns may also have quotas in place. It is important to know if there are any available licenses for your state and town -- if there aren't, you may have difficulty procuring a license. There are two major types of liquor license required by premises that sell alcohol.  You will need an on-license if the liquor you sell is intended to be consumed on the premises. Examples of businesses that would require an on-license include bars, restaurants and taverns. You will need an off-license if the liquor you sell is intended to be consumed off the premises. Examples of businesses that would require an off-license include liquor stores, grocery stores and drug stores. In some states, you will need to apply for a very specific class of license, depending on the nature of your business and the variety of alcohols you intend to sell. Some examples of the most common license classes include:   Tavern license: A tavern license may be required in some states by businesses that serve food, but make up to half of their overall profits through the sale of alcohol.  Beer and wine: Some smaller bars or restaurants may only be granted a licence to sell "soft" liquors like beer and wine. This license does not entitle its owner to sell "hard" liquors, like spirits.  Restaurant: Restaurant licenses typically allow any type of alcohol to be sold on the premises. However, the license may stipulate that only a certain percentage of the restaurant's total earnings may come from the sale of...

The first thing to be aware of, if you have gotten dirt or another substance into your eye, is not to touch it or rub it with your hands. This can make it harder to get out, and it also poses the risk of infection by getting the dirt and germs from your hands into your eye.  Note that even if your eye is sore, itchy, or otherwise irritated, it is very important not to touch it at this point. Oftentimes the irritation will settle once you get the dirt or foreign substance out. Prior to clearing your eye (which you will do by washing out your eye), it is important to ensure that your hands are clean. Even though you will not be touching your eye directly with your hands, you will be using your hands to collect water for cleaning so it is important that they be sanitized. Washing with soap and warm water will do the trick. If you are wearing contact lenses, it is important to remove them prior to washing your eye. Also throw them out, as you will not want to re-use these contact lenses. As you prepare to wash your eye, you will want to make sure your head is facing downward, and not straight or tilted backward. Otherwise, you risk having the foreign substance wash further into your eye, rather than coming out when you rinse it with water. With your head facing downward, start by blinking a few times. Blinking releases some natural lubrication from your tear ducts that may be enough for the object to fall out (as long as you are still facing in a downward position). Assuming the foreign object is still lodged in your eye, the next step is to cup both of your hands under the sink faucet and to fill them with warm water. Then, lower the affected eye into the water in your hands, keeping the eye open. Just let it sit in the water, and hopefully this will be enough for the object to dislodge and come out. Again, be sure to face downward the whole time so that the object or dirt comes out of your eye, rather than going further into it. Oftentimes, in places such as chemistry labs, there is a specific eye-washing...

The first thing to consider when matching a lightbulb to a light fixture is the wattage amount. Every light bulb has a matching wattage - the amount of energy it is capable of producing. This number will range anywhere from 40-watts to 120-watts for a traditional light fixture. On the flip side, every light fixture has a maximum wattage amount. This is the highest wattage the fixture is capable of using without becoming a fire hazard (it can’t handle a high wattage). You therefore need to choose a light bulb with a wattage amount that is equal to or less than the maximum wattage on your fixture.   Using a light bulb with wattage above the maximum that the fixture can handle is a major fire hazard.  You can use a light bulb with wattage less than what your fixture asks for. Lumens refers to the amount of light the bulb will put out (as opposed to wattage, which is the amount of energy). The higher number of lumens, the brighter the light bulb will be. Therefore, if you’re trying to illuminate a large space, you’ll want to use a light bulb with a high number of lumens (above 1000). A small fixture or table lamp does not require a bulb with a high number of lumens.  The more lumens, the closer the appearance of the light is to that of natural sunlight. There are many different shapes of light bulbs, each with a different use. The most commonly used bulbs are the generic ‘bulb’ shape, the spiral shape, and the A shape. Additionally, there are drop shaped, globe shaped, flame shaped, tubes, and more varieties of bulbs. Generally the shape doesn’t really matter, but some light fixtures require a specifically shaped bulb in order to work or appear correctly. Check your fixture first, and then look for bulbs that match.   Make sure to check the socket type and size of your lighting fixture so that you know what light bulbs you need. There are 4 commonly used thread size groups for mains supply lamps: Candelabra - E12 North America, E11 in Europe; Intermediate - E17 North America, E14 (Small ES, SES) in Europe; medium...

The first thing to decide will be the style. You will want the style to fit seamlessly with the rest of your house, otherwise it will look very strange. Choose something that you like but also something that makes sense and is functional. Example styles would be Craftsman, Modern, European, Mission, French Country, Cottage, Farmhouse, Bistro, Diner, or any number of other inspirational designs. Once you’ve got a style picked out, determine a color theme which matches with the style, the rest of your home, and is in keeping with your personal tastes. The color theme will determine cabinet, countertop, and sink color and material, as well as wall and backsplash color. You will want your appliances to match each other as much as possible, as well as the overall design of the kitchen. Choose between shiny or brushed metal, plain black or white, as well as a number of colored or alternative options. The type of flooring you will be using will also play a part in determining what style and color schemes you use. If you are limited to tile or hardwood, or any particular color, you will need to take this into account.

The first thing to determine when dealing with a fear of death is how – and how much – your fear affects your life. We are not often immediately aware of the environmental triggers or causes of our fears and anxiety. Writing about the situations in which they arise can be a helpful tool for working through these issues.  Start by simply asking yourself, “What was going on around me when I started feeling afraid or anxious in that moment?” For a number of reasons, this can be a very difficult question to answer at first. Start with the basics. Think back over the last few days and write down as many details as you can remember about the times you thought about death. Include exactly what you were doing when the thoughts arose. The fear of death is very common. Throughout human history, people have been concerned and preoccupied with the idea of death and dying. This can happen for several reasons, including your age, your religion, your level of anxiety, the experience of loss, and so on. For example, during certain transitional phases in your life, you may be more prone to having a fear of death. People may have a deeper preoccupation with death in the ages 4-6, 10-12, 17-24, and 35-55. Scholars have long philosophized about the prospect of death. According to the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, death can be a source of fear for people precisely because it is that which “comes to us from the outside and transforms us into the outside.”  The process of death, therefore, represents to us the most radical unknown dimension imaginable (or, in a sense, unimaginable). As Sartre points out, death has the potential to transform our living bodies back into the non-human realm from which they initially emerged. Next, write down any of the times you can remember deciding not to do something because you were afraid or anxious. Write down instances even if you aren't sure about whether or not the emotions were necessarily related in any way to death or dying. After you have one list of thoughts of death and...

TL;DR in Russian:

The first thing to do if you want to be able to hold your handstand is to use proper technique when you get into the handstand position. If you don’t start off with a strong foundation, it will be difficult to hold your handstand for very long.  Here’s what you’ll have to do:  Stand up straight with your arms up over your head, as if they are glued to your ears. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Step forward with your dominant leg. Think of this as being halfway in the lunge position. Tip your body forward while keeping your back straight. Your non-dominant leg should go up first. Plant your hands down on the ground, shoulder width apart. Lift your dominant leg all the way up to meet your non-dominant leg. Straighten your legs and keep your back and body straight. You may think that all of the power lies in your wrists, when in fact, what’s most important is that you press into your palms and the pads of your fingers to gain your strength, almost as if you’re pushing the floor away while gripping it at the same time. If you put all the pressure in your wrists, then you’re likely to injure yourself while also making it much more difficult for yourself to stay balanced. If you put too much pressure in your wrists, then you will lose your balance and fall back on your feet. Another thing you want to avoid is arching your back. Not only can this cause injury, but it can lead you to fall forward, because arching your back will make your legs move over your head. Instead, focus on keeping the part of your body from your shoulders to your waist straight. You may not think you’re arching your back when you really are, so you can ask a friend or a spotter to check for you. Keeping your toes pointed will keep your body balanced and will keep your feet fully in line with your back and body. If your feet are flexed, it’ll be harder to control them, and they’ll be more likely to fall over your head a bit. Instead, focus on keeping nice, pointed toes from the moment you get up into the handstand until the second...

The first thing to do is embrace what you’re feeling and allow yourself to grieve. Bottling up the emotion is unfair to you and the other person: let it out. Grieving is different for everyone, so do it in a way that feels right for you.  Give yourself an allotted amount of time (say, a few days) to pore over letters or pictures, listen to sad music, or cry your eyes out while cuddling a stuffed animal. Once your mourning window has passed, commit to getting back into the swing of your everyday life. Talking about your feelings can be a great way of letting them out and getting needed support. Reach out to close family and friends and explain what’s happening.  You might say, “I feel so sad now that Randy has moved away. I really could use someone to talk to.” If you have an idea how this person can improve your mood, make a request. For instance, you might say, “Can we watch silly rom-coms tomorrow night in honor of Jessica?” Get the emotions out by putting them down on paper. If you have a diary or journal, create an entry about what happened and how you’re feeling as a result. If you don’t typically write in a journal, simply grab some fresh notebook paper or type it in your phone’s memo pad. You might also write about how you feel and address it to the person you miss. You can send it to them if they are accessible or store it to re-read when the feelings come over you again. When someone is away, you may dwell on the circumstances surrounding their departure, such as the day they moved away or the day they died. Instead of focusing on the sad parts, think about the happy ones.  Reflect on the great times you had with this person. You might share these memories in your journal or tell someone else close to you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвольте себе горевать из-за того, что любимого человека нет рядом. Доверьтесь близкому человеку. Записывайте свои чувства. Вспоминайте приятные моменты.


The first thing to do is remove your watch and place it face down on a folded cloth or towel. Make sure it is on something that will protect the face of your watch and not scratch the glass. Then place this cloth onto a flat surface, such as a table or countertop. Once you have got the watch face down, look closely at the area where the watch band connects to the watch itself. The vast majority of watch bands are connected by a spring bar, which passes through a loop or hole in the band and fits into indents on the shoulders of the watch.  The spring bar is a small metal bar that can be depressed at each end, like a spring. When pressure is released the bar extends at each end. When fully extended the bar will snap into place in the shoulders or lugs of the watch and hold your strap in place. To remove the band you need to detach the spring bar. You can do this with a specific tool, known as a spring bar tool. If you don't have this tool, you may be able to remove it using a small flat head screwdriver, or something similar. You may also be to remove it without any tools, just by using your hands, but this will be trickier.  If you have a spring bar tool, insert the pronged fork end between the band and where it connects with the watch shoulders. You can press the bar in from either end. Then gently apply pressure on the tool, pushing lightly away from the watch. This should push the spring bar down and release the band.  You can replicate this with another small tool that fits in the same space, but be careful not to scratch your watch or damage the band. If you don't have a tool, you can try using a paperclip to compress one end of the spring bar, and then carefully lever out the band. Once you have detached the band from the watch, slide the spring bar out of the loop in the band and put it to one side. Do this for each half of the band. You may need these bars to attach the new band, so it's important that you don't lose them.

The first thing to do is to read up a bit and educate yourself a little about how kidneys function and what their purposes are. The kidneys play a large role in maintaining healthy blood and excreting waste in your urine. If you think about this, you will realize how important healthy and high functioning kidneys are to your overall health. Once you have a grasp of the functions and importance of healthy kidneys, find out a little about how problems with kidneys can be caused. The 3 most common causes of kidney disease, frequent urinary tract infections, and diabetes. There are numerous other potential causes, including poisoning and physical damage or trauma. For example, kidney disease could develop after a particularly heavy blow to the kidneys. Some painkillers used regularly for a long time can cause kidney problems, so if you take them regularly check with your doctor. Kidney problems are often hereditary, so if your family has a history of kidney-related health problems you could be at a higher risk.If this is the case, you can talk to your doctor to get more specific medical guidance on how to avoid hereditary kidney problems.

The first thing to do is turn the chair over, and look at all hardware. Get a screwdriver or wrench and tighten any loose ones. Even try to tighten the parts that don't appear loose. Over time, it is easy for screws and bolts to become loose, causing certain chair parts to rub together irregularly and create a squeaky noise. Apply a lubricating oil on all of the nuts, screws and bolts to help loosen the joints. Simply spray oil directly on the the chair mechanisms, and pat them dry. You can also spray oil on a soft cotton cloth, and rub the oil onto your problem areas to have more control over where the oil goes.  Moisture in the air and air conditioners cause rust. Regularly applying oil prevents rust from occurring and building up. If the chair still squeaks after adding lubricant and tightening all bolts and screws, take them all out, and lubricate them with a light machine oil before putting them back in. To help you locate the area of the chair that is squeaking, have someone sit in it, and swivel from side to side. By applying weight to the chair to make it squeak, it will allow you to more easily locate the source of the noise to more accurately apply oil. Each time you apply more oil, ask your friend to swivel the chair so you can see if you put oil in the right spot. A chair may only squeak when you lean back, which is usually caused by too much tension where the spring's ends rub on the housing ends. To fix this, apply oil to the seat tension spring located inside the turn-knob housing. Simply loosen the seat tension turn-knob and remove the turn-knob to spray oil inside the housing. Desk chairs are often on wheels that may move a lot, so it is common for the axles in the wheels to need some silicone spray over time. Turn the chair over and spray the wheels. Then, flip the chair back over, and roll the chair to spread the silicone around the entire wheel. Collapsing into a chair will eventually cause it to squeak. Chairs go through a lot of wear and tear, so to keep your chair silent, be cautious...

The first thing to do when simplifying an algebraic fraction is to simplify each part of the fraction. Start with the top part, factoring out as many numbers as you can.  For an example, this section will use the problem: 9x-315x+6 Start with the numerator: 9x – 3. There is a common factor to both 9x and -3: 3. Factor out the 3 like you would any other number, leaving you with 3 * (3x-1). This is your new numerator: 3(3x-1)15x+6 Continuing the example from above, isolate the denominator, 15x+6. Again, look for a number that can divide into both parts. Here you can again factor out a 3, leaving you with 3 * (5x +2). Write in your new denominator: 3(3x-1)3(5x+2) This is the stage where you really get to simplify the fraction. Take any terms that are in both the numerator and the denominator and remove them. In this case, we can remove the 3 from both the top and the bottom.  3(3x-1)    →     (3x-1)3(5x+2)   →       (5x+2) A fraction is simplified when there are no more common factors in the top or the bottom. Remember that you cannot remove factors from inside the parenthesis – in the example problem you cannot factor out the x from 3x and 5x, since the full terms are actually (3x -1) and (5x + 2). Thus, the example is fully simplified, making the final answer: (3x-1)(5x+2) The best way to learn is to keep trying to simplify algebraic fractions. The answers are underneath the problems. 4(x+2)(x-13)(4x+8) Answer: (x=13) 2x2-x5x Answer:(2x-1)/5

The first thing to do when writing instructions is to know your audience. Who are you writing for? Are these people experts or novices? Knowing your audience helps you choose your words, your level of detail, and the way you structure the instructions.  For example, if you were explaining how to bake a cake to a professional chef, you wouldn't have to explain how to fold in the ingredients, why it's important to bring the eggs to room temperature, or the difference between all-purpose and self-rising flour. If you were explaining this to someone who doesn't know how to cook, these definitions and explanations may make the difference between a good cake and a bad cake. Err on the side of caution and don't treat the audience as an expert. This ensures your instructions are always clear and able to be followed. Before you begin, you want to make sure you state clearly what is required to successfully complete the instructions. This might be a list of ingredients or a group of tools. One great way to get clear instructions is to go through the process yourself. This way, you can write down specific steps. If you try to do something from memory, you may not remember everything. Then have someone else perform the task. Ask them for feedback about any confusing or unclear steps.  Be careful not to leave something out. If you skip important steps, you make it impossible for the reader to complete the task. Also make sure you don't write the steps out of order. For example, if you say, "Mix the ingredients with a mixer. Place in the oven at 350 degrees," the reader may think you place the mixing bowl in the oven.

The first thing to remember is to that you must clean and dry your hands before you put in, or take out, your lenses. Wash your hands thoroughly with mild soap and water before handling your lenses.  Dry your hands with a lint-free towel after washing them.  You don't want any fluff or lint to get into your eyes. If you are putting on makeup, put your lenses in first. Take your lenses out before removing makeup. You can clean your lenses individually to remove any surface build-up. Squirt a little lens cleaning solution, or multi-purpose solution, into the palm of one hand. Then place the lens in the solution and rub it gently with your index finger.  After rubbing them, rinse them with solution. This "rub and rinse" method is considered very effective. It's important that don't put in contact lenses that will irritate your eyes. Before you put in a lens, hold it out on your index finger and check for tears or debris. Then carefully place it on the centre of your eye as normal. When you take a lens out, be gentle or you risk tearing it.  Check to see if your lens is right side out. You don't want to put on lenses upside down — they won't fit correctly and could irritate your eye. If you are struggling to put in or remove your lenses ask for guidance from your eye doctor. If you have long, pointed, or slightly ragged fingernails take extra care not to damage the lens or scratch your eye. It's very important that you only use the specialized cleaning, storing and disinfecting solutions on your lenses. Also, do not wash or rinse them in water, saliva, or anything else. Micro-organisms in the water can cause infection or even damage your sight.  Do not attempt to rinse your lenses in your mouth, this is asking for an infection. Don't expose your lenses to any kind of water, including bottled, distilled, ocean, lake and tap water.  For the same reasons, you should take them out before swimming or getting in a hot tub. Different types of lenses will require the uses of different types of disinfectant solution. It's...

The first thing to understand is that cheating often signifies that there is something wrong, or missing with the person who cheated. The goal is to find out what that problem is, so once you and your partner overcome the initial shock of your actions, you can decide how to best address the problem. Consider the following questions:  Are you feeling insecure or unattractive?  Do you feel that something is missing in your relationship?  Are you satisfied with your sex life?  Are you (or were you, at the time of the infidelity) particularly stressed about some aspect of your life? Even if it's the first time you've cheated, have you thought about it or wanted to cheat for some time now? Based upon your self-assessment from the previous step, you need to give serious thought to whether or not you really are committed to staying with your partner.  You hurt your partner, and thus your partner deserves your apology, even if you will eventually decide to go separate ways. If you decide to stay together and try to move past this betrayal, the road will not necessarily be smooth, so you shouldn't be willing to put your partner through that if you aren't fully committed. To help you figure out if you are interested in continuing your relationship, consider writing down your reasons: why do you want to stay together? Try to be as specific as possible. Hopefully you do still love your partner—that should definitely go on the list—but it's fairly vague. What do you love about him/her? What do you enjoy about your relationship? How do you see your future together? Obviously you cheated, and you're going to have to apologize for that. However, you need to let your partner know that you fully understand how and in what ways you hurt them. Be ready to express the specific ways in which you damaged your relationship. You didn't just cheat: you betrayed your partner's trust, you destroyed their idea of your relationship, you (perhaps) embarrassed your partner, and you possibly put your partner at risk for STDs.

TL;DR in Russian:

Постарайтесь понять причину измены. Поймите, действительно ли вы хотите остаться со своим партнером. Потратьте немного времени и запишите все на бумаге. Поймите за что вы извиняетесь.


The first thing you can do to treat a blister burn is to run cool or lukewarm water over the affected area. You can also use a cool bath or press a towel soaked in cool water on the burn. Keep the affected area in the cool water for 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure you are using cool water and not cold or ice water. You can cover the blister burn with a thin layer of honey. Honey has antibiotic and antiseptic properties and has been shown to improve the healing of burns. Gently apply a thin layer over the affected area. Local wild honey is good choice.  Another good choice are the medicinal honeys, such as Manuka honey. If you have a blister from a burn, it is recommended that you cover the affected area with a sterile bandage if possible. Leave enough room for blister formation. Make a tent in the bandage or cloth over the burn. This helps prevent the blister from breaking or becoming irritated or infected. If it isn't possible to use a bandage or gauze, use a clean towel or cloth instead. Many people believe that you should use all sorts of household items as burn remedies. People think you should put butter, egg whites, oil sprays, or ice on burns. Don't put these substances on a blister burn. They can lead to infection or tissue damage. Instead, either use a burn cream or ointment, honey, or skip any type of ointment completely. You should not break open the blister that forms from a burn, at least for the first three to four days. To aid in keeping the blister in tact, keep it covered. To remove the bandage without breaking the blister, you may have to soak the bandage in warm water.  Change the bandage daily, applying either the antibiotic ointment or the honey every time. If the burn blister becomes too painful or has become infected, you can take steps to carefully break the blister. Always wash your hands first, and then clean the area around the blister with alcohol or an iodine solution to kill off any bacteria on the skin.

The first thing you need to do is give the girl some space. If you start knocking down her door and calling her every five minutes she'll only pull further away from you. The amount of space and time you give her depends on what happened when you tried to date her. If you ended a serious relationship, you'll need to give her more space than you would if you had just dated a few times.  Don't call her, chat with her at parties, or email her just to see how she's doing. If you see her socially, be polite and say hi, but make it clear that you're not going to bother her. Just don't give her too much space. If you leave her alone for a few months, that will give her plenty of time to find someone new. Not only should you give her some space, but you should give yourself some space to reflect and think about what went wrong in the relationship. Take the time to sit down and ask what you did to make her not want you; were you too attentive, too moody, or too distant? Whatever you did, you have to make sure never to do it again if you want a moment of her day.  Write down the things that went wrong. Consider what you can do to improve this kind of behavior. Don't date anyone else during the reflection period. Focus on self-improvement and working on not repeating the same mistakes. Don't pursue her until you've figured out what went wrong and know how to change it. Though you should avoid getting busy in the bedroom while you're trying to win your girl back, you should try to live a busy and active life so you can work on being independent and pursuing your interests. If you're just sitting around waiting for enough time to pass to start trying to hang out with her again, she'll know.  Continue pursuing your hobbies and interests. Don't stop doing all of the things you love because your heart is aching. Spend time with your friends. They'll cheer you up and lend you a fresh perspective. Work out. Your self-esteem will improve if you exercise a few times a week, and all the better if she sees you out running. Once...

The first thing you need to do is sterilize the scissors you will be using to snip off the skin tag. You can do this using a few different methods. The most thorough way is to use an autoclave (sterilization device) but you may not have one readily available and they can be expensive to buy.   Cheaper alternatives include thoroughly cleaning the scissors with some rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball, or boiling the scissors in a pot of water for ten minutes. Wash your hands with an anti-bacterial soap and carefully place the sterilized scissors on a clean towel and leave to dry. Avoid touching the sterilized blade from this point on. This will extend the skin tag and give you more space to get the scissors as close to the base of the tag as possible. Before you do this, you can numb the area with a little ice to minimize pain, however removing the skin tag is no more painful than a pinch, so this is probably unnecessary. Position the scissors slowly and carefully to ensure that you will snip the skin tag as close to the base as possible, without cutting the surrounding skin. Once you are in position, snip quickly to minimize pain. It should feel like a quick pinch.  Instead of using sterilized scissors, it is possible to use a nail clippers to remove the skin tag instead. The nail clippers may be easier to use if the skin tag is on the back of your neck, or anywhere hard to reach. Just be sure to sterilize the nail clippers using one of the methods outlined above before using. The base of the skin tag will probably bleed a little after cutting, but this is normal. Take care to disinfect the area before covering, as the last thing you want is to develop an infection. Use a little rubbing alcohol or iodine on a cotton ball to do this.   Cover the area with a skin-colored band-aid and allow the skin tag at least 24 hours to heal. If any signs of infection should develop, such as swelling, tenderness, redness or oozing around the wound, consult your doctor immediately.

Простерилизуйте ножницы. Зажмите нарост пинцетом и оттяните его. Возьмите стерилизованные ножницы и отрежьте нарост. Очистите ранку и закройте лейкопластырем.


The first thing you need to do is take a long, hard look at what factors led up to the breakup. Consider whether these same difficulties are likely to cause more relationship problems if you try to get back together, or if you might be able to get past them. It's important to think about what you might have done to cause the breakup. Blaming your ex for everything is not a great way to get him back! Breakups are never easy, even when the relationship was not a good fit. For this reason, it's crucial to think about your motives for wanting to get your boyfriend back. If you want to get back together because you are sad or lonely or don't like being single, you should probably reconsider. Just because you miss your ex does not mean you should be with him. These feelings will go away eventually, although it may take some time. If you want to get back together because you genuinely care for your ex and you can see yourself having a future with him, then go ahead and try to get him back! If your boyfriend was physically, emotionally, or verbally abusive in any way, you should not try to get back together with him. It's perfectly normal for you to miss him even if it was an unhealthy relationship, but it's important to remind yourself that you can do better. Because the end of a relationship is often tumultuous, it's best to give both yourself and your ex some time away from each other before you try to patch things up. You both need to be able to get over the initial pain of the breakup and think about what you really want.  This doesn't mean you need to completely shun him if you go to school together or have mutual friends, but avoid calling him or hanging out with him for a little while so that you both have the chance to heal and gather your thoughts. If your ex contacts you a lot, let him know that you're going to give him some time so he doesn't think you don't want anything to do with him. This is especially important if the guy you love is a bit shy or insecure. He may need some time to realize how much he...

The first thing you need to do is to add up all of the numbers in the set. Let's say you're working the following set of numbers: 1, 2, 3, and 6. 1+2+3+6=12{\displaystyle 1+2+3+6=12}. There are 4 distinct numbers in the set. So, take the sum of the numbers, 12, and divide it by 4 to get the average.12/4=3{\displaystyle 12/4=3}. The average of the group of numbers is 3.

The first thing you need to do to play "Hide and Seek" is to recruit players. At least two players are needed to play the game. Naturally, however, the more players you have, the better. If you have players of different ages, take this into consideration. Younger players can fit more places, but they sometimes choose less-than-brilliant places to hide and don't have the longest of attention spans. If you do not set down rules, you will have people running to places that shouldn't be hidden in -- either antiques end up breaking or private places get intruded upon -- or someone gets stuck in a washing machine. And, people may run outside when everybody's inside. Block off rooms like the attic, parents' bedrooms, any room that holds heirlooms, and bedrooms. Or let people hide in those places, just say things like, "All right, you are allowed to hide in my bedroom, just don't mess up the bed and put everything back in its place."  Make sure everyone stays safe. You don't want your friends falling out of trees or climbing onto the roof. Make a rule to only hide in places two people could fit or to hide in a place everyone would/can go. We'll talk about game variations in a bit. But for now, set down the ground rules -- who's hiding, who's seeking, where to hide, how long you get to hide, etc. An outdoor location works best, although indoors is fine for rainy days. It will be necessary to set boundaries for hiding or you will have players running off to too many far-off locations. It's not called Run a Mile and Go Seek!  If you're playing with your parents around, make sure they know what's going on. They may not want you hiding in the cobwebs of the garage, under the porch, or they may not want to jump in the shower to already find you in it. Try to play in different places every time. If you do it in the same spot (different games, not rounds) then people will remember the good places and search there first.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите игроков. Обговорите правила игры. Найдите подходящее место.


The first thing you need to do to starting shopping on eBay is to set up an account. You won't be able to buy or sell items without creating an account. Go to ebay.com and click on the link to "register" on the top left-hand corner of the page. You will be asked to input your full name and email address, along with creating an eBay username and password. You will then be sent a confirmation email which you will need to open in order to activate your account. Now you're ready to start shopping! You can search for a specific item on eBay by typing a keyword into the search box at the top of the homepage. Alternatively, you can browse through the list of categories - which features everything from fashion, to electronics, to home ware - to see what's on offer. A list of all ongoing auctions will appear, which you can scroll through to compare. If it's your first time making a purchase an eBay, it is advisable to get involved in some low-priced auctions first, so you can get a feel for how the site works without worrying about spending large sums of money. Learning how to bid smartly and successfully is a skill, which you will need to practice to become good at.

The first thing you should do for any flat is to remove the affected wheel. Check the side of the wheel at the center of the spokes. If you have a quick release (which looks like a small lever), flip it over and spin it counterclockwise to loosen. If, on the other hand, you see a nut, you will need a wrench to loosen it. After this, disconnect the brakes, move the brake pads out of the way, and remove the wheel. If you're dealing with the rear flat, you'll also have the chain and gears to deal with. Put slack in the chain by shifting into the smallest set of gears. Loosen the quick release or unscrew the nut holding the wheel in place as normal. If necessary, use your hands to pull back on the rear derailleur (the "arm" that the chain passes through containing the small pulleys) and/or maneuver the chain out of the way as you remove the wheel.    When you've successfully removed the flat wheel, take the outer tire off. To do this, it can be helpful to use a sturdy, non-metal prying tool. Bike shops sell small, specially-designed tools called tire levers for this purpose. Whether you use a tire lever or another tool, be careful not to pinch the tube and cause further damage as you work the tire away from the wheel. You can leave one lip of the tire over the wheel rim when you're done to make re-installation easier. Avoid using screwdrivers and butter knives to remove a tire. These are likely to damage the rim and may even puncture the tire. When the tire has been removed, pull the flat tube out from the tire and pinpoint the site of the puncture. This can be done in several ways — a few are listed below:  Inflating the tube 3 to 4 times its normal size and visually checking the surface of the rubber for holes     Listening for any hissing noises     Feeling for streams of air     Plunging the tube in a container of water and looking for bubbles    Flat-causing tire punctures can be surprisingly small. Once you've found one, you don't want to lose it! Use a piece of chalk to make a "+" or "x" that intersects at...

The first thing you should do if you are retaining fluid is to see your doctor. Your doctor can perform a physical exam and tests to determine the cause of your fluid retention. There are many different conditions that can cause fluid retention including:  A heart condition, such as heart failure or cardiomyopathy Kidney failure Underactive thyroid Cirrhosis of the liver An issue with your lymphatic system Deep vein thrombosis Excess fat in your legs A burn or other type of injury Pregnancy Being overweight Being undernourished For women, it's not uncommon to experience some water retention in the days leading up to your period, due to hormonal shifts within the body. Birth-control medication can also cause fluid retention. So can any other type of medical hormonal treatment, including hormone replacement therapy.  If you're experiencing fluid retention leading up to your period, the retention will likely end shortly after your cycle has concluded. However, if the retention is uncomfortable or persistent, a doctor may prescribe you a diuretic. This pill will increase water processing through your body and let you pee out the fluid that you've retained. If your diet is healthy and you do not lead a sedentary lifestyle, your fluid retention could be a side effect of one or more medications you're currently taking. If your body continues to retain fluid for more than a few days, schedule an appointment and speak with your doctor regarding ways to reduce fluid retention as a medication side effect. Medications most likely to cause water retention include:  Antidepressants Chemo therapy medicine Some pain relievers High blood pressure medications Both of these serious medical conditions can cause the body to retain fluid. In these cases, fluid retention is sudden and severe: you'll notice a palpable, rapid change and a large amount of fluid being retained, especially in the lower portion of your body. If you're concerned about heart failure or kidney disease, contact your doctor as soon as possible. These are...

The first thing you should do when trying to help other people stay away from porn is to stop being judgmental. Do not see or portray the situation in a way that makes them bad for what they do. Sexuality is very normal and human. Even most religions teach that it is not anyone's place to judge their fellow man (but is instead the job of the Creator). It's also bad to judge people because it tends to turn them off from what you're trying to do. Many people that might be open to change will become defensive if you judge them and become even more set in their ways. Stay calm when you talk to them and avoid any judgmental language like “Why can't you be more like Michael?” or “Watching pornography will turn you into a pedophile!”. Don't make assumptions about how they think or compare them to other people, since language like this tends to shut people down. The best place to start is to talk to the person you're concerned about. Tell them why you're concerned. Sometimes, people might not realize that they even have a problem or how their problem might affect other people. If you're open and honest, you'll be much better able to reach them and connect with things that they can understand. Say something like, “Will, I know that this is something that you enjoy, but I'm worried about what it's doing to you. There is so much more to life and so much more that you could be doing right now to make yourself happy, but you're spending all your free time in your room. I want you to get more out of life than just this.” Talk to them about the negative effects of pornography. Make sure to use lots of different types of evidence and reasoning though Use real-world evidence, logical arguments, emotional arguments, and whatever else you can. Using a combination of argument types will be best if you don't know how the person will think about the problem. Just remember to avoid making them feel guilty. They may already be dealing with shame, and you want to ultimately build an environment of support, not make things worse. For...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не осуждайте людей. Рассказывайте о своих проблемах. Помогите людям понять, что их поведение является оскорбительным.

Избавьтесь от чрезмерного чувства ответственности.


The first thing you want to do is to remove the grease, so that you can reach the stain underneath. There are a number of ways to do this and which you choose should be based on preference and what is available to you. Try:  Soaking the shirt in dish detergent. Cover the collar stain in regular liquid dish soap, like Dawn. Let it soak for an hour (or more) and then rinse it out. The shirt will probably need to be wet first, to really help the soap soak in. Using Fast Orange or similar degreasers. Use products like Fast Orange, which are designed to cut through kitchen grease. Spray them on, allow them to soak for 5 minutes, and then rinse them away. Be careful of very harsh products though, as these can irritate the skin. Using shampoo for greasy hair. Using shampoo designed for greasy hair in a similar process as described above for Dawn can yield surprising results. Adding to the grease. If none of the other methods work, some people swear by adding more grease to the shirt collar. In theory, the new fat molecules bond to the old ones and help drawn them out. Use products like lanolin hand cleaners, which can be found at drug stores or car shops. After you've gotten the grease out, you should be left with the actual stain. It should be much easier to remove with the grease gone. Again, there are a few different approaches.  Use Shout. This is a common, basic, stain removal product available at many stores. Spray it on, let it set, and wash the shirt as normal. Use Oxyclean. This is another common cleaning product. If you don't have Oxyclean, you can make your own: it's basically just baking soda and hydrogen peroxide mixed together. Oxyclean will need to be placed on the stain and may need to be worked around to get the lifting effect. Just rub the shirt against itself. Though it certainly shouldn't be your first option, you will likely get better results if you agitate the stain. Use an old toothbrush to gently scrub at the stain while it is covered in the degreaser or stain-remover. As long as you don't...

After the keyboard has been detected, you will be asked to set your region and choose your keyboard layout. If you take the computer traveling often, set the region to your home region. Since you performed a clean installation, there will be no data to import. You will be copying your old backed-up files over later. Choose "Do not transfer my information now" and click Continue. If you have an Apple ID, you can use it to log in. This will sync your settings with your other Apple devices. See this guide for details on creating an Apple ID. Entering an Apple ID is optional. You can also choose whether or not you want to register your software with Apple. This can help you if you need to get official support. The administrator account is the account that has permission to change system settings and install software. If the computer is yours, enter your name in the "Name" field, and a nickname in the "Short Name" field. Oftentimes users will simply use a lowercase version of their name in the "Short Name" field.  Your Short Name is used to label your Home directory. It is very difficult to change your Short Name later, so make sure you're happy with it. The administrator account needs a password. You can add a password hint if you'd like as well. Once the Setup Assistant has finished, you're ready to begin using your newly-installed operating system. You will need to reinstall any programs you had before, and you can copy back your old backed-up files to your User folders. After OS X has finished installing, you'll want to install all the available updates as quickly as possible. these help secure your system and can improve performance. You will need to download the updates from Apple, so your computer will need to be connected to the internet.  To get the latest updates, click the Apple menu and select "Software Update...".

The first thing you've got to know is when you should be intimidating and mean. You can't do it all the time or it will lose its value -- and you will lose friends. But if someone has been putting you down, making you feel small, or just not giving you your due, it may be time to turn up the mean/intimidating factor. If you feel like there is a person or people in your life who are constantly treating you with disrespect and that you've tried being nice and it just hasn't worked, it may be time to explore your mean side. If you repeatedly feel disrespected or overlooked, it may be time to act. Being Mr. Nice Guy or Ms. Nice Girl won't always work in your favor, unfortunately. You shouldn't just be mean and intimidating to hurt someone's feelings, to show off, or just to make yourself feel better. If this is what you want, then you may end up just being mean and intimidating all the time. You should only do it if you feel like you really haven't been heard and need to stand your ground, or if there is a person or people in your life who are just walking all over you and not taking you seriously. Remember that you want to use your powers for good, not evil. And this is not to say that fighting fire with fire always works -- if someone is being mean to you, then the solution doesn't have to be to be mean back. But if you've tried everything else, then it may be time to assert yourself. If you're on this page, then chances are that you've found yourself in a dire situation where you feel like you have no other options but to be a bit threatening. If this is the case, then that's fine, but you shouldn't try to make this your new permanent persona. Pick and choose your battles, and don't get in the habit of being mean and intimidating toward too many people or your new personality just might stick. Make sure to watch yourself. If it feels a little too good to be mean and intimidating, then it's time to back off. There are many tricks to acting mean and intimidating and you can definitely adopt some of them....

The first thing you’ll want to do is think about the girl and what you know she values in herself. Girls are conditioned to shy away from compliments and she’ll be much more open to accepting a compliment she agrees with. Notice what she’s proud of, from your experiences with her and compliment her on those things. For example, if she’s clearly very eager to share something she’s done with other people, that’s something you could compliment her on. Like yourself or anyone else, she probably likes to have her hard work validated. If you know she’s worked very hard on something or that there’s something she feels inadequate or self-conscious about, you can try complimenting her on that. This can be tricky though, so be careful how you do it.  For example, if she complains that she hates her nose, tell her that you think it’s cute. Another example would be if she clearly tries to work very hard in school, compliment her either on her work ethic, her determination, or her intelligence. For this type of compliment, whatever you compliment her on has to be honest. Don’t say something you don’t mean just to find something to compliment her on. Look back on the conversations you've had with her and find things to compliment her on that you know she values but thinks that she doesn't possess. Maybe you noticed that she told you she likes how hard you fight for the things that you want, but she fights just as hard. Maybe you noticed that she said she wished she had a figure like some other girl, but you think her figure is better. It is important to consider whether or not she actually possesses the quality you want to compliment her on. Telling her she’s good at something that she’s not will catch her notice and she’ll know you don’t mean it. The best thing to compliment a girl on is her personality. This is something that she has a certain amount of control over and it is something that is intrinsically her, rather than something like clothing which usually has very little to do with her and who she is. Think about...
