Gymnasts throw their bodies through the air headfirst like it's no big deal. To be a good gymnast, you have to be willing to take physical risks for the sake of seeing what your body is capable of. It's normal to feel butterflies before trying a new move on the high bar or doing a flip on the balance beam, but you'll need to be able to push through the jitters if you want to excel. The more you practice, the less frightening it will be.  While gymnastics does involve risk, with the help of a coach you'll learn how to minimize the dangers by using the correct form. Your instructor won't have you try a move he or she doesn't think you're advanced enough to try. You will fall many, many times as you train to become a gymnast. You'll have to pick yourself up and keep going. The further the advance, the more tears and pain you'll experience. However, if you're a determined gymnast, the results will be worth everything it takes to get good. Concentrating on the task at hand is a good way to overcome fear. If you're thinking deeply about what your body needs to do, you won't be as worried about messing up. Your body will be more able to move the way it needs to if you nourish it with healthy food. Athletes need plenty of calories to keep their muscles strong, but it's important not to eat so much that your body feels heavy when you're trying to perform.  A healthy athlete's diet includes the following:  Plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other plant-based foods that are as unprocessed as possible. Lean meat, dairy, and other good sources of protein. Whole grains and legumes to provide carbohydrates for energy. Avoid sugary foods, sodas, processed foods, and anything that makes you feel less energetic. Don't forget to stay hydrated, too: drink six to eight glasses of water per day, especially before and after practicing. Being a gymnast is in some ways like being a dancer. A gymnastics performance involves style and grace, just like dancing does. Gymnasts and dancers both have a special mind-body connection...

Будьте бесстрашны со своим телом. Питайтесь по спортивной диете. Укрепляйте связь ума с телом. С желанием отдавайтесь работе. Нацельтесь на совершенство.


H-grade leads are the hardest leads. Ironic as it sounds, these leads do produce finer lines. They're not as easy to sharpen, but the crispness of the lead's edges lasts longer than softer leads. For the lightest quality, opt for 9H. If you prefer darker marks from a soft lead, use H. B-grade leads are the softest leads. Choose this variety if you want to sharpen the lead more quickly and easily. The down side is that they lose their crisp edges more quickly. Use 9B for the darkest quality lines and B for the lightest. If you're drawing, you might outline with a harder lead, then darken and shade with a softer lead. F (#2 ½) is right in the middle of the hardness and darkness scale with the #2 lead. Like #2, it sharpens to a fine point. Its line quality is only slightly lighter and harder. While this lead is safe for drawing and general writing, it's not recommended for standardized tests. Not all test readers will give accurate results for even a slight variation from #2.

HDL, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, acts as the body's waste-disposal system in the blood. HDL combs through blood for bad cholesterol, LDL, and flushes it out to your liver for disposal. HDL lowers inflammation throughout the body and may even help against Alzheimer's. High cholesterol does not have overt side effects, but it can be devastating on your health. Illnesses that come from bad cholesterol are serious, and should only be treated by a healthcare professional. Your doctor may suggest changes in lifestyle or diet if your HDL measures less than 60 mg/dL. While in-home cholesterol tests are on the market, they have not yet been as accurate or trustworthy as a basic blood test. Having ‘good cholesterol’ is a combination of limiting LDLs and increasing HDLs. While you may be doing one of these very well, it is helpful to see the big picture if you are falling behind on the other. To calculate total blood cholesterol, add your LDL, HDL, and 20 percent of your triglycerides.  Triglycerides are body fat, so you want this number to be lower. Aim for a total blood cholesterol under 200. Above 240 is considered to be high.

HDMI ports resemble thin, wide slots which taper down to a bottom which is more narrow than the top. Most modern PCs have at least one free HDMI port. If your computer doesn't have an HDMI port, you'll need to buy an output to HDMI adapter where output is your computer's video output. Common non-HDMI output options include DisplayPort, USB-C, and DVI or VGA (older computers only). Measure the space between your TV and your PC (if not using a laptop), then get an HDMI cable which is a few feet longer. This will ensure that you have enough slack to work with if things need to be moved around.  There is very little difference in an HDMI cable that costs $5 and a cable that costs $70. Since HDMI is a digital signal, its either "on" or "off", and the cable doesn't affect signal quality. The difference in quality only becomes apparent with longer cables. HDMI cables are compliant with standards up to 40 feet (12.2 m) in length. There are longer cables available that will technically still work, but they are likely not complying with standards.  If you need to run HDMI over extremely long distances, you'll likely need an amp to boost the power. The HDMI cable should plug into one of the "HDMI" inputs at the back (or on the side) of the TV. If your LG TV has more than one HDMI port, the port will have a number on it. This number pertains to the HDMI channel to which you'll need to switch later. Plug the HDMI cable into the port on your computer. If you're using an adapter for your PC's video output, plug the adapter into the PC, then plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the outside of the adapter. Press the Power button on your LG TV remote to do so. Use the TV's "Input" button to switch to the HDMI number which pertains to the TV input that you used to plug in your HDMI cable. You should see your PC's screen appear on the TV. If your PC's sound is still coming from your computer and not your TV, do the following:  Open Start  Type in sound  Click the speaker-shaped Sound option. Select your LG TV in the...

HFMD is mild-to-moderately infectious and is spread by contact (usually via the mouth) with an infected person's: nasal secretions, throat mucous, saliva (including droplets sprayed from coughing and sneezing), fluid from blisters and feces (poop). Therefore, if you see anyone (especially young children) looking ill and complaining or exhibiting the above mentioned symptoms, avoid them until they are recovered.  You may have to keep your child out of preschool or elementary school for a week to either prevent getting HFMD or spreading it to others. Teach your child to notify adults if they feel ill or see symptoms such as red spots or rashes on the skin of other children. Because HFMD is contagious and transmitted through touch and body fluids, keep your hands (or those of your children) disinfected. Always wash hands with soap and water, especially after using the toilet and changing diapers. Try not to touch your mouth with your hands, especially after you've touched someone else. Avoid sharing eating utensils or cups/glasses with people with HFMD or other viral infections.  Regularly disinfecting countertops, tables, chairs, toys and other surfaces which are commonly touched is a good preventative approach. Disinfect your hands (and your children's hands) multiple times per day with regular soap, and don't go overboard on the hand sanitizer because it can promote the growth of "super bugs" that are resistant to medications. Natural disinfectants appropriate for household use include white vinegar, lemon juice, salt water, diluted bleach and hydrogen peroxide. With any type of infection, true prevention depends on the strong and healthy functioning of your immune system. Your immune system is comprised of specialized cells that search and destroy potential pathogens such as viruses, but when the system is weak, disease-causing microorganisms grow and spread virtually unchecked. As such, it's not surprising that those most at risk for infections, including HFMD, are young children and the immunocompromised....

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте контакта с людьми, проявляющими симптомы заболевания. Соблюдайте правила гигиены. Укрепляйте иммунную систему.


HIV rash usually causes blotches and spots on the skin, red for people with fair skin and dark purplish for people with dark skin.  The severity of the rash varies from patient to patient. Some get a very severe rash that covers a large area, while others only have a minor rash.  If the HIV rash is the result of antiviral medications, the rash will appear as raised reddish lesions that cover your whole body. These rashes are called “drug eruptions”. This is usually where the HIV rash shows up on your body. However, the rash tends to disappear by itself within a few weeks. Some people mistake it for an allergic reaction or eczema. HIV rash is not transmittable, so there is no risk of spreading HIV via this rash. These include:  Nausea and vomiting Mouth sores Fever  Diarrhea Muscle pain Cramps and body aches Enlargement of your glands Blurred or hazy vision Loss of appetite Joint pain This rash occurs due to the fall in the number of white blood cells (WBC) in your body. HIV rash can occur at any stage of infection but generally, you notice it two to threes weeks after you have contracted the virus. This phase is called seroconversion, which is when the infection becomes detectable via a blood test. Some people may skip this phase and develop HIV rash in the later stages of having the virus.  HIV rash can also be caused by an adverse reaction to anti-HIV medicines. Drugs like Amprenavir, abacavir, and nevirapine can cause HIV skin rashes. During the third phase of HIV infection, you can develop skin rashes due to dermatitis. This type of HIV rash appears pink or reddish and are itchy. It can last from one to three years and is usually found on your groin, underarms, chest, face, and back areas. You can also get HIV rashes if you have Herpes and are HIV-positive.

TL;DR in Russian:

HPV can spread through any skin-to-skin contact involving the genitals. This can happen during vaginal sex, anal sex, hand-to-genital contact, genital-to-genital contact without penetration, and (rarely) oral sex. HPV can remain in your system for years without causing symptoms. This means you could still have HPV even if you have not recently had sex, or if you have only been having sex with one partner.  You cannot get HPV from shaking hands or from inanimate objects such as toilet seats (except possibly shared sex toys). The virus does not spread through the air.  Condoms do not protect you completely from HPV, but they may reduce the chance of transmission. Some strains of HPV can cause genital warts: lumps or growths in the genital or anal region. These are considered low risk strains, since they rarely lead to cancer. If you're not sure whether you have genital warts, compare your symptoms to the following:  The most common location for genital warts in men is under the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis, or on the shaft of a circumcised penis. Warts can also appear on the testicles, groin, thighs, or around the anus.  Less commonly, warts can appear inside the anus or urethra, causing bleeding or discomfort at the toilet. You do not need to have anal sex to get anal warts.  The warts can vary in number, shape (flat, raised, or cauliflower-like), color (skin-colored, red, pink, grey, or white), firmness; and symptoms (none, itchiness, or pain). HPV rarely causes cancer in men. Even though almost every sexually active person has been exposed to HPV, it only causes anal cancer in about 1,600 U.S. men a year. Anal cancer can begin without any obvious symptoms, or with one or more of the following:  Bleeding, pain, or itching of the anus. Unusual discharge from the anus. Swollen lymph nodes (lumps you can feel) in the anal or groin area. Unusual bowel movements or a change in the shape of your stools. About 700 U.S. men each year are diagnosed with HPV-caused penile cancer. Possible signs of early penile...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, как передается ВПЧ-инфекция. Выявите бородавки в области гениталий. Обратите внимание на признаки рака заднего прохода. Выявите рак полового члена. Присмотритесь к признакам рака горла и ротовой полости. Узнайте о факторах риска ВПЧ-инфекции у мужчин.


HPV is incredibly common, so don't be hard on yourself. In the United States, about 80 percent of sexually active people will contract HPV at some time in their lives. Most people don't develop any symptoms, and it often goes away on its own.  Diagnosing HPV in males is more difficult because they often don't show any symptoms. When you're considering a new sexual partner, make sure you both get tested at an STD clinic. Scientists don't completely understand how the virus goes dormant, but in most cases, a healthy immune system can suppress HPV within 1 to 2 years. If you’re diagnosed with HPV, you should tell your past or current sexual partners. There’s no way to tell when you might have contracted HPV; warts can develop weeks, months, or years after the initial exposure. Treating an outbreak will not cure HPV, so you should inform future partners as well.  Ask your doctor for information about the specific strain of HPV you contracted. There are well over 100 strains, and there are very few cases of strains that can cause reproductive cancers. Ask your doctor if you're at risk of developing a reproductive cancer.  It's a tough conversation to have, but try to be direct and honest. Tell past partners, "I want to let you know that I recently received treatment for HPV. It's impossible to know when or how I contracted it, but I thought you'd want to know and get tested."  You don't have to share every detail of your sexual history with a new partner, but you should allow them to make an informed decision before having sex, especially if you've ever received treatment. It's easier to spread the virus that causes genital warts during an outbreak. Additionally, the treated area will be irritated, so you'll need to avoid sexual contact. Ask your doctor how long you should wait before having intercourse after treatment.  The length of time you should avoid intercourse depends on the type of treatment you receive. Treating warts reduces, but doesn’t completely eliminate, the risk of spreading HPV. Using condoms...

HRMax is the theoretical maximum maximum speed at which your heart can beat. It varies with your age and is used to determine how fast your heart should be beating during exercise of differing levels of difficulty.  Subtract your age from 220. For example, a 20 year old should have a maximum heart rate of about 200 beats per minute. Some blood pressure medications may lower your maximum heart rate. If you are on blood pressure medications and using your heartbeat to monitor your exercise, contact your doctor to see how you should determine your maximum heart rate. Consult with a doctor before starting any new exercise routine if you have a health condition, particularly high blood pressure, diabetes, or a heart condition. Moderate exercise for 2.5 hours per week should help your heart stay healthy. You are considered to be doing moderate exercise if:  Your heart rate is 50-70% of your maximum heart rate. That means that a 20 year old with a maximum heart rate of 200 beats per minute should have a target heart rate of 100–140 beats per minute during moderate exercise. You are dancing, hiking on the flat, biking slower than 10 miles per hour (mph) (16 km/hr), walking at about 3.5 mph (5.6 km/hr), downhill skiing, swimming, gardening, playing doubles in tennis, or playing golf. These activities should produce a heart rate that is 50–70% of your maximum heart rate. If they do not, you may need to push yourself a little harder. Doing vigorous exercise for 75 minutes per week or more will improve your heart’s health. You are considered to be doing vigorous exercise when:  Your heart rate is 70–85% of your maximum heart rate. For a 20 year old, this would be 140–170 beats per minute during vigorous exercise. You are walking at 4.5 mph (7.2 km/hr) or faster, biking at 10 mph (16km/hr), hiking uphill, walking up stairs, cross-country skiing, playing soccer, running, jumping rope, playing singles in tennis, playing basketball, or doing heavy yard work. If you don't have a monitor or want to stop and take measurements,...

Ha, that's a funny way of saying "Go to any store that sells clothes for young adults." Never shop at "mainstream" stores (like Hollister, American Eagle, Aeropostale...) Have you not noticed the prevalence of pseudo-vintage tees everywhere? To be more, what's the word, authentic, shop at vintage stores, second-hand shops, or go around begging relatives. (Goodwill, Urban Outfitters, Miracle Hill) Surely one of them has an old Reading Rainbow tee in a box somewhere from when they were 12. You want your tee to be either too small- chop off the bottom and make it a crop top, then throw it over that tank top/cami you hate- or too large,- tuck it into those high waisted pants you found at a garage sale- if at all possible. But if you found a gem of a Davy Jones tee from your favorite aunt that fits you just right, by all means. Davy's worth it. The great news here is that scarves go with everything. EVERYTHING. Wearing a tank top? Scarf. Wearing a wedding dress? Scarf. Is it 95º out? Scarf. Familiarize yourself with at least a dozen ways to tie your scarf. If in doubt, just drape it nonchalantly around your neck, wrapped around once. You don't care what it looks like. You just love the comfy neck feeling, right? (Hipsters don't give a flip about anyone or anythings' opinion.) Sometimes you like a healthy breeze down there, don't you? Dresses can be straight up more comfortable. But just like a good tee, your dresses should evoke a feeling from a different era. Flowery, vintage, and old-school is a safe bet. The flowery, the better.  Did you find the perfect dress somewhere that's just a bit too big to be legal? Or maybe you found a dress that's too conservative and the sleeves need to be chopped off. This is the exact purpose neon bras and bandeaus were invented. Not kidding. Look it up. Too cold for a dress? Ha, good one! Have you not heard of wool tights? Wool, patterned, neon tights? If that doesn't solve all your problems, nothing will. Plain black tights under thick hiking socks is another great look, too. We...

Habbo boasts a vibrant, active community of over 5 million unique users per month. Unfortunately, as with any community of this size, a small percentage of the members are bad apples who don't have qualms about cheating an unsuspecting newcomer out of their hard-earned coins. This sort of deception can take many forms — the most direct are schemes that aim to steal your login information so that the scammer can take your coins and items. Below are a few common examples of this tactic:  Phishing: emails or messages from someone claiming to be a Habbo staff member or moderator asking for your username and/or password. Real Habbo staff members and mods will never ask for these details. Password-blocking scams. Often used to trick new users — the scammer pretends that Habbo automatically censors a user's password by typing a fake blocked-out password in the chat window (e.g., "Check this out! Habbo censors your password. ********* See?"). If a naive user tries this, their password will appear in the chat window uncensored. As of August 2014, casinos have been essentially banned in Habbo — games of random chance that award furni are no longer allowed and there is a hard limit of three dice games per room. Before the ban, not all casinos in Habbo operated fairly, making gambling a risky source of income. However, since the ban, the gambling that remains has become even more illegitimate and informal. Don't rely on improvised games of  chance to make money — it's usually easy for the dealer or organizer to steal from you, especially if you need to provide your bet or wager up-front. Never, ever give anything (especially rare furni) to someone you don't strictly trust. Once you give something to another player, it's theirs. No matter what they promise they'll do for you once they have your items, there's nothing preventing them from simply taking them and walking away. Because of this, you shouldn't ever give other players your items under any circumstances unless they're a proven friend. Below are a just a few...

Hacking your PSP will allow you to access a wide variety of custom made software. This software is called Homebrew, and it ranges from games to productivity programs.  Hacked PSPs can also run emulators, which are programs that allow you to play games from other consoles on your PSP. Hacked PSPs can run images of PSP games without having to have the original copy. This is for legal backups only. There have been a lot of variations on hacking the PSP as the years have gone by. Now that the console is no longer supported, a standard hack has appeared that works on all systems running the latest official version.

Hair and soap often accumulate underneath the strainer, which is located in or over the drain. Though many strainers can be removed manually, some have screws that will need to be removed, too. Remove the screws with the proper screwdriver.  If you do not know which type of screwdriver to use, match the screwdriver to the screw head.  The size and shape of the screwdriver head should easily fit into the screw. Turn each screw surrounding the strainer until all are loose. Then, place the screws in a safe location while you unclog the drain. Some drains have tub stoppers instead of strainers, and these are also located in the drain. These are easier to remove because they are not held down with any screws. Simply remove the stopper by twisting and lifting it. A lot of gunk may have accumulated on the strainer or stopper over time. Clean any hair or soap scum; you may have to scrub the strainer and stopper depending on how dirty they are. When the drain stick is inserted deep enough, it will hit a drain trap, which is a curved part of the drain. Keep pushing the drain stick through this trap. The stick is flexible and will bend. The claw has many small interlocking hooks, so it will grab hair and allow you to pull gunk out. Clean the gunk off of the drain stick if you want to save it to use again in the future. Hair and soap can build up in as little as a few months, so having a drain stick often comes in handy. Water should now go down the drain properly. If this method did not work, try another method. If the drain claw worked, you can now replace your strainer or stopper. Strainers will need to be screwed back onto the top of the drain, whereas you can just place the stopper back in the drain.

TL;DR in Russian:

Снимите решетку. Снимите пробку сливного отверстия. Удалите отложения грязи на решетке или пробке. Введите сантехнический трос в сливное отверстие. Извлеките трос. Проверьте, устранен ли засор в сливе ванны. Установите решетку или пробку на место.


Hair can be a great asset when cared for properly but can also detract from your appearance if neglected. Even if you have no time to put it up, make sure it’s brushed and that you have a ponytail holder with you. Short hair is normal too.   Wash your hair regularly. Gently towel-dry it and let it air-dry as often as possible; blow-drying is hard on your hair. Condition your hair to keep it looking healthy and vibrant. Find a formula that works for you; nothing is one-size-fits-all. Of course you want to minimize flaws and accentuate your best features, but don’t pack it on; unnatural makeup makes you look fake. If you want people to think you are normal, then be real and look real. It's normal to not want to wear makeup too.  A touch of base, a hint of blush, a bit of eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara can help bring your face to life. To avoid looking like a painted lady, choose colours that compliment your natural colouring. Go natural if that’s what feels best to you. Be sure to eat right, drink lots of water, and pamper your skin to make it glow.

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за своей прической. Пусть ваш макияж будет естественным.


Hair dye that does not contain peroxide may be able to cover the henna better than traditional dyes, which may cause the hair to turn blue. Growing the color out of your hair may take a long time, but it might be the best option if you have dyed your hair with henna.  Trying new hairstyles while your hair is growing may help you pass the time during this frustrating period of time. If you cut your hair short, you might be able to cut off most or all of the henna-dyed hair.  Even if the henna goes all the way to the roots, short haircuts will grow the color out sooner than long hair cuts because there is less area to grow out. As a last resort, try wearing a hat or even a wig until your hair has recovered from the henna treatment.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте неокисляющую краску, чтобы закрыть хну. Отрастите волосы. Постригите волосы очень коротко. Носите шляпу или парик.


Hair extensions are typically made of human hair that are sewn into wefts, or tracks, either with a machine or by hand. They come in endless colors, textures and lengths. Choose a color and texture that matches your hair, so the extensions will look as natural as possible. If the extensions match your hair and are applied correctly, no one will be able to tell the difference between your natural hair and your extensions.  Dying or adding highlights to the extensions can help you get the perfect color or shade. If you are stuck in between two shades, select the lighter one. Virgin or Remy wefts are made from either untreated or minimally treated human hair. These options are expensive, but they result in the most natural look. Synthetic options are less expensive, but they often cannot be styled or washed. They may not look as natural as human hair options. In addition to weft extensions, you’ll need hair bonding glue. The glue should match the color of your hair extensions. Do not attempt to use any other type of glue to put in extensions. If you bought straight extensions, and your hair is naturally curly, you'll need to start by permanently straightening your hair before you apply the extensions. The texture should be as close as possible to achieve a natural look. This helps to keep your hair in place during the process and protect it from getting damaged. For short hair (above shoulder-length), slick your hair back with a hair setting solution, then comb the hair as close to your scalp as possible. For longer hair, pull your hair into a tight, low ponytail and slick your hair back with a hair setting solution. Allow the setting solution to dry completely. Use a comb to part your hair in a rectangle shape on the top of your head. Part it on either side and across the back, right where your head juts out the most. Secure the hair within these parts with a hairband to keep it out of the way. All of the wefts will be applied below this rectangular part. You need enough hair within the rectangle to cover the...

Hair is quite porous and it tends to hold onto smells more than your skin does. Tie back long hair and cover it with a bandanna or towel to prevent the smoke from getting to your hair. If you have a plastic shower cap, then this is ideal because the plastic will protect your hair and it will not pick up any of the smoke’s smell either. The more clothing that you have on, the more likely you will be to collect smoke smell on your clothes. Consider taking off your shirt when you smoke or at least roll up your sleeves. You might also consider wearing a designated smoking jacket (or sweatshirt) when you smoke. You can keep it hidden in your room somewhere and wear it when you need to smoke. Make sure that you wash it at least once per week to keep it from smelling too much. You will need to have something to cover up the smell of the smoke, so try lighting a couple of sticks of incense or a scented candle. If you don’t have any of these things, then you can also spray some air freshener around your room before and after you start smoking. To prevent smoke from escaping to other parts of your house, place a damp towel along the crack beneath your bedroom door. The damp towel will not only block the smoke from getting out of your room and absorb some of the odor as well. You want to try to direct as much smoke as possible out of your room. If smoke can't exit through an open window or duct, the smoke will leave its odor on walls, carpets, furniture and linens. If you happen to have a fireplace duct in your room, then that is even better. Fireplaces are specifically designed to allow smoke to escape a building, so it will be easier to direct smoke out of your room if your room has a fireplace duct. The better the ventilation of your smoking room, the less likely you are to be caught smoking indoors. Turn on a fan to push the smoke toward the window and to help disperse it after it forms. A tabletop fan pointed toward an open window or air duct is ideal. If you are smoking in a bathroom with a ventilator or exhaust...

Hair relaxers work by treating your hair with an alkaline agent that breaks down the hair follicle to straighten it. This treatment is effective and permanent. The downside is that it can also be pricey, and the chemicals can cause long-term damage to your hair and even your skin.  Do research to make sure you go to a good salon to get your hair relaxed. Strong chemicals in the wrong hands can wreak havoc on your hair. Don't get a straightening treatment done on freshly washed hair. Go several days without washing first so your hair has some natural protection from the chemicals. You can also get a texturizing treatment, which is similar to a relaxing treatment but with less severe chemicals and a softer, wavier effect. Keratin treatments last about 6 weeks, after which they wash out. They leave the hair looking straight and sleek, but some treatments contain formaldehyde. If you're worried about using chemicals on your hair and skin, skip this one. In recent years this technique has become more popular. It's a sulfer-based treatment that is said to be less harsh on the hair, with permanent effects. If you're interested in this treatment, be sure to go to an experienced beautician.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте релаксацию волос. Попробуйте лечение кератином. Рассмотрите японский метод выпрямления волос.


Hair removal cream is similar to shaving, since the effects last a short amount of time, but does not use a razor or shaving cream. The Nair cream is applied to the hair for specific amount of time, which dissolves the hair, and then is scraped off.These creams chemically remove hair without pain; results can last up to two weeks. This is bought at most drugstores such as Walmart, RiteAid, or Target.  This is done in the comfort of your own home as well, but is slightly more time consuming than shaving. This method is easier if you're prone to accidental cutting from razors, or have trouble shaving. There are some limitations to this method. You can't put them anywhere near your face, breasts (women) or genitals. Some people have an allergic reaction to the chemicals which may result in a rash, extreme tingling sensation or general discomfort to the area. If any of these occur, you should seek medical advice.  Hair removal creams are one of the safest options providing you don't have an allergy to them. To check if you do have an allergy you can start by applying a small amount to the back of your hand, waiting five minutes and noting if any symptoms occur (Itchiness, Rash, Redness, Irritation, inflammation etc.). If you do get symptoms, maybe hair removal cream isn't your best option. It's best to do this before you shower. Wet your skin down, apply the cream and lather it up, wait for up to 10 minutes (5 normally does it), then scrape the cream off. Most creams come with a soft plastic scraper, don't let it intimidate you, just press it to the skin and glide. Afterwards you can rinse the rest of it off with water as it may leave the area feeling sticky/slimy.  Don't leave the cream on your skin for longer than the specified time. Wash yourself thoroughly with warm water and mild soap, and rinse twice according to the directions. If you experience irritation, you'll need to try another method. If you do it too much, it can damage the layers of your skin. It does not hurt, but  the hair and the cells inside...

Haircuts and hairstyles can make you look a lot younger. There is no one way to wear your hair to look mature. However, there are things you can avoid so you don't look young. Don't dye your hair crazy colors or place colored streaks in them. Shy away from extreme hairstyles, like mohawks, half-shaved heads, and dreadlocks. Wear your hair in a conservative manner.  Shaggy hair makes a guy’s face look much younger. Replace it with a short, defined cut.  Spiked hair, long hair, or any other alternative hairstyle might make you look younger. For women, think about cutting your hair into a bob, pixie cut, or other chic hairstyle. Long, sleek hair can also look mature. Avoid wearing lots of hair accessories, like hairbands, hair bows, and scrunchies. For a guy, growing facial hair can make you look older and more mature. A recent study found that beards can make a man look up to 10 years older. If you decide to grow facial hair, make sure it is a good look on you. Some teenage boys can't grow enough facial hair to have goatees or beards.  Make sure to trim and groom your facial hair. Messy, unkempt beards look bad. If it grows in thinly, keep yourself clean-shaven. Uneven patches of facial hair will make you look even younger. wear makeup, which can add years to your face. Use eyeliner to outline your eyes. Wear neutral colors, like golds and browns. Don't wear bright or pastel colors. Add some foundation to smooth out your skin.  Conceal the circles under your eyes with concealer.  Avoid teenage products like thick, sparkling lip gloss or baby-pink nail polish. Appearing to have clear skin will definitely add maturity to your face. Use a spot concealer to cover acne. Adopt a healthy skin care regiment. Try over the counter acne products, like spot creams and cleansing wipes.  Wash your face twice a day with an acne cleansing face wash. Use a moisturizer on your skin. If you have oily skin, use an oil-free moisturizer. If you have dry skin, find one that helps fight dry skin.  If you’re a girl, you might wear...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте взрослую стрижку. Парням рекомендуется отрастить бороду. Носите легкий макияж. Маскируйте угревую сыпь. Тренируйтесь.


Hairs are most likely to become ingrown in areas of your body that you shave often. So, keep these areas clean by washing them often. If you get ingrown hairs frequently, you can also apply an antiseptic to provide extra protection against infection. You may also wish to apply a daily topical solution to prevent any further ingrown hairs from developing. If you shave your face when it’s dry, you’ll put yourself at a higher risk for getting ingrown hairs. So, rinse with warm water 2 or 3 minutes before shaving. You can also wash with a mild facial cleanser before you shave. When you apply your shaving cream, let it sit for another 2 or 3 minutes to soften the skin before you begin shaving. Or, simply shave right after you get out of the shower. Your skin will already be warm and moist. While you can get a closer shave by shaving against the direction of hair growth, you’re less likely to get ingrown hairs if you shave in the same direction. Also try not to give yourself too close of a shave. Hairs that have been shaved very closely are likely to grow back under the skin and become ingrown. The longer and straighter the hair, the less likely it is to curl back into the skin, so try shaving less closely by using a single-blade razor or electric shaver instead of a multi-blade razor.

TL;DR in Russian:

Мойте области, которые вы часто бреете, теплой водой с увлажняющим мылом. Увлажните область, которую вы собираетесь побрить, теплой водой. Брейтесь в направлении роста волос.


Half of the time, sad or stressed people aren't really looking for an answer; they just want to be heard and have a chance to vent. Do you know why they're sad? Do they seem like sharing their feelings with you?  Pull up a chair, offer a smile, and give them a shoulder to cry on. Give advice if you think it will be useful, but the main thing is that you are letting them outlet to you.  Never interrupt them in the middle of their story. Unless there is a pause that tells you commentary is okay, keep your side comments to "Oh" and "Man". Otherwise, you could come off as very rude, making them feel even worse. Seem genuinely interested in what their problem is, even if you couldn't care less or don't really know how to relate. The more interested in their problem you are, the more interested in them you seem, and isn't that the very heart of the issue? People want other people to care for them and be interested in their success. Try to communicate that. Don't let them feel like a burden. Most  of the times, people are hesitant to trust other people with their problems because they don't want the listener to feel saddled with responsibilities.So, If necessary, assure the person who needs cheering up that they aren't in any way a burden, and that you're happy to listen and offer advice if you can. There's no better way to get involved in the conversation other than asking questions, especially questions about how the other person feels. Relevant questions, however, are the key here. Asking questions that have nothing to do with the problem will confuse them, discouraging them from opening up. Here are some great general questions to ask the person in need of cheering up. Hopefully, they'll motivate the person to talk about their feelings, helping them vent:  "How does that make you feel?" "Has this ever happened to you before?" "Is there anyone specifically who you could turn to who could give you advice?" "What do you think you'll do when it comes time to act?" "Is there any way that I can help?" (Be prepared to...

Hallucinations are typically symptomatic of certain psychiatric disorders, but some physiological medical conditions can cause hallucinations, too. The only way to fix the hallucinations long-term is to treat the underlying condition causing them.  Psychological conditions known to cause hallucinations include schizophrenia, schizoid or schizotypal personality disorders, psychotic depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder. Physiological conditions that impact the central nervous system can cause hallucinations, as well. These can include brain tumors, delirium, dementia, epilepsy, stroke, and Parkinson's disease. Certain infections, like bladder infections or chest infections, may also cause hallucinations. Migraines can cause hallucinations in some individuals, too. Drug or alcohol abuse can cause hallucinations, too, especially when consumed in high quantities or during periods of withdrawal. Antipsychotics, also known as neuroleptic drugs, can control hallucinations in most circumstances. These drugs can be prescribed to help treat hallucinations caused by both psychological and physiological conditions, especially when other treatments are unavailable or not enough.  Clozapine, an atypical neuroleptic, is normally given in doses between 6 to 50 mg per day depending on the severity of the hallucinations. The dosage must be increased slowly to prevent fatigue. Regular white blood cell tests must be taken while on this medication, however, since it can lower white blood cell counts to dangerous levels. Quetiapine is another atypical neuroleptic that can treat hallucinations. It is generally less effective than clozapine in most circumstances, but it is also fairly safe to use for most underlying conditions. Other common antipsychotics include risperidone, aripiprazole, olanzapine, and ziprasidone. These medications are generally well tolerated by most patients, but may not be safe for patients suffering with Parkinson's disease. Some medications used to treat other conditions can cause...

TL;DR in Russian:

Диагностируйте и лечите первопричину. Принимайте антипсихотические препараты. Регулируйте дозу принимаемых препаратов. При необходимости пройдите реабилитацию. Регулярно посещайте психотерапевта. Найдите возможность групповой терапии.


Hallucinations can affect any of your five senses—sight, hearing, taste, smell, or touch—and they can be caused by numerous underlying conditions. The perceptions must occur during a state of consciousness, however, and they will seem very real.  Most hallucinations are disorienting and cause distress in those experiencing them, but some can seem pleasant or enjoyable. Hearing voices qualifies as an auditory hallucination, while seeing lights, people, or objects that aren't really there is a common visual hallucination. The sensation of "insects" or other objects crawling on the skin is a common hallucination of touch. High fevers have been known to cause hallucinations of all degrees, especially in children and the elderly. Even if you do not fall into either demographic, fever can still be a cause of some hallucinations, so it is worth checking for.  Hallucinations can occur with any fever higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 degrees Celsius), but they are more common when dealing with fevers higher than 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Any fever higher than 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) warrants immediate medical attention, regardless of whether or not it is accompanied by hallucinations. For fevers you can treat at home, begin by taking a fever-reducing medication like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Drink plenty of fluids and monitor your temperature regularly. Mild and moderate hallucinations can be caused by severe sleep deprivation. Severe hallucinations are generally caused by other conditions but can be aggravated by sleep deprivation, as well.  The average adult should receive between seven and nine hours of sleep every night. If you are currently suffering from severe sleep deprivation, you may need to temporarily increase this amount by several hours until your body recovers. Sleeping during the day can disturb your usual sleep cycle and may trigger insomnia and hallucinations as a result. If your sleeping patterns are thrown off, you should try to establish a normal...

Ham is a popular choice for curing, but you can use anything from beef to venison and much more in between. With a good piece of meat, you really can't go wrong, although the first-time curers might want to go with a more forgiving piece of meat, like pork belly or pork butt. For the most part, use meats with whole muscle groups in their anatomical connection.Pork loin and belly, beef hindquarter or brisket, mutton legs and even duck breast are popular cuts for dry-curing. Say you're trying to make Capicola charcuterie. You might buy a boneless pork shoulder, and then cut the picnic end of the pork shoulder from the pork butt, leaving you with two distinct cuts of meat. You can then use the picnic end of the shoulder in a sausage, for example, and the butt in your dry-cure charcuterie. You don't have to stab the meat before applying the dry rub, but for certain cuts of meat — larger cuts or cuts like pork belly, which are often covered with a lining of fat — stabbing the meat allows the salt and nitrite mix to penetrate deeper into the meat, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the cure. Dry-curing with salt will sap away the moisture from the meat and intensify the flavor of the meat, but it still won't eliminate the possibility of botulism spores germinating. To combat botulism, sodium nitrite is often used  in combination with salt as "curing salts," "Instacure #1," and "pink salts." Botulism is a dangerous illness characterized by paralysis and respiratory problems caused by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.  Consult manufacturer's instructions for how much curing salt to use alongside regular salt. Usually, a 10:90 ratio of pink salt to regular salt is called for. If you are particular about exactly what goes into your cured meat, it might be best to add the sodium nitrite on your own. (See next step.) Most casual curers, however, will find it easiest to use pre-mixed curing salts, where they won't have to fuss with the ratio of salt to sodium nitrite. Why are pink salts pink? Manufacturers of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите, какое мясо вы хотите использовать. При необходимости обрежьте излишки жира, сухожилий или мяса. Для больших кусков мяса желательно поколоть мясо зубчиками для лучшего впитывания соли. Решите, хотите ли вы использовать уже готовую смесь для засола или приготовить ее самостоятельно. Используйте соотношение 2:1000 нитрита натрия к соли, если делаете консервант самостоятельно. Смешайте ваши специи с солью. Вручную натрите весь мясной срез смесью из соли и специй. Охлаждайте мясо в холодильнике в течение 7-10 дней. По истечении 7-10 дней, достаньте мясо из холодильника и смойте всю соль/смесь специй. Заверните мясо (по желанию). Плотно заверните мясо в марлю.

Hammertoe, also known as a contracted toe, is a deformity of the second, third or fourth toe caused by a contraction at the most proximal joint, which results in a hammer-like appearance. Hammertoes are usually flexible in the initial stages but may become rigid if they are not treated appropriately. Hammertoes are caused by wearing shoes that are too small or too narrow, or by wearing high heels that put excessive pressure on the muscle groups of the toe.  Hammertoe can be fixed by surgery (cutting and stretching the contracted tendon, then placing a metal pin/wire next to the joint for support), or aggressive stretching regimens on a daily basis. Splints and supports can also be effective for alleviating hammertoe. Use your fingers to massage around the toe, then manually pull (stretch) the hammertoe, holding each stretch for several seconds. Continue this routine multiple times daily for weeks or until you see substantial improvement. Claw toe means that your toe becomes hooked in appearance due to contraction (flexion) of the proximal and distal joints, which forces the end of the toe to dig into the shoe's sole. Painful calluses or corns develop at the very end of the affected toe. Claw toes are caused by wearing shoes that are too small and also by some diseases (such as diabetes) or conditions (tendon contractions).  Claw toes can also be fixed by similar surgical methods used for hammertoe, which includes cutting and stretching the contracted tendons. Try walking on the tips of your toes, which will cause extension (and stretching) of the contracted tendons/joints. Mallet toe is similar to claw toe but involves abnormal positioning only at the most distal joint (at the end of the toe). Mallet toe is commonly caused by shoes that are too tight in the toe box or ones that possess high heels. The forces these shoes place on your feet cause unnatural bending of your toes.  Mallet toes can also be fixed by similar surgical methods used for hammertoes and claw toes — cutting and stretching the contracted...

Hamster cages should be cleaned out completely every week to 2-3 weeks, depending on your hamster and needs. They should also be "spot cleaned," by removing fresh foods and cleaning toilet areas, each day, depending on the size and type of cage. To clean the cage, take the top off and empty all the dirty bedding and wood shavings and old food into a dustbin. Scrape out all the other remains. Go over the cage with a pet-made disinfectant, then dry it with tissues or kitchen roll, if preferred.  Wash out bowls and water bottle (or bowl) at the same time as cleaning the cage. Dust and rinse all items of the cage. Dry everything and fill the cage with fresh wood shavings, bedding, food, and water. Put all the items back in the cage and clip the top back on. A clean cage makes your Syrian hamster happy and healthy. Try giving your hamster a "hamster toilet," which is a plastic litter pan with a hood that fits snugly into the corner of the cage. Use the special hamster litter which you can purchase from pet stores, and clean the toilet every other day. Hamsters generally catch on quickly as to what the hamster toilet area is for, since instinct tells them to use one corner for toileting, and the confines of the toilet help them to feel secure. Disinfect the cage properly and change the  bedding before putting your hamster back in. While you clean the cage, you can put your pet in a play pen have someone supervise it.  Hamster balls are terrible for hamsters. While some might look like they are enjoying it, they are probably stressed and trying to find a way to get out of it by running around. If a hamster gets thirsty or hungry it would also not be able to tell you, which could be very bad for your small pet. Put the hamster in a pen, supervised, so it cannot escape. Cleaning the cage too often can cause stress; this does not mean do not clean your cage, rather, just clean it every other week and remember spot cleaning is your best friend. Syrian hamsters are the most friendly and sociable of the hamster family....

TL;DR in Russian:

Содержите клетку хомячка в чистоте. На время чистки клетки отсаживайте из нее хомячка. Окружите хомячка любовью. Будьте осторожны, когда будите хомячка. При необходимости обращайтесь к ветеринару.


Hamsters are nocturnal animals, meaning they are active at night. Choose a time later in the day, such as after dinner, when he is most likely to be awake. If you notice he is just waking up, give him about 15 minutes to be awake before trying to hold him. If your dwarf hamster is sleeping, do not wake him up. If you do, he may be startled, think you are a threat, and try to bite you. Wait until he wakes up on his own. Before you handle your dwarf hamster, wash your hands to remove any food scents. If your hamster smells food on your hands, he will think your hands are food and nibble on them. Use unscented soap to wash your hands. Make a cup with your hands and slowly lower them into the cage. Speak to him as you lower your hands so he knows you are there and are not a threat. Do not make any sudden movements or loud noises as you place your hands in his cage—this could startle him.  If your dwarf hamster is not readily walking onto your hands, consider putting some tasty treats in your hands to lure him to you. If treats don’t work, try using a scoop or a large serving spoon. Hold the item on the cage floor and let him walk onto it (don’t scoop him up). After you lift him out of the cage, transfer him to your hands. When your dwarf hamster is nestled comfortably in your hands, slowly lift him up towards you. If you can, turn his body in your hands so he is facing you. Looking at you will help him feel less disoriented and scared about being lifted up.  When you have him out of the cage, let him crawl on you. Exploring you will help your dwarf hamster feel more comfortable with you. Be as still as you can while he climbs and crawls on you. Consider sitting or lying down so he can crawl on you more easily. Taming your dwarf hamster requires daily practice. Hold him a few times a day for 5 minutes each time. With daily practice, your dwarf hamster will become more tame and easier to handle. Consider holding him at the same time each day. That way, he knows when to expect you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбирайте правильное время для приручения хомячка. Вымойте руки. Опустите руки в клетку вашего карликового хомячка. Достаньте хомяка из клетки и дайте ему возможность изучить вас. Берите хомяка на руки ежедневно.


Hamsters are very active and need lots of things to exercise in their cages, getting a wheel is a good place to start. Dwarf hamsters need a 6.5 - 8 inch wheel and Chinese hamsters need an 8 inch wheel. Larger hamsters, including Syrian hamsters need a 12 inch wheel. It's very important to get a wheel that is big enough for your hamster. Flying saucers cannot replace a normal upright wheel, as it encourages an unnatural way of running. NEVER use barred or mesh wheels, as your hamster can trap a limb or get bumblefoot (painful sores on the feet). One way to tell if it is too small is to look to see if your hamster is running with an arched back, like a smiley face. If they are, then the wheel is likely too small. If you buy a bottle, buy a good one that doesn't leak too much. If you get a bowl, buy something like a small bendy log bridge to put over it so that your hamster doesn't bury it or get wood shavings in it, or you can place the bowl on a small shelf. Using a bowl enables you to keep a good track on how much they are eating, and can be cleaner and easier. However, using scatter feeding brings out the hamster's natural foraging skills. You can also do a mix of both. If you have a pair of dwarves, then scatter feeding is advisable as it can prevent fighting. If you have a Chinese hamster (note! Not dwarf hamsters. Despite what a pet shop may have told you, they're solitary like Syrians, even the males) or a Syrian hamster then it is advisable to get a food bowl so that you can check their eating habits. If you get a bowl, buy a small one so it doesn't take up too much cage space. Most houses are suitable for dwarf hamsters and Chinese hamsters, but many are much too small for a Syrian hamster. Bendy bridges can be turned into lovely cave-style houses if you bury them under the substrate! Some hamsters make nests, but they need somewhere to hide and store food anyway. Hamsters are very energetic and need lots of toys. Make sure to get chews as their teeth never stop growing! Hamsters love toys that they...

TL;DR in Russian:

Hamsters are very hardy animals and can recovery quickly from injury. If you see that he has only minor cuts and scrapes, consider letting him tend to them on his own. Many times, hamsters will lick and clean the wounds, which will heal them.  The wounds from minor cuts and scrapes can become infected if your hamster doesn’t tend to them and clean them. An infected wound can turn into an abscess, which is a pocket of infection. Abscesses are serious and must be treated by a veterinarian. They will also require at-home care, such as wound cleaning and antibiotics. Another option is for you to treat the minor injuries. Before getting to the wounds, wrap your hamster in a small, clean towel to restrain him. Hamsters can become very nippy when they are injured, so you should protect yourself from getting bitten.  Wrap him up in such a way that you can still get to his wounds. Other than cuts and scrapes, your hamster may have skin sores as a result of injury. These are open wounds that look inflamed and might be bleeding.  If there is not a lot of blood, you can treat the sores at home. Your hamster may not be able to clean open sores on his own, so you should do this for him. With your syringe, draw up some sterile saline. Gently squirt the saline around the wound and pat the wound dry with a piece or two of the gauze. Do this a few times to make sure the wound is clean and free of debris. Cleaning it yourself can prevent abscess formation, since you will be able to clearly see how well you’ve cleaned it. When the wound is dry, use another syringe to draw up a small amount of Betadine. Dispense this onto the wound and pat it dry with some more gauze. Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to the wound with a Q-tip.  Disinfecting the wound will help kill microorganisms that could cause infection. Betadine can stain your skin, so you may want to wear gloves when you use it. No matter the injury, it is important that your hamster rest and recover comfortably in his cage. Place his food and water bowls near his...

TL;DR in Russian:

Hamsters are very sensitive to the heat and can overheat easily.Keep an eye out for these symptoms of heatstroke:  Panting Bright red tongue Slobbering Depression Weakness Lack of movement Convulsions Walk through your home and try and find where it is the coolest. Try and move your hamster’s cage there.  Place the cage in a lower part of the house. Heat rises, so the coolest part of your house might be in a basement. Another cool place is a bathroom or kitchen. Tile can be cool and provide a comfortable place for your hamster. You do not want to use a fan directly on your hamster as it can add stress to your hamster or make it too cool. Instead, make sure the room where the cage is located is well ventilated and has a good fan. This will help circulate the air and keep the room cool. Do not put your hamster’s cage in direct sunlight. On hot days, make sure the cage is out of reach of the sunlight filtering through the windows. This can easily cause heatstroke in a hamster and other small animals. Avoid other heat sources like fireplaces, stoves, and heaters. Make sure your hamster has ventilation in his cage. Experts prefer wire cages for this reason, as opposed to aquariums. If your hamster is kept in an aquarium, it is especially important for it to be placed in a well ventilated room! An easy way to keep your hamster cool is to provide cool water. Hamsters can become dehydrated quickly, and it is important to always supply a source of fresh, clean water. Hamsters do not have the ability to sweat, so they are in danger of becoming dehydrated more quickly than mammals. It is important to limit playing with your hamster in hot weather to avoid overheating. If you want to handle your hamster, try in the early mornings or at night when the temperature is cooler. Never leave a hamster, or any animal, in a vehicle during warm weather! The inside of a car can reach deadly temperatures. If you are taking your hamster to the vet or traveling with him, take care to keep your hamster safe from dangerous temperatures.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обращайте внимание на признаки перегрева питомца. Переставьте клетку хомячка в более прохладное место дома. Используйте вентилятор. Избегайте прямого солнечного света. Обеспечьте хорошую вентиляцию в клетке. Обеспечьте хомячка прохладной водой. Ограничьте игры с питомцем. Никогда не бросайте хомячка в раскаленном автомобиле.


Hamsters can get easily injured because their bodies and bones are so small. Fortunately, not all injuries are serious enough to require treatment by a veterinarian. Take a quick look at your hamster to see if his injuries look minor (e.g, small cuts and scrapes) or major (e.g., broken limbs, lots of bleeding).  Minor injuries are typically treatable at home, but major injures require immediate  veterinary care.  If your hamster has major injuries, he will have other symptoms, including labored and raspy breathing, excessive squeals, and aggression when handled. Be mindful that hamsters can be good at hiding just how much pain they’re in. If your hamster’s injuries are major, call your veterinarian immediately to let him or know you will be arriving soon with an emergency case. Be aware that not all small animal veterinarians treat pocket pets (e.g., hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). If your veterinarian is not able to treat your hamster, ask if he or she can refer you to a veterinarian who can. By calling, your veterinarian can advise you on what first aid you can give your hamster before you get to the veterinarian’s office. If you have determined that your hamster’s injuries are minor, begin preparing to treat him at home. You will need a number of supplies, including clean towels, Q-tips, several 10cc syringes (without the needles), and some sterile 2 x 2 gauze. In addition, you will need a bottle of sterile saline, a disinfectant solution (Betadine) and an antibiotic ointment.  You can find treatment supplies at your local pharmacy. Your veterinarian can advise you on the specific type of antibiotic ointment you should use. Betadine is also known as povidone iodine. Hydrogen peroxide has commonly been used as a disinfectant, but it may not be as beneficial as previously thought. The bubbling seen with hydrogen peroxide can damage cells, so using it may do more harm than good.

Hamsters love to run and climb, so the bigger the cage that you can provide for them, the happier they’ll be. A 20 US gal (76 L) aquarium is typically a good size for a hamster cage, since at a minimum all sized hamsters need at least 450 square inches of flat land to run around on. A wheel can't be used as a shortcut for that, make sure it has a secure mesh top so your hamster can’t escape.  If you’re going to have more than 1 hamster, add about 1 sq ft (0.093 m2) per each new member of the cage. Hamsters like a lot of floor space, so a cage with an open floor is better than a modular cage with a lot of tubes. If cages are too pricey, use a clear tote storage bin. Cut an area for ventilation out at the top, then attach wire mesh onto the hole to ensure maximum ventilation. Some wire hamster cages are made with the bars too far apart to keep a dwarf hamster. Even if your hamster can’t get all the way out, it could squeeze its way between the bars enough to get stuck. A cage with smooth sides will prevent that from happening. Also, make sure you never use a cage with a wire floor, as your hamster’s delicate legs and feet could be injured.  Make sure you spot clean the plastic or glass cage daily to remove soiled bedding. The ventilation of the cage isn't very good, so ammonia levels from the hamster's urine can build up quickly. Scoop soiled bedding and replace it with fresh bedding. Wire cages are still very popular for hamsters, and many cages are made with plastic sides with a wire insert at the top. If you do choose a cage with wire bars, make sure they're no more than about 2⁄10 in (0.51 cm) apart. If you choose a cage that’s solid plastic, place a wire climbing frame against one of the walls. Being able to climb is an important part of your hamster’s daily exercise. Your Winter White dwarf hamster will feel safest in a spot where there isn’t a lot of noise, so don’t place it near noisy appliances, the TV, or anywhere with a lot of traffic throughout the day. Also, hamsters are sensitive to heat, so keep...

Hand cleaning is great for spot treating scuff marks and dirt, but it’s also an effective way of deep cleaning leather. Although if your item is expensive or made of hard leather, a professional cleaner might be the safest cleaning method. Pour a small amount of castile soap into a bowl of distilled water. Agitate the solution with your hand or a whisk to distribute the soap and create bubbles.  For even better leather protection, use a soap specially formulated for cleaning leather. These kinds of soaps are available at many general retailers, hardware stores, and craft stores. If you don’t have castile soap or a specialty leather cleaner, you can use a mild soap, like dish soap, as a substitute.  Always test your cleaning solution on an out of sight spot on the leather before using it to clean more visible parts. A normal dishcloth will do if you don’t have better options, but a microfiber cloth will work best. Avoid using any kind of abrasive material, like a scrubbing pad, as these may scratch leather, creating cloudiness in its finish. Generally speaking, harsh cleaners should be avoided when cleaning leather. These can cause a negative reaction the deforms the leather’s surface. Follow the grain of the leather with your cloth as you wipe. In areas where there is caked-on dirt or a tough-to-remove spot, rub using a light, circular motion to remove the debris. Avoid completely saturating the leather with water as you clean, which can damage the leather. You may want to allow the leather to dry a bit if it becomes too wet while cleaning. You should be especially careful to remove all soap when you're done, as it can dry the leather out and cause it to crack. Take a fresh lint-free rag and dampen it with clean water. Wipe all cleaned leather surfaces thoroughly. Arrange the item as it would rest normally on a hanger or suitable surface (like a chair or drying rack) until it air dries completely. Avoid exposing leather items to direct sunlight, as this can dry out the fabric and cause it to crack. This last...

Hand cramps are often caused by overuse. Give your hand time to heal by avoiding activities that require a lot of hand movements or that require you to grip something. For sudden cramps, this may only be a few minutes. If you have more severe cramps, you should go a day or 2 with minimal use of your hand.  You may also need to rest your forearm. If your symptoms don’t improve, you should see a healthcare provider. If overuse is causing your hand cramps, you’re likely doing a repetitive activity. Stopping this activity, even for a short period of time, can help relieve the cramps. Activities that may cause hand cramps include the following:  Writing Typing Playing an instrument Gardening Tennis Gripping an object, such as a tool or smartphone Bending your wrist too far Stretching out your fingers Elevating your elbow for a long period of time Hold your hand flat with your fingers touching. Use your other hand to gently press your hand back by pressing against the palms of your finger.  Alternatively, place your hand against a flat surface. Press down gently, spreading your fingers flat against the surface. Hold for 30-60 seconds, then release.  You can also stretch your hand by balling your hand into a fist. After 30-60 seconds, open your hand and stretch out your fingers. Gently rub your hand using small, circular motions. Pay special attention to areas that are tight or especially sore. You may want to apply massage oil to your hand. Both heat and cold can help relieve your pain. Heat is better for soothing the cramp and loosening up any tightness in the muscles, while cold will relieve swelling. Place a piece of fabric between your skin and the compress for protection. This is more likely to be the cause if you’ve been exercising, work in the heat, or are taking a medication that acts as a diuretic. Make sure that you are drinking whenever you feel thirsty, to not get dehydrated. Since an electrolyte imbalance may cause hand cramps, you may want to drink a sports drink instead. Hand cramps occur when you...

Hand grenades come in a huge variety of forms. Some are made for inflicting casualties on the enemy, others for merely stunning or subduing them non-lethally, and still others for inflicting damage on non-human targets. It's extremely important to be aware of the type of grenade you're throwing (and how it's used) before you throw it — if you use the wrong grenade, the results can be disastrous. Below are a few of the most common grenade types:  Fragmentation grenades: Produces many small pieces of shrapnel upon detonation. Usually considered lethal to non-armored targets at close ranges with rapidly decreasing effectiveness at longer ranges. Shrapnel can penetrate soft barriers like wood, plaster, and tin, but not usually cinder blocks, sandbags, and armor. Concussion grenades: Creates an explosion with extreme concussive force. This concussive effect is amplified in enclosed environments, making it useful in urban areas and bunkers, fortified enclosures, and so on. Can also be used  for improvised demolition. Incendiary grenades: Produces extremely high-temperature flames. Can set fire to flammable structures, destroy equipment and weapons, and even penetrate armored vehicles in certain situations. Smoke grenades: Produces either white or colored smoke. Usually used to conceal infantry or light vehicle movement or to make positions visible to friendly forces. Stun grenades: Sometimes called "flashbangs", these produce a deafening bang and a bright flash, momentarily disorienting targets in the room. Riot control grenades: Usually loaded with teargas, rubber pellets, or other nonlethal deterrents, these grenades are meant to disperse and subdue crowds without causing mortal injuries. Grenades can easily cause friendly fire casualties if they detonate too close to you or friendly forces, so it's extremely important to know what ranges are considered "safe" and which are not. Even if you're well outside of your grenade's lethal range, you'll want to take cover before it detonates. Though rare, it's possible...

Hand hygiene is important for protecting yourself from germs and bacteria that collect on your hands throughout the day. Hold your hands under warm, running water and lather hand soap between them for 20 seconds to get them clean. Then, rinse your hands thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean, dry towel. This will help you to stay clean and fresh. Wash your body thoroughly with soap or a body wash. Pay more attention to your armpits, vagina, and under your breasts. Allow the water to run over these areas a little longer than others to ensure that they are clean. Then, dry yourself off with a clean, dry towel.  You can also shave your legs and underarms while you’re in the shower or bath if you want to remove excess body hair. However, this is totally optional! If you don’t want to shave, then don’t worry about it. Apply lotion to your body after you shower if your skin seems dry. How often you need to shampoo your hair will depend on whether or not it is oily. If your scalp produces a lot of oil, then you may need to wash it every day. However, if you have a normal or dry scalp, then you can wash your hair once every other day or possibly even every 3 days. Focus on washing your scalp when you shampoo your hair and then apply conditioner to the ends of your hair to moisturize it.  If you have dandruff, use a dandruff-fighting shampoo. Avoid heat styling tools. If you do use them, apply a heat protector product to your hair first. at least 2 times daily. Wash your face after you wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night. Use a gentle skin cleanser and warm water to wash your face. You can use your fingertips to apply the skin cleanser or use a soft washcloth. Work the cleanser into wet skin and then splash your face with water 3 or more times to rinse away the soap. Pat your skin dry and apply moisturizer to your face and neck. If you have acne, choose an acne-fighting skin cleanser to wash your face. Then follow it up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer, which won’t clog your pores and is less...

Hand planes come in several different varieties. The main defining characteristic of each type of hand plane is size. The longer the body of a plane, the more accurately it will straighten wood, as the length of the body allows the plane to bridge peaks and troughs in the wood's surface. Shorter planes, however, are often easier to control for precise detail work. Below are a few of the most common types of hand plane you'll encounter, listed from longest to shortest:  A jointer plane typically has a body length of 22 inches (56 cm) or longer. These long hand planes are useful for trimming or straightening long pieces of wood, like boards or doors. A jack plane is slightly shorter than a jointer plane, with a length from 12 to 17 inches (30 to 43 cm). It is more versatile than the jointer plane because of its shorter length and thus can be used to square both long boards and shorter pieces of rough lumber. A smoothing plane is about 10 inches (25 cm) long and is the most versatile of all hand planes. It can be used for general smoothing and straightening of all projects. A block plane is the smallest type of plane. This type of plane is too short to effectively straighten long boards, but is ideal for shaving very thin pieces from a surface or working in a tight corner. The blade (also called the iron) of the plane needs to be razor sharp before use - even new planes should be sharpened. To sharpen the blade, first place a piece of 220-grit wet/dry sandpaper on a flat surface. Hold the blade at a 25 or 30 degree angle so that the bevel is flat against the sandpaper. Maintaining this angle, rub the blade around the sandpaper in a circle while applying downward pressure. When a burr (an accumulation of metal shavings) forms along its back, the blade is ready to use. Remove the burr by wiping the back of the blade flat across the sandpaper. When it comes to planing wood, the angle of the blade dictates how "thick" the shavings you'll take from the surface of the wood will be. If the blade angle is too deep, you...

Hand taming is a common way of taming birds. However, due to his skittish nature, your bird may be very wary of your hand. Moreover, birds who come from pet stores may associate hands with grabbing and chasing, making them even more wary of human handling.  Place your hand where he can easily see it. To reduce his anxiety, talk to him in a soothing voice while you hold your hand still. Hold your hand near his cage for 10 to 15 minutes (or as long as you can hold your hand up), two to three times a day, for four to seven days. You may want to place your hand gently on the outside of his cage. Getting your bird to be comfortable with your hand will take time and patience. When your bird no longer seems flustered by your hand’s presence outside of his cage, acclimate him to your hand when it is inside of his cage. It is very important that you place your hand in his cage  slowly  and without sudden movements. You should also avoid making eye contact with your bird when you put your hand inside his cage—direct eye contact may appear threatening to him.  At this stage, do not attempt to touch your bird when you have your hand in his cage. Practically speaking, you will need to place your hand inside your bird’s cage each morning when you change his food and water. By making a routine out of slowly reaching into his cage each morning, your bird should become increasingly more comfortable with your hand.  It may take your bird anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to feel comfortable with your hand inside his cage.  Continue talking to your bird in a soothing tone when your hand is inside his cage. If your bird is still not comfortable with your hand inside his cage, you may need to move things along by holding a treat in your hand. Millet spray is a very popular treat for birds. Dark and leafy greens, such as spinach, are another good treat to use.  Whichever treat you use, make sure that it is one your bird is already familiar with and enjoys eating.  Hold the treat in your hand and hold your hand still....

Hand-basting is a technique of using long, loose stitches to hold fabric together and make sewing easier. Since silk is so slippery, it can be helpful to hand-baste the pieces with a stitch that looks like a dotted line. Read “How to Baste Fabric” for more information. If your silk fabric is slipping too much while sewing, try layering a piece of tissue paper underneath your sewing area. The needle will sew through both layers, sewing them together. When you’re done sewing the piece, you can just tear away the tissue paper. You can also use a spray-on fabric stabilizer, which will stiffen the fabric somewhat and make it easier to manage while you cut it. This is available at fabric stores and online. Check how your sewing machine settings will respond to the silk by test sewing on a scrap piece of silk. Make adjustments to the tension and gauge of your thread before you move on to sewing your project. Aim for 8-12 stitches per inch, although this might vary depending on your project. As you set the fabric in place at your sewing machine, pull the top thread and bobbin thread back away from you. This will ensure that it won’t get accidentally wrapped up in the machine foot, which could cause holes or pulls in the fabric as you sew it. Rotate the hand wheel to bring the needle down into the fabric. This will ensure that the sewing machine will start very slowly and the fabric won’t pucker or catch on the foot. Gently flatten the fabric so that it feeds straight into the machine. Don’t pull it taut, however, as this can cause puckers in the final sewing project. Start out your stitching with a few stitches and then secure them by backstitching along them. This will ensure that the stitches won’t come out. Do so very carefully, so that you don’t accidentally allow the silk fabric to creep or bunch up at the beginning. Silk has a tendency to bunch and gather, so go slowly when you’re sewing this fabric. Try a steady pace to ensure that the stitches are even and consistent. Slow down or pause to make sure the...

Hand-reared kittens missed the roughhousing associated with litter life and did not necessarily learn how to moderate their play attacks. These cats often grow into adults who seem to lash out viciously for no reason. Hand-reared cats that are aggressive usually give subtle signs for humans to back off. Learning these cues can prevent biting and scratching. A cat that is stressed and has no escape route is likely to lash out. Stress can come from being cornered by a noisy toddler, change in environment, or new people, so obviously it is important to be aware of your cat's emotional needs and reactions. Avoid labeling the cat as aggressive; it may simply be responding to stress. The best response is to restore calm and a settled atmosphere. Turn down noisy TVs, ask children to be quieter around the cat, and if anyone is upset, ask them to cry or shout out of the cat's hearing. If you encourage the cat to attack moving hands, feet, or fingers when playing, don't be surprised if the cat later attacks a foot, even though the game is over. The cat may assume it's still play time. A cat that is in pain or is ill can become defensive making it more likely to attack. Cats showing signs of sickness (losing weight, thirstier, vomiting) or pain (short-tempered, yowling, scratching, biting) should be checked out by a vet. It could be their bad behavior will improve once the underlying health issue is corrected. An older frailer cat that may resent being picked up or cuddled and might bite or scratch to get some peace. Ask family members to be mindful of the cat's age and need for gentler handling. Giving the cat plenty of space should help any behavior issues.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, не была ли ваша кошка выкормленным вручную котенком. Подумайте, не находится ли кошка под влиянием стресса или тревоги. Подумайте о том, что, возможно, кошка просто чрезмерно разыгралась. Проверьте, не заболела ли кошка, и не испытывает ли она боли.


Hand-wash the fabric if possible so that you have more control. Fabric glue is synthetic, so it shouldn't run off when you wash it, although the hairspray method is unlikely to last. In general, hand-washing will be gentler on the glue, the glitter, and the fabric. Wash carefully and do not knead the fabric too heavily. Avoid washing in the washing machine. Use cool or lukewarm water. Hot water can loosen the glue. Hang it up on a clothesline or lay it out on a flat surface. A tumble-dry washing machine might tumble the glitter away, as the garment rubs up against other clothing. Furthermore, the intense heat of many quick-drying techniques (tumble-dryers, blow-dryers) may loosen the fabric glue and lead glitter to flake. Try to avoid creating friction that might rub the glitter off; try not to rub too hard and scratch on the glitter. Try not to wear it too often; keep it for special occasions, like a costume. The more often you wear your glittery garment, the more often you will need to wash it – and the more likely you will be to brush up against something! Consider buying a little jar of glitter to repair the outfit as needed. You may also need extra fabric glue.  Find these things at any arts-and-crafts store.

HandBrake is a free program for Windows and Mac computers that can be used to rip an MP4 file from a DVD:  Go to https://handbrake.fr/ in your computer's web browser. Click Download HandBrake. Double-click the downloaded setup file. Follow the on-screen instructions. The DVD should go logo-side-up.  You can ensure that your computer has a DVD drive (not just a CD drive) by looking for the "DVD" logo on the drive tray. If you don't have a DVD drive, you may not be able to rip your DVD. If your computer doesn't have a DVD drive, you'll need to buy an external one and plug it into one of your computer's USB ports. Its app icon resembles a pineapple next to a fruity drink. It's a disc-shaped icon with your DVD's name in the upper-left side of HandBrake. If you don't see the DVD icon, close and then re-open HandBrake. HandBrake will typically default to an MP4 conversion, but you should double-check the following aspects before continuing:   File format — Make sure the "Container" box has "MP4" in it. If it doesn't, click the box, then click MP4.  File resolution — Click Presets, then click a quality (e.g., 1080p) on the right side of the window. It's to the right of the "Save As" text box. A pop-up window will appear. Select a save location, enter a file name in the "File name" (Windows) or "Name" (Mac) text box, and click Save. It's a green button at the top of the HandBrake window. Clicking it will prompt HandBrake to begin converting your DVD into an MP4 file. Once the MP4 has successfully been ripped, you can proceed.  On Mac, you'll just click Start here. DVDs can take anywhere from half an hour to several hours to rip into an MP4 file, so make sure your computer is charged and/or plugged in and well-ventilated.

Handbrake is a free program that will allow you to re-encode your video files so that they are lower resolution and smaller file sizes.  You'll see this at the bottom of your browser after it downloads. You can also find it in your Downloads folder.     You can find this in the upper-left corner of the Handbrake window.       This will lower the resolution of your video, which can drastically lower the file size. For example, changing the value from 1920 to 1280 will change the video from 1080p to 720p, resulting in a much smaller file. Resolution changes are more noticeable on larger screens. Other values you could enter to change the size and maintain the aspect ratio are 1024, 1152, 1366, 1600, and 1920. Note that these are common resolutions for widescreen videos. If your videos are a different aspect ratio, such as a vertical cellphone video, you'll want to use different values.  Increasing the value will lower the quality, which will result in a smaller file size. 20 is considered DVD quality. If you're going to be playing the video on a small screen, you can probably go as high as 30. For larger screens, stick to 22-25. The slower you set this slider, the smaller your final file size will be. Set this to as slow as you can handle. You'll see this at the top of the window.     The encoding process will begin. The time this takes will vary greatly depending on the size of the video, your encoding settings, and your computer's processing power. You'll find the new video file in the location you set for it earlier. Play it to test the quality and ensure that the encoding went smoothly. You should notice a large change in the file size.

Handbrake is a free, open-source video encoding program that will allow you to rip your DVD discs onto your computer and then convert them into an iPad compatible format (with a few tweaks). It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can download it from handbrake.fr. Most DVDs are encrypted to prevent copying. The libdvdcss file will enable Handbrake to bypass this restriction when copying the DVD to your computer. You can download it from download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.12/. Make sure to select the correct version for your operating system. Once you've downloaded the libdvdcss file, you will need to place it in the Handbrake folder.  Windows - Copy the libdvdcss-2 file to C:\Program Files\Handbrake, or to the location that you chose to install Handbrake to. Mac OS X - Run the libdvdcss.pkg file to automatically install the file into the correct location. You can only legally rip movies that you own, and even that is a gray area, but you shouldn't get in trouble as long as you don't distribute the files. Don't worry about all of the complicated options, you will be using presets to quickly convert to the proper format. Handbrake will begin scanning the DVD that's inserted in your computer. If your DVD contains both the wide-screen and the full-screen version of the movie, you can select the appropriate one from the "Title" drop-down menu. The "Size" section of the Picture tab will help you determine which is which. Click the Browse button next to the "Destination" field to select where you want to save the movie file. This will automatically convert the ripped movie into an iPad-compatible format. If you don't see the list of presets, click the "Toggle Presets" button. This will likely take a while, as the movie needs to be copied to your computer and then converted into a format that the iPad can read. You can monitor the progress at the bottom of the Handbrake window. Once the file has finished converting, you can add it to your iTunes library so that you can sync it with your iPad. Click the...

Handle rare or unidentified silver coins as little as possible. Hold them by the edge only, not the face, and ideally wear lint-free cotton gloves. Even if the coin looks dirty or damaged to you, a collector may pay more if you leave it in its natural state and avoid further damage. Store rare coins in Mylar plastic coin flips, or ask a coin dealer for alternatives. PVC coin flips can damage your coins. Add a few drops of mild soap (not detergent) to a glass of warm distilled water. Put the coins in gently and leave them to soak, turning them over every few hours. This is the only guaranteed safe way to clean silver-plated coins (though pure silver is a little hardier).  Tap water contains chlorine that can lead to discoloration. Tarnish (a thin layer of grey, black, or iridescence also called "toning") is not the same as dirt. If the coin is rare, toning may even be a desirable feature that raises the coin's value. The next day, if the coins are still grimy, replace the water with fresh distilled water and soap. Repeat daily until the coins are clean (but still have their toning). Pat the coins dry with a paper towel, or leave them on an absorbent cloth to air dry. Rubbing the coins is very risky, since it can scratch through the toning. Careful brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush is usually safe, but work slowly and gently with valuable coins. The goal is to dislodge loose dirt, not to brush the coin's surface directly. If the coins are still dirty, soak them in distilled water again. Transfer the wet coins to a plastic container in the freezer. The water will expand as it freezes, hopefully breaking off some of the dirt from underneath. Gently pat or brush off dirt once frozen. In most cases, you will need to repeat the soaking and freezing several times. If the coins are covered in mud or dirt and do not respond to the methods above, soak them in mineral oil or olive oil. Mineral oil should never harm your coin, but must be washed off with acetone afterward. Olive oil will also work, but there is a...
