If your friends insist on an explanation as to why you’re leaving the group, be honest no matter what your reasons are.  Do not, for instance, tell your friends that you are moving out of state just to avoid them or leave the group.  Instead, be open and honest about why you want or need to leave the group of friends. If it’s easier for you to express yourself in writing, there’s nothing wrong with sending an email or letter to a group of friends (or the ringleader of a group of friends) explaining your grievances. Sometimes the truth hurts.  Try to find a way to be honest and respectful at the same time.  For instance, if you’re leaving a group of friends because they no longer share your interests or if you find that they are very boring, try a diplomatic approach by explaining to them that, “I just have a hard time relating to you.”  Don’t rub the fact that you’re leaving the group in their faces.  Emphasize your own feelings and point of view, and avoid accusatory “you” statements like, “You are very boring.” Lies will only lead to more lies.  It’s best to be honest about your reasons for leaving a group. Sometimes vague answers work best, since they can be both honest and respectful.  For instance, “I’m busy,” or “I’ve been traveling,” may work as explanations for friends who want to know why you aren’t spending as much time with them. Friends — especially friends of long standing — will often try to pull you back into the group.  Be firm in your decision to leave the group.  Don’t give in to group pressure or bullying.  For instance, if someone tries to get you to remain in the group of friends, say, “I’m sorry, I am very busy.” Or “We've had some great times but I need some time apart from the group right now.” Be calm and graceful when declining invitations to hang out with the group of friends you wish to leave (or have already left).

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте искренни Уважайте чувства друзей. Стойте на своем.


If your friends know that you have feelings for a certain girl, its possible that they will tell their friends, then their friends will tell their friends and so on.  At some point, this knowledge will reach the very ears it was never meant to -- those of the girl you like. Write down all the thoughts and ideas you have about the girl you like in the diary.  Write down the things you’d like to say to her but aren’t ready to yet. Do not express your feelings on social media like Twitter or Facebook.  Even if you’re vague, it’s possible that someone could piece together what and who you’re talking about, and your cover would be blown. The more you focus elsewhere, the less you’ll be focused on her.  Your new hobbies will give you a needed distraction, and help you hide your feelings.   Find something that you enjoy and that engages your attention and energy in positive ways. Developing a skill will help you build confidence.  If you feel uncomfortable revealing your feelings to a girl you like because you doubt your ability to woo her, gaining confidence by learning new abilities can potentially solve your problem. If you’re not around her, there’s no way to reveal your feelings.  You’ll never be faced with a situation in which you inadvertently admit to your affection for her, or in which you just become so frustrated by not admitting how you feel that you spill the beans.  Further, you'll never have nosy friends picking up on your potentially unusual behavior when you're in the presence of your crush.  Spend time with family and friends instead of her. Avoidance includes online interaction and texting.  Do not browse her social media profiles or text her as an alternative to spending time with/around her.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не говорите никому о своих чувствах. Ведите дневник. Найдите новое увлечение вроде рисования, игры на музыкальном инструменте или катания на скейте. Не проводите с ней время.


If your friends spend time around the guy in question, see if they'll help you figure out how he really friends. For instance, you could ask them to bring you up when you're not around, and see if he has anything to say.  For example, your friend might say, "I think Jamie looks really nice today. Sam, what do you think?" If he jumps on the chance to talk about you, he probably has a crush. If he rolls his eyes or says anything unkind, he probably doesn't. If you really want to know what he's thinking but you haven't quite worked up the courage to ask, try asking his closest friends. Of course, they're probably going to tell him as soon as they talk to him, but it can give you a little insight. You might try saying, "Hey, Stephen, I was wondering if Chris likes me. We hang out a lot, but I'm too shy to ask him." Chances are, if you ask a guy up-front about his feelings, he'll probably tell you. However, try to do it when it's just the two of you, because if he feels put on the spot in front of other people, he might feel too embarrassed to answer. If you're hanging out with a group of people, you might say something like, "Hey Damon, will you walk with me to get a drink?" When you're out of earshot, you could say, "Lately I've been wondering where we stand. Do you like me as more than a friend?" If you're ready to find out for sure what the guy is feeling but you don't want to just come out and ask him directly, find a time when the two of you are alone, and let him know how you feel about him. If you tell him that you like him, he'll probably tell you whether he feels the same or not.  If you'd rather keep things platonic, you might say, "Hey Josh, I just wanted to tell you... We've been hanging out a lot, and you're a really great friend. But, some of my friends think I have a crush on you, and I don't see you that way. I just wanted to let you know." If you like him, try saying something like, "So, I'm not sure exactly how you feel, but I like you a lot, and not just as a friend." Sometimes talking to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Спросите друзей, как парень отзывается о вас, когда вас нет рядом. Поговорите с друзьями парня, если вы не готовы задать ему прямой вопрос. Прямо спросите парня, чтобы получить определенный ответ. Признайтесь в своих чувствах. Напишите записку или сообщение, если вы стесняетесь.


If your fungus doesn’t go away within a couple of weeks, or if it is causing discomfort, it’s time to call your doctor. Start by calling your general practitioner. If they don’t think they can help you, they will immediately refer you to a podiatrist or other specialist. See a doctor right away if you have diabetes and develop a fungus. Complications can arise. Your doctor might simply look at your nails and touch them to get a sense of what is going on. They might also take some clippings or your nails, or scrape some tissue from under your nail. Don’t worry, this won’t hurt.  Your doctor might send the clippings or scrapings to a lab to confirm your diagnosis and find out what kind of fungus you are dealing with. Ask questions about what might be causing the condition, how it could impact your overall health, and if there are any alternative treatments. If OTC treatments haven’t worked, your doctor will likely recommend trying a prescription medication. There are several varieties, including:  Oral antifungal drugs, like terbinafine and itraconazole. These are most common because they are most effective. Typically, you will take a pill for 12 weeks to clear up toenail fungus. For example, you could take itraconazole continuously or pulse cycle therapy over the course of 12 weeks. Ask your doctor about common side effects. Medicated nail polish, such as ciclopirox (Penlac) is less effective than oral medication, but it may work for a mild to moderate infection. Your doctor might suggest this if oral medication is not right for you. You’ll typically paint your nail with the polish for 7 days, building up layers. Then, you’ll file off the layers after 7 days of applying them and start over again. This treatment lasts 48 weeks, but you will avoid the systemic side effects that would come along with taking an oral medication. Medicated nail cream. This is simple to use and is most effective if you soak your nails first. Follow all of the directions your doctor gives you, and use for as long as they suggest. If...

If your games start taking a long time to load, or they become stutter or crash, it may be indicative of a looming hardware failure. If your system locks up, even when not playing games, this is a sign of hardware failing. There are 5 different light codes displayed around the Power button on the Xbox 360. Each of the codes represents a different failure state.  Green lights. Green lights indicate that the console is powered and operating correctly. The number of green lights indicates how many controllers are connected. One red light. This is the Hardware Failure indicator. It is usually accompanied by an “E74” or similar code displayed on the TV. This is caused by the video scalar chip being damaged. Two red lights. This is an overheating error. If the console becomes too hot, the system will shut down and display this light code. The fans will continue running until the components have been cooled. Three red lights. This is the General Hardware Failure, also known as the Red Ring of Death. This indicates that one or more components have failed, and that the system is no longer operable unless you turn off your console for 24 hours.  No error code will be displayed on the TV. Four red lights. This indicates that the AV cable is not correctly plugged in. Check the connection from the console to the TV. This code will not display for HDMI connections.

TL;DR in Russian:

Заметьте низкую производительность игры. Заметьте низкую производительность системы. Различайте цветовые коды.


If your goal is to get your waterworks started, you may have to go over the top in your imagining. Usually, there is at least one thing, like mistreated animals or impoverished children, that you can’t help getting sad over. Use these to water up! Some other ideas that might get you teary-eyed include:  War Starvation Disease Death Try to assume the position you were in at a time when you were teary-eyed for some reason. Then, as closely as you are able, mimic the motions, rate of breathing, and noises you made at that time. Though this might seem a little awkward, with practice your body’s muscle memory can be trained to activate your tear glands to water your eyes. You don’t have to be an actor to make use of actor’s tricks. By identifying with a character, either an imaginary one or a live-action one you’ve seen on TV, you can make yourself misty eyed. Try to choose a character whose situation you can relate to. Relatable characters will make it easier for you to slip into their mindset, and from there, get the watering response going. Some phrases may have the ability to really upset you. Professional actors and acting teachers refer to this as a “power phrase” due to the fact that it can be used to give you power over your emotions. Simply repeat the phrase to yourself until you feel your eyes begin to moisten. Some examples of power phrases include:  ”I’m not good enough.” ”No one will ever love me.” ”I can’t do anything right.” ”Why does everybody leave me?” Music can evoke a powerful emotion response inside of you, both in negative and positive ways. Think of a song that you find particularly depressing, and loop it in your head. You may also want to think about things you find sad or depressing as the music plays in your head.  To help yourself get into the mood to cue your eye watering, you might want to bring some headphones and a music player so you can listen to the sad song before you need your eyes to water. When it’s time to water up, take off the headphones and continue playing the song in...

TL;DR in Russian:

Представьте себе что-нибудь грустное. Используйте мышечную память, чтобы заставить свои глаза слезиться. Представьте себя на месте плачущего человека. Подберите действенную фразу. Припомните печальную музыку.


If your goal is to let a guy know that you're interested, all of your charms should be focused squarely on him. Splitting your attention up between multiple guys may create the impression that you’re naturally outgoing or not looking for anything serious, which could in turn cool things off between you and your potential beau. You should still make an effort to be friendly with the other guys you talk to, but watch your body language to keep from sending mixed signals. Pick out items that flatter your figure and make you look and feel like a million bucks. If possible, plan your outfit ahead of time when you know there’s a chance that you’ll run into the guy you’ve had your eye on. And, of course, make sure it's suitable for the occasion.  Focus on one part of your body to emphasize. If your favorite pair of jeans makes your legs look great, choose a shirt, shoes, and other accessories that won’t be a distraction.  There’s a difference between put-together and provocative. Wearing clothes that are too tight or revealing can make you look desperate for attention, which could be offputting to the guy if you arrange to run into him unexpectedly. Every now and then, fly solo to the bar, café, gym, or library where your interest hangs out. You’ll be more approachable alone than you would be in a group. If he still doesn’t know you that well, he may find it difficult to approach you when you’re surrounded by fifteen of your best friends.  Encountering your interest unaccompanied will give the two of you a chance to chat in a more intimate one-on-one environment. You don’t necessarily need to be completely solitary, but opting for a small entourage over a big one will make talking to you less intimidating. If you run into your interest at a party, crowded night spot, or boisterous social event, break away from all the excitement going on around you and retire to somewhere more private. You’ll be able to enjoy some quality time alone, and you won’t have to shout in order to hear each other. Outdoor environments are...

TL;DR in Russian:

Флиртуйте только с одним парнем. Выбирайте одежду, которая подчеркивает ваши достоинства. Выходите из дома без компании. Предложите перейти в другое место для спокойной беседы. Сделайте первый шаг.


If your grass is close-clipped, every stick has been picked up, and there's not a muddy spot to be found, bees will have trouble finding a home in your yard, no matter how many wildflowers you plant. Bees are wild creatures who need a wild habitat to thrive. If you want them to take up residence in your yard, do the following:  Allow for some open, meadow-like spaces in your yard and garden. Leave an area un-mowed and let wild clover grow. If you don't have clover in your yard, scatter some white clover seed over the area in the fall. Leave a small brush pile and some leaves lying where they fell. Bees will use them to make a home. Leave patches of exposed dirt that turn to mud when it rains. Some bees live underground and will thank you for access to the mud they need. Bees have trouble using birdbaths, because they aren't able to land in deep water. They need an island to land on so they can walk to the edge and take a drink or a bath without drowning. To make a bee bath, take a wide, shallow dish or tray and line the edges with flat rocks. Pour water over the rocks and into the bottom of the tray. Place it in your garden near the flowers that attract the most bees. The bees will be able to land on the rocks and access the water. Rotting vegetation and stumps are great shelters for bees. More and more backyard gardeners are installing hives and other bee shelters to provide nesting spots for bees. If you're serious about attracting bees to your yard and helping them thrive, this option might be something to consider. You can start by building a small bee "house" using the following method:  Take a small wooden box and paint it a bright color, preferably white, yellow, bright blue or purple. Use organic paint so the bees won't get sick.  Layer the box with nesting tubes, standing them upright. You can buy them from a garden store or make your own by rolling brown craft paper around a pencil, pinching off the end and holding it together with tape, leaving the ends open. Fill the box to the top with these...

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвольте саду немного зарасти. Сделайте пчелам поилку. Обеспечьте убежище для пчел. Не используйте пестицидов. Садите цветущие деревья.


If your guy friend likes you, hanging out with you will become one of his favorite things to do. He'll want to hang out with you as much as he can and will sometimes even cancel his other plans to be able to do so. If your guy friend suddenly seems to be contacting you to see what you're up to and find out whether you're busy every day, you may be dealing with a lovesick guy pal. Guys with big crushes on their lady friends will sometimes very subtly allude to their feelings in conversation. They do this in a number of ways. Some try to steer the conversation toward romantic topics, asking questions about who their female friend likes and whether she's looking for someone. Others will want to talk about the practice of dating itself, for instance, joking about how ridiculous most couples seem to be. Keep track of the types of conversations you have with your guy friend - if they mostly seem to be about romance or dating, even if he makes no indication that he's interested in dating you specifically, this may be his way of signalling his interest. There's an obvious exception to this rule. If your guy friend involves you in his love life by asking you for advice with other girls, it's usually a sign that he thinks of you as a non-romantic friend. Some guys are less shy than others. Especially confident guys may even enjoy openly flirting with you. If your guy friend has developed a habit of playfully teasing you, making silly innuendos, or seems to enjoy scandalizing you, this shows that, at the very least, he's thought about you as more than a friend. Realize that a guy's intentions can be somewhat vague when he flirts. Many guys have a habit of flirting, then playing their flirtation off as a joke if their advances aren't immediately reciprocated. Still others flat out use flirtation and innuendo as a form of goofing off. Persistent, repeated flirtation, however, is almost always a sign of something more. Guys who wish they were dating their gal friend sometimes recreate the atmosphere of a date when they're...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на его привычки и приоритеты. Обратите внимание на то, о чем вы разговариваете, когда вместе. Обращайте внимание на флирт. Знайте "фальшивую дату", когда это произойдет. Обратите внимание, как он относится к другим девочкам.


If your guy friend won't stop pressuring you for a date, there are some things you can do to set clear boundaries and send him the message that you aren't interested. Avoid texting your guy friend, since it’s easy to share too much information about yourself over text messages and you don’t have the nuances of body language to show how you really feel. Restrict texting to necessary communications, like where to meet up or if he has something you lost.  If he is taking your “no” especially hard, you may want to consider not texting him at all anymore. Continuing to text him when he is sad about not being with you only leads him on, making matters worse. Ceasing texting communications is also appropriate if he begins to harass you about your decision not to date him, or if your current significant other is uncomfortable with it. Going out one-on-one with a guy friend who asked you out can be confusing to your guy friend. Make sure you are clear with him that the outing is not a date, but just as friends. Two, it creates opportunity for romance and for you to accidentally send the wrong signals. If it make you more comfortable, you can restrict outings to group settings so that outings do not seem like dates. Physical affection is the wrong body language for keeping a guy friend from wanting to date you. Even grabbing his arm or laying your head on his shoulder tells him that you’re interested, even if you only mean to express enthusiasm or appreciation.  Try side hugging instead of full frontal hugging, as this prevents accidental affection or opportunity for it.  Don’t have physical contact like making out or sex. This creates a confusing situation for both of you, because if there is enough chemistry to want to do those things, chances are there is enough chemistry to start dating. What you talk about with a guy friend also can send the wrong signals. If you want to remain friends with a guy after he has asked you out but you said no, avoid having conversations about things that are for more intimate...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сократите обмен сообщениями. Не оставайтесь наедине. Не проявляйте физического влечения. Избегайте разговоров на сокровенные темы. Общайтесь по телефону как можно реже. Ходите выговориться и поплакать к подругам.


If your guy is stressed out over work or school, dealing with family issues, or preoccupied with a personal crisis, he probably won't be all that receptive to a big new development in your relationship. There is no "perfect moment," so don't wait for one. A low-key, quiet moment without stress is always a good opportunity. There are, however, bad times to talk about love:  After sex. While intoxicated. Over text or the phone. During or after a fight or argument. Is there a special place that brings up strong memories for the both of you? You may want to tell him at the place where you had your first date, or where you went out to dinner for your two-month or six-month anniversary. That said, all that really matters is that you have a place to talk without being interrupted constantly.  Ask him to go for a walk with you, help with a basic chore, or simply "come over to talk with me for a few minutes." You don't have to plan to be at a cheesy "rom-com" setting like an ocean cliff, but it shouldn't be in a dirty alleyway either. Don't try a big gesture or romantic setting -- this isn't the time and chances are good it will backfire. What matters are you and your feelings. So don't overthink things. Speak from the heart and have an open conversation, not some big production. Just start talking honestly about your relationship -- how happy he makes you, good memories you've shared, your own feelings -- to bring up the topic of love organically. Eventually, the only thing left to do is just come out and say it. So close your eyes, count to three, and let it out. Say it any way you feel comfortable, since the words themselves are what really matter. Make eye contact, smile bravely, and be the astounding, honest, and loving person you already are. Remember-- simpler is sweeter. If you're shy and unsure what to do, try out these methods:  "I'm in love with you." "Joe, I want you to know that these past eight months have been some of the happiest of my life. I feel like we've connected on a deep level and every day we...

TL;DR in Russian:

Дождитесь подходящего момента, когда парень будет чувствовать себя счастливым и довольным. Найдите тихое местечко, где вы сможете остаться наедине и поговорить. Все должно происходить естественно и от души. Закройте глаза, сделайте глубокий вдох и скажите: Если вы не сможете встретиться в ближайшее время, можно признаться в любви в письме, по телефону или через голосовое сообщение.


If your guy only calls you hours after the sun has set below the horizon and the stars come out, chances are, it's not because he's in the mood for stargazing. Though it does mean that he's definitely in the mood. If you never hear from him until after-hours, unless he's a doctor with an insane schedule, it's likely that it means he only has sex on the brain. If he gets in touch with you on week nights but you almost never hear from him on the weekends, it's because he's reserving the weekends for his Grade-A tail, or for the women that he actually thinks are worth dating. If you never hear from him until rarely on Friday or Saturday nights, but come Tuesday, his schedule is wide open, then it's because he expects your legs to be wide open, too. If you only hear from him once or twice a week, and it's not to set up a date, but to sporadically come over right now, then he may just want you for sex. If you can't get a hold of him when you want to see how he's doing for five days, but suddenly he's blowing up your phone at midnight on a Wednesday night, then he must be ready for some more convenient late night lovin'. If you text him to say, "How's your day going?" or "How was your big test?" and you hear nothing but the crickets in the woods behind your house, then he doesn't want to make small talk. But if you text him a casual "I want to see you," one night, and you can already hear him put his foot on the gas pedal, then you have a problem. " It's okay to have a busy schedule, but if it means your guy can never make time for dinner and a movie but can always make time for some catching-up between the sheets, then he's not busy -- he just wants to get busy. If you know that he has time to hang out with friends, go to sporting events, and spend hours watching TV with his brother, but when he's too busy to grab coffee on a Sunday afternoon, then he just doesn't want to make time for you. If he only calls you to "hang out" at your place, or to spend some time "catching up" on the couch of his dirty apartment,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Он контактирует с вами только после наступления темноты? Он общается с вами только в будние дни? Он связывается с вами только от случая к случаю? Он общается с вами, только когда ему удобно? Он вечно занят? Он никогда вас никуда не приглашает?


If your hair growth is associated with a medical condition such as hirsutism or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), you may be able to take birth control to help reduce hair growth. Since these two conditions produce an overabundance of androgens, birth control is used to decrease the production of these in the body. The decrease in androgens will slow down hair growth and make it finer and softer than before. Consult your doctor about hair growth issues associated with these conditions. If you don't have one of these conditions, you should not take birth control to reduce hair growth unless it is prescribed by your primary care physician. Electrolysis is a procedure where a small needle in placed into a hair follicle and it is zapped with an electrical current. This damages the hair at the follicle level, which stops hair growth in the area. These treatments are typically suited for small areas, though larger areas can be treated over multiple treatments. Look for a qualified electrologist in your area, but be aware. These treatments are expensive.  Electrolysis is the only permanent form of hair removal, but it does cause some pain. If you have PCOS or hirsutism, these treatments will help at first, but the body hair will eventually come back. Laser hair removal is faster and less painful than electrolysis, but your hair may grow back. Typically, you would need four to six treatments which are spaced about four to six weeks apart to gain satisfactory hair removal. During this process, body hair production is reduced. Dermatologists and skin specialists perform these treatments, but they are expensive. It is possible to permanently stop hair growth in certain areas with laser hair removal, although in some cases, the hair may still grow back. There are some new medicated, prescription creams that help reduce hair growth. These products, such Vaniqa, help reduce the production of body hair in women along the face and neck. It blocks the production of a natural enzyme in the skin that causes hair to grow. This...

TL;DR in Russian:

Противозачаточные. Электролиз. Лазерная эпиляция. Попробуйте лечебные кремы.


If your hair is long enough, tie it back in a simple bun at the base of your neck or the back of your head. If you have difficulty with a traditional bun, you can make a loose one with nothing but an elastic ponytail holder. Tie your hair back with the ponytail holder. On the final wrap-around, do not pull your ponytail all the way through; instead, pull the hair through the elastic band just enough to create a bump or bun at the top. To keep the ends secure, wrap a second elastic band around the first. If your hair is too short to put in a bun, consider adding tight curls using hair rollers.  If you don't have rollers, consider using bobby pins to create tight pin curls, instead. The main idea is simply to create tight curls that frame the face or otherwise stop above the shoulder. Loose, flowing curls would not work as well. Alternatively, you could leave the curlers in your hair. This will create a much more casual, “at home” look. Make sure that the curlers are secure, though, so that they won't accidentally fall out as the day passes. A simple trick for making hair look grayer is to dust it with a little white powder, like baby powder or flour. Less is more, though. You want the hair color to look faded, but you don't want the powder to be especially noticeable.  Evenly sprinkle the powder over your head. It is best to sift it out, rather than applying it with your hands. Once it's on there, shake your hair to break up any clumps and help spread the powder throughout. You may even wish to run a comb through your hair to help spread the powder. Spray a little hairspray over the hair after applying the powder to help prevent the powder from falling out. When done, both baby powder and flour should wash out of your hair with enough water and shampoo. Baby powder might be easier to strip from your locks than flour would be. Another option is to simply buy a cheap gray or white costume wig. You can usually find an old woman's wig at any store that sells costume supplies.

TL;DR in Russian:

Уложите волосы в пучок. Короткие волосы завейте. Присыпьте волосы мукой или детской присыпкой. Подумайте о покупке парика.


If your hair is sticking up in the wrong places or covering part of your face in an unflattering way, it will take away from any of the positive aspects of the picture. Make sure your hair is combed to get out any of the kinks, and that you have used product or hairspray to get rid of any static. Your hair doesn't have to look perfect, but you do have to make sure it does not attract attention away from your face. When you are taking photos of yourself, you can try wearing slightly more makeup so your features are not washed out under the lights. Just don't apply 'too' much makeup or you won't look like yourself and may look like you're wearing a makeup mask. If you don't normally wear a lot of makeup, you can just put on some nice mascara and lip gloss to draw attention to your features. If your face is naturally a bit oily, make sure to put some powder on your face, or to remove the oil with a natural oil-blotter. An oily face can look even more oily in a photo. Natural lighting is always best, but play around with the lights in different rooms. Always do your best to take your picture in a room that has sufficient lighting to see your features.  If you are indoors, stand near a window. If you are outside, take the photo early in the morning or late in the afternoon so the sunlight does not overwhelm the photo. The background you choose should make you stand out instead of making you look washed-out or plain in comparison. If you are indoors, just a plain white or brightly-colored wall will do; don't stand in front of a wall with a lot of posters or designs on it, or you won't stand out as much. If you are outdoors, pick a uniform background, like a row of trees or a lake, and try not to stand in front of other people or moving objects, like buses. This is one common way to take a "selfie," so you should be comfortable doing it before you take dozens of pictures that don't come out right. This will help you avoid that awkward photo where your forearm is blocking half your face and looks incredibly muscular....

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте волосы. Накрасьтесь. Подготовьте освещение. Выберите правильный фон. Старайтесь держать фотоаппарат в прямой руке. Настройте себя на позитив.


If your hair isn't already blonde, consider dying your hair blonde. Then streak your hair black. Wear black, white, dark red, and navy blue clothes.  Any dark, solid colored tank tops work well, and you can wear two tanks at the same time with both of them showing. For a unique Avril look, put crazy pins on your shirt and pants. Wear boys shirts, cargo pants or baggy jeans. Wear hoodies and put your hood up. Get brands like DC's, Vans, and black high-top Converse.   Do not forget the solid-coloured sweatbands and spike bracelets. Add rings and chains to add to the Avril look.  Wear rings on your thumb.

TL;DR in Russian:

Смените цвет волос. Выбирайте темные цвета. Носите какую-нибудь черную скейтерскую обувь. Она любит высокие скейтерские носки. Носите проклепанные ремни с классными пряжками. Надевайте много красных и черных браслетов.


If your hair loss is extreme, visit your local pharmacy and getting an over-the-counter hair treatment cream, or talk to your doctor about a prescription cream. When applied on a daily basis, these help to increase hair growth in bald or thinning patches on your head. Make sure to follow all safety precautions on these labels. For instance, products intended for treating hair loss in men can be extremely dangerous if they're handled by a pregnant woman. For extreme thinning or balding, consider a hair transplant. This surgical technique targets hair loss by transferring hair to the balding area from another part of the body. Talk to your doctor to determine whether this treatment option is safe and viable for you. Men tend to be better candidates for these surgeries, but they can be an option for women too. A product that's just as high-tech as it sounds, a laser comb is a relatively new innovation that uses lasers to stimulate hair growth. You just turn on the power to the comb, then slowly brush along your scalp. These combs start at about $250 for a quality set, but you can use them yourself, and it can be a value over pricier treatments like surgery. Laser treatments often work best in combination with another treatment. Available at most high-end salons, keratin treatments can increase hair growth and add thickness and shine to your hair. They will also make your hair frizz-free.  You should be aware that keratin treatments may contain formaldehyde.  Depending on the salon you go to, these treatments can cost upward of $50 per visit.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте средства против облысения, чтобы остановить процесс. Сделайте пересадку волос. Купите лазерную расческу, если хотите лечить облысение дома. Попробуйте придать объем и стимулировать рост волос с помощью кератиновых процедур.


If your ham turns out to be overly salty, you can diminish some of the saltiness by serving it with dairy products like cheese, sour cream, or cottage cheese. The dairy products will help counteract the salty flavor of the ham.  Try chopping up the ham and cooking adding it to scalloped potatoes. Add salty ham to an omelet with cheddar and vegetables for a quick breakfast or lunch. Acid can help mask the salty flavor of ham. If your ham is too salty, consider drizzling a little lemon on it to help mask the ham’s saltiness. Make sure you only use a tiny amount and no more than a tablespoon for the entire ham. Rub the lemon juice on the outside of the ham and let it sit for about 15 minutes before serving.  You can also try white vinegar to help mask the saltiness. Taste the ham after fifteen minutes. If it is still too salty, allow the vinegar or lemon juice to soak in for another ten to fifteen minutes. If you are dealing with leftover ham that is too salty, you can still make use of it by using less. For example, if you are adding the ham to a soup or stew, use two-thirds of the amount called for in the recipe. This can help cut back on the salty flavor while still allowing you to make the most of your leftovers.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подавайте ее с молочными продуктами. К приготовленной ветчине добавьте немного лимонного сока. Используйте меньшее количество ветчины, чем указано в рецепте.


If your hamster bites you, this usually means that they are scared or anxious. Biting is a natural response to fear for hamsters. If your hamster is biting you, give it some more time before you try to hold it. Keep talking to it and letting it smell your hand occasionally, but don’t force it into your hand for a couple more weeks. Wait until your hamster doesn’t seem nervous anymore (shown by biting, shaking, squeaking) when you put your hand in the cage.  Be cautious about not waking up sleeping hamsters. This can startle them and cause them to bite. Hamsters may also bite if your hand smells like food. So be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before handling your hamster. Since hamsters are such small creatures, you’ll need to monitor them closely for potentially dangerous health problems. While most hamsters are generally healthy, a problem can worsen quickly in a hamster’s tiny body.  The biggest health problem among hamsters is diarrhea. This condition needs quick vet attention since hamsters can perish from dehydration. The telltale sign that your hamster has diarrhea is when your hamster’s rear end looks wet and brownish in color. Another common medical complication for hamsters is protrusion of the eyeball from the socket. This is usually caused by an eye infection or by some other kind of physical trauma. If your hamster’s eyes look like they are bulging, take it to the vet immediately. Hamsters can be territorial creatures, which means that they may not like to share their cage with other animals, including other hamsters. If your hamsters are fighting among themselves, you may need to separate them permanently into different cages. At the very least, make sure there are no closed off portions of the habitat where one hamster can corner another. And try to make sure there is two of everything so they don’t fight over food and water.

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите проблему агрессии. Будьте внимательны в отношении здоровья хомяка. Решите проблемы взаимоотношений питомцев между собой.


If your hands are dirty, you're only going to make things worse with your mask. Clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water, making sure to scrub and rinse for at least 20 seconds. Don't try the toothpaste technique on plastic lenses. Toothpaste is abrasive, which can scratch plastic. Stick using in on glass lenses only, and pick one of the other methods for plastic lenses. Using a non-gel toothpaste, rub a liberal amount into the inside of the mask on the lens. As you rub, the mask should start smoothing out, which is what you want. You should be able to feel the change in texture. If it's the first time you're cleaning the mask (conditioning it), you can rub the lens on the outside, too. Conditioning just means you're cleaning it for the first time after buying it, and it needs extra cleaning to get the manufacturer's oils off of it. Use clean, fresh water to clean the toothpaste off the mask. It may take a bit of elbow grease to get it all off, but it should eventually come off. Once it's off, dry off the lens. Try breathing on the mask to see if it fogs. If it does, try doing the whole thing over again. If you're conditioning your mask for the first time after buying it, you'll want to let it dry, and then repeat the process about 5 times.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вымойте руки. Наносите зубную пасту только на стеклянные линзы. Нанесите зубную пасту на сухую маску. Смойте зубную пасту.


If your hard drive is still spinning but you're encountering performance issues, it's best to stop the hard drive from running as soon as possible. Once you've turned off your computer, don't turn it on again until you can take it to a professional repair service. If you're worried about an external hard drive malfunctioning, you can simply unplug it from your computer. If you can get your hard drive to work on a computer other than the one in which it currently resides, the problem isn't necessarily with the hard drive itself--it's with the cables or the ports on your computer.  If you're using an external hard drive, this is as easy as unplugging it from your computer and plugging it into a different one. You'll also want to try a replacement cable in case the old one is malfunctioning. Internal hard drives present a more complicated problem. In order to diagnose your internal hard drive's connection health, you'll first need to remove the drive from your computer. After doing so, you can buy a hard drive docking station or a USB cable converter (Amazon sells both) that allows you to connect your external hard drive to another computer. Before removing a hard drive, make sure your computer is unplugged and the battery is disconnected (if applicable). Removing a hard drive is an incredibly difficult task on a Mac. If you intend to do so anyway, proceed with caution. In rare cases, a hard drive failing to work on your specific computer (but working on others) can be symptomatic of a failing motherboard. If you can get your hard drive running on any computer other than your own, you should take your computer into a tech company somewhere to get it checked out. Hard drives have three distinct components that are likely to cause a drive failure if they malfunction:   PCB - The circuit board (usually on the bottom of your hard drive) controls most of your hard drive's functions, as well as translating hard drive information into readable information. Circuit boards are typically green.  Platters - Thin disks that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прекратите работать на компьютере. Подключите жесткий диск к другому разъему или к другому компьютеру. Запомните названия и характеристики компонентов жесткого диска. Прислушайтесь к звукам, которые издает жесткий диск. Воздержитесь от поспешных действий.


If your headache does not resolve within 24 hours, despite taking steps mentioned above, get an epidural blood patch.  During an epidural blood patch procedure, a small amount of your own blood will be injected in the space just outside the perforation in your spine. The blood will clot, sealing the perforation and restoring pressure in the spinal membrane. This restores spinal pressure and stops further leakage, relieving headache symptoms. The success rate of this technique is more than 70%. Usually, 15-30 ml of your blood will be taken from your arm, and then you will lie on your side for 2 hours. This procedure can be repeated up to 2 times if the primary attempt fails to control headache. An epidural blood patch should not be done if you have a fever or skin infection. A saline solution such can be injected into the epidural space instead of blood.  It produces a similar effect as blood, but is sterile and comes with a much lower risk of infection. However, saline solution is thin and rapidly absorbed by the epidural space, meaning that the pressure is not as effectively maintained as with a blood epidural. 1–1.5 liters (0.4 US gal) of Hartmann saline solution can be administered over a 24 hour period, starting the same day of the spinal tap or anesthesia. Surgery is the last treatment option for spinal headache.  When all other measures fail to stop a spinal leak, surgery can be attempted to repair the perforation. It immediately stops the CSF leak, but carries the risk of infection and is somewhat invasive. Therefore, your doctor will counsel you thoroughly (regarding the procedure, and its pros and cons) before undergoing surgery. By using a small needle, the risk of spinal fluid leak is dramatically reduced, because the likelihood of a leak is related to the size of the needle perforation.  Using an appropriately needle size and shape can minimize the likelihood of spinal headache. A large needle bore will produce a large perforation, so it is always best to use small bore needles, usually between...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте эпидуральную кровяную пломбу при хронической сильной головной боли. Попробуйте эпидуральный укол физраствора. Как последнее средство, прибегните к хирургическому вмешательству. Убедитесь, что при эпидуральной анестезии или спинномозговой пункции используют подходящую иглу. Убедитесь, что игла направлена правильно.


If your heavy period bothers you, talk to your doctor about ways to make it better. If it’s right for you, they can give you medicine (usually birth control) to make your period less heavy. When you go for your visit be ready to tell them how often you get your periods and how long they last, and about how many pads or tampons you use in a day. Sometimes a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) can help with heavy periods. It depends on which kind of IUD is used – non-hormonal IUDs may increase bleeding. Sometimes, heavy menstrual bleeding is caused by an imbalance in your hormones. If heavy bleeding is a consistent problem for you, ask your doctor about getting your hormone levels checked. This can be done with a simple blood test. Your doctor can give you medication, usually birth control, to regulate any unbalanced hormones. Uterine polyps and uterine fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) growths that can occur in the uterus and cause heavier bleeding. These usually develop in your 20’s-30’s. If you had normal periods in the past that have become heavier, ask your doctor about the possibility of uterine growths. Another condition called adenomyosis causes heavy bleeding and painful cramps. Ask your doctor about this if you’re middle-aged and have had children – that’s when this condition most commonly occurs. Some women just have heavier periods than others; in some cases, however, medical conditions cause heavy menstruation. These can be diagnosed with a physical exam, ultrasound, biopsy, or other procedure. If you want to understand your heavy period, work with your doctor to rule out the following possible causes:  A bleeding disorder that you inherited from your parents; you will probably have other signs of easy bleeding other than your heavy period Endometriosis Pelvic inflammatory disease Thyroid disfunction Kidney or liver problems Cancers of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries (rarely) Iron deficiency anemia can occur if you have really heavy periods. This is when you lose so much blood that it depletes how...

If your hedgehog is well fed and watered, it may be less likely to bite out of hunger or thirst. Keeping your hedgehog healthy will reduce stress on both you and the hedgehog. It will reduce the reason for bites. Always be gentle when holding your hedgehog. Do not squeeze or grip it tightly. Do not handle it high up in the air or that may give it a chance to fall and hurt itself. Hedgehogs have moods too! It may want to sleep, eat, or exercise. Be sure to not interrupt its daily routine just because you want to hold it. This may irritate it into biting. Hedgehogs have extremely strong senses of smell. You may want to avoid using harsh-smelling soaps, lotions, or body wash to make it easier for your hedgehog’s nose. Using the tips above, you should be able to learn what your hedgehog may do before it bites. Watch your hedgehog and learn its personal behavioral traits to know when it is the best time to handle it. One tip is to watch its quills. When a hedgehog is in a relaxed pose, its quills will lie evenly against your hand and will not be sharp. If it is in a defense pose, its quills will stand on end and be sharp!

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за тем, чтобы еж хорошо питался. Следите за состоянием здоровья ежа. Заботливо обращайтесь с ежом. Уважительно относитесь к питомцу. Подумайте о смене лосьона для рук или ароматизированного мыла. Научитесь понимать язык тела ежа.


If your hibiscus plants are potted, move them as close to the outside of your home as possible during the winter. This will make them a few degrees warmer. In the winter time, keep the soil as warm as possible by providing mulch. Sprinkle a layer on top of the soil all around the base of the plant to get the best results. Go to your local garden center and purchase heavy frost cloths to cover your hibiscus plants with. This will help them stay protected them from the elements and raise their temperature several degrees. Hibiscus plants typically thrive when given warm water, despite the time of year. However, warm water is crucial during winter time. Water your plants with water that is about 95 °F (35 °C) to keep them warm and healthy.

TL;DR in Russian:

Переставьте горшечные растения поближе к дому. Накройте почву слоем мульчи. Накройте растения гибискуса лутрасилом. Поливайте гибискус теплой водой.


If your home has a fireplace, make sure you know how to use it safely. When a winter storm warning is issued, bring enough firewood inside to last for a few days. If you have a generator, be sure to have enough fuel to keep it running for a few days. Keep the generator completely outdoors, not in a garage. Running a generator indoors can cause carbon monoxide poisoning and death. Fill up water bottles and jugs when a storm warning is issued. Have a well-stocked cupboard of non-perishable foods that do not require preparation. Keep a first aid kit and a week's supply of necessary medications. Downed power lines and your emergency heat source both raise the risk of fire. Keep a fire extinguisher in your home. Make sure your home's smoke detectors are working. Keep a battery-powered radio in your home, as well as at least one flashlight per person. Make sure to have multiple extra batteries for each. Have enough warm blankets, sleeping bags, and clean clothes for everyone in your household. Cold weather can reduce your battery's power. If you are stuck in your car during a blizzard, it is vital that your battery is strong enough to start your engine in order to keep you warm. Look for any signs of corrosion or wear of your battery's cables, tray, and hold-down brackets. If your car's battery is four years old or older, it may be time to replace it. Make sure to do this early on in the season, not right before a blizzard hits. Make sure your car is well-prepared for cold weather.  Check your tire's treads. If they're worn down, consider replacing them. If winter storms are frequent in your area, you may also want to invest in snow tires. You will need much more grip when driving on ice.  Change your oil and replace it with a less viscous oil meant for cold weather. Cold weather will slow oil's ability to flow.  Make sure your cooling system is well-prepared. If necessary, flush your system and refill it with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water. Even in freezing temperatures, your engine can overheat...

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте источник тепла. Проверьте, запасено ли у вас все необходимое. Будьте готовы к возможному пожару. Запаситесь другими предметами первой необходимости. Проверьте автомобильный аккумулятор. Приготовьте свой автомобиль к зиме. Приготовьте аварийный запас и постарайтесь хранить его не в багажнике, а в салоне автомобиля на заднем сиденье. Не выезжайте из дома после объявления штормового предупреждения.


If your home has a wrap-around style porch with an overhang, one or more fans might be just what you need. Not only will they help reduce the number of airborne critters by literally blowing them away, they’ll also keep your surroundings cooler and more hospitable during the sultry summer months. Keeping the air outside moving is also useful for dispersing carbon dioxide, food particles, and other human odors in the environment that brings bugs in for a closer look. Fill a few coffee filters or pieces of cheesecloth with pungent herbs and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, bay leaf, or citrus zest and tie them off into bundles. Hang the bundles around your light fixtures, or somewhere less conspicuous, like under the eaves of the roof or behind a potted plant. Any insects in the vicinity will catch a whiff and think twice about coming any closer. Replace the spice pouches every few days once they begin to lose their potency. Spices aren't the only natural turn-off for bugs. You may get equally effective results by combining essential oils like rosemary, mint, thyme, lavender, or clove oil with a small amount of soapy water and spritzing the solution in out-of-the-way spots. Just be sure to keep the liquid away from exposed wiring and other electric lighting components.  It may be necessary to spray your herbal solution once or twice a day during the muggy summer season when insects are out in full force. You can also mix essential oils with a mild carrier oil like olive or coconut oil and apply them to your skin to serve as a wearable repellent. Tightly-woven mesh screens can provide a full-time barrier against bugs for larger porches and other outdoor sitting areas. When outfitting your porch, be sure to choose a type of screening that’s small enough to prevent gnats and other tiny nuisances from slipping through the cracks. An experienced contractor can screen-in an exposed porch in a single afternoon for as little as a couple hundred dollars.  If you’re handy with a toolbelt, you might also opt to install a...

If your home treatments are not making your toenail any better after 2-3 days, check in with your doctor. If you have diabetes or another condition that causes nerve damage, see your doctor immediately and consider seeing a podiatrist.  If you notice red streaks coming from the toe, you need to see a doctor immediately. This is a sign of a major infection. You should also see a doctor if there is pus present near the toenail. Your doctor will ask you when the ingrown toenail started, and when it started to swell or get red or painful. He or she will also likely ask you if you are feeling any other symptoms, such as fever. Be sure to talk about your symptoms fully. Your general practitioner is usually able to treat an ingrown toenail. But for more complicated cases or recurrent conditions, you might choose to see a podiatrist (foot specialist). If your toenail is infected, your doctor may prescribe an oral or topical antibiotic. This will ensure that the infection clears up and new bacteria does not take root under the toenail. Your doctor will likely want to try the least invasive procedure, which is to lift the toenail slightly away from the skin. If they can get the toenail edge away from the skin, they may pack gauze or cotton underneath. Your doctor will give you instructions for replacing the gauze every day. Follow these instructions to make sure your toenail heals. If the ingrown toenail is very infected or has grown significantly into the surrounding skin, your doctor might opt to remove part of the nail. Your doctor will administer a local anesthetic. Then the doctor will cut along the nail edge to remove the part of the nail growing into the skin.  Your toenail will regrow in 2-4 months. Some patients worry about the look of the toenail after this procedure. But if your toenail has been growing into your skin, chances are it will look better after this partial removal. Toenail removal may sound drastic, but it actually relieves the pressure, irritation, and pain of an ingrown nail. When you get...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратитесь за медицинской помощью, если три дня лечения в домашних условиях оказались безрезультатными. Расскажите врачу о ваших симптомах. Получите рецепт на антибиотики.

If your house is heated and/or cooled by a central system, you can change the filters as a means of controlling dust levels in your air. Dust will continue to build up in your home, but a quality filter can slow down the rate of dust accumulation.  A standard air filter will only filter big particles from the air to prevent damage to your heating or cooling systems. To prevent dust, it is recommended that you use high-quality paper or pleated fabric filters that are disposable and replace them every 1 to 3 months.  The highest quality filters are HEPA (high-efficiency particulate arrestance), but you should only use these with compatible heating and cooling systems. These machines clean the air by trapping dust particles. They're great for high-dust households or families with dust allergies. Air purifiers only clean the air in the room they're in, so consider getting one for each bedroom and the living room.

TL;DR in Russian:

Чистите или заменяйте воздушные фильтры. Купите очиститель воздуха.


If your house is unorganized, you probably don’t have designated places for all your things. Instead of resigning items to a certain room or area, keep track of a very specific location for everything in your home.  Don’t simply leave something on your nightstand, create a space specifically for that item. Do the same for everything in your home so that things aren’t left lying around without a place to live. Keep something like a basket or small stand near the front door where you can place things you need to deal with when you have more time. This might include your mail, items from the store, or things from school and work. Choose a day during the week on which you have most (or all) of your time free. Then, choose a single area in your life that is unorganized and needs to be cleaned up. This could be rooms in your house, your car, or your office at work. Then work only on throwing out unnecessary items that are taking up space in that section of your life.   Get organizational storage containers, folders, and boxes to help your place stay organised. You can buy items designated for organized storage from many department and furniture stores, or you can make your own using things like cups, shoe boxes, and dishes. Make these organizational pieces a bit more attractive with a coat of paint or a covering of fabric. Consider the last time you used the items you are sorting through. If it has been many months or years since you last needed it, consider throwing it out. Although you might assume that you “need” everything you own, an disorganized house is probably likely to have some items you don’t. Sort through the things that constantly give you clutter and determine how useful it is to you. If you haven’t used it in a long time, don’t use it frequently, don’t like it anymore, or don’t need it, get rid of it.  Keep your emotions separate from the items you are sorting. Sure, your great aunt may have given you that porcelain knickknack, but do you truly want or need it? Make steps to throw these things out,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите всем вещам свое место. Разгребайте захламленность шаг за шагом. Избавляйтесь от ненужных вещей. Не приносите в дом новые ненужные вещи. Сразу кладите использованную вещь на место. Распределяйте свои домашние дела. Все подписывайте.


If your husband is angry or in a bad mood, sometimes it's better to disengage. Angry people are often difficult to reason with. In this situation, it's appropriate and even healthy to simply ignore your husband until he calms down.  Oftentimes, a bad mood leaves someone looking for a fight. If your husband had a bad day at work, for example, he may overreact to a small indiscretion on your part. If you know your husband is in a bad mood, do not take it personally if he snaps at you.  If your husband is angry and trying to cause an argument, the best response is to tune him out. Ignoring provocation may feel like defeat. However, it's actually more productive. An angry person is not going to listen to logic or reason and will not relent even when you try to apologize or defend yourself. If your husband tries to bait you into an argument, simply respond with short phrases, like "Yes" or "Okay" until he gives up and leaves you alone.  This is not a longterm solution. In the immediate moment, ignoring your husband's anger can be a good means of coping but it's not something you should regularly have to do. On occasion, everyone slips up and lashes out at a loved one due to a bad day or bad mood. However, when it's a regular occurrence it can become a real problem. If your husband is temperamental by nature, you should have a sit down talk with him about this behavior. If you and your husband are arguing late into the night, sometimes it's better just to go to bed. Try to ignore any bad feelings you're having towards your husband and get some sleep. If you're still upset in the morning, you can talk when you've both calmed down.  If it's late and you and your husband are arguing, tell him you're going to bed. Try to ignore whatever he did to upset or frustrate you. You can try relaxation techniques, like flexing your toe muscles, deep breathing, and counting exercises. These will help you ignore the situation and fall asleep faster. If you're arguing late at night, you're more likely to say something you don't...

TL;DR in Russian:

Игнорируйте мужа, когда он не в духе. Когда вы злитесь, просто ложитесь спать. Учитесь принимать вредные привычки своего партнера. Отвлекитесь. Будьте вежливы, но честны. Старайтесь не общаться напрямую. Давайте четкие короткие ответы.


If your hyperpigmentation occurs on an area such as your legs, arms, neck, or back, you can wear clothing that hides it. This is especially useful if you have a rash or discoloration that is sensitive to makeup or topical treatments.  Jeans, khaki trousers, leggings, stockings, and long skirts can be worn to hide hyperpigmentation on your legs. Long-sleeved shirts, jackets, kimono tops, and shawls can be worn to cover it up on your arms. If it appears on your neck, you may opt for a high collared shirt, such as a polo or oxford shirt. If it is cold outside, you can wear a scarf. Shirts will normally cover up the back or stomach. If you are wearing a bathing suit, opt for a one-piece suit (for women) or a swim shirt (for men). You can use foundation on your body as well as your face. Be aware that certain parts of your body--particularly those that are hidden from the sun--may be a different color than your face. You may need to find a lighter shade. Another option is to try a foundation that is specially formulated for use on your body.  Pat the foundation on the affected spots with a sponge, and blend so that it looks natural. You can use concealer on these spots as you would on your face; however, it may not be as effective when applied to the rest of your body. Most forms of bodily hyperpigmentation are aggravated by sun exposure. In warm months, it may be difficult to wear clothing to cover these areas. Try to find a tinted sunscreen that will blend into your complexion, like a foundation, but provide essential SPF, so that the hyperpigmentation does not worsen. Ask your doctor or dermatologist for a recommendation, especially if the pigmented areas are sensitive or easily irritated.

TL;DR in Russian:

Once you've restored a different backup with your photos included, you can save the photos and then return to the most recent version of your iPhone. It's on the right side of the "Backups" section. A pop-up window will appear. You may have to turn off Find My iPhone before proceeding. Click the drop-down box in the pop-up window, then select a date in the resulting drop-down menu. Make sure that you pick a date at which your photos were present on your iPhone. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so will prompt the backup to begin restoring. You may be prompted to enter a password before proceeding. This can take several minutes. Once the restore is complete, you can open your iPhone to view your photos. If you want to restore the most recent version of your iPhone, upload the deleted photos to Google Drive or iCloud before doing so. Otherwise, the photos will be removed from your iPhone once the backup is restored.

If your iPhone was disabled as the result of multiple failed login attempts, you'll see a message that says “Device is Disabled”. This method will erase all of the content on your iPhone, so you should only use it if you're unable to use iTunes Backup and Restore. Unlike using iTunes Backup and Restore, you can complete this method with any computer using iTunes (not just the one you normally sync with). Keep holding these buttons down until you see the Recovery Mode screen. This screen is black and will display the iTunes logo and a connector, indicating that the device is connected to iTunes. Do this if you see the following text in a pop-up window: “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.” Otherwise, move to the next step. You'll see this button on a pop-up window that also contains the buttons “Cancel” and “Update.” Once you click “Restore,” iTunes will start the restoration process, which may take several minutes. When the restore is complete, your iPhone will rest. Follow the prompts to set your location, Wi-Fi, and create a new passcode.  If you made an iCloud backup at an earlier date, select the option to “Restore from iCloud Backup” on the “Apps & Data” screen. If you have no backup, select “Set Up as New iPhone” on the “Apps & Data” screen.

If your iPod is disabled, the only way to unlock it is to completely erase and reset it. If you have a backup, you'll be able to restore it, otherwise you'll lose all of your data. There is no way to unlock a disabled iPod unless you use the correct passcode or you erase it. If you don't have a computer with iTunes, see the next section for instructions on resetting your iPod using the iCloud website. You should see your iPod listed at the top of the screen. If you are asked for a passcode after connecting your iPod to your computer, or you've never synced your iPod with iTunes on your computer before, see the Using Recovery Mode section below. This will allow you to restore your data after you reset your iPod. Make sure "This Computer" is selected to create a complete local backup. This will likely take a few minutes to complete. Once the reset process is complete, you'll be taken through the iPod's initial setup process. This will load the backup that you created so that all of your data is restored.

If your iPod is displaying a folder icon for the error, then it is having difficulties accessing the hard drive. Oftentimes, this is caused by an ill-fitting hard drive. Luckily, securing the drive is fairly straight-forward.  All versions of the iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle, and iPod Nano use flash memory instead of a traditional hard drive. This means there are no moving parts that can fail or connections that can become severed. There is no practical way to secure or replace an iPod Touch hard drive, as the flash memory unit is built into the circuitry. Make sure that the iPod is turned off and locked with the Hold switch toggled on before opening your iPod. This will ensure that you don't accidentally turn it on while working on it. It is recommended that you use a specially-designed opening tool to pry the back off, but you can also use a thin flathead screwdriver. If you use a screwdriver, you run the risk of scratching the case.   Some guides recommend a sturdy plastic guitar pick as a good substitute tool. Insert the tool into the small crack between the metal and plastic parts of the case. Work the opening tool around the edge, gently prying the back off the iPod. Press the tabs inside the shell using your tool to help release the casing. When the case is open, don't force the two halves apart, as there is a small ribbon cable attaching the front to the logic board. The large, rectangular metal object in your iPod is the hard drive. Check the cables connecting the hard drive to the rest of the circuitry to make sure that nothing has come loose.  Gently lift the hard drive out of it's housing to reveal the connector cable underneath. It is usually connected to the logic board with black tape. Remove the tape and press the connector firmly into the board. Replace the tape and the gently replace the hard drive. This loose cable is the source of a significant number of hard drive problems. This will create a square that will be thick enough to apply pressure onto the hard drive. If you don't have a business...

If your idea of the best day ever means getting as much done as possible, it helps to have an idea of all the tasks that you want to accomplish. You don’t necessarily need to check off every entry on the list, but the more you’re able to cross off, the more inspired you’ll be to complete it.  When it comes to making a list, think quality, not quantity. Don’t overload the list with a ton of tasks that you know you can’t possibly complete in one day. Instead, focus on a few key projects -- three or four is a good number to start with.  Prioritize your list by ranking the to-do tasks in order of most important to least important. That way, if you run out of time, you’ll have accomplished the most crucial tasks so you can feel really good about yourself. Sometimes, even staring at a to-do list with only a few items on it can be overwhelming. Instead of becoming paralyzed by the feeling that you can’t possibly finish everything on the list, make sure that you get one key chore or project done. You’ll feel so much better about yourself and your day if you’ve finished the most pressing task on your agenda. Pick your one task with great care. The more important it is to your life, whether it’s a project that might to lead to promotion at work, an application for a college or school that you really want to go to, or the outline for a novel you hope to write, the more satisfied you’ll feel at the end of the day. This may seem like a silly thing when you’re thinking of having the best day possible, but getting rid of an unnecessary mess somewhere in your home or room can help boost your mood and make you more productive when it’s time to work. Start with visible clutter that you see regularly, instead of a messy closet, to help reduce your stress. You don’t have to take on a large decluttering project. Even if you start by cleaning off the top of your desk or a shelf on your bookcase, you’ll still feel the benefits.

If your inflammation is caused by sunburn, an allergic reaction, or is simply dry and itchy, there are many ways to treat yourself at home. Your kitchen is a great place to find ingredients that can help soothe and heal your irritated skin.For example, you can apply cucumber slices to red, irritated areas for almost instant relief.  Honey is another great home remedy because it is a natural anti-inflammatory. Rinse your skin with warm water, then apply a thin layer of honey. Rinse after 30 minutes. Your redness and irritation should be reduced. If sunburn is the cause of your inflammation, you can make a paste using the gel from an aloe vera plant. Mix a small amount of the gel with equal parts cider vinegar and white vinegar and smooth onto irritated skin. Avocado is another option. If your skin is inflamed due to extreme dryness, apply mashed avocado to your skin. Rinse with warm water after about 10 minutes. Your skin will feel refreshed. Essential oils are an inexpensive and effective way to heal your skin at home. Most oils can be purchased at your local health food store. Some pharmacies and grocery stores also stock them. Essential oils should often be placed in a carrier oil (like almond oil or coconut oil) and not directly applied to the skin as this can cause further irritation.

If your insoles are moving around a lot when you’re walking, that could be why your shoes are making squeaking noises. Pull out the insoles, sprinkle some baby powder inside of your shoes, and then put the insoles back in. The baby powder will help reduce the friction between your insoles and shoes so they don’t squeak as much.  If you don’t have baby powder, you can use talcum powder or cornstarch instead. If your shoes don’t have removable insoles, sprinkle the baby powder along the seams of the insoles instead of underneath them. Fold 2 paper towels so they’re small enough to fit inside your shoes and then slip them underneath the insoles. Putting a paper towel underneath your insoles will help prevent them from moving around and squeaking as much when you’re walking.  If you don’t have paper towels available, try using napkins or dryer sheets instead. You may want to change out the paper towels after you wear your shoes a few times so they don’t start to smell. Remove the insoles and rub coconut oil on the bottom of the inside of your shoes. Then, reinsert the insoles. Coconut oil can help lubricate your insoles so they’re less likely to squeak when they move around.  You only need to apply a thin layer of coconut oil to your shoes. You may need to reapply the oil if your shoes start squeaking again later on.

If your internet connection was working a few days ago, but isn't anymore, you may be able to fix the problem by performing a system restore. This will roll back your computer's settings to the date that you select. Any changes made to the system since the date will be undone. This means that programs that you've installed since the selected date will be removed, and settings will be reverted. A system restore will not affect your personal files. The fastest way to open it is to search for it, though the process varies a little depending on the version of Windows you are using:  Windows 10 and 8.1 - Click the Start button and type "recovery". This will load the Recovery window in the Control Panel. Select "Open System Restore". Windows 7 and Vista - Click the Start button and type "restore". Select "System Restore" from the list of results. Restore points are created automatically whenever a change is made to your system files, such as installing a program or driver. Windows will choose the most recent restore point automatically. To view all available restore points, check the "Show more restore points" box. Choose a restore point from a date when you know your wireless adapter was working. Since restoring will roll your computer back to the date you select, programs that have been changed in that time will be affected. Click the "Scan for affected programs" button to see what will be removed or added back to your computer during the restore. Remember, your personal files will not be affected. Once you've selected your restore point and confirmed that you want to restore, Windows reboot and roll back. This may take a few moments to complete. Once the restore is finished, Windows will load and you will be informed that the restore was successful. If there was a driver or software problem causing a problem with your wireless adapter, restoring to a point before the problem occured should fix it. If you still can't get your wireless adapter to turn on, you may have to get your computer repaired or replaced.

If your issue with your teeth is that they aren't white enough, you can use whitening products to make them whiter. This may help you feel more confident about your smile, even if you have other dental issues.  There are many whitening products you can try. The cheapest and best to start with is whitening toothpastes. These are easy to use because you use them just like any other toothpaste.  Also try whitening gels. These come with trays to hold the gel against your teeth. These can be more expensive, especially if you get custom trays from a dentist shaped to your teeth. You may also want to try whitening strips. These stick onto your teeth to whiten them. These are quite expensive and you will likely have to use these repeatedly, so the cost can add up. If you want extreme whitening, you can also get professional whitening treatments done by your dentist. Something as simple as brushing your teeth twice a day can help your overall teeth health and make you more confident about your teeth. Brushing can improve the way your teeth look even if they are not straight. Brushing will keep teeth healthy and make it easier to get dental work to fix more complex problems. Choose a fluoride toothpaste. It will do a better job of preventing cavities and tooth decay than a non-fluoride toothpaste. Brushing is not the only maintenance that you should perform on your teeth everyday. Floss daily using either normal floss or floss toothpicks. This will help remove bacteria, plaque, and food from your teeth that is missed by your toothbrush. It will also keep your teeth healthier and looking better. Mouthwash will also help maintain your teeth and make you feel more confident about your smile. Plus, it has the added bonus of killing bacteria and giving you fresh breath. Excessive sugar in the diet is a leading cause of tooth decay. Each time you eat sugar, an acid is created that starts to deteriorate your teeth. Instead of eating multiple sweets really close together, try limiting the amount you intake to one sweet every...

If your itch becomes particularly painful or disruptive to your daily life, or if it persists for longer than two weeks of home treatment, you may want to visit a doctor for additional care. Call and make an appointment with a general practitioner, who can give you helpful diagnostic feedback and refer you to a specialist if needed. When meeting with your doctor, be prepared to share with them details regarding your general health as well as your specific itchy condition. Information that can be particularly helpful includes:  Skin conditions you’ve had in the past Locations and sizes of itchy skin patches A timeline of the development and changes of your itch Aggravating factors you may have identified Any associated symptoms you’ve noticed Relieving factors you may have discovered It is likely that your doctor will conduct a physical examination to help generate a diagnosis. Be prepared to show her or him the areas of your body most affected. Your doctor may also ask to touch your skin. In many cases, additional diagnostic work may become necessary. Here are some of the most common tests your doctor may ask for:  Blood test. Drawing blood with a small needle and analyzing its components in a laboratory can help doctors identify the internal conditions that could be contributing to the itchiness. Imaging tests. X-Rays, MRIs, or CT scans may help doctors find the internal conditions at the root of your itchiness. Chemistry screen. This type of blood test can help determine if liver or kidney disorders are contributing to the itch. Thyroid function test. A specific type of blood test, a thyroid function test examines whether a thyroid abnormality might be causing the itchiness. Skin biopsy. By removing and testing a section of affected skin, doctors can better determine what types of specific skin conditions are contributing to the itch.

If your itching doesn’t subside after a week or you become very uncomfortable, see your doctor. The doctor may prescribe oral medications, steroid creams, or light therapy for your itching. See your doctor if: you're so uncomfortable that it disrupts your sleep or ability to function daily, your skin is painful, self-care and home remedies haven’t worked, or you suspect your skin is infected. Applying a calamine lotion or non-prescription anti-itch cream can relieve the symptoms of itching. You can purchase these creams at grocery and drug stores both in-store and online.  A nonprescription anti-itch, or hydrocortisone, cream, can help relieve itching. Make sure to purchase a cream with at least 1% hydrocortisone.  Look for anti-itch creams that contain camphor, menthol, phenol, pramoxine and benzocaine Apply these creams to your hands and feet before you moisturize your skin. Your doctor may also suggest applying the cream to the affected area and then covering it with a moist bandage to help your skin absorb the cream more effectively.  Follow the specific product instructions for how often you can use the cream on your skin. These drugs can neutralize allergens and help relieve itching and skin inflammation. There are many different over the counter antihistamines that are available at drug and grocery stores both in store and online.  Chlorpheniramine is available in 2mg and 4mg. You can take 4mg every 4 to 6 hours. Don’t exceed 24mg per day. Diphenhydramine is Available in 25mg and 50mg. You can take 25mg every 4 to 6 hours. Don’t exceed 300mg per day. These drugs often have the added benefit of sedative effects, which can help if you are having trouble sleeping. There is evidence that selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, may help relieve pruritis. Talk to your doctor about this option if other treatments aren’t working. Common SSRIs used to treat skin itching are fluoxetine and sertraline. When the itching is not relieved by applying an over the counter topical corticosteroid, your doctor...

If your jewelry is more tarnished, you may need to get actual jewelry polish to clean the necklace. Alternatively, you can make a paste of baking soda and water and rub it into the necklace as a polish.  Another option is half a cup of lemon juice with a tablespoon of olive oil.  You can also use toothpaste. The ingredient in the toothpaste that polishes the silver is hydrated silica, so look for that ingredient; tartar control toothpastes will have more of this ingredient. However, whatever you use on your teeth is likely fine for silver, though gel varieties likely won't work as well. Put a small dab of the paste on the necklace. If you have precious or semi-precious stones on your necklace, this method may not be the best one, though you can try to avoid the stone. Just a pea-sized dab should be enough, and you can always add more later. For this part, you can start out just using your fingers, if you'd like, though only do so if you're using a natural paste; grab a microfiber cloth if you're using professional silver polish. Rub the paste into the silver, including the chain if it's also tarnished. Basically, it's like your rubbing soap into the silver, but you're using a paste instead. You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush (one you're not going to brush with!), but you can end up scratching it if you try to brush too hard. Once the tarnish is mostly gone, run the necklace under water. Carefully wash off all the paste, as any left on will look funny. You can repeat the process, as well, if you didn't manage to get all the tarnish off.

If your kitten has not already been spayed or neutered, this may be contributing to hyperactivity. Most veterinarians consider this procedure safe for kittens as young as six to eight weeks old, as long as the animal weighs at least two pounds (0.9 kg). The procedure should prevent the following types of behavior (at day or night):  Female cats can go into heat when as young as four months old. They tend to make loud, unusual noises, rub against people and objects, and try to get outside. Un-neutered males are generally more active and noisier than neutered ones. They may also spray furniture or act aggressive. Cats can suffer from medical issues that disturb sleep, just like humans. If your kitten shows any of these symptoms, have a vet conduct a full examination:  Meowing for much of the night sometimes means the cat is in pain. Active behavior for most of the day and night points to insomnia or another disorder. It's common for kittens to sleep 20 hours a day.  Sudden hyperactivity in a previously calm cat can be a sign of a thyroid disorder, although this is rare in young cats. A vet can detect this with a blood test and prescribe daily medication. These products are designed to mimic a cat's facial pheromones, the substances cats rub onto objects with their face to mark them as familiar. Unfortunately, there are few high quality studies of the synthetic version. You can try it to see whether your kitten calms down, but there's no guarantee it will work. Homeopathic calming treatments, including "flower remedies," are not based on science.

If your knee is inflamed you should give it as much rest as possible. Activity on the knee will only increase inflammation. Rest will give your body a chance to heal the underlying cause.  Rest your knee as much as possible. Most people still need to walk and do simple movements with a knee that has inflammation. If this is the case for you, at least try to avoid strenuous activity on the knee. If the inflammation has not improved after 1-2 days, you should see your doctor. Inflammation can be reduced by icing the knee. Reducing the temperature of the area constricts blood vessels, which reduces swelling. It also decreases pain by numbing the area.  Apply an ice pack for 15 minutes of every hour. Doing this for 3 to 4 hours in a row will reduce inflammation drastically.  You can use an actual ice pack to reduce inflammation. However, a bag of frozen vegetables works just as well. Wrap the frozen bag with a towel to protect your skin from the cold. Putting some compression on a knee that has inflammation can prevent or reduce swelling. Compress the knee area by wrapping it in a compression bandage. Compression bandages are available at most drug stores and big box stores.  Be sure that you don't wrap the area too tight. A very tight bandage can cut off circulation to the rest of the limb. To make sure it's not too tight, ensure that you can slip one of your fingers under the bandage and lift the finger slightly. Also, if your toes or feet start to become numb, it is a sign that you need to loosen the wrap. Give yourself a break from the wrap every few hours. Wrapping your knee can also help to support the knee if you do need to walk on it. Lift your knee above your heart so that circulation in the knee is increased. This is easiest to do when lying down. Once you are lying down, have someone put pillows under your knee until it is elevated above your heart. Elevate your inflamed knee whenever you are resting. If you plan on watching TV, reading a book, or taking a nap, lift your knee while doing it. Simple...

If your knees tend to collapse inward when you stand, you may need to encourage your glutes to engage more. Doing the sit-to-stand exercise with a small object between your legs can help with this. If you have a small exercise ball, or even a kid’s bouncy ball, this is ideal, but almost any small object can work. Press the ball (or other object) between your legs, and squeeze your legs together to keep the object in place as you stand. You can try using a small pillow, yoga block, stuffed animal, or book. This will throw off your balance, making it a little harder for you to rise up into a full standing position. Using a stability ball helps to strengthen your legs more effectively, and to better tone your core. For faster results, you can gradually increase the number of reps you do in each set. Try doing 3 sets of 15. If you’d still like more intensity, you can do 3 sets of 20. You can also increase the number of times you do this exercise per week. Another way to make this workout a little more intense is to hold a dumbbell in each of your hands. Try starting with 3 pound (1.4 kg) weights. If that’s not enough, move up to 5 pounds (2.3 kg).  If you can get through 15-20 reps without feeling worn out, move up to slightly larger weights. As you continue to work out, move your weights up in 2 pound (0.91 kg) increments approximately every 8 weeks.

If your knuckle is broken, it should start to swell after about ten minutes.  The swelling will be centered around your broken knuckle and may spread out to the rest of your hand.  The swelling from a broken knuckle may be severe.  You may find it difficult to move your hand if it gets swollen enough.  When your knuckle starts to swell, you may experience a tingling or numb sensation as well. Take aspirin, ibuprofen or another over-the-counter pain medication to decrease the swelling and deal with the pain. Doctors may not be able to work on your hand if it has swollen too large.  Applying ice to the injury early can help alleviate swelling. Wrap an ice pack with a paper towel and apply it to your knuckle or use a bag of frozen vegetables. Keep the ice pack on for up to 20 minutes at a time and then give your skin a chance to return to normal temperature before applying the ice pack again. A bruise from a broken knuckle will appear much faster than a normal bruise.  As blood rushes into your injury, the area will begin to discolor within a matter of minutes.  Bruising will also make your injury very tender.  It will likely hurt to even touch a broken knuckle.  There are cases of bones breaking without any bruising present, but they are rare. Keep your hand elevated to decrease bruising.  Keeping your hand above your heart will allow the blood to flow away from the injury. A surefire way to tell if you have a broken knuckle is to see if it has sunk beneath your other knuckles.  If you can, curl your injured hand into a fist and look at your knuckles.  They should stick out.  If there is one knuckle that you can’t see, then that knuckle is definitely broken. The fracture may affect the position or angulation of your knuckle, causing it to sink. If your bone is sticking through your skin, you have an open fracture and you will need surgery to repair it.  Make sure to wash the entire area with antiseptic soap.  It will be easy for any open wounds around your broken bone to become infected which will make the...

If your laptop has a built-in webcam as most do, you can easily take a photo. If not, however, you'll need to install a webcam on your computer before continuing. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. This will search your computer for the Camera app, which allows you to take a photo with any attached camera. It's a white, camera-shaped icon at the top of the Start window. Doing so will open your Windows Camera app. A light next to your camera should come on once the camera is on, and you should see yourself in the Camera app's window. You should see your photograph subject's image on the screen. This camera-shaped icon is at the bottom of the Camera app window.

If your laptop's battery is suddenly draining faster than it used to, performing this method once may fix the problem. You don't want to perform this method too often; completely draining and then recharging most laptop batteries repeatedly can reduce the overall lifespan of the battery by 30 percent. Remove your charger from the laptop's charging port to do so. Never disconnect the wall socket side of the charger first, as plugging it back in while the charger is connected to the laptop could damage your computer. You can simply keep your computer turned on until the battery life runs out, but streaming video or running another battery-consuming process will speed up the battery draining. This will ensure that the battery is completely dead before you proceed. Skip this step if you have a lithium battery. Plug back in the computer's charger to do so. This process will be more effective if you leave your laptop off for as long as possible. You can use your computer during this time, but make sure that it is plugged in for at least two days without a break. Doing so will ensure that your battery is fully recharged, which may lead to an increase in overall battery life.
