If you are engaged, your students will be too. You'll quickly learn what works and what doesn't, so don't be afraid to take risks and try new projects, styles of teaching, and activities. You can abandon failed experiments when they come up. try to keep it fun.  Aim for at least one new lesson or project per year to try to keep yourself engaged. If it works well, keep it. If not, never speak of it again. Avoid convoluted point-based behavior systems. Token systems that involve a complicated set of rules for behavior and other methods tend to confuse students more than excite them. Keep it simple. The less you have to say each day, the better off your classroom will be. Whatever you're teaching, it's better to keep students active, instead of passively sitting and listening to you talk. try to limit this as much as possible and keep the day activity-based. Students will be forced to pay attention and engage with lessons if they're called on regularly. This also has the effect of encouraging students to contribute and talk when they have something to say, rather than waiting to be called on when they may not have a good answer. It's great to play the occasional game, break into small groups, and do some solo free-writing in a class period, but you wouldn't want to do too many of the same types of tasks in one day, or in the same week. try to space out different kinds of activities to keep things fresh and avoid boredom ruts. Maybe every Monday will involve a free-write, while every Friday will involve some kind of group activity. Try keeping things consistent from week to week so your students will be able to anticipate things and you'll have to explain less. It's helpful to give short and simple tasks to break up the work and the routine in the day, rather than giving students long multi-part projects that will bog them down. Consider breaking up assignments into smaller chunks to make it easier on your students and keep them engaged.

If you are excited about homecoming because a special person asked you to go, it is important to be honest with your parents about it. You may think that will make them less likely to say yes, but you will show maturity if you tell them the truth and do not try to hide it. If you are not sure how to tell your parents about your date, keep it simple. You might say, “Someone really special asked me to go to homecoming, and I’m really excited.” In most cases, your parents are going to want to know everything they can about your date. Provide as much information as you can, such as their name, grade, and what activities they participate. You might even explain how you two met and what you like so much about the person.  Share whatever details you know about your date’s family. Your parents will probably want to know about them too. Your parents may also want to know what kinds of grades your date gets too, so don’t be caught off-guard by that. If you have a picture of your date, it can sometimes help to share it with your parents. Even if you give your parents all the information about your date, they may still not be ready to allow you to go to homecoming. However, meeting your date in person can often make them feel comfortable. Invite your date over to talk with your parents, so everyone can get to know one another. To take some of the pressure off, make the meeting as casual as possible. You might invite some friends who your parents already know and like over too, so your date doesn’t feel like they are being interrogated. If your parents still are not sold on the idea of you going to homecoming with your date, you may need to arrange a meeting for them with your date’s parents. That way, they can discuss details such as transportation and post-homecoming activities, and your parents may feel more comfortable if everyone is on the same page. Having your parents meet your date’s parents also allows them to exchange contact information.

If you are expecting a layover, bring a book or magazine with you. If you find yourself book-less, check out one of the airport shops and purchase something there. Choose something you find engrossing; getting lost in the pages will pass the time more quickly. Have a few options on hand so you can switch back and forth when you feel like it. For instance, buy one of your favorite magazines to read when you need breaks from a dense novel. Switching gears occasionally may prevent you from getting bored with even the most thrilling of books. Getting some shut-eye is a great way to pass the time, especially during overnight layovers. Even a quick power nap can leave you feeling refreshed. If you’re traveling with other people, ask them to watch your stuff while you sleep. Do this with caution if you’re traveling by yourself, since airport theft does happen.  Some airports have designated sleeping areas with comfy chairs where you can secure your belongings. If you’re truly exhausted and facing a long layover, check out the room pricing at the airport hotel. Some airports even offer rooms that you can rent out for a few hours at a time. If you are between one long flight and another, walk around the airport and restore circulation to your legs. Many airports include public exhibits. Otherwise, you can window-shop, read regional billboards, watch airplanes, or simply look around and locate your next flight’s gate. Get some fresh air if you can. Most airports have restaurants and snack bars, even inside security. A meal will give you energy, and it will taste better and likely cost less on the ground than it would in the air. It's easy to get dehydrated when you're traveling, so grab a bottle of water or another of your favorite beverages. Find out what your airport offers before grabbing something from the closest fast food chain. Some have extremely nice restaurants with gourmet offerings. If you don’t have one with you, pick up a blank journal from one of the bookstores in the airport. You can document your...

If you are experiencing a sore tongue and home remedies don’t help, consult your doctor. He/She will help identify the cause of your pain and the right kind of treatment for you.  A sore tongue can have many causes including fungal, viral, or bacterial infections of the mouth, nutritional deficiencies, ill-fitting dentures, teeth grinding or over brushing your tongue, allergies, stress, or anxiety. A sore tongue may also be the result of burning mouth syndrome.  You may not notice any physical changes to your tongue or mouth with a medical condition. Or, you may experience common signs of irritation or infection, such as the white plaque coating the tongue in oral thrush, bumps, ulcers, or a burning sensation. If you’re experiencing a sore tongue or the symptoms of burning tongue syndrome, your doctor may order tests to determine the cause of your pain. Tests often can’t determine the cause of a sore tongue, but your doctor will help develop the best treatment plan for you.  Your doctor may use different diagnostic tools to determine the cause of your sore tongue. These include blood tests, oral cultures, a biopsy, allergy tests, and stomach acid tests. She may also give you a psychological questionnaire to rule out whether your sore tongue is related to anxiety, depression or stress.  Your doctor may also tell you to discontinue certain medications to rule them out as a cause of your sore tongue. Depending on the outcome of your tests, your doctor may prescribe medication to help alleviate the condition causing your sore tongue. If the tests can’t find a cause, she may also prescribe medication or home treatments to relieve the pain and discomfort.  Three medications commonly prescribed for a sore tongue are amitriptyline, amisulpride, and olanzapine. These drugs work by blocking the action of gamma-butyric acid, which may be responsible for the pain or burning sensation in the tongue.  Your doctor may also advise that you take an over the counter pain reliever to help relieve the discomfort of a sore...

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, you also need to consider if you fall into the high risk group of ectopic pregnancies. Certain factors increase a woman’s likelihood of experiencing an ectopic pregnancy.  Generally, women who have had an ectopic pregnancy in the past are more likely to experience such pregnancies in the future too.  Other risk factors include: pelvic infections (sexually transmitted infections), multiple sexual partners (as this increases the chance of unknown STI's), fallopian tube tumors or abnormalities, previous abdominal or pelvic surgery, having an IUD, endometriosis, or smoking.  Also, if a woman has had "sterilization" (also known a "tubal ligation" surgery, when her "tubes are tied" in an effort to prevent future pregnancy), although this is normally very successful in preventing pregnancy if one were to become pregnant the risk of it being an ectopic pregnancy is notably higher. This is the first step towards the diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy.  β-HCG is a hormone that is secreted by the developing embryo and placenta, so it rises as the pregnancy progresses and is a more definitive (and reliable) form of pregnancy test. If the β-HCG level is above 1500 IU/L (often between 1500-2000 IU/L is suspicious), but no pregnancy is seen with ultrasound, doctors will worry about you having an ectopic pregnancy. This is because the β-HCG levels are normally higher in ectopic pregnancy than in normal intrauterine pregnancies, so it is certainly a cause for suspicion.  If an ectopic pregnancy is suspected due to your β-HCG levels, your doctor will follow this up with a transvaginal ultrasound to see if she can visualize a pregnancy, and its location. These ultrasounds can detect 75-85% of ectopic pregnancies (the growing fetus will be able to be seen on ultrasound in that percentage of cases, which confirms its location).  Note that a negative ultrasound does not rule out an ectopic pregnancy. A positive ultrasound (one that confirms the presence of a pregnancy in...

If you are experiencing any symptoms  if PID and suspect that you might have PID, then see your family doctor or gynecologist as soon as you can. Your doctor will likely give you a physical (pelvic) exam, take a vaginal swab/sample, get your blood analyzed for signs of infection and possibly order imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scan or MRI) in order to rule out or confirm a diagnosis of PID.  During a pelvic exam, your doctor will look for: vaginal and cervical pain, tenderness in your uterus, tubes or ovaries, bleeding from your cervix, a foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Blood test results that indicate an infection include a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate and elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells (WBCs).  The earlier you get a diagnosis, the more effectively PID can be treated and the lower your risk of complications (see below). The primary medical treatment for PID is antibiotic therapy. Your doctor will likely prescribe a combination of medications to be most effective, such as: doxycycline combined with metronidazole, ofloxacin combined with metronidazole, or cephalosporin with doxycycline. If you have severe PID, you may need to stay in the hospital and receive antibiotics intravenously (through a vein in your arm). Antibiotics can help prevent serious complications related to PID, but they can't reverse any damage that's already occurred.  If your PID is caused by an STI, such as like gonorrhea or chlamydia, then your sexual partner should be treated with antibiotics or appropriate medications also. While taking antibiotics, your symptoms may fade away before the infection is completely cured, so always follow your doctor's advice and finish off your medicine as prescribed. In most cases, antibiotic therapy is enough to combat PID, but sometimes the medications aren't effective or the infection is severe or becomes chronic — making it much more difficult to treat. In these instances, your may experience serious complications of PID, such as infertility (inability to get...

If you are experiencing back pain and want to use an ice pack to relieve it, you can either make an ice pack or purchase one. From commercial packs to bags of frozen vegetables, any choice you make can help you alleviate discomfort and reduce inflammation.  You can purchase commercial ice packs specifically designed for the back at many pharmacies and medical supply stores. Make a slushy ice pack by pouring three cups (710 ml) of water and one cup (237 ml) of denatured alcohol in a large freezer bag. Wrap it inside another freezer bag to avoid spilling. Place it in the freezer until it is a slushy consistency. You can put small ice cubes or crushed ice in a plastic bag to make an ice pack. You can also use a bag of frozen vegetables, which may nicely fit the contours of your back. Before you apply your ice pack, wrap it in a towel or cloth. Not only can this keep you from getting wet and keep the pack in place, but may also protect your skin from becoming numb or getting ice burn or even frostbite. It’s especially important to wrap a commercial blue ice pack in a towel. These are colder than frozen water and can cause frostbite. You want to be comfortable while you ice your back. Finding a comfortable place where you can lie or sit can help you relax, relieve discomfort, and get the full benefits of icing.  It may be easier to lie down while icing your back. Be sure to keep your knees slightly bent to relieve pressure off of your lower back. You can also place an ice pack on a chair and hold it in place by wedging it between your back and the chair back. You may need to add a towel between the ice pack and the chair so it doesn’t slip around. Once you’re comfortable, place the ice pack on the area of your back that is causing you pain. This may offer you some immediate pain relief and reduce inflammation that is exacerbating your discomfort.  Keep the pack on the affected area for no more than 20 minutes per session. Less than 10 minutes may be ineffective but too much time can cause damage, so shoot for...

If you are experiencing complications with your navel piercing, first assess your symptoms to figure out what issue you might be dealing with. Note any discharges coming from you piercing, the pain level you’re experiencing, any swelling or redness, and any physical changes in the piercing site (like bumps forming, the jewelry changing position, skin opening larger than normal around the metal, etc.). Depending on your symptoms, your piercing may simply be irritated, infected, or you could be having an allergic reaction to the metal. The less severe your symptoms are, the more probable it is that you mildly irritated your piercing. The more severe your symptoms are, the more probable it is that your piercing is infected, or you’re experiencing an allergic reaction. If your piercing was healing normally and you accidently pulled or tugged on it, slept on it, irritated it with pool water or cosmetics, and are now experiencing some discomfort, you may have slightly irritated your piercing. Your piercing site might also be irritated if the jewelry is too tight or too loose and is moving around too much or pinching your skin. An irritated piercing is indicated with mild discomfort and irritation symptoms. Things like slight swelling, slight redness, and slight discomfort (without severe pain and discharges) qualify as mild irritation symptoms. Maintain your cleaning routine with a saline solution, and treat your piercing as if it were brand new.  Consider applying a cold compress (consisting of cool water and a small cloth or towel) onto your piercing. This may help relieve some discomfort. Leave the jewelry in your piercing. Removing the jewelry may irritate your piercing site even more. If you have any questions, consult your piercer, or visit them in person so they can look at your piercing. It is normal to have some discomfort, bleeding, and bruising after getting your navel pierced, but you should also look out for signs of a possible infection. When a navel piercing gets infected, there is usually severe...

If you are experiencing difficulty completing a back walkover, get advice from your coach or teacher. An experienced gymnast will recognize the difficulty in how you carry out the move, whether it be a lack of flexibility or simple hesitation. If you experience any pain when attempting a back walkover, see a doctor to eliminate the possibility of an injury that might be slowing you down. Completing a successful back walkover will not be possible without adequate flexibility in your back and shoulders.  Do shoulder stretches and back stretches regularly to improve your flexibility. To avoid injury caused by overstretching, have your coach or an experienced teammate supervise your stretching. Doing back walkovers without adequate flexibility can cause injury over time. Psychological blocking is a common issue in gymnastics where a gymnast freezes up and is unable to carry out a skill. There is no specific explanation or solution for this, but overcoming negative thinking is important. Avoid overthinking the problem by giving yourself a fixed amount of time to attempt the move, then moving on to other skills and exercises.  Try doing a back walkover at the beginning of your workout to avoid the stress of thinking about it during other exercises. Recognize that psychological blocking is not a personal flaw and avoid self-blame.

If you are experiencing eye strain which is severely uncomfortable or affecting your vision, step immediately away from your computer and any bright lights.  If possible, go outdoors into natural light.  Alternately, dimming the lights indoors and giving yourself a break from all bright lights may feel comforting. If you need glasses but don't have them, or if your glasses aren't the right prescription, this can increase eye strain. Make sure you've got the right prescription so your eyes don't have to work any harder than necessary.  If you wear bifocals, you may tilt your head at an awkward angle when using your computer. Talk to your optometrist to see if progressive lenses may work better. Computer glasses can be helpful, but an eye doctor must prescribe them. They work by reducing the amount of effort required by eyes to focus, thus reducing eye strain.  In addition, purchasing lenses with an anti-reflective coating will help cut down on computer glare. There are plain, nonprescription lenses with this coating available for those who don't need vision correction. Look into glasses with tinting that is specific to computer use.  Some glasses are tinted a soft pink, which helps with glare, while others have a coating which blocks the blue wavelength known to cause eyestrain. If your symptoms get worse or do not go away, ask someone to call a doctor for immediate medical help.  If eye strain is an ongoing problem for you; it's probably a good idea to see a doctor as soon as possible. You may need an eye exam to make sure that you are wearing the correct prescription of eyeglasses. You may need to change to bifocals or another type of eyeglass to reduce this problem. It is also possible you are having a migraine, which is a type of a severe headache you can treat medically. It is also important to diagnose so you can learn what can trigger these migraines. This can help you prevent them.

If you are experiencing frequent urination or poor bladder control, it is best to consult your doctor. Frequent urination could be caused by a number of medical issues. Determining the underlying cause will help you and your doctor figure out a treatment plan. Before your appointment:   Find out if your doctor wants you to avoid food or drink prior to the appointment, and follow these guidelines. Make a list of your symptoms, such as how frequently you urinate, any instances of incontinence, and/or any pain or discomfort you are experiencing. Tell your doctor if you experience pain, wetting between urinations, or if you still feel like you have to go after urinating. Write down any medications you are taking, including vitamins and supplements. Note any important medical information, such as allergies or other diagnoses. Depending on your specific symptoms, age, and medical history your doctor will choose from a range of tests to help determine the source of your problem. You doctor will likely perform a physical examination, and then move on to other kinds of tests. These might include:  Urinalysis: Your urine sample will be tested for infection, traces of blood, and other abnormalities. Post-void residual measurement: You may be asked to urinate into a container in order to  measure your level of  “output.” Your doctor may also use an ultrasound to see if there is any urine left in your bladder (which could indicate an obstruction or urinary retention). ” Your doctor may ask you to you record how much you drink, how often you urinate, the level of urine you produce each time, and any instances of incontinence over a period of 3-7 days. This info can help your doctor get a clearer picture of what you’re experiencing. To measure how much you are urinating, purchase a plastic container with measurements on the side. Urinate into the cup each time you go and write down how much urine is in it. Most cases of frequent urination can be controlled through lifestyle changes and bladder strengthening. If frequent...

If you are experiencing frequently slow network speeds, or are receiving unfamiliar/suspicious text messages, then you may have spyware on your phone. Text messages with gibberish text or requesting replies with certain codes are good indicators that you may have spyware. Open the “Settings” app and tap “Data Usage”. You can scroll down to view the data usage of your different apps. Unusually high data usage may be a sign of spyware. Connect your phone to your computer via USB, then drag and drop your data (e.g. photos or contact info) to back it up. Since the device and your computer are running different operating systems, your computer will not become infected. This opens a menu with a number of restoration options, including restoring the phone to factory settings. This button appears at the bottom of the "Backup and Reset" menu. Your phone will automatically restart and remove all apps and data, including any spyware, restoring the phone to its factory state. Resetting the phone removes ALL of your stored data on the device. Make sure you make a backup first or don't mind losing the data!

If you are experiencing lightheadedness, dizziness, confusion, or altered vital signs (such as a fast heart rate and an increased respiratory rate), you may have a more severe form of dehydration that warrants professional medical attention. The most common causes of severe dehydration are heat stroke (from spending too much time in the sun), extreme endurance sports, and illnesses that involve diarrhea and/or vomiting. If you believe you may have any of these medical conditions, or if you are worried that you may have severe dehydration, it is best to see a doctor sooner rather than later for treatment. IV (intravenous) fluids are the fastest and most efficient way to replace fluids if you are suffering from severe dehydration. This is because the fluid is injected straight into your vein, rather than having to go the long route of being absorbed by your digestive system. IV fluids are also tailored to your specific needs with the perfect balance of fluid, salt, and calories to optimize your body's hydration and overall health. If you have an illness such as diarrhea and/or vomiting, you may not be able to consume fluids orally (due to nausea and/or vomiting, or diarrhea which prevents absorption); therefore, IV fluids may be your only option in severe cases. It is important to understand that severe cases of dehydration require not only fluids for treatment, but also diagnosing and resolving the underlying cause of the dehydration — a job best accomplished by an experienced physician. If you try to rehydrate yourself without first identifying the cause of the problem, it is unlikely to lead to a long-term or permanent solution; therefore, if in doubt it is best to see a doctor who can guide you through the steps to getting properly hydrated and in good health once again.  The specific diagnosis underlying dehydration also affects the treatment course, in many cases. This is another reason why identifying the underlying cause is key. If you suffer from a chronic disease such as congestive heart failure,...

If you are experiencing pain or other side effects from ovarian cysts, then it is important to let your gynecologist know. Your gynecologist may advise a “wait and see” approach, also known as watchful waiting. Your gynecologist may also want to do an ultrasound a few weeks after you become aware of the cyst to see if it is still there. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen can provide relief for painful ovarian cysts. Make sure that you read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before use. Talk to your doctor if you are not sure what or how much to take. Sipping a cup of herbal tea may also help to relieve some of the pain caused by ovarian cysts. The warmth of the tea can help to relax you muscles and serve as a nice relaxing distraction. Some good teas to try include:  Chamomile Peppermint Raspberry leaf Decaffeinated green tea A heating pad applied to your lower abdomen may also help to relieve some of the pain caused by ovarian cysts. You can use either a hot water bottle or an electric heating pad. Place the heating pad on your lower abdomen for about 10 – 15 minutes at a time. Take breaks in between uses to avoid overheating your skin. A stressed state of mind may make pain seem worse, so try to take some time for yourself and relax as much as possible while you are dealing with an ovarian cyst. Some good stress relieving activities include:  Playing with a pet Going for a walk Taking a bubble bath Writing in a journal Calling a friend Listening to music Watching a funny movie If cysts are large or if they are causing other symptoms, then surgery may be necessary to remove them. Surgery may also be necessary if there are concerns that a cyst may be cancerous. Surgery for ovarian cysts may be performed using:   Laparoscopy — For smaller cysts, the surgeon can make a small incision and remove the cyst with the help of a laparoscopic camera.  Laparotomy — For larger cysts, it may be necessary to make a longer incision to remove the cyst.

If you are experiencing symptoms of rubella such as muscle or joint pain, headache or fever, your doctor may advise you to take over-the-counter pain medications to relieve these symptoms. Such medications include Ibuprofen, Naproxen and Aspirin.  These medications work by inhibiting the body's production of prostaglandin E2 which causes the cells in the hypothalamus (brain part that regulates temperature) to fire at a rapid rate, therefore increasing the body’s temperature. This helps to bring down fever. These medicines also work by blocking specific body chemicals that send pain signals to the brain.  Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children suffering from viral illnesses because it can lead to the development of Reye Syndrome (rare disease that damages the brain and liver) that can be fatal. Hyperimmune globulin  is an antibody given to pregnant women who have been exposed to rubella. It helps to fight against off the infection and reduce its symptoms. However, the developing baby inside the womb is still at risk. Hyperimmune globulin fights and destroys the rubella virus in three ways:  It binds directly to any foreign bodies in your system and coats their surface, making them unable to enter or damage healthy cells. It stimulates other parts of the immune system in order to destroy foreign bodies. It marks foreign bodies so that they can be easily identified and destroyed by the immune system’s cells Rubella often leads to dehydration, as your body uses more water to fight off infection and the associated fever causes you to sweat more.  In cases of severe dehydration, you will need to have lost fluids replaced through an intravenous line at the hospital or doctor's office. This is done by having a sterile needle inserted in your arm, which is connected to a tube and fluid bottle.

If you are experiencing symptoms that indicate that your hormone levels are imbalanced, or symptoms that interfere with your well-being, visit your doctor. Remember that hormonal changes are quite common, particularly in women going through menopause. However, if you are not within the normal age range for menopause or perimenopause or if your symptoms are intense, you may want to visit the doctor. Symptoms may include:  Hot flashes or trouble sleeping Changes in mood or moodiness Changes in sexual function or decreased fertility Altered cholesterol levels Before you start an estrogen treatment program, ask your doctor about the effects of estrogen on your body. While estrogen insufficiency can result in problems, estrogen levels that are too high (or prolonged exposure at the wrong times) can lead to menstrual disturbances, ovarian cysts, and breast cancer. There are many conditions that can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, loss of libido, and other symptoms associated with low estrogen levels. Do not assume that estrogen levels are the cause of your symptoms. Consult with your doctor before starting any treatment to increase your estrogen, including taking natural or herbal supplements. There are a variety of tests available for determining hormone levels.  Your doctor will likely have you take a blood test. Your blood may also be tested for FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone), which is responsible for regulating estrogen and progesterone production in the ovaries.  You should tell your doctor about any medications and supplements you are taking before having the test done. You should also inform your doctor about any hormonal contraceptive you use, as this could affect your test. You should discuss medical conditions including thyroid disease, sex-dependent hormone tumors, ovarian cysts, and unusual vaginal bleeding with your doctor, as they could affect your FSH levels.  The FSH test is usually drawn on the second or third day of your period. There are three types of estrogen; estrone, estradiol, and...

Your doctor will exam you and likely take x-rays and a blood test to rule out problems that can mimic CTS, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, diabetes, stress fracture in the wrist or vascular problems.  Electro-diagnostic tests (EMG and nerve conduction) are often done to confirm the diagnosis of CTS by measuring the function of the median nerve.  You might be asked to perform specific tasks that are difficult with CTS, such as making a tight fist, pinching your thumb and forefinger together and moving small objects with precision.  Your doctor may also inquire about your job as some are high risk for CTS, such as carpenters, cashiers, assembly-line workers, musicians, auto mechanics and people who use computers extensively. Physical therapist. Most of the time, carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms can be treated conservatively. A physical therapist will asses your joints, muscles and ligaments to see the underlying cause of your carpal tunnel symptoms. Treatments may include modalities such as ultrasound for reducing inflammation and promoting healing, exercises to increase flexibility and strengthen the associated muscles, and ergonomic education to assess your workplace or daily activities while providing modifications to reduce any stresses. Massage therapist. In some instances, carpal tunnel syndrome type of symptoms can be associated with Myofascial Pain Syndrome, a condition associated with the presence of trigger points, or more commonly known as muscle knots.

If you are experiencing unwanted weight gain while following a prescribed gluten-free diet for celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, it's important to talk to your doctor about safe and appropriate weight loss.  Many times people with these chronic conditions experience weight loss when their conditions are not properly managed. This generally occurs from severe malabsorption of calories and other nutrients in addition to a fear of eating foods.  Once the condition has been managed and absorption has been restored to normal, it's natural to experience some weight gain and this may even be beneficial; however, too much weight gain or weight gain that puts you into an overweight BMI category is not beneficial. Talk to your doctor about how much weight loss would be appropriate for you and ask about what types of diets or eating plans will be safe and appropriate for your condition. Also consider talking to a registered dietitian.  These nutrition professionals frequently specialize in celiac disease and other allergies and can help you manage your condition while losing weight.  Ask your doctor for a referral or search online. Even with a condition like celiac or a gluten sensitivity, the best way to lose weight is to pay attention to your total calorie intake and decrease your calorie intake to help start weight loss.  To lose weight safely, cut out about 500 calories a day. This is especially important if you've had previous unwanted weight loss with these conditions.  This will result in about a 1 to 2 pound weight loss each week.  You want to aim for this slow, more gradual weight loss to make sure you're eating enough nutrients to maintain a healthy body. Start by noting all the foods and drinks you consume in a typical day and figure out the total calories you're eating. Subtract 500 from this number to determine a new calorie goal that will help you lose weight. Do not consume less than 1,200 or you risk gallstones, extreme fatigue, and other side effects. Although it may seem like gluten is in a wide...

If you are experiencing vertigo and have recently been diagnosed with BPPV, you should to go to a doctor who will perform the Epley maneuver to reposition your inner ear crystals. A doctor or therapist is the only person who should do this maneuver if this is your first time experiencing BPPV. However, they will teach you how to perform it on yourself, just in case your symptoms return in the future. While you can do the maneuver at home (covered in Method Two of this article), going through the process with a doctor first will help you understand what it feels like to have the procedure done correctly. Trying at home without any context can actual further displace your ear crystals and make your vertigo worse! If you already know what this procedure feels like when done correctly, you can move to method two to refresh your memory on how to perform it. The doctor will seat you on the edge of a table or bed, with your head facing forward. Your doctor will then place one hand on each side of your head and will quickly move your head 45 degrees to the right. She will then immediately lie you down on the table so that your head is still in the 45 degree angle to the right. Your doctor will ask you to remain in this position for 30 seconds. Your head will be lying off the examination table or, if you have a pillow behind your back, your head will be on the table. Whatever level your head is resting at, the goal is to have your head lower than the rest of your body when you lie down. While you remain in the position she has just placed you in, she will reposition herself and then quickly rotate your head 90 degrees to the opposite side (which means that she will turn your head so that it is facing to the left). You should pay attention to any feelings of vertigo that you have. These will most likely stop after 30 seconds in this new position. Next the doctor will ask you to roll onto your left side, while she rapidly rotates your head to the right (your nose will now be angled at the floor). To visualize what you...

If you are experiencing what is known as the "Hell Itch"--extreme itching that usually sets in about 48 hours after a burn, a very hot shower may be the best course of action. The Hell Itch does not respond to other treatments, and is so persistent and severe it can lead to sleep deprivation, depression, aggressiveness, and suicidal thoughts.  If no other treatment works, including those recommended by your doctor, you may choose to try this method. If you are under 18, talk to your parents first. Take a shower in water that is turned up as hot as you can stand. Don't use soap or scrub your skin--the hot water will dry your skin out and soap will make this worse. Continue with the extremely hot showers until the itching subsides (usually about two days).  The hot showers work because the brain can only process one sensation at a time. The heat of the water activates the pain nerves, which will suppress or shut down the sensation of itching. If the itching is so bad you can't concentrate on anything else--you can't work, can't sleep--and feel like you might go crazy, your doctor may be able to help with an aggressive treatment. A high-potency steroid cream may reduce inflammation and calm the itching. These medications are available by prescription only, and can weaken your immune system and cause other serious side effects. They should only be used in the most extreme cases.

TL;DR in Russian:

Примите горячий душ, если испытываете сильный зуд, который не поддается лечению. Проконсультируйтесь с врачом о назначении кремов с высоким содержанием стероидов.


If you are extremely shy, you may feel more comfortable texting your crush instead of talking to them in person. While this form of communication is easier and less intimate, it is accompanied by its own set of rules and social nuisances.  Exchange numbers with your crush or get their number from a mutual acquaintance. Text your crush the same day or night you receive their number. Don’t text your crush at odd hours, like early in the morning or late at night. Instead of texting just “Hi,” begin the conversation by asking your crush a question, telling them it was nice to see them, or asking them to make plans. Don’t stress about your crush’s response time. If your crush doesn't respond after the first or second text, do not try again. Your crush's phone number is privileged information. Don't abuse the privilege. Use traditional grammar and spelling in your text messages. It is possible to flirt with your crush on every social media platform, even Instagram. This form of flirting is extremely low stress and requires next to no traditional forms communication. Every few days, double click on one of their pictures to “like” the image. After a few weeks, your crush will notice that you're consistently likely their images and hopefully take the hint.  Don’t like every post. If you are feeling bold, comment on their picture. While you can use Twitter to post witty zingers and insightful comments about current events, you can also use this social media platform to flirt with your crush.There are several ways to catch your crush’s attention on Twitter:  Retweet their latest Tweet. Your crush will be flattered that you liked their clever comment or at very least be reminded that you exist. Follow them on Twitter. Everyone gets a small twinge of excitement when a new person follows them on Twitter—your crush won’t be any different. Direct message your crush. You can use Twitter’s Direct Message feature to talk to and flirt with your crush one-on-one. Instead of retweeting and replying to every one of you crush's...

If you are farsighted enough that you have trouble seeing the mirror with your glasses on, find a makeup mirror with a magnified side to help you out. Many rotating makeup mirrors have two sides, one an ordinary mirror and one a "zoomed-in" lens. This will help hide dark circles and brighten up your eyes. Lightly dab it into the area under your eyes using a brush or your ring finger. Blend it downwards in a V shape. Go for a yellow-tinted concealer under the eyes. This will work against the bluish, grayish colors, and help hide them further. You can apply the foundation all over your face, or just on the trouble spots, such as your nose and cheeks. Be sure to blend in well. Focus on the areas beneath your eyes and in the T-zone (the nose, forehead, chin, and cheekbones). This will help set the makeup, and keep it from smudging throughout the day. Put extra powder on the bridge of your nose where your glasses rest, as sweat tends to gather here. If the extra powder doesn't do the trick, reduce the amount of makeup in that area to make smudging less obvious. Using a large, fluffy brush, dust on some bronzer across your nose and forehead, chin, and the tops of your cheeks. A light dust of blush is fine, but it's easy to go over the top when glasses already make your face stand out. If you do use blush, apply it on the apple of your cheeks. Blend it back towards the top of your ear, and down towards your jaw line.  If your glasses are made from wire or colored plastic, try a matte blush. If your glasses have a tortoise shell pattern, try a blush with a slight shimmer. Apply on top of your cheekbones instead for a more angled look. The general rule for makeup is that you either pair bold eyeshadow with neutral lips, or bold lipstick with neutral eyeshadow. Since glasses accentuate your eyes, the right choice is usually a clear gloss, nude lipstick, or another subtle shade. If your glasses have thin frames and you'd like to minimize the attention on your eyes, you can try a bolder lipstick, but this is more...

If you are feeling any carpal tunnel symptoms in your wrist and hand that persist for more than a few weeks, then see your doctor for an examination. Your doctor may take x-rays and blood tests to rule out other causes of wrist/hand pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, advanced diabetes, hairline fractures or vascular problems.  Electrodiagnostic studies (EMG and nerve conduction) are usually done to confirm the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.  Your doctor will see if you can perform certain tasks that are difficult with carpal tunnel syndrome, such as: making a tight fist, pinching your thumb and forefinger together and manipulating small objects with precision.  Your doctor may ask about your profession, as certain jobs are at high risk: carpenters, cashiers, assembly-line workers, musicians, auto mechanics and people who work on computers for long hours. Your doctor may recommend injecting the carpal tunnel area of your wrist with corticosteroid medication, such as cortisone, to relieve the pain, inflammation and other symptoms. Corticosteroids are strong and fast-acting anti-inflammatories that can quickly decrease swelling in your wrist, which relieves pressure on the median nerve. Taking oral corticosteroids (by mouth) is another option, but these drugs are not considered as effective as injections and they come with significant side effects.  Other common corticosteroid medications used for carpal tunnel syndrome are prednisolone, dexamethasone and triamcinolone. Potential complications of corticosteroid injections include local infection, bleeding, tendon weakening, local muscle atrophy and nerve irritation/damage. As such, injections are limited to 2 per year. If corticosteroid injections fail to significantly reduce the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, then surgery should be considered. If all other remedies and treatments fail to give you relief, then your doctor will likely recommend carpal tunnel surgery. Surgery should be considered as a last resort, although it can...

If you are feeling the urge to cut yourself, go somewhere it is harder to do. This can be some place public like a shop or the living room of your home with your family or your roommates. This will make it harder for you to give in to the urge to cut. It also might make you feel better, especially if you are around people who love and support you. If you're alone in your house or are unable to leave, call someone you like to talk with when you get the urge to cut. This can be a family member, a trusted friend, or a hotline. It might be helpful to create a phone list of people you can call. You can also program needed numbers into your phone.  There are many hotlines you can call for help. One is 1-800-273-TALK, a 24-hour crisis hotline for those who are about to self-harm or are in an emergency situation. You can also call 1-800-334-HELP, the Self Injury Foundation’s 24-hour national crisis line. Also try 1-800-DONT-CUT, which provides information about self-harm. If you hurt yourself or want to see a doctor, call 1-800-366-8288, which is S.A.F.E. Alternatives’ information line for immediate support and referrals to a local physician. If you are in the UK, you can call the Samaritans at 116 123, which is an agency that runs 24/7 and is dedicated to moments when you want to self-harm. You can also call Childline, a hotline for children and teens at 0800 1111. Both numbers are free from mobiles and landlines and neither will appear on your phone bill. One great way to avoid self-harm is to distract yourself. Not every distraction technique works for everyone, so you may need to try a few before you find which one works for you. Sometimes the trigger or urge can be different depending on your feelings or the situation, which means your response to prevent or stop self-harm will also be different.  Try the butterfly method. When you have the urge to cut, draw a butterfly where you want to harm yourself and name it after a loved one or someone that wants you to get better. If you cut, the butterfly dies. You have...

If you are feeling your emotions but don’t know or understand how to express them, study TV and movie actors. These are people who are trained to show emotions. They will exaggerate each emotion, which will give you a chance to understand the outward expressions associated with each emotion. The Notebook, Marley and Me, The Shawshank Redemption, Blood Diamond, and The Pursuit of Happiness are good movies with actors expressing a range of emotions. Writing down your emotions can help you become aware of them. Indicate how your body felt and how you outwardly expressed each emotion. For example, “I felt happy today after talking with my wife. To express my happiness, I smiled and gave her a hug”. Writing your emotions and outward responses can act as a ‘study sheet’ that you can review when you are having an especially difficult time expressing your emotions. Think about how you might react to events happening in your future, and brainstorm alternative emotional responses. For example, if you know you are going to a wedding, you might initially feel dread or stressed about meeting new people. But, consider other emotional responses, such as happiness for the couple’s new life and the opportunity to meet new people. Predicting how you will feel will help you be prepared to handle each emotion. If you prepare for emotional responses, you become aware of them as they happen. Empathy is critical because it allows you to be sensitive towards other’s feelings and emotions. Once you can feel for someone else, you can turn inwards, and express your own emotions. Listen to people, and really try to make a connection with them. Use your imagination to think about what someone else has been through and how they may have felt.  Volunteer at a homeless shelter, elderly home, or food bank and talk with people who have been through many struggles in their life. Take note of how they express their emotions, and keep that in mind when the time comes to express your own. Read a book and imagine yourself in someone else’s...

If you are finding your new schedule is ever-changing, and nothing is familiar, then you may be adjusting your life around your new partner.  Look for a few of the following tell-tale signs:  You haven’t talked to your best friend in a long time.  If you don’t know what your best friend is up to, what their latest news is, you’re definitely placing the new partner first. Normal hobbies are being put on the back burner.  Did you miss poker night or ladies night?  Ask yourself if your time with friends has been sacrificed. If you’ve skipped a family meal or get together for a new flame, chances are you’re altering your daily life for them. If you have been really moody lately, or have been easily upset, it’s understandable after a breakup.  If this has affected your daily life, however, enough that everyone is noticing, then you’ve likely changed emotionally.  Create some alone-time in your schedule.  Find time to just relax and steady your nerves.  If you can't change your attitude and be happy about your new partner, that's not a good relationship sign. Repeat positive affirmations daily.  Each day you tell yourself why you are happy with your partner.  If convincing yourself proves difficult, the relationship may just be a rebound. No matter what sappy romance movies tell you about the great love that’s been sitting under your nose the entire time, jumping straight out of a breakup into a relationship with a very good friend is a likely sign of a rebound relationship.  Immediately reaching out to date your best friend is not the best solution, it's just the easiest.  You run the additional risk of ruining the friendship if the relationship doesn't work out. Dating a good friend allows the uncomfortable stage of a relationship to be skipped. Romance and intimacy happens more quickly when the friendship is already established.

TL;DR in Russian:

Придерживайтесь привычного для вас распорядка дня. Обратите внимание на свое отношение и поведение. Избегайте романтических отношений с лучшим другом.


If you are following a healthy diet, increasing your exercise, and making changes in your daily routine with no improvement, there may be a medical condition or medication that is causing the problem. If you believe you may have a medical condition causing chronic fatigue, it's important to talk to your doctor about how to identify and treat your condition. There are many different types of underlying medical conditions that can cause fatigue, including:  Anemia, specifically iron deficiency anemia  Depression, grief, or recent loss  Persistent pain problems  Thyroid gland problems  Sleep disorders such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, or narcolepsy  Addison disease  Anorexia nervosa or other eating disorders  Arthritis  Autoimmune diseases such as lupus  Congestive heart failure  Diabetes  Fibromyalgia  Chronic bacterial infections  Viral infections such as mononucleosis (mono)  Chronic kidney and liver problems Some medications, especially psychiatric medications, can cause feelings of fatigue and exhaustion, but with your doctor's assistance, you may be able to adjust your dosage or replace your current medication with a different prescription. Never alter or adjust your medications on your own, as this can have serious consequences on your health, which may be fatal. Some medications that may cause you to feel overly tired or fatigued include:  Antihistamines  Antidepressants  Anxiety drugs  Sleeping medications  Blood pressure medications  Steroids  Diuretics If you feel consistently fatigued and don't seem to find any relief from sleep or dietary/lifestyle changes, you may have chronic fatigue syndrome.  Common symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome include sudden onset of fatigue, especially after having the flu, low grade fever and chills, sore throat and swollen lymph glands in the neck and armpit area, muscle and joint aches, headaches, problems with concentration, and mood changes. Depression and added life stressors tend to cause chronic fatigue syndrome to linger and may cause symptoms that...

If you are getting upset with a parent, take a time-out. Politely excuse yourself and walk into another room or outside for a breath of fresh air. Do some  deep breathing exercises to stimulate your body’s natural stress relief response. Inhale through your nose for 4 counts. Hold it for 7 counts. Then, exhale the air through your mouth for 8 counts. Repeat this technique until you start to feel calm again. Be respectful and use language that minimizes your chances of offending your parent(s) and getting into trouble. If you use statements that start with “you,” they can seem argumentative. “I” statements give you the chance to express how you feel and respectfully disagree with your mom and/or dad. Try this: “I feel mistrusted when you follow me in the car. I try my best to follow the rules, but it doesn’t help if you don’t try to trust me.” Or, “I’m feeling really pressured about having to go to your alma mater for college. Can I have more time to think this over?” One of the main reasons why you may fight with your parents is the neither of you feels heard. If, by this point, you have been allowed to express yourself, return the favor by listening to their points-of-view as well. Refrain from using any sarcasm when something is said that you don’t like or agree with. Follow these tips to listen effectively:  Put away any distractions, such as turning off phones or TVs Turn to face your parent(s) and make occasional eye contact Reflect open body language by uncrossing your arms and legs and leaning toward the speaker Wait until the speaker is done before replying Make clarifications by asking questions to ensure that you got the correct message If you’re a teen who finds yourself arguing with your parents, you may feel as if you are at war. No matter how difficult your relationship is with your parents and how rarely you see eye-to-eye, they love you and probably have your best interests at heart. Although it may feel as though you are on different sides, they just want the best for you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраняйте спокойствие. Используйте Я-высказывания, когда говорите о своих чувствах. Практикуйте активное слушание. Помните о том, что они любят вас.


If you are going from a dark color to a very light blonde, you can expect to do multiple treatments on your hair. Wait a few weeks between each treatment so that your hair has time to recover. Doing multiple treatments in one day will damage your hair. If you bleach your hair too often it can begin to fall out. Whenever you bleach your hair, an oxidation process is taking place, which removes the color from your hair. This is what leaves your hair a white or yellow shade, because the keratin (the protein your hair is made of) in your hair is naturally a pale yellow. Be prepared for your hair to suffer from dryness and brittleness as well as the fact that it will be more prone to breakage and split ends.  Because bleaching your hair is a serious process that can greatly damage your hair if done incorrectly, it is best to visit a professional if you are looking for a drastic color change. If you don't want to bleach your hair, you can use temporary color, demi-permanent, semi-permanent, or permanent color. These types of coloring only lightens your hair, so if you have very dark hair, it may not be very effective. However, the benefit of dyeing your hair versus bleaching it is that the dye won't strip your hair of color. It will still damage your hair somewhat, though, so you'll still need to take care of your hair in the same way that you would had you bleached it. If you are going from a very dark shade to a very light blonde, the process takes some time and during that time your hair will usually begin to develop an orangey tint. This happens because as you bleach your hair, cooler tones are lifted from your hair easier than the warmer, underlying pigments. So, as you remove color from your hair, the warm hues (reds and oranges) are what remain because they are trickier to lift from your hair. To counteract these warm hues you can add toner to your hair if you are going a very light blonde. This will counteract the remaining color in your air, thus removing those orangey, yellow tints in your hair. You can...

If you are going into a situation in which you may become nauseous, prepare your stomach ahead of time. Eat a bland diet, like the BRAT diet, which consists of bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Avoid certain things like fried foods, spicy foods, or foods with strong aromas. Eat smaller meals to help your stomach digest less food.  Start eating or drinking ginger, like drinking ginger tea. Ginger can help settle the stomach.  For more information, check out How to Cope With Nausea. If you start to feel nauseous, taking deep breaths can help ease anxiety. Practice taking deep breaths when you feel anxious and nauseous. Use your breath as a way to relax your body and your mind. Wherever you are, turn your attention to your breathing, making it more purposeful. Increase the length of your inhales and exhales, breathing deeply for 3-6 breaths, until you feel calm. Notice how you feel before you breathe deeply, then notice how you feel afterward. Does your mind or body feel different? Are your thoughts the same? If you have specific fears around certain things (such as giving a presentation or taking exams), use visualization as a way to cope. Imagine yourself feeling confident as you deliver a flawless presentation or as you answer each test question with ease. Imagine the feelings you feel as you succeed or as you relax. When feeling anxious and nauseous, avoid turning your attention inward toward feelings of anxiety or feelings of nausea in your stomach. Instead, focus on your immediate surroundings with your senses. Look around you and see the little details of where you are. You can also have photos or pictures to look at that help you feel calm. Listen closely for any noises, perhaps the hum of the heater or birds outside your window, or put on soothing music. For smell, light scented candles or inhale the beautiful aroma of flowers. Taste an enjoyable food, and really savor each bite. For touch, wrap yourself in a soft blanket, pet a dog or a cat, or sit outside in the breeze. Engage your senses as a way...

If you are going to be in a situation where your toddler will have to sit still, start preparing early. Let your toddler know what the situation will be and what kind of behavior you expect. Typical situations include:  Restaurant meals. Even more than meals eaten at home, meals eaten at restaurants demand good behavior. Don’t expect miracles – choose family-friendly restaurants – but let your toddler know that he or she needs to sit still and behave. Haircuts. If your toddler wiggles, fidgets, and jumps around, it will be very difficult to manage a good haircut. Explain this to your child in advance, and suggest that he or she sit as still as possible and watch the haircut in the mirror. Medical examinations. Children do need to sit still during medical exams, especially for blood tests and other lab work. Prepare your child in advance. During the exam, try to occupy your child as best you can. Distract by pointing out colorful paintings or drawings, and use your imagination: a drop of blood can be a ladybug or raspberry juice. Church, concerts, and theater performances. Again, prepare your child in advance. Understand, though, that your child may not be able to sit still for something as lengthy as a church service or a concert. Plan to take quick breaks, taking your child outside to burn off some energy. You cannot expect a hungry, thirsty, exhausted, or otherwise uncomfortable toddler to sit still and behave; it will not happen. Don’t attempt any event that requires sitting still without feeding your toddler and making sure his or her other needs are met. When your child needs to sit still, whether it’s during a meal or at a doctor’s appointment, it helps to offer a distraction. Have your child focus on a painting on the wall, his or her image in the mirror, a silly song or story – anything that works. If necessary, bring favorite toys, picture books, and snacks. In rare cases, you may want to break out a cartoon or electronic device. This can work when you really need your child to stay still – as at the...

If you are going to be teaching yourself, you will need to know how to find good learning resources. There is a lot of information available that is not reliable, so be very careful about where you look. These guidelines apply to all media, including articles and videos.  Academic journals are a great source of reliable information. If you don't have access to any other databases, try doing a search on Google Scholar to find articles.  Look for websites that are published by reputable organizations, including major new outlets, government agencies, and professional associations. Avoid relying on personal blogs and web forums for information. If you have any doubts about the quality of your source, always verify the information by looking for another source. Look for non-biased sources. A source that appears to be selling a product may not provide objective information. There is a plethora of information out there for anyone who is willing to read it. No matter what you want to learn about, chances are there is a book or website that can teach you everything you need to know.  You can find information about pretty much anything online, so start searching for answers to the questions that interest you. You can access peer-reviewed published work through journal databases like LexisNexis and JSTOR. You need a subscription to access these databases, but they may be free for you if you are a student. Many classic works of literature are available for free on websites like Project Gutenberg. Your local library is a great resource for free reading material, so take advantage of it. While a lot of information is available online, not everything is. Reading isn't a great way to learn for everyone, but luckily it's not the only way to learn. There are tons of educational videos available online that can teach you how to do all sorts of things. Whether you'd like to listen to someone explain a concept or watch someone perform a task, videos can be very helpful learning resources.  YouTube is a great resource for...

If you are going to be wearing this wreath over a hairstyle (such as for a wedding), get your hair into that style first and then measure your hair. Some hairstyles, such as French braids and braided crowns, can add bulk to your head. Try to use some thicker floral, like the kind that has paper around it. This will help the florist's tape stick better to it. Do not use scissors to cut the wire or you will dull them. Use wire cutters instead. The ring should hold its shape. If it is too floppy, twist two to three strands of wire together, and make the ring again. This should make it sturdier. You can also wrap some more tape around the entire wire ring. This will give you a base to work on. It will also make the color more consistent. Use scissors to cut real or dried flowers, and wire cutters to cut fake flowers. Try to cut all the stems down to the same length. This will make the crown neater in the end. Try using large, medium, and small flowers. This will give your crown some variety. Don't tape the flowers to the base just yet. You want to get your design down first. It is easier to make changes while the flowers are still on the table. Try alternating between different shapes, sizes, and colors. Here are some more design ideas:  Place the largest flowers in the top/front of the crown. Use smaller and smaller flowers as you go towards the back of the crown. Try having all the flowers pointing in the same direction, towards or away the top of the crown. The flowers don't have to be right up against each other. You can have them spaced as close together or as far apart as you want. Instead of attaching flowers all the way around the wire base, place them only on the top. Hold the flower against so that the stem is laying horizontally alongside the wire. Wrap some florist's tape around the stem and the wire. Start just below the bloom, and keep wrapping until you are ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) past the end of the stem. Cut the tape and press the edge down to seal it. Place it so that the bloom overlaps the...

If you are growing plants outside, but you have to wait for spring, grow your seeds inside. Seedlings take between 4 to 12 weeks to sprout. If you let them sprout inside and then transplant them into your garden, the plants will grow 4-6 weeks earlier than if you had waited to plant the seed directly into the flower bed.  Gather a small group of containers that are 2–4 inches (5.1–10 cm) deep that have drainage holes. Avoid fertilizers. Instead, use a mix of peat moss and vermiculite inside the container. Let the plants set outside in their containers for a few hours each day. Do this for at least two weeks before you transplant them into the flower bed. This will help them acclimate to direct sunlight. The best plants to transplant are tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and melons. Some plants, however, do not transplant well. These are zucchini, beans, beets, corn, spinach, turnips, and peas. Studies show that plants respond particularly well to being serenaded. When you are fertilizing the plant, talk or sing to the plant. Record your voice using a device such as a radio or tape recorder and play it to them while you're gone. This will help your plant grow faster.. Use a grow light if you are growing your plant indoors. The best grow lights are high-intensity discharge lights (HID). HID lights come in two types: metal halide (MH) and high-pressure sodium (HPS). MH bulbs cast the strongest light in the blue end of the spectrum, which causes a compact, leafy growth. HPS bulbs last longer than MH bulbs and produce light at the red/orange end of the spectrum. MH bulbs cause a flowering growth. Coffee grounds help plants grow faster because of their caffeine. If you drink coffee, put the grounds in your plant instead of throwing them away. The grounds are rich in nitrogen, which is a key nutrient in a plants diet. There have also been studies that suggest that caffeine helps the plant grow faster.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выращивайте саженцы внутри. Разговаривайте со своими растениями. Дайте ему свет. Используйте кофейную гущу.


If you are having a hard time getting through an assigned book, consider using a study aid to help you get through the book. This may help you understand complex topics and actually learn to enjoy the book.  Most major works of literature have study aids. These have annotated comments that can explain difficult sections of the book. Talk to your instructor or boss if you’re having a difficult time. She may be able to suggest effective ways to read the book. If you don’t enjoy reading and realize that you have required reading for school or work, accept it and develop a plan to tackle the assignment. This will help you figure out how to strategically get through the activity.  Allot to each section of the reading a specified amount of time so that you don’t get mired on one part of it. For example, you’ll probably want to spend more time on the introduction and conclusion than the body of a text. Make sure to schedule breaks for yourself to refresh your brain and recharge yourself. It is never too early to start required reading. This can minimize your stress and help you retain information. You can read for 20-30 minutes a day to help you get through the text in a more effective manner. Working with smaller and more manageable sections can help you get through your required reading. This will ensure that you address every section of the reading, even if it’s not enjoyable.  Before you start, skim the entire text to get a basic idea of what it is about. This can help you from getting lost or confused by the work.  Pace yourself: allow yourself no more than an allotted time for each section. This may help motivate you to get through the text. People who have to read a lot of texts, such as academics, employ strategies to quickly “gut”—or get the most important information—reading assignments. Learning how to gut can help you more effectively and enjoyably get through the tedium of required reading.  The most important sections of any text are the introduction and the conclusion. Make sure to read these...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пользуйтесь вспомогательными пособиями. Продумайте план. Начните читать как можно раньше. Разбейте текст на небольшие части. Научитесь выхватывать из текста основное. Читайте вслух. Делайте пометки. Делите текст на части и обменивайтесь конспектами.


If you are having a hard time with the idea of getting your blood drawn, you need to relax. Take a deep breath and focus all of your attention on breathing. Deep breathing activates the body’s relaxation response. Inhale slowly to the count of four and then exhale slowly to the count of four. Anxiety is just a feeling like any other feeling. Feelings only have control when you give them control. When you accept that you are anxious you take the power away from the feeling. If you try to get rid of the feeling it becomes overwhelming. Anxiety is a trick of the mind that has real physical consequences. Enough anxiety can produce a panic attack, which can mimic a heart attack. When you understand that your anxiety, no matter how little or big, is little more than a trick of the mind it helps reduce the pressure and responsibility of caring for yourself. When you are anxious, ask yourself several questions to determine exactly how bad the situation really is. Anxiety can increase the number of outrageous ideas you’re having while asking yourself specific questions that require realistic answers can increase your awareness. Ask yourself questions such as:  What is the worst thing that can happen when they draw my blood? Is what I’m worried about realistic? Can it really happen to me? What is the likelihood that the worst thing will happen? You will hear what we say to yourselves, even when you don’t think that you do. Talking out loud and repeating that you are strong, can handle the situation, and that nothing bad will happen will help to reduce your feelings of anxiety.

TL;DR in Russian:

Делайте глубокие вдохи. Примите тот факт, что вы испытываете беспокойство. Помните, что вас обманывает ваше сознание. Задавайте себе вопросы. Говорите себе хорошее.


If you are having a reaction that goes beyond mere skin irritation, you should go to a doctor right away.  Some indications that you may need medical intervention include:  The rash covers a large portion of your body The rash gets worse, rather than better, with time and home treatments The rash lasts longer than 1-2 weeks You show signs of infection, including increased redness or pain, swelling, and drainage of pus Corticosteroids are a group of medications that help treat a variety of ailments. Derived from the natural corticoid hormone found in the adrenal glands, corticosteroids have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body and this makes them excellent at combating allergic responses. Corticosteroid creams, generally used to treat skin rashes, are a variety of topical steroid creams applied directly to the affected skin. Ask your doctor which corticosteroid cream might be right for you.  Only apply the cream to the area affected by the skin rash, and only as often as and where your doctor instructs you to apply it. Once or twice a day is usually all that is necessary. Apply the cream sparingly and ask your doctor approximately how much you should use. When side effects do occur, which they rarely do, it is generally from incorrect use. Many people are wary of corticosteroid creams because of the steroid factor, but this fear is mostly unfounded. Topical steroids are very safe when used correctly, and as they are not intended for longterm use the kind of dependency associated with other kinds of steroid use is uncommon. In rare cases, if your skin doesn’t respond to corticosteroid creams, your doctor might give you a pill or cortisone injection to help reduce the reaction. If your doctor prescribes an oral corticosteroid, you should take as directed.  If you take blood thinners or dietary supplements that have a blood-thinning effect, your doctor might recommend avoiding such medications before the injection.  When you receive your injection, you may have to change into a hospital gown depending on where...

If you are having a really tough time with bad skin and blackheads, pay a visit to your doctor or dermatologist for some advice. She will be able to examine your particular skin type closely and provide the best type of treatment for you, be it something from the store, pharmacy, or even a natural remedy. There are some products that dermatologists can prescribe if you have if you have acne that is not getting better with over-the-counter products. This is not for people who just have a few awkward blackheads on their nose every now and then. Your doctor may prescribe benzoyl peroxide. It is comedolytic (unclogs pores), anti-inflammatory, and also has been shown to reduce the bacteria thought to play a role in acne. It is possible that your dermatologist may prescribe you a course of antibiotics to take orally alongside a topical treatment if you also have inflammatory acne lesions alongside your blackheads. This will only be in the most serious cases.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если вы не можете избавиться от угревой сыпи и черных точек, обратитесь к врачу. Воспользуйтесь препаратом, отпускаемым по рецепту. Возможно, вам придется принимать антибиотики и пользоваться средствами для местной терапии.


If you are having abnormal uterine bleeding, then see your physician as soon as possible.  Abnormal vaginal bleeding can be the result of many different conditions ranging from not serious to life threatening. Some possible reasons why you may be having abnormal uterine bleeding may include:  Celiac disease Certain types of cancer Endometriosis Gonorrhea Hypothyroidism Hyperthyroidism Polycystic ovary syndrome Pregnancy Stopping birth control pills Vaginitis Uterine polyps or fibroids A common early treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding is a low-dose contraceptive that contains synthetic estrogens and progestins. This medication should help to normalize your menstrual cycle and decrease your menstrual flow. Talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for a low-dose contraceptive if this option appeals to you. Keep in mind that low-dose contraceptives should be taken for a short time unless you want to use the drug to prevent pregnancy as well. If you have abnormal uterine bleeding that is heavy, then higher doses of estrogen may be necessary to normalize your cycle.  Keep in mind that there are significant risks associated with these drugs.  Do not use these medications if you:  Have recently given birth Smoke more than 15 cigarettes per day and you are over 35 years old Have a personal or family history of breast cancer, liver disease, blood clots, migraines, high blood pressure, gallbladder disease,  heart disease, diabetes, or high triglyceride blood levels. Progesterone (or a synthetic progestin) may be used on its own in women who cannot or do not want to take estrogens. Progesterone may also be used if a previous treatment using oral contraceptives did not help to control the bleeding or if lab tests show that progesterone levels are low.  Progesterone may be given in the form of a pill, an IUD intrauterine device) or as an injection. Keep in mind that progesterone alone will not prevent pregnancy. If you want to prevent pregnancy, then you will need to take another contraceptive as well. This...

If you are having difficulty identifying active woodworm in your home (as opposed to other damage to the wood, or damage from woodworm that is not longer active) look online for exterminators in your area. Read reviews online and ask friends or colleagues if they have recommendations for local extermination companies. Call different companies for quotes and assessments before booking an appointment. Identifying specific species' of woodworm is incredibly difficult, and can result in misguided treatment attempts that fall through. Ask an exterminator for a professional assessment of your problem. Inquire about pricing and potential treatments before agreeing to any services by the company. Treatments could range from water based treatments for less severe infestations to fogging – a treatment for floors that generally does not require furniture and carpets to be removed. Once an exterminator has identified woodworm in your home, consider having them treat the problem right away. Over time, woodworm can cause significant damage to wood as well as serious structural problems in a building. DIY measures can be ineffective and time-wasting if infested wood has been left untreated for too long, so be proactive about stopping the problem before it gets out of hand.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите дезинсектора. Попросите дезинсектора дать оценку проблемы. Избавьтесь от заражения.


If you are having pain across these areas, it is most likely caused by an injury to the back muscles, not the kidneys. These are common areas of back pain and it is more common for back pain to spread across this whole region than for kidney pain to spread in this way.  An injury to the back muscles can impact the function and pain levels in a variety of muscles down the backside of the body, including the gluteus muscles. If you are having widespread pain, weakness, or numbness, especially down into your legs, it is important to get medical care immediately. Kidney pain is most often located on the side or the back in the area called the flank. This is the area at the back of the body where the kidneys are located. Pain in other areas of the back, such as the upper back, is not caused by the kidneys. If the pain in your lower back is accompanied by pain in your abdomen, then it is more likely that your pain is related to your kidneys. Back pain tends to remain on the back side of the body. Enlarged or infected kidneys can cause inflammation towards the front of the body in addition to the back. If you only have abdominal pain with no back pain, that is not likely to be related to the kidneys. In many cases, kidney pain is constant. It may decrease or increase a bit throughout the day, but it never goes away completely. On the other hand, back pain will often go away completely and then come back at a later time.  Most causes of kidney pain, including urinary tract infections and kidney stones, will not stop hurting on their own without treatment. The back muscles, on the other hand, can heal themselves and the pain can go away. Some kidney stones can pass through your body on their own without treatment. However, it is still important to get the cause of your kidney pain evaluated by a doctor. If you are having pain on just one side of your flank, then it is likely that it is caused by your kidney. The kidneys are located right along the flank and a kidney stone may only cause pain in one of your kidneys.

TL;DR in Russian:

Распознайте боль, распространяющуюся по пояснице и ягодицам. Проверьте, ощущаете ли вы боль между ребрами и бедрами. Распознайте боль в животе. Определите, является ли боль постоянной. Определите, чувствуете ли вы боль только с одной стороны поясницы.


If you are having problems and no method has worked, you might consider seeing a physical therapist. She can give you specialized stretches and exercises that aid in healing a pinched nerve. Certain exercises relieve the pressure on the pinched nerve, helping to reduce pain. Many of the stretches used in this healing process must be done with a trained professional or partner, so don't do them on your own. As time goes on, your physical therapist may give you additional exercises that can be done on your own. Don't do any of the exercises alone unless she tells you to do so. This treatment, used mainly in treating a pinched sciatic nerve, can alleviate pain and help to heal the nerve. It involves a steroid shot to the spine and can only be injected by a doctor.  After being evaluated by your doctor for the degree and type of pinched nerve you have, she  may discuss this option with you. Epidural steroid injections can be a quick and effective means of getting relief from your pain. When this procedure is performed by a trained medical professional, any side effects and dangers are considered remote. However, rare side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, backache, and bleeding from the site of injection. For significant pain or symptoms that are not improved with other treatments, surgery on the pinched nerve may be the best treatment. The surgery may be to relieve pressure or to remove the part of the area that is pinching the nerve. Surgery usually provides relief after recovery. Recurrence of the pinched nerve may occur but is typically rare.  A pinched nerve in the wrist may involve cutting muscle tissue to alleviate pressure in the area. Pinched nerves caused by a herniated disc may be corrected by removing part or all of the disc, followed by spinal stabilization. Even after symptoms have subsided, it is important to continue to properly exercise, maintain proper body mechanics and good posture, and avoid previously discussed risk factors. Recovery from pinched nerves will depend on a number...

If you are having sexual problems, you may want to go see a doctor. Many sexual disorders have an underlying medical cause. If you know the reason why you have a sexual disorder, you can bring this to your partner's attention.  Your doctor may perform a physical exam or additional tests to determine the underlying problem. Your doctor may also send you to a specialist or give you a referral to a sex therapist who can help you determine any causes for your sexual problems.  For example, diabetes can lead to sexual problems in both males and females. You may want to ask your doctor for suggestions on how to work on the sexual problems at home. There are various different sexual disorders that people can have. These disorders also vary depending on your gender. Men and women face different sexual problems which may specifically deal with their genitalia, or may have a mental or psychological disorder that affects the normal function of their sexual organs. Being able to tell your partner what your problem is can help you both figure out a way to deal with it.   Erectile dysfunction is a common sexual disorder for men. Men who have erectile dysfunction have trouble getting and maintaining erections. Men may also face premature, delayed, or inhibited ejaculation. Men can also face a low libido, leading to less interest in sex.  Women can face desire disorders (where they may not be interested in or have less desire for sex), arousal disorders (where they don't feel arousal), orgasmic disorders (where they have trouble having orgasms or feel pain during an orgasm), or sexual pain disorders, where they feel pain during or after sexual intercourse.  Aging and hormonal changes, including a reduction in estrogen in women and testosterone in men, can lead to sexual problems. Menopause in women can cause sexual problems, such as lack of lubrication.  Stress, anxiety, and depression can lead to sexual disorders.  Sex addiction is another sexual disorder. One good way to prepare for talking to your partner about your...

If you are having the party at the honoree's place, you'll need to wait until they're not at home and decorate quickly. Choose decorations that are simple to put up. Ensure that the honoree won't be able to see the decorations before they walk in to the main party room. Keep decorations away from windows that the honoree could look into as they walk in. If you won't have much time to decorate, stick to decorating the main party room first and then you can decorate other rooms as you have time. If you're not hosting the party at the honoree's house, you can easily set up decorations in advance. You can decorate with the theme of the party, your honoree's favorite colors, or standard birthday decorations like balloons and streamers. Remember that the entrance to the party room should not give away the surprise, so avoid putting up banners or balloons in the entryway. Ask a few of the guests to help you set up decorations before the other guests arrive. Once guests have RSVP'd, call them or leave more detailed information on a social media page that the honoree can't see. To keep the party a secret, tell the guests where they can park, where to put gifts or food when they arrive, any costume or dress-code requirements, and an exact time to show up (usually about 30 minutes before the big surprise). Avoid giving out party details to too many people or to those who aren't coming to the party. This increases the risk that the honoree will find out about the surprise. Find a chaperone who will escort the honoree while you plan and set up the party. Pick a chaperone that the honoree feels comfortable with (such as a spouse or best friend). The chaperone can distract and redirect the honoree until it's time for the surprise party. Tell the chaperone that you may contact them if you need them to stall for more time or get the honoree to the party right away. The easiest way to distract the honoree is to plan a different event that they know about. For example, have the chaperone invite the honoree out to dinner or an...

If you are having trouble growing out your pixie cut, search online for hairstylists in your area, and schedule an appointment to get some assistance. Professional stylists can give you a great haircut as your hair grows out, and they can also offer tips and tricks to style your hair in between growth stages.  Growing out a pixie cut can be a frustrating process, and professional stylists totally understand your pain. They can keep you looking your best and offer support throughout the process! Opt for an undercut, so your hair is short around the back and sides but long in the top. This will let your hair grow into a bob naturally. Trimming your ends  keeps your hair healthy and prevents split ends from extending up your strands. Waiting awhile in between hair trims can cause your split ends to get worse, resulting in shorter hair cuts. To prevent this, trim your ends regularly so your hair grows as healthy as possible. You can get your ends trimmed at a salon. In addition, consider trimming your hair yourself. This will give you a unique, quirky look. If you are growing out your pixie cut and want to try something different, schedule a haircut for an asymmetrical style. With this style, the front of your hair is the longest, and your bangs are angled towards 1 side. This hairstyle is different yet flattering, and since your hair is longer in the front, you can easily grow this look out into a longer bob. This may require a bit of growth on top, but this makes a great, unique hair cut as you grow out your locks.
