Males are generally larger than females. If you don't have another hamster to compare with, this may not help you determine the sex of your hamster. However, if you have other hamsters, you can compare their sizes. While this is not a definitive test, it will give you a good idea whether your hamster is male or female. When you look at an older male hamster from above, you may notice that his back end is more pointed and hiked-up, whereas female hamsters have a rounded bottom. Hamsters usually reach sexual maturity by around 35 days of age, and in adult hamsters, sex differences are often fairly easy to see.  Males have prominent testicles that make their rumps bulge and take on an almond shape, while females have fairly blunt rear ends. If you see testicles, it is male. If you do not see testicles and can see prominent nipples, it is female. Females have six prominent pairs of nipples.  In dwarf hamster species, the male also has a very prominent scent gland. In the mature male, this gland usually has a noticeable yellow color and is located in the umbilical area. This area is in the middle of the abdomen about where you would expect a belly button to be. If you cannot tell whether you have a male or female hamster, the animal may not be sexually mature yet.

Before you begin, get an idea of how bad the problem is, and whether chinch bugs are the ones responsible. Cut the base off a coffee can and push it two inches (5 cm) into the turf. Pour in soapy water until it stays filled. Repeat in several areas of your lawn, especially at the border of yellow patches. Return after ten minutes and count chinch bugs floating on the surface:  5+ chinch bugs per can: a serious infestation. Continue to the next step for treatment. 2–4 chinch bugs per can: low-level infestation. Improve lawn health and test again later. Treat immediately if your lawn is in poor health. 0–1 chinch bug per can: no treatment necessary. If your lawn is in poor health, there is probably another cause. Alternatively, you might also take a close look at the lawn with a magnifying glass. This can be effective if you catch the chinch bug infestation early, before they've spread throughout your lawn:  Rake the lawn vigorously for 2 ft (60 cm) on all sides of the damaged area, toward the center. Vacuum the damaged area and surroundings. Water thoroughly. Insecticidal soaps are considered safe and appropriate for organic farming. A homemade soap treatment is actually more likely to damage your garden, but pure castille soap or mild Ivory or Dawn products (not extra-strength, grease-cutting, or anti-bacterial) are usually safe in a solution of 2½ tbsp dishwashing liquid per 1 gallon water (40 mL per 4 L). Mix in a clean sprayer, then shake or stir vigorously to combine. If using an insecticidal soap, dilute it following label instructions instead.  This method also works best if you catch the infestation early and use it to target small areas of lawn. If you have hard water in your area, the soap may fail to mix in, leaving a scum on the surface after the water settles. If this happens, make a new mix using distilled or bottled water instead.  Using a commercial insecticidal soap for chinch bugs is not legal in Canada, although this may just be an oversight. Homemade soap treatments are allowed.  Any soap...

Hopefully, washing the inside of your microwave with vinegar will have gotten rid of any burnt or food smells. Once you’re done, give it in a sniff. If you still detect the same smells as before, move on to the next steps. If not, leave the door open so the vinegar scent airs out. Test again later on to make sure the vinegar didn’t overpower any lingering odors that become more obvious as the vinegar airs out. Don’t count vinegar out just because it didn’t get the job done the first time. If smells persist, soak a sponge with pure vinegar, then dust it with some baking soda. Microwave on high for about 25 seconds. Then use the sponge to wipe down the inside of your microwave a second time. If wiping your microwave down a second time with pure vinegar and baking soda didn’t do the trick, grab some acetone-free nail polish remover. Soak some cotton pads or cotton balls in it. Use these to wipe down the inside of your microwave. Don’t leave these chemicals lingering in your microwave. Use a sponge to wash away the nail polish remover with dish soap. Then wipe down the inside again with a one part water to two parts vinegar mixture. Leave the door open so the microwave airs out.

Gestational diabetes occurs in women who are pregnant. If you're at higher risk, you may be tested during your first prenatal visit and then again in the second trimester. Women at low risk will be tested in the second trimester, between weeks 24 and 28. Women who experience gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes within ten years after the birth of their child. Risk factors include:  Pregnancy over the age of 25 Family or personal health history of diabetes or pre-diabetes Being overweight at the time of pregnancy (a BMI of 30 or more) Women who are black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, or Pacific Islander Third pregnancy or greater  Excessive intrauterine growth during pregnancy Pre-diabetes is a metabolic condition in which blood glucose (sugar) is higher than the normal range (70-99). Still, it's lower than recommended for treatment with medication to control blood glucose. The risk factors for pre-diabetes include:  Age 45 or older Being overweight Family history of type 2 diabetes Sedentary lifestyle High blood pressure A previous experience of gestational diabetes Having delivered a baby who was 9 pounds or greater This is sometimes referred to a “full-blown” diabetes. In this condition, the body's cells have become resistant to the influence of leptin and insulin. This increases your blood sugar levels and causes the symptoms and long-term side effects of the disease. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes are similar to those for pre-diabetes, and include:  Over 45 years of age Overweight Physical inactivity High blood pressure History of gestational diabetes Delivered a baby over 9 pounds Family history of diabetes Chronic stress  You are black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, or Pacific Islander Experts believe this condition is caused by a mix of genetic predisposition and environmental factors.  White people have a higher incidence of type 1 diabetes Cold weather and viruses may trigger the development of type 1 diabetes in susceptible people. Living in a cold region,...

Although doctors are not sure why some people develop diabetes, there are many different factors that can cause or contribute to diabetes. Being aware of your potential risk for diabetes helps you recognize the signs and can ensure you get a timely diagnosis and treatment. The following factors may increase your risk of type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes:  Family history Environmental factors, such as exposure to viral illness Presence of autoantibodies in the system, usually after a viral syndrome when the person is young Dietary factors, such as low vitamin D consumption or exposure to cow’s milk or cereals before the age of 4 months Geography, countries such as Finland and Sweden have higher rates of type 1 diabetes Weight, the more fat cells you have, the more resistant to insulin they become Sedentary lifestyle or inactivity, exercises helps control weight and insulin Race, certain groups such as Hispanics and African Americans are more prone to diabetes Age, your risk increases as you get older Polycystic ovary syndrome High blood pressure Abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels Metabolic syndrome Gestational diabetes and giving birth to a baby over 9 pounds can also increase your risk for type 2 diabetes Diabetes is a condition related to blood sugar, so some people might think it’s related to eating sugar. Eating sugar doesn’t cause diabetes — but if you are overweight then you can develop peripheral resistance to sugar; therefore, you have to cut down on the amount of refined sugars that you consume. Many symptoms of diabetes may not seem serious and aren’t necessarily specific to the disease, so it’s important to watch your bodily functions to detect potential signs. Identifying possible symptoms of diabetes can help you get a timely diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms of diabetes can include:  Increased thirst Increased hunger, especially after eating Dry mouth Frequent urination (sometimes more often at night) Unexplained weight loss Weakness or feeling tired Blurred vision Numbness or...

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

For most people, the fear of not having control of an outcome is the greatest deterrent to taking a risk. Intelligent risk-taking doesn’t mean approaching life with reckless abandon. It means being informed of the possible outcomes, weighing possibilities, and making informed decisions. Having confidence in yourself and your abilities — despite any outcome — helps you move forward with risk-taking.  Write a list of all possible risks associated with a situation, positive and negative. Write all outcomes or possibilities that come to mind. Denote positive and negative factors. Recognize that many of these won’t come true, and reflect on what you can handle if any one of them does happen. If you’re wondering whether to stay at your job or take a new job at a startup company, recognize that you don’t know the outcome of either position and cannot read into the future of your happiness. Instead, realize taking a new job is a risk and staying at your current job is also a risk. Weigh your options and abilities (commute, salary, type of work, co-workers), then make a decision. If you constantly fear being disappointed, chances are you will never take a risk. You may fear negative feedback or may feel like you can’t handle things going poorly. Realize that disappointment is relative, and that while there is a possibility of disappointment, positive outcomes can come of any situation. By fearing disappointment, you may begin living a life of regret, which is disappointment in different packaging. If you want to ask for a raise at work yet fear hearing the words “no” or negative feedback, go for it anyway. If nothing else, you open a conversation of a raise. Yes, you may receive negative feedback, but you also may hear that you are doing a terrific job. Getting out of your comfort zone means feeling increasingly more comfortable with uncertainty. Not knowing a situation’s outcome can bring about feelings of anxiety. Learning to feel more comfortable with uncertainty will help you cope with the inevitable change of...

Assessing your risk factors can put you in a better position to understand the symptoms, to recognize the condition and to better treat it. Assess if you have one or more of the following risk factors:  Gender and age: women tend to develop carpal tunnel syndrome more than men and it is most frequently diagnosed between the ages of 30 and 60. Occupation: having a job that requires a lot of use of your hands, such as factory or assembly line work, puts you at a greater risk for the syndrome. Underlying conditions: those with metabolic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, menopause, obesity, thyroid disorders, kidney failure, or diabetes have a greater chance at developing the condition. Lifestyle factors: smoking, high salt intake, sedentary lifestyle may increase your risk of carpal tunnel syndrome If you notice any of the following five symptoms in your wrist, hand, or arm, you might be developing or already suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome:  Tingling in the hand, fingers or wrist. Numbness in the hand, fingers or wrist. Swelling in the wrist. Pain in the hand, fingers or wrist. Weakness of the hand. Keeping track of your symptoms can put you in a better position to diagnose and treat the condition, should you have it. Your doctor can also diagnose the condition better if he/she has a more detailed history of the condition.  Symptoms generally show up gradually. Symptoms often first appear during the night. As the condition worsens, you’ll start to feel the symptoms during the day. Symptoms that do not go away with time (unlike in the case of a temporary injury) and gradually become worse as time moves forward. This is an easy test that can be used in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. There are several ways to test this. Try the following:  Sit at a table and place your elbows on the table. Let your wrist fall to maximal flexion to increase the pressure in the carpal tunnel. Hold this position for at least one minute. Another way to do the test is to place the backs of both hands together in front of...

Very large fish will require a substantial fight to land, and you may find it necessary to adjust your drag to wear it down. Try to keep the fish steered away from logs, brush, or other snags to keep him from becoming tangled, where you will almost certainly lose him. Bring it in a bit at a time, letting the gar wear itself out. Don't expend more energy than necessary bringing it in quickly. Never try to force even a smaller gar into the boat while it still has fight left in it. The alligator gar has been known to bite aggressively in self-defense.  For very large gar, it may be best to gill gaff them, so that the head (and teeth) can be steered away from occupants of the boat before bringing it aboard. A gill gaff is basically a pole with a sharp hook on the end, for snaring large fish beside the boat. Generally, a partner will hook the fish through the gills and under the backbone, probably wounding the fish mortally. If you want to hook a gar and release it, don't do this. Generally, fishermen don't recommend fishing for gar unless you intend to kill them. Bringing a live gar into the boat, or onto the shore, is extremely dangerous. Removing a treble hook from a mouth full of needle-like teeth requires a very long-nosed pair of pliers. Make sure the fish is beyond exhausted, and that you're wearing protective arm and hand gear if you attempt this.  Cutting the line will leave the treble hook embedded in the fish's mouth, leaving it little chance of survival. The alligator gar and many other freshwater predators are increasingly endangered. The best preservation policy with these fish is catch and release, so at least be aware of the difficulties of doing so if you want to hunt gar responsibly. Many southerners will tell you the preferred method of fishing for alligator gars is actually bow fishing, using a compound hunting bow and fishing arrows. Bow-fishing is much more exciting to many, as it combines fishing and hunting. Some fishermen will likewise bring along a .22 to finish off the gar when it gets...

Look at what you have that a girl could want. From good looks to a nice cash flow or a good car, you could be used for any number of things. You can also be used for your clout, whether it's being a big name on a small campus or even becoming moderately famous. Of course, you don't have to be a big deal to be used. You can be taken advantage of no matter who you are. For instance, if the relationship is always one-sided, such as you're always driving her everywhere, you could be being taken advantage of. See if she only seems interested in going out with you if you take her somewhere nice. Watch if she just wants to just go somewhere where she can be seen with you. She could also be just hanging around to meet certain co-workers. Keep an eye out if she's more interested in that than in just spending time with you. She could also be looking for a free ride, literally, or just someone who will be there when she needs something. That is, some women may use you by only calling when they want something. Maybe they want you to fix something or pick up something for them. Pay attention to when women call and how they talk on the phone with you. If she only calls every few weeks and seems to want a favor each time, she may not be that into you. If she only wants to chat you up at work, she may just be using you to get ahead. You can check by asking her out on a date, but be careful, since work relationships can be tricky. Similarly, if she works somewhere else but only calls you at work to ask work questions, she could just be using you.

Rating your hunger level on a scale may help you determine what to do — have a snack or wait for your next planned meal.  Try rating your hunger from one (almost faint with hunger) to 10 (overly full, sick feeling).  If you're hunger level is around a three or four, it may be time to eat.  If your next planned meal isn't for another two hours or more, have a planned snack.  If your next planned meal is within the next hour or so, try to wait until your meal to eat. Ideally, do not let yourself be at either extreme — starving at a level one or so full you're at a level 10.  Fluctuate between a four and seven. It's normal and expected to be hungry prior to eating meals and even right before going to bed in the evenings. This is a simple test that can help you figure out if you're experiencing physical hunger or emotional/head hunger.  In general, emotional hunger is a craving or desire for a very specific group of foods (like carbs) or a specific food (like chocolate cake).  Physical hunger will be satisfied with a wide array of food options.  Ask yourself would you still want this snack if it were only an apple, raw carrots or a salad? If the answer is yes, go for that apple (or other fruit or vegetable) or other healthy, planned snacks to truly nourish that physical hunger. If the answer is no, then the hunger/craving you are experiencing is probably not a physical hunger in your stomach, but instead an emotional hunger. If you've determined you're experiencing emotional hunger, this might be a good time to take a walk or take a 10 minute break and reflect on what may be bothering you. "  Before eating any meal or snack, take a minute or two to do a self scan.  This may give you clues about your hunger level and desire to eat.  Think about:  Your level of hunger.  Are you starving?  Are you full?  Are you satisfied? Take note of any physical signs of hunger.  Your stomach may be growling, you might feel an "emptiness" in your stomach or you might feel hunger pangs with physical hunger. You may feel irritable...

Ask yourself why you want to tell your parents you have an eating disorder. Is it so that they will treat you differently? Is it to ask for their support? Or do you need to ask if they will pay for you to see a mental health professional to help you overcome your disorder? When you have a sense of what your goals are, you can more readily steer the conversation in the way that you want it to go. Collect some reading material that explains what eating disorders are and how they are addressed.  The material should provide details about what people usually do in this matter. Print something off the internet or, if you have one, ask your counselor for some relevant pamphlets.  Your parents might not know much about what eating disorders are, so this way you can educate them with the most up-to-date information. Here is an option for some materials to review: http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/find-help-support Have in mind a private and quiet spot where you can have the conversation. If you have siblings and don't want them to be a part of the conversation, think about times of the week that you are home with your parents when your siblings are away.  If you have trouble finding alone time with your parents, create it. Ask them to step aside into a quiet room in your home for a private conversation. If you don't have such a room, suggest that you go sit with them at a quiet park to have the conversation. Before you have the conversation, try to calm yourself down. You may find yourself getting nervous before such a serious conversation with your parents. Breathe in through your mouth for five seconds, holding your breath for a few seconds, and then exhale through your nose for six or more seconds. Repeat this process until you find yourself to be in a calm and relaxed state. If you have a friend who has gone through a similar situation, or who has had a difficult conversation with their parents, try asking them for advice or social support. At the least it may help reduce stress; at best you will gain some...

When you've collected your research, identify the most persuasive arguments and sources and use them as a jumping off point for your own argument. If you found that districts with schools that feature vending machines experience a 30 percent higher obesity rate, how can you transition that into an argument to support with that research? What does the research say? from your research. A thesis statement is the central thing you hope to prove by presenting your research. It should be debatable and specific, giving you a road map for where the research essay or project might go. A good thesis statement helps the writer as much as the reader, because it gives you a tangible thing to prove with the writing. A bad thesis statement might be "Schools need to do more to avoid obesity." This is vague and difficult to prove. What schools? What do they need to do? "Adams High School could significantly drop the obesity rate in the student body and even the region by removing the vending machines and offering a diversity of healthy choices" does a lot more to present an argument and give you something to prove. How do you present your research in a readable way?  Paraphrase to translate a source into your own words. These should always be attributed, but not quoted, and are most effective when you need to briefly summarize a position or argument. You've still given credit to the author, so we know the observation isn't your own. In other words, you might write: According to Adams, schools that feature vending machines in the lunch rooms experience an increase in obesity rates.  Quote any language directly sourced from the article. This is effectively used when there's something in the wording of the source that you want to emphasize or highlight as part of your research: According to Adams, "The inclusion of vending machines markedly increases the junk food desires of students in those schools, resulting in a chain reaction that rewards their bad choices."

One of the biggest effects alcohol has on you is to limit your inhibitions. If you are typically worried about how people think about you, drinking may help you relax and stop worrying. This also means some of your base instincts may be revealed. If you are holding back a temper it may flare up out of control when you are intoxicated. If you know you have an issue like that, you need to work not only on your self-control, but also try to change your natural inclinations. If you are an angry drunk, you may find that you tend to be mad during the day. If that's the case and you want to act sober, you may consider anger management classes. There it's possible to learn techniques to avoid becoming angry in the first place. When your judgement is impaired by alcohol, your sober friends may be able to tell your state by your tells. Ask them to recount changes in your behavior. See if they would be willing to give you examples. Commit these changes of behavior to memory. You will need to work on hiding them to act sober. One way to ask your friends about your drunken behavior is to ask what type of drunk you are. Even if they do not have specific examples of your odd behavior they may have an overarching sense of how you are. Happy drunks tend to be very jovial the more alcohol they consume. Angry drunks tend to be mean and problematic. There are many other types but this would get the conversation going. You likely know how you normally behave too. If you record yourself when you are drunk, you may see more than your friends do. This could allow you to confirm your friends' observations if you think they are unbelievable. Furthermore, you will have clear documentation of your odd behavior. This will give you a good starting point when trying to identify your tells. You don't have to do this by yourself or even much of the time. You may have a friend record you with their phone when you aren't looking. You may even use your phone to take an audio recording to see how you sound later when you are sober. If you don't...

Often, when you figure out what your insecurities or challenges are, you will be able to build them into strengths, which will prohibit feelings of jealousy. While it isn’t an easy task to examine yourself for your flaws, it must be done.  Remind yourself that you are more than just your insecurities. Try to keep a positive mindset while identifying areas in which you are insecure. Remind yourself of things you do feel confident in or like about yourself. Remember that you can change any insecurity into a strength with time and effort. For example, perhaps you are lonely and want to make more friends, but you are not outgoing. Practice being outgoing and friendly toward strangers and eventually you will have turned your shyness into friendliness and you’ll have made new friends. . Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself as a person. There are many ways to work on your self-esteem including, but not limited to:  Recognizing your strengths. Are you good at school? Do you excel at sports? Are you a fair listener or a trusted secret keeper for your friends? Actively engaging in activities you are good at can remind you of your strengths and build self-esteem. Keeping a list of every compliment you received over the course of a week. Read over these compliments when you are feeling insecure. Working on your challenges. Perhaps you are terrible at bowling and your best friend is a good bowler. You can improve your bowling through practice. It's easier to become jealous of people around you if you aren't happy with yourself. Feelings of inadequacy increase the likelihood that you will experience jealousy. You can find happiness in yourself by doing following:  Focusing on internal strengths. When you focus on external factors, such as popularity or earning potential, those things could shift and your self-esteem could crumble. When you focus on internal factors, your self-esteem is built on a much more stable foundation and you will be happier with yourself. Practicing daily intentions. Remind yourself that you...

Before you begin planning to work as a freelance artist, you first need to honestly assess your abilities. Taking an objective view of your skills can help you decide if freelancing is the right option for you.  An excellent way to assess your skills is to compare your work to other artists who use similar mediums in your area. Is your work comparable or better? You can’t expect to be successful if you can’t compete.  Do you frequently have people asking or complimenting you about your work? If so, this might be a good sign that your skills are in demand, especially because word of mouth can be a powerful advertising tool.  Would you be willing to spend money on your creations? If you don’t offer something people—or you—might want, you’re likely to not be a successful freelance artist. Consider how having a freelance business will fit into your lifestyle and even that of your family. Knowing whether or not the time, emotional, and physical demands fit in with your lifestyle is important if you want to run a successful business.  Are you able to handle the physical demands? Depending on what type of artist you are, you may need to stand or sit hunched over a canvas for long hours. Think about if being a freelance artist fits your personality. Client management is a significant part of the job and if you don’t like working with people, this may not be the right choice for you. You will need to allot specific times to work and find a space to work and meet with clients. Are you willing to structure your time and possibly rent an office?  You will not have benefits or paid sick time as a freelancer.  You may also want to consider your location. If you are in an isolated region, it may be difficult to capture potential clients or for them to reach you. Freelance artists earn on average about $44,000 per year. This amount can change depending on how often and where you work. Only proceed with your plans if the average pay or below meets your financial needs.  The average salary for a freelance artist works out to...

Ask yourself a series of questions about how you performed over the semester in order to analyze what went well and what didn’t go so well.  What did you end up doing differently after deciding to raise your grades?  Did any of it work?  How much did your grades improved, if at all?  What did you find worked really well for you, and what did you find worked really badly for you?  Is there anything you’d like to do differently next time? Think about the study methods you took on that really helped and make sure you build them into your permanent repertoire. Think about what didn’t work and why it didn’t work.  Maybe you tried to study at home and found it was more distracting than you’d like, etc.  Make sure to avoid these items in the future. Buy yourself an academic calendar and/or a large wall-mounted white-board calendar.  Clean up the space you intend to use for studying, remove anything you don’t need (books, magazines, comics, etc.) and organize the things you do need (pens, pencils, highlighters, sticky notes, etc.)  Make your study space a distraction-free zone.  Organize your study materials in a way that makes sense to you and allows you to find things quickly.  Have a separate notebook or binder for each class you're taking and label them appropriately. Have pens and highlighters of different colours to signify different things in your notes and textbooks.  For example, blue might mean examples, whereas yellow means definitions. Turn your cell phone or tablet off while studying.  And if you're not using it, turn the wi-fi off on your computer while studying.  Don't give into the temptation to check your email or text messages! If you’re serious about improving your grades, your teachers will help.  Ask them their advice on what to focus on in their class and what methods of studying work best for their material.  Ask them if you can review assignments with them before you hand them in.  Keep track of your teachers’ contact information and office hours in a centralized location.  Each week review...

Although hernias can happen to anyone, certain factors might put you at a higher risk for herniation. These may be chronic conditions, or they may pass with time — for example, if you have a bad cough. Risk factors for hernias include:  Increased abdominal pressure Coughing Heavy lifting Constipation Pregnancy Obesity Advancing age Smoking Steroid use A hernia is an imperfection in the muscular container of an organ. Because of this imperfection, the organ is pushed through an opening, resulting in a hernia. As the organ comes through the opening, it will create a swollen area or bulge in the skin. A hernia often gets bigger when you are standing or when you are straining. The site of the swollen area may vary depending on what kind hernia you have. The terms for different hernia types refer either to the location or the cause of the hernia.  Inguinal - These are hernias occurring in the inguinal region (between the hip bone and crotch) or groin. Umbilical - Occur around the belly button Femoral - Occur along the inner thighs Incisional - Occur when incisions from prior surgeries create weak points in an organ's muscular container Diaphragmatic or hiatal - Occur when there's a congenital defect in the diaphragm If the hernia affects your intestine, it can change or even block the flow of food through your digestive system. This can cause an intestinal back-up that results in nausea and vomiting. If the intestine is not completely blocked, you may just see milder symptoms, like nausea without vomiting or decreased appetite. You may experience constipation if you suffer from an inguinal or femoral hernia low in the body. Constipation is, in essence, the exact opposite of vomiting. When the flow of feces is blocked, you may experience constipation -- instead of it all coming out, it stays in. Needless to say, this symptom necessitates immediate surgical intervention. Hernias can be very serious when they interfere with the functions your body needs in order to survive. If you are experiencing any constipation,...


Оцените свои чувства в момент речи. Тренируйтесь говорить с уверенностью. Соотносите громкость голоса с ситуацией.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Perhaps you feel self-conscious about speaking in front of people. Maybe you are uncomfortable with coming across as assertive or confrontational. Analyze your own thought patterns, and consider that you may need to work on more than just your speaking voice. Own your words, and don't be afraid of what anyone else thinks. Notice when you are being hesitant, and check the impulse in yourself. Try to overcome a fear of judgment.  Try not to apologize or hedge the things you say. If you are always hesitating, then you won't speak as loudly as you are able. Speak to a person as though he or she is your equal, not your superior. Try to suppress low self-esteem and "fake it until you make it." When you are having a conversation or speaking with a group of people, try to speak at roughly the same volume that they are. Be aware of the energy of the conversation. Speak loudly when the energy is high, and speak softly when the energy is low. You don't always need to speak loudly to be heard!

Once you get over the initial grief of losing this person, it is a good time for a truthful look at your former relationship. Start by recognizing what existed. If you have lost the loved one because of death and are trying to move forward with your life, you may discover that you have idealized your relationship with your loved one, overlooking the times that weren’t so great in favor of the times that were. You are not dishonoring your loved one by recalling these less than ideal times. You are, instead, remembering the real and true person. If love existed between you, then part of what made the love so special was all of the in-between moments, and the ways you were able to work through differences.  Don’t place this person unnecessarily on a pedestal in death. Holding him up so high can keep you from holding him close in your heart and moving forward, which is not what he wanted for you. If, your loss was relational rather than from someone passing, the same applies. Your relationship was not perfect. If it had been, you wouldn’t be trying to move on. Even if they were the one to cut things off, it still reveals some frailty to the relationship, and that is okay. Your relationship, like most, probably had a series of high and low moments. If you were not the one to end the relationship, you may find yourself idolizing it a bit. It is okay to look back and remember the good times. But it’s important to be realistic. There were not-so-good times as well. Appreciate the positive aspects of the relationship, and how the other person contributed to who you are now. It’s important to acknowledge the characteristics of the relationship that brought out the worst of you. This doesn’t mean that the other person was bad. But it can show you that there were some toxic elements when you were together. Once you have recognized these toxic elements, you can appreciate the chance to “detoxify” a bit. This will give you a chance to work on avoiding those pitfalls in other relationships. It will also help reframe your...

You may be uncomfortable perpetuating the Santa story or feel discomfort about lying to your child, and those are legitimate concerns shared by many. On the other hand, you may want your child to believe in something whimsical and magical, like Santa. How to deal with the Santa Claus story is a personal decision that can only be made by your family. Remember, though, that even if you do not share the Santa story in your own family, your child might still come to you with tricky questions about Santa. Perhaps they heard something at school or they have thought about the Santa story and it doesn't completely make sense. Acknowledge the question and praise them for their critical thinking. This is actually a positive developmental step. Determining their reason for asking will help you figure out the best way to proceed.  You might give this question some thought before it ever comes up, so that you are not caught completely off guard. This will help you respond more thoughtfully and slowly, rather than be reactionary. Ask your child very plainly, "Why do you ask?" or "Where is this question coming from?". Just because the child is asking questions doesn't necessarily mean that they are emotionally ready to believe the truth. They may just be curiously probing. Asking what your child believes will give you an idea of where they are emotionally and cognitively. If your child indicates that they still believe in Santa, despite any outside doubts, it's likely not time to tell them the truth yet. Respond to your child's question with a simple, "Well, what do you believe?" This allows them to reflect on what they think and whether or not they believe in Santa Claus. When your child answers your question about what they believe, they will tell you that they don't think Santa is real, or that they do but that they have questions.  This answer should guide how you proceed and you can either tell them the truth about Santa or let them continue to believe. They may also say that they do believe the story of Santa Claus,...

The first step to moving into your own place is figuring out what you can afford. If you have a job lined up, look at how much you’ll be making and compare it with your expected expenses. Figure out how much you can afford to spend on rent and still have money to spare for other things. A generally good rule is that your annual (yearly) income should be 40 times the monthly rent. For example, if your rent is 550 then you should probably make at least 22,000 a year or more.    Keep in mind that you may need to save a little extra money for the initial move. Most apartments require a security deposit (usually equal to the rent amount). A lot of places also require first month's rent, and sometimes even last month's rent depending on the landlord. You may also need to pay for a moving van or a professional moving service. Some apartments have income requirements for their tenants (e.g., you must earn 3 times the cost of rent each month). If you can’t meet those income requirements, you might be able to get around them by using a cosigner. In addition to rent, common living expenses include transportation costs (e.g., gas and car maintenance), groceries and dining, home utilities (e.g., water, electricity, gas, Internet, and TV), and your phone bill. You may also have other expenses, such as student loan payments or credit card payments. Not all apartments are created equal. Before you start apartment hunting, think about your needs, and make a list of features you really want or need your new home to have. Prioritize the must-haves, and then make a list of features that you want, but don’t necessarily need. Consider things like:  The monthly rent payment If the utilities are included in the rent The size of the apartment Which floor the apartment is on If the apartment is furnished If the apartment is pet-friendly Parking availability Building security Amenities (e.g., laundry facilities and common areas) In addition to thinking about the apartment itself, you’ll also need to consider the area where your future...


Оцените свой внутренний диалог. Правильно реагируйте на социальные ситуации. Спрашивайте мнение со стороны. Следите за реакциями на конфликты.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Do you pay attention to the constant conversation going on in your own head? Self-talk is either productive and positive or negative and detrimental to your well-being. Focusing on your self-determined negative qualities will keep you in a state of insecurity. Harshly judging yourself does no good for anyone.  Avoid harshly judging yourself because it produces an unfair representation of you. Picking on yourself is detrimental to your mood, motivation and outlook on life.  Look in the mirror each morning and tell yourself three things you like about yourself. The more you point out the positive, the more likely it is that you will build confidence and hush your insecure self-talk. Your negative self-talk may make it difficult for you to speak up for yourself. Positive self-talk will build your ability to speak up for yourself. There are certain social situations that cause people to feel anxious and insecure. Perhaps you struggle to mingle at parties, talking in front of others or walking down the main hall at school. Sometimes when people don't feel confident or well-versed in a skill, they can feel unsure. The good news is, you can learn to identify and resolve these issues.  Social situations may trigger thoughts and feelings that you are not doing the right thing at the right time and you don’t want to be embarrassed. Use visualization techniques to calm yourself. Visualize yourself being comfortable simply observing and enjoying the experience. Seek professional help for social anxiety, which will help you examine and challenge the thoughts that are distorting the reality of the situation, and help build healthy self-esteem.  Your insecurities may be manifesting in social situations as bullying behaviors. This is an attempt to control situations to avoid feeling insecure. Find other ways to create success in your life such as cooperating with others rather than forcing your opinion upon them. Notice if you feel uncomfortable expressing your needs and desires to others, which can lead to resentment and...

Rating your anger can help you realize what type of events make you angry and the degree they make you angry. Some events might cause mild irritation, while others might trigger you to blow your top.  You don’t need an official anger scale. You can make your own; for instance, you can rate your anger on a scale of one to ten, or zero to one hundred. If you feel that you’re getting angry pretty regularly, it might help to keep track of the situations that anger you. You can track the degree to which they anger you, and what else was happening at the time. You can also keep track of how you react when you’re angry, as well as how other people react to your anger. Think about the following questions when keeping an anger journal:  What provoked the anger? Rate your anger. What thoughts occurred as you got angry? How did you react? How did others react to you? What was your mood right before it happened? What symptoms of anger did you feel in your body? How did you react? Did you want to leave, or act out (such as bang the door or hit something or someone), or did you say something sarcastic? What were your emotions immediately after the incident? What were your feelings a few hours after the episode? Was the episode resolved? Keeping track of this information will help you learn what situations and triggers you have to your anger. Then you can work to avoid those situations when possible, or predict when these situations occur if they are unavoidable. It will also help you track the progress you make at handling situations that anger you. A trigger is something that happens or that you experience that brings on an emotion or a memory. Some common triggers for anger are:  Not being able to control other’s actions Other people disappointing you for not meeting your expectations. Not being able to control daily life events, such as traffic. Someone trying to manipulate you. Getting mad at yourself for a mistake. Anger can become a big problem if your anger causes you to act aggressively towards other people. When...


Оцените свой круг общения. Будьте благодарны друзьям, которые поддерживают вас. Попробуйте систематическую десенсибилизацию (поведенческую терапию). Разберитесь со своими страхами и измените привычки. Составьте список, чтобы отследить свое поведение.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Consider  leaving behind friends who keep you focused on the past.  The social environment we live is an essential part of what defines both who we are. It also affects how we incorporate unresolved past experiences into our lives.  Spend some time thinking (or maybe writing in your journal) about the people you spend time with and how they make you feel. If there are people in your life who make you feel bad or reinforce negative habits, consider spending less time with them. For example, people who constantly put you down may not be good to have in your life. Friends who make it difficult for you to do what you need to do to incorporate difficult past experiences can also be a problem. Consider making new friends, or at least initiating a change of scenery. This isn’t always easy, but can be a great way to force you out of your comfort zone and grow as a person. It's a good idea to try new hobbies with your new companions. When you're ready, start to push the boundaries of your comfort zone by joining a local sports team or art class. New directions for your life will gradually emerge that might not have otherwise seemed possible. Don't upset yourself by thinking about people who did not respect and appreciate you. Instead, concentrate on those who stick by your side. Let them know you appreciate their help.  It can be hard not to dwell on negativity. But, your supportive friends are the ones who deserve your attention. Keep good friends close by during this time. Having a supportive community of people around you will help you stay strong. It will allow you to feel confident enough to engage with unresolved past experiences or difficult emotions without feeling alone. When you feel like you're slipping, try spending some time around someone you trust who can help keep you on the right track.  If you feel that you are going to fall back into a bad habit, or are on the verge of despair, call a trusted friend and ask if he or she can meet you for coffee or swing by your house. Having someone around can help...


Оцените свой образ жизни и привычки в употреблении алкоголя. Оцените свою цель. Заявите о своей цели. Устраните алкоголь из своей жизни. Получите поддержку извне.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

While many people can consume alcohol occasionally with no trouble, some develop a dangerous addiction. If you've experienced one or more of the following symptoms, you may be an alcoholic and should consider quitting drinking.  Drinking in the morning. Drinking alone. Feelings of guilt after drinking. Making attempts to hide your drinking from others. You have difficulty stopping yourself once you have one drink. You've experienced withdrawal symptoms after not drinking for several hours, including sweating, shaking, anxiety, and nausea. After you've decided that you should cut back on alcohol or quit altogether, you need to set a concrete goal.  If your goal is to quit completely, write out "I will stop drinking alcohol on this date." Set a specific date on which you will quit. This will give you a tangible target to aim for. Perhaps you don't want to quit entirely, but for health reasons you decide you'd like to only drink on Friday and Saturday. This is called "harm reduction." Write out a goal like, "As of this date, I will only drink on Fridays and Saturdays." Again, it is important to set a concrete date for when this will start. Build up your ability to be aware of how many drinks you have consumed and how you are feeling in a given amount of time. Rather than choosing how many drinks to allow yourself, increase your ability to be aware of when you are drinking too quickly or drinking more when around strangers. The more you know about your drinking, the better you will be able to control it. If you only plan on reducing your intake, you may or may not need a full detox. Depending on how heavily you currently drink, detox may still be necessary. Any significant reduction in an addictive substance can lead to withdrawal. Let the people around you know of your plans. This way, you can start building your support system for when you begin detoxing.  Let the people around you know what you will require of them. It may be as simple as asking them to not offer you drinks, or you may need them to not drink...


Оцените свой опыт, квалификацию и навыки. Определите, нужно ли вам дополнительное образование, курсы или сертификаты. Подумайте о других препятствиях, с которыми вы можете столкнуться.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your next career path should maximize the things you're good at, and give you an opportunity to enjoy your work, while also providing financial security for your later years.  The majority of people entering an "encore career" later in life go into the fields of education, healthcare, government, and non-profit. Of course, these are not your only options, but great places to get started in your search. As you weigh your options, check out this helpful wikiHow page for help choosing the right second career. Major career changes might require additional qualifications that you don't currently have, and if the process is very costly or time consuming, you need to determine whether the payoff will be worth it.  For example, if you do not already hold an advanced degree but decide to become a university professor, you will have to go through five or more years of graduate school (which can cost tens of thousands of dollars) followed by six or more years in the tenure track before you obtain job security. Depending on your age, it may not be feasible or practical to accrue debt in order to switch careers. Other career changes, such as a change from teaching to school administration, may only require a certification exam and license. Entering a new career at an older age can have unexpected drawbacks and challenges, and these can vary by industry, so be sure you talk with a trusted adviser about the field you are considering.  Prepare for possible discrimination in the hiring process. While age-based discrimination is illegal, it is still common. Job ads are often coded to indicate that the company seeks a younger employee, using language like "energetic" or "fresh" as code for "young." Some places routinely hire only young employees, such as Facebook, whose employees have a median age of 28.  Even when you land the job, you are likely to be perceived as less technologically advanced simply because of your age. You can mitigate some of this concern by polishing up your digital presence and taking courses at the...

Eating too many salty foods may cause your fingers to swell. Some of the foods that are highest in sodium include highly processed foods, such as:  Canned soups Deli meats Frozen pizza Soy sauce Cottage cheese Olives Injury is one of the most common culprits. Liquids such as blood accumulate in the affected area, causing swelling. Treat an injury first by applying cold (this will constrict the blood vessels), then by applying heat (this will help flush out the fluids). If your bruise or injury lasts longer than 2 weeks, symptoms get more severe or frequent, or signs of skin infection develop, talk to your doctor immediately. When your body encounters something that it's allergic to, it released histamines into your bloodstream. In order to reduce the swelling, you can take antihistamines. If you experience severe difficulty in breathing after an allergic reaction, consult a doctor immediately. Obesity causes the body's lymphatic system to slow down, resulting in edema in the hands and feet. Talk with a doctor or dietician to come up with a weight-loss plan if you believe your swelling may be the result of obesity. Your hands might be experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome or cellulitis, for example. Some bacterial infections that affect the hands get into the blood stream and lymph nodes, so it's important to talk to your doctor if you suspect any infection.

Taking the time to think about your personality and evaluate your shyness can help you gain the self awareness necessary to market yourself effectively. Once you know how shy you are and which situations seem to exacerbate the problem, you can prepare yourself to handle challenges. Ask yourself:  Have I always been shy? Am I shy both at work and away from work? Is my shyness related mostly to the job search itself? Was I considered a shy person in my last position? If your answers to the questions above suggest that most of your shyness is related to finding a job – marketing yourself, handling interviews, meeting potential employers and colleagues, and the like – then understand that preparing for these specific situations can help you overcome the problem. If your shyness seems to be a generalized personality trait, not a manifestation of anxiety about the job search, then you’ll have to think about your strengths and weaknesses and decide how to proceed. You do not need to become an extrovert to find a job. You can work to step outside of your comfort zone while focusing on finding a job that fits your strengths and weaknesses. By understanding your abilities, you can determine which jobs might be a good match for your skills. Consider your strongest personality traits and your most relevant work-related skills, and go from there. If, for example, you are an extremely detail-oriented person and an analytical thinker, and you have experience preparing complete financial reports, you might decide that a financial analyst position is right for you.

Most people’s critical thinking skills and creativity are strongest in the morning. However, they tend to decrease as the day progresses. If this is how you are, then schedule your “big thinking” activities, like writing, for instance, in the morning. However, maybe you do your most creative work at night. Neither time is wrong. It’s all about coming up with an effective timetable that suits you and your needs. If you’re like most, your energy has dissipated somewhat by the afternoon. If so, then this is a good time to do more boring, routine tasks. Things you don’t have to think much about basically. Think about spending this time of day for setting appointments, running errands, answering brief emails, etc. For many, evenings are good for planning and preparing for the next day. Your “get ready” tasks might include packing lunches, laying out your clothes, and spending time straightening up and de-cluttering. Choose to spend 30 minutes a day on writing that novel, organizing your garage or learning how to garden. Moving a little towards your goal each day will help you in developing the good habits to maintain it. This is because you’ll be on autopilot. Essentially anything you do on a regular basis, good or bad, eventually becomes a habit. How does it feel? Did you schedule your activities at times that made sense? Do you need to adjust things? Change anything that is not working on a case-by-case basis. You don’t have to wait until the end of the week or month. Adjust little by little every few days until it feels workable to you. You will also need to probably make big and small changes to it every month, as the only thing that’s certain in life is change.

Before you make the decision to go out looking for love, take some time to consider whether or not you are really ready. There are many reasons why you may not be ready to fall in love, but some of the most common ones include:  Recently got out of a relationship. If you have recently gotten out of a relationship and you are still working through feelings of loss, then looking for love might not be a good idea just yet. If you are not fully over your old relationship, then you may have a hard time entering into a new one. Give yourself more time if you need it. Not sure who you are or what you want. Knowing who you are and what you want out of life is essential to a healthy log-term relationship. If you are still not sure what you want your life to look like 5, 10, or 20 years from now, then you may want to take some time to figure that out. Spend some time getting to know yourself before you go looking for love.  You are dealing with depression or another serious mental health condition. If you are looking at falling in love as a way to overcome feelings of loneliness and depression, you may want to reconsider. When falling in love does not work out, it can cause feelings of emotional stress and depression. Therefore, you may not be able to handle a potential letdown if you are already depressed. If you think you are depressed or dealing with some other type of mental health problem, talk to a therapist and get yourself well. Physical attraction is not everything, but it is important that you look and feel your best in order to attract someone. Make sure that you are taking care of your basic needs, such as diet, exercise, sleep, and grooming, before you go looking for love.  Visit a salon or barber shop for a haircut if you haven’t had one in a while. Buy yourself some new clothes if yours are worn or outdated. Work on getting healthy by improving your diet and exercising more. Make sure that you are giving yourself enough time to rest and relax each day. It is common for people to become so wrapped up in a...

Poor posture frequently causes or exacerbates lower back pain by placing more pressure on the lumbar region of your spine. Stand sideways in a natural position in front of a mirror and check the position of your back. If you are hunched over, or have a pronounced arch in your spine, you may find relief by adjusting your posture.  Hold your pelvis level, not pitched forward or back. Lower your shoulders so that your shoulder blades are tucked in along either side of your spine. Lift the crown of your head toward the ceiling. Sit up straight in a chair and squeeze your shoulder blades together, then relax. Repeat 10 to 15 times. Do this exercise several times a day to help improve your posture. If you sit for hours on end at a desk job, that may be contributing to your lower back pain. Every half hour or so, stand up and walk around for about 5 minutes. This simple effort alone can help decrease your lower back pain.  If possible, convert your work station so that you can work while standing part of the time. If your boss won't go for that, see if you can upgrade your chair to one that provides more lower back support. Make sure you're sitting straight with your feet flat on the floor, your shoulders back, and your head straight. Slouching or hunching over can put additional stress on your lower back, causing pain. Some foods can alleviate lower back pain, while other foods and drinks can exacerbate it. Potassium-rich foods such as bananas and leafy greens may provide some lower back pain relief.  Lower back pain may be caused by constipation. High fiber foods, including fruits and vegetables, can help alleviate constipation and get you back on track. Make sure you're drinking at least 8 ounces of water a day, since dehydration can also play a role in lower back pain. Avoid processed sugar, aspartame, refined grains, caffeinated beverages (particularly sodas), and alcohol. Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep often goes hand-in-hand with chronic lower back pain. Often a few simple tweaks to your nighttime...

Is there a legitimate reason that you feel like you may be fired?  Look for evidence at the office that may suggest your job is in peril.  If you can’t find any, then it’s likely that your fears are all in your head and you have nothing to worry about.  Some signs that your employer might be preparing to let you go include:  Your workload subsides. There’s new management that wants to take the company in a new direction. Your manager is suddenly avoiding you. You’re no longer asked to attend important meetings. Your boss is hyper-critical of your work. If you can’t find any concrete proof that your job is at risk, try to find the source of your fears.  Your fears may be the result of past personal experiences.  Identifying the cause of irrational fear can be the first step in mitigating it.  Were you blindsided when you were let go from a former employer without notice? Did you watch a friend or family member go through a painful time after losing a job? Do you see being fired as a poor evaluation of your self-worth? If you feel like your fear of being fired is reasonable, see how your co-workers feel about their own job security.  You may be surprised to find out that many of them have the same worries you do.  Some employers do use the fear of being fired in a misguided attempt to keep their employees in line.  If you feel like your company is manipulating you, you may want to start searching for a new place to work. Don’t complain to your co-workers.  It could get back to your boss. Politely ask your boss for a private meeting to discuss your concerns.  Let your boss know that you care about your position and want to perform your duties to the best of your ability.  Your boss will likely be impressed by your initiative and may be able to put your mind at ease.  Offer to take on extra projects that could lighten your boss’ work load. Realize the treatment from your boss is rarely personal.  Your boss is likely focused on the big picture of your company growth rather than your performance. Bring in a list of...

If your current job makes you unhappy, ask yourself why that is. A problem with the work itself will be difficult to remedy without a career change, but a problem with the conditions of your job is usually a bit easier to solve. Talk to your boss about altering your responsibilities and tasks. Ask if the work you do can be tailored more toward your passions and skills, and discuss ways to ultimately improve your productivity. If you feel overworked or overwhelmed, your boss might be able to rearrange your responsibilities in a way that will allow you to produce higher quality work in a more comfortable environment. Similarly, if you feel unchallenged at work, most bosses will be happy to assign you more challenging tasks. If you can no longer stand to do the work required of you within the department you currently work in, find out if there is another department within the company that you can work in, instead. In doing so, you can essentially get a completely different job without dramatically jeopardizing your job security. Research the prospect before you bring it to your boss's attention. Find out if there are any other areas of the company you are qualified to work in, and pay close attention to departments and teams in need of new help that you could offer. Some of the biggest problems people face on the job are related to co-workers. There are some people you will always have to work with, but discuss the matter with your boss and ask to spend more time working away from those people and more time working with people you can stand.  Working with new co-workers can be a good idea from time to time even if you get along with the ones you currently work with. Doing so can make you view your work from a different perspective. When you do find people you can work with remarkably well, collaborate with them as often as possible. Workplace friendships can be risky, but they can also be very rewarding. Keep an eye out for a co-worker you can get along with and talk to easily. Build your friendship with that...

These shortcomings can guide you in recognizing areas in your life in which you would like to direct more time, energy, and resources to improving. A great self-assessment resource is the Life Values Self-Assessment that you can find by doing a quick Google search. This assessment allows you to rank your core values by order of importance in order to determine which are most relevant to you having a fulfilling life. There is a reason that making the changes that you want are hard, and why they haven't already been made. Try to figure out what is holding you back, be it a lack of time or willpower. The problem will be much easier to tackle if you understand the source of the resistance.  Sit down and make a list of all the things you think are standing in the way of you making a change in your life. Be honest with yourself. Many of these obstacles will probably be inner sources of resistance that only you have power over. For example, maybe you are afraid of change. Or, maybe you lack confidence in your ability to change. Carefully examine your situation to determine what you are up against. Even when we have all the makings of a truly wonderful life, it can still suck if we look back and regret all the chances we didn’t take. Perhaps you had the chance to relocate for a dream job on the other side of the world. Or, you were undecided as to whether you should propose to your college sweetheart. If you truly want to make serious life changes, you will need to learn how to spot good opportunities and pounce on them before they disappear.  Opportunity looks different depending on your unique values and goals. In general, it’s presented as a chance to do something meaningful, challenging, or scary. The challenging part is why so many people let opportunities pass them by. They don’t usually come wrapped up in a bow—they require us to...


Оцените себя. Подумайте, чего вы добились в жизни? Сосредоточьтесь на положительных мыслях и образах. Поставьте себе несколько целей и подумайте, чего вы ожидаете от них. Пока вы этого не добились, имитируйте это! Не бойтесь рисковать, если риск оправдан. Помогайте другим. Заботьтесь о себе и своем здоровье. Забудьте о совершенстве и идеале! Будьте настойчивым.

If you chronically lack confidence, it's probably very easy for you to catalogue your faults and failures, but what about acknowledging your positives? For most people, this is a lot more challenging.  Researchers have found that self-esteem is comprised of both cognitive factors, such as positive memories you have of yourself and your behavior, and self-evaluation, or how positively you evaluate your current attitudes and behaviors. Make a list of everything you like about yourself - your qualities and skills that make you you.  It can help to actually sit down and write out a list as things come to you. Grab a notebook or journal and set a timer for 20-30 minutes. Journaling is a good way to continually maintain and open conversation with yourself about who you are and want to be. It's a way to prompt self-reflection and self-discovery and may help you realize things about yourself that you didn't really know.  Think also about some areas you'd like to improve, such as assertiveness or self-confidence. Contemplate not only what you feel, but why you feel the way you do. Begin to understand your true self, and allow it to exist. If you're not as good at handling some things as you are at others—for example, maybe you feel confident and capable until other people are thrown into a situation, such as in a relationship or at work—acknowledging all facets of yourself is the first step to transformation. Chances are that you are not giving yourself enough credit for everything that you've done throughout your life. Take some time to reflect and look back at your past glories from big to small—things that you've done that you feel proud of. This will help validate your place in the world and the value you bring to the people and society around you and, in this way, build your self-confidence. Research shows that part of building self-esteem is having a solid schema of positive memories about your past accomplishments and abilities. If you begin to accept that you have been a bright, hopeful, confident person in...


Оцените серьезность воспламенения. Немедленно отключите плиту. Накройте пламя металлической крышкой. Небольшое пламя засыпьте пищевой содой. В качестве последнего средства воспользуйтесь порошковым химическим огнетушителем.

If the fire is still small and contained to one pot, it is safe to extinguish it by yourself. If it's beginning to spread to other parts of the kitchen, get everyone assembled outside and dial for emergency services. Do not place yourself in the way of harm. Call emergency services if you're too afraid to go near the fire or don't know what to do. Do not risk life and limb to save a kitchen. This is your first priority, given that a grease fire needs heat to stay alive. Leave the pot where it is, and don't attempt to move it, as you may accidentally splash burning oil on yourself or your kitchen. If you have time, put on an oven mitt first to protect your skin. Fire needs oxygen to continue, so covering it with a metal lid will essentially smother the flame. Place a metal pan lid or a cookie sheet on top of the fire. Do not use glass lids; they can shatter when exposed to fire. Also avoid using ceramic lids, bowls and plates for this purpose. These can explode and become dangerous shrapnel. Baking soda will put out small grease fires, but won't work as effectively on larger ones. It will take a large amount of baking soda to get the job done, so grab the whole box and dump it generously on the flames until they're extinguished.  Table salt will also work. If you can get your hands on that faster, use salt. Do not using baking powder, flour or anything other than baking soda or salt for this. If you have a Class B or K dry chemical fire extinguisher on hand, this can put out a grease fire. Since the chemicals will contaminate your kitchen and be tough to clean up, only do this as a last resort. However, if it's the last line of defense before the fire gets out of control, don't hesitate!

Check to see if the burn is a first, second, or third-degree burn. If the burn was caused by chemicals, an electrical shock, or molten tar or plastic, understand that burn will require different first aid than a burn caused by a thermal source such as fire.  First-degree burns only impact the top layer of skin. These burns do no blister. Though they may be painful, they often heal in under a week, and do not scar. Second-degree burns extend beneath the top layer of the skin into the dermis. These burns usually blister, and cause pink, moist injuries that may heal with some scarring. Third-degree burns extend all the way through the dermis. They may or may not have blisters, and often appear white, brown, bright red, or black. They may or may not peel. When evaluating people with severe body burns, you have to assess the burn damage.  This is accomplished by the rule of 9’s.  This helps guide clinical decisions such as fluid resuscitation and pain control.  Clinicians use this in severe traumatic third degree burns over a large surface area of the body. No matter what type of burn a person is experiencing, the first step in treating it is to smother or remove the burning agent. This means putting out the fire, or otherwise removing any hot liquid, steam, chemicals, or electrical components from the person’s skin.  If a person has contact with fire, get them out of the way of the fire source. If necessary, help them “stop, drop, and roll” to extinguish the flames. Chemicals should be removed with care. Gloves and protection for the eyes, mouth, and nose should be worn while handling chemicals that may cause burning. Never put an alkali on an acid burn, and never put an acid on an alkali burn.  Use copious amounts of water to dilute the alkali or acid/chemical burn. Electrical components should be handled with care, as well. If possible, allow a professional to intervene in the situation. In most situations, it is unlikely that you will have to pull someone away from an active electrical component. Remove any...

Pay attention to how long the muscle twitches are lasting. Most muscle twitches are short lived and do not impact your quality of life. However, if you are having strong twitches or you are having twitching often or constantly, you should think about getting a medical evaluation. Track the frequency of the twitches. If they are happening daily and are lasting more that a minute or two, and you have no exacerbating factors, such as stress, then you should contact your doctor. If you have long lasting muscle twitches that are impacting your quality of life and are not stopping, contact your doctor and get a check up. While rare, there are some serious illnesses that can cause muscle twitching, and you will want to rule them out as the cause of your twitching. Your doctor will likely do a general medical evaluation and then run specialized testing if they think there might be an underlying medical condition. Some serious, yet rare, medical conditions that can cause muscle twitching include Tourette syndrome, Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophies, spinal muscular atrophy, Isaac's syndrome, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, brain tumors, liver failure, kidney failure, nervous system disorders, and genetic disorders. Medical conditions that cause muscle twitching should be treated by a doctor. Depending on what medical condition you have, muscle twitching will oftentimes be controlled when the condition is controlled.  Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can sometimes cause muscle twitching. Once these imbalances are fixed, the twitching should cease. There are some rare progressive neurological illnesses that begin with symptoms such as minor muscle twitching. With these illnesses, such as Lou Gehrig's disease, the twitches may get progressively worse and will be uncontrollable. Since tumors can cause muscle twitching, having surgery to remove them can eliminate the twitching. If treating your underlying medical condition does not minimize muscle twitching, there are medications that can be...

Depending on the severity of the break, you may need to call emergency services or get to a local hospital. Taking a minute to assess the situation before you take any treatment measures can help prevent further injury.  You likely have a broken arm if you hear a snap or cracking sound.  Other signs of a break are severe pain that may increase if you move it, swelling, bruising, deformity of the arm, or trouble turning it palm up to palm down.  Call emergency services or get to the hospital as soon as possible if you notice the following: The person is unresponsive, isn't breathing or isn't moving; there is heavy bleeding; even gentle pressure or movement causes pain; the extremity of the injured arm, such as a finger, is numb or bluish at the tip; you suspect a bone is broken in the neck, head or back; if the bone breaks the surface of the skin; or if the arm is deformed. If you are unable to reach emergency services, review the following wikiHow article: How to Provide First Aid for a Broken Bone. If the break has caused bleeding, it’s important to stop any bleeding as soon as possible. Apply light pressure to the area using a bandage, clean cloth, or a clean article or clothing. Make sure to call emergency services or get to the hospital if any bleeding is present. If a bone is sticking out or is deformed, do not realign it under any circumstances. Get to a doctor and stabilize the arm, both of which may help prevent further injury and discomfort. Trying to realign the bone can cause further injury and pain and will likely lead to an infection. It is very important to make sure excessive movement doesn't further damage the broken bone. Place a splint above and below the break to help stabilize it until you can get medical treatment.  You can use a variety of items to make a splint including rolled up newspaper or towels. Either tape or wrap a sling around your arm to hold the splints in place.  Padding on the splints may help relieve discomfort. Place an ice pack on the break after wrapping it in a towel...


Оцените симптомы. Обратитесь за медицинской помощью, если у вас наблюдаются симптомы тяжелой инфекции. Решите, можно ли вылечить дома поверхностную инфекцию пальца ноги.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Sometimes it can be hard to tell what kind of infection you have in your toe and if it is serious or not. It could be a simple ingrown toenail or a more serious infection that could spread into the rest of your body. In order to tell the difference you should assess your symptoms.  The signs and symptoms of a light infection include: pain and/or tenderness, swelling, redness, and increased warmth in the area.  The signs and symptoms of a more serious infection include: the formation of pus, red streaks extending from the initial wound, fever. Once again, these symptoms include pus, red streaks radiating from the wound, or a fever. If you experience any of these, call your physician for advice right away. A serious infection can move from your toe into the rest of your body. A really bad infection can even put your system into shock and threaten your life. Because of the seriousness of this, it is important to get a bad infection looked at by a health professional as soon as possible. If you don't have any of the serious symptoms, but you are in a bit of discomfort, you may be able to treat the infection at home. Like other types of minor injuries, it might be possible to treat the infection by cleaning the area, applying an antibiotic, and keeping the area bandaged for a few days If this seems like the case, then go ahead with treating the issue this way.  If you have cleaned the area thoroughly, applied a good antibiotic, and kept the area bandaged and clean, and it is still hurting or getting more painful or inflamed, then it is time to get it looked at by a medical professional. If the infection is mild and doesn't seem like a serious risk to your health, you can still make an appointment to get it looked at. Use your own judgement and remember that it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Depending on how badly dislocated your knee is or if you are in significant pain, you may need to call emergency services or get to a local hospital. Evaluating the status of your knee before deciding on the right treatment can prevent further injury and minimize discomfort.  You may have a dislocated knee if your knee appears deformed or different than it normally does.  Other signs your knee may be dislocated are: you cannot straighten out a bent knee, your kneecap dislocates to the outside of your knee, you have pain and tenderness in the area, there is swelling around your knee, you can move your kneecap far to each side of your knee.  You may also have trouble walking. If you are able and it is not too painful, try and straighten out your knee. If your knee is stuck or too painful to straighten out, stabilize it and get medical attention as soon as possible. If your knee is deformed or painful, avoid moving the joint. You also shouldn’t force it into place. This may cause further injury to your surrounding muscles, ligaments, nerves or blood vessels. It is very important to stabilize your knee to prevent further damage. Place a splint behind and around your knee until you can get medical attention.  Make a splint using a variety of items including rolled up newspaper or towels. Apply surgical tape around your leg to keep the splints in place.  Having padding on your splint may minimize pain. Place an ice pack on your knee after you splint it. This can minimize pain and swelling by controlling internal bleeding and the pooling of fluids around the injured joint. Avoid applying the ice directly to the joint to prevent frostbite. Wrap your knee or the joint in some kind of cloth or towel to reduce your risk of frostbite. Your doctor or local hospital can decide on the best treatment for your knee, which will likely include realigning your joint. Depending on the severity of the dislocation, you may need a splint, cast, surgery, or rehabilitation.  Your doctor may ask questions about how the dislocation...


Оцените ситуацию. Выясните, что именно "тормозит" вас. Определите свои цели.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

First, consider which parts of the relationship are moving too quickly. Identify what makes you uncomfortable, or what makes your partner uncomfortable. If you want to slow a relationship down, you'll need to understand why it's going too fast.  You might feel the need to keep your partner in check. Perhaps your partner wants to escalate the physical side of the relationship, but you aren't comfortable doing so. Maybe he or she is demanding commitments that you know you can't keep. Perhaps he or she is falling head over heels for you, but you want to let your feelings blossom more gradually. On the other hand, you might need to slow down your own feelings. It's easy to feel "freaked out" if you sense they you're falling too quickly for your partner. Perhaps your significant other has specifically asked you to slow things down, for their sake. In this case, consider how you can respect what your partner needs out of the relationship. Notice the specific actions or situations that make you feel uncomfortable. Look for patterns. Try to understand exactly which circumstances make you feel like things are going too fast.  Maybe you've just started seeing a guy, but he's inviting you to go on trips with him or asking you to be his date to a wedding. If this level of implied commitment bothers you, then that's what you need to address. Perhaps you've been dating a girl for a while, and she keeps dropping hints about marriage and children. If you aren't ready to think about these things, it might be putting a lot of strain on your relationship. Evaluate your goals for the relationship, your goals for personal growth, and your goals for the future. Consider whether this relationship is pushing you against your goals, and ask yourself whether the imbalance is something that you'll be able to resolve. Understand that you may just not be compatible. If your partner wants something different than you, it doesn't mean they're a bad person. It may just mean that you don't have the same goals. Consider whether it's worth...


Оцените ситуацию. Дышите. Запишите причины своего страха. Поговорите с кем-нибудь.

Fear is a natural response to a perceived threat, and in certain circumstances it can be healthy. However, fear can also inspire a fight or flight response in situations even when there is no threat. Take a moment to assess the situation and see if your fear is coming from an actual threat, or just as a reaction to something unfamiliar.  If, for example, you hear a bump in the night, take a moment to think about if there are other things, such as your neighbor closing their car door, that could make that noise. If there is something real, do something about it, like making an appointment to have a doctor look at the mole, or calling the police if a stranger is walking around beside your house. Think about whether your reaction is due to fear or a phobia. While phobias trigger fear reactions, the reactions are disproportionate to the actual danger. Phobias interfere with your ability to cope. You may need the help of a therapist or doctor to deal with a phobia. When you're scared and not thinking properly, you tend to start hyperventilating, which increases your fears. Take deep full breaths and relax your body. Start with your shoulders and, as you breathe, work your way down to your feet relaxing each muscle.  Not only will your breathing calm you and make sure you are getting enough oxygen, focusing on your breathing and relaxing your body makes it so you can't focus on what is scaring you. Being scared means that our hypothalamus (which governs flight or fight) activates our sympathetic nervous system and we tense up. It also has the adrenal-cortical system dump a bunch of hormones into our system, so even if we're scared about going to a party and meeting a bunch of new people, our hypothalamus interprets this as a fight or flight situation. So breathe and you'll calm the hypothalamus. In the moment, while you're busy being scared, get out a pen and a piece of paper and write down everything you're scared of. This exercise helps you draw your fears out into consciousness. You acknowledge them and it makes...


Оцените ситуацию. Определите, какие из ваших долгов обеспечиваются залогом. Задайте приоритет долгам. Подумайте, находитесь ли вы в критической ситуации. Не берите дорогие кредиты.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The first step to getting to grips with your debt problem is to conduct an honest appraisal of all your outstanding debts, and the amount they are costing you. Start by writing down every single debt you have, and try to include as much information as possible. You can’t make any progress until you have a clear picture of your financial situation.  Note down the key information, including interest rates, the principal amount, the monthly payments, and any collateral pledged to secure the loan. This could be a stressful and difficult experience, but it’s essential that you do it. Once you have all this information at hand you can begin to understand it and chart a path forward. Once you have drawn up a list of all of your debts, you need to make some judgements about which debts are most important and most pressing. Start by determining which of your debts are secured and which and unsecured. This is important, because it shows you which debts could lead to you quickly losing property, such as your home.  Secured debts are those which are tied to a particular asset, such as your home or your car. If you default on your payments,  the debt holder can foreclose on the collateral pledged to secure a loan. Unsecured debts are those which are not tied to an asset, and generally include things like credit card debts, medical insurance bills, and signature loans. The next step is to go through your outstanding debts and prioritize them. Although all your debts are important, some are more important than others. The most important ones are generally those which could lead to you losing assets such as your home, automobile, and other physical property. These debts can include any rent you owe, mortgage payments, council or state taxes, and utility bills you have not paid.  Rent and utility becomes debts when you fall behind on the payments. These can lead to you being cut off from utilities and losing your home, so should be treated as a priority. Lower priority debts include credit card bills, some installment debt or...

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This stage is critical for determining what kind of assistance the child needs and if the assistance can be provided safely. You should:  Check the area to make sure it is safe to provide rescue breathing. Make sure you are not in an area where you and the child are in danger of being hit by a car or coming in contact with live electrical wires. Check the child. Gently touch the child and ask loudly if the child is ok. Do not shake or move the child because if she has a neck or spinal injury, this could cause more damage. If the child does not respond shout for a bystander to call emergency responders. If people are standing around watching you, point to someone specifically and tell that person to call for help. If you are alone, perform rescue breathing for two minutes and then call 911. At this point it is critical to assess whether the child is breathing and has a pulse:  Check for breathing. Lean over the child so that your ear is near the child’s nose and mouth. Watch the child’s chest for breathing movements, listen for sounds of breathing, and notice whether you feel the child’s breath on your cheek. Check for breathing for no more than 10 seconds. Feel for a pulse. Press your index and middle finger on the side of the child’s neck, under the jaw. It is important that this step be done carefully, especially if there is the possibility that the child might have a spinal or neck injury. Avoid causing the child’s neck or body to twist. Position the child so he is lying flat on her back. If necessary, ask someone to help you gently roll the child onto his back. Coordinate your movements so that the spine is not twisted during the movement.
