Article in English: If you've never written a statistical report before, you might benefit from looking at other statistical reports that you can use as a guide to format your own. You also get a good idea of how your finished report should look.  If you're completing your report for a class, your instructor or professor may be willing to show you some reports submitted by previous students if you ask. University libraries also have copies of statistical reports created by students and faculty researchers on file. Ask the research librarian to help you locate one in your field of study. You also may be able to find statistical reports online that were created for business or marketing research, as well as those filed for government agencies. Be careful following samples exactly, particularly if they were completed for research in another field. Different fields of study have their own conventions regarding how a statistical report should look and what it should contain. For example, a statistical report by a mathematician may look incredibly different than one created by a market researcher for a retail business. Statistical reports typically are typed single-spaced, using a font such as Arial or Times New Roman in 12-point size. If you have an assignment sheet that describes the formatting requirements, follow those exactly.  You typically want to have 1-inch margins around all sides of your report. Be careful when adding visual elements such as charts and graphs to your report, and make sure they don't bleed over the margins or your report may not print properly and will look sloppy. You may want to have a 1.5-inch margin on the left-hand side of the page if you anticipate putting your study into a folder or binder, so all the words can be read comfortably when the pages are turned. Don't double-space your report unless you're writing it for a class assignment and the instructor or professor specifically tells you to do so. Use headers to add the page number to every page. You may also want to add your last name or the title...

Article in English: If you've recently washed your hair, there's no need to wash it again. You can wet it by spritzing it with some fresh water. This look will give you a straight hairstyle that may appear to be slightly rounded from the back. Part your hair in the middle back to the top of your crown. Behind this point, comb back your hair straight. Be as exact as possible as you part your hair. Use a fine-toothed comb to comb your hair on either side of the part. Using the fine-toothed comb, ensure that your hair is smooth and firm against your head as you pull it back into a tight ponytail.  Comb your hair all over to ensure that there are no bumps before you pull it into the ponytail. Ensure that the ponytail is directly in the middle of the back of your head, and that it sits very low at the nape of your neck. This ponytail should be just above where you want to cut your hair. It may be a few inches below the other one. Do this without loosening it from the nape of your neck. Do this in small, incremental snips. Don't try to cut the entire chunk of hair in one go. Make sure that the end of the ponytail is as even as possible.  Comb sections straight up or forward to check for evenness. Adjust the cut as you would like. If the cut is not as even as you'd like it to be, you can try putting it in a ponytail and trimming it again. Do not cut it any shorter; just put it back in the ponytail, hold it firmly in one hand, and clip any stray hairs that aren't even with the others.

Article in English: If your Android's default SMS app keeps notifying you of "new" message you don't actually have, you can usually fix the issue by temporarily switching your default SMS app to something else. Android Messages is just one of many options, but it's a solid choice (even if you don't wind up keeping it).  The Play Store is located in your Android's app drawer. To download Android Messages, type messages into the Play Store's search bar, tap the search button, and then tap INSTALL next to the Messages app by Google. It's the blue icon with a white chat bubble in your app drawer. You'll be prompted to do this soon after launching the app for the first time. Once Messages becomes your default app, your existing SMS messages will appear in the app. You may have to give the app permission to access your messages before they appear. It may appear with a red exclamation point or some other indication that there's something wrong with it. The message may just also appear highlighted since it's unread. After a moment, you'll see some different icons appear at the top of the screen. It's the trash can icon at the top of the screen. This deletes the message from your phone, and you should no longer see notifications for it. Repeat this for any other message for which you're continuously receiving notifications. If you want to continue using Android Messages (it's pretty solid!), you can skip this step. If not, here's how to get back to your prior app:  Samsung Galaxy:  Open your Android's Settings app. It's the gear icon in your app drawer. Tap Apps. Tap the three-dot menu at the top-right corner. Tap Default apps. Tap Messaging Apps. Select your regular messaging app and tap OK.   Other models:  Open your Android's Settings app. It's the gear icon in your app drawer. Tap Apps & Notifications. Scroll down and tap Advanced. Tap Default apps. Tap SMS app. Select your regular messaging app.

Article in English: If your allergy is severe, ask the people in advance if they own cats. If you find they do, let them know that you won't be able to come because you are allergic. To still spend time with these friends, ask to meet them at a different place or invite them over instead. If they are really good friends or you can’t avoid going to visit, ask if they have a cat-free zone. If not, see if they can create one for you by keeping the cat in another room, vacuuming, and changing linens to reduce the cat dander. Once you visit a place that has a cat, the cat dander left on your clothing can cause a continued allergic reaction. When you return home, wash your clothes on in hot water in order to remove the dander from your clothes.  This is true of people who own cats. Their clothes likely have dander on then, especially if you can see visible cat hair. Without making a big deal out of it, simply let such people know that you have a bad allergy to cats and that you will have to keep your distance. In the workplace, this may mean sitting away from cat owners. However, don't be rude about it. You may have an allergy but the cat owner also has feelings. Explain things kindly, in the spirit of compromise. This may seem like common sense, but even if you love cats, avoid direct contact with any cat. This will minimize the chances of setting off your allergy because your allergies can be triggered by the allergens left on your hands. There is a protein in the saliva of cats (Fel D1) that seems to trigger allergic reactions.  By not stroking the cat, you avoid picking up this allergen. If you must pet the cat, wash your hands immediately with soap and warm water.  You should also avoid bringing a cat close to your face or kissing a cat.

Article in English: If your baby doesn’t like the taste of pure chicken puree, using a different liquid can help disguise or enhance the flavor. Try using a little apple or white grape juice instead of broth or water, or mix the juice and broth together. To avoid giving your baby too much sugar, use 100% unsweetened juice. Although you may be hesitant to feed your baby anything with spices in it, experimenting with a variety of flavors and textures will help them develop a more adventurous palate. Add a pinch of a mild seasoning, such as black pepper, garlic powder, basil, or rosemary to enhance the taste of your puree.  Use a small amount of any seasoning at first so that your baby can get used to the new flavor. Wait to try this until your baby has already tried pure chicken puree, and only experiment with 1 seasoning at a time. If your baby is allergic to a food or seasoning, this will make it easier to tell which ingredients to avoid in the future. You can make your puree even more tasty and nutritious by combining the chicken with a variety of fruits and veggies. Before pureeing fruits or vegetables, dice them into small cubes and cook them until they are tender.   Steaming your fruits or vegetables rather than boiling them will help them taste better and retain more of their nutrients. Add about 1/4 cup (approx. 45 g) of the cooked fruits vegetables to the blender or food processor along with the chicken. Try combining chicken with apples, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, or spinach. Only experiment with 1 new ingredient at a time so that you can easily identify any foods your baby is allergic to.

Article in English: If your ball is curving during flight from left to right (for a right-handed golfer), try to keep your knees bent and flexed during the backswing. It's natural to want to straighten out your back knee during the backswing but try to avoid the impulse. Don't let your knee travel backward either; keep it flexed in position and underneath the hip. A hook is a ball that travels slightly to the right (for a right-handed golfer) and then dramatically to the left. This happens when the ball has a counterclockwise spin, meaning that it's being hit from right to left instead of from back to front.  Try looking at your grip. If you're a right-handed golfer and more than two knuckles on your left hand are visible when you hold the club, turn to a "weaker" grip and make sure only two knuckles are visible. Make sure your stance isn't aiming too far to the left. You can try to overcompensate a little to the right, but this can also make the hooking motion worse if you overcompensate too much. Place a golf club down on the ground to make sure you're aiming straight at your target. " Sometimes your swing is "fat," others it's "thin," and your drive doesn't get as much distance as you'd like. The most common remedy for this problem is keeping your head down and your eye on the ball throughout the backswing. When you move your head back in the backswing, you're actually increasing the distance between the base of the neck and the bottom of the ball. This makes it much tougher to hit the ball right in your wheelhouse. Keep your eye on the ball and you should be driving longer and more consistently.

Article in English: If your blister came in response to a new type of shoe, or a very uncomfortable shoe, stop wearing the shoes that caused it. Purchase shoes that leave your feet with some wiggle room and fit comfortably. Wearing the right shoes can prevent a future blister. Also make sure that you wear the right type of shoes for the activity you're engaging in. For example, you can help prevent foot blisters when running by wearing running shoes. Attach a small bit of moleskin or padding to the inside of your shoes, particularly the sole, or the areas where your shoes rub against your feet. Moleskin can provide some padding and cut back on friction and irritation that causes blisters. Moisture can cause blisters or make existing blisters worse. Invest in a pair of moisture-wicking socks. These will absorb sweat from your feet and cut back on blisters and other injuries.

Article in English: If your camera displays a message that says "Card Error", "Read Error", or something similar, turn off the camera and remove the memory card. Continuing to try to use the card after this point will reduce the likelihood of you recovering all of the data on the card. While your card might be done for, there's still a possibility that your data is recoverable. Some of the most popular free data recovery programs include the following:   Recuva - After you select your hard drive location (in this case, your SD card) and check the "Photos" option, Recuva does all the hard work in the background. Recommended for most users.  CardRecovery - After a brief setup, CardRecovery scans any attached SD cards. Once your evaluation period with CardRecovery is up, you'll need to pay to continue using its services.  Photo Rec - This program has a minimal interface and requires basic knowledge of how to navigate the Command Prompt program, so it isn't recommended for beginners. Typically, this process will entail opening your recovery program's page, clicking the Download button, and double-clicking the downloaded setup file. The location of the download button will vary from site to site. If you can't find it, try looking for it on the top or the side of the site's page. Most PCs have a thin, rectangular memory card slot with the word "SD" next to it. This will most likely be on the side of the computer's casing if it is a laptop, or somewhere on the CPU box if it is a desktop.  If your PC or Mac doesn't have an SD card slot, you can buy an SD card reader that plugs into your computer's USB port for less than $10.  You may have to allow your computer permission to use your SD card before you can access it. It should be installed in whichever location you chose earlier. You'll usually need to select the memory card as the location to scan and select the "Photos" option in your data recovery program's scan criteria before you can successfully scan your attached SD card. After the scan completes, most programs will give you the...

Article in English: If your cat eats too fast and vomits up her food or starts to show signs of digestive issues like bloating, you may want to adjust her feeding schedule. Instead of three big meals a day, try feeding your cat smaller portions five to six times a day for one to two weeks.  After one to two weeks, check to see if the new feeding schedule forces her to slow down when she eats. Smaller portions throughout the day will also help her digest her food properly and maintain an appetite for her next meal. You can also put food in smaller dishes throughout your home so your cat has to move around to eat more food. This will make her treat feeding time more like a “hunt”, where she is mentally and physically stimulated, and force her to pace herself as she eats. If you have more than one cat at home, you may have an issue where one cat bullies another cat and eats the other cat’s food, or one cat hogs all the food when it comes time to eat. Avoid these issues by setting up more than one feeding station in your home, ideally in separate rooms or different areas of your home. This will force your cats to spread out when they eat and provide enough space for each cat to get enough food. Using multiple feeding stations along with smaller portions throughout the day for all the cats can help your cats slow down when they eat. If you try several of these steps and your cat still eats too fast but does not appear to be putting on any weight or cannot satisfy her appetite, your cat may have a medical issue that needs to be addressed. Take your cat to your vet for a checkup to ensure her overeating or fast eating are not a sign of a medical issue.

Summary in Russian:

Давайте кошке корм чаще, но меньшими порциями. Если у вас много кошек, у них должны быть разные места для кормления. Если после всех усилий кошка продолжает быстро заглатывать пищу, но при этом выглядит истощенной, покажите ее ветеринару.


Article in English: If your cat is eliminating outside the box, he may not like something about his litter box situation. Whether it's the wrong kind of litter, the wrong depth of litter, an unclean litter box, or even a poorly placed litter box, your cat may be trying to send you a message.  If your cat doesn't like traditional clay litter, try a clumping litter. If he doesn't like scented litter, try unscented litter. With a little trial and error, you'll be able to figure out your cat's preferences.  Be sure your cat's litter box is in a quiet, low-traffic area. If there's a lot of noise, like in a laundry room, or a lot of traffic coming through, like your home's living room, your cat may become reluctant to use the litter box. Choose a place that's quiet and relatively undisturbed, but not so undisturbed that your cat has to make a long journey through the house to get there. Use an enzyme-based cleaning product to treat any household furniture or carpeting that your cat has eliminated on. This will break down any residual odor on the furniture, ensuring that your cat won't come to see it as an acceptable place to relieve himself. If your cat leaves solid waste on the floor or on any furniture, use a paper towel to move the feces to his litter box, rather than throwing it in the trash. This will help remind him to use the litter box next time. If your cat isn't using the litter box, it's important to check around the house to look for out-of-box elimination. If he isn't urinating anywhere, it's a sign that he may have a urinary tract infection, bladder/kidney stones, or a partially- or fully-blocked urethra. If you believe your cat is not eliminating, or if he is eliminating with blood in his urine or stool, take him to a veterinary emergency clinic immediately. This is another reason why it's a good idea to scoop the box on a daily basis. Scooping your cat's waste allows you to monitor his health, as you'll see signs of digestive or urinary problems right away and be able to act fast.

Узнайте предпочтения вашей кошки. Тщательно уберите место, где кошка справила нужду. Следите за привычками кошки.


Article in English: If your cat is normally playful, active, and generally friendly, reclusiveness could be a sign that your cat is sick. If it starts hanging out under your bed, couch, table, or any other out of reach, unusual place, this could be a sign. Cats are instinctively cautious creatures, even if they might be playfully curious on any given day. If your cat is sick, it will want to reduce his or her vulnerability by hiding from you. If your cat is accustomed to eating at a specific time or normally eats a certain amount of food each day, it may alter this behavior if it’s sick. Check your cat’s food bowl throughout the day to see if it has eaten anything. If this is the case, try tempting your cat with slight more “exciting” food options. Even consider bringing their food bowl to them. If they are hiding because they don’t feel well, they might not be confident enough to venture out to their normal feeding place. If you place the bowl in their safe zone, they might be more inclined to eat. Many cat illnesses — ranging from colds to more serious diseases or conditions — produce fevers, but may also cause other symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. Check your cat’s litter box area. In some cases, your cat may attempt to bury this. If you have an outdoor cat, try to follow it. Check its resting areas for disturbed dirt if it normally buries its business. This is a tough symptom to identify because cats are notoriously lazy creatures. If your cat refuses to get up when you shake a treat bag, it might be lethargic. If your cat normally likes to follow you from room to room, but remains content sleeping all day in a room away from you, it might be lethargic. If you think your cat shows signs of sluggish behavior, be sure to tell your veterinarian.

Article in English: If your child begins careening from happiness to anger to depression to irritability, this may be a cause for concern. Keep in mind that many perfectly normal teenagers have mood swings. Don't jump to conclusions, but do pay attention and look for other symptoms. If your child seems much less interested in or enthusiastic about his or her studies, hobbies, and extra-curricular activities, this may also be a warning sign. You may notice that your child still does these things, but with less focus and dedication, or you may realize that your child is not doing these things at all anymore. Most of our memory formation happens during our sleep, but alcohol disrupts sleep and, as a result, causes problems with memory retention. Watch your child's sleep patterns, and note any difficulty with memory. When someone is under the influence of alcohol, the brain's ability to send warning signs is inhibited, and the person will not modify his or her behavior (as would be the case if the person were sober). If your child is consuming and abusing alcohol, you will likely see signs of diminished rational thinking and impaired judgment. Note that alcoholics often fail to step back and make amends for mistakes they commit under the influence. They may not seem to care. This is why alcohol consumption becomes responsible for so many accidents, homicides, suicides, and acts of sexual violence – alcohol is that potent. Alcohol is a depressant. It may reduce tension and anxiety temporarily, but it also works as a “downer” on the nervous system. If your child is abusing alcohol, he or she may appear very depressed – tired, sad, and withdrawn.

Знайте, что переменчивые настроения могут быть признаком алкоголизма. Следите за уменьшением мотивации. Обратите внимание на проблемы с памятью. Ищите нарушения мышления и суждения. Будьте бдительны в отношении признаков депрессии.


Article in English: If your child is feeling sad, try playing with him. It will remind him that you love and care about him, and it might help take his mind off his problems.  If your child still plays with toys, then join him in playing with his favorites. If he's moved on to video games, try joining him for a few levels. Make sure your child has access to toys/activities that engage the senses. Some experts have found that playing with tactile materials, like clay, play dough, sand, rice, and even water can help sad children work through their emotions. Depending on your child's age, gender, and personality, he or she may be interested in a number of things. No matter what your child is interested in, try engaging with him in that interest. It will help him connect with you, and it might open the door to deeper, more meaningful conversations about other aspects of his life.  If your kid likes comics, ask him about his favorites, or ask if you can borrow one of the comics he likes the most. If your child is interested in cartoons or TV shows, ask if you can watch with him. This can give you a better idea of his sense of humor at his current age, which might make it easier to cheer him up when he's sad. If your child is into sports, watch a game with him, or buy tickets to catch a game in your hometown. No matter what your child is interested in, you should develop some degree of interest in those things too. It will help you bond, and you'll know how to engage with him the next time he's feeling down. This may not interest all children, but many kids want to act out or play pretend with issues they're interested in. This might be a current family issue, like a recent death, or it might be something your child is exposed to but doesn't fully understand, like church services or job responsibilities.  Playing pretend is a great way for children to explore a concept in a safe, inquisitive environment. Make sure you're supportive of your child's choice to act out what's going on. You may feel a little upset if your child is playing...

Article in English: If your child is on fire, cover him with a blanket or jacket, and help him roll on the ground to extinguish the flame. Remove any smoldering clothing. Stay calm; panic can be contagious.  If you are dealing with an electric burn, establish that your child is not in contact with the electric source when you touch him. In cases of chemical burns, run water over the burn for at least five minutes. If the burns are large, try soaking in a tub, or shower. Do not remove clothes until after the area has been cleaned.   If clothes are stuck to burn site, do not try to peel them away; this might cause additional damage. Cut the cloth to remove the article of clothing, leaving the piece that is stuck to the wound. You should call emergency services if the burn is larger than three inches (77 mm) or if it is charred and white. You should also call a doctor, 911, or go to the nearest emergency room if the burn is from a fire, electrical source, or chemicals. If the burn shows signs of infection, including swelling, pus, or increasing redness, you should call a doctor. Finally, call a doctor if the burn is in a sensitive location, like the face, scalp, hands, joints, or genitals.  Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if your child has any trouble breathing or is very lethargic after suffering a burn. Once you have contacted emergency services, you can begin treatment while you wait for medical professionals to arrive. Use cool but not cold water. Run it over the burn for approximately 15 minutes to cool it down. Do not use ice or apply any gels except for aloe gel. Do not burst blisters.    For large burns, lay the child flat and raise the burned areas above the chest. Rub a cool washcloth over the area for 10 to 20 minutes. Do not put large parts of his body under cold water because it could cause shock.  Ice will damage the skin. There are also a number of home remedies that are thought to be effective but will actually make the wound worse. These include butter, grease, and powder. Refrain from using...

Article in English: If your child’s allergy symptoms are mild, you can probably control them with over-the-counter medication and proper sanitation around your house. If the symptoms are severe, such as breaking out in body-wide hives, or swelling of the throat or other airways, you will need to ensure your child is no longer exposed to cats. If you already have a cat and find out that your child is severely allergic, you will likely need to rehouse your cat. Antihistamines are designed to reduce the production of an immune system chemical that is responsible for causing the symptoms associated with allergies. They also help relieve itching, sneezing and runny nose. You can purchase these medications over-the-counter or acquire them with a prescription.   Antihistamines come in pill form, as nasal sprays or in syrups, which are specifically designed for children.  Never give over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications to children two years of age or younger unless directed by a doctor or medical professional. Decongestants work by shrinking swollen tissues in your nasal passages, making it easier to breathe through your nose.  Some over-the-counter allergy tablets combine an antihistamine with a decongestant. Never give over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications to children two years of age or younger unless directed by a doctor or medical professional. These shots, usually administered once or twice a week by an allergist, can help a child overcome the symptoms of allergies that can’t be controlled with either antihistamines or decongestants. Allergy shots "train" your immune system by desensitizing it to specific allergens. This is typically called immunotherapy. The initial shots expose you to very small doses of the allergen, in this case, the cat protein that causes an allergic reaction. The dose is, “gradually increased, usually during a three- to six-month period. Maintenance shots are needed every four weeks for three to five years.”  Also, be sure to ask your doctor or allergist about age and dosage...

Article in English: If your circuit is powered by a battery, unplug the negative lead that's running from that battery. If you have to turn off the power at a breaker, turn off the switch, then disconnect the negative lead. Do not attach the meter with the power turned on to the circuit. In order to test the amount of current flowing through a circuit, you have to attach the multimeter so it completes that circuit. To do this, start by shutting off the power to the circuit, then detach the positive wire, which is almost always red, from the power source.  This process is called “breaking the circuit.” You may have to cut the wire with wire clippers to break the circuit. However, if you see a cap where the wire from the power source meets the wire going to the device you're testing, you can simply unscrew the cap and unwind the wires from around each other. The wires may also be connected by clips you can disconnect. There's no need to unplug the black wire. In a direct current circuit, the black is negative, while in an alternating current circuit, it’s the “hot” wire. , if necessary. You'll need to wrap a small piece of wire around the multimeter prongs, or have enough wire exposed that the alligator prongs will clamp on securely. If the wire is insulated all the way to the end, clamp your wire clippers about 1 in (2.5 cm) from the end of the wire and squeeze just enough to cut into the rubber insulation. Then, pull the clippers sharply away from you to remove the insulation.  If you accidentally cut into the wire, snip that portion off of the end and try again. You'll need to strip the end of the wire that's coming away from the power source and the wire coming from the device you're testing. Take the exposed end of the red wire that's coming away from the power source and either wrap it around the prong on the multimeter probe or clamp the alligator clips to the wire, depending on the type of probe you're using. Either way, make sure you attach the wire securely to ensure you get an accurate reading.  Technically, it doesn't...

Article in English: If your computer slowed down noticeably within the last week or so, chances are that an update, a program, or a changed setting is what slowed down your computer. If your computer's been steadily slowing down over a period of time, it's likely that the problem is either due to lack of proper computer care (e.g., regularly shutting down) or age. If your computer is more than a few years old, it will most likely begin to slow down regardless of how well you've cared for it. This doesn't mean that something else isn't slowing down your computer as well—just know that old computers will eventually lose some of their speed. When using computers that are several years old, updating to new versions of operating systems (e.g., from Windows 7 to Windows 10) may negatively impact the computer's performance. All computers have intake and output vents; if you look at these vents and notice dust or other buildup, it could be a contributing factor.  You can remove dust from a vent by using compressed air, or by wiping down the vents with a moist paper towel. If there's a large amount of dust clustered around a vent, your computer probably has dust inside of it as well. You should take your computer into a professional tech department to have it cleaned if this is the case. Computer fans will often speed up when a hefty process (e.g., video processing) is occurring, or when your computer is updating. However, if your computer's fans are constantly running at high speeds and the computer's housing is warming up to an uncomfortable level, the computer's circulation system is probably in need of repair. As with internal dust and grit, having your computer's circulation system replaced is a job for professionals. Close each of your computer's currently open programs in succession, making a note of any performance changes along the way. If your computer's performance improves drastically after closing a certain program, that program is to blame for some of your computer's performance issues. It's also good to close programs that...

Article in English: If your connection with your father is damaged from the past, you may not be sure if connection is something you really want. Ask yourself: how did my father's actions impact my life? Allow yourself to see both the good and the negative effect he's had upon your life.  Allowing yourself to acknowledge that past actions were not okay is part of the process of forgiveness. Deciding to connect doesn't mean excusing your dad's past behavior. But if you've decided to try to connect, you'll need to find a way to be willing to forgive him for things that hurt you in the past. Picking up the phone may be scary, but it's necessary. If you really are serious about connecting with your dad, you'll have to let him know. Say something very simple to break the ice. A simple explanation is the best. For example, "Hi Dad. It's Paul. I was thinking about you and would like to get together sometime. Look forward to hearing back from you."  If you don't hear back within the week, try again. If the phone is too difficult, send him an email. Include your contact information on everything you send, so that he'll be able to respond. Rather than criticize your dad for what he's done to hurt you, stick to your experiences. For example, instead of saying "You always came home drunk," say what you felt: "I grew up feeling confused about what to expect."  By using "I" statements, you're avoiding arguing. Your dad can't argue with how you felt. You're including his behavior in order to share more about your own feelings. For instance, "I used to feel embarrassed to bring my friends over to play," sticks to your own experience, while, "You never had a job and were always hanging around harassing me," might make him defensive. If your father did things or made choices that hurt you as a child, you might wonder why he did these things. Perhaps you've made up reasons to explain his actions, but you might be unaware of his real motives. Maybe there were circumstances that you didn't know about as a child that he can share with you now. ...

Article in English: If your current photo shows you flashing your best smile into the camera, delete it immediately; studies show that, though guys are most attracted to photos of smiling girls, girls are the least attracted to photos of smiling men. Instead, they prefer photos of guys who either look proud or downcast. Studies also show that the left side of the face tends to be considered the most attractive. Take a new photo of yourself looking off and to the right with either a brooding, downward-glancing, Edward-Cullen-ey look or a cocky, up-ward looking, Jacob-Black-ey look—and watch the “likes” and “favorites” pour in. If your photo comes off as mopey or attention-seeking, you will be laughed at. Take many photos if necessary and choose one where you still look natural and yourself. Have a girl friend take the pictures, if you can. She'll know what girls like to see, and may be able to get the right shot. Send the message that you are at ease in any situation, even if you secretly want to run screaming. It's called confidence.  If you approach girls like a desperate beggar who is terrified of rejection, they will know it instinctively, and will proceed to prove you right. Don't act like you’re too cool to care. Just be enthusiastic and calm, and if something goes wrong, laugh it off and move forward without a scratch. Flirting takes practice, confidence, and the ability to forget about your own nervousness; after all, how can you pick up on anyone else’s cues if you are too busy wiping the sweat off your palms or staring at your own feet? Prepare yourself by reading How to Flirt. To step up your game, learn the following:  How to Have a Great Conversation How to Have a Witty Conversation How to Read Body Language  How to Touch a Girl—excellent if you’re desperate for ways to break the touch barrier

Article in English: If your date is continuously talking about topics you aren’t interested in or that bore you, try changing the subject. Make a general comment about the topic your date is talking about or making a joke, and then introduce a new topic.  Say something like, “Wow, that’s neat that you’re so passionate about cats! One of my big passions is soccer. I play every weekend, and I always have a huge party to watch the World Cup. Have you ever played soccer?” Make a joke like, “Oh Mr. Accountant, don’t bore me with financials! I want to hear about what you do for fun!” Curfews don’t have to be just for high school. Even as an adult, you can claim you have to be home by a certain time because you have a busy day the next day or you need to get home to your pet. Claiming a curfew will relieve you from the possibility of the date lasting too long. You can tell your date about your curfew early in the night and then if it starts going bad, remind your date you have to get home. However, if the date is going really well, you can also say you’re willing to stay out late tonight because you’re having such a great time. It’s a good idea to have a friend call you during a date so you can use it as an excuse to leave. Make plans to have a friend call you 30 or 40 minutes after the date begins and make sure your phone’s ringer is turned on so you hear the call. If the date’s going bad, answer the call and say something like,“Oh no! I’ll be right there!” and then hang up. Be prepared to tell your date why you have to leave, and politely excuse yourself from the date.  Tell you date that you forgot to pick up your friend’s child from school. Let your date know that your dog got out and you have to go pick him up from a neighbor. A fake sickness is a good reason to have to leave a date. Excuse yourself to the bathroom and spend about 10 minutes in there. Wipe your face and hairline with a wet paper towel and come out holding your stomach. Inform your date that you aren’t feeling well and that you’re going to go home.  You can leave...

Article in English: If your employer requires a drug test, it is likely that you will be providing a urine sample. In rarer cases, an employer may also require a blood, saliva, or hair test. A urine test may be done privately (in a bathroom stall at a laboratory) or it might be observed by a laboratory employee. False positive drug tests are very rare in licensed, reputable laboratories. However, certain prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal remedies can be mistaken for drugs of abuse in drug tests. For example, some decongestants might lead to a positive drug test for amphetamines. In order to ensure that your drug test does not provide a false positive, make a thorough list of all your medications and provide the list to your employer, along with any supporting documentation required. Urine tests can detect a variety of substances in your system. The particular drugs tested for are depend on a variety of factors: your personal or legal history, the requirements of your job, legal guidelines, or the occurrence of workplace accidents might all affect the specific drugs your employer chooses to test for. However, the most commonly administered drug test is the 5-panel urine test. Most 5-panel tests detect the following drugs:  Marijuana Cocaine Opiates Phencyclidine (PCP) Amphetamines While the 5-panel test is the most common, some employers or legal personnel might choose to add other drugs to their screening. They might add testing for any or all of the following substances:  Alcohol MDMA (ecstasy) Barbiturates Propoxyphene Benzodiazepines A urine test does not test your sobriety at the exact moment at which you provided the sample. Instead, it tests your past use of drugs over the past few days or even weeks. Habitual drug users often have higher concentrations of the drug in their systems than occasional drug users. For this reason, habitual drug users may test positively for drugs even after being sober for several days or weeks. Other factors might affect the concentration of drugs in your system,...

Article in English: If your energy levels do not improve, then make an appointment with your family physician and get your blood sugar levels checked. Diabetes is characterized by chronic high blood glucose due to lack of insulin or insulin resistance. Your body needs insulin to get glucose into cells so energy molecules (ATP) can be made.  A common symptom of diabetes is daytime fatigue that is not alleviated by sleeping, exercise, or eating nutritious meals. Dehydration from excessive urination is also common with diabetes, which contributes to tiredness too, as noted above. Other symptoms of diabetes include weight loss, confusion (brain fog), blurred vision, and a sweet-smelling breath odor. Another common cause of tiredness and fatigue is hormonal imbalance. Glands in your body produce hormones, many of which impact metabolism, energy production, and mood. Your doctor can send you for blood tests that measure hormones and other compounds made by these glands.  Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) is a common cause of chronic fatigue, especially in women. Adrenal fatigue can be caused by chronic stress, heavy caffeine consumption and/or over-medication. The most common symptoms of adrenal fatigue are fatigue, lack of energy, nervousness and sleep disturbance.  Menopause commonly leads to lack of energy, hot flashes, insomnia, and emotional problems. It's brought on by a natural decline in female reproductive hormones (estrogen and progesterone), but certain diseases and conditions can trigger it prematurely. A major symptom of anemia is feeling fatigued or weak. Anemia occurs when your body doesn't have enough healthy blood cells to function properly. Anemia may be caused by an iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, a chronic disease (such as Chron's disease or rheumatoid arthritis), or many other factors, so it is important to see your doctor if you are experiencing ongoing fatigue. If you are constantly tired but testing determines that you are otherwise healthy, you may want to look at your emotional health. Both...

Article in English: If your eyes are exposed to HF, they will experience rapid symptoms.  If your eyes only have mild exposure, expect rapid irritation and possibly pain.  This may be followed by a clouding of the cornea of the eye, which may be reversible. If severe exposure occurs, expect a rapid onset of pain and damage to the cornea.  The cornea may degrade and the eye may swell.  Clouding of the eye may become permanent as well as any other visual defects in the eye. As soon as your eyes are exposed to HF, flush them with large amounts of cool, running water for at least thirty minutes. This will flush out the acid and help prevent continued damage to the eyes. If only one eye has been contaminated, be sure to not wash acid into the other eye. Keep your eyelids apart and away from the eyeballs while washing. Tilt your head to the side so that water runs off your eye from the side closest to your nose towards your temples.  This will prevent the contaminated water from rinsing back into your eye, nose, mouth, or other vital areas on the face. Once you wash your eyes out, seek medical attention immediately. Ideally, you should see an eye specialist so he or she will know the best way to treat you. This cannot be reiterated enough. HF is a highly reactive substance and can cause severe damage, visual defects, and blindness. On your way to the emergency room, you should apply an ice pack to your eyes. Applying an ice pack to the affected area may lessen the effects of the HF, while also helping to alleviate the painful symptoms. Once you get to the emergency room or eye doctor, he or she will assess the damage in order to limit the long-term effects to your eyes. You will most likely continue to receive flushing of the eye, as well as topical tetracaine ointment and a 1% calcium gluconate flush. The goal of immediate treatment is to reduce your pain, neutralize the effects of burns, and then to assess and come up with a treatment plan based on the outcome. Prior to discharge, your doctor will assess your electrolyte balances...

Article in English: If your fabric is made out of natural fibers like cotton, linen, silk, and wool, most fabric dyes will work. If your fabric is made out of synthetic materials like polyester, spandex, and acrylic, look for a black fabric dye that says “synthetic fibers” on the label. Non-synthetic fabric dyes may not dye fabrics made with synthetic materials. A large bowl or bucket will work. Make sure the container is large enough to hold the piece of fabric you're dyeing. Fill the container with enough water that you'll be able to completely submerge your piece of fabric. Using boiling water will give you the best results, but your fabric will still dye if you just use hot water from a tap. If you have access to a stovetop and large pot, you can make your dye bath on the stovetop and turn the burner to low. Keeping the water hot throughout the dye process will make the final color darker. Read the label on the back of the fabric dye to see how much you should use. Keep in mind that the more fabric dye you use, the darker the final color will be. If you want your fabric to be a dark, solid black, you may want to use an entire container of fabric dye. Stir the dye thoroughly with a spoon. You can find a black fabric dye online or at your local fabric store. Use .25 cups (59 mL) of salt per .5 pounds (0.23 kg) of fabric you're dyeing. Thoroughly stir the salt into the dye bath with a spoon. For example, if you're dyeing 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of fabric, you would use 1.5 cups (350 mL) of salt.

Article in English: If your feeder is close enough to the window, birds won’t be able to pick up enough velocity to hurt themselves when flying into it. If it is far enough away, then the bird will be more likely to recognize that the window is not part of the natural environment. Ideally you should place your feeder either less than 3 feet from the window or more than 30 feet from it. Birds are drawn to the reflection of the natural environment that they see in your windows. Installing drapes or blinds will obstruct that reflection. This should reduce the likelihood of them flying into your window. You can also place decals on your window. However, to significantly reduce the likelihood of birds flying into the window you will need to have stickers placed no more than 2 inches apart horizontally and 4 inches apart vertically. This would obstruct much of your view. These can be doubly effective. They will reduce the reflectivity of the glass, decreasing the likelihood that birds will fly into the window. Furthermore, they will provide cushion and reduce the chance of injury if a bird does fly into your window.

Article in English: If your fish has a contagious condition, it will need to be removed from the tank so that any illness does not infect other fish. Prepare a holding tank for your fish by putting fresh, conditioned water into the tank. Remove your fish from the original tank and put it in the new tank. If your fish is experiencing stress because of a new fish or environmental change in its tank, you might find that it feels better after being isolated. Many disorders that fish have can be highly contagious. Anything that touched the fish or the water, including your hands, the fishnet, a spoon, etc., will need to be disinfected before it should come in contact with another fish. Use antibacterial soap to wash your hands. Disinfect any other item that has come in contact with the fish or the water in the tank using a bleach solution of 1 part bleach and 9 parts water. Soak items for 10 minutes in the bleach solution and rinse very thoroughly. Rinse again for good measure. Never add bleach to the fish tank when fish are in it, as this can kill fish. Once you have positively identified your fish’s ailment, you can administer a common fish medication to your fish. Give the medication intended for the ailment, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.  Be sure to give your fish the entire course of medication as recommended by the medicine’s manufacturer. Use good judgment when giving medications to your fish. Don’t try out several medications guessing at the right one. If you are unsure, you might consider consulting an aquatic veterinarian.

Article in English: If your flirtation is in the early stages simply exchange a smile.  Tell her how pretty she looks today, or compliment her on her outfit.  Speak specifically about her as a person, about her laugh, her eyes, and any unique mannerisms you pick up on.  Never touch her, especially at first.  Look her in the eye when you are speaking to her to show your attention is fully on her. Stand up straight, and don't slouch.  Never think that you can't date her.  You have to think positively about your prospects.  Older girls detect that level of confidence and are attracted to it.  Speak smoothly instead of bumbling over your words.  Crack a joke every once in a while that gets her to laugh.  Keep a smile on your face, and never frown. Keep the conversation going.  Always have something in the back of your mind to say when she is done speaking.  You don't want any awkward silences. Talk about mature topics such as a sports team you belong to, a book you have recently read, or something you know someone her age would find interesting.  Ask her where she works, what sports she plays, what college she plans on going to, and where her family is from.  These are mature questions, that show that you sincerely care about getting to know her as a person, rather than as a sexual object. If she is in a debate team, for example, joining the team will get her to notice and consider you.  This especially works when the girl knows that it is out of your comfort zone.  For example, join the book club she is in, even if you don't like to read that much.  This shows that you are willing to work in order to ask her out in the future.  You not only care about what you are interested in, but what she likes as well. She can be saying nice things, but her eyes might wander off.  You will want to hold her attention by the way you look, the forcefulness of your tone, or your overall endearing personality.  If she just doesn't seem that interested, move onto someone else.  To be a mature man, you have to understand that older girls know what...

Article in English: If your front and back doors are hollow, you need to replace them immediately. How do you know if your door is hollow? Simply knock on it. Hollow doors are merely sheets of veneer over a cardboard core. All exterior doors should be solid and made from the following  materials:  Fiberglass Solid wood Solid wood core (a layer of veneer over solid wood) Metal (Note: make sure metal doors are reinforced inside and have what is called a lock block. Otherwise, they can be bent out of the frame using a car jack) Having a door open in this way helps absorb any type of forced entry. For maximum security, all doors should be windowless, and you should not have windows close enough to the door so that a thief could break the window and unlock the door from the inside. A deadbolt isn't much help on any door like this for that reason. A big dog's the only possible hindrance with these doors, but only with the landlord's permission.  If you do have sliding glass doors, glass door panels or nearby windows, however, cover the glass with a security grate or grille on the outside or a clear, unbreakable polycarbonate panel secured behind the glass on the inside.

Article in English: If your front suspension uses MacPherson struts, look for a wear indicator, which is usually a grease fitting. Grasp the fitting and try to wiggle it. If the fitting moves around inside the housing, you’ll need to replace the ball joint. Many front wheel drive cars with strut suspensions should not be jacked up using the lower control arm, so it's a good idea to consult your owner's manual before attempting to inspect the joint. In general, you're going to want to jack the car up in the directed place as you normally would, on the crossing member of the frame. Let the MacPherson struts extend as far out as you can before you try to check the wheels for play. Rock the lower part of the wheel around to see if there is any play in the joint. If there is any play in the joint, it must be replaced. The ball joint assembly in a vehicle with strut suspension should be silent. Any clicking sound when you move it up indicates it's worn out and not working smoothly as it should. If you notice significant play, you need to change the ball joint. Alternatively, have someone look at the ball joint while you attempt to move it. It'll shudder slightly and look insecure if it needs to be replaced.

Article in English: If your girlfriend can't keep her hands off of you and is always touching you, has her arms around you, or wants you to hold her hand, put your arm around her, or even drape her across your lap, then she may be ready for more. If her actions have been getting more sexual -- like if she's touching your manhood through your pants, or placing your hands on her breasts -- then she may be ready for something more.   If she's more physical around you, then this means she's probably more comfortable around you. And she'll only have sex with you if she feels comfortable with you. See how she dances with you. Does she get closer to your body than ever? She may be trying to tell you something. It's unlikely that your girlfriend wants to have sex with you if you've never even  kissed. But if you've been making out for a while and have moved further than that, then it's more likely that she's ready to have sex. If you've touched her breasts, and if you've touched each other's private parts or even performed oral sex on each other, then it's more likely -- though not guaranteed -- that she may be ready to move further with you.  Just because a girl gives you oral sex does not mean that she's ready to have sex with you. Some girls give oral sex way before they're ready to have sex, while others aren't comfortable giving oral sex until after sex -- or they don't give it at all. Every girl is different. If you kiss for hours and your girl doesn't do anything more, she may either be waiting for you to make the next move, or she may really just not be ready to have sex. If she pushes you away every time you try to touch her breasts, take off her shirt, or touch her below the belt, then she is definitely not ready. If suddenly, your girlfriend's friends are nowhere to be found, and she wants to spend a lot of time alone with you, in one of your homes or bedrooms, then it's likely that she wants to get intimate -- to some degree. If she wasn't ready for sex, then she'd be more likely to avoid any uncomfortable situations where...

Article in English: If your girlfriend cheats on you, guess what? It's not the end of the world. In fact, you should maybe take it as a good thing. If your girlfriend felt the need to cheat, that means your relationship was unfulfilling in some way, possibly broken beyond repair. Now, it can be over, and you can both stop wasting your time in a relationship that doesn't work. Stay calm, take a big breath, and try to keep a cool head.  Leave the scene, if necessary. If you catch your girlfriend cheating, just walk away. If you find some kind of evidence, walk away. Call a friend, or a family member, and talk it out. The last thing you ever want to do is lash out violently or irrationally. Be the bigger person in this relationship. Stay calm, and decide what you want to do. Breaking up is hard. Your girlfriend's feelings for you might have kept her from telling you to your face, to avoid the pain of the break-up. So, really, whether or not your girlfriend is cheating, it's a bad sign that you've come to this point anyway. It's still important to Try to be objective and honest with each other.  Ask your girlfriend big questions. What do you want from this relationship? What are you not getting from this relationship? What might I be able to change to make it work better? Try to be as specific as possible. You don't need the answer to a question like, "Why did you cheat on me?" or "What did you do with him?" Focus on things that matter for going forward, not looking back. Try to keep things focused on her feelings and not on the way that you feel. Being cheated on hurts, and you may want to express your feelings and hash it out with your partner, but take a step back and focus your energy where it will matter.  If she's already given up on the relationship, there's little point in bearing your soul to someone who doesn't care. Walk out on her. The relationship is over, if one party has given up on it. If she wants to work it out, then you can talk about how you feel and decide whether or not you want to. Try to think about whether...

Article in English: If your girlfriend is ready to take the next step with you, it's likely that she'll be talking about sex more. She can do this in a lot of different ways, from talking about your friends who just started having sex, to casually asking your opinion on sexual topics. If the word "sex" is on the tip of her tongue, then it's obviously on her mind.  If she mentions sex while you're alone together, then it's even more likely that she wants to have sex with you. If she's suddenly very curious about which of your friends are having sex and which aren't, then she may be wondering when you two will have sex too. If she tells you that you have a great chest, sexy biceps, or amazing abs, then she's hinting that your body turns her on. Instead of telling you that she likes your shirt or that you have a great haircut, she's choosing to let you know that she notices your body -- and may be thinking about all of the things it can do for her. If she gives you these compliments while you're kissing or being intimate, then it's even more likely that she may want to take the next step. If she comes over, pats your bed, and says it's "really comfortable," then she may be hinting that she wants to lie down on it with you. If she even does lie on the bed and talk about how great it is, then she wants you to join her as soon as possible. This is a pretty bold move, but yes, your lady may just tell you that she's in the mood, feeling frisky, or just wants to hook up. This doesn't necessarily mean that she wants to have sex, but if she's comfortable enough to tell you that she's in the mood for something intimate, then it's not a leap that she may want to have sex with you. If your girlfriend has started talking dirty to you over the phone, sending you dirty texts, talking dirty when you're making out or doing something more, or even having phone sex with you, then she may be ready to take it to the next level. Of course, this could all just be talk, but if she's comfortable enough with herself and you to go this far, then she may be...

Article in English: If your hair isn't already blonde, consider dying your hair blonde. Choose one strand of hair that is at the front of your face and dye that strand hot pink. Part your hair to the side and get long side bangs. Also, get layers at the bottom of your hair that are barely seen. These are the colors that she wears the most often. Avril usually wears denim and black t-shirts with punk skulls on them. They are easy to find and are a great accessory with Avril's look. Toms are okay too as long as they are black or white or hot pink. Avril wears a lot of bold jewelry, and remember, to save money, the jewelry doesn't have to be real silver, it can be silver-colored. Also, consider wearing hot pink & black chunky bracelets to show some attitude.

Article in English: If your hand wart doesn't go away naturally or after trying the above-mentioned home remedies, then make an appointment with your family doctor — especially if the wart is painful or located in a very inconvenient spot. Your doctor will examine your hand and make sure it's just a wart and not some other kind of skin condition. Skin problems that can mimic warts include: corns, calluses, moles, ingrown hairs, pimples, boils, seborrheic keratosis, lichen planus and squamous cell carcinoma. To make sure it's not something serious, such as skin cancer, your doctor can take a tissue sample (biopsy) of it and examine it under a microscope.  If it's not a wart on your hand, your family doctor will likely refer you to a skin specialist (dermatologist) for treatment. If it is a regular wart, you doctor will likely use a form of cryotherapy (stronger than the OTC products). The doctor may have to numb the your hand before applying the liquid nitrogen. Cryotherapy, when done by your doctor, should leave no skin scars. Healthy skin grows and fills in the hole left by the destroyed wart. If you or your doctor are not keen on cryotherapy, then ask about prescription topical medications — they're usually just stronger varieties of OTC creams and ointments. For example, prescription salicylic acid solution is 27.5% concentrated or higher (compared to 17% or less in OTC varieties), which makes it more effective, but also more dangerous to handle. Another common topical prescription medication applied to warts (especially plantar warts on feet) is cantharidin, a compound made from blister beetles. Cantharidin is a strong blistering agent that burns warts off. It's often used in combination with salicylic acid.  Research confirms that salicylic acid is more effective when its combined with cryotherapy.  Prescription salicylic acid products are sometimes given to patients to take home, but there's a much higher risk of skin irritation and scarring. Cantharidin, on the other hand, is poisonous if swallowed and not typically given...

Article in English: If your ingrown hair scars are severe or if they do not respond to treatment, then you should make an appointment to see a dermatologist. A dermatologist can examine your ingrown hair scars and determine the best treatment options for you. If your ingrown hair scars do not respond to natural remedies and over-the-counter treatments, then you may want to look into laser filler treatments. A few treatment sessions with a fractionated laser can help to even out the surface of your skin and encourage collagen production, which will help fill in any pitted areas. Other types of laser and filler treatments include:   Ablative lasers. This type of laser treatment will flatten and smooth the surface of your skin.  Non-ablative lasers. This type of laser treatment will leave the surface of your skin as it is, but they will encourage collagen growth to help improve the appearance of your skin.  Filler injections. You can also get injections of collagen in conjunction with a laser treatment to help improve the appearance of scars, but you will need to repeat these injections every four to six months to maintain the results. Radix Arnebiae has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries to help reduce scarring.  Radix Arnebiae is also called Zi Cao and Lithospermum erythrorhizon and it is characterized as a heat and toxin releaser in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This herb may help to reduce the numbers and functions of scar-forming cells. You will need to find a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to get this herb.

Article in English: If your job requires you to be on your feet all day, break up the time you stand still by walking around the office or taking a walk at lunch. Since spider veins are caused by poor blood flow and circulation, it's important to avoid positions that impede circulation and use positions that aid it.  Avoid crossing your legs when you sit at home or work. Crossing your legs for long periods interrupts the blood flow from your heart to your legs, which can cause vein walls to weaken and spider veins to appear. Elevate your feet using a footstool when you're sitting down. Raise your feet to 6 to 12 inches (15-30 cm) above the level of your heart, which will improve circulation and help regulate the blood flow in your veins. It also reduces swelling in your ankles and calves, which will reduce the risk of spider veins. Avoid wearing high-heeled shoes, especially if your job requires you to sit or stand for long periods. High heels put extra pressure on your legs and can restrict the flow of blood from your heart to your legs, causing the limited circulation that can cause spider veins to appear. Wearing compression hose is one of the best ways to prevent and remove spider veins. Wear low-grade compression hose, available at most drug stores or health stores, to prevent spider veins. Compression hose stimulate your blood vessels and improve circulation, making your legs less swollen and achy and preventing the poor circulation that often causes spider veins. It's important to use sunscreen to protect the fragile skin on your face, but sunscreen can also help prevent spider veins from appearing on your legs, calves and ankles as you get older. Make sure you protect yourself from the sun every time you spend more than a few minutes outside.

Article in English: If your loss of taste is caused by a cold, flu, or seasonal allergies, you can try over-the-counter medicines to unblock your congested nasal passages. This will help your sense of smell, and related sense of taste, return more quickly. Decongestants come in pills, liquid form, and nasal sprays. Some over-the-counter decongestants containing pseudoephedrine are found behind the pharmacy counter, though you don't need a prescription for them. Some conditions, such as bacterial sinusitis, and infections of the throat and salivary glands, can lead to an impaired sense of taste. Consult your doctor and after a proper diagnosis, take prescription antibiotics to treat these conditions and help your sense of taste return. There is debate in the medical community about whether you need to complete a course of antibiotics or stop when your symptoms improve. Without a clear consensus yet, consult your doctor on how long you need to take your medicine and whether to continue after your symptoms have cleared up. An otolaryngologist, more commonly known as an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor, is a specialist in problems related to the ears, nose, throat, mouth, and larynx. If you experience loss of taste that isn’t attributable to a cold or to ageing, you should ask your doctor for a referral to this specialist, who can diagnose the extent of your taste loss and help you find a treatment for the underlying condition.  The otolaryngologist will examine your ears, nose, throat, and mouth and perform a taste test to determine the lowest concentration of taste quality that you’re able to detect. You might be asked to compare the taste of different chemical concentrations by sipping them and then spitting them out, or chemicals may be applied directly to the surface of your tongue.  Certain disorders, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and Bell’s palsy, can cause impaired sense of taste, so it is important to get examined by a doctor if you’re experiencing a prolonged loss of taste. Sometimes loss of...

Article in English: If your mother says no or does not pick up on your hints, then try new strategies.  List the reasons that you want to shave your legs, and plan out a way to present these reasons to your mom.  Separate your reasons in a numbered list.  For example, your first reason might be that you feel uncomfortable in social situations.  Your second might be that you enjoy the feeling of smooth legs.  Your third might be that you feel like you are responsible enough and old enough to start shaving. After making a numbered list of all the reasons you want to start shaving, you should write some sentences so that you don't feel unprepared when the time comes. For example, you might want to write, "My friends have noticed that I still have hairy legs and it is making me feel uncomfortable. Being able to shave would allow me to fit in more and feel more comfortable with my body.” Make sure you will have plenty of time to have a full discussion. A long car ride, doing the dishes together, or during down time on the weekend are all good times to have a conversation. Don't start a conversation when one of you is busy or about to leave.  Start the conversation by saying, “Mom, I wanted to ask you something, and I want you to listen to all of what I say before responding”.  This will leave room for you to have a calm conversation. This is where planning your argument will come in handy. List your reasons in a calm and collected way. Use the list that you made in the planning stage. You can say, “There are a few reasons that I want to shave my legs.  The first is that it is making me self-conscious to have hairy legs.  The second is that my friends are noticing that I have a lot of leg hair. The third is that I think that I am old enough and responsible enough to start shaving.”

Article in English: If your old photograph has dirt, sand, or residue on it, you may be able to clean the image by hand. Wear rubber gloves, and gently remove the dirt with a soft brush or soft-bristled toothbrush. If there is a large amount of dirt, the photograph can be gently rinsed under lukewarm running water. Use your finger to softly wipe away dirt, but take care not scratch the photo. Let the photograph dry in a dark place where it will not be disturbed. You can clip the image on a wire with a clothespin to dry, or you can place the image face-up on a newspaper or towel. If the photo turns red, yellow, or white while cleaning, this could be an indication that professional care is needed. The image may be too badly damaged to fix at home. If you find a stack of photographs that have stuck together, do not pull them apart. Instead, soak them in distilled water. Photographs are coated with gelatin. When they are placed in water, the gelatin softens and the photographs can be separated more easily. Purchase a bottle of distilled water from your local grocery store or pharmacy. Keep the water at room temperature, and pour it into a container that is large enough to submerge your photos. Place them with the image facing upward and let them soak in the water for 20 to 30 minutes. Use your fingers to gently slide the photographs apart, or use a rubber spatula to separate the images. Let them dry on a towel image-side up. Place a book or magazine along the edges so they do not curl as they dry. Before trying to remove the glass, be sure you make a copy of the image. You can remove the glass by heating up the image. Hold a hair dryer 4 to 5 inches away from the back of a print. After a few minutes, try to lift up one of the corners of the image, and slowly peel back the image. You can secure a tear or fix a torn photograph by using an acid-free tape. Regular tape with an acidic adhesive can damage the photograph over time. Look for an archival tape or tape with an acrylic adhesive at an office supply or stationary store to repair...

Article in English: If your pain is severe or lasts for more than a few days, schedule an appointment with a dentist right away. You may have tooth decay, a loose filling, or a cracked tooth, all of which need to be addressed by a dentist.  If your pain is only occasional and not confined to a single spot, you probably have nothing to worry about, but you should still see your dentist regularly for cleanings.  The sooner you see a dentist, the less likely your problem is to become more serious, so don't put it off. If several of your teeth suddenly begin to ache, it may be caused by teeth grinding, which people often do in their sleep. Wearing a night guard to bed will prevent you from grinding your teeth, which should make the pain go away. If you are experiencing more stress in your life that you are used to, you may suddenly begin grinding your teeth. Intense sinus congestion can sometimes cause pain that is easy to confuse with a toothache because it compresses nerves that are very close to the roots of your upper teeth. If your teeth have only started hurting since you have been congested, consider taking an over-the-counter remedy to relieve your congestion. You may just find that your tooth pain goes away as well. If your congestion is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms, see a doctor. If your teeth just suddenly started causing you pain, it may be due to a change in your eating habits. If you have added any new acidic foods into your diet (like citrus fruits, coffee, or tomato sauce), you may want to cut back on them. Acidic foods are known to break down tooth enamel, which can lead to pain and a variety of dental problems. If you don't want to give up acidic foods, try to rinse your mouth out with water after you eat them. This will help prevent the acid from sticking around on your teeth after you've finished eating.

Article in English: If your pain is worsened when you move your neck or upper back, cervical spondylosis may be to blame. This is one of the most common causes of left arm pain. More than 90% of people older than 65 have evidence of cervical spondylosis. This is a general term for age-related tears affecting the disks in your spine (particularly in your neck area). As the disks dehydrate and shrink, cervical spondylosis develops. It tends to worsen with age as the back wears out.   Moving your neck and upper spine can determine the cause of the pain. When movement increases your pain, this is probably related to cervical spondylosis. Heart attack pain is not lessened or worsened by movement or applying pressure on the spine or neck. If movement or pressure aggravates the pain and you are without other symptoms, it is most likely cervical spondylosis. However, this is still a serious condition that you should report to your doctor. If the pain flares up in your arm when you move your shoulder, it could actually be shoulder arthritis. Many patients that come into the emergency department with the fear that they're having a heart attack are actually suffering from this condition. This is a disease that destroys the smooth outer covering (cartilage) of the bone. As the cartilage disappears, the protective space decreases between the bones. During movement, the bones rub against each other, causing shoulder pain and/or pain in the left arm. Although no definitive cure exists for arthritis of the shoulder, many treatment options are available to relieve the pain. If this describes you, don't worry. It sounds serious, but the progression can be stopped. If you lose the function in your arm, it's most likely to be a nerve-related injury. The arm nerves arise at the spinal cord level in the lower neck and form a nerve bundle, called the brachial plexus. This bundle splits, giving rise to the nerves of the arm. Arm nerve damage from the shoulder to the hand causes varying pain, but usually this is associated with a loss in arm function...

Article in English: If your phone is in a protective case, you'll need to remove the case in order to get the SIM card out. Depending on the type of phone you have, the SIM card will be located in different spots:  Check for a SIM tray. Many modern smartphones have SIM trays along one of the sides. These are opened by inserting a SIM removal tool or a straightened paperclip into the small hole on the side of the tray. Check behind the battery. If your phone's battery is removable, the SIM is typically inserted behind it. Once you've located the SIM card, remove it from your phone.  For SIM trays, pop the tray out with the tool or paperclip and then pull it all the way out of the phone. You can then remove the SIM card from the tray. If the SIM card is behind your battery, you can either slide it out or press it in a little to pop it out, depending on your phone. Reverse the removal process above to put the SIM into the new phone.

Article in English: If your relationship has already ended and you’re questioning if your love is still there, make sure you remember what caused the breakup. It’s easy to look back and romanticize an old relationship, but don’t overlook reality. Sometimes people simply gave up too quickly without attempting to work out their problems. However, sometimes there are fundamental problems that just cannot be fixed.  If the relationship ended because someone made a mistake, it is important to determine if you can truly forgive and forget. You can’t create a future with someone if you are stuck in the issues of the past. Similarly, nothing will change about your relationship of no one has changed. If you broke up with your partner because you didn't trust them, either they need to have become trustworthy or you need to have become trusting. Past issues don't just disappear. Try to determine how your overall quality of life changes when you are with them and without them. If they become your #1 priority and your work performance, family relationships, and self-care all fall to the wayside, it may not be a healthy relationship. However, if you truly feel like a better person when you’re with them, that’s something you don’t want to slip away. Write it all down so you can truly see if the positives outweigh the negatives. Don’t hold back! Are you debating going back to this person because you are lonely? Loneliness, though painful and debilitating, is not a reason to be with someone. Jealousy is another powerful emotion that can make you start pining for an ex, but don't fight for them back just because you don't want to see them with someone else. That is not the foundation of a healthy and long-lasting relationship. If you can say with certainty loneliness, jealousy, boredom, or any other superficial emotion isn't the reason you're considering rekindling your romance, you may still love this person.

Article in English: If your screen is scratched to the point where it impairs the visual presentation--but the actual LCD display is unharmed--then purchasing a new screen cover is practical. If the LCD display has been damaged (parts of the screen are black or rainbow-colored), however, your item is likely beyond repair and you will need to purchase a TV/phone/computer. You can usually find the specific model number on the back of a TV or phone, or the bottom of a laptop. You'll need this number to make sure you purchase the correct type of screen. Make sure you have your manufacturer's name as well (e.g., Sony or Toshiba).  Higher price doesn't always correlate with higher quality, so look through your results carefully before deciding on a screen replacement. For a more focused search, go to Amazon or eBay and type the same thing in. You may find that you're better off buying a new item anyway--if the combination of their services and the screen's price ends up being as much as a new TV, for example, you should consider just purchasing the new TV.  Most tech departments (e.g., Best Buy) will replace your screen for you, though they often charge a considerable fee--another reason to purchase a mid-range screen replacement rather than the most expensive one. Replacing your own screen cover is not recommended. Your screen should now be safe from future scratches!

Article in English: If your shoes have a lot of dirt, grass, or mud on them, brush off as much of it as possible with an old rag. There is no need to scrub. Simply wipe them down to get the worst of the dirt off. You can also bang the shoes together over a trash can to dislodge a bit more of the dirt. Start by getting a small cup and filling it with water. Add 1 spoonful of dish soap. Dip the toothbrush into the solution. Scrub the soles of the shoes with the toothbrush. Make sure to apply a lot of force. The harder you scrub, the more dirt you’ll be able to get off. You need to get rid of any soap residue. To do this, hold your shoes over a bathtub or sink and rinse the soles of the shoes with water. If your shoes have laces, you should put them in the washing machine separately. There can be a lot of dirt collected in the shoelaces and around the eyelets, so removing them will help the washing machine get in there and clean them.
