Problem: Article: There are 2 basic categories of smartphone otoscope attachmentsthose that clip over your phone's camera, and those that attach by cable to your phone's USB or Lightning port. Shop online for a model that is compatible with your phone. A traditional otoscope is basically a magnifying glass with a handle, a light, and a cone-shaped tip that is inserted into the outer section of the inner ear. Smartphone otoscopes either magnify the image for your phone's camera, or act as their own magnifying camera, and record video. Scopes range in price from less than $50 USD to over $300 USD. You can check product reviews for guidance, and you may also want to ask your doctor if they have any experience with or recommendations for such devices. If you're a MacGyver-type, you can even try making one yourself! Most if not all models of scope attachments pair with a brand-specific app. Download this app for guidance on installing the scope, using it, and saving or sending the images/video. The apps are typically free, but of course you've already had to pay for the scope! Most otoscope attachments record video as opposed to taking pictures, since this makes it easier for the average novice to get some decent inner ear views. No matter if you're using a traditional otoscope or a smartphone attachment, never stick the speculum (the pointed part) more than 12cm (0.390.79in) into your ear. Your inner ear is very sensitive, and you definitely don't want to damage your eardrum! If you are unsure of your abilities, or if you're experiencing ear pain, let a medical professional examine your ear instead. With the app open and the speculum placed just barely into your ear, you should see video of your inner ear appear on your phone screen. Follow the product instructions for recording video, and move the speculum around slowly to get a full view of your inner ear. Do not stick the speculum deeper into your ear if the image is grainy, blurry, or dark. Check the settings for the product to see if you can improve the image. Self-diagnosis is not recommended by medical professionals nor the manufacturers of smartphone otoscope attachments. Instead, you should send the video to your doctor or another trained medical professional for a proper diagnosis. Some apps may provide a way to send the video directly to on-call doctors for diagnosis, possibly at a cost of around $15 USD per analysis. Based on scholarly analysis of certain smartphone otoscopes, the image quality and diagnostic quality of scope attachments matches up well with traditional otoscopes. In fact, some doctors may even prefer the results they provide.
Summary: Search online for smartphone otoscope attachments. Download the appropriate app and follow its instructions. Insert the speculum no more than 2cm (0.79in) into your ear. Move the speculum around slightly and record video of your inner ear. Send the video to a trained medical professional for diagnosis.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You are likely to run into your ex best friend again sometime. When this happens, you need to be calm and collected. If you can avoid talking altogether, that's great. If not, say hello, and be polite. If you see your old friend at a party and they ask how you have been, respond with something like "I've been doing well. I hope you are well, too." If you run into your former friend at a school event, just acknowledge them and keep going on your way. Being polite does not mean that you have to entertain your ex best friend for a long period of time. Answer any questions briefly, if you are comfortable answering them at all. Avoid asking questions; they only invite more conversation. Be polite if they try to start a casual conversation. For example, if they ask about your mom, say something like "My mom is doing well, thanks." The key here is not to add anything that might continue the conversation, such as "I hope your parents are well," or "How is your mom?" If you have no interest in rekindling your friendship, do not be too accommodating. Be polite in the moment, and leave that moment with closure. If you make it appear as though you miss your ex best friend that opens to the door to starting the friendship and/or fight back up. You don't have to say "It's great to see you," or "See you again soon." This will give them false hope for reigniting the friendship. End the conversation with something like "I'm glad you're doing well, but if you'll excuse me, I need to go talk to my date (or any other person you can think of). Goodbye."

SUMMARY: Try to be polite. Keep it short. Leave no room for misinterpretation.

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