My dad had a neighbor that played his radio loudly all day, even when he wasn’t home or was gone on vacation. Every time he left the house and his radio was still on, my dad would go and trip the circuit breaker to his condo. One day he sees my dad, who was an electrical engineer, and asked him why his breaker kept tripping — was it faulty wiring? No, my dad explained, the loud radio was probably just putting too much strain on the circuit because it was left on all the time. My dad suggested that he should try turning it down or off when he wasn’t home, and see if that fixed it. So the man tried it, and surprise surprise, the circuit breaker stopped tripping! @TheFeshy

My name is Konstantin Deblikov, and I am a Russian cyborg. I call myself one because have bionic prostheses to replace my hands, and because I don’t feel like a “disabled person.” My life turned upside down when I lost both of my hands, and I’m learning to live my new life to the fullest. If you are curious about what cyborgs can and cannot do, and what people without hands can offer to this world, keep reading.
Especially for Bright Side, I’d like to share my story and tell you what’s it like to be a real-life cyborg.
In 2014 firecrackers exploded in my hands.
I was 22, I was studying journalism and doing fire shows. I was lucky I only lost my hands, because it could’ve been worse. When I woke up the next morning, I was shocked I was alive. My friends had already started raising money on the internet for my prostheses, and from the very beginning I had no doubts that everything was going to be alright.
Of course, this kind of accident is very hard to get over, but my family and friends helped me through this hard time. Everyone around me was incredibly supportive, and staying positive helped a lot. If you experience something like this, my advice to you is to surround yourself with the people you love, do something you love, and move forward, without seeing any obstacles.
I’ll never be able to play my guitar again.
Of course, my life has changed. Although I still struggle with some demons and try to stay positive, I still have trouble accepting my body the way it is. I used to play guitar, but I can’t do that anymore. I switched to drums and electronic music and still play in a band. However, some very determined people without hands can play the guitar with their feet, and I think that’s pretty cool.
I can do literally anything, it just depends on me.
You have to be re-learning everything, all the time. Every new move and action takes time and effort to learn and to get used to. Whenever I get a new jacket with a new zipper, it feels like I have to go back to the beginning for a while, trying to figure out how to interact with it. And this happens with every new object.
But even with prostheses, everything is possible. There’re different types, some are more suitable for different activities. I literally have a hand bag: a pair for photos, a pair for daily life, and another for the gym.
I hate coins. No matter what kind of cool protheses you have, if they fall on the floor, it’s super hard to pick them up. Or, for example, a plastic card. You can just leave the coins on the floor, but you have to pick up your bank card. So if I accidentally drop it, I have to lean down to the floor in the middle of a mall, trying to grab my card for half a minute while everybody stares at me. It’s very uncomfortable. But it can happen at any time, and those moments are a constant reminder of how different you are.
People with disabilities are people first.
Nobody really knows how to react when they see disabled people, because most of them stay at home all the time, and others don’t usually interact with them. So, whenever I get on the bus in my hometown, I literally feel like I’m on a stage. People constantly stare at me, ask stupid questions, and try to take pictures. I don’t think anyone likes this kind of attention, so try to treat disabled people in a normal way, like you would want to be treated yourself. Be respectful, nice, and don’t cross any boundaries.
I feel like I live 2 lives. One where I am a cyborg wearing a t-shirt and I don’t mind being the center of attention. The other one is where I am a regular person wearing sweaters in the summer, because I am grocery shopping or when I’m just riding the bus and don’t want any attention.
My life is more interesting now.
I cannot say whether I’d change anything if I could, because the price is too high. But because of this accident and the following publicity, I’ve gotten to meet many interesting people and try out various spheres like acting, modeling, and public speaking.
Now, I run my blog on Instagram where I post photos and occasionally make jokes about hands, star in a TV shows, participate in commercials and social projects. Suddenly some doors I never even thought about just opened right in front of me. I try to take advantage of all the opportunities that I am offered, try new things, and accept various interesting proposals.
“Finally did an x-ray. Everything’s fine, I still don’t have hands.”
But most importantly, I help other newly enrolled cyborgs.
My main activity is social work. I help people with amputations get prostheses from the government. In Russia, anyone who has lost a limb has the right to get a prosthesis absolutely free, but it’s a very difficult procedure. But it is crucial to go through it and to get good quality prostheses, because that’s the key to be able to live your life to the fullest.
“Like, if you don’t like manual labor.”
People don’t prepare to lose an arm or a leg, and when they do, they have no idea what to do next. They don’t even know their rights, so I help them. Also, in Russia, nobody teaches you how to use a prosthesis. You just get a piece of plastic, and have to figure out how to use it yourself. And the better you can use it, the more you are able to do. Many people write to me asking for advice, and I help everybody with whatever I can.
I run communities on social networking websites that provide all the important information for people in similar situations. I am planning to create a non-profit that will unite these people. Hopefully, it will help to get subsidies and grants and help support anybody who has found themselves in such a difficult and truly life-changing situation.
Take care.

brightside--2020-07-07--10 Things We Often Do Wrong and Should Stop Trying to Do Ourselves

Every one of us has probably been in a situation where we ’ ve tried so hard to do something , but in the end , it turned out that we simply wasted our time and effort .
And sometimes , we just want to call the magical Mr. Clean or a fairy who can step in and deal with some of these problems .
But we can also evaluate all the possible pros and cons and decide which things are truly more convenient to do ourselves , and which things we ’ d be better off delegating to professionals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dye your hair natural colors with hair dye or temporary hair dye .
Hair dyes are always sold with instructions that will help you to dye your hair yourself .
Go to a professional : If you need to bleach dark hair , it ’ s better to go to a hairdresser .
Trying to make your hair several shades lighter can be very stressful for it , and the bleaching process has several stages .
If you wash the hair dye off too early or leave it for too long , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make your hair dry and dull .
Going to a good hairdresser can save you from some very negative consequences .
2 .
Trimming your ends and your bangs Do it yourself : You can trim the ends of long hair .
Just put it in a high ponytail , flip your hair forward , brush your hair , and trim the ends .
Or you can flip your hair forward , brush it , put it in a ponytail above your forehead , use an elastic band to fix the length you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and then trim your hair with scissors .

Every one of us has probably been in a situation where we’ve tried so hard to do something, but in the end, it turned out that we simply wasted our time and effort. And sometimes, we just want to call the magical Mr. Clean or a fairy who can step in and deal with some of these problems. But we can also evaluate all the possible pros and cons and decide which things are truly more convenient to do ourselves, and which things we’d be better off delegating to professionals.
We at Bright Side believe that people shouldn’t be afraid to delegate some important household duties or self-care procedures to professionals. After all, free time is a precious source that can be spent with your loved ones.
1. Dyeing or bleaching your hair
Do it yourself: You can dye your hair natural colors with hair dye or temporary hair dye. Hair dyes are always sold with instructions that will help you to dye your hair yourself. Go to a professional: If you need to bleach dark hair, it’s better to go to a hairdresser. Trying to make your hair several shades lighter can be very stressful for it, and the bleaching process has several stages. If you wash the hair dye off too early or leave it for too long, you can get a completely different shade or make your hair dry and dull. Going to a good hairdresser can save you from some very negative consequences.
2. Trimming your ends and your bangs
Do it yourself: You can trim the ends of long hair. Just put it in a high ponytail, flip your hair forward, brush your hair, and trim the ends. Or you can flip your hair forward, brush it, put it in a ponytail above your forehead, use an elastic band to fix the length you’re going to cut off, and then trim your hair with scissors. Go to a professional: If you need to trim your bangs, it’s better to not do it yourself in front of the mirror. In the best-case scenario, you’ll have to hurry to the hairdresser to have them fix the haircut. And it’s better to spend 5 minutes in a salon getting your bangs cut, than an hour trying to fix the hairstyle you did at home. According to safety rules, your eyes should be closed when your bangs are getting trimmed. This detail determines the perception of your face, so it’s better to try not to ruin it.
3. Shaping your eyebrows and correcting their shape
Do it yourself: You can maintain the shape of your eyebrows at home. You’ll need a mirror and tweezers. You should only remove the hairs that have grown too much and are outside of the official shape of your eyebrows. The main thing is to not forget to apply a calming lotion to the areas where you’ve removed your hair, before and after the procedure. Go to a professional: When you need to shape your eyebrows, it’s better to go to a salon. Determining the right shape for your face is as important as determining the proper architectural design. A professional will personally come up with the ideal eyebrow shape for you. Besides, professionals have numerous tools and beauty products that they can use to make your eyebrows beautiful.
4. Tinting your eyebrows and eyelashes
Do it yourself: Eyebrow tinting is a simple procedure that can be done at home, you just have to make sure to follow the instructions. Start by cleaning your eyebrows. Then apply a rich cream to the skin around your eyebrows and prepare the dye. Apply the dye to your eyebrows with a brush or with a stick, leave it on for 15-20 minutes, and then wash it off. Go to a professional: It’s better to tint your eyelashes at a salon because it’ll be more convenient and also because this procedure requires you to close your eyes. It also reduces the chances of irritation or allergies because of low-quality products. A professional will come up with a dye shade that will look the best on you.
5. Hemming clothes made of various fabrics
Do it yourself: If you need to hem your jeans, you can do it yourself at home, since it doesn’t require any special skills. Go to a professional: If you need to adjust the length of wool or cotton pants, or flared skirts and dresses, it’s better to go to a tailor. They’ll do it way better thanks to their professional experience and special tools. As a result, you’ll save not only your time, but the money you paid for your clothes.
6. Cleaning and washing your outerwear
Do it yourself: You should be able to wash clothes that have synthetic insulation at home, but you’ll want to check the clothing label to see if you can wash this item. If yes, fasten the jacket and turn it inside out. It’s better to use a liquid detergent for this, instead of washing powder and bleach. Wash your clothes on the delicate washing cycle at the temperature indicated on the label. Go to a professional: All outerwear with natural insulation should be dry-cleaned. Manufacturers often use rubberized covers so that the feathers won’t pierce the fabric. After you wash down jackets at home, they’ll take too long to dry and the insulation may start to smell unpleasant. Besides, the insulation often gets lumpy and loses its fluffiness. To avoid these problems, it’s better to dry-clean your things from the very beginning.
7. Cleaning carpets and removing dirt after a renovation
Do it yourself: Vacuum your carpet regularly. You can remove fresh stains yourself. To do this, remember that the dark part of the carpet shouldn’t be cleaned with bleaching agents, like wet baking soda or citric acid, and industrial carpet shouldn’t be cleaned with water. Go to a professional: Even if you vacuum your carpets every day, dust and dirt will still get stored in the carpet over the years, and this becomes a great environment for dust mites. To prevent problems with your health, it’s better to use professional house cleaning services from time to time. Along with the removal of the dirt, carpets will also get disinfected and mites, moths, and other living organisms will be killed. Thanks to getting them professionally cleaned, old stains will also be removed, and even frequently used carpet will look like new again. After a house renovation, it’s also better to use a professional cleaning service. Professionals will remove dried-on glue stains without damaging the surface and stucco that got stuck in the corners. As a bonus, a cleaning company can also remove all the construction waste.
8. Organizing and zoning your house
How do you cram everything you need for life into a small apartment? How can you give each member of the family some personal space? How do you accommodate guests and or create a chill space to calm down an infant? Where do you store seasonal clothes in a small apartment? Do it yourself: Reduce the number of large soft toys and hide the ironing board and the clothing rack when you don’t need them. Don’t forget to get rid of the stuff you don’t need any more from time to time. Try to visually make the space look like it has the right shape by arranging the furniture in the right way. Make the interior more monochromatic. Go to a professional: A professional interior designer will create a project especially for your apartment, taking into consideration your needs and preferences. They will zone the space and recommend the furniture that you should choose.
9. Repairing your favorite things
Broken or cracked dishes can spoil the way your kitchen looks. In addition, dirt can accumulate in the cracks of your china. And old wood furniture (even if it’s nicely polished) doesn’t look good in a modern interior. Anything that is broken should be sorted out into 3 groups — things you should throw away, things you can repair yourself, and things you need to take into a shop to be repaired. Do it yourself: If you’ve inherited polished wood furniture and don’t want to throw it away, but it’s too expensive to get a professional restoration, you can turn old furniture into something very cool. Go to a professional: If you need to restore porcelain, glass, or solid wood furniture. Almost everyone has their favorite chipped cups and plates that we just can’t bear the thought of throwing away. Take them to a workshop so a professional can restore your porcelain and glue the glass back with materials that are safe for your health, and of course to make your old things look new. You can also restore wood furniture and replace the upholstery in these types of places.
10. Cooking a sophisticated dish
Do it yourself: When you cook for yourself and your family. You can spend hours on the kitchen coming up with new recipes. But it’s better to not welcome guests with dishes you’re not even sure you can cook well. Go to a professional: The author of this article recently decided to surprise their guests with sushi. She had cooked this dish many times before, but in small quantities, and its quality was always great. She bought special kitchenware and products like wasabi and ginger in large quantities. She started making this dish but the process didn’t go very well, and the sushi rolls started to fall apart — which didn’t look very appetizing. And the author didn’t know what to do with all the spices she had left because she doesn’t make sushi every day. So the conclusion is that it is better to order a sophisticated dish for your guests, rather than try to make it yourself.

Food groups such as dark leafy greens, berries, and kefir are highly rated as “superfoods” by some health experts. Thanks to research and health specialists, we’re becoming more and more aware of foods that can turn our lives around. Plus, there’s always more we can do for our diet and our health, so why not make it a delicious journey?
Bright Side has researched the most highly-recommended foods that can help get us on a path to a healthier diet.
1. Kokum berries
According to this expert, these berries are essential for maintaining a healthy body. Not only are they bursting with nutrients, but they’re also helpful with inflammation as they help shrink sores and calm down allergies.
2. Barley water
Numerous studies show that there are many reasons to consume more barley and barley water. These studies say that barley water is good for weight loss and improving digestion as well as helping to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
3. Carob
According to this study, carob is a great source of nutrients and minerals. It’s also very good for reducing harmful cholesterol after eating it for 6 weeks, especially for those with moderately high cholesterol levels. The good news is that carob has low fat content and is often used as a substitute for chocolate.
4. Turmeric and curcumin
Turmeric and its byproduct, curcumin, are approved by nutritionists for their health benefits. Research tells us that turmeric may be linked to several healing properties, including an easing of symptoms of osteoarthritis and arthritis, as well as stomach ulcers and high cholesterol. It’s also good for the skin because of its high antioxidant levels, making it a popular face mask ingredient.
5. Beef liver
One expert says that this may be one of the most nutrient-dense foods out there. Only 3.5 ounces (100 g) of beef liver contains 3,460% of B12, which helps red blood cells and keeps our brain healthy. It is also extremely high in protein which is crucial for energy levels and cell repair.
6. Blackstrap molasses
Research tells us that this molasses, in particular, has a huge impact on our bodies. It contains important minerals, such as zinc, iron, and magnesium, as well as vitamin B. The high concentration of iron means that it not only helps with anemia, but it’s also a healthy booster during pregnancy.
7. Coconut kefir
This health expert recommends this superfood because of its gut benefits. Coconut kefir is different from coconut milk and water because it’s made with active cultures, meaning that you’ll get a health boost with each mouthful. It’s packed with potassium, an important part of our diet that reduces hypertension and stroke risk.
8. Camu camu berries
These berries have been known for their rich vitamin C content, which is crucial for forming collagen that keeps your skin, bones, and muscles healthy. Camu camu powder is packed with up to 750% of vitamin C per teaspoon (or 5 grams). This all makes these little berries an important part of anyone’s diet since it increases our vitamin increase with just a teaspoon’s worth.
9. Insects
Although they’re not part of every culture’s diet, research suggests that it should be. A study tells us that crickets, for instance, could have a huge effect on our probiotic bacteria while reducing plasma that’s linked to inflammation.
10. Propolis
This is a product from bees when they combine sap with beeswax and their own discharge, and it’s packed with antioxidants. Research has shown that it has many benefits for gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, and dermatological problems, among other things. It’s a perfect package of goodness and health!
11. Wheat germ
Coming from the wheat kernel, this food is the perfect supplement thanks to its high antioxidant levels and connection to controlling cholesterol levels. It can easily be added to your diet as a topping for your cereal, yogurt, or dessert. Wheat germ, however, is high in fat which may cause problems if you have heart disease. So it’s best to monitor your intake if you have any heart problems.
12. Cherry juice
Research says that this juice has positive effects on blood pressure levels and harmful cholesterol, especially in older generations. It’s also rich in melatonin, a hormone that makes us sleepy, which means that it can improve sleep quality, according to one study with older adults.

If you add up all the money you spend in a year on hair dye, bleach, lotion, spray, and other products that promise to lighten hair, you might just notice how expensive those are. On top of that, it can happen that many of them end up damaging your hair because of the large amount of chemicals they contain. Thankfully there are other options, which are not only natural, but also efficient.
At Bright Side we like putting together a list of secrets that can help you give your hair a fresh natural look. Lemon (or lime), chamomile, cinnamon, honey, egg, barley, and vinegar are things that you probably have at home, but they are also well-known beauty products that’ll lighten your hair. They’ll give a unique shine, silkiness, and strength to your hair, on top of nourishing it. And the best part is that they are very cheap and you don’t even have to go to the beauty salon to apply them!
1. Chamomile tea and lime
Chamomile is a very common plant that has many health and, of course, beauty benefits. That’s why it’s a good choice for natural hair treatment. Ingredients: 2 cups of water, 5 chamomile tea bags, 2 tablespoons of lime juice Boil the chamomile tea bags in water. When you get a fairly concentrated infusion, add the lime juice. Wait for it to cool down and pour the liquid into a spray bottle. Apply it to all your hair evenly. Wait for it to dry. Apply conditioner and rinse your hair. You’ll see a difference after 2 or 3 uses.
2. Cinnamon and conditioner
Cinnamon is a common ingredient in a number of products available on the market because, in addition to providing many benefits, its smell and taste are unique. It is also a great friend when it comes to hair treatments, since it is an essential ingredient you can use to achieve that light color we all want. Ingredients: 3 tablespoons of powdered cinnamon and 1/2 cup of conditioner. Add the 3 tablespoons of powdered cinnamon to the half-cup of conditioner. Stir well until you get a thick cream. Apply it to your hair. Leave it on for 3 to 4 hours. Wash and rinse thoroughly.
3. Vinegar
You can easily lighten your hair using vinegar, without having to spend large amounts of money and, above all, without using chemicals that could cause irreversible damage to your scalp. Ingredients: 1 part vinegar for every 6 parts of water In a glass, mix 1 part vinegar and 6 parts of water. Apply and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Apple cider vinegar will prevent any problems caused by the smell.
4. Non-alcoholic beer
Beer is rich in vitamin B, which keeps hair healthy. However, when it contains alcohol, its benefits are lost. That’s why it’s very important to choose beer without alcohol, so you don’t dry out or cause your hair to become dull. Ingredients: 1 cup of non-alcoholic beer Wash your hair with a cup of non-alcoholic beer. Gently massage your head. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly to remove all residue. You can repeat this procedure more than once a week.
5. Honey, vinegar, and lime
Limes are rich in antioxidants. They help to remove the excess oil from the hair, make it shiny, and also lighten it. Ingredients: water, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and half a lime Heat water and add 2 tablespoons of honey. When the mixture has boiled, add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and also the juice of half a lime. Stir well and put the mixture in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Once it is cold, apply it to your wet hair. Massage your head and let it work for 20 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly.
6. Egg, beer, and lemon
Eggs are a very rich food. They contain proteins and vitamins that our bodies need to keep our hair healthy. Ingredients: 1 egg white, 1/2 glass of non-alcoholic beer, and 1/2 lemon Beat the egg white. Add half a glass of non-alcoholic beer. Stir the mixture well. Add the juice of half a lemon and mix it again. Apply the resulting paste to wet hair. Massage your head. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly. You can use this treatment once a week.
7. Chamomile tea
Chamomile has a golden pigment called apigenin, which, when applied to the hair, automatically adheres to the hair shaft. Ingredients: water, one chamomile tea bag Boil a cup of water with the chamomile tea bag for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes. When it has cooled down, apply this infusion to the hair. Leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
8. Olive oil, cinnamon, and honey
Olive oil is a great ingredient, because it contains high doses of vitamin E, which strengthens and rejuvenates your hair. It also has vitamin C, which stimulates the formation of collagen, and vitamin A, which enhances cell regeneration. Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey Mix a tablespoon of powdered cinnamon with a tablespoon of olive oil and another tablespoon of honey. Stir well. Apply the mixture to all of your hair. Wrap the hair in plastic wrap. Let it rest overnight. Don’t forget to rinse the day after. This mixture can give you a redder, more caramel tone.
9. Baking soda
Baking soda is easily available and has multiple uses in the beauty industry. This ingredient is ideal for a number of purposes because of its convenience and effectiveness. Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of baking soda and water Dilute one tablespoon of baking soda in 1/3 cup of warm water. Mix until you get a doughy consistency. Part your hair into locks and apply the mixture with a brush. To protect your scalp, avoid applying the baking soda to the roots. Using a little heat can speed up the process.
The fact that these ingredients are all affordable and that you might even have them at home already, means you can save yourself a visit to the hairdresser. So now all you have to do is to relax, treat yourself, and remember that the results of all of these treatments take time to be noticed. Before seeing any results, you really have to be consistent and do some testing. Everyone’s hair will react differently. Don’t forget to test any mixture with a strand of your hair before applying it to the rest, just to confirm that you are happy with the color and that it doesn’t cause any adverse reactions.

There aren’t that many animals who can show us what being faithful truly means. Only around 3-5% of them have one partner for their whole life. And some couples even have their own relationship traditions that are the purest display of their devotion to each other.
We at Bright Side found 7 animals who mate for better or for worse and who set an example for all of us.
1. Sun conures choose their partners at around 4-5 months old.
These small parrots live in the northeastern part of South America. They are very social and live together in flocks, communicating in high-pitch voices. Before getting into a serious relationship, they start by feeding and grooming each other.
2. Grey-crowned cranes have a special wedding ceremony.
These birds that live in Uganda take their relationship very seriously. To show their commitment, 2 young partners dance with each other in front of the flock before they move away to nest.
3. Coppery titi monkeys may get jealous.
Titis live in the rainforests of South America. Their relationships are very special in the animal kingdom, because they bond with their partners emotionally. They even get distressed when they’re separated. Couples even remain together after mating season, spending their romantic moments sitting side-by-side with their tails entwined.
4. Atlantic puffins rub their beaks together, like they’re kissing.
These small birds rarely change their partners, and each year they come back to the same place to nest together with their beloved. Once the mother lays an egg, she takes care of it and the father brings food and defends the nest.
5. White’s seahorses stay with each other until one of the partners dies.
Both parents are very responsible, but mother nature has some tricks up her sleeve when it comes to these guys. In this couple, it’s the female who needs to put some effort into attracting a male. And once the male is “in love,” he is the one who gets pregnant and carries the babies for several weeks.
6. Dik-diks heroically defend their partners from other admirers.
These dwarf antelopes may be small in size, but they have big hearts. Even though conflicts are rare, males are always ready to fight for their loved ones.

7. Otters hold hands while they are taking a nap to avoid losing each other.
Giant river otters remain a loving family and live together in a community with other otters once they have offspring. They divide their family tasks equally, and sometimes other otters may even help by babysitting.
