We find out age through the standard VKontakte search.
This method will work even if the person has completely hidden his date of birth. The only restriction is that the person must be over 14 years old.
Procedure:
- We go to the page of the user we are interested in, look at his main photo, and also remember (or better yet, copy) the first and last name from his profile.
- Enter the copied first and last name into the search box. We indicate the country and city (if we know), as well as other data known to us. As a result of the manipulations, a small (or large) list of profiles should appear, among which the page of the person we are interested in will loom.
- Let's start playing with the "Age" column. First, indicate the approximate interval (from and to). If the profile of the person we are interested in still appears in the search results, then we are right! If so, then we begin to narrow the scope until the numbers from and to coincide, which will be the answer to our question.
Example.
Let’s say a person is 20 years old , but we don’t know that yet.
Let’s first assume that in the search, we indicated the person’s age from 14 to 20 years old and his profile was successfully displayed among others. Now we change one of the numbers (instead of 20 we put 16) and see that the person has disappeared from the search results. This means that his age is in the range of 16-20 years, and not 14-16, as we assumed. Now we set the value to 19-20, and we see that the person has returned to our search results. This means that he is either 19 or 20. Next we set it to 20 - 20, we see that the profile is still looming on the left. And this means only one thing - the man is 20 years old and we have successfully found out his age! Goal achieved!
In words, it may sound a little complicated, but believe me, this is the easiest and most reliable way to find out your hidden age!
What to change in the apartment of an older person. Check list

As people age, their vision and hearing may deteriorate, neck and back pain, general weakness, arthritis, dementia and other diseases may appear. And in these cases, even a familiar apartment can turn into a real labyrinth with obstacles. Together with the website StopRan.ru, we tell you how to make your home as comfortable and safe as possible for an older person.
Bathroom and toilet

According to statistics from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, about half of the time emergency responders visit people ages 65 to 74 because of falls. Among people over 75 years of age, the rates are even higher: three quarters of all calls for help are related to falls. And the bathroom is the very place in the house where they happen most often. To reduce this risk, organize your space properly.
For people with limited mobility, a sitz bath or shower with a bench is more suitable. You can buy a shower stall with a low threshold or attach handrails near the bathtub that are comfortable to hold on to. The handrails should be positioned vertically or horizontally, not diagonally. Ideally, two handrails should be provided: one will help you get into and out of the bathtub, and the second will help you get up from a sitting position.
It is also worth putting an anti-slip rubberized mat on the bottom of the bathtub or cabin. And instead of a mixer with two taps, it is better to install one with one tap: this way the likelihood of getting burned is lower. Additionally, it is worth making sure that the sink is stable, and if a person is moving in a wheelchair, that there is still free space below.
When choosing a toilet, give preference to taller models, as they are more comfortable to get up from. In this case, it is not necessary to change the entire structure; it is enough to buy a seat that is suitable in height. Grab bars on the walls on either side of the toilet will also come in handy.
In older people, the skin becomes thinner and more fragile, and it is especially important to properly care for it. Hygiene is also one of the effective ways to prevent bedsores. More information about this type of skin damage, as well as other wounds and burns, is available on the website StopRan.ru.
Kitchen

In the kitchen, special attention should be paid to fire safety. If you or a loved one cooks on your own, look into a stove with an auto-shutoff feature. Ideally, household appliances and all electrical appliances in the house (especially the iron) should have the same function. To further reduce the risk of fire, you can purchase smoke detectors. Some of them not only beep, but also send push notifications to the smartphone of the person caring for an older relative. You should also make sure that neither in the kitchen nor in any other room are too many electrical appliances plugged into one extension cord.
It’s good if the kitchen, like the bathroom, has a mixer with one tap. The sink, table, chairs and other furniture in the kitchen should also be stable.
Additionally, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends checking your refrigerator temperature and keeping it at 40°F (about 4.4°C) or lower. For the freezer, the optimal value is 0 °F (-17.8 °C) and below. This way the food will stay fresh longer.
For those who cannot eat and cook with both hands due to tremors and other reasons, special adaptive cookware is suitable.
Bedroom

It is better to buy a higher bed that will be easy to lie down on and sit down on. This also applies to sofas, armchairs and chairs. The height of the bed can be adjusted using an additional mattress. Alternatively, look for models with adjustable heights and lifting side rails to help prevent falls. But it is important to be able to use these functions and make sure that your loved one does not have problems with this.
Experts from the “About Palliative” portal advise you to think about buying a bed rope. It is attached to the foot part of the bed and is needed so that a person can rise in bed. Pillows and bolsters will also be useful; they will help relax muscles and change body position.
As for the mattress, doctors do not give specific instructions on what characteristics it should have and how hard it should be. When choosing, experts recommend focusing on personal feelings. But the bed should be placed where the person will not be disturbed by the light from the window.
Throughout the apartment

As a person ages, their perception of colors may become worse. Therefore, the British National Health Service recommends using bright, contrasting shades in the interior. This applies to beds, tables, chairs, dishes and even toilet seats.
It is important to check the floors in all rooms to make sure they are not slippery and remain that way even if they have been exposed to water. It is also worth freeing the apartment as much as possible from unnecessary furniture and removing all obstacles that you can trip over and hit, such as hanging wires, loose carpets, high interior thresholds. If the person uses a wheelchair, check that all door openings are wide enough.
In addition, it is useful to install lamps with motion sensors in the apartment. This way, the light will turn on automatically when a person gets out of bed or enters the room, and he won’t fall out in the dark while looking for the switch.
If a loved one develops dementia, you can place stickers with contact information for loved ones and emergency services near your phone in a visible place. And to important items like keys or a wallet, it is worth attaching special locator keychains that can emit signals if lost.
In addition, people with dementia may have difficulty finding their way around. In such cases, the British National Health Service advises using labels and plates: for example, you can put a large sticker with a picture of a toilet and a bathroom on the bathroom door, and a sticker with clothes on the closet.
The StopRan.ru website was created for those who are caring for a loved one or who themselves have experienced wounds and burns. The site's materials tell you how to take care of damaged skin, how to prevent bedsores, and there is a lot of other useful information.

How to find out hidden age in VK
First, let's figure out how to find out the hidden age in VK
from a computer.
1.
First of all, we will make sure that the user has hidden his age. We go to his page and look at the basic information.
- If there is no information about age, then, accordingly, go to point 2;
2.
Open (section “Friends” - button “Find friends”).
- In the search parameters (right, top) we indicate the approximate minimum age;
4.
Now we gradually increase the age by 1 year until the user disappears.
- In my example, the user disappeared at the age of 28, therefore he is 27 years old;
The point is simple:
When registering, the user indicated his age, but hid it in (more details in the article). When searching for people, the specified age plays a big role. We set an approximate value and the user appeared in the search, we indicated an age 1 year older - he disappeared. Therefore, he is as old as we set him last time, before he disappeared.
Elementary, isn't it? However, there is one caveat: if the user has never indicated his age at all, then it will be more difficult to find out. You can dig into the user's friends and figure out the average age (with the help of his friends, classmates, classmates).
