Mixed conditionals

How can we express that a past condition has a result in the present, or that a present condition could have had a (hypothetical) past result? With the mixed conditionals.

There are more possible 'combinations'; for example, with future situations, but we will focus on the ones mentioned above:

a) Past condition with a result in the present:
If I had bought that house, I would be living in it now.

b) Present condition with a past result:
If she were Spanish, she could have become the Spanish Prime Minister.

“In my lifetime, I have never lived one day of peace in my country,” says Jose Miguel Sokoloff. This ad executive from Colombia saw a chance to help guerrilla fighters choose to come home — with smart marketing. He shares how some creative, welcoming messages have helped thousands of guerrillas decide to put down their weapons — and the key insights behind these surprising tactics. 

This interesting TED Talk shows us an extraordinarily positive use of publicity and its techniques: demobilizing guerrilas in Colombia. Advertising as a tool of change.
