Depending on the size of your school, you may be lost in a sea of names. It may even be harder if you’re running against students who are constantly in front of the entire school like athletes or frequent award winners. Think about what makes you unique and how you want the students to remember you and develop a campaign slogan around that.  Don't: use a crude or vulgar slogan. It turns some people off, and could get you kicked out of the race.Do: consider funny acronyms (MIA: Mike Is Awesome), puns (Drop the Mike into Student Council) or plays on famous slogans (Just do it. Vote for Mike.) Talk to fellow students and get engaged. Put a face and personality to that catchy campaign slogan. Meet as many students as you can by attending as many different school functions as you can. Even if you aren’t the most popular person running, there’s no reason you can't change that. Passion is infectious. Showing everyone how badly you want to win and how hard you’re willing to work for it can help your cause. Don't: act "fake" or pushy.Do: greet people and explain your positions as though you were talking to an acquaintance. Take a quick poll to find out what the majority of your fellow students are looking for in the upcoming new year. Whether you ask your circle of friends, stand up at the end of a few of your classes, or walk around the cafeteria during lunch, you will soon get a clear picture of what’s important to most of your classmates.  It’s often difficult for students to express themselves especially in front of an audience. Asking your peers one-on-one might be an easier way to get authentic answers rather than sarcasm or silence. Ask yourself what you’re looking for and see if this aligns with the answers people are giving you. Better yet, give some examples to help ease conversation. You can ask whether people want an extra school dance, another vending machine, or an extra pep rally. Just remember to be realistic as the power of your position is surely limited. Speak to your principal, vice principal, and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Hazte notar con un eslogan de campaña. Visibilízate. Averigua lo que la gente realmente quiere. Habla con funcionarios de la escuela. Haz que te nominen.


Depending on the style of chore chart you're making, these may vary, but having all your supplies on hand will help speed you through your chore chart creation. For the purposes of offering a guided example, the following chore chart uses a dry erase board and markers. The first column will be where you write down chore names, so you'll need it to be wider than the rest. The seven columns to the right will be where the chore-doer marks whether the chore has been finished or not. These seven columns can be much smaller than your first. If you have five chores, you should have at least six rows. The topmost row will be for days of the week, so you'll need one more row than your number of chores. Do so from the upper left of the box to its lower right corner. In the bottom left triangle, write "Chores" to indicate the left column is for chores. In the upper right triangle, write "Days" to indicate the top row is for days. This way there won't be any confusion, and your chart will look tidy and complete. Skipping the upper left hand box, write out the chores in the leftmost column of your chart. You might also want to include special information here. For example, for bi-weekly chores you might put "Bi-weekly" in parentheses below the listed chore. In the topmost row, skipping again the upper leftmost box, write the days of the week. If you don't have enough room in your top row to write out the entire name of each day of the week, use simple abbreviations, like: M, T, W, TH, F, S, SU This can be as simple as marking a chore complete with a check mark in the appropriate column when it's done. However, if you want to do the marking yourself to keep the chore doer honest, you can use the same procedure when you are informed the chore is complete.  For example, when the chore doer's bed is made, you'll put a check mark in the box to the right of "Make Bed" in the corresponding column for the day of the week. For children especially resistant to chores, you may want to do a brief inspecting of the work before you...

Depending on the system and which BIOS version is installed, there will be variations in how to access and make changes to your system's BIOS. There are several different versions of BIOS, but the interface layouts generally follow a similar pattern and each will have a keyboard key assigned that is pressed prior to boot up in order to gain access to the utility. The most common keyboard keys assigned for opening the system BIOS are, the delete key, F1, F2, F11 and the Escape key. There is typically a prompt that appears at the bottom of the screen immediately following the Power-On Self Test (POST) informing the user which key has been assigned for accessing the  BIOS configuration utility. Use the assigned key to access the BIOS screen. Once you have identified the key, restart your computer, if necessary. Begin tapping or hold down the key during POST, and the BIOS configuration utility screen will open. The location of the RAID configuration utility will vary depending on the system's BIOS version. In some versions, the RAID utility will be found in the advanced BIOS features menu, while in other versions it may listed in the on-board device configuration menu or the SATA Configuration menu. Use the directional arrows on your computer keyboard to browse through the different menus within the BIOS configuration utility and locate the RAID configuration utility options. Once located, scroll down the list options using the directional arrows on the computer keyboard and highlight the RAID configuration menu option. Select "disable" and press the enter key on your keyboard. Then press the "esc" key to return to the main menu. Exit the BIOS. From the main menu, use the directional arrows to navigate to the "Save Settings and Exit" option and press enter. The system RAID has been disabled and the computer will boot up automatically.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Entra a tu BIOS antes de que se cargue la sesión normal de Windows. Identifica la tecla específica en tu computadora para acceder al BIOS. Localiza la utilidad para configurar RAID desde el BIOS. Deshabilita la función RAID del BIOS de tu sistema.


Depending on the texture of your hair, you may need to add some product to make sure your messy hair maintains the look you want all day long. It is important to have the proper tools of the trade before you get started.  If your hair is thick, coarse, or curly, you are in luck. This look is going to be easy for you. All you will need is a light styling product to keep the frizz in control. You will not need any kind of heat styling (like a curling iron or blow dryer). If your hair is wavy, this look will be pretty easy for you. A little texture cream should be all you need. If your hair is fine or straight, do not worry. With the right products, you can add texture to your hair that will make sure the messy look stays put. Get some styling products that add texture (like sea salt, volumizer, or texturizing pomade). You will probably need to use those with some blow-drying and curling. You may have short hair, medium length hair, or long hair. The length of your hair affects the amount of product you use, how long it takes to style your locks, and which messy look you want.  Short and medium length hair look best with both tousled messy hair and curly messy hair. Tousled messy hair is done with your fingers. If you are going for the curly messy hair and you have short hair, be sure to use a smaller barrel size of curling iron.  Long hair can also do both types of messy hair but generally looks better with curly messy hair. You will use a larger barrel curling iron because you want loose curls that you can tousle with your fingers. There are a few ways you can achieve the messy hair effect depending on the look you are going for and the texture of your hair. You can go for tousled messy hair, curly messy hair, or combine them.  If your hair is wavy or curly you can achieve any of the messy effects without much extra effort.  If your hair is fine, curling the hair first will help maintain the messy hair effect longer. Just tousling the hair with your fingers will not be enough, even with product in your hair....

Depending on the type of arthritis, there are several factors that may make you prone to arthritis of the knee. Although some of these factors are non-modifiable, there are others you can change to reduce your risk of knee arthritis.  Genes. Your genetic background can make you more susceptible to certain types of arthritis (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus). If you have a family history of arthritis, you may have a higher risk of developing knee arthritis. Gender. Men are more likely to have gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis resulting from high levels of uric acid in the blood, while women are more likely to develop rheumatic arthritis.  Age. You are at a higher risk of developing arthritis as you grow older. Obesity. Being overweight puts stress on the joints in your knees and can increase your risk of developing arthritis. History of joint injuries. Damage to a knee joint can be partly responsible for the development of osteoarthritis. Infection. Microbial agents can infect joints and possibly cause the advancement of differing types of arthritis. Occupation. Certain jobs requiring repetitive knee bending and/or squatting may increase your risk in developing osteoarthritis of the knee. If you have one or more of the risk factors for arthritis, consult your doctor about preventive steps you should take (or see section on prevention below). The most common symptoms of knee arthritis are joint pain and stiffness in the knee. However, depending on the type of arthritis (eg, rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis) you may experience a wide range of other symptoms as well. To recognize signs of arthritis, take a note if you experience any of the following symptoms:  Pain that often worsens with activities. Decreased or limited range of motion. Stiffness of the knee. Swelling and tenderness of the knee joint. A feeling the joint may "give out." Fatigue and malaise (often associated during periods of rheumatoid arthritis flares). Low-grade fever and chills (often associated during...

Depending on the type of blinds you have, you will either need to push them up from the bottom or pull the cord to draw them up. Drawing the blinds up will prevent you from accidentally damaging them. Some home blinds may be within reach, but for others, you may need a ladder. Ask another person to hold the ladder steady as you climb it. Some blinds may have a bar, valence, or box over the headrail at the top. This cover hides the brackets from view. To remove it, look on the bottom for 2 buttons or clips. Press down on the clips with your fingers and snap the cover forward and off. You should now see the headrail and brackets. You should have 1 bracket on each end of the blinds. Brackets look like cubes. They should protrude slightly from the main support bar. If your blinds are very long, you may have additional brackets along the center of the headrail. Hinged brackets typically have a panel on the front that snaps to the bottom of the bracket. You may see a raised lip with an opening on the bottom. Sliding panels are attached to the front of the bracket. They may have a small, raised shape on the front to help you push it to the side. A good way to tell is to try to slide the front of the bracket. If it moves to the side, you have sliding brackets. If not, you may have hinged brackets.

Depending on the type of event you are hosting, you need to figure out how much beer you will need. Estimate that party guests will have 1-2 drinks per hour. There are several different sizes of kegs to consider:  Mini keg: A mini keg holds about 5 liters, which is a good amount for bringing to a tailgate party or camping trip.  Cornelius keg: A Cornelius keg is a tall, round keg that is commonly used for soft drinks, but they have also been adapted by home brewers to use for beer as well.  Log keg (sixth barrel): A log keg holds about 5 gallons, which equals about 55 12-ounce servings, or 41 pints. Pony keg (quarter barrel): A pony keg holds about 7.5 gallons, which equals about 82 12-ounce servings, or 62 pints.  Full keg (half barrel): A full keg holds about 15 gallons, which equals about 165 12-ounce servings, or 124 pints. The full keg is the most common size of keg. There are many places that sell kegs, such as liquor stores, breweries, wineries, and even some restaurants. Choose a place that is close to your party and that sells the type of beer you'd like to buy. Planning in advance will ensure that your order will be fulfilled to your specifications. Planning at least 10 days in advance is a good idea. Some places do have kegs available for last-minute orders, but these may be limited in selection and size. If you are planning to serve beer from a keg at a wedding, fundraiser or other special event, you need to get the correct type of permit. These permits are typically issued by your state’s liquor control board.  For private parties such as weddings or holiday parties, apply for a banquet permit. Typically, you will fill out a form, giving information about the event, and pay a fee (around $50). Nonprofit organizations need a special occasion permit in order to serve beer from a keg at a special event. These are also issued by your state’s liquor control board. They also need a licensed bartender to serve the beer. Be sure to have proof of the bartender’s license with you at the function.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Determina cuánta cerveza necesitas. Encuentra una tienda cercana a tu fiesta. Haz tu pedido por adelantado. Obtén el permiso adecuado para servir en eventos especiales.


Depending on the type of paint you used for your countertop, curing time could take anywhere from a couple hours to several days or even longer than a week. During this time, it's important that you don't put anything heavy on the counter, don't get it wet, don't have food near or on it, and avoid disturbing it as much as possible.  If you don't give the paint time to cure, it could smudge, get dented or marked, or not adhere properly to the surface. Check the paint can for the manufacturer's instructions regarding curing time for the paint you used. Whenever your cutting or chopping, always use a cutting board to protect the paint and the counter surface. This will prevent scratches, chipping paint, and other dings and marks. To protect your knives and keep them sharper for longer, use wood cutting boards instead of plastic, bamboo, or glass. Heat mats will protect both the paint and the laminate from damage. Never put a hot pot or item directly on the counter, and always place a trivet or heat mat on the counter first. The same applies in the bathroom, and you should never put hot styling tools directly on the painted counter. Hot items can burn or melt the paint, leave scorch marks on the laminate, warp the counter, and separate components within the Formica. Use sponges and cloths, and clean the counter with liquid cleaners and soaps when necessary. Avoid scrubbing pads and harsh powder cleansers that could strip the paint from the surface.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dale tiempo a la pintura para que se cure. No cortes directamente sobre la encimera. Utiliza esteras térmicas. Evita los productos de limpieza abrasivos.


Depending on the type of thermostat that you choose, you may get to select an installation preference. However, if you choose personal installation, you’ll want to follow the directions very carefully as some thermostats require direct wiring into high voltage connections. Other Honeywell thermostats have certain technological requirements, another aspect that a HVAC expert can manage. Find a local HVAC expert by entering “HVAC technician” and your location into a search engine. A paper manual will come with your thermostat. But, you can also order a paper copy or download a digital copy from the Honeywell website, available in the Resources Section at https://yourhome.honeywell.com/en/support. Some of the new thermostats have a downloadable app available for guidance, too. Before you call for professional assistance, make sure to check your instruction manual. You may find answers in the troubleshooting section, in particular. Some Honeywell thermostats require that you download and use an app for day-to-day operations. Your instruction manual will tell you if this is the case. Lyric thermostats, for example, suggest that you use Apple’s HomeKit for installation and control of the unit. There is also a generic Lyric app available. You may want to consider what devices you own prior to choosing a thermostat. The Lyric app, for example, does not work on Blackberry phones. The majority of Honeywell thermostats come preprogrammed with factory specifications. You’ll want to look these over to see which ones you’d like to change and which settings are fine as is. For example, the day/time, fan setting, system, setting, various schedules, and temp controls may already be activated and awaiting modification by you. Look over the control pad of your thermostat and pay close attention to the buttons that are visible right away, as well as any buttons that are hidden under a cover or plastic flap. You will likely see at least one button for temperature adjustments, a hold button, an override button, and various...

Depending on the word you are speaking, you might emphasize a different syllable in order to pronounce it correctly. Some websites allow you to listen to native speakers pronouncing each word. You can also record yourself for comparison.  Emphasize the right syllable. For example, you should emphasize the first syllable when saying "hah nah", "dah suht", and "yu suht". But you should emphasize the second syllable when saying "ilgup", "yu duhl", and "ah hope". Remember not to be thrown off if you see different spelling for numbers on different sites. People can write the Korean symbols out somewhat differently when trying to capture the pronunciation. In Taekwondo counting, the syllable not being emphasized almost disappears (as in saying “han” for hanah and “das” for dasot).  Round the "l" in chil and pal.  It should sound more like the “l” in let than the “ll” in tall. The "sh" in the word ship sounds more like sip.  Pronouncing the "sh" as in ship is disastrous. It’s a reference to sexual intercourse! There are many cases in Korean when letters aren't pronounced at all. You won't sound right if you don't figure out which those are.  The ending "t" is almost silent in words like seht and neht. In Korean the letter "d" sound is pronounced as "t" when its an initial and ending consonant, and "l" is pronounced "r" when it's an initial consonant. There are many other rules; research them. English speakers often end a word with a sound. For example, they will pronounce the "p" in trip by making a small final breath.  Korean speakers don't end words with such a small breath sound. They will end a word with their mouth in the same position as it was when they said the last consonant in the word.

Depending on what kind of anesthetic was used, you might experience different odd sensations after your appointment. You might feel numb, tingly, and tender in the hours immediately following a filling. You might also have trouble eating, talking, or swallowing for a few hours. While these sensations might feel bizarre, they are totally normal. Be especially careful about chewing or talking while you are still numb. You might accidentally bite your cheek or your tongue. Pay close attention to the health of your mouth, even if you cannot feel any pain at the moment. Some pain and sensitivity is normal for a few days. If you continue to experience sensitivity while biting or chewing, however, that is an indication that your filling was built a little too high and might need to be filed down for your comfort. Talk to your dentist about coming back again for a quick fix. Your dentist might want to check up on you in the days and weeks following your filling to make sure everything is progressing normally. Keep your appointments and follow your dentist's instructions about diet, medication, and hygiene. For example, your dentist might recommend that you stay away from extremely hot, extremely cold, or sugary foods and drinks as you heal. You might also be asked to brush your teeth more often or to use special mouthwashes to keep your mouth clean as your filling sets. Follow all instructions carefully to make sure you don't run into any complications. While complications from dental fillings are rare, they can occur. Pay attention to warning signs such as bleeding, wheezing, excessive pain, fever, infection, and swelling. Call your dentist immediately if you experience these symptoms. Your dentist will be able to monitor your filling to make sure that it remains intact and that it is still doing its job properly. Sometimes fillings need to be replaced, and you will want to catch any issues with your filling as early as possible. Keep up with your dental appointments so that you can keep an eye on any potential...

Depending on what kind of fence you're installing, you might need to either install a cross-beam to provide yourself something to attach individual fence panels onto, or you might just set up the large piece of fence paneling and slot it into the fence posts. Each fence will be different, so you'll need to proceed according to your own plans for the fence if you're making your own, or following the directions of the fence kit you purchased.  If you're cutting your own panels or fence slats, install cross-beams with wood-screws between each set of fence posts. You can either use a crossing "X" pattern, or flat beams parallel to the ground, depending on what you're going for. Cut fence panels of the appropriate height for your fence. If you're installing a pre-fab fence, most panels will be quite large, but you'll need to install a post between every panel, meaning that you might need to install more posts as you work. You can either install a post, attach the panel and support it while you dig the next post, or go around and install all the posts before you start inserting the panels. Brace recently installed posts during this process to ensure adequate panel support while the post fill cures or sets. While you work, it's usually a good idea to use two-three inch galvanized wood screws to attach your panels securely. Drill pilot holes to keep the wood clean and sharp-looking, then install enough wood screws to attach the panels securely. Whatever kind of fence you're installing, it's a good idea to support the crossbeams with some supporting blocks to avoid putting stress on the wood as you work. You can use wooden wedges to level the panel. The hardest part of installing the fence is getting the posts dug and seated securely. After that, it's just a matter of filling in the rest with panels or planks. Take your time to measure each new piece of paneling for plumb with your carpenter's level and install each securely according to the directions.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Conecta los primeros dos postes. Sujeta cada panel con tornillos. Mientras trabajas, coloca un apoyo para los paneles. Continúa instalando los paneles.


Depending on what services you're offering, you'll need to purchase equipment such as floor cleaning supplies, trash bags, an industrial vacuum cleaner, and so on to set up your business. Get heavy-duty equipment that will be able to endure a lot of wear and tear and last for many years.  Make sure you have the right safety equipment to keep you and any employees you might hire safe on the job. Gloves and masks are a necessity if you're going to be handling toxic cleaning chemicals. Try renting equipment for the first few weeks so you'll have the chance to make sure it's up to your standards before making a purchase. You'll need a car, truck or van for transportation to and from your cleaning jobs. You may be able to use vehicles from an employer or other source, but if not, you'll need to lease or buy your own business vehicle. Reliable transportation is crucial for providing cleaning services to clients.  The look of your company vehicle is important. Driving around in a van that's run down with a lot of chips and dents isn't good advertisement for your company. Consider having your logo screen printed on your vehicle as a way to advertise. Cleaning services may start up as sole proprietorships, where the owner/operator actually does all of the work, because cleaning doesn't have to require many sets of hands. However, as your business grows, you may need to hire more people. Make sure you know about all of the legal requirements around this process as well. Also make sure you know your workers well. Taking into account the cost of labor, materials, and overhead, figure out how much to charge for your services you'll be making a profit. Do research to determine what the industry standards are for services like floor cleaning and janitorial services. You're free to negotiate prices with each new client, but it's good to have a baseline in mind so you'll be able to stay in business. You'll need to keep track of what your clients owe by sending them invoices that lay out requirements for payment. Let your...

Depending on what state you plan on operating in, you may need a special license from the Department of Transportation. Each state has its own set of requirements, so contact your state's DOT to learn more.  If you plan on doing interstate moves, you will need to register with the U.S. Department of Transportation.  Some states require a certain amount of experience in the moving industry and/or a specified amount of startup capital, so be sure to check your state's requirements. New York, for example, requires that the owner or a key employee have at least two years of relevant experience, which must be supported with tax documents. New York also requires you to provide proof that you have the necessary equipment to run your business and enough money to cover your start-up costs. . In order to legally operate a business, you must register the business with your state. Each state in the United States has a slightly different process for registering a business. You can find complete instruction on your state's Secretary of State's website.  You can choose from several different business structure options, each of which has its own benefits and drawbacks. Sole proprietorships and partnerships offer tax benefits, but the owners maintain full liability for the company. Corporations offer protection against liability, but owners often end up paying higher taxes. Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) offer small business owners tax benefits and protection against liability. There are different legal requirements and fees for establishing each type of business.  You will need to choose a name when you incorporate your business. The name has to be distinguishable from all other businesses registered in your state, so check with your state's filing agency to make sure your desired name is available before you begin the application process. It's also a good idea to check with the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office to make sure that you will not be violating any trademarks by using the name. In addition to registering...

Depending on what you built, you can finish your wall by turning or angling your bricks differently at any time. Popular options include:   Soldiering, or standing the bricks up so that they are up straight, like soldiers at attention.  Headers are when the shortest side of the brick points out. The top row of bricks is spun 90 degrees from the bottom one. Use your trowel to fill in any patches or gaps in the joints, making sure there is a nice, even amount of mortar holding your wall together. Wait roughly 45-60 minutes before continuing -- the mortar should be slightly hardened, but not set, before moving on. Brick jointers are cheap little tools that help you get the professional, curved in joints on your wall. Firmly press the tool into the joints and run it down the mortar, trimming and polishing your wall. A single brick width wall is easy to make, but not incredibly strong. More common is a double-brick wall, which can be easily adapted to your needs. Instead of alternating half bricks with full ones you simply need to alternate turning each brick on the ends, since 1 brick is as long as the width of two bricks. Every other row would begin with a brick that faces perpendicular to the direction of the wall, helping you keep the joints staggered. To help you remember where to place the bricks, think of how the wall looks when you're facing it. Every other row has a small, "square" brick, followed by the long bricks running parallel to the wall. Pillars are not incredibly difficult to add, but they do take some planning. They are basically squared "mini-wall," designed so that half of middle bricks "pokes out" into the wall, connecting everything together. Once you've decided on your pillar design, make sure you build them up at least 1-2 rows higher than the courses in between. You need to build the pillars up a few rows, then fill in the wall between them, only getting to the top of the wall after you've already finished both pillars.

Depending on where you live, you may face several bureaucratic obstacles that could slow, or even stop, your pool-buying process. Go to city hall and ask if building a pool on your property requires a special permit and obtain one if necessary.  You’ll most likely need to talk to someone in the department of your city government that works on city planning and community development. If you’re unsure of who to talk to, ask at the information desk who you should speak to concerning building permits. Applying for a permit varies between municipalities; depending on where you live, you may need to present your construction plans to a city official, allow an inspector to inspect your property, or simply fill out an application. The specific cost and time needed to construct your pool will ultimately depend on the design of your pool as well as the conditions of your property. Speak to at least 3 different contractors and get estimates on what installing your pool will cost.  You can typically find pool contractors in your area with a simple Internet search. You can also probably find contractors through any brick-and-mortar store that sells pools. Directly but politely ask contractors you speak to what their installation practices are and what the price of installing your pool will be. If possible, ask if you can read over a sample contract before hiring each contractor. Before you choose which contractor to hire, ask them for references from other people they’ve installed pools for and talk to those references about the work the contractor did. Ask these references whether they had any problems with their pool during or after installation.  For example, you may find by talking to a contractor’s previous clients that the contractor was often late and completed the pool installation over budget. Conversely, you may also discover that a particular contractor consistently leaves their customers very satisfied with their work. If possible, visit and look over pools that the contractor has previously installed to see...

Depending on whether it is inhaled or absorbed through the skin, Chromium can cause irritation to the throat, nose, skin, and eyes, with the possibility of eye damage. It can create symptoms similar to influenza, asthma, and allergies, as well as the possibility of lung cancer with airborne contact. In addition to chrome, any primer you use likely has the potential to cause not only the same issues above, but also have chronic negative effects on the liver, cardiovascular, reproductive, and urinary systems. This will decrease the likelihood of any sickness via inhalation of hazardous materials. More often than not, repair work like this is performed on a garage. This allows fresh air to enter easily and replace any fumes, dusts, or vapors that could bring you harm. Keeping your paints and primers closed in their containers while not in use will help maintain a clean atmosphere and limit your exposure to hazardous chemicals. This should protect your skin from any contact with the chromium and/or primer. Another option is coveralls. A favorite of those who work in metal shops and auto repair, these are the onesies of safety and provide ample coverage of your appendages and torso. Since you will be working with corrosive substances, gloves made of thin plastic will not suffice. It is therefore recommended to use gloves made of P.V.C, rubber, or neoprene. As for footwear, there are a number of chemical resistant shoes available online. However, since you will not be handling any of the materials with your feet, it's really most important to just find something that completely covers your skin. If you choose to use an electric sander, this will guard the soft tissue of your eye from any flying debris. It will also block any splashes of paint, primer, and fumes wafting from these substances.

Depending on your age, overall health, and the type and stage of your lymphoma, your doctor can tell you which chemo drugs are best for your treatment. Intravenous chemotherapy drugs are injected directly into your bloodstream. You may have several weeks of treatment, followed by several weeks to allow your body to rest. If you have severe side effects from the chemotherapy, you might be admitted to the hospital for a few days. Chemotherapy drugs administered through tablets tend to be less intense than intravenous drugs. Your doctor might prescribe this type of treatment if your body can’t handle the injection of chemo drugs, or if your lymphoma is at a low stage (stage 1 or 2). How and when you take them will depend on a lot of factors, so make sure you follow your doctor’s instructions exactly.  If your lymphoma is incurable, your doctor may prescribe chemo tablets to help treat your symptoms and make you more comfortable.

Depending on your background and beliefs, the import of "being lazy" will likely differ, but ultimately, it's a term that tends to carry a negative implication about not pulling one's weight or not doing things when other people are doing a lot; it also tends to imply that a person does little to improve themselves or their living standards. However, what about seeing lazy in a different light? Here are some ways to do this:  How about seeing lazy as meaning that your mind and body want to rest? Many people would be far less stressed and a lot happier and attuned to their own real body pace if they gave in to heeding the body's and mind's cry for a "bit of lazy" now and then. Lazy means you're probably getting a bit tired of something that is mundane and routine. And who said we have to love the mundane and routine of life? Sure, we can be grateful for all we have and for those around us, but this doesn't need to extend to being grateful for dull routine! Lazy can mean you've got an internal struggle going on about what you think you should be doing and what you'd rather be doing. It’s possible that those "shoulds" are visited on you by external pressures. Lazy can mean that someone else is not doing what you want them to or vice versa. It's not necessarily lazy then; it could be tied up in control issues (manipulating people into doing things) or in an inability to communicate clearly, and calling the behavior lazy is an easy excuse. Lazy means you've got something truly relaxing in mind. Like nothing, totally nothing at all, including leaving that unwashed pile of dishes... unwashed. Is that so bad when it's an irregular, spontaneous occurrence? What about the benefits like renewed vigor and a sense of well-being? Since when has getting the job done with less effort become a vice? Do you prefer to do things the hard way all the time? If so, whatever for? If the same result can be achieved with less effort, why not take that path and listen to your laziness? Think about this reality before leaping to a...

Depending on your budget and desired sound, your home theater will need an amplifier and preamplifier specific to your needs. An amplifier increases the power available to your speakers while a preamplifier controls everything and needs both an amplifier and speaker to function.  A tube amp uses a vacuum tube where a single ended triode tube amp works well with high efficiency speakers. FET amp stands for Field Effect Transistor because it uses an electric field. This type of amp is a popular solid state amp. Class A amps produce almost no distortion with a maximum amount of power. Class B amps produce some distortion and need to be turned on. Class AB amps are a combination of Class A and B where a signal switches between a Class A and B circuit. Amplifiers have many different configurations that can be based on the number of speakers, type of speakers, and room configuration.  If you're simply using a pair of speakers, stereo amps are a common choice. If you have a number of different high powered speakers, monoblock amps can be setup for each. If your home theater is advanced with five inputs or more, multichannel amps are best. Your equipment will depend on how involved your home theater will be but the basic requirements are the input sources, amplifiers, preamplifiers, and cable connectors.  Input sources are whatever you choose to plug into your speakers including Blu-Ray players, DVD players, and stereos. Cable connectors should come with input sources but if you need more or need extended lengths, go to your local home theater specialist. Your preamp should be easily accessible with space for both input and output cables. If you're using a home theater cabinet, make sure there is an opening in the back or remove any covering that can obstruct your cables. Depending on how many input sources you have, you may need to label each cable. Keep your cables organized as you connect them to your preamp. Wrap masking tape near the plug of the connector and label each source. Run cables from the back of your...

Depending on your budget and how many keepsakes you will need to purchase, there are many great ideas that can be customized to commemorate the founding of your company.  Branded apparel, a desk clock engraved with the company name and anniversary year, or a mug with your company logo might make great keepsakes to show your employees or stakeholders that they are appreciated. If you have a large budget and a production department in your company, you could even make a company history book or a short documentary to distribute to your employees. One way to give back to a community for a successful year of business is to give a donation, spend time in volunteer work, or make improvements to a local public space.  Consider giving your employees an optional day of volunteer service in the community to do a group project. You can work with groups like your local food bank, Habitat for Humanity, or your local parks service for day-long projects. Perhaps you would like to create some type of monument for your corporation that will stand the test of time.  A park bench, new playground equipment, or even trees planted along a freeway can be erected with a plaque specifying that it was donated on behalf of your company's anniversary. A time capsule is a great way to make a ceremony feel special and gives you something to look forward to in future years. It is also a great way to get employees involved in the ceremony.  You might put in items that represent each year of the company's history, each department in the company, or each employee (for a smaller company). Hold a company-wide ceremony to put items into the capsule and reminisce about the founding of the company and its vision going forward.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Depending on your budget and timeframe, there are a variety of options when it comes to finding a weave best suited to create your wig. Whether you’re looking for curls, kinks, or straight hair, consult a hair care specialist or beauty supply store to familiarize yourself with your best options. Synthetic weaves are more cost-effective than ones made from real hair. Most synthetic hair looks unrealistic. They may be made out of shiny plastic so choose one that looks as natural as possible.  A curly weave looks more natural than a straight weave. Some people have hair that is curlier or kinkier than others. If you have extremely shiny kinky hair, do not choose a wig that has large curls without any shine. Weaves can come in a variety of colours so don’t settle on something that is significantly a different shade from your own hair. Weaves that have a mixture of dark and light strands may look more natural than ones that are a single shade. One pack of 3 bundles is enough for a full hair wig. You can use 2 textures: natural texture and the remy closure texture on top. However, if you want larger curls or generally more volume, choose the appropriate bundles of weave to complete your look. If you have sensitive skin or your scalp gets easily irritated, choose a breathable weaving cap with a mesh lining. Mesh is less itchy than plastic or synthetic linings. Mesh is also easier to manipulate and conceal. A breathable weaving cap allows you to wash your wigs and cut down on drying time. Find a soft elastic velvet that the skin on your head and neck do not get itchy and irritated.

Depending on your card, your cash advance limit may be the same as your total credit limit available or a much smaller amount. When you take out a cash advance you are usually charged a one time fee and a very high interest rate that is higher than your interest rate on basic purchases. If at all possible, it may make more financial sense to avoid taking out cash advances. In fact, many times your credit card company will send them to you unsolicited, so you may not even need to request them. These will arrive in the mail and they look very similar to a personal check, with your information, including your account information, on them.  If you're sent cash advance checks without asking for them, remember that you are under no obligation to use these checks, but you should always shred or otherwise destroy them. They have your personal and account information on them and could be used to commit identity theft or fraudulent charges on your account. When you request the cash-advance check it might arrive blank and then you will need to fill it out or the card issuer might also ask you to specify the amount of each check and who it should be made out to over the phone. Sometimes credit card companies send cash advance checks that have a low promotional rates that have the same interest rates as your regular credit purchases. Be sure to use these if you really need to take out a cash advance and you have them available. If you want cash, simply make it payable to "cash" and sign it as usual. Cash advance checks can also be used to pay for non-cash transactions, such as paying rent, basically anything you would use a personal check for. The only difference is that these checks are drawing money from your credit line, instead of your checking account. Give your check to the teller and, if it is approved and the money isn't held for a few days while the check clears, tell the teller what denominations you would like your cash in. The teller will give you the money and you will be all done! Some banks may hold cash...

Depending on your cavity's progression, your dentist may recommend different types of treatment. If you have any questions about treatment procedures, ask your dentist. If your cavity is just beginning and is still very small, your dentist may be able suggest no invasive treatment and to treat it with a heavy application of fluoride. This is usually painted onto the tooth and left to sit for a few minutes. It will help restore the enamel in the affected area and, if done early enough, will remineralize the tooth. While this treatment usually only takes a few minutes, you won't be able to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes afterward to allow the fluoride to properly sink in. Most often cavities aren't caught early enough for fluoride to be effective. The cavity will then require a filling. During this process, the dentist will drill out the affected portion of your tooth. S/he will then fill the hole with some sort of material.  Commonly, your dentist will use porcelain or a composite resin to fill a cavity, especially for front teeth. These are top choices because they can be shaded to match your tooth’s natural appearance.  Dentists may fill cavities in back teeth with silver alloy or gold, as these tend to be stronger. Plaque also usually builds up more extensively on the back teeth. S/he will remove the infected pulp of your tooth, use an antiseptic to remove bacteria, and then fill it with a sealing material. This is usually a last effort to save the tooth before extraction. In most cases, you will need a crown (a “cap” for your tooth) when you require a root canal. In this case, the dentist will extract the affected tooth. After this, you can have the tooth replaced with some form of dental implant, both for cosmetic purposes and to prevent your other teeth from shifting position.

Depending on your degree level, the cut and style of your hood will fluctuate in size and cut.  The Bachelor’s hood is about three feet long, has a black fabric shell, and a satin lining. Most Bachelor’s hoods are “Oxford Burgon cut”, which are lined on the inside with satin fabric in the color associated with your discipline or university. The Master’s hood is three and a half feet long, has a black fabric shell, and a satin lining. The Doctoral hood is four feet long, has a black fabric shell, and a satin lining. The Master’s hood and the Doctoral hood are usually designed to lie flat against your back, making it easier to stay in position when worn. Most Master’s and Doctoral hoods will have a black shell, with velvet trim that extends around your neck, over your shoulders, and down your back. Though there are standard colors for each department or discipline (such as green for Medicine, dark blue for Philosophy, and purple for Law), your institution will determine what color your discipline receives. The chosen color for your discipline will be featured on the edge of your hood. In the case of a Master’s or Doctoral hood, the colored satin will be on the back portion of the hood, by the velvet stripe. The point of the hood should be pointing towards the ground. It should be all black on the outside when you open it.  The tip of the hood will drape down your back. The “V” section of the hood will sit on your chest. The opening of the hood will rest on your shoulders. Note that some universities hood their Master’s and Doctor’s graduates on stage. If you are a Master’s or Doctoral graduate, you may not have a hood until the graduation ceremony. The “V” section should sit across your chest. Do not put your arms through the “V”. Just your head and chest area should be covered by the hood. You may need to ask someone for assistance for this step. A thin line of color should be visible around your neck. You should also turn the hood outward at your back so the colored satin line is visible at the back. If the...

Depending on your history and severity of your gallbladder disease, your doctor will suggest a treatment plan. Your treatment plan can include watchful waiting, diet modifications, medication, shock-wave therapy, or elective surgery. Fasting and starvation diets can make your illness worse because they make your bile even more likely to turn into gallstones. You might need to get IV (intravenous, or into your vein) fluids so you don’t get dehydrated. If you have an infection in your gallbladder, you will need antibiotics. Take them exactly as prescribed. Your doctor may also give you pain medication to make you more comfortable. Use these only as directed, and don’t take more than your doctor tells you to. Cholecystitis often comes back and can sometimes be severe, so you may need surgery to remove your gallbladder. When you have surgery will depend on how serious your symptoms are – sometimes it will be within two days of seeing your doctor, but other times you may be able to wait a little while. If a tumor is causing your gallbladder problems, you will need to have it removed.  Most gallbladder surgeries are done with small instruments and cameras through tiny incisions (laparoscopic surgery), so you won’t even have big scars. You don’t need your gallbladder! Other parts of your body can take over your gallbladder’s job once it’s removed. You should be able to return to your normal activities in about two weeks if you have laparoscopic surgery. In the meantime, take time off of work to rest. Don't drive for the first week. Incorporate slow walking into your day after a few days of rest, and gradually increase your activity. Start eating a normal, healthy diet when you get home from the hospital. Ask your doctor if you have any specific questions about recovery.

Depending on your needs, hiring a bodyguard can set you back from $200 to over $900 a day, with expenses depending on the level of potential danger and if you need an armed guard. Using your salary as a guide, decide how much you're willing to spend on a bodyguard.  Bodyguards from respected agencies will cost more than less reliable bodyguards. Check many different bodyguard options to make sure you're getting the best guard for your price. Most bodyguards belong to one of two different classes. Executive protection bodyguards protect celebrities, politicians, royalty, or others needing professional protection. Hostile environment bodyguards are more military-oriented and carry out close, constant protection. Some bodyguards are trained for round-the-clock protection, while others only guard during nights or while transporting their client from one location to another. Think about your needs and where you will most need your bodyguard. Independently-contracted bodyguards do exist, but it might be harder to find a reliable source unless you ask for recommendations from those you know. If you don't know many others with a bodyguard, research respected agencies in your area. Make sure the agency you choose is legitimate before contacting them. Check for online reviews or previous clients to gauge their authenticity.

Depending on your personality, you may want to choose a sport or form of exercise that won't cause you any further stress. The last thing you want to do is come home from a long day and feel angry or frustrated with yourself or others.  If you want to run, try running alone. Or, if you want to run with others, train yourself to stop seeing it as a race or competition. Bicycling is a great form of exercise that can be done on your own. You can even incorporate biking into your day by riding to and from work/school instead of driving. If you're prone to having a competitive mindset, consider a less intense form of exercise like Pilates or yoga. These are workouts that you can do alone or in groups and there's no element of competition. Ultimately, the form of exercise you choose should be something you enjoy doing. Exercise should be a regular part of every healthy lifestyle. However, it's important that you don't try to push yourself too hard without the proper training or muscle development.  You may end up injuring yourself if you attempt to do too much too soon. Start small and work your way up. For example, try going for long walks before you take up running. It may feel daunting to think about when you can find time to work out. After work you'll have the commute home, then you'll need to make dinner and tend to any domestic responsibilities. However, exercise doesn't have to be done all at once in a long, exhausting block. You can cater your workout schedule to meet your needs by working around other obligations.  If you can't make time for a long block of exercise or if you're not yet physically capable of longer workouts, try breaking it up into chunks that can be incorporated throughout your day. For example, if 30 minutes is too much, try spacing out three 10-minute workout sessions. You might also try interval training, which alternates between short bursts of high-intensity exercise lasting around 60 to 90 seconds with periods of lower-intensity walking/jogging. If you're stressed out after a long...

Depending on your project, use clothing made of wool, cashmere, or silk for the longest-lasting results. These fibers are made from animals, and food coloring stays in them better than other sorts of fibers, like cotton, linen, and some synthetic fibers. If you have clothes that you want to dye that aren’t made from protein fibers, that’s okay too! You can still dye them—just keep in mind that the color may fade more quickly. Cotton clothes can be dyed with food coloring, but the color won’t be as vibrant and will fade out more quickly. If you want a lighter color anyways, though, cotton is a great way to go. Rub salt into your cotton shirt before you begin to achieve more vibrant colors. There are also ways to set in the color after the clothes have been dyed. Before you begin dyeing anything, lay out some towels or sheets that you don’t mind getting discolored. There are ways to remove stains from food coloring accidents, but it’s easier if you can avoid them altogether. You may also want to wear old clothing and pull back your hair before you get started. Use a plastic bottle for each color you want to incorporate, and fill each one with the 1 cup (240 mL) of water and at least 6 drops of food coloring—you can add more, though, if you want a darker shade. Replace the caps, shake the bottles, and set them to the side so they’re ready to use later. If your bottles don't come with a nozzle, prepare them for the tie-dyeing process by using a thumbtack to poke a hole through the lid of each water bottle after they’ve been filled. That way you can squeeze the bottle and distribute the color with a little more control. Put your clothes into the bowl and add enough water and white vinegar to fully saturate them. Depending on what size your bowl or container is, you may need anywhere from 16 ounces (450 g) to 32 ounces (910 g) each of water and white vinegar. The pre-soak in water and vinegar prepares the clothing to accept the dye. After the 30-minute soak, wring out the clothes and prepare them for tie-dyeing....

Depending on your reasons for making the video, you may want to invest in a high-quality camera to create a professional-looking project, or you may want to use whatever is available for a cheaper option. Whatever the case, getting a camera to shoot video on should be your first step.   Cellphone videos are super-cheap and really easy to use. They can be a little shaky, however, and the sound is usually not very good, but if you want to grab some video quickly and easily, the camera on your cell is a good option.  Digital photo cameras regularly have video features, and some are quite cheap and fairly high-quality. Cameras with SD cards are widely available and user-friendly.  HD Cameras can run anywhere between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars and will look very professional. Many low-budget Hollywood movies have been shot on basic HD cameras you can buy at electronics stores like Best Buy, or even explore renting options in your area. Whether you're shooting a birthday party, concert, a wedding, or some other event, get to the place early and do some scouting to see the right angles for shooting video. Find a few comfortable positions and shoot from multiple angles to get different footage that you'll be able to edit together later into a nice product.  If you've got a helper, you can shoot simultaneously from different angles to provide cuts in your finished product with editing. This can be a cool effect that will make your finished product seem finished and professional. Try to stay out of peoples' way, especially if there's a sizable crowd. You want to get the close shot and the right angle, but you're not the only one there. Make sure everyone can see and shoot from a reasonable distance. To be ready for spontaneous moments, keep the camera going! Pick the right time to start and let the camera warm up, so the video begins before the actual action you want to capture.

Depending on your skills, style, and ease with the program, you can do many different things here. You can add more layers and get even more detailed, or skip straight to the shading section. Just remember that more layers are good if you want to fix one aspect of a picture and not the entire thing. This is when you can add things like more detail to the eyes, pockets, and creases in the clothing, and structure to the background. To start shading, pick the eyedropper tool and use it on the area you want to shade. Then go into the color picker and drag the color to a darker shade. Use that color and the brush tool to shade the area you're working on. Repeat to add more shading and shade the entire drawing. First, save a copy of the file so that you can go back and work on it later if you choose. Since .PNG and.JPEG can't handle them, you'll have to merge all layers into one in order to save in those formats. Go to file, and save as. Save the file as a .PNG or .JPEG. If you ever want to go back and change something in the drawing, you can open the .PSD file, or whatever file type the program you have used.

Depending on your symptoms, you may need to see a doctor to treat your breathing difficulties. Some breathing problems are symptomatic of a more serious health problem. See a doctor right away if you experience any of the following symptoms:  difficulty breathing while lying flat  high fever and/or chills swelling in the feet and ankles feeling winded from walking up a flight of stairs feeling out of breath while doing moderate walking on a level surface wheezing while you breathe during physical activity chronic coughing and persistent gasping for air If you experience a sudden onset of shortness of breath (called acute shortness of breath), it could be caused by many possible conditions. If you do not have any pain or other symptoms associated with your shortness of breath, it could be a simple case of overexertion. However, it could also be a more serious medical problem. Talk to your doctor right away to assess whether you have any other medical issues. Common ailments associated with acute shortness of breath include, but are not limited to:  asthma broken ribs carbon monoxide poisoning collapsed lung elevation sickness fluid build up around the heart or lungs heart attack heart failure low blood pressure obstruction in the upper airways pulmonary embolism pulmonary infection (pneumonia) sudden loss of blood Chronic (or long lasting) shortness of breath is usually caused by a medical problem. It could be something relatively benign and easy to fix, like being unaccustomed to physical activity. However, many of the conditions that cause chronic breathing problems are very serious. Talk to your doctor to evaluate your overall health if you've experienced breathing problems lasting longer than two weeks. Common conditions associated with chronic breathing problems include, but are not limited to:  asthma chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder deconditioning of the body after prolonged periods of inactivity heart dysfunction interstitial lung disease lung cancer obesity tuberculosis

Depending on your taste, it will either be the same pitch as your batter, or vary a little. Follow the same process, periodically taking the time to smooth out the wrinkles in the plastic covering with a cloth or a napkin as you bang on it. This will help make the tone uniform across the drum, so the wrinkles won't settle out later and change the sound. To make sure your bottom and top heads have the same pitch, try muting the top head while you check the tune of the bottom. To do this, try setting the top head face-down on a drum stool while you check the bottom head. The snares themselves are also very important, so it's a good idea to keep them in pristine condition. Try to tighten them so that they are flat across the skin of the drum. Too tight and it will bow off of the middle, too loose and it won't touch at all. A good rule of thumb is to tighten the snares until just after they stop rattling.

Depositing at your credit union is a lot like depositing at a bank. Take your endorsed check and your account number. However, credit union members can also deposit checks at other credit unions. Most credit unions participate in shared branching. Use the locator at https://co-opcreditunions.org/locator/ to find the nearest branch. If you’re visiting your credit union, then fill out a deposit slip, just as you would at a bank. However, if you’re visiting a different credit union, you should ask if you need to use a special deposit slip. Provide the teller with the name of your branch and possibly the address of the main branch of your credit union. This is also a good opportunity to withdraw cash without paying the fee credit union customers normally pay at ATMs. Ask for a receipt that shows your current balance before leaving.

Keep in mind that there’s a very good chance that someone you know – a classmate, roommate, or friend – is going through the same things you are. Learning about depression and its causes can help you understand what you are going through and how to get better, and can also help you come to terms with the fact that your depression is not your fault and is nothing to be ashamed of.  You may be able to find information about depression at your school’s student health center or counseling office, or on your school’s student resources website. Look for information about depression on reputable websites, like the website of the National Institute of Mental Health.  Consider signing up for a class or seminar on mental health at your school. Your campus may have student organizations or clubs dedicated to mental health advocacy, like NAMI on Campus. These organizations are dedicated to breaking down the stigma associated with mental illness, and can be an excellent source of support for students struggling with depression and other mental health issues.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Recuerda que no estás solo. Infórmate acerca de la depresión. Únete a una organización de concientización o defensa de la salud mental.


Depression can make it difficult to concentrate and focus, especially on task-based work or process-related work. But focusing on developing your career can help you to hide the fact that you are feeling depressed. Try to set work goals every day that are realistic and productive and make daily to-do lists. Take good notes during meetings so you do not appear to be distracted or troubled. Maintain good communication with your clients and strive to meet their expectations.  While setting goals and keeping to-do lists can keep you on track and distracted from your depression, you may start to notice that your depression is making it harder and harder to concentrate. Over time, if you do not get help for your depression, it may become very difficult to focus on your career and you may not be able to balance your career with your troubled mental state. Spend extra time on self-care during the day by taking frequent breaks, talking with coworkers, going for a walk, or getting a healthy snack. Be extra gentle with yourself as you try to continue to be productive at work in spite of the depression. It can be difficult to hide your depression when someone talks about their depression or anxiety in a conversation at the office. You may want to change the subject when depression or anxiety comes up so you do not feel obligated to share your feelings of depression as well, or excuse yourself from the conversation. Be aware that sharing your feelings of depression can often make you feel better and less alone. Though avoiding conversations around depression and anxiety can help you to keep your depression hidden and secret, it will likely not make you feel less depressed.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Concéntrate en el trabajo y no en la depresión. Evita las conversaciones sobre la depresión o la ansiedad.


Depression should not determine your schedule. When it does, you avoid social interaction and productivity and, as a result, you keep on rolling in its negative cycle. Try to make your day full and full of useful and handy activities to stay busy and to accomplish tasks to give you encouragement. Staying busy and productive is one of the best ways to help to alleviate depression. Routines can help, too. As humans, we like feeling safe and knowing what to expect – which is exactly what having a routine can do. Have rituals that you can rely on every day whether it's lunch with a friend, yoga, cooking dinner, or a bath. This is time you know your brain can slow down. When you're planning your busy day, be sure to always make time for your favorite activities. This will boast your motivation and will lift up your mood. Don't feel guilty about that movie! It's now more than ever before that you deserve adequate time to be happy. If you catch yourself feeling guilty for getting that pedicure or scheduling in an hour-long bath, remember that being a mom is a 24/7 job. In time, you won't have time for you. This is just you getting everything on your to-do list out of the way while you can. . Just like bright lights, exercising and sexual activity release two hormones that make you feel joyful – dopamine and endorphins. These hormones are responsible for feelings such as euphoria, excess energy and hopefulness. These are all very important to experience throughout your entire life, but especially during pregnancy. Naturally, you don’t have to exercise vigorously. Pilates,  yoga, and other similar exercises are both very suitable during a pregnancy.  Apart from helping your body release those “happy” hormones and thus fight depression, exercise will help you keep to your initial weight. Very often pregnant women become depressed because of the body changes they endure, thus making them feel unattractive. Workouts, even light ones, will help you feel fit and strong and will therefore soothe the sense of being...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Planifica y estructura tu día. Tómate un tiempo para las cosas que disfrutas. Haz que el ejercicio regular sea una prioridad. Haz que el descanso sea una prioridad. Únete a un grupo de apoyo.


Depressive thinking is overwhelmingly negative. One of the most helpful methods of overcoming depression is learning to  change negative thought patterns. This is a major undertaking to do on your own. It is usually most productive when you are guided into changing negative thought patterns with your psychologist or therapist in cognitive behavioral therapy. In the meantime, you can simply focus on becoming more aware of your unhealthy thought patterns.  When you are feeling particularly low or down, look back over your thoughts. What have you been saying to yourself for the past few hours or days? More than likely, these thoughts are negative and contributing to your poor mood. Aim to identify your negative thinking for a few days. Notice negative thoughts, acknowledge them as being negative and unhelpful to your situation, and release them. Remind yourself that thoughts are just thoughts; they aren't facts or truths.  Once you become good at spotting negative thought patterns, you can try to challenge these thoughts. Is what you're saying to yourself logical and realistic? Or, is it exaggerated in some way? Can you think of evidence to refute these negative statements? Try to attack your negative thinking by pointing out how irrational it is, then restate your self-talk to be more realistic. For example, you might say "My symptoms will never improve". If you can note even the smallest improvements in your symptoms, such as you getting better sleep or being able to complete more schoolwork, then you have evidence to refute this claim. Reframe your self-talk with this evidence in mind. A new statement might be: "It is taking time for my symptoms to improve dramatically, but I do see that my sleep has gotten better and I have been getting more schoolwork done." Journaling can be a cathartic experience since it allows you to unload your worries, problems, and stressors onto a sheet of paper. In regards to depression, journaling can also help you to problem-solve and track patterns in your symptoms. Write in...

Supervisa tus pensamientos. Escribe un diario todas las noches. Realiza ejercicios de relajación.


Dermabrasion is a method of exfoliating the skin, using a rotating wire brush or diamond wheel, which removes the top layers of skin over and around the scar. In the weeks following the procedure, new skin will grow back, and the appearance of the scar will be greatly reduced. Dermabrasion is usually used for acne and other facial scars, though it can be performed on the legs by a qualified surgeon. Dermabrasion on the legs is a delicate procedure as the skin on the legs is very thin and runs the risk of doing more harm than good if done incorrectly.  Dermabrasion on the legs is usually only recommend for dark spots or indented scars caused by mosquito bites, etc. Keloid or hypertrophic scars (raised scars) should not be treated with dermabrasion. Make an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can analyse your scarring and decide whether you are a good candidate for dermabrasion. Be aware that these kinds of aesthetic procedures are not usually covered by insurance. Chemical peels can be used to treat superficially scarring on the legs, and works particularly well for scars caused by hyperpigmentation. During a chemical peel, a dermatologist will apply a layer of acidic solution to the scarred skin and leave it on for approximately two minutes. You will experience a burning sensation, which should cease once the acid has been neutralized and the solution washed off. In the two weeks following the procedure, the top layers of skin will begin to peel away, leaving smooth, new skin behind.  Depending on the scarring, you may need to go through several chemical peel procedures before you see a noticeable difference in the appearance of your skin. Be aware the new skin that is exposed after a chemical peel will be particularly sensitive and you will need to protect it by avoiding sun exposure and using a sunscreen with a high SPF for several weeks. Laser treatment is a great option for improving the appearance of deeper scars than those targeted by dermabrasion and chemical peels. Laser treatment...

Dermabrasion is a procedure that removes the very top layer of skin, similar to scraping your knee. The skin will then heal like a skinned knee will heal. This procedure requires local anesthetic for a small area of skin, or a more involved anesthetic for a larger area of skin. This surgical treatment involves removing the very top layer of skin in the affected area and covering it with very thin skin patches taken from the thigh or other part of the body. The skin patch will cover the scars and may eventually blend into the surrounding skin after about a year.  This process requires local or general anesthesia, depending on the size of the scars. Skin grafting is going to leave you with a scar that doesn’t look self-inflicted. Scar revision surgery is a procedure that changes what your scar looks like by cutting out scar tissue and resewing the skin. A surgeon can alter the position or size of a scar, making the scar look less like a self-inflicted wound. Laser resurfacing involves treating the skin over multiple sessions, heating the skin with laser light and inducing new collagen and elastin in the skin to form. You will receive local anesthesia and a sedative for this procedure You may experience side effects with this procedure, including redness and itchiness, along with swelling of the skin.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Prueba con un tratamiento de dermoabrasión. Consulta sobre el injerto de piel. Sométete a una corrección quirúrgica de cicatrices. Prueba con un rejuvenecimiento de piel con láser.


Description in a screenplay offers more info than does the simple scene heading.  It might offer details about the type of lighting, weather conditions, or other descriptions of the physical location of the scene and its characters.  Description is located two lines below the scene heading in a standard sentence format, with the first letter capitalized and a period at the end.  For instance, below a scene heading  like “INT. OFFICE - DAY” we might read descriptive info such as “The window is open and the lights are flickering on and off.” In the bottom right corner of the Paragraph section, click the little icon that opens the dialog box.  Set 1’’ indents before text and 1.5’’ after text under the Indentation section. In Word 2007, display the Developer tab.  Click the Office button at the top left, then go to Word Options (at the bottom), then under Popular, check “Show Developer tab in the Ribbon.” Type a name for the macro.  Since this macro is for description, assigning the name “Description” to this macro is a logical choice.  Ensure you’ve selected “All documents” at the bottom of the drop-down menu reading “Store macro in.” Click “Assign” or press Enter, then click “Close.” In Word 2007, click Record Macro on the left side of the ribbon.  Store the macro in the same place you stored the other macro you created, and name it “Description.” Click the keyboard icon and assign the macro to F3. Hit Enter twice on your keyboard to skip a couple lines, then go to the Layout tab (Page Layout tab in Word 2007) and move both indentations to 0.  Next, click on the Home tab.  In the bottom right corner of the Font section, select the little icon which opens the dialog box to open it.  Look under the Effects section, then deselect All Caps.  Click OK. In word 2007, after deselecting All Caps, return to the Developer tab and press Stop Recording before continuing with the rest of the above directions. Click Macros > Stop Recording.  F3 will now skip two lines down the page and be lowercase.  If you do not bind the...

Descriptions can be funny in themselves, and they can also set the scene for a funny action sequence. Your comedic descriptions may detail two things that shouldn't normally go together, or you might focus on describing the absurdity of the way a person, place, or thing appears.  Find a new and interesting way to say something familiar. This can be very funny, and it also keeps your readers on their toes.  Try using funny adjectives in your descriptions. Again, the focus should be on saying something in a way that surprises or delights the reader. Many comedians find that words with a hard "k" sound (like "car" or "quintuplet") simply sound funnier. The same is true for words with a hard "g" sound (like "guacamole" or "garrulous") A good comedic comparison should describe how two things are related, but it might do so in a funny or unexpected way. A comparison joke should still make the point you're trying to make, but it does so in a way that makes the reader laugh.  Use similes and metaphors that evoke familiar images. For example, you might say something like, "Making it through this week will be about as easy as painting an elephant's toenails; I hope I make it out alive." A simile is a comparison that uses "like" or "as". An example of a simile would be, "Your love is like a flower." A metaphor is a comparison that describes something as though it were actually something else. An example of a metaphor would be, "My heart is a pounding drum." A humorous comparison might be something like, "He danced like a horse drunk on wine...but he was still a better dance partner than I was." Try out different comparisons until you find one that is effective and makes you laugh, then test it out on someone else to see if they find it funny. If you're writing about how everyone in your family or your workplace is dumb and ugly, your readers will probably think you're mean and unfairly critical. However, if you make yourself the butt of your jokes, your readers will understand that you're exaggerating or singling out...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trata de incorporar descripciones cómicas. Escribe comparaciones graciosas. Búrlate de ti mismo. Nunca digas a un lector que algo es gracioso. Recuerda la regla de tres. Practica usando el ritmo de la comedia. No te excedas con el humor. Edita tu historia.


Descriptive words will help your audience understand exactly what it is you are talking about and make it more interesting for them to continue reading or listening. However, you don't want to go overboard with these, as they may be redundant or lack impact.  Think about how others might visualize the words you are using. If your words do not create a clear picture in your audience's head, chances are your language is too vague. For example, if you just say, "The man went to his house," your audience will not know what to imagine. If you say, "The tired old man went to his dark, empty house," your reader will be better able to imagine the scene.   However, the sentence "She stuttered haltingly as she spoke" uses an adverb inappropriately. "Stuttered" already includes the idea of halting speech, so the adverb is redundant -- or "fluff," in creative writing lingo.  If you're not sure whether or not your language is descriptive enough, read it to some of your peers and ask them to judge you on how you've done. Ask them where you were lacking in detail or where your language was not clear. Instead of describing every single object you mention, focus on the ones that are most important to your message. Leave no room for confusion in your message by referencing names, titles, and places whenever possible. Make sure your audience understands exactly when something needs to be done by using specific terms like "on Monday" or "before 4:30 EST" instead of more vague terms like "next week" or "soon." For creative writing, use descriptive words and phrases based on all five senses: sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch. This can also be useful for other types of writing and speaking because it will allow your audience to experience the situation themselves and draw their own conclusions.  For example, the sentence "Deshawn was very happy" is not very detailed. It does not give the reader any idea of what Deshawn's happiness feels like. Instead, try something like "Deshawn felt his heart hammer in his chest as he rushed...

Design an evaluation form that your participants can fill out in the last few minutes of the workshop. Be sure that you leave them with enough time to comment and consider your questions carefully. Immediate feedback not only will help you improve your workshop but will also help reinforce the learning your participants have undertaken.Good questions to ask include:  What is the stated objective of this workshop? Did the workshop meet its stated objective? What activities helped your learning the most? The least? Was the workshop an appropriate length? What workshop materials (handouts, readings, quizzes, etc.) were the most useful? Which ones were the least useful? How have you learned or grown from this workshop? How do you think your colleagues have learned or grown? How would you change this workshop in the future? Any suggestions for improvements? Are there any topics that you would like to take a workshop on? Ask workshop attendees if you may contact them in the future for their input. Some people need time to reflect back on their workshop experiences. Following up with workshop participants several days or weeks later might reveal new insights. You can ask additional questions such as:  How well have you retained the information you learned in the workshop? Do you still find yourself thinking about the workshop? How has the workshop helped you at work? Were there ways it could have helped you more? What materials have you found useful since the workshop? What materials have you thrown away or forgotten about? If enough participants are interested in more advanced versions of your workshop, consider scheduling a Part 2. In the follow-up workshop, you can address more of their questions, dig more deeply into the topic, or engage in more advanced versions of the techniques taught in Part 1. Be sure that your follow-up workshop is not too repetitive and that it is suitable for more advanced attendees.

Despite being hygienic, you or your family may still develop a recreational water illness (RWI). These conditions develop when you are exposed to fungi, viruses, bacteria, or additional microbes in the water. The most common of these are E. coli, norovirus, and cryptosporidium.  The RWIs can also be caused by pool chemicals.  You are unlikely to get head lice, MRSA, and pinworms by swimming in a public pool. There are many different types of RWIs that you can catch from public swimming pools. These may affect your skin, ears, eyes, respiratory system, or gastrointestinal tract. Look for the common symptoms of the RWI illnesses, which are:  Diarrhea, which develops most often Ear infections Skin rashes Eye and lung irritation Upper respiratory infections Public pools are not the only area where you can contract RWIs. Despite the chemicals used in pools, the germs are still prevalent. This is true of any communal water source, so you need to be cautious of any public recreational area. In addition to the pools, other areas to be careful are:  Splash pads Water parks Hot tubs Spray parks  Rivers Lakes Water fountains Oceans

TL;DR in Spanish:

Identifica la amenaza de las enfermedades transmitidas por aguas recreativas (RWI, por sus siglas en inglés). Identifica los síntomas de las RWI. Ten cuidado con las diferentes áreas con agua.


Despite constant run-ins with people at work or home, you may be doubtful that you actually have an ego problem. There are many complex routes one can use to describe the ego. Perhaps the best descriptions is the approval-seeking part of yourself. In order to find out if your ego is running the show in a given situation, ask yourself two questions:  ”Do I feel superior to others?” ”Do I feel inferior to others?” If you answered “yes” to either of these your ego is likely running the show. It may make sense to you that feeling superior is a sign of a big ego. You probably didn’t know, however, that feeling lesser than those around you can be an ego problem, too. People with big egos tend to have a problem with others crossing into what they feel is their territory. Your best friend tries to give you some insight on how to perfect your golf skills. Your manager who sits behind a desk all day thinks he can tell you how to do your job better. If you feel a rise after situations similar to those described above, your ego is at play. You may get angry when people try to give you suggestions about things you think you already know. You may refuse help. When people offer up viable ideas that outshine your own, you dismiss them so that your ideas are not diminished. An inflated ego may not always be clearly apparent. Sometimes, having a big ego is demonstrated by how quickly you get offended by opposing views. A person with a big ego tends to think he has it all in the bag. When someone disagrees with your viewpoint or criticizes it, you feel as if your very competence is being questioned. You may have trouble noticing the signs of being easily offended. Observe your interactions for a few days. Are people around you steadily apologizing for ticking you off? Do you always have to calm yourself down after someone angers you? You may be dealing with an ego problem.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cuestiónate a ti mismo. Observa cuando te involucres en disputas por territorio. Evalúa si te ofendes con facilidad.


Despite efforts to avoid a DVT, if your leg (especially your calf) becomes swollen, red and tender to touch and it doesn't resolve itself within a few days, then make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will examine your leg and foot and ask questions about your family history, diet and recent travel routine. If female, your doctor might also ask if you're pregnant, recently gave birth, taking birth control pills or undergoing hormone replacement therapy because higher levels of estrogen can easily precipitate blood clotting.  The birth control pill is riskiest during the first year of use, although modern formulas tend to be much safer than their predecessors several decades ago. Your doctor may prescribe a blood thinner (anticoagulant) such as heparin if he/she suspects a DVT. Blood thinners decrease your blood's ability to clot, although they don't break up existing blood clots  Your family doctor is not a circulatory specialist, so you may need a referral to another doctor with more specialized training. A circulatory specialist or vascular surgeon is trained to distinguish between all the potential vascular issues that can occur in the leg and elsewhere. There are a number of serious conditions that cause leg swelling and pain including diabetic neuropathy, venous insufficiency (leaky vein valves of the lower leg), chronic compartment syndrome (swelling of the lower leg muscles), popliteal artery entrapment, bacterial infections and cellulitis.  Your specialist may use a diagnostic ultrasound to try to see clots in the upper leg, or a venography (x-ray with injected dye) to test for clots in the lower leg. Ultrasounds are compared over time to see if a clot has grown or reduced. The specialist may also conduct a D-dimer blood test to detect if a clot exists. D-dimer is a chemical that is produced when a clot gradually dissolves. If a DVT is detected, then your doctor may decide to give you stronger, more powerful drugs to stop the clot's progression and then to ultimately dissolve it. After...
