Training your dog with a collar on can help you to keep him focused and under control.  Before you start teaching your dog how to lay down, make sure the collar is properly and comfortably in place.  Here are some tips that can help you put the collar on safely and securely:  The collar should be placed around the dog's neck, settling around where his neck meets his chest. Tighten the collar to a point where you can slip two fingers under the collar. Don't make the collar too tight or too loose. The first step in teaching your dog the lie down command is to stand by your dog in a certain way.  You will need to have your dig sit down and then stand next to him on his right side.  Your hand should be able to reach the dog's collar from here.  This position will allow you the best control over your dog while teaching him to lie down.  Have a treat ready to offer your dog.  The treat will be the focus your dog uses to lie down. Place the treat in your right hand and put your left hand on the dog's collar. Once you are in position, you can start teaching your dog the verbal “down” command.  Standing next to your dog, show him the treat in your right hand.  Once he is aware of this, lower the treat down to the ground.  Say the command “down” to your dog so that he associates the word with the motion and the treat. If your dog is having trouble, you can try gently pushing him down with your left hand to start the motion. Rewarding your dog for properly performing the lie down trick is key.  As soon as your dog responds and lies down, give him the treat he was following.  Your dog will come to associate this movement with rewards and in time will respond to the verbal “down” command alone. You can also use a clicker.  Click whenever you offer a treat, causing your dog to associate the sound with the trick. Practice makes perfect.  Keep working with your dog to make the lie down command an easy and natural thing for him.  The more you practice the command, the easier it will be for your dog to understand what you want...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ponle un collar al perro. Ponte en posición. Usa la orden “echado”. Premia al perro. Repite.


Traits are the parts of you that don’t usually change much over time. They are characteristics about you that may be positive, while others might be a bit more negative. Your personality is the sum of all these traits and characteristics and is what makes you a unique person. Listing your traits can help you define your personality.  For example, you might write that you are sensitive, caring, stubborn, determined, ambitious, hard-working, and dependable. Use words that describe how you think, behave, and feel in general.  For instance, you could include: calm, a night owl, sociable, a good planner, or helpful on your list. Look at lists of personality traits online that others have used to define themselves. See which ones are applicable to you, then add words of your own. Include words that family and friends frequently use to describe you. For example, if they are always telling you that you’re comical, put it on the list. You may even ask family and friends to help you find descriptive words for yourself. Some studies suggest that your personality influences how you approach situations and your outlook on life. Other research suggests that personality traits influence behavior. So, look at your attitude and actions to understand how to define your personality.  Consider your attitude towards change. Write about a major change in your life. For example, you may write that you felt nervous and worried when you moved. Think about how you handle challenges and obstacles. Then consider how likely you are to take risks, and how you respond to failure or set-backs. Write down the personality traits that come to mind. For example, think about how you react when someone is rude to you. You might write, “I calmly tell them to stop and try to figure out what’s wrong.” Think about the things you do. Would you describe them as individual activities or social? For example, gardening, reading, and painting are individual activities. Social activities are things like team sports and participating in clubs and...

Trampolining is a fun form of exercise that does not feel like exercise.  You could tell your parents: "Did you know that you can burn 160 calories in half an hour of jumping on a mini trampoline?"  15 minutes of bouncing at the end of the day can be great for your health.  Trampolining can help improve balance and posture. It trains one to balance in the air and requires delicate coordination.  Rebounding helps develop motor skills such as hand and eye coordination.  You will become more flexible. Jumping helps to strengthen and lengthen muscles. If you show your commitment to learning the sport, they will be more likely to buy you the equipment. By training in the sport, you will know how to use the backyard trampoline appropriately.  You could tell your parents: “I really want to learn the sport of trampolining. There are classes where you can learn all kinds of rebounding skills. Can I enroll in trampolining classes?” Find classes in your neighborhood. Many cities have trampolining gyms with classes on learning to jump. Since trampolining is also a gymnastic sport in the Olympics, you can also see if your local gymnastics academy has trampoline and tumbling classes.  Look into trampoline and tumbling classes at your local gymnastics academy. There are four Olympic events in trampolining and tumbling, including individual and synchronized trampoline, power tumbling, and double mini trampoline. See if your local academy has classes in any of these disciplines. Tell them that trampolining will help you with a variety of physical skills that you can use in other sports and in life. For instance, you will develop your balance and further soft skills like persistence. Learning to balance in the air can help with other sports like ski jumping and swimming dives. The skills needed to balance on a trampoline take a lot of persistence. You can learn both balance and persistence by jumping on a trampoline.  Trampolining can also improve self-esteem. Learning new skills on the trampoline can help you gain...

Transcription is all about typing. If you want to improve your transcription speed, you must be an excellent typist. The first step in learning how to type faster is by utilizing all ten of your fingers. Even if you are a pretty good typist, you may neglect your pinky fingers, or favor one hand over the other. Re-familiarize yourself with “home row” finger placement, positioning your pointer fingers on the “F” and “J” keys. Then, review which keys should be governed by which fingers. You can improve this skill by practicing with typing apps. Check out TypeRacer, Typing Maniac, or Keybr.com. “Touch typing” is typing without looking at your fingers. Once you have become familiar with home row and which keys are assigned to which fingers, you can begin practicing your touch typing. You can discipline yourself not to look down, or you may slide a blank sheet of paper into the slot above your keys and let it drape over your hands. Touch typing takes practice, but you will improve exponentially in time. Once again, practicing with typing apps is a great way to improve at touch typing and gain speed. Keyboard shortcuts can save you a great deal of time and keystrokes. Memorize the basic shortcuts and get comfortable using them regularly.  For the following shortcuts, use Ctrl for a PC and Command for a Mac. Ctrl/Command + C = copy Ctrl/Command + X = cut Ctrl/Command + V = paste Ctrl/Command + Z = undo Ctrl/Command + S = save Ctrl/Command + F = search for word Ctrl/Command + A = highlight everything

Transdermal testosterone gels are common treatments. The gels are applied on the body and absorbed through the skin. After a shower, you can apply the gel to the shoulders, upper arms, chest, or belly. One type of testosterone gel is applied inside the nose.  Testosterone gel can be expensive. Wash your hands after handling the gel. Make sure the skin is dry before you have contact with women, especially pregnant women, or children. You can transfer the testosterone gel if it hasn’t dried yet. Transdermal testosterone patches are another topical treatment. The patches are applied to your back, thighs, stomach, or upper arms. The spot where the patch is placed should not be oily, hairy, or prone to sweating a lot. You should place the patch in a new spot each night, and wait a week before applying it in the same spot again.  You should also not place the patch where you are going to put pressure on it from something like sitting or lying down, or place it on a bone. The patch is applied each day at the same time, usually between the hours of 8 p.m. and midnight. Patches should not be applied to the scrotum, or skin that is irritated or has open wounds. When removing the patch, make sure no one else comes into contact with the testosterone. Throw away the patch immediately. The cost of the transdermal patch can be high. Buccal testosterone is taken orally through a lozenge-like patch. The patch is placed against your gum. The patch will dissolve in your mouth. You won’t chew or swallow it. It is normally taken twice a day, in the morning and night. This approach is an efficient way to treat low testosterone in men.  Wash your hands before and after handling the patch. Your doctor will determine the dosage that is right for you. Generally, the patches are around 30 mg. The patches may have a bitter taste and can cause mouth irritation. Intramuscular testosterone (IM) injections are available. The injections can be administered every two, three, or four weeks. The testosterone is usually injected into the thigh...

Transfer the barley to 1 or more clean baking sheets. Use your hand to spread out the grains. The grains can be touching, but make sure they're not piled on top of each other. For large batches of barley, you'll need to use multiple baking sheets. Open up a large plastic garbage bag and lay it down flat. Insert a baking sheet filled with barley inside the bag, and fold the opening of the bag under the baking sheet. The plastic will keep the barley moist as it germinates. Repeat with the other baking sheets. The ideal temperature for germination is 64 °F (18 °C). Good places for germination include well-ventilated root cellars, garages, and basements. Barley that gets too hot or wet will be susceptible to mold growth. Barley that’s too cold or dry won’t germinate properly. The barley will produce heat as it germinates, so you must keep it cool and moist. Remove the baking sheets from the bags and mist the barley with cool water. Turn each grain over by hand as you mist. Return the baking sheet to the garbage bag and refold the opening of the bag under the baking sheet.  Repeat the misting and flipping 3 to 6 times a day.  If the barley is being germinated somewhere warm or dry, you may have to mist 6 times a day to keep it cool. However, if the barley is somewhere cool or damp, you may only have to mist 3 times a day. Each time you mist and flip the barley, take a few grains and inspect the acrospires for growth. Flip the grain to the smooth side and use a knife to cut open the husk lengthwise. Look for the sprout at the bottom growing upward (away from the roots). The germination process is complete when the acrospires are about as long as the barley grain itself.  The full germination period typically takes 2 to 5 days.  The acrospire is the first sprout that appears during the germination process. Don’t confuse the acrospire with the roots, which are visible and growing out of the bottom of the barley grain. Return the grains you tested to the baking sheet with the other barley.

Transfer the beans to a colander and rinse them under running water. To remove dirt and other particles, you can rub the beans with your fingers while the water is running. Turn off the water and give the colander a shake to remove excess water. Transfer the beans to a clean tea towel and pat them dry. For smaller quantities of beans, you can remove the stems by hand. Firmly pinch the top of the bean just below the stem with your thumb and forefinger to remove the stem. You can leave the curly tail at the other end intact. Use a knife to stem larger quantities of beans. Divide the beans in to manageable batches. Arrange each batch on a cutting board with all the stems lined up. Hold the beans in place and use a large chef’s knife to carefully trim off all the stems at once. Green beans can be cooked in a variety of ways, including stir fried, sautéed, steamed, and more. When you're cooking green beans like this as a side dish or snack, you can leave the stemmed beans whole to help preserve more of their sweetness and crispness. When you're adding beans to other dishes, such as soups, salads, casseroles, it’s best to chop the beans into bite-sized pieces first. Line up a batch of beans on a cutting board and chop the beans into pieces that are 1 inch (2.5 cm) long.

Transfer the cooked squid rings and tentacles to your prepared jar. The jar should be anywhere from halfway to three-quarters full. Do not pack the jar to the very top, however, since there will not be enough room for the spices and liquid if you do so.    Place the remaining three bay leaves, black peppercorns, garlic, and oregano or rosemary in the jar. Pour the white vinegar on top.  While not strictly essential, you may want to toss the spices and squid gently inside the jar to spread the seasonings more evenly.     Pour enough vinegar over the contents of the jar to cover the squid completely. Make sure that there is at least 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.75 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the jar when finished, however.     White vinegar is used in this recipe, but you can experiment some with the pickling liquid. For instance, try white wine or white wine vinegar. The liquid you use must be acidic, though, so keep that in mind before you choose to experiment with another option.    Slowly pour the oil on top of the contents in the jar. You should have a layer of oil that is roughly 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.  The oil should float on top of the vinegar. It serves as another barrier against air and other contaminants.     Do not fill the jar to its brim. Always leave at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the jar, just in case the contents expand during refrigeration.     After adding the oil, place the lid on the jar. Make sure that the seal on the lid is secure and airtight.    Place the sealed jar in your refrigerator and keep it there for a minimum of one day. For best results, allow the jar to sit in the refrigerator for a full week.  During this time, the pickling spices will marinate and flavor the calamari. The vinegar and remaining salt will be able to pickle the squid during this time, as well.     The longer you let the calamari rest, the stronger the flavor will be.    To serve the pickled calamari, remove it from the marinade and serve it immediately. Pickled...

Transfer the hot meatballs to a saucepan and simmer them with tangy marinara or vodka sauce for 5 minutes. Or, enjoy them Swedish-style in a creamy sauce seasoned with black pepper, nutmeg and allspice. There’s really no wrong way to savor these marvelous meat-free morsels.  Finish Italian meatballs with red pepper flakes or balsamic vinegar to coax more flavor out of the mild zucchini. Be careful not to stew or simmer zucchini meatballs for too long, as this can cause them to become soggy. Zucchini meatballs can easily become a complete meal with the addition of spaghetti, linguine or penne cooked perfectly al dente. Top with fresh oregano and extra grated Parmesan and serve with crusty Italian bread.  Go with whole wheat pasta to cut down on calories. While you’re at it, try making zoodles using a mandoline or spiralizer for an all-zucchini meal! Vegetarian meatballs can make a perfect finger food for your next holiday party or get together. Simply bake or fry them, arrange them on a serving platter and stick a toothpick in each one. Their small sizes makes them easy to eat, and their rich, delicious flavor makes them hard to resist. Experiment with different dipping sauces, as well, such as a spicy currant jelly, smoky garlic ketchup or lemon-dill remoulade.

Transfer the seed package to the refrigerator and leave the seeds there for two months. This is called stratification, and it will help bring the seeds out of dormancy, and encourage germination. Stratification replicates the dormancy period that happens over winter, so the seeds will come to life again and germinate when they're removed from the refrigerator. Eucalyptus seeds should be sown in pots indoors several weeks before the last expected frost. In the Northern Hemisphere, aim to plant in mid-February. In the Southern Hemisphere, aim to plant in mid-July. To find your last expected frost date, check local government or meteorological websites. Use a porous potting soil that has lots of pearlite for good drainage. It’s also important to use peat pots that can be transplanted with the seedlings, because eucalyptus doesn’t respond well to transplanting. Growing eucalyptus from seed is the best way to propagate new plants, because propagating by cuttings is difficult and the success rate is much lower. Sprinkle a few seeds on top of the potting soil in each peat pot. Cover each pot with a light dusting of horticultural sand. This will hold the seeds in position, keep them warm, and keep them moist as they germinate. Don’t use sand from a beach or the backyard, as it could be contaminated with pathogens that will kill the seeds. As soon as you’ve covered the seeds with sand, mist them with water to help them settle into the soil. As the seeds germinate, mist the soil every one to two days to keep the growing medium evenly moist. Move the pots to a warm place, such as a heated greenhouse or the top of the refrigerator. You can also keep the pots on a heating pad to keep them warm as they germinate. Because you planted multiple seeds in each pot, you may have more than one seedling sprout up. Inspect each pot and look for the largest, thickest, and healthiest seedling. Use sterilized scissors to trim all the weaker seedlings down to soil level. To sterilize the scissors, wipe them down with isopropyl alcohol.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Enfría las semillas. Planta las semillas al final del invierno. Llena macetas de turba con tierra para macetas. Planta las semillas. Humedece las semillas con agua pulverizada regularmente. Mantén las semillas a una temperatura templada. Corta los vástagos más débiles.


Transfer the soap nuts to a large saucepan. Pour the water over the nuts and put a lid on the saucepan. Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil.  Soap nuts, which are also called soap berries, are the fruit from the Sapindus shrub, a plant in the lychee family that’s native to parts of India and Nepal. Soapnut shells naturally contain saponin, which is a surfactant, making these berries an ideal biodegradable alternative to commercial laundry detergent. Soap nuts can be purchased in health food stores, alternative grocers, and online. When the water comes to a boil, turn the heat to medium-low and continue simmering for half an hour. This will give the soap nuts time to release their saponins into the water. Watch the mixture carefully as it boils, as soap nut water is prone to boiling over in a sudsy mess. When the mixture has boiled for 30 minutes, remove the lid and keep simmering for another half hour. As the soap nuts boil, mash the shells gently with the back of a fork a few times to help them release more saponins. As the mixture boils with the lid off, the water will reduce and create a more concentrated detergent. Once the water has simmered and reduced, remove the pot from the heat. Position a strainer over a medium bowl and pour the liquid into the strainer to remove the soap nuts. Set the liquid aside to cool to room temperature, about an hour. Leave the soap nuts in the strainer to cool as well. This quantity of water and soap nuts will yield about 3¾ cups (881 ml) of detergent. As soon as the liquid is cool enough to handle, insert a funnel into a clean glass or plastic bottle. Pour the liquid into the bottle through the funnel. Remove the funnel and screw the lid onto the container. It’s best to use a container with an airtight lid, as this will help preserve the detergent longer. When the soap nuts have cooled to room temperature, transfer them to a freezer bag and store them in the freezer until it’s time to make more detergent. Soap nuts can be reused in this way about three...

Transferring your chrysanthemums from a pot into the ground can be a delicate process, so make sure the soil is nice and toiled and there’s no danger of cold weather that might damage the plant. Use a shovel to create a hole for the plant that’s the same depth as the pot but twice as wide. This will ensure the chrysanthemums have plenty of room for their roots. Place the chrysanthemum carefully into the hole. If you’re planting several different sections of mums, place them 18–24 inches (46–61 cm) apart so that the roots have space to grow and spread without overcrowding each other. There will be space around the roots after you’ve placed them, so pour soil into these spaces so that the roots are nicely surrounded. Use your hands to pack down the soil a bit so that it’s even with the rest of the ground. Spread a fresh top layer of soil over the roots as well, not just on the sides. Test the soil with your finger to see if it’s dry, and if it is, give the plants a nice watering. They don’t like wet roots so allow them time to dry out between watering. This isn’t required, but it will help keep the chrysanthemums healthy and growing quickly. You can find a liquid fertilizer at your local gardening or home improvement store. Follow the instructions that come with the liquid fertilizer to know how much and how often to feed the plants.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Plántalos cuando ya no haya peligro de heladas. Escarba un agujero que sea del doble del tamaño de las raíces de la planta.

Riega los crisantemos como mínimo una vez a la semana. Dales fertilizante líquido cada 4 a 6 semanas, si lo deseas.


Transitioning medically is unfortunately often expensive. Actual costs will vary depending on where you live and who your doctor is, but it will likely cost several thousand dollars. However, there is some good news! More and more insurance plans are covering all or parts of the cost of transitioning.  First, talk to your doctor and get an explanation of expected treatments and costs. Next, examine your insurance plan. If you can't tell from reading your policy what is covered, call and speak to a representative. Both employer-based plans and Medicare and state marketplace plans are starting to cover more of the costs of transitioning. If your doctor doesn’t have experience helping people transition, seek out a doctor with expertise. They’ll be better able to guide you through the process and answer your questions. Schedule an appointment and talk to your doctor about what steps you want to take to transition medically. Hormone therapy will likely be the first step. Talk to your doctor about risks associated with hormone therapy. As a result of hormone therapy, your overall health profile will be that of a male. That may mean you are at greater risk for conditions like heart disease and high blood pressure. Testosterone can be taken in 3 ways: orally (pill), through a skin patch or gel, or with an injection. The right method for you will depend on your individual health needs. Talk through each of these options with your doctor. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. They're there to help you!  Oral testosterone is the least effective, so it's not as commonly used. If you use transdermal therapy, you will be using a skin patch or gel each day. If your doctor recommends injections, you'll typically get a shot either once a week or every 2 weeks. Doses vary greatly. It might take some time for you and your doctor to figure out what's right for you. Shortly after you begin taking testosterone, your skin will start to look and feel different. Your pores will be larger and you might notice that your skin is...

Transitions are words that help to improve the flow of your writing. Transitions can help you clarify when readers are supposed to do things in your process. For example, you might advise your readers to set the timer right BEFORE you add the pasta to the boiling water. Or, you might advise your readers to put on oven mitts AND THEN pour the pasta into the colander in the sink. Some other good transition words to use in a process document include:  next after first last also When describing a process for a large audience, it is important to make sure that the words you use are simple enough for most people to understand. Using lots of jargon (technical language) can make it hard for readers to understand the instructions. Take a minute to read through your instructions and look for ways to simplify the language. If you need to use a special word to describe your process, make sure that you define it for your readers. For example, if describing how to make pasta, you would need to explain what “al dente” means. It is important to make sure that the process you have described can be carried out successfully by following your instructions. Try to complete the process you have described by following each step in the order you have placed them and by using only the information you have included.  As you test your process, try to identify any information that is missing or anything that might be unclear to your readers. Ask someone else to test your process as well. Having someone else test your process can ensure even more accuracy in your process document. Ask a friend or family member to use your steps to complete the process you have described. Depending on how you plan to use your process document, you may need to format it. For example, if your process document is meant to be formatted as an MLA style essay for a class assignment, then you will need to review your instructor's guidelines and make sure that your document meets them. If you are using your document for a website, then you will need to format...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Translucent setting powder is a clear powder that locks in foundation and soaks up any excess oil that your skin produces. Apply a thin layer of setting powder all over your face with a large fluffy makeup brush. Make sure to blend in the areas around your eyes and mouth to avoid any cakey buildup. Choose a loose powder instead of pressed powder for a lighter coverage.

TL;DR in Spanish:


Transom-mounted trolling motors have 1 or 2 clamps built into the mounting bracket to hold the motor in place. Turning the clamps counterclockwise (to the left) will open them. The trolling motor should be placed as close to the center of the stern as possible without interfering with the operation of the main motor, if there is one. The top of the mounting bracket should be flush with the top of the stern. Turn the clamps clockwise (to the right) as far as they will go, so that the motor won't vibrate loose while in operation. Transom-mounted trolling motors should be positioned so that the center of the motor section is at least 9 inches (22.5 cm) under water while the motor is running to keep the propeller from breaking the water's surface. This produces noise that can spook fish.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Abre las abrazaderas del soporte de montaje. Desliza el motor sobre el espejo. Ajusta las abrazaderas.


Transplanting plants allow you to place the poppies more accurately, rather than casting them across the garden and seeing which seeds mature. However, due to their single, fragile taproot, poppies are easily killed during transplanting, especially large, adult plants. If possible, transplant poppy plants when they are young seedlings less than 3 inches (7.5cm) tall, and leave adult plants in their current container. If you must transplant adult, perennial poppy plants, try to do so in late summer, after the most active growth period but before they begin to seed. Poppies require loose, well draining soil, and exposure to at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Improve the soil by mixing in compost or manure if necessary. More detail can be found in the section on planting seeds. Poppies are infamously fragile after transplanting, and they are more likely to die if they are exposed to more sunlight. Transplant in the early evening whenever possible to give them a full night of darkness to adjust to their new situation. It may take time for the poppies to adjust to the new location before the root begins to take in more water. Make sure they have at least some water stored already by watering them an hour or more before the transplant. If you were growing your seedling in a small container, make the hole larger than the container. Otherwise, you may need to guess at the size required, or pull out an extra seedling you do not intend to grow to examine its size. If you are transplanting from a container of several seedlings, carefully gather the soil around a central seedling, detaching other seedlings in the soil or moving them to the edge of the pot. This central seedling should not be handled directly, in order to minimize the damage. Try to keep the plant buried at the same depth it was before. Move it as gently as possible to avoid damaging the roots. Pack the soil loosely around the plant. Water it to hold the soil together, then care for it as you would any poppy plant.

TL;DR in Spanish:

En lo posible evita trasplantar las plantas adultas. Revisa la tierra para la nueva ubicación. Si te es posible, trasplántalas en la noche. Riega las plántulas una hora antes de trasplantarlas. Cava un hoyo en la nueva ubicación y hazlo más grande que el cepellón. Saca el trozo de tierra alrededor de la planta de amapola con cuidado. Planta la amapola a la misma profundidad en la tierra nueva.


Trauma is comma among people with DID, and dissociation is generally associated with severe emotional stress. This means intense emotions may trigger "switching." To help a person with DID avoid switching, help them stay calm in stressful situations. If you see an encounter is becoming emotionally charged, it is best not to make a big deal of it.    Drugs and alcohol may also trigger "switching," so discourage use. Avoid asking questions of other alters if the person does switch because this could be dangerous. If you are present when an alter presents the alter may or may not know you. In the event an alter does not know you, the person may be confused or frightened. Help put the person at ease by introducing yourself and explain how you know them. If the person with DID happens to be a spouse, you may want to avoid introducing yourself as a husband or wife with some altars. For example, a child alter may be respond as very confused and an alter of a different gender may become upset by the implications of sexual identification. Treatment for DID typically includes regular counseling and lifestyle changes. People who experience depression and/or anxiety may also be treated with prescription medication. Treatment must be followed to be effective, so support the persons efforts to comply.  Encourage the person to attend counseling by offering to go with them. Lifestyle changes usually involve eating a healthy diet, regular exercise, and abstaining from drugs and alcohol. You can encourage adherence to these lifestyle changes by adopting them yourself, at least while you are with the person being treated. Suggest the person set an alarm to remind them to take medication as directed. If the person indicates they are non-compliant or is thinking about becoming noncompliant, urge them to speak to them doctor about treatment options.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ayuda a la persona con TID a evitar los desencadenantes. Preséntate. Alienta a la persona a que continúe con su terapia.


Traumatic injuries cause two types of blood loss, heavy bleeding from severed arteries or veins and slow seepage from scrapes and wounds. The wound pumping blood should be given priority over the slowly seeping injury. If a wound is dripping blood, you need to try to stem the blood flow. First, apply pressure using a pad of cotton material applied directly over the area. Press down with sufficient pressure to prevent blood seeping through the cotton. If after 5 minutes you remove the pad and the blood starts pumping out again, repeat the pressure for another 5 minutes. Sometimes reapplying pressure is all it takes. If reapplying pressure  doesn't work, you need to make a pressure bandage. A pressure bandage is another way of applying pressure and can be enough to stop the bleeding while you transport the animal. For a pressure bandage, make a cotton pad and hold it over the wound. Next, take a bandage or a cotton garment cut into strips and wind it around the area and the pad to hold it firmly in place.  Apply firm tension onto the bandage as you wind it round so that finished dressing feels firm when you squeeze it. You should not be able to worm a finger between the bandage and the skin. These bandages can run the risk of impairing circulation to a limb if left in place for hours, but are acceptable if the animal may suffer potentially fatal blood loss otherwise. You should go directly to professional help after applying this type of bandage. If there is blood spurting out, the animal may have an arterial bleed. This is very serious and you may need to make a tourniquet. To apply a tourniquet, take a shoelace or tie and tie it around the limb so it lies between the bleed and the heart. Tighten the tourniquet until the bleeding stops. Be aware this has also cut off the blood supply to the rest of the limb so make haste to professional assistance.  Only do this if it is essential and you suspect the animal may otherwise die from blood loss. Tourniquet use is controversial because there is a risk of the...

Detén el flujo de una hemorragia abundante. Coloca un vendaje de presión. Elabora un torniquete. Trata un sangrado lento. No limpies las heridas. Dale soporte a los huesos rotos.


Travel to the location of your choosing may be expensive. Determine the costs of taking a plane, train, coach bus, rental car, or cruise ship to your selected location. Air travel is the quickest option but may be costlier than train, bus, or car rental if the distance isn’t too great. You should also keep in mind the environmental impacts of each method of transportation. A cruise ship affords the greatest luxury and will often include a number of stops but is also the costliest option. You can compare plane ticket costs with Google Flights, SkyScanner.com, Expedia, FareCompare.com, or Kayak. Always research price comparisons before making your purchase. Once you reach your destination, you’ll need further transportation to get around locally. Many people take taxi cabs, ride-sharing cars, local transit buses, or the subway to get around locally. If you have some extra money, you can travel more easily by renting a car at your location.  Use your preferred search engine to research public transit at your destination. Not all cities will have all of the options mentioned above. You can compare rental car prices SkyScanner.com, Expedia, or Kayak as well. Always research price comparisons before making your reservation. If you are renting a car, you should also consider what rental agencies are close to your airport or hotel. One of the more significant items you’ll need to budget for is your lodging cost. Lodgings vary greatly in cost and quality so be sure to consider your exact needs and what’s available at your destination. If your destination hosts many tourists, there will likely be a wide variety of hotels, motels, resorts, and bed-and-breakfasts.  Pick a hotel that is located near the attractions you’re seeking. This will prove convenient and save you in local travel costs. Consider amenities like televisions in the rooms, internet access, and access to a swimming pool. You should also consider the quality and size of available beds and bathrooms, the availability of air conditioning, and whether or not...

Traveling by bus is, by far, the cheapest option. You can travel by bus within cities, as well as to other cities. It is typically 2 euros or less to travel within a city by bus. Euroline is the main bus service in Europe and its network extends throughout the continent. The drawback is that it takes longer to travel from city to city by bus. Traveling by train is an affordable option if you plan to visit many cities. To get the best deals, purchase a Eurail pass ahead of time. For unlimited travel to any country within the Eurail system for 15 days to 3 months, get a Global Pass. Get a Flexi pass for 10 to 15 days of travel to any country within the system for a 2-month period. If your travel time to cities is less than six to eight hours, then this is the best option. Try flying to your locations if you are traveling for only a short period of time like two weeks. Budget airlines in Europe make this option very affordable. The cost of a flight can be as low as 5 euros. However, make sure to look at the fees and stipulations before booking. The flight may seem cheap, but fees can raise the price substantially.  This is a good option if your travel time by train is eight or more hours. Some discount airlines are Ryanair, Wizz, Easyjet, and Transavia. A car is a good option if you want to visit small towns in the countryside, but it is the most expensive option. You have to pay for gas, tolls, and parking. Additionally, many companies charge a drop-off fee of 100 to 300 euros if you drop the car off in a different destination.

Traveling is a main cause of the carbon emissions responsible for climate change. If you can, walk or ride a bicycle to your destination. Some meetings or appointments can be handled through video conferencing so you don’t need to leave home.  If you have to travel by car, utilize public transportation or carpool with others. When traveling long distances, choose more efficient, higher-capacity trains and airplanes. Trees are important part of reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere, which affects panda habitats. Trees are often cut down illegally near panda habitats, causing further damage. Saving energy has a big role in protecting the environment and allowing pandas to live in their natural environment.  If you save wood, less trees need to be cut down and manufactured into products, which helps preserve environments and reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Avoid wasting wood products. For example, use both sides of a sheet of paper. Look for wood and paper products that is labeled as “eco-friendly” or “FSC.” Also turn off the water and electrical devices when they are not in use to avoid wasting energy. Contact your local government or waste disposal service to enroll in a recycling program. Wood, plastic, and aluminum cans are a few products that are often recycled. Recycling minimizes resource usage and carbon emissions. Also save natural resources such as water. For example, collect unused water and use it to water your plants. Whether you’re home or on vacation, respect nature. Some activities use lots of resources or release lots of carbon emissions. Stay away from these activities as much as possible.  For example, golf courses use a lot of water every day. If you golf, choose courses that recycle water. Autosports release lots of carbon into the atmosphere and should be avoided. Be responsible when outdoors, such as by picking up trash and not wasting food, water, and other resources. Be aware of what your souvenirs are made of. Even buying non-panda material such as leather and ivory...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Viaja con menos frecuencia en vehículos. Conserva la madera y otros recursos lo más que sea posible. Recicla madera, plástico y otros recursos. Opta por hacer actividades recreativas que sean seguras para el medio ambiente. Evita los recuerdos que estén hechos de productos de origen animal.


Traveling should be fun. When you are on a trip, you will want to do lots of activities that you are enjoy. Preferably, your companion will want to do the same things as you.  Think about your travel priorities. Make a list of all of your "must dos". For example, maybe you are planning a trip to France. If visiting The Louvre is a priority, make sure your travel partner wants to go, too. Remember that you don't have to do all of the activities together. But when you travel with someone, it is fun to do at least some things with each other. When you travel, there are many types of experiences that you could have. You could be very active or you might be looking for a more sedate trip. Find a travel partner who has an agenda and energy level similar to yours.  Think about what type of trip you want to have. Are you looking forward to walking a lot? Do you plan to be doing a lot of physical activities, such as scuba diving? If you anticipate being active, try to look for a friend who enjoys being active. Maybe your pal from the gym would be a good choice. Likewise, if you plan to chill, take that into account. If you want to spend your days relaxing on the beach, you don't want a travel partner who will be constantly nagging you to get moving. Before you travel, you should plan a budget. Figure out what items are most important to you. For example, do you want to splurge on luxury lodging and save by not doing many excursions? Get a good idea of what things will cost.  Before traveling with a friend, make sure that you are on the same page concerning money. You don't want to be planning an expensive getaway at the same time your friend is looking for budget travel. Try asking specific questions. You can say, "How much do you think we should spend on a hotel each night?" You can also plan a budget together. Say, "Let's sit down and work out how much we want to spend per day." If you are thinking about traveling with a companion, take some time to have an open discussion. You should discuss your goals for the...

Traveling the world may be the reason you want to work from anywhere, and it’s a good idea to plan your travels ahead of time. That way you can make sure you have everything you need. Since you’ll likely be traveling the world on a tourist visa, you may be forced to move around anyway. Make sure you know how long you can legally stay in each country you visit. Working remotely may not earn you as much money as your regular job did, depending on what you’re doing. However, the freedom to work from anywhere lets you choose a place that costs less. Choosing somewhere with a low cost of living can allow you to make the most of your money.  Compare the cost of housing, food, transportation and other essentials before you decide to travel and live in a particular country or city. Look online for areas with the lowest cost of living, then choose a place that fits your preferences. Most companies are going to pay you in the currency of the country where they’re located. That means you’ll likely be paid in your home currency. Before you move to a new location, find out which currencies they take. If you will need to exchange your funds, check the exchange rate so you can determine if it’s a good place to live.  Some bank accounts make it easier to move around the world and may save you money on exchange rates. If you’re taking local work, you may not need to worry about this, as you’ll likely be paid in the local currency. Working from anywhere in the world gives you the freedom to move around whenever you’d like. That means you can travel without paying high tourist costs, as you can visit places during the less-expensive off-season. Plan out your travels to take advantage of off-season prices, and you could save a lot of money. As an example, colder areas like Sweden or Norway are often cheaper in the winter, while warmer areas like the Caribbean or Dubai are often less expensive during the summer. Similarly, Central America is less costly during the rainy season, which lasts from July through September.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Planifica tus viajes si quieres ver el mundo. Vive en un lugar con un costo de vida bajo si planeas quedarte por un tiempo. Escoge un destino con un tipo de cambio bajo si planeas trabajar de manera remota. Reduce los costos al viajar a lugares en temporada baja.


Traveling with aging parents can be slow and difficult.  You might be frustrated by your parents’ inability to do what you do.  Try to put yourself in their shoes.  Recognize that their advanced age means they cannot do what you can.  When you feel yourself becoming frustrated, take in a deep breath through your nose, then blow it out through your mouth slowly over the course of five to eight seconds. When on vacation, it does neither you nor your parents any good to get frustrated or impatient.  Remember, your aging parents are not deliberately moving slowly, and are doing the best they can. Be patient! Vacations are meant to be relaxing and enjoyable.  And while it’s always a good idea to be polite, respectful, and kind to your parents, these qualities are even more important when you’re traveling and in close proximity with your parents over the course of several days or weeks.  Try to make inconveniences into something positive.  For instance, instead of bemoaning the fact that you have to move through each destination so slowly, enjoy your opportunity to really soak up the flavor of each place your travel to.  Be deferential and don’t dredge up unpleasant memories unnecessarily. Even if you and your parents don’t always see eye to eye, do your best to keep things civil while traveling together. Think before you speak.  Don’t say anything that you might regret, or that might sour the mood of your parents for the rest of the trip.  Before saying something potentially upsetting, ask yourself if it might be hurtful or unpleasant. Even when parents get older and need help, they often like to feel that they have some degree of independence.  Be respectful and don’t insist on helping them with every piece of luggage or every step up into the train or bus.  Don’t patronize.  Let them ask you for help before intervening. As your parents age, you should become more conscious that they won’t be around forever.  Take advantage of the time you have with them to make great memories and show them that you really love...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ten paciencia. Mantente positivo. Sé servicial sin ser dominante. Disfruta de tu tiempo con tus padres.


Trays and gels designed to whiten teeth can be purchased over the counter at most supermarkets or drug stores. Such methods are fairly effective, 80% of users reporting results.  Read the instructions on the gel and tray you purchase so you know exactly how the product should be used. Some trays should be worn for a few hours a day while others are worn every night.  Squeeze the recommended amount of peroxide gel onto the whitening tray. Insert the trays into your mouth. Place them into your mouth and gently close your mouth. The gel that is included with these rays is carbamide peroxide instead of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is the kind of gel used in a dental office and it is activated with a lamp. The carbamide peroxide does not require a lamp. If you feel extra gel running over your teeth, wipe it away. Remove the trays after the required amount of time has passed.  While this method is effective for most people, some users report teeth sensitivity and sore gums as a result. If you have these side effects, cease use and talk to your dentist about whether the product is safe for you. Whitening strips, which cost $20 to $30 per box, are a relatively cost effective way to whiten teeth and they can work even better if you have done a teeth whitening treatment in the past. Hydrogen peroxide is placed on a strip that's placed over the teeth and left on for a set amount of time to increase whiteness.  Read the instructions before using your whitening strips. The duration the strips are left on and how to apply varies from product to product. Some strips actually dissolve so they do not require removal but still it would be best to avoid swallowing your saliva during the procedure. Remember that any whitening substance has a certain amount of toxicity.  Be careful when applying the strips. The hydrogen peroxide can burn hands and gums. Do not leave the strips on longer than recommended, as this can cause gum sensitivity and a burning sensation in the mouth. Check your gums in the mirror to see if there...

Treated skin will be very sensitive to the sun afterwards, so it’s best to plan your peel for when you can easily avoid the sun for several hours. It’s unlikely that you’ll experience much pain after your peel, but your skin will still be very sensitive. You may also notice some redness or discoloration while your skin heals. Make sure you don’t have any important events coming up directly after your treatment. Glycolic acid is not ideal for everyone, including pregnant or nursing women, people with very dark skin, and anyone with a history of cold sores. Ask your doctor how long the treatment will take, what the recovery process will be like, and what the possible side effects are. Be sure to give your doctor a complete list of medications you’ve taken in the past 6 months. Some medications, like Amnesteem or Accutane, should not be taken within 6 months of using glycolic acid. If your dermatologist approves, you may want to start off by using a glycolic acid lotion, which will contain small amounts of glycolic acid, for a few weeks. This will make the results of your peel more even, and it will show whether your skin is sensitive to glycolic acid. Glycolic acid lotions and creams can be found in specialty makeup shops like Ulta Beauty, and may even be available at your local department store in the skin care section. Follow the product’s instruction label for proper use. Your dermatologist may recommend using products that contain retinoids or hydroquinone for a few weeks leading up to the peel, which will help protect your skin from temporary darkening after the treatment. You should apply these as directed by your dermatologist or pharmacist. Only use these products if your dermatologist recommends them. Improper use may cause complications when you get your glycolic acid peel. Avoid using any creams, scrubs, lotions, or exfoliators at least 3 days before you apply glycolic acid, including retinoid or hydroquinone creams if you’re using them. You should also avoid microdermabrasion, depilatory creams,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Programa una exfoliación profesional para la noche o últimas horas de la tarde. Planea tomarte al menos de 1 a 5 días para que tu piel se cure por completo. Consulta con tu dermatólogo para ver si el ácido glicólico es apropiado para ti. Usa una loción de ácido glicólico para ver cómo le afecta tu piel. Empieza a usar una crema de retinoides 2 a 4 semanas antes del tratamiento. Deja de usar cualquier producto cutáneo de 3 a 5 días antes del tratamiento.


Treating Bell's Palsy is easiest if given prompt attention. If you have unusual feelings in your face or an inability to control your facial muscles, let your doctor know as soon as possible. They can determine if the problem is Bell's Palsy or a different medical issue, and determine the best treatment plan for you. Signs that you may have Bell's Palsy include:  Trouble closing or blinking one or both eyes Difficulty controlling facial expressions Twitching Drooping eyelids Drooling Difficulty tasting Dry eye or mouth Excessive tearing of the eye This corticosteroid is an anti-inflammatory that your doctor may prescribe. Your doctor may prescribe you to take it for a week, then reduce the dosage for the following week.  As an anti-inflammatory, prednisone may help reduce the swelling of the facial nerve causing Bell's Palsy. It may also relieve some of the pain caused by muscle tension.  Before taking prednisone, talk with your doctor about possible drug interactions, especially if you are taking birth control, blood thinners, or have pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, HIV, or heart problems, or if you are pregnant or nursing. Acyclovir is an antiviral medication that is used to fight herpes simplex (which causes cold sores), but it may also help treat Bell's Palsy. It is not certain that acyclovir alone can have this effect, but it is often prescribed in combination with prednisone as a treatment for the disorder. The combination of acyclovir and prednisone as an effective treatment suggests that Bell's Palsy may be caused by herpes simplex. Bell's Palsy may cause pain in addition to the loss of muscle control and other symptoms. Taking OTC pain relievers such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen can help reduce your discomfort. To prevent harmful drug interactions, always talk to your doctor about taking any over-the-counter medications if you are currently on any prescription medications.

Visita a tu médico de inmediato. Toma prednisona. Toma antivirales. Usa analgésicos de venta libre (OTC, por sus siglas en inglés).


Treating your braid with the detangling product of your choice will help to separate, or loosen, the braid from your natural hair. Coat each braid from the root to the tip of your natural hair with a generous amount of detangler.  This product will also make it easier to detangle your hair once the braid is removed. Search for a product that contains marshmallow root. In addition to providing slip, marshmallow root also moisturizes hair. Use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the braid below the ends of your natural hair. Cutting out the extension will save you time—there will be much less hair for you to unbraid. This step is optional. Insert the tail of a comb into the braid approximately ¼ from the tip. Slowly pull the tail down through the braid to separate the ends. Continue this process up the length of the braid until you reach the roots. Apply additional detangler as needed. Once you have separated the ends, you may use your hands to unravel the braid. Once the braid is removed, coat the ends of your locks with detangler. Gently comb through the ends with a wide toothed comb, pick, or your fingers. Gradually work your way up the length of your hair to the roots. To prevent additional tangles, twist the lock of hair and secure to your head to a pin. This will keep the detangled hair out of your way. Continue to methodically separate and undo each braid. After undoing each braid, detangle the lock of hair.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Tree roots are powerful tools when soil is too eroded or steep to plant. Plant native trees on steep slopes and riverbanks to reduce soil loss.  Bare ground around the tress still needs to be covered in mulch or grass for best results. Keep in mind that older trees will be more effective at preventing landslides than new saplings. It may take some time before your tree develops roots that are strong enough. Deep, frequent tillage creates a layer of compact soil vulnerable to water erosion, topped by loose soil easily removed by wind. Consider a zero-tillage approach using a coulter or other deep planting device. These conservation tillage techniques also reduce the amount of vehicle traffic, and therefore soil compaction. Crops with weak roots or that need to be sparsely planted are more vulnerable to erosion. Plant these in strips, alternating with strips of an erosion-resistant crop such as dense grass or legumes.  Plant the crops so they contour the slope. Plant these crops perpendicular to the prevailing wind if possible. Grazing land cannot remain healthy and erosion-resistant if cattle are allowed to graze year-round. For best results, close off a paddock for the entire wet season to allow grasses to reestablish themselves.  This may not be effective if the other paddocks cannot support the spelled cattle. If possible, keep cattle away from riverbanks and heavily eroded soil at all times. Bare soil is far more vulnerable to erosion than soil with ground cover. Aim for at least 30% ground cover on all grazing land, ideally 40% or more. After you harvest your crops, leave the residue on the soil as mulch. Alternatively, plant hardy winter crops. Runoff is concentrated into a narrower area as it travels across lands. The points where the concentrated runoff reaches a slope are particularly vulnerable to erosion. You can build a paved flume, or lined channel, to lead the water to a safe drainage system. Build these at gully heads as well.  Another option is to build a swale to re-direct the runoff into a...

Triceps are a group of three muscles running from your outer elbow up to your shoulder along the back part your upper arm. They are used for elbow extension, which is when you uncurl your arm or bend outward at the elbow. You can see them by holding your arm straight and trying to overextend slightly at the elbow -- the triceps are the v-shaped muscles on your outer arm. Aptly nicknamed "skullcrushers," these isolate your triceps perfectly. Lay on a bench with a barbell in both hands. Lay the barbell over your forehead with your elbows pointing down and your hands shoulder-width apart. Bending only from your elbows, push the weight up until your elbows are almost fully extended. Slowly return the bar to your forehead for one full rep. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps. Your elbows may angle out a little bit, but you should try and keep them as parallel to your body as possible. Dips utilize the weight of your entire body, making them crucial tricep building exercises. Grab a hold of a set of parallel bars, lifting your body up with your arms extended. Slightly bend your knees back and cross your ankles. Slowly lower your body down until your elbows are bent 90°, then raise yourself back up. Do 3 sets of 8-10 reps.  Keep your torso roughly perpendicular to the ground. Do not let your elbows butterfly outward. This only works at a gym, with a rope that pull down from above your head with adjustable weight. Stand facing the rope, feet a few inches apart. Grab the ends of the rope with your arms bent 90°, then bend at the elbow to pull the rope down to your thighs. Slowly return the rope to starting position. Keep your shoulders down as you exercise -- only your elbows and lower arms will move down. To make it even harder, curve your wrists slowly out from the bottom so that your palms face outward. Sit with a dumbbell in each hand. Push them up to the sky so that your elbows are by your ears and your palms face each other. Slowly lower the dumbbells back behind your head by bending at the elbows. Your shoulders should...

Trichotillomania is officially classified as an impulse control disorder, along the lines of pyromania, kleptomania, and pathological gambling. If you suffer from trichotillomania, you may act or react in certain ways when hair-pulling. These might include:  Chewing or eating pulled-out hair. Rubbing pulled-out hair across your lips or face. An increasing sense of tension immediately before pulling out the hair or when resisting the behavior. Pleasure, gratification, or relief when pulling out the hair. Catching yourself pulling hair without even noticing (this is called “automatic” or unintentional hair-pulling). Knowing that you’re pulling hair deliberately (this is called “focused” hair-pulling).  Using tweezers or other tools to pull out hair. There are some tell-tale signs that a person may be suffering from trichotillomania. These include:  Noticeable hair loss caused by recurrent pulling out of the hair. Patchy bald areas on the scalp or other areas of the body. Sparse or missing eyelashes or eyebrows. Infected hair follicles. Some hair pullers may find that they nail bite, thumb suck, head bang, and compulsively scratch or pick at their skin. Keep track of these types of behaviors over several days to see if they are habitual. Notice when you’re doing them and how often you’re doing them. Determine if trichotillomania is the only disorder that's affecting you. Compulsive hair pullers may suffer from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Tourette's disorder, bipolar disorder, phobias, personality disorders, and in some cases, exhibit suicidal tendencies.  Visiting your doctor or mental health professional can be helpful in determining whether you have other disorders.  However, it is complicated to say which disorder is causing which. Is the loss of hair causing the depression through the desire to isolate yourself from others and avoiding enjoyable activities because you feel deep shame?   Often, successful recovery from Trichotillomania requires treatment for any co-existing disorders as well....

Trim away any bruises with a knife. Cut vegetables into smaller pieces, at least 1/2-inch (3.8 cm) thick, for easier drying.     Place 1 quart (0.94 liters) of vegetables into a 36-inch (91 cm) cheesecloth.     Blanch the cheesecloth bag of vegetables on the stove in a half-filled pot of boiling water. You may also add 1/4 teaspoon (1.2 ml)of citric acid to the water. Allow up to 6 minutes for blanching, then immediately place the bag in cold water for the same amount of time.    Cut the fruit into 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) pieces or in halves to ensure even drying. Fill a large pot with at least 1 quart (0.94 liters) of water.     Add up to 1.5 teaspoons(7.3 ml) of food-grade quality sodium sulfate or sodium bisulfate to the water. Soak for approximately 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how you sliced the fruit. Rinse the fruit pieces with cold water before placing them on a rack to dry.    Collect the herbs right after the morning dew to minimize the risk of wilting. Rinse the herbs in cool water and shake off any excess. Slice lean cuts of beef or salmon into 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick (1.27 cm) slices. Cut off all fat because it spoils the meat during the drying process. Freeze any meat or fish you plan to dry for around 30 days. The freezing temperature should be at 0 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 17 degrees Celsius) or lower. Thaw the meat and fish in the refrigerator. Add salt, seasonings and any marinades of your choice before the drying process. Remember to wash your hands again after handling vegetables, fruit, herbs and meat.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trim off one end of the watermelon using a sharp chef's knife, then cut 1-inch thick sections off the melon, across the middle. Cut these in half to make two half-moon shaped slices, or cut again into triangles. Hold by the rind and enjoy.  You can also cut down the middle of the watermelon long-ways, then cut extra-long sections of watermelon to dive into. They might be messy, so it's best to eat them outside. Some people also like to start in the center, cutting the melon in half to get right to the juiciest parts of the melon. This can be effective, especially if you've got a really big watermelon. There's no wrong way. What do you do with the melon in the end-piece? Scoop it out with a spoon. Another great and easy way to serve watermelon is to cut it up into bite-sized chunks and store them in a bowl. Cut big slices as normal, then use a smaller paring knife to remove the whitish-green rind from the melon. Cut into chunks that suit your taste.  Cut into cubes, triangles, or other shapes. Use butter knives with your kids to let them chop up watermelon into animal shapes, or letters. Or use cookie cutters for real fun. Some people like peeling the rind off before chunking up a watermelon. This can be done with a sharp chef's knife and some care, stabilizing the melon on a flat cut side, or it can be done with a vegetable peeler. One innovating way of cutting up watermelon involves chopping it as you might an onion or a potato. This is an excellent way of serving watermelon as finger-food at a slightly fancier affair, because it'll cause less mess.  Use a small rounded melon, or cut off an end-section of the melon no larger than about a half-basketball size. Place the melon cut-side down on the cutting board. Make cross-hatch cuts in the melon, spaced about 1-inch apart. Cut straight across the melon at 1-inch intervals going on direction, then make perpendicular cuts in the other directions. Serve as is. Have guests pull out the long-skinny sections to munch on and provide a bowl for the rinds.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Córtala en rodajas grandes. Corta la sandía en trozos. Trata de cortarla en tajadas delgadas.


Trim the ends. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise only if it is over eight inches (20 cm). Scoop out the mature seeds from the center. If you are shredding a very large zucchini, cut it into fourths. Scoop seeds out of each section. Turn it so that it is on its side with the largest grating holes facing up. Run it lengthwise along the top of the grater to achieve long, spaghetti-like shreds. You can turn the zucchini horizontally to make smaller shreds. Be very careful as you get closer to your hand. Reposition it frequently to avoid cutting yourself. Freeze or use the shredded zucchini.

Trim the padding with a carpet cutter if you haven’t already done so with a utility knife. Then, lay down the carpet over the padding. Set the power stretcher down over the part of the carpet you are working with and want to be stretched. If you are installing new carpet instead of just stretching existing carpet, measure it out and cut it ahead of time to make it easier to lay down. Place the base of the stretcher against the wall the carpet is anchored to. Lengthen the adjustment rod of the power stretcher until its head is about 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the carpet's un-anchored edge. Press down on the lever of the power stretcher to smooth out the carpet wrinkles.  If the lever requires too much pressure to push down, you're stretching the carpet too tight. Likewise, if it takes almost no effort to push the lever down, you aren't stretching it tight enough. If you are trying to stretch carpet in a part of a room where the power stretcher is too big to fit, you’ll want to use the knee kicker. To use the knee kicker, place its head about 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the wall and use your leg (just above the kneecap) to finish the stretch. This tool also comes in handy for going back over the carpet after the power stretcher has done the bulk of the work, to give any trouble spots some extra care. Push the edges of the stretched carpet down into the tack strips. The carpet should also push down slightly (be embedded) in the space between the tack strips and the wall. Then, use the carpet cutter to remove any excess that is butting up against the wall. If you are using a utility knife, cut very slowly and cautiously so you don't over-trim. If you are stretching carpet over or through doorways, you’ll need to pick up some additional materials at the hardware or flooring supply store. Look for transition molding that can be nailed in place over the carpet in the doorway. This will help hold the carpet in the high-traction area.  Transition molding can also be used to cover carpet seams. If you have questions about how...

Trim your nails with a pair of nail clippers. Use a nail file to shape them as desired. Soak a cotton ball with nail polish remover, then wipe each nail clean. Push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher or orange stick, if needed. This will help the nail polish adhere better to your nails. If your nails are brittle, consider using a base coat specifically formulated for brittle nails. This can be a sheer neutral color that matches your nails, or it can be a bold color, such as black. Flat colors will work better than metallic or shimmery ones; they will contrast better with the glitter and help it show up more. You can do this step for all of your nails to save time. When you finish your last nail, the first one should already be dry. For a true gradient effect, apply the polish almost to the cuticle. Make sure that you are using a nail polish with a clear base—not metallic. Make sure that the glitter color looks nice with your base color. Silver or gold will look great against just about anything. If you want to use a colored glitter, such as purple, it would be best to match it to the nail polish itself. Use the same color of clear, glitter nail polish as before. Extend the color from the tip of your nail down to about a third of the way down. This will build onto the nail polish that is already there and create a gradient effect. Do not extend the nail polish down as much as you did on the previous layer. The area that you cover should be about the same width as the white part of your nail. For a fancier touch, you can use a chunkier glitter, but make sure that it is the same color. If you are using chunky glitter, extend a few pieces of glitter further down your nail at various spots. Remember, apply 2 coats of your base color to each nail. Follow up with 2 coats of clear, glitter polish. Finish up with a final coat of glitter polish right along the tip. Make sure that you use a regular, glossy top coat and not a matte top coat, otherwise, you will lose all that sparkle from the glitter. If your nails...

Trimming branches helps shape your plumeria and encourages growth the following year. The beginning of winter is a good time to prune your tree, just before storing for the season. Established, mature trees only need pruning to keep them at their preferred size, or if they have damaged or diseased limbs.  Plumeria are considered young for 3 or 4 years. After this, they only need to be pruned when they outgrow their space or require shaping. Never remove more than 10% of the branches to avoid stressing your frangipanis and inhibiting new growth. Blooms only grow at the end of branches and take two years to form on cut branches.  Consider pruning only half of the tree one winter, and the other half the following year to maintain seasonal flowering. Frangipanis should not be exposed to direct sunlight during pruning or in the few days following it.  If your plumeria is planted in the ground, wait until the sun is less intense and no extreme weather is expected for a few days. Doing this the first few years will encourage trees to produce more branches and become fuller. Use hand pruners and cut the stem at an angle. After cutting, the trimmings can be put in a vase, composted, or thrown away. Always wear work gloves and safety glasses when cutting. Branches ooze a milky sap when cut that can irritate skin. Frangipanis tend to produce more than one main stem, which will change the shape of your tree by making it more bushy.  Trim down any stems competing with the main trunk, or cut them off close to the beginning of the branch.  Shortening branches encourages new shoots to grow out of the branch, making your tree fuller. If you want a branch to grow new shoots, do not cut it closer than 6 inches to the main trunk. Exactly where you trim your frangipanis and how much depends on your vision for the tree. Air on the side of caution to avoid over-pruning. You can always make a second round of cuts. This will open up the remaining branches to sunlight, prevent the spread of disease, and allow the tree to become...

Trimming your hair can get rid of breakage immediately. Have a professional stylist cut your hair to remove all of the damaged ends. If you blow dry your hair regularly and spend a lot of time in the sun, your hair should be trimmed every eight weeks.  Trimming is especially important if you have split ends. The split will continue to travel up your hair shaft and your hair will break off on its own. If you trim your ends yourself, only use hair shears. Twist your hair into one inch sections around your index finger, and cut off any of the ends that pop up. Antioxidants can correct hair damage caused by the sun and chemical treatments.  Products containing rice extract and artichoke extract can make your hair shinier and smoother and repair your hair cuticle. Products containing Vitamin E (panthenol) increase the water content of your hair and make it more elastic. Improved elasticity keeps your hair from breaking when it is being manipulated. These ingredients can be found in shampoos, conditioners, and hair serums. Plant based biopolymers help your hair maintain moisture and fill the outer layer of your hair shaft that is broken. Look for products that contain carob tree extract, Cystoseira compressed seaweed extract, and Lepidium meyenii extract.  Out of these three ingredients, carob tree extract works best for smoothing the hair cuticle.  Botanical extracts are particularly effective if your hair breakage is due to chemical treatments. These ingredients can be found in shampoos, conditioners, and hair serums. Put coconut oil on your hair every day as a pre-wash treatment.  Coconut oil will coat your hair and protect your hair from losing protein when you wash it.  This will strengthen your hair and improve its appearance. The quality of your hair will improve with long-term use of coconut oil.  If you wash your hair in the morning, you can apply coconut oil before you go to bed and wash it out in the morning. If you wash your hair at night, apply the oil as a post wash treatment so it can penetrate your...

Trimming your tree during the winter months allows it to care for its wounds in spring when it will recover more quickly.  Limit trimming only to dead or broken branches on newly planted trees. Two to three years after planting you can begin developmental trimming to shape the tree. Learn the growth habits of your particular type of oak tree Before trimming, you’ll need to soak your clippers and saw blade with 9 parts water and 1 part bleach. Then rinse the tools off and let them air dry. To create a healthy oak tree that create beautiful shade, you need to develop one dominant branch on the tree. Look at your tree and notice the largest branches. There maybe 2 or even 3 branches that are all large and a similar size to each other. As the tree grows, these will turn into multiple leaders and create a weaker tree.  Decide which branch looks like it is the most vertical and centered on the trunk  and choose that one to be the dominant leader.  Trim the other branches that may turn into other leaders by reducing their size to allow more sunlight to reach the dominant leader you chose. Keep the dominant leader long. The branch collar is the swelling at the base of the branch where it begins to connect to the trunk. Trimming branches down to the branch collar will hurt the main trunk of the tree causing it damage to important tissues necessary for growth.  Shorten large branches by cutting them back to a lateral branch or bud. Always make angled cuts to encourage growth Never remove more that one third of the tree’s canopy in a single season. The tree depends on a healthy crown to create food from the sunlight and grow healthy roots in the ground. This is especially important when the tree is young. You need to prune young trees yearly to keep them growing healthily. Make sure the dominant leader is always the largest branch and trim back any large splits. Trim the branches that will prevent your tree from growing how you want it to:  Dead, diseased, or broken branches Branches that cross over or rub other...

Tropical flowers don’t do well without water for long periods. When you get home, take out your flowers and begin the process of preparing them for the vase. The sooner that you get them into fresh water, the longer they will likely live for you to enjoy. Look over each individual flower stem. Pluck off any dead or discolored petals or leaves. Consider the length of the stem and the size of your vase. Remove any foliage or greenery that will fall below the vase’s water line. Otherwise, you’ll end up with murky, greenish water. Hold the end of each stem under running water. Use a sharp paring knife or garden shears to slice off a section from the bottom of each stem. Make your diagonal cut at a 45-degree angle to keep the stem from suffocating at the bottom of your base. Trimming your stems will help them to absorb water more efficiently.  To keep your tropical flowers looking their best, trim away a little bit of each stem every few days. Make sure that your knife or shears are sharp enough to make a clean cut. Otherwise, you risk squishing and bruising the stems. Wash your vase beforehand with hot, soapy water and rinse it out thoroughly to remove any residue. This will help to kill off any harmful bacteria. Then, simply hold your vase under the sink and add cold water. If you got your tropical flowers directly from a florist, they likely included at least 1 packet of granulated flower food. Simply open this pouch up and pour it into your vase prior to adding the flowers. The food will give the flowers a bit of a nutritional boost and, hopefully, make them last longer. If you don’t have a flower food packet, then you can opt to go without. Another option is to make your own flower food by adding 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of sugar, 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of bleach, 2 teaspoons (9.9 mL) of lemon juice to a vase of lukewarm water. Cut flowers simply do better in colder temperatures, even if they are tropical in nature. A good option is to keep your flowers away from direct sunlight during the day and move the vase to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Saca las flores de su empaque de inmediato. Retira el follaje adicional. Utiliza un cuchillo afilado para cortar de 2 a 5 cm (de 1 a 2 pulgadas) de los tallos. Llena dos tercios de un florero limpio con agua fría. Agrega una bolsa de alimento para flores. Mantén las flores a una temperatura lo más cercana posible a 10 o 13 °C (50 o 55 °F). Reemplaza el agua del florero cada 2 días.


Tropical flowers thrive on sunlight and require it in order to grow. Move your planters around until the sun hits them. Only plant tropical flowers in beds that get consistent direct or indirect sunlight. Some plants, such as flowering maples, do best with bright light. Whereas, other tropical flowers, such a begonias, prefer ample, indirect sunlight. Some tropical flowers have vines that prefer to grow upwards and wrap around things. Research your plant to see if it would benefit from having a trellis nearby to latch on to. Simply stick the trellis into the ground right next to the plant and secure it with stakes.  For example, a healthy Mandevilla flowering vine will attach itself to a nearby trellis and cover it with foliage. You can purchase a wooden or metal trellis at your local gardening store. If your tropical flowers are potted, bring them into your garage or atrium to ride out the colder months. Other tropical plants, such as hibiscus, can generally survive outdoors unless temperatures drop below freezing. If it might freeze, place a blanket or bucket over your plants to minimize the damage from frost. You can also let your plants die out seasonally and simply replant in the spring. Use a pair of gardening shears to clip back new growth or dead flowers during the more mild months of the year. Limit yourself to making only a few trims each time to not overly weaken your plant. This is an especially important step for potted plants, as it keeps them from outgrowing their containers.

TL;DR in Spanish:

True beauty is virtuous because true beauty develops out of good character and caring about the world. Before you consider looking virtuous, you need to look internally so that you actually become virtuous. True inner beauty and virtue go hand-in-hand. If you practice the life of a virtuous woman, you will also be a beautiful woman. Your beauty will be authentic, unique and self-expressive rather than conformist. Maintaining inner beauty does not mean that you cannot look beautiful on the outside, as well. Beauty is harmonious, so if you are beautiful on the inside, you should take care of your body and treat it with enough respect so that others can glimpse your beauty, as well.   According to St. Thomas Aquinas, the three characteristics of beauty are radiance, harmony, and wholeness. Beautiful things shine, and their radiance can be seen externally. For beauty to be complete, outward beauty must harmonize with inward beauty. In order for beauty to be whole, it should exist outwardly and inwardly. Your beauty shines in the way you treat yourself, others, and life itself.   This does not mean that you need to be supermodel-pretty or hung up on your looks. It does mean that you should not be afraid to look your best. There is a certain amount of self-satisfaction one feels when looking in the mirror and liking what one sees. Loving yourself enough to strive for this sensation is a healthy and virtuous amount of outward beauty. A difficult task for women nowadays is balancing the fine line between looking their best while dressing modestly.   A revealing outfit might temporarily attract men, but men of character are won over by women of virtue. While men are responsible for their own thoughts and actions, they are also visual beings and tend to be influenced easily by what they see. Being kind enough and respectful enough to yourself to attract the attention and self-image you want to attract. There is a certain amount of virtue in respecting your body and treating it well.

Truly listen to what the other person is saying. One way to physically show that you are listening is to stop doing anything else you are doing. Look the person in the eye. Let the person talk, and don't interrupt until he or she is done. One way to show you value another person is to give them the gift of your time. Watch a movie together, or cook dinner together. Go out for a special outing. It doesn't really matter what you do as long as you are taking the time to enjoy each others' company. Everyone needs some kind of hobby or outlet, and it's often different for each member of a family. Ask questions about what's going on with your family members' hobbies on a regular basis, and show up for important events if you can, such as going to dance recitals or baseball games. If you notice another family member is upset, try to offer them comfort. One thing you can do is just listen to what's bothering them and try to help where you can.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Muéstrate cuando hablen. Pasen tiempo juntos. Apoya los intereses de tus familiares. Ofrece consuelo cuando alguien esté triste.


Trust is the foundation of any relationship. Since you will spend the majority of your time away from your new beau, it is important that you genuinely trust each other. Knowing that he is in a different school, surrounded by unknown people has its pros and cons. On the one hand, you won’t hear any gossip about your relationship. On the other hand, you may feel that you don’t see each other enough to develop a strong bond. Either way, it is important that you both feel confident in your relationship and that you really believe your guy is doing what he says he’s doing. Despite not being able to see him all the time, you can still keep up with him. Call, text, or even email him. Send him a text between classes or call him at the end of your day when you both have some free time. Keep it consistent. You don't have to have long, meaningful conversations all the time. Mix it up with short texts that just let him know that you were thinking of him. Tell him a funny thing that happened to you that day, or just say, "I was thinking about you." You may be making time to have regular phone conversations with your guy, but what are you really talking about? Communicating your honest thoughts, hopes, and fears brings you emotionally closer to the person, and makes for a stronger relationship. Use your time together (or on Skype, or on the phone) to truly open up. If your school systems are completely out of sync, communicate about upcoming stressful periods. These might include final exams, end of year projects, holidays, and school events. Discuss your school schedules in advance. That way you can be either prepare for less communication or prepare to help each other get work done.  For example, if you have exams, while he has a holiday, he can come over and quiz you on your work. Consider using technology like Google calendars to sync your schedules. People at school may say many things about your relationship, especially if they don’t know the guy you are dating or if he is from a rival school. Rumors and gossip can...

Try a few different positions on your body and use a full length mirror to see how the different sag-styles look on you. Some body types might not work with certain styles of sag. For example, if you have a relatively flat butt, even if you want your pants to rest there, you may find your pants slide lower even with a tightly fastened belt.  You should fasten your pants with a belt by bringing your legs together while tightening your belt. You'll want your belt to be tight against your body to keep your pants up while standing and walking. After firmly fastening your belt, you may want to readjust the way your pants are positioned. Cinching your belt can sometimes raise your pants higher than you desire. Tug your pants back into the position you prefer and check your look in a mirror. You might even wear your pants so low that the back pockets reach to the backs of your knees. This will create a visible, iconic sag-style, especially while walking. Wear your pants slightly lower in the back than in the front, as it will give them a baggy look and show off your boxers. Don't exaggerate the sag too much, however, or your might lose them completely. When wearing your sag-style, especially for extreme saggers, you'll want to keep your legs at least slightly spread apart when standing and walking. This widened stance will help keep your pants from sliding down your legs. Under layers will add width to your frame, and much like your widened stance, more width to your body will prevent your pants for sagging farther than you intend. Most saggers recommend and prefer boxer shorts when sagging to keep their backside fully covered, although you might want to avoid smooth fabric like satin or silk. Smooth fabric underwear will make it easier for your pants to slide down and off your body. You can add another sub-layer over your boxers by wearing a pair of athletic shorts. If you find that your boxers don't offer enough coverage, you could wear two pairs of shorts. These can also be worn fashionably, with the pair closest...

Try a variety of methods to create a buzz.  You want to cause discussion, to keep people thinking about your business.  An added benefit is the frequently lower capital investment needed to get your message to the public.  Go direct to your customers with a few different options to maximize your results.  Segway advertising would be an odd way to draw attention.  It’s just a matter of putting the ads on segways, and having a blast by driving them around downtown or at a mall.  Wave at people, use the novelty of the segways to draw them into a discussion about your lawn care service. Urinals and bathroom stalls are perfect for captive audiences.  Their attention is guaranteed!  For urinals, place them on the wall at about eye-level.  For stalls just use the back of the door where you’d usually read the graffiti or nothing at all.  Finding a way to tie-in the activity to your lawn care could be an unusual way to amuse and be memorable. Wrap your car!  Car billboards are mobile marketing that goes beyond the typical bumper stickers.  Supplement the typical car or truck signage with an eye-catching car wrap. Many have become famous and successful because of e-popularity, and viral marketing can extend beyond the internet.  After something takes off, word of mouth and texts often propagate the message further.  A great example of such a phenomenon is the Subservient Chicken campaign.  Make a ridiculous video and post it to YouTube or Vine.  Shares and forwards will flood the market, making you a brand name. Create a meme that combines a funny or clever phrase with your company's logo or image.  Meme generators are a great way to produce something funny in a minimal amount of time. Stage a flash mob!  The flash mob itself will create a buzz, get recorded and posted online, be talked about.  All you have to do is get your advertising in the same area to gain attention.  Getting a bunch of people to sing or dance has been successful numerous times.  Freeze mobs are pretty clever and attention-getting.  Stage one near...

Try adding pickled radishes to your everyday salad for an extra crunch and kick of flavor. You can use them as a replacement for cucumbers, or simply put them in as an addition. For example, you can create a healthy, Asian-inspired salad using only pickled radishes, cucumbers, and spring onions. Simply toss together a little bit of rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil as dressing. Try trading out pickles for pickled radishes for a different flavor note in some of your classic favorites. For example, you can use your pickled radish for a Korean burger with red onion and Miso mayonnaise. Or you could change out the relish on your hot dogs or bratwurst with your homemade radishes instead. For an easy at-home snack or party dish, throw some pickled radish onto a cracker with cheese. Try placing them on a whole wheat cracker and add some cream cheese and chives. You can also try pairing them with goat cheese, blue cheese, or crème fraîche.
