The most common cause of muscle aches without fever is simple overexertion. You may have spent too long at the gym or pushed yourself too hard during your run. As a result, your muscles may feel sore due to lactic acid buildup in the muscles. The soreness will resolve on its own if you rest the affected muscles and allow them to heal. Just lay off the exercise until you feel better.  To prevent this type of muscle ache, exercise regularly so your body isn't shocked by exertion. Gradually work your way up to serious activity instead of rushing into it. Always stretch properly before and after workouts. Increase your electrolyte consumption during the recovery period. Muscle soreness can be caused by a deficiency of electrolytes like potassium or calcium. Drink sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade to replenish the electrolytes you lost through exercise. Broken bones and torn ligaments need emergency care, but muscle strain or pain can be treated on your own. This type of muscle ache is often the result of trauma from a sports or exercise injury. Symptoms usually include pain and/or swelling of the injured area. You may have trouble moving the limb freely until the injury heals. These injuries are treated with the RICE method: Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate.  Rest the affected muscle as much as possible. Apply ice to the area to reduce swelling. The ice also numbs the nerve endings in the area, temporarily relieving pain. Apply ice packs for 15-20 minutes at a time. Compression both reduces swelling and helps stabilize the limb. This can be especially helpful if you injured your leg and are having trouble walking. Simply wrap the injured area snugly in an elastic bandage or trainer's tape. Elevating the affected area over your heart makes it harder to pump blood to it. This reduces swelling by relying on the force of gravity. Though it seems strange, the sedentary lifestyle of office work can cause painful muscle aches. Sitting in one place for long periods of time can cause lower back pain, poor...

The most common flu symptoms can be effectively treated with a medication you can pick up at your local drugstore. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend a medication that is right for you especially if you have medical issues such as high blood pressure, liver, or kidney problems, take other medications, or are pregnant. Keep in mind these will only treat symptoms and are not antiviral drugs.  Flu aches and pains can be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and aspirin, or a fever and pain reducer like Tylenol (acetaminophen). Be sure to check the package for the recommended dosage. Aspirin should not be given to children under 18. Take antihistamines and decongestants to treat congestion.  Take expectorants and cough suppressants to treat a cough. If your cough is dry and hacking, a cough suppressant that contains dextromethorphan is the best choice. However, if your cough is bringing up mucus, an expectorant containing guaifenesin is a better option to make your cough more productive.  Be careful to avoid acetaminophen overdose. Many medications contain the same active ingredients, so read labels carefully. Follow the dosing directions on the packaging and do not exceed the recommended dose. Use children’s acetaminophen or ibuprofen for children. Follow the directions on the packaging for the correct dose. You can alternate between acetaminophen and ibuprofen if your child’s fever does not respond to only one, but make sure you keep track of when you give each medication.  You can also consult the guidelines at MedlinePlus, which is run by the US National Library of Medicine. They have guidelines for ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Do not give ibuprofen to children who have been vomiting or are dehydrated.   Never give a child younger than 18 aspirin. It increases the risk of developing Reye syndrome. If you decide to go to the doctor to get help treating your illness, you may be prescribed one of the following medications, depending on what strains of the flu are...

The most common fungal skin infection is athlete's foot, the most common bacterial skin infection is staph, and the most common viral skin infections include herpes simplex (cold sores) and rashes accompanied by viral infections. Knowing the differences between the various types of infections can help you to know the causes of each and how to avoid them.  Fungal infections come from airborne organisms and typically start off in the lungs or skin. Athlete's foot, yeast infections, and ringworms are examples of common fungal infections. Athlete's foot is contagious and can be spread through contaminated floors, towels, and clothing. Bacteria is not always bad; in fact, bacteria is naturally found in the human body and less than 1% has the ability to make people sick. It is the "bad" strains of bacteria (such as Streptococcus or Staphylococcus) which causes skin infections like Cellulitis, Erysipelas and Impetigo. However, skin infections can also spread to your joints, bones, or blood. Additionally, you should be careful if anyone you know has MRSA, which is a resistant bacterial infection. Viral infections are caused by organisms that are small containers with genetic material within. They invade healthy cells, reproduce, and eventually kill the cell to make you sick. Common skin infections caused by viruses include chickenpox, cold sores, measles, and rubella. There are currently no vaccinations for cold sores, so be aware if you come across this infection. Those who are constantly around warm and moist conditions (such as athletes) are more susceptible to infections. Also, people with weakened immune systems (such as those with diabetes, cancer, or HIV) are more likely to have a skin infection.  Many athletes report infection because bacteria tends to thrive in warm and moist areas. Avoid infection by washing frequently, sanitizing shared spaces and equipment, and laundering uniforms after each use. For example, athlete's foot typically occurs as a result of your sweaty feet being confined in tight-fitting...

The most common materials are plastic and fabric, such as burlap. Smaller plants can even use coffee filters. The material you use simply depends on the size of the pot you’re lining and what material you have at your disposal. Look around your house for material you can repurpose into pot liners.  Plastic milk gallons, bottles, and similar items can be great pot liners. You can cut off the spout, wash out the inside, and nestle the body of the jug or bottle into a similarly sized pot. You must use a material that you can poke holes in. It is critical that water can drain from your pot liner. In other words, place your liner within the planter and use a writing utensil to mark the places you’ll need to cut or trim. For example, if you are using a piece of burlap, place it within the planter and mark where the burlap extends beyond the rim of the planter. If you’re using an old plastic carton, mark where you’ll cut the plastic so that it nestles discreetly into the pot. The liner can fit all the way to the bottom of your planter, but it doesn't have to. If you have a very deep pot, you might not want to fill the entire thing with soil. If you create a pot liner that is sturdy and strong enough to hold your soil and plant, you can always try creating one that hangs from the rim of the planter without actually going all the way to the bottom. The planter or pot will appear to be completely full, but only the liner will actually be full. If the liner doesn't reach the bottom of the pot, you can also place rocks or packing peanuts in the pot. Typically, you will want to cut it so that it’s not easily visible, and it appears that the plant is directly placed in the decorative pot or planter. However, you should leave enough material so that you can grasp it when you need to pull out the liner from the pot. Using sharp scissors, cut the liner material along the marks you made against the planter. Place it in the pot, and double check if you need to trim again.  If you’re using a fabric liner, such as burlap, try...

The most common mistake is to fill a car with diesel when it needs to run unleaded or filling a diesel vehicle with gasoline. The improper fuel can do serious damage to your engine, and can even total the car if you're not careful. Make sure you not only drain the fuel tank of the wrong fuel, but to flush out the fuel lines and replace the fuel filters. Fuel can, and will, go bad when it is just sitting in a tank. If you're thinking of dusting off the old car in the garage for a spin, make sure you drain and replace the gas to ensure that everything runs smoothly. This is equally important if you're trying to fix a car up or work on it's engine. The introduction of ethanol into the gas supply has greatly reduced the life-span of gasoline. It degrades much faster, meaning you need to be extra vigilant about draining the fuel if the car hasn't run in a long time. You can't proceed with the repair if there is still gas in the tank, so be sure to take you time draining it before beginning. You must also drain the gas to replace the fuel gauge sending unit.

The most common places for fungal infections to occur on the body are in warm, moist places where there is little light. Armpits, the groin area, and under the breasts are common areas for fungal growth.  The inframammary fold is the area under the breast. This area is well-suited for fungus to grow. The most common type of fungus that causes an infection under the breast is a yeast called candida. This is the same yeast, or candida, that causes vaginal infections and yeast infections in the mouth called thrush. There are no serious long-term consequences of a candida infection under the breast, other than a darkening of the skin which can be permanent, and the possibility that the condition will spread. The rash associated with a fungal infection under the breast can vary in appearance. The rash occurs in areas where the breast tissue folds against the skin of the upper stomach or chest area.  Most often the rash will be pink to red in color, itchy, have areas that are growing outward, and contain small bumps, especially along areas where there are hair follicles, such as under the arm. The rash is sometimes referred to as an intertrigo rash.  Intertrigo is an area of the skin that is inflamed, and occurs in places that are warm, moist, and where two skin areas press against each other. The rash associated with intertrigo can be caused by a fungus, bacteria, or prolonged exposure to moisture. There is usually an odor present. The odor is caused by persistent moisture and the breakdown of healthy skin tissue. Treating a fungal infection with associated intertrigo under the breasts can be accomplished by altering the environment that is promoting the growth of the fungus, and by using an antifungal medication prescribed by your doctor.  To alter the environment, take steps to avoid the skin folds pressing against one another and prevent the accumulation of moisture. Be sure you have a bra that fits well and prevents your breast tissue from resting against the skin of your upper stomach or chest area. If...

The most common reason that claims are denied is because there is not enough proof of a disability. Wait until you have spoken to your doctor to submit your claim. This will ensure that the doctor is willing and able to provide support. If you have applied for Social Security benefits and were denied, you can appeal. In this case, you will have to go before a judge. Get the doctor’s letter of support before you go to the judge or you may lose the appeal. If you have multiple doctors, the doctor that sees you most frequently is often the best person to ask. They will know the most about you and your condition. If you only have one doctor or if your condition is not currently being treated, your primary care physician will be your best bet.  You must have an M.D., D.O., or Ph.D. fill out the form or letter for you. You cannot ask a nurse or physician’s assistant. If you have a mental condition, such as anxiety or depression, you should go to your psychiatrist if you have one. The best doctor to ask is one with whom you have a long relationship. If you ask a new doctor, they may not know enough about you or your condition to write an accurate letter. Use specific examples from your life to show the daily impact of your disability. You can give this written statement to your doctor. In general, your doctor will need to know:  When the condition started. For example, write down when you first experienced symptoms or identify how many years you have struggled with it. How the condition affects your life. For example, if you have severe depression, you may not leave your house for long periods of time. How the condition impacts your ability to work. For example, if you have a back injury, you may no longer be able to work your job in a warehouse. How the condition affects your ability to stand, sit, walk, or remember. For example, if you have arthritis, you may not be able to bend or stoop. The discussion will go more smoothly if the doctor is expecting it.

The most common spots of soreness you get while sleeping on the ground are joints like your tailbone, shoulder blades, and hips. Place a small pillow or folded towel wherever you feel uncomfortable. The additional cushioning often makes the difference between a good night’s sleep and an achy morning. Using extra cushioning is valuable when you’re used to sleeping on a mattress. Joint aches decrease the more you get accustomed to being on the floor. If you plan on sleeping on the floor more than once, take it slow. Set out a few layers of blankets to make your body feel like it’s on a mattress. Put down as much cushioning as you need to get through the night. To get more used to sleeping on the floor, remove some of the blankets every few nights. Eventually, you will be able to sleep on the floor with the bare minimum in cushioning. Get more accustomed to sleeping on the floor by gradually reducing your time on a mattress. Set an alarm for about 2 hours before you have to get up. Move to the floor when your alarm goes off. Most of the time, you will be so tired you fall asleep right away. It’s all about getting used to the experience. Sleeping on the floor feels different than sleeping on a soft mattress. Gradually spend more of the night on the floor to reduce the soreness. Practice is the only way to get more comfortable with sleeping on the floor. You most likely will feel uncomfortable or even sore at first. The pain goes away the more you practice. If you have a big event, like a sleepover or camping trip, try practicing at home so you are better able to get through the night. Get the gear you plan on bringing to your event, such as a good blanket, your favorite pillow, or a sleeping bag.

The most common symptom in both men and women with gonorrhea is painful/burning urination. This sensation may disappear on its own, but is often painful enough to send men to the doctor. In both men and women, gonorrhea produces a yellowish-greenish, thick discharge from the genitals. It is a secretion produced by the bacteria itself. In women this secretion can also be accompanied by bleeding between periods. It is the body’s way of expelling the foreign agent. Any unusual vaginal discharge should be examined by a doctor. This could be a sign of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) — a common symptom of gonorrhea in women. If you have PID, you might also experience fevers greater than or equal to 101 Fahrenheit. 750,000 cases of PID are diagnosed annually. 10% of those with PID face infertility. In both men and women, gonorrhea can cause general inflammation of one’s genitals.  Women may experience swelling, redness, or soreness of the vulva (the opening of the vagina).  In men, gonorrhea can lead to swollen testicles and an inflamed prostate gland. In both women and men who practice anal sex, gonorrhea can produce anal discharge and painful bowel movements. Frequent and persistent diarrhea can accompany anal gonorrhea. See your doctor immediately, if you experience these symptoms. Gonococcal pharyngitis or gonorrhea of the mouth produces sore throat, discomfort while swallowing, general redness, and whitish/yellowish discharge. The symptoms are the same for men and women. People with oral gonorrhea usually do not transmit the disease to others, but it is possible through direct contact with the back of the mouth. Kissing does not normally transmit the disease. Contact between the pharynx and body parts/objects can lead to transmission. Most people with oral gonorrhea often mistake their condition for strep throat or the common cold. Only after visiting the doctor do they discover that they have oral gonorrhea.

The most common symptom of UC is blood in the stool (poop). It may be in the form of fresh red blood, a mixture with mucus or a streak on the surface of a hard stool. A bloody stool indicates bleeding in the digestive system somewhere. If it's bright red in color then it signifies bleeding from the colon or rectum.  The blood may also be accompanied by pus (dead white blood cells). Blood in the stool is also a common symptom of colon and stomach cancers. Blood that looks like coffee grinds comes from the upper digestive system, such as the stomach or small intestine. Many types of problems in the digestive system cause diarrhea, so it's not specific to UC, but the timing of it is important. Watery diarrhea after taking a meal or at nighttime is indicative of UC. This happens because the intestines rapidly push the digested fecal material past the ulcerated area to avoid aggravating the inflammation.  Although acute (short term) diarrhea usually passes quickly, chronic diarrhea for more than a few weeks is a sign of a significant digestive tract problem. If the rectum becomes really swollen from UC, the intestines will slow down the digestive process to spare the rectum from holding feces for a prolonged period. Consequently, constipation can occur after long bouts of diarrhea. Diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration, so keep yourself well hydrated by drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of purified water daily. Along with cramping from chronic diarrhea, another sign of UC is vague lower or central abdominal pain. The pain is from the ulceration through the mucosal layers of the large intestine/bowel. There's not as many nerve endings there as other places on your skin, the pain is more vague and often described as a mild-to-moderate burning sensation.  This type of pain is very different from that caused by Crohn’s disease (another type of IBD) or appendicitis, which are usually felt in the lower right side of the abdomen. The burning abdominal pain of UC is usually not relieved by defecation (taking a poop). With...

The most common symptoms of OM include ear pain or ear tugging (if the child can't yet verbalize pain), fussiness, fever, and even vomiting. In addition, a child may eat or have trouble sleeping normally because lying down, chewing, and sucking can alter the pressure in the ear and cause pain. Adults will also experience pain, a sensation of pressure, and increase discomfort while lying down.  Given that the age group most commonly affected from ear infections and fluid ranges from three months to two years old, parents or primary caregivers will be required to give as much information and history as possible to the doctor on their children's behalf. Thus, it's important to keep track and careful record of any noted symptoms. If you notice any discharge of fluid, pus or bloody discharge, see a doctor immediately. " Ear infections are considered secondary infections that follow the "common cold", or the primary infection. You should expect to see a few days of nasal discharge or congestion, cough, sore throat, and a low fever, all typical symptoms that accompany colds. Most colds are due to viral infections and, given that there is no treatment for viral infections, there is usually no reason to seek medical attention. Only seek medical attention if the fever cannot reaches temperatures higher than 102°F (38.9°C). Keep track of all symptoms of the cold, as your doctor will want to know about the primary infection. The cold should last for a week. If you don't see improvement after a week, visit your doctor. The middle ear is normally filled with air which transmits sound waves. When the middle ear is filled with fluid during an infection sounds will be different or reduced. Some people complain that it sounds like listening to sounds under water. Signs that proper hearing may be impacted include:  Failure to respond to soft sounds or other noises The need to turn up the TV or radio to a louder volume Talking in an usually loud voice General inattentiveness Most ear infections don't cause long-term...

The most common symptoms of worm infestation in chickens are: abnormal, foamy looking droppings; diarrhea; pale comb/wattles; weight loss; dirty vent feathers; listlessness; gasping, head-shaking and stretching; decreased egg production; and sudden death. Keep an eye out for worms in your chickens' droppings and throat as well. You only have to worry about a handful of worm types: cecal worms, roundworms, tapeworms, capillary worms, and gapeworms. But not all of them are equally dangerous. Once you notice one (or more) types, you can treat your chicken with the appropriate medication. For example, cecal worms are common but not typically damaging to chicken health. They are visible in droppings and about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) long.  Roundworms are common and visible in droppings with heavy loads. They can be as much as 3 inches (7.6 cm) long. Tapeworms are rare and typically harmless. However, they can cause death in large infestations. They are anywhere from 0.157 inches (4.0 mm) long to up to 9.84 inches (25.0 cm) long. Capillary worms are thin and thread-like. They are not typically visible in droppings and are about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) long. Gapeworms are not common and have a red, fork-like appearance. They are visible in droppings and cause chickens to gasp, cough, open their mouth repeatedly, and stretch their neck. Veterinarians use a worm egg count as a method of diagnosing worms. Although you can visit the veterinarian and have them determine this count, you can also purchase an egg count kit and microscope to determine it on your own. Products come with a chart that tells you if your count is light, moderate, or heavy.  Purchase worm count kits and microscopes from online suppliers. Make sure the kit contains the chemical flubendazole. If only some of your chickens appear to have worms, it is still likely that they will give the worms to the other chickens, so it is a good idea to treat the whole flock. Send the feces to a veterinarian if your chickens are losing weight or having other problems and you...

The most common test for the diagnosis of lactase deficiency is called a hydrogen breath test. This test is done at your doctor's office or an outpatient clinic, but typically after you've experimented with an elimination diet. The hydrogen breath test involves drinking a sweet liquid containing lots of lactose (25 grams). Your doctor then measures the amount of hydrogen gas in your breath at regular intervals (every 30 minutes). With people who can digest lactose, very little or no hydrogen is detected; however, for lactose intolerant people, the hydrogen reading is much higher because the sugar ferments in their colons via bacteria and produces the gas.  The hydrogen breath test is great way to identify lactose intolerance because it's highly reliable and very convenient. The test typically requires you to fast the night before and avoid smoking. Using too much lactose on some people can give false positives, as can bacterial overgrowth in their colons. The lactose tolerance test is a blood test used to gauge your body's reaction to consuming high levels of lactose (usually 50 grams). A fasting serum glucose is taken by your doctor as a baseline measurement and then compared to readings taken one to two hours after drinking the lactose beverage. If your blood glucose level doesn't increase by 20 g/dL above the baseline within that time frame, it means your body isn't properly digesting and/or absorbing lactose.  The blood glucose/lactose tolerance test is an older method of diagnosing lactose intolerance and not performed nearly as frequently as the hydrogen breath test, but it can also be helpful. The blood glucose/lactose tolerance test has a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 96%.  False-negative results occur with diabetes and bacterial overgrowth in the intestines. Undigested lactose creates lactic acid and other fatty acids in your colon, which end up in your feces. A stool acidity test, which is typically used on infants and young children, can detect these acids from a stool sample. The child...

The most common type of skin bacterial infections are staphylococcal.  Staphylococcal, or staph infections, are more common and live in your skin and mucous membranes. Sometimes, this bacteria is harmless; in fact, a significant proportion of the population is considered to be "colonized" with staph on their skin. However, certain strains of staph or inoculation with high amounts of staph can cause serious infection. Common staph infections include:  Ecthyma — Also known as “crusted ulcers.” This may be a deep form of impetigo, and is characterized by deep and crusted sores.   Hair follicle infections — This may include boils, abscesses, sycosis, folliculitis, or carbuncles. Skin infection wounds — These wounds include dermatitis and diabetic ulcers. Anyone can get a bacterial skin infection. Staph infections may occur if you have a cut or open wound that is not cleaned properly. You may pick up a staph infection if you come into contact with someone who already has one. A staph infection can occur anywhere on the body.  If you were recently in the hospital, you may have developed an infection in an injection or surgery site.  You may get an infection near a tube or catheter opening. Also check cracks on the feet and any sites where you may have been scratched. You will want to seek medical attention from your doctor or emergency room or urgent care if you think you have any of these illness. Staph infections usually need to be treated by a doctor, either with antibiotics, by draining an abscess, or both. Failure to do so may cause spread of the infection or even death.

The most common type of steamer is a basket made of stainless steel that fits into a 9 inches (23 cm) pot on the stove. The basket opens so you can place the eggplant inside and then folds closed to steam the vegetables.  Look for metal steamers at your local kitchen supply store or online. Most metal steamers are dishwasher safe, making them easy to clean and use. Bamboo steamers come in two pieces, a round bamboo bowl and a bamboo lid that fits snugly over the bowl. These steamers are great if you want to steam a lot of vegetables at once.  Look for bamboo steamers that are 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) in diameter at your local kitchen supply store or online. You can also use bamboo steamers to cook other items, such as meat or dumplings. If you don’t have access to a steamer, make one with a metal colander and a heat-safe plate or the lid of a pot. Make sure the lid or plate fits snugly over the colander. Do not use plastic items to make the steamer, as they may not hold up to the heat.

The most common way to cook bacon-wrapped scallops is to broil them.  Place the oven rack 6 inches from the source of heat.  Set the oven to broil and allow it to preheat. The basic recipe for bacon-wrapped scallops is very simple.  Toss the wrapped scallops in melted butter and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.  You can use olive oil in place of butter. Teriyaki sauce is a common variation to the simple butter recipe.  Combine 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons of minced ginger in a bowl.  Toss the wrapped scallops in the mixture. Line the scallops on a baking sheet.  Place the baking sheet on the oven rack and allow the scallops to broil for 10-15 minutes until the bacon is cooked completely through. Flip the scallops half way through the cook time.  Remove the baking sheet using an oven mitt and flip the scallops using tongs, then replace the scallops and finish broiling them.

The most common way to eat canned tuna is by making a tuna salad. Typically, this consists of mixing canned tuna with mayonnaise and a variety of chopped vegetables, such as carrots, celery, cucumber, or tomato. Then add salt and pepper to taste. Tuna salad can be served on a sandwich or over a bed of greens. This creates a simple and tasty meal. Tuna casserole is a tasty and simple way to incorporate tuna into your diet. To make tuna casserole, you will need to combine canned tuna with noodles, cream of mushroom soup, peas, onions, and any other vegetables. Then bake the dish in the oven and finally sprinkle with cheese before serving. Canned tuna can also be used to make tuna patties that can then be served as burgers or eaten on their own with a bit of tartar sauce and lemon juice.

The most common way to serve boudin is whole and as quick, tasty snacks.  Many people describe boudin as a spicy pork and rice casserole stuffed into a casing. As such, it can be a very filling snack on its own. Typically, the casing is so tough that you would simply split it open and squeeze the stuffing out, directly into your mouth. You could use either your fingers or teeth for this. If the casing is thin enough, however, you may prefer to bite into the link little by little in the same way you would eat a sausage. Boudin links can also be served as appetizers or Hors d'oeuvres. When presenting the links in this manner, use a sharp knife to cut each link diagonally into 1-inch or 2-inch (2.5-cm or 5-cm) slices. Slices of boudin can be served as a separate appetizer, but if you want to prepare something with more variety, you can place the slices on a larger platter with cubes of cheese and crackers. Boudin can be served at breakfast, just as other sausages are. Serve them alongside eggs and hashbrowns for a popular combination. For a slightly different twist, break open the end of the casing and squeeze the filling out using your fingers. Spoon this filling in between the two halves of a sliced bagel, biscuit, or croissant. Add scrambled eggs and cheese, if desired, and enjoy as a zesty breakfast sandwich. If you want to enjoy boudin as part of the main course at lunch or dinner, you can serve it with sandwich bread or buns.  You can place a single link inside of a large hot dog bun and serve the boudin like a bratwurst. Garnishes may not be necessary since boudin is so flavorful on its own, but if you want to try something, consider barbecue sauce, hot sauce, onions, and banana peppers. Alternatively, you could arrange pieces of boudin on sandwich bread. Cut the boudin links into 1-inch (2.5-cm) diagonal slices using a sharp knife. Arrange these slices on one piece of bread, then top with onions, coleslaw, hot sauce, or any other desired toppings. Place the second piece on top and enjoy.

The most commonly used classes of OTC pain medications include Acetaminophen (Tylenol), and a class of drugs called "NSAIDs." NSAIDs stand for "nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs," and include medications such as Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and Naproxen sodium (Aleve). Aspirin is also technically an NSAID, although it more frequently used in the prevention of heart attacks and strokes than it is in easing chronic pain.  OTC pain medications are generally safe to take in the short-term (meaning for less than 10 days at a time), as long as you adhere to the dosing instructions on the bottle and do not exceed them. It is generally okay to have 500–1000 mg of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) every four to six hours as needed. However, if you consume moderate to heavy alcohol, your usage needs to be less and you should either temporarily reduce your consumption of alcohol, or speak to your doctor about a dosage that is safe for you. It is generally okay to have 400–800 mg of Ibuprofen (such as Advil) every four to six hours as needed. Note that the dosage for OTC drugs is smaller in children, and specific instructions will be present on the bottle. If you need to use OTC meds for more than 10 days to manage your pain, it is always advisable to book an appointment with your doctor to discuss the risks and benefits of doing so. Your doctor can also diagnose any underlying conditions (the root cause of your pain) at this time, and possibly advise different treatment options that may be more useful for you (depending, of course, upon what specifically is causing your pain). The greatest risk associated with excessive Acetaminophen (Tylenol) use is the possibility of liver toxicity. NSAIDs such as Advil should not be taken without first consulting a doctor if you have problems with stomach ulcers, or are on a blood thinning medication such as Warfarin or Coumadin (as NSAIDs can increase your risk of bleeding).  Another risk of overusing OTC drugs is when people inadvertently overdose by continuing with the maximum dosage of...

The most commonly used diagnostic criteria for PCOS are the “Rotterdam criteria.” A diagnosis of PCOS may be made when two of the following criteria are present:   Androgen excess. Androgens are hormones produced by both men and women. However, they are present at higher levels in males. Androgen excess in females can cause symptoms such as:  hirsutism (abnormal or excessive hair growth) acne androgenic alopecia (male-pattern baldness or hair thinning/loss)  weight gain, especially localized around the abdominal area    Ovulatory dysfunction. The most common sign of ovulatory dysfunction is irregular menstrual cycles.  Frequent bleeding (more often than every 21 days) may be a sign of ovulatory dysfunction. Infrequent bleeding (less often than every 35 days) may also be a sign of ovulatory dysfunction.    Polycystic ovaries. The ovaries must be examined by ultrasound. Your doctor will check your ovaries for:  Bilateral enlargement (>10 cc) Quantity and size of follicles (generally 12 or more, measuring 2-9 mm) Multiple follicles of similar size Peripheral location of follicles, which can give a string of pearl appearance There is no one single test that can confirm a diagnosis of PCOS. Your doctor will need to perform several examinations and tests. Your primary care physician or your gynecologist can usually do basic examinations and tests. He or she may also refer you to a specialist for further testing.  If you have PCOS and are having difficulty conceiving and wish to conceive, you may be referred to see a reproductive endocrinologist. These doctors specialize in treating PCOS with the goal of increasing fertility. If you have PCOS but do not want to conceive or are not having difficulty conceiving, you may be referred to see a medical endocrinologist. Because PCOS can cause so many symptoms, it is important to tell your physician about all the symptoms you are experiencing. Even if you do not think the symptoms are related, give your doctor a full account of any symptoms you have. Make sure you also give...

The most direct way to find out if you have run-flat tires is to check your owner’s manual. If your car still has its original tires and they are run-flat, the owner’s manual will explain everything you need to know about your run-flat tires and the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). Run-flat tires started coming onto the new car market in the early 2000s. The newer your car is, the higher the chances are that it came with run-flat tires.  Specific car companies more commonly use run-flat tires on their new cars, especially BMW and Lexus. Toyota puts run flat-tires on some of their coupes and sedans. If you have one of these types of cars with original tires on it, it’s possible that you have run-flat tires. BMW cars are by far the most common car where you will find run-flat tires. If you have a newer BMW, chances are high that you have run-flat tires. A car with original run-flat tires on it will not come with a spare tire in the trunk. If your car comes with a tire repair kit in the trunk instead of a spare tire, it’s possible that you have run-flat tires. If you’re still not sure, ask the dealer or check in your owner’s manual to find out. Cars fitted with run-flat tires also have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which monitors the air pressure in the tires. If your air pressure is low, a light will come on that alerts you about the low pressure. Your owner’s manual will explain where to look for this warning and what to do if it lights up.

The most direct way to invest in Chinese real estate is to actually buy property there.  Understand that you cannot purchase Chinese real estate unless you are a resident. If you want to go this route, you will need to move to China, to live and work for at least one year before you will be allowed to purchase real estate. Additionally, you will have to demonstrate that the residence is for personal use.  Also be aware that since China is a communist country, land is owned by the state. This means that while you may “purchase” land, you do not actually own it. Rather, you have paid for the right to use the land. This also means that the state can buy you out of your property at any time, usually for less than you paid for it. Because so much money has been invested into real estate, at the moment, there is more housing than people to buy them (or at least who can afford them). This has created one of the biggest housing bubbles in history, so buying in China is a huge risk at the moment. For foreigners wanting to purchase real estate, it is recommended that you focus on bigger cities, which are likely to have better, more developed infrastructure, as well as a larger expatriate community. For example, Shanghai and Beijing. Certain areas of the city you are interested in are likely to be more developed than others. These areas will probably be more popular, and thus, more expensive. However, since you are living there, you will have the opportunity to learn about which parts of the city are up-and-coming and which to avoid. If you are willing to take a bit of risk, you can consider investing in real estate in an area that is not so popular at the moment, but which is also becoming more popular and trendy as time goes on. In these up-and-coming areas, you will likely be able to purchase real estate much cheaper and live there for a time. If you are lucky, and the area really does become the new hot-spot, you will then be able to sell this real estate for much more than what you paid, especially if you continue...

The most distinctive thing about Kevin Durant's shooting technique is that he doesn't square up to the basket to take a shot, he instead aligns himself by pointing his hip to the hole. Some analysts believe that squaring up this way can help to take tension away from the neck and shoulders, resulting in a more natural action, though it traditionally isn't the way shooting is taught. Likewise, Durant's feet aren't aimed at the hoop when he shoots, but turned to approximately 10 on the clock, if the basket is 12. Some other shooters, like Dirk Nowitzki, orient themselves to the basket similarly, lessening the torque on the neck and shoulders and throwing off defenders. Durant doesn't jump straight up in the air when he takes a shot. Instead, he sweeps his feet forward and sways his shoulders back, resulting in a high-arcing shot that he's learned to make incredibly accurate. It's not the most technically-perfect form for a shot from long-range, but it has yielded great shooting percentages for KD. . Unlike Reggie Miller and Kobe, who have strange off-kilter follow-throughs, Durant's shot itself is fairly straightforward and his technique is pure, other than his foot placement. He keeps his elbows in tight, puts his hand in the cookie jar during the follow through, and almost always makes his shot. Unlike flashier players like LeBron and Kobe, Kevin Durant's game is basically built around his jump shot, which he earns by making his way to space and passing the ball, not by using step-jukes and other methods of shaking the player. Unlike other tall ballers, Durant also hops on almost every shot, however close he is to the ball, using his good arcing from any distance.

The most evident symptom of a low-risk HPV infection is genital warts. These warts may appear as small raised bumps, flat lesions, or small protrusions from the skin. These warts tend to be grouped, and can show within days or weeks of infection.  In women, genital warts are most often seen on the vulva and labia, but may also occur around the anus, in the vagina, or on the cervix. Low-risk HPV strains may also lead to some lesions around the cervix, but generally speaking will not lead to cancerous cell development. High-risk HPV rarely has any associated symptoms unless it has progressed to an advanced stage of cancer. This is why it is important to get an annual pelvic exam from your OB-GYN, who may be able to detect problems before they advance to a cancerous or pre-cancerous level. Symptoms of advanced-stage HPV that may be causing cervical cancer include:  Irregular bleeding or spotting between periods or after sexual intercourse. Irregular menstrual cycles. Fatigue. Weight loss or loss of appetite. Back, leg, or pelvic pain. A single swollen leg. Vaginal discomfort. Odorous discharge from the vagina. High-risk HPV most commonly causes cervical cancer, but it has also been linked to cancer of the vulva, anus, and throat. These cancers can be detected early if you get regular medical examinations, which is why it is important to get regular screenings.  On exposed areas, such as the vulva or around the anus, swipe a flat palm over the area to check for lumps that may indicate genital warts. If you believe you have been exposed to HPV at any point, alert both your OB-GYN and your general practitioner, and ask them to screen you for any potential cancers associated with HPV.

The most exciting free movie is a free movie that hasn't even been released yet, which are often shown in advance to generate hype and get feedback. Look for these opportunities as frequently as you can, since tickets usually disappear fast. More opportunities are available in population centers.  To find screenings for a specific movie, go to AdvanceScreenings.com. (US only) Visit Gofobo and enter your zip code. Many of the other websites will lead you here, so you can save some time by creating a free account in advance. (US only) Like the WildAboutMovies Facebook page If one of the sites above asks you for an RSVP code, search online for the name of the movie, the location it's being screened in, and "RSVP code" or "access code." Searching on twitter is also a good idea, since companies will sometimes give away these codes to followers.  These tend to include a lot of promotions and advertising that don't include the magic words "free movie." If you're willing to sift through these for advance screening deals, sign up for the theater chains with a location in your area:  RegMovies AMC Theaters There are usually more tickets given out than there are seats in the theater. Show up at least 45 minutes early to minimize the chance that you're turned away. Some screenings even have receptions before the movie, so you'll definitely want to show up early for those. Some people in San Francisco report the theater filling up as early as 1.5 hours before the movie begins. Some advance screenings do not allow mobile phones or cameras into the theater, to prevent competing studios from recording the film for the purposes of plagiarism. This practice is less common for screenings closer to the release date.

The most important celebration of the Passover week is the seder, a festive meal, which is usually held on the first night of Passover. The seder plate plays a central role in the Passover celebration. It consists of six symbolic foods, plus three pieces of matzah which will be placed on a separate plate. The six symbolic foods are:  The Bitter Herbs. Traditionally this would be horseradish, but parsley, green onion, or celery can also be used. The Paste or Charoset. This is a sweet mixture which represents the mortar used by the slaves to build the pyramids of Egypt. It is usually a ground mixture of apples, nuts and wine. A variety of recipes can be found online. The Vegetable. This is a non-bitter, root vegetable such as a boiled potato. This represents the hard labor of the slaves. The Shankbone. This is a shankbone, usually lamb or goat, which symbolizes the sacrificial lamb of Passover. The Egg. A hard-boiled egg used to symbolize the offering made in the days of the Temple. The Lettuce. This is usually romaine, which like the bitter herbs symbolizes the bitterness of slavery. This is a book which will contain the necessary prayers, as well as the procedures and story of Passover for the seder. It is a useful guide for how to perform the seder properly.  You can find a copy of the Haggadah in English online. You can also listen to a recitation of “The Order of the Seder” online. This is a blessing said over wine in honor of Passover. Say the Kiddush blessing and then drink the first of four cups of wine. You can then pour the second cup of wine but do not drink it yet. Wash your hands without a blessing. This is to prepare for the eating of the Karpas. This is a vegetable, usually parsley. Dip the vegetable in the saltwater and eat it. The vegetable is a symbol of the humble origins of the Jewish people. The salt water is a symbol of the tears shed due to slavery. Break the middle of the three matzah on the table, known as "yachatz". Return the smaller part to the pile. The larger part will be returned...

The most important ingredient in a flickering redstone torch (and the one that gives it its name) is Redstone. Redstone can be obtained in a variety of ways, though perhaps the most straightforward is to simply mine it from redstone ore. Redstone ore occurs naturally underground and requires an iron pickaxe or better to mine. Each block of redstone ore yields 4-5 redstone. Redstone can also be obtained several other ways, including:  By trading with a villager priest By killing a witch, who drop 0-6 redstone when they die By collecting redstone dust in jungle temples, where it naturally occurs By crafting from a block of  redstone. (Uses 8 redstone) As is the case with ordinary torches, redstone torches require a wooden stick for crafting. Luckily, this ingredient is fairly common, as it is used in many craftable items. Sticks can be crafted from two wood planks (one above the other), which, combined, will yield 4 sticks. Other ways to obtain sticks include:  Killing a witch, who drop 0-6 sticks when they die Finding them in a bonus chest (Not in Minecraft Pocket Edition) When you have your redstone and stick, open your inventory and use the crafting menu to combine them. A single redstone torch is created from one stick and one redstone. A word of caution when using redstone torches - since the light they provide is significantly less than that of a normal torch, mobs are able to spawn nearby. Don't be caught unprepared! You've now created a fully functional redstone torch. However, to create a pulsing/flickering effect, you'll need additional supplies of redstone for the purpose of laying redstone circuitry. Thus, you may need to mine more redstone ore as needed or be ready to obtain it through one of the other methods.

The most important item to buy is either canvas or burlap measuring 2 1/2 feet by 4 1/2 feet.  This can be found at most craft stores.  You can choose any color of canvas or burlap you like, but remember that you will be painting designs on top of the material.  Therefore, you should go for lighter colors, such as white or off-white. You will also need to pick up the following items: painter's tape, fabric paint, a paper plate, a small paintbrush, a template with your design of choice, sandpaper, an iron, fabric glue, two 7/8-inch dowels, two eye hooks, and twine to hang your tapestry. Measure, with a ruler, 3 inches from the bottom of the canvas and draw a straight horizontal line.  Take a piece of masking tape that is 2 1/2 feet long and place it along this line (top edge of masking tape goes on the line).  Measure 1 inch above the masking tape, and draw another straight, horizontal line. Place a 2 1/2 foot long piece of masking tape along this line (bottom edge of masking tape goes along line). Place a small amount of fabric paint on a paper plate.  Dip the paintbrush into the paint, and paint between the two pieces of tape.  While you can slightly paint over the tape, make sure not to get loose paint on the rest of the canvas.  It is best to dab rather than to brush in long strokes.  Wipe your paintbrush off with a paper towel, and then run it under some hot water.  This will get the excess paint off.  Wait for the paint to dry before you safely remove the tape strips. You can add more paint stripes above the one you made.  Simply repeat the previous instructions, adjusting the height of each of your stripes (instead of a 1 inch stripe, you may want to paint a 1/2 inch stripe above the one you already painted). Leave some space in between each stripe so that you can clearly see each one.  Make sure not to make too many stripes, as you need some space to paint on your design. You will want to stick to something basic that can be identified simply by the outline of the object or thing.  Many simple designs...

The most important muscle to be aware of is your diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle that stretches across the bottom of the rib cage. Contracting the diaphragm (inhaling) pushes down on the stomach and intestines to make room for air, and lowers air pressure in your chest, allowing you to take air into your lungs. To exhale, you can simply relax your diaphragm, which allows the air to leave your chest cavity at a natural rate, or you keep your diaphragm engaged against the stomach and intestines to control the rate of exhalation. The latter is very important for singing. To improve your breath control, you need to be completely in tune with the entrance and exit of air from your body. Find a quiet, distraction-free environment where you can sit for a few minutes every day and just focus on how inhaling and exhaling feels in your body. Many people take very shallow breaths that will not help you breathe, so you need to learn how to breathe in a way that makes best use of your lung capabilities.  Inhale slowly and deeply, feeling the air move downward through your mouth and throat and into your body. Imagine that the air is very heavy. Visualize pushing it all the way down below your belly button before letting yourself exhale. As you go through repetitions, inhale more quickly. Continue to imagine the air being heavy and pushing it down into your stomach. Feel how your abdomen and lower back expand. Place one hand on your chest, and the other on your stomach. When you inhale, make sure the hand on your stomach moves more than the one on your chest — you should be pulling air down deep into your body, not shallowly into your chest. After inhaling deeply and pulling the air down into your body, try controlling how long you can keep the air in your body without growing uncomfortable. Try to increase the length of time.  Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose, making sure to draw your breath down into your abdomen like in the previous exercise. Try to hold it for a count of seven, then exhale. Repeat several...

The most important part of being a captain is leading by example. Because you are the captain, your teammates will look up to you and follow your lead whether you want them to or not. No matter the situation, your teammates need to see you working as hard as you can to win the game; you are also the primary person who will either be rewarded for credit or criticised for the team's performance.  Some ways to show your effort include not jogging when you should be running, and never giving up on a play. If you slack off, or give less effort, that is a sign that they do not need to try as hard either. This is especially important if you are losing during a game. Don’t let the situation dictate your effort.  Let your teammates know that you will always give your best effort, even if you don’t win the game. It can be hard to keep that energy up while losing, and your teammates will need your example to help. On the field, you should treat your opponents with respect. After the game is over, be sure to shake their hands as well. No matter how contentious the game, congratulate them on a good contest. Let your teammates know it is okay and important to be respectful of the everyone playing.  Be respectful to fans. You can always lead your teammates in saluting or applauding the cheers of your own fans after the game. Ignore booing, taunts, or insults to show your teammates that those things shouldn’t affect their performance. Never shout back or make obscene gestures in response to negative fan comments. Talk to your teammates about sportsmanship as well. Ask them to describe what they think sportsmanship means, and how they are going to practice it during games. That way they will know and understand what you are doing, rather than you hoping they pick it up. It never hurts to remind them of the proper way to treat each other and their opponents. In many sports, captains are the only players allowed to talk to the referees. Don’t shout at the officials over calls you think they missed or got wrong. Remember that...

Da tu mejor esfuerzo en todo momento. Demuestra un buen espíritu deportivo. Trata a los oficiales con respeto. Responsabilízate por tus errores.


The most important part of keeping track of your finances is consistency. Regardless of which way you choose to log your transactions, you have to be able to refer back to them easily and reliably. Be sure to include important information like the date, amount spent or gained, and expense category with each entry. Also be sure to make your recording consistent. For example, you can record transactions as soon as they happen, every time you get home, or even once a week. Expense categories are an easy way to figure out what you spend the most money on. These categories may include things like housing, utilities, household expenses, groceries, health care, pets, personal expenses, and entertainment. These categories will of course vary from person to person and you can be as specific or general as you want with your categories. For example, you may simply want to record expenses as either need or wants. The important thing is that your categorizing is consistent between transactions. The absolute simplest way of tracking your finances is to write a record of each transaction in a notebook. By always carrying this notebook, you are able to know exactly where every dollar came from and went. At the end of each period (week or month), you can also transfer the information to a computer spreadsheet so that it is more accessible. You can organize this notebook in several different ways. For simplicity, you may simply choose to use the notebook for spending. Alternately, you can treat it more like a logbook and record both your income and your expenses and how they affect the balance of your checking account. Some people choose to use a notebook to track cash expenses only, combining it with debit and credit card expenses at the end of each month or week. It may be considered old-fashioned, but recording your transactions in a checkbook is still a simple and reliable way of tracking your finances. The recording process involves simply writing down the amount of the transaction, writing a description of the...

The most important part of repairing stainless steel is rubbing in the same direction as the grain. Look very closely at the steel and determine which direction the surface seems to be running in. This is the grain.  Working against the grain can actually make the scratches worse. That’s why it’s so important to know the direction of the grain before you begin. The grain will generally run either from side to side (horizontally), or up and down (vertically). There are a few compounds and cleaners that can be used to fill and smooth very light and minor scratches on the surface of stainless steel. Products you can try include:  Bar Keeper's Friend Perfect-It Rubbing Compound Revere Stainless Steel and Copper Cleaner Whitening toothpaste Some compounds and cleaners come in a powdered form, and these must be made into a paste before you can apply them to the steel. Mix a tablespoon (14 g) of powder with a few drops of water. Stir to combine, and add a few more drops of water until you have a smooth paste. The consistency you're looking for is that of toothpaste. Pour a few drops of cleaner onto a clean microfiber cloth. For the paste, spoon about a quarter of the paste onto a cloth. Working in the same direction as the metal’s grain, rub the compound gently into the scratch. Because the compound isn't abrasive, you can rub back and forth over the scratch. Continue rubbing, adding more compound as needed, until the scratch has been buffed away. Soak a clean microfiber cloth with water. Wring out all the excess so the cloth is barely damp. Wipe the surface of the steel with the cloth to remove excess compound and shine the surface. Wipe the surface with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any leftover dampness. Examine the surface of the stainless steel to assess whether the treatment was effective.  Repeat the buffing process again if the scratch improved but is still slightly visible. If the scratch is still quite visible, you may have to take more drastic steps, such as sanding the entire surface.

The most important thing for a conclusion to accomplish is to remind the listeners of what they should have learned throughout the speech. If the introduction tells the audience what they will learn, and the body tells the audience the content they should be learning, the conclusion should repeat those main ideas one final time.  Use the chance to repeat your thesis a final time, if necessary. What's the one thing you hope someone remembers from your speech? What's the one thing that needs to be learned? In informal speeches, repeating the main points won't be necessary. If you're giving a toast at a wedding, you don't need to run back through a list of the great things about the groom. In some cases, the conclusion might recall the introduction, helping to illustrate that the speech has come full circle. If you used an example or a specific case study reference in your introduction, then you can return to that example in your conclusion. This can be an excellent way of book ending the speech and keeping people interested.  If you started the speech by drawing a sad portrait of a recently returned veteran who couldn't get work, or health insurance, and ended up in dire straits, that can be a heart-breaking intro. Pick back up with the story in conclusion to let you know where that vet is now. Any kind of reference can work. If you started a speech with a quote by Thomas Paine, end with more about Thomas Paine. The bookend technique is an excellent way of signaling the end for the audience. The speech should do a lot to present a case and lots of details to your audience, but the conclusion can be a great opportunity to make those points important. Depending on the nature of your speech, if you've just presented a lot of complex details about climate change, the ending might be an appropriate time to introduce your first case study, or personal example that will help to drive home the facts that you've just presented. Make it real for your audience.  Put a face on things. Case studies and personal examples are...

The most important thing in a new relationship is to prove that the way you were acting before wasn't just an act. You have to be just as mature and respectful. While some of the stress should be gone now that you both know you have feelings for each other, it's not time to start slacking off. Be courteous and patient with her. Never try to get her to do something she isn't comfortable with; it's much better to take it slow and easy. If you show the same maturity throughout, her feelings for you will grow. Now that she's your girlfriend, it will probably come time to have deeper, more intimate conversations. You should be even more interested in what she has to say, now that she's become a significant part of your life. If she's earned your trust, you shouldn't be afraid to tell her secrets. A crucial part of a good relationship is the mutual emotional support, and that can't happen if you're just trying to look cool in front of her. When it comes time to meet her family, make sure you are giving them the same respect you would give her. A girlfriend's family is bound to be very judgemental of a new boyfriend at first, so it's important you prove them wrong. Look them in the eye, smile lots, and let them know they don't have to worry that she'll be spending a lot of time with you. Don't be afraid to introduce her to your family as well! Even if it's coming over for dinner, showing her a different side of your life is important.

The most important thing that you can do to ensure that you enjoy a field trip is to obey the rules. You don’t want to be yelled at or pulled out of the field trip for behaving badly because you may miss out on fun, interesting activities. Your teacher will likely go over the rules before you leave for the trip, but make sure to listen to the guidelines that staff at your destination, such as a museum tour guide, share as well.  Remember that you’re representing your entire school when you’re on a field trip, so it’s important to behave and establish a good reputation for the school. If you and other students break rules and are generally unruly, not only may your school not be invited back to the venue, but your class may not be able to go on any field trips in the future. Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you’re unsure of the rules. You don’t want to accidentally break a rule because you don’t understand what is and is not permitted. Before you arrive at the field trip destination, your teacher has probably given you a background lesson on the subject matter. The venue usually helps bring the lesson to life in a fun, interesting way that it couldn’t in a classroom, though, so it’s important to pay attention to the activities and presentations that occur during the field trip so you really absorb the information.  It’s always exciting to be out of school, but you shouldn’t just use the opportunity to chat with your friends. You’re still supposed to learn something even though you’re out of the classroom. If you have friends who have a habit of distracting you, it’s a good idea to tell them that you really want to pay attention on the trip. You might say, “I really like talking/hanging out with you, but let’s save that for lunch. I really want to pay attention today.” When you hear where you’re going on your field trip, you might write the experience off as boring because it’s tied to a lesson that you’ve learned in school. However, you should go into the trip with an open mind because getting to experience...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sigue las reglas. Presta atención. Mantén una mente abierta. Revisa la hoja de trabajo. Busca un amigo con el cual hacer equipo.


The most important thing to be convincingly naughty with your significant other is to be confident and comfortable with yourself. The first step to being more confident and comfortable is to stop apologizing to everyone. Stop apologizing for not being sexier, stop apologizing for gaining weight, stop apologizing for wanting to have sex. You have desires and needs and feelings, and they are valid. You don't need to look like a movie star or a porn star to be worthy of your partner or for them to think you're sexy. They chose you. They're with you. They think you're sexy. Besides, sexy is mostly about how you act, not how you look. You are a sexual creature. That is normal and, really, a great thing. If you're spending a bunch of time being too embarrassed about sex to really enjoy it, then you're not going to be very good at this naughty thing. Be sexual. Be okay with being sexual. This is very important. Comfortable with that sexual side now? Good. Now experiment, either solo or with a partner, and explore your body. Figure out what really brings you pleasure. Find your "on" button. You'd think that being naughty is all about pleasuring your partner, but it's also about telling your partner (in a very naughty manner) exactly how to pleasure you.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Deja de disculparte. Deja de querer lucir como una estrella de cine. Acepta tu lado sexual. Identifica las cosas que te causan placer.


The most important thing to consider when picking a song is to choose something you connect with. If you don’t care about the song you’re singing, your audience won’t care either and your audition will be lackluster. Choose something that is emotionally resonant with you and you won’t be able to stop your own emotion from leaking out when you perform it.  "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt is a great option if you're looking for an emotional ballad. Also try, "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban or "I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders. Part of the charm of American Idol is the people watching at home get to root for their favorite singers. If you want them to root for you, you need to help them connect with you. The easiest way to do this is to pick a song that people know and love. It doesn’t have to be the most popular song, but it shouldn’t be something that people have never heard before.  You also want to shy away from picking something that is too popular as far as auditions go. If ten people have already sung a song in the auditions before, people who watch the show repeatedly will remember that and compare you to them. Google around to see if your song has been sung on the show before. Great options for this are “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz or “Imagine” by John Lennon. It’s fine to want to challenge yourself, but choosing a song in a weird genre can only set you up for failure. You’ll be competing against people who have been singing in that genre for their entire lives, plus, you won’t be showcasing who you really are. If you’re a pop singer, stick with pop. If you’re really good at R&B, do that. Focus on what you can do, not what you should do.  For great R&B songs, try “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder or “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green. For a great pop option, try “I Believe I Can Fly” by R. Kelly.  For a good country song, consider something from past winner Carrie Underwood’s catalog, or Garth Brooks if you’re going for a slightly different vibe.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige una canción que signifique algo para ti. Elige algo que las personas conozcan. Evita elegir una canción de un género con el que no estés familiarizado.


The most important thing to do to change someone’s behavior is to talk about it. Make plans to talk to your friend, and make sure the setting is private and quiet. Your friend may be upset with you when you say how you feel, so a public place may not be the best idea.  Ensure that you have enough time for an in-depth conversation where you can get all of  your thoughts out. An hour-long block should be enough. Choose a private place, such as a quiet park or one of your homes. Avoid restaurants, shops or bars. It may be hard to talk about personal issues with so many people around. Also, a poor reaction from your friend may create an embarrassing situation. Stay respectful and positive, and let your friend know that your relationship is alright but needs some work. You'll want to be direct and explain the issues as clearly as possible. Don't use negative language like "I'm sick of your selfishness," or "I hate how many favors you ask of me."  For a friend who asks too many favors, say: “It really bothers me that you expect so much of me, but you don’t give much in return. ” If they talk about themselves too much, try: "You spend a lot of time talking about your feelings, but you never have much time to listen to me talk." If they always ask for help dealing with drama, say: "I know you've had some drama lately, but it's difficult for me to keep helping you. You're a great friend, but I feel like I'm doing too much work." Selfish people spend most of their time thinking about themselves, and hardly the feelings of others. If you speak directly about how their selfishness makes you feel, it will be a chance to get through to them about their negative behavior.  If they often ask for money, talk about how this makes you feel. For example, it might make you feel as if they only want you for your money, not your friendship. For a friend that constantly complains but has no time for your problems, talk about how you feel less important in the relationship. Some friends may spend time at your house and make messes....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dedica un tiempo para hablar. Dile a tu amigo con exactitud lo que te molesta. Enfócate en tus sentimientos. Escucha lo que diga tu amigo. Haz que tu amigo acepte mejorar su conducta.


The most important thing to do when you suspect that you are having a heart attack is to call emergency medical services.  Always call 9-1-1 before you attempt to contact anyone else. This will almost always be the quickest way to get treatment, and even if you live in an area that an ambulance may have a hard time getting to, the 9-1-1 dispatcher can provide you with instructions on how to minimize the damage. Emergency help can begin treatment as soon as they arrive, which is another reason why this is a better option than calling a friend or relative for help. If you have a trustworthy neighbor or relative who lives nearby, make another phone call asking that person to come meet you. Having another person nearby can be helpful if you suddenly go into cardiac arrest.  You should only do this if the 9-1-1 dispatcher gives you permission to get off the phone or if you have a second line you can call on while the dispatcher stays on the first line. Do not rely on another person to get you to the hospital unless instructed to do so by the 9-1-1 dispatcher. Wait for emergency paramedics to show up. Chew and swallow a single 325-mg non-enteric coated aspirin tablet. This is especially effective if done within 30 minutes of your first symptoms.  Aspirin inhibits platelets, which are a key component in the formation of blood clots. Taking aspirin can delay the formation of blood clots that could further block your arteries during a heart attack.  Do not use enteric coated tablets since these will release too slowly to be of much use.  Chew the aspirin before swallowing it. By chewing the aspirin, you release more of the medicine directly into your stomach and hasten its ability to get into your blood stream. If you are on a medication that interacts poorly with aspirin or have otherwise been told by your doctor not to take aspirin, do not use this treatment. Driving yourself to the hospital is not recommended, and if you begin to experience heart attack symptom while you are behind the wheel, you should immediately...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Llama a emergencias inmediatamente. Considera contactar a alguien para que vaya inmediatamente. Mastica aspirina. No Mantente calmado. Recuéstate. Toma respiraciones profundas y estables. No Evita comer o beber.


The most important thing to look for in your popper is a unit that feeds in hot air from vents in the side of the popping chamber, as opposed to a grate in the bottom.  (One with the single grate in the bottom does not force enough air to keep the coffee from burning and would be a major fire hazard). With this in mind, take a look around the marketplace and see what’s around.  Brands of poppers to look for are 1) Proctor-Silex Popcorn Pumper and Poppery II by West Bend. The plastic lid that comes with the unit may be unsuitable for its new role - it might melt, so throw it away. Extend the chamber to roast larger batches. Glue an extension made from a food tin to the top of the unit using epoxy resin.  (See Tips for alternate method.) Make a simple lid from a kitchen sieve and a flat panel with holes in it (such as pieces of meccano) to collect the chaff. You need raw green coffee beans to roast. Luckily there are a lot of places you can get these from. Search the Internet and shop around.  Three of many sources are Gen-X Coffee, U-Roast-Em, and Sweet Maria's.  (You can insure the future of coffee growers by buying only those beans from sites that support Fair Trade practices). While the wafting coffee aroma can be wonderful in small doses, filling the house will soon affect furniture and carpets causing them to emit an unpleasant odor.  Ideally, roasting can be done outside.

The most important thing to remember about having a conversation is that it goes both ways. Listen and show compassion to others. If people think they can talk to you about anything, they’ll invite you to hang out more often. Don’t monopolize the conversation. If you ignore people or always talk about yourself, they won’t invite you anymore.  Ask questions. This is a good way to keep a conversation going. It also shows the other person, that you are trying to understand their story or problem. Offer advice if needed or wanted. Some people just want someone to listen to them. They need to get a load off of their chest. Be the person that listens. Give advice based on personal experience. Focus on the positive aspects of your life, what you are looking forward to, or what you want to do. We all know that misery loves company, but if you are miserable all the time, others won’t want to hang out with you.  If you catch yourself saying something negative, try to counter your comment with two positive comments. Try to cheer up the people around you. It will show them that you are compassionate and will generally leave them with the impression that you are a good, fun person. Being positive is a goal as much as it’s an instruction here. Trying to be positive can have an effect on your own mood and quality of life. If you’ve had a terrible day, you can talk about it with people around you, but don’t dwell. Be positive that things will improve. Being positive helps to reduce stress, depression, and even blood pressure. Your body needs to match your persona. You can pretend to be cool, say interesting things, and be confident, but if you body screams the opposite, people won’t want to hang out with you.  Open your stance up. Don’t close yourself off by crossing your arms or hunching over. You want your body to tell people that you welcome their approach. Lean forward. Psychologists explain that leaning forward during a conversation indicates interest. People will think you are more fun to hang out with if you show...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Muestra interés. Sé positivo. Ten un lenguaje corporal positivo. Cuenta chistes. Sonríe y ríe.


The most important thing when growing gerbera daisies in pots is to choose a container with lots of drainage holes. Choose the smallest pot possible so you can easily move the plant outside as the weather allows. Growing gerbera daisies in pots is ideal if you:  Live in a cooler climate with cold fall and winter months Live in a rainy climate where the plant will get too much water in the garden Live in a climate where the relative humidity is often over 65 percent Have high-clay soil that doesn’t drain well The ideal soil for gerbera daisies is a well-draining and fertile soil, such as a potting mix with lots of peat, perlite, or vermiculite mixed in. Fill the container and then moisten the soil with water using a mister. If you're moving the plant from the garden to a container to overwinter it, use a spade to gently dig the soil around the roots to loosen them from the ground. When the root have been loosened, hold the plant by the base of the grow and gently lift it from the soil. Use a spade to dig a hole in the soil. The hole should be just large enough to accommodate the root ball. Transplant the daisy from the garden or the seed tray (if you're moving seedlings directly into pots) to the container and cover the roots with soil. Use your hands to gently pack the soil around the roots. Gerbera daisies like soil that’s evenly moist but never soggy or wet. A good test is to stick your finger 1 inch (2.5 cm) into the soil. If the soil feels dry, water the plant thoroughly. Otherwise, leave it for another day or two. Gerbera daisies tend to need less water during the winter months, but never let the soil dry out completely. The ideal temperature for gerbera daisies is around 70 °F (21 °C), so you don’t want them in direct afternoon sun. To provide them with enough light, find a window that gets lots of direct morning sun, but that’s shaded in the afternoon and only gets indirect light later in the day. In the warmer months during spring and summer, you can leave the potted gerbera daisy outside in an area...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige una maceta con buen drenaje. Llena la maceta con una mezcla para macetas ligera. Desentierra las margaritas del jardín. Planta la margarita en la maceta. Riégala cada 3 a 5 días. Coloca la maceta donde reciba sol matutino. Fertiliza la planta una vez al mes durante los periodos vegetativos. Quita las flores viejas.


The most important thing you can do is to remain calm, and stay in control of the situation. Sometimes there is nothing that you can do, and that's fine. Don't be worried about admitting that there's nothing you can do to help.  If there are others on the scene who may be upset or fearful, reassure them. Employ them in going to get help. It's better to remain with someone in a supportive way than to do an action that may result in additional damage. If you're not sure what to do, simply stay with the person. If possible, take their pulse, make notes of events as they happen, and ask them about their medical history. This is information you may need when talking to the emergency team. Being in an emergency situation can result in panicked thinking and actions. Instead of reacting to a situation, take time to calm down. Breathe deeply before you take any action.  Things change suddenly in emergency situations. Don't panic if things suddenly go in a different direction than you'd expected. Take time to pause whenever you're overwhelmed, panicky or confused. If you need to stop in the middle of taking an action to calm down, that's okay. A first aid kit should have constructive tools for taking care of many medical emergencies. Any first aid kit should contain bandages, gauze, adhesive tape, disinfectant, and other useful items.  If you can't retrieve the first aid kit, consider what other items in your immediate vicinity might be good substitutes. You should keep a first aid kit at your home, and your workplace is required by law to maintain a first aid kit. A good first aid kit should also have a "space blanket" which is a light-weight piece of special material meant to conserve body heat. This is a vital piece of equipment for people who are chilled or shaking, as it can help keep them from going into shock. It's important to discern the mental state of the victim in order to better understand the person's injuries. If the person appears confused by the question, or provides the wrong answer, this may suggest...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Observa si puedes hacer algo para ayudar. Dedica un tiempo a reflexionar antes de actuar. Consigue el botiquín de primeros auxilios. Haz preguntas básicas sobre la persona lesionada. No muevas a una persona lesionada. Solo usa el teléfono para pedir ayuda.


The most likely culprit of uncleanliness in your hamster’s cage – and the location where more mites are likely living – is the old bedding.  When setting out to clean the cage, your first step should be removing all of the bedding and disposing of it in an outdoor trash receptacle. Take everything out of the cage and take it all apart.  Remove the lid, any feeding dishes or water bottles, and all toys, tubes, ladders, or other furnishings. Anything plastic or metal should be washed with antibacterial soap and warm water, and then thoroughly rinsed and allowed to fully dry.  Opt for an unscented antibacterial soap, as aromas are likely to persist and bother your hamster. Wash any food or water equipment in the same way. Be sure to rinse food and water equipment an extra time; you do not want soap residue getting into anything your hamster will consume. Be diligent in cleaning every single spot in the cage. For instance, your hamster likely urinates and defecates in a particular location.  Pay extra attention when cleaning this area.  Wash everything with antibacterial soap and warm water, then rinse it and allow it to fully dry.  Ensure the cage does not still smell of soap, and rinse it again if necessary. Following a mite infestation, you’ll need a second cleaning to disinfect all of the surfaces of your hamster’s dwelling. Rub rubbing alcohol on any surface of the cage or plastic or metal climbing structures, and dry the surfaces with a clean paper towel. Take care to avoid applying rubbing alcohol to any food or water equipment. You should replace anything you were unable to clean.  Wooden toys in particular should be replaced frequently.  Further, make sure a water bottle is not leaking after it is re-installed.  Finally, make sure all the fastening components of the cage and any structures are also secure. Mites can be prevented from returning by maintaining a clean living environment for your hamster that will prevent your hamster from becoming stressed.  Relatedly, be sure you are providing ample high...

The most obvious difference between the two is that an active DI requires a power supply for you to operate, while passive DIs do not. Beyond that, due to differences in design, each of these has strong suits that should be taken into consideration. For example, the transformers used in passive DIs are more resistant to the hum created by ground loops, making these ideal for on-stage performing. Additionally:   Active DIs are generally better suited to passive instruments, including:  Electric guitars Passive basses Vintage Rhodes pianos     Passive DIs are generally better suited to active instruments, like:  Active basses Keyboards Electronic percussion There are many options of DI available, some packaged with features that you might find useful. Amp simulators, for example, can be layered on top of your DI recording. This will give your recording a sound more like what you'd hear produced from an amp.  Though the use of a DI can be relatively cheap, quiet, and space efficient, most audio experts agree that even masterful DI recordings miss a quality captured through miking an amp.  The price range for DIs varies considerably, with lower end models costing as little as $40 and high end models costing over $1,000.  Some audio experts recommend investing $1 in a DI for ever $5 you spend on your instrument. You should always follow the directions that came with your DI, but generally, you should be able to hook it up by connecting your guitar with a ¼" output cable. Then you will need to connect your DI output, which will likely be an XLR connection, to your mixing console/audio interface/computer. Due to the fact that the signal being transmitted from your DI to your mixing console is normalized to the microphone level, you'll need to connect the DI output to your mixing console's mic input. Set your DAW/audio interface to "Record" and play your music. When you have finished, stop recording and listen to what you have played on headphones. Keep in mind, your DI will only have captured the sound of your...

The most obvious symptom of a heart attack is chest ache/pain or "discomfort", but there are numerous, typical symptoms you should be aware of, too.  Chest discomfort usually occurs in the center of the chest, including: Heaviness, tightness, pressure, aching, burning, numbness, fullness, or squeezing, and the pain can either last for several minutes, go away and come back repeatedly. Don't overlook or ignore symptoms such as:   Unexplained pains in the torso/the upper body, including the arms, left shoulder, back, neck, jaw, or stomach. Difficulty breathing/feeling out of breath Sweating or "cold" sweating A feeling of fullness, indigestion, or choking Nausea or vomiting Light-headedness, dizziness, feeling you may faint Unexplained tiredness, weakness, extreme weakness (like you can't do easy tasks), or extreme anxiety reacting to symptoms Rapid (racing heart/tachycardia) or irregular heartbeats women's symptoms can differ somewhat. Even though women frequently experience the usual chest pains and other common symptoms of heart attack, they are also likely to experience uncommon symptoms, as well.   These additional symptoms can include:  Pain that spreads down the left arm Unusual fatigue for multiple days Difficulty sleeping, Feeling heart palpitations   Women may have at least one common or uncommon symptom, repeatedly, for more than one month prior to their heart attack. Up to 78 percent of female heart attack patients experienced such warnings. People often expect heart attacks to be dramatic and instantaneous, but the truth is that many heart attacks are mild and can continue for an hour or longer. Mild heart attacks can be just as serious, though, so if you experience any of the symptoms described here for 5 minutes or longer, you should begin taking steps to ensure your survival.  You should get treatment for your heart attack within the first hour of your initial symptoms. If you wait longer than that, your heart will have more difficulty repairing the damage/cell death in muscles of the heart. The...

The most obvious way to soothe a burnt tongue is to counteract the heat with something cold. Try sucking on an ice cube or licking an ice pop—even drinking a cold drink will help. Yogurt is one of the best remedies for a burnt tongue, as it is extremely cooling and soothing.  Eat a spoonful immediately after burning your tongue and let it sit on your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing. Natural Greek yogurt is recommended, but any kind of yogurt will do. You could also try drinking a glass of cold milk. One unique home remedy for a burnt tongue is to sprinkle a pinch of white sugar onto the burnt area and let it dissolve. Let it sit in the mouth for at least a minute for the pain to go away. Any pain should quickly subside. Saltwater can relieve the burn while preventing an infection at the same time. Mix one teaspoon of salt with a cup of water. Take a big sip of the water, and swish it around in your mouth. Hold the saltwater in your mouth for between one and two minutes before spitting it out in a sink. Vitamin E oil will help to soothe a burnt tongue and will also speed up the healing process by helping the tongue tissue to regenerate. Simply open a 1,000 IU vitamin E capsule and spread the oil on the burnt part of your tongue. It may sound pretty basic, but simply breathing through your mouth (instead of your nose) can help to soothe a burnt tongue, due to the cold air that rushes over your tongue when you inhale. Until healing occurs, stay away from acidic foods like tomatoes, citrus fruits and juices and vinegar.  If you really want to, water down orange juice so it is very weak but cold and that will soothe the area for the time you drink it. You should also avoid salty foods like potato chips, or spicy foods, like hot sauce, since these items will irritate the area. The aloe vera plant is a popular natural remedy for soothing and healing burns. Apply a little aloe vera gel (straight from the plant, not from creams or store-bought gels) directly onto the burnt area of the tongue. Be...
