Flashbacks are the trademark symptom of HPPD. You may notice that you continue to have flashbacks beyond the few days after drug use. You may also experience persistent changes in your perception after taking hallucinogenic drugs. If you have perception changes, you may see:  Geometric shapes Objects in your peripheral vision (along the sides or edges of sight) Colored flashes Enhanced color intensity Trailing and strobe-like moving objects After images or impressions Halos Objects that appear small or large Changes in perception can be annoying or even frightening, but they aren't necessarily a sign of any serious physical damage that is life threatening. Any alterations in brain chemistry are related to how you see things, not how your body generally functions. These alterations are also distinctly different from hallucinations since they're clearly not associated with what's happening in the present moment. Changes in perception shouldn't be confused with reality. Any serious health consequences of HPPD aren't caused by brain damage from whatever drug was used. Instead, health problems typically come from sustained depression or anxiety associated with the persistent flashbacks. You may feel depersonalized, or drastically disconnected from your body. For example, you may feel as though you're watching yourself from an outside perspective or from outside your body. This feeling of disconnect can also be accompanied by a sense that you're in a dreamlike state or that the world isn't a real place. Like other HPPD symptoms, this can be frightening and last for an unknown period of time. But, it's not necessarily a sign of serious physical damage that needs immediate treatment. Sometimes people who use hallucinogenic drugs notice visual disturbances in the weeks after use, while sometimes they last for years. Since this varies by individual, there’s really no clear way of knowing how long your visual disturbances will last. You most likely won't need to treat HPPD as if it was a serious health condition. But,...

Flashcards aren’t textbooks. You don’t want to overload them with paragraphs of information. When you look at a flashcard, you  should be able to absorb the information in a quick glance.  Flashcards are most effective if used for learning dates, vocabulary, historical events, scientific terms, processes, equations, and information that’s easy to memorize. Don’t use flashcards for in depth analysis. If you’re studying WWII, for example, don’t try to use your tiniest handwriting to fill a whole card with an analysis on the events that caused the war. Instead, try breaking the information into smaller chunks on various cards with factual information such as:  “In what year did World War II begin?” on one side, and “1937” on the other side. There’s only so much information your brain can absorb at once. To better retain information, only put one term on each card. For instance, if you’re learning French, instead of putting “Hello, goodbye, and good evening” on the front side of one card and “bonjour, au revoir, and bonsoir” on the other, break these up into three separate cards with “hello,” “goodbye,” and “good evening” on one side, and “bonjour,” “au revoir,” and “bonsoir” on the other. Studies show that the most effective way to use flashcards is to make both sides of the card a potential starting point. This means that instead of having one side of a card be a question and the other the answer, you will need to make both sides of the card have unique information. For example, say you’re trying to quiz yourself on the end of WWII. Instead of writing a card that has the question on one side: “What treaty signified the end of WWII?” and then “The Paris Peace Treaties” on the other, try rewording to “In 1947, this treaty caused the end of WWII” and then “The Paris Peace Treaties” on the other side. This way, even if you get the side with more information, you can fill in the “this treaty” with the correct information. Studies show that adding pictures to your flashcards will make them more memorable. It only...

Flat objects, such as wooden plaques, work the best. You can also paint curved surfaces, such as terra cotta flower pots. If you want to make a magnetic chalkboard, try a sheet of galvanized steel, but make sure that it is magnetic first. Avoid surfaces with lots of carved details, as they will be difficult to write on later. This paint will give you a smooth, matte surface that you can write on, just like a real chalkboard. It is not the same as regular chalk paint, which will only give you a chalky texture. You can apply chalkboard paint busing a foam paintbrush for small surfaces, or you can apply it using a paint roller for large surfaces. If you are using a foam brush, leave the paint in its can or bucket. If you are using a roller, pour the paint into a paint tray. Small surfaces include plaques, mason jars, and tags. Large surfaces include walls, bulletin boards, and headboards.

Flax seed gives your boring bowl a fresh, nutty flavor. Try adding some fresh berries in to complement the added flavor of the flax seed. Add whole seeds for a nice texture that boosts the health value of your creamy snack. Simply pick your favorite muffin or bread recipe and add about 1/4-cup of flax seed per batch. The final product will gain a nice crunch and an interesting texture.  You can also use ground flax seed and water as a replacement for eggs. For one egg, the ratio is one tablespoon of flax seed to three tablespoons of water. Fruit smoothies are nicely complemented by the addition of nutty flax seed. Boost the fiber power in your smoothie by adding about one tablespoon per serving. Add flax seed to your french toast dip and allow the flax to coat the bread before pan frying it. Not only does the flax add a nice crunch, but the flavor goes perfectly with a traditional french toast recipe. You can use either whole flax seeds or ground flax. Add flax seed to your favorite trail mix cookies. Cookies with dried fruit, nuts, oats, and other chunky ingredients are nicely complimented by flax seed.

Flea bombs come in a variety of sizes depending on the brand and chemicals they contain. In general you will need 1 bomb per room you are treating; however in some cases, 1 bomb in a hallway adjacent to open doors can treat multiple rooms. Read the label carefully to determine the size of the area the product treats. Ask your veterinarian for his or her advice on which products they recommend. Check with friends and family for their opinions on the effectiveness of a flea bomb they might have used, or check online for feedback and reviews. Ask sales associates at your local home improvement or hardware store for any information they may have concerning flea bombs, but always back up what you're told by a retailer with your own quality research. Most flea bombs operate in similar ways. Ensure that you have read the directions carefully and fully prior to setting off the flea bomb in your home. The chemicals in the flea bomb are poisons which can easily cause illness to people and pets. Check the label on your flea bomb to ensure that your family is safe and can stay out of the house for the label's recommended time period. Open all doors to infested rooms so the chemicals from the flea bomb can kill the fleas. Open cabinet doors and drawers to kill fleas inside furniture. Remove such items from open cabinet doors or drawers to keep them away from the spray. Storing items away from the chemicals is much easier than cleaning them when the flea bomb is finished. The chemicals from the flea bomb can soil furniture, tables and countertops or damage electronic equipment. Cover these items with sheets or plastic tarps to prevent damage. Old sheets can be found easily at your local thrift store. Plastic painting tarps are available from hardware and auto stores. Chemicals in a flea bomb are dangerous to fish. If you can't move your fish tank to another location, cover it up well and seal it tightly with plastic wrap. The chemicals and propellants in a flea bomb can be flammable. Turn off the heater or air conditioner...

Flesh-scrapers and stretching boards are about as primitive a tool as you can get, but it's still the most effective way for getting the flesh, cartilage, and fatty bits off of the pelt so that it can dry thoroughly.  A flesh scraper is basically what it sounds like: a short and sharp blade that's used to scrape the flesh away. In a pinch, you could use a big kitchen knife that's somewhat dull, but it might be a little more difficult than with a scraper. Hog scrapers, single and double-handed scrapers are all common. Metal and wooden boards are both commonly used for the job. If you use a wooden stretching board, you'll also need staples or push-pins to secure the pelt when you're ready to stretch it for drying. Wooden stretching boards can double as "fleshing boards," providing a nice surface to scrape the pelt on. If you have a metal stretcher, you'll just need to use a bench, table, or other flat surface on which to scrape the pelt. It's usually recommended to let the fur alone to firm up the fat some in a cool environment (about 55 degrees F, or 13 C). This will help to make the scraping job a lot easier. You can flatten out the pelt onto the board, fur side down, to let it dry for several hours before you get started scraping. When you start, the whole process of scraping itself shouldn't take more than 15 or 30 minutes. Using firm pressure, carefully scrape the fat and connective tissue away from the skin using the scraper. There's not much of a secret or a science to it–you're basically just scraping. Be gentle to avoid tearing through the skin, but be firm enough and even enough to get everything off. The tail is usually the most challenging part, so most trappers will start there, spending the most time making sure that every bit of fat is evenly scraped away. After removing the fat from the tail, scrape directly up the middle of the pelt, in a stripe. Go all the way up until you've scraped everything off a narrow strip up the middle of the pelt, and the head of the pelt. Then go back and scrape...

Flexibility in these joints is crucial for your back handstand. You can do these stretches every day, and always do them before practicing your handstand.  To stretch your wrists, sit on the floor and place your palm flat on the ground at a 90-degree angle to your arms. Gently bend your elbows and feel the stretch through your inner wrist. Then cross your arms in front of you, putting your hands on the ground with your fingertips pointing towards each other. To stretch your ankles, make several circles with your foot (moving from the ankle joint) clockwise and counterclockwise. If you like, you can sit on the ground and do this – extend one leg in front of you, cross the other over it and hold your foot in your hand to gently increase the intensity of the stretch. The bridge is a fundamental pose for practicing handstands. Not only does it help stretch out your shoulders, it is also your beginning pose for the back handstand.  Lay down on your back with your feet flat on the floor, knees bent. Your feet should be touching your bottom. Place your hands on the ground next to your ears, fingers pointing towards your shoulders. Raise your hips into the air as high as you can, extending your elbows as much as possible. Let your head hang down so your neck is relaxed. Push your weight onto your hands so that your shoulders are over your hands in a vertical line. Walk your feet out in front of you so your legs are straight, keeping them parallel. Rock the bridge back and forth. Bend your knees, shifting the weight onto your feet, then back onto your hands by straightening your legs. This helps to stretch out your shoulders. Come out of the bridge by bending your elbows and knees, gentling lowering your back to the floor. To execute a perfect back handstand, you need strong central muscles. These include your abdomen, pelvis, lower back and hips. The bridge is an excellent exercise for this, so practice every day. In addition, many basic exercises involve core strength, such as weight-lifting, sit-ups and push-ups....

Flies are very hard to catch with a regular flyswatter, but you can easily trap them with a vacuum. Put a hose attachment on your vacuum, point it at a fly, and watch it get sucked up. It's simple to use and stops you from having to run around all day trying to swat these quick pests. If you don't have a good vacuum, you could also get an electrified fly swatter. It is way more effective than a regular one and works outdoors as well. Once you get close to a fly, the electricity stuns it so you can get rid of it. Choose a shallow container with a wide opening, such as a small saucer or glass, so that those nasty flies go straight for the bait. Pour in at least 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of apple cider vinegar, then add about 3 drops of any liquid dish detergent. The soap breaks the surface tension so the flies can't get out once they fall in. The vinegar is the bait, and the apple cider scent attracts plenty of flies. If you don't have apple cider vinegar handy, make sure you have a fruit-flavored dish soap. Replace the vinegar with an equal amount of water. House flies and fruit flies can't resist a sweet treat. After adding at least 1⁄3  c (79 mL) of water into a mason jar or a tall glass, mix in 1 US tsp, or about 4 g, of sugar. Set a plastic funnel on top of the jar. Then, watch as your unwanted house guests crawl in without being able to get out.  Sugary foods and drinks make for great bait if you don't have sugar. Try using honey, wine, or even some decaying fruit. You could also add yeast to help bring in the flies. To make your own funnel, cut a piece of paper into a circle, then cut a wedge out of one side. Fold the cut ends together to create a cone with about a 0.39 in (0.99 cm) bottom opening. Tape the ends together to hold the cone in place. Another way to make a cone is by cutting a soda bottle in half. Put the bait in the bottom portion. Remove the cap from the top portion, turn it upside down, and insert it into the bottom portion. Flypaper comes in strips you hang from exposed areas where flies land,...

Flies, along with many other bugs, can't stand the heat and will avoid spices. Add 1 cup (240 mL) of water to a misting bottle, then mix about 1 US tsp, or about 1.80 g, of cayenne pepper into it. Add the water to areas like doorways and window sills to keep your home free of pesky invaders.  You could chop or grind up fresh cayenne or use dried powder to make the repellant. Dried cayenne is stronger and more effective, but it loses potency faster. Spray more of the repellant when you can no longer smell it in the air. Ginger is another strong spice that repels flies. Use it when you don't have any cayenne powder lying around. scented plants like basil near openings to your home. For a natural way to drive away flies that you can also use in your cooking, look no further than scented plants. Herbs like lavender, lemongrass, and mint are only a few of the options available. Set up your new garden near places where flies tend to gather, such as near doors, windows, fruit gardens, and areas with standing water. Also, keep them around areas you go to when you're enjoying the weather.  To plant herbs, use neutral soil or potting soil. You could keep the herbs in small growing boxes, pots, or in the ground. Make sure the soil is well-drained and receives about 6 hours of sunlight each day. These plants are non-toxic, so you don't have to worry about planting them. You could even keep small boxes of herbs on your window sills to deter flies. Purchase some small sachets, or perfume bags, then fill them with your favorite herb. Clove is a good choice, but alternatives like basil and lemongrass work just as well. Then, set the sack in an area you wish to protect, like your snack cabinet. It works best in enclosed areas without a breeze to weaken the scent. Replace the herbs as they start to lose potency. When you no longer smell the herbs, throw them away and refill the bags.

Flight crews and most other airline employees receive free flight benefits. The perks range depending on the airline. Some airlines give two free flight tickets for their employees each year, and other airlines give discounted tickets that can be as much as a 90% reduction off the full ticket price.  Southwest airline allows employees, spouses, eligible dependent children, and parents to fly on Southwest planes for free. American Airlines allow all of their employees to travel for free in coach class. Some airlines will offer their employees flight vouchers for family and friends. In recent years, airlines have tightened their policies on these types of vouchers, but they are still out there.   Southwest Airlines has a guest pass program that gives unregistered friends and family members of employees a chance to fly for free. American Airlines has a program that allows employees to register family members who can then fly for free. Some airline companies give their employees buddy passes to hand out to family and friends. However, the passes are only good as standby tickets. This means that you can only fly if there is an empty seat on the plane.  Delta offers buddy passes to their employees.  When using a buddy pass, you are seen as a representative of the airline. You are required to have a relaxed dress code, and maintain professional behavior.  Be prepared for the flight you want to take to be full. You may have to wait for several flights before you find one that has room for you. It is best not to check any luggage when flying standby because you don't know which flight out you will take. Fly during slower times to increase your chances of making it on the plane.

Flint will likely appear black or dark gray. This is the only physical difference between flint and chert. Chert doesn't have a particular identifying color, but it usually appears in a combination of a few different shades depending on the other minerals that are present. Shades of maroon, tan, yellow, white or occasionally a deep blue are all common among types of chert. Sometimes these colors may form bands along the surface.  Other types of quartz to learn to identify that can also be used in place of flint could be carnelian, agate, bloodstone, jade and chalcedony.  Surrounding rocks can impact the appearance of flints. When flints are buried in chalk, a white patina or film can form over the flint. Flint can be found in natural occurring nodules or as a fragment that has been worked into a shape.  Flint nodules can appear in various smooth, rounded shapes embedded in chalk or limestone. When you find flint that has been embedded in a chalk bed, it is common to find an imprint of shells cast into the surface.  Look for rocks that have been split like broken glass. Flint fractures differently from many crystals. When the pieces come apart the tend to look like glass shards, with curves and sharper edges.  In addition to looking for natural nodules of flint, be sure to look for flint that has been worked into a shape. You can control the way flint splits easier than other rocks, which is another reason why people used to used flint to shape tools and weapons. Sometimes flint may have edges that seem to have been chipped away or have a point, indicating they have been used as a tool. Flint often displays a natural, glassy luster. If it was just broken, the luster may seem dull and somewhat waxy to the touch. You can usually rub away or sand this cortex to reveal more of the surface luster. If you have a glass bottle, try to scratch it with the sharp edge of the flint. If the rock is strong enough to scratch glass, it is as hard as flint. Be careful when striking glass with a rock.

Flip the card over to the side with the black strip and read the fine print on the back of the card. It will usually have directions to find your balance and will sometimes list a website that you can visit to determine your balance. Beware of scam sites that aren't affiliated with the gift card company. Only use websites linked from the company's official site, or the website printed on the back of the card. Once you visit the website found on the back of the card, it will have fields for information pertaining to your card. This will usually include your card number and another numeric code like the expiration date or access code. Sometimes you may have to peel off a piece of tape to reveal the card numbers on the back of the card. Once you submit the information you should be forwarded to a page that lists the balance on your gift card. If it doesn't work, go back to the last page and enter the card details again. Double-check them to make sure that they are correct before you submit them. If the information still doesn't work your card could be expired or there could be a technical problem. In this case, call the company or go to a physical location. If you can't find a website on the back of the card, there may be no way to check your balance online. If this is the case, you'll have to use another method to check the balance on your gift card.

Floating is a life-saving technique that will help you catch your breath. When you’re swimming in deep water, you won’t always have the opportunity to stand up or grab on to something to take a break. Furthermore, the dog paddle is a great swimming technique for beginners but it can tire a swimmer out easily. Learn to float to reduce the risk of drowning. Practice floating in the shallow end of the pool. If you have trouble staying above the water you can stand up to catch your breath. It’s hard to float when your muscles are tensed up. Turn on your back in the water and stretch your arms and legs out, flattening your body. Relax your neck and let your head dip into the water. However, make sure that your face doesn’t become submerged.  If you’re worried about getting water in your ear, wear a swimmer cap while swimming. If you’re having trouble relaxing try closing your eyes while you float. First, breathe deeply. Filling your lungs with air will help you float above the water. If your legs are sinking too much, stretch your arms out behind your head, keeping them in the water. If you’re still having trouble keeping your legs afloat, kick your legs slightly.  If you’re having trouble breathing when you exhale, kick your legs slightly. This will help you stay afloat until you draw your next breath. Try to avoid using your hands to paddle. Instead, spread your hands and let your arms float. Most people prefer to float on their backs so that they can breathe while they float. However, if you’d like to float face down, the technique is very similar. Take a deep breath and hold it. Submerge your face in the water and stretch your arms and legs out like a starfish. When you need to breathe again, either stop floating or gently turn onto your back to take a breath.  Push your chest into the water to help keep your legs afloat. Kick your feet gently if you’re having trouble floating.

Aprende a flotar. Relaja tu cuerpo. Mejora tu capacidad para flotar. Flota boca abajo.


Floors that get a lot of use, such as a kitchen floor, will need to be swept every 1-2 days to be kept clean. Keep in mind that darker colored flooring will take a bit longer to start looking dirty than lighter flooring. Lower traffic areas will need to be swept around twice a week. Pick the corner that is the longest distance from the exit, and plan how to work your way around any furniture to reach the exit. Start by sweeping that corner, and then move outwards, finishing the room by the doorway. Divide the room up into 4 sections, and sweep each using short and deliberate strokes. Keep the pile of swept dirt in each section, creating a new dirt pile in each section. Don’t move the dirt pile around, as this will make the floor dirtier. Sweep up the dirt pile from each section once you have finished sweeping the room. If the dustpan leaves behind a small line of dirt, use a damp paper towel to wipe it up. A clean broom is key to making sure that it will actually clean the floor, rather than add more dirt to it. The bristles should all be facing in one direction. If the broom bristles are askew, invest in a new one. Fill up a sink with hot, soapy water and give it a scrub. Make sure that you use a sink strainer so that the dirt doesn’t block up the drain.

Floorstanding speakers are designed to be placed near the front of a room, but if you want to disguise them, try moving them towards the corners of the room instead. You might sacrifice a little acoustic quality, but your speakers will be less visible. Painting your speaker box won’t hide the speaker fronts, but it can help the speakers look like they belong as part of the room. Keep in mind that heavy paints can change the acoustics of your speaker, so stick to a light stain or  use spraypaint. If you can, disassemble your speaker before you paint it. Carefully remove the cones, wiring, and other components, then replace them once the paint is completely dry. Placing your floorstanding speakers in large cabinets can completely hide them from sight, but make sure the cabinets have a mesh or lattice-work front so the sound waves will still be able to escape. If you’re handy with carpentry, try installing your speakers into the wall. Locate the best acoustic spot for your speakers, then cut a hole in your wall where you want the speaker to go. Place the speaker in the hole so it’s slightly inset and cover the opening with mesh or lattice-work. If you're shopping for new speakers, look for one that will naturally coordinate with your home. For instance, if you have hardwood floors, you could look for a speaker with a case made from the same wood as your flooring. Placing a speaker inside of a cabinet will muffle its sound, but if you’re shopping for a new speaker, you can look for options that are built to look like furniture.

Flor has to be stated before the first trick has been played; if someone else has called out “envido” (which means they are betting higher stakes on their hand), the envido bet is canceled out by someone calling flor. Calling flor gets your team 3 points and ends that hand.  If you and your opponent both happen to call “flor,” add up the numerical value of the cards in your hand. The person with the highest number scores 6 points for their team. This particular rule often isn’t used if players are betting real money on the game, but it’s a fun way to get some extra points for your team. Getting 3 of the same suit in a hand is not a very common occurrence. Betting envido will get you 2 points if you win the bet. Your opponents can accept the bet, refuse it, or even raise the bet to be worth 3 points. Lay your cards out in front of you once the bet is accepted and tally up your points. The person with the highest points wins the envido. To score envido:  If 2 of your 3 cards are the same suit, add their numerical value together and add 20 to that number. If your 3 cards are from different suits, add together the numerical value of the 3 cards. Face cards are always worth 0 numerical points. If you win the hand by having the highest numerical value, you get 2 points or 3 points added to your team’s score, depending on whether or not your bet was raised. If two players are at a draw, the leader (dealer) of the hand wins the points. Each player will lay down their highest card to try and win a trick, and each hand has 3 tricks to be played. The team that wins the most tricks in any hand gets 1 point for their team (not 1 point per trick, but 1 point per deal). Whoever wins the point for their team deals the next hand. The hand is a draw if the highest cards thrown down are the same. Calling truco raises the point value of the hand from 1 point to 2 points. Truco can be called during the 1st or 2nd trick. Your opponents could fold their hand, accept the bet if they think they can beat you, or they could also raise...

Flour mites cannot thrive in a low-humidity environment (under 65%), and you should never see an infestation if your storage area is well-ventilated. Pay attention to the placement of kettles, cookers, dryers, and stoves and make sure they are not causing moist air to collect in food storage areas. Try keeping a fan in your pantry to cool the air and dry out any moisture. , grains, cereal, and other susceptible foods in clean, airtight containers. This will keep your food fresh and dry and keep mites out. If there are any mites that survived your cleaning process, depriving them of their food source will cause them to starve and prevent them from laying eggs in your grains.  Resealable plastic bags can work short-term, but mites can chew holes through them and get to your food. Try glass or thick plastic containers instead. The lifecycle of flour mites is about one month, so if you can keep everything clean and sealed up tight, any remaining mites should die off. Try to avoid combining old and new foods in the containers. Wait until you've used up all the flour in the bin, give the bin a thorough cleaning and remove any old flour stuck to the bottom, and then refill with the new flour. Though it may be a little more expensive than buying in large, bulk quantities, but if you buy smaller portions, you are less likely to have susceptible foodstuffs sitting around for long periods of time. If they sit in a humid environment for too long, they may become damp and start to mold and start another infestation of mites. Make sure you inspect all packaging before bringing dry goods home. Make sure they are not damp or damaged and that they were not stored on a damp shelf. Flour mites, cockroaches, moths, rats, weevils, and many other pests are said to hate the smell of bay leaves and will avoid your dry goods if they are present. You can put the leaves right into the container (the taste won't leech into your food) or tape them to the lid of the container or inside the pantry or cupboard. There are conflicting reports...

Mantén secas y frescas las áreas de almacenamiento de los alimentos. Guarda la harina, granos, cereales y otros alimentos susceptibles en recipientes limpios y herméticos. Compra los productos secos en porciones pequeñas. Pega hojas de laurel en los recipientes o en la despensa donde almacenas los alimentos. Guarda la comida para mascotas lejos de tus demás alimentos secos.


Fly your kite on a day where there is strong, adequate wind. Select a launch site that is free from any power lines, trees, homes, roadways, and lots of people. You want to fly your kite in a clear, open area where it can’t get stuck and cause damage to surrounding people or property.  A good place to fly a kite is in an open field, or on an open beach. Never fly a kite during a rain or thunderstorm; these are dangerous and unmanageable kite flying conditions. Unwind a bit of both of your kite lines so the loops can be attached to the knots on the two sides of the kite’s bridle. Be sure to connect your right side line to the right side bridle knot and the left side line to the left side bridle knot.  Stick your thumb and pointer finger in the loop of one of your kite lines. Spread your fingers apart so the loop is taut around your fingers. Tilt your thumb and pointer finger downward, so they are on the outside of the loop.  Touch your thumb and pointer finger together. The loop should now look like a very loopy and round capital ‘A’. With both fingers touching, slide the line off your pointer finger, so your thumb is now holding both loops.  Insert one bridle knot through this loop and tighten the loop by tugging on the end.  Do this same procedure with your other kite line and the other bridle knot. Keeping your kite on the ground, unwind your left and right kite lines to make sure they are exactly the same length. Your lines should be unwound about 75–100 feet (22.9–30.5 m) from your kite. Stand upwind from the kite and securely grasp onto both of your kite lines.  Your lines should be running evenly back toward the kite from your standing position. If your lines come with looped handles, insert your wrists through the looped handles. The shorter your lines are, the less reaction time you have to make necessary adjustments to your kite. The longer your lines are, the more difficult it is to do tricks with your kite; especially for beginner kite flyers. Make sure you have a good hold on the kite lines with...

Foam board is the main object used in this method. Buy foam board at your local arts and crafts store or your local hardware store. Get 4 large sheets of foam board that are at least 42 centimetres (17 in) by 30 centimetres (12 in) in size. You will also need 2 acrylic sheets, 11 inches (28 cm) in length, 14 inches (36 cm) in width, and .09 inches (0.23 cm) thick. The other items you need are glue, a 2H pencil, a ruler, scissors, and LED lights.

TL;DR in Spanish:


Foaming cleansers work the best for oily skin as they remove oil gently. You only need a small amount for your whole face. Foaming cleansers come in gel, pump, and cream form. Be careful only to wash your face twice a day. Washing too often can actually cause your skin to produce more oil and pimples. If you have acne-prone skin, then you should be using tougher ingredients that will reduce oil, shine, and pimples. Some common and effective ingredients include:  Benzoyl peroxide Salicylic acid Sulfur Alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid or lactic acid Retinoid Witch hazel Using a heavy moisturizer might make your skin even oilier. To combat this, use a water or gel-based moisturizer instead. These are moisturizers where water is listed as the first or second ingredient. Clay masks are great for people with oily skin. Smear them on your face after cleansing, and leave them on for fifteen to twenty minutes before rinsing off. Apply moisturizer afterwards. Touching your face can transfer bacteria and dirt from your hands to your face. These can cause pimples. If you must touch your face, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water first. Never pick, squeeze, or pop your pimples. It hurts more, looks worse, and eventually may leave behind an ugly scar.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige un limpiador espumoso. Busca componentes que combatan el acné. Aplícate un humectante a base de agua. Relájate con una mascarilla de arcilla para reducir la grasa de la piel. Evita tocarte el rostro.


Focus on becoming more aware. Genetics play a large part in determining the capabilities of our senses and many factors can distract or diminish their ability. While improving our senses is considered very difficult, you can improve your skill by isolating them. Let go of inhibitions to become more susceptible to  the sensations your body experiences. Confidence doesn't come overnight. Build yourself up each day by remembering to stay positive and optimistic. Your vision has been your primary sense throughout your life and is responsible for about 80% of the information your brain receives. Without the ability to rely on our vision, we become more aware of what the rest of our senses are experiencing. Give your other sense the opportunity to interpret your environment. Notice every sound and try to judge the distance it's traveling to reach you. Isolate individual sounds like a bird singing. Try following two individual sounds separately.  Listen to music with headphones. For a bigger challenge, listen with two sets of headphones and a different song in each ear. Try to follow each song separately. Listen to music you love. Ask yourself why you love it. While your sense of taste and smell are controlled by separate receptor organs, the two senses are entwined and responsible for how your brain perceives taste.  Let your eyes close during each bite. Chew slowly and focus on the taste, texture, and smell. Seek out aromas that you enjoy. Bake some cookies or light a scented candle. Add different herbs and spices to your meals and try to single them out by their taste. Your skin is your largest organ and is responsible for giving you important information about your environment. Your skin keeps you updated on different temperatures, textures, pressure, vibrations, and more. Seek out activities that target your sense of touch.  Enjoy your favorite fabric and pay attention to the texture. Relax in a warm bath or shower. Get a massage.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Logra la mentalidad correcta. Siéntete cómodo contigo mismo. Cierra los ojos. Enfócate en lo que escuchas con los ojos cerrados. Disfruta de una comida con los ojos cerrados. Toca cosas.


Focus on cutting out sugary foods and processed grains. Most sugar-filled drinks are between 150 and 300 calories. These are considered "empty" calories, because they have few nutrients. The other half should be split between lean protein and whole grains. It is necessary to keep your metabolism from slowing down and storing more fat in your midsection. Reduce what you eat by between 100 and 500 calories, reducing less on the days when you have a long workout. Most doctors agree that losing weight and keeping it off require small diet changes and reductions that you are committed to, rather than drastic diets.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reduce el número de alimentos procesados que consumes. Reemplaza los refrescos y alcohol por agua y té. Llena la mitad de tu plato con vegetales. Come un desayuno saludable que contenga entre 300 y 600 calorías. Mantén un diario de comida.


Focus on expanding each section of your outline, keeping in mind the 1200-1600 word limit for the essay. Your introduction and your conclusion should be the shortest paragraphs in your essay, and the body paragraphs should be the longer sections of your essay. You may want to also refer back to your brainstorming notes to identify the supporting examples for your two areas of knowledge, or your main argument and your main counter-argument. You want to show the TOK assessment committee that you are writing a reflective essay, not a textbook definition heavy essay. Don’t rely on dictionary definitions to prove your argument or support a counter argument. This will demonstrate that you did not engage with the topic and bypassed complexities around the topic in favor of generic definitions. For example, you may be discussing the use of reason and imagination in the arts. Rather than discuss a familiar artist, like Picasso, or a familiar example of imaginative thinking, like the Sistine Chapel, use supporting examples that feel original and insightful. Though the essay should be objective in nature, it should also feel reflective and personal. Using a supporting example that you feel passionate about, like Pollack’s kinetic movement paintings, or Rodin’s sculptures, will show you have taken the time to explore unique examples. When you are writing your TOK essay, you will likely need to cite external sources when quoting a source or paraphrasing a source. MLA style is a common citation style used in essay writing. Use this guide when citing sources:  Reference surprising or little known claims, but not well known facts or commonly held opinions. For example: “The sun is the center of the solar system” is a well known fact you will not need to cite. But “Rodin was a traditionally-schooled artist and had a craftsman-like approach to his work” will require a citation as it is maybe a little known fact. Reference any sentences or sections where you are closely following someone else’s train of thought or argument,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa el boceto de tu ensayo como una guía. Evita usar definiciones de diccionario en tu ensayo. Cita todas las fuentes externas usando citas estilo MLA. Lee tu ensayo en voz alta. Corrige cualquier error de ortografía o gramática.


Focus on the front or back first, then flip the jeans over to work on the back. If you don't want to bleach a certain side, stuff your pants with newspaper before you begin. The newspaper will prevent the bleach from soaking through to the other side.

TL;DR in Spanish:


Focus on the roots, where your hair is most likely to turn dry. It would be best if you use a cream specially formulated for curling hair or braiding cornrows. Choose a natural cream, such as a coconut curling cream. You can have as many or as few sections as you want, but keep in mind that the more sections you create, the more extensions you will need to add. About six or so sections would be ideal. Use a rat-tail comb to create a clean, neat part. Clip each section out of the way before moving onto the next one. Play around with the parting. They don't all have to come from along your hairline. You can have them all start from the center of your head instead. You will need about 12 strands per cornrow. If you want thicker, more drastic cornrows, you will need 24 strands. Each strand should be a little thicker than the last one. Have your first set of strands laid out and ready to use. The extensions don't have to match your hair color. Feel free in use a bright color for a surprising effect.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aplica una crema hidratante al cabello. Decide cuántas trenzas quieres. Divide el cabello según la cantidad de trenzas que quieras. Separa las extensiones kanekalon.


Focus your eyes on something else instead of giving the annoying person eye contact. Most people understand the importance of eye contact during a conversation. If they get the hint, they will likely end the conversation.  Focus your eyes on your computer if you are sitting at your desk. Use your cell phone as a distraction from the annoying person. You could force yourself to yawn, or blow your nose several times to make the act convincing. This will allow you to quickly excuse yourself from the conversation without being offensive. If you don't feel like you can pull off faking a cold, just say that you have another obligation and you can't be late.  You could tell the person that you are meeting someone for coffee/lunch/dinner, and that you have to leave right now. If you say something like "I haven't felt well for days," and blow your nose, the annoying person is likely to let you end the conversation and go home. When you are stuck standing by an annoying person who is trying to converse with you, start taking steps away from the person. Make it seem like you have somewhere that you need to go. Then, politely excuse yourself from the conversation. Don’t allow the annoying person to get comfortable in your presence. Avoid being hospitable when they visit. You can do this subtly without being blatantly rude.  Don’t offer the annoying person a place to sit. If you have seats available, occupy them with your purse, coat, or paperwork. Avoid offering the rude person a cup of coffee or a drink of water. Be sure to sit at a table that would be too small for them to accompany you.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Minimiza el contacto visual. Actúa como si estuvieras cansado, enfermo o apurado. Retrocede mientras conversas. Haz que quedarse sea difícil para la persona.


Focus your job search on industries that tend to need data analysts more than others. Marketing firms, tech companies, and financial institutions all tend to hire data analysts to help them interpret data and explain it in understandable terms. Check the websites of companies you're interested in to see if they're hiring, or do a general search online. If you already know someone who works in one of these fields, ask them if they know of anyone whose hiring. Internships are a great way to get your foot in the door at great companies. Many data analyst internships will require you to be working towards your degree before applying. Depending on the industry, you’ll need to be familiar with Python, R, or SQL programming — knowing all three is even better. Many of these internships are unpaid or only for the summer, so check before applying so that you know all of the details. Trade organizations are a great way to take advantage of resources such as workshops, networking opportunities, or online help centers. There are several organizations related to data analysis, such as TechAmerica or the Association for Computing Machinery. Do some online research to see if you’re interested in joining one. To join a trade organization, go online to their website to find the membership information. You may be able to sign up for a free membership that gives you access to a limited number of resources. There are usually different tiers of memberships that give you different perks depending on how much you pay. Entry-level jobs will allow you to gain valuable knowledge and experience that you’ll need for higher level data analyst jobs. Entry-level jobs still pay very well and companies are always looking for people to fill positions such as Statistical Data Analyst or Business Analyst. Entry level jobs will most likely require a bachelor's degree, but not a master's or doctoral degree.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca industrias que necesiten analistas de datos. Solicita unas prácticas como analista de datos. Únete a una organización comercial. Busca trabajos de nivel básico.


Focusing on others will help you develop yourself. Find a cause you care about and donate your spare time to it. Look at local organizations that could use volunteers, start a fundraiser, or begin your own volunteer group.  Volunteer at a homeless shelter. Teach free ESL classes to immigrants. Get involved in your local union and help other workers in your field. others. Be good to everyone of your acquaintance, but be especially kind to the ones closest to you. Manage your own feelings so that you do not take them out on others. Avoid violence unless it is absolutely necessary to defend yourself or another. Help people out who need help. Check in if you're not sure how best to help the ones you love, but give ideas. Say: "I'm free Sunday if you'd let me trim those hedges for you—but if you'd rather have me run some errands for you, I can do that instead." Take a little time every day to reflect on all of the work others do for you. Express gratitude for them to yourself. Let them know how grateful you are as well.  When someone has done something for you, thank them. Tell them how they have helped you so that they can feel the sincerity of your gratitude. Write something you are grateful for in your journal every day, or mention it during a daily prayer or self-affirmation. Feel grateful for the good feelings you get from your kindness to others. Feel grateful that you can participate in their lives, and they in yours.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trabaja como voluntario. Sé cortés Desarrolla una mayor gratitud.


Foil fencing requires rapid reflexes and lots of endurance. There is only one way to score in foil fencing - by touching an opponent's torso with the foil. Because the torso is such a limited portion of the body, opponents usually engage with one another in close quarters and the foil requires almost non-stop movement during combat.  In general, the foil is best wielded by an athlete who is shorter than average. The foil offers lively, engaging combat for those who are nimble and can think very fast on their feet. Rapiers have long, narrow blades that are ideal for an offensive cut-and-thrust style of fighting. The edges of a rapier aren’t that sharp, since the emphasis is on the pointed tip rather than the blade itself. They can slash and slice to some extent, but their main purpose was for lunging and thrusting.  Details can vary from rapier to rapier, but in general these swords are thin, lightweight and intended for unarmored single-combat. Rapiers were originally Medieval swords used by both the military and civilians. These swords originate from different time periods and cultures, but all of them feature a curved blade with a single sharpened edge meant for violent combat. They were sharp enough to slice off the limbs and head of an opponent in a single stroke.  These blades could be used for combat in close quarters and also worked well if you were on horseback. Even when wielded by an unskilled swordsperson, these swords could cut through most armor and inflict massive damage and deadly wounds. The katana was one of the sacred swords of the Samurai. It features a long, extremely strong blade that is best used in combat on an open battlefield rather than close in close quarters. It was equally effective when fighting on the ground as it was on horseback.  The blade of the katana is slightly curved, single edged and usually at least 24 inches in length. Katana are some of the most revered swords ever to have been forged, made of very durable, high quality steel. They were and still are considered works...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige un florete si eres un esgrimista energético y perspicaz. Utiliza un estoque si prefieres combatir con técnicas de corte y estocada. Corta y raja con los filos curvos del bracamante, la cimitarra o el sable. Utiliza la hoja larga y mortal de una catana para el combate en el exterior. Da un golpe mortal con la fuerza de una espada larga de dos manos. Esgrime una espada siempre con las máximas precauciones.


Fold a piece of 120-grit sandpaper into a thin strip. Wrap it around your finger, then lightly sand the inside edges of the carved line. This removes any chips or splinters. Skip this step if you etched the surface with a wood burning tool or a dremel. You should do this if you etched the wood using a chisel, gouge, or dremel. Any dust left on the wood may get trapped in the topcoat during the next step.  If you don't have a tack cloth, use a soft, damp cloth instead. Skip this step if you etched the surface with a wood burning tool. You can leave your etched wood as-is, or you can give it a finished look with topcoat. Choose a topcoat in a finish that appeals to you (matte, satin, or glossy), then apply a thin coat. Use lacquer for pieces that will be kept inside, and weather-resistant polyurethane for pieces that will be kept outside.  Apply spray-on topcoats using a sweeping motion, overlapping each stroke. Apply brush-on topcoats with a flat, wide paintbrush. Go with the grain and overlap each stroke. For indoor or decorative pieces, you could get away with just one coat. If the piece will be kept outside or used often, you might want to apply one or two more light coats. Allow each coat to dry before adding the next one. Don't apply the coats too quickly or too soon, otherwise they may turn out tacky. How long this takes depends on the type of topcoat you are using. Some are completely dry and ready to use in several hours. Others, especially outdoor types, often require several days in which to cure. Read the label on your can or bottle of topcoat. Keep in mind that things like humidity, weather, and temperature may also affect drying and curing times.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lija suavemente las superficies talladas. Limpia el polvo del lijado con un paño adherente. Aplica una capa de acabado si lo deseas. Deja que el acabado seque antes de aplicar otra capa. Deja que el acabado se seque y cure por completo antes de usar la pieza.


Fold a piece of fabric in half and smooth it out to ensure there are no lumps or bumps. Lay your teddy bear on the fabric and mark the fabric on both sides of the teddy bear under the armpits and next to its waist.The fabric needs to go at least halfway up the sides of the teddy bear’s waist. Remove the teddy bear and connect these 4 dots with a piece of chalk or fabric marker to form a rectangle.  If you want to create a specific kind of teddy bear shirt, use a pattern instead. You can purchase teddy bear clothing patterns in a craft supply store or find free patterns online.  Keep in mind that getting the right fit may be more complex depending on the shape of the bear’s body. You can use any type of fabric that you want to make a teddy bear shirt. The straps off of an old canvas shopping bag or fabric purse will work well as straps for your teddy bear’s shirt. Depending on the thickness of the straps, the shirt may look like a tank top or a t-shirt. Measure the distance from the top of your teddy bear’s chest, then over the shoulder to the same location on its back. Add 1 in (2.5 cm) for the seam allowance. Cut out 2 straps to the desired length.  Use a soft tape measure to find the desired strap length. You can also substitute ribbon for the shirt straps.

Fold the clay in half and reshape it into a disc. Examine the clay surface to make sure there aren’t any contaminants on the surface. If there are, fold it over again. Spray it lightly with lubricant once you have a clean surface.  A 2 oz (57 g) bar of clay should last for 3-4 “clayings” before it’s overloaded with contaminants. However, once you can’t find a clean surface in the clay, it’s time to discard it. If you spot a larger piece of contamination in the clay, pick it out with your fingers, then fold the clay over. Always discard the clay if you drop it on the ground. It will pick up too many large pieces of debris to be useful. Your second 2 ft × 2 ft (61 cm × 61 cm) section should overlap the first by several inches/centimeters. Spray it liberally with lubricant, and add a bit of lubricant to the clean section of your clay disc. Then, as before, rub the clay very gently over the new section in either an up-and-down or side-to-side motion.  Check your clay disc regularly for built-up debris, and fold it over to create a clean surface as needed. When the clay stops picking up contaminants, wipe the excess lubricant off the car with a clean microfiber cloth. Keep overlapping each new section over the previous one by several inches/centimeters, and keep checking your clay disc regularly for excess contaminant buildup. If you can no longer create a clean clay surface, grab a new clay bar to finish the job. You can also “clay” plastic and chrome areas, as well as the windows—basically everything but the tires! Follow the instructions on the packaging of the clay bar and the wax or sealant. Waxing or sealing protects the paint from corrosion that can form in the tiny holes that had been previously filled with contaminants before “claying.” If you also want to polish the car’s finish, do this after you “clay” and before waxing or sealing. If you're using a fine grade clay bar, you can clean your car with it as often as monthly. Limit "claying" with medium grade bars to 1-2 times per year, though, in order to...

Aplícale cera al auto nuevamente cuando los contaminantes se acumulen en la superficie.


Fold the filter paper to fit into the funnel. Polythene filter funnels are cheaper and safer than glass funnels. The filter funnel diameter is should not be too big. Otherwise, the filtration set-up will be unstable. If the beaker is too hot, wait for it to cool more. The contents will remain hot, so continue to handle with care. Pour the solution into the filter funnel. A clear blue solution should be in the flask. If it is still cloudy with black powder, repeat the filtration process until clear.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Inserta el embudo de filtración en el cuello del matraz de Erlenmeyer. Revisa si es seguro sujetar el vaso de precipitado de la parte de arriba. Revuelve la solución haciendo movimientos circulares con el vaso. Espera hasta que la solución se filtre.


Fold the fishing line back over on itself about 4 inches (10 cm) from the end of the line to make a loop. Then, thread the loop through the swivel. Wrap the loop around the line and tuck it through the hole that is created, as if you were going to tie a basic knot. Before you pull it tight, push the swivel through the original loop you made. After pushing the swivel through the loop, hold the swivel in 1 hand and the line in the other. Pull both ends firmly to tighten the knot. Use scissors or a knife to trim the extra fishing line off. Be careful not to cut yourself!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Folliculitis is often brought on by irritation caused by shaving or unsanitary shaving practices. If you have folliculitis on the skin under your beard or another area that you regularly shave, give that area a break from shaving. Persistent shaving can irritate the area and even spread the disease from one patch of hair to the next. If you must shave, minimize the irritation as much as possible. Try to use an electric razor, rather  than a handheld razor, and shave with the grain, rather than against the grain. Ensure your razor is clean every time you shave. Fingers and hands are among the most common vectors for bacteria. This means that they carry and transmit bacteria much like an airplane carries and transmits people. Although the area may itch, sting, or smart, it's important to resist the urge to itch or pick at the infected area. Treat the area like an off-limits area—wash your hands before touching it, and try to touch it only if you're applying soap, topical medicine, or a compress. The mechanical action of clothing rubbing against the skin throughout the day can cause chafing and irritation which can potentially lead to infection. Additionally, skin infections can also result if any clothing prevents air from reaching the skin. If you are prone to folliculitis, ensure that your clothing is soft and loose-fitting to minimize any potential irritation. Also try to prevent the clothing around any areas affected by folliculitis from becoming wet. Wet clothing is likely to cling to the skin, increasing the risk of irritation. Everyone's skin is different—some people are susceptible to rashes and breakouts, while others are resilient. If you have folliculitis (or are prone to it), try to avoid coming into contact with any substances that you know to cause you irritation (especially substances you're allergic to), as the irritation can lead to an infection or sidetrack the healing process of an existing infection. You may, for instance, want to avoid certain cosmetics, oils, lotions, rubs, and so on....

TL;DR in Spanish:

No afeites el área. No toques el área. No uses ropa ajustada. No expongas tu piel a sustancias irritantes. No te bañes o nades en agua no tratada. No confíes demasiado en las cremas esteroides de uso tópico. No permitas que las heridas se infecten.

Follow a unified colour scheme.  For example, choose bottoms in black or khaki, with a matching sweater or jacket if appropriate. This will allow you to take a smaller number of clothes.     Choose tops that will match all bottoms. As tops are generally lighter than pants, you will be able to pack a few more without adding extra weight.     Generally, three bottoms (black or khaki cotton pants, dress pants, and jeans) should be sufficient, with three long sleeved shirts, one to two sweaters, a jacket, and a few t-shirts to layer under clothing.    You may surprise yourself considerably! One for walking, one for business/formal wear and one for the weather you'll be encountering.  Consider hiring or buying boots if you encounter snow or wet environments. These can be too heavy to cart around on a long trip. All sports boots or shoes should be hired.     Flip flops cost nothing. Buy them when you're in the country or area rather than dragging them along with you. Then leave them behind when you're done.    If you're doing a round-the-world trip, you are likely to encounter all sorts of weather, including cold, wet, hot and dry. This makes carrying clothing a bit of a logistical nightmare. What can make it easier is to either send home clothing mid-way, especially after cold country visits, or decide to give it away to people before leaving the country. Choose clothing you don't mind giving up if you're going to give it away. Perhaps select a wardrobe of items you're never going to wear again, but are close to being donated anyway. Or, do a deliberate shop at the thrift store to purchase gear only for the trip and to be given away as you go. You won't be so invested in it that way but do be sure to choose stuff that looks fabulous on you, or you'll regret taking it with you.    Don't travel with valuable jewelry unless you want to advertise the theft opportunity. Leave that stuff at home. Take only what is useful, such as a watch, a money holder, a scarf, a hat, etc. Consider buying accessories as light, easily...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca información sobre tu destino, incluidas las condiciones del tiempo, los estándares locales de vestimenta y las cosas que puedes comprar allí a un precio razonable. Escoge ropa de colores básicos. Calcula cuántos conjuntos diferentes puedes hacer con las prendas que has escogido. Escoge 3 pares de zapatos. Deja ropa en el camino. Mantén los accesorios al mínimo.


Follow all of the instructions provided by your doctor and pharmacist. The instructions for using progesterone can vary depending on your individual needs, so do as your doctor directed. Your suppositories should look like ovals or bullets. They’re usually prepared by the pharmacist, so check with them if you have any questions. If you miss a dose of your progesterone, take it as soon as you remember. It’s important to take your medicine as directed, without missing a dose. However, don’t take two doses at once. If it’s close to your next scheduled dose, skip the dose you forgot to take. The progesterone will keep your vaginal area moist, as it will slowly leak out of your vagina. Wear cotton panties and loose skirts or pants until you’re finished with your medication. While using vaginal progesterone, don’t wear tight pants, nylon panties, or tights. These materials don’t breathe, so they increase your risk of developing a yeast infection. The suppository will melt inside your body and slowly leak out of your vagina. You can wear a sanitary pad to protect your underwear from the leakage.  Remember to change your pad every few hours. You want to keep your vaginal area as dry as possible, which will help prevent a yeast infection. If you use your suppository right before bedtime, you will experience less discharge than if you walk around after you insert it. Tampons can absorb the progesterone, which can limit how effective it is. Always use sanitary pads rather than tampons. You might start your period while you’re using the progesterone. If this happens, continue to use sanitary pads only. Don’t use tampons. Although progesterone is considered safe, all medicines come with risks. Your doctor can help you understand how your personal medical history relates to the risks of taking progesterone. Here are some risks your doctor may discuss: You shouldn't take progesterone during pregnancy unless it's prescribed as part of your fertility treatment. Progesterone can increase your risk of developing blood clots,...

Follow the advice under Preparing for the Interview thoroughly. The more work you do beforehand, the more confident you'll be. Don't leave everything to the morning before if you want to make a good impression.  The advice under the Preparing section includes information on everything from doing research days in advance, to calming your nerves a few minutes before the interview. This section covers the interview itself, starting with introducing yourself and ending with how to follow up afterwards. Greet them confidently, without mumbling, and make eye contact. Shake their hand firmly but don't crush it, unless you live in an area where a different greeting is more common between business contacts. Consider waiting while standing up in the few minutes before the interviewer shows up. It's easier to make a good impression when you're not struggling out of a comfy chair. This won't make or break a job, so feel free to sit down if your knees are shaking or your legs need the rest. You should never appear sad or grim. Try to turn every question into a positive, even ones that touch on depressing subjects such as losing your last job. It's great if you and the interviewer are getting along, but don't go too far and start chatting instead of answering questions.   When discussing losing a job, use comments such as "I'm glad of the experience I got there." or "And now I'm free to apply to great companies like this one." Don't crack jokes during an interview. It's hard to predict how a stranger will react to your humor. You should focus on the questions you are asked and how they relate to the job you're applying for. Be especially cautious about sharing potentially controversial information such as religious beliefs or hobbies.  Prepare responses beforehand in case you are asked personal questions. Try deflecting them with responses such as "My (health / family situation / hobby) will not affect my ability to perform this job." or "I have a rich (background / set of life experiences / world view) that adds a lot to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Prepárate de antemano. Deja una buena impresión con tu presentación personal. Mantente optimista, pero nada de bromas. No compartas información personal. Toma algunas notas sobre la información importante. Formula preguntas cuando te den la oportunidad. Pregunta sobre el siguiente paso. Envía una nota de agradecimiento para los trabajos importantes. Comunícate con la empresa si se demora en comunicarse contigo.


Follow the agreements that you make with them. Never lie to them about how you are going to use the increased independence you’ve negotiated.  If you have a cell phone, answer your parents’ messages and calls. They might reach out more frequently at first, while they adjust to your increased independence. Be patient. Don’t be late. If you are supposed to be home by 10pm, aim to be home by 9:45pm – that way, you have a buffer in case you’re held up by a slow bus, for instance. If you can’t help being late, get in touch with your parents as soon as possible to let them know the situation. The ability to delay gratification in order to keep your word to someone else is an important sign of maturity. It also demonstrates that you are developing a good character. Don’t let your emotions or desires run away with you, so that you make bad choices or speak irresponsibly. This is an important part of showing that you can make good decisions.  It’s natural to get angry sometimes, for example, but don’t fly off the handle. Make a plan to calm yourself down.  If you feel your blood boiling, take a deep breath, count to ten, or excuse yourself to go outside or to the restroom. Your brain is set up to seek out more dangerous, risky behavior during this time in your life. While this is a natural part of adolescence, your parents also need to see evidence that you can rein in your desires and take care of yourself. Never do illegal drugs. If you are old enough to be in a sexual relationship, practice safer sex, including using condoms or other forms of barrier protection. For example, most parents monitor what websites their teenagers visit and how they use social media. These limits are part of your parents’ job. Don’t compare your parents to your friends’ parents. No one likes being pressured by these sorts of comparisons. And, it’s likely that you don’t know the whole story, even about your friends’ lives. Instead, focus on your own relationship with your parents. Another marker of maturity that your parents will...

TL;DR in Spanish:

No destruyas la confianza de tus padres. Cumple tus promesas aunque tengas que dejar de hacer algo divertido. Mantén tus impulsos bajo control. Sé responsable cuando se trate de sexo, drogas y alcohol. Acepta el hecho de que tus padres te pongan límites. Demuestra tu capacidad de preocuparte por los demás.


Follow the box's directions. Use a sheet cake (9x11) baking pan. This is an ideal size as it allows the cake to cook evenly.   If you want to get really creative, use different flavors of cake mix too. Some people prefer the taste of angel food cake. Experiment with other flavors to find what you like. Every cake's instructions are different, but most can be made in under 30 minutes. You can also use a cupcake pan and make individual sized Jello cakes. These are great for kids' parties.  Let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes. To avoid burning yourself and to help the Jello to congeal on your cake, it should be at room temperature. This can be done with a fork, chopsticks, or any other pointed cooking utensil. Holes should not go all the way through the cake to the bottom of the pan. Holes should be made every 1/2 - 3/4 inch (1-2 centimeters). Stir until completely  dissolved. If you do not dissolve the Jello mix entirely, it will clump and not congeal properly.  If you decide to make a layered Jello cake, use 1 box of gelatin for each layer. You could coordinate for holidays such as red and blue gelatin for the 4th of July. This is also a good idea, if you are trying to accommodate a lot of people who prefer different flavors.  For a vegan option, use Weikfield jelly based on agar-agar (a seaweed). It is available in India and in Indian stores worldwide. It works just like Jello for this recipe. Jello is not a vegan dessert. Gelatin is a protein produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the various animal parts. The holes you made in the cake allow Jello to seep into the cake. Most people prefer that the Jello be evenly spread throughout the cake, giving each bite an equal portion of cake and Jello. Feel free to get creative. Maybe spell out a person’s name if it is their birthday. Make elaborate Jello designs. You might even consider combining several flavors of Jello to give your cake a pop of color. Let sit for about 1 hour or until the gelatin solidifies. Decorate with colorful candy...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Prepara el pastel de vainilla de caja. Haz hoyos con un tenedor. Mezcla 170 g (6 oz) de gelatina con 2 tazas de agua hirviendo. Vierte la gelatina líquida sobre el pastel. Pon el pastel en el refrigerador. Echa la crema batida sobre el pastel. Disfruta de tu pastel de gelatina con hoyos.


Follow the instructions and use a 9x11 baking pan, unless otherwise indicated on the box. You might consider a clear baking dish as well. The Jello mousse cake is much prettier from the side than the Jello “poke” cake because it has distinguishable layers. A clear dish will allow your family or guests to see this.  Most cake mixes take around 30 minutes to make.   Allow your cake to cool for at least 15 minutes. To avoid burning yourself and to help the Jello-mousse layer settle without becoming runny, your cake should be at room temperature. Take 6 oz of Jello with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. If you do not dissolve the Jello mix entirely, it will clump and not congeal properly. Then add 1 cup cold water and stir. The cold water will activate the mix and the Jello will start to form. If you need your Jello to set more quickly, place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Once the Jello starts to thicken, take your cool whip and mix it completely with your Jello. This will give it a mousse-like texture. Make it an even layer. If using a 9x11 pan, your mousse layer should be about 3/4' thick. This will allow the mousse to fully set. If you don't refrigerate the mousse, it will stay runny and won't support the next layer of the cake. Add 3 oz of Jello mix to 1 cup of boiling water and stir. When the gelatin is dissolved (like before), add 1/2 cup of cold water and let cool at room temperature. You can combine flavors at this point, if you'd like. For instance, use cherry Jello for the mousse and strawberry Jello for the top layer. Then you'll have a berry Jello mousse cake. This layer of Jello should be even as well. A lot of people like to add fruits to this final Jello layer. Pick fruits that compliment your Jello flavors like cherries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or apple slices. Add candy sprinkles. They can add a fun touch to your cake.  If you are celebrating a specific occasion, like someone’s birthday, spell out a message with your fruits or sprinkles. If you...

Follow the instructions on the box. Do not rinse the dye out before the minimum time or leave the dye in past the maximum time. Make sure to follow the directions exactly. If you have a lot of grey hair, it’s best to leave the dye in for the maximum amount of time. It may help to sit under a heated dryer, as well. Never leave hair dye in overnight. Leaving it in overnight will dry out your hair and it may cause severe skin irritation as well.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Follow the instructions that come with your box kit to determine how the color should be mixed. Don't freak out if it's white, blue, or purple -- that's totally normal.  If you’ve never dyed your hair, omit bleach and use a permanent dye instead.This will damage your hair less and can lift your hair color up to three shades. Don’t use bleach if you’re going for a more natural look. If you’re using bleach, pour it into a small bowl so that you can easily dip the brush into it. At least. If you'd like to divide into 12, that wouldn't be a terrible idea. Use hair clips or rubber hair ties to keep your hair in place. You don't want your post-dyed sections to mesh with the sections you haven't done yet. If you have time, do a strand test to make sure you have chosen the right shade and to determine how long to leave the bleach in. It could save you from a hair disaster. A disast-hair? Nah. Start a couple of inches away from your roots and apply the bleach from that point to the ends in very thin stripes. The thinner the highlights, the more natural the color will look, whereas thick highlights will create a zebra-stripe effect.When the brush is almost dry and contains very little color, feather up towards the root. This will produce a softer, more natural effect and prevent any spots or splotches. Don't start applying at your root. You risk getting it on hair you don't want to get it on and starting out with a big glob and too much dye -- definitely not a good thing. If you’re using dye to create highlights, keep the color on your hair for as long as the box instructions recommend. Leaving it on for more time won't get you a richer color. If you’re using bleach, keep an eye on your hair to make sure that the highlights don't get too light.  If you use bleach, rinse it out the moment you see that it has lifted your highlight color to your preferred lightness. When bleach is left on too long, it can cause severe damage to your hair. If you are not sure how long to leave the dye on, always go with a conservative...

Follow the last name with a comma and then the first. Include the title of the artwork and the year that it was created. If there is an owner or location for the art, list it next.  For example, the citation should look like: Myers, Robin. Apple and Fruit. 1980. Morton Center, Dallas. If you are citing the art from a book source, then include the book's title, author, city of publication, publisher, and year at the end of the citation. Include the last name followed by the first. Place the title of the work in quotation marks. State whether it is a cartoon or illustration. Include whether it appeared in a newspaper, journal, book, or website and the information for that source. For example, a sample citation might look like: Smith, Michael. “Penny Hoards.” Illustration. New York Times 10 May 2011: 15. Then, follow the full company's name with the term “Advertisement.” Next, put the name of where the advertisement appeared and the publication date. If you have a page number, put that last. For example, a sample citation will look like: Chico's. Advertisement. InStyle Magazine. June 2008, p.82. Enter the author's last name followed by a comma and then their first name. Put the microform's article title in quotations. Follow this with the full original publication title and the original publication date. Put a colon at the end of the date, followed by the page number. Then, write “Microform” followed by a period and the collection title, volume number, and year in parentheses.  If you have detailed microform information, such as the reel or fiche number, that can follow at the end after a colon. For example, “Reel 2, Microfilm 820.” An entire sample entry will look like: Smith, Michael. “Stock Options.” Advisor Newspaper 6 March 1960: 5. Microform. Works Progress Administration 45 (1960): Reel 2, Microfilm 820.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Pour a quarter of the cup of oil into the processor bowl, on top of the seeds. Stop pulsing occasionally to push down any stuck grains back into the mixture for processing. (Use a spatula.) Pulse for at least another 2 to 3 minutes, again taking care to ensure all the seeds are being processed. See Tips for note on adding oil and consistency of the tahini. This may take up to 10 minutes, so take little breaks if you tire!

Follow the package instructions for stirring and applying the varnish. Unless otherwise directed, use a natural bristle paintbrush and apply a thin layer using long, even strokes.  Stairs are high-traffic areas, so sealing them is essential. Remember to use a compatible varnish—oil-based with an oil-based stain, or water-based with a water-based stain. Allow the varnish to dry for the recommended time, such as 4 hours. One coat of varnish may be sufficient, in which case you’re all done! However, since stairs take a beating from foot traffic, adding a second coat isn’t a bad idea. Before doing this, very lightly sand the varnish with 220-grit sandpaper.  Wipe away the dust with a tack cloth before proceeding. Some floor-grade polyurethanes do not require sanding between coats, especially if the second coat is applied within 12 hours of the first coat. Check the product instructions. Use the same process as before. When you’re done, allow the finish to dry for at least 48 hours before using the stairs. After the drying time is complete, remove any drop cloths, painter's tape, and other materials, and enjoy your beautiful new staircase!

Follow the specific recipe you are using, in addition to adding the chopped pecans and flaked coconut. Be sure to follow the regular ingredient amounts, utensils and baking dishes, steps or instructions, oven temperatures, and baking times as well. Using a damp knife, cut the cake in sections or quarters. This allows the insides of the cake to cool down faster, rather than having the cake cool down from the outside in. When the cake pieces has reached room temperature or warm to handle, use your hands to crumble the cake in a large mixing bowl. You will want to break down any chunks, especially any hard corners. Start off with 1/4 cup of icing in the bowl. Use a wooden spoon to thoroughly incorporate the cake crumbs and icing together until you achieve a consistency of dough, as if you're making cookie dough. Add additional icing, if needed. Having the mixture chilled makes it easier for you to roll it into balls.

Follow the steps laid out in method one, up through step five, the creation of a gravel and sand foundation. To ornament an existing patio or path, you can also cover a pre-existing concrete slab with flagstones using the mortared flagstone technique. In this case, you can skip the excavation stage and just work on top of the slab. A clean surface will ensure a better bond to the mortar. If working on a concrete slab, pressure wash it as well. Follow the same procedure detailed in step six of method one.  Make certain you are satisfied with your layout. Once you start to put the stones in place with mortar, it will be very difficult to move them. If you are planning to fill your joints with grout or mortar, try to keep your joints narrow. If using sand or gravel, you can make the joints any size you find aesthetically pleasing. If using grout or mortar as joint filler, the flagstone surface will have a cleaner look and a smoother finish if you fit your stones together such that you keep the joints narrow and as uniform as possible. Mortar is a mix of sand, cement, and water. You should mix two measures of sand to every one measure of cement. Then, slowly add water while stirring the mixture. Continue adding water until you get a consistency similar to cake frosting. It's a good idea to mix up a small practice batch or two before you mix up a large enough batch to lay your stones. One by one, lift each stone, apply mortar to your bed of sand and gravel or the concrete slab you are attaching your stones to, then set the stone into the wet mortar. If your stones are not of uniform thickness, you will need to apply additional mortar underneath some of them to get an even surface. In this case, start by identifying the thickest stone and mortaring it in first. Then, work outward from this stone, ensuring that each subsequent flagstone is about the same height. Don't do anything else until your mortar is completely dry. Fill the spaces between the flagstones with sand, gravel, additional mortar, or grout.  Grout...

Follow these steps to perform a standard takeoff:  First, open the throttle slowly until you reach proper operating RPM. Pull the collective gradually up. As collective pitch increases, push the left pedal (right pedal for clockwise rotating main rotors). Continue pulling on the collective and depressing the left pedal. Adjust the pedal if the aircraft is turning to the left or right. The helicopter will leave the ground and you'll be able to use the cyclic. As you continue to pull the collective and depress the pedal, adjust the cyclic to level the aircraft as you take off. Push forward slightly to start moving forward. As the helicopter transitions from vertical to forward motion, it will shudder and the nose will pull up. Push the cyclic forward a little more to make sure you keep going forward. The phenomenon that causes the shudder is called effective translational lift (ETL).  As speed increases the rotor blade lift becomes more effective. It is important to anticipate for this phenomenon and correct for it. As you progress through ETL, reduce the collective lever and apply less pressure to the pedal. Push the cyclic forward to avoid an abrupt nose high attitude and reduction in forward speed. Once you’ve taken off, slightly release forward cyclic pressure. The aircraft will then begin to climb and gain airspeed. From this point, the pedals are primarily used to trim the aircraft. Most maneuvers will only require a combination of the cyclic and collective controls. Learn to do this with an instructor, who can operate the other controls while you practice them 1 at a time, and then in combination. You must learn to anticipate the time lag between when you adjust the controls and the helicopter's reaction. This will vary depending on terrain. Maintain 15-20 knots during a steep climb. Carefully increase collective and be sure not to exceed the yellow limit of the torque gauge. This may mean that you have adjust your trim so you are turned slightly to one side as you approach.  Try to be around 200–500...
