If you arrive home after being stuck outside, change out of your cold, wet clothes as soon as possible. Frostbite can happen quickly, and it's important to warm yourself up as soon as possible. Wear a full set of warm, comfortable clothing for the duration of the storm. The room you pick should be one that contains your heat source and supplies. Try to choose one that has few windows or doors to help keep it insulated. Close off the rest of the house by shutting all windows and both internal and external doors. Cover windows with blankets and stuff towels under the doors. Periodically check the latest weather news for your area. This will help you determine how to stay safe and ration your supplies.  If you have power and cable, watch the weather or local news station. Check online for immediate updates. If your power or Internet is out, listen to your radio for news. While you may be tempted to use your phone's Internet service, save the battery for emergency calls. Unless absolutely necessary, do not leave your home. Remember that there may be downed power lines nearby that you can't see in the low visibility of a blizzard. Only leave to start and maintain the generator, retrieve extra firewood, or if someone in your household has a medical emergency.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cámbiate la ropa mojada. Reúne a la familia en un punto bien aislado. Mantente alerta. Mantente dentro de la casa.


If you attached batting to your bulletin board, you can mimic a soft, tufted comforter. Here's how:  Nail a piece of plywood to the back of the board. (See Tips for alternatives.)  Nail small, short nails through the fabric and onto the plywood. Place them in a diamond pattern. Make sure they don't penetrate the plywood. Cover the nails with upholstery tacks, or glue decorative beads over them.

If you become a mortician's assistant, you will eventually go on to become a mortician. You'll want to spend some time learning about the career and what it entails. A mortician's job is difficult emotionally draining, but can also be incredibly rewarding as well. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the duties of a mortician.  As a mortician, it's your job to prepare bodies for burial. You will also have to worked with bereaved families, making sure all their wishes are met. You may occasionally have to talk to people who are near death about arrangements for their own bodies after death. In addition to working with bodies, there is a lot of practical work that goes into becoming a mortician. You must help families sort out financial obligations regarding funerals and may have to do basic clerical and administrative work at your funeral home. Working with people is an important aspect of being a funeral director. You may have to network with counselors and psychiatric professionals so you can refer clients to needed resources. As you'll be working with emotional people, the job can be draining. Many morticians, however, find it incredibly rewarding to see people through the grieving process. If you want to be a mortician, start early on. Take the right curriculum in school to help you gain necessary skills. Your high school course load can help you get into the proper higher education program after graduation.  As you'll be working with bodies, it's a good idea to stock up on science courses. Take classes in anatomy and biology. You should also look into courses in business, finance, and economics as much of your job revolves around managing finances. As your job requires a lot of time working with people, consider taking a course or two in psychology. This can help you learn how to read people better and help bereaved families manage emotions. It's a good idea to start gaining experience as early as possible. As a mortician, you'll need a wide range of skills to be successful. One important aspect of...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aprende sobre la profesión. Toma las clases adecuadas en la secundaria. Busca empleos a tiempo parcial en los que trabajes con las personas. Busca empleo en un hospital. Ten cuidado de estar preparado para los estragos emocionales del trabajo. Considera tu vida social.


If you become angry or defensive yourself, you will likely exacerbate the tantrum that the other person is having.  If you can keep yourself calm and rational, it's likely that you will be able to diffuse the temper of the other person. One of the most difficult parts of dealing with the emotions of another person—particularly someone who is a close friend or family member—is accepting that you cannot change the thoughts or actions of another person.  You can offer help and support, but you cannot actually control another person. Adults who are prone to temper tantrums are unlikely to be effective communicators.  You may have to ask the person what is causing them to be so upset.   Be calm and give him time to fully explain himself. Remember to be patient and persistent.  You could say, “I know you said that there is nothing wrong, but I can tell by the way you're acting that you are really upset.  Please talk to me about why you are upset so that I can help you if I am able to.  If you aren't ready to talk about it now, please remember that I am here when you are ready.” . It is important to express to the person having the tantrum that it is okay for them to feel the emotions that they are feeling.   Even if you do not agree with the way they are expressing their feelings (in a tantrum), you can tell them that what they are feeling is okay.  Accepting feelings (such as anger) as a normal part of life can often help people deal with the emotions in a healthier way. For example, you might say, “It seems to me that you are feeling angry or hurt because of the situation.  It's perfectly normal to feel that way; can we talk about how you feel and how we can make you feel better?”

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén la calma. Ten en cuenta que no puedes controlar a alguien más. Pregúntale qué le molesta. Valida las emociones de la persona.


If you began noticing full-screen issues immediately after installing an extension, chances are that the extension is to blame. Disabling (not removing) the extension may fix the problem. Chrome updates can also cause some older extensions to become unstable, which can result in unusual errors. Click or double-click the Chrome app icon, which resembles a red, yellow, green, and blue sphere. It's in the top-right corner of the window. A drop-down menu will appear. This is in the drop-down menu. Selecting it prompts a pop-out menu. It's at the top of the pop-out menu. Doing so opens the Extensions page. The switch will turn white, signifying that the extension has been disabled. Repeat this step for any other necessary extensions before proceeding. Once you've disabled any potentially problematic extensions (or all of your browser's extensions), go back to your video and click the "full-screen" icon in the bottom-right corner of the player. If an extension was causing the problem, the player should now be in full-screen with no problems.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comprende cuándo desactivar una extensión. Abre Google Chrome. Haz clic en el ⋮. Selecciona Más herramientas. Haz clic en Extensiones. Haz clic en el botón azul debajo de alguna extensión. Intenta usar el modo de pantalla completa de YouTube.


If you believe all men want a blonde with large breasts, you'll act like it. Every man is attracted to a different type of woman. Relax. Yours is out there.   Smile. Such a simple thing does wonders. Positive, smiling people light up a room and others are automatically attracted to them. Moods are contagious--if you make others feel good, they'll seek to be around you. Compliment others. This includes him! The old adage "What goes around comes around" is true. Cultivating an aura of positivity that others can benefit from will encourage them to return the favor. What's more, accept compliments with grace. If a guy tells you that you look nice, smile and say, "Thanks!" Don't brush off his statement or disagree with him. . Thinking you're awesome makes it easier for others to see you're awesome, too.  Think of all your positive attributes. Though nobody's perfect, we all have something others envy. Write down what you love about yourself and go over the list every day. Limit your complaining. We all struggle with our weight and with friends. If you have a problem, do talk about it--but don't fill empty silences with griping. Keeping your mind on bigger, happier things will make it easier to give off the impression you want. Be proud of your accomplishments. Did you ace that test? Score the most points in your last volleyball game? Go ahead, brag a little! Don't be afraid to talk about the impressive things you do. Make sure not to be self-centered. Being proud of yourself and conceited are two very different things.  Compare yourself to your former self, not to those around you. Make the goal to be better than who you were, not better than others in your life. There will always be people better and worse off than you. Keeping an open, welcoming stance will show any guy that you are approachable and ready to talk.  Make eye contact. Shying away from someone shows them that you're nervous and may not want to engage. Holding his gaze will let him know that you're interested and deserve his attention. Stay open and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sé positiva. Sé confiada. Cuida tu lenguaje corporal.


If you believe in animal rights, start acting on that principle in your daily life by taking animal products off your plate. This means learning to eat a mostly or entirely plant-based diet. Doing so puts your belief into practice while refusing to support industries that exploit animals.  There are many variations of plant-based diets. The most basic distinction is between vegetarians and vegans. Vegetarians generally don't eat meat or products that come from the body of an animal. Vegans avoid all animal-derived products, including eggs and dairy. Many products, like gelatin or artificial food colorings, contain animal byproducts that you wouldn't think. Take time to educate yourself about which surprising foods and ingredients you should be avoiding with the help of the Vegetarian Resource Group: http://www.vrg.org/ingredients/. Don't purchase products that contain animal byproducts or patronize companies that perform animal testing.  PETA publishes a list of companies that employ animal testing available here: http://www.mediapeta.com/peta/PDF/companiesdotest.pdf. Avoid these brands when you're shopping and instead opt for ones that explicitly advertise that they're vegan or cruelty-free. Be especially wary when it comes to your clothing and fashion. Many materials, like leather, silk, down, and wool, are animal-derived and their production processes involve high levels of animal cruelty. Instead, look for alternatives like cotton, hemp, faux fur, pleather, and other synthetic materials. Don't invest in companies that create animal-based products or use animal testing. Instead, put your money where your mouth is by investing in companies that are certified as cruelty-free. That way, you will have a direct impact on changing industries to observe animal rights. PETA also publishes a helpful list of animal-friendly companies that are worth buying from and investing in. Check it out here: http://www.mediapeta.com/peta/PDF/companiesdonttest.pdf.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Hazte vegano o vegetariano. Practica el consumismo libre de crueldad. Haz inversiones favorables para los animales.


If you believe that someone is using a fake social security card or number to work or obtain benefits, you can report that individual to the Office of the Inspector General of the Social Security Administration. Before you make such a report, however, it is necessary to gather certain information so that the SSA can make the most of your report.  You will want to compile a list of the suspect's name, address, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and the social security number they are using. The more information you can provide, the better. It will also be helpful to detail the circumstances of the fraud, including a basic description of what took place along with when and where the violation occurred. The SSA provides an online form you can use to submit a report of a person using a fake social security card or number. You can also reach the SSA by phone, mail, or fax. All of this information is available on the portion of the SSA's website dedicated to reporting fraud.  You have the option of remaining anonymous when reporting a social security violation. Your identity will only be released to relevant officials on a need-to-know basis. However, the SSA warns that remaining anonymous may hamper its ability to conduct a thorough investigation. You will not be updated on the status of your report unless the SSA has need to question you directly.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reúne la información necesaria. Denuncia una infracción ante la SSA.


If you believe that that SSN was stolen and you are the victim of identity theft you need to place fraud alerts with your credit agencies right away. Contact a credit reporting company (Equifax, Experian or TransUnion) and ask them to place a fraud alert on your credit file. The company will notify the other credit agencies so that each one has the same information.  The fraud alert will stay in place for 90 days, and can be renewed after that time. You should also request your free credit reports to see whether fraudulent credit card use has affected your credit. The FTC Consumer Complaint website is https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov. Make sure the “s” is in the web address. If your Social Security number has been compromised, contact the FTC first. The FTC collects information that can lead to an investigation or prosecution but does not resolve individual cases. After you have done so, a list of options will appear to the left. These include “I am a victim of identity theft” and “Someone tried to use my personal info.” Click on the appropriate option. The Complaint Assistant website will walk you through the appropriate process for your situation. The complaint process contains several sections. These will vary depending on the type of complaint you are filing.  For example, if you have lost your purse or wallet, you can file a complaint that will record the loss. This may help you protect against later identity theft. The “Getting Started” section is designed to make sure you selected the appropriate option and specifically determine your current situation. Single questions will appear with multiple choice answer options. Choose the option that best fits your situation. The more information you provide, the more likely it is that your complaint will be useful in preventing or stopping identity theft. The sections of the complaint will ask you to fill in information about your own lost or stolen information, anything you may know of the suspected identity thief, and any financial losses you have...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Notifica a los organismos de crédito. Presenta una queja ante la Comisión Federal de Comercio (FTC, por sus siglas en inglés). Selecciona la pestaña “Robo de identidad” que está en la parte superior de la columna de la izquierda. Responde las preguntas y brinda información. Proporciona tanta información como te sea posible. Llama a la policía para presentar un informe.


If you believe that your partner plans to propose to you, give him or her the chance to carry out a plan. Don't try to rush the process along. Don't give any indication that you expect it. If you find out for certain that your partner is planning to propose, you can take two approaches. You can address the situation up-front and tell your partner that you know, or you can wait for the proposal and do your best to act surprised. Consider which scenario will work best within your relationship dynamic. If you know that your significant other is planning to propose, try to keep it to yourself. Restrain your excitement; don't tell your friends, your parents, or even strangers. Nothing is certain. You might be embarrassed or disappointed if you build the situation up in your head. Think about your life, career, and relationship goals; your maturity level and your personal finances; your significant other. Ask yourself whether getting married is the right choice for you right now. If you say yes, you should do so wholeheartedly, without any doubts. Explore your misgivings, if you have any, and determine how valid they are.  Search your soul. Make a list of pros and cons, or journal your thoughts, or speak with a trusted confidante. It is perfectly reasonable to do a bit of soul-searching before making such a huge decision. If you find yourself uncertain, do not feel pressured to accept the proposal. You can always ask your partner to give you time. You can keep the relationship in your life without committing to a marriage just yet. You don't need to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No arruines la sorpresa. No te apresures. Asegúrate de que tu respuesta sea "Sí".


If you believe you are having heart problems, you should schedule an appointment with a cardiologist. Your cardiologist will be able to counsel you on what the next steps should be and what tests they want you to undergo. If you don’t have a cardiologist, schedule an appointment with your primary care provider and they will give you a referral to a cardiologist if you need one. You’ll need an appointment with a cardiologist or a hospital to get the monitor. Typically, a monitor is worn for 24 to 48 hours, but this timeframe can increase up to several weeks at your doctor’s discretion. Your doctor will prescribe the required time for you.  Your doctor will generally want to do an Electrocardiogram (EKG) and an Echocardiogram before resorting the Holter monitor. The EKG and the Echo will give your cardiologist a reading of your heart’s activity in that moment. But your doctor may want a prolonged, more detailed reading. Some common reasons people end up wearing a Holter monitor include suspecting they have an irregular arrhythmia or checking to see if various medication is working effectively. When you go to pick up your monitor for the first time, the tech may put it on for you. If they do, they will affix sticky patches to your skin that help get a more clear reading. If the tech only gives you the monitor, you will have to attach it yourself.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Decide si debes ir con el cardiólogo. Programa una cita con el cardiólogo. Ve por el monitor.


If you believe your dog has had a stroke, the first thing to do is keep calm. Your dog will need your help in order to survive, so keep your wits about you and focus on helping your pup. Put the dog in a quiet, warm environment. Make him or her as comfortable as possible by placing it on a padded bed and removing nearby furniture it could hurt itself on.  If your dog is unable to stand, turn it to lie on the opposite side of its body every half an hour to reduce the risk of pneumonia because of blood pooling in one side of his lungs. Put water near your dog so it can drink without getting up. If it doesn't want to drink for a long time, wipe its gums with a wet cloth to give it some moisture. If this emergency happens on a weekend or late at night, call your vets emergency line. If you get not response, you may need to find an emergency veterinary clinic to take your dog to. Make note of your dog's symptoms so you can relay them to the veterinarian over the phone. It's important to know the strength and length of symptoms, so that you can properly communicate the severity of your dog's condition to the vet. The priorities for treatment of a dog that has had a stroke include minimizing swelling to the brain and maximizing oxygen to the brain. This will be done with medication and medical care. In addition, your veterinary office will be able to take care of secondary concerns, such as keeping your dog hydrated and comfortable.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén la calma. Asegúrate de que tu perro esté cómodo. Llama a su veterinario y pide una cita urgente. Conoce los procesos que el veterinario realizará para ayudar a tu mascota.


If you bid farewell on a general level to your department or the entire company, and it would be too difficult or complicated to do it door-to-door, graciously thank everyone in the organization. You should include people you didn't really know that well in order to foster a sense of company pride. An email may include something like: Dear coworkers: As you may have heard, I will be leaving my position as (your position) tomorrow. I just wanted to say that it has been a pleasure working with all of you. I would love to stay in contact and can be reached at (your email) or on my LinkedIn profile. Cheers to the great times we have had working together. Sincerely, (Your Name). You might be tempted to openly write about the bitter times, particularly if you were fired. However, it is advised that you keep a positive tone in order to present yourself in the best possible light. Being positive will also make it more likely that you will be able to network with your coworkers in the future. It is always wise to end on a happy note so try to be as positive about your  experience at the company as possible. This is especially important if you are sending this email to your boss. It should not be a long essay, but a few sentences. There is no need to disclose the actual reason for your leaving at length. If people have questions, you might encourage them to contact you directly or in person. Only mention that you are moving forward and have decided to try your hand at another career. Your goodbye email can end with your contact details. Clearly mention your mobile number, email address and Linkedin ID through which you can keep in contact with your coworkers. However, do not share your personal contact information if you are not comfortable doing so. You could also consider selecting only a few coworkers to share your information with. An email can be an easy way of getting everyone on the same thread and sharing info together, to make sure you'll all be able to get together in the future. Once you have finalized your...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz que tu correo electrónico para toda la empresa sea inclusivo. Conserva un tono positivo. El correo electrónico debe ser breve y directo al grano. Si deseas, incluye tu información de contacto. Lee tu mensaje antes de enviarlo. Habla con tus amigos cercanos en persona.


If you book a flight with a layover, do your homework ahead of time by checking out the airport website for information. Find out if there are restaurants, shops, or other activities to pass the time. Some airports (usually those in larger cities) have theatres, museums, gyms, and even play areas for the kids. If there's a map, print it and mark what you want to see when you get there. While you're on the airport website, see if there's a service that allows you to deposit your baggage for the duration of your layover. Many airports offer this service, and it's helpful not to have to haul around the rest of the baggage for your trip, especially if you are leaving the airport to check out some of the local sites. Typically, this service isn’t free. Depending on how long your layover is and what you plan to do while there, you may find the price tag more than worth it. Most airlines at major airports have VIP clubs or lounges where you can enjoy a relaxing, luxurious environment complete with food and drink. VIP clubs also offer services needed for an "office away from the office,” such as reliable Wi-Fi access and desk-like cubbies where you can set up your laptop and work materials.  If you are an infrequent flyer, inquire about a one-day pass.  Membership can run as much as several hundred dollars a year, so unless you travel a great deal, it probably isn’t worth it to become a full-fledged club member. If you plan on getting some work done, bring your computer and other necessary supplies. Pack gym shorts and a t-shirt if your airport has a fitness center. Add a few small toiletries so you can freshen up before boarding your next flight. Being able to wash your face and brush your teeth during a long layover can make a huge difference in how you feel.  Stay within airport guidelines by only carrying on liquid toiletries that are under three ounces apiece.  If you’re traveling with children, bring along a coloring book or video game that will keep them occupied, too.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Investiga el aeropuerto en donde vayas a estar durante la escala. Averigua las opciones para el equipaje. Únete al club VIP de la aerolínea. Lleva en tu maleta de mano lo que necesitarás durante la escala.


If you both like to dance and spend time partying, offer to be her date. It may be reassuring for her at first to have someone familiar by her side, while the rhythm of the party and the natural excitement of the event might help to turn things your way. Spending time together at the party can put your relationship in a whole new light. Use your body language to get closer to her as you get stronger signals that she's interested. Lean your shoulders towards her, lean on her very gently, face her often and use touch frequently. Again, hugs are always good! Take note of how she responds when you try to get closer to her. If she welcomes the closeness and seems comfortable with it, then you're on the right track.  Take care not to fall into or on her, to grab her or to squeeze or hold her too hard.  Play footsie. This should only happen when you are sure she's got the message and has started to reciprocate your amorous intent. It's cheeky, titillating and fun when the moment is right. Don't spend too much time around her. Instead, spend lots of time, and then none for a while, then more again, and flirt while you are there. While you are gone, she is given a chance to think about you, which hopefully she will. This will also help you play hard to get. If she knows that you'll always be available, then she'll be less likely to want to hang out with you. Spend more time with her when she is happy than when she is sad. This helps her to associate happiness with you. If you are successful in making her your girlfriend, that's when it becomes important to support her when she needs it. Gradually increase your flirting ways, provided you're getting the right signals in return. Let things happen naturally. Tease her a bit, be playful, touch her lightly, and just treat her differently than you would other girls. Let her see that you're not just flirtatious for the sake of it, but that you're directing your romantic feelings toward her. As you are getting closer to her, and maybe you feel like she feels a little...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Invítala a las fiestas. Cierra la brecha. Déjala deseando más de tu presencia. Coquetea. Presta atención a su interés en ti.


If you broke up with someone, you can offer them an explanation. If someone comes to you asking for closure, kindly explain why you wanted to end the relationship. This can help the other person grieve and move forward.  You don't have to be cruel with the person. Remember to phrase things tactfully. You can also give a partial truth. For example, you found the person a little boring and therefore did not want a longterm relationship with them. It's a bad idea to say, "You just kind of bored me as a person, so I wanted to be with someone else." Instead, tell the person you just didn't think the two of you were compatible long term. This is true, without being cruel. For example, "I'm just at an age where I'm looking for something longterm. I really liked you a lot, and spending time with you was great, but I felt like it wasn't going to work out in the long run." You want to make sure the person you broke up with still feels valued. A breakup can really affect someone's self-esteem and sense of self. When breaking up with someone, make sure to let them know you still value them as a person, even if you don't want a romantic relationship. Try saying something to the person along the lines of, " You've been an important person in my life and I still care about you, but this is not working out for me because…" The person you're breaking up with may have some questions for you. It's okay to let the person ask certain things. However, repeatedly answering the same questions will not do any good. It's not good for you or the other person if you are just going around in circles. You both need space and time to heal.  Try to give answers that do not invite further questions and discussion. For example, "I want kids and you don't." Or, "I know you have goals to move up the career ladder and move out of the country. I don't want that for myself." Avoid giving answers like, “I don't know what happened, but I'm not in love with you anymore.” You can also invite the other person to ask questions if they're curious. For...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Explica por qué terminaron las cosas. Hazle saber a la otra persona que todavía te importa. Permite que la otra persona haga preguntas al inicio. Reduce poco a poco la comunicación.


If you buy any fruits and vegetables for your rabbit, make sure to rinse them under clean, running water before using them in recipes. You do not want your rabbit to ingest any pesticides or other potential harmful substances. Adding table sugar to rabbit treats can cause obesity and dental problems. If you want to sweeten your rabbit's treats, use fruit or natural sugars like those found in honey, but use sparingly and only every once in a while. Recipes that require you to dip treats in sweetened yogurt should be avoided. While your rabbit may enjoy the sweet foods, he could easily get sick from added sugar. Treats are not a replacement for healthy rabbit pellets. Never overfeed your rabbit. Give him only one or two treats at a time and store the rest for later use.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lava las frutas y vegetales antes de usarlos. Nunca uses azúcar común o de mesa. No sobrealimentes a tu conejo.


If you buy it premade, look for all-purpose compound which can be used for all coats. If you make your own, use setting-type compound powder and follow the instructions provided on the container. All of these compounds can be found at a hardware store. Setting-type compound powder is more difficult to sand and to prepare properly so it is not the best option for beginners. The “V” shape will help keep the compound in place. Remove any debris inside the crack with a vacuum hose or by simply scraping it out. Use a 3 to 4 in (7.6 to 10.2 cm) putty knife. Let the compound dry completely between coats. Layer on as many coats as necessary to fill the crack. The average is 3 coats.  Depending on what type of compound you use, it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 24 hours to dry.  If the cut is deeper than 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm), you may need to press a strip of mesh or paper tape into the first layer of compound before it dries to better seal the crack.  Thinner coats are ideal as they're easier to sand down to match the wall once dry. Use a sanding block to smooth out the section to the flatness of the wall. Always wear a dust mask when sanding to avoid inhaling particles.  80-grit (medium-grit) sandpaper can eliminate larger bumps whereas a finer 120-grit can be used for finishing touches.  One option is to sand in between coats to avoid having to sand as much at the end. If you don't use primer first, your patched area won't blend in properly with the rest of the wall. The exception to this is if you used a paint and primer in one. Then you only need a coat or two of the paint directly on the affected area.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra compuesto para juntas preparado o mézclalo tú mismo. Corta una muesca en forma de "V" por 6 o 3 mm (1⁄4 o 1⁄8 de pulgada) a lo largo de la grieta. Aplica capas de compuesto para juntas sobre la grieta. Lija el compuesto seco para juntas con un papel de lija de grano medio. Pinta sobre la grieta con imprimación de látex y luego con pintura de pared.


If you buy water from the pet store that is made for aquariums, you may not need to treat it.  Tap water will require treatment to ensure it is safe for shrimp.  Test your chlorine levels using a test you get from a pet store.  If chlorine is present, use a commercial dechlorinator to remove all traces of it. Nitrate and ammonia levels should be zero.  Pet stores sell water treatment kits to help reduce nitrate and ammonia. The pH range of your water should stay within 6.0 and 7.5. Before you begin filling the tank and installing fixtures, check your tank for leaks.  Fill the tank a few inches and wait to see if the seals hold.  You can do this with untreated water if you intend to empty it again.  New fist tanks should always be checked for leaks before placing animals in them. Filling the tank completely before you check for leaks could lead to a much larger mess if the seal on the tank fails. A planted food set up requires the inclusion of living plants inside your shrimp tank.  A non-planted tank will need more attention, as you will need to feed the shrimp yourself.  Low-light planted tanks can grow moss and ferns to provide their shrimp with a food source. Higher-light planted setups can use living substrates and grow Rotala on the walls of the tank to provide shrimp with food. Non-planted setups will need less water quality maintenance, but will require you to feed the shrimp yourself more often. You will need to choose the correct form of lighting for you tank based on the plants you have chosen. Be aware that some light options may increase the temperature of your tank's water.  Non-planted tanks will only need a common LED tank light available at most pet stores. Planted setups will need lighting appropriate for your choices in plants.  Metal Halides, fluorescents or LED lights are all good options. Look for light sources that are around 6500 kelvins to approximate the sun's rays for plant growth. Before adding any shrimp, you will need to cycle your tank for some time.  Cycling is simply allowing...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trata el agua según sea necesario a fin de que sea segura para los camarones. Llena el tanque y revísalo para ver si hay fugas. Elige entre una instalación de alimentación con o sin plantas. Añade iluminación para los camarones y las plantas. Cicla el tanque durante 2 a 8 semanas.


If you can afford a family law attorney, you should consider hiring one to help you navigate the custody process. See this article for directions on how to find a good family law attorney. Even if you cannot afford a full-service attorney, many attorneys provide limited services at a reasonable cost. This means you may be able to hire an attorney to prepare your documents, give you limited legal advice, or potentially even teach you about this area of the law, without having to pay the attorney to take on the entire custody process. You will file your petition for joint custody in the same court you opened your family law case in. Generally, you will open your family law case in the country where your child lives. This is true even if you live in a different county. In order to petition the court for joint custody of your child, you will have to fill out a request for an order. This form will require you to divulge information including your request for custody and the facts supporting your request. These facts should indicate why you deserve custody of the child and how your custody request will be in the best interest of that child. Because you are petitioning the court for joint custody, you will need to decide what type of custody you are going to seek. You could seek either physical or legal custody, or you could seek to share either or both of those duties with the other parent. Regardless, because you are filing for joint custody, you will not be asking for full control of both the legal and the physical responsibilities of the child. Once you have filled out the required forms to request a custody trial, you will want to review them carefully. These forms are going to be the basis of your custody argument, so you want to make sure they have been filled out accurately and completely. If you will not have the help of an attorney, consider using some of the free legal resources available to you. For example, in California, you can contact a family law facilitator or a self-help center for assistance with...

If you can afford to let the shaving cream rest on your face a while before you attack it with a razor blade, you'll notice the difference. The shaving cream will continue moisturizing your whiskers, leaving them soft and wet.

If you can do your job from anywhere, then your employer may agree to let you work remotely. Explain to your employer that this is also a benefit for them, as it saves them some overhead costs. This can allow you to work from anywhere without switching jobs.  Remote employees help an employer save overhead costs because workplace costs, such as electricity, office supplies, and rent, may go down. Additionally, they won’t need to purchase your materials, such as your computer or printer. If your workplace sometimes holds meetings, explain that you can attend them via services like Skype. Some companies already offer remote work, including for new hires. Search for these types of jobs online, then put in your application. You may be able to secure a great position that allows you to work from anywhere you like. You can look for work on sites like Indeed, Monster, ZipRecruiter, and FlexJobs. Freelancing may be a great option for you if you have a skill that you can do online in exchange for money, such as writing, editing, marketing, photography, graphic design, programming, IT, or web design. Start your own business and look for jobs on freelancing websites. Alternatively, you could create an online store that sells items you make or locally sourced goods from your travels abroad.  You can look for freelancing jobs on sites like Upwork, Freelancer, or Fiverr. If you plan to sell items online, make sure you have access to the space and materials you need to create and store your products. Consulting is similar to freelancing, as clients will pay you to share your expertise. Provide your consultation services either online or over the phone. If you travel often, you may also visit clients on occasion.  For instance, you might provide financial advice, IT training or support, engineering services, or human resources or management consultations. English teachers are in demand around the world, so you can travel the world teaching. Take a job with a company that hires English teachers, or look for teaching jobs...

If you can drive your vehicle home, remove it from the scene of the accident first. If your vehicle is inoperable, call your insurance company from the scene. When you call your insurance company to report the accident, a representative will ask you for information, including the year, make, model, and a description of the damage.  The representative will probably begin calculating the likelihood that your case is a total loss, but will not necessarily tell you that he or she is doing these calculations. The representative will arrange to have your vehicle towed from the scene of the accident, but if your car is likely to be a total loss according to the calculations, your car may be towed directly to a salvage yard to save the insurance company the cost of having to tow the car a from a garage to a salvage yard after the claim is settled. Always ask where your car will be towed, and ask to have it delivered to a garage or mechanic instead of a salvage yard. Once your insurance company inspects the car or performs more calculations, they will contact you with their decision. If they deem your car to be totaled, they will offer you a sum of money based on what they believe the car was worth prior to the collision. The insurer will typically ask that you assign title to the car to the insurance company when they pay the claim. They can then sell the car to a salvage yard to offset their expenses. Most states set a "total loss threshold" by law. If the cost of repair is less than the threshold, then the insurance company cannot declare a total loss and must pay for repairs. The threshold ranges from 100% of the car's value down to 50% in different states. If there is no threshold set by law, then the insurer will total the car if the cost of repair plus the salvage value is greater than the value of the vehicle before the collision. The insurance company's decision to total your car and offer you a certain sum is based on a written report. Ask the representative to mail or email you a copy of the report. Then...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Llama a la compañía de seguros. Espera la decisión. Solicita el informe y revísalo.


If you can find a button in your window that exits full-screen mode, you can simply click it and then click the - button in the top-right corner of the window to minimize it. Double-clicking most video player windows (e.g., VLC or YouTube) will take you out of full-screen mode. If you're watching a video or viewing photos in full-screen mode, this key will exit full-screen mode. Pressing this key, which resembles the Windows logo, will force the desktop's taskbar to display at the bottom of the screen. You can then click the full-screen program's icon to minimize it, or you can press the "Show Desktop" bar in the far-right corner of the taskbar. This will exit any full-screen windows and minimize each window to the taskbar. Keep in mind that re-opening any of these windows will prompt them to resume in full-screen mode. Press ⊞ Win+⇧ Shift+M to open all minimized programs again. Especially if you're playing a game that's freezing, pressing this combination of keys will almost always take you out of the window. To get to the desktop:  Click Task Manager. Click the Processes tab. Click the full-screen program. Click End task. If you're encountering a full-screen program that won't close, press and hold your computer's Power button (or, if it's a desktop, remove the power cable) until the computer shuts down. When you restart your computer, all previously open windows will be closed.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca el botón para salir de la "Pantalla completa". Presiona Esc para salir del modo de pantalla completa. Utiliza la tecla de Windows (⊞ Win) para mostrar la barra de tareas.

If you can find an external vent, put down a fan heater blowing warm air into the vent. Use a cardboard box or tarp to minimize the amount of heat lost to the surrounding air. Crank the heat in the house to around 75 to 80ºF (24–27ºC) and wait two to three hours. Open closet and cabinet doors so the warm air circulates as close to the walls as possible. Unfortunately, this is often necessary to reach a frozen pipe before it bursts. Follow the instructions in the locating pipes section to isolate the most likely area of the problem. Use a keyhole saw to cut a hole into this area, then use any of the methods in the section on unfreezing pipes. If this is a recurring problem, consider installing a cabinet door over the hole instead of fully repairing the wall, for ease of access next time this occurs.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Enciende un calentador de aire y haz pasar el calor por las ventilaciones externas. Enciende la calefacción central. Haz un hoyo en la pared.


If you can get onto a climbable ledge, then keep going on it as far as you can. See if it takes you anywhere. Possibly there is a point at which the programming got sloppy and you fall or climb through into something else of interest. In some games, walls become transparent when certain things happen, such as when moving items, interacting with players or using special actions such as teleporting or decorating. Perhaps there are particular joins or fissures in walls that create weak spots where you can pass through what is normally solid. If you notice that your weapon, tool or other object that you're holding can go through a wall, then try to go through as well. It could be a sign of a way to glitch into the wall or out of the zone, level, map or area that you're currently in. Rocks and other big scenery are often the best place to try to find glitches. Sometimes the game developers get lazy and don't set up barriers there.  If you go to a rock to try to glitch into it or out of a map, try to go to the most obscure edge of it. The most protruding edge that is obviously different from the others could be the key to getting inside it. If you are new to glitching, try not to go for the hard glitches like going out of map or under map. Try to get on roofs for a while, and then move on to advanced glitches. Such barriers usually lead to roofs or other places the game developers didn't want you to go. Ask yourself, "I wonder if there is a way to get up there." Consider what your game character might be able to use to get there, such as barrels, vines, tree branches, bouncing kangaroos, whatever! Give it all a go––you never know until you've tried. Most glitches happen in areas you're not meant to be playing. Games testing occurs with a focus on playing the game "correctly", following a set sequence with expected outcomes. You can turn this on its head by playing it the opposite of what may have been intended, such as approaching things from a different direction or angle, trying to invert the usual things or...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escala una cornisa. Intenta atravesar muros. Revisa las cosas grandes. Si encuentras una barrera invisible, intenta rodearla. Busca un lugar que sería imposible de alcanzar de otra manera. Juega de manera incorrecta. Intenta pausar.


If you can hear sound from your headphones after resetting the phone, there might be debris in the headphone port.  This debris might be sending a false signal to the phone that the headphones are plugged in, thus preventing sound from playing from the speakers.  Disconnect your headphones from your iPhone prior to cleaning the headphone port. Remove the cotton from one end of the cotton swab by pinching one end with your thumb and forefinger, then pulling your hands apart to remove the balled cotton.  Once removed, discard the cotton.  Pinch the same end again, loosely this time.  Roll the cotton swab along its axis to spool some of the loose cotton upon itself.  Put the cotton swab in the headphone jack.  Gently guide the narrow end of the cotton swab into the headphone jack.  Turn the cotton swab around a few times, then remove it.  Test the speakers to see if they work.  Scrubbing the headphone jack with a cotton swab is the easiest and most common way to clean the headphone port. Do not dampen the end of the cotton swab with water or rubbing alcohol.  This could damage your iPhone. Lay the phone on a flat surface.  Place the phone in such a position that its headphone port faces you.  Aim the canned air nozzle at the headphone port from the distance recommended by the canned air’s directions label.  Squeeze briefly, then release the handle.  Canned oxygen is a common tool used to clean PC parts, and you should be able to buy some at your local computer or electronics shop. If these steps don't fix the headphone jack on your iPhone, check inside the jack to make sure there are no foreign objects lodged there. Stuck objects may need to be carefully removed using a long, skinny tool like a paperclip or straw.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Conecta los auriculares. Usa un hisopo. Usa aire comprimido.


If you can listen to music at work, why not put on some tunes that will get your heart pumping and make you want to dance? It's a surefire way to beat the mid-afternoon slump. Your body responds naturally to changes in light, so if it's unnaturally dark where you're working or sleeping it may make staying alert a lot harder.  Conversely, if you keep on too many lights, your body won’t be able to tell when it’s truly tired -- and it will need more rest as you’re quitting caffeine. Try keeping your blinds open a bit so you'll wake up naturally in the morning or adding a few extra low lights to your workspace to keep you from feeling sleepy throughout the day. Slumping down at your desk isn't doing you any favors in the alertness category. Sitting up, in an ergonomically friendly way, can make you feel more alert and ready to work. Consider standing up while you work or bring a yoga ball to the office to sit on.  Why not include a sit-in workout to increase your energy level?

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escucha canciones que tengan ritmos energéticos. Enciende o apaga las luces. Deja de encorvarte.


If you can live with the annoyance of unlisted numbers ringing you up all the time, one of your easiest options is to simply pay no attention to them. Put your phone on silent, or decline the call with the push of a button and continue going about your day as usual. This may be the most straightforward solution for those who are only the target of the occasional robocall violation.  Some people are rarely or never bugged by automated calls. It may be worth it for these lucky folks to just disregard the annoyance. Get in the habit of ignoring all calls from numbers you don’t recognize. Unless you have to list your phone number on a certain form or application, don’t. By putting down your number willingly, you might be either expressly or implicitly agreeing to surrender it for sales purposes, and you never know where it will end up.  Withhold your number any time you’re told that it will be used to inform you of “special offers,” or when you think it might be used for promotional reasons. If you have the option, provide another piece of contact info, such as a personal email address, instead of your phone number. Emails are less intrusive and easier to deal with than repeated calls. Take a close look at the fine print of emails and documents and see what they say about your right to privacy. Oftentimes, people give out their phone numbers with no understanding of what they might be used for, and are then dismayed when they’re confronted with voice messages about low-interest credit card rates. Signing one of these documents gives the issuer written permission to route automated calls to your number.  The reason you get so many robocall may be because you unwittingly agreed to them them at an earlier time. Beware of providing your phone number to solicitors, shopping websites, or any time you schedule a particular service. The next time you get an automated call, listen until the end to see if there’s an extension you can call about having your number removed from whatever list you’re on. If not, call the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ignóralas. No des tu número de teléfono. Lee los acuerdos cuidadosamente. Solicita a la persona que llama que te deje en paz.


If you can mow your own lawn, and all the lawns that surround your parents' house, you're in good shape. You can do all the lawns at once, rake all the leaves, and take care of the yards at the same time. It's like one long day of work in which you an get paid several times.  If you don't live somewhere with many yards, you can still do this. Just get a ride to a neighborhood where you can get as many yards as possible in the same neighborhood. The closer together the yards, the easier your job is. Elderly neighbors will be the most willing to hire young kids to do this. . One great way to make money in the summer months is to ask as many of your neighbors as you can if you can mow their lawn for them. Lawn-mowing can be a serious hassle, and you can make some serious money doing it in your spare time.  Ask your parents to stake you to equipment costs, if you don't have access to the mower yourself. Ask for an old mower for your birthday.  In some cases, people might want you to use their equipment, if it's available. If you can use their lawn mower, all the better. Set aside some money for materials. You'll need to pay to have the gas tank filled and ready to go, if you're mowing lawns. Or, see if your parents won't help you pay for gas. . In late summer and early fall, you'll start mowing less and less, but your clients will need other things done around the yard. Get ready to rake leaves, bag them, and clean up the yard of other debris, like acorns, twigs, and pinecones. For this job, all you need is a sturdy rake and some leaf bags. In some cases, you might not even need the bags. Cheap, light, and easy. . Once the fall turns to winter, business can dry up for the lawnmower. But, snow needs to be taken care of in lots of regions. Don't stop working when it gets cold. Get yourself a good snow shovel and offer to shovel out the driveways and walks of your neighbors. . After a long winter, gutters tend to get clogged up and need a good cleaning. Mostly, this just involves removing the gunky leaves and twigs...

If you can prevent an encounter with a bear, the rest of the steps are unnecessary. Bears are reclusive creatures, and they generally prefer to steer clear of humans. You can help them to do so by announcing your presence when you're exploring their home environment: talk loudly, sing, or carry "bear bells" so bears have time to escape you.  There are very few records of bears ever attacking a group of people, so stick together. When alone, making noise or having a bear bell is a near essential, especially if there have been reports of bears nearby. If you see bear tracks, make a detour or leave the area. Avoid surprising bears -- if you see one in the distance, keep your ground and stay away. Let the bear move on before proceeding. If a bear changes its behavior because of you, then you are too close.  When you actually see a bear, you want to reduce your noise. Be calm and quiet, letting it stay about its business. This is especially important with young, "harmless" bears. A mother may be nearby, which can spell big trouble. Even if bears seem sick or hurt, stay clear and call a ranger. Bears will defend two things -- their young, and their most recent meal. If you find any carcasses, especially fresh ones, give them a wide berth and immediately leave the area. Bears know a lot better than to mess with humans, and they will rarely see you as a food source. But your dogs may not be so fortunate, especially if they regard the bear as a threat. No matter how well you think your dog is trained, leave it at home when traveling in bear country. If you must have your pet with you, make sure they are leashed -- no exceptions. Come prepared to both avoid bears and deal with them in the rare case that they become agitated. Remember that, when camping, both food and food waste need to be contained, as the smell of wrappers and remains can attract the animals. Bears are not quite as unpredictable as everyone claims they are. Like humans, they have a variety of maneuvers and body language ticks that can help you read...

If you can prove that you’re witty and capable of snappy answers and fun banter, the girl will be impressed by your flirting style. Show her that you can play ball by knowing how to make punchy or clever remarks at the right moment. Here are some great ways to impress the girl with your wit:  Show that you can keep up the banter. If she's firing a sarcastic or clever comment at you, fire one back. Be original. Part of being witty is finding a new way to think about old topics. Don't tell her something any guy could say. Understand your audience. If the girl is really smart and clever, you can make a sophisticated reference in an unusual way. But if she doesn't seem as well-read, don't try to impress her with your knowledge, or she won't get it. Guys who are truly funny are hard to come by, so you should make yourself stand out by showing your funny side. There are a few ways that you can use your humor to flirt and to get closer with the girl.  Work on your delivery. Time your jokes so you don't interrupt the girl or lose the flow of conversation. If she says something funny, don't ever say, "Oh, that's hilarious." Instead, match her sense of humor with a funny comment of your own. Don't overdo it. If you're trying too hard to be funny, the girl will know. Learn to make fun of yourself. Girls like guys who are comfortable enough to know they aren't flawless and who don't take life so seriously. Being confident is the key to being able to charm a girl and to flirt with her from the moment you open your mouth. If you’re confident and comfortable with who you are and what you do, you’ll find it much easier to flirt with her.  Be positive. Talk about the things you love -- your job, your interests, or your friends. If you're negative about everything, you'll come off as unhappy with who you are. Don't be self-deprecating. Making fun of yourself lightly is different from calling yourself a loser or talking about how you'll never be able to get a good job. Talk about something you're good at, whether it's sailing...

Impresiónala con tu ingenio. Demuestra tu sentido del humor. Sé confiado, no arrogante.


If you can reach the lowest branch, grip it with one hand and wrap the other arm around the trunk. Place your feet on a sturdy gnarl, or grip the sides of the trunk with your thighs and calves. If the branch is too high to reach easily, try these advanced techniques instead:  If you need to jump to grab the branch, do so right next to the trunk. See the next step for advice on how to get on top of the branch. If you have strong legs, you can climb trees with a higher lowest branch. Run with moderate speed at the trunk. Plant the ball of your dominant foot on the tree and push upward against the tree while jumping with the other foot. Throw your arms up to catch the branch, or use one arm to grab the trunk and one to grab the branch. Now you're holding the branch from underneath. Depending on the height of the branch and the number of nearby footholds, you may be able to get on top of it just by pulling yourself up. Here are a couple techniques that help with more challenging trees:  Pull Up: Pull yourself up so both biceps and forearms are resting on the branch. Swing and lift to get your elbows up on the branch, or all the way to your lower stomach if you have enough upper body strength. Swing your legs up to straddle the branch. Leg Swing: Grip the branch with both hands. Swing one leg up and over the branch. Wrap your arms around the branch so your biceps are on top. Swing your free leg backwards while pressing down with your biceps to swing yourself on top of the branch. If you can't reach any branches at all, try the coconut palm techniques until you reach the lowest branch. Once you're on top of a large branch, look for a secure route to the next one. Grip branches as close to the trunk as possible. If a branch is less than 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter, do not use it for more than one limb. When placing your foot on a small branch like this, wedge it perpendicular to the branch, where it meets the trunk.  Avoid broken branch stubs and dead branches. Dead wood may break without warning. If the bark is...

If you can see a cactus needle clearly, grip the end of it with a pair of tweezers and pull it out. To avoid snapping the needle, do your best to remove it in a single, straight motion. If the needle gets buried deep under your skin, locate the tip furthest away from the entry wound and gently push it out. Glochids are thin, hairlike cactus needles that are shorter and less rigid than regular cactus spines. To remove them, put on protective gardening gloves and wad up a pair of nylon pantyhose. Then, rub the hose against the affected area to pull out the glochids. When dealing with glochids, nylon hose provides all the adhesive power of duct tape without causing any unwanted skin irritation. Using a cotton swab, tongue depressor, or other small applicator, apply a large amount of rubber cement to the pierced area. Let the adhesive dry, then pull the edges of the cement up slowly and carefully. Repeat the process multiple times to remove as many needles as possible.  Your drying time will vary based on which brand of rubber cement you use. You may feel some slight pain as the adhesive dries. To combat this, take a standard dose of an over-the-counter painkiller like acetaminophen. After removing the cactus needles from your skin, clean the pierced area with fresh water for 5 to 10 minutes. Once you’ve removed as much dirt and debris as you can, apply antibiotic cream to the wound and cover the entire affected area with gauze wrap or a bandage.  For safety, wash your hands with antibacterial soap before cleaning the wound. If you see any cactus hairs in the wound site, pick them out using tweezers sterilized with antibacterial soap. Until the wound heals, change your bandage at least once a day or whenever it becomes dirty or wet. Visit a doctor if you can’t get cactus needles out of your arms, legs, or any other non-sensitive areas of your body. If you get cactus needles stuck in your neck, throat, or any other sensitive spots that you can’t easily remove them from, head to the emergency room as soon as...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Saca las espinas de cactus normales con pinzas. Quita los gloquidios utilizando una media de nailon. Saca las espinas persistentes con pegamento de caucho. Venda la herida una vez que hayas retirado las espinas. Busca asistencia médica en caso de no poder sacar las espinas por tu cuenta.


If you can suggest a possible cause of your friend’s odor—even if it’s a white lie—it might help him or her feel like you’re being helpful rather than just critical. Some possibilities include:  Bad breath could be caused by certain foods, such as garlic. Food odors might also linger on clothing. Try saying something like: “Wow, that pizza must have been heavy on the garlic, because I can kind of smell it on you. When that happens to me, I make sure to wear X kind of deodorant.” Synthetic fabrics like nylon can retain moisture and odor more than natural fibers like cotton and wool. If your friend is wearing synthetic fabrics, mention the odor problem and say that it happens to you when you wear fabrics like that unless you wash them frequently, wear plenty of deodorant, etc. Many people are susceptible to body odor after hard physical labor, playing sports, or exercising.  Heat can cause people to sweat, which can contribute to body odor. Say the problem might be caused by the weather, if it is really hot and/or humid. Some people sweat more when they're nervous. Suggest that maybe your friend is stressed about something, and that is causing sweating and an odor problem. Remember that certain illnesses and medications can cause body odor. Since health can be another sensitive issue, you might not want to discuss these causes as a possibility unless your friend brings it up first. People are very often unaware of their own smell, whether it is good or bad. Mentioning to your friend that it’s not his or her fault if he or she wasn’t aware of the odor problem shows sympathy and can make the talk easier. You can mention again that it has happened to you, too. If a person thinks that everyone has noticed the odor and has been talking about it, things can become very awkward. If you are direct and kind with your friend, there may be no need to tell him or her whether or not others have noticed the smell. In some cases, you can give your friend direct help with his or her odor problem. For instance, you can offer...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Menciona una causa posible. Dile que sabes que tal vez no sea consciente del problema. No le cuentes si otros se han quejado de su olor. Ofrécele una solución. Termina la conversación con un detalle positivo.


If you can't afford an HD capture device, you can use any camcorder, webcam, or even your smartphone to record your TV's display. Since you're going to be recording "off-screen" with this method, you're never going to have perfect quality. Instead, you'll want to focus on minimizing the amount of outside distractions by setting up the camera so that the screen takes the entire frame and ensuring that it's steady. You can use a tripod for this, or find a level surface that gives your device a good view of the TV display. Try to fit the entire TV display so that it fills up the camera's frame. Use the camera's Focus tools to ensure that the picture from the TV is as clear as possible. If you're using a digital device like your smartphone, be aware that video can take up a lot of space.

If you can't find a friend who is interested in trading massages, use the internet to locate a free massage. Start with the search term "free massage resources" and look for trusted sources. Be cautious when conducting a broad search online and avoid "adult services." There are a wide range of massages offered in what is known as massage exchange groups. However, be careful not to get involved in illegal activities camouflaged as massage services.  Never meet someone that you found online in a private place. Always meet people at a public location to discuss services. Make sure you are comfortable with each other before making any future plans. Bring along a friend for safety purposes. If you feel uncomfortable, leave immediately. If you decide to meet at a massage studio, research the person and the premises before you go. A Google search will sometimes yield helpful information. If you ever feel the slightest bit of discomfort about the situation, don't go. Sometimes there is a membership fee for using a massage exchange website. Use the phrase “win a free massage” to search for contests. Enter as many contests as you can find. Most licensed massage facilities offer gift cards. Request a gift card for your birthday or for a holiday gift from your friends and family members. These gift cards can be costly, so you probably should not expect to receive them often.

If you can't find a matching color, choose a neutral color that is a similar shade. For example, if you have a dark blue shirt, and you can't find any dark blue bias tape, get black bias tape. If you have a light blue shirt, and can't find any matching bias tape, get some light grey bias tape instead. This method works great on shirts that you are sewing from scratch! How much longer you cut it depends on the width of your bias tape. This will typically be about ½ inch (1.27 centimeters). Make sure that you are pinning the right side of the bias tape to the right side of the shirt. You will eventually be folding the bias tape inside the shirt. Leave about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) of extra bias tape to either side of the shirt. Use the crease along the bottom fold of the bias tape as a guide. Fold the bias tape down first, then fold it inside your shirt. The raw edges should now be under the bias tape. The bias tape also should not be visible from the outside. The seam between the bias tape and the shirt will be right along the bottom edge of the shirt. Use a heat setting that is suitable for the material you are working with. Each fabric will require a different heat setting. If you'd like, you can clip the corner of the bias tape first to reduce bulk. Sew with the inside of the shirt facing you, so that you can get as close to the top edge of the bias tape as possible. Use a bobbin thread that matches your shirt color, and a sewing thread that matches your bias tape color.  Remember to sew back and forth a few times at the start and end of the shirt. Pull out the pins as you go. Your shirt is now ready to wear!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consigue sesgo de un solo doblez que combine con el color de la camiseta. Corta la camiseta un poco más larga de lo que quieres que sea. Desdobla el borde del sesgo y sujétalo con un alfiler al borde inferior de la camiseta. Cose el sesgo a la camiseta usando una puntada recta. Dobla el sesgo hacia la parte interna de la camiseta. Pasa la plancha sobre la bastilla para aplanarla. Introduce el exceso de sesgo dentro de la bastilla y presiónalo con una plancha. Asegura todo en su lugar con alfileres y luego cose el sesgo usando una costura recta. Presiona la camiseta por última vez y corta cualquier exceso de hilo o hilos sueltos.


If you can't find a type of wire you like at a craft store, you can also use earring hooks. Earring hooks are fairly cheap and available for purchase at most craft stores. You'll also need a pair of pliers. You can also use a barbell earring to make a fake barbell piercing. If you're going this route, get a pair of barbell earrings instead of earring hooks. Barbell septum piercings are piercings with large studs on either end rather than curved edges. You can get a barbell earring, which is an earring shaped something like a barbell, and use pliers to create a curve. This will give you a fun barbell septum piercing to wear. Barbell earrings may require a lot of force to manipulate. It may take you awhile to get the right shape if you're using this method.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reúne los materiales. Dobla un pendiente con una cuenta para hacer que se convierta en un piercing de barra.


If you can't find one, you can use a Styrofoam ball instead, then do the following:  Use a saw or serrated knife to cut the bottom off of the ball so that it will sit flat and not roll around. Use a knife or a pair of scissors to drill a hole in the top of the ball for the stem. Fill the hole with some hot glue, then insert a short wooden stick; you can also use a cork. You can use any color of yarn you want for this, but you might make your pumpkin look more recognizable if you use orange. You can also use any weight yarn for this project, including chunky! Make sure that each round of yarn is touching so that no pumpkin (or Styrofoam) is showing. Also, be sure to place some glue into the grooves of the pumpkin to enhance their rippled shape. There are lots of different ways you can wrap your pumpkin:  Wrap the pumpkin vertically, from base to stem. Use a separate piece of yarn for each wrap. Wrap the pumpkin horizontally in a spiral from bottom to top, using one, long piece of yarn. Wrap the yarn in triangular-shape spirals around the pumpkin. Although not necessary, this can give your pumpkin a nice, consistent look. Use a drop of hot glue at the base and tip of the stem to secure the yarn.  For a rustic look, try jute cord instead. If you made your pumpkin out of a Styrofoam ball, consider leaving the cork or stick stem bare for a more rustic look. Trim off any loose bits of yarn, and glue down any bits that stick up. Set your pumpkin down some place visible so that you can take pride in your work!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consigue una pequeña calabaza de plástico para usar como base. Asegura la punta de la lana a la base de la calabaza con un poco de pegamento termofusible. Empieza a envolver la lana alrededor de la calabaza, pegándola conforme trabajas. Considera envolver una lana marrón o verde alrededor del tallo. Arregla la calabaza.

If you can't get your S3 to connect no matter what you try, your last option is to perform a complete factory reset. This will delete everything on the phone, so you'll want to back up anything you want to save onto an SD card if possible. You can insert an SD card by removing the battery on the back of the phone. This will display the files on your S3. This will switch the display to all of the folders on your S3. This is the emulated SD card that stores all of your files on your S3's hard drive. This will highlight all of the files and folders so that you don't miss anything. All of the selected files will be copied so that they can be moved to the SD card. This will open the storage for the SD card you inserted. This may take a while if you have a lot of files. Once your files are backed up, you can export your contacts to the SD card as well:   Open the Contacts app. Tap the "Menu" button and select "Import / Export." Select "Export to SD card" and then tap "OK." Once you've finished backing up your files and contacts, you can safely reset your phone. You can do this from the Settings app. This will open the factory reset menu. After confirming, all of the data on your phone will be deleted and your operating system restored. This process may take a while to complete. You'll be taken through the initial setup process for your phone. Log in with your Google and Samsung accounts to begin using your phone again. Once your phone is powered on and you're logged in, try the connection with your computer again. If you still can't get the S3 to connect and you've tried everything listed above, you may need to get a replacement device.

If you can't reset your iPod no matter what you do, you may need to restore it. Restoring your iPod will erase all of the data, but you can load an old backup so that you don't have to start over from scratch. If your device does not appear in iTunes, even though it is plugged in, you may need to enable Recovery Mode. You will need to unplug your iPod from your computer to enter Recovery Mode. See this guide for detailed instructions. If your iPod is recognized by iTunes, continue to the next step. Select your iPod and find the "Back Up Now" button in the Backups section. This will allow you to back up your settings, apps, and pictures to your computer before you restore your iPod. If your iPod is not functioning, you may not be able to make a new backup before restoring. Make sure to back up to your computer instead of iCloud, as an iCloud backup doesn't save everything. With a backup safely made, you're ready to restore your iPod. Click the "Restore iPod" button to begin the restore process. You will be asked to confirm that you want to restore. The restore process can range from several minutes to an hour, so make sure that you have enough time to wait for it to finish. After the restore process is complete, you can start using your iPod as if it was new, or you can load an old backup file. This will restore all of your settings and apps. You can load an old backup after the restore process is complete and the "Welcome to your New iPod" window appears. Select "Restore from this backup", ensure that the correct backup has been selected, and click Continue.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Conecta el iPod a la computadora. Abre iTunes. Haz una copia de seguridad. Restaura el iPod. Restaura tu copia de seguridad.


If you can't seem to get to sleep by counting sheep, you may want to try doing a meditation exercise that uses deep breathing as you lay on your back in bed. This can help to calm and relax you into a deep sleep.  Start by inhaling and exhaling deeply through your nose, breathing from your diaphragm, which is just under your ribs. As you inhale, think about relaxing all your muscles, from head to toe. As you exhale, imagine you are sinking deeper into your bed. Continue to do this, breathing deeply in and out. You may also want to imagine a calm, relaxing scene like a falling waterfall or a tropical beach to help calm your mind and body for rest. These exercises can help your body to relax and help you get to sleep faster. Clenching and releasing your muscles can act as a form of meditation.  Begin by clenching your upper body, including your neck, your fingers, your hands, your arms, and your abdominals. Then, clench your lower body, including your legs, your feet, and your toes. Inhale as you clench all your muscles. Then, exhale and slowly release all of your muscles, relaxing your entire body. You should feel a sense of peace and calm as you release your muscles into your bed. If you struggle with distractions around you at night, you may want to block out any light from the windows with a sleep mask. You can use a thin scarf or buy a sleep mask from your local drugstore. You may also want to use ear plugs to block out any noise around you. You can find soft, comfortable ear plugs at your local drugstore. If you are struggling to fall asleep, you may want to try to do a relaxing, quiet activity like listening to ambient music with headphones while you lay in bed. You can look up sleep mixes online that are designed to help your brain relax or create your own music mix using some of your favorite slow jams. Sleep sound machines are designed to help you get a full night's rest by using sleep sounds that you can customize to fit your ideal ambient sounds. Many of these machines have a loop cycle so the sleep...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Practica la meditación acostado y la respiración profunda. Prueba con ejercicios que contraen y relajan los músculos. Ponte un antifaz para dormir y tapones para los oídos a la hora de acostarte. Escucha música o una máquina de sonidos para dormir. Piensa en tomar pastillas para dormir. Evita los medicamentos de venta libre que pueden provocar insomnio y problemas para dormir.


If you can't stand the idea of cutting up a comic book, consider using comic-printed scrapbook paper or comic-themed wrapping paper. The best heels to use for this project are ones that are made out of fabric or suede becuase the Mod Podge will stick to them better. If your heels are made out of patent leather, or a similar shiny material, light buff them with fine-grit sand paper or an emery board instead; this will give the Mod Podge something to stick to. If there are any embellishments on your shoes, be sure to cut them off; you can always glue them back on later. Go through your book, and look for various characters, scenes, sound effects, and speech bubbles that you want to put on your shoes. Many comic book shoes also have "statement" images. These are images that are a little larger than the rest, and are meant to stand out. You can cut them down further into various shapes as well, such as squares, rectangles, and triangles. Make sure that you have some small and large shapes. This will make fitting them into the contours of your shoes a lot easier and reduce wrinkles. Make sure that the pieces you cut are no bigger than 1 inch (2.54 centimeters).  If you are cutting out statement images, make sure that you follow their outlines. For example, if you want to cut out an image of Wonder Woman's head, make sure that you follow the outline of her hair, face, and neck. A craft blade or tiny pair of scissors would be best for this.  Consider separating your shapes into groups based on size or color. This will make it easier to find the pieces you need for your design. Only put down enough glue to apply 2 to 3 comic book scraps. Depending on the material you are working with, the may dry within minutes. Working in small patches at a time will prevent the glue from drying out too quickly. You can use any type of decoupage glue you want, but make sure that it is waterproof. This will make the paper extra-damp and pliable. It will be easier to smooth the paper over the curves of your shoe. Make sure that you...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consigue algunos cómics, de preferencia que no te importe cortar. Escoge un par de tacones sencillos. Busca paneles y tiras adecuados para cortar. Corta las imágenes. Aplica un poco de pegamento para barnizado (por ejemplo, Mod Podge) sobre el respaldo del zapato. Aplica una fina capa de pegamento para barnizado en el respaldo del pedazo de cómic. Coloca el pedazo de cómic en el zapato y alísalo con otra capa delgada de pegamento para barnizado. Continúa pegando los pedazos de cómic de manera similar. Revisa los zapatos y luego límpialos si es necesario. Agrega las imágenes atractivas si lo deseas. Agrega de 2 a 3 capas más de pegamento para barnizado. Utiliza los zapatos.


If you can't take it anymore – don't. There is much to be said for the tactful approach of ignoring haters, but avoidance doesn't always resolve the problem. Find a moment to speak honestly with these people, and try to explain where you're coming from. Speak with each hater as a mature and conscious equal; you cannot use the language of hatred to end hate.  Say, "I've been getting a lot of negative energy from you recently. I'd appreciate it if you kept those thoughts to yourself, or even tried to understand my perspective. I don't want to have to deal with this anymore." Try to understand why they are acting this way. Say, "Have I done something to personally wrong you? You seem to be taking a lot of negativity out on me, and I don't understand why." Haters feed on your emotions. If you respond quickly and emotionally, there's a good chance that you won't be able to make a strong point, and you will only give them more reason to make fun of you. Do not let your words be clouded by anger and frustration. Give yourself the time to cool down before you respond. Resolve conflict with measured words and confident maturity. If hatred is fire: be water. Be cool, collected, and healing. When you fight fire with fire, you usually just wind up with a really big fire. That said: sometimes, fighting back physically and decisively can put a stop to the situation. If you do decide to take this route, do so with full awareness of the consequences. Know that violence begets violence, and that you might make the problem much worse by opening that door. The Internet can be a wide and wonderful place, and it can provide an intoxicating degree of anonymity. Some people use this anonymity to snipe at others from behind a computer keyboard. If people are hating on you from the Internet, all of the other advice applies – but you might truly need to learn to let go. You can try to face down haters with individual comments, but you may find it difficult to do much more than feed their hate.  Try reaching out to haters with...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Habla. No seas precipitado. Evita la violencia física. Trata con quienes te odian en línea.


If you can't take it anymore, don't. Avoiding haters doesn't always resolve the problem. Find a moment to speak honestly with these people, and try to explain where you're coming from. Speak with each hater as a mature and conscientious equal no matter how rudely the other person has been in the past. This is especially important for passive haters who may not insult you directly.  Try telling your hater: "I've been getting a lot of negative energy from you recently, and I'd appreciate it if you kept those thoughts to yourself. It's childish, and I don't want to have to deal with this anymore." Try to understand why your hater is acting this way. Ask him or her: "Have I done something to personally wrong you? You seem to be taking a lot of negativity out on me, and I don't understand why." Haters feed on your emotions. If you respond quickly and emotionally, there's a good chance that you won't be able to make a strong point. If you lash out, you will only give them more reason to make fun of you. Do not let your words be clouded by anger and frustration. Give yourself the time to cool down before you respond. Resolve conflict with measured words and confident maturity. If hatred is fire, be like water and extinguish it. Be cool and collected. Fighting fire with fire doesn't work. While you should never start a fight, don't let a hater hurt you. Learn self-defense and protect yourself. Turn your attacker's strength against him or her.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Di lo que piensas. No actúes de manera impulsiva. Evita la violencia física.


If you can't think of what went wrong in the relationship because you smothered her with love, then chances are that this was exactly what went wrong. She must have felt that your love and relationship was too easy, so you should try to make it more of a challenge.  Be aloof. You should still give her some attention, but act busy or distracted and like you're not giving all your attention to her for once. This will confuse her and will make her want you more. Be sparing with the compliments. If you did nothing but compliment her 24/7 when you were together, give her just one compliment to show that you're not obsessing over her. Let her come to you. She was probably used to having you come up to her, touch her, and talk to her all the time; now, it's time for some role reversal. If you're at a party, let her approach you instead of stopping everything you're doing to head her way. If you broke up because she felt that you didn't give her enough affection or time or that you spent too much time flirting with other women, it's time to do the exact opposite and to make yourself available to her and have no other women on your radar.  Show her that your schedule is free and that you're up for hanging out whenever. She'll no longer have to hang out with you during the one hour you're free. Don't make her jealous. In your case, you should stay away from the other ladies as much as possible to show that you only have eyes for her. Take the time to listen. If she thought you didn't care about her feelings before, maintain eye contact and let her talk without interrupting. You can mention something she said in the conversation a day later to show that you really do hang on to her every word. Compliment her. If you never complimented her before, she'll see that you changed. If you really want her back, you have to be the man and apologize for what went wrong. If she was hurt by you, she'll want to stay away from you for fear of getting hurt again. So man up and tell her you made a mistake.  Make sure to do this in...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Si la primera vez fue demasiado fácil, haz que te busque. Si la primera vez fue demasiado difícil, haz que las cosas sean más fáciles. Si la heriste, discúlpate. Muéstrale lo maduro que eres ahora.


If you can't wrap your arms around the person, or if they've fallen, get them on their back. Gently instruct the person to turn on their back and help them as necessary. Get on you knees and position yourself on top of the person. Kneel over the person, hovering just above their hips. Place one hand on top of the other. Place the heel of the bottom hand on the person's abdomen. This is the area just below the ribcage but above the navel. Using your bodyweight, press your hands into the person's abdomen with a slight upward motion. Repeat doing thrusts until the object is expelled from the person's throat. If you're unable to expel the object using the Heimlich, call emergency services. If someone is choking and you are unable to help, medical professionals will be needed to remove the unwanted object. When they arrive, answer any questions they have and allow them to help the person.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Recuesta a la persona boca arriba. Arrodíllate a la altura de la cadera de la víctima. Coloca las manos en la posición adecuada. Presiona las manos sobre el abdomen de la víctima. Llama a emergencias.


If you can, get a friend or someone else to help you. Use a long measuring tape. If your roof is rectangular or square on either side, it's easy to work out the measurements. Measure the length and width and multiply them to find the area of the roof.  If your roof is not uniform and has different sections of different sizes, measure 1 section at a time. Multiply each length and width to find the area of each section. Add the section areas together to find the total area of the roof. Get an extra 5-10% of material to account for overhangs and overlap. Go to your local hardware or building supplies store and ask for enough rolled roofing to fit the area of your roof. Rolled roofing comes in rolls, much like carpet. You can cut the roll to fit corners and other areas. For safety purposes, it's a good idea to have someone with you when you're walking around on a roof. Never go up on your roof when it's wet or if rain is forecast. Roofs become very slippery when wet. Even when it's dry, watch your footing and move slowly when walking on a slanted roof. Wear footwear with proper grip on the soles. Don't go up on your roof with canvas shoes or sneakers on. Before you apply your rolled roofing, you should make sure it's free of excess dirt, grime, or any other substance. Use a brush to sweep away any leaves and dirt or use a leaf blower to blow debris from the top down to the edges. If you can, hose down the roof from the ground or a ladder.  Wear long pants, work gloves, and shoes with deep ridges so they have a good grip. Never go on top of the roof to hose it. Hose it from a safe area where you are in no danger of falling from the roof. Make sure your roof is completely dry before installing your roofing. Have a friend with you to help or alert other people in case you lose your footing on the roof. If you have gutters, clear them out with gloves and a bucket. So you don't get confused later in the process, it's a good idea to take stock of all your items before you start. Roll out the roofing sheets and lay them...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mide el techo para saber cuánto material necesitarás. Compra la cantidad correcta de revestimiento para techo en rollo. Toma las precauciones de seguridad correspondientes al estar en el techo. Limpia el techo antes de comenzar el trabajo. Extiende todos los materiales en el piso.


If you can, it is better to wait 2 to 3 days. This way, the clear coat will be totally cured and ready to blend. It is best not to drive your car during this period. However, if you need to drive your car, it should be fine as long as the clear coat is dry. Wet a soft sponge with water. Wipe the area to remove any dirt and dust that may have accumulated on your car. Dry the area with a clean microfiber cloth until it is completely dry. Dip a piece 1500-grit sandpaper in water. Gently sand the clear coat line. Sand the area until the line is noticeably reduced. After you finish sanding, wipe the area dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid sanding too much as this may remove the new clear coat. Squeeze 3 to 5 drops of a medium-grit rubbing compound onto the area. Fit a wool pad onto the polisher. Set the polisher on the lowest setting. Polish the area in the direction that you applied the clear coat. You want to avoid polishing against the clear coat as this may cause it to peel. Polish the car until it shines, about 3 to 5 minutes.  You can purchase a rubbing compound, polisher, and wool pad from your local auto supply store. You may be able to rent a polisher from your local auto supply store. Gently wipe the surface to remove any accumulated dust and dirt. Avoid washing your car after you polish it since the soap and water may remove the polishing oils.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Espera al menos 48 menos antes de empezar a mezclar. Limpia el área de mezcla con agua. Lija el área de mezcla con algo de humedad. Pule el área. Limpia la superficie del auto con un paño de microfibra.


If you can, pick a subject you enjoy. Speak on topics you know well. Even if you are delivering dreary statistics about last year's crop failure, put something of yourself into your speech by explaining why you are interested in the topic. Practice and preparation are easier if your subject matter is important or enjoyable to you. If you think your material is interesting and meaningful, your audience will catch your enthusiasm and appreciate your sincerity. For instance, if you are interested in a complex scientific theory, your enthusiasm can make a speech about this theory more engaging and can clarify why the theory is important for an audience. It's important to know your topic well when you are giving a speech. If not, you could get embarrassed in front of the audience if your content is not correct. Also, if you don't know your subject well, you could be asked questions after the speech that you can't answer.  When researching your topic, its important to do preliminary work to understand the basic subject overall but then focus in on a specific subject you can talk about. For instance, if you may want to talk about Shakespeare's plays you should know general information about them overall but you should narrow your focus to 1 or 2 of his plays for your speech. Also think about questions that might be asked about your subject. Preparing answers to likely questions will make you feel more prepared, and thus less nervous. Also prepare an "I don't know" answer if people will be asking questions. You can say something like, "That is a great question. I'll look into that." If you are nervous about giving a speech, it may be tempting to procrastinate and wait until the last minute to write it. However, giving yourself time to edit and practice the speech will help you overcome your nervousness.  If you are giving a short speech in class, consider writing it a week ahead of time. This will give you a few days to edit it and a few days to practice the final draft. If you are giving a long speech in front of...
