Deductive reasoning is one of the hallmarks of thinking like a lawyer. In law, this pattern of logic is used when applying a rule of law to a particular fact pattern. A syllogism is a particular type of deductive reasoning often used in legal reasoning, and asserts that what is true for a general group will also be true for all specific individuals in that same group.  Syllogisms consist of three parts: a general statement, a particular statement, and a conclusion about the particular based on the general. The general statement typically is broad and nearly universally applicable. For example, you might say “All dirty floors show negligence.” The particular statement refers to a specific person or set of facts, such as “This restaurant's floor is dirty.” The conclusion relates the particular back to the general. Having stated a universal rule, and having established that your particular person is a part of the group covered by the universal rule, you can now arrive at your conclusion: “This restaurant floor shows negligence.” Sometimes you don’t have a general rule, but you can see several similar situations in which the same thing happened. Inductive reasoning allows you to conclude that if the same thing happens enough times, you can draw a general rule that it will always happen.  Inductive reasoning doesn’t enable you to make any guarantees that your conclusion is true. However, if something happens regularly, it’s probable enough for you to rely on when creating a rule. For example, suppose no one’s told you that, as a general rule, a dirty floor shows negligence on the part of a shop employee or shop owner. However, you observe a pattern in several cases where a customer slipped and fell and the judge ruled the owner was negligent. Because of his negligence, the owner had to pay for the customer's injuries. Based on your knowledge of these cases, you conclude that if a shop floor is dirty, the shop owner is negligent. Only knowing a few examples may not be sufficient to create a rule you can rely on to...

Deduce conclusiones a partir de reglas generales. Construye silogismos. Infiere las reglas generales a partir de los patrones de características. Compara situaciones similares usando analogías.


Deep breathing techniques are crucial to coping with anxiety and reducing panic attacks. When you breathe deeply it can help you reduce feelings of tension, anxiety, and jitters; this is because controlling your breathing reduces your heart rate, blood pressure, and resets your autonomic nervous system. This causes a physiological reaction which makes you feel relaxed. Place yourself in a quiet and safe space. Begin by closing your eyes and breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth, slowly and deeply. Pay attention to how it feels in different parts of your body each time you let your breath out. Continue this exercise until you feel relaxed. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a very useful technique to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. PMR reduces feelings of anxiety by lowering cortisol (stress hormone) levels in the brain. PMR is associated with contracting and relaxing different muscle groups throughout your body in a strategic manner. Begin by putting yourself in a safe place. Tense your muscles in your toes for 5 seconds, and then relax the muscles for approximately 15 seconds. Continue tensing and relaxing all the way up your body from your toes to your face muscles. Mindfulness is being in the here-and-now by focusing your attention on your current feelings, sensations, experiences, and surroundings. Mindfulness helps to reduce anxiety because we are concerned with what is happening right now instead of regretting the past or worrying about possible future events that have not happened yet. Mindfulness relieves anxiety in individuals who experience panic attacks.  Start by being in a relaxing environment and trying a basic mindfulness exercise.  One exercise is to slowly and very intentionally eat a small piece of fruit; Pay attention to how it looks, feels, and tastes.   You can do a mindfulness exercise with any object in the room you are in. Simply look at the object, note its colors, shapes, and your feelings about it. Then touch it and feel its texture. Focus on the...

Deep meditation can help your mind relax and, as you drift off, encourage a restful sleep without dreams. Try meditating while going to sleep to increase the likelihood of deep, yet dreamless sleep.  Meditation involves focusing your mind on a word, thought, or feeling to induce a stronger feeling of awareness or calm.  Body scan meditation in particular is useful for lulling yourself to sleep at night. Dwelling on dreams can make them reoccur in the future, either in themes or emotional significance. After waking up, try to distract yourself with work or other activities instead of ruminating on the dream.  The less you pay attention to them, the more likely they are to fade over time. The exception to this is a nightmare, as exploring its significance may prevent it from recurring. If you're sleeping during the day and don't want to dream, set a timer for about 30-45 minutes. That way, you can wake up before you enter REM sleep, which is when you're most likely to dream. This method is less useful for dreaming at night, when your body needs REM sleep to feel restful the next day. If you experience particularly vivid dreams, some medications can lower their intensity or frequency. Make a list of your dream symptoms and your medical history to discuss the best treatment plan with your doctor. Let your doctor know about any medications you're taking as well, as some can cause vivid or emotionally distressing dreams.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Practica la meditación para que te calmes y puedas dormir sin soñar. No prestes atención a los sueños después de tenerlos. Usa un temporizador para despertarte mientras tomas una siesta. Habla con un médico acerca de tomar medicamentos para dormir si es necesario.


Defenders in professional soccer are generally the tallest players on their team and are more solid than their teammates. This is because, as a defender, your objective is to protect your goal from shots by any means. This will require:  Strength, both for fending off aggressive opponents and to clear the ball once you regain possession.Weight train your legs to improve your ball clearing power and header potential. Don't neglect your upper body or you may be unable to jostle your way to the ball when going for a header.  Balance, for staying upright, tackling, and responding to on-field developments. Train your balance through specific exercises, like squats, and improve your core strength to encourage greater full body stability. All soccer players are expected to be high endurance runners, but defenders should be tireless. You should develop this characteristic throughout your career in the sport if you wish to become an exceptional defender.  To achieve this end, you might consider taking up swimming or cycling. Give extra focus to the development and performance of your legs. Strong legs will enable you to challenge opponents for headers more easily. Improve your vertical jump height. Jump rope to make you a stronger header contender. Positioning is essential for every defender, as poor positioning can allow unnecessary shot through your defensive line. As a defender, you are the  last line of defense before the goalie. You must keep a wide awareness of the situation on the field as it develops, including:  The position of opposing strikers. Midfielders adding pressure to the opposing team's attack. The position of your defensive line. As a defensive player, you'll be expected to have excellent ball handling skills. A sloppy pass or poor control can lead to repossession of the ball by the other team, which could end disastrously for yours. You should drill regularly with other defenders to maintain your ball handling skills and develop your adaptability to the defensive styles of different players....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Establece un régimen de entrenamiento. Incrementa tu actividad cardiovascular. Ten en cuenta la evolución de las posiciones en el terreno. Mejora tus habilidades básicas. Debes saber dónde mirar. Cubre a tus oponentes y sus ángulos de aproximación. Ten una mentalidad firme.


Defining people as either a Type A or a Type B personality is very popular, especially in the business world. This system of classifying personalities into one of two overall types also has research linking it to health and achievement. You can define your personality by finding out whether you are more a Type A person or more of a type B person.  Take an online personality type quiz like the Personality type A/B Test on the University of North Carolina Charlotte website. You may also look back on previous work evaluations or job feedback to give you an idea. Compare your list of traits to the characteristics of Type A and B personalities. Look to see if you have more traits that are Type A or more that are Type B, keeping in mind that most people have traits that fit into each category. Type A personalities are generally successful, hard-working and very conscious of time. If this fits you and you are also competitive and goal-oriented, you may define yourself as a Type A personality.  Type A people are also often more hostile, stressed, anxious, and impatient compared to Type B people. For example, if you tend to get very stressed and extremely upset when something makes you even a little late, you may be Type A. Or, for instance, you might be Type A if you would skip a night out with your friends without a thought in order to finish a report. Check your list of traits to see if you mentioned words like: hard-working, driven, busy, focused, or impatient to see if you are Type A. You may define yourself as Type B if you are more laid back, creative, and tolerant of others. Type B people are late more often than Type A, but also have less anxiety.  Look at your list of traits to see if you included: relaxed, easy-going, peaceful, not always reliable, or a good imagination. Think about whether you usually procrastinate when you have assignments or work to do. For example, would you rather play a game of basketball than work on a report that’s due?

Dehydration can cause problems with dry skin very easily so you'll want to be sure that you're drinking plenty of water. However, how much is the right amount depends on each individual. The recommended eight glasses is a starting point, but you might need more or you might need less. A good rule of thumb is that if your urine is coming out pale or clear, you're getting enough water. If it's sunshiny yellow or darker, you need to drink more water. You skin, just like so many other parts of your body, need some nutrients more than others in order to look its best. You'll want to be sure to get these nutrients in your diet or take supplements to make sure that your body has enough. The best nutrients for skin include vitamin A, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids. You can find these nutrients in high concentrations in salmon, anchovies, sardines, olive oil, almonds, kale, and carrots. It is well established by science that dry skin can often be caused by excess weight and obesity. Conditions that are related to obesity, such as diabetes, can also cause skin dryness. If you find that other methods are not helping you to maintain healthy skin, you might want to consider if your weight and general health are the root cause of your problem. Other underlying health problems can also cause dry skin. You'll want to talk with your doctor and get evaluated to see if any of these problems are affecting you. If they are, then you'll know why your own efforts haven't been very successful and you'll have new options available to you to help keep your skin healthy.  Eczema and psoriasis, for example, are common conditions which both cause problems with dry skin. If you find you have dry skin on your face and around your hairline, it's important to realize that it might actually be dandruff and caused by a skin fungus. This requires different treatment than just moisturizing. As with most medical problems, if you have questions or concerns it's a good idea to talk to your doctor. Dry skin is a problem that should not be...

Dehydration can make a cold even worse, so it’s important that you drink 8 glasses of water every day. Drinking more fluids will also help loosen mucus in your nose and throat so you feel less congested. Don’t drink alcohol, coffee, or caffeinated soda or you could become more dehydrated. If you’re not getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy, you’ll have a harder time fighting off a cold. Eating more fruits and vegetables is an easy way to get the nutrients your immune system needs to function.  Try eating a salad with a couple servings of fruit every day. Some studies suggest that garlic and citrus fruits can shorten the length of a cold and make it less severe. Your body is hard at work fighting off infection when you’re asleep, so it’s important that you rest as much as possible so it can fight your cold. Try to go to sleep earlier than usual and take a nap during the day if you can. The more rest you get, the better your chances will be of a speedy recovery. Getting lots of rest and drinking plenty of fluids can be tough if you’re at school or work all day. If you’re able to, stay home so you can focus on recovering so your cold doesn't get worse.  If you decide to take the day off from work, reach out to your boss over the phone or by email as soon as possible. Let them know you're too sick to come in and apologize for the inconvenience. If your boss seems hesitant about letting you take the day off, ask if you can work from home for the day instead.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Toma 8 vasos de agua al día para mantener una buena hidratación. Come a diario 4 o 5 porciones de frutas y verduras para fortalecer el sistema inmunitario. Duerme un mínimo de 8 horas por noche. Si es posible, falta al trabajo o la escuela.


Dehydration can make matters worse when your child is sick. Prevent dehydration in your child by making sure your child drinks fluids frequently. Offer your child:  Water Ice pops Ginger ale Diluted fruit juice Electrolyte-enhanced beverages Give your child nutritious foods that won’t upset their stomach. Choice of food might depend on your child’s symptoms. Good options include:  Salty crackers Bananas Applesauce Toast  Cooked cereals Mashed potatoes Although it will not cure your child, warm chicken soup helps relieve cold and flu symptoms by making mucus thinner and acting as an anti-inflammatory. There are a number of recipes for making your own chicken soup, although many commercial varieties work well, too.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dale a tu hijo suficientes líquidos claros. Dale alimentos que sean fáciles de digerir. Dale a tu hijo sopa de pollo.


Dehydration can make you feel tired, so be sure to drink water frequently, especially when your body is telling you it's thirsty. To help you get enough water, remember that coffee, tea, and even fruit juice count as part of your total. To spice up your water, try drinking sparkling water with a slice of orange or lemon in it. While it may be tempting to reach for a candy bar after lunch, the sugar in it may be your downfall for the afternoon slump. Instead, try complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, paired with a lean protein such as fish or chicken. Protein is also connected to regulating your body's alertness, so a meal high in protein can help you feel more energized and alert. Protein raises tyrosine levels in your body rather than tryptophan levels, and tyrosine gives you more energy. Eating too many carbohydrates at once does the opposite. Try bringing your shoulders up, so your whole body is straighter. Leaning over can make you sleepier. Another option is a position that requires you to balance yourself. For instance, some people use yoga ball chairs to improve their balance, but they can also help keep you awake. Staying on one task only for hours at a time can lead you to brain burn out and sleepiness. Instead, switch tasks if you notice your brain is wearing out. It will help keep you more alert.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Bebe suficiente líquido. Haz que tu almuerzo esté basado en proteínas, vegetales y carbohidratos complejos. Cambia tu postura. No te quedes haciendo la misma tarea por demasiado tiempo.


Dehydration can often cause headaches. This is because the lack of water leads to reduced blood and oxygen flow to the brain. As soon as you feel a headache coming on, try drinking a cool glass of water. If the headache is caused by dehydration, drinking water can ease or cure it within minutes.  You should consume roughly about eight glasses of liquid a day to prevent dehydration.  However, 20% of this you can already get from watery foods (e.g. grapes, turkey, watermelon, etc).   Drinking water is especially important after the consumption of alcohol, as alcohol causes dehydration, leading to hangover headaches. Rub 3-5 drops of peppermint oil to your temples and forehead into your skin. Lay down and relax for up to 30 minutes to let the oil take effect. Rosemary can be very helpful in the treatment of headaches. Try massaging your head with a little rosemary oil (which has anti-inflammatory properties) to instantly alleviate pain. Alternatively, you can drink an herbal tea made from a combination of rosemary and sage to ease headaches.  To make rosemary and sage tea, add one teaspoon of crushed rosemary leaves and one teaspoon of crushed sage leaves to a cup of boiling water. Cover and leave to infuse until the water reaches room temperature. Drink this tea two or three times a day. Cloves can be used in multiple ways to ease the pain of tension headaches. Here are some suggestions:  Gently crush a number of cloves and put the pieces into a sachet bag or clean handkerchief. Inhale the scent of the crushed cloves to gain relief from headaches. Mix clove oil with sea salt and massage into your forehead and temples. The clove oil provides a cooling effect, while the sea salt intensifies the massage. Basil is a strong-scented herb which can be used effectively in headache treatment. Basil works as a muscle relaxant, thus it can be helpful for treating headaches caused by tension and tight muscles. Drinking basil tea twice a day is an excellent home remedy.  Put some fresh, washed basil leaves in a cup of...

Dehydration is one of the most common causes of dry mouth. Sipping water can also help to relieve dry mouth when it is caused by disease or as a side effect of medication.  Doctors recommend drinking eight to twelve 8-ounce glasses of water each day to keep hydrated. Drinking too much water, however, can actually dissolve the mucus lining of the mouth and worsen the symptoms of dry mouth. If you feel the need to drink excessive amounts of water to soothe your dry mouth, ask a doctor about other options. You can also dissolve (not crunch) ice chips in your mouth in addition to sipping water. Caffeine is a diuretic, which means it promotes fluid loss. For this reason, caffeine can worsen the symptoms of dry mouth. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid coffee, tea, and certain sodas if you suffer from dry mouth. Sour foods stimulate the salivary glands, so consuming these can help if you are struggling with dry mouth. Some sour foods (such as citrus fruits) are also good sources of vitamin C. Too much acid from sour foods, however, can wear away the enamel of your teeth, increasing your risk of tooth decay. To reduce this risk, sip water as you eat sour foods. If you suffer from dry mouth, your ability to swallow solid foods may be affected. Try adding liquid-based additives like sauces and gravies to your recipes to make “rough” solid foods easier to swallow. These foods will require less chewing, and be more comfortable to swallow than dry, crunchy, or chewy foods like tough meats and crusty breads. Good choices include:  Yogurt Pudding Canned fruit Mashed vegetables Casseroles made with a broth or sauce base Thinned cereals, such as oatmeal Soups and stews Fruit smoothies Soft cooked meats such as boiled chicken Because dry mouths lack saliva, the condition can make it more difficult or painful to swallow food. If you make sure to sip water while eating, however, it can make things easier and help keep you hydrated. Try taking a sip of water, then a bite of food, then have another sip of water.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Toma abundante agua. Evita o limita el consumo de bebidas con cafeína. Come alimentos ácidos. Incluye salsas y jugos en tus comidas. Come alimentos suaves y húmedos. Toma agua al comer.


Deleting startup programs without knowing what they are can lead to certain applications not functioning properly.  Before making changes that you are unsure of, use System Restore to create a “restore point” that you can revert to if something goes wrong.  Many startup items have names that are somewhat descriptive, but others are obscure abbreviations, and have functions that are difficult to identify. This may require some time, as it requires you to search for each file or process individually. Some helpful lists include:  Process Library: winner of PC Magazine’s Top 100 Classic Websites, 195k+ entries.  Pacman’s Portal; an online startup program database containing more than 35K entries There are many free, popular programs that can cleanup startup items for you, including items in the system registry.  These programs often contain databases that are updated to include frequently occurring unnecessary items, as well as other tools to improve your computer’s performance.  As always, do ample research to find reputable programs to avoid damaging your computer. Some popular programs include: CCleaner Virtuoza In Control Should I remove it?

Demonstrate your great personality to the girl before you even ask her out. By being positive, kind, funny, thoughtful, and well-mannered, you can show her that you are a great guy who would make an excellent boyfriend.  If you feel like your personality is lacking in some way, focus on improving yourself. For example, if you tend to be pessimistic, make it your goal to identify three positive things about your life every day. Over time, you will begin to find it easier to see the positives in your everyday life and you will also benefit from higher self-esteem, better sleep, and improved empathy.  Remember to talk to her. Research has shown that a great personality can make people find you more attractive. But if you never talk to her, she may never get to see how great of a guy you are. Looking and feeling good will help you to be confident around the girl you like and that may be enough to win her over. Take plenty of time every day to eat healthy, exercise, sleep, and groom yourself. Feeling good about yourself will help you project happiness and confidence, which are always attractive.  Eat healthy and exercise regularly. Rest and relax every day. Make sure your hair looks good. Wear clothes that express your personality. Wear cologne and deodorant. Some girls may find certain things attractive in a guy, while others will not. But the only way that you can find out if the girl you like finds your unique talents attractive is to look for opportunities to showcase them. For example, if you are an excellent guitar player, invite the girl you like to come to one of your band’s practices or shows. Or if there is a sport that you excel at, ask her to come to one of your games. Some girls are impressed by guys who are passionate about their hobbies and make time for themselves. If you have things that you love to do, make sure that you make plenty of time to do those things. For example, if you are an avid reader, make sure that you keep doing that even while you are pursuing this girl. It will give you more...

Dendrobium orchids can store water and are more tolerant of dry soil than overly wet soil. Water them every 1-2 weeks. Allow the top 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the soil to dry before re-watering.  Some species of dendrobium orchids have water-storing pseudobulbs, meaning they can go 2 weeks between waterings. It is preferable to water your orchid in the morning so that its leaves are dry before night. Purchase a balanced fertilizer designed specifically for orchids to feed your plant. Dilute it with water in a 4:1 ratio for regular fertilization. Apply the fertilizer once a week as directed. Alternatively, use the full-strength fertilizer once a month to feed your plant. Ideally, the dendrobium orchid should have a 50-70% humidity level around them. Increase humidity by running a humidifier near your plant. You can also place a shallow tray filled with water near your plant to help increase humidity in the immediate area. Do not place the plant in the tray of water, as the water may rot the roots of the orchid over time. After your orchid has finished blooming, use sharp scissors to cut off the flowering stem. Make the cut at a slight angle, just above the point it emerges from the rest of the plant. Doing this will allow for new growth to emerge during the next growing period. Not trimming your orchid after it blooms may prevent it from blooming again.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Riégala semanalmente y deja que la capa superior de tierra se seque entre riego y riego. Échale abono para orquídea diluido 1 vez a la semana. Mantén un nivel de humedad de por lo menos 50 % para la planta. Poda las flores de la orquídea para estimular su nuevo crecimiento.


Dengue fever may not cause any noticeable symptoms if it is a mild case. In more severe cases, symptoms will start about four to 10 days after you have been bitten by an infected mosquito. The most common symptoms of dengue fever include:  High fever (up to 106°F or 41.1°C) Headache Muscle, bone, and joint pain Pain behind your eyes Rash Nausea and vomiting Bleeding from your nose and gums (rare) The Aedes mosquito is the main type of mosquito that spreads dengue fever. Mosquitoes become infected with dengue fever by biting an infected person. The dengue fever is then transmitted to someone else when an infected mosquito bites that person.  The virus is active in the blood of the infected person from day one to seven of the fever phase; therefore, anyone who might be in contact with infected patient's blood (such as a doctor or other heath care worker) can be exposed. Dengue fever may spread from an infected pregnant mother to her fetus, so extra care should be taken by pregnant women in areas where the virus may be present. If you live in or travel to a tropical or subtropical region often, you are at a higher risk of contracting dengue fever. You are also at greater risk of contracting dengue fever if you have been infected before. A previous bout of dengue fever also puts you at risk of developing severe symptoms if you are infected a second time. Many tropical countries in Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, the South Pacific, the Caribbean, South and Central America, northeastern Australia, and Africa. After 56 years of absence, dengue has also resurfaced in Hawaii.

Dent repair kits can be reused depending on the kit. Consider the average amount of hail your area gets. If you frequently find dents after a hailstorm, consider buying a kit. Dent removal kits can typically be found at your local auto supply store. These are simple and cheap tools that use suction to remove dents. They are one of the more common kits for users not as experienced with self repairs. There are other types of kits that use suction and a glue gun to remove the dents. These kits sometimes require more patience and steps, but can potentially have better results.  They use an arched bridge system combined with a safe adhesive. If you have insurance that covers hail damage, contact your insurance company to file a claim. Dent repairs are a cheap fix, and you're guaranteed the cleanest job. Consider asking the body shop personnel to use used parts, if needed. This will reduce your expenses.

Considera la posibilidad de comprar un kit. Compra una ventosa para quitar abolladuras. Usa otro tipo de kit. Lleva el vehículo a un taller de carrocería.


Dental disease can be caused by a misalignment of the teeth or the wearing down of a tooth. This can be a dangerous situation. It can cause your bunny to stop eating, endangering its health.  Signs of tooth disease include loss of appetite, hair loss on chin and neck, slobbering, and drooling. Your rabbit might still show signs that it has an appetite, but is unable to eat. Perhaps it will approach food, even pick it up, before backing off and dropping it. If you believe that your rabbit might have tooth disease rub its cheeks. Any evidence of discomfort would suggest that it has a dental problem. Until you can reach a veterinarian, try to force-feed your rabbit canned pumpkin, baby-food, or veggies. You can purchase a feeding syringe from a pet store. These can be used to insert fluid directly into the rabbit’s mouth.  To prepare for syringe feeding, wrap your rabbit in a towel and secure its head with an index finger under the head, and the thumb on the opposite end of the head, under the base of the skull.  Insert the syringe into the gap between the incisors and cheek teeth. Begin by inserting no more than .2 to .5 ml of food and never feed more than 1 ml. Too much food at one time creates the risk that the rabbit will choke. Go slowly. Then repeat with 5 to 10 ml of water. Ultimately your rabbit will need professional assistance. Because of the variety of possible dental issues, treatment varies. If you do not do so already, you should begin yearly dental examinations to ensure that there are no future complications.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reconoce una enfermedad dental. Dale de comer alimentos suaves a tu conejo. Lleva a tu conejo a la veterinaria.


Dental insurance doesn't often cover a large percentage of dental procedure costs, but some plans do cover a fraction of the overall cost. Although it may not be a lot, every penny the insurance company will pay will help in the long run.  Call your insurance company to discuss the best way of paying for your dental implants. It is important to determine if going to an in-network provider will affect the amount the insurance company will cover. Let your dentist know if the cost of the dental implants is unattainable for you. Some dental offices that do implants may consider offering you a payment plan that would make the implants more affordable. Approach the payment office at your dentist and see if they allow such plans.  Scheduling multiple implants at once is recommended to promote the healing process and for improving benefits for a long term result. Scheduling multiple implants at once might also help you save on the cost of office visits, anesthesia, and other charges. Asking your dentist for a temporary solution until you can afford to get the implants is also a possibility. Some dental offices have packages available to help make implants more affordable for their patients. Inquire if they have packages available, or if they provide discounts with multiple implants. Dental implants involve many steps, and many times require both a surgeon and a dentist. If you can find a dentist who performs both the surgical and restorative work, you may save money, and there is one person who takes all the responsibility for the entire procedure, which is really important. You also save time this way because the provider is able to combine the visits.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Determina qué parte (en caso de que la haya) del costo cubrirá tu seguro. Discute tus opciones con el dentista. Pregunta a tu dentista si hace descuentos por varios implantes. Busca un dentista que realice todos los pasos.


Dental spurs in your horse's mouth may dig into the buccal (cheek) or lingual (tongue) surface and cause pain. This indicates that your horse needs its teeth floated.  The horse may be hesitant to eat or eat less than it usually eats. The horse may take a long time to eat, and throw its head as it eats. The horse may also exhibit other signs that it is not eating enough, such as losing weight. Your horse may become an untidy eater, slobbering and dropping food out of its mouth. For example, determine if your horse has scattered food all over the stable floor.  Some horses will hold their head to one side as they chew, leading to heavy drooling. See if your horse has a constantly wet chin, from dribbling. They dribble because swallowing involves movement of the tongue, which can be painful due to the spurs. Instead of swallowing, they would rather drool. Sometimes the saliva is blood stained because of the damage to the mucous membrane lining the mouth. Oral pain makes the horse less willing to chew, and makes it more likely to swallow food that is incompletely broken down and only partially mixed with saliva. These dry balls of food can get stuck in the esophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach) and cause your horse to choke. This creates a visible lump in the left side of the neck, in a line from the esophagus, which travels from the corner of the jawbone to the point of the shoulder.  This is not the immediate emergency that choking in humans is. This does not block the trachea, so the horse can still breath. However, the food blockage will build up over time, causing the horse to cough up fluid and food, in addition to causing discomfort and pain.  If the esophagus is blocked with a ball of hay, the saliva has nowhere to go when the horse swallows and so the horse tends to drool heavily. When a horse works out a way to pack balls of hay or grass between the cheek and teeth, to act as a pad or barrier, it is called quidding. This cushions the cheek lining as they chew and reduces discomfort. ...

Dentists and oral surgeons aren’t required to give you your teeth back after they’ve been removed, and many dentists don’t give teeth back as a general rule. To make sure that you get to keep your extracted teeth, tell your dentist that you’d like to keep them before the extraction takes place. After your dentist or oral surgeon removes your tooth, they’re required to properly clean it. This entails cleaning the teeth of any blood, using a disinfectant on the teeth, and then rinsing them with clean water. Make sure your dentist has done all of this before taking your teeth with you. Once your extracted teeth have been cleaned and disinfected, put them in a sealable bag. Oftentimes your dentist will do this for you, but if they don't, ask for a little bag or small tooth container to put your extracted teeth in. If you extracted your teeth yourself at home, you'll need to follow the same protocol that a dentist would when it comes to cleaning them. First, use soap and water to remove any blood or other residue from the teeth. Take a cotton ball or pad and dampen it with rubbing alcohol, gently applying the rubbing alcohol to the teeth to disinfect them. Rinse the teeth with clean water afterwards. Make sure you wash your hands before and after handling extracted teeth.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dile a tu dentista que te gustaría preservar tus dientes con anticipación. Asegúrate de que los dientes extraídos hayan sido limpiados de manera apropiada. Coloca el diente extraído en una bolsa hermética al salir del consultorio del dentista. Limpia los dientes extraídos meticulosamente si tú mismo te los sacaste.


Dentists must either be a doctor of dental surgery (DDS) or a doctor of dental medicine (DMD).  These degrees are equivalent and require the same coursework, including two years or pre-dental college classes and four years of dental school. They also must pass national and state exams to be licensed practitioners.  Call and ask the office from which school this dentist earned his or her degree.  Also ask how long they have been with this particular practice, and how long they have been practicing in general.  A newly graduated dentist might have both advantages and disadvantages over an established dentist, particularly in terms of availability, cost, experience with difficult cases, and approachability, but it is really a personal preference.  The important thing is that they can answer these questions. Do they regularly attend conferences or take continuing education classes? You may want a dentist who stays up-to-date on the latest health information and techniques, especially if you plan to have major work done on your teeth. Also, know about the costs for treatment. Dentists can also get certified by state boards to specialize in certain areas after completing at least two years of advanced schooling. If you know you need a certain type of work done or are looking for a dentist for your child, you might want to find a specialist in one of these areas:  Endodontics (root canal therapy) Oral Pathology (dealing with oral cancer or lesions) or Surgery (removal of teeth and tissues) Orthodontics (braces and repositioning teeth) Pediatric Dentistry (cares exclusively for children and teens) Periodontics (care of gums) Prosthodontics (full mouth rehabilitation) Each state has an online registry on which you can track any history of claims made against a dentist practicing in that state.  Google your state's board of dentistry to find their website. Be wary of dentists with cases brought against them for misconduct or patient dissatisfaction. If you found the dentist online, check for reviews on websites like...

Denture adhesive loosens naturally in the presence of water or moisture. As a result, most denture adhesives contain a substance that absorbs saliva in order to prevent the moisture in your mouth from loosening the adhesive. This works for most of the day, but eventually loses its capacity to absorb any more saliva. At this point, your denture adhesive will naturally start to loosen. You should ideally be able to remove your dentures easily with no adhesive remaining on your gums, and only some adhesive left on the dentures themselves (which can be subsequently cleaned). If you find that your denture adhesive does not loosen enough on its own throughout the day, you can rinse your mouth with warm water. Before you place the water in your mouth, ensure that you can tolerate the temperature and that it is not too hot.  Take a sip of the water and swish it around in your mouth for 30 seconds to one minute. The longer you hold it in your mouth, the more it will help to loosen the adhesive from your gum surfaces. After a minute spit it out into the sink. Repeat this same procedure a couple of times and most of the adhesives will be washed away. Another option instead of water is to use a mouthwash such as Crest Pro-Health. The moisture from the mouthwash can serve to loosen your denture adhesive, while providing you with fresh breath at the same time. You can also use a mixture of salt and water by creating a saline solution to rinse your mouth before taking off your denture. Simply mix about half spoonful of salt into a glass of water for two minutes or until is completely dissolved.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Deja que tu adhesivo dental se afloje de manera natural. Utiliza agua para aflojar más el adhesivo. Utiliza un enjuague bucal.


Deodorants typically work by masking body odor with various scents. One with baking soda as an ingredient will also help to neutralize odor. Antiperspirants work by blocking sweat glands. The lack of moisture from sweat will deter bacterial growth and resultant odor. This means that a antiperspirant will also control odor, while a deodorant alone may only mask it. Most antiperspirants contain aluminum compounds. When you apply the deodorant, these compounds block your sweat glands, preventing perspiration. Some research, however, suggests that there may be a link between aluminum and issues like breast cancer and Alzheimer’s. Other research draws more mixed conclusions. If you are concerned, talk with your doctor. If you are looking for a more natural or additional preventive, try baking soda as a deodorant. Baking soda will neutralize odors, not simply cover them up. Take approximately an eighth of a teaspoon of baking soda in your hand, then add a few drops of water to make a paste. Once the baking soda is dissolved, simply apply lightly to your underarms. If you want to avoid any harsh chemicals in manufactured deodorants, there are numerous recipes available for making your own using natural ingredients, most of which are easily available. Try this easy recipe. Mix one part baking soda to one part cornstarch. Then add four parts coconut oil to each part of this baking soda/cornstarch mixture. If you want an additional scent, add a few drops of an essential oil, like tea tree, lavender, or violet. Store in a glass jar and apply as a deodorant.

Depending on how large or small your business is, you may already have a quality control department. This department tracks and documents any quality issues and work to address them. But depending on a quality control department can actually set your business up for poor performance, as it may demonstrate to your other employees that quality is not their main concern. Investing in training that trains all workers at all levels, rather than solely in a quality control department, will let your workers know they have a responsibility for providing quality service, no matter their role in the company.  Look at gaps in service training in your current workforce. Have your employees take a customer service seminar, online, or in person, as part of a performance improvement requirement. Organize training sessions that target specific issues or gaps, such as how to interact with customers at the cash register or how to handle a speech to a client in a meeting. For example, if you are trying to improve service at the cash register, set up a training session targeted at improving service at the register. You may discuss how to greet a customer at the register, how to ring them through quickly and promptly, and how to hand them their change or their charge card at the end of the transaction. You may also instruct your employees to do mock transactions, where one employee acts as the worker at the register and the other employee acts as the customer. Don’t stop training employees after their first few days or weeks on the job. Teach employees that there is always more they can and should be learning about their job, your business, and how to serve customers. This program will train new workers on quality and service as soon as they start work. It should be a well-rounded program that gives new workers a clear sense of your company’s products, services, and core business strategy. It should also reinforce your company’s approach to customers and commitment to quality customer service.  The program should include an...

Depending on how long your torso or legs are, you may need to look for petite or extended sizes so that the crotch isn’t too high or too low. If you can, try on a romper before purchasing it to make sure the arms, body, and legs aren’t too constricting. If you’re getting a romper with shorts, the shorts should fall on your mid- to upper-thigh area. If you’re getting pants, the hem should fall right near your ankle.  Part of the joy of wearing a romper is that they’re comfortable and stylish, so you want to avoid styles or sizes that are skin-tight. If you get a romper with pants or shorts that are too long, you could always have it hemmed. Black is classic, but reds, blues, and whites are all great options for a jumper. Having a basic piece will allow you to change up your accessories for different events, meaning that you can easily dress it up or dress it down.  A single-tone romper also lets you transition it from summer to autumn more easily because there won’t be a seasonally-specific pattern on it. Don’t be afraid to get a really bright color, too! If something catches your eye, go for it. For festivals, weekend brunches, and summer time trips, a colorful, bright romper can add a lot of style to your look without requiring a lot of extra pieces. For the hot summer months, it can be super nice to throw on a patterned romper, put on some sandals, grab your bag, and head out the door without having to worry about additional touches. Look for a romper with wider legs for a more bohemian style, or get a romper with tapered legs for a more upscale style. Make sure you try on the romper ahead of time to make sure the pants are long enough for your legs. Rompers with pants also make it easier for you to transition the style to an office job.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige un enterizo que te quede holgado y que tenga el largo adecuado. Elige un enterizo de un solo color para que tengas la opción de usar todo tipo de accesorios. Si buscas algo que impresione a la vista, escoge un hermoso enterizo floreado o estampado. Usa un enterizo de pantalón en el otoño e invierno y disfruta de la elegancia durante todo el año.


Depending on how much energy you want to put in, you can give your dog a basic bath or a more thorough cleaning. While thorough cleanings are recommended from time to time, you may just have a muddy pup on your hands who needs a little rinsing. Before getting started, gather these materials so you have everything in one place:  Towels: enough to both dry the dog and protect the ground from splashing water Dog shampoo: shampoo formulated for humans will dry out a dog's skin, so buy dog shampoo at the pet store, vet, or online. If your dog has any skin conditions, consult your vet for recommendations. Sponge Comb or brush Small cup or bucket (for pouring water) Doggy treats (optional, but can comfort stressed dogs) While bathing a dog too often will cause dry, flaky skin, you should still give him a thorough cleaning every once in a while. When you notice your dog getting smelly, it might be time for a cleanup. You'll need everything listed in the last step, plus as many of the following optional materials as you'd like:  Dog conditioner: this will keep his fur soft and smooth after shampooing Toothbrush and dog toothpaste Cotton balls for ear cleaning You don't have to do all these things at once the first time. If you feel your dog is getting overwhelmed, just work on the bath-time first. Then, you may add in more extensive things, like nail trimming, later. Since your dog is small, you have the option of choosing a bathtub, sink, or even a plastic tub or bucket outside. Choose a location where you can stand, sit, or kneel comfortably without straining yourself. The bath area should be warm and free of drafts — only bathe a dog outdoors on hot days, so he won't get cold.  If there's any chance your dog will get skittish and jump away from you, bathe him in a bathtub. Don't risk a fall from the sink! Consider taking your dog with you right into the shower. You'll get wet no matter what, so this can be an effective time and mess-saving approach. Put cotton in your dog's ears if you take him into the shower....

Depending on how old the guy is, he may have completely different social habits than you. If you're in your 20s, and you're after a guy in his 30s, he may not be as interested in going out drinking as you are. You don't have to change who you are to attract an older guy, but you should make sure the two of you are a good fit. An older guy is likely to be more set in his ways, but that doesn't mean you have to follow suit. You can still go out with your friends, but don't leave a string of drunken messages on his phone. Getting over the age gap may be one of the harder aspects of dating an older guy. Avoid making references about his age, and if you bring your friends around, make sure they do the same. An age gap between partners can make it harder to connect. He probably has different hobbies, and different tastes, than you do. Try to connect with him on these things. Listen to music he likes, but also try to expose him to things you like. Don't force him to behave like a younger man, but try to involve him in your hobbies and interests. It doesn't matter how old someone is, nobody likes manipulation. Don't try to make an older man jealous to get his attention, and don't play head games to make him want you.  One reason an older man might hesitate to date a younger woman is the fear of being toyed with. Approach an older guy with confidence and be direct. If you like him, say so.  Don't assume that because a man is older, he's mature and ready to settle down. Some older men may want to take advantage of younger women to make themselves feel younger. Just as you don't want to play games with an older man, don't let an older man play games with you. Don't go after an older man because you want his money. He may be successful, and he may spoil you with the occasional nice date, but that doesn't mean he's going to give you all his money. Don't ask him how much money he makes, or what kind of car he drives. If he gets the feeling that you're only with him for his money, he's likely to end things. If you don't...

Depending on how worn the original bluing is, you may wish to remove it entirely before re-bluing the gun. You can use one of the following chemicals to do so:  A phosphoric acid-based automotive rust remover, such as Naval Jelly. White vinegar, which contains acetic acid. Polishing removes surface rust and any scratches or pitting that the gun may have suffered over the years. You can use either 000 steel wool or 600 to 1200-grit sandpaper for this purpose. How you choose to clean the metal depends on whether you plan to blue the entire gun or touch up existing bluing.  If you plan to blue the entire gun, you may want to immerse the metal in a cleaning solution. Cleaning solutions you can use for this purpose include sodium triphosphate (a commercial detergent), denatured alcohol, or naphtha. (If you choose to use naphtha, you should wash it off with a mild dishwashing detergent and then rinse with hot water.)  If you plan to immerse the gun parts to clean them, you can use a wire basket to hold the small parts and thread thin wire through the barrel to lower it into the cleaning solution and raise it again. If you plan to just touch up existing bluing, you can apply a cleaning oil to the places where you want to remove the old bluing, then apply acetone on cotton balls to remove the cleaning oil. (One such cleaning oil, a mixture of vegetable and mineral oils, alcohol, benzyl acetate, and alkaline salts, is sold commercially under the name Ballistol.) As you clean off the old bluing, you may find some scarring that will require sanding or polishing out. Although this process is called cold bluing, gently heating the gun metal before applying the bluing can help it absorb the bluing better and create a better finish. Heat the metal by leaving it out in the sun for several hours, with a heat gun or blow dryer, or in a conventional oven set to its lowest setting. Slowly apply the solution to the area to be blued as evenly as possible, using a clean applicator. Apply the solution in a single pass to cover small...

Depending on how you choose to wear your bandana, the best location for your decorations will vary. For example, if you plan on wearing your bandana along your neck in a triangular shape, you'll likely want your design with its bottom pointed towards the corner and located in the corner of the fabric. It may help to put on your bandana and take a look at it in a mirror. Then you can mark the fabric with a pencil or washable fabric marker on the spot that best presents your decoration. By using fabric paint, you can create designs that are unique and significant to you. In some cases, you may need painting supplies, like a brush and water, but some fabric paints come in marker applicators.  Many general retailers, art retailers, and craft stores have assorted fabric paints you can choose from. Be sure you choose one that won't come out in the wash! You may want to use a fabric stencil so that your finished painted designs look more professional. For best results, you should always follow the directions on the products you use for decorating your bandana. Fabric paints and markers may need some time to dry before washing, or may have special washing instructions.

Depending on how you've set up your business model, you may be collecting tuition, working on grants and other state-based funding for non-profits, or by engaging in other types of fundraising campaigns. Whatever the case, you're going to need to start raising as much money as possible to give your grand design the big opening and first-year that it deserves.  Apply for grants appropriate to your school and use the money toward implementing your vision. Whether you’re leasing existing space or building a new campus, the acquisition and development of facilities is a significant undertaking. Begin the search for a sufficient location to house your students, or plan for the renovation and construction of new buildings. Start early. The leasing, renovation and construction processes tend to take longer than anticipated. Also, if possible, design your physical space to facilitate your school’s mission. If your school leaders are not among the founding group of the board of directions, conduct a search to find a strong leader with experience in the field and a vision that matches your own. First-rate leadership is essential for all schools and critical for new schools. Your faculty will determine the quality of your school. Nothing else comes close. Your teachers will be the single most important factor in the quality of your school’s education. That quality will determine your school’s success. Attract and retain first-rate teachers who are passionate about education and compassionate with students. Send out announcements to your local parent groups. Ask your friends to spread the word. If you already have parents excited about your school, you can ask them to host open houses and invite your friends. While it may be tempting to take anyone who wants to enroll in your school, it's very important that prospective parents are fully on board with your vision or it could cause serious problems later. If you have a large school to fill, you could consider designing a high-impact branding, marketing and public...

Depending on the application conventions in the industry you’re applying in, it may be inappropriate to include your hobbies on your resume at all. The potential employer may find it irrelevant and you don’t want that feeling to be attached to your application.  Research the corporate culture of the company you’re applying to. Some companies encourage employees to bring their interests into the creative workplace, for example, Google explicitly cultivates an “open culture” workplace where hobbies are welcomed. A hobbies section would be very appropriate for an application in the tech industry with a company like Google. However, if you’re applying for a position at an accounting firm, the corporate culture may not be as welcoming of your hobbies. Leave them off that resume. Whereas a college admissions officer is looking to get a sense of how you might develop over the course of your undergraduate career, a potential employer wants to know, as concisely as possible, whether you would fit into the workplace or not. Stick to 7 words or less per hobby or interest. Don’t dwell on how you feel at one with nature when you go biking every morning if you're applying for a job with a consulting firm. Simply say that you bike regularly and participate in races. Don’t list an interest if you’re not actually passionate about it — if it comes up in an interview, your lack of passion and knowledge will give you away as a resume passer.  Choose interests that not only mean a lot to you, but also demonstrate the kind of person you are. For example, “reading” is a fairly generic activity that doesn’t reveal that much about you. However, running marathons suggests that you possess a high level of dedication and that you can overcome obstacles. "Listening to music" doesn't tell your employee anything about you, but "I have practiced classical piano for 17 years," tells them a lot. "Volunteering," tells the employer something about you, but it's not as detailed as it could be. Say, instead, that you've volunteered weekly at the...

Depending on the auction rules, you may need to pay for the home in cash on the day of the purchase or soon after. However, this isn’t always the case. You may be able to finance your purchase with a pre-approved mortgage. The auction listing will explain the rules for the home you’re interested in buying. If you don’t have enough cash to buy a home that doesn’t allow financing, you may be able to get a personal loan to help cover the difference. However, you’ll need to get the loan before you bid on the home. You can check rates online or visit your local banks and credit unions to discuss rates in person. You may receive a better rate if you go through a bank or credit union where you have an account. Choose the rate that's lowest or offers the best terms.  Review the terms and conditions to make sure they are favorable to you. In some cases, lower rates may carry stricter terms and conditions or may come with higher origination fees. Origination fees are charged when your loan is issued. Count this amount in the cost of your loan. if you can’t pay cash. If your auction allows financed bidders to purchase property, apply for your mortgage ahead of attending the auction. This allows you to prove that you can complete the purchase if you’re the winning bidder. Bring your prequalification letter with you to the auction to provide as evidence that you have the funds. Some auction houses have preferred lenders that they encourage buyers to work with. You can check the listing for this information or call the auction house on the listing for more information. It’s important to go into the auction knowing how much you can pay, especially if payment is expected on the day of purchase. Ask your real estate agent for recent sales listings for comparable properties in the area. As another option, do an internet search to find how much comparable homes are selling for in your area. Then, determine how much money you can actually pay. Determine the maximum you can afford by adding together the cash you have plus the...

Depending on the construction of your house, it may be impossible to accurately guess which walls are load bearing and which are not. In this case, your house's original blueprints or building plans can be a valuable resource. A house's blueprints can give you an idea of where support beams lie, which walls were the original exterior walls, and more. You can use this information to inform your decisions when it comes to designating certain walls as load bearing.  It's not at all uncommon for homeowners not to possess a copy of their home's original blueprints. Luckily, blueprints for your home may be found:  At the county clerk's office In the possession of the original owners In the possession of the original builder and/or contracting company   Finally, it's possible to commission a re-drawing of your home's blueprint from an architect. This, however, can be costly. Procure your house's original blueprint and invest an appropriate amount of time in determining whether a wall you're not sure about is load bearing. Look for the clues listed above - does it contain a major support beam? Are floor joists connected parallel to it? Was it an original external wall? Never tear down a wall until you're confident it's not load bearing, as even experienced home improvement experts can't always tell where a load bearing wall is solely based on visual cues. See wikiHow's guide on reading architectural drawings for more information. Generally, the more renovations your home has had, the harder it will be to tell which walls are load bearing and which are not. During home renovations, non-load bearing walls can be made to bear weight (and vice versa). For instance, hanging or cutting ceiling joists, adding stairways, and adding attic rooms usually require the changing of non-load bearing walls to load bearing walls. Take these changes into account when deciding which walls are load bearing - if your blueprints show walls that don't exist anymore or you see walls in your home which don't appear in the blueprint, figure...

Depending on the design of your dryer, the lint trap will either be on the top of the dryer or located just inside the door. Consult your appliance's user manual if you have any concerns. It is located inside the lint trap, which is the slot the filter slides into. The lint filter is designed specifically to keep lint off of your clothes. If it accumulates too much lint, that lint will then end up on your clothing. Pull the filter gently from the top and it should slide out easily. The filter looks like a fine mesh screen, held in a frame of plastic. Using your fingers initially is the easiest way to begin.  A good trick is to grab a little of the lint in the corner and then slide your fingers across the filter screen, picking up the rest of the lint along the way. Make sure to wipe the entire surface of the filter screen and discard any lint you remove. Use a soft brush vacuum attachment. Turn on the vacuum and brush the attachment across the filter screen, which will remove any remaining lint. Use the vacuum attachment that has the long, thin neck and stick the attachment gently into the trap, as far as it will go. This will remove any residual lint from the trap. Use a soft rag, which will remove any lingering lint. If you notice any stubborn lint, try going back over the area using a dryer sheet. The remaining lint will cling to it. Use a soft rag, which will remove any lingering lint. Use the dryer sheet trick in the previous step for any stubborn lint. The freshly cleaned lint filter should slide easily back into place. You should hear it lock gently back into place. If you don’t, pull the filter out gently and re-insert until you hear it lock into place. Simply remove them and wash with warm, soapy water. Allow them to air-dry thoroughly before replacing.

Depending on the device, you may first need to connect it to a power source. It's the B-shaped icon on the right side of the menu bar that's at the top of the screen. Doing so will invoke a drop-down menu. If your Mac's Bluetooth isn't enabled, you'll need to turn it on in order to view your Bluetooth device. This will likely be a combination of the model number and the manufacturer's name. If you don't see your device's name, press the "pairing" button, or turn it off and then on again. Doing so will prompt your Mac and the device to pair with one another. It's the apple-shaped icon in the top-left corner of your Mac's screen. This option is near the middle of the drop-down Apple menu. You'll see this speaker-shaped icon in the System Preferences window. It's at the top of the Sound window. If you're attaching a microphone, click the Input tab instead. Doing so will select it as your Mac's primary output (or input, if you're attaching a microphone). You can play a video or some music to determine whether or not the audio output is working, or try recording a voice memo with your new microphone (if applicable). You may need to restart your computer or update your computer's software if your device doesn't work.

Depending on the kind of cat you are, you need to choose clothes that match the kind of fur you want. For example, if you want to be a black cat, wear a black shirt with black leggings or a black dress with black flats. If you want to be a calico cat, you can wear a white shirt, an orange sweater, and black tights to give you the spotted effect. This is the fun part. Make the costume something that you are comfortable in but that fits the kind of cat you want to be. Ears are super important to the cat costume. To make your own, grab some cardboard, cardstock, or other thick material. Draw the shape of one cat ear onto the cardboard, elongating the bottom of the ear by about a quarter of an inch. This will be used to make them wearable later. Cut it out. Using it as a stencil, trace around it onto the cardboard, making an exact duplicate. Cut this one out as well. Once you've cut them out and you make sure they match, color the ears black, using either black paint or markers. Once they've dried, fold up the elongated strip at the bottom of the ears. Then, fold the quarter inch section in half, forming a small triangular tube when you fold it against the back of the ear. Tape the flap to the back of the ear, securing it in place. Using two bobby pins, slide one through each of the triangular tubes. Now you can attach them to your hair.  When you apply them, make sure they are even in your hair. You don't want your ears to be uneven. When you tape up the tube area, make sure you cut off any excessive tape from your ears. They will look messy otherwise. The benefit of these ears is that you can style your hair in any way that you want and apply them when you're done. You don't have to worry about a headband pinching your head all night or messing up your hair style. You can also buy pre-made cat ears at a costume store if you don't want to make your own.

Unfortunately, Facebook does not offer gender options other than "Men", "Women", and "All". If you want to offer your ad in more than one language, you can type a different language into the "Languages" text box and then click the proper dialect in the resulting drop-down menu. If you have a specific demographic (e.g., business analysts) in mind, type the first few letters of the demographic's name into the "Detailed Targeting" text box, then click the proper result in the drop-down menu that appears and repeat as needed. You can also click Browse to the right of this text field to look through the available demographics. Click the "Connections" drop-down box, select a category (e.g., Facebook Pages), and click your preferred option in the pop-out menu. For example, to target people who use an app that you designed, you would select the Apps option in the "Connections" drop-down menu and then click People who used your app in the menu.

Depending on the number of people you need to accommodate, the available space you have to work in, and your budget, your choices might vary. The goal is to be safe; but some safe rooms may be more convenient or attractive than others.  A yard bunker safe room is designed to be dug into and installed underground. One outside door opens to above ground, and you can purchase units to fit any number of people. Steel or concrete is your best choice because fiberglass shelters run the risk of cracking. Above-ground shelters can be attached to the outside of a home, or they can be situated within the interior. Some can be designed so that they are indiscernible to the untrained eye, and other rooms are large enough to accommodate many people (for example, at a school or church). These can be built or purchased prefabricated, which is slightly pricier but will ensure that they are built to code. If you are in the construction phase of a new home or business, the safe room can be built into the plans as an additional room in the building. Before beginning construction, its important to create accurate plans that are designed to government specifications. This will ensure that your safe room can live up to its name.  You can obtain free safe room construction plans and specifics at https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/2009. You can use these to design your own safe room or work with a contractor on its construction. Purchase code guidelines to help you plan to build your storm safe room to code. These guidelines are written by the International Code Council, which sets code standards worldwide. Depending on the plan you follow, you will need various supplies potentially including concrete, steel bars, a heavy wooden door, and deadbolts.  Consider using anchors that are power driven around the unit's wall perimeter to avoid horizontal movement and uplift in relation to the concrete floor slab. These are available for masonry as well as wood framed construction. To avoid vertical movement of the roof...

Depending on the reason your child was expelled from school, you may want to evaluate your child’s educational goals and whether or not the traditional public school system is the right environment to meet them. Also, if your child has any special needs or learning challenges, then you may need to look into other ways to meet your child’s educational needs. If your child is expelled and not welcome to return to the same school, you will need to come up with some options for their education. The school district should give you some suggestions on what to do next, but you can also create a plan on your own. Your options include going to a different public school, attending an alternative school, attending a private school, or homeschooling.  Private schools might be boarding schools or day schools. This might include military schools, religious schools, or therapeutic schools.  Homeschooling can help kids who are having social problems. If your child got mixed in with a questionable crowd, homeschooling can be a good option. Your child can even complete schooling online. Find more information about online school through your school district or state/territory education website. Online schooling may also be available in your state. Some organizations offer online public school and home schooling, such as the organization K-12. These programs may be teacher-led or self-directed. Some schools allow for re-entry after a child has completed steps to readmission. The plan might include attending anger management or behavior therapy, going to substance abuse treatment, or completing community service. Someone from the school board may check up on the progress of the readmission plan. Once the re-entry plan has been completed, your child may go before the board once again. The board will vote whether your child will be readmitted. You might need to take some time off from work or tell your workplace what’s going on. If you feel the need to stay with your child during the expulsion, talk to your boss about the situation...

Depending on the room the bird is trapped in, you should select the easiest, largest exit available for the bird. This might be the largest window or, ideally, a door that leads to the outside. It will easiest if you just select one clear exit so the bird will notice it from the light. Once you have sealed off the doors to the room, turned off additional lights, and have clearly opened a door or window so it can exit, leave it alone. There is a good chance the bird will eventually fly out on its own. Birds are very sensitive creatures and they can die due to complications from stress; the least traumatic solution for the bird is to let it attempt to leave on its own. If the bird has not left on its own, you can attempt to 'herd' it toward the exit. Take a large sheet and hold it up with both hands; slowly walk behind the bird, steering it toward the exit so it can fly outside. Some sources suggest that you should throw a towel or sheet on top of the bird to ground it and then pick it up and manually remove it from your home. This method, however, should be avoided except as an absolute last resort, as this could easily injure the bird, even if we can't tell that it is hurt.  Birds are biologically designed to be sensitive to pressure; they can feel very subtle changes in air pressure, so being engulfed by a large towel or sheet can be incredibly painful to them. Their bones are also very fragile so even a gentle human touch could cause significant injury to the bird   Do not use a broom or other object to hit the bird; this will only injure the bird and further prevent it from flying back outside. If you have tried all of these steps and still cannot successfully remove the bird, then you should call a local professional who works in bird removal. They will have a better sense of the bird's behaviors and the best way to remove it safely from your home.

Depending on the scale of your production, you may be able to rely solely on yourself and your actors, or you may need to create large a crew for the video. Here are some positions you might consider filling based on what work you'll need done:  Director: This will most likely be you. You'll be managing all the different parts of the shoot, from sharing your vision to the cast and crew, to mediating disputes between lighting and sound, to making sure there's gas in the car and that all your locations are cleared for shooting. You're the boss, but you're also responsible for more than anyone else. Videographer: The videographer will be in charge of capturing the action on one or more cameras. You'll define the shot, but she will actually frame the scene, work with the gaffer to ensure the set is properly lit, and let the sound guy know when the boom is in the scene. Gaffer: Somebody needs to make sure all the lights are lit, the actors are visible, and everything is right for the shoot. That person is the gaffer. Sound man: On a movie set, he's the guy sticking mics in everybody's faces. For a video, which often doesn't feature dialog, he'll be the guy cuing up the song so the actors have something to work with. In between pressing "Stop" and "Play" and "Rewind," he'll be running to get Cokes, pizza, and other sundries. Grip: This is the lucky soul who gets to move all the wires, all the lights, all the gear, seating, tables, props, and everything else that is brought on set. It's a lot easier to run a shoot when you have somebody to handle those things while you handle the bigger-picture items. Wardrobe: Depending on the budget, you may simply provide direction to the talent ("wear jeans and a tight shirt,") or have costumes made to order for the actors. Whichever way you do it, if there are costume changes involved, make sure somebody can coordinate that between scenes, and that your actors have a bit of privacy for changing. Props: Again, this might be you, but somebody has to find the vehicles used, plus...

Depending on the season, Petra could be very busy with many tourists or less busy and easier to make reservations.  Go during the spring (March, April, May) or fall (September, October, November) if you wish to avoid big crowds. These seasons are less busy than summer months and will also provide more pleasant weather (between 50 °F (10 °C) - 70 °F (21 °C)  If you don’t mind crowds and warmer weather (between 85 °F (29 °C) - 100 °F (38 °C) and above), you may choose to go during the summer (June, July, and August). Petra has many sites to see and, while some choose to pack them all into one day, it is recommended to split the visit into several days. Think about other sites in Jordan or the surrounding area you may also wish to see and determine how long you wish to stay. You can choose either the Queen Alia International Airport in Amman or the King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba. Both options have public transport and car rentals available to get to Petra. The Amman airport is about a 3 hour bus ride to Petra and the Aqaba airport is about 2 hours and 30 minutes away by bus. Search online to view the many options and price differences. Pick a hotel close to the visitor center so you can walk. If you have your own car or don’t mind paying a little extra for a shuttle, hotels further away from the visitor center are also an option.  Make sure to look at the hotel's reviews for any complaints about payment, cleanliness, and customer service. The hotel closest to the Petra entrance is called the Petra Guest House and is within walking distance to the visitor center. Other nearby hotel choices are Candles Hotel, Al Rashid Hotel, and Petra Moon Hotel. If you do not already have a passport, you will need to go through your country’s process for applying. This document is required for international travel.  Look up your country’s requirements for applying for a passport and follow the steps. Usually, instructions can be found on the government’s website. For example, in the United States, you would go...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Visita Petra entre marzo y mayo o entre setiembre y noviembre. Planifica quedarte al menos 2 a 3 noches. Escoge a qué aeropuerto deseas volar en Jordania.

Depending on the show and the network, you may receive a script, or you may get lines to read right on the spot, sometimes known as a cold-read. If you've received the script, make sure to study and memorize your lines carefully. If you have to select the material yourself, make sure to pick out a piece that will allow you to show a dynamic range.  Don't choose a script that only shows one emotion like anger or sadness. Use personally relevant pieces and stay away from experimental scripts, or scripts that don't show off your true acting ability. The more you practice cold-reading, the more you'll become accustomed to taking on a new role with only a couple of minutes to prepare. When you receive a script to cold-read, don't panic and try to memorize the entire script. Instead, relax, read the script carefully, then try to understand the circumstances of the story, your characters motivations, and how the scene affects the plot. Do not look down at your script while the casting agent is reading lines. Casting directors want to be able to gauge your acting abilities, which includes reacting to events in the story or lines in the dialogue. TV is a visual medium, and much of your acting will take place in your face. You can also see how your acting looks on film and alter it to become a better actor or actress. Take note of your facial expressions and any bad habits that you have so you can try to alter them. Bad habits include a noticeable twitch or facial gesture that you do habitually. Take notice of the way you pronounce words and make sure that you enunciate. A TV actor who has experience can provide you with valuable insider knowledge of how auditions and casting work in your area. Talk to friends in the industry or ask a teacher if you're taking an acting class. They can also help you with your audition. You can ask by saying, "Hey, I have an audition coming up, and I wanted to get some feedback on my performance. I need someone to be completely honest and objective so that I can land this role." You...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Practica actuar material nuevo. Domina el arte de la lectura  en frío. Grábate practicando para ver cómo te ves en video. Preséntate a audiciones frente a otros actores y recibe retroalimentación. Elige un atuendo apropiado y cómodo para la audición.


Depending on the situation, it might be appropriate to ask someone to exchange business cards with you. Their business card will usually contain her name, in addition to other contact information.  Even asking for a person's email address often results in learning her name. Many people have their names as part of their email address. You can ask them to enter their phone number in your phone. They'll likely enter both first and last names, along with her number. If you're in a social environment with other friends, there will likely be other people you know. Take this opportunity to introduce someone whose name you know to your new friend.  When you introduce your friend to the person whose name you've forgotten, there's a good chance that the person will then introduce herself to the new person. Once you've heard the person's name, repeat it so that you'll be more likely to remember it. You might easily work this into conversation by saying, "I'm sorry, (name), I'm sorry I forgot to introduce you." If the person hasn't approached you, initiate interaction by introducing yourself. She'll likely reciprocate by introducing herself. She'll also be likely to appreciate your directness.  If you ask what her name is, and don't want to admit that you've forgotten her name, you can say you meant to ask what her last name was. The reason this works is because the person will rarely expect you to remember her last name, and she'll usually reply by saying her first name. Ask whether she goes by her first or her middle name. People will often respond to this question by sharing both names, and even offering more information. For example, she might respond by saying, "I was always Emily Jane to my grandmother, and when I was a kid, everyone called me Emily. But when I came to college, I decided to use the name Jane." People often are flattered by this attention, and may enjoy sharing particular details about their name's history.  Asking them how their name is spelled is one way to do this, particularly if you recall that...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pídele su información de contacto. Presenta a la persona en cuestión a otra. Preséntate otra vez. Pídele más información acerca de su nombre.


Depending on the situation, this may be pretty obvious. If you’ve had a huge fight with your wife, for instance, you may know exactly why she’s giving you the cold shoulder. If you aren’t aware of any problems between yourself and the person ignoring you, though, consider if you might have done something to upset them.  For instance, maybe you were gossiping about a friend behind their back. Whatever you said could have gotten back to them. If you left someone out of your plans or didn’t return their calls or messages, they might be hurt by your behavior. Regardless of why you’re being ignored, the worst thing you can do is to constantly hound the person. Don’t send a bunch of messages, call repeatedly, or keep asking them why they’re ignoring you. Give them some time to figure out how they feel and how, or if, they want to get in touch with you.  A single message or call is fine, but don’t send a bunch of texts like, “Why are you ignoring me?” “What did I do wrong?” or “Please talk to me!” Not only will these messages probably annoy the person, but they might also make you look desperate. It can be really hard to avoid trying to solve the problem immediately. However, you can’t control the other person, so it’s best to just give them some space. Trying to figure out why someone is ignoring you, or obsessing over the fact that they are ignoring you, can take up a lot of time and energy. However, it’s not productive and will only make you miserable. Continue with your daily life and activities. Throwing yourself into your job or schoolwork is a productive way to keep from thinking about the problem. During your free time, spend time doing things you enjoy, whether that’s fishing, baking, playing soccer, woodworking, writing poetry, swimming, knitting, or coding! While it can feel really bad to be on the outs with someone important in your life, they’re probably not the only person you enjoy spending time with. Reach out to other friends and family members and ask them to hang out. Take the time to build up...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Averigua por qué te ignora. Deja que esa persona se tranquilice. Distráete con trabajo, escuela o pasatiempos. Pasa tiempo con personas que te quieran. Piensa en cómo has reaccionado a este comportamiento en el pasado.


Depending on the size and shape of the area in which you're installing fencing, you'll need to figure out how much fencing you'll need to enclose the given space.  If you just want a decorative fence, measure the length of the side of your yard you want to fence. If you want an enclosed fence, measure the total area and the length of each side. If you want a prefabricated fence, measure a single panel before buying. Mark off this distance along your planned fence line and stake the position of each fence panel. You'll end up setting fence posts at each stake, aligning them with the twine line and mounding soil around them above ground level. Call the local utilities companies to determine the locations of your lines if you aren't sure. Do not dig anything until the utility company representatives have identified and marked all the buried lines. You can also call 811 in some areas to get information about power lines. If you want to cut your own fence posts, you'll need wood that will hold up underground. This can be wood rated for direct ground contact, pressure-treated wood which has been injected with preservative, or wood coated with wood preservative at home (as described below). Gate posts and corner posts are usually larger than the rest. If the wood is not pressure-treated, paint the fence posts with copper naphthenate or another wood preservative to one-third of their height and allow them to dry thoroughly, following the manufacturer's instructions. This hinders rot from the contact with the damp soil and the underground sections of the posts. Treat all cut ends with preservative as well.  Alternatively, you can paint on just the below-ground portions in advance, to reduce mess during installation. Treat the rest with an airless sprayer once the fence is complete. Follow all safety instructions on the preservative label. Copper naphthenate can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. Whatever kind of fence you're installing, it's a good idea to mark each corner of the fenced-in area with stakes. At each...

Mide el área que cercarás. Ubica y marca todas las redes subterráneas de servicios públicos. Compra la cantidad adecuada de cerca para el área. Usa los postes y paneles como desees. Coloca una estaca en cada poste ubicado en las esquinas.


Depending on the size of your company there may be company-wide policies in place you should review before planning your employee appreciation day.  Some companies require recreational activities be reported to corporate for tracking purposes.  This is particularly common in large companies where different departments or locations may get jealous of what goes on in your location.  Speak to your local human resources officer if you are unsure where to check for company policies. Some companies prefer that you report these types of events because they can aid in recruitment. Depending on the industry your company is in, there may be busy and slower periods in your schedule.  Manufacturing tends to be busiest near the end of the month to fill orders, whereas retail businesses may have sales, events or inventory-counts to schedule around.  You should schedule your employee appreciation day during one of the slower output periods of time to alleviate stress caused by missing work or impending deadlines. You may want to plan your employee appreciation day for soon after a particularly busy period of time. Come up with a few possible dates to use when presenting the plan to managers, supervisors or human resources. Your budget will dictate how you proceed in planning your employee appreciation day.  You will need to consider how many employees will be participating in the day’s festivities and whether or not you are going to open the event up to their families.  Determine how many people you anticipate will be coming to the event so you can get a sense of how much food you will need and begin to ballpark financial figures.  If you have a budget set before you begin, you can use that to guide your decisions about whether or not to invite families. Food is an important part of an employee appreciation event, but remember to keep room in your budget for entertainment like music or activities. Once you have an idea of your budget and when you’d like to throw the employee appreciation day, meet with team leaders within...

Revisa las políticas de la empresa. Identifica los períodos de producción alta y baja en el calendario del equipo. Decide cuál será el alcance y el presupuesto para el plan. Reúnete con los gerentes y los supervisores. Solicita ayuda.


Depending on the size of your hand and the size of the pen, holding a fountain pen could cause weight and balance issues.  Experiment with the cap posted (i.e. placing the cap on the back of the pen), and with the cap removed.  The pen is usually more in balance when the cap is in place, but each person’s experience is different. Pinch the pen lightly between your thumb and index finger, then slide it towards the end of the index finger.  Use the bottom of your hand, including your ring and pinky fingers, to anchor against the page.  Do not press so firmly against the paper that free movement is restricted.  Do not grab the pen towards the bottom.  If the hand is placed too far towards the end, it can affect the proper writing angle and potential ink flow. This is similar to the positioning in which most people write.  If the middle finger is guiding and squeezing more than being used as a resting point, adjust the pen’s rear closer to the V created where the thumb meets the hand. It may feel more comfortable to place the pen closer towards the end of your middle finger, past the knuckle. The angle is extremely important, since it moves the tines away from the feed and allows ink to flow.  Poor ink flow is usually due to an improper angle.  Keep in mind that each fountain pen requires a slightly different angle at which the tines and feed separate. You will learn to recognize this through practice. Some nibs have been modified by technicians to accommodate angles ranging from 35 degrees to nearly 90 degrees.  The feel will be different than that of a ball-point pen, which is designed to write from various angles, including vertical.  A vertical fountain pen does not utilize the full width of the nib (the tip of the pen). You don’t want the nib to rock side to side as you write.  It’s possible for ink to flow from a variety of angles, but each pen has an optimal spot where the ink flows the best.  Writing with a fountain pen can feel inconsistent if the nib is lifted or angled incorrectly off the paper.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Equilibra la pluma. Toma la pluma con tu mano principal. Apoya el cuerpo en el nudillo inferior del dedo corazón. Acerca la pluma al papel a un ángulo de 40 a 55 grados. Mantén el plumín estable sobre el papel.
