If your host has one built in, stick with that—it will make it a lot simpler. If not, use a third-party FTP host like FileZilla. If you're using the built-in platform, you don't need to worry about this. You'll see two boxes on the left and two boxes on the right. Don't worry about the left or top right ones; all you need to focus on is the bottom right box. It will start the upload right away. If you're using the built-in platform, find and locate the "htdocs" (or default HTML) folder and press "Upload"; it will give you options from there. Don't use the shortcut! This will upload the LNK Mirror file, which you don't want. Then, if you've removed the default page, go and view your website to see your HTML file! If you see a directory listing, click the .html file to view.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Abre tu plataforma de FTP preferida. A continuación, conéctate al servidor remoto (al servidor de tu sitio web). Busca tu archivo HTML y arrástralo hacia el cuadro. Espera a que se termine de subir el archivo.


If your hotel isn't on the internet, it's basically invisible to your potential customers. You could design your own website, but it may be worth the investment to have a professional work on your site- cheap sites are often easy to spot. At the minimum, your site should have hotel's name, location, contact information, and nightly rates. Small hotels often attract guests looking for a more personal touch, so you can cater to this by adding some particular information to your site. Whatever you put on your site, make sure it is accurate and up to date. An outdated site will make your hotel look inactive or unprofessional, which could hurt your business.  Pictures of the property. Guests will want to see where they will be staying. Include pictures of rooms, as well as any scenic views that may be nearby. Biographical information about you. Make your website more personal by placing yourself on the website. If staff are willing, you can include them as well. That will provide the kind of personal service that attracts guests to bed & breakfasts and guest houses. A history of the hotel. Some small hotels are located in historic houses. If so, you'll attract a specific market of history enthusiasts, and you could cater to this by providing a full history of the building and surrounding area. Any special sales or deals that your hotel is offering. Lists and descriptions of nearby attractions. If you are nearby any tourist locations, advertise this information. It will make your hotel look like a convenient place to stay for travelers. These sites and others are designed for people to find hotels and travel destinations. By placing ads on these sites, you'll attract guests from around the country, and possibly even from other countries. Most rest stops have areas with brochures and tourist information. Contact your local Chamber of Commerce to see how you can get your brochures in that pile. Small hotels are sometimes spur-of-the-moment decisions for travelers. By advertising this way, you'll capture this...

If your iDevice does not support Siri, you can still install apps that will give you approximately the same functionality. Dragon Go!, a product from a company called Nuance, is one of the more popular alternatives.  Siri is built off of Nuance technology, so Dragon Go! contains many of the same features as Siri and has similar voice recognition capabilities.  Dragon Go! can access many of your other apps, such as Netflix, Google, Yelp, and more. The Google Search app comes with voice command software that allows you to start Google searches. It does not interact with any of your other apps, but can be used extensively for web searching..

If your iPad is crashing often, performing a factory reset may be the best way to get it working again. You won't lose anything if you back up to iCloud first, but you will have to resync any iTunes content from your computer. You'll need to be connected to the internet to perform an iCloud backup. A wireless connection is recommended so that you don't use your data plan.    " The back up process may take a while to complete. You'll see the date change to today's date underneath when it is complete. Tap the "<" button in the upper-left corner twice to return to the list of settings.  You'll find this at the bottom of the list.  You'll need to enter your screen unlock passcode, as well as your Restrictions code if you have one. This can take 20 minutes or so. You'll see a progress bar underneath the Apple logo. Once the iPad is finished resetting, the new device setup process will start. During the setup, log in with your Apple ID when prompted. This will allow you to restore your iCloud backup. When prompted to restore or set up as new, select "Restore from iCloud." The iPad will download the backup and restore your settings. The apps that you had installed previously will begin downloading to your iPad again. This can take a while if you had a lot of apps, but you can use your iPad while they install in the background.

If your iPod fell in the pool or into a full sink, don't try to turn it on. This could cause irreversible damage by shorting out all of the components. You will need to remove the moisture before trying to power it on again.  Don't simply wipe the phone dry and try to use it. The water can cause serious damage to the inside of the phone when it is wet. While the most effective way to remove the moisture is to put the iPod into a bag of silica gel packets, most people don't have these handy. Instead, put your iPod into a bag or bowl full of rice and make sure it is completely covered. The rice will draw the moisture out of the device over time.   This could cause your iPod to get a lot of dust inside, but it sure beats it being broken for good. Seal the bag or container while you let it sit. It will take a while for all of the moisture to get sucked out of the iPod. You want it to be bone dry when you try turning it back on, so give the rice plenty of time to absorb all of the water. Don't use a hair dryer to dry the iPod. The heat from the blower could cause more harm than good.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No enciendas el iPod. Entierra el iPod en arroz. Espera 24 horas antes de sacar el iPod.


If your ingrown fingernail has become infected, or it has not gotten better after around five days, you may need to see your doctor. Your physician may treat the ingrown fingernail with a topical antibiotic that you spread on the skin.  If the infection is deep in the finger, your physician may prescribe an oral antibiotic. If the ingrown fingernail is caused by a fungus (this is often the case if you have chronic ingrown fingernails), your doctor can determine this and offer treatment options to you. Let your physician know if the pain around an ingrown fingernail is getting worse, if the redness and tenderness spreads, if you cannot bend the finger at any of the joints, or if you have a fever. These symptoms point to a more severe problem. For an ingrown fingernail that is infected but has not started producing pus, your physician may want to lift it. Lifting the nail helps separate the nail from the skin so it can grow over the skin instead of into it.  When the nail is lifted, your physician will place something between the nail and skin to keep it separate. Usually, your physician will put cotton, dental floss, or a splint under your nail. If your nail is badly infected or ingrown, or you feel uncomfortable lifting the nail yourself, you can get your doctor to lift it. If you have recurrent ingrown fingernails, your physician may recommend some form of surgical removal. Most commonly, a doctor will perform a partial nail avulsion. This is where the part of the nail that is ingrown is cut out.  If you have a partial nail avulsion, you will have to watch as the nail grows back. You will have to ensure that the nail does not grow back into the skin. In severe cases, the entire nail bed may be removed using chemicals or a laser treatment. This, however, is rarely necessary for fingernails and is more commonly used to treat ingrown toenails.

Acude a un médico. Haz que te extraigan la uña de manera quirúrgica. Retira la uña encarnada de manera quirúrgica.


If your interest is in working in the scientific or medical field, then the International Medical Interpreters Association offer certification through their Certified Medical Interpreter program (CMI.

If your jade plant has grown for a long time without pruning, it will resemble an overgrown bush. These leggy sections aren’t healthy and are draining resources from the rest of the plant. Use your shears to cut the leggy stems back to 1/3 of their length, cutting at a 45-degree angle.  Leggy sections are thin and longer than other branches. Yellow or light green leaves indicate your plant is overtaxed. Removing them will refocus energy so it can grow in a fuller pattern. When a plant has been left to grow for too long, there will be multiple branches shooting off from the main trunk. Some of these are okay to leave, but remove any that are making the plant look scraggly.  The intersection of the branch and the stem makes a “V” shape. Cut at that intersection at a roughly 45-degree angle. This lets the plant sprout multiple new branches that are thicker and more compact.  It might feel backwards to cut off entire branches of the plant, but by doing so you’re making room for new growth and are giving your plant a chance to grow stronger. Dark spots indicate your plant either has a disease or there are pests present. Left untreated, these dark spots can spread to the rest of the plant. Pruning the entire section is the best chance you have to save it. Try sanitizing your shears with an antibacterial gel in between snips to minimize the risk of spreading disease to healthy parts of the plant.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Poda las ramas largas o caídas. Usa tijeras para cortar las ramas en exceso hasta el nivel del tronco. Corta las hojas o las ramas que tengan manchas oscuras.


If your job has caused you so much stress that you are physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted, it may be time to change jobs. Your health is truly at stake. Signs of burn out include:  lack of energy reduced productivity increased frustration and cynicism a lack of patience trouble getting motivated to start your work day feelings of disillusionment about your job changes in appetite or sleep habits aching in the head, back, or neck Many employees are highly stressed but not yet burnt out completely. Is this your situation? It is normal and acceptable to feel very stressed out occasionally, but prolonged periods of severe stress can definitely take a toll on your body and lead to burnout. Ask yourself what’s causing your stress and whether that situation is likely to improve. If your work stressors cannot be reduced or are related to things outside your control, it might be time to make a change. These factors might include:  a clash of management styles. If your boss is a micromanager, but you feel anxious and unhappy with someone constantly looking over your shoulder, it might be time to look for a new job. a very fast-paced environment. If you are happier in a less demanding environment, a company that expects constant, fast-paced work is likely to cause you major stress. an increased workload with no relief. If your workload never seems to stop growing, and your manager cannot provide some kind of relief, your stress levels will continue to increase. If you are bored at your current job, you will not be motivated to succeed. Ask yourself whether you are ready for a new challenge. If you are, and your employer cannot provide you with new opportunities, it may be time to seek employment elsewhere. Many jobs present serious health risks. Whether you handle hazardous chemicals or climb tall buildings, it’s understandable to evaluate these risks and decide that you’d like to do something less dangerous. If you are no longer comfortable with the risks associated with your current job, look for a new one.

Pregúntate si te sientes agotado. Considera tus niveles de estrés. Reconoce la necesidad de nuevos desafíos. Evalúa los riesgos para tu salud física.


If your joints are tight, exercising may be something that can be hard to get started with.  However, the more you exercise and the more consistent you are, the looser your joints will be.  Studies have shown that those who exercised at least 2 times per week had a significant decline in pain and stiffness in their joints.  An occasional exercise session will loosen your joints and relieve stiffness.  However, if you don't keep up with this routine, your joints will regress back to being stiff. To avoid this, exercise consistently and regularly. This means you'll need to exercise at least 3-4 times per week or more often.  You'll notice that the more consistent you are, the less pain and stiffness you'll feel with time. If you want to loosen your joints with exercise, it's important to put in some extra time before and after a workout to do just that.  Exercise will loosen your joints.  However, you need to give your body time to loosen up through a warm-up.  Spend about 5-10 minutes getting your body warmed up. A warm-up will help increase blood flow to your joints and muscles.  This helps them get physically warm and increases the oxygen and nutrient rich blood that's being delivered. Spend your warm-up doing a few minutes of a slower, lower intensity activity.  You could walk on the treadmill, cycle slowly or use the elliptical without resistance. Keep joints from getting stiff after your exercise routine by stretching and doing range of motions exercises as a cool down. If you have arthritis or another degenerative joint condition, it's likely that you have the occasional ache or pain in your joints.  Most times, it's actually beneficial to push through those pains.  Health professionals note that it's normal and to be expected to have some initial pain, stiffness or tightness in your joints when you first start moving. However, if you continue with movement, stretching or range of motion exercises, the pain should subside.  Continued movement helps lubricate your joint which can help it loosen it up and...

If your kettle manufacturer states that you should not use vinegar to clean your kettle, you can use lemon instead. Make a solution with lemon and water. Squeeze a lemon into water and then cut up the lemon and place the slices in the water. Fill the kettle with this solution.  Boil the water and let it soak in the kettle for around an hour. Dump the water and rinse the kettle. Alternately, you can use a lime instead of a lemon. Another cleaning option is to make a solution of baking soda and water. Mix around a teaspoon of baking soda into water. Pour this into the electric kettle and bring to a boil.  Let the solution soak for around 20 minutes. Then, pour out the solution and rinse with cold water. This should remove the scaling inside the kettle. If you want to use a commercial cleaner, find a kettle cleaning product online or in your local home improvement store or supermarket. You should dilute the cleaning product with water according to the directions and boil the solution in the kettle.  Leave the solution in the kettle to let it soak. Rinse the kettle with cold water.

If your land has four equal sides, it is a square, and if all four corner angles are right angles (90 degrees) it is a rectangle. In these cases, the first method will work perfectly. Sometimes, however, your land may have four straight sides, but the corners may have angles other than 90 degrees (often different for each corner). This is known as an irregular four-sided shape.  In this case, calculating acreage gets more complex because you need to determine the area of a shape with often four different angles at each corner. A shape with four sides is known as a quadrilateral, and this not only includes right-angled shapes (like squares and rectangles), but also other shapes without right angles like kites, parallelograms, trapezoids or rhombuses.. Since there are four types of quadrilaterals that are not squares and rectangles, there are also separate formulas for each type. For this reason, the easiest way to calculate the acreage of your property if it has an irregular shape is to use an online calculator. Your job is therefore to determine the inputs for the calculator. A Google search for "area of a quadrilateral" calculator will yield several results to choose. You may need to convert the results into acreage at the end (if the numbers you input are in square feet, yards, or meters). Calculating the size of an area of an irregular shape is more complicated than with a more straightforward square or rectangular shape. The same principles of determining the size in square feet, yards or meters and then converting it to acres still apply, but calculating the size is harder when you cannot simply multiply length by width.  Begin by designating the corners of your shape A, B, C and D. Start by marking one corner as A, and then go around the shape clockwise marking the other corners B, C and D. Once you have marked the corners of the shape with the letters you need to begin your measurements. First of all measure from A to B and record it. Then measure B to C, and then C to D before the final measurement of...

If your laptop has an HDMI out port, connect one end of an HDMI cable to it, and the other to an available port on your TV. Make note of which HDMI port you connect to.  If your computer doesn't have an HDMI out port, check to see if it has a DisplayPort or Micro HDMI port.  You may need an adapter to connect these ports to your TV.  You may also be able to connect to a TV using Bluetooth, but there may be a lag between the video and audio. For older computers, you may be able to connect your laptop to your TV using the DVI or VGA port and an HDMI adapter.  These connections do not carry an audio signal. To get audio, you will most likely need to use a 3.5mm stereo-to-RCA cable to connect to the headphone port on your computer to an RCA input that corresponds to the video in on your TV. Press the Input or Source button on your TV remote to select a video source. Once you select the right port, you should see your laptop screen mirroring to your TV.

If your legs are swollen, you can lay on your back with your legs propped up above your head. This will help reduce the swelling. If the swelling is consistently bad, try sleeping like this. Don’t cause yourself pain, but massage the area where you notice swelling. Rub the muscles firmly to reduce fluid build-up in your muscles. If you find yourself sitting or standing in one position for a long time, take a moment to stretch. Each hour, take just 2-5 minutes to stretch. Ankle pumps, quad stretches, and calf stretches are a great way to get the blood flow without doing a lot of movement. You can do these stretches silently at your desk or while standing so that it they don’t disrupt your day. If your hands and fingers feel swollen, focus on shoulder and back stretches.

If your lemon tree doesn't get enough water, the natural salts that it produces may accumulate in the soil. Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.  If using hard tap water, you may need to drop the water's pH before giving it to your tree. Adding 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) white vinegar to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water will usually do the trick. If your tree’s leaves are curling, your tree needs more water. To imitate outdoor conditions, open a door or window near your plant in warm weather. If the air is too cold, set up a rotating fan near the lemon tree to help the air stay well-ventilated. your plant once every few months. Lemon trees grow well if they get plenty of nitrogen—you can find nitrogen-rich fertilizers at most plant stores. Feed your plant once every 3 weeks in spring or summer and once every 6 weeks in fall and winter.  An NPK fertilizer of 2-1-1 works well for citrus trees. Do not use fertilizers containing alfalfa meal or cottonseed meal. Fertilizers containing these meals can cause fungal diseases. Pruning too many leaves will reduce your yield, but occasional pruning can be helpful. Remove dead, broken, and diseased branches, and thin to control the height and spread of your tree as space allows. Lemon trees can be pruned year-round when grown indoors. Lemon trees naturally grow in humid climates. Placing a humidifier near the tree can keep the air from getting stale. Set the humidifier to at least 50% to give your plant enough moisture in the air.  Misting your lemon tree with water several times a week or when it rains can also restore the plant's humidity levels.  If you live in a humid location, you may be able to get enough humidity from opening a door or window. These trees do best in rooms with an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21.1 degrees Celsius) by day and 55 degrees Fahrenheit (12.8 degrees Celsius) at night. While temperatures that dip below 55 degrees Fahrenheit (12.8 degrees Celsius) will not kill your tree, they will cause your tree...

If your little one is struggling to maintain self-control, as most toddlers do from time to time, start by giving him/her a warning.  Make sure that the warning is clear and spoken in a language that he is able to understand. You might want to say, “Jason, if you hit your friend again then you will take a timeout.” If the inappropriate behavior continues, then guide your toddler to a timeout area. An ideal timeout area is a quiet place that is free from distractions such as television, toys, and other children  It might be helpful to have a predesignated timeout space in your home or other places that you visit frequently. This way you can avoid the added frustration of trying to figure out a good timeout spot. Be sure that you tell your child why he is being taken to timeout. And be sure to criticize the behavior and not the child. For example, you might say, “It is not okay to hit Sam” rather than saying “You are a bad boy for hitting Sam.” Most experts agree that the most appropriate timeframe for time out is one minute per year of age.  So, your three-year-old would be in timeout for three minutes, your four-year-old would be in timeout for four minutes, etc.  Your child may resist staying in timeout and this is completely developmentally appropriate for a preschooler. If he refuses to stay put, firmly but gently hold him/her down by his shoulders. You may also try placing him/her on your lap and securely holding him/her there while he remains in timeout. Some parents prefer to take a timeout away from their child instead of when the child is resisting. This could simply mean telling your child that you are taking a timeout from him/her and then staying in the same room to monitor him/her but not responding to him/her. Reintroduce your child back into a positive activity after the recommended time in timeout is complete. If he is still engaging in agitated or frustrated behavior, it may be helpful to give him additional time to cool down. Let him know that he is free to return to the other activities as...

If your lock has a number stamped on it, write it down.  Some locks will not have a serial number. Ask the distributor to contact the manufacturer on your behalf to validate your ownership of the lock and provide you with the combination.  If the lock is attached to an object, for instance a box, retailers will likely not assist you. Be aware that the retailer may charge a fee for this service. Visit the manufacturer's website to find out if they offer this service.  Due to security concerns, manufacturers will likely not provide the combination over the phone or via email. You may be required to furnish proof that you own the lock, such as a notarized document certifying your ownership. If the lock belongs to a school or business, the administrators may have a list of combinations based on serial numbers.  Write down the serial number to bring to the main office. If the lock is attached to something, for instance a locker, be prepared to furnish proof that you have a right to access the belongings within the locker.

If your lug nuts are stuck, you'll need to exert extra force to remove them. Before you do that, you want to make sure that your car isn't going anywhere. Make sure you're on a flat surface and that your parking brake is engaged before attempting to wrangle with tenacious stuck-on lug nuts. Factory lug wrenches usually have short handles that don't provide much leverage. The first and safest thing you should do is get the physics of leverage on your side. If the handle of the wrench you're using is longer, it'll be much easier to loosen the nut.  Increase your leverage by using a "breaker bar." These are typically longer and stronger than the lug wrenches that come with most cars. If the breaker bar alone is insufficient, find a length of pipe that you can fit over the handle of the wrench or breaker bar so that you are able to turn from farther away from the nut. You should be able to use your hands. When choosing a pipe, the closer to the size of the handle, the better.

If your man was never an obsessive shaver or hair-cutter and now he’s always shaving his face, maintaining his hair, and checking himself out in the mirror, then he may be getting ready for another woman. You should also check to see if he’s starting to shower more often, especially if he does it right when he comes home. This may be because he wants to wash another lady’s scent off of him as soon as possible. If your man never cared much about his physique before, but he’s suddenly going to the gym every day, running, or lifting weights in the basement, this may mean that he’s trying to get his body in shape for another lady.  Of course, you should consider other factors: maybe he is having a mid-life crisis and wants to look good again, or maybe he just became motivated to care more about his body. You should also look out to see if he is suddenly obsessed with his diet. This could also indicate that he is paying a lot of attention to his body for another woman. This is a big red flag. If your man smells different suddenly, it may be because his body chemistry has changed from being with another woman. And if he just smells like perfume, girly lotion, or anything else feminine, then this definitely says that he’s been spending time with another woman. Your husband's body language can also say a lot about whether he is cheating on you. Even if he says the right things, his body could betray him. Here are some signs that something has changed for him:  Note the amount of eye contact he gives you. If you used to always look into your eyes when you spoke but now always looks away, he may be doing it out of guilt. Note a lack of affection. If he used to kiss you, hug you, put his arm around you, and let you know how much he cared through his touches but never touches you any more, then something may be up. See if he turns away from you when you are talking. If he crosses his arms, turns away from you, and does not face you with his body, then he may be retreating because he is uncomfortable. Notice if he shows...

Presta atención a los cambios en sus hábitos de arreglo personal. Observa si le presta más atención a su cuerpo. Revisa si huele diferente. Observa su lenguaje corporal.


If your medical equipment is in good condition and it is still currently used by medical professionals, you will likely be able to find a buyer for it. However, some equipment is in higher demand than others and you should be aware of high resale value items. The prices for these items may be competitive and you may want to factor resale value when you are buying medical equipment as well.   Popular medical equipment items for resale include:  Wheelchairs Anaesthesia machines Surgical tables Defibrillators Ventilators Infusion and syringe pumps Patient monitors Incubators Infant warmers Surgical microscopes EKG machines Before you can sell your used medical equipment, you will need to clean it up and make it look almost as good as new. If you are selling a used wheelchair, for example, you should use cleaner to wash and clean the chair. You should also wash the wheels and make sure the wheels still work properly. Cleaning the equipment will ensure it is in selling shape and will look appealing in advertisements. It is also easier to assess how used the equipment is when it is clean and looking its best. You may then factor in its level of use in your pricing of the equipment when you sell it. Once you have cleaned up the equipment so it looks its best, you should take four to five good photographs of the equipment at different angles. You can then use these photographs in your advertisements for the equipment.  Use a good digital camera to get several clear shots of the equipment. You may want to have someone use the equipment as you photograph it so you can show that the equipment is in good working condition. Photograph the equipment against a solid white background so it is easy to see the equipment in the images. The images should only show the equipment and no other clutter or items, especially if the other items are not for sale. Use good lighting to it is easy to view the equipment and use a high resolution for the images so they will look good in your online advertisements. When photographing the...

Seeing how people other than you trust and appreciate your girlfriend can slowly wear your mom’s reservations down.  Ask friends to casually mention some mom-friendly things about your girlfriend in conversation. For example, they could say, “Man, your girlfriend killed at that test today,” or, “Sorry we’re late, but your girlfriend just had to walk a bunch of carts back to the store before she’d get in the car.” Your siblings could ask you questions when your mother is around like, “Why are you so happy today?” or “Why did you put all your clothes away so fast?” Your answers give you a chance to brag about your girl. Don’t be too obvious, or your mother will get the idea that something is up. You might feel like you are caught in the middle between your parents and your girlfriend, and that’s because you are. However, taking sides by pulling away from your family or playing one against the other rarely works.  Remember that the goal is to have everyone get along. You need to stay on both sides. Avoid speaking negatively about one person when alone with the other. You want your mom and girlfriend to respect each other, not just tolerate one another. You get along with both your mom and your girlfriend so there must be a few hobbies, opinions, favorites, or personal similarities that you can use to ease your mom’s nerves.  Mention these things around your mother casually so it isn’t obvious what you’re doing. If your mom says something that your girlfriend would agree with, try saying something like, “That’s funny. My girlfriend thinks the same thing. I’m not so sure though.” You...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Controla la urgencia de hablar sin parar sobre tu novia. Pídele a tus amigos y hermanos que te ayuden. Evita tomar partido por alguna de las partes. Busca cosas que tu mamá y tu novia tengan en común y úsalas para salvar las diferencias. Evita una relación que traiga atención negativa a tu familia.


If your mom sees her coming to watch you play football, helping you study, or gushing over your artwork, that will help your mom realize that your girl appreciates you for you (not just your boyfriend status).  You could say to your girlfriend, “Hey, my mom is still a little weird about us dating. Would it be okay if we make sure you come to the same games of mine that my mom does so she sees you there each time?” If your girlfriend has an innocent gift for you, why not plan to have her give it to you in front of your mom? Parents have invested much into your life, and they love you an awful lot. It is natural for them to want you to date someone who is willing to invest in you too. Of course, this goes both ways: let your parents see you taking an interest in your girlfriend’s larger life as well. Your girlfriend doesn’t have to pretend to like everything your mother does to win over her affection. If your girlfriend is friendly and respectful while still being her genuine self, your mom is more likely to warm up to her. Everyone can benefit from learning to be courteous while disagreeing with someone. Your mother’s hesitations will lose steam when your girlfriend acts like a respectful and integrated member of the family already.  For instance:  If your mom doesn't like you using your cell phone during dinner, remind your girlfriend not to text during those times. If your mom dislikes profanity, let your girlfriend know! If family members remove their shoes when they walk in the door, don’t shirk the rule for your girlfriend.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que tu novia demuestre un interés en tus pasatiempos y fortalezas. Alienta a tu novia a ser sincera y amistosa cuando esté cerca de tu mamá. Enséñale a tu novia las reglas y costumbres de tu hogar y haz que las respete.


If your mom uses an argument that she or an older sister didn’t start shaving until a certain age, point out that girls start growing body hair at very different times, can have darker or thicker hair that shows up more, or just don’t have the same circumstances with friends at school or other pressure to shave. Just because things are happening to you at an early age doesn’t mean they’re less valid.  You can tell your parents that puberty, when body hair starts growing, is happening at a younger and younger age on average, which explains why your mom or older sister might not have had to deal with it until later than you. Reference friends that started shaving at even younger ages than yours, pointing out that it just depends on each body and hair. Let your parents know if other girls are pressuring you to shave your legs or bullying you about the fact that you don’t. They may let you start for this reason, and they may also give you valuable advice about dealing with bullies or peer pressure. Tell your parents exactly what other girls are saying or what they’re doing to make you feel bad about not shaving. Be honest because your parents can help. Tell your parents that your leg hair causes you discomfort, either because you’re embarrassed to show it or because it makes you feel itchy or hot. Point out that you have to wear pants or tights even when it’s very hot out because of your embarrassment, and that this is very uncomfortable or even dangerous in high temperatures. Bring up the fact that you are about to go to summer camp, start lifeguard training, or participate in a sport for which you’ll be wearing shorts all the time. Let them know this is an ideal time to start shaving. Point out that shaving your leg hair will help you to focus on and enjoy your activities more. Let your parents know that you want to do this for YOU and not anyone else. Assure them that you don’t want to shave to impress boys. Even if your motivation is just to fit in with other girls, explain that having self-confidence and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Recuérdales que la edad no importa. Menciona la presión de tus compañeras o el acoso. Hazles saber que es incómodo. Menciona tus actividades. Diles que te ayudará a mejorar tu confianza.


If your mother agrees to let you shave, it’s obviously easy to accept her decision. However, if she says no, you should still accept it without yelling or whining. Let her explain the reasons why she doesn’t think you should start shaving, and try to understand. By responding in a mature manner, it may help you be able to convince your mother in the future.  It’s completely normal to feel frustrated, angry, or upset if your mother won’t allow you to shave. Instead of yelling at her, though, vent to your friends. If she says no, you might say, "I wish you would let me shave, but I understand how you feel. Thank you for considering the idea." She'll appreciate the fact that you're respectful and mature. Even if your mother says no, you may still be able to reach some common ground if you’re willing to compromise. Tell your mother that you’ll only shave below the knees so you’ll feel more comfortable in shorts, or ask if you can just try shaving once for a special occasion, such as a beach party. You might also ask if you can use a hair removal cream instead of shaving. If your mother does agree to a compromise, don’t push the issue and try to ask for more. Be grateful for whatever amount of shaving or hair removal that she’s allowing. If your mother says no and isn’t willing to compromise, it can be very frustrating -- but it doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. Now that you’ve broached the subject, your mom is probably going to continue thinking about it, even if she hasn’t allowed you to shave yet. After a little time, ask her again to see if she’s changed her mind. If you responded maturely when she said no before, she may be more receptive to the idea in the future. It can be difficult to wait, but give your mom at least a month or two before you ask about shaving again.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No discutas con ella. Hazle una propuesta. Inténtalo una vez más.


If your mugs are perfectly fine but unwanted, donating them is a good option. Thrift stores that sell housewares will usually accept donations of unwanted mugs, but it doesn’t hurt to ask any local thrift store. Then your old mugs can be enjoyed by someone else until they’re broken or ready to be recycled again. More and more recycling facilities are accepting materials outside the usual aluminum, glass, and plastic categories. Do a quick search online to see if any recycling programs in your area accept ceramic for recycling. Keep in mind that many programs that recycle ceramic exclusively mainly accept large bathroom fixtures like toilets and sinks, so make sure they accept coffee mugs before traveling there for no reason. Mosaic is a popular and super cool style of artwork where images are pieced together from bits of broken glass, ceramic, or other materials. Local artists may be interested in crushing your coffee mugs for use in environmentally friendly mosaic art. Plus, art supplies are expensive, so this could be a big help for a talented artist. Advertising the mugs on a classifieds site like Craigslist or Freecycle is an ideal way to get in touch with artists. Get rid of your old mugs, along with other unused items, and make a little cash at the same time. Just be sure that the mugs you’re selling are clean and unstained. Slap a price tag on them for a cheap price and wait for them to sell.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dona las tazas viejas a una tienda de segunda mano. Pregunta al centro reciclaje local si aceptan cerámica. Dale tus tazas de café a un artista. Vende las tazas en un mercadillo de segunda mano.


If your nail spots do not go away with a home treatment, make an appointment to see your doctor. While usually not harmful, white spots on nails can sometimes indicate underlying problems like anemia or liver issues. Also, in the event you have nail fungus, you may need prescription medications. If your doctor diagnoses a fungal infection as the cause of your white spots, they may give you a prescription for an oral anti-fungal medication. Typically, these medications are taken for 6 to 12 weeks and should eventually eliminate symptoms of nail fungus induced spots. Make sure you discuss any existing health problems you have before taking an anti-fungal medication. Anti-fungal medications can cause rashes or can damage the liver. A doctor may also prescribe an anti-fungal cream or polish that you apply to the nails. You usually apply the cream to your nails for a set period of time. This can range for a few weeks to up to a year.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Acude a un médico para que te revise las manchas blancas que no desaparecen. Toma medicamentos antimicóticos. Usa esmalte o crema medicada.


If your native language is Latinate, this will be very easy. If it's not, start with the basic sounds of each letter. There are 26 and there's a song to help you remember. Unlike many Germanic and Romance languages, English letters don't necessarily correlate with one specific sound (this is why English is regarded as one of the hardest languages to learn). Know that the vowels (and certain consonants in certain environments) have two or three sounds, depending on the word. For example, "A" sounds different in father, path, and say. Your number one resource will be a real live person that you can ask your questions to. He or she will be able to provide you with material and tasks to improve your skills. They'll also demand that you speak -- a skill that is pretty hard to learn on your own.  Headway, Face2Face, and Cutting Edge are all popular and reputable lines of books. But if you have a teacher, they'll be able to point you to (or even give you) a book that may be more catered to your interests. If you're looking for simple business English or simply conversational English, you may be better off with a book of a narrower focus. The best teacher is someone who's actually a teacher. Just because someone can speak the language does not mean they'd be a good teacher. Try to find someone who has a bit of experience tutoring or supervising others, if not teaching. It is a skill and, to top it off, more weathered teachers will probably have more resources for you. The internet is jam packed with resources to fill your time, bettering your language skills. Any English website is good, but you may find you're happier with ones geared to your abilities. There are many simple English websites or websites for recommended easy reads.  Simple Wikipedia is a great source for information on anything put into language that's easy to understand. With this site, you can study the things that interest you while simultaneously learning English. Breaking News English and BBC Learning English are good sites for news stories,...

If your natural hair color is brown or black and you’ve recently dyed it blonde, there’s likely a lot of orange in the strands. The lightest Wella toners won’t be able to cancel out the brassiness completely. Instead, opt for a richer beige shade to lift your color. These shades are also great if you want hair that’s light but not quite platinum.  If you want your hair blonder after using the medium shade, wait a few weeks, then tone again with a lighter toner, like T10, T18, T14, or T28. Now that the orange has been lifted out, your hair will be able to pick up the platinum shades more effectively. To see what these shades look like, view Wella’s shade chart at this link: http://media.wella.com/professional/m/_enus/products/color_charm/pdf/WCC-LA-R009-14_ProductKnowledge_Guide_3.pdf These lightest, whitest shades will get you to a platinum color if your hair is already a lemony blonde. If your hair is still brassy and orange, wait on using this light toner, because it won’t be strong enough to noticeably change the shade of your hair. Look at Wella’s shade chart to see what these tones look like in person. You can see the shade chart here: http://media.wella.com/professional/m/_enus/products/color_charm/pdf/WCC-LA-R009-14_ProductKnowledge_Guide_3.pdf Hair developer helps to open up the hair cuticle so that it can pick up the color more effectively. A 10 volume developer is the least powerful, and works best if your toner is dark blonde or even ash brown, or if you’re trying to get rid of only mild brassy tones. A stronger 20 volume developer will not only open up your hair cuticle to help the toner take effect, but will also lighten your hair on its own. This makes it a great choice if you’re looking to tone your hair to a very light blonde shade or if your hair is a more noticeable orange color.  Don’t use a 30 or 40 volume developer at home. Higher volume developers could seriously damage your hair if not applied by a professional colorist. The best place to buy Wella products is online, through sites such...

If your nerve is exposed, it will be sensitive to variances in temperature. Both hot and cold temperatures will cause extreme pain. Prevent this pain by staying away from hot coffee, tea, soup or other foods. Don't drink iced drinks or eat ice cream.  The best temperature for foods or beverages will be about the same temperature as the air. Wait until coffee or tea is room temperature before drinking. These will cause a nerve to hurt. In addition, they will eat away at the already-damaged enamel of your tooth.  Examples of foods to avoid include tomatoes, oranges, lemons, and coffee. In addition to high sugar content, most soft drinks contain phosphoric and citric acids that wear away tooth enamel. Both acetaminophen or ibuprofen can effectively handle the pain that comes with a chipped or broken tooth. Most toothaches are caused by inflammation of the gum or nerve tissue, so an anti-inflammatory pain reliever will work best.  Never put a pain reliever directly on the injured tooth itself. Check for possible interactions with any other medication you may be taking. A pharmacist will be able to answer any questions you may have. Topical numbing gels, such as Anbesol, may help briefly, but are unlikely to provide any sustained pain relief from cracked tooth pain. Take a piece of dental floss between your two index fingers, and gently slide between each tooth. If any food is pressing against your broken tooth, the floss should remove it.  Make sure that you go all the way to the gum line. Waxed floss is recommended as it makes it easier to slide between your teeth. Oil-of-cloves, or eugenol, is an effective natural pain reliever. Apply a small amount of the oil to a cotton ball, and press the cotton ball against the painful tooth for about 10 seconds.  Be careful not to swallow the oil-of-cloves. Oil-of-cloves can be found at many natural foods stores. You can get a temporary dental cement from most drug stores or pharmacies. These temporary fixes will help cover the crack in your tooth, which will help with the...

If your new love interest seems to always pay for everything you do in cash, it may because he or she doesn't want the spouse to see the charges on the credit card bills or debit card statements. In today's world, most people pay with things, especially meals, with credit cards. If every date is paid for in cash, this could be a red flag. Some people do carry cash around to pay for cheaper transactions, such as movie tickets and fast food meals. Other people who are financially well off may carry around hundreds of dollars in cash. Most people, however, generally use a mixture of debit cards, credit cards, and cash. m. Another red flag that someone might be married is the limited times they can see you, especially at night. People who are serious about the person they are dating or who are serious about the budding serious relationship will be willing to extend the date past 10 p.m. Occasionally, they may need to be home at an early hour, like on weekday nights. Weekends, however, should open up the schedule for later dates. Can he only see you between the hours of 6 p.m. and 9:45? If so, then it may be because he has to get home to his wife and family in a reasonable time frame. It's okay if this happens once in a while, but if he always says he has to get back home because of a big meeting the next morning or an early flight, then he may just be making excuses. Have you been to the person's house? If you've been dating for a few months and haven't seen the person's home, that may be a cause for concern. Listen for constant, flimsy excuses: his place is too messy, or your place is so nice. If you always go back to your place and have no idea where the other person lives, then you might should worry.  Find a reason to go back to his home. If he consistently refuses to let you see where he lives, he may be married. People who are cheating act very secretive when it comes to phone calls. Decide if the person's phone habits make sense or if there might be cause for concern.  Does he receive a lot of phone calls...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Observa si la persona paga todas las citas con dinero en efectivo. Ten en cuenta si la persona tiene que estar en casa a las 10 p.m. Piensa si alguna vez has estado en su casa.

If your only option seems to be making up a more elaborate excuse—or if you just want to be daring—do so carefully. Many common excuses, like “my dog ate my homework,” are familiar to teachers and they will not believe them. It is difficult to outsmart a teacher who has years of experience working with students and their excuses. Teachers are familiar with many excuses, and can often recognize outlandish ones as untrue. Turn in the illegible or destroyed assignment, so that you can show your “proof” of your excuse.  Crumple and tear a paper assignment. Then you can tell the teacher that it flew out the window and got run over or trampled on. Smear dirt and water on your assignment and claim it fell in a puddle. Make sure to write a few words (bonus points if it relates to the homework assignment) so that it looks believable. Spill something dark (like juice or ink) on the assignment so that it is illegible. For instance, if you have to save work to a USB drive, you can claim to have a problem with the file. If you are asked to email or otherwise electronically send a homework file, you can “accidentally” send a different assignment, or the “wrong” draft (which could have just your name and the first part of the assignment, for instance). You might even be able to purchase corrupted files.   Be aware that your teachers can be tech-savvy and know all of these tricks, so you might have to get creative. your homework fell out of your bag, you grabbed the wrong folder at home, you had a funeral to go to. For instance, with math work you can write random figures or answers to make it look like you did the work. This might take a lot of time, however, and if your teacher looks closely you might get caught. For instance, if you tell your teacher that you forgot your homework in your locker, he or she can just ask you to go and get it, and you will be caught.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz que cualquier excusa inventada suene lo más creíble posible. Corta tu tarea para que tu profesor no pueda saber que realmente no hiciste el trabajo. Crea una excusa basada en alguna falla tecnológica. Inténtalo con una excusa menos creativa que pueda funcionar. Finge haber hecho la tarea si es posible. Evita dar excusas que sean contraproducentes para ti.


If your opponent uses dirty tricks, there's no reason why you should hold back. When in a planned fight, you and your opponent should come to a mutual agreement of what is and isn't allowed in the fight. You can also get an impartial third party to help lay down the rules and act as a kind of referee for the fight. correctly. Before you even think about throwing your first punch, you need to have a perfect fist. Curl your fingers inward onto your palm and make sure your thumb is on the outside, folded across the bottom knuckles of your first few fingers. If your thumb is on the inside of your fist, you are likely to break it. Unlike a street fight, letting your foe make the first move is a reasonable strategy. Make sure to avoid every strike you can and spring back with a counterattack. It's important that you keep your body in motion, making punches difficult to land. A proper fighting stance will also make you harder to hit by creating a smaller target. Instead of facing your opponent head-on with your shoulders in parallel, stand to the side with your dominant half forward. You won't be able to dodge every punch. For the hits you have to take, absorb the shock as best as you can to make them less effective.  When taking a body blow, brace for impact by tightening your abdominal muscles. Shift your torso so that your opponent's fist lands at your abdominal muscles to the side rather than at the center near internal organs. For blows to the head, flex your neck and jaw muscles and lean into the punch. Make sure the hit lands on your forehead, which is incredibly tough. Above all, never let a strike land at your temple, jaw, or nose. Although it's not generally acknowledged, there is an unspoken rule between men that strikes to the groin aren't acceptable in fair fights. It's considered to be a dirty trick along with other actions like eye gouging and hair pulling. If you come out on top with these methods, your friends are unlikely to consider it a legitimate win.  Weapons should also be off-limits unless...

If your ostomy bag is lower on your abdomen, you can easily conceal it by tucking it into your underwear. High-waisted underwear will not only keep your ostomy bag concealed, but will also help support it. Elastic underwear offers the best combination of comfort and protection for your bag. High-waisted pants may snag on stomas with higher placement and cause discomfort. Low-cut pants fit underneath your bag and stoma, eliminating any snagging and tugging. Secure your bag and stoma with a belly band to conceal the area and provide extra protection. Layer a camisole and a cute cardigan or jacket over low-cut pants to camouflage your stoma area further. High-waisted pants will fit more comfortably over your stoma. Pleated pants are best for concealing your bag; the folds will distract from the area.  Alternatively, try wearing maternity pants. This style of pants features a band that's already attached to the waist and will adequately cover your ostomy bag. Choose elastic-waisted pants if you want extra comfort.  Wear your high-waisted pants with your favorite blouse or casual top. You can wear tighter tops with high-waisted pants, since your pants will provide ample coverage for your bag. Loose shirts make it easy to keep your bag concealed because they're so much roomier than tight-fitting tops. A loose shirt will billow over your entire middle, making your bag indistinguishable. To increase the camouflaging effect and keep everything in place, wear a belly band over your stoma and bag.  Wearing a belly band underneath a tight shirt will smooth out the area and keep your bag comfortably secured. Pick any color you like, though black, white, and nude shades work best with most outfits.  Peplum tops will cover up your stoma in a flattering way, but may snag as your bag fills. Counter this by layering a belly band underneath your top.  Wear a cute tunic blouse with a pair of leggings and comfy ballet flats for a cute, romantic look.  Layer a fluttery tank top with skinny jeans and sandals to create a simple,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa ropa interior de talle alto y elástica para cubrir cómodamente la ostomía. Usa pantalones de talle bajo con una banda abdominal si la bolsa está arriba en la cintura. Escoge pantalones de talle alto si la bolsa reposa más abajo de tu cintura. Escoge las camisas y blusas que te queden sueltas para esconder la bolsa cuando se vaya llenando. Usa faldas y shorts de talle alto con estampado para adelgazar el área de la cintura. Ponte una banda abdominal debajo de un vestido para esconder la bolsa de ostomía. Escoge shorts de ciclista o pantalones de yoga para sostener la bolsa mientras haces ejercicios. Ve a nadar en un bikini de talle alto o un traje de baño de una sola pieza. Escoge cualquier tipo de pijama, siempre que te parezcan cómodas.


If your pain doesn’t go away after 2 to 3 weeks of home care, your best option is to seek medical treatment. If you don’t have a podiatrist, or a foot specialist, ask your primary doctor for a referral.  Your doctor or specialist will perform a physical exam and ask about your physical activity, when the pain started, and if it’s worse at certain times of the day. Depending on your physical exam and severity of your symptoms, they might recommend an x-ray. The way you stand or walk can cause or aggravate heel pain. If necessary, your doctor will recommend ways to correct imbalances or gait abnormalities. Night splints keep your ankle in a neutral position while you sleep. This gently stretches your plantar fascia and calf muscle, and prevents your ankle from rolling into a position that might aggravate your pain. If your podiatrist recommends, wear a night splint overnight for at least 1 to 3 months. Continuing use even after your pain goes away can help prevent symptoms from returning. If other treatment methods aren’t effective, your doctor might recommend ultrasound therapy. In this procedure, sound waves are projected into the affected area. It could relieve inflammation and stimulate blood flow. Ultrasound therapy is non-invasive, so it’s usually recommended before injections or surgery. Your doctor or specialist will first recommend conservative treatment, such as stretching, taping, or night splints. If your symptoms are severe or conservative treatment doesn’t work, they might inject a corticosteroid or other anti-inflammatory medication into the heel. They’ll numb the area first, so the injection won't hurt. If your symptoms persist for more than 6 to 12 months and no other treatments are effective, surgery might be the best option. While cases are rare, surgery is sometimes necessary to correct plantar fasciitis, remove a heel spur, or relieve compressed nerves. People who have surgery for heel pain can usually go home on the day of surgery. You might have to wear a boot or splint, and your doctor...

If your parents are talking but you have a question, don't interrupt. Instead, wait until they are done. Say please and thank you, and remember to say excuse me if you burp. If someone asks you to pass something, do it immediately. And make sure to hold the door for people.

If your parents don’t give their approval to you to start shaving, simply accept their decision without complaining or getting angry. Recognize that they only have your best interests at heart and there will come a time when they feel it’s right for you to start shaving. Thank your parents for their time listening to you. They will be much more likely to say yes at a later time if you deal with rejection in a mature and respectful way the first time. Know that many parents, especially mothers, will try to delay you from shaving as long as possible simply because they know that once you start, shaving quickly becomes an annoying burden and waste of time. Imagine waking up an extra 15 minutes early in the morning, or having to take the time to shave when you’re late for a pool party or want to wear shorts but need your legs to be smooth first. Shaving is an ongoing chore and time commitment. Know that body hair is natural and considered very beautiful on women in many countries. It’s your decision, and you can choose not to shave at all.  Know that shaving has no hygiene benefits. Shaving does not benefit your health or hygiene and is not required in any way. In fact, body hair holds good bacteria that can help you ward off dirt and illness.  Shaving might only makes your hair grow back temporarily more prickly and sometimes darker and coarser each time, but it will stabilizes at one point. Note that once you shave for the first time, your leg hair may be more noticeable than it was before and have to be shaved more and more often. Consider the fact that most people don’t even see or notice your leg hair! Even if it seems like you’re the only one who doesn’t shave, many people won’t ever be close enough to your legs to notice, or won’t even care! Don’t let other girls pressure you into feeling like shaving your legs is a requirement or necessary to fit in.  Try finding a friend who doesn’t shave yet either and teaming up with her to show other girls it’s okay not to shave.  You can tell other girls that you...

TL;DR in Spanish:

If your parents have to always tell you to clean your room or get your things off of the living room floor, they probably don't think that you are responsible enough to take good care of an expensive electronic device. Prove to them that you know how to treat your belongings well, keep them neat, and not lose them.   Clean your room once a week. This should be often enough for your parents to notice a change. If you have a habit of throwing your coat and bag down when you get home, stop that habit by just hanging it up instead.  When you leave a room for good, make sure you take all your things with you, and turn off the lights. Good grades are a sure sign that you are taking responsibility for yourself. Your parents will be happier with you overall, and more agreeable when you make your request. If you don't have good grades than your chances of get an iPod are very slim.   If you don't get good grades, this may be a long-term goal.  You may have to ask teachers for tutoring, and you will have to get in the habit of handing in homework on time. Just remember that it is all worth it! Keep in mind that a good report card might be a good time to bring up the fact that you want a new iPod.  Your parents will be in a better mood. This way, you will be able to prove to your parents that you understand money management.  You can't get a part time job until you are 14. If you are younger than that, you may want to ask your parents if you can earn an allowance.  Otherwise, you can get jobs around the neighborhood, cleaning up yards for people, mowing lawns, or babysitting. Ask your parents if you can open up a bank account. This will prove that you are committed to good money management. Don't be afraid that they will think that you are trying to trick them. Let them know that your new responsibility is for a reason, and it will not stop once you get the iPod. Say, “I've been taking the iPod really seriously. I've been taking up new responsibilities so that you know that I am not taking it too lightly. I realized...

If your parents say "No," or express uncertainty, avoid arguing. The more mature you are, the more likely your parents are to allow you to get another dog. Dogs take a lot of responsibility, so you want to show your parents that you are responsible. Instead of arguing, listen to your parents in a calm fashion. Do not say, "It's so unfair you won't let me get another dog." Instead, say, "Okay, I understand why it would be a lot of work for you." " If your parents say "No," it can be helpful to ask why. This will allow you to better understand their perspective and possibly find a solution or compromise. Ask respectfully. Say something like, "I understand you don't want to get a second dog. Could we please talk about why?" Your parents may want you to learn the value of work and responsibility. If you can offer to earn the dog in some way, they may agree to get one eventually. For example, you can offer to bring up your grades in exchange for a dog.  If your parents say "No" initially, gently introduce the topic of you earning the dog. Try asking first. Say something like, "Is there any way I could earn the dog as a reward?" Provide your parents with some examples of what you would do to earn the dog. For example, "I know you're not happy with my math grade. What if I tried to bring that up in exchange for the dog?" If cost is an issue, offer to pay. If you have a part time job, or are willing to get one, see if your parents would agree to get a dog if you paid some of the the expenses. You can offer to pay the adoption fee at the shelter, for example, or to pay for things like new supplies. Say something like, "If money is an issue, I can pay for the adoption fee. I can start saving money from my paper route until I have enough." Even if you ask calmly and maturely, your parents may still say "No." A dog is a big responsibility for both you and your parents and they may not be up to get another one right now. Instead of arguing, maturely accept the "No" answer for now. In the future, your parents will be more...

TL;DR in Spanish:

No discutas. Pregunta con calma por qué tus padres te dicen “No”. Determina si puedes ofrecer algo a cambio. Ofrece pagar algunos de los gastos. Acepta un “No” por el momento.


If your partner doesn't take you at your word, that's a bad sign. If they frequently get mad at you for not answering your phone or texting them back quickly enough, they may be trying to control you. Watch out for phrases like "I'm checking in on you" or "I don't want you hanging out with someone I don't trust." Similarly, if you are feeling distrustful or controlling, you may want to back off. In an unhealthy relationship, one partner often tries to control the other by insisting on a greater time-commitment than is actually enjoyable or practical.  Ask yourself: Does your partner insist on more of your time than you want? Do you feel like you "have to" visit every weekend? Does talking and texting with your partner interfere with your social life? If you try to negotiate this, what happens? If you mention to your partner that you are feeling pressured to always be on call, your partner should respond by asking you what schedule you would prefer. If your partner responds by getting angry or cold, you should take that as a sign that your relationship is not working out. Does it feel wonderful to see them? It may be awkward at first, but after a day or so, do you settle in? Can you still talk about all the things you talk about when you're at a distance?  Meet their friends and family. Your partner should want to introduce you to some of their friends. Make sure that their friends know who you are and are friendly towards you. If anyone acts nervous around you, or if nobody seems to have heard of you, something might be going on. When your partner visits, are you proud of them? Do you want to introduce them to the people in your life? You should be pleased to bring your sweetheart into your community—if you aren't, that might mean you aren't that into them. Do you feel trapped, or stuck? Do you feel guilty for not thinking about your partner all the time? This may mean your relationship is not working.  If you're not sure whether or not your relationship is healthy, talk about it with a psychologist, or try...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ten cuidado con la conducta controladora. Analiza si la relación te exige demasiado tiempo. Presta atención cuando se vean. Toma en serio tus sentimientos negativos.


If your partner ever becomes physically violent, your relationship needs to be terminated immediately. Physical abuse is never "for your own good," and it's never your fault. Don't let manipulative partners coerce you into feeling guilty over being hit. It's not ok, and it's most definitely a sign of an abusive relationship, and it will happen again. Get out of this relationship immediately. Threats to hurt you are as bad as physical violence. Regard them seriously and see them as danger signs of abuse to come. If your partner hurts or injures other people, animals, or is generally very physically violent, this is a sign of a violent person who should be avoided. No matter how much you love your partner, if you're afraid in your own living space, you have a problem. You may miss your partner terribly when you're apart, but actually dread coming home. That's a clue that your relationship has already crossed the line and needs to be ended safely. If your partner ever forces you to do anything you don't want to do, or manipulates you into agreement, you need to end the relationship. If your partner wheedles, begs, sulks, or starts a fight over something, until you end up caving just to stop the argument, that's an unacceptable and dangerous sign of emotional manipulation and possible abuse.  An abusive person will often insist that you do things their preferred way and won't back down until you agree. This might pertain to the clothes you wear, how you do your makeup, what you eat, or the activities you do. If your partner has ever forced you to have any kind of sexual contact without your consent, this is sexual assault. It doesn't matter that you're in a relationship or if you've previously consented to sex. While these warning signs and deal breakers are fairly definitive signs of a manipulative and abusive partner, these things can still be ambiguous. They can be clouded by conflicted feelings and may be difficult to detect. The best way to determine whether or not you're in a potentially abusive...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Adopta una política de tolerancia cero con respecto a la violencia. No te sientas intimidada. Aléjate de alguien con carácter fuerte o que te obliga a hacer algo. Confía en tus instintos.


If your partner is present and an active part of your life and the baby’s life, they should be willing to listen to how you are feeling. Lean on your partner for support and love. Tell them about how you are feeling about your body. Having your partner around to listen and comfort you is a good reminder that you are not in this experience alone.  For example, you may say to your partner, “I am feeling self-conscious about my body and would appreciate it if you would act as a support” or “I am feeling not great about my body post-pregnancy and it would really help if you could respect my feelings.” If there are other ways that your partner can comfort you, then let them know. For example, you might let them know that compliments and physical affection are helpful to you. You can also lean on the support and guidance of other mothers who likely experienced or are experiencing many of the same feelings you are post-pregnancy. Talk to mothers in your new mothers class about your feelings about your body. Or lean on the mothers in your circle of friends. Be honest and open about where you’re at. More often than not, many other mothers can relate to your emotions and feelings post-birth. For example, you may say to another mother, “Did you find you had negative feelings about your body after giving birth?” or “I’m struggling with body image post-pregnancy, have you experienced this too?” If you are having symptoms of depression, then it is important to seek help as soon as possible. Symptoms of postpartum depression may include: Feeling sad Frequent crying Having a hard time bonding with your baby Withdrawing from your family and friends Difficulty sleeping Losing your appetite or eating more than normal Feeling tired or fatigued Lacking interest in things you used to enjoy Feeling worthless, ashamed, or inadequate Having severe anxiety or panic attacks Having trouble thinking clearly or concentrating Thinking about hurting yourself or your baby Thinking about suicide or death

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comparte tus sentimientos sobre tu cuerpo con tu pareja. Habla con otras madres. Busca el apoyo de tus familiares y amigos.


If your partner is rude or dismissive to his own parents or friends, how do you think you'll be treated? Remember that, right now, while your relationship is relatively young, your partner is on good behavior.  How will things be when there is no longer any need to impress you? Notice if your partner treats waiters or waitresses, taxi drivers, concierges or anyone else in the service industry disrespectfully. This is a sign that someone has a mean superiority complex. He divides the world into worthiness and unworthiness and this sense of unworthiness will soon be inflicted on you. Abusers often stereotype gender. Male abusers, for example, often use male privilege to dominate women. They can have negative attitudes about women and women's roles, thinking that women should be kept in the home and kept submissive. For relationships in which a woman is the abuser, there may be contempt for men that influences how she treats her partner.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Observa cómo trata a sus amigos y familiares. Presta atención a sus interacciones con personas desconocidas. Considera lo que tu pareja piensa de tu género.


If your partner knew about the affair and encouraged you to end it, tell him or her that it's over. There may be a lot of work to be done to patch up your relationship. Your partner will be angry, and you may feel guilt for a long time to come. Stay strong in the knowledge that you made the choice to be honest and take action.  If your partner did not know about the affair, consider whether you want to tell her or him. There's risk involved, yes, but if you plan to continue the relationship, it's best to start from a place of honesty. Another reason you may want to tell your partner is so that he or she doesn't find out from someone else. If the person with whom you had an affair is very upset, she or he may try to get in touch with your partner. Breakups are tough, no matter what the situation. You relied on someone to meet your needs, and now there's a gap in your life where that person used to be. Take care of yourself. Guilt is a healthy emotion to have when you feel you've done something wrong, but long-term shame won't help anyone at this point. We're all striving to be better people, and we all make mistakes that hurt others. The best thing you can do is move forward and try to live more honestly in the future. Be more upfront about your feelings with yourself to prevent this from happening again down the road.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Toma en cuenta a tu pareja. Permítete estar triste. Sigue adelante.


If your partner thinks that you understand and sympathize with their behavior, they will feel safe.  This will make them more likely to share with you that they cheated.  Put your partner at ease.  Offer some excuse as to why you can understand what they did.  For instance, you might say, “I know I’m gone a lot for work.  I could understand if you’ve been seeing someone else.” Offer encouragement with phrases like, “I’ve always been honest with you” or “Please just be honest if you’re cheating on me.  I want to know the real you.”  You could also say, “It’s okay, I won’t be upset if you cheated on me.” Adopting an empathetic, gently approach is usually best, but some people won’t confess unless you turn up the heat a bit and show that you’re in control.  Don’t be aggressive or domineering – just make them a bit uncomfortable.  Get inside their personal space.  Bring your chair up more closely to your partner than you normally would. Take a small step toward them if you’re standing. Lean across the table when you speak. These subtle behaviors will shift the dynamic in your favor and could push them to spill the beans about what they’ve done. If your partner is violent or if you believe that they will become violent, avoid taking these steps. You may want to call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for advice. If you know that your partner was not at the bar last night, don’t begin a conversation about their whereabouts by saying, “I know you weren’t at the bar last night.”  This tips your hand and makes it easier for them to deny they were cheating. Instead, wait for them to fall into the trap of providing an excuse, then compare their story with information you definitely know about where they were not seen and who they were not with.  This will allow you to deflate their alibi. If you think you have substantial evidence that your partner is cheating but aren’t 100% positive, you could make your case against them directly in an effort to get them to confess.  Find a quiet moment when...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Expresa empatía por lo que hizo. Ingresa en su espacio. No compartas toda la información que posees a la vez. Finge saber exactamente lo que pasa. Deja que complete los espacios en blanco. Reacciona con calma cuando confiese que fue infiel.


If your partner's cheated on you, one way to make him or her jealous is to take pictures with a friend. The friend should be the same sex as your partner. Go around town, and take pictures together. Post the pictures where your ex can see them. This revenge works best if you do some romantic-looking activities together, such as having a candlelit dinner together or walking hand-in-hand through a park Advertise your happiness on social media. Even if you're not feeling happy, try faking happiness for the photos. Post pictures of yourself out with friends having drinks or hiking through the woods. Include smiling selfies with local landmarks or in local museums. Anything that shows you are living a great life is game for posting on social media.  This step shows the other person what they've given up. Plus, faking happiness is one step in moving towards happiness. In addition, try to hide your pain. While this one can be difficult, it can make cheaters upset, as many cheaters are ego-driven, so they want to be in the middle. If you blow up at the person, you're feeding that person's ego. Try calmly breaking up with the person and then getting on with your life. That is, once you've moved on from your partner, that person has to learn to live by themselves again, which they may not be equipped to do. They have to pick up the pieces, pay the bills, and be the one known as the cheating partner. Watching them try to pick up the pieces can be pretty good revenge.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Tómate fotos con una amistad. Publica fotos en las que luzcas feliz. Deja que viva teniendo en cuenta lo que ha hecho.

If your pineapple is under ripe it will be sour. If it is overripe, it may be way too sweet. Picking the right pineapple is the most important step for making delicious pineapple juice.  Smell the pineapple. A sweet scent is generally considered the most important aspect of choosing a ripe pineapple. If it has no scent, it's not ripe. Avoid pineapples that smell fermented. Although you want the pineapple to smell sweet, you do not want it to be so ripe that the sweet smell has an alcoholic or vinegar-like taint to it. Look at the pineapple's color. It will often reflect a golden-yellow color, but a green pineapple is not necessarily unripe. Be aware that some pineapples are considered ripe when green. Place more emphasis on the pineapple's healthy appearance. Avoid pineapples with wrinkled skin, reddish-brown skin, cracks or leaks, mold, or brown withering leaves. You want the pineapple to be firm, but soft enough that it gives very slightly when you press down on it. While you can use frozen or canned pineapple, fresh pineapples usually produce a better tasting juice. Set the pineapple on your cutting board. You will need a very sharp chef’s knife to peel a pineapple well. Lay it on its side. Place your knife one-fourth inch (0.6cm) below the leaves. Slice until you reach the leaves. Turn the pineapple and repeat until you have cut the top of the pineapple and many of the leaves away in a circle. Lift them up through the center leaves and discard them.  You can use the remaining center leaves to hold the pineapple steady as you cut it. Some cooks suggest cutting the entire top off. You can do this also, but you should be careful not to let your hand slip from the top of the pineapple. Cutting the pineapple releases a lot of slippery juice. . Start at the top of the pineapple and slice through the outside peel until you reach the bottom. You can cut in a slight outward facing arc in order to save more pineapple fruit. Turn the pineapple clockwise about two to four inches (five to 10cm) and repeat. Turn, slice...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige la piña correcta. Corta el tallo. Pela la piña Retira los ojos de la piña. Coloca el cuchillo a la izquierda de una de las líneas diagonales que forman los ojos. Saca el cuchillo y colócalo a la derecha de la misma línea diagonal. Ve bajando. Gira la piña en un cuarto y repite el proceso. Corta la piña en cuatro partes de manera vertical. Corta la piña en pedazos.


If your pit bull is feeling cooped up or has too much energy, he or she might get aggressive. Take your pit bull on lots of walks if you don't have a big backyard to run around in. You should be prepared to spend at least two hours day with your pit bull to give him the exercise and attention he needs. Or, if you need to, you should get out yourself and go to a dog park along with your furry friend. Walk your pit bull as often as necessary and take the time to clean up the dog's mess. A well-exercised dog is a happy dog. Pit bulls, like other dogs, like having their own small area that belongs to them. The crate should never be used as a punishment, but rather as a place for pit bulls to sleep or to go to if they are feeling overwhelmed. Put a collar and tags on your new pit bull so that you can find him when he gets lost. You should also get a microchip for your dog so he can easily be found if all else fails. Many pit bulls that are lost suffer because it is difficult to place them into homes with new families. Take the short time to properly care for your pet and you'll make a big difference in his well-being. If your pit bull is a puppy, he will have to urinate often. He'll need to use the toilet during several occasions: after he eats, after a long car ride, when he wakes up from a deep sleep, and after exercise. He'll need to go every few hours throughout the day, though by six months, he should be able to go a night without using the restroom. Here's how you can house-train your pit bull:  Before you get your puppy, pick a toilet area outside your home that will be his go-to spot. As soon as he gets home, take him to this area until he uses the bathroom. Praise him for doing his business. Look for signs that he needs to use the restroom and lead him to the area when he shows them. He may be scratching or sniffing the floor, walking in small circles, or generally looking agitated. Just like people, pit bulls are all different creatures with different fears and needs, and they have different body...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz que tu pitbull se ejercite mucho. Utiliza una jaula. Dale a tu perro un collar y etiquetas. Enséñale a tu pitbull dónde hacer sus necesidades. Aprende a comprender el lenguaje corporal de tu perro.


If your plan does not support tethering or mobile hotspots, there are some alternative options available on the Google Play Store.  One of the most popular tethering apps is Klink. This only supports USB tethering, meaning you connect your Note to a laptop or desktop via USB to share the internet. FoxFi is a popular Wi-Fi hotspot app that works without needing root access for your Note. Since FoxFi is not supported by carriers, there's a good chance that it won't work properly, but if it does it can save you a lot of money on your monthly phone bill. Once you start your hotspot app, you'll be able to configure it much like you would an official hotspot. This includes setting up a network name (SSID) as well as creating a password.  Don't include any personal information in the name (SSID). Make sure that the password is strong so that unauthorized users cannot access the hotspot. If you're using Klink, there's no configuration necessary. Simply connect your Note to your computer using a USB cable and tap "Start". After configuring your network, turn the hotspot on from the app. This will allow your Note to start broadcasting a wireless signal that other devices can connect to. Now that your Note is broadcasting a wireless signal, you can connect your other devices to it.  Open the wireless network list on the device that you want to connect to the hotspot. Select the name you set for the wireless network and enter the password. After a moment, the device will be connected to the internet. When you have multiple devices connected to the hotspot, they can eat through your data quite quickly. This is especially a concern when laptops are connected that are visiting the desktop versions of websites, which aren't optimized to conserve data.  Open the "Data Usage" section of the Settings menu. Use the slider to set a limit on how much data can be used.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Descarga una aplicación de un tercero para realizar anclaje. Configura la aplicación. Activa tu punto de acceso. Conecta otros dispositivos al punto de acceso. Mantén el control sobre la cantidad de datos que usas.


If your plant has been overfed, do not provide it more fertilizer until it appears healthy again (3 to 4 weeks). Allow time for your plant and its roots to recover from the strain of an overabundance of fertilizer. When the time comes to begin feeding your plant again, you can prevent many of the negative effects of overfertilization by using nitrogen-free fertilizer. Use only one quarter or one half of the recommended amount of fertilizer as directed on the package.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No fertilices la planta durante varias semanas. Elige un fertilizante sin nitrógeno.


If your porch swing didn’t come with swing hooks, you’ll need to attach some.  The precise location where you’ll need to attach the swing hook depends upon the design of your porch swing.  Generally, you should locate the point where the vertically-oriented front of the armrest intersects with the horizontally-oriented front-most edge of the actual seat.  Install one swing hook facing out from the side of the porch swing, then install another at the corresponding point on the opposite side of the swing. Place the next two swing hooks on the porch swing at two points located at the same height as the swing hooks you’ve already connected, but place them toward the rear of the seat where the seat intersects the back. Drill pilot holes before screwing the swing hooks into the porch swing itself.  Use a drill bit with a diameter just a bit smaller than that of the pointed end of the swing hook to drill your pilot hole.  This is an important step that can prevent your porch swing from splintering. When you’re ready, screw the swing hooks into the porch swing by hand. The screw-eye is a metal loop.  After installing two screw eyes, you’ll loop the rope or chain attached to the arms of the swing into it.  Drive your screw-eye into a thick beam or joist at the place you wish to locate your porch swing.  Locate a thick beam or joist (at least two inches wide and five inches thick) that can support a screw-eye. Once you’ve located the joist or beam where you wish to install your porch swing, drill a pilot hole into it with a drill at the point from which you wish to hang the porch swing.  This is an important step that can prevent your beam from splintering. Turn the eye-screw into the hole as far as it will go, then pass a screwdriver through the circle of the eye-screw so that its central point is just below the hole into which you drove it. Place one hand on the handle of the screwdriver and place one hand on the other end of the screwdriver.  Push up hard with the screwdriver against the eye-screw to jam it tightly...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Acopla los ganchos del columpio. Atornilla pernos de ojo a los techos inacabados del porche. Usa pernos de ojo en casas con techos sin acabar.


If your posts are under-performing by receiving too few likes, identifying your posting flaws may help inform your future posts. Common problems include the following:  Posting either too often (more than a few times per day) or too infrequently (less than once per day) Posting during times at which your friends are busy (or asleep) Posting long, text-heavy content Posting vague, overly specific, or mundane content Failing to include images or videos Failing to ask your audience for feedback or some other form of engagement Posting often increases your visibility on people's timelines, making it less possible for your posts to be overlooked or skimmed over. If you can become known for posting interesting and funny status updates, photos, and videos, people will be more likely to stop and take notice when your name appears on their feed. The more people who actually pay attention to what you're posting, the more people who'll be inclined to like each post. Posting more than twice per day may result in people becoming tired of your content, blocking or unfollowing your posts, or unfriending you. You'll often find that humorous, light-hearted posts attract significantly more likes than do technical or grounded ones. Replacing your usual content with a joke or a funny anecdote once or twice per day—particularly if you include a photo—will most likely result in a larger number of likes.  Avoid risky or sensitive topics (such as religion or politics) in your humor, as such topics tend to alienate some people rather than including them. If you can't think of something funny, use someone else's humor instead: search for an entertaining joke on the internet and post it to your wall, or share a particularly clever version of a popular meme. You may not have come up with it yourself, but you'll still get all the credit. Visual content is significantly more engaging than text-only posts, so try to include a photo with every post you make. As long as the photo is related to at least part of the post, you should see a...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evalúa el patrón actual de tus publicaciones. Publica una o dos veces al día. Emplea el humor. Incluye fotos y videos en tus publicaciones. Mantén tus publicaciones breves. Haz preguntas interactivas. Dales me gusta y comenta las publicaciones de otras personas. No publiques contenido que solo busque llamar la atención. Publica a horas estratégicas del día. Haz que tus publicaciones sean públicas. Revisa tus resultados luego de unas semanas.


If your project involves glue, stamps, or markers, let the corks dry at least overnight after cutting them. Spread them out in a single layer on newspaper or paper towels so they dry faster. If you're not gluing or coloring the corks, you can go ahead with your project.
