Most workouts for your major body parts should start with basic, multi-joint strength training exercises that allow you to lift more weight overall, such as the bench presses for chest, overhead presses for deltoids, barbell rows for back and squats for legs. This will allow you to lift heavier on these exercises, while you're still fresh and have enough energy to better stimulate muscle growth. Doing high-intensity workouts is the key to building muscle. Light workouts, even if they're long, don't go nearly as far to produce the right conditions for your muscles to break down and rebuild. Plan on doing 30-45 minute sessions 3-4 times per week (every other day). This may sound like a surprisingly manageable plan, but remember that during each session you have to make it as intense as possible. Your muscles will definitely get sore at first, but that will ease up once you get going with a routine.  During each session, lift as much weight as you can using the correct form. Test your limits to find out how much weight you should lift by doing reps with different weights. You should be able to do 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps without having to put the weights down. If you can't, lower your weight. Generally, the 6-12 rep range stimulates bulky muscle growth, while lower reps favor strength gain at the expense of muscle size. If you can do 10 or more reps without feeling a burn, add more weight. You simply will not get bigger unless you challenge yourself to go all in. Lift the weight quickly but lower slowly. To develop precise technique, do every rep with good form. Beginners, strive to keep the rep target inside your strength capabilities. Find the right groove for each exercise. Don't train to failure when you're just starting out.  You should be able to complete the full motion of an exercise without having to lean over or change position. If you can't, you should be lifting less weight. In most cases you'll start with your arms or legs extended. Work with a trainer for a few sessions so you'll learn the right form...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Empieza con un entrenamiento básico de fuerza. Haz tu mayor esfuerzo. Levanta las pesas de forma explosiva. Hazlo de la forma adecuada. Alterna los grupos musculares. Evita estancarte. Toma descansos entre los entrenamientos. Desarrolla la conexión entre los músculos y la mente.


Most wounds heal with little to no trouble. However, a wound is more likely to get infected if it has not been properly cleaned and treated. Cuts on the feet, the hands, and other areas that commonly come into contact with bacteria are also especially susceptible. Bite and scratch wounds inflicted by an animal or a human are also more likely to become infected.  Keep a special eye on bites, puncture wounds, and crush injuries. Be careful when handling wounds from an unsanitary source: a crusty knife, a rusty nail, or a dirty tool. If you've been bitten, talk with your doctor about your risk of getting rabies or tetanus. You might need antibiotics, or vaccines or other treatments against tetanus or rabies. If you are healthy and your immune system is strong, most wounds will heal with little risk of infection. Your body's defenses have evolved to keep infections from taking root. If your immune system is compromised by conditions like diabetes, HIV, or malnutrition, you are at a much higher risk of getting infected. Bacteria, viruses, and fungi that normally would not cause problems for the body’s immune system can infiltrate and multiply to distressing levels. This is especially true in severe 2nd- and 3rd-degree burn wounds, where the skin—your first line of physical defense—has been greatly compromised. You may have a fever, and you may feel dizzy. Your heart might be beating faster than usual. The wound will be warm, red, swollen, and painful. You may notice a foul odor, as of something rotting or decaying. All of these symptoms can manifest as mild or as very severe – but if you are experiencing several of them, you need to seek medical treatment.  Do not drive if you're feeling dizzy and feverish. If possible, have a friend or family member drive you to the hospital. You may need to get some strong antibiotics to stabilize your system. When in doubt, get checked out. In the case of infection, it is not enough to merely self-diagnose using the Internet. A legitimate medical diagnosis is the best way to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reconoce los tipos de heridas que pueden infectarse. Ten en cuenta los factores de riesgo de una infección. Presta atención a las señales de una infección grave. Acude a un médico. Considera la posibilidad de tomar antibióticos y AINE.


Moth eggs usually enter closest by way of clothing that has been worn outside. Moths are attracted to wool, but they're especially apt to enter your closet if your clothing has stains from food and other items that they like to eat. Make sure you wash your clothes before hanging them up. Dry clean wool items before storing them. Clothes you don't wear often, especially wool winter clothing, should be stored in an airtight place.  Protect wool coats and sweaters with plastic bags.  Store winter clothing in plastic storage bags, plastic bins, or airtight metal containers. Moths are attracted to humid spaces, so it's important to keep the air circulating and on the cool side so they don't decide to nest there. Let your wool items get some sun, especially if you're taking them out at the beginning of fall or winter after they've been in storage. Moths are repelled by cedar, so it's a good idea to hang wool items on cedar hangers.  You can also purchase ball-shaped pieces of cedar to hang in your closet, or fill a sachet bag with cedar chips and hang it up. Try placing cedar-scented items in the pockets of your wool items for extra protection. Placing mothballs in your closet is an effective way to kill moths, but the chemicals mothballs are made with are toxic to humans, and they leave a strong scent in your closet and on your clothes. Try these alternatives:  Sachets made with dried rosemary, thyme, cloves, lavender, or bay leaves. Simply fill a small cloth bag with these ingredients, tie it with a string, and hang it up. Essential oils made from these herbs can be sprinkled in your closet or on your clothing as an effective moth deterrent. Moth problems can usually be solved with these simple solutions, but if you find that moths keep returning, they may be laying eggs in a place you can't reach with a vacuum or sponge. Call a pest control professional to fumigate the area and kill the moth eggs.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cepilla tu ropa hecha de lana, pelo o plumas después de usarla. Mantén tu ropa limpia. Almacena tu ropa adecuadamente. Mantén tu armario fresco y bien ventilado. Ventila tu ropa a menudo. Utiliza cedro en tu armario. Intenta con bolas de naftalina o una alternativa natural. En casos extremos, llama a un exterminador.


Mount the line on one foot with a friend sitting on the line. Increase the distance between you and the person sitting on the line. Balance on one foot by yourself. Balance on the other foot. Balance with both feet, one behind the other, on the line. Take small steps forward. Take small steps backwards. Mount the line sideways (shoulders parallel to the line) with both feet, one at a time. Turn on the line. As a beginner you will likely be on a short, low-to-the-ground slackline. Most of the time you can land on your feet. As you try new tricks, the slackline can "throw" you as you lose your balance. The best solution is to use the "throw" of the slackline to help you get away from the line and land on your feet. If you are thrown off-balance from the line consider  rolling through the fall to limit the impact. "  One way to do so is to have a friend sit on the line a few feet away from you. This takes much of the sway and bounce out of the line. As you get better, have your friend move further away on the line to allow for more wobble. When starting out, you can aid each other while learning to balance--have a spotter stand/walk next to the line. If you practice walking back and forth with a shoulder to lean on, you’ll soon find that you don’t need training wheels any more!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Estos son pasos sencillos que puedes hacer para lograr hacer slackline bien, incrementando la dificultad poco a poco. Aprende a desmontar de manera segura. Puedes también buscar algo de apoyo para balancearte.


Move the baking rack to the bottom third of the oven. Cut the squash in half vertically with a serrated knife using a sawing motion. Pry the two halves apart. Be sure to scrape out the hallows so that no stringy bits remain. Discard the pulp when you are done, but consider saving the seeds so that you can roast and eat them later. Make sure that the cut side is facing up, and the skin side is facing down against the sheet. To keep the squash from scorching or drying out, fill the pan with ¼-inch (0.64 centimeters) of water. Each hallow gets 1 tablespoon of both butter and sugar. You do not need to melt the butter or cut it smaller. It will melt and mix with the sugar on its own. The salt will help cut the sweetness of the sugar. It will also help bring out some of the other flavors as well. Be sure to get the salt and cinnamon on both the flat/cut sides as well as the hallows. As the squash heats, the butter and sugar will melt together to great a sauce. The squash is done when the edges start to turn golden. You can test it for doneness by poking it with a fork or knife. If you can easily pierce the squash all the way through, it's ready. You can eat it straight from the skin, or you can scoop the flesh out with a spoon and serve it in a bowl. If you do that, be sure to mix in the melted sugar-butter!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Precalienta el horno a 205 °C (400 °F). Corta la calabaza bellota por la mitad y tira de las mitades para separarlas. Saca las semillas y la pulpa con una cuchara de metal. Coloca la calabaza en una bandeja para asar. Llena cada parte hueca con mantequilla y azúcar rubia. Espolvorea cada mitad con canela y sal. Rostiza la calabaza por entre 45 y 60 minutos. Deja enfriar un poco la calabaza antes de servirla.


Move the gearshift towards the + sign to go up one gear. You should do this anytime the engine sounds like it’s working too hard, making a high-pitched revving sound. The more you drive the car, the easier it’ll be for you to recognize this sound.  Some cars may also have a + paddle on the right side of the steering wheel you can pull back on to increase the gear. One rule of thumb for shifting gears is to change every 15 mph (24 km/h). For example, switch to 2nd gear when you’re driving between 15 to 30 mph (24 to 48 km/h). If your car has a tachometer, shift gears whenever it reaches 3,000 RPM. Whenever you’re slowing down and need to decrease the gear, ease off the gas pedal. This will get your car to the proper speed, leading to a safe and seamless transition to the lower gear. You don’t have to let off the gas when shifting up a gear. Move the gearshift towards the - sign, which is always towards you. This is done gradually as you decrease speed, and you should never immediately brake if you can avoid it. You’ll hear the engine slow and begin to sputter.  Remember to watch the speed and RPM indicators. For example, shift back to 1st gear when you fall back to 15 mph (24 km/h) or 1,000 RPMs. If your car has gear paddles on the wheel, look on the left side for the - paddle. Pull it towards you to downshift. Press the brake to slow the car, downshifting until you reach 1st gear. Once the car has come to a complete stop, it is safe to shift into neutral. Move the gearshift towards the “N”. If your car has wheel paddles, pull back on both the + and - paddles to put the car into neutral. Grasp the gearshift and move it next to the letter P. This turns on the brake. Turn off the engine by turning the key in the ignition. Now it’s safe to exit the car.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Empuja la palanca de cambios para cambiar de marchas. Libera el acelerador antes de bajar de marcha. Tira de la palanca de cambios para disminuir la marcha. Detén el auto antes de ponerlo en neutro. Engancha el freno de mano antes de apagar el auto.


Move the mixture over as soon as your hydrometer shows that all the sugar has been converted to alcohol. The longer you delay, the more likely it will be for bacteria and other unwanted substances to begin developing.  You can purchase your own reflux still for home use online. However, these tend to be fairly expensive—a basic model can often cost as much as $200-500. In some cases, you may also be able to rent equipment like reflux stills for a low daily or weekly rate. Check with home brewing and distilling companies in your area for more info. Different stills work differently, so be sure to follow the instructions included with your still exactly. In general terms, the process involves heating the fermented liquid to evaporate it into steam, which is then pulled up through a special filter before settling in a separate container in the form of pure ethanol.  Since the ethanol is less dense than water, it will evaporate and recondense at a faster rate than the rest of the unwanted liquid in the still. This means there's no need for any further filtration. Keep in mind that a container full of biomaterial will only produce a small amount of pure ethanol. In fact, it takes about 56 pounds (25 kg) of fruits and vegetables to make 2.8 gallons (11 L) of ethanol! This is the standard ratio used to turn pure ethanol into a reliable fuel source. Mix the two liquids in a clean gas can or similar container, and make sure you seal the container afterwards. Once you've blended your ethanol with gasoline, you won't be able to use it for any purpose other than fuel.  You may be required to use a different amount of gasoline depending on the type of engine you plan on running and the specific regulations for producing ethanol in your area.  To prevent accidents, store your homemade ethanol fuel at room temperature in a well-ventilated space.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Transfiere el biomaterial a una columna de reflujo para la destilación. Calienta el biomaterial en la columna para separar el agua del etanol. Combina etanol purificado al 85 % con gasolina al 15 % para producir combustible.


Move the rack to the second lowest position. Place the butter into an 8-inch (20.32-centimeter) baking dish, then place the dish into the oven. The butter will melt as the oven heats up. Heat the milk up in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds first. Pour it into a mixing bowl and add the eggs. Whisk the two together until the mixture turns a pale yellow color and no streaks remain. Add in the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk everything together until most of the lumps are gone. Hold off on the cheese and scallions for right now. Once the butter has melted, take the baking dish out of the oven using an oven mitt. Swirl the butter across the bottom and sides of the dish. This will grease the dish and make the pancake easier to serve later on. Once you have the dish greased, pour the rest of the butter into the batter. Stir it in well with a whisk. Make sure that it is evenly spread across the bottom of the baking dish. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl clean so that you don't waste any batter. This will give the pancake a tasty, crunchy layer on top. Don't add the scallions just yet, however! It is ready when the edges turn puffy and the cheese becomes bubbly. Once the pancake is done baking, take the baking dish out of the oven using an oven mitt and set it down onto a heat-safe surface. Use a spatula to take the pancake out of the baking dish and set it down onto a wire cooling rack. Let it cool for a few minutes. Cut the pancake into four wedges first. Place each wedge onto a plate, then garnish them with the chopped scallions. Serve the pancakes immediately.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Precalienta el horno a 219 °C (425 °F). Bate la leche con los huevos. Agrega los ingredientes secos. Gira la mantequilla en el molde. Agrega la mantequilla a la mezcla. Vierte la mezcla en el molde. Cubre el panqueque con el queso rallado. Hornea el panqueque de 20 a 23 minutos. Transfiere el panqueque a una rejilla para enfriar. Corta el panqueque en porciones y adórnalo antes de servirlo.


Moving around can make nausea worse, so take a few minutes to sit still. It might feel hard, but try to think about something other than your nausea, which can help make you more comfortable and less likely to throw up. Heat a cup of water, or if possible, brew a hot cup of tea, and sip it slowly. Chamomile has been used to relieve nausea and a variety of other health issues for centuries. It relaxes the digestive system, lowers stomach acid, and may help calm nervousness or anxiety. Go with a caffeine-free herbal chamomile tea. Caffeine could make your upset stomach worse. If you can make it outside and the weather allows, try sitting on your porch or patio. You could also sit by an open window if you can’t make it outside. Fresh air could help, but keep in mind hot, humid weather or bright, direct sunlight might make matters worse. An over-the-counter medication can offer relief from nausea, and you can even take one before an activity that you think might cause queasiness. If nausea is an ongoing problem, your doctor might recommend a prescription anti-nausea medication. Remember to take any medications as directed by the doctor or the label’s instructions. Sip ginger tea, or chew or suck on natural ginger candy to calm your stomach. Ginger contains substances that may promote digestion and relieve nausea.  You could peel and slice a 2 in (5.1 cm) piece of ginger root, then boil the slices in 1  c (240 mL) of water to make a tea. Strain out the slices or, if you’d like, chew on them once they’ve cooled. Low-sugar natural ginger ales can also help settle a queasy belly. However, be sure to avoid soft drinks that contain caffeine. Try lemon, ginger, or peppermint hard candies to take the edge off your nausea. Hard candy is also helpful if you have a bad taste in your mouth that's aggravating your queasiness.  Essential oils in these flavors may also have some anti-nausea properties.  Look for natural candy options at your local health food store. Wait out your nausea by using the power of distraction. Put on...

Moving around too much can put pressure on your bladder and make you uncomfortable. Now is not the time to go for a jog or practice your dance moves!  Stay seated if you’re already sitting. If you find yourself in a comfortable position, stay there until it becomes uncomfortable and you need to reposition yourself. Avoid changing positions too suddenly, or making abrupt or sudden movements. Keep your movements as fluid and graceful as possible when you walk or perform other activities. Drink enough to maintain normal hydration, but avoid anything unnecessary. Otherwise, you’ll simply be adding to your bladder overload!  The average adult bladder can only hold about 12–16  fl oz (350–470 ml) of urine comfortably. Don’t avoid drinking in an effort to prevent your bladder from filling in the first place. Dehydration is a very real and dangerous condition. You may have to do this several times while holding in urine. Different positions can relieve some of the pressure on your bladder, making it easier to hold in urine. Try the following:  Sit upright or lean back while seated. Leaning forward, especially if your pants are snug, will put more pressure on your bladder. Cross your legs when standing. It can help you feel like you’re closing off your urethra. Cross and uncross your legs while sitting down. These changes in position can alleviate pressure on the bladder. Raise your upper body and allow your back to arch, but do not stretch your abdomen, as this may put pressure on your bladder. , if you have to. The buildup of gas in your intestines can place additional pressure on your bladder. Alleviating this pressure by passing gas may make you feel more comfortable, and may allow you to hold in urine longer. However, passing gas may also make you temporarily lose bladder control, so don’t try this if you don’t think you can hold your pee in while letting your fart out! Make yourself as warm as you can by covering up with blankets, turning up the heater, or cuddling up with your partner. While the exact reasoning...

Moving is emotional, so it's best to have some time to adjust to your new location. If possible, try to give yourself at least a few days off before starting work or a new job.  After you've finished unpacking, you can go explore the area surrounding your new place. You can travel by foot if possible or maybe just go for a casual drive. If you are moving to a foreign country, research culture shock. You'll need some time to understand the new pace of life and societal mores. Routines can be comforting when you're in a new place, especially since everything else is so new. Having something you can rely on each day can be a good way to get used to a new environment.  Starting off each day with a healthy breakfast or a cup of coffee on the porch can be a good comforting routine. Even going for a daily walk at the end of the day can help you learn the neighborhood and help you to feel more comfortable in your new environment. If you have a family, you can try doing a weekly family dinner at a new location. Additionally, you can try spending your initial weekends learning more about your city with your children by going to farmer's markets or local businesses. For some people, getting unpacked quickly is more comforting, while others prefer waiting awhile. After you get the essentials unpacked, do what feels best in terms of unpacking your belongings.   If you want to unpack quickly, take a few days to unpack all at once. This can be especially useful if you have help from a friend or family member when you first arrive at your new location.  You may also feel like you want to take your time unpacking. While you'll need to have the most important things unpacked, you may want to take longer to unpack particularly personal belongings. Some people use moving to start new, healthier habits. If you start out with these habits after you move, they are more likely to stay with you.  Relocation is a good time to add positive habits you always wanted to do. You may want to start eating better, exercising regularly, or...

Permítete lidiar con la mudanza. Desarrolla rutinas nuevas después de llegar a tu nuevo hogar. Desempaca las cosas según las necesites o desempaca con rapidez. Desarrolla nuevos hábitos en tu entorno nuevo.


Moving to Norway and working there is relatively straightforward for citizens of EU/EEA countries. You will not need to apply for a visa and will benefit from the free movement of labour across these European countries. Although you will not have to worry about meeting immigration requirements, you may still find it tricky to find a job straight away. This could be because of a language barrier, or a mismatch between your qualifications and those recognised in Norway.  It's a good idea to look for work before you make the move. If you have a job lined up it will make everything easier. Search online for jobs in Norway, and search for jobs that you can do in English rather than Norwegian if you don't speak the local language.  If you work for an international company that does business in Norway, or has a branch there, think about the possibilities of transferring. Given the difficulties of organising a place to live when you are not able to travel to visit houses or apartments, you will most likely find yourself renting somewhere short-term while you settle in. If you are staying in a holiday rental in the city you want to stay in, you will be able to look through local newspapers and visit local real estate agents.  In some instances the local authority may provide you with assistance, but social housing is generally reserved for those who are unable to get housing on their own.  If you have a job lined up you should talk to your future employer and ask them to help you get set-up when you arrive. EU/EEA citizens are entitled to live, work, and study in Norway. If you intend to stay for more than three months, however, you will need to register with the local police service. If you are working in Norway, you will also need to obtain a tax card, which will provide you with a personal identification number and enable your taxes to be deducted from your earnings.  You can begin the registration process online. Visit the website of the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (NDI):...

Moving to a new country is a big decision not to be taken lightly. Whether you’re moving there for work, love, or simply a change of pace, take time to clarify your reasons for wanting to move, including how the move will help you reach your life goals. You may find it useful to write your thoughts down in a journal. Where you decide to live will be largely based on why you want to move to Mexico — for example, if you’re moving there for work or love, you may not have much flexibility in where you live. While the climate across Mexico is relatively warm and temperate, there are variations across regions. Beyond weather, you may want to live in a city with more shops, or perhaps somewhere less urban.  The Central Highlands are home to cities featuring cobbled streets, cathedrals, haciendas and other remnants of the Spanish colonial period. The Pacific Coast is home to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range, making for wonderful natural scenery, with a coastline featuring miles of beaches, resort cities, farmland, plantations, palm trees and more. It can get particularly hot in the summer months here, making winter the busy tourist season. Mexico City and its surrounding area offer a contrast of fertile valley terrain and all the pros and cons of big city life: art, culture, nightlife, overpopulation (over 22 million people), crime and poverty. The Yucatán Peninsula comprises 3 states (Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo) for a total of roughly 1.65 million inhabitants. It hosts a growing community of American and Canadian immigrants. Cancún, one of the largest cities in the Yucatán, is the most popular tourist destination in Mexico. If you have the time and money, you might find it helpful to travel around Mexico a bit and test out different areas through temporary housing rentals before deciding upon a more permanent residence. If you do not already have work lined up, you might research the unemployment rates and average wages of the particularly cities that you are interested in. You’ll also want to...

Moving your thoughts from your head to a piece of paper will help you view them more objectively. Do not edit your thoughts as you write them down or make any judgments about what you are writing.  Be honest with yourself as you write. Writing helps remove mental blocks and frees up the creative part of your brain.  Do not worry about spelling, punctuation, or grammar as you are writing. Try to sit and write for 20 minutes. Treat the thoughts as opinions instead of facts.  This is important as you may feel like something is true even when it is not. Remember that your thoughts are your perception of what is going on not necessarily what is actually happening.  Begin to consider alternate perspectives. If your thoughts are around a specific decision or problem, ask yourself what would your friend do to solve the problem or what advice you would give someone who is having that same problem. It is okay to have negative thoughts throughout this process. Do not feel pressure to only think positively.  The goal is to allow your mind to be flexible and creative. Begin the process to sort through your thoughts. State one point, elaborate on the point, and then connect that thought to your life experiences. Start by saying, "I think..." then "In other words..." and finish with "For example..."  If you are comfortable, you can  speak to another person as you do this.  Explaining your understanding of an issue to someone else is a good way to clarify your thoughts. Writing this down or speaking out loud to yourself may make the process easier. Gather the information you need to make sense of your thoughts.  Ask yourself some of these questions: What do I need to answer the question or solve the confusion?; On what information am I basing my thoughts?; How do I know this information is accurate?; Is there any information that I left out that I should consider?; What information is relevant to the issue at hand?  Always consider the source of the information. If it is not reliable or based on someone else's opinion, you...

Mow or cut the thistle right before or during the flowering stage so it can’t distribute its seeds. Then, cut it again as soon as you notice new growth. This will deplete the roots and make it hard for the thistle to survive.  If you’re dealing with creeping thistle, it’s best to cut it when it reaches 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) long. Typically, this will happen around early June. Don’t let the flowers dry out because they’ll spread thistle seeds. Since thistle can grow roots as deep as 20 ft (6.1 m) deep, it’s easiest to dig it up when it’s just started growing. Use a shovel or trowel to dig up the ground around the root system. Then, remove all of the roots and discard them in the trash.  If the roots already go deep, you'll likely need to use multiple strategies to get rid of your thistles. Dig up as much of the root system as you can. Then, watch the plot and immediately cut down any thistles that sprout back up. Don’t put thistle roots or part of the thistle plant in your compost pile. If you do, it will likely blossom in the compost pile and spread from there. Since thistle needs lots of sunlight to grow, mulching may prevent it from sprouting up. If you don’t mind covering an entire plot, use plastic mulch or pieces of cardboard to cover the thistle patch. If you’re trying to get rid of thistle in a border or flower bed, add several inches of mulch around your plants. This will allow the plants to continue to grow healthily while also choking off the thistles. When you first plant a border or bed, use plastic mulch around the plants to prevent thistle from sprouting up. This will take care of the problem before it starts back up. Thistles need a lot of sunlight and water, so competing plants can sometimes kill them. Grasses, especially alfalfa grass, are an easy option for adding competition to a large area. Sprinkle the grass seed over the plot and let it kill your thistles.  If you leave a plot empty, thistles will continue to grow there because it’s an ideal environment. It’s best to mow the plot...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Corta el cardo hasta su base para presionar las raíces. Excava las raíces si solo cuentas con unos cuantos brotes. Cubre el área con plástico, cartón u 8 cm (3 pulgadas) de mantillo de paja. Siembra semillas de césped para combatir los cardos en tu jardín o un campo. Deja que el ganado paste el cardo si se encuentra en un campo grande. Introduce insectos que consuman cardo.


Mowing should be done roughly once a week, though how fast your grass will grow will depend on climate conditions. Keep grass cut to a height of about 2.5 to 3”, except in the hottest part of the summer, when you should let it grow about half an inch longer. Mowing keeps grass growing at a healthy rate and makes your lawn look neat and manicured.  Grass needs to grow slightly longer in the hottest summer months to provide shade for its roots and conserve moisture in the soil. Be careful not to cut more than about 1/3 of the blade at a time, as this can cause structural damage to the grass that inhibits growth.  Make sure you give your lawn mower a checkup before bringing it out of winter hibernation. Dull blades should be sharpened, tires should be inflated and there should be a sufficient amount of oil in the motor. Trim dead and excess growth off of trees and shrubs in your yard. Pruning promotes healthy growth by eliminating parts of the shrub that are dead, infested with harmful insects or damaged by weather. It also allows you to shape the growth of the tree or shrub, resulting in a more aesthetic appearance.  Look for dead and damaged limbs to prune first. These will usually be identifiable by their colorless appearance and lack of living thriving foliage. At best, dead limbs are an eyesore; at worst, disease can spread to the rest of the shrub. Always remove any tree limbs that extend precariously over driveways, walkways or any place in that yard where people tend to gather. These can be become a hazard if they fall. Your grass and plants need copious amounts of water to survive in the dry summer heat. Even in areas that receive a lot of rainfall, natural moisture might not be enough to keep your greenery healthy on its own. Set up a sprinkler system to run every 24 hours to ensure that your lawn and surrounding plants are being effectively irrigated.  It’s best to water slowly and gradually to allow water to penetrate to the root level and avoid runoff. Having your sprinkler system set to a timer and...

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a cleaning product made with chemicals (melamine, formaldehyde and sodium bisulfate). Saturate the eraser with water to activate the chemicals, squeeze it onto the stain, then rub in gentle, circular motions. Rinse with more water. Although oxalic acid is found in nature, it is poisonous and harsh, so make sure to fully rinse the product off with water, and avoid these cleaners if you have a septic tank. Most oxalic acid cleaners, like “ZUD” require that you let the solution sit for 1 to 1 and ½ hours before rubbing and rinsing it away. Different products will have different amounts of hydrochloric acid in them. Look for a product with about 20% hydrochloric acid, like The Works. Spray and let sit according to the products directions.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Friega con un borrador de tu marca favorita. Usa un limpiador con ácido oxálico. Usa un limpiador con ácido clorhídrico.


Much like humans, cats should not be judged by their outer beauty alone. While there’s nothing wrong with feeling drawn to an adorable face, make sure you consider more than the cat’s appearance when making your decision. Many shelters and foster networks offer free adoption counseling, where they will ask you about your needs, lifestyle, and personality and make recommendations from there. This is a great way for you to meet cats that will mesh with you and your needs. It’s helpful to get an idea of how the cat will interact with everyone in your household, especially children. If you can, bring everyone when you meet the cat to see how everyone gets along. Ask an employee or volunteer to show you how to handle the cat. Every cat has individual preferences about how it is handled that the workers will probably be more familiar with. This can help prevent things like biting and scratching. If the cat resists, don't force it. Some cats are very affectionate, but just do not like to be held. Other cats may simply be uncomfortable in an unfamiliar environment and will warm up over time.  Make your hand into a fist and extend it towards the cat. This is a human method for mimicking a feline greeting. If the cat head-butts your hand, this is a friendly greeting. If he/she looks away or backs away, the cat may not like meeting new people. If the cat attempts to scratch or bite you, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t adopt it. Many cats scratch or bite when they are anxious or afraid. However, a cat who bites or scratches may not be a good choice for a household with small children. Make sure that the cat is healthy. If you do see problem areas, it isn’t a sign you shouldn’t adopt the cat -- sometimes, cats in shelters or foster homes have health problems that just need a little love and care to clear up. Here are some things to look for:  Eyes. They should be bright and free of discharge or buildup. Nose. It should not have any discharge, and the cat should not display excessive sneezing. Ears. They should be free of...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mira más allá de la apariencia del gato. Pregunta por el asesoramiento de adopción. Lleva contigo a todas las personas con quien el gato vaya a interactuar. Pide sostener al animal que te guste. Revisa al gato en busca de síntomas de enfermedad. Pregunta sobre los antecedentes del gato. Pregunta cómo ha sido socializado el gato. Considera un gato mayor. Averigua si el gato en el que estás interesado ya ha formado un vínculo con otro gato. Revisa la historia veterinaria del gato. Pregunta si una visita al veterinario está incluida o disponible con la compra o la adopción. Pregunta por una opción para que el gato pase la noche en tu casa.


Much of the struggle of sleeping with an insulin pump is psychological. Keep in mind that it's only about the size of a cell phone.  Trying to forget it’s there or to keep it from your mind may help aid the sleeping process.  As long as you’re thinking about the pump, it will be difficult for you to get restful sleep.  Establish a safe and secure place for your insulin pump before going to bed so you don’t have to worry about its location while you’re trying to sleep. Try not to let your mind focus on the feeling of the pump or accessories.  Instead focus on things that help you sleep, such as the things found in How to fall asleep. Give yourself time to get accustomed to using your insulin pump, changes take time to get used to, but most people find they can sleep easily with one after a short transition. Part of the stress of sleeping with an insulin pump is based on how it may affect those you share your bed with.  The easiest way to overcome this stressor is to speak openly with your family about your insulin pump.  Discuss the insulin pump with your significant other so you can both address any questions that may arise. If you share a bed with your children it might be time to have them sleep in their own beds.  Insulin pumps are resilient pieces of equipment but children could easily get tangled up in the tubes or play with the pump as you sleep. Insulin pumps are designed for everyday use and are surprisingly resilient.  The longer you live with your pump, the more familiar you will become with it and how it works.  Spend some time familiarizing yourself with it and learning what it’s capable of.  Insulin pumps are built to be worn all day and slept with, so they can take a decent amount of punishment with little to no issue. If you roll onto your insulin pump, it will not damage it.  It may make you a bit uncomfortable, so you may wake up to roll over. Insulin pump buttons are designed to be very difficult to press by accident, so even if you sleep on the pump, the chances of causing any issues are...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trata de olvidar su presencia. Prepara con anticipación a las personas con las que compartes la cama. No tengas miedo de la bomba de insulina. Infórmate sobre los riesgos.


Much of the work a life coach does is helping people set goals and encouraging them to achieve them. This requires being someone who likes being in touch with people in a friendly manner. If you're a negative Nancy or a Debbie Downer or a Sad, Sad Sally, your clients will be running for the hills in no time at all. Face-to-face contact is not always necessary to be a life coach, as many coaches work with clients over the telephone.  However, it has many advantages: it is less inhibiting and therefore easier to build trust.  It's convenient as it is global and flexible. Some of us (read: 99% of us) aren't always nice and understanding. Even if we think of ourselves as possessing these qualities, we still have the occasional slip-up. And sometimes it happens with a certain type more than another. That really pretty coworker may make us feel envious or that really dumb friend of Joe's just irritates us so much we become cold and aloof. Whether it's intellect, appearance, or just obnoxious laughs that get to you, you have to put that all aside and be willing and eager to help everyone. You're probably going to have clients that you wouldn't walk across the street to have a 5 minute cup of coffee with in the next life. That's fine. We can't all mesh with everyone. But that's fine -- you don't have to have coffee with these people. All you have to do is help them. Help them and want them to succeed. Even if you find their personalities akin to fingernails on a chalkboard, still have their best interests at heart. Just like the previous step got at, you're not having coffee dates with these people. You are not grabbing drinks during happy hour before the game starts. You are there to push them, not to enable them like friends often do. It's important to keep this line clear to maintain a professional relationship. When you become their friend, they stop paying you. When you cross the line from coach to friend, your clients will feel less of a push to do what you're suggesting they do. You'll also feel less inclined...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sé una persona cariñosa y empática. Quiere realmente lo mejor para todos. Ten en cuenta que no eres el amigo de tu cliente. Sé flexible. Sé creativo.


Mucking means cleaning. You have to remove the droppings from the bedding with a shovel and wheelbarrow and level the bedding. Make sure that the place you dump the droppings can't be smelled from the barn or stable area.  If your horse is stabled, clean the stable at least twice a day. Remove soiled bedding. Once you’ve disinfected the floor and waited for it to dry, refill the stable with clean, fresh bedding. If your horse is stabled, groom it daily to maintain its healthy coat. This also allows you to check your horse every day to make sure it doesn't have any injuries or appearance of health issues. You will need to disentangle their mane and tail and gently pick out any burs that might have formed.  With a currycomb loosen dried mud or ground-in dirt. Start by using a stiff brush, then finish offer with a softer brush. Also be careful and use a softer grooming tool with your horse's head and the bony areas of their legs. Give your horse a bath on a warm day. Make sure to use anti-fungal shampoo. Since the water repelling oils in your horse's coat are removed during bathing, you will need to bathe them when there won't be rain, or you'll have to put a waterproof blanket or sheet on them before turning them out. Comb the mane gentle using a wide-toothed plastic comb. If there are any bad tangles make sure that you unpick them with your fingers. Using scissors will make a mess that takes months to grow out. Avoid pulling on tangles, because this will thin and shorten a horse's mane and tail. Your horse needs to be exercised everyday. If you can't get to it, make sure that the horse has the option to walk in a field, or you have someone else come and exercise them. A horse needs space to walk and relax in to supplement the exercise you give them when you ride them. This is why having a pasture area is so important.

Multi-strand bracelets are fun to make. You make all strands using the same type of bead, but in different colors. You can also make each strand using a different type of bead. Seed beads are great for this type of bracelet. Here is a list of what you will need:  Beading thread Beading needle Beads Bead tips (also called bead clamps, clam shells, bead ends, or string tips) 2 jump rings Clasp and hook Needle nose pliers Scissors Super glue This will allow the bracelet to hang loosely around your wrist. This will give you the length of your finished bead strands. You will be folding them in half in a later step. This will make one beaded strand. You will want about two to four knots. Don't worry if they look messy; you will be hiding them. You should end up with a large knot and four strands of thread coming out of it. This will make the bracelet more durable. You can use your fingertips or a pair of needle nose pliers to close the bead tip. The loop on the bead tip should be on the same side as the short, extra ends of your thread. You will trim them off later. Keep stringing until the bracelet is a little bit shorter than you want it to be. Don't tie the knot too close, however, or you will put too much pressure on the thread. Try to leave a small gap between the knot and bead. You can use your fingertips or a pair of needle nose pliers to close the bead tip. The loop of the bead tip should be facing away from the beads. When you finish all of your strands, lay them out side by side in an order that you find visually pleasing. If you'd prefer a "tangled" look to your finished bracelet, interweave your strands rather than keeping them separate. Hold a jump ring with your fingers and a pair of needle nose pliers. The cut part of the jump ring should be between your fingers and the pliers. Hold the ring tightly with the pliers, then move your fingers away from you. The jump ring will twist open. Repeat this step for the other jump ring. Hold the jump ring with the needle nose pliers, and slip the clasp and...

Multiplying a*b = c is also the same as b*a=c. However, the sign of the product can change depending on the signs of the original numbers:  If both a and b have the same signs, the sign of the product is positive. For example:     When a and b are positive numbers and not equal to zero: +a * + b = +c When a and b are both negative numbers and not equal to zero: -a*-b = +c   If a and b have unlike signs, the sign of the product is negative. For example: When a is positive and b is negative: +a * -b = -c      However, understand that any number multiplied by zero, equals zero. Unless the integer is zero, any number multiplied by 1 is the number itself.  For example: a*1 = a     Remember, any number multiplied by zero, equals zero.    The distributive property of multiplication says that any number "a" multiplied by the addends "b" and "c" in parenthesis, is the same as "a" multiplied by "c" plus "a" multiplied by "b".  For example: a(b+c) = ab + ac Mathematically, this looks like: 5(2+3) = 5(2) + 5(3) Note that there is no inverse property for multiplication because the inverse of a whole number is a fraction, and fractions are not an element of integer.

Multitasking can negatively affect your concentration. If you’re constantly stopping what you’re doing to check an email or listen to a voicemail, your train of thought may get interrupted, which can cause you to become distracted. Instead of taking care of them as they occur, designate a certain time each day to get them finished. Then you won’t have the task on your mind all day.  Try putting your phone on silent for a period of time. If you do this, leave notifications for those who call that inform them of a certain time that you’ll get back to them. Consider disabling the email pop-up on your computer. This way, you’ll be less tempted to check them each time you receive one. You can only stay alert for so long before your mind starts to drift. Schedule a certain amount of time to work and then allow yourself a short rest after. Doing so can keep you focused during that work time, as you know you’ll get a break when it’s done. Set a timer for the allotted work time. This should prevent you from constantly checking the clock to see how long you have left, which itself is a distraction. Start with a 60-minute work block and eventually work your way up to 90 minutes. It may seem counter-intuitive, but scheduling breaks into your workday can keep you feeling energized and productive. Plus, when you know you'll have a break coming up soon, you're less likely to let distractions like social media or non-urgent phone calls interrupt your workflow. Schedule a 5 or 10 minute break at the end of every hour. Then, schedule a longer break every two or three hours. Use your breaks to get a drink of water, chat with a coworker, or go outside and stretch your legs.

Establece un tiempo determinado para los correos electrónicos y el buzón de voz. Programa periodos de tiempo para trabajar. Descansa de forma habitual.


Mums are a popular plant in many areas so many stores may not know how to take care of them properly. Do not buy wilted plants or plants with yellowed leaves. To get the healthiest plants you may want to ask the retailer when they will be receiving their next delivery and return on that day. Mums that you intend to keep in containers usually need to be repotted in a slightly larger container with the addition of new soil for best results. Gently break up the roots if the plant is rootbound. Mums are short-day plants, which means they need a long period of darkness to flower. You should use a balanced all-purpose fertilizer. Feed them especially during the vegetative growth period to prevent premature flowering. At each watering use a 20-10-20 or equivalent solution. When the blooming season begins, switch to a 10-20-20 fertilizer or equivalent. Treat pythium root and stem rot, fusarium wilt, bacterial leaf spot, botrytis blight, and chrysanthemum white rust with natural fungicides like garlic oil, neem oil or sulfur. Abolish common mum insects like aphids, mites, thrips, and leaf miners with insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils. This ensures you will have domes of brightly-colored blossoms come autumn. Pick off dead or fading flowers to encourage more blooms. This is known as "deadheading".

TL;DR in Spanish:

Arranca las puntas de los crisantemos más jóvenes hacia el final de la primavera y al comienzo del verano para que crezcan más frondosos y compactos.


Muriatic acid is very toxic and caustic, so it's important that you follow the proper safety precautions when using it. Wear acid-proof gloves, goggles, closed-toe shoes, protective clothing, and a NIOSH-approved respirator equipped with the appropriate acid-grade filter when working with acid. You can find this safety equipment at the hardware store or online. Lay plastic sheets down at the base of the wall to act as drop cloths for the acid. Keep a box of baking soda around to pour it on yourself if acid splashes onto your skin. Caustic chemicals from the muriatic acid could cause chemical burns. Read the information and warnings provided with the product that you've purchased. Follow the dilution amounts and process on the back of the packaging. Typically, you'll want to create a solution that is one part muriatic acid to nine parts water.  Never mix muriatic acid with other chemicals. Do not use acid for lightly colored or cream-colored bricks. The acid can discolor them and weaken their joints. Fill an acid-resistant bucket up with water first, then add the muriatic acid. This will prevent splashback which could potentially spray acid onto you. Before you apply the acid to the wall, it's important that it's fully saturated with water. Applying the muriatic acid directly on a dry brick may damage your wall. Purchase an acid resistant brush online so that the bristles don't disintegrate while you apply it to the brick. Dip the brush into the acid solution that you created and apply it in a layer over a small portion of the brick that you want to clean. Apply the acid in a small area to make sure that there isn't an adverse reaction with the brick in your wall. Allow the acid to soak into the mortar on the bricks and break it down. If the acid is working, it will start to bubble and fizz when it comes into contact with the mortar. Do not let the acid fully dry on the brick or it could damage them. If you notice that there is discoloration on the brick, stop using the acid. Use a medium bristle brush and...

Muriatic acid, also known as hydrochloric acid, is a corrosive chemical with a variety of household uses. To ensure that you are getting the right concentration of muriatic acid for use in a pool, purchase a product that is marketed as a pool chemical. Most home and pool supply stores carry muriatic acid for swimming pools. Different products are sold in varying concentrations and forms. Some muriatic acid pH reducers are sold as pre-mixed liquid solutions, while others come in granular form. Read all safety precautions and make sure you understand exactly how to use your specific product before you add it to the pool. Some forms of muriatic acid can be added directly to the pool, while others may need to be diluted in a bucket of water before use. Even diluted muriatic acid can burn your skin and eyes. It can also irritate your nose, throat and lungs if you inhale the fumes. Before you work with muriatic acid, put on rubber gloves, and wear clothes that cover your arms, legs, and feet. Wear a respirator mask and safety goggles. Always work with the acid in a well-ventilated area.  If you get muriatic acid in your eyes, immediately flush them with fresh, cold water for at least 15 minutes, then seek medical attention. If you get the acid on your skin, rinse your skin with fresh, cold water for at least 15 minutes, and remove any clothing that might have gotten acid on it. When you are done, seek medical attention. Get medical attention immediately if you swallow any of the acid or inhale the fumes. Check the instructions on the muriatic acid product label to find out how much acid to add based on the size of your pool and the current pH of your pool water. Try adding about ¾ of the recommended amount to prevent lowering the pH of your pool too much. You can also estimate how much acid to add by using an online pool calculator like this one: http://poolcalculator.com/. With the return jet running and the vent facing down, slowly and carefully pour the required amount of acid into the water directly over the...

Muriatic acid, otherwise known as hydrochloric acid, is a common choice for an acid wash. It is reasonably safe for the aluminum and fairly easy to come by. Keep in mind that this acid is very dangerous and should be kept away from pets and children. It is also toxic to the environment.  Muriatic acid isn’t pure hydrochloric acid and doesn’t have a standard concentration. Make sure to always check the product label to know the exact concentration.  Wear gloves and protective eyewear to avoid any irritation. Another approach is to make an acid solution from vinegar or cream of tartar and water. This is safer than using muriatic acid or other strong acids. It is very important that you do this correctly. When water and acid mix, a large amount of heat is generated. As long as you pour the acid into a container of water, the heat will be safely dispersed. Consult the label or manufacturer for dilution ratios of water to acid. If you pour the water into the acid, the initial mixture is very concentrated acid, and it may get hot enough to flash boil, sending concentrated acid spewing out of the container. Pouring acid into water prevents this and protects you from flash boiling. Room temperature is ideal for the acid to remove grime and corrosion from your aluminum. This works out great if you have to scrub the piece, as dealing with very hot or very cold acid could be difficult. You should also be sure that the aluminum piece is at room temperature before attempting to clean it with acid. You can also boil a dilute acid solution (e.g. 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vinegar in 1 US quart (950 ml) of water) in a corroded pot or pan and then rinse and wipe it clean.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge un ácido adecuado. Vierte tu ácido en agua para diluirlo. Mantén el ácido a temperatura ambiente.


Muscle knots are basically chronic muscle strains caused by repetitive movements or postures that contract muscle fibers for long periods of time. Muscles are meant to contract for short durations, then completely relax. However, performing similar movements over and over (due to athletics, weightlifting, cleaning the house, etc.) or sustaining certain postures while at work strains muscles fibers and causes them to remain contracted. As such, chronic muscle strains and knots respond well to light stretching because it relieves the tension, promotes blood flow and improves flexibility. As a general rule, hold the stretches (without bouncing) for about 30 seconds and do them at least three times daily until the achiness from the knot fades away.  While standing or sitting up straight, reach around the front of your body and grab the opposite arm with your hand - around the elbow area, but never apply force to a joint, as this can cause damage. Gently pull on the back of the arm across your chest until you feel a stretch in the corresponding shoulder. Be sure to drop your shoulder away from your ear (don't hike it up). This stretch is great for the outer and rear muscles of the shoulder. While standing or sitting up straight, reach behind your back and grab the wrist of the other hand (the one with the shoulder knot). Slowly pull down on your arm just above the wrist - avoiding grabbing the joint - until you feel a good stretch in the affected shoulder. This stretch is great for shoulder muscles that attach to your neck. To increase the stretch, you can drop your ear towards the opposite shoulder Feeling for a knot in larger muscles like those in the shoulder is not too difficult. The knot should feel harder than the surrounding tissue and get achy with applied pressure. Unlike acute muscle injuries, there likely won't be obvious evidence of inflammation, swelling or redness. So feel around your shoulder and locate the knot, which is also called a trigger point. Once found, use a handheld vibrating massager...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Muscle strains (or pulls) are the most common cause of backaches. The para-spinal muscles of the lower back are thick and powerful, but they become susceptible to injury when they get chilled, dehydrated or overworked. Soaking your entire back and legs in a warm Epsom salt bath can significantly reduce pain, swelling and muscle tension. The magnesium in the salt helps the muscle fibers relax and heal, which sometimes provides surprisingly quick pain relief.  Make sure the salt bath isn't too hot because otherwise it will pull water from your body, dehydrate your muscles and increase the risk of further damage. Backaches from muscle strains are usually described as dull and achy in nature and are not particularly debilitating. Some range of motion is restricted, but walking, sitting and sleeping are not usually impaired. A strained muscle occurs when individual muscle fibers are taken beyond their tensile limits and subsequently tear, which leads to pain, inflammation and some degree of guarding (muscle spasm in attempts to prevent further damage). A deep tissue massage is helpful for mild-to-moderate strains because it reduces muscle spasm, combats inflammation and promotes relaxation. Start with a 30 minute massage, focusing on your low back and hips. Allow the therapist to go as deep as you can tolerate without wincing.  Always drink lots of water immediately following a massage in order to flush inflammatory by-products, lactic acid and toxins from your body. Failure to do so might cause a headache or mild nausea. As an alternative to massage therapy, position a tennis ball underneath your body, near your backache. Roll on the ball slowly until the pain subsides. A muscle strain will improve faster if you begin gentle stretching and strengthening exercises as early as possible. Make sure you always perform exercises within a pain-free range of motion. If you have an acute muscle strain (an injury that occurred recently), beginning a gentle aerobic exercise program such as walking will be beneficial. If you...

Muscle weakness is a common symptom of a pinched nerve. Pay attention to any changes in your strength to determine if you may have a pinched nerve. For example, if you have a pinched nerve in your wrist, then it may affect the function of your fingers and thumb and reduce your grip strength. This is technically called "paresthesia." It's normally described as a pricking or itching sensation on the skin in the affected area. If you notice any tingling sensations, pain, or weakness in the affected area, then you may have a pinched nerve. You may notice pain in one area of your body or pain that radiates from one area of your body. For example, if you have a pinched nerve in your neck, then you may notice a sharp pain in this area only or pain that radiates from this area. Sharp pain in the lower back may radiate down to the buttocks and legs. Conversely, presence of pain in the upper back can radiate through the shoulders and even to your arms. Bending, straining, and lifting will make the pain worse. You may feel a tingling sensation in any part of the body that is affected by the pinched nerve. For example, a pinched nerve in your shoulder may lead to numbness in your shoulder or part of your arm. Some people with a pinched nerve have irritating sleep disturbances because their pain gets worse during the night. People with pinched nerves have difficulty finding a good sleeping position because no matter how they lie, they experience pain. Sleeping on the back or sides may put strain and pressure on the spine and neck, compressing the nerves located in that area and as a result, the pinched nerve worsens.

Music can have the effect of stimulating emotional or physical arousal.Select a genre of music or songs that have a tempo of 80 to 130 beats per minute.  Increase your heart rate by creating a playlist that organizes songs based on tempo, from slow (70-80 beats per minute) to fast (120-130 beats per minute). You can also alternate between fast and slow, loud or soft songs. Avoid music that triggers emotions such as anger or hostility. Physical exercise can help you develop discipline and self-control. Examples of sports that help reduce tension and positively channel aggression include:  Martial arts, especially Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu.  Running or aerobics.  Weight-lifting or boxing. You can use relaxation techniques to prevent your aggression from developing into anger. Examples include:  Take slow, deep breathes that come from your gut and not your chest.  Repeat a word or phrase in your head such as "Relax" or "Calm down" while breathing deeply. Employ any of these techniques if you feel yourself getting tense or angry. If the source of your aggression or frustration is another person, you have a right to stand-up for yourself and be treated with respect.  Use humor to counter hostile behavior or unfair treatment. Do not overreact. This will only lead to more drama and unnecessary aggression. Deal with controlling or manipulating personalities by following a negative statement with a question or asking them to clarify their position. This will keep you in charge of the conversation. Choose your battles. Ask yourself if the other person's behavior is hurting you or just annoying. Sometimes keeping your distance is the best option.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escucha música. Practica deporte. Meditación o relajación. Confronta la conducta agresiva o pasivo agresiva de los demás.

N95 face masks are a great choice for protecting your lungs from particles in the air, which could be metal fumes (such as those caused by welding), minerals, dust, or biological particles, such as viruses. You can wear one when there’s been a flu outbreak in your area, or if pollutants or a fire has made air quality poor. These masks are made of structured, lightweight foam and fit over your nose and mouth.  Specially-made versions are also available for people in industrial jobs, and surgical N95 face masks are available for those in health care professions. The number refers to the percentage of particles that the mask can filter out. The N95 mask filters out 95% of dust and particulates. N95 masks shouldn’t be used if oil aerosols are present, as oil damages the filter. The “N” actually stands for “Not resistant to oil.” Depending on the particular N95 mask you choose, available sizes range from extra small and small to medium and large. If possible, try on a couple of sizes before you purchase one. Make sure the mask feels snug and doesn’t slip on your face, remembering that you’ll also mold it to your face for an even tighter fit. If you’re not sure, go for a smaller size to make sure the mask won’t fall off. N95 face masks can make it more difficult to breathe, especially if you have a chronic cardiac or respiratory condition. Talk with your doctor to see what extra precautions you can take. You may be able to use a model with exhalation valves, which can ease breathing and lessen heat build-up in the mask, although these versions shouldn’t be used if you need to maintain a sterile environment, like an operating room.

NEF files are RAW image files, and are different for each Nikon model. In order to open the NEF file in Photoshop, Photoshop will need to have the latest version of the Photoshop Camera Raw plugin. The newest version of this plugin is not available if you are running Photoshop CS5 or earlier, so converting the file is the only way to open it in Photoshop for editing.  You will be converting the file into DNG (Digital Negative Gallery) format, which allows it to be opened in any version of Photoshop. You may also need to convert the file if you have the latest version of Photoshop but the plugin doesn't yet support your new camera model. This is a free utility that is available for both Windows and OS X. You can download it for free from here. Once you've finished downloading it, run the setup program to install the converter on your computer. Once the installation has completed, run the Adobe DNG Converter program to open the conversion interface. Click the Select Folder... button in the first section to choose which images you want to convert. You can only select folders containing images, not single images. By default, they will be saved to the same location that the original images are stored. In the third section, you can set how you want the converted images to be named. By default, they will keep the original file name but add the .dng extension. Most users can leave these at their default settings, but if you're trying to convert an image so that it opens in an older version of Adobe Photoshop, click the Change Preferences... button and select the version you use from the "Compatibility" drop-down menu. If you want to embed the original NEF file in the DNG file, you can select this from the Preferences menu. This will result in a larger DNG file, but will allow you to extract the NEF file again later if you need it. Once your settings are correct, click the Convert button to begin converting the files. This may take a while, especially if you are converting a lot of files at once.

Nachos are already awesome, but you can make them even heartier by adding some meat to your dish. You can use fresh meat, but this is also a good opportunity to make use of leftovers. Add 1 pound of cooked ground beef, shredded pork, or chicken in small bite sized pieces over the top or mixed with the beans. Chop a little iceberg lettuce, add fresh avocado slices, sliced black olives, jalapeño rings, diced fresh tomatoes, sliced green onions, or cilantro. Get creative and add as much or as little as you like. You can also add more or less guacamole or sour cream depending on your preferences. You can add a variety of different cheese to create the perfect nacho. Try pepper jack, Colby jack, Monterey jack, or any assortment of your favorite cheeses or a different flavor. Pepper jack is a spicier cheese, so take care when sharing this dish with friends. If you enjoy spicier nachos, try a few splashes of your favorite hot sauce. If you are sharing with friends, make sure not to add too much hot sauce.

Añádeles carne. Añádeles más coberturas frías. Ponte creativo con el queso. Añade un poco de salsa.


Nails that are rounded have a higher chance of growing into the skin around the toes, creating problems.  Use toenail clippers or nail scissors to trim toenails. Ordinary nail clippers are small enough that they tend to leave sharp edges near the corner of the toenail. Optimally, try to cut your toenails once every 2-3 weeks. Unless your toenails grow extremely fast, cutting your toenails often won't give them a good chance to become ingrown. Pedicures can aggravate the skin underneath the nail; pedicure instruments can be less than sanitary, worsening or causing an infection. Shoes that are too small and press on your toenails can easily cause them to become ingrown. Opt for roomier, bigger shoes instead of smaller, tighter ones. Try to wear open-toed shoes to prevent pressure on your toe. Since your toe should also be covered, use bandages or wear socks with sandals. Although this is unfashionable, it is better than having to get surgery. If you get an ingrown toenail and do not care for it properly, then you are likely to get it again. However, you can take steps to prevent that from happening. After you get out of the shower in the morning, and once before going to bed, apply antibiotic cream to the ingrown toenail and surrounding area. Antibiotic cream will help reduce the risk of infection, which can lead to complications and increased pain. After soaking your feet, rinse them well to get all the soap off. Then, dry them well with a clean towel. You may also apply some Neosporin and a bandaid to protect the ingrown toenail area.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén las uñas en una longitud moderada y con los bordes rectos. Evita recibir pedicuras si la uña encarnada aún te produce molestias. Asegúrate de que los zapatos sean del tamaño correcto. Presta atención si las uñas se te encarnan con frecuencia. Aplica crema antibiótica sobre los pies dos veces al día. Remójate los pies en agua fría con jabón de 15 a 30 minutos.


Naked Twister generally works best if you’re playing solely with a significant other. Instead of gradually taking off your clothing throughout the game, start naked and up the ante by distracting each other with physical affection.  Try licking, nuzzling, kissing or tickling your opponent to get them to relinquish their spot on the board.  Make the game more romantic by turning down the lights and adding some candles. Just make sure not to knock the candles over in the heat of the moment. In Drunk Twister, the game remains the same, but each player must take a shot each time they slip on the mat, but don’t fall. The game continues until everyone has fallen, or everyone has drunk so much that they can’t go on.  Use small shot glasses for drinks, otherwise the game may take a dangerous turn. You can choose to increase the number of shots a player has to take for each slip. For example, after the first slip, they might take one shot, after the second, two and so on. Take Naked Twister one step further by rubbing your opponent down with baby oil before beginning the game. Play Naked Twister as you normally would, but expect to spend most of the time slipping and sliding across the board.  In keeping with the theme, the loser of Oily Twister must give the winner a full-body massage. Keep medical supplies handy – Oily Twister has a much higher injury rate than Naked Twister.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Empieza desnudo. Conviértelo en un juego de beber. Juega Twister oleoso.

Keep your naps between 10 to 30 minutes to prevent sleep inertia, which is when you feel groggy and disoriented when you wake up from a deep sleep. Naps any longer than 30 minutes and after 3 pm will likely throw off your internal clock and make it more difficult for you to go to sleep at night. It can also make it more difficult for you to wake up in the morning, leading to oversleeping. If you struggle with getting to sleep or falling back asleep once you have woken up, you may depend on sleeping pills to get a good night’s rest. If you are taking sleeping pills for a short period of time and based on your physician’s recommendations, they may be useful. But they should only be a temporary solution for getting to sleep as sleeping pills can often make insomnia and other sleep issues worse in the long run.  Only use sleeping pills for short periods of time and for specific situations, such as travel to a different time zone or recovery from a medical procedure. Taking sleep pills only when necessary, rather than daily, can also prevent you from becoming dependent on them. Make sure that you talk to your doctor before taking any medications to help you sleep. Your doctor will evaluate you to see if there are any underlying conditions, before prescribing treatment.
