It’s the classic rainy day activity: escape the dreary weather by holing up in the theater with some popcorn and a good film. Buy tickets online or a few hours beforehand, if you can; others may have the same idea! Make your rainy day a shopping day. Head to the stores to stay out of the rain and get some retail therapy in. Grab a couple of friends and head out to your favorite restaurant, or try someplace new to brighten up your gray day. Call ahead or look online to see if the museum or gallery has free entry--many do! Fill your rainy day with culture and even some learning. Most gyms are indoors, so you have no excuse to skip your workout! Grab a couple of friends for extra motivation and hit the weights or jog on the treadmill. You could even go swimming in an indoor pool. Replace the rain with some snow! Most ice rinks offer cheap entry fees and rental skates. Head over with friends, family or kids and don’t forget to take frequent hot chocolate breaks. Bowling is the perfect activity for bored kids cooped up inside all day, or a group of friends looking for a laugh. All bowling alleys offer rental shoes and balls in all different sizes so everyone can play. Put up the bumpers for beginners, or challenge yourself and keep them down. It can be great to escape from the rain, but it can be even more fun to go outside and revel in it. Pull on your boots and raincoat, grab an umbrella and take a walk with friends or just by yourself. Savor the sound of rain in the streets and the fresh, clean smell. By the time you wake up tomorrow, maybe the sun will be shining! Avoid going outside if it’s raining heavily or there’s thunder and lightning.

It’s time to clean house if your work area looks less than tidy. An unorganized desk can leave you feeling overwhelmed and make it difficult to concentrate. Eliminate the distractions and clutter by giving anything that doesn’t help you become productive an eviction notice. For instance, focus on one area at a time and ask yourself if each object helps you achieve your work goals. Toss it if it does not. This could include furniture, files, papers, notes, books, or even pictures. You may be surprised at just how much of an impact the way your desk is set up has on your productivity. Take the time to determine what works best for you, or try this approach. Place your monitor 17 inches away from you and at eye level. Phones and other supplies you use frequently should be placed on your dominant side to prevent you from having to reach over. Place items you use daily on your desk and place those that are used less frequently inside the desk drawers. Keep personal items to a minimum and place supplies that are used together close to each other. Don’t let your “to-do” piles threaten to take over your desk. In addition to reducing your organization, these piles can stress you out. Instead, create an organized place for them that doesn’t take up a lot of space. Create file folders for each task or pile. Store them in your desk drawers, a file cabinet, or whatever you have available. Go through each folder and eliminate any unneeded paperwork inside of it once you’ve completed the project. Then store the file in a place designated for finished tasks. Coming into a cluttered desk at the start of your work day can make you feel frazzled and overwhelmed. Prevent this from happening by tidying up and organizing your workspace before you leave each day. Organize your desk an hour before you leave. Doing so can help you find an assignment you may have forgot about and still gives you time to complete it before the day is done.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Retira todo lo que no necesites. Crea una presentación productiva en tu escritorio. Organiza tus montañas de tareas. Limpia tu escritorio antes de retirarte todos los días.


It’s totally normal to feel nervous before coming out. You can help calm your nerves and feel prepared by making a general outline of what you want to say, which you can then bring with you during the conversation. Then, if you're not sure what to say, refer back to your notes to keep the discussion focused on you and your identity.   A lot of people aren’t familiar with what it means to be nonbinary. Try to think of some questions that they might ask. Jot down some answers so that you are ready to provide information. For example, you might want to write down what being nonbinary means to you. That might mean identifying as gender fluid or gender neutral, for instance. Remember, this is different for everyone. You might also write down whether or not you think coming out as nonbinary might impact your life. That's something that others might want to know. They might also ask if this will impact your relationship with them. Younger people are more likely to be open-minded about sexuality and tend to be more progressive than older generations. If you're nervous about how some people might react, it might be easier to have that first conversation with someone that you feel really comfortable with. Ask a younger person that you trust if they have time to talk about something important to you. It can also be helpful to talk to someone who has experience coming out as LGBTQ+. They might have some good advice for you. Who you come out to is your choice, so take some time to think about how you want to approach the situation. Do you want everyone to know? Are you more comfortable with the idea of having one-on-one conversations? If you're not sure, think about people in your life who are supportive, understanding, and open-minded, and try starting there. Choose a spot where you will feel comfortable having an important conversation. This might be your living room or a friend’s house. Try to choose somewhere where you won’t be interrupted, at a time where you think the other person will be able to devote their full...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escribe lo que quieres que las personas sepan antes de iniciar la conversación. Considera la posibilidad de revelarle tu género a un amigo o un familiar joven primero. Elige a la persona a la que quieras contarle y recuerda que no tienes que contarles a todos de una sola vez. Elige un lugar cómodo y una hora conveniente. Asegúrate de sentirte seguro cuando reveles tu género.


It’s understandable to want to push others away when you’re afraid of being hurt or let down. But, doing so can prevent you from having someone really special in your life. Try to get to the root of what’s driving your feelings. Journal or talk it out with a friend. For example, maybe you fear being cheated on because that happened in the past. Or, maybe you are afraid that falling in love with someone will make you give up on your dreams. If you consistently get burned when it comes to your love life, it's not surprising that you would want to stop falling in love. However, reflecting on your typical experiences with dating and relationships may help you change your luck with love.  Ask yourself questions like: What do I usually do in these situations? Can I identify any common patterns that might influence the outcome? For instance, during your reflection, you might realize that you regularly enter into relationships before you have healed from a breakup. In these rebound dates, you're just looking for someone so you're not alone, but the people you choose aren't good matches. Change something about your habits to change your luck with dates. For instance, maybe you always pick up dates at clubs or bars. Perhaps joining a club or visiting a park might help you find a different date that leads to different results. Another example is pushing people away because you  fear abandonment. Then, when they leave, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Try letting someone in for a change--the relationship just might turn out differently. Another reason you may want to stop falling in love is because you always pick the same type of partner. Maybe you choose someone who is unavailable, who is a bad influence, or who can't commit. Changing your type could lead to a different outcome.  Think about the type of partner you typically fall for. Now, when you're ready to date again, go for someone who is the complete opposite. For example, if you typically go for the "bad guy" demeanor, choose someone who is more...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Examina los problemas que tienes con el amor. Reflexiona sobre tus hábitos respecto a las citas. Cambia estos hábitos. Cambia tu tipo. Toma las cosas con calma. Deja tus miedos de lado. Ve a un terapeuta.


It’s up to you whether you want to use questions or statements, though you may find questions more intuitive. In either case, each question or statement should only break the specimens you are looking at into two groups.  For example, "The cat has solid-colored fur” or “The cat has patterned fur” are statements that can be used to break specimens down into two groups. Include the question "Does the cat have solid-colored fur?” in your dichotomous key to divide the animals. If the answer is “Yes,” then the cat belongs in the solid-colored fur group. If the answer is “No,” then the cat belongs in the patterned-fur group. This will be the first differentiation. It should be based on the most general aspect of your specimens, so review the list of physical characteristics you developed. You can refer to the first two groups as A and B.  For example, separate your cats based on whether they have solid or patterned fur. Similarly, if you note that all of your specimens have either feathers or scales, then these could be your groups A and B. You can begin your key with the question “Does the animal have feathers?” Group A and group B will each be broken down into more specific groups (C and D), based on the next differentiating characteristic.  For instance, you might notice that some of the animals in group A swim, and others don’t. This differentiation can form level C/D for group A. Likewise, you might see that some of the animals in group B have legs, and others don’t. This differentiation can form level C/D for group B. Keep formulating more questions or statements of ever-increasing specificity based on the physical characteristics you identified. Come up with characteristics that can break your specimens down as needed into groups E/F, G/H, etc. Eventually, you will reach the point until you have questions that only ask you to differentiate two specimens, and your key will be complete.  Some specimens will be differentiated before the end, as you work through your contrasting characteristics. For instance,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Formula una serie de pasos distintivos. Divide tus especímenes en dos grupos. Subdivide cada uno de los primeros dos grupos en dos grupos más. Continúa subdividiendo los grupos.


It’s usually a good idea to wait until all danger of frost has passed to sow your vegetables. Later sowings usually catch up with earlier sowings, so waiting to plant will most likely not hurt your harvest. Warmer months also soften up the ground, making it easier to work the soil and sow your vegetables. Some crops, like carrots or peas, can be sown before the last frosts. You can also start sowing your seeds indoors by placing a pot on a window ledge or in a greenhouse. Indoor temperatures provide a milder climate for young seedlings. However, seedlings that are grown indoors will need to be “hardened off” (gradually adjusted to outdoor climates) rather than just being moved outdoors when the weather is nice. If you are sowing indoors, you can still prepare the outdoor beds in the early spring. To do this:  Weed the area and incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure into the soil. Improve drainage if the area is soggy by incorporating some grit into the soil or raising the beds. If you plan to plant perennial vegetables, you might incorporate a slow release feed such as bonemeal. Slugs and snails can present a serious threat to your seedlings and young plants. There are various methods you can use to protect your plants from these pests, including:  Laying pellets, setting traps, or surrounding your plants with barriers such as copper tape. You can also check your plants for snails and slugs each day and remove these pests from your plants when you find them. Some plants will not produce their first year but will be ready to produce the next spring. If this is the case with your plants, protect them from the cold of winter by covering them in a thick layer of mulch. Brush the mulch aside in the early spring. Plants that may not produce their first year include cabbage and asparagus.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Espera a sembrar hasta que ya no exista posibilidad de heladas. Siembra las plantas bajo techo. Prepara los lechos aunque no siembres las plantas en el exterior. Protege las plantas exteriores de las pestes. Coloca mantillo sobre las plantas cuando la cosecha termine y el invierno se aproxime.

It’s very hard to score larger tiles deep enough to snap them cleanly. A wet saw is the best choice. If you don’t own one, most home improvement stores will rent them out. Wet saws usually come equipped with standard (ceramic tile) blades. Do not use these blades to cut glass tile because it will damage the glass. Switch that blade out with a glass compatible diamond-encrusted blade, which the home improvement store will carry. The water used in a wet saw helps to cool and lubricate the diamond blade as you make your cuts. Without the water, the glass will eventually heat up and explode. Adequate water flow in the saw’s reservoir tray is imperative to prevent this. Make sure you fill the tray up completely with water before you start using the wet saw. Replace the water frequently when cutting glass tiles, since as the water fills with debris it will increase the chances of chipping a tile. Cutting the tile face down will help to prevent chipping. Take your measurements and then draw the cut line onto the tile with a non-permanent marker. Place a piece of electrical tape, masking tape or duct tape along the line, which will prevent the glass from chipping at the edges. Line the saw up with the cut line. Turn the saw on and guide the diamond blade across the glass tile. Cut along the line slowly. Take your time making the cut and don’t push the blade into the glass. To get a clean cut, push the glass tile against the saw’s blade lightly and steadily.

It’s very important that you not rub, scrub or scrape too hard or you might scratch the car exterior. However, you should still do some prepping of the car.  Pull as much of the gum off as you can before applying any products to it. Move the car into a shaded area so that the gum doesn’t melt while you’re working on it. It might be a good idea to wipe the area of the car where the gum is stuck to remove any obvious dirt.  All you need is a bucket full of hot water and dish soap. You just need a squirt of dish soap in two cups of water. Dip a cloth into the bucket, and wet it. Then, gently wipe away any easily removable residue from the car’s exterior.  You want to avoid using anything too abrasive. It’s best to use a soft cloth when rubbing on a car exterior. You will want to repeat this process after you remove the gum too to get rid of any lingering residue. After removing the gum, you may need to apply a new coat of protective wax. If the water is hot enough, it may be possible to remove the gum using only soap and water.

It’s your key to dressing appropriately on this special day. Weddings, at their heart, are serious occasions and often take place in a house of worship. If there’s any time to follow a dress code, this is it! Your attire should be appropriate, conservative and respectful. If the invite does not state a specific style of dress, then follow the “Dressy Casual” or “Semi-formal” step below, or ask someone in the wedding party; they usually know months in advance.  Along with the invitation, base your attire on the season, venue and weather. The time of the ceremony is also important. Weddings in the evening often have a more formal dress code than a daytime event. If you don’t know the couple (perhaps you’re going as the date of a friend or family member of the betrothed), you may want to call the venue and see what dress is appropriate. Consider packing a few accessories to either dress up or dress down your outfit. ” Considered the most formal (think charity balls, royal events and the Academy Awards), you’re limited as to what you should or should not wear. The dress code calls for a tailcoat; white pique, formal shirt; white pique bowtie; white pique vest; matching trousers; gray or white gloves; and black, opera pumps (shoes without laces). ” Considered the next most formal dress, you are expected to wear a tuxedo. You should also wear a white, formal shirt, black bowtie, black vest or cummerbund, suspenders, and patent leather shoes. If it’s during the summer, black tuxedo trousers with a white dinner jacket are also fine.  There will always be a few guests who misinterpret the invitation to simply mean “formal” and will dress in whatever they feel is dressy. A gracious host will understand. In technical terms, though, a tuxedo is the best choice for black tie events. If the invite says “Black Tie Optional, the safest choice is still a tuxedo. The hosts worded it this way because they don’t want to exclude those who can’t afford one. So if you genuinely can’t, then a dark suit and tie is just fine. ” This...

TL;DR in Spanish:

It’s your mistake and your responsibility. Therefore, you should also be wholly involved in resolving the issue. While taking the lead on fixing things would be the best case scenario, keep in mind that your boss may not allow this. Be flexible and agreeable if the boss wants you to work with others or is skeptical about you handling it alone. Stay positive even if you are getting negative feedback from around you. There was a mistake made and co-workers may comment about it, but your focus should be on making things right, not the drama around the office. Ask your boss for direction and do as you are told. This is a time to show you can take a bad situation and make it better—it may not be the most appropriate time to try to wing it. Taking criticism may be a part of this process. Remain open to suggestions and show your team you are truly sorry for what happened.  Work to not only fix the current problem, but also to make sure it doesn’t happen again. In order to rebuild your boss’s trust and rectify the problem, you must strive to go above and beyond what’s required. Be genuine in any offer you make. It is going to take time and effort to fix the mistake, depending how big of a mistake was made. Since you were the reason it happened, it makes sense that you would have to devote extra resources to seeing the problem resolved. Take the time to thank anyone else affected by the mistake who is now part of the solution. These people are having to do extra work to correct an error you made. Be sure to show that you respect and appreciate their efforts. This is a positive step for anyone who has a boss that now is under fire for the mistake. This in a small way shows you are willing to take responsibility and make those tough phone calls.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Toma la delantera en la solución del problema. Formula un plan con la ayuda de tu jefe. Ofrécete a trabajar horas extras para corregir tu error. Ofrécete como voluntario para llamar a todo cliente o líder que tenga que estar informado sobre el problema.


Ivy can still survive even when pulled from the ground, but will have a much harder time doing so on dry, rough terrain. Leave your pulled ivy out on a rocky area or concrete slab that gets full sunlight. It may take a few days, but you’ll notice the plant begin to wilt and die as it absorbs the heat and loses nutrients being stuck on dry land. If you have enough supplies on hand, you can store the ivy in large plastic bags or garbage bags for several days or weeks. Instead of overdosing the ivy with too much sunlight, you’ll starve the plant of light and remove it from its growth source. Keep the ivy/bags in a cool, dry area away from plantable ground or trees. If you happen to have a wood chipper on hand, you can put the ivy through the chipper to destroy it. This will kill it, but to be safe you should dispose of the chips away from your home and garden to prevent a possible reinfestation. If you don't have a chipper, you can lay the ivy out in a sunny location and pass over it a few times with a lawn mower. Leave the chopped-up vines to dry out in the sun.

Deja que se seque al sol. Ahoga la hiedra. Quémala.


Jack Russell terriers are generally a healthy breed that live a long time. However your dog may be prone to hip problems, deafness, and dislocation of the knee caps. If your dog appears to be sick or in pain, bring it into a vet right away. If you went through a good breeder, your dog is less likely to have these kinds of problems.

Jalapenos need a soil temperature at least 60–65 °F (16–18 °C) to grow well. Wait until the final frost has passed and the temperature remains above 60 °F (16 °C) even at night.  If you planted your own seeds inside, the seeds should have sprouted small seedlings after 6-8 weeks. They’ll be 3–6 inches (7.6–15.2 cm) tall by the time you’re ready to transport. If you bought seedlings to transplant instead, then plant them when the weather reaches this temperature. Jalapenos like a lot of sunlight, so find the sunniest part of your property. If you aren’t sure which spot is best, monitor your yard for a few days and see which spots get the most direct sunlight for the longest time. Choose this spot for your plants. Once you choose a planting site, make sure the soil is prepped for the peppers. Take a metal rake and dig up the top 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) of soil. Then pour compost or a similar organic material into the soil to replenish its nutrients. Use the rake to evenly mix the soil and compost together.  If you have a compost pile on your property, use it for this job. If you don’t have a compost pile, use peat moss instead. The seedlings need enough airflow between them to prevent mold growth and fungus. If you’re planting multiple seedlings, arrange them into straight rows. Dig holes 4 inches (10 cm) deep and 20–24 in (51–61 cm) apart from each other. When you start a new row, move over 3 feet (0.91 m) from the previous row and dig more holes. If you’re only planting a few seedlings, then don’t worry about making perfect rows. Just make sure the plants are spaced far enough apart so they don’t grow into each other. Once you’ve prepped the site, gather the seedlings to transplant. Gently pull each one out of the pot so its roots stay intact. Dig around the plant if you have to and pull the stem and roots up in one piece.  If you can’t get the plants out easily, then use a small shovel and work around where the soil meets the pot. Try to pull all the soil out. If you do damage the plant, transplant it anyway....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Espera hasta que el clima esté por encima de los 16 °C (60 °F) para plantar los plantones al exterior. Busca una zona que reciba al menos 6 horas de luz solar al día.

Saca las plantas de la maceta, dejando las raíces y la tierra intactas. Coloca una planta en cada agujero de trasplante y compacta la tierra alrededor de la planta. Esparce 2,5 cm (1 pulgada) de mantillo para retener el agua en la tierra.


James Bond isn't a great secret agent because he was the strongest, sneakiest, or the smartest. What he lacks in traditional action-hero skills, he makes up for in his ability to adapt to himself to the situation and the setting. He oozes charisma. A great secret agent has to be able to charm complete strangers, manipulating them to do what you want. If your target is playing high-stakes poker in Morocco, you've got to be able chat your way past the doorman, ante up, and charm your way into the game. How do you do it? Charisma. To practice, work on getting phone numbers from strangers in public. Chat up people you don't know and work your way into their graces. Practice your witty one-offs, pithy comebacks, and all-around good-natured charm. Go places you might not be welcome and try to fit in and learn everything you can from the locals. Can you pretend to be a southern mill worker, struggling to make ends meet? Can you pretend to be a French-Canadian diplomat? What about a singer-songwriter from Belize? A good secret agent says yes. Learn about both high and low culture. If you've got to embed with French dignitaries who are operating illegal smuggling operations, you've got to be able to talk French wine and opera with the best of them. You also might be expected to sneak into an oil derrick and be comfortable next to hard-drinking roughnecks, which means you better know at least one George Jones song off the top of your head. If a secret agent gets caught by security guards at midnight hiding in the records room with a flashlight, he must come up with an excuse or an escape in the blink of an eye and make that lie believable. Likewise, if you're the one finding the suspicious behavior, you've got to be able to find the lie quickly and efficiently. Learning to detect lies can help make you a better liar as well.

Japanese language has four writing systems, each of which is composed of different characters. This may sound like a lot to learn, but every word in Japanese, regardless of which writing system it comes from, is pronounced with some combination of only 46 basic sounds. Sorting out the different writing systems and their uses is an important part of learning Japanese. Here's a brief overview:  Hiragana is a Japanese syllabary, phonetic characters that make up one Japanese writing system. Unlike the English alphabet, each character stands for one syllable, which may include a vowel and a consonant sound. Katakana is also a syllabary, most often used for foreign words or onomatopoeic sounds (like bang or squeak). Together, hiragana and katakana account for the entire range of sounds in the Japanese language. Kanji are Chinese characters that were adopted as a Japanese writing system. Whereas hiragana and katakana are simply phonetic letters, kanji are ideograms, characters which have meaning. There are thousands of kanji characters, with about 2000 in common use.  Hiragana and katakana were derived from these characters. The same 46 sounds that are used to pronounce hiragana and katakana are also used to pronounce kanji. The Latin alphabet is used in Japanese to write acronyms, company names, and other words for aesthetic reasons. Called Romaji ("Roman letters"), Japanese can also be written in Latin letters.  This is not done in Japan, but it is used by beginning Japanese speakers to "spell out" Japanese characters. However, there are many sounds in Japanese which are difficult to express in Latin letters, and many homonyms (many more than English) which become confusing.  Therefore, students of Japanese are encouraged to begin learning Japanese characters as soon as possible, and avoid using Latin letters as a crutch. The 46 sounds in the Japanese language are composed of one of five vowel sounds or a combination of a vowel and a consonant, with the exception of one sound composed of only a consonant. Vowel...

Japanese straightening, also called thermal reconditioning, involves your stylist applying a solution to your hair that breaks the bonds that make your hair curly. Your stylist will then blowdry and flatiron your hair until it is pin-straight. The process can take up to 8 hours, and it will leave your hair sleek, shiny, and straight.  If you choose Japanese straightening, your hair will be unable to hold a curl, even if you use a curling iron. The difference between your straightened hair and your new hair growth will be obvious, so plan to go in for a touch-up after 6-12 weeks. A Japanese straightening treatment can cost more than $500, depending on the length and thickness of your hair. Like Japanese straightening, relaxers permanently break the bonds in your hair. The chemicals used in this process are harsh, since they’re designed to be used on thick, coarse hair, but if it’s done right, you will be left with straight hair that’s easy to manage, even if you live in a humid climate.  Your hair will still be able to hold curl after a relaxing treatment, so you can use a curling iron to style it if you want. Expect to go in for a touch-up in 6-12 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. Relaxing treatments can cost $45-$100. Keratin treatments, like the Brazilian Blowout, smooth the surface of your hair, but they don’t permanently break the bonds. Over time, your hair’s natural texture will return. This usually takes about 2 months. Since the structure of your hair isn’t changed, you can still curl it if you choose to.  Some keratin treatments contain formaldehyde, which is a known carcinogen.  A keratin treatment can cost $200-$300. The chemicals used in permanent straightening are extremely caustic. In the hands of an inexperienced stylist, your hair may become severely damaged and it may even break off. Ask your friends for recommendations or read online reviews to find an experienced stylist with a good track record performing these treatments. Your stylist should examine your hair and make a...

Jar tongs are a secure and safe way to do this, or you may be able to raise the entire basket in a water-bath canner.  Place the jars on a clean towel to cool. You may hear the metal lids make a loud plinking sound.  That is simply the contents cooling and creating a partial vacuum in the jar.  Don't touch the lids yet.  Let them seal on their own. The vacuum created when the contents cooled should have pulled the "dome" lid down very tightly. If you can press the center of the lid down, it did not seal.  It should not spring back.  If any jars have not sealed, you can place a fresh lid on them and process them again or refrigerate those jars and use the contents soon. You can remove the rings at this point, since the seals should be holding themselves on securely. Allow the rings and jars to dry thoroughly before replacing the rings, to prevent rust. Also consider writing the contents, since apple and peach can be hard to tell apart a month later.  Write your name, too, if you are giving the jars as gifts.  You can use a sticker or a permanent marker. Mark your jars on the seals rather than the glass if you want to reuse the jars easily. Store sealed jars on a shelf, avoiding excessive exposure to heat or light.  Refrigerate after opening.

Jaundice typically develops on the second or third day of life and generally follows a predictable pattern.  In healthy bodies, bilirubin is a normal byproduct that occurs in the blood stream as red blood cells are broken down. The bilirubin travels to the liver, where it is excreted into the bile duct and eventually in your stool.  In cases of newborns with jaundice, the liver has not begun to work efficiently yet, so the bilirubin builds up in the liver and the blood instead of traveling to the bile duct.  Newborns in hospitals are routinely tested for jaundice. It's very common — about 60% of full term babies will develop jaundice, and even more of those who are born preterm. In a typical scenario, a newborn infant will be tested for bilirubin levels by pricking the baby's heel and squeezing out a small amount of blood. A baby with a bilirubin level of under 5 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is considered normal, while anything over 5 mg/dL is considered an elevated level. Most babies with a low to moderate level of jaundice will not need treatment, and the jaundice will clear up after a week or two. Sometimes, if the level is too high, rises too quickly, or does not go down after two weeks, doctors may prescribe light therapy (a UV therapy which is harmless and enjoyed by most babies). In rare cases, your baby may need a blood transfusion to reduce severe jaundice. Most babies born in a hospital will be tested one or more times for their bilirubin levels, but certain symptoms can signal jaundice:  A yellow color to the skin and the whites of the eyes. This is the most common feature of jaundice. Sleepiness and difficulty feeding. Sometimes bilirubin levels cause an infant to be drowsy, which can make nursing or bottle feeding the baby difficult. Try undressing the baby to rouse it to eat. Jaundice is very common and most often clears up on its own. But in some rare cases, it can cause complications and require treatment.  Although jaundice is common among newborns, high levels of untreated bilirubin...

Java can easily represent ASCII symbols using the char type. 34 is the ASCII code for the " symbol, so write char(34) to display " without using its special meaning.  You can look up a symbol's ASCII code by searching for an ASCII code table online. If you make the mistake of putting this code inside the string, your program will print it exactly as it appears in your program: char(34). Here's the proper method of displaying "Hello" (with the quotation marks) using this method:  System.out.println((char)34+"Hello"+(char)34);

Java moss cannot survive for long in marine aquariums, so make sure you have a freshwater tank ready. Tanks any smaller than 5 US gal (19 L) could crowd your fish as your moss starts to grow.  Java moss can survive slightly brackish water with a low salt content but prefers freshwater. Tap water should work fine, but you may need to add chemicals from an aquarium store to make it safe for plants and fish. Place a heater in the tank so it stays at a consistent temperature. Java moss can tolerate temperatures up to 90 °F (32 °C), but it will cause it to grow much slower than the lower temperatures. Check the temperature of your tank often to make sure it does not fluctuate. Many pet stores or aquarium shops will carry floating thermometers so you can easily check. Use a home pH test to check the acidity of your fish tank. If you find that the pH is off, you can add store-bought chemicals to raise or lower it to the desired level. Follow the instructions carefully when adding any chemicals to the tank.  Test kits or strips can be purchased at aquarium specialty stores or online. Adding shells or new rocks to your tank can help raise your pH if it is too low. Wood and moss will lower a high pH level. You should test the pH of the water once per week, especially when you perform a water change. Not only will it help keep your water clean, but a filter will create a current in your tank. Water circulation helps spread nutrients throughout the tank, making it easier for your moss to grow quickly.  A weaker current works best as the moss’s roots are establishing. A strong current could break apart moss and clog the filter. Keep the moss out of direct flow from the filter. Java moss is not picky about its lighting conditions, but it will grow differently depending on the brightness. If you want your moss dense and to grow quickly, use bright lights. For thinner moss with a darker color, use low lights.  In a pinch, a desk lamp secured above your tank will work for a short amount of time. Brighter lights will cause...

Jealousy can cause people to think negative things that are untrue about themselves and the relationships they are in.  A person who is feeling jealous of you may take the things you say and do personally, even when your statements/actions are not directed toward him. For example, if you are out together and you are sleepy and need to go home early because you have had a long day, he may feel as though you are bored by him.Do not be defensive in response to his negativity. Instead, be open about what is going on with you. For example, say “The reason why I am yawning is not because of you. I enjoy hanging out with you. I am sleepy because I had to wake up at five in the morning to be at work early for a meeting.” Some people experience jealousy because they have difficulty understanding the complexity of the lives of others. This is because they are preoccupied with their own insecurities.  If you notice how often someone brings up how well things are going for you, and she seems resentful about it, remind her that there is a lot going on in your life that she may not necessarily be aware of.  You may be unable to change a jealous person’s perspective, but you can start sharing with her the struggles and challenges you face in life. For example, you can say, “When we were on the camping trip, I got so lost that I almost decided to turn around and go home after just one day.” Some people struggle with jealousy because they are afraid that you will leave them. This can cause them to see other people as a threat. For example, the person may talk about how great your relationships are with other people because he doesn't feel like he is as close with you, and this makes him jealous. Unfortunately, the good relationships you have make him feel threatened, even though you may not feel the same way or even compare the two relationships yourself. Social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others can make everyone’s life look perfect. Typically, people post pictures and stories about their best moments,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

No te alarmes si alguien habla o se comporta de manera negativa cerca de ti. Observa si la persona solo parece percatarse de los aspectos buenos de tu vida y no nota los malos.

Jealousy is not love and feeling jealousy does not mean that you are in love. Some people mistake jealousy as an act of love, when it's really an act of insecurity and/or a lack of control. People who get jealous tend to be insecure and to have feelings of shame as well. If your partner is acting out due to jealousy, draw lines. Do not answer questions you are not comfortable answering. Do not cancel plans with your friends, or cut off contact with someone who matters to you.  Gently and firmly explain: "I will answer your questions, but only once. I will not give you the same answer over and over." "I will listen to how you feel, but I will not isolate myself from the people I love." "If you throw things or yell, I will leave the house and spend the night at my parents' house." "If you do not tell me how you feel, but you sulk or give me the silent treatment, I will tell you how that makes me feel and then I will leave the house until you call me." Do not assume responsibility for things you did not do. It may be easier to apologize and blame yourself when you are blamed for another's behavior. However, you know your own motivations. Don't let anyone convince you into believing that you were flirting when you weren't flirting, or that you "provoked" jealousy and subsequent bad behavior.  Listen calmly to your partner if he or she can use "I" statements, but do not subject yourself to a barrage of accusations. If your partner physically restrains you, hurts you, or breaks things, leave him or her. If you feel in any way threatened by a partner or other person who is jealous of you, get away from them if you can. Jealousy is the leading cause of spousal murders, and is a typical component of spousal battery. Get out of the house if your partner is physically aggressive, and call 911 or a domestic abuse hotline: 1-800-522-3304

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aprende la diferencia que hay entre el amor y los celos. Establece límites con tu amigo o pareja celosa. No aceptes el maltrato. Consigue ayuda.


Jealousy is often abnormal when it comes in response to something abstract. For example, you may get jealous of your partner's aspirations, even before your partner achieves these goals. You may worry that your partner will abandon you or find someone better if they achieve their dreams. If you frequently get jealous over people's ambitions, or other abstract concepts, you may be experiencing abnormal jealousy. If you're abnormally jealous, you may seek out commitment soon to quell feelings of insecurity. You may feel the need to lock a friendship or relationship down to try and combat jealousy.  With romantic relationships, how soon do you push for commitment? Do you want to move fast right away? Do you find yourself pushing your romantic partners to move in or make future plans early on in the relationship? With friends, you may want to become best friends right away. You may want to hang out every day or text constantly, despite the fact you've just met this person. You may have difficulty accepting that it takes awhile to develop an intimate connection with someone. Jealousy is normal in some situations. For example, most people would feel jealous if they saw on Facebook that a friend threw a party without inviting them. However, abnormal jealousy occurs in many situations that are innocuous and may not warrant a jealous response.  You may have jealous thoughts when you're having a difficult day, as this may affect your self esteem. You may also get jealous if a friend or romantic partner is away for work or a vacation without you. You may also get jealous at social events if a friend or partner is making conversation with others. Due to this extreme jealousy, you may become hyper vigilant of others. This means you feel a need to monitor others behaviors to make sure you're not being forgotten or abandoned. For example, you may watch your partner talking to other people at a party. Instead of socializing yourself, you may trail your partner the entire time to make sure he or she is not flirting with...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Examina los conceptos abstractos que desencadenan los celos. Evalúa si intentas forzar compromisos prematuros. Piensa en las situaciones que te hacen sentir celos. Evalúa si tus celos han perjudicado tus relaciones. Examina tus expectativas.


Jeans are at the top of the list when it comes to essential casual chic clothing. A good pair of jeans is comfortable and hugs your hips and backside, but searching for the perfect pair isn't always easy. Everyone is a different body shape, so when you're trying on jeans from different companies, you should consider trying on a pair a size up and a size down from the one you normally where. Once you've got your pair of nice denim jeans, look into dark-wash or black jeans. You can use these to slightly "dress up" your casual chic. Pair them with leggings or simply wear them alone for a simple and comfortable look. As with tops, you should aim for mostly neutral colors, though a few popping patterns can be paired wonderfully with a neutral top and/or a nice baggy sweater. Both comfortable and versatile, leggings go great with a long, flowing shirt or even a shorter dress. Having the leggings not only makes the outfit more comfortable, it downplays some of the "showy" aspects of the dress to make it seem more casual. Light wear and tear will definitely get across the idea of casual, opening you up to wear a nice top to bring in the "chic." A lot of casual chic is about mixing and matching "classy" clothes with a more laid-back, comfortable piece, and distressed pants and shorts (like white/beige cutoffs) are a great place to start Jean shorts, cutoffs, and even the occasional pair of nice running shorts can all look good when the weather is getting toasty. Again, aim for pieces that are easy to mix and match: beige, white, tan, denim, and black all pair well with a variety of tops.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Invierte en un buen par de jeans. Busca dos o tres faldas que te gusten. Ten en cuenta las leggings. Prueba usar pantalones desgastados. Usa shorts en un clima agradable.


Jerseys with tee shirts underneath are generally always fashionable, regardless of the sport. Because basketball jerseys can be relatively revealing, wear a tee shirt underneath them to adhere to public etiquette.  In warm weather or at the beach, basketball jerseys can also acceptably be worn as tank tops. However, most circumstances will call for wearing an undergarment as well. Use your best judgment.  Wearing an undershirt with your jersey will give you a slightly more formal look. For the most casual appearance, consider wearing the jersey by itself. Basketball jerseys can be worn with a variety of tops for a less conventional though still stylish aesthetic. Consider wearing colorful sweaters or coats to be more playful with your jersey’s colors.  For example, if your jersey is red, consider wearing a turtleneck underneath it that is either pink or an even darker shade of red. Coats and jackets worn over the jersey will also create an outfit that is both sporty and fashionable. Your jerseys will look sporty in their style, and so they will pair well with athletic bottoms. Wear basketball shorts or track pants to dress in a consistent fashion from head to toe.  Make sure the color of your bottoms matches the color of your jersey. For example, if your jersey is orange, you may want to wear shorts that are blue, as blue complements and enhances orange in clothing.  When wearing basketball shorts with your jersey, consider wearing shorts that are from the same team as your jersey. As with many niche items of clothing, basketball jerseys are not always appropriate in some circumstances. Make sure you only wear them in casual settings, like in your home, and avoid wearing them in more formal or polite environments.  Other environments where basketball jerseys are acceptable include sports bars, sporting events, costume parties, and the beach. Although wearing a basketball jersey to a basketball game is generally appropriate, it may be considered impolite to wear the jersey of a team that is not playing in the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa una camisa debajo de la camiseta para evitar ser muy revelador. Ponte una segunda camisa colorida para que la camiseta de baloncesto sea más elegante. Usa partes inferiores deportivas para complementar la camiseta. Limita el uso de la camiseta para los entornos apropiados.


Jewelers are trained to recognize real and fake precious gems and stones. They can examine the stone under a magnifier to make sure it has the structure of a true jade and to check for signs of a fake. They will evaluate the properties of the stone and then tell you if it’s real or fake.  Typically, the jeweler will do these tests while you’re there. You may want to talk to more than 1 jeweler to get multiple opinions about the authenticity of the stone. Your jeweler can measure the density of the stone you suspect is jade using a spring scale and water displacement test. Then, they’ll compare the density to a jade density chart to see if it meets the standards of real jade. If it does, then your stone is likely real. However, it’s likely not real if the density of your stone is not consistent with jade. If you have concerns about the density test, ask your jeweler how they typically perform the test before they get started. They may even let you watch them do it. One of the benefits of seeing a jeweler is getting your stone valued. The jeweler can evaluate both the jade and its setting, if the stone is already part of a piece of jewelry. Ask them how much you can expect to sell the jade for, as well as if they think the value could increase over time.  Keep in mind that this valuation is still an estimate. It’s best to talk to multiple jewelers when you’re trying to estimate the value of a piece, but this can help you understand what your stone is worth.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Deja que un joyero examine el jade para determinar si es real. Pídele al joyero que realice una prueba de densidad. Solicita al joyero que estime el valor del jade.


Jewelry should be wrapped separately. Using separate baggies for each piece of jewelry will keep it from tangling while you travel.  You can spread these separate baggies out among your suitcase. Keep pairs of earrings together just in case a baggie gets lost. An empty plastic-pill box is a great way to store earrings for travel. Hair supplies take up a lot of room. If the person you’re visiting has them, don’t bring double.  Hair straighteners, curling irons, and hair dryers are basic appliances that most girls have at home. Specific sized wands, hairbrushes, or hair ties are more likely to have to travel with you. Toiletries add weight quickly to your bag. Go through the list and think about what you need to bring versus what you can buy there.   Toothpaste and toothbrush Face wash Deodorant Body wash Shampoo/Conditioner Shaving cream and razor Hand sanitizer Body spray Body lotion Make-up Sunblock.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Coloca las joyas dentro de una bolsa. Piensa qué productos para el cabello necesitarás realmente. Recuerda que puedes comprar algunas cosas allá.


Jicama doesn’t do well during a frost, so wait to plant until the weather has warmed up to plant it in your garden. Research the average date of the last frost in your area, and plant your jicama one to two weeks after this date. The jicama plant may not grow properly if you live in an environment that stays mostly cold. Unless you already have seeds, you will need to obtain them. Jicama seeds can be purchased at a nursery, some home improvement stores, or even online. Check the packet to make sure you have the right seeds before planting. Put the jicama seeds in lukewarm water to speed up germination. Place seeds in a shallow pan of warm water. Allow them to sit for 24 hours. Then, remove the seeds from the water. Look for a place in your garden that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. The spot you choose to grow the jicama will affect the outcome of the harvest. The location you choose should be exposed to full sun for the duration of the six to eight hours. Choose a location with moist but well-drained soil. Make sure the soil is alkaline with a pH over 7. You can test this easily with a commercial pH tester.  If you want to grow the seeds before the last frost, then you can plant them in a pot indoors. You should use planting soil, perlite, or vermiculite, and a little peat moss in a medium-sized pot. The pot should be placed under a grow light or by a sunny windowsill. If you start with the seeds in a pot, wait for them to grow to 3 in (7.6 cm) tall before you plant them in the garden. If you decide to plant the seeds in a pot before the frost, you will need to take care of the seeds. Once you have planted them in a medium-sized pot with planting soil, water the seeds regularly until the last frost. Water the seeds until the soil is moist any time the soil feels dry. Make the holes about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) in depth. The amount of holes you dig depends on the number of seeds you have to plant. The holes should be about 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart. If you plant more than one row, then the rows...

Planta la jícama después de que pase el peligro de las heladas. Consigue semillas de jícama. Remoja las semillas. Elige una buena ubicación. Asegúrate de que la ubicación tenga buena tierra. Riega las semillas. Cava agujeros pequeños. Coloca las semillas de jícama en el suelo.

Job postings or ads will provide you with essential information about the company, the job duties, and the type of person they employer is seeking. If you read the entire ad closely, you should be able to determine the majority of the qualifications a candidate will need to get an interview. Remember to consider the whole posting. For example, an ad for a customer service representative might explain that the job involves answering a high volume of calls daily. It may list only “call center experience” under the qualifications heading, but if you read the entire ad, you'll understand that experience taking calls of high volume is an implied necessity. You'll know, if you have this experience, to include it on your resume. As you read an ad, mark the skills that seem especially important for the job. This exercise will help you understand the type of person the employer is looking for and think through your own experience as it relates to these skills. Remember, as in the example above, that necessary skills can be stated or implied throughout a job posting, not just in the qualifications section. Read the whole ad, and highlight all skills that seem essential for securing an interview. Many job postings break desired qualifications into “must have” and “preferred” skills and experience. By listing these separately, companies state minimum qualifications needed to secure an interview while also listing skills that are likely to move you ahead of other candidates. If you do not list “preferred” skills as well as required ones, you put yourself at a disadvantage. Hard skills are teachable and quantifiable, like knowing how to navigate a customer database or being able to communicate in a foreign language. Soft skills, on the other hand, are more subjective and related to your personality traits; examples include problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and good time management. Most companies are looking for a good balance of both hard and soft skills from qualified candidates.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lee detenidamente cada anuncio de empleo. Resalta las habilidades más importantes para cada empleo. Presta atención a las habilidades requeridas y “preferidas”. Considera las habilidades técnicas e interpersonales.


Jobs on container ships are extremely physically demanding, so you must be prepared to be on your feet for long hours, lift and carry heavy items, and perform various other physical tasks, depending on the kind of job you accept. In addition to being physically strong, you should be mentally prepared to work long hours, spend most of your time in confined quarters with the other crew members, and be away from your family for weeks or even months at a time. You may end up at sea for longer than expected if there is bad weather, a mechanical problem, or even a strike at one of your ports. A job on a container ship will likely require you to travel all over the world. It's best to have your passport well in advance of your job search so you don't have to worry about it. Most jobs on a container ship fall into three departments: the engine room, the deck, and the galley. Crewmen in the engine department are responsible for repairing and maintaining all mechanical and electrical components of the ship. Crewmen on the deck are responsible for navigation, security, and maintenance, depending on their rank. Crewmen in the galley are responsible for preparing and serving meals and cleaning. If you have experience as a cook, engineer, mechanic, firefighter, nurse, or doctor, you may be able to transition into the maritime industry without first performing entry-level jobs. If you don't have any experience working at sea or any special training, you will need to start your career in an entry-level position. All of these positions offer the opportunity to advance to higher level positions once you have the appropriate level of experience. Some of the most common entry-level container-ship jobs include:  Ordinary seaman (OS): This is an entry-level deck job. An OS will learn fundamental seamanship during a specified training period. Ordinary seamen will grease lashing gear, chip rust, and paint fixtures. As they gain experience, new deckhands are given additional responsibilities. Eventually, an OS can expect to be...

Jogging even for 10 minutes will activate your muscles, increase your resting pulse, and put you in a better condition to run. Even taking a brisk walk before you go for a run can be an effective way of warming up.  You won't be able to run without getting your blood pumping and your muscles warmed up with light cardio exercises like the ones listed in this section. If you plan on doing a walking warmup, keep your pace faster than normal and swing your arms as you would if you were really running.  Jog or walk until the motion becomes natural. Avoid jogging for too long during your warmup; many runners feel some fatigue set in after about 25 minutes of jogging. While at a moderate pace, raise your knees as high in front of you as comfortable to perform the high-knee exercise. Butt-kickers are the exact opposite: extend your leg as far back as far as comfortable so that it nearly strikes your butt. Butt-kickers and high-knee exercises are a great way to get movement to the hip joint that increases blood flow around the cartilage and helps to lubricate the connective tissues. instead of jogging. You could also do this in addition to a light jog for extra cardiovascular conditioning. Beyond being an excellent cardio warmup, jumping rope will also engage your upper body and arms, preparing it for the run to come. While jumping rope, keep your weight on the balls of your feet and the swinging motion of the rope in your wrists (as opposed to your shoulders/arms). Jumping jacks can be done pretty much anywhere, making this a versatile warmup for your exercise toolbox. But that doesn’t mean this exercise should be taken lightly! Your shoulder blades should be back, your spine straight, and your arms fully extended throughout.

Trota suavemente. Ejercita el rango de movimiento en las piernas al llevarlas hacia los glúteos y levantar las rodillas. Salta la cuerda Haz saltos de tijera.


Join an online or in-person gardening group. Go to a gardening center and talk with the caretakers. Visit your local arboretum and ask questions about the flower care. Many tropical flowers require specific temperature, food, and care instructions to stay healthy. You can also read online guides, such as Care for Orchids, Care for Bromeliads, Care for Peace Lillies, or Care for Anthurium. Tropical flowers can be very sensitive to temperature fluctuations, which makes it easier to grow them indoors than outdoors. Most tropical flowers do better with cooler temperatures at night and warmer ones during the day. This may mean that you’ll need to move your plants between different locations for day/night. For example, you may want to keep your plants in the garage at night, but put them by a window during the day. Tropical flowers usually prefer a bright environment that is not in direct sunlight. The sun can actually burn a flower’s leaves if left unprotected over an extended period of time. Look for a place, such as a window ledge, where your plants will receive indirect light. Press your finger lightly into the soil both near the flower’s stem and at the edge of the planter. See if your finger comes up wet or if water comes up from the soil and pools around it. If your finger stays relatively dry, then your tropical flowers need to be watered. This is a particularly good way to test for moistness in water-sensitive tropical plants, such as orchids. Get a watering pot and hold it directly over the plant. Angle the pot slightly downwards and move it in circles, allowing water to trickle down over the plant and into the soil. Stop before the water starts to gather on the soil.  Keep a saucer underneath the flower pot so that the excess water can drain away. When you are finished watering, remove the bottom dish and rinse out the extra water. This will minimize the growth of mold. Keep the watering pot moving to avoid pouring too much water on any one of the flower’s blooms. Put a layer of pebbles into a deep tray....

Joining an organization such as the Talent Managers Association (TMA) gives you the chance to learn more about the business from your colleagues and find more networking opportunities. The TMA maintains an online registry of its members, who are required to follow the association's code of ethics. There is no better way to advance your career than surrounding yourself with the best people working in the field. Unlike talent agents, who take a more reserved role in a performer's career, a manager works closely and personally with clients. You may have to navigate large egos, obnoxious behavior, emotional breakdowns, and stressful environments. You will need to provide support and counsel to your clients on both a personal and professional level, so be prepared to work intimately with them.  For example, you may need to calm down a client who's just broken up with her boyfriend. Their breakup has nothing to do with her career, but she comes to you for comfort and guidance nevertheless. In a more extreme example, you may have a troubled client who is experiencing problems with drugs and alcohol. You might have to take charge of the situation and help them check into rehab. To be an effective talent manager, you'll need to work closely with your clients every single day. This is a time-consuming role. Most talent managers limit themselves to having around 5 clients in total. If you are working with a particularly high profile client, you may want to work solely for them. Avoid spreading yourself too thin to keep your clients happy. You will need to interact with your clients almost every day to provide advice, assistance, and guidance. Touch base with them by phone or email each day when you get into the office. If needed, set up appointments with them, so you can go over their schedules or scripts in person.  Keep them on schedule by setting up reminders for appearances and shoots. Give them your thoughts about new roles they're considering, or their newest song or project. Attend actor's workshops, concerts,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Únete a una organización profesional. Prepárate para trabajar estrechamente con personalidades fuertes. Mantén tu lista de clientes pequeña. Comunícate y reúnete con tus clientes frecuentemente. Reúnete con posibles clientes.


Joint pain is the most characteristic symptom of all types of arthritis. You might notice the pain after exercising or using the joints extensively, which is the case with "wear and tear" arthritis (OA), or upon waking and after periods of disuse, which is more characteristic of RA.  Arthritic pain is usually described as dull, achy and/or throbbing. The more destructive types of arthritis can also generate sharp and electric-type pain. Arthritic pain usually starts out mild, then progressively gets worse. The pain levels of OA gradually worsen, whereas some really inflammatory types (such as gout attacks) become extremely painful very suddenly. Although the term arthritis literally means joint inflammation, some types involve much more swelling than others. In general, the wear and tear of OA doesn't lead to much swelling or redness. In contrast, RA involves lots of swelling and redness because the body's immune system attacks the lining of the joint capsule (synovial membrane). Gout is also known for lots of inflammation due to the deposit of sharp uric acid crystals within joint capsules, particularly of the big toe.  PsA also involves the immune system attacking joints, which is why it's classified as an autoimmune disorder, so swelling and redness are more noticeable. RA not only causes severe inflammation in affected joints (usually of the hands and wrists), but also low-grade inflammation throughout the body. Not being able to remove your rings is a sign of swelling in the joints of the hands. Stiffness is another common early sign of virtually all types of arthritis. It's the inability to freely move joints due to pain, swelling and/or some degree of joint destruction. Along with stiffness, you may also feel or hear creaking or cracking sounds as you move joints after periods of inactivity, especially with OA.  Initially, stiffness doesn't usually involve reduced range of motion, but it's a sign that there's a problem in the joint that will likely get worse. Stiffness and other symptoms usually occur...

Joke pregnancy tests are the best option because they give you a false positive every time. To use the test, bring it into the bathroom and urinate on it like a real test. Wait for the result, then show it to the person you’re pranking.  You can find fake pregnancy tests online or at a local joke shop. Make sure you read and follow the directions for the test you buy so that it works correctly. Some ingredients used to make sodas mimic pregnancy hormones, so they can give a false positive on a pregnancy test. Bring a soda with you into the bathroom when you go to take the test. Then, dip the test into the soda instead of urinating on it. Hide the soda before opening the bathroom door. Since you may be asked to take a second test to confirm your pregnancy, hide an extra soda in the bathroom in case you need it. Put it somewhere others are unlikely to look, like inside your makeup kit or a box of tampons. Most pregnancy tests have a separate piece of plastic for the front and back side. Use a thin piece of metal, like a pair of tweezers or a metal nail file, to pry the front off of the pregnancy test. Then, use a marker that’s close to the same color as the test results to draw in a line to create a positive result. Next, dab some water onto the test to make it look like you peed on it and put the test back together.  A light pink marker will be your best option. The results may look better if you draw on all of the lines. This also eliminates the need for you to actually pee on the test. In addition to making the test look used, wetting it also helps fade the marker so it looks more real. Most pregnancy tests only produce accurate results for a few minutes. After that point, the urine starts to evaporate from the pad, making the lines look darker. This often creates a false positive. Use this to your advantage by taking your test at least an hour in advance. Once the result looks like a positive, bring it into the bathroom and pretend to take it. This may not always work, but it’s a common cause of false...

Judges have the power to modify an existing child support order and also have the power to set an amount lower than the state guidelines suggest. However, the judge will want to see evidence of changed circumstances: reduced earnings, increased expenses, etc. Before filing a petition with the court, you should gather the following:  recent pay stubs or other evidence of self-employed income. evidence that your familial obligations have changed, e.g., the birth of another child. medical records, if you have become disabled. the amount of time you spend with the child. To lower your payments, you will need to file a motion in court to modify your child support payments. You will need to file this motion in the court that issued the initial child support order.  Most courts have pre-printed “fill in the blank” motion forms. You can check with the court clerk to see if they have a form. Also ask if you need any additional forms, such as a Financial Affidavit. You can find relevant forms by visiting this website. If your court does not have a pre-printed form, then use a form as a guide as you draft your own motion. Use the caption information from an earlier motion (from the initial child support case). In the body of the motion, list the reasons why you want the court to reduce your child support. Sign the motion. You will have to provide the other parent with notice. The easiest option is to have the sheriff personally serve the papers on the other parent for a small fee. Ask the court clerk about acceptable service. ” In your motion, you may argue that you have been paying more than what the child support order required. For example, you might have picked up 100% of your child’s school tuition or medical insurance. If so, you might be able to get the child support lowered. The “extras” must be substantial. Simply buying clothes or presents for your child will not qualify as substantial. You can argue that your financial conditions have changed such that a modification of child support is justified. The change...
