Dividend stocks are shares that you own in a company. The company pays you your share of the profit in dividends. Some companies pay a fixed amount per accounting period, and many pay either quarterly or annually. Once you are paid your dividends, you can either cash them out or choose to reinvest them, allowing you to own more shares and therefore earn more dividends.  A common way to choose dividend stocks is to invest in them through mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETF’s). You want to research the companies in which you invest. Purchase dividend stocks that have a history of paying high yields. But also consider market trends and think about investing in companies that may pay high yields in the future. Peer to peer lending means lending money to borrowers who don’t typically qualify for traditional loans. Popular P2P lending platforms include Prosper and Lending Club. These platforms act as a middleman between you and the borrower. They vet the borrower to make sure that they are borrowing money for legitimate reasons. Then, you can choose the borrowers to whom you want to lend. You can hedge your risks by lending small loans to many different borrowers with different credit backgrounds. With Prosper, the interest rate you can earn ranges from 5.48 percent for low-risk loans to 10.78 percent for high-risk loans. Consider buying into certificate of deposit (CD) ladders and/or a variety of corporate or government bonds. This would involve buying into bonds or CDs that mature at different years in the future, maybe some in 5 or 10 years and others in 20 or 30. This strategy protects your principal because the risk from fluctuations in the interest rate is spread out over time.  A CD ladder is an investment strategy in which you divide the amount you want to invest into equal amounts and you purchase several CD’s with different maturity dates.  It provides you with a steady income as the CD’s mature at different times.  The maturity date is the date on which the interest payments stop and the principal...

Diwali is the Hindu New Year, and it’s a celebration of new beginnings. It’s traditional to clean up your home and business on or before the first day of Diwali as a kind of cleansing ritual, preparing yourself for a fresh new start. Do your laundry, neaten up cluttered areas, and sort out bills and paperwork. Think of this cleaning as a way to purify your environment and make way for the fresh, positive energy of Diwali and the new year. The first day of Diwali, Dhanteras, is a day to celebrate Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. A traditional way of awaiting her arrival is to trace small footprints throughout your house. You sprinkle a mixture of rice flour and vermillion powder directly on the floor, or draw footprints on paper, cut them out, and place them around the house. Another tradition at the beginning of Diwali is to go shopping for new clothes and household items, like kitchen utensils and decorations. Try to buy at least a couple new items of clothing and kitchen tools to wear and use during Diwali, another way of celebrating the fresh start of a year. For example, you could buy a few new shirts or pants, a nice set of plates or utensils, or some jewelry. and doorways with rangoli on the second day. Narak Chaturdashi, the second day of Diwali, is typically when people adorn their homes with bright, colorful rangoli designs. Sketch out your design on a piece of transparent parchment paper, then sprinkle sand or dried rice over it. To add some color, buy colored rice or sand at a craft store or dye your materials using food coloring.  Rangoli is a traditional work of art and decoration done in sand or rice, often depicting beautiful, symmetrical flowers like lotuses and daisies. Rangoli designs are typically placed just inside the entryway of your home, but feel free to set them up elsewhere, too. You can also paint or draw your rangoli designs on paper or wood, or even buy them pre-made. Diyas are small oil lamps shaped like cups with cotton, candle-like wicks. To welcome the goddess Lakshmi into your...

TL;DR in Spanish:

El segundo día, decora tu casa y las puertas con rangolis. Enciende diyas y velas en toda tu casa, en especial en las entradas. Cuelga tiras de luces en toda tu casa para que quede brillante y festiva.


Dizziness or light-headedness usually hits when you are standing up or moving around. At the first signs of dizziness or light-headedness, sit or lie down immediately. This will usually help to relieve the spinning sensation and is safer in the event that you fall.  If you're sitting down, try putting your head between your legs. This increases the blood flow to your brain. Lying down will achieve the same result.  Remain seated or lying down for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the dizziness has passed. Dizziness is often the result of dehydration. Dehydration can be caused by not drinking enough water throughout the day or failing to rehydrate during and after exercise. It can also be an issue when you're suffering from an illness that causes vomiting, diarrhea or fever, which can cause you to lose a lot of fluid. Once the worst of the dizziness has passed, you should drink more water and other fluids. If you're finding it difficult to drink a lot of water, try drinking other fluids like energy drinks, hot tea with a little sugar, soups and broths, or diluted fruit juices. Dizziness can be caused by low blood sugar levels, especially for diabetics. When dizziness hits, try eating a quick snack, preferably something high in carbohydrates or sugar. A bar of chocolate or a banana might do the trick. To prevent dizziness when spinning, many dancers focus their eyes on a particular spot. The same technique can be used by people who suffer from dizzy spells. Focusing on a particular spot, like a crack in the ceiling or a speck of dirt on the floor, can help your senses to realize that you are not actually spinning, contrary to what your body is telling you. Dizziness can sometimes be a symptom of an anxiety attack. Often during anxiety attacks it feels as though you cannot get a full breath. But usually the problem is that you're trying to breathe too much. If this is the case, try breathing slowly and deeply. This will help you to calm down and alleviate feelings of dizziness. If you are experiencing feelings of...

Do a little detective work and discover some things your crush likes or dislikes. You may find you have some interests in common or at least something to talk about.  To help figure out her interests, you can talk to some mutual friends to learn more about her. You can also check out her social media pages to see what sorts of things she likes to do. Most people love to talk about the things that they are interested in. Once you find out one of her interests you can ask her about it to learn more. For example, if you know she is interested in basketball, you can ask her how long she has been playing. This can also lead into the two of you going to play basketball together. In order to spend more time with the girl you like, it is helpful to join something she is part of like an after school club, a team or a volunteer organization. For example, if the girl you like volunteers at a retirement home on the weekends, you could also sign up to volunteer at the retirement home. If she is part of the debate club at school and you’re interested in debate, you could join that club and spend more time with her there. It may be tempting to hide behind a screen but you need to spend time with the girl you like in real life. Your relationship will develop when you have connections in the real world and not only over the phone or computer. This is because spending time with someone in person can help to build your relationship and make it more intimate. Don’t ever try to be someone you’re not. You want the girl you like to like you, not a persona you’ve invented.  For example, if she is part of the school band but you don’t play an instrument, you shouldn’t join the band just to spend time with her. You could attend the band’s concerts to support her while finding another activity or interest you have in common. Remember to keep up your own interests as well. If you're spending time doing an activity that she likes, still make time to do activities that you like. Girls like when you have your own interests and hobbies, and...

Do a quick, basic cleaning of the pipe by knocking out any loose resin and using a cotton swab to wipe or dislodge any large pieces of gunk. Rinse the pipe out with warm water. Do not use cold water, as the transition from cold to boiling water may break your pipe. Place it on the stove and bring to a boil. Reduce water to a simmer. Make sure there is enough water to cover the entire pipe, preferably by 3–4 inches (7.6–10 cm) at least, to be safe. A simmer is when there is a constant, but not extreme, cascade of bubbles breaking the surface of the water. Make sure that the pipe is fully submerged in water. As it boils, the water will evaporate, so keep your eye on it so ensure your pipe doesn't end up alone in a hot pan, which may crack it. Remove pot from heat, drain out the water, and inspect the pipe to check for any excess residue. The pipe will be extremely hot, so use an oven mitt and extreme care to check it. Never douse the hot glass in cold water -- this will cause it to shatter. You may need to repeat this process with a fresh pot of clean water until the pipe is thoroughly cleaned. Take a cotton swab or pipe cleaner and wipe away any lingering residue. If there are water stains, soak your pipe for a few minutes in a mixture of lemon juice and 2–3 tablespoons (29.6–44.4 ml) of clean water and then let it air dry.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Quita toda la mugre o ceniza restante. Hierve agua en una olla pequeña. Sumerge la pipa en el agua. Deja que la pipa se remoje en el agua hirviendo por entre 20 y 30 minutos. Usa un limpiapipas o hisopo de algodón para eliminar cualquier residuo que quede.


Do backbends and butterfly stretches, as well as basic leg and ankle stretches. Be careful and always stretch first! If you don't warm up, you could hurt your muscles or injure yourself.  To stretch hamstrings: Sit with your legs straight in front of you. Reach for and grab your toes. Keep your back straight. Hold for 30 seconds. To stretch the legs and arms: Sit with your legs out, one out to each side. Reach up toward the sky with your left hand. Lean over and reach for your right foot. Hold for 30 seconds. Then, repeat on the other side.  Aim for a 20 minute warm up session before moving into tumbling. Once you're nice and stretched out, do a couple of standing back handsprings to warm your muscles up even more. Then try a few double handsprings. Start with a basic round off, then do two back handsprings in a row. Only pause for about 1-2 seconds between the handsprings. These will fully stretch you out and prepare your muscles for the standing back tuck. If you can't do a back handspring yet, you're not ready to learn the back tuck. As you're stretching out, visualize yourself successfully doing a back tuck in your mind. Imagine yourself in the starting position, being in the air, and landing the tuck perfectly. If you're nervous or scared, imagining yourself doing the back tuck can help ease your fears. The best spotter is usually a trainer, coach, or experienced gymnast. Their job is to help you get into position, hold you while you're in the air, and keep your posture correct while you try your first back tuck. With a spotter, you don't have to be afraid of falling -- they're there to catch you! Not only can they help you jump higher into the air, but they can also give you great advice on anything you may be doing wrong. Mats act as cushioning between you and the hard floor. If you do fall, you'll be much safer. They're also a great psychological motivator. If you're not worried about falling down, you'll jump higher and have better posture.   For beginners: try folding a mat up and standing on top of...

Do it outside so dirt doesn’t get all over your floor. Hit the soles of your shoes together a few times to help dislodge caked-on dirt and grime. Take the toothbrush and gently brush it back and forth over any dirt spots. Don’t use the toothbrush on the upper fabric portion of your shoes or you could damage them. Rinse off the toothbrush when you’re finished and store it in a plastic bag so you have it for the next time you clean your shoes. Add 1 drop of detergent to a bowl of warm water and dip a cloth in the mixture. Clean the soles and the upper sections of your shoes using the cloth. Rub the cloth back and forth over any dirt spots until they fade away. Use a clear laundry detergent if your shoes are white. Go over the soles and upper sections of your shoes so there’s no detergent left on them. You should wipe off all of the suds on your shoes. It's important you get all the detergent off so it doesn't dry on your shoes and damage them. Set your shoes somewhere inside so they dry out at room temperature. Don’t use a heater to speed up the process or you could damage your shoes.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sacúdeles la tierra a tus zapatos. Saca las masas de tierra de las suelas con un cepillo de dientes limpio y seco. Limpia los zapatos con detergente para ropa y agua caliente.

Do not allow children to share others' combs, hats, or towels. If the child is out on a trip with friends, advise children that they should use their own pillows, combs, towels, etc. It is the sharing of these things that often leads to transmission of head lice. Ensure that your child’s hair is clean daily. Sometimes, if the child is taking bath on his own, he might not wash his hair well. So, ensure that you check your child’s hair daily to check if the hair scalp is cleaned well. Hair hygiene is important, but it won't prevent a lice infestation on its own. However, it is easier to check your child for lice when his hair is clean. Teach your children tips on how to avoid lice as mentioned above like not sharing combs, etc., and also not to mix their things with other children’s belongings, like coats and hats. Simple habits like these can go a long way in preventing head lice. Children are most likely to get head lice from other kids in group situations. Kids are at the greatest risk of catching head lice when in school, in recreational or community groups, and while on athletic teams. Make sure any group activity in which you enroll your child has measures in place to quarantine a child with head lice until he or she can receive proper treatment. This will help guarantee that your child is not exposed to lice in the first place. Most public schools actively check for the presence of head lice in their student body and will take proper measures to ensure that other students are not exposed. However, athletic teams, church groups, and other community organizations do not take this step, so be vigilant and check your child after any potential exposure. Excessive itching or scratching of the scalp and hair, while often attributable to other factors, are definitely cause for concern. If your child seems to be experiencing these symptoms, check their head and scalp for lice immediately. It may take weeks for itching to occur after the infestation has taken hold. However, many children will complain of tingling...

Do not assume that because B strep is harmless in your body that it will not harm your baby. Group B strep may cause sepsis or meningitis in babies and may also cause pneumonia, all of which can be debilitating or deadly in infants. A baby that contracts group B strep may also suffer from kidney problems, gastrointestinal problems, difficulty breathing, and unstable blood pressure and/or heart rate.  Keep in mind that not all mothers who have group B strep will pass it on, but antibiotics helps to reduce the chance of passing on the infection. Make sure your pediatrician knows that you are group B strep positive during pregnancy so that the doctor can watch out for any sign or symptoms of infection in the infant. A previous course of antibiotics may reduce the B strep bacteria for a short time, but it will not protect your baby during labor. B strep can live in your body and you may carry it regardless of whether you were previously treated with antibiotics or herbal remedies.  If you tested positive for B strep prior to or during your pregnancy and followed up with a course of antibiotics, it is possible the infection may have returned prior to delivery.  If you are group B strep positive in the period just before delivery it is imperative that you receive antibiotics during delivery. Depending on the type of delivery you have, your options to avoiding passing B strep to your baby may vary.  If you have a planned surgical delivery due to particular health needs, you may not need IV antibiotics for yourself or your baby unless you naturally go into labor before the operation begins; however, some doctors will still give IV antibiotics even if you are having a caesarean section.  If you intend to deliver vaginally, you may be started on antibiotics as soon as labor begins to prevent your baby from becoming infected by coming into contact with the bacteria in vaginal fluids. If you are allergic to penicillin or another antibiotic, be sure your medical team is aware so that they can offer an alternative...

Do not attempt to rock out while zooming down the Autobahn at top speeds. Intense jamming can be very distracting and endanger the lives of others if done incorrectly.  Remove all uncovered liquids from the rocking out area. Hot coffee on your lap is not a good look on anyone. Only rock out when stuck in a traffic jam, on the open road, or at a stop light. Driving should be your first priority, rocking out your second. True, this makes for less than ideal rocking out conditions, but sometimes it just has to do. If a song comes on the radio and you find yourself squealing, let your inner rocker come alive. If you're in a residential area, roll up your windows. Babies are trying to sleep! If you run into the cops, you could be charged with disturbing the peace. If you're on the open road, roll 'em down and feel that breeze in your hair. Feel it? That's the freedom to rock out. Be grateful. Not everybody lives a life of such rocking privilege. Just because you're in a car does not mean your skills should be compromised. Your steering wheel is your drum and your seatbelt is your guitar strap. The road is your home. Go ahead! Punch, headbang, shimmy, and grit your teeth. Do these things with your eyes open. At all times. Keep your eyes on the road. Rocking out in a car requires the art of multitasking. Always put safe driving first.

Ponte seguro. Sube el volumen. Utiliza tus alrededores.


Do not attempt to see everything unless it’s a very small museum with just a few rooms. You’ll easily become overwhelmed both physically and mentally. Make a list of the things you’d like to see and prioritize what’s most meaningful to you.  For example, if you're visiting the Louvre in Paris, is the Mona Lisa a must-see for you? If so, make that number one on the list, and then add a few more things you simply can't leave without seeing. After that, write down some things that you'd like to see but wouldn't devastate you if you missed them. Visit the museum’s website to see what’s new or what’s most popular. Or ask friends and family who’ve been there before what they recommend checking out. Pick 1-2 exhibits that interest you, or about 20 pieces of art, sculptures, or other items of interest to look at in depth. Beyond that, you risk becoming tired and losing track of the things you’ve enjoyed most about the museum. If you have children with you, you may need to make it even shorter than this. Planning your visits on free or discounted days can help you feel like you’re not wasting money by staying so briefly. Eat a sizeable meal before you arrive so that you’re not distracted by hunger. And dress in comfortable clothing, especially when it comes to shoes. Wear something with good arch support or insoles since you’ll be on your feet for most of the museum visit.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz una lista de prioridades de lo que verás. Ponle un límite de dos horas a la visita. Llega cómodo y habiendo comido bien.


Do not break into a car unless you own it and have documentation to prove it.  Be aware that forced entry will set an alarm if the vehicle is equipped.  This method, and in fact most methods of hot wiring a car, will only work on cars older than the mid-90s. Newer models are equipped with a whole host of locking mechanisms in place to keep you from hot-wiring the car unless you're intimately familiar with the quirks of the model. If you try this on a 2002 Honda Civic, you're likely to end up setting off alarms and locking the starter, meaning no one can drive it. If you have access to the owner's manual, check to make sure the steering column and gear selector can be overridden. Serious damage to the shifting mechanism and steering column can result from this method. These are usually held in place with concealed clips or #2 Phillips-type screws. Remove them and pull the access panels free. Alternatively, on some much older models, you can break the locking pins in the ignition by hammering a flathead screwdriver into the keyhole and turning it over. It's very difficult--if not impossible--to do this by hand, but if you think the model is sufficiently old to allow for it, you can give it a shot. Once you remove the panels on the steering column, you should see a roil of electrical wires. Don't be intimidated, learn to recognize the right bundle. There will typically be three main bundles of wires:  Wires leading to the column-mounted controls on one side, like lights, cruise control, and other indicators Wires leading to the column controls on the other side, like wipers or seat warmers Wires leading to the battery, ignition, and starter leading straight up the steering column One of these will be the primary power supply for the ignition switch, one will be ignition wires, and the other will be the starter. The other colors will vary depending on the manufacturer. Read the owner's manual or look online to be sure you can identify all possibilities. Sometimes the ignition wires are brown and the starter wires...

Do not bring it up during every conversation, but mentioning it every other day or so should get the point across. Mention how eager you are to attend. Talk about all the little details involved, including the way your outfit looks and what you plan on wearing with it or, if you do not have an outfit yet, the sort of outfit you would like to wear. Also make sure to talk about how fun you think homecoming will be. Some examples of things you can say include: "I can't wait to see all my friends in their dresses," "I wonder what kind of music they'll play at homecoming," and "I can just tell that this homecoming is going to be memorable." When you talk about homecoming, make sure your crush knows that you are currently dateless. Along with mentioning how eager you are for homecoming to come, mention that you do not have anyone to go with yet or that you are only planning on going with your friends "so far." Use terminology like "so far" to suggest that you are open to the idea of going with a date rather than your group of friends.   Avoid saying anything desperate, though, like "I don't know what I'll do if no one asks me to go." Instead, keep the statements positive. You can say something like "I can't wait until homecoming. I wonder who I'll go with," or "So far I've just got plans to go with my friends. We've been talking about it non-stop." If the guy you have your eye on already has a date for homecoming, no amount of hint-dropping will make him ask you. Find out if your guy is available or a lost cause by asking about his homecoming plans. Do not blurt out the question, "Do you have a homecoming date?" Instead, as you are casually talking about your own plans, slip in a question about whether or not he plans to go or if he is looking forward to it. You can say something like "My friends and I have already planned out what we're going to do before homecoming. What about you?" As he begins talking more about homecoming, you can gradually ease the information out of him. If you find out that your crush is...

Do not burn papers in your wastepaper basket inside. This can easily get out of control and catch other things alight, leading to a serious house fire. Before burning outside, make sure you are allowed to burn paper in your city, county, or township.  If you have one on hand, you can burn the paper in a metal barrel. If you have a home with a yard, you can burn your documents by digging a hole in the ground. If you choose this method, be sure to take precautionary fire measures. If you have a lot of documents, then a bonfire will work well. If you have a manageable stack, then use your barbecue grill. You can also purchase items which compact shredded paper into fire logs. Take every precaution possible to prevent fire risks. If burning in a metal barrel, do it in an open area on a surface such as concrete, to avoid catching the container or anything not in the bin on fire. Make sure that all the documents burn completely. If they haven’t, repeat the process until they do.  Choose a non-windy day to burn outside. Always stay with a fire while it’s in progress. Never walk away from it. Don't burn paper that has plastic coating, magazines, colored paper, wrapping paper, or newspaper inserts. The ink used to print these materials contain metals that give off toxic fumes when burned.  It is safe to burn documents on plain, uncoated printer paper, junk mail, envelopes (without plastic windows), and plain newspapers (with inserts removed). Allow the burn location to cool completely before doing anything additionally. This is just to make doubly sure that all of the documents were burned completely. Make sure the fire has burned out completely before discarding the ashes.

Do not buy fancy, scented, coloured or flavoured salts; the salt needs to be as pure as possible. Make sure it's iodine-free and lacks preservatives -- if it's anything but salt it could irritate your skin/nasal lining / whatever you're using it for.

Do not choose the first thing that looks appetizing. Instead, take a walk around the entire buffet, and check out what is being offered. Take note of the things that look best to you. Exploring the contents of the buffet will also help you to avoid eating food that you don't really like or eating too much. You can't get the food you want without having a plate to put it on. Get one smaller appetizer plate in the beginning. Remember, you can always go back for another plate when you want something else. Check to make sure the plate is actually clean before grabbing it. It shouldn't have any food particles or oily residues left on it. Get another plate if yours is dirty. There may be lines in front of the serving stations. If you see multiple people lined up and they appear to be waiting, get behind the last person. If you aren't sure if it is a line, simple ask one of the people if they're waiting. Some buffets may be more formal than others so take a look around to see how other people are behaving before serving yourself. Start your meal with an appetizer. This could be a salad, soup, breadsticks, or whatever you'd like. Take a small portion of it to save room for the rest of your meal. Starting with an appetizer will also help you to pace yourself during the meal. If you don't want an appetizer, you can begin with the main course. After finishing the appetizer, set aside your plate or put it in a bin for dirty dishes. Then, put a fresh plate on your tray. You do not have to replace your utensils. Get the main dish and side (or sides) of your choice. For example, you can get a chicken breast with mashed potatoes. If you're still hungry, go back for seconds. This is perfectly acceptable at a buffet. Just make sure to get a fresh plate each time you get a new food. You can even go up for thirds if you're still hungry. If you're at a buffet you haven't paid for, like at a party, be considerate of others before getting seconds or thirds. Leave some food for someone else that hasn't gotten any food yet. Look at...

Do not drag or push furniture across the floor when you move it around. Instead, lift the furniture if possible. Lifting your furniture will prevent the scratches and scuff-marks that can be caused by dragging your furniture. If the furniture can’t be lifted, it is also an option to place slide it across the floor with something underneath it. Do not do any lifting on your own if you feel that the furniture is too heavy. Ask a friend or family member for help. If you have difficulty moving large or heavy pieces of furniture, place plastic discs with padding on one side (also known as furniture sliders or moving discs) underneath your furniture. These discs will allow large and heavy furniture to glide across the laminate flooring without causing damage. Soft, thick towels or heavy blankets can also be placed underneath heavy or large furniture as an alternative to plastic discs. Ask friends or family to help you with lifting furniture that is too large or heavy for you to move by yourself. This will prevent your laminate flooring from warping due to the expansion or contraction of the laminate flooring materials. Use a humidistat to measure the humidity levels in your home. You may already have a humidistat built into your thermostat or humidifier, or you can purchase one from a retail store that specializes in home repair. Use a humidifier during dry conditions to prevent your laminate flooring from shrinking, and use an air conditioner or dehumidifier in wet conditions to prevent your flooring from expanding. Long nails on your pet can cause extra damage to the floor. Make sure to keep your pet’s nails trimmed, but do not cut them so low that it injures the animal. Take your pet to a groomer, or trim your pet's nails using nail clippers designed for use on pets.  You should also check the pet’s paws when they come from outside to inside and remove any dirt and/or gravel.

Do not give out their contact information to potential employers unless they give you their explicit permission.  When asking your references for permission to give out their contact information, make sure that they plan on giving a positive recommendation. It’s also a good idea to ask your references how they would prefer to be contacted (ex. email, work phone, cell phone, etc.). You don't need to have "References available upon request" at the bottom of your resume. Employers will assume you have references and will ask for them specifically - usually at the end of the hiring process. Unless you are applying to be a nanny, personal assistant, or something with a similar level of one-on-one interaction, the main body of your resume should not even mention references. The heading should include your name in a clear, bold font. In a slightly smaller font beneath that, you should include your address, phone number, and email. For aesthetic reasons, you can align your contact information to the opposite corner, as below.  You may also want to add a line underneath the heading in order to clearly separate it from the rest of the document. If you include a line, choose one that is simple and elegant. For a more cohesive, professional look, maintain the same style and formatting that you used in your resume. The title should be in a slightly larger font - about the same size as your name is in the header. Choose a simple, clear title that reflects the content of the page. "Professional References for (Your Name)" is a good example. There are no hard rules for what order to list your references. It can be handy to list your "best" references first - that is, references that are extremely positive and that have worked with you for the longest.  Begin your reference list by listing the name of the first reference in bold. In the line beneath that, write their relationship to you and the company you both worked at. Include the work address beneath that – provided that they still work at the company where you both...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que tus contactos de referencia sepan que los incluirás como tales. Usa una página separada para tus referencias. Empieza tu lista de referencias con un encabezado. Debajo del encabezado, añade un título claro. Enumera tus contactos de referencia y sus datos relevantes. Da formato a cualquier referencia adicional de forma similar.


Do not hide somewhere obvious or somewhere teachers expect students to hide, like the cafeteria. Some schools have a music wing with practice rooms, which can be a good, safe and quiet option. Avoid highly populated areas or spaces that are out in the open. If you’re not planning on skipping the entire day, consider hanging out in a restroom. As long as you don’t draw attention to yourself, you should be able to stay there for a period or two without notice.  If someone enters the bathroom, keep your feet out of sight to avoid detection. Switch stalls every so often, just in case someone is monitoring bathrooms to ensure no one is hiding inside. Bring activities to keep your mind occupied (like a phone or a book) but make sure they are quiet and do not arouse suspicion amongst other bathroom goers. Talking about your successful skip day increases your chances of getting caught. If nobody knows you skipped school, nobody can rat you out. Refrain from bragging about your exploits; you don’t know who might be listening.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sé discreto. Utiliza los baños. Mantén cerrada tu boca.


Do not just announce the idea out of the blue. Your parents are likely to feel hurt and unwanted if that is the case. You should be honest about your concerns. Broach the conversation in a respectful manner. Consider:  “Mom, Dad, can we talk about the future?” “I see that you’re having trouble walking down all of these stairs. Would it better if you were to live somewhere easier to navigate?” “I know you’ve recovered from your broken hip, but [insert sibling’s name] would feel better if you would get more help.” Perhaps your parents have been thinking it is time for a change on their own. Before you make demands or offer suggestions, have a heart to heart talk with their wishes and needs. Use some of the following conversation for some ideas:  ”Have you thought about moving to somewhere you can get more health?” ”Have you considered hiring a home health aide to help out with your diabetes?” ”Where do you see yourself in the next few years?” No good decision was ever made in the heat of anger. The decision to move your parents into senior living should not be made alone. Do not try and force your opinion on your parents without first talking about all the options and listening to their opinions. This might help make the idea of moving more palatable and less combative. Researching, reviewing, and presenting facts may help distance yourself from a very emotional decision. This may be a tough time in your life and your parents’ lives. Try and examine facts as much as you can rather than making a decision solely on emotion. Your parents may be resistant at first to moving. This may especially be true if they have an attachment to their current home. They have resided there for many years. Try to place yourself in your parents’ shoes. Try and be courteous to their wishes and respect what they want. This might not always be the case given health concerns, but at least consider their viewpoint. This is a stressful situation. Your parents might vehemently disagree with this at the start. Keep calm and keep the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ten conversaciones frecuentes con tu padre. Pregunta a tu padre qué es lo que quiere. Mantén la calma. Sé lógico. Respeta las opiniones distintas. Trata de prever que quizás oponga resistencia. Mantén la mente abierta.


Do not leave dog food or bones out, as flies are attracted to open food sources. Set specific meal times for your dog to prevent their living space from becoming infested with flies. veral times a week. If your dog is often bothered by flies in your home, you may have an infestation. Regularly vacuuming your carpet will help you pick up any fly eggs on the ground that may be unseen by the naked eye. After vacuuming your home, empty the vacuum cleaner outside to prevent reinfestation. Because flies thrive in dirty conditions, keeping your dog's living areas well-maintained is important for preventing fly bites. Throw away any garbage, dog waste, or old food as you see it to avoid unpleasant smells, which can attract flies quickly. Flies are most active during the summer months, especially during the day. The hotter the temperature, the more likely your dog is to be infested with flies. Keep your dog indoors during the late morning and afternoon to prevent fly bites.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Limpia con rapidez la jaula de tu perro quitando los huesos y la comida que tenga alrededor. Aspira las alfombras Limpia cualquier desperdicio o basura de la casa y del jardín. Mantén al perro adentro durante los momentos más calientes del día.


Do not pick at them. Picking at a pimple can lead to infection, scarring, or the spread of pimple-causing bacteria. If you want a beautiful complexion, you have to be willing to let your pimples clear up over time. Using warm water and a gentle cleanser, wash any acne-prone areas every morning and evening. Resist the urge to use hot water or to scrub harshly: a gentle touch is needed in order to see an improvement. Shampooing every day or keeping your hair tied back can also help reduce the amount of oil that spreads from your hair to your face. Certain environments and professions that involve exposure to grease might exacerbate blemishes. If you are worried about blemishes or have blemish-prone skin, you might want to steer clear of jobs where you would work with grease, such as working in fast food. Items such as hats, stuffy clothing, headbands, and phones can make your skin produce more oil and can also spread acne-causing bacteria. Try to keep any blemish-prone skin areas clear of objects that might spread oil and bacteria. Wear breathable, loose fabrics to help avoid clogged pores on your body. It might be tempting to exfoliate skin that is particularly prone to blemishes. However, you must resist the urge to use harsh exfoliating treatments on this delicate skin. You risk damaging your skin, and exfoliating treatments will not improve the acne. These are the most common ingredients in over-the-counter anti-acne topical treatments. They will help reduce the amount of oil on your skin and will help prevent acne outbreaks. Follow the instructions carefully, and be on the lookout for possible allergic reactions to these products. However, it is normal to experience some initial redness or peeling in the first month of use. Be aware that many over-the-counter topical treatments will make your skin even more susceptible to UV damage from the sun. Take especial care while using these medications that you use sunscreens and wear UV protective clothing. A dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in the skin....

Do not place women, or any particular woman, on a pedestal.  No woman is perfect.  Women are human beings just like you, with their own struggles and challenges.  Many women are just as scared and vulnerable as you are.  Being realistic in your evaluation of women as a whole can render you less afraid of them.  Every woman has her own unique characteristics and traits.  Learn about them in greater depth to find out how to best converse with a given woman.  For instance, you might ask one woman about her favorite sports team, while you might inquire with another about her family.  Learn what each woman values in their life, and encourage her to share it with you. Accept that not all women will get along with you.  Women are individuals, each of whom has their own tastes and preferences.  Some people just don’t get along. Women confront huge problems in their everyday lives that men never have to think about.  Wage disparities, sexual harassment, abortion rights, and the double day are just a handful of the challenges unique to women.  The more you understand women and their struggles, the less they will seem to be an alien race, and the less scared of them you will become.  Read accounts of women’s liberation and struggles.  Literature by feminist activists like Gloria Steinem will enlighten you as to how women’s experiences and goals are different than -- but just as valid as -- those of men. Other important feminist literature like A Room of One’s Own, Herland, and The Yellow Wallpaper will illustrate women’s issues for you in great relief.  Understanding these differences can erode the fear you have for women and replace it with an abiding respect and admiration. Some people think women are best suited to simply being mothers or wives and doing domestic chores.  When you see that women are just as capable of greatness as men, you’ll be less likely to think of them as another, separate category unto themselves.  Think of a professional field and think about all the women who have contributed to it.  Seeing...

Do not push yourself to your physical limit with each workout. Instead, try interval training, distance training, and light bicycling once or twice each week to get in a variety of difficulty levels and to allow your body time to recover between stressful workouts. One of the simplest ways to get additional benefit from your bicycling fitness regimen is to add upper body or core strength training to your regimen while using a stationary bike.  Try bringing dumbbells to the gym to use while riding a stationary bike. Just be sure to keep your posture correct and to focus on maintaining balance and proper breathing.     Resistance bands will expand the number of upper body exercises you can do while riding a stationary bike.     Focus on tightening your abs and holding your shoulders in good posture while you cycle to help strengthen your core and shoulders. To work your abdominal muscles even further, place your hands behind your head and cycle slowly while twisting the upper body side to side gently, keeping abs tight.     Perform flexibility exercises while cycling, such as shoulder rotations, yoga sun salutations, butterfly movements, and other movements that help tone and stretch your upper body muscles.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Varía el grado de dificultad. Agrega ejercicios para el abdomen y la parte superior de tu cuerpo a tu rutina.


Do not reverse or mirror the text; just print it out on a piece of paper like you would any other document or homework assignment. The type of printer does not matter here, so you can use a laser or an inkjet printer.  Make sure that you use printer paper; you can even use binder paper in a pinch. Don't use cardstock, however, or it will be too thick for the transfer to work. Skip this step if you sketched your own text.

Do not say rude things that are unnecessary, whether they are true or false. Saying things that will further agitate a situation will do nothing to improve your relationship with your mother. No matter what, Mom will always think she knows what's best for her baby, and you will always be her baby. Tell her that she is entitled to her opinion, but that you feel differently. Include a statement like "Thank you for your advice, Mom, but I have decided that having children does not fit into my life plan." Expressing your opinion in a calm fashion will make her feel like you aren't attacking her.ship with your Mother. They took the time to raise you and provide for you. Be sure to thank them when they do something nice for you. This will let your Mom know that you appreciate her.

Do not simply hang up your mirrors everywhere in your home. Always take into account what the mirror is reflecting before hanging it up. You want to use mirrors to maximize light sources and emphasize space.  Mirrors should reflect a light source in order to brighten a room by creating more light. A mirror facing a blank wall will not do much to brighten your space. Instead, place a mirror across from a window or a well-lit area in your home. You should also avoid placing mirrors in areas where they will reflect things like furniture and clutter. You do not want a mirror to make a room look more cluttered. Instead of having a mirror facing a somewhat messy desk, have it reflect a sleek mantel that only holds a few decorative items. One strategically placed mirror in the kitchen is enough to make the room more open. Too many mirrors can be overwhelming and even look tacky. Mirrors are not usually necessary in the kitchen, so more than one mirror may look odd to visitors. For example, if you opt for a horizontal mirror running down one wall, do not put a mirror on the opposite wall. The effect will be overwhelming. Ceiling mirrors are no longer in fashion. They were popular in the '70's, but many decorators find them tacky. Also, mirrors on the ceiling will not do much to create the illusion of space. Stick to hanging mirrors on the wall. Mirrors can be great in your bedroom if you want to create more space there, as well as more light. A full-length mirror near your closet can work great if it, say, reflects a window or a lamp.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sé estratégico sobre dónde colocar los espejos. No exageres con los espejos en la cocina. Evita los espejos de techo.


Do not soak the beans, as this old technique has since been proven to ruin flavor and texture. Simply rinse them off and move on. The bigger decision, of course, is which beans to use:   Pinto beans are the classic choice. Sweet but savory, with a good size for mashing and a creamy texture, they are the top refried beans.  Black beans are slightly courser, without the sweet notes of pinto beans, which can lead to a somewhat more muted flavor that compliments many flavors well without overpowering.  Navy, cannellini, and white beans can all be used for delicious refried beans, though they won't be "classic" by any stretch. They tend to have a lighter flavor and creamy texture, but are all open for culinary experiments. The water should be at least a few inches above the beans, as they will absorb the liquid as they cook. You should be able to easily pierce each bean with a fork when they are done. These water, which is lightly flavored, will help cook the beans the second time, in your frying pan. Ladle out at least one cup of the bean cooking liquid for later. Use a skillet big enough to fit the beans, melting your frying fat first while the cooked beans sit to the side. The type of fat you use will greatly impact the flavor of your final dish, so choose wisely:   Lard: the "king" of refried bean fats, this is the most common fat used to cook the beans. Pork fat, in particular, is a spectacular choice.  Bacon drippings: the second-most common fat in recipes, as it is readily available and lends a rich, smokey flavor to the beans. Can be mixed or cut with vegetable oil.  Vegetable or Canola oil: these mild oils will allow the flavors of your spices, beans, and onions to shine through. Don't use high-flavor oils like olive or truffle unless you want those flavors in the beans -- which most cooks don't.  Butter: not incredibly common, but still delicious, butter imparts a rich creaminess to the beans that is unconventional, but certainly delicious. Cook them over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until translucent,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge y enjuaga 2 1/2 tazas de frijoles secos en agua fría. Cubre los frijoles con al menos 5 cm (2 pulgadas) de agua y hazlos hervir. Reduce el fuego para que los frijoles hiervan a fuego lento y deja que se cocinen durante 1 a 2 horas hasta que estén suaves. Escurre el agua o cuela los frijoles reservando el agua en la que se cocinaron para más tarde. Escoge el tipo de grasa para freír que usarás y calienta de 5 a 6 cucharadas a fuego medio. Mientras dejas que los frijoles se asienten, fríe las cebollas picadas en el aceite. Agrega ajos con sal y condimentos después de 1 o 2 minutos de cocinar las cebollas. Agrega los frijoles y fríe todo durante 2 minutos aproximadamente. Agrega una taza de líquido reservado y usa un prensador de papas para aplastar la mezcla. Deja que la mezcla de frijoles aplastados hierva hasta que obtenga la consistencia que desees.


Do not step in for a handshake, a hug, or even a friendly clap on the back. Instead, maintain a respectful distance of several feet. Japanese culture values space and privacy, so make sure your body language reflects these values. Keeping two or three feet between you and someone else is a good rule of thumb. If you are further away, speaking and interacting may prove awkward or difficult. Speak distinctly but quietly, stay off of your cell phone in public spaces, and allow your hosts to take the initiative. Doing these things will demonstrate to your friends, hosts, or business colleagues that you are adaptable and value their cultural norms. Boisterous and aggressive behavior are both considered disrespectful. Be kind to any vendors or service people you come across. Bold eye contact is considered quite rude, so keep your eyes averted whenever possible. Although you do not have to stare at your feet, try to watch someone’s mouth while they talk, or their chin. Avoid heavy eye contact, as this can appear aggressive and inappropriate.  Practice avoiding eye contact in the mirror by talking and watching your mouth, or in interactions with people from your home. This rule may be lax in some areas of Japan, or among younger crowds. Hold your bow for between two and five seconds, keeping your hands near your hips or thighs. The more respect you wish to convey, the deeper your bow should be. You can also bow with your hands pressed together near your heart. Although you should never initiate a handshake, you can accept one. Touching in general is considered somewhat taboo in a formal situation, so a handshake should only be engaged in if the person to whom you are speaking begins the contact. In Japanese culture, exchanging business cards is an important aspect of communication. To properly offer your business card, extend your card with both hands, preferably with Japanese writing on the side of the card facing your colleague.  To accept a card, take the card with both hands and bow to indicate your appreciation....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén distancia. Sé respetuoso. Mantén tu mirada baja. Haz una reverencia desde la cintura hasta un ángulo de 45 grados. Dale la mano, si te ofrece la suya. Dale tu tarjeta de contacto.


Do not stick objects inside your cast as a way to calm your itch. Scratching your skin with these objects may break skin or lead to infection.   You also may end up going to additional doctor's visits, or need to get a new cast put on, due to items that are now trapped inside the cast.  These items include:   Chopsticks Pencils or other writing tools Coat hanger wire Powders and lotions may reduce perspiration on the skin, but should only be used outside the cast so that the skin stays clean and soft.  Powder inside a cast can cake and cause sores.  If your cast has a perspiration odor, this is normal; however, if you notice an unusual or foul odor coming from the cast contact your doctor. Even though that itchy, scratchy feeling may feel miserable, damaging your cotton lining to your cast, or loosening your cast, may make matters worse.  For some casts, the cotton lining is used to protect the skin from a saw blade when the cast is removed. Without that protective lining in its proper place, the skin may get scratched during removal.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evita usar utensilios que puedan causarte una infección o que puedan quedar atrapados en el yeso. Limita el uso de polvos o cremas. Evita jalar o arrancar el forro del yeso.


Do not swerve into the right lane, or cut anyone off (abruptly move into the lane without adequate room). If you cannot get into the right lane, do not attempt to turn on red. If your turn signal is still on, you can leave it on. You can also turn it off briefly before signalling your turn. For the safety of drivers and bicyclists around you, you should never begin your turn without signalling. In some states, you cannot turn on red if there is a red right arrow, so check your state laws. Many cities also have laws in addition to, or separate from, state laws. Make sure you know all the laws in your city. If there is a crosswalk, stop at the crosswalk. Otherwise, stop at the limit line. You must stop completely before making your turn. Do not coast through the turn, even if all appears to be clear. Pedestrians crossing always have the right of way. Cyclists may also be coming behind you. If there is a bike lane, you must signal and enter it just as you would a regular lane.  Oftentimes cyclists pull out further into the intersection, and may not be required to obey red lights.  Keep this in mind as you check for them.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que estés en el carril correcto. Comienza a señalizar alrededor de 30,5 m (100 pies) antes de virar. Verifica que no haya un cartel que prohíba el viraje cuando el semáforo esté en rojo. Frena por completo. Observa que no pasen peatones ni ciclistas.


Do not try to fight the shooter if you can safely escape or hide from the assailant. Fighting should be a last resort, but if you must fight, it's important to go into full survival mode. Locate anything you can use to hit or harm the shooter, such as a chair or fire extinguisher or pot of hot coffee. Most people won't have armed weapons on hand, so you'll need to improvise and use what you've got around you. You could hold the object in front of your body to deflect the shots or throw it at the shooter.  Scissors or letter openers can be used as a knife. Even a pen could be used as a weapon, particularly since you give it leverage with the back of your thumb.  If there is a fire extinguisher nearby, grab it. You can spray the fire extinguisher in the shooter's face, or use the object itself to bash the shooter in the head. Fighting back against the shooter is always a last resort if your life is endangered. If you cannot escape or hide, work alone or with others to fight. Try to find a way to get the gun out of his hands or to knock him down to disorient him. Encourage others to try and help you. Working as a group will give you an advantage over the solitary shooter. If the shooter is very close, you could try to disarm him, again, only if your life is absolutely in danger. Whatever you do, it's important that you act fast and focus on disarming or incapacitating the shooter.  If the shooter has a rifle, grab the barrel and turn it away from you while striking or kicking him at the same time. The shooter will likely try to get control of the weapon back, but if you follow his movement he may be caught off guard and get thrown off balance. If you can get the butt end of the rifle as well, then you'll have both ends and can use the weapon as leverage to further kick, knee, or push the assailant.  If the shooter has a pistol, try to grab it by the barrel from the top, so that he cannot point it at you. With many models, grabbing the pistol from the top keeps the gun from cycling properly, so while the already...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Enfréntate como último recurso. Busca elementos que puedas utilizar como armas. Reduce al tirador. Sé agresivo. Trata de concentrarte.


Do not use a hammer if it is rusty, the wood is splintering, or if the head is loose. Using a hammer that is not in good working order can result in injuries.  For example, if the head of the hammer is loose, it can fly off when swinging it. If you can, use a screwdriver to tighten the nails. If not, you may have to replace the hammer. If the wood is splintered, the hammer can break upon impact. You could injure or lose your eye if a nail or other flying object hits it. When you put on the safety glasses, make sure your entire eye area is covered and the strap is tightly secured. If you are distracted or daydreaming while working, you can wind up hurting yourself by mistake. Stay present as you work, and keep your attention on the hammer. This way, you are less likely to have an accident. If you daydream while working, you could wind up hitting your fingers instead of the nails.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Inspecciona el martillo antes de utilizarlo para asegurarte de que esté en buenas condiciones. Usa unas gafas de seguridad para protegerte de los elementos que pueden salir volando. Mantente concentrado en lo que haces en todo momento para prevenir una lesión.


Do not use clear school glue for this. They are not the same thing and will not produce the same type of slime. You can use a spoon or rubber spatula to do this. As you add the baking soda, you may notice the glue starting to thicken, which is normal. If the slime is still too sticky for you, add 1/4 tbsp (3.75 mL) of contact solution, and keep kneading it.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Vierte 120 ml (4 onzas) de cola blanca en un recipiente. Agrega ½ cucharada de bicarbonato de sodio. Agrega más solución salina para lentes de contacto, de ser necesario.


Do not use products that contain sulfates. Sulfates are great at cleaning your hair, but they can also strip it of dye. If you want to make your color last longer, stick with color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Most products will say on the label if they are color-safe or sulfate-free. If you are not sure, read the ingredient list on the back of the bottle. Avoid anything with the word "sulfate" in it. Add some of your dye to your bottle of conditioner. This will deposit a little bit of color into your hair each time that you wash it and help the color last longer. Purchase a deep-conditioning mask meant for colored or chemically-treated hair. Apply the mask to damp hair, then tuck your hair under a plastic shower cap. Wait for the time on the package, then rinse the mask out. Most hair masks need to be left in your hair for 5 to 10 minutes, but some need to be left in for 15 to 20 minutes. Read the label, but don't panic if you leave the mask in too long. The more often you wash your hair, the faster it will fade--even with a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner. If your hair tends to get oily or greasy, consider using a dry shampoo between your washing sessions. Much like heat styling, hot water can cause the dye to fade faster from your hair. It can also cause your hair to appear damaged. After you have finished shampooing and conditioning your hair, rinse your hair with cold water for 1 minute for extra smoothness and shine. If you can't handle cold water, use lukewarm water instead. Unless it is freezing outside and you are running late for work or school, let your hair air dry. If you want to curl your hair, seek out a method that does not require any heat, such as foam hair rollers. Avoid straightening your hair, when possible.  If you must use a flat iron or a curling iron, make sure that your hair is completely dry first. Apply a good heat protectant and use a lower heat setting. The sun can cause the color to fade as well. Wear hats, scarves, or hoods when going outside....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Utiliza productos sin sulfatos y aptos para el cabello pintado. Acondiciona a profundidad el cabello una vez a la semana con una mascarilla capilar. No te laves el cabello más de una o dos veces por semana. Utiliza agua fría al lavarte el cabello. Limita el uso de herramientas térmicas siempre que sea posible. Retoca tu cabello cada 3 o 4 semanas o conforme sea necesario.


Do not use regular paint primer, even if it is labeled "for metal." It is not the same thing. Purchase a can of "self-etching primer" from a home improvement store or an auto specialty store, and use that instead. While you can brush paint onto aluminum, you have to spray the primer on. The aerosol cans that paints and primers come in release fumes, which can cause headaches and lightheadedness.  Outside would be the best option, but if you can't work there, choose a large room with good ventilation and open windows. A respirator mask is a must. Do not paint if it is raining or humid outside, as this can affect the curing process. Shake the can for about 30 to 60 seconds first, then hold it about 8 inches (20 cm) from the surface. Spray on a light, even coat using overlapping strokes. You can spray side-to-side or up-and-down. Overlap each stroke ever so slightly to ensure that you are covering the surface evenly.  If your can has a different set of application instructions, you should follow those instead. If you are working with a multi-sided object, let the first side dry to the touch before priming the other sides. Check the can again to find out exactly how long you should wait before applying a second coat. Most primers will have a "between coats" drying time and a curing time. Refer to the "between coats" time for this. How long it takes for the primer to dry depends on the brand that you are using. In most cases, you'll have to wait between 5 and 15 minutes. Again, check your can to find out exactly how many coats of primer you should use and how long you should wait for it to cure. In most cases, you'll need about 3 to 4 coats of primer and wait about 1 hour for it to cure.  Be patient and let the primer cure. If you don't wait long enough, the paint and primer may peel. Double-check the instructions on the can for more specific curing times. Remember to apply light coats of primer. This will help it cure properly. If you slap on a thick coat, the primer may go tacky or just peel off.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra una lata de imprimante autograbante. Encuentra un área bien ventilada para trabajar. Rocía una capa uniforme de imprimante autograbante sobre el aluminio. Deja secar el imprimante durante 15 minutos antes de añadir una segunda capa. Añade dos o tres capas más y luego espera una hora para que la imprimación fragüe.


Do not use this method for crystal wine glasses, or for wine glasses with long, delicate stems. Also, do not use this method for painted or glittered wine glasses. Do not load them in with anything that is very dirty or greasy. The grease can get on the glasses and smear them. Try to have about a hands width between each glass. This will lessen the chances of the glasses bumping against each other and chipping. The less detergent you use, the better. Also, try to use a mild, low-alkaline detergent. Do not add any rinse-aid. Rinse-aid may help prevent water stains, but it will also leave behind a chemical residue that will affect the flavor of your next glass of wine. If the wine glasses are stained, consider adding half a wine glass of white vinegar into the wash cycle. If you can, try to use a lower water temperature setting as well. The higher the water temperature, the more likely your wine glasses will be to crack. Instead, open the door at the end of the cycle to let the glasses air dry without humidity. Gently wipe them dry with a soft, lint-free cloth (such as microfiber), and put them away.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge copas de vino de vidrio de tallo corto. Planea lavar las copas separadas del resto de los platos. Acomoda las copas boca abajo en la rejilla superior y sepáralas entre sí a fin de que no se toquen. Usa una pequeña cantidad de detergente sin aroma. Usa un ciclo suave y corto. Sáltate el ciclo de secado. Seca las copas a mano si vives en un área en la que el agua sea dura.


Do not wait to get treatment for schizophrenia. If you have not been properly diagnosed, see a medical professional as soon as you  notice symptoms in yourself so that you may begin treatment. The earlier treatment is started the better the outcome tends to be. Symptoms tend to begin in men in their early or mid-20s whereas symptoms are more likely to first occur in women in their late 20s.  Signs of schizophrenia can include:  A sense of suspiciousness. Unusual or strange thoughts, such as believing someone close to you wishes you harm. Hallucinations, or changes in your sensory experiences; for example, seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, or feeling things that others don’t experience in situations where they should if you are experiencing them.  Disorganized thinking or speech. 'Negative' symptoms (i.e., reductions of typical behavior or functioning) such as a lack of emotion, a lack of eye contact, a lack of facial expression, neglect of hygiene, and/or social withdrawal. Disorganized or abnormal motor behavior, such as putting one's body into weird postures, or engaging in pointless or excessive movements. There are several factors that put individuals at an increased risk for developing schizophrenia:  Having a family history of schizophrenia. Taking mind-altering drugs as a young adult or teenager. Certain types of experiences in the womb, such as exposure to viruses or toxins. Increased immune system activation from things like inflammation. Unfortunately, schizophrenia is not a condition that can simply go away. Treatment will be a necessary part of your life, and creating a treatment plan will help to turn your treatment into another normal part of your daily activities. To create a treatment plan, talk with your doctor about the medications and therapies that will best fit your specific condition. Remember that everyone is different—not all medications or therapies will work for everyone, but you must keep trying to find the treatment that works best for you. Do not try to figure out what the right...

Do not wear loose-fitting clothes, clothes made from flammable synthetic materials, or clothing with frayed or torn edges that may ignite more easily than tightly-woven, clean-hemmed garments.  Fire-retardant clothing is recommended but, if that isn’t available, wear close-fitting cotton clothes. Nylon and most other common synthetic clothes will rapidly burn if caught on fire! Sturdy, leather-soled work boots are recommended. Hot pieces of metal, called slag, can easily burn through rubber-soled shoes. Laced boots are preferable since slag can drop into the top of pull-on boots, like engineer's boots and cowboy boots. You should also have a set of cutting goggles and heavy leather gloves. For most projects, a compressed air and water extinguisher will work, but if oil, plastics, or other combustible materials are around, an "ABC" extinguisher is recommended. It’s also a good idea to have another person standing nearby who can alert you if something catches fire. Flying slag can easily cause a fire in your workspace, so test your fire extinguisher to ensure it’s in good working order before you start cutting. Working on bare earth or a concrete slab is highly recommended since sparks are going to fly many feet from the cutting location. Dry material like paper, sawdust, cardboard, and dried plant foliage or grass can be ignited from 15 feet (4.6 m) or further. Do not allow the flame to contact concrete, especially fresh concrete, as it may cause it to expand and crack violently, sending small bits of concrete flying. A steel table is ideal since you can brace yourself to steady the torch. Never use a surface that is flammable, like a wooden table, or one that has had flammable materials spilled on it. Also, beware of material that has metallic oxide coatings, such as lead paint, chromate primers, and zinc plating, since inhaling the fumes from these can be toxic. If you need a more precise cut, measure a little extra space so you can grind your cut. You may use a permanent marker if a soapstone is not...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Utiliza ropa ignífuga y botas pesadas con suela de cuero. Ten un extintor a la mano. Asegúrate de que el espacio de trabajo esté libre de materiales inflamables. Establece el proyecto sobre soportes de acero a una altura de trabajo cómoda. Utiliza un marcador de esteatita para marcar tus áreas de corte.


Do not wrap it with cling wrap or butcher paper at this point, which will trap heat in the meat and promote spoilage. Make sure the carcass is cool and dry. As soon as possible, the meat needs to be transported and stored at 34–38 °F (1–3 °C). Avoid freezing the meat right away, as freezing will inhibit the aging process and speed its spoiling after the meat is thawed. The most difficult part of the process is finding a space big enough for your deer that can be temperature controlled. The most popular location is generally a garage, shed, or an outbuilding. Places that receive some heat seepage from the house, like a garage tend to be particularly effective.  If you don't have a garage, talk to friends and other hunting acquaintances to find a suitable location. Or follow the first few steps of the breaking down process to quarter the meat and age it in a spare refrigerator. The quarters from an average deer should fit in a standard fridge.  Err on the side of too cold. Generally, you'll freeze at least some of the meat after breaking it down anyway. Be very careful not do let your venison spoil by aging it above 40 °F (4 °C).  Make sure to keep a thermometer in your aging space. Use a meat hook and chain or rope to affix the meat to a sturdy rafter in your aging location. If you don't have a meat hook, try using an old wire hanger inside the carcass to hang the deer. Like beef, aging the meat causes the collagen in the muscle cells to break down. The quality and flavor of the venison is greatly improved by letting the meat sit for a week in a cool space with good air circulation.  This causes the surface of the meat to dry, but don't worry--this can be trimmed off during the butchering process. The meat will continue to grow more tender for 16-21 days.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lava la carne con bastante agua fría y luego transpórtala con hielo. Busca una ubicación apropiada para la maduración. Cuelga el cadáver. Madura la carne por lo menos durante una semana.


Do not yank on the cord to pull the blinds up or down. Make sure children do not pull on the cords or twist the slats. Careful use will ensure that the blinds will work properly and last a long time. The slats on the blinds will gather dust over time. Every couple of weeks, wipe each slat carefully with a downward motion. You can also use a soft vacuum upholstery attachment, running it over each slat to remove dust. Alternately, wear a pair of soft gloves or old socks on your hands and rub your hands along each slat. Twist the slats to clean the other side.  If there are stains on the slats, use a wood cleaner to clean them off. Using a damp cloth with a small amount of cleaner, test an inconspicuous spot to make sure the cleaner does not mar or stain the surface of your blinds. Gently scrub the dirt with the cleaner, rubbing along the grain of the wood. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.  Be careful not to get the blinds wet. Using a damp cloth is fine, but too much moisture can warp the slats and discolor the wood. If a slat gets broken or cracked, you do not need to replace the entire blind. Remove the plugs on the bottom slat to reveal the lift cord knot. Undo the knot and pull the lift cord out of the slat. Continue pulling the cord out, only pulling out of the slats until you reach the slat you want to remove. Replace the slat (available through your blinds manufacturer). Restring the lift cord through the blinds, weaving it back through the slats in the same pattern as you had removed it. Pull the cord through the bottom slat and tie a knot. Replace the plugs on the bottom to cover the knot. Use a rubber mallet to tap these in.

Do so by tapping it in your hotbar. This is a relatively simple, if tedious, task: to do so, fill in the entire foundation area with your hotel's floor's building material.  For example, if your cleared area is the aforementioned twenty-by-twenty space, you'll place 400 blocks of your selected building material here. It's best to first fill in the perimeter so that you don't accidentally stray outside of the boundaries of your hotel's foundation. The ideal number of blocks between the floor and the ceiling is at least four. Each column should be as tall as you're hoping to make the hotel. To calculate this number:  Take the height in blocks you want each room to be, plus one block for the ceiling/floor of the subsequent room. Multiply the height in blocks by the number of stories you want. Discount the layer of blocks that comprises your hotel's foundation. The easiest way to do this is by creating horizontal beams that connect all of your hotel's columns, then filling in the horizontal space for each beam. You're essentially re-creating the foundation on each story. Be sure to leave several spaces for your hotel's stairs to connect each floor. While optional, doing this will complete the building's skeleton. Make sure you leave the walls facing out of the hotel open, since you won't have enough light with which to work if you don't.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Selecciona el material de construcción. Construye la base. Decide qué altura tendrá cada habitación. Coloca una columna en cada esquina de la base. Coloca el suelo o techo para separar los pisos. Llena el techo en la parte superior del hotel.

Do some research into what kinds of food you should feed your fish—some may be fine with a mix of pellets, while others might prefer fresh food from a seafood market. Try to feed them several small servings a day rather than 1-2 large feedings, as this keeps them more satisfied.  Buy food at your pet store or at seafood markets. Make sure any non-pellet food you give your fish are from saltwater habitats, not freshwater. Watch your fish when they feed. They should eat quickly and finish every bite! If you see a fish not eating, talk to your veterinarian. Give your fish a different kind of food every few days to ensure they’re getting the right nutrients and staying satisfied. A protein skimmer collects dissolved organic compounds, like waste, filtering them out of the water to keep it clean and clear. Set yours up according to the package instructions and empty it daily to keep it working well.  To empty the protein skimmer, simply remove the collection cup, empty it in the sink, and rinse it clean. You can buy a protein skimmer wherever fish aquarium products are sold, in pet stores, and online. Protein skimmers can attach below the tank, on the rim, or inside the tank. Although water will eventually evaporate from your aquarium, the salt will be left behind. To return your water level to normal, simply add purified freshwater to the tank. Don’t add new saltwater after evaporation. This will alter the specific gravity of your system. Use an algae magnet, brush, or scraper to clean the algae film off of your aquarium glass every day. If the algae builds up at a slower rate, you can switch to every other day, or even weekly. Along with a few quick everyday tasks, there are a few things you can do on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to keep your tank clean and pleasant for your fish. These include:  Testing the specific gravity, pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and alkalinity of the water. Clean the salt off your aquarium cover, power cords, and the edges of the tank. Mix up new saltwater and change about 10% of the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Alimenta a los peces varias veces al día con la comida adecuada. Dispón un separador de proteínas y vacía el vaso colector todos los días. Reemplaza el agua salada evaporada por agua dulce purificada todos los días. Limpia las algas del tanque a diario. Prueba los parámetros del agua, cambia el agua y realiza una limpieza más profunda todas las semanas. Lava las partes del tanque una vez al mes o cada dos meses. Reemplaza los bombillos de la iluminación siguiendo las instrucciones del empaque.


Do some research on what people working on similar projects have been doing. Google is your friend in this adventure. You should not be looking at what others are doing in order to copy them. Instead, you should be seeing where their ideas fall short or what pieces of their project might fit into yours. Once you see what run-of-the-mill folks are doing, find out what the innovators are doing. Seek out the cutting edge and fringe ideas or techniques that other people are experimenting with. You might want to similarly experiment! Such innovation can set you apart, making what you do unique, memorable, and appealing. Get outside of your usual environment. This is a great way to break yourself out of the standard creation loop and think of things that you've never thought of before. Go for a walk, go to a local artisan or farmer's market, or work in a cafe for a while. Any change of environment can help you think in different ways. Always have a journal next to your bed. You'll also want to keep a waterproof note-taking option in your shower area. Good ideas often sneak up on us when we're doing these other activities, but then get lost as we get distracted with whatever else it is we're doing. By having a pen and paper nearby, you'll be able to quickly jot down the things you think of before they fly away! It's important to take breaks, to keep your mind clear of negative response loops. A lot of the time, when you're thinking and coming up with nothing, you get too focused on the fact that you're coming up with nothing, making it impossible to really think. Try having a healthy snack, catch up with a coworker, or do a quick chore (such as cleaning up your mess from dinner). During the brainstorming process, criticism isn't helpful. You'll need the freedom of minimal boundaries in order to get to new ideas. Leave criticism for once you have a long list of possibilities.  If you're brainstorming with other people, you might need to remind some people to keep negative opinions to themselves until the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Investiga. Observa qué están haciendo los innovadores. Ve a algún lugar. Mantén un diario a lado de tu cama ¡Toma un descanso! Bloquea las críticas.
