Signs of physical abuse include:  Bruises and injuries Broken bones Dislocations, sprains, or fractures Scrapes on any part of the body Burns from cigarettes, hot water, or appliances Unexplained or suspicious injuries A change in behavior towards others Differing explanations of how injuries occured Since elders can be weaker than others, they may be the target of sexual abuse. Sexual abuse is when any elderly person is subjected to unwanted sexual contact of any kind, from groping to intercourse, especially when he or she does not have the mental capacity to consent. Although the majority of sexually abused elders are women, it can happen to men as well. Signs include physical pain, tenderness, or bleeding from the genital or anal region, bruises on the inner thighs or genitalia, clothing that is torn, bloody, or stained, and difficulty walking or sitting when there was no previous issue. The elderly may be subjected to psychological abuse. This type of abuse is the intentional and willful infliction of mental or emotional duress or anguish through humiliation, threats, or other verbal means. Common indicators of psychological abuse include:  Depression Uncharacteristic confusion Problems sleeping Being emotionally withdrawn, upset, irritable, or non responsive Signs that can be attributed to dementia, such as rocking or biting Unexplained weight loss or weight gain Unexplained stress symptoms, such as high blood pressure Financial elder abuse covers any activity that takes the money or resources from an elder under questionable circumstances. This includes taking money or property, forging a signature to gain resources, using property or possessions without permission, taking money for services not given, and scams or cons of any nature. Signs include:  Unpaid...

Electric sharpeners themselves are more expensive than manual sharpeners, running about $40 to $100, depending on the brand you get. They’re more intuitive, though, and are really easy to use as they will just pull the blade through for you. It takes less time and effort to sharpen your knives than the other manual methods require. Make sure to do your research before ordering your electric sharpener. Some brands are meant for specific kinds of knives, and some include extra features, like a lifetime warranty. This is a really nice choice for your everyday home cook who doesn’t spend more than an hour or 2 in the kitchen every day. They’re smaller than the electric versions, making them easier to store, and they’re fantastic to use for daily touchups or for grinding a dull blade back to sharpness. They cost anywhere from $10 to $60, depending on the brand you choose. There’s something to be said for the feeling of manually sharpening your own knife, too. Lots of cooks enjoy the physicality of taking care of their knives and you do get more control over your movements with a manual sharpener than you would with an electric sharpener. Whetstones are generally just a small block of material that you’ll run your knife down to sharpen its blade. Always soak it in water for at least 5 to 10 minutes before you use it. Hold the knife at a 22-degree angle and slide it forward down the whetstone, with the blade touching the stone. Repeat the movement 5 to 10 times to sharpen your knife.  The cold-water soak keeps your knife from overheating as it’s being sharpened. If a knife gets too hot, it’s chemistry can change and the blade can become brittle and warped. Do double-check the instructions before wetting your whetstone. While the majority of them do need to be soaked beforehand, there are a few brands and types of stones that aren’t meant to get wet. A honing rod is also often called a sharpening steel, and they often come along with a block-knife set. Honing doesn’t actually remove any steel from the knife and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Invierte en un afilador eléctrico si sueles cocinar con cuchillos costosos. Compra un afilador extraíble o manual como una buena opción doméstica. Opta por el uso de un molejón como un afilador suave y con temperatura controlada. Utiliza una varilla de afilar para realinear rápidamente los bordes de la cuchilla. Lleva los cuchillos a un profesional si no puedes afilarlos tú mismo en casa.


Electric shavers are all either rotary shavers or foil blades. Rotary shavers have several spinning blades that are usually pivoted so they can adjust to various angles of the skin. Foil blades have a linear blades that move back and forth underneath a flat, perforated steel cover. Models are made for men and women that are designed to perform optimally for gender specific applications. Models that perform best over the flat surfaces of the legs will not work as well on the sharp angles of a face and vice versa. Electric razors tend to get hot with use. Heat can irritate the skin and lead to razor burn. If you notice the razor is beginning to feel hot against your skin, shut it off for a few minutes. Once it cools down, resume your shave.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra una rasuradora eléctrica. Deja que la rasuradora se enfríe.


Electric vacuums run off of your home's AC power to generate powerful suction. Make sure the vacuum is plugged into a nearby electrical outlet, or that the battery is fully charged. If your vacuum has a separate power switch, leave it in the “off” position for now. Check for a light display that indicates that your vacuum is connected and charged. Most pore vacuums come with a variety of attachments that are designed to be used on different types of blemishes. Examine the blackhead you're attempting to remove to choose an attachment that will get the job done. Snap the nozzle into place on the front end of the vacuum and make sure that it's secure.  Choose smaller attachments for single, pin-sized spots and larger attachments for big clogs and troublesome clusters. Your electric vacuum may come with a one-size-fits-all nozzle. The opening of this nozzle will be large enough to cover the blackhead and a small portion of the area around it. Position the vacuum over the blackhead so that it's completely enclosed by the nozzle. Try to hold the vacuum perpendicularly so that the nozzle is flush with the skin. This will help form a secure seal, making the suction more effective.  For best results, suction one blackhead at a time. You might have to move the vacuum around a bit when working around the contours of the nose, cheeks and chin to find the best angle. Switch on the vacuum. You should feel a gentle tugging sensation as the suction begins to pull at your skin. After a few seconds, the steady suction will loosen and pull out the compacted dirt and oil that's clogging the pore. Repeat as many times as needed until you've eliminated the worst of the blackheads.  After extracting the biggest part of the blackhead, run the vacuum lightly over the surrounding skin to suck out any other small clogs and potential trouble spots. Follow the cleaning instructions included with your blackhead vacuum to sanitize the unit after each use.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Enchufa el succionador. Coloca una boquilla del tamaño apropiado. Coloca la punta de la boquilla sobre un punto negro. Activa la succión.


Elevate the injured body part above the level of the heart, as this can help to diminish bleeding. Use a clean cloth or slightly damp paper towel, and apply firm pressure to the open wound for about 5 minutes. Then, remove the cloth or paper towel to check if it's still bleeding.  If it's bleeding is significant, do not proceed to any other steps and go to the hospital immediately.  If the bleeding is uncontrollable, or blood is gushing from the wound, call emergency services immediately, as this can be life threatening. If there is foreign material present in the injury, it is always important to see a doctor right away. This is because of the risk of infection, the need to assess if and how the object can be removed safely, as well as the possibility of needing stitches. Do not try to remove the object. Sometimes the object helps to stop the wound from bleeding excessively. If there is anything stuck in the wound, you should see a doctor in the emergency room immediately. These cuts pose a much higher risk of infection, you may need to be vaccinated for prevention, and receive antibiotics, so regardless of whether stitches are needed you should seek professional medical help. If the cut is on the face, the hands, the mouth, or the genitals it is important to be seen by a doctor, as you may need stitching for cosmetic reasons and proper healing.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trata de detener el sangrado lo mejor que puedas. Verifica si hay un objeto incrustado en el área de la herida. Acude a un doctor de inmediato si el corte ha sido causado por la mordida de un humano o animal. Considera el área de la lesión.


Elevated one-armed push-ups are a good way to start. The idea is that by using a raised surface, your legs take on more body weight and give you a mechanical advantage. The push-up is therefore easier to accomplish.  Try a countertop, steps, couch, or wall at home. If you are outdoors, a bench or bar will do. Keep in mind that the higher you angle your body, the more body weight your legs will support and the easier the push-up will be. Don’t overdo it. Find a surface and inclination that suit your current strength level and work from there. Besides inclination, your feet will also make a difference. Namely, the push-up will be easier if they are wider apart. Stand with your feet positioned a bit wider than your shoulders, and slowly lower yourself into push-up position on the elevated surface.  Some purists think that one-armed push-ups should be done with the feet together. You don’t need to follow this rule absolutely. You can also start wide and gradually move your feet inward as you progress. It’s a good idea to start with your “dominant” arm. In other words, whichever arm you favor and that is naturally stronger. You can alternate arms, as well. As you get in a starting position, let your free arm rest behind your back or against one leg. Slowly and deliberately lower your body until your chest almost touches the elevated surface. Your supporting arm should be bent at an acute angle of less than 90 degrees. If you want, hold this position for a few seconds.  Some people advise keeping your whole body tense during the downward motion. This is supposed to help you explode upward. It will also keep your spine straight and reduce the risk of injury.  Keep your bent arm back and close to your body, not jutting out like a chicken wing. Flaring your elbow out can lead to shoulder and rotator cuff injuries.  Brace your abs and clench your gluteal muscles — that is, the muscles around your torso and bum. Push away from the incline and back to the starting position in a single, fluid motion. The body tension you...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca una superficie elevada. Inclínate hacia adelante con los pies separados. Baja tu cuerpo. Empuja hacia arriba. Repite el ejercicio y cambia de lado.


Elevating your legs helps to treat gout with the aid of gravity. This is because elevating your legs decreases inflammation and swelling and causes the fluid in the joints to return back to proper central circulation.  Elevation also helps uric acid to flow back into the blood stream, which prevents it from building up in the joints. When uric acid builds up in the joints it can crystallize, causing a hard lump. To elevate your legs correctly, your feet should be higher than heart-level .A 45-degree elevation will do. You can put 3 to 4 pillows at the end of the bed and allow both legs to rest. This can be done several times a day. A cold compress slows down blood circulation near the joints by narrowing the blood vessels. This reduces the inflammation causes by excess blood at the affected joints. A cold compress also help to numb any pain.  You can apply a cold compress by wrapping an ice pack in a clean cloth or towel and applying it to the affected joints for no longer than 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day. Be sure to allow the area to return to its normal temperature before applying the cold compress again. Do not use hot packs or hot compresses as this will only make joint inflammation worse. Heat dilates the blood vessels (vasodilation), causing a sudden rush of blood that leads to inflammation, swelling, and pain.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Eleva las piernas en un ángulo de 45 grados. Ponte una compresa fría en las articulaciones afectadas para aliviar el dolor.


Eliminate any distractions around you by finding a quiet spot at school, in the library, or at home. Turn off your cellphone or put it on mute. Switch off your wi-fi and opt for pen and paper if you tend to get distracted by games on your computer. Creating a quiet spot for writing will ensure you can focus on your rough draft. You may also make sure the room is set to an ideal temperature for sitting down and writing. You may also put on some classical or jazz music in the background to set the scene and bring a snack to your writing area so you have something to munch on as you write. It can be intimidating to try to come up with a great opening paragraph or a killer first line. Instead, start in the middle of the essay or story. Maybe you begin by tackling the body sections of your essay first or maybe you start with the moment of complication for your protagonist. Starting in the middle can make it easier to get words down on the page. You may also write the ending of the essay or story before you write the beginning. Many writing guides advise writing your introductory paragraph last, as you will then be able to create a great introduction based on the piece as a whole. A rough draft is not the time to try being perfect. Get messy during the rough draft process and be okay if you make mistakes or if the draft is not completely there yet. Write through clunky phrases and awkward sentences until you get into a flow. You can then address these issues once you have finished the rough draft. You should also try not to read over what you are writing as you get into the flow. Do not examine every word before moving on to the next word or edit as you go. Instead, focus on moving forward with the rough draft and getting your ideas down on the page. You should also try to get into the habit of always using the active voice in your writing, even in your rough drafts. Avoid passive voice, as passive voice can end up sounding bland and boring to your reader. Active voice allows you to be direct, clear, and concise in...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca un ambiente tranquilo y centrado para escribir. Empieza en el centro. No te preocupes por cometer errores. Emplea la voz activa. Revisa tu esquema si te quedas atorado. Vuelve a leer tu primer borrador y revísalo.


Eliminating sugar requires paying very close attention to what you buy at the grocery store since sugar is added to many types of food.  The nutrition fact panel will let you know how many grams of sugar is in each serving of your food.  However, this doesn't tell you if it's natural or added sugar. Be mindful when you shop!  You most likely expect to find added sugars in something like cookies, but you might be surprised to see it's also commonly added to savory foods like salad dressing, bread, and tomato sauce. Check labels carefully and avoid foods that contain sugar. Read the ingredient list to figure out if there's any added sugar to your foods.  Remember, some food will have sugar listed on the nutrition fact panel, but there is no added sugar to the products.  For example, plain yogurt or unsweetened applesauce both contain naturally occurring sugar. Added sugars include white sugar, brown sugar, beet sugar, cane sugar, molasses, agave syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, turbinado, honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, fruit juice concentrate and many more. Added sugars that are mixed with food to sweeten them and contain no nutritional value on their own. Naturally-occurring sugars in fruit and milk come with vitamins, minerals, and fiber making them much more nutritious.  Naturally-occurring sugars include fructose (found in fruit) and lactose (found in milk).  All fruit, fruit products (like unsweetened applesauce) and dairy products (like yogurt, milk or cottage cheese) contain varying amounts of naturally occurring sugars. You can make a variety of healthier swaps by substituting foods that contain natural sugar for added sugar.  When you're craving something sweet, go for naturally sweet items like fruit or yogurt. Sugar is commonly added to processed and packaged foods to improve the taste, texture, and shelf life.  Frozen food, packaged snacks, canned soup, sauces, salad dressings, and marinades often have added sugar. Try making some of these items from scratch if you can. Go for unsweetened and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lee siempre las etiquetas de los alimentos. Sustituye los azúcares agregados por los azúcares naturales. Evita los alimentos altamente procesados.


Elm leaves alternate along two sides of the stem. The leaf is oval in shape and comes to a point at the end. The edges of the leaf are jagged and the veins are prominent.  The base of the leaf is slightly asymmetrical. Many varieties of elm leaves are smooth on top and fuzzy on the bottom.  The leaves of an American elm are typically 10-15 centimeters (4-6 inches)  long. Leaves of the English Elm are usually ten centimeters (four inches) long and seven centimeters (two and a half inches) wide.  They sport 10 to 12 veins.  European White Elms have up to 17 veins on the front of the leaf and 14 on the bottom. The bark of an elm is rough and coarse, with intersecting ridges.  The color is a light grey to dark greyish-brown. The bark will be deeply furrowed.  The Siberian elm is an exception, and often has exfoliated bark that is green or orange in color. The bark on the European White Elm, unlike most other species, remains smooth even into maturity.  Cedar elms have lighter purplish-grey bark than most other varieties. Mature elms reach a height of about 35 meters (115 feet) with a trunk diameter of around 175 centimeters (68 inches). Depending on the species or cultivar, they can reach 9 to 18 meters (30-59 feet) in width.  Many American species of elm will actually become larger, with some growing to 39 meters (128 feet) in height and 37 meters (121 feet) in width. Elms will usually have a vase or fountain shape. Elm trees often have split or branching trunks. There might be two or more trunks branching up and away from the main trunk.  If you see a tree with a single, central vertical trunk, it is not an elm. Use the location of the tree to determine if it could be an elm.  Different varieties of elms grow in different places.  For instance, American elms are common in the eastern half of the United States, from the Rocky Mountains eastward.  They are less common west of the Rockies, though the can be found in California.  Siberian elms (also known as the Asiatic, Lacebark, or Chinese elm) are common in...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Examina las hojas del árbol. Observa la corteza. Revisa la altura y el ancho generales. Observa el tronco. Considera la ubicación del árbol.


Elmer’s glue works best, but any white “school” glue will do. Along with your glue, you’ll need a paintbrush and the nail polish of your choice. Also, you want a small paper plate or something else to pour your glue onto. Pour some glue onto your dish and dip your brush in it. Generously apply the glue around your nails, getting as close to the nail as possible. Paint the glue around the bottom, sides, and top of your nail. If you do happen to get it on your nails, simply use a paper towel to wipe it away before it dries. Go as wide as you deem necessary. If you’re typically a very messy painter, make a wide ring around your nail with glue. Examine your nails to make sure there isn’t any glue on your nails. If you’re sure there isn’t, give the glue 10-20 minutes to dry. When it has dried completely, you’ll see no more white around your nails because the glue turns clear when it dries. Be as messy as you wish around your nails. Don’t be afraid to get as close to the edge of your nails as possible; focus on painting your entire nail. The paint around your nails will land on the glue, which is exactly what you want. Don’t purposely make more of a mess than you normally would; you’ll just end up wasting nail polish. Give your nails sufficient time to dry. This takes anywhere from 2-15 minutes, depending on the polish that you chose. It is very important that you let your nails completely dry. Carefully begin peeling the glue off of your fingers. Do so slowly to be sure that you don’t pull off any polish from your nails along with the glue. Take notes on anywhere you could’ve been more careful with your glue so that you can focus on that area next time.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reúne los materiales. Aplica el pegamento en el contorno de las uñas. Deja que el pegamento se seque. Píntate las uñas. Deja que las uñas se sequen. Pela el pegamento.


Elton John’s Instagram account is @eltonjohn. He posts pretty frequently, which gives you lots of opportunities to write to him. You can comment on any one of his pictures. There’s a chance he might write back! Try to write comments that are unique. Everyone will say "You look great Elton!" Instead, focus on something specific. Try something like "That jacket looks like it came from my favorite shop! You don't shop at Jackets'R'Us, do you?" Elton John also has a Twitter account, and his handle is @eltonofficial. He tweets a little bit more than he posts on Instagram, so you’ll have more opportunities to communicate with him on Twitter than Instagram. Reply to any (or all) of his tweets and see if you get a response.  You can tweet a direct response, saying something like "I love this new charity work!" You can also retweet his tweet, and make a comment on that. Elton John has a lot of Twitter followers (635,000), so don’t be discouraged if you don’t hear from him right away. You don’t have to wait for Elton John to tweet to tweet him! Send your own tweet, tagging him in it by typing in his handle. This is basically the same as sending him a direct message. You can tweet at him when you're listening to one of your favorite songs of his. Say something like "Listening to the best - "Rocket Man." Is there anything better than Elton on a summer night?" Social media is a great way to share videos of yourself singing out there. Artists usually love a good cover, especially if it's a different interpretation than theirs. Record yourself singing his music and share it on YouTube, or send it to him in a tweet.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comenta sus fotos de Instagram. Responde a sus tuits. Envíale un tuit directamente. Comparte un video de ti cantando la música de Elton.


Email is often overlooked with the advent of social media, but the fact of the matter is that almost everyone still uses email on a daily basis. Creating a mailing list will help you connect with your most passionate readers. Use a newsletter to keep your subscribers up to date with happenings on your blog. Include quick summaries of your posts with links to the full article. A newsletter is a great way to keep less active readers engaged in your articles. Use email to send a blog post you're particularly proud of to friends, other bloggers, and the mainstream press. Avoid sending email updates for every post you make, but do this occasionally to increase your reach. If the post is especially good, other bloggers may link it in their posts, which can drive lots of traffic to your blog.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Crea una lista de correo. Envia un boletín informativo. Promueve tu blog.


Emailing yourself can be a quick and simple way to send one or two smaller-sized files to a different computer, for anything more try one of the other methods.

Emblems or badges can be attached to your vehicle in a few ways.  Most emblems are held in place by using a strong adhesive, but some are secured from the inside via a hole in the body of the vehicle.  If there is a hole, you will need to have the hole filled by a professional mechanic, then have the entire area of the vehicle repainted.  Try referring to the service manual for your specific year, make and model vehicle to see how the emblems are replaced to see how they are fastened. You can also try using an internet search for your specific car, followed by “shave emblems” or “remove badges” to see pictures of other people removing theirs so see how they are secured. If the emblems are not secured with adhesive, you will need a professional body shop to remove them. To soften the glue securing the emblem to the vehicle, try pouring hot water directly onto the body of the car just above the emblem itself.  The water does not need to be boiling, but should be as hot as possible without risking burning yourself.  Microwave a bowl of water for a minute, then pour it onto the body of the car above the badge. Pour the water above the emblem so it runs along the body and into the glue behind the emblem. Instead of hot water, you can also try using an adhesive remover.  Spray the adhesive remover onto the body of the car just above the emblem, then spray it around the rest of the edges of the emblem to soften the adhesive on all sides.  Adhesive remover can damage the clear coat on the paint, so avoid spraying it too liberally around the vehicle. Leave the adhesive remover on as you remove the emblems to help eat away at the adhesives. You can also loosen the grip of the adhesive by warming it up using a hair dryer.  Plug the hair dryer in and set it to the hottest setting.  Point the hair dryer directly at the badge and sweep it back and forth along the length of the badge if it’s longer than the nose of the hair dryer.  Keep the hair dryer on the emblem for a few minutes, or until the adhesive begins to get...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Averigua cómo están fijados los emblemas al vehículo. Usa agua caliente para ablandar el adhesivo. Rocía removedor de adhesivos sobre el pegamento. Usa un secador de pelo para calentar el pegamento.


Embossing doesn’t work on pre-treated clothing or accessories. You can use a charm or purchase a leather stamp in the design of your choice online. You can order custom leather stamps through sellers on Etsy. If you use a metal charm, make sure it has cut edges, rather than a tapered design. It will make your shape appear more pronounced in the leather. The front side should be facing up. It must be near the edge of a table on which you can hook a strong C-clamp. You don’t want it to be sopping wet, so squeeze it out several times. Move the leather so that it can fit under the clamp.  Crank the clamp until it is clamped as far as it will go. Seal the leather with leather finish, if you want to improve the durability of the design and surface of the leather. Leather finish should be applied after all embossing is complete. It should also be done before you sew or complete assembly on a leather project.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra cuero no acabado en una tienda de manualidades. Busca un metal con forma resistente o un sello de metal para cuero. Extiende el pedazo de cuero en una mesa de trabajo. Humedece una esponja. Pasa la esponja sobre el cuero de forma pareja una sola vez. Coloca el sello u objeto de metal en la parte en donde quieres que se repuje el diseño. Coloca la perilla superior de la prensa en el centro del objeto de metal. Retira la prensa luego de 20 minutos.


Embrace this age of social media and let everyone into your life. Run a blog or website that is all you. It doesn’t matter if it’s not your first priority, or even your second priority, but it gives people a place to develop a stronger connection with you. . Try to build relationships with as many people as possible. Constantly be figuring out what you can do for other people and what they can do for you. Make lots of friends and make sure those friends are diverse people who are really doing things. The next time you need an expert or help on a project, you'll have someone you can call. You should also really get to know people: learn their real or full names and remember details about them. This changes how people see you (into someone who is friendly, earnest, and cares) and leaves a strong impression on the people who interact with you. The ones who you know best and who feel most connected to you will talk about you to others - this is how your personal brand grows stronger. Look for people with an audience that you want to reach, the movers and the shakers, the big names. You want to get in their inner circle. Comment on their writing, keep track of them on social media, help them when they ask for it, if they have a blog try to guest-post (it must be your best stuff!). Not only do you have plenty to learn from people like this, but they are also the people who can give you that killer testimonial when you launch your product, who can tweet your links to thousands of followers, who can share the best opportunities with you. That being said, don’t pester them and don’t ask for more favors than you give them. If you are useful and not overbearing these influencers will remember you. View this as a long-term process. You can’t expect to become friends with influencers in a week. It takes months. Try to use non-intrusive forms of communication. Don’t write things that require a response in blog comments; that's what email/Twitter is for. If you only have the time to answer 1/4 of the emails you get, why not...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comunícate con las personas abierta y constantemente. Construye siempre una red social. Encuentra a tus aliados. Comunícate incluso cuando no puedas. Deja que las personas te vean.


Eminem's personality was marked by the fact he was rebellious and followed his own course. Try to be an individual and avoid obsessing over what other people think.  Remember, a lot of your fear of judgment is in your head. People are taught to seek acceptance from the time they're very young. However, most people worry about themselves far more than they worry about you. You do not have control over what other people think of you. Also, you can never know for sure. Keep reminding yourself other people's opinions are not of your concern. Eminem was also known to intensely follow his passions. If you want to be like Eminem, channel your energy into what's important to you.  What matters to you personally? Do you want to be a writer? A singer? An actress? Pursue that dream with passion. This can also help you forget what others think. Do not focus on your insecurities. Instead, focus on your passions. Eminem was an independent thinker, so questioning authority should be part of your attitude. Do not take anything at face value. Investigate claims yourself.  Adopt your own opinions on issues. When you hear something on the news, for example, do some research yourself before deciding how you feel. Learn to question what you are told. If someone tells you a behavior is "wrong," ask why. Try to figure out where societal stigmas came from, and when and where it's appropriate to rebel against the norm. There are a lot of references to comic books in Eminem's raps. If you want to act like Eminem, start reading comics. A shared interest with the rapper can help you take on his style. Eminem is a particularly big fan of Marvel comics. You should stop by a local comic book store and pick up some Marvel comic books. You should also look into buying anthologies that explain the history and origins of characters.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No te preocupes por lo que otros piensen. Sigue tus pasiones. Cuestiona lo que se te ha enseñado. Lee cómics.

Emotional abuse usually contains verbal abuse, where the abuser systematically lowers your self-esteem by calling you names, picks on every single thing you do, doesn’t show any trust, acts like you a possession, threatens you, and uses your children against you or threatens to hurt them, among other behaviors. Oftentimes, emotional abuse comes in the form of double-edged comments. An abuser might say, “I love you but…” For example, they might say, “I love you, but if you don’t spend every weekend with me, I’ll think that you don’t love me.” With this type of comment, the abuser makes their love contingent on you acting a particular way. If your partner is constantly putting you down and making you feel inadequate, you may be experiencing emotional abuse. An emotional abuser may try to make you feel certain ways, with the intention of controlling you. This manipulation might be:  Humiliating or embarrassing you. Making you feel guilty. Making you feel like things are your fault. An abuser may use threats to try controlling your actions and behavior. Listen for threats made against you. An abuser may also try to threaten to use your children against you or threaten to hurt them. Threats can also include statements like, “I’ll kill myself if you ever leave me.” Social isolation is a form of emotional abuse that an abuser may use to control how you feel and what you do. Social isolation may take one or more of the following forms:  Preventing you from spending time with friends or family. Acting jealous and suspicious of your friends. Restricting your use of the car or phone. Making you stay at home. Demanding to know where you’re at all the time. Preventing you from working or going to school. Preventing you from seeking medical care.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reconoce lo que es el abuso emocional. Presta atención a las críticas. Determina si la persona manipula la forma como te sientes. Presta atención a las amenazas. Determina si te sientes socialmente aislada.


Emotional detachment can be associated with many different conditions where emotional detachment is not intentional. These conditions include brain injury, childhood trauma and attachment disorders, psychopathy, PTSD, and personality disorders such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder (lack of empathy).  Emotional detachment in certain trauma related disorders may be an adaptive protective mechanism, but that is not the same as intentional emotional detachment.  In some cases of depression, apathy is similar to emotional detachment and is often a symptom of depression. Even anxiety can produce a form of mental detachment called derealization and depersonalization. While detaching yourself can sometimes be helpful in difficult situations, it is not healthy to ignore your emotions all of the time. If you find that you often feel or want to feel emotionally unattached, then there may be a problem. Remember that emotional detachment is not healthy. Not wanting or not allowing yourself to feel emotions will interfere with your relationships with people and may even cause trouble for you in school or at work. If you are having trouble feeling emotions or if you find yourself not wanting to feel emotions, you should talk to a trusted friend or family member. Letting someone know how you have been feeling may help to relieve some of the negative emotions that are causing you to want to be detached. Whether intentional or involuntary, emotional detachment is not healthy. If you struggle to deal with your emotions in certain situations, there are people who can help you. You can talk to your school counselor, a licensed mental health professional, or even your doctor for help. If you have recently gone through a traumatic life event such as a divorce or a painful break-up, then you may want to consider seeing a therapist who specializes in these types of cases.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aprende sobre la falta de emociones. Considera si las emociones interfieren con tu vida. Habla con tu familia y con tus amigos sobre cómo te has sentido. Conoce tus opciones de ayuda.


Emotional intimacy means being honest with your thoughts and feelings, even when they’re uncomfortable. Be willing to share your needs, hopes, and fears with your partner. While opening up can be scary, a good partner will be supportive and try to understand you better.  Being open about yourself can help you and your partner learn from each other and support each other in a new and deeper way. For example, tell your partner about your dream to become a pastry chef or get a graduate degree. . Struggling with trust in a relationship can lead to conflicts and insecurities, especially if you don’t feel like you can be physically and emotionally open with your partner. Prioritize honesty in your relationship. Practice saying what you mean and meaning what you say. Show that you can be there for your partner and notice that they can be there for you, too. Respect each other’s boundaries physically, emotionally, and socially. For example, if your partner values privacy, don’t share intimate details of your relationship with people who know them. If you agree to keep something private, keep it private. A solid partnership includes two people who not only hear each other, but listen to each other. Turn toward each while speaking. Put down your phones and switch off the television. Pay attention to what your partner says in a non-judgmental way and give supportive feedback. You should also feel like your partner listens to you. You can build intimacy by knowing you can say what’s on your heart and not feel criticized for your words. Get to know your partner’s inner life. Asking questions can help each of you to open up and think about what has impacted you, what drives you, and how you relate to each other. Ask questions that encourage intimacy and sharing. Focus on asking open-ended questions so that you can elaborate on answers and build some discussion.  Ask questions like “If you could choose to be anyone, real or fictional, who would you choose to be and why?” and, “What would you say to your younger self, if you...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Deberás estar dispuesto a sentirte vulnerable y expresar tus sentimientos. Desarrollen la confianza juntos. Escúchala con total atención cuando hable. Haz preguntas personales. Pídele ayuda.


Emotional self-reliance means that you can process your own emotions and do not require others to validate your experience and feelings for you. Learning to process feelings and emotions on your own means learning how to be introspective and look for less obvious reasons for feelings rather than taking things at face value.  This process can lead to insight about the root of your feelings and ways to you can begin to avoid negative feelings. Ways to learn how to be more introspective and thoughtful include professional therapy, self-help books, and certain religious teachings (e.g., buddhist teaching on identity and the ways that it can contribute to suffering). If you already feel emotionally self-reliant in your relationship, you should seek to keep that feeling, even in the face of a major change, such as expecting a new child. Often people respond to hurt feelings by engaging others to help them process the experience and to avoid talking with the person that hurt them directly.  The psychologist Murray Bowen calls these situations “triangles.” If there is something weighing on your relationship, express your anxieties and share experiences without allowing other people to heighten your anxiety, make your anxiety chronic, or trying to solve the problem for you.  Put another way, people should act as resources to one another, but should not make the situation worse, and should not replace an individual’s own thinking. When two or more people have a shared responsibility, individuals must be self-reliant by meeting their individual responsibilities in a fair way.   People must also be able to meet individual responsibilities without neglecting shared responsibilities. Each person in a relationship must remain confident of the loyalty and commitment of the other people, as well as their ability to meet their responsibilities. For example, if a couple has a baby, they will have shared responsibilities as parents and individual responsibilities as a worker or primary caregiver. If one person stays at home to...

Empathizing with the child can help them feel calmer, because it shows them that you understand and care about their feelings. "I know it's not fun to have to be done playing. I promise your toys will be ready for you in the morning." "It must be scary to feel worried that a monster is under your bed." "I'm sorry to hear that you've been having nightmares. I get nightmares too sometimes, and they're no fun. When I wake up, I remind myself that it wasn't real and I am safe." While toddlers' ability to understand logic is limited, sometimes hearing your explanation is good enough for them. Try explaining the rules or how reality works, and see if they accept it.  "We need to go to bed each night to help us stay healthy. Sleeping helps us have lots of energy for the morning so that we can have fun playing." "When I was your age, I worried that monsters were in my closet. And you know what? They never came. I was always safe, and I grew up into a big strong adult. I have never, ever heard of a monster hurting a child in real life." "We have a safety plan for tornadoes. If it happened, we would go to the basement and wait there, where it's safe. The sirens would warn us, so we would have enough time to grab our things and make sure everybody was safe. You don't need to worry about it, because we already have a plan. And there are no sirens, so that means no tornadoes are coming tonight." "I'm sorry I read you that story. I didn't realize it would scare you. I want to make sure you know that it's a story, and someone made it up. Made-up things aren't real, and they can't hurt you, even if you feel scared." "There are no volcanoes here. Scientists are very smart and good at finding volcanoes, and they found zero volcanoes here. The only volcanoes are far away, so far that they can't hurt us." When your child is having a crying spell, sometimes all they need is a little affection. Pick them up and hug them for a few moments until they are calmer. Even though you might be fed up with their tantrums at bedtime, this...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz el intento de validar sus sentimientos. Haz el intento de explicarle las cosas a tu hijo. Dale un poco de amor. No emplees la técnica de "dejar que llore". Regrésalo a la cama cada vez que se levante. No te enojes ni te descoloques.


Empathy is one of the most important skills for a child to build. Empathy marks social maturity as it requires putting oneself in another person's shoes, which is often a difficult thing for a young child to do. Throughout your day-to-day life, look for opportunities to teach your child about empathy.  Encourage your child to consider things from another person's perspective. When something happens, ask your child how he or she would feel about that. For example, say you see a man miss the bus on his way to work. Say to your child, "That man missed the bus. How do you think he feels? How would you feel if that happened to you?" You can also ask your child to put him or herself in a character's shoes while watching television, movies, or while reading. Encourage him or her to stop and think how a character feels. If a character is behaving in a negative way, ask your child why a person may behave poorly. Basic manners are important to social maturity. As your child grows up, teach him or her manners. What manners a child should learn varies by age.  For young children, between 2 and 3, encourage them to greet others by saying "Hi." When leaving, tell them to say "Bye." Also, encourage eye contact and smiling when appropriate. Children between the ages of 3 and 4 should be able to take turns during games and start initiating conversation with others. Between the ages of 4 and 5, children should be able to express needs by saying things like "Stop!" or "No!" Between the ages of 5 and 6, you can teach your kids to say "Please" and "Thank you" and discourage them from using foul language. Children can often use social skills via playing. You can teach kids about manners, cooperation, and other vital life skills by allowing them to learn via play.  Teach kids how to take turns by playing simple games that require turn-taking. You can also play games with simple instructions, or games that require teamwork. Teach children to share. Encourage your kids to share with other children during games. If you have multiple...

Employers often end up employing immigrants illegally because they haven’t checked the employee’s immigration status. In other situations, the employer is in on the fraud. You should look for common signs of fraud:  The employer doesn’t use E-Verify. This is a free online system that allows any employer to enter certain information and check the legal status of the employee. Currently, only some states require its use. If an employer is not using the program, then it might be employing workers illegally. You shouldn’t report an employer solely for failing to use E-Verify. However, you should look for other signs of illegal employment. Employees use the same Social Security Number. Often, workers in the country illegally steal or buy Social Security Numbers to use. If two or more employees have the same number, then they are likely working illegally. The company employs a high number of temporary immigrant workers. It is certainly legal to hire temporary employees, and an employer can get visas for certain temporary workers. However, the employer might have been careless or deceptive when applying for the visas. You should get as much helpful information as possible about the illegal employment of undocumented workers. In particular, gather the following before reaching out to the government:  company name company location nationalities of the undocumented workers any employee Social Security Numbers (if known) The federal government is charged with investigating the employment of undocumented workers. You can report an employer by calling ICE at 1-866-347-2423. You may report anonymously. If you don’t want to call, then you can report using an online tip form. You only need to report suspected violations once. Accordingly, if you already called ICE, then you don’t need to report online.  On the tips form, you can check “Employment/Exploitation of Unlawful Workers” under the Suspected Violation heading. You are given up to 2500 characters to provide helpful information about the violation. At the bottom of the...

Employers often talk about taking pride in your work, but a service worker's work isn't all that exciting, per se. Instead, take pride in your own ability to do that work. Start being impressed with how well you manage during each shift. There's no better way to encourage yourself to do even better than to let yourself believe that you're capable of doing better. In lower-level service jobs especially, you may not be treated as though you have much personal ability, but that's simply not the case. It takes poise, perseverance, and social skills to handle customers, even at a fast food drive-through window. The best way to handle customers is to never give them a chance to dislike you. A big part of that is making a positive physical impression on them. Dress neatly, in clean clothes. Bathe regularly, and brush your teeth and use deodorant every day. Walk with an easy stride, make eye contact, and speak in a loud, clear, relaxed voice. Your customers will feel as though they're in the hands of a professional right away, discouraging any urge to nitpick the rest of your performance. If you sweat a lot or have any other condition that might make you smell or look less than your best after a few hours on the clock, see if there's any way to bring some emergency hygiene supplies to work and pop out for five minutes partway through your shift to replenish. If you're really leaving your own worries, fears, annoyances, and insecurities at home each day, it's an easy next step to teach yourself to smile and be genuinely glad to greet every new customer. Don't be self-conscious – let your face open into the biggest, sunniest smile you've got every time you greet someone at work (even if it's over the phone, since a real smile comes through in your voice, too). You might be surprised just how much of a difference it makes in the way customers treat you.  Don't forget to smile at your coworkers and, yes, even your bosses. It costs nothing except a little self-consciousness, and it will reduce your workplace stress...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Siéntete orgulloso de tu capacidad. Muestra tu mejor versión. Comienza con una sonrisa. Deja tus problemas en tu casa. No tomes las cosas personalmente. Tómate a tus clientes en serio. Sé humilde. No apures a tus clientes.


Employers tend to be busy, and will likely answer with a polite “no” if you ask them to write a letter only a couple of days before it’s due. Ask your boss for a letter of recommendation at least two or three months in advance, so that they’ll have enough time to reflect on your work and can write a thoughtful letter that isn’t rushed. If you’ll be leaving the company to seek further employment, and would like a letter of recommendation from your boss, consider asking up to six months in advance. This will give your boss enough time to look for a suitable replacement. Even if you’re asking for a letter of recommendation well in advance, it would be unwise to present your question to your boss when there’s a looming deadline, or in the middle of an office crisis. Time your request so that you’re asking during a period of relative calm. For example, if you’re in the middle of a project, wait until you’ve completed the work. Then, when asking your boss for the letter, mention the hard work that you put into the project. Ask your supervisor if they have time to meet with you face-to-face during the next week or two. Let your boss pick the time and date, and if your boss is curious as to why you’re asking to meet, you can say something brief, like “I’d like to ask you for a professional favor.” It’s always wise to ask for a letter of recommendation in person; asking via email can seem impersonal or distant. That said, if you or your boss are traveling for a long period of time, or if the letter is time-sensitive, you can ask via email if necessary.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pregunta con mucha anticipación. Haz tu solicitud en el momento oportuno. Pide reunirte en persona.


Empty out your flask if there is any liquid in it. Load the flask about a quarter of the way full with ice. It’s best if the ice is crushed or in smaller, irregularly shaped pieces, though normal cubes will also work. The exact amount of ice you use will depend on the size of your flask.  The type of bagged ice you can buy at the grocery store is perfect for this task. If you only have access to large, smooth or rounded ice cubes, you can break them up into a more effective size yourself by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them or throwing them in a food processor. Sprinkle 2-3 heaping spoonfuls of salt over the ice. For the purpose of cleaning, salt of a larger grain, such as coarse-ground kosher salt or sea salt, will get the most done. Add the salt to the flask quickly so that the ice you put inside doesn’t have a chance to melt.  Use an extra half tablespoon (about 7ml) of salt if its a finer grain. Ice that melts in the flask may dissolve the salt, making it less useful for cleaning. Place the lid on the flask and make sure it’s secure. Shake the flask vigorously. As the hard ice and jagged salt granules move around inside the flask, they’ll scrape away whatever stains and grime have accumulate on the insulated metal. Shake for as long as you want, until you feel confident that the ice and salt have done their job.  The salt and ice combination will essentially act as an “exfoliant” for the walls of the flask. Don’t worry about damaging the metal that your flask is made of. They’re designed to withstand extreme temperatures, mild impacts from being dropped and general wear and tear. Take the lid off the flask and pour out the ice-salt mixture. Run some warm water into the flask and swirl it around to remove any lingering remnants. Rinse the mouth of the flask as well, and leave the lid off as it dries. Using ice and salt to wear down stains is a safe, natural solution. Both ingredients are non-toxic and don’t contain chemicals that may be harmful if ingested.

TL;DR in Spanish:


En passant, meaning "in passing" in French, is when one pawn captures another pawn after its starting move. You can only do en passant if your opponent has moved a pawn 2 squares forward from its starting position so it’s next to one of your pawns. If this happens, you may move your pawn into the space behind your opponent’s pawn to capture it. You can only perform an en passant move during the turn after your opponent moves the pawn. You cannot wait to do it on any other turn after. If you move a pawn to the back row on your opponent’s side of the board, it immediately gets promoted to a queen or to any piece. It doesn’t matter if your queen has already been captured when you promote your pawn. Thus, you could have multiple queens on the board at a time.  To indicate pawn promotion in chess notation, write the square where the pawn is promoted. Then write an equals sign followed by a Q to symbolize it’s now a queen. For example, you may write c8=Q. Even though a pawn can theoretically be promoted to any piece, the only situation where you would not want to promote your pawn to a queen is if doing so results in a stalemate, causing the game to end in a draw. Once during the game, you may choose to make a special move known as castling. To castle, move your king two squares horizontally toward either rook. Then on the same move, move the rook to the square immediately on the other side of the king. You cannot castle if your king was in check during the previous move, or if it would be in check after the move. You also cannot castle through any squares that are under attack by enemy pieces.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Captura a los peones usando la regla de "en passant". Asciende un peón a reina haciéndolo cruzar a través del tablero. Protege a tu rey por medio del enroque.


Encase your mattress, box spring and pillows in dust-proof, allergen-proof covers available from specialty supply mail order companies, bedding and some department stores. Made of tightly-woven fabric, allergen-proof covers prevent dust mites from colonizing or escaping. You are closest to the mites and their feces in your bed, so enclosing your mattress and pillows in a dust mite cover pretty much eliminates the mite problem there. Mattresses covered in fitted sheets are protected from the accumulation of human skin scales on the surface.  These sheets are usually also waterproof. Replace down pillows with synthetic-filled ones. Also, replace woolen blankets with nylon or cotton cellulose ones. Memory foam mattresses are supposed to create an environment that is unfavorable to dust mites. You might consider replacing your mattress with memory foam. Carpet is a haven for dust mites, especially if it sits on concrete, which holds moisture and provides a humid environment for dust mites.  Remove wall-to-wall carpeting to help with dust mite allergies, especially in bedrooms. Replace with bare floors, such as linoleum, tile, vinyl, wood or anti-allergenic carpet.  Also, remove furnishings that collect dust, such as fabric curtains, horizontal blinds and upholstered furniture. Don't forget to remove all rugs and mats from the home as they too harbor dust mites. Bare floors can be damp-mopped or cleaned with electrostatic cloths. Tannic acid neutralizes the allergens from dust mites naturally. Tannic acid powder can be purchased from health food stores and other specialist providers. Sprinkle it liberally over mattresses, couches, pet beds and other dust mite havens to help reduce the impact of allergens. You can also make your own solution of tannic acid by adding one cup of weak tea to a gallon of water, spraying carpets and vacuuming 3 hours later. Minimize your child's stuffed toys to one or two favorites.  Get plastic toys or washable stuffed toys instead. If you choose washable stuffed toys, wash them often...

Encourage anyone who wants to attend the World Cup with you to do so as well. You will need a valid passport number in order to apply for tickets. In some cases, you can apply for more than one ticket; however, you will need to enter information about the other ticket holders. You can use a credit or debit card, as well as some forms of online secured payments. You can apply for four tickets per household at once. You can apply for seven matches, as long as they are on different match days.  This means you should always choose one match per day to apply for. If you don't receive tickets for a certain match day, you can always apply during a later application period for a different match. Since millions of people apply for the tickets, it is a good idea to have 15 to 20 matches listed in order of priority. You can't choose the exact seats you would get; however, you apply for categories according to price and proximity to the pitch.  Apply for category one to sit in the prime areas of the stadium. They are along the length of the pitch on either side. Prices are between $175 and $1,000 per match, increasing in price according to the tournament stage. Apply for category two to find a less expensive ticket in the corners of the stadium. Tickets are approximately $135 to $650, increasing in price according to the tournament stage. Apply for category three for a lower cost ticket behind the goals. Ticket prices are between $90 and $450 per match. Disabled access tickets are also at this price point. Apply for a category four only if you are a Brazilian resident. These are sections behind the goal and in the upper section of the stadium. Brazilian residents over the age of 60, students and welfare recipients will be able to apply for half price tickets.

Encourage your hair to grow long by applying a hair mask once or twice a week. Make your own natural oil mask or purchase over-the-counter hair masks at your local drug store. To make a hair mask at home, combine 1 cup coconut oil with 1 tablespoon macadamia oil, almond oil, and jojoba oil. Massage the mask into damp hair and let it sit for ten minutes. Then, shampoo and condition your hair to remove the mask. Castor oil is a natural substance that can encourage hair growth. Applying a castor oil hair mask can lead to hair that grows longer and healthier.  Begin by massaging your scalp with 1 cup of castor oil. Allow the oil to fall from your scalp onto the strands of your hair. Once your scalp and hair are covered, use a plastic shower cap on your head to keep the oil in place. Spread a towel on your pillowcase before you go to sleep so you do not get oil all over your pillow. Let the oil sit on your scalp and hair overnight. Wash and condition your hair the following morning to remove the oil. A hot oil massage can help to breakdown any oil or dirt on your scalp and stimulate hair growth from the roots of your hair. Use natural oils like coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, and argan oil.  Heat the oil by placing the bottle or tube in a bowl of warm water. Make sure you test the oil before you apply it to make sure it isn't too hot. It should be at a comfortable temperature that is not burning to the touch and will not damage your scalp or your hair. Use your fingers to gently massage your scalp with the warm oil in slow, circular motions. You can do this after you have taken a shower. You can also ask a friend or partner to massage your scalp for you. Make sure you massage the oil in your scalp for fifteen to twenty minutes. After fifteen to twenty minutes, shampoo your hair well to remove the oil. To limit shampooing, it's a good idea to do your oil treatment on the same days you already plan to wash your hair.

Ending a friendship can have a major impact on your life (and theirs), so don’t make a rash decision when you are angry. Instead, take a quiet moment to sit down and list the reasons you are friends with this person, and then list the things that you don't like about the friendship anymore. This will give you some insight on whether or not the friendship can be saved, or if you should end things.  Clearly defining the reasons you want to end the relationship will help you feel confident in your decision and communicate clearly with your friend. It will help you experience closure, a sense that you did what was best for your wellbeing.  Remember that growing apart from people is okay and natural—it doesn’t make either of you bad people. A simple misunderstanding may be the cause of the conflict; your friend might not even know that she’s done something to upset you. It’s also possible you both have just changed and don’t have much of a connection anymore—if you became friends in kindergarten and now you’re teenagers, you may have grown to like and value different things, and not be the most compatible people anymore.  Are you considering ending the friendship because she forgot to come to your big track meet or because she said something rude about your boyfriend? Unless this is part of a larger pattern of behavior, letting her know she hurt you may be enough to fix your friendship. If you feel bored by the friendship or dread spending time with her, it may mean your connection has faded.  If you find you have little in common—you struggle to find things to do together or even things to talk about—then the friendship may have simply run its course.  Is she a compassionate, thoughtful friend who sometimes flakes on your plans or is always late?  Think about whether or not your issues are things you can address with her to save the friendship.  Is your friend is socially anxious, shy or inept? Do you perhaps see a pathway for being someone who can guide your friend through these troubles? A toxic friendship is...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Piensa si realmente quieres o no sacar a esta persona de tu vida. Considera si quieres terminar la amistad por algo que se puede resolver o si es por un gran cambio de personalidades. Busca indicios que indiquen que es una amistad tóxica. Dale la oportunidad de cambiar.


Endometriosis is a painful condition that results when endometrium tissue (the tissue that normally lines the uterus) is found outside of the uterus and causes pain every month during your period. This happens because the tissue responds to the menstrual cycle the same way as when it is in the uterus and builds up, breaks down and sheds; however, because this tissue is not in the uterus, it has no way to leave the body and the excess build up causes inflammation, scar tissue and severe pain. Pain medications and hormonal treatments may not be enough to control the pain from endometriosis. This is because it is typically a condition that requires more extensive medical evaluation and intervention.  If you suspect you may have endometriosis, the first step is to book an appointment with your doctor who can set you up for the necessary tests. The only way to confirm (and to treat) endometriosis is via laparoscopic surgery. You will have a daytime surgery (of less than an hour duration) where an OB/GYN medical specialist will insert a camera through some small openings in your abdomen to check for the presence of uterine tissue outside of the uterus. If any uterine tissue is found in the abdominal cavity, the surgeon can perform "ablation," meaning getting rid of the tissue that is not supposed to be there. Following this procedure, your menstrual pain should be greatly diminished (if not eliminated altogether). It is important to treat endometriosis if you suspect you may have it because, if present for a long time, it can lead to complications such as chronic pelvic pain or troubles with fertility. Speak to your doctor for further information if you suspect this may apply to you. If you are an older woman who is no longer seeking to become pregnant, another way to handle painful menstrual cramps is through a surgical procedure called endometrial ablation. What this means is that a device is inserted through your vagina into your uterus, and the menstrual tissue lining the uterine wall is "burned off," or...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Engage 1st and start slowly releasing the clutch pedal without applying any throttle. The engine should gradually fade out and bog down when the pedal is completely released. If the engine just bogs down at some point, or the fading is not gradual, the clutch is damaged. If the gearbox grinds when you try to shift in first from a standstill, there's a damage in the clutch too. If the engine doesn't die, it shows a complete clutch failure. In that case, do not drive this vehicle. Start from first, and slowly accelerate from second. As you do this use late-shifting, i.e. slightly over-rev the engine (approx. 500-1000 RPM faster than the revs you'd normally shift at). Up-shift to second without using double-clutching. Repeat the same procedure when shifting into 3rd. Now, with your car running at approximately 50 km/h (25 mph) try down-shifting to second without double-clutching. Both the up-shifting and the down-shifting must be done without grinding. Grinding of the gears indicates a gearbox malfunction, most likely in the sync gears ("synchronizers"). To make sure it's the synchronizers, try up-shifting and down-shifting with double-clutching. If the grinding stops, then it's the synchronization.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Estaciona tu vehículo con las ruedas delanteras tocando el bordillo. Intenta arrancar en tercera con las llantas pegadas al bordillo de la acera y sin acelerar. Encuentra un camino recto y parejo para probar el auto.


Engaging in a romantic conversation in person requires confidence in yourself and confidence in your relationship.  You want to let your partner know how you feel, and you want to give your partner a chance to do the same.  As you start the romantic conversation, it is important to be open and secure.  If you start the conversation but restrain yourself too much, your partner will pick up on your discomfort and may be put off.  Avoid aggressive body language like crossed arms or lots of hand gestures. Try to keep your body language loose and welcoming by keeping your arms at your sides and facing your partner. Smile at your partner to show that you are having a good time. While being romantic with your partner, you want to be sure that your body language and your words are conveying the message.  Even if you say the most romantic thing in the world, your partner will not feel romanced if you're saying it while looking at the menu.  Make sure you are giving your partner all of your attention during the conversation.  Don't look around the room or fidget, as this comes across as uncomfortable or uninterested. Making eye contact with your partner is one of the best ways to enhance your intimacy and connect with each other without saying a word. Make sure that you maintain eye contact whenever your partner is speaking to you as well as while you are speaking to him or her. Touch is an important factor in enhancing romance between two people as well. Make sure that you and your partner engage in some physical contact during your conversation. For example, you can hold your partner's hand or just lightly stroke the back of your partner's arm while he or she is talking.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Demuestra la confianza que tienes. Dale a tu pareja tu completa atención. Haz contacto visual. Tómense de las manos o haz contacto físico con tu pareja de vez en cuando.


Engine assemblies vary drastically from make to make and model to model, so it's impossible to offer a generalized guide for installing every camshaft. For this reason, it's important to invest in a Haynes guide,  or another official user's manual with rebuild schematics specific to your make and model. It's possible to seriously damage your engine and wreck the timing if you don't use a detailed manual for this job. Read on only for a general description of the steps of the process. To access the crankshaft compartment, you may have to pull the entire engine, depending on the type of engine and the make of the vehicle. Overhead Camshaft (OHC) engines are much easier to access than Overhead Valve (OHV) type engines, with the camshaft centered in an engine block.  Most American-made V8 and V6 engines use in-block camshafts, which means you may have to pull the engine out to do the swap.  Many engines using overhead camshaft configuration actually have multiple camshafts, such as a Dual Overhead Camshaft (DOHC). If you have a DOHC engine which is also a "V" configuration it is possible to have as many as 4 camshafts. Removing the timing cover is one of the most difficult parts of an in-car installation, if you're going to attempt it without pulling the engine. The oil pan must be lowered enough to remove the timing cover while also clearing the crankshaft snout. With the cover off the engine, remove the three upper timing-chain bolts, along with the lower timing gear if a new timing chain is to be installed. This process will vary, depending on your make and model, but generally you'll have to start by disconnecting the battery lines, then removing the radiator cap and releasing the valve under the passenger's side to drain it. Once the coolant is drained and the accessories are out of the way, remove the intake-manifold bolts. A small hammer and chisel or flat-head screwdriver may be needed to pry the intake manifold from the engine block. Scrape the front and rear block rails clean of cork, silicone, oil, or...

Enjoy a diet that promotes consumption of whole foods like fruits, vegetables and lean protein. Some researchers suggest removing foods that have been processed and may have harmful substances added like artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and allergens like eggs, milk, and grains. One teacher recognized how periods of in-school activity reduced ADHD symptoms in her students. As a result, a study was conducted showing that regular physical activity - as little as a half hour each day - improved cognitive functioning, mood, and focus. Students also saw a decrease in the severity of ADHD symptoms. If you or your child have ADHD, try getting regular exercise, in virtually any form, to see if it helps. Even if the effects are minimal, people who work out regularly still report feeling better about themselves and healthier. Getting 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night for adults and even more for children is essential to mood stability, attention, and focus. One study showed that children with ADHD had higher rates of daytime sleepiness.Therefore, getting adequate sleep at night can help you or your child stay awake while at work or school. The best tactics to improve sleep quantity and quality lie in developing a regular and consistent sleep pattern. Create a relaxing bedroom environment, and move all other activities elsewhere. Avoid caffeine or alcohol in the evenings for better sleep, too. Both yoga and meditation promote relaxation and improve moods in people who engage in these activities. These practices place an emphasis on your breath and focusing on sensations within your body, rather than environmental stimuli. Try both or either to see if one helps an ADHD sufferer learn discipline and stress management. In addition to lifestyle changes, you can consult with a psychologist for non-pharmacological interventions that help alleviate ADHD symptoms.  Which interventions your mental health provider uses will depend largely on your unique medical/psychiatric history and symptom patterns. Plus, adults and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consume una dieta balanceada y saludable. Ejercítate. Mejora tus hábitos de sueño. Practica yoga o meditación. Acude a un profesional en caso de intervenciones relacionadas con el comportamiento. No pases por alto los medicamentos para tratar el TDAH.


Enjoy eating your honeydew melon over the next 3-5 days. After this time, the melon will begin to excrete its juices and soften. This often means that the melon is beginning to spoil. Alternatively, store your cut melon for 10 to 12 months in the freezer. Simply, place the melon in a sealed container or freezer bag before freezing it.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantenlo fresco almacenándolo en un recipiente en el refrigerador.


Enroll in an education program to receive a degree from an accredited college or university. Consider majoring in education and specializing in the age group you want to teach. Otherwise, look at a major related to the subject you wish to teach.  Spend at least 30 semester hours learning necessary educational content for Florida grade school teachers. Examples include learning the methods and content for teaching writing, science and math to elementary school students.  Meet regularly with an academic or career adviser to help you pick courses appropriate to your career goal and make sure you are on track to graduate. If you are pursuing an international degree, make sure your non-U.S. degree is the equivalent of a bachelor's degree from a U.S. university. Know that international degrees will be tailored to the educational systems for the country of origin, so there may be a learning curve upon arriving in Florida.  Get a report from a credential evaluation agency approved by Florida's Bureau of Educator Certification or an accredited 4-year U.S. college or university to determine if your international degree is eligible. Have your current transcripts ready for review, as well as an educational plan including any future courses you plan to take and any research you intend to do in childhood education while still in school. Once you obtain your international degree, have a copy of your non-U.S. college or university's diploma verified to be true by a notary public or a certification officer in one of Florida's school district offices. Each page of your diploma should say, "I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT" and be signed and sealed by a notary or signed by the certification officer. The programs  are suitable for new teachers, recent college graduates or those changing careers who need professional teaching preparation and experience.  Alternative certification programs must be initially and continually approved by the state. These programs use student performance...

Ensure that the burners have had time to cool completely before beginning this project. Gently pull the burners straight out from the connection point then lift them away. Refer to your appliance manual if you have difficulty. Put a small amount of dish soap on a dishcloth and wet it. Wring out the excess water, then use the cloth to wipe the burners. Avoid getting any part of the electrical connection wet, and never submerge the burners in water! Make a paste from equal parts baking soda and water. Apply it to tough or stubborn stains on the burner. Allow it to soak for up to 20 minutes, then scrub the burner with a damp sponge. Use a clean, damp dishcloth to remove the soap residue and any food or crumbs from each burner. Let the burners air dry or use a microfiber towel to dry them. Reconnect each burner to the appropriate connection point and set them back onto the stove.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Retira las hornillas de la estufa. Usa un trapo húmedo con jabón para limpiar las hornillas. Limpia las manchas difíciles con una mezcla de bicarbonato y agua. Enjuaga cada hornilla con un paño húmedo. Deja secar por completo las hornillas antes de volver a colocarlas.


Ensure that the mortar has had at least 7 days to dry before trying to remove the dried on mortar. Saturating the wall with water before you chisel will make removing the mortar easier and can protect your bricks from being damaged. Fully saturate the brick before you start working with a garden hose or with buckets of water. Hold the chisel at a 20° to 30° angle against the face of your wall on areas that have built-up mortar. Lightly tap on the end of the chisel and start to break the dried up mortar from off the wall. Start from the top and work your way to the bottom. Continue to work slowly and carefully until most of the mortar is removed from the wall.  Break up larger pieces of mortar into smaller more manageable pieces instead of trying to remove it all at once. Lime mortar is easier to remove than cement based mortar using this method. Go in a back and forth motion over the face of the brick to remove any broken up mortar dust. Try to scrape off any stubborn mortar that wasn't removed from chiseling. Do not spend too much time in one area or you may discolor the brick in that area.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Moja el ladrillo con una manguera de jardín. Golpea el cincel paralelo al ladrillo para quitar el exceso de mortero. Retira el exceso de mortero con una escobilla de alambre rígido.


Ensure that the rack is in the middle of the oven. Pour the brown sugar into a bowl. Add the honey, orange zest, orange juice, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Add some salt and pepper to taste, then stir everything together. Use fresh nutmeg. Scrape it against a rasp grater, or any fine grater. Tear off a large enough sheet of aluminum foil to completely cover the ham. Place the foil on top of a flat surface, then set the ham on top. Make sure that the ham is face down on the cut side of the last slice. How many sprigs of thyme you use depends on how many slices are cut into your ham. Plan on using about 10 to 12 sprigs of thyme for a 6 to 7-pound (2.7 to 3.2-kilogram) bone-in half spiral ham. Remember, tuck the sprigs between every other slice, not every slice. Make sure that you pour the glaze evenly over the slice and allow it to sink in between the slices. Set the rest of the glaze aside for later, then wrap the aluminum foil tightly around the ham. Fill a roasting pan with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Set a wire rack into the pan, then place the foil-wrapped ham on top. in the oven until it reaches 140 °F (60 °C) inside. How long this takes depends on the size of the ham. Stick a meat thermometer into the ham after about 2 hours. If it reads 140 °F (60 °C), the ham is ready. If it reads below 140 °F (60 °C), the ham needs to be cooked longer. In general, it will take about 20 minutes per pound (454 grams) for the ham to cook. Pour the rest of the glaze into a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, whisking often. As soon as the bubbles appear, take the glaze off of the stove and allow it to rest. The glaze will rest during the next step. As soon as you finish cooking the glaze, turn the oven up to 400 °F (204 °C). During the time it takes for the oven to heat up, the glaze will rest and thicken. Carefully take the ham out of the oven. Use tongs to peel back the foil enough to expose the top of the ham; leave the bottom and sides covered. Pour the thickened glaze over the top of the ham....

Vierte el resto del glaseado sobre el jamón. Asa el jamón descubierto durante 15 minutos más. Deja que el jamón repose antes de cortarlo y servirlo. ¡Terminaste!


Ensure that the sweater lies flat on the towel so that it doesn't become wrinkled. Adjust the sleeves so that they fit on the towel.  If possible, use a white towel, as this removes the risk of any dye from the towel staining your sweater. An absorbent towel, rather than a light cotton towel, will work best for this task. This helps to delicately remove the excess water from the sweater. Press down gently on the shoulders of the sweater and then work your way down. Remove the top towel from the sweater once you have pressed the entire garment. Gently pull the shoulders of the jersey apart to their usual placement and tug on the sleeves to make them longer. Pull the body material widthways, then pull it lengthways to stretch out the fibers. Continue to adjust the sweater until it reaches your desired shape and size. Hold the jersey up to your body to ensure you're stretching it in the right places. Place the sweater on a dry towel in a dust-free area to dry. If the sweater is still damp after 24 hours, flip it over, place it on a dry towel, and wait a further 24 hours for it to dry. If the sweater is still too small, repeat the softening and stretching process to make it larger.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Extiende una toalla sobre una superficie dura y después coloca el suéter sobre la toalla. Coloca otra toalla encima del suéter y presiona suavemente. Estira el suéter a su forma original. Deja secar el suéter sobre una toalla en una superficie plana durante 24 horas.


Ensure the doors are completely dry and clean. Spray the product of your choice on all surfaces of your shower door. Wait three minutes and then wipe it all off using paper towels.  Commonly used on car windows to make rain-water bead off more effectively, water-repellants will help in your bathroom too. Less moisture will be able to collect and therefore soap scum and grime will take longer to build up. For best results, do this once a week. Although this may seem tedious to do all the time, it will help you in the long run. Consistently using a squeegee will keep water off the doors and prevent soap scum from building up too quickly.  Using a squeegee makes your walls and doors dry faster. This will prevent mold and mildew from growing. Some companies make squeegees that mount directly on shower walls. Owning a squeegee can be handy in other ways. Consider using it to maintain car windows, and windows around the house. When condensation sits in a closed space it is more difficult to evaporate off. Keeping the bathroom ventilated will prevent condensation build-up and help keep shower doors soap scum free.  Proper ventilation in the bathroom also promotes general hygiene and a cleaner airspace in the room. If you live in a cold climate, close the door and leave any windows open so the room can aerate without lowering the whole house's temperature.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cubre las puertas de la ducha con un repelente de agua de lluvia. Limpia las puertas de la ducha de manera regular con una escobilla para vidrio. Deja las ventanas y puertas del baño abiertas.


Ensure their diaper use isn't done due to other medical issues such as prostate problems or stress incontinence. Have their family talk to them and have their family bring them to a doctor who can treat and evaluate why they might even need their diapers to ensure theirs no other drastic reason that is curable but if left untreated can become quite a problem down the line in time. Many wearers may feel ashamed that their diapers will get exposed in public and that if not taken seriously, the problem may get out of hand. Make sure they can count on you to help them handle life's emergencies while wearing it in public, from shielding other's view of them to other issues about their use.  Like underwear, diapers have a tendency to show in the lower back after bending down to pick something up or when the person is just stretching. This is enhanced by diapers having a higher waist and a plastic-like back panel that can make it easy for shirts to slide up and uncover their diaper. Your friend most likely will not be aware of the diaper showing, and just like a Laundry Instruction Tag showing it is considered polite to tell your friend, so the wardrobe malfunction can be adjusted.  Use a code word to represent when this occurs to your friend. Your friend might appreciate it if you don't say "Your diaper is showing" out loud, but you may agree on another more inconspicuous word that is less detrimental to their health like Socks, pants, or some other term you could devise with them. Diapers can be tucked in. The top rim of the diapers are made of plastic that will help to seal in the urine while they are lying down. Once tucked under and into the diaper itself, it can become less conspicuous, but that may create skin contact with the plastic which can result in itching and skin irritation to the wearer. To decrease the height of the diaper-rim, it is better to bend this top part outwards letting the wearer’s other clothing keep the diaper in a better place on their body. Offer to carry your friend's diaper bag....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Determina si necesita usar el pañal o si lo hace como respuesta a la vergüenza de otra situación. Asegúrate de que tu amigo no se sienta avergonzado por usar pañales en público. No te comportes muy triste por él o su situación si parece no obtener una respuesta diferente del doctor o si hay otra causa que nunca había considerado y que hace que el uso de pañal sea la causa principal de otros problemas. Ten en cuenta que tendrás que ayudarlo cuando notes que su pañal está a la vista. Mantente cerca y listo para ayudarlo a llevar su bolsa de pañales por él. Avísale que tiene que cambiarse de pañal. Debes estar a su lado para consolarlo, en especial cuando diga que no quiere tu ayuda. Vayan al baño juntos. Piensa en las compras o alguna otra actividad en lugar de pensar en que usa pañales y te los muestra a ti y su familia. Compra pantaloncillos plásticos con él, si lo desea o necesita comprarlos por algún motivo. Considera ir con él a nadar, tomar el sol, al gimnasio, el sauna, el spa, a recibir un masaje o a tomar una ducha en público. Limita las conversaciones sobre propagandas de pañales, visitas al baño o cualquier cartel en el que la micción podría causar incomodidad a tu amigo, ya que podrían hacer que quiera usar su pañal con más frecuencia.


Ensure your legs are in the correct positions, shoulder width apart.  If you look down at your front knee, you should see your knee is blocking your view of your foot.  Your big toe should be just slightly to the inside, not 90 degrees but about 85. Have someone test your stance by giving you push or two, to make sure you keep your balance. Ensure your blocking hand is in front, and your punching hand is at nesting against your hip. Pull your back leg forward until it is in the same line as your front leg.  Do not rise up.  Keep your head at the same level the whole time. Keep your fist at your hip, same place. You can extend your blocking fist if you want, but that is optional. Move your back leg forward by sliding it, do not pick it up off the floor. Your back leg should not move straight forward, but should move towards the center as it moves towards your body. Push off with your back leg, staying low, and keeping your fist nestled against your side.  Ensure legs are softly bent, to give you maximum power from the lunge forward. Do not tense up. Focus on your target, be it body or face. Roll your fist over to have your palm face down as you connect.  Exhale or Kiai.  Tighten your muscles as you strike.  Your back leg should extend straight and your muscles should all tighten, so that the power flows from your feet all the way through to the punch. The front leg returns to shoulder width distance to land in a strong position.
