Locate the battery either in your engine bay or in the trunk. It will look like a black plastic box with 2 metal terminals sticking out of the top. Find the negative terminal, which will be marked with a (-) minus sign. Loosen the bolt holding the cable on the terminal and then slide it off.  If you can’t find your battery, refer to the vehicle’s owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s website. Tuck the cable to the side so it doesn’t accidentally come back into contact with the battery terminal. Find the spark plug wires (thick cables running from the ignition coils to the top of the engine) where they connect to the spark plugs and follow them to the openings in the cylinder head for each. There will be 1 cable and 1 plug for each cylinder in your engine, so a V6 will have 6, whereas a two-stroke dirt bike will only have 1. If you’re having trouble locating the spark plugs on your particular vehicle, refer to the owner’s manual or a vehicle specific repair manual for help. Once you’ve found where the spark plugs are screwed in, you’ll need to clean all the dirt and junk out of the area to stop any of it from falling into the cylinders while the spark plugs are removed. Use the compressed air to blow all loose materials safely away.  If any dirt or debris falls into the cylinder while the spark plug is removed, it could cause serious damage to the engine. Always wear eye protection when using canned air to spray away debris. In order to keep the cables organized and minimize the risk of debris falling into the cylinders, you should clean the spark plugs 1 at a time. Removing all of the spark plugs at once could make it easy to confuse which cable goes to which cylinder, and would also increase the chances of something falling into the empty holes the spark plugs used to fill. Grip the spark plug cable firmly, low on the boot nearest to the spark plug, and then pull it away and off the plug.  Don’t pull from high on the wire or you could separate the inside of the cable from its connector for the plug. If the...

Locate the cable that runs from the back of your cable box to the wall outlet. While your cable box is still on, pull the plug out of the wall to disconnect it from power. Check the front of your cable box to make sure the display turned off. Grab the plug by its base rather than pulling on the cord since you could damage it. Wait at least 1 minute before plugging your cable box back into the outlet. Make sure the plug is securely in the outlet and doesn’t feel loose since it could cause connection issues. Leave your cable box powered off but plugged in for another minute. Avoid plugging your cable box into an outlet that’s controlled by a lightswitch since it could cause connectivity issues or loss of power. Once you plug the cable box back in, press the main Power button on the front of the machine or on your remote. The lights on the box’s display should turn on or say “Boot” as it starts back up. Wait 5-10 minutes while the system restarts before trying to use it again to see if the reboot worked. Contact your cable company if the cable box still doesn’t work.

Locate the main valve of the system and turn the water supply off from there. Doing so prevents more water from entering the system, so all you need to do is drain the water already inside.  The shut off valve for your sprinkler system should be located in an area that is not prone to freezing. Oftentimes, it will be located inside, like in a basement, garage, or utility closet. The valve will either be a gate/globe valve, ball valve, or stop waste valve. In some cases, a stop and waste valve will be located underground. It can be as deep as 5 feet (1.5 m) down, so you may need a long key to turn it. Turn one of the systems or sprinkler heads along the mainline. This will relieve the pressure within the system, thereby preventing any pipes from bursting or cracking. Note that this method is used when automatic drain valves are located at the end points and low points of your system's piping. These valves automatically open and drain water once pressure in the piping is less than 10 PSI. As such, you need to prompt the pressure to drop before the valves will open, which is another reason for activating one of the systems along the mainline. When the mainline finishes draining, you will need to open either the boiler drain valve or the drain cap on the stop and waste valve. Open all the test cocks on the backflow device, too. Your system will either have a boiler drain valve or a drain cap on a stop and waste valve, depending on the type usually installed in your area. It will not have both. Check with neighbors or a local sprinkler installation professional to find out which you can expect to find. The sprinklers in your system may have check valves, and if they do, you will need to pull up on the sprinklers so that the water can drain out of the bottom of the sprinkler body. Most sprinklers will have check valves. If yours does not, however, you will need to hope that the water can completely drain out of the other valves along the system instead. If the location of your drain valves are not positioned well,...

Locate the on/off switch on your pool’s filter, usually near the pressure gauge, and switch it off. Always do this to turn off the filter before you move the multiport valve to backwash the filter or you could break the diverter gasket inside the valve. When the pressure gauge on your sand filter reads 10 psi above it’s regular level, or the level it operates at when you first set up the filter, then you need to backwash the filter. If you aren’t sure what the normal operating level is, then consult the owner’s manual. Slide the hose clamp over the end of the backwash hose and put the end of the hose over the backwash nozzle of the filter system. Turn the screw on the hose clamp clockwise with a screwdriver until it is tightened all the way to make a secure connection. There will be a lot of water pressure when you backwash the filter system, so it’s important to make sure the hose is very tightly attached to the backwash nozzle so it doesn’t pop off during the procedure and spill pool water everywhere. Locate the multiport valve on the filter system, in other words the valve labeled with different functions, and turn the handle to the position labeled “backwash.” This will change the function of the filter to allow you to drain water through the backwash nozzle. Double-check the filter’s on/off valve to make sure it is off before you move the multiport valve to avoid damaging the filter system. Turn the filter’s on/off valve back to “on” and watch the water in the sight glass. You are done backwashing when the water in the sight glass looks clear. This usually takes about 1 minute, but the time can vary depending on how dirty the filter is. Switch the filter’s on/off valve to “off.” Turn the handle of the multiport valve to the spot that says “rinse”. The rinse function will flush out any remaining dirt and debris from the filter before you turn it back on. Switch the filter on again to start the rinse function. Let it run for around 30 seconds to flush out the last of the dirt and debris through the...

Locate the pair of copper water supply lines in or on the room’s wall. One pipe carries cold water while the other carries hot water. Use your hacksaw to cleanly sever both lines. Wear down the ends of the pipe with a 120-grit  emery cloth. They’ll shine when you’re finished. Then, using a small flux brush, brush an even layer of flux over the shiny copper ends. Pick up a pair of copper tee fittings from the home improvement store. Brush flux inside the openings on both tee fittings, then slide the fittings onto the pipes. Leave the open end pointing outward towards where the sink will be placed. the copper pipes together with a propane torch. Hold some lead-free metal solder over one of the connecting joints. Turn on the torch and angle it so the end of the flame hits the solder. Move the torch from side to side to evenly heat the solder, melting it over the joint. Repeat this for the other joints on the pipes. Measure about a third of the way up the wall. Using a masonry bit, drill a hole in the wall behind each pipe. Keep the holes smaller than the width of the copper wall anchors. You may also use a hammer and nail to tap the holes into the wall. Place the anchor’s screw in the pilot hole and hang the anchor on top of it. Then use a cordless screwdriver to tighten it against the wall. Gently guide the pipes into the anchor to secure them in place.

Locate the plastic or metal mounting nut that's holding your handle in place on the inside the top of the tank. Try twisting the nut clockwise by hand to see if you can loosen it. If not, grip the nut with a pair of locking pliers to get better leverage on it. Unscrew the nut and slide it down the metal or plastic lever inside your tank to remove it. Don't turn the mounting nut counterclockwise since you could strip it and make it more difficult to remove. If the nut inside your toilet is stripped, use a hacksaw to cut through it. Many mounting nuts have a black rubber O-ring attached to them, which prevents leaks from coming through the handle. If the O-ring isn't attached to the mounting nut, make sure you remove it as well.

Locate the settings wheel on the outside of your camera and rotate it until the “M” symbol is lined up with the white line on your camera. Once manual mode is turned on, you’ll be able to adjust the other settings on your camera. ” This will let your camera focus on things that are far off in the distance, like the stars and the northern lights. Don’t use autofocus when you’re photographing the northern lights or your camera won’t be able to focus. To set your camera’s focus to infinity, rotate the lens until the large white line on the side of the lens is lined up with the small infinity symbol (it looks like a sideways “8”). The aperture, also known as the f-stop, is how open the lens on your camera is. The lower the aperture, the more open your lens will be. You want the lens on your camera to be as open as possible when you’re photographing the northern lights. To set the aperture on your camera, press and hold the plus and minus button. Then, rotate the command dial on your camera to the left to lower the aperture.  If you’re having a hard time adjusting the aperture on your camera, reference the owner’s manual for help. An aperture setting of f/2.8 will work for photographing the northern lights. The shutter speed is how long your lens is open when you take a picture. If the northern lights are moving quickly, set the shutter speed to 5-7 seconds. If the northern lights are moving slowly, set the shutter speed to 10-25 seconds. If you’re not sure how to adjust the shutter speed on your camera, reference the owner’s manual. The ISO is how much light your camera needs to capture a photo. The higher the ISO, the less light your camera needs. Take a practice shot of the northern lights with your camera’s ISO set between 400-800. If the shot looks too dark, increase the ISO to 1200 and take another photo. If your photo still looks too dark, raise the ISO by another 400. Continue doing this until your photos look bright enough. If you’re not sure how to adjust the ISO on your camera, check the owner’s manual...

Locate the speaker icon (typically to the left of the clock) in the Windows taskbar. If you see an X beside it, your PC's volume is muted. Press the Volume-Up button several times, or click the speaker icon and drag the slider to the right. Look for an on-screen indicator that the volume is rising.  If the volume icon doesn't appear in the taskbar, right-click the taskbar, click Taskbar settings, click Select which icons appear in the taskbar, and slide the "Volume" switch to the "On" position. Many keyboards have mute and volume buttons. Sometimes these keys are actually shared keyboard keys. For example, the arrow keys ←+→+↑+↓ may also display sound icons. You'll usually have to press the Fn key at the same time as you press the volume-up or mute key. It's at the bottom-right corner of the screen. Each currently-open application will have a pentagonal slider below its icon; if this slider is at the bottom of the Mixer window, the application's master volume is muted.  If you want to increase your overall system's volume, click and drag the "Speakers" volume slider up. If this resolves your issue, click the X at the top-right corner to close the volume mixer. If you can't hear audio from your speakers or headphones, make sure you've plugged them into the correct port (not the microphone port!) and that the connections are securely in place.  If your computer is connected to speakers that have their own volume controls, make sure they are plugged in, powered on, and that their volume is up. You may also need to change the audio output to the correct device. Before proceeding to another method, try to reset your audio by restarting your computer. If your computer loads up with the sound is fixed, you needn't continue.

Locate the valve underneath your sink that controls the hot water. Rotate the valve clockwise until it’s horizontal with the pipe it’s connected to. This will turn off hot water to your faucet. Put a towel underneath your sink in case any water spills. Use channel lock pliers or your fingers to rotate the nut above the valve counterclockwise. Loosen the nut until you can disconnect the supply line from the valve. Hold the end of the supply line over a bucket so it doesn’t spill any water. Clean underneath your sink so you can easily fit a bucket directly under the supply line. Turn your faucet all the way on so it’s at a neutral temperature. The cold water will go up through the faucet and out the hot water supply line. Let the water run for 10 seconds before turning it off again. If your faucet has 2 handles to control the water temperature, turn them both the same amount. Hold the supply line over the valve and spin the nut clockwise. Keep tightening the nut by hand until you can’t rotate it anymore. Use your channel lock pliers to secure the supply line in place and prevent any leaks. Turn the valve counterclockwise into the open position. Turn off the cold water valve and disconnect the supply line. Make sure the supply line feeds into the bucket so you don’t spill any water. Turn your water on for 10 seconds to flush the line. Attach the supply line back to the valve with your pliers and turn the valve on. Once both lines are flushed, the water pressure should be back to normal.

Locate your home's circuit board at the electrical box. Because most water heaters use about 240 Volts of electricity, you should need to switch off 2 breakers. Consult the location sheet on the inside of the panel for details—if they are unlisted, turn off all of the panels to be safe. Never adjust the electric water heater without turning off the circuit breakers. To prevent electrocution, contact an electrician if you're not sure how to turn off the breakers. The access panel(s) should look like rectangular boxes on the front of the water heater. Water panels have either single or double access panels, so pry open 1 or both to reach the panel's inner controls. Most panels do not need a screwdriver to be opened. Your hands should be enough. You should notice a thin padding of insulation between the thermostat and the access panels. Take out all of the insulation to get a clearer look at the thermostat and raise the temperature as needed. Store the insulation somewhere safe—it will need to go back in the water heater to keep the thermostat temperature accurate. Most thermostats are turned via a screw in the middle. Place a flat tip screwdriver into the screw and turn it several notches higher. Raise the thermostat temperature no higher than 120 °F (49 °C) to prevent burns.  The thermostat should show temperatures from about 90 °F (32 °C) to 150 °F (66 °C), though 120 °F (49 °C) is the recommended maximum. Even if there are 2 panels, there should only be 1 thermostat. The number of panels more has to do with the water heater's design, as both panels should open up to the same thermostat. Put the insulation back into the heater and close 1 or both panels. When you're ready to check the water temperature, turn the power back on. Wait at least 3 hours before checking the water and evaluate: if it still reads or feels too low, adjust the temperature again.

Apaga los interruptores del calentador. Quita el panel de acceso del calentador. Quita el aislante para encontrar el termostato. Ajusta el termostato en la posición más alta. Cierra los paneles y espera para probar el agua.


Locate your local recycling center on www.iwanttoberecycled.org. Find out if they recycle trash cans, and bring your trash can to their location if they do. If your trash can doesn’t fit in your car, or if you don’t have a car, ask if they have a pick-up service. Locate your nearest scrap metal recycling facility on www.gotscrap.com. Note that there’s a chance there isn’t a scrap metal recycling facility near you. If there is, bring your metal trash can ot this location, where you can even get paid for recycling!

Locate your wire and cut it to the desired length. You don’t want too much slack, so try anywhere from 3 inches to a foot. This wire will connect the switch to the capacitor. You’ll also need to strip the wire from the rubber casing. Solder the wire to one of the two terminals of the capacitor. Use a quality soldering gun to avoid a messy circuit board. Solder a blob of lead free rosin core to the surface. Then heat the wire to the blob with your soldering gun. It should dry shortly to create a firm connection. Take the wire you just soldered to the capacitor and attach it to the “off” side of the switch. You might need to solder the wire onto the switch, but most switches you buy have screwable ports for wires. Wrap a strip of tape around your circular object with the adhesive side facing outward until it overlaps.  Now take the enamel coated wire and wrap it 7-15 times. Leave some wire out to attach to the terminals. Don’t overlap any of the coil. Take time and be precise. Make sure the wire is snug and that there aren’t any spatial gaps.  Coat the finished wiring with tape so it’s secure. Slide the windings off the object. Cut the terminals of the coils to the desired length, but make sure you leave yourself enough room to work with. Using sandpaper, file down the tips of the wire to remove the enamel coat. This will create a stronger bond between the components. Attach a strand of coil to the other terminal of the capacitor. Use care and don’t create a mess. Solder onto the opposite side of the switch. Connect one of the leads of the coil to the other “on” terminal of the switch. Make sure your battery for the device is charged and in place. Test the device on a handheld video game. Newer models might not work. Insert the electronic device into the circular coil and flip the switch.

Location is important when you are planning your garden. Most importantly, determine if the area you want to use gets enough sun. Then, consider if the size is appropriate for what you want to do with it and also consider how you will water this garden. You should either be able to pull a hose over to it if it is a large garden, or be able to carry a full watering can to it if it is smaller. If you are going to be growing a container garden, it is still important to identify a suitable area to place the containers. The area should have good sunlight, enough room for the plants to grow upwards, and they should be easy to transport to a source of water or located somewhere that is convenient to bring water to them. Good soil will have an adequate amount of lime, phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. Find out how much of each you have in your soil, and what you need to add more of to get the best growing plants. If you are planting a container garden, then you don’t need to worry about this. You can just use potting soil that is appropriate for the type of plants you will be growing.  You can purchase an at-home soil testing kit from many hardware and garden stores. Follow the directions to find out the properties of your garden soil. You can take soil samples from around your garden and have them sent to your local state-certified soil testing lab or university extension service, and for a small fee they will lab-test your soil and send you the results within a week. This is much easier than testing the soil yourself, but it does cost more. Take multiple soil samples from around your garden to make sure that you are getting accurate test results.  Test your soil’s pH to see if you need to make changes to balance it. To do this, use a pH testing kit or make your own test at home and check the soil from your garden. Certain plants prefer different pH levels, but it is best to have soil that is as close to neutral - a pH of 7 - as possible. Once you have your soil and pH tests completed, ready your soil by adding...

Loners often spend time alone to recharge after spending a lot of time socializing. You can do whatever you want when you're alone, which is one of the great things about being a loner. However, since you'll be spending a great deal of time alone, learn to use that time wisely.  Learn a new skill, or use your alone time to focus on your hobbies. Introverted people tend to be more creative when they are alone.  You may also find it beneficial to meditate when you are alone. Spending time alone is all about recharging. It's okay to take a break from being productive to focus on mental clarity. If you have roommates, or if you live with your parents, it can be difficult to find solitude. Try waking up 30 minutes to an hour earlier than the rest of your house. Use that time to focus on the day, or spend it doing something creative. If you work in an office that requires you to share your space with co-workers, it may help you to get to work early. Try to get to work a half hour or so before your peers. You'll be in before things get busy, and you'll feel more focused. Just because you're a loner doesn't mean you dislike people. You may still have a few close friends, but still, you need time alone and you need your family to understand that. Let your friends and family know that you occasionally need time alone to recharge. Remind them that you aren't upset or depressed, and that you prefer time alone to organize your thoughts and clear your head. They'll understand. The best place to get away is a private room with a door, such as a bedroom. If you can't use your bedroom, try to find another private space where you can shut out the rest of the world. Outfit your space with things that you can use when you are alone. Fill it with books you've been wanting to read, or art supplies in case you get creative. Make sure the space is comfortable. You'll be spending a lot of time in your room, so make sure you enjoy it.

Long grain rice will expand to triple its size during cooking, so take this into account when deciding how much to make. (optional). Adding cold water to the rice and draining it will remove loose starches without losing nutrients. This may result in fluffier rice, although some milling processes leave little excess starch to remove. If you don't have a strainer, simply tilt the saucepan carefully so only the water drains, using a wooden spoon if necessary to keep the rice in. Some people prefer to soak the rice beforehand to reduce cooking time and improve the texture, but you can skip this step and still achieve an excellent result. Use twice as much water as rice by volume and soak for 20 minutes. Drain the water afterward. Use twice as much water as rice by volume or slightly more. Optionally, add salt and oil for flavor. Let the pot boil with the rice in it for 1 or 2 minutes, then place a lid over the pot and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Make sure the lid is on tight to keep in the steam. Long grain rice usually takes about 20 minutes to cook without previous soaking, but you can check earlier if you're worried about overcooking. When ready, the rice has lost its crunch but remains firm. If the grains are falling apart into mush, the rice is overcooked. Only lift the lid slightly when checking and put it back on as soon as possible to keep the steam in. It is now ready to serve or use in another recipe. Butter or savory herbs such as thyme or oregano make a bland rice dinner appealing. Add them during boiling for a strong flavor or stir in after the rice is cooked.

Long nails can harbor dangerous infections, making meticulous hand-washing a must. Centers of Disease Control and Protection recommend a particular way to wash your hands that is the most effective at killing germs and microbes. Use clean, running water. Apply soap and lather for 20 seconds, making sure to scrub the backsides of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails. Rinse your hands well and dry them on a clean towel.  Keeping nails dry is as important as keeping them clean, since moisture can encourage bacteria to grow. Carefully dry your hands on a clean towel every time you get them wet.  Carry antibacterial hand sanitizer with you for times when soap and water aren’t available. Make sure the sanitizer is a gel and contains at least 60% alcohol – most commercially available sanitizers meet this criteria.  Using a hand sanitizer is not as effective as washing your hands with soap and water, but it will do in a pinch. Don't replace regular hand washing with sanitizer. Nail brushes are available for use during nail care, but you can also try using an old toothbrush to clean underneath your nails with soap and water. After washing, use an orange stick to clean beneath the nail. For stubborn debris, soak a Q-tip or small piece of cotton with nail polish remover (preferably an acetone-free version) and wrap it around the end of the orange stick before swabbing beneath the nail. Not only does it damage the nail bed, but even a minor cut or abrasion can harbor bacteria and fungi. Carefully clip off any hangnails with nail clippers. Also avoid trimming your cuticles. Instead, use an orange stick to push them back. There are also cuticle-removing products available on the market, which are safe to use for this purpose. Use a cotton ball soaked with alcohol to thoroughly wipe off all of your nail tools before and after every use to avoid spreading infection. Make sure all of your tools are sharp and functioning along with being clean.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lávate las manos de forma minuciosa. Frótate debajo de las uñas a diario. No te muerdas las uñas, no te toques las cutículas ni te jales los padrastros. Esteriliza las herramientas para el cuidado de las uñas antes de usarlas.


Long offshoots need to be cut back entirely or simply shortened to keep the shrub's shape. In general, take your pruning cues from the holly's natural shape. Also keep upper branches shorter than lower ones in order to ensure that sunlight can reach the lower branches. Only cut directly above a lateral bud, rather than haphazardly in a mid-section of the branch or twig. Also, be sure to make angled cuts so that water can drain off the wounds. If you disregard this principle and leave stubs from the places where you've cut, the stubs will heal more slowly. It also leaves the plant more susceptible to insects and diseases. Cut branches off at the main branch or an intersecting branch in order to thin out the bush and create a more even distribution of branches throughout the shrub. Be sure to cut strategically: cutting far back into the shrub means that future growth on that site is unlikely, as older wood does not regenerate as easily as new wood. Pruning intersecting branches at their union will help you create a more organized framework of branches. This gives the shrub a nice, natural shape which needs minimal pruning later.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Identifica las ramas que sobresalgan. Realiza los cortes en el lugar adecuado. Saca todas las ramas por completo.


Long pants will cover your cankles and slim your legs at the same time. Wide-legged styles are best, as these don’t hug your ankles. Try to avoid skinny jeans and cropped styles that cut off right above the ankle. Long dresses and skirts also have a slimming effect. Just make sure they cut off at the ankle, not above it. High-waisted bottoms lengthen your legs, resulting in a slimmer-looking ankle. Try high-waisted pants or a long, high-waisted skirt. Chunky heels can make large ankles look slimmer. Stay away from stilettos, which are small and thin, making your ankles look larger in comparison. Ankle straps will only call attention to your cankles. Instead, pick shoes that cover your ankles, like high boots, or shoes with pointed toes, which help elongate your legs. If you don’t want to give up cropped pants or sandals with ankle straps, try accessorizing. Bold accessories, like handbags, sunglasses, and jewelry, will draw eyes upward and away from your cankles.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa pantalones largos y amplios. Escoge pantalones a la altura de la cintura. Escoge tacones gruesos. Evita el calzado con tiras en los tobillos. Usa accesorios para dirigir la atención a otras partes del cuerpo.


Long sleeves may not be too fun in the heat, but you’ll need to cover as much skin as you can while you’re outside.  Clouds make very little difference in the sun’s effect on your skin, too, blocking a mere 20% of UV rays.  And if you thought you were safe on the ski slopes, think again: snow actually reflects 80% of UV rays, increasing exposure. So if you were planning on skiing shirtless for some reason… maybe don’t. Admittedly, you might feel a little silly at first, but it’s a surefire way to block out the sun during your walk down the block. Consider a parasol if you’re looking for something a little more chic. Don’t entrust it all to an umbrella at the beach, however. As you might’ve guessed after learning of snow’s powerful reflective potential, sand, too, reflects UV rays. Not as bad as snow—only 17% from sand—but still enough for the sun to make its mark. When it comes down to it, staying inside will keep you the palest. Full-on hermit life isn’t an option for everyone, though, and keep in mind it’s not a requirement to keeping your skin lighter if you can abide by the above steps. The body does requires Vitamin D, though, and nutritional guidelines for vitamin D (600 IU from ages 1-70) are generally set with the assumption that a person will be receiving some regular sunlight.  Fatty fish, beef liver, eggs, cheese, and mushrooms provide some vitamin D, and U.S. milk is often fortified with it.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cúbrete incluso en los días nublados. Usa una sombrilla. Mantente en el interior.


Long wearing lip colors are nearly impossible to simply wipe off. However, before you begin the removal process, blot or wipe off as much lip color as you can using a tissue or cotton makeup remover pad. Depending on the lasting power of your long wear lipstick, lip balm might work to remove some or all of your lipstick. Apply a heavy coat of lip balm to your lips and wait a minute or two for it to soak in. Then, work in firm circular motions as you use a cotton pad or paper towel to rub the color away. With the lip balm still on your lips, wet a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently scrub your lips in a circular motion. Be sure to do this very lightly so you don’t hurt your lips.  The combinations of lip balm and lightly brushing your lips with the toothbrush will help loosen the long wearing lipstick. If the lip balm and exfoliating method is going to work, it will start working almost immediately. Don't keep scrubbing your lips if this method isn't working on your particular lip color. You can hurt your lips, making them sore or cracked. This won’t remove a waterproof lip color. However, it will “loosen” the color on your lips, which will help your makeup removal products be more effective at removing the color. If you notice that the warm washcloth seems to be working to remove your lipstick, then rinse the washcloth with warm water and again gently wipe your lips. Rinsing the washcloth will help you avoid smearing the lip color to other parts of your face.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sácate la mayor cantidad de lápiz labial posible. Pasa un poco de bálsamo labial por tus labios. Exfóliate los labios. Sácate el lápiz labial con una tela tibia. Enjuaga la tela y repite el proceso.


Long-distance relationships come with a variety of challenges. One of the biggest is temptation. Establish with your partner at the beginning of the coupledom what you will and won’t tolerate, to avoid any question later on.  For instance, decide if seeing other people or going on dates with others is something you’re comfortable with. Make your feelings about this well-known if you decide to pursue a long- distance relationship. If you don’t, you may end up with a broken heart.  Remember that it is not all or nothing. You might consider a lead in period of dating others, and set a date in the future after which you will not date other people. If you’re like many, not hearing from your significant other for a few weeks is going to create some friction. However, hearing from them constantly throughout the day can create the idea that trust is lacking. Decide from the start how often you want to communicate with each other, and stick to that commitment. For instance, you can set a rule that you should text each other each day to check in and you must speak on the phone at least twice a week. Deciding these rules now can prevent you from getting hurt or hurting your partner by making it seem like they aren’t a priority. Long-distance relationships are built on trust. You have to be able to trust the person in order to make it work. If you constantly feel like you are defending yourself or are being questioned about your intentions, or vice versa, you likely aren’t going to have a lasting relationship. Make a rule that you are going to trust each other 100 percent. Decide that you are going to take the person’s word for it, and you’re not going to get insecure about how the other person feels. You may not be ready to handle a long-distance relationship if you can’t stick to these guidelines. Chances are you don’t want to stay in a long-distance relationship for the rest of your life. Decide how long you are going to be apart from the beginning. Having an end goal of living near each other can give you hope when...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Hablen sobre lo que es o no aceptable en la relación. Hablen sobre con qué frecuencia se comunicarán. Comprométanse a confiar en ustedes mutuamente. Hablen sobre fechas límite que sean viables.


Long-term goals by definition require a lot of time, commitment, and energy. Because of this, it would be better to only commit to one long-term goal at a time. Otherwise, you may end up committing only partially to your goals and never end up completing them. It is much better to have one complete goal than three incomplete ones. This doesn't mean, of course, that you should forget about your other long-term goals if you have them. You have plenty of time in your life to accomplish numerous long-term goals. Some may just have to wait until you have the time to commit to them. Prioritize your goals so the most important one is completed first. Achieving a long-term goal can seem overwhelming when you look at it as a whole. Goals become much more manageable, however, when you break them into several smaller goals. That way you can focus on less daunting tasks, all while working towards your overall goal. Read Achieve a Big Goal by Breaking It Into Smaller Ones for more details on how to divide up your long-term goals. It helps to set a date that you would like to achieve your goal by. This will help you stay focused and committed to working on your goal. Set timetables for the overall goal, and for each smaller task you break that goal into. That way you'll always know where you stand and if you need to adjust anything. Say your goal was to go back to school for your master's degree. You would like to do your master's in 2 years, which represents the deadline for your overall goal. There are several sub-goals involved in this goal that you should give a timetable to as well. You'll want to apply for the program within 3 months, then find an adviser in your first semester, then develop a thesis topic in your second semester. By sticking to these smaller deadlines, you'll be able to stay on track for your larger goal. Long-term goals will entail several months to several years of commitment. You won't be able to attain your goal if you can't keep yourself disciplined and focused. It will help to improve your...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Longhaired dachshunds are prone to ear problems. The warm, moist environment inside the ear is a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. If needed, use clippers to trim their hair on the inner flap of your dog’s ear. This helps to prevent tangles, and allows for good circulation so moisture and dirt don’t build up.  You'll need to trim your dog’s ear hair whenever the hair becomes fluffy or bushy, or when it is long enough to reach into their ear canal. Use clippers instead of scissors to reduce the risk of cutting your dog’s ear. In show terms, this is called the “flag.” Longhaired dachshunds tend to accumulate debris and tangles in this area of their coat. It’s a good idea to keep this hair trimmed. Not only will it be easier to brush and keep clean, it will help your dog to get around more easily. Using clippers, trim the hair so it does not reach the ground. It is a good idea to keep this area trimmed. Owners may even want to keep the hair fairly short in this area, especially if they are not using the dog for shows. Using a cotton ball and a dog ear cleaner solution, gently wipe the inside of your dog’s ears. According to the solution’s directions, place the correct amount in the ear and let it soak into the canal. Gently massage the base of the ear between your index finger and thumb for a few minutes, then let go and allow your dog to shake its head. This will help dislodge debris in the ear and expel the excess cleaning solution. Next, gently wipe the area around the outside of the ear canal to dislodge any wax. Check for any discharge from the ear canal.  It’s a good idea to check your dog’s ears each time you groom it. Since dachshunds are prone to ear problems, this helps you catch conditions early on.  Clean your dog’s ears any time you bathe or groom the dog to prevent infections caused by moisture in the ears. You can find ear cleaning solution for dogs at pet stores and large retailers. Dental health is very important in dachshunds. Regularly examine your dog’s mouth to look for any broken...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Recorta el pelo en el interior del oído. Recorta el pelo en el vientre del perro. Limpia las orejas del perro. Revisa los dientes y las encías del perro. Cepíllale los dientes. Límpiale los ojos con cuidado. Recorta el pelo entre los dedos de sus pezuñas.


Look around the area to find a relatively flat area with a tree that has a trunk that splits about 3–5 feet (0.91–1.52 m) off of the ground. If possible, try to find 2 trees that have a split in their trunks about 3–5 feet (0.91–1.52 m) off of the ground and are about 10 feet (3.0 m) apart from each other.  If you can't find a tree with a split in its trunk, look for a strong branch or log that has a “Y” shape to serve as the support for your shelter. Clear the area between the trees of rocks and debris so it will be more comfortable to lie on. To form your shelter you need a support beam, so look for a sturdy tree branch that isn't rotting. The straighter the branch, the better it will be for forming the structure of your shelter. Clear off any critters or spiders that may be on the branch. Where the tree splits and forms a “V” shape, place 1 end of the branch to hold it up as a support beam. If the tree doesn't have a split, use a log that ends in a “V” shape and lean it against a tree so the branch is supported by the tree. If you have rope or twine, lash the branch to the tree to secure it even more. Form a horizontal frame with the main branch by inserting the other end in the split of a nearby tree. Make sure the branch is firmly held in place by shaking it a little. Gather a bunch of branches that are long enough to be propped up against the main branch of your shelter. Think about forming ribs with the branches. Try to keep them as close together as you can. Try to use dry or fresh branches rather than damp or rotting ones. Once you've formed the structure of your shelter, use smaller, leafy branches, brush, or leaves to create a layer of insulation that will help retain heat and provide cover from the wind and rain. Lay the leaves and small branches over the frame in order of decreasing size to create a thick layer.  Add layers of insulation until you can't find any holes in it and add as many layers as you can to help keep the shelter warm. If you have a tarp, drape it over the frame of your...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca una zona seca y plana entre dos árboles con una división entre sus ramas. Encuentra una rama de 3 metros (10 pies) de largo y 8 a 15 cm (3 a 6 pulgadas) de ancho. Introduce un extremo de la rama en la división de uno de los árboles. Coloca el otro extremo de la rama en la división del otro árbol. Apoya las ramas sobre la rama principal para formar la estructura del refugio. Coloca ramas y hojas arriba de las ramas para formar una capa de aislamiento. Usa hojas para preparar una cama en el interior del refugio.


Look around the attic or the area where you've heard a squirrel scratching about and find out where it came in. If you find more than one hole, plug all but the main one, so that the squirrel has only one way to enter and exit. You'll set up the trap at this entry point.  Block the entry points by securing pieces of hardware cloth around the holes using a staple gun.     It's best to do this in mid-morning, when the squirrel will probably be outside finding food. If you can wait until the high heat of mid-summer to squirrel-proof your attic, you may not even have to set up a trap. Attics get too hot for squirrels at this time of year, so you can block all the entry points, including the main one, while the squirrels are away. Before you trap and release the squirrel, it's important to find out if there are babies in the picture. Mother squirrels commonly take shelter in attics when they're about to give birth, and chances are high that there's a nest somewhere in your walls or rafters. A typical squirrel nest will have 3-5 babies. If you trap the mother squirrel without handling the babies first, they'll die. Aside from being inhumane, leaving the babies to die will create a bad smell in your home.  If you've looked everywhere for the pup "squirrel" and you can't find them, feel carefully along the walls. When you come to a spot that feels much warmer than the rest of the wall, that's probably the nest. You're going to have to cut a hole there to remove the babies, then patch up the wall later. This takes some trouble, but it's a lot better than letting them die in the walls.     If you find babies, determine whether they are old enough to leave the nest and survive on their own. If they are still too young to walk, wait a few weeks before trapping the mother. Otherwise, the babies will starve in the nest. Start by securing a piece of hardware cloth to the inside wall of the main entry point, leaving a hole just large enough at the bottom for a squirrel to climb through. Bend the bottom of the hardware cloth...

Busca puntos de acceso a tu casa. Busca en el área las crías de las ardillas. Instala una puerta de una sola vía en el orifico de entrada principal. Si buscas atrapar a la ardilla, pon una jaula fuera de la puerta. Retira la jaula con cuidado y cierra la puerta.


Look around the room where you keep your dryer and search for a spot as close to the dryer’s exhaust port as possible. Select a spot made from material that you can cut through, like plaster, wood, vinyl, or aluminum. Remember to check both sides of the wall to make sure there are no obstructions on either end. To make sure the spot will actually work, test it by drilling a small, .25 in (0.64 cm) test hole through the material. If the drill makes it from one end of the spot to the other without running into trouble, you’ve found a good location. If it did not, cover the hole with putty and try again. If you’re drilling through stucco or brick veneer, make sure to use a hammer drill fitted with a masonry bit. Once you’re set on a location, place the pipe portion of your vent hood over the center of the test hole and trace the outside using a pencil. Make sure to repeat this process on both the inside and outside of your house. Using the same drill as earlier, create a series of small holes around the vent hood template. Then, stick a cold chisel into each hole and hit the back of the chisel with a hammer, breaking the material. Take out the material and, if you’re getting rid of stucco, make sure to remove the wire mesh backing as well. Repeat this until you reveal the wood frame beneath. Pick a saw that has a diameter .25 in (0.64 cm) larger than your template, then place it directly over the test hole. Saw slowly, tilting the tool as necessary until you’ve cut about halfway through the wall. Then, go to the other side and repeat the process. If necessary, remove any insulation from the newly formed hole. If your hood’s cap extension is not long enough to fit through the entire hole, attach a piece of dryer vent hose to the back and cover the seal with foil tape. Then, go outside and push the smaller end of the vent hood through the new opening. Press the hood firmly against the wall, then secure all 4 corners with screws. Finally, go back inside and apply caulk around the entire vent hood using a caulking...

Look at a light source (preferably natural lighting) through the lenses and inspect if there is any potential residue from the soap or the grime that you were originally set out to clean. You should see nothing but water droplets on the lenses. Avoid wiping the water off with any paper towels or kitchen cloths. Opt for a clean microfiber cloth.If using paper towels, do not rub the lenses. Instead, lightly dab the residue water droplets, allowing the paper to absorb them. Do this to avoid water marks.  If you don't have a microfiber cloth, use a clean cotton cloth. It's vital that the alternative to a microfiber cloth is a clean cotton cloth. Any other material could hold risks of severely scratching the lenses!   any cloth treated with fabric softener is not a good idea because it often leaves smudges.

Look at art pieces and engage with what you see. Try to take your time with several pieces. As you look at these art objects, try to comprehend what makes them special and individual. This should take time. Art appreciation is about contemplation.  Engage with each art object with a different lens. A painting is different from a photograph and vice-versa. You should not look at a contemporary work in the same way that you would look at a classical one.  Therefore, a contemporary oil painting deserves a different way of seeing than an oil painting from three hundred years ago. Remember that periods matter, as do movements. Take a tour. The guide will tell you important details about significant pieces of artwork. Listen carefully, even if you have seen the piece before, you might find out a novel fact about the artwork or the artist. See if they have take-away guides. These can also give you vital information about the museum’s collection. Immerse yourself in both contemporary and classic literature. Fiction can make you more empathetic by showing you the perspectives of other people. Start with classic literature. For example, Plutarch’s Lives is a compendium of stories about Greek and Roman men who lived interesting lives. Each story examines both the positive and negative qualities of these men. Observe the characters in these stories, and absorb the lessons in these tales. Philosophy will give you the tools to discuss questions about morality and free will. By reading philosophy books, you will be able to examine your own life and thought more clearly. This can aid in decision-making. Read foundational works of philosophy. Start with Plato’s Republic. This fundamental work of philosophy consists of dialogues between Socrates and his students as they attempt to figure out what the perfect society would look like. As they design their hypothetical city, they discourse on free will, morality, and belief. When you read these books, make sure to keep a notepad handy so you can scribble down notes about the...

Look at both sides of the window, interior and exterior.  Make sure it is a window that is meant to be opened. Some new office and home windows are not meant to be opened. If there are no hinges or the window is a single pane with nowhere to slide, it likely does not open. Make sure that the window is not nailed or screwed shut for security or energy conservation reasons. Check for any staples around the interior of the window where plastic sheeting may have been fastened. Carefully remove them with needle-nose pliers. Make sure any locks are disengaged. Look to see if the window frame has been recently painted. Decide which direction the window is supposed to open: up, outward or sideways. Removing dried paint that collected between the window and frame will free the window and allow it to be opened. Use a razor knife to cut along the edge of the window and the frame. Cut across all four sides of the window. You may need to check the exterior of the window in addition to the inside to make sure that it isn’t painted shut on both sides. Wriggle the knife back and forth to loosen any dried paint between the window and the frame. Go around the entire edge of the window to loosen all sides. Use a wood block to cushion the blows from the hammer and prevent making dents in the wood of the window. Be careful to hit gently so as not to break the window. Hammer the wood portion of the window and not the glass. Try to loosen the window one side at a time. Then try to push the window down as if you were closing it. If it moves, make sure the window is straight in its frame and slowly attempt to open it.  Push each corner to see if there is any movement. Press on the window gently to open it a little at a time. Place a small block of wood on the window frame to give your pry bar more leverage. Gently force the window up with the pry bar.  Reposition the pry bar along the bottom edge of the window to lift both sides of the window. Using a pry bar may damage the wood of the window or window frame, use this method very...

Look at its chest for movement, listen for breathing sounds, and put your cheek near its face to feel for breathing. If the puppy is gasping or breathing very weakly or irregularly, treat it as if it is not breathing at all.  When a puppy does not immediately begin to cry after birth, there is a good chance that it may not be breathing. Breech birth puppies—those that are born feet-first, rather than head-first—are more likely to face danger than those birthed normally. Even a puppy born normally may not immediately begin breathing, though. Any puppy that does not begin breathing within a few seconds of birth should be given emergency CPR. That way, you can focus on immediately starting CPR procedures. The veterinarian can relay guidance over the phone. If you are the only person around, perform emergency CPR for at least 5 minutes (or until the puppy responds) before contacting the veterinarian. Once the puppy starts breathing, call the veterinarian for advice on continued care. For a newborn puppy that isn’t breathing (regardless of whether it has a pulse), start by clearing the airway and doing emergency breathing, then move onto chest compressions if there is no pulse. For an older puppy, your first move will depend on the specific circumstances:  If the non-newborn puppy has no pulse, plan to start with chest compressions. If the older puppy has a pulse but isn’t breathing, you’ll start by clearing the airway and giving rescue breathing.

Look at the cardigan and locate the bottom corner on the right panel. Join the yarn to this last row. You'll be working the edge around the cardigan. the hemline, if desired. If you'd like your cardigan to have a professional look, chain 2 and double crochet every stitch around the hemline. Keep in mind that you'll need to crochet along the bottom of the front panel, across the side seam, over the back panel, across the other side seam, and over the other front panel. Continue to double-crochet stitch along the edge so you complete 8 rows. The ribbed edge will add about 2 inches (5.1 cm) of fabric to the existing edges of the cardigan. Crochet 1 double-crochet stitch into each stitch on the side of the front panels. Keep double-crocheting around the neck and down onto the side of the other front panel. Finish off and weave in the ends to create a professional-looking ribbed edge. Remember to work about 8 rows and turn the work after each row.

Look at the elements in the chemical formula for the solute you’re using. List the atomic mass for each element in the solute since atomic and molar mass are the same. Add together the atomic masses from your solute to find the total molar mass. Label the final measurement in g/mol.  For example, if your solute is potassium hydroxide (KOH), find the atomic masses for potassium, oxygen, and hydrogen and add them together. In this case molar mass = 39 +16 + 1 = 56 g/mol. Molarity is used mainly in chemistry when you know the chemical makeup of the solute you’re using. Find the mass of the solute you’re adding into your solution using a lab scale if you need to. Be sure to subtract the mass of the container so you have an accurate reading. Divide the mass you found by the molar mass so you can find how many moles of the solute you’re using. Label your answer with “mol.”  For example, if you want to find the number of moles in 25 g of potassium hydroxide (KOH), then the equation is mol = (25 g)/(56 g/mol) = 0.45 mol Convert the mass of your solute to grams if it isn’t already listed in grams. Moles are used to represent the number of atoms in the solution. Find the volume of the solvent before you mix in the solute. Use a flask or a graduated cylinder to find the measurement if you aren’t given it. If your measurement is in milliliters, then divide it by 1,000 to convert it to liters.  In this example, if you’re using 400 mL of water, then divide it by 1,000 to convert it to liters, which is 0.4 L. If your solvent is already listed in liters, then you can skip this step. Set up your equation so the molarity M = mol/V, where mol is the number of moles of the solute and V is the volume of the solvent. Solve the equation and label the answer M. In this example, M = (0.45 mol)/(0.4 L) = 1.125 M.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Suma las masas atómicas del soluto, para calcular la masa molar. Divide la masa del soluto entre la masa molar, para determinar el número de moles. Convierte el volumen de la solución a litros. Divide los moles de soluto entre el volumen de la solución en litros.


Look at the expiration date. As of 2009, gift cards can't expire within five years of the date they were issued. If it is older than five years ago, you can try to redeem it, but it may have already expired. ” You will see several websites that will help you find out your gift card balance if you don't already know it. Select your e-commerce retailer from the list and follow their link to the customer service line or website that will help you find your balance. It can be $2.50 or more per month. If your gift card is depleted, it is best to use it up before the next month's fee can be charged. Start shopping. Keep your balance in mind as you shop. With most large retailers, you can redeem your gift card through an application, website or retail location. Click “Redeem” on your app to enter the coupon code on the back of the card. Click “Redeem Gift Card” or “Enter Coupon Code” before you pay with a credit card. It should adjust your balance to reflect only the remaining charges after the gift card is used. Some gift cards will not apply the balance to your shipping charges. Enter your shipping address and billing address, and then complete the order. You should also receive an order confirmation number at your email address.

Look at the new displayed decimal portion to the right of the calculated value that you obtained from converting the decimal into minutes.  This answer will have become the seconds.  This may even become a decimal itself, but it will be far closer to a real number than what the decimal form showed us. Be sure to include your units, which for this problem, should then be in degrees, minutes and seconds.  If this object is a vector, include the direction.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Continúa desde donde se quedó la porción superior (si quieres avanzar más en tus cálculos). Multiplica la parte decimal de la porción que obtuviste anteriormente por 60. Escribe este número a la derecha de la porción de minutos.


Look at the range of numbers you're trying to add together. If you'd like to use a formula to sum the integers, ensure that the numbers progress in a constant amount.  For example, the series, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 is a series and so is 17, 19, 21, 23, 25. You wouldn't be able to use 5, 6, 9, 11, 14 because the progression isn't constant. In order to use a formula to find the sum of 1 to n{\displaystyle n}, choose the largest integer to be n{\displaystyle n}.  For example, if you're trying to add all of the integers from 1 to 100, n{\displaystyle n} will be 100 because it's the largest integer in the sequence. As a reminder, integers are whole numbers, so n{\displaystyle n} cannot be a decimal, fraction, or negative number. In order to sum the integers from your starting number to n{\displaystyle n}, determine how many terms you're adding. For example, if you're adding the first 200 integers, you'll have 200 plus 1 to equal 201 integers. If you're adding the first integers from 1 to 12, you'll have 12 plus 1 to equal 13 terms. You may be asked to find the sum of a range of integers between two integers. If you're summing exclusively, you'll need to subtract 1 from your n{\displaystyle n}. For example, if you're finding the sum of the integers from 1 to 100 exclusively, subtract 1 from 100 to get 99.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Identifica la sucesión aritmética. Define el valor de n{\displaystyle n} en la sucesión. Determina cuántos enteros vas a sumar. Decide si vas a sumar en forma exclusiva.


Look at the space where your bed will go, and measure it with a tape ruler. Make sure there is at least a few feet of space to the walls and any furniture in the room. The size of the bed will depend on the size of the room.  Another way to get an accurate measure if you already have a mattress, is to place the mattress on the floor of your room. By doing this, you will see exactly how much space the mattress itself will take up. This will be incredibly helpful in choosing what type of bed frame to buy.   Common bed frame sizes are twin, full, queen, and king. A twin bed frame will fit in a space of 39 inches by 70 inches (99 to 178 cm). For a full bed frame, you will generally need a space measuring 54 by 75 inches (137 by 190 cm). 60 by 80 inches (152 by 203 cm) is a large enough space for a queen bed frame. A king bed frame will require 72 by 84 inches (183 by 213 cm).   These sizes vary between the EU and United States. You should note this in case you buy the bed frame or mattress from a retailer in an EU country. Check the height of the mattress and bed sets you are considering. Then, determine if you need a high or low bed frame. So, if you have a mattress that’s four inches high, then you might want to consider a high bed frame. Using a low bed frame with this mattress might lead to your bed standing too close to the floor. You don’t want the bed frame to be so high that it is difficult to get in and out. At the same time, you don’t want to get a bed frame that is so low that your mattress is touching the ground. Measure how tall you are.  A bed frame that is too small will be uncomfortable, because you will consistently be banging your head or feet when you get into it. Use your height to decide if you need a bed frame with a foot board. If you don’t, you can buy minimal bed frames in both wood and metal. This type of bed frame has wooden slats that hold your mattress up. If you are in the market for a smaller frame, consider buying a platform bed frame.  With some beds, you may not need a box spring...

Look at your hat’s care label to see if it has specific washing instructions. Hats made from cotton, cotton blends, and synthetic fabrics like acrylic are the most likely to be machine-washable. Wool hats can often be washed in a machine, as well. If the label has been cut off and you can’t determine the material, you’re probably better off hand-washing your beanie. Beanies, particularly those made with wool, can be stretched by the motion of the washing machine. To prevent this from happening, use a netted or mesh wash bag. Depending on the type, zip it up or cinch the drawstring to keep the hat securely inside.  You can put the beanie in a  pillowcase if you don’t have wash bag. Just make sure to knot the top of the pillowcase before throwing it into the machine. It’s best to wash the beanie as part of a larger load of similarly-colored clothes, which will keep the hat from being tossed around an empty washing machine and becoming stretched or matted. Add the detergent into the exterior drawer of your machine rather than pouring it directly on the beanies to be washed. This could cause the hats to absorb most of the soap and result in an uneven wash. If you’re washing a wool hat, consider using a wool-specific detergent. Intense agitation can cause beanies to lose their shape, so stick with a hand wash or delicate setting on your washing machine, which uses a gentler spin to clean the clothes. Typically, delicate or hand-wash settings will be programmed to run with cold water. But if your washing machine doesn’t offer one of these settings, make sure you’ve selected a temperature setting of 85 °F (29 °C) or less. Hot water can potentially shrink your beanie. Lay your beanie flat on a dry towel or a mesh drying rack in a well-ventilated area. If it’s still soaking wet, you can roll it up in a dry towel to remove the excess water before lay it flat to dry completely. Avoid using a hair dryer on your beanie, which can be hot enough to cause shrinkage. This will ensure your hat returns to its original shape....

Look at your spouse lovingly, and tell your spouse that you love them. Say it often, and find new ways to say it. The wife of the Prophet, 'Hazrat Ayesha, would ask him: "How is your love for me?" And he would reply, : "Like the rope's knot," meaning that it was strong and secure.  She would ask him, "How is the knot?" and he would reply, "In the same condition!"  Leave little love notes around the house. Send your spouse a loving text when you miss them. This is a simple act but one with massive impact! Kiss your spouse when you greet them, and return their kisses when they are feeling affectionate. The Prophet says that before intercourse, you should kiss and speak to one another. Spend time with your spouse doing what they like as well as what you like! This is the best way to nurture the marriage and become closer to each other. The Prophet initiated games with his spouses and was attentive to their pleasure. Thank them for all the nice things they do. Tell them what you like about them, and give them compliments when they excel or achieve a goal.  If compliments come naturally to you, give them out freely. If they don't, teach yourself to give compliments at regular intervals. For instance, when your spouse is wearing a new outfit you can tell them that they look beautiful. Thank your spouse for good things they do for you and your family, but be sure to praise them for things they do for themself as well. Tell your spouse you are proud of them when they accomplish something. You may praise meals they make, promotions they earn, sticky situations they mediate, or art they create, for instance. Invent sweet names for your partner, and you will find them more responsive and fond of you. Only use terms of endearment that your partner enjoys. The Prophet called his wife 'Ayesha "Humayra," meaning "rosy," as she had rosy cheeks. Adhere to Islamic etiquette of marriage and sex. Have a healthy intimate life with your spouse. Share your desires and encourage your spouse to share with you. Be generous with halal...

Look before you buy to make sure that the condoms you're about to purchase haven't expired. Do not purchase or use expire condoms.   Expiration dates should have a month and year. Expired condoms weaken over time and may easily break. Do not use an expired condom. Keep your condoms in a cool, dry place, away from heat and sunshine. Also, don't shove them in your wallet where they can be crumpled and bent. Never place condoms in the back pocket of your pants. Sitting on condoms may damage them. The temperature in your car may range from hot, to cold, to humid and this can cause damage to condoms. Never reuse a condom. Repeated use can cause breakage and leftover bodily fluids may also leak out. Throw away the condom after you use it and get a new one the next time you need one.

Look beyond the immediate and into the future in order to get a clear vision of where you see yourself in the future. Make sure that your plan for the day lines up with your short-term and long-term goals for your company.  Strategic working doesn’t have to involve outlandish and complex plans. The most important thing to do is to simply connect your thoughts to outcomes in your work.  Try to schedule regular brainstorming sessions with yourself and your colleagues. Put some ideas down on paper to help capture your thoughts. Think about what you want to accomplish in your work in the future, both long-term and short-term. These goals should be specific to your future vision. In addition, they should be measurable and time-specific. For example, if you envision enlarging your small, local delivery business, then you may set a specific goal of expanding your delivery area into three more counties, owning a large fleet of delivery trucks, having 200 employees, and/or running a shipping/packing warehouse. Gather all of the data you need to determine what it will take to accomplish your goals. Each goal could have numerous strategies that will achieve the goal but with different costs, schedules, and resources. You should consider strategic elements like what materials you will need and how much time you think it will take to achieve these goals. For example, if your goal involves expanding your delivery business, you should consider how much it will cost to purchase more delivery vehicles, how you might increase your marketing to expand into new areas, and how much time/money it will take to do accomplish these things. Write each goal out, including the method(s) you will use toward accomplishment, costs, resource requirements, delegation of responsibilities, and the time it will take to achieve the goal.  Consider which goals you will need to address first – which are more important, or which might need to be accomplished before others can be tackled. Consider immediacy, importance, and ease of execution. Some...

Look closely at the type of advertising they focus on, the companies they work for and the brands they produce. Note any similarities with your past work. A resume does not need to be an exhaustive list of your past jobs, but rather, each job should directly support your claim to have enough accomplishments to be a good candidate. There are 3 main styles of resumes. It is best to decide which 1 will work in your benefit before starting to create your resume.  A chronological resume highlights career experience. If you have been working as an advertising professional for a long period of time, then this is your best choice. Make sure to include the employer, the location, websites, duration of employment and a list of accomplishments for each job. A functional resume highlights skills that have been acquired through a number of educational and professional experiences. People who have recently starting advertising or who have switched jobs a number of times can group their information according to the skills that are required in the job posting. List the jobs, internships, classes or skills you gained and where you got this experience. A combination resume uses both concepts. This type of resume is best suited to people who have acquired and fostered special skills. The sections are usually organized by experience or skills, with the jobs listed chronologically underneath each section.

Look directly into your boyfriend’s eyes for a few seconds. If he returns the gaze, he probably wants to kiss you, too. Looking into each other’s eyes creates intimacy and helps people feel connected. Drop your gaze from his eyes to his lips slowly and lean in just a little bit. This simple body language will cue him into your next move. Don’t be rough or yank on him, just gently pull him closer. You can put your hands around his neck or on his chest. He may put his hands on your waist. Do whatever feels comfortable for you both, rather than worrying about what you “should” do. Be mindful of his body language at this point. If he stiffens up or tries to pull away from you, he may not be feeling comfortable. Save the kiss for another time. Turning your head will prevent your noses from knocking together which could make this intimate moment awkward. Keep your lips soft and barely puckered. Don’t press too hard; use minimal pressure. Again, try not to think too much about the motions. Let them come naturally. A gentle kiss should be short and sweet. If he leans back in after you both pulled away a bit, then he probably wants to kiss you again. If you’re okay with that, lean in and give him another kiss.  Don't force another kiss on him, especially if he doesn't lean in for a second one. If you don't won't want a second kiss, give a gentle sign, such as leaning back, pulling away, or turning your face to the side. Shoving him away is not a good option.

Míralo a los ojos y luego sus labios. Tira de él suavemente hacia ti. Inclina la cabeza ligeramente y presiona tus labios sobre los suyos. Sepárate después de un par de segundos.


Look down on the engine to figure out which cylinder is closest to the front of the engine. Note the circular cylinders and the timing belt on the engine’s front. The first cylinder is on the rightmost ones in most engines. Once you have it, put the test compressor’s hose into the spark plug slot, turning it clockwise by hand until it locks in place. Keep in mind that compression testing kits often come with multiple adapter hoses. Use one that fits well in your vehicle’s engine. Check the sizing label on the hose and match it to the size of the spark plugs. If you’re testing a diesel engine, make sure you’re using a gauge designed for diesel since it will have a higher compression tolerance. Then, check the end of the gauge for a metal connector that fits on the end of the hose adapter. Your gauge may also have a ring on it that needs to be lifted as you fit it on the hose. Otherwise, it’s as simple as plugging one into the other.  Make sure the gauge is well-connected to the hose. If it feels loose, it will affect the test. Keep in mind that some compression gauges plug directly into the engine and don’t require a hose. However, most gauges you will come across make use of a hose adapter. Turn the key as far as it will go in the ignition, then release it. Do this about 4 or 5 times without shutting off the vehicle at all. The engine will be running throughout the entire process. When you’re done, check the compression gauge to get the test result.  The needle on the gauge should stop moving and point to a number. If it doesn’t stay in place, crank the engine for up to 10 seconds. Ask a friend to sit in the driver’s seat and crank the engine for you. That way, you can keep an eye on the compression gauge. If your vehicle has a remote starter, you could also use it to avoid having to get behind the wheel. Unscrew the hose adapter by hand, then move it onto the second cylinder. Keep doing it until you have a result for all of the engine’s cylinders. Be sure to record each number on a piece of paper so you can...

Look first at competitors and other companies in the same type of business.  Note the style and tone of the ones that stand out. If you have a business you really look up to, such as a leading national corporation, look at their profile. What do they do that stands out to you? Incorporate this style into your own. Before you sit down to write the profile, make sure you have the most recent numbers you can find. Prospective clients aren’t interested in your performance from five years ago. They want to know how you will deliver now. Get your staff to update you on these details regularly so you have to do less leg work when it comes time to write a new profile. Most times, you want people to read your profile as potential customers. Make sure they read all the way through by keeping it short and engaging. Show you respect their time and you don’t want to waste it. Short business profiles also indicate that you don’t need a lot of flowery language and decorations to show you are the best. Let the numbers speak for themselves. For example, don't list every client you've had in the last 15 years. Keep the list short by including only the top 10 or so with high profiles. But make sure the language indicates they are not your only accounts! You will inevitably use terms that people in your industry understand, but a fourth grader might not. However, don’t let the profile become an advertisement for your vocabulary. At the same time, avoid meaningless, vague statements. Experts in your industry will know fluff when they see it.  Here are examples of poor wording:  ”Simulated annealing and RPCs have the necessary infrastructure to interface with our overseas servers.” ”Our company optimizes synergy, productivity, and innovation while diminishing losses.”   Here is an example of a targeted statement: ”We store data safely in our servers at home and in our international offices.” Some companies and individuals let their creativity get away from them by going for excessively showy visual appeal.

Look for a "lobe and sinus" pattern on the oak leaves--the blades of the leaf and the indentations in between.  The lobes of the leaf are the rounded and pointed protrusions that give the leaf its shape. Think of these lobes like "leaf fingers", or extensions of the stem. Different species of oak may have either pointed or rounded lobes. Red oaks tend to have pointed lobes, and white oaks tend to have rounded lobes. Between each lobe is a sinus, which is an indentation in the leaf that accentuates the lobes. Sinuses may be variably deep, shallow, wide, or narrow. Oak leaf shapes can vary across a single tree. You may need to inspect a number of leaves to make an accurate classification.  If you can't tell the species from the leaves alone, consider other characteristics, such as the acorn, the bark, and the location--both in terms of terrain and geographic location. Oak leaves grow in a spiral pattern along the branch, meaning that a fan of leaves will rarely appear "flat" or parallel in the way that, say, palm fronds grow. Oak branches tend to divert from a straight line, and they do not have opposing growth on the branches: imagine that you're looking at a fork with multiple branches originating in the same place. Most oak tree leaves sport a deep green hue during the summer months, but transform into red and brown colors for the fall.  The oak tree is one of the most colorful fall trees, which is another reason they are popular in many types of landscaping today. Some oak leaves also emerge in a red or pink shade in early spring, but quickly change to their standard green color by summer. Oaks tend to lose their leaves late in the season, and younger trees or branches will hold their dead brown leaves all the way into spring. They will begin to fall when new leaves start to grow in the spring. A telltale sign of an oak in the winter is a tree with dead brown leaves. Oak leaves have a longer decay rate and will stay around longer than most other leaves. You can usually find them near the base of an oak...

Look for a chemise, the long shift worn as the base layer for female Renaissance clothing. You can forgo or supplement modern underwear with this garment.  A half size chemise is like a loose blouse, while a full size is like a long, loose nightgown. Substitute a long shirt or nightgown in a light, neutral color if you can’t acquire an authentic chemise.  Forgo a modern bra if you plan to wear a traditional corset or structured bodice, as these will provide support for your chest and be more accurate to the time period if you’re going for full authenticity. Cinch a corset or a pull on a structured bodice over your chemise to achieve the narrow hourglass shape that was popular in all classes for women of the Renaissance period. Find modern and more vintage styles available widely in stores.  You can wear a corset or bodice as the main outer garment for your upper body, or you can use one as support and structure for a top and skirt or dress that you pull over it. Make sure any very fitted garment like a corset is not worn to the level of discomfort or for a very long period of time. Wear a skirt or dress that reaches the floor or your ankles for a typical Renaissance look. Wear a gown or dress over your chemise and corset, or a separate skirt to complement your corset or bodice.  Avoid any ruffles, adornments, or patterns on skirts. For more volume, add crinoline or other layers underneath your main skirt. Wear two or more skirts layered over one another and tuck the the top layer up into the waistband at the sides for a typical peasant look and shape.  The costume for a woman of nobility would include a more formal and elaborate gown, made of velvet or silk and including a very full hoop skirt or “farthingale” underneath. Don a hat and belt and opt for jewelry with natural metal or stones. Remember that you want to keep the jewelry authentic if you aim for a period costume.  Go for light or no makeup, unless you are achieving a nobility look, in which case pale powder and dramatic rouge are acceptable....

Look for a cleaning kit that is suitable for your type of vehicle. Each kit should come with a canister of fuel injector cleaner and a hose that attaches to the fuel injector and fuel rail. For the best results, opt for a cleaning fluid that contains polyetheramine (PEA), which will dissolve thick carbon deposits more effectively than other ingredients.  Most fuel injector cleaning kits can be used for any type of vehicle, but you should read the package or ask a store clerk to make sure. You can purchase a cleaning kit in an auto store or online. Full kits usually cost just under $100 each. You can also purchase the items in fuel injector cleaner kits separately. Cleaners that contain polyisobutene (PIB) will prevent new deposits but will not remove existing ones. Cleaners containing polyisobutylene amine (PIBA) will remove and prevent buildup, but they are milder and less effective than PEA cleaning fluids. Different types of engines have different layouts, so your fuel injectors may be difficult to find. Take a look at your vehicle's manual to determine where the fuel injectors are located. You can also look up your vehicle online to find this information. The fuel injectors will be located under the hood of the car. Brace the fuel pump, which should be located on the side of the engine. Gently pull out the fuel injectors to detach them from the pump. Once they are removed, connect the fuel return line to the fuel pump so the gas inside it returns to the tank while you're cleaning the injectors.  You can also insert a U tube to funnel the gas to the tank. Follow the vehicle-specific instructions in your vehicle's manual if you aren't sure how to disconnect the fuel injectors properly. Locate the fuel pressure regulator if your vehicle has one and look for the vacuum line attached to it. Brace the vacuum line just above where it connects to the regulator. Gently pull it out to disconnect it.  Check your vehicle manual to see if you have to do this step. The regulator will usually be located just behind the...

Look for a gentle, non-abrasive, plant-oil based product that's labeled as "non-comedogenic." This means the cleanser won't clog your pores, a major cause of acne. Many dermatologists recommend using glycerin, grapeseed and sunflower oils. You should also avoid cleansers that contain alcohol. Alcohol dries, irritates, and can damage your skin because it strips away your skin's natural oils.  Don't be afraid to use an oil to clean your face. Non-comedogenic oils can be used to dissolve your skin's oils. Wet your face with lukewarm water and gentle use your fingers to apply cleanser, rags or scrubs maybe too abrasive.  Resist the temptation to scrub the face, pat dry with a soft towel, and apply a moisturizer.  Limit washing to twice a day and after sweating.  Cetaphil is an example of a gentle, reputable cleanser that you may consider using. Apply the cleanser to your skin using your fingertips. Don't use a washcloth or a sponge since these could irritate your skin and worsen the acne. Gently rub the cleanser into your skin in a circular motion, but take care not to scrub. Scrubbing and exfoliating your skin can cause tiny tears or scars. Wash your face twice a day. Pat your face dry with a soft clean cloth. Never pick, pop, squeeze or touch your pimples. You could cause flareups, scarring, and delay healing. There are many skincare products and treatments on the market, but not all of them are gentle on your skin. Avoid irritating skincare products like astringents, toners, and exfoliants. You shouldn't use products containing salicylic acid or alpha hydroxy acids which dry your skin. Be wary of over-the-counter treatments like dermabrasions. Only trained dermatologists should perform certain skincare treatments to prevent skin damage. Makeup can make blind pimples and acne worse. It can clog the pores or cause irritation probably because of the chemicals or the mixtures of chemicals used. You should be in the habit of washing your skin every day by taking a bath or a shower. If you sweat a lot, wash more...
