If you want to improve your writing, then ask the teacher or a tutor for extra help. Your teacher will appreciate that you took the initiative to ask for help. Being proactive about your grades will work in your favor. Take notes on what your teacher is saying so you can reference them later. Pay particular attention to anything the teacher writes on the board or shows on an overhead projector. Don’t play games on your phone or check social media. It is rude and will irritate your teacher. Maintaining eye contact and putting down your phone shows your teacher that you are listening. Get a planner or agenda to keep track of your assignments and due dates across classes. Use your planner also to schedule extracurricular activities around your scheduled homework times. Give yourself reasonable deadlines to meet them, and check them off when done. Put these tasks in the order of most important to least important, and work on them in this order. Having them prioritized like this will help you with your homework time management. You may find that you feel a sense of accomplishment when you check off finished tasks. This can help motivate you to continue working. Seek out friends in your English class and set up a study or reading group. If your teacher allows it, share your essays with your classmates ahead of time and ask for comments/feedback from them. Just make sure that you don't copy their comments or plagiarize their work when you edit your paper afterwards. Almost every high school English class will require you to write essays. The requirements for these assignments will vary by teacher, so you will want to ask your teacher specifically what they are looking for. How many pages do they want your essay to be? Do they want citations at the end? Do you get to pick your topic or will a topic be assigned to you? Which of the three standard types of essays (expository/argumentative, narrative, or descriptive) are you writing?  For an expository or argumentative essay assignment you will be asked to investigate a...

If you want to incorporate some sweets into your diet while you're pregnant, it's important to make sure you're only eating them in moderation.  If you eat them too often you may gain unnecessary weight.  Determine what "moderation" means to you.  Is it one sweet a week?  Is it two sweets a week? It's a good idea to give yourself a definitive and specific rule to follow so that you don't end up eating too many sweets.  The more specific you are the more likely you are to follow your definition of moderation and not go overboard. Make sure your definition of moderation fits in with your overall guidance and dietary advice provided by your OB/GYN.  You want to be able to enjoy sweets, but not have them effect your health, your baby's health or your weight. When you're incorporating more foods that may be higher in calories or sugar, it's important to stick to appropriate portion sizes.  This is what will help keep the overall calories in check.  Always read the food label on sweets that come in a package, box or tub.  This will give you the serving size, calories, fat, sugar and other nutrient information.  Use this information to make sure the treat you plan on eating fits into your overall meal plan. If you're purchasing a "single-serving" treat, ensure the nutrition panel reads "one serving".  Sometimes a small bag may seem like one serving, but may be 2 servings instead. If you're unsure of the serving size (for example, if someone brings in cupcakes to work), aim to eat about 1/2 cup or about 4 oz.  This is about 1/2 of the size of your fist. Another trick is to split desserts and treats with your friends, family or husband.  This is an easy way to enjoy desserts that are portion controlled. When you're pregnant, you need to be vigilant with your overall nutrition to make sure you're consuming adequate amounts of every nutrient to support your pregnancy.  Use your sweet treats to your advantage and choose a treat that also has nutritional benefits.  Dark chocolate.  This tasty sweet is full of wonderful...

If you want to interpret a dream, you need to keep a dream diary. Dreams fade from memory fast. Recording your dreams each morning can help you remember important details.  Keep a notebook and pen by your bedside table so you have quick access to your dream diary first thing in the morning. People tend to forget details of their dreams quickly after waking up.  Record as many details as possible. Do not just focus on the water but other aspects of the dream surrounding it. What happened in the dream? Who were you with? What the location like? How long did the dream go on for? Oftentimes, dreams provide valuable insights into feelings you are consciously or unconsciously repressing. What recurring thoughts have you been having in day-to-day life? What matters take up the most of your attention? If you're thinking a lot about your job and career, the dream might be about that. If you're preoccupied with a romantic relationship, your dream may be telling you something about your relationship. The feelings you have during your dreams are just as important as the details you remember. How were you feeling during the dream? Were you happy, sad, excited, stressed? Did your feelings remain the same throughout the dream or did they change as the dream progressed? As you consider your dream, go through and dissect all the images involved. Consider what feeling these images provoked and any personal meaning they hold for you. Say you had a dream you were floating in the middle of a clear lake on a sofa. Did you recognize the lake in your dream? Was it any particular lake or just a random body of water? What was the color of the sofa? Did it have any personal meaning to you? Was it a sofa you recognized from somewhere or just a standard bit of furniture?

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lleva un diario. Presta atención a tus preocupaciones cotidianas. Anota los sentimientos que experimentes en tus sueños. Analiza minuciosamente todos los elementos de tu sueño.


If you want to introduce people to each other, then it's important to get the timing right. You don't want to end up having blundered before the introductions have even begun by introducing the wrong people to each other or by interrupting a fantastic conversation just to get the details out of the way. Here's what you need to know:  If you find yourself in conversation with two people who don't know each other, try to introduce them as soon as possible. This can get a little tricky. Let's say you're with your college roommate, Amanda, when you run into your friend from high school, Jake, who launches into a story about a mutual friend. Poor Amanda will be standing there feeling awkward and bored while Jake rambles on. It's important to find an opening so that you can include Amanda into the conversation. You should avoid introducing someone to people who are in the middle of a serious conversation. Maybe you're at a work event with a client, and you've been eager to introduce him to your boss. While this is an important introduction that should be made, you should avoid doing so if your boss seems to be entangled in a deep conversation with another person. You should wait for an opening, when your boss doesn't seem extremely absorbed; making introductions at the wrong time can lead people to not hit it off as well as they could. This is important to know because the person of lesser rank or authority should always be presented to the person of higher rank or authority. In general, in a social setting, gender is the "trump card" and determines the higher rank; women are always ranked over men, unless the man is significantly older than the woman. After that, age is the next determining factor; an older person ranks over a younger person, which can be a helpful distinction if both people are of the same gender. Here's what you need to know:  Your 70-year-old mother-in-law is of greater seniority than your brand new boyfriend. Great age takes precedence over most rank or authority, out of courtesy and respect....

If you want to keep a row of data visible at all times, even when you've scrolled down the sheet, you can freeze it. You can set this row to print on all pages as well, which can be very useful for spreadsheets that span multiple pages. See the next section for details. You can set Excel to freeze rows and columns so that they are always visible. To do this, you'll want to select the cell in the corner of the area you want to keep unlocked. For example, if you want to keep the top row and the first column locked on the screen, highlight cell B2. All columns to the left will be frozen, and all rows above will be frozen. This will lock the rows above your selected cell and the columns to the left of your selected cell. For example, if you had cell B2 selected, the top row and the first column will be locked on the screen. Create a visual contrast for this row by centering the text in these cells, applying bold text, adding a background color, or drawing a border under the cells. this can help the reader take notice of the header when reading the data on the sheet.

If you want to keep your relationship status secret for now, don’t change your status on social media. To the world of social media, you can pretend you are single so people won’t know things have changed. You should also avoid mentioning the person, talking to them too much, or posting on their account. Though you may be taking a lot of pictures with your new significant other, you shouldn’t post pictures with the person. Updating Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat with photos of you and your new partner on a date or cuddling will alert others to your new relationship. You shouldn’t post pictures of yourself with any obvious markers that you are with the other person. For example, don’t post pictures in the person’s house, wearing their clothes, or riding in their cars. Many people change their lock screen and phone background to a picture of their partner or of them and their partner. If you are trying to keep your relationship secret, avoid doing this. A picture of your secret partner is an obvious sign you are together. Consider keeping any photos of you and your significant other on a secret flash drive or in a password protected folder. This way, no one will accidentally catch a glimpse of your partner if you open your camera or gallery.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evita cambiar tu estado de relación en tus redes sociales. Evita publicar imágenes con tu pareja. Mantén neutral la pantalla de bloqueo y de fondo de tu celular.


If you want to lay a troubled spirit to rest, you should use this method.  Take a metal container with a tight-fitting lid and cover the bottom with a layer of soil taken from hallowed ground, such as a church or cemetery. Leave the container open at the location where you found the ghost. The sanctified soil will draw the spirit in. Once you have used your ghost-detection apparatus to confirm that the spirit has entered the container, slowly and gently replace the lid, then sprinkle a pinch of salt on top. Bury the container in hallowed ground. The candle method is good for trapping pesky spirits who are causing trouble around the home.  Take a large glass jar, open the lid and place a candle inside. At midnight, light the candle and place the jar in a central point at the haunted location. The ghost will be attracted by the energy emitted by the burning candle, but this energy will also trap the ghost inside the jar. Once you have confirmed the ghost's presence inside the jar, tightly replace the lip. The candle will burn out on its own. Keep the jar tightly sealed as long as you wish to hold the ghost captive. If the jar is opened or broken, the spirit will be released and might come to exact revenge on its captor!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa el método de la caja y el entierro. Usa el método de la vela.


If you want to learn how to make particular colors or create realistic-looking shading and shadows, consider watching some free online tutorials. Have your sketchpad and supplies handy so you can pause the video and practice as the instructor breaks it down.  Peruse the comment section on videos because it’s likely that other artists have left some tips and suggestions. Search for tutorials in any particular technique you want to learn. For instance, you might find some good lessons on composition, working with light, cubism, surrealism, or even creating 3-D effects. If you can think of it, the internet probably has it! If you’re a beginner, look to local community centers and libraries for beginning art courses. If you already have some intermediate or advanced skills, you might consider enrolling in a class offered at a local college or art institute.  Taking classes is a great way to meet other artists and get some constructive criticism. To find local instructors, classes, and workshops near you, go to https://artcantina.com/. Workbooks are a great way to start if you’re a beginner or looking to pick up a very specific skill like figure drawing or cartooning. This is a great option if you have a busy schedule because you can tackle each lesson at your own pace.  You can buy instruction books online or at most large bookstores. If you rent an instruction book from your local library, don’t draw in the book! Photocopy the practice pages so you can draw on those instead. If you’re a beginner, look for instruction books that have traceable practice sheets so you can get a feel for it before practicing on a canvas or sketchpad. Beware of the "paint or draw by number" format—it can help if you’re an absolute beginner, but it may also hinder your individual style. Great artists are unique! If you want to learn to draw or paint particular things (like people, animals, and landscapes) or work with certain materials (like oil paints, watercolor, and charcoal) join an online artist community. Peruse the forums for...

If you want to let someone down easy, timing and location matter. If you're seeking to let someone down in an empathetic matter, take some time to consider the proper location and timeframe to talk to them.  Face-to-face is ideal for difficult conversations. Humans evolved to pick up on non-verbal cues and signals that are reassuring during difficult conversations. An impromptu pat on the shoulder, for example, can reassure someone he or she is essentially lovable even if this one relationship did not work out. A look of sadness on your face can help your partner see you truly care about his or her feelings, despite the fact you feel the relationship should end.  If possible, choose to have the talk at a place where your significant other feels comfortable. Choose to stop by his or her apartment to talk, for example. It may feel uncomfortable for you but giving someone a slight sense of power during a difficult conversation can help him or her digest bad news.  If you anticipate a long conversation, try to choose a time where the conversation will not be cut short by external factors. Do not, for example, break up with your longterm boyfriend an hour before he has to leave for work. Instead, choose to stop by his place shortly after dinner on a weeknight. This will allow any lingering loose threads to be addressed. If you're letting someone down easy, you need to take full responsibility for your decision. Oftentimes, people feel it will be easier if their partner initiates the breakup. However, you are the one whose feelings have changed. It's your responsibility to start the breakup conversation. Trying to lead your partner to the conclusion, that you want to break up, through subtle cues is not only dishonest it can be confusing. Your partner may not get the message and begin to question him or herself as you subtly pull away. For example, if you become less physically affectionate in order to show your partner you're losing interest your partner might question his or her own attractiveness. If you want to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge el lugar y el momento apropiado. Toma toda la responsabilidad. Sé abierto y directo con tus sentimientos. Sé breve. Ofrécele tu amistad, si es posible.


If you want to let the other salad ingredients shine, try drizzling a little bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar over your next salad. The olive oil provides a nice subtle flavor, and the balsamic vinegar gives the salad a fresh and tangy kick. You can also shake a little salt and pepper onto your salad if you’d like. Salads don’t always have to include a dressing! A sauce or dip like hummus, guacamole, or tahini can add a creamy element to your salad. Try foregoing the dressing on your next salad and substituting a dip or spread instead. Even salsas can make great “dressings.”

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa aceite de oliva y vinagre balsámico para mantenerlo simple. Utiliza una salsa cremosa y poco tradicional en lugar del aderezo.


If you want to live in Canada, you must have a visa. This is an official government document that grants you permission to be in Canada. There are quite a few different visa classifications, which you must review online via Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). When searching for the right visa for you, you will need to assess your own career skills, qualifications, experience, and employment history and match those with the proper visa. The most popular visa program used by immigrants is the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. This employer-sponsored visa is used by Canadian employers who need to fill open positions at their companies after being unable to secure these employees locally.   This program will get you a temporary visa and you must be hired for a Canadian job before you are able to get it. Visit the CIC website to explore the resources currently available. This type of visa will expire after 4 years unless your employer renews it. If you change jobs during that 4 year period, your new employer will have to go through the CIC and be accepted as an official sponsor for you. If you land a job in Canada through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, you should immediately arrange a start date with your new employer so that you can then plan your move around that date.   You will need to give yourself plenty of time to settle your affairs at home, get moved, and get situated in Canada upon arrival. Find out from your new employer if you will need a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for your new position. Your employer is responsible for taking care of that for you, but it’s good to know beforehand whether or not it’s required. Once you’ve decided on a visa program, apply for it immediately so that you can get the application process started. In most cases, the process takes anywhere from 2 to 15 days. However, if you are denied the visa and are forced to apply for a different one in another classification, this extends to process.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Determina tu elegibilidad para la visa. Averigua acerca de las visas patrocinadas por los empleadores. Organiza una fecha de inicio con tu nuevo empleador, si correspondiera. Solicita la visa tan pronto como puedas.


If you want to look taller without the obvious addition of heels, elevator shoes are the choice for you. They look like regular dress shoes, but contain an extra insert inside, either attached to the shoe or removable, that can add anywhere from 1-6 in (2.5-15.2 cm) of height. You can buy the inserts, known as shoe lifts, separately. Place them in any dress shoe or lace-up boot for a few extra inches of height. Another low-key way to boost your height, low-heeled men’s boots are clomping their way back into fashion. You can buy them in leather or suede varieties for a retro or classy feel.  Don't be afraid to take a look at women's boots too! Some of them look more masculine while others look more feminine. If you choose women's boots, be aware that they might be more narrow than you're used to. Consider a pair that's labeled "wide." It'll be more comfortable. If the high heeled look is what you’re after, start out with lower or thicker heels. Look for heels that are an inch-high or smaller, with a thick heel or even a platform sole. These platforms are known as wedges, which refers to the solid block, or “wedge,” that runs from heel to toe and supports the foot while adding height.  A low-heeled boot can also be a great way to ease into wearing higher heels, for your own physical comfort as well as subtlety. If this is your first time wearing heels, choose lower heels or wedges for your first pair. The next set of heels can be the height you want, such as sky-high stilettos. Stilettos have the classic thin, high, tapered heels. They’re gorgeous, but notoriously difficult to walk in! If you’ve walked in lower heels before and feel up to the challenge, buy a pair and try them out. Don't give up if you can’t manage the height. Keep practicing, and you’ll be rocking them in no time.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Opta por zapatos elevadores o zapatos con alzas si quieres incrementar tu estatura de una forma invisible. Opta por botas de tacones bajos para lograr un aspecto sutil y moderno. Usa zapatos de tacones bajos o de tacón de cuña si quieres sentirte a la moda pero a la vez cómodo. Opta por zapatos de tacón aguja si te sientes confiado y experimentado.


If you want to maintain a post or picture's Likes and comments when you repost it, you'll need to comment on it. You can comment on someone's post or picture.  You can also use this method to repost an old post made by you or a friend. Find the original post (you may have to go back through their Timeline) and then read on. This isn't exactly "reposting", but it is the only way to bump a post to the top of people's feeds without losing the Likes and comments. If you use the "Share" feature on a post, it will make a new post and remove the likes and comments. This will send it to the top of your feed, which will show up on your friends' feeds. You can do this for old posts that you want to bring back to the top, or with posts that your friends might not normally see. You can also Like the old post, but this is less likely to send it back to the top. This will make a new post with the same content on your own feed. It won't keep the original comments and Likes, but you will control the post.

If you want to maintain your ARRT certified status, then you'll need to get 24 hours of continuing education every two years. This will help you brush up on your skills, learn new techniques, and to stay current in your field. As you become more experienced in your career, you may be asked to train or even to manage entry-level technologists. Make sure you know how to educate and manage others in a professional and helpful manner. Your job will require you to work closely with patients, many of whom will be under incredible stress or in extreme pain. They will need you to calm them down and to help them relax as you do your job. As you grow in your career, you will need to master small talk as well as the ability to make patients feel as calm and comfortable as possible. They will undoubtedly be nervous and they may ask you what you see on the machines. However, you cannot diagnose patients yourself or tell them what you see; you may notice a large tumor, but you must not show distress and keep telling the patients that only the doctors can diagnose the problems and that your job is just to operate the machine. You will need both physical and mental stamina to succeed at your job. Though the average work week for a radiology technician is 40 hours a week, your job may require you to work evenings, weekends, or to take on other on-call work, especially when you're starting out. You will need to stay physically strong because you may have to lift and move patients, and you will have to stay mentally tough because the job can get a bit repetitive and can also be emotionally draining, as working with potentially sick patients may take a toll on you. Though the job can be a bit mentally and physically draining, at the end of the day, you should feel proud that you're helping patients diagnose their problems and to get on the road to recovery. Though the position of radiologic technologist has less opportunities for clinical advancement, if you do want to advance, then you can move into several other fields that...

If you want to maintain your fitness during pregnancy, first speak with your doctor about whether or not it’s safe to continue your current activities. There are some circumstances where it may be unsafe for you to do certain activities.  Exercise during pregnancy is generally good for you and your baby. Your doctor might suggest you not exercise if you have heart and lung problems, high blood pressure, cervical problems or vaginal bleeding, or placenta previa, are experiencing or are at risk for preterm labor. She may also suggest avoiding exercise if you are pregnant with multiples.  Talk to your doctor about the types of exercise you want to do to make sure they’re safe. Your doctor may suggest meeting with a fitness professional to help you find the best and safest exercises for you and your baby. Women who are pregnant have special dietary needs and you will need to adjust your diet to keep you and your unborn baby healthy and fit. Consult a registered dietician to discuss your specific dietary needs and how you can best get all of the vitamins and nutrients necessary to maintain your health and fitness. Your doctor, local hospital or birthing center can suggest a registered dietician to help you meet your dietary needs and fitness goals. If you are exercise regularly and want to continue this activity during your pregnancy, consult a certified fitness professional once you have your doctor’s stamp of approval. She may be able to help you tailor an exercise regimen to help you stay fit during your pregnancy.  A certified fitness professional can help you get fit during pregnancy if you haven’t been working out. Getting or increasing fitness during pregnancy can help you prepare for the physical strain of pregnancy and childbirth.  A certified fitness professional may tell you it’s safe to continue whatever exercises you did prior to pregnancy as long as you feel well and comfortable and have the ok from your doctor.

If you want to make friends, there are a few tips you can follow to increase your chances of success. In general, people like to talk about themselves. So, as a rule-of-thumb, you can connect with others by asking them their stories. Opt for open-ended questions or statements that allow the person to share as much as they like as opposed to questions which lead to simple "yes" or "no" answers. You might ask at an event, "So, how do you know the host?" or "What kinds of things do you do for fun?" In addition to being able to strike up the conversation and get people talking, you also need to be an active listener. Make occasional eye contact, nod in agreement, and use sounds to prompt the person to continue talking.  Engaged listeners make great friends because many people often want to vent their problems or share their points of view. Practice being fully engaged while you are listening and be ready to respond with a statement that summarizes what you just heard. For example, you might say, "It sounds like you had a really rough day" to sum it up after the speaker is done talking. Vulnerability is a necessary and truly beautiful ingredient in a friendship. Self-disclosure is one of the many things that distinguish friends from acquaintances. You might tell your friend about your parent's divorce, but you may not share that info with a random person. Make a minor self-disclosure to show the person that you trust them. Think of something small you can share with the other person about yourself like "I had a pretty rough term last school year. My parents got divorced." Then, see how they handle it to determine if the friendship goes any further. If you're ready to take your connection with someone to the friendship stage, you'll have to be willing to take a risk. If you and a potential friend have been hanging out in a group setting, invite the person to a one-on-one outing. This shows that you would like to get to know them beyond the group. Say, "Hey, you seem really cool. Would you like to catch a movie...

If you want to make someone jealous, you need to know why you rock as a person. We all have great qualities, so think about what makes you special. People will treat you how you allow them to, so set high standards for yourself. Remind yourself that you have as much value as anyone else and deserve to be treated well.  Make a list of your best traits, your hobbies and interests, and the positive things you’ve done over the past few years, such as volunteering or helping out your grandparents. Don’t make excuses for someone who doesn’t treat you well; instead, ignore that person and focus on your friends.  Remind yourself that all people are different, but they are also still valuable. This means that not everyone will like you, but that shouldn’t take away from how you feel about yourself. When you know that you’re going to be around your crush, choose clothes that make you feel your best and reflect your identity. In addition to looking your best, you’ll convey more confidence because when you feel you look good you project those positive thoughts to the world.  Show of your best features. Pick an outfit that expresses something about you. For example, you could wear something studded to show that you’re edgy, or something flowy to show your girly side. Show that you’re comfortable with yourself by keeping your arms loose at your side. When you first meet up with people, meet each of their eyes and give a casual greeting such as, “Hey, guys!.” Maintain eye contact as you talk to people, including your crush.  Practice making eye contact with your friends. If you just can’t make eye contact with their eyes, try to look at their noses. No matter where you are, pretend like you’re hosting a party and need to see and speak to everyone. Not only will you look confident, but your crush will have to notice you since you’ll be fluttering around like a social butterfly.  Say “hi” to everyone. Speak to everyone before the end of the event. Set time limits for how long you will spend in one spot or talking to the same...

If you want to make sure you find out what your true belt size is with no mistakes, find a professional tailor (or clothing store employee) to help you determine your measurements. A trained tailor will be able to help you get an accurate measurement for your belt size with no margin for error.  Ask people you know for recommendations for a good tailor. Search the internet for tailors in your area. If that doesn’t work, try going to a clothing store and ask an employee to help you. Make sure you wear pants that fit snugly when you go to get measured. You don’t want any loose material adding inches to your measurement, as this will cause your belt to be too loose as well. You also don’t want to wear pants that fit too tightly because this can also make you end up with a belt that doesn’t fit properly. Let the professional tailor measure your waist with a fabric tape measure. They will tell you how to stand and help you find the right measurement for your belt.  Be sure to stand normally and breathe normally so that the tailor can get an accurate measurement. Use the measurement number the tailor gives you to order a new belt that fits properly.

Pide ayuda a un sastre. Usa los pantalones adecuados. Mídete.


If you want to make your attempts to ignore your guy a little subtler, one great option is to wait a few days to agree to hang out. If he wants to go meet up outside of school, you can let him know that you are interested, but that you need to figure out when you're available.  When he asks you to hang out, let him know that you have to get back to him. Wait anywhere from one to three days to confirm. If the guy you like wants to spend time with you, make him work around your schedule. Don’t change your life to accommodate him. This is an excellent way to play hard to get and ignore your guy in a subtle way.  In order for this to work, you've got to stay busy. Fill your time with regular activities, such as a weekly date to do your nails with your friends or weekly trips to the bookstore to look at new books. Another effective way to ignore your guy is to pay some attention to somebody else. Making your guy a little bit jealous can be an excellent way to remind him how much he values you, and push him to give you the attention you deserve.  You can make him jealous by texting or writing notes to someone else. Another method is just to let him see you talking and having fun with others. Be careful not to take this too far. You only want to make him a little bit jealous, not drive him away. If you are already going out with this guy, but he isn’t treating you the way you would like, you may want to drop some hints that you’re looking for the door. If he really cares about you, he will step up and make sure you stay.  Talk about your plans for the summer (as if they do not include him). Perhaps you are thinking about going away to a summer camp, or on a long road trip with family. When you talk about the future (like where you will attend high school or college), try dropping a line like, “Well, we don’t really know what is going to happen with us.”

TL;DR in Spanish:

Espera un par de días antes de responder a una petición. Haz que se adapte a tus horarios. Haz que se sienta celoso. Dale pistas que sugieran que no quieres seguir con la relación.


If you want to monitor your portion sizes when eating at restaurants, knowing how to visually identify a tablespoon is a valuable skill. As a reference, keep in mind that a ping pong ball generally represents two tablespoons. While this may be difficult to identify with liquids, solid substances will make the comparison pretty straightforward. As a general rule, the tip of your finger should measure about 1 teaspoon while the tip of your thumb should equal about a tablespoon. Hold your thumb next to whatever you are measuring to portion out a similar amount. Adjust the amount slightly if you thumb is larger or smaller than average. As a general rule, a cupped hand will hold about 2 tablespoons of liquid. If you do not have any measuring spoons or cups, you can approximate a tablespoon of liquid by filling up your cupped hand halfway. If your hands are especially small or large, you may add or omit liquid accordingly. Some foods have consistent portion sizes and can be broken down to a tablespoon easily. Keep these in mind for fast measuring the next time you are cooking, baking, or calorie counting. One tablespoon of sugar, for instance, is equal to 3 single serving packets of sugar, or 3 sugar cubes. As another example, a stick of butter is 8 tablespoons, so 1/8 of a stick of butter always equals a single tablespoon.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Recuerda que 2 cucharadas son la medida de una pelota de ping pong. Usa la punta de tu pulgar como guía para medir una cucharada. Usa el hueco de tu mano para medir dos cucharadas de líquido. Ten en cuenta las porciones de comida que siempre equivalen a una cucharada.

If you want to permanently get rid of a perm, you can do so by using a perming kit to reverse the chemical process that caused the perm to set. Before you use a perming kit, however, make sure to keep condition your hair. If possible, do so the day before you use the kit.  Wash your hair with shampoo and then towel dry it.  Comb your hair and separate it into 4 to 6 sections. If you have thicker hair, you'll need more sections.  Apply the conditioner to your hair, one section at a time. Start at the root and move down to the tip. When you finish with all the sections, but your hair in a shower cap. Apply heat to your hair. You can use a hood dryer, with the heat set to medium, for 20 minutes. If you don't have a hood dryer, you can throw a towel in the dryer and wrap it around your head for 20 minutes.  Once your done applying heat, remove the shower cap and rinse your hair in cool water. Towel dry your hair and then brush and style as normal. When you're ready to use the perm kit, wash your hair. Then, apply the waving lotion found in the perm kit.  Style your hair as you normally wear it, even though your hair is wet. For example, create a side part, or comb your bangs forward, if you have them. If necessary, use a towel to keep the lotion off of your face. Comb the lotion through your hair. Use a wide-tooth comb for the process. Comb for about 10 minutes, until your hair is fully saturated with the lotion.  Check your hair in the mirror. Hopefully, the curls should be relaxing a bit. If this is not working, comb your hair for another 5 minutes or until you notice this effect. Once your curls begin to unfurl, rinse your hair. Use very warm water for this process and rinse your hair for at least 3 minutes. You want to make sure you get all the lotion out of your hair. Blot all the excess water from your hair. If necessary, squeeze your hair inside the towel. However, do not rub your hair as this can cause damage. Once your hair dries, apply the neutralizer from the kit. Repeat the process you used with the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Acondiciona a fondo tu cabello. Lávate el cabello y aplica la loción rizadora. Enjuaga la loción del cabello cuando los rizos empiecen a abrirse. Seca tu cabello y aplica el neutralizador. Cuida de tu cabello después.


If you want to play hard to get, then you can't be too open about how much you like the girl or let her know exactly how you feel. Instead, you have to keep things fun and interesting by teasing her, being playful, gently bumping into her, and just generally keeping things light and fun without letting the girl know where you stand. Keep her guessing about your true feelings by teasing her a bit, but then pulling away if things get too friendly. Make her wonder how you really feel while encouraging her enough to keep her interested. To keep her on her toes, you can call her out in a joking way, by saying things like, "How much pink can one person really wear?" Or, "I've never known anyone who is so obsessed with her cat." Joke around with her and let her see that you appreciate her without all-out complimenting her, and you'll only intrigue her further. If you want to play hard to get, then you don't want the girl you like to feel like you are at her beck and call. If she calls you, don't pick up on the first — or even the second or third — ring. Let her feel like you have something more important to do. Though you don't want to look like you're too booked to care about her, you may not want to pick up the phone every time she calls, either. Give it a few hours to let her see that you have a lot going on.  Don't hang around the phone and annoy the girl you like by texting her what you ate for breakfast or asking what she thinks is the meaning of life. Who says you have to focus on talking to just one girl at a time? Instead of lingering over one person, use this time to be free and explore your options. Don't respond right away when your interest texts you. Go make a sandwich and wait fifteen minutes to respond, even if it's hard to wait. If she calls, let it go to voicemail and wait a few hours to call her back. If you really want to answer the phone, at least wait until the third ring. Of course, she may not do so, expecting you to make the first move. After a certain amount of time has passed, you will...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén la atención y el interés de la chica después de conocerse. Ten calma cuando se trate de llamarla o enviarle mensajes de texto. Una vez que hayan intercambiado sus números de teléfono, deja que ella te llame primero. No le reveles tus sentimientos demasiado rápido. No parezcas disponible todo el tiempo. No rompas la barrera del tacto demasiado pronto. Al principio, no te quedes demasiado tiempo.


If you want to predict the future through your dreams, you’ll need to inform yourself about dreams as such and their meaning. For one thing, your daily life and emotions have a lot do to with what you dream. They can contain fragments of our activities and thoughts as well as anxieties, hopes, and fears. If you dream about flying or coming to class naked, for example, you are probably dreaming about suppressed fears rather than the future.  You might try reading up on dream symbology to help in your self-analysis. The idea that dreams reflect the subconscious and can “symbolize” things in our minds was pioneered by psychologists like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, for example. Pick up a copy of Freud’s “The Interpretation of Dreams,” if you feel up to it. Carl Jung even thought that some images in dreams access a “collective unconscious” that cuts across all places and times. You’ll need to bone up on these ideas if you want to identify precognitive dreams. Some people have extended the work of thinkers like Freud and Jung and put together “dictionaries” of dream symbols. You can find these on the internet, with a lot of detail for symbols like water, doors, fences, dogs, cats, and other things.  To use one of these resources, go back to your dream journal, find important images, and then search for them. Try to be exhaustive and specific for, as you will see, the dictionaries often give very specific meanings. The idea behind a dream dictionary is that images or symbols have definite meanings, which you can then plug into your dream. For example, you may encounter future trouble with your sexuality if you had a foreboding dream about a mongoose.  If you dream that you are trapped inside of a coffin with a mongoose, the dream might mean two things: you will have trouble with your sexuality, and that it is a situation you should address. Once you have a good record of your dreams, more knowledge about dream theories, and access to dictionaries of symbols, try hard to parse your dreams. Put together all of your...

If you want to re-start your relationship, you’re going to first need to take responsibility for what you may have done wrong the first time around.  Sit down with each other and agree to have a calm, adult conversation about past grievances. Take responsibility for your own mistakes, and own up to them openly. Don’t try to minimize or deny things you did wrong; instead, show that you recognize what you did wrong and want to avoid similar mistakes in the future. For example, you might say something like, “I know I wasn’t a good listener and that’s my fault. I was too busy worrying about work (or school or whatever) and I didn’t give you the attention you deserved. I’m sorry and I want to change that.” This applies whether you get back together with your ex-girlfriend or not.  If you do succeed in getting back together, don’t dwell on past wrongs or spend time blaming each other for what went wrong. Instead, focus on discussing what each of you needs from the relationship and discuss how to help each other get it. Focus on what you want moving forward rather than on what you did or didn’t do in the past. For example, you might explain, “I felt like you got annoyed with me when I went out with my friends, and I think it might have been because I didn’t let you know about my plans far enough in advance. Is that right?” Then suggest ways of resolving the problem going forward, like agreeing to give at least 5 hours notice before going out on weeknights, etc. If you don’t succeed in getting back together, don’t obsess over your failures or over what she did to wrong you. Learn what you can from what worked and what didn’t work in the relationship and start to move on. If the two of you decide to give the relationship another try, have a clear game plan in place to help you move forward.  Determine specifically what each of you needs and wants from the relationship. Ask, “What do you feel like you weren’t getting before?” and “What can we do to help you get that from the relationship?” Similarly, tell her what it...

If you want to run for sheriff in the United States, you must be a citizen of the US. If you're in the process of getting citizenship, you can start preparing to become sheriff by getting the necessary education and experience, but you won't be able to actually run for office until this basic requirement is fulfilled. The age limitation differs slightly by state, but in most cases you must be over 18 years of age to run for sheriff. Waiting until you're old enough to have several years of education and on-the-job experience under your belt certainly can't hurt. Sheriffs are in a leadership position that often takes a big physical and mental toll. A certain level of seasoned wisdom is a big asset when you're shouldering that much responsibility. In many states you must be a local resident in the place where you want to run. If you just moved to the area, you probably won't be eligible until you've established residency for at least a year. Visit the website of your county's sheriff's office to find out exactly what residency requirements you must fulfill in order to become eligible to run for sheriff. Since a sheriff must endure a lot of psychological and physical strain, it's important to have the ability to endure all different types of stress without breaking. In order to run for sheriff, you'll need to be able to pass both physical and mental health tests with flying colors.   Going through police academy should prepare you physically for the role of sheriff. You'll need to be able to run, perform pushups, handcuff criminals, tackle people, and work long hours without fatiguing. You'll learn about stress management and quick thinking as you gain experience working in the field in preparation for running for sheriff. Stress management is something that can be learned and practiced, which is one reason why it's important to have plenty of experience before you step into the role of sheriff. Most counties require that people running for sheriff have at least a high school level of education. If you never...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sé un ciudadano de los Estados Unidos. Tienes que ser mayor de 18 años de edad. Vive en el lugar en el que quieras convertirte en sheriff. Cuenta con un buen estado físico y mental. Consigue un diploma de preparatoria o de Desarrollo de Educación General.


If you want to save time for the next few steps, place the flour and salt into a food processor. You can do this in a food processor fitted steel blades or in a medium sized bowl with a pastry blender. Do not over mix, or the dough will get too soft and mushy. Again, don't over mix it. The butter, shortening, salt, and flour should just come together. You want the mixture to still resemble coarse crumbs. If you are using a food processor, you can transfer the mixture into a medium sized bowl once you mix the butter in. Gently toss the dough while you add the water. The dough should just barely come together. If it is too dry, add a little bit more water, until it does. Don't worry if it looks too dry; it will dampen once you put it in the fridge. Scoop the crumbs towards the center, and press them into the dough. Make the disk about 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) thick. You will be rolling it out later, so don't worry if it looks too thick now. If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, spritz it with some cold water. This will help the dough keep its disk shape. It will also trap moisture and keep it from drying it. This will give the flour enough time to soak up the water and become softer.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pasa la masa a una superficie plana y aplánala hasta formar un disco. Envuelve el disco de masa en papel manteca, papel encerado o film transparente. Coloca la masa en el refrigerador y déjala allí por 30 minutos.


If you want to sell online without the hassle of packing and shipping, try listing your knives on places like Craigslist and local Facebook groups. Though you may not be able to charge as much, since local shoppers are often on the hunt for deals, you’ll be able to deliver the product by hand. In addition, you can list items that, though legal to sell in person, are not allowed on websites like eBay and Amazon, such as butterfly and automatic knives. If you want to sell vintage knives or products from popular brands like Spyderco, Cold Steel, Benchmade, and Buck Knives, try using a major shopping site like eBay or Amazon. Though these sites heavily restrict the sale of bladed weapons, they offer access to a wide range of customers. These sites are particularly good for products with specific names and model numbers, since those are easier to search for. If you have the ability to engrave or otherwise customize knives, try listing your products on homemade and craft shopping websites like Etsy. Though these shoppers probably won’t care about retro or standard-issue knives, they may be interested in knives that bear their name, a customized message, or a unique quote. This is a great way to sell new knives that have lost their value or cheap knives that you can’t sell as is. Craft shoppers often appreciate extra effort, so include a personalized thank-you note or small trinket in your package to encourage repeat business. For specialty blades, your best buyers will often be passionate knife collectors and aficionados. These people know how much blades are worth and, as such, are willing to pay more than normal buyers for the right knife. Collectors often hang out on official knife forums, most of which let users list knives for sale. Some popular knife forums include:   http://www.jerzeedevil.com/, a knife forum that is completely free.  http://www.bladeforums.com, a knife forum that charges $25 per year to list items.  https://www.glocktalk.com/forum/, a firearms forum frequented by many knife sellers.

If you want to shop in person, you can visit a home improvement store or a flooring store. You can also source your tiles online.  Shopping in person is a great idea because you can see the tiles in person to verify what the color or design looks like. Both options should provide you with samples of the floor tiles you’re considering, so don’t hesitate to ask. Knowing how many square feet you need to cover will help you narrow down your choices. Use your measurements to see how many of each tile you would need, then add up the costs to make sure they’re within your budget. If you’re shopping in the store, an employee can help you determine how many tiles you would need for the space you’re tiling. It’s hard to determine what the tiles will look like in your home, but you can help yourself by bringing items from your home. This could include a photo, a paint swatch, a fabric swatch, or even a piece of your decor that you want to match.  Compare the items from your home to the tiles to see how they look. Bring your partner or a friend for a second opinion. You can also bring the tiles into your home by getting a sample. These are usually available for free or for a low cost.  You can request samples from a store or from companies online. Getting a sample can save you from buying a tile that doesn’t work in your home. Tiles are rated for durability using a rating system called the PEI scale. They can be rated from Class 1 through 5. Floor tiles should be at least a Class 2, but it’s a good idea to choose one that is a Class 3 or higher to ensure that the tile won’t be easily damaged by normal use. Lower rated tiles are better for use on walls or counters.

TL;DR in Spanish:

If you want to sound like Christina Aguilera, you should make sure you know her voice well. You will more naturally take to singing like her if you are very familiarized with her style. Spend some time listening to a wide variety of her music and records.  Websites like YouTube and Spotify should be able to provide you with a variety of Aguilera's songs and records. Listen to Aguilera in your free time as you're trying to develop your voice. Play her records in the background while you do things like chores. Listen to her at the gym or while you're driving somewhere in your car. Aguilera's style is inspired by blues and R&B. A lot of her riffs and runs are based off classic singers in these genres. In addition to listening to Aguilera, check out artists that have inspired her style.  Listen to older blues songs such as Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples, and other classic blues singers. Janis Joplin is also a good artist to check out if you're trying to emulate Aguilera's style. Part of Christina Aguilera's style is a strong emotional connection with the lyrics. This often helps her emphasize and embellish the right parts of the songs. If you want to emulate Aguilera, form an emotional connection with songs you choose to sing.  Listen to songs very carefully, paying attention to each word. Ask yourself what kind of emotions the singer is conveying. Is this a happy song? A sad song? Think about the underlying message. What is the song's story? Is about lost love, for example, or loss and grief? It can help to read the lyrics as poetry. Look up the lyrics online and read them without a musical accompaniment. This can help you form a stronger connection with the meaning of the words.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escucha la música de Christina Aguilera. Familiarízate con la inspiración de Aguilera. Crea una conexión emocional con las canciones.


If you want to start a private tennis instruction business, you’ll need to acquire clients. Start by taking a few coaching jobs at local tennis clubs to help get the word out. As a bonus, you’ll gain useful coaching experience. It’s also helpful to network with other tennis instructors and sports coaches in your area so they can refer students to you. If you are in high school, you could ask friends' parents to spread the word or have your high school coach connect you with clients. Come up with a marketing strategy to reach more people. Consider creating a social media account or website for your coaching business. You can also post fliers in areas where potential clients are likely to be, such as schools or rec centers. Research other tennis instructors and businesses in your area. Asses their approaches, strengths, and weaknesses. Try to find a way to make your services stand out.  For example, if you are one of only a handful of local instructors who played tennis in college, highlight that fact to potential clients. If you’re a star high school tennis player, capitalize on that! If instructors with similar qualifications are charging $35 per hour, you should use a comparable price point. However, if you are much more qualified than the other instructors in your area--perhaps you were a top collegiate athlete or played professionally--then consider charging more. They can give you advice on the successes and challenges they’ve faced during their time in the industry. It might be better to reach out to non-local instructors, though, since you’ll be competing for clients with the ones in your area.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Construye tu base de clientes. Promociona tus servicios. Destácate entre la competencia. Determina el precio de tus clases de acuerdo a tu conjunto de habilidades y el mercado local. Habla con otros instructores privados.


If you want to start turning a guy on, then give him a hug from behind. Stand behind him and wrap your arms around his stomach, bringing your bodies closer. You can rest your chin on his shoulder or press your forehead to his back, depending on your height. Let him feel your breath on the back of his neck. It won't take long for him to turn around and start kissing you. Kissing the back of a guy's neck is another great way to turn him on. To do this, just move up behind him and wrap your arms around him or just squeeze his shoulders, and start gently kissing the back of his neck, working your way over to the sides of his neck below his ears. You can also turn around and start kissing the front of his neck, or try kissing the front of his neck when you're kissing in bed and you're both reclined. Placing your hand on the small of the guy's back, just above his waistline, is another great way to let him know that you want something more. As you move toward him, place your hand on the small of his back and turn to face him, using your hand to draw him closer to you. The back of a guy's head, just above his neck, is another great spot to turn the guy on. Touch the back of his head when you're kissing or just having an intimate conversation where you're leaning in close to each other and talking. You can also massage his scalp a bit or run your fingers through the hair on the back of his head. The area behind a guy's ear is another erogenous zone and touching a guy there, whether it's with the tips of your fingers or the tips of your lips, is a great way to send a tingling sensation up and down his spine. You can stroke the area behind his ear with your hands and even move on to gently touch his ear and earlobes. This is an intimate move that is guaranteed to drive any guy wild. Touch the inside of the guy's ear with the very tip of your tongue. After you do that, you can gently blow in the guy's ear to drive him crazy. If you're not comfortable with putting your tongue in there, then just blowing on the ear will...

TL;DR in Spanish:

If you want to stay warm on slightly cold days, go for a parka that isn't super puffy and insulated. A thin, lightweight parka will keep you warm on cold days that don't go below freezing. Select a parka with 50-100g of insulation. Try a lightweight parka if you are running errands or taking a jog, for example. If it is sleeting, snowing, or raining, you want a parka made from waterproof materials, rather than cotton or wool. Get a waterproof parka especially if you live somewhere with mild, rainy winters. It is also helpful to get a parka with a very large, wide hood if there will be inclement weather. If you want a sturdy winter coat to last you throughout many seasons, choose a heavy-duty parka made from insulating materials. For a very warm jacket, choose one with 150-200g of insulation.  For the warmest option possible, get a full-length parka. This coat runs to your shins, so it can keep you warm nearly from head to toe. Many parkas are lined with sherpa materials, goose feathers, or synthetic fillers that keep you toasty! Synthetic insulation is made from polyester spun together to create air pockets in between the layers. Choose a heavy-duty parka if you are participating in winter sports, taking a hike, or going ice fishing. If you need another layer of defense against the cold, throw on a hoodie or fleece jacket before putting on your parka. Adding another layer will keep you insulated and warm. This is a good idea if you are snowboarding or skiing in very cold weather, for instance.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige una parka ligera para los días menos fríos. Elige una resistente al agua para usarla a modo de impermeable. Ponte una parka gruesa si quieres mantenerte bien abrigado en invierno. Ponte una chaqueta ligera debajo de la parka si la temperatura es bajo cero.


If you want to stop being selfish, then you have to learn to listen to other people. And that means you should really listen, not just nod, and say "Uh huh," until it's your turn to speak. Listening means absorbing what people say, remembering what people say, and understanding the problems of your friends, significant others, and coworkers. It can also help if you ask open-ended questions that give your conversation partner a chance to express him or herself.  Don't interrupt. After your friend talks, give a thoughtful response by referencing points made in the conversation to show that you really paid attention. If your friend has a problem, don't instantly compare it to your own problem, which you claim is "way worse." Take every problem on its own terms and give relevant advice when you can without making it all about you. You can say something like, "I was in a similar situation, and this is what helped me. Do you think it might work for you?" This small and simple gesture could make a big difference in your friendship. One key aspect of being a good friend is being supportive, which includes supporting your friend's activities from time to time. The next time you and your friend hang out, let her pick the movie, the dinner place, the happy hour bar, or the activity that you'll do together.   Once you get in the habit of doing this, you may find that you get pleasure out of making the people you care about happy. You can also take turns. She can pick what you'll do one week and you can pick what you do the next. Go to the store, shop for the things that you know your friend will love, and then spend at least an hour cooking a delicious meal and setting the table. Preparing a meal for your friend takes time, money, and effort, and you'll see how good it feels to do something nice for another person.  This is an especially nice gesture if your friend is tired, broke, or in need of some comfort.  Don't make your friend bring over anything except something to drink. You'll be doing all the work that night....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sé un mejor oyente. Deja que tu amigo elija lo que harán juntos. Prepara una comida casera para tu amigo. Da buenos consejos. Deja de hablar de ti mismo todo el tiempo. Pregúntales a tus amigos sobre ellos mismos. Hazle un favor a tu amigo porque sí.


If you want to stop being selfish, then you've got to learn to compromise. This means seeing that it's better to be happy than to get what you want, that other people have needs too, and that you can't always get what you want. You don't want to have a reputation for being so stubborn that people wouldn't even think about approaching you with a difficult situation. Learn to listen to people, to weigh the pros and cons of any situation, and to be able to see the situation from another person's perspective.  Don't focus blindly on getting your way. Focus on understanding the situation from both sides. Ask yourself, "Who wants it more?" Do you really want this particular thing so badly, or are you just being stubborn for the sake of it? Not everything can be a priority for you. Make sure to hear the other person out and consider their perspective before you respond. Selfish people think that they deserve the best treatment and that they deserve to be spoiled, and that's just not the case. If someone does something nice for you, whether they are complimenting you or giving you a ride to class, you should be grateful and thank them for their actions instead of just acting like it's perfectly normal that they want to do favors for you. Don't expect kindness or understanding and be grateful when it comes your way.  Selfish people think they "deserve" the best treatment at all times. It's time to stop and think about all of the people who have really made your life better. Selfish people think that they have to choose every movie, plan every vacation, and get their way in every school or work-related project. Well, it's time to take a step back and to let some other people do some of the deciding. Sure, it may be scary to go to that new Thai place instead of your favorite usual Italian restaurant, and sure, you may not like letting Mary have so much control over your latest report; but you've got to trust that other people know what they're doing and to let them get their way, too.   Giving up control can help you...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aprende a hacer concesiones. Agradece a los demás. Deja de ser controlador(a). Pasa tiempo con gente que no sea egoísta. No interrumpas a las personas. Recuerda los cumpleaños. Mantén contacto con tus amigos, familia y parientes. Halaga a las demás personas. No te entrometas en las colas. Llega a tiempo.


If you want to successfully date an older woman, then you have to be a true gentleman. You don’t want her to think that you don’t have manners or that you don’t know how to treat a woman. Now, some women think that certain “gentlemanly” traits, such as holding doors or pushing out chairs, are antiquated, so try to get a read on her expectations. Still, it doesn’t hurt to be polite, to have good manners, and to avoid overly vulgar topics. If you want to be a true gentleman, the most important thing is that you’re respectful of your date.  Show up to your dates on time and sometimes even with a small gift. Make sure to put an effort into your appearance before you go on a date. You want the older woman to see that she’s worth it. Give her compliments to show how beautiful and amazing you think she is. Treat everyone around you with respect as well. Being kind and polite to servers, friends, and strangers shows that you’re a respectful person and that you’re not just putting on an act for the woman. Sure, the older woman has probably had more life experience and has been with more people than you have. That doesn’t mean you have to talk about it all the time or worry that you don’t have enough to bring to the table. If she’s more experienced in the bedroom, then great—enjoy whatever it is that she’s going to teach you. Try not to focus on your past and think about enjoying the experience you’re gaining with the older woman in the present.  If you want to be a good boyfriend, then you really don’t have to bring up your lack of experience. For one thing, it may make the older woman feel self-conscious about the amount of experience she has. For another, it’ll make you look insecure. When you’re getting intimate, try not to worry about it if you don’t have very much experience in that department. If you obsess over this, then it’ll keep you from enjoying yourself. Be a man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to ask for it. If you’re always second-guessing yourself, mumbling, or waiting to say what’s really on...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sé un caballero. No te preocupes si no tienes experiencia. Sé asertivo. Sé maduro. Mantén las cosas divertidas y ligeras. Evita traer a colación la diferencia de edad en todo momento.


If you want to take it all to the next level, work on enhancing your vocabulary and becoming a more proficient speaker. An enhanced vocabulary gives the impression of intelligence and wit, both of which can be highly attractive qualities.  A natural way to enhance your vocabulary is to read more. As an added benefit, your knowledge base will increase alongside your vocabulary. Speaking with a lot of slang is not recommended. Slang is very “common” in terms of language, but in order to be suave, you need to be more than common. Even though an advanced vocabulary can be a good trait to possess, you should never try to push it. It will be obvious if you are forcing yourself to use words that feel unnatural to you. Instead, opt for a more polished form of your natural way of speaking. As a rule of thumb, if you have never heard a word in a sentence or have only heard a word once or twice, you should probably avoid using it. You might think that pet names can seem endearing, but many people consider them to be condescending or rude. Wait until after you have developed some sort of personal relationship with a person before using pet names, especially when dealing with women. Even after you get to know a girl, you should be careful about pet names. Try it once. If the person you speak to has a positive reaction, you can keep using that pet name, as long as you occasionally use her real name, as well. If you get a negative reaction, you should just stick with the real name all the time. Being a good conversationalist goes hand in hand with appearing self-confident and intelligent. A guy who can maintain a conversation in a smooth manner will seem more intriguing and pleasant to be around.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mejora tu vocabulario. Habla con naturalidad. Cuidado con los apodos. Mantén una conversación fluida.


If you want to take your communications to the next level, it's possible to visit an experienced medium and undergo a channeling session, in which one of the group (probably the medium) allows themselves to be "inhabited" by the spirit during hypnosis, who then talks to the group.  Depending on the medium you visit, the communication may involve writing, speaking, or other forms of communication. It's very important that you visit someone experienced in the matters of afterlife communication. Do not try this alone. Scrying refers to any basic method of using a substance or an object to communicate with the other world. Most often, this means crystals, candles, smoke, stones, bones, or glass. Like channeling, scrying is most often effective when done with an accomplished and experienced medium who maintains frequent contact with the spiritual realm. It's difficult to know how to "read" smoke, for example, and might be somewhat dangerous to try. Many famous kids' games revolve around the legend of Bloody Mary, in which you shut yourself in the dark bathroom and invite Bloody Mary to appear in the mirror. Staring deep into a mirror and attempting to communicate with the spiritual world after cleansing the area and creating a safe, benevolent space for the spirits to gather can be an intense and mystical experience. In may places, especially the American South, legends revolve around the use of cars parked in specific locations in neutral, allowing spirits to "push" the car to let their presence be known. In some such legends, the driver is instructed to go to a particular location at midnight and put baby powder or flour on the bumper of the car, to show the handprints of the dead who pushed it. If there's such a legend in your area, try it out. Drive to the particular place, bridge, or crossroad and kill your car. Put it in neutral and invite the ghost or the spirit to give you a push. See what happens.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trata de comunicarte con los espíritus por medio de un médium experimentado. Prueba la cristalovidencia. Prueba mirándote al espejo. Utiliza un automóvil para comunicarte.


If you want to talk about seeing something in the present, but doubting whether it's actually being seen, you want to use a present subjunctive form of the verb ver.   Yo vea: I see/am seeing.  Tú veas: You see/are seeing.  Él/ella/usted vea: He/she/you see/are seeing. For example, you might say "dudo que él vea las estrellas" to mean "I doubt he sees the stars."  Nosotros/-as veamos: We see/are seeing.  Vosotros/-as veáis: You all see/are seeing.  Ellos/ellas/ustedes vean: They/you all see/are seeing. Spanish has present, past, and future perfect subjunctive verb forms that use a conjugated form of the helping verb haber along with visto, the past participle of ver. Present perfect subjunctive = the present subjunctive conjugation of haber + visto. For example, dudo que ellos se hayan visto means I doubt that they have seen each other."  Past perfect subjunctive = the imperfect subjunctive conjugation of haber + visto. For example, "dudo que ellos se hubieran visto" means "I doubt that they had seen each other."

TL;DR in Spanish:

Expresa duda con el presente del subjuntivo. Expresa dudas e hipótesis con el pretérito perfecto del subjuntivo.


If you want to tame curly hair, don't brush it. This may seem like the opposite thing to do when trying to eliminate frizz, but it really works. When you brush naturally curly hair, the brush is essentially splitting apart those curls and turning them into individual hair strands, which can result in exaggerated volume. If you take a shower, then let your hair air dry without brushing it, those curls will stay compact and less frizzy. You may choose to use a humectant product that attracts and absorbs moisture when the weather is dry to fight frizz, and an anti-humectant that repels moisture when the air outside is damp. You may find that you need to have alternative products on hand for those days when the weather is not on your side. The dew point, or the point when water vapor would condense, has the strongest impact on your curls.  During the winter months dew points will drop as low as below 30 degrees depending on your location. Avoid using humectants, your hair will need all the moisture it can get. Use leave-in conditioners and light hold products. When the dew point range 30-40 degrees you will need to do some experimenting to see what products work best. Humectants may or may not benefit your hair. The best dew point for manageable curls is between 40-60 degrees. Regular moisturizing treatment should help keep hair in the best condition. Humectants can be helpful in keeping hair moisturized as well. A high dew point is anything over 60+ degrees. You may want to avoid using a leave-in conditioner. Stick to firm hold products like pomades to keep your hair manageable. You also may want to avoid humectants as there is lots of moisture in the air. When your hair is wet put a dab of product in the palm of your hand. Start by applying product to back of the head where the hair is thicker, than work your way to the sides and top. You can add small amounts of product as you go. You may want to drape a towel over your shoulders if you have longer hair to keep your clothes clean. Your hair may still appear...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evita cepillarte el cabello. Elige los productos adecuados. Aplícate una crema para rizos, gel o espuma. Deja que tu cabello se seque por completo. Estruja los rizos. Usa un rizador para "arreglar" algunos rizos si fuera necesario. Usa una solución para refrescar los rizos durante el día. Listo.


If you want to tell jokes at parties, you could benefit from preparing some “staple” jokes. If you have some jokes or stories that have been rehearsed (and that you know are funny), you can use these to break the ice. Best of all, the more times you tell a joke, the better it becomes and the less likely you are to laugh.  Think back to the wildest thing that has ever happened to you. Can you tell this story in a humorous way? Be sure to include all the major details, and include one joke or funny outburst every few sentences. Keep your story under 5 minutes. Another alternative is to think up some thematically appropriate jokes. For example, if you will be attending a non-profit ball, you can try something like, "How many board members does it take to change a light bulb? Response: Six! One to change the light bulb, and five more to divert the founder!" Laughing at your own jokes in usually the result of nervousness or feeling awkward. Focus on the experience of telling the joke, and try not to even think about whether or not anyone will laugh. This helps to curb the knee-jerk reaction of nervous laughter following your punchline.  You can relax yourself by taking deep breaths. Breath in to a count of 4, 5, or 6, and try to make your exhale the same length. Alternatively, you can count your breaths. Try to take 10 slow, deep inhales and exhales. If the people in your company don’t laugh at your joke, just let it go. Don’t try to encourage them to laugh by explaining the joke, or by laughing maniacally. This only comes off as desperation, and nothing is less funny than that.  Try to believe in your joke. If you believe what you’re saying is funny, other people will hear this in your voice.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mejora unas cuantas bromas de tu “repertorio”. Trata de relajarte. Olvídate.


If you want to trade options, you're going to need to open a brokerage to enter your transactions — this can be online with sites like www.iqoptionsbid.com or even a traditional account with a broker. Be sure that you understand what's involved in opening a brokerage account before doing so.  Compare commissions on options trading between various brokerages. Some firms even offer no commissions on options trading. Do some online research and read reviews of the brokerage companies that are on your short list. Learn from other people's mistakes so that you don't have to repeat them. Watch out for scam trading sites and platforms. Always research a platform thoroughly before depositing any money. Avoid platforms with negative reviews or reported fraudulent activity. A cash account will only allow purchases of options to open a position. If you want to sell an option to open an account without having the underlying asset, you need a margin account. If you decide to trade online ensure that your online brokerage accepts safe forms of payment such as a secure credit card payment gateway, or a third party payment system such as skrill, PayPal, payoneer, bitcoin, etc. You'll need to get approval from your brokerage house before you can start buying and selling options. The brokerage firms handling the account sets limits based upon experience and money in account, and each firm has its own requirements aimed at ensuring the customer know what he is doing. You can't write covered calls without an options account. Brokerage firms wants to be sure customers understand the risks before trading. Covered call writing involved selling the right to buy your stock at a strike price during the option term. The buyer has the right, not the seller. The stock has to be in the brokerage account and cannot be sold or transferred while the call is outstanding. Options are typically short-term investments, so you'll be looking for price movements of the optioned security in the near future to earn a healthy return. To properly...

If you want to try to make others happy, then you'll need to start with yourself. What makes you happy? What brings you joy? Thinking about these questions will help you start to figure out how you can spread happiness to others.  Make a list of the times you've been happiest in your life. It may help for you to go through a photo-book for this. Pay attention to the photos where you look happiest or at peace: What were you doing then? Who were you with? Do you still manage to find time to engage in these activities? If not, try to make it a priority to set time aside for you to do things that truly make you feel happy. Even if you don't have the time to go on long off-trail runs every weekend like you used to, for example, perhaps you can manage to fit in a jog around your local park once or twice or week. You may be surprised at how quickly you start to perk up after returning to the activity you once loved so much. It's hard to help others effectively if your own life is a mess. If you really want to make a positive impact on the world, you'll be better at it if you aren't too distracted by your own problems.  Maybe you'd like to help people who are unemployed find meaningful work that provides them with a steady income. If you struggle to keep a job, though, you won't be able to offer much in the way of advice, and you certainly won't be taken seriously. However, you shouldn't give up on this goal just because you haven't (yet!) held down one good-paying job for a long stretch of time. Indeed, once you manage to figure things out, you'll be in an excellent position to help others who are in positions like yours. You will truly be able to understand their situation and will be able to offer solid, proven advice once you manage to overcome your own obstacles. While one of the first steps towards helping others is helping yourself, be careful not to put off the start of your new plan for too long. You will never be perfectly happy, perfectly content, perfecting employed, etc.  If you wait for the time to be...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca tu propia felicidad. Pon tu vida en orden. Apunta a mejorar tu propia vida, no a perfeccionarla.


If you want to turn your Windows 10 computer into a wireless hotspot, you'll need to be connected to your network using an Ethernet cable. If you're connected to your network via Wi-Fi, you won't be able to create a wireless hotspot and stay connected to the network with the same adapter. If you have two wireless adapters installed, you can connect to the network with one and create the hotspot with the other. You cannot use one to do both. All laptop computers running Windows 10 will have a wireless adapter installed already. If you're using a desktop, you can check by pressing ⊞ Win+X and selecting "Network Connections." Look for a connection labeled "Wi-Fi." This indicates that you have a wireless adapter installed. If you don't have one, you'll need to install one before you can create a wireless hotspot with your computer. You can use a USB adapter, or install a network card. ⊞ Win+X and select "Command Prompt (Admin)." Confirm when Windows asks if you want to continue. This will load the Command Prompt with you logged in as an administrator. Enter the following command to check if your card is compatible:  netsh wlan show drivers After running this command, scroll back up and look for the Hosted network supported line. If it says "Yes," your wireless card supports creating a wireless hotspot. If it says "No", see the Any Version of Windows section below. Enter the following command to create your new hotspot, replacing NetworkName with the name you want your network to appear as, and Password with the password you want to use to protect it: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NetworkName key=Password Once you've created the hotspot, you'll need to enter another command to actually enable it: netsh wlan start hostednetwork ⊞ Win+X and select "Network Connections." This will display the network connections installed on your computer. If you are connected to your network via Ethernet, it will be the Ethernet adapter. If you have two wireless adapters, select the one that is connected to the...

If you want to walk your dogs together, make sure they get along first. If you've had both dogs for awhile, you may already know how well they get along. If your dogs are generally friendly with one another, they'll probably adapt well to walking together. If one dog is new, however, you may want to wait a bit before attempting to walk them together. They may need time to get used to another before they can be good walking companions. You should also make sure your dogs are friendly with other dogs. If your dogs sometimes get territorial on their own during walks, they may develop a pack mentality when walking together. This can result in a lot of aggression. If one or both of your dogs tends to be territorial, keep in mind you'll have to quickly correct any aggressive behavior during the walk. If your dogs have never walked together before, it's a good idea to start out walking the dogs with another person. You can walk one dog, and a friend or family member can walk the other. You can walk side-by-side, keeping the dogs parallel. Do a few brief training sessions, in calm areas, with another person to walk one dog. If your dogs are already friendly with each other, this may not be necessary. If one dog is relatively new to the home, however, this step can really help your dogs get used to one another while walking. There is no strict right or wrong answer when it comes to holding two leashes during a walk. A lot depends on the size of your dogs, and your sense of control. Some people feel like they have adequate control holding the leashes in a single hand. However, with bigger and stronger dogs, you may feel better holding one leash in either hand. If one dog is bigger or stronger, you may want to hold his leash in your dominant hand. Once your dogs are comfortable walking side-by-side, you can start walking them together. However, you should start slow. Have brief training sessions in areas free of outside distractions.  Choose a calm area free of distractions. You can practice walking your dogs in your...

If you want to write an epic fantasy story, it's a good idea to read extensively within the genre. Trying to write within a genre you've never read will only produce mediocre work, and dedicated readers of the genre will recognize the lack of authority in your writing.  Some popular and widely-adored fantasy authors include C.S. Lewis, T.H. White, Fritz Leiber, J.R.R. Tolkien, Susanna Clarke, and Kelly Link.  Ask a librarian at your local library or an employee at your local book store to recommend some classic, influential fantasy novels for beginners to the genre. Not all fantasy novels include magic, but those that do typically establish a sense of order for the realm of magic. There needs to be some type of method and logic to the magic, and it should be clear and unambiguous for readers.  Plan out the magical elements thoroughly. Consider whether those elements need explanation or exposition in order to make sense to readers, and decide what the "rules" or limits of that magic is in your world. If your story takes place in an historical society (or a fictional society based on some real historical culture), make sure you thoroughly research that society/culture so you can write about it honestly and accurately. Catching a reader's interest from the start is important for any story, but especially in fantasy fiction. Dedicated readers of the genre will want to know that their efforts will be rewarded, and failing to hook your audience from early on may result in your readers losing interest as the story goes along.  You don't necessarily need a huge, "bombshell" reveal early in the story. However, you should at least hint at exciting and intriguing things to come. You'll need to deliver on the things you hint at later in the story, so don't offer false promises of something exciting that never unfolds. Many fantasy authors open a story with some type of battle scene. While this can be exciting and may show off certain characteristics of the principal characters, the reality is that readers won't know who...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Presenta tus personajes principales antes de que siga el drama. Resiste el impulso de incluir todos los detalles y descripciones.


If you want your Christmas card envelope to look more traditional and formal, add the children’s first names separately on the second line after identifying the parents on the first line. For instance:  Mr. and Mrs. Pete Wright Alex and Amy (or Alex, Amy, and Andrew) Instead of the more traditional method of placing the children’s first names on the second line, you may want to try a simpler, one-line approach. You can do this simply by adding “and Family” after the parent or parents names—for instance, “Mr. and Ms. Ben Shaw and Family.”  You might feel that putting the kids’ names on the second line indicates that they have a secondary status, or that they’re an afterthought. However, by using “and Family,” you’re not actually identifying the children individually, so there are pros and cons to either approach. This is a good method to use if you know your recipient has kids, but don’t know their names! ” While these are less formal approaches, they clearly indicate that you are sending your holiday greetings to the entire family as a whole. Just make sure you don’t use any apostrophes! It’s “The Smiths,” not the “Smith’s” and “The Joneses,” not “The Jones’.” You might also want to combine the formal, semi-formal, and less formal approaches into a hybrid like this: “Ann, Ben, Alex, and Amy Shaw.” This cuts out all the titles and gives everyone in the family equal billing.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escribe el nombre de pila de los hijos en la segunda línea si quieres el enfoque tradicional. Añade "y familia" a los nombres de los padres si quieres un enfoque semiformal. Opta por un método menos formal (por ejemplo, "Familia Vásquez" o "Los Vásquez").
