Adding shelf space to your closet allows you to stack items more effectively, thereby letting you make use of the vertical space in your closet, as well as the horizontal space.  You can use fixed shelves if you so desire, but adjustable shelves offer the added benefit of being easily altered if and when your needs change. If you'd like to store some items that won't fit on shelves, consider adding the shelves just on 1 side, only on the top, or solely on the bottom. You can store smaller items in small containers like these and rest them on the shelves in your closest. Doing this makes it easier to access your items as you need them while also getting the most out of the space.   If using wicker, opt for a linen or canvas lined basket, especially if storing items made from cloth. The lining should prevent your items from getting snagged or ripped. Clear bins are especially helpful because they allow you to see your items, making it easier to recall what is contained in each bin. If you end up using bins or storage containers that do not have see-through sides, you should label those containers so that you can remember what each one holds. Choose colored bins for added style or as part of your organizational strategy. For example, you could assign each family member a color so they can easily find their items. If you keep your shoes in your closet, keep them organized with a shoe rack that either sits on the floor or hangs from the closet rod. This will make better use of your space and help you keep your shoes more organized.  You can use an actual shoe caddy, or you can buy stackable plastic shoe boxes. No matter what you use, the idea is to organize your shoes into pairs while minimizing the amount of space you use to do this. As with everything else, rotate your shoes according to the season. Bring boots toward the front during winter and sandals toward the front during summer. If you have empty space inside the closet, just above the door, you can install hooks or pegs there and use the area to store...

Adding water to the slow cooker will keep it from drying out the already cooked rice. You can always add more water later on during the warming process if the rice seems to be getting dry.  If you cooked your rice in the slow cooker, then unplug your slow cooker and leave the rice in the lidded pot. You can add a little bit of water to moisten the rice if needed, but the already heated slow cooker should keep your rice warm and moist for 1 to 2 hours after making it. Slow cookers and crock-pots are great tools for keeping rice warm. Each provides low and stable temperatures that will keep the rice from overcooking or burning. The lowest setting should be able to heat the water enough to keep the rice warm. If you believe that your lowest setting on your particular slow cooker will not be able to do this, then use your best judgement and increase the temperature setting. You can always check on the rice and lower the setting later if it seems too high. Since you have water in the bottom of the pot it might splash up in your face. So add the rice one spoonful at a time to prevent this from happening. After you spoon the rice into the slow cooker, try and even out any rice mounds so the rice can stay warm evenly. Just do not mash or press on the rice too hard because it might make the rice mushy or stick to the slow cooker. You want the water you added to the pot to coat the rice. This will keep the rice from sticking to the pot and burning. When stirring the rice, try to fold or fluff it. This will help rotate the rice up from the bottom of the slow cooker, and it will also prevent the rice from becoming mashed. You want to maintain a small layer of water at the bottom of the slow cooker to keep the rice from burning. So add small amounts of water if the water seems to be evaporating. The rice will be able to stay warm in the slow cooker or crock-pot for 2 to 3 hours. Any longer than that and the texture of the rice will begin to become soft and mushy.

Adhesive hooks come in different weight capacities, and you'll want to make sure the hooks you get are strong enough to hold up your curtains and curtain rod so they don't fall. Generally, adhesive hooks that can hold up to 16 pounds (7.3 kg) should work.  You'll need 2 adhesive hooks per pair of curtains you want to hang up. You can find adhesive hooks online or at your local hardware store. Since you'll be using 2 adhesive hooks, each hook only needs to hold half of the weight of your curtains. For example, if your curtains and curtain rod weigh 32 pounds (15 kg) in total, you would need 2 adhesive hooks that can hold up to 16 pounds (7.3 kg) each. Many adhesive hook brands have stylized versions, made with steel or wood rather than plastic. Opt for these varieties if the aesthetic of your curtains is important to you. Draw a square at least 2 in (5.1 cm) wide in the corner of the piece of cardboard. Then, cut it out with scissors to create a right angle. You'll use the piece of cardboard with the right angle in the corner to mark where you want to hang up your adhesive hooks so they're level with each other. The corner of the window should be aligned with the right angle you cut out of the cardboard. Hold one of the adhesive hooks over the cardboard where you want to hang it, and mark the bottom of it on the cardboard with a pencil. Keep the cardboard aligned with the corner of the window while you puncture it with the pencil. You want the mark on the wall to be directly behind the mark on the cardboard. Try twisting and pressing on the pencil simultaneously to puncture the cardboard. Align the right angle on the cardboard with the other side of the window, and use the pencil to make a mark through the hole you punctured in it. Now you should have a mark on each side of the window to show you where to hang your adhesive hooks. The marks should be level. Take the adhesive strip off of the back of your hooks and press them firmly on the wall so the marks you made are lined up with the bottoms of the hooks....

Adjust the rack to the center of the oven before heating it. Divide the squash in two, lengthwise, and remove the seeds and pulp. Place on a baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and roast for about 35 minutes, until a fork inserted in the thickest part of the stem meets no resistance. When done, remove from oven and let cool completely. When the squash is cool, scoop out  2 cups of pulp. Add pulp and all spices to your food processor (or blender), then add milk, eggs, sugar and spices, and mix until smooth and creamy. With a rubber spatula, scrape out every bit of delicious squash goodness into the shell, and smooth evenly. Place the pie on the oven rack, and bake 45 to 50 minutes, until a knife slipped into the center of the pie comes out clean. Remove, and let cool on a wire rack. Serve with whipped cream, a mug of hot spiced apple cider, a cup of coffee, or a cold glass of fresh milk.

Adjust the temperature to your zone of comfort, making sure to check the temperature with your hand or wrist and not your feet, as your feet can have less sensation. Be sure to keep the temperature warm, but not hot. Add mild dish soap or body wash into the water. Swirl the water until you see a layer of bubbles appear on the top.  Use a tub that is large enough to accommodate your feet with a little extra room. You can also use a bar of soap as an alternative to liquid soap. If you have diabetes or another similar health condition, make sure you check the temperature of the water using your wrist and not any part of your lower extremities. In order to properly clean your feet you must soak them in the soapy water. Sit down in a chair and gently place your feet into the tub until they reach the bottom and/or are completely underneath the water.  If you have built-up dirt on your feet, let them soak for at least 5 minutes. Wipe up any water that splashes out of the tub to prevent injury from slips. Washing your feet daily prevents foot odor and infection. Using a towel, loofah, or sponge to scrub the dirt away will leave your feet sparkly clean. If you have built-up dirt, you will need to scrub a little harder and use more soap.  Soak your towel, loofah, or sponge in the water and wring it out so it’s moist, but not soaked. Gently scrub each foot, focusing your attention on the arch of your foot, in between toes, and under toenails. Rinse the towel between cleaning each foot. If using a bar a soap, lather it up and apply soap all around both feet. If you notice the water is very dirty, discard it and get fresh water to rinse off the soap. Excess moisture on your feet and between your toes can promote growth of bacteria and fungi.  To prevent infection, it is important to keep your feet as dry as possible. Drying after washing will also prevent the build-up of new dirt on your feet.  Pat your feet dry with a clean towel instead of rubbing, especially if you have a medical condition such as diabetes.  Be sure to...

Adjust the weight up or down to fit your needs. You'll know you're doing the right number of reps when the last one is difficult to complete. Bend at the knee and lean forward so that your torso is almost parallel to the ground. Keep your back straight and your shoulders facing forward.  Your back leg should remain straight. Let your right hand (holding the dumbbell) hang free in a relaxed position. If you need additional stability, rest your left hand on something nearby, such as a stool or bench. Your upper arm should be parallel with the ground. The dumbbell should be pointed up toward the sky. Keep your upper arm pulled in close to your body.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comienza con una mancuerna de 5 kg (10 libras). Párate con el pie izquierdo adelante y la mancuerna en la mano derecha. Flexiona el codo y eleva el brazo derecho hasta la altura de los hombros.


Adjust the weight up or down to fit your needs. You'll know you're doing the right number of reps when the last one is difficult to complete. You can be sitting or standing.

Adjust your chair so that your forearms are level with your keyboard. You shouldn't have to hunch down or reach up to use your keyboard. This position is optimal for keeping your wrists in a neutral position. Sit up nice and tall instead of slouching. This will keep your body from feeling too much strain in any one area, including your wrists. Also, keep your work right out in front of you so you don't have to bend or twist to one side or another to reach it. This will also keep you from straining your wrists too much. If your forearms are level with your keyboard, then this should not be difficult. Using a mouse that is too large or too small can make you strain your wrists and use more force than necessary. A vertical mouse will keep your hand in the handshake position. If you use one of these, you'll never have to flex your wrist when clicking. It does take a little while to get used to the mouse, but once you do, you'll be glad you got one. Though they can be a little pricey ($70 or more, in some cases), they will be well worth it. The split keyboard is a keyboard that splits down the middle, allowing you to type with both hands in the handshake position. You can adjust the keyboard to split a little bit at first, moving it to split more drastically as you get used to it. You can plug it into your keyboard and rest it right over your original board. This will have a dramatic effect for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome. These keyboards range from $30 to hundreds of dollars, and it's up to you to decide what kind works best for you. Don't splurge on an expensive split keyboard if you've never used one, though, or you may find that it's not for you.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén los antebrazos nivelados con el teclado. Mantén una postura adecuada. Mantén tus manos y muñecas alineadas con tus antebrazos. Usa herramientas que sean del tamaño adecuado para tus manos. Usa un ratón vertical. Consigue un teclado dividido.


Admission into a school of nursing requires a high school diploma or, alternately, passing the General Education Development (GED) test. If you want to be a nurse, pay attention to your performance, skill, and interest in courses like biology, physiology, and chemistry throughout high school. The knowledge from these courses will be important in your post-secondary education.

Admission will generally cost between 2-14 euros. Most museums also have designated free hours when they waive admission for all visitors. Check museum websites to find out when their free hours are. For example, the Museo del Prado in Madrid offers free admission every Monday through Saturday at 6-8 pm, and on Sundays at 5-7 pm. If you're staying in a major city and you plan to do a lot of sightseeing, this is a great way to save money. Most passes include access to several different museums, attractions, and activities. You can purchase passes for major cities like Madrid and Barcelona online through private companies' websites.  If you're traveling with your family or a big group, you may be eligible for a discount as well. Some of the activities may include sporting events, walking tours of the city, or meal discounts. If you visit a major Spanish city during the summer, odds are you'll be in town for a local festival. These are free to attend, and they can truly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Google the local festivals or ask your hotel, Airbnb owner, or local guide about any events coming up for more details.  For example, you could visit Barcelona in late September to catch the Festes de la Mercé, which fills the city with free concerts, dancing, fireworks, acrobatics, and lively parades. Carnival is celebrated all throughout Spain, but the biggest parties are in Tenerife and Cadiz. These cities dedicate the whole month of February to glittering parades, contests, and parties in honor of Carnival. Spain's cities are full of beautiful cathedrals and impressive mansions, especially Barcelona, Seville, Granada, Salamanca, and Córdoba. Although the interiors cost a small admission fee to view, but the exteriors are just as impressive and absolutely free!  In Barcelona, you can walk around and take in the dramatic, powerful work of Antoni Gaudí, such as the Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, and the Sagrada Família. In Granada, you can visit the Alhambra Palace, an elaborate Moorish castle and fortress.

Admitting that you have an eating disorder and deciding to tell your partner can be an extremely difficult process. You may feel embarrassed, guilty, or ashamed of your actions and your condition. As you make the choice to tell your partner, decide if you trust them and if they will support you and understand your struggle. You need someone who will be there for you when you have difficulties, who can offer a shoulder to cry on or a listening ear, and who will not trigger you by obsessively talking about food or constantly ridiculing you. You may not want to tell your partner everything about your eating disorder right away. You may want to just tell them the basics, like the type of eating disorder that you have and what your treatment is. Decide what you feel comfortable sharing. For example, you may not want to share all of your unhealthy habits or your health problems just yet. You may decide to share some health problems but keep some of your feelings and anxieties to yourself. Your partner will react to this new knowledge when you tell them. They may have a lot of different reactions. Your partner may be shocked, upset, concerned, sad, angry, or relieved. The news may be distressing to hear. You should prepare for your partner to have a range of emotions, including negative ones.  Just because your partner has a negative reaction at the beginning doesn’t mean that they won’t be supportive or understanding. This news may be a lot for them to take in, so give them time to process and come to terms with your condition. For example, your partner may say, "I don't understand. You look great! I don't think you have an eating disorder" or "But you're working on losing weight and you're almost to your goal. That's not an eating disorder." Telling your partner about your eating disorder will probably be very stressful for you. You may feel a lot of emotions afterwards, even if the reaction is a positive one. Remember that regardless of your partner’s response, you have to stay focused on you and your recovery....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Determina si es posible que tu pareja sea comprensiva al respecto. Determina cuánto le dirás a tu pareja. Prepárate para la posible reacción de tu pareja. Piensa en lo que tú necesites.

Adrenal insufficiency, or Addison's disease, occurs when your body does not release enough cortisol. It is a rare, chronic condition with no cure; however, hormone treatment can be effective. Symptoms of adrenal insufficiency include:  Extreme fatigue Weight loss Low blood pressure, which can lead to fainting Low blood sugar Reduced appetite and/or salt cravings Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting Abdominal pain Muscle or joint pain Irritability Depression Darkening of the skin Your doctor can perform tests to diagnose any issues with your adrenal gland. Some tests your doctor might run include:  A blood test to measure levels of sodium, potassium, cortisol, and ACTH. An ACTH stimulation test, in which the cortisol levels in your blood will be measured before and after an injection of synthetic ACTH. If your adrenal gland is damaged, there will be no change in your cortisol level. CT scan to check the size of your adrenal gland. If your doctor finds that you have Addison's disease or another adrenal disease, follow your doctor's instructions for treatment. Adrenal insufficiency can be life-threatening if not treated, and can lead to an adrenal crisis.  Take oral corticosteroids. Hydrocortisone, prednisone or cortisone acetate may be taken orally to replace cortisol.  Take corticosteroid injections if you are ill or in case of emergency. If you are vomiting and cannot keep your medication down or if you experience an emergency like an adrenal crisis, you can inject yourself with corticosteroids.  Keep extra medication with you. Forgetting your medication can have serious consequences. Keep an extra supply at work; in your purse, briefcase, or backpack; and in a travel bag or suitcase.  Consider wearing a medical alert bracelet and carrying a medical alert card in your wallet.

Adriana is in great shape. She has to be. She's a Victoria's Secret model. She hired a professional nutritionist, though, to help her lose 50 pounds after she gave birth to her daughter.  Buy a scale. Hold yourself accountable for what you eat and how you let yourself go.  She thinks high-intensity workouts are best. She likes to sweat and to jump rope.  Ten minutes of jumping rope equals 35 minutes of running. She says you can burn 1,000 calories per hour long jumping rope session. To look as fit as Adriana, you have to clean up your diet. Eat a lot of steamed or raw vegetables, especially green ones like kale and broccoli. Season them with olive oil and sea salt.   She doesn't snack. But if you must, eat fruit. She suggests blackberries and blueberries. She eats green vegetables usually, steamed or raw. Things like asparagus and spinach. Eat every two to three hours. Drink at least two quarts of water daily. Take supplemental vitamins. If you get hungry, try a rice bar. When she's about to go on a show, she works out twice a day with a personal trainer. She jumps rope, boxes, and lifts weights.   She also sees a nutritionist who measured her body's muscle mass and levels of water retention. She drinks protein shakes, vitamins and supplements. She drinks a gallon of water every day. For nine days before the show, she drinks only protein shakes that include powder egg. She was once quoted as saying that, two days before a fashion show, she stops drinking extra water. However, she claimed she was misquoted. Not only is this dangerous, but it's not Adriana's look, either. She stresses to her trainers that she wants to retain some curves.  One exercise she did to get into shape after she had her baby is called the Aerosquat. To perform it, bend down. Touch the index and middle finger of both hands to the ground.

Adult grips range from 4 to 4 & 5/8ths inches. To find yours, measure from the middle line in your palm to the top of your middle finger -- this is your grip size, in inches.  Another good rule of thumb is to hold the racquet in your dominant hand, like you would hold it to play. Slide the index finger of the opposite hand in between the tips of your fingers and the base of your palm on the racquet. If there isn't enough room for your index finger, the racquet grip is too small. If there is a lot of extra room, the racquet grip is too large. If you're between two sizes, choose the smaller one because you can always increase the circumference by adding an overgrip tape (a soft, padded, cloth-like tape wrapped around the grip). The traditional length of racquet is about 27 to 28 inches (68.6 to 71.1 cm), but you can get longer racquets of up to 29 inches (73.7 cm). The longer the length of the racquet, the greater the leverage on a swing, therefore giving more power to a shot.  The trade-off, however, is that longer racquets are a little less maneuverable and difficult to aim. Beginners should start with a normal, 27" racquet. Depending on your needs, skill level, and style of play, you'll need a different racquet to reach your full potential. The three most common styles are:   Power/Game Improvement Racquets: Characterized by large heads, longer style, and light weight, these are mostly for beginners-intermediate players or anyone who wants a little more power on their shot.  Tweener Racquets: This well-balanced racquet is designed for all levels of skill and offer a good balance of power, control, and maneuverability.  Control/Player's Racquets: The professional design, these racquets have small heads designed for maximum control. The player adds in their own power to the shot. They can be long or short, and are generally heavier than other racquets. If you're starting to play tennis you want a forgiving racquet that allows for plenty of power without over-swinging. Choose a grip that fits you well and aim...

Adult plants are very tolerant of dry soil, and may not even require watering at all in wet or cool climates. During hot weather, water once or twice a week. Over-watering can lead to excessive vine growth with few flowers. Give them access to a trellis or arbor for shade, or let them grow on a dead tree or post. They cannot climb flat surfaces, so hang plastic netting in front of a wall or solid fence if you'd like the vines to grow there. Give the vines plenty of space; some varieties can grow 15 feet (4.6m) in a single season. Since most morning glory vines die every year, allowing your morning glory to climb living trees is acceptable as the vines will not harm the tree. (Don't try this in areas with mild winters, which morning glories can survive.) Fertilize when your morning glory is first planted, then no more than once a month during the growing season. If you fertilize too often, you will encourage foliage instead of blooms. Since morning glories have few problems with disease, you should find it easy to keep your morning glory plant healthy. Insect problems are also rare, but it's worth the occasional check for aphids and other insects. Your local nursery can help you address the problem if it occurs, usually with an organic pesticide. Morning glories are prolific and long-lasting bloomers, although they sometimes take a month or two to get started. Each individual flower opens in the morning and dies off before the end of the day. This makes morning glories one of the most interesting and beautiful flowers to decorate your garden. Air temperature will alter the color of the bloom and the length of time it stays open. Morning glories can survive a mild frost, but in most climates they will die in early winter. Morning glories are aggressive re-seeders, which is good and bad news from the gardener. You won't need to buy any more seeds for next season, but you might discover that your whole garden starts growing vines. Clear away the dead vines promptly to prevent this. New seeds will usually grow...

Riega las correhuelas con moderación. Proporciónales materiales para trepar. Evita utilizar mucho fertilizante. Verifica la presencia de plagas de vez en cuando. Observa el ciclo de floración. Elimina las enredaderas muertas en invierno.


Adult scoliosis is often the result of either untreated or unrecognized cases of childhood scoliosis. If the cause of the spinal curve during childhood is unknown, it's called idiopathic scoliosis and this category comprises about 80% of all cases. If you're born with the condition, it's referred to as congenital scoliosis. Most congenital cases are also idiopathic.  Relatively common congenital causes of scoliosis include spina bifida, muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. About 40% of adult scoliosis patients experience at least a small progression of their spinal curves. Although most adult cases of scoliosis are both congenital and idiopathic, up to 20% of cases are caused by known degenerative conditions of the spine, such as arthritis. The most common type of arthritis of the spine is the "wear and tear" type called osteoarthritis, which typically affects the lower lumbar spine because it bears the most weight from the upper body. Osteoarthritis of the spine affects the vast majority of people (to varying degrees) older than the age of 55 years.  The discs and joints connecting the lumbar vertebrae often wear down with age, and sometimes unevenly, which causes a lateral listing or scoliosis and uneven hips / pelvis. This can easily be seen on x-rays. Your risk of developing osteoarthritis of the spine is greater if you are overweight, sedentary, do lots of sitting, and have a poor diet that's low in minerals, vitamins and protein. Severe spinal arthritis can be treated with surgical techniques that fuse and straighten the spine. Another secondary degenerative cause of adult scoliosis is osteoporosis (loss of bone mass) of the spine. Osteoporosis most often affects the upper thoracic spine, and because it leads to brittle bones, the vertebrae there eventually fracture and collapse. Often osteoporosis of the thoracic spine creates a hunch back appearance, and sometimes due to an uneven collapse, the spine also lists to the side (laterally) to create a scoliosis.  Osteoporosis is much more common in...

Adult women are more prone to dry skin and rosacea, a common skin condition that causes redness and irritation. Some topical acne medications may cause additional skin irritation. Discontinue use if your acne or skin irritation worsens. It is important to cleanse your face and hands prior to any topical application. Reducing the risk of spreading bacteria that might cause you to have more breakouts. Wash your hands with any type of soap and warm water. Then wash your face with your regular facial cleanser. When your skin produces too much sebum, or oil, it can lead to acne. If your skin is oily, apply a topical product or mask formulated to absorb excess oil. This may help reduce your menopausal acne.  Try an over the counter salicylic acid product. You can also have your doctor prescribe a product that absorbs oil if your acne is severe. Consider applying a clay mask once a week. This can also absorb excess oil and may reduce acne-causing impurities.  Keep some oil blotting papers in your handbag or makeup kit. Placing one on oily spots can also soak up excess oil. This is particularly useful in hot climates or if you are exercising. Benzoyl peroxide is an anti-bacterial medication that can reduce acne. Apply a small amount to any areas affected by menopausal acne after cleansing. This may reduce your acne and prevent breakouts.  Get an over the counter product with benzoyl peroxide in a 5% or 10% solution. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the product or its active ingredients.  Begin treatment slowly. Apply a 5% gel or lotion once a day after cleansing your skin and hands. Increase usage to twice a day after a week. Change to the 10% solution if don’t see any improvement in your acne within 4-6 weeks.  You may notice some initial side effects from using benzoyl peroxide. This could be shown by redness, dryness, and scaling which usually gets better after the first month.  Consider trying products that contain sulfur or resorcinol if benzoyl peroxide is too harsh for your skin. If you are...

Adults are not as quick at learning new skills as children and they may find it difficult to remember letter sounds and words that a child would pick up easily. However, teaching an adult how to read is also an extremely rewarding experience. You will just need time and a considerable amount of patience.  Unlike children, adult learners cannot spend several hours in a classroom every day. If they are juggling work and family life, they will have a couple of hours a week at most to work on their reading. This can significantly prolong the learning process. Illiterate adults may also have a lifetime's worth of negative experiences and emotions that they associate with their inability to read, which can be difficult to overcome. In order to find out where to begin, you will need to assess your student's current reading ability. This may be a professional assessment or simply asking the learner to do whatever reading and writing he/she already knows, and taking note of where he/she struggles.  Continue observing your learner's level throughout the learning process. If he or she consistently struggles with a particular skill or concept, take it as a cue to help work on that skill. An illiterate adult's greatest challenge is overcoming insecurity about their ability to read. Many adults suffer from a lack of confidence and from the fear that it is too late for them to learn how to read. Express confidence in their learning abilities and reassure them that it is never too late to start.  Reassure them that their familiarity with spoken English and their pre-existing vocabulary will play a major role in learning how to read. Many adults have spent years hiding their inability to read from teachers, family and co-workers. Let them know that they no longer need to be ashamed or embarrassed and that you respect their courage in coming to you to learn to read. When teaching adults, look for materials that are not too childish, or at least ask whether they mind using children's materials. However, keep in mind that...

Tendrás que comprender que enseñar a un adulto a leer es una tarea difícil. Evalúa su capacidad. Hazlo sentir seguro. Usa los materiales apropiados. Procura que sea pertinente.


Adults should learn literacy in many of the same ways as a child would. These are basic building blocks and should not be skipped, just because they are simplistic. Streamline the learning process by giving your students the most basic skills so that they will be prepared for the more complex ones. Because there is such a social stigma attached to adult illiteracy, you will absolutely have to develop trust with your students. Do not judge them, do not make them feel stupid, do not criticize them for mistakes and be patient with them at all times. Most of all, show them that you make mistakes too. Show them when you don’t know things. Let them see you look a word up in a dictionary, to find its spelling or meaning. Let them see you ask for help when you need it, such as if you are unsure of the grammar of a sentence. Modeling behavior in this way will show your students that not knowing something is not a sign of stupidity or weakness of character. Build their self confidence. Illiterate adults are often ashamed of themselves for not knowing how to read or write. Building their confidence will encourage them to take risks without fear of mistake or rejection. Doing that is essential to the learning process. When your students do well, tell them so. When your student makes a mistake, emphasize any way in which they were right or acting logically before showing them how to do it correctly. People who love something will always put more work into it and do it better at it than those who are doing something they don’t like. Give your students a reason to love what they are doing. Men might enjoy being able to read sports stories or game descriptions, where women might enjoy reading about beauty tips or how to make their own clothes and accessories. Slowly move them from the basic skills to the higher levels, as outlined in the teen section. With time they will reach a skill level appropriate with their age. This will significantly improve their work prospects as well as their confidence.

Simplifica. Genera confianza. Desarrolla la seguridad. Fomenta la pasión. Desarrolla las habilidades para los niveles correctos.


Adults who have long lived with dyslexia often struggle with many of the same problems as children. Common signs of reading and writing difficulties among adults include:  Reading slowly and with many inaccuracies. Poor spelling. Dyslexics may also spell the same word multiple ways in a single piece of writing. Inadequate vocabulary. Difficulty with planning and organization, including outlining and summarizing information. Poor memory skills and trouble storing information after reading. Many adults will have developed coping strategies to compensate for their dyslexia. These strategies include:  Avoiding reading and writing. Relying on others to spell. Procrastinating on reading and writing tasks. Relying on memory rather than reading. Even though dyslexics may have difficulty reading, this is not indicative of a lack of intelligence. In fact, dyslexics often have outstanding "people skills" and are very intuitive and effective at reading others. They also tend to have strong spatial thinking skills and may work in fields requiring these skills such as engineering and architecture. Once identified as dyslexic, adults can learn strategies to become more effective readers and writers; this, in turn, may increase their self-esteem. Speak to a medical professional to find a professional (usually a psychologist) to administer the appropriate tests.

Adults with ADHD generally benefit from psychotherapy.  This treatment helps individuals accept who they are, while at the same time helps them seek improvements to their situation.  Cognitive behavioral therapy directly geared toward treating ADHD has been useful for many patients. This type of therapy addresses some of the core problems caused by ADHD, such as time management and organizational issues.  If the person with ADHD is reluctant to seek professional help, you can explain it as building skills. Exactly like going to an extracurricular learning activity, Sunday school, or school itself, the goal is to learn specific skills, techniques, and ideas. You may also suggest to family members to visit a therapist. Therapy can also provide a safe place for family members to vent their frustrations in a healthy way and work out issues with professional guidance. If a family member is reluctant to go to seek professional help, you can phrase it as them helping you. For example, you might say, "Hi, Mom. I would like for you to see my therapist because it will help me improve at understanding the greater needs of the family." It will actually help your therapist give you useful, relevant techniques for navigating situations. Numerous organizations provide individual support as well as networking amongst members who can get together online or in person to share problems and solutions. Search online for a support group in your area.  Support groups are particularly good venues for people who do not think they need help, or who successfully handle their ADHD. These individuals can take on leadership roles and teach what they know while still learning from others. The support group you like the most might be for ADHD individuals only, or for different  groups of people and interests. Consider joining a hobby group or club regarding one of your passions or interests. Examples include a dance club, book club, women's business group, gym class, animal shelter volunteering, and soccer team. There are numerous online...

Advantage for cats comes in packs of four or six, and is divided into three weight categories: under 5 pounds (kittens), five to nine pounds (small cats), and over nine pounds (large cats). Advantage for kittens is available in packs of four, and Advantage for small and large cats is available in packs of four or six.  If you are unsure of cat’s weight, weigh them or look at the medical report from their most recent veterinary visit. Advantage should  not  be applied to kittens under two pounds, or cats less than eight weeks old. Slide the tube down to the bottom of the pouch, if it is not already there. Next, use scissors to open the top of the pouch. Remove one tube from the pouch. Use only one tube per application of Advantage. Opening the tube of Advantage is not as simple as just untwisting the cap.  First, using the thumb and index finger of your non-dominant hand, hold the tube upright and away from you and your cat’s eyes and face. Then, use your dominant hand to untwist the cap. Invert the cap and push it back on top of the tube. To break the seal on the tube, twist the cap. After the seal is broken, remove the cap and place it to the side.

Advantix is not a ‘one size fits all’ treatment, so you will need to make sure that you choose the correct dosage. Advantix comes in four dosage levels according to a dog’s weight. If you do not know your dog’s weight, contact your veterinarian or refer to the paperwork from your dog’s most recent veterinary visit.  Advantix comes in packs of four or six.  Small dogs (4 to 10 pounds) – 0.4 milliliters (mL)   Medium dogs (11 to 20 pounds) – 1.0 mL  Large dogs (21 to 55 pounds) – 2.5 mL  Extra-large dogs (over 55 pounds) – 5.0 mL You can either separate and peel the foil down with your fingers or use scissors to open the foil packaging. Using scissors may be easier and quicker. There is a specific way to remove the cap so that you can dispense the Advantix from the tube; it is not as simple as just twisting off the cap and squeezing out the product. First, make sure that you are holding the tube in the upright position. Next, remove the cap, turn it upside down, and put it back on the tube.  Placing the upside-down cap back on the tube will break the seal on the top of the tube, allowing you to squeeze out the Advantix.  When you see that the seal has broken, remove the cap from the tube and lace it to the side.

Adverbs are added to sentences in order to provide an additional level of clarity or detail. When you are teaching students, remind them of the importance of adverbs by listing out the questions that they can respond to. Ask your students to offer suggestions and write them on the board.  For example, adverbs can address the questions of, “How? How much? In what condition? When? Where? Why?” At this time, you may also want to have students ask, “Does the word end in –ly?” This is an easy way for younger students to identify adverbs. It’s important for students to know that there are a few specific categories that different adverbs fall into. Explain to your students that learning about categories of adverbs will make them easier to identify and modify. Discuss how there are adverbs that provide descriptions of time, location, and the manner of events or actions.  For example, adverbs of time include answers to questions regarding frequency and timing. Soon, early, and tomorrow are adverbs of time. Adverbs of location help to answer the question of, “Where?” Upstairs, downstairs, and inside are all adverbs of location. Adverbs of manner help to answer the question of, “How?” Sadly, quietly, and quickly are all adverbs of manner. After you’ve provided a general explanation of what adverbs are and what categories they can belong to, open the floor to any student questions about sentence construction and adverbs.  Give yourself plenty of teaching time for this conversation, as it might take several minutes. Expect younger students to have fewer questions. They’ll likely require more instruction on the basics of sentence construction as well.

Identifica todas las preguntas posibles que puedan responderse con adverbios. Haz una lista de todas las categorías de adverbios. Pregunta a los alumnos sobre las dudas que tengan acerca de los adverbios.


Advertising is necessary to growing your business.  It can also act as a way to create word-of-mouth business from satisfied customers, who have a copy of your flyer to give a friend.  Start simple. Use a free, downloadable program, design a brochure, and take it to Kinko’s, or choose a service like Vistaprint to create a flyer that contains your contact information and a description of the sewing services you provide.  If you provide a variety of different sewing services, consider making different flyers, tailored to each customer type (for example, a flyer designed for a children’s shop would look different than one for a department store or bridal boutique). For an online storefront, consider an email list.  Customers can elect to receive updates when new products or services are available. Create coupons for customers who give you consistent business.  Some ideas for this are:  Bulk purchase promotions. Offer one free item for a certain number purchased. A loyalty card. Print off business cards with decals along the edge.  For every time a customer orders an alteration or repair, stamp on the decal.   After a set number of decals have been stamped, offer the customer a free or reduced cost service. Offer shipping discounts.  For online stores, if customers order multiple items, offer combined shipping. Give “extras”-- make a batch of small, quick projects out of left over materials that you can include with an order for free and that make the customer feel appreciated. Often when customers are ordering a specific type of service or item, they  want to see a collection of projects that you’ve already completed.  Not only this, often they can point to prior projects and say “This is perfect. Can we do this with a different [color/size/pattern]?”  Be sure to take pictures of elaborate, advanced, or particularly unusual or attractive projects.  These also make good brochure photos. Even if you don’t have an online storefront, consider having a webpage and portfolio available via the internet. If you’ve only...

Advocates for the use of electronic collars state that the collars give a small electrical shock, similar to a shock from static build up, that does not hurt the dog. They also argue that these collars can actually give dogs quite a bit of freedom, as you will have a way to control your dog when it is off leash. There is some debate among those that use electronic collars about what the collars should be used for. Some argue that the collars should only be used on dogs that have severe behavior problems, for instance to change behavior that could get a dog put down. There are others that use the collars for correcting behavior, such as if a dog gets into a garden bed the owner will turn on the collar to teach the dog that this behavior is bad. There are others still that use the collar to signal a dog to do positive behaviors, such as sitting, staying, or lying down. Those opposed to the use of these collars state that there is a great chance of misuse and abuse when using a shock collar. In addition, opponents argue that other training systems, such as simple positive reinforcement of behavior, can be just as effective. While positive reinforcement makes the training about the dog's choice of behavior, positive punishment with a shock collar forces a dog to choose between pain and behavior. Make the decision for yourself whether you think an electronic collar will help your dog learn what they shouldn't do. If you do decide to use it, make sure to follow the manufactures instructions and use the collar properly, not as punishment but to reinforce behavior.

Advocates of the more outdated pack theory believe that an owner should assert dominance over a dog using physical force and reprimands to communicate that the owner is the pack leader.  However, what the dog really needs is discipline through effective training. Clicker training is a reward-based training method that teaches a dog to associate the “click-clack” of a clicker with getting a reward.  The “click-clack” marks the exact moment of the good behavior, so the dog understands exactly what he has done right, and is rewarded with a treat.  Begin with basic commands such as “sit,” “stay,” and “here,” then move on to commands like “fetch” and “give.” Eventually, your dog will become habituated to looking to you for commands and guidance even without the clicker. A dog often shows signs associated with dominance in public situations.  This is often because the dog is under greater pressure, is being challenged by other dogs, or feels the need to protect himself or you.  Maintaining control of your dog by reminding him of his obedience training can help you avoid unwanted situations. If your dog exhibits aggressive or inappropriate behavior when meeting another dog in public, you should neither reward nor punish his behavior.  Petting your dog to comfort him rewards the behavior, while punishing him may increase his anxiety or confusion.  Instead, you should retrain the habit by using a friend with an amiable dog.  Have your friend stand with her dog at the end of your street, and gradually begin to walk towards them. When your dog sees the other dog in the distance, have him sit and reward him for sitting nicely. Signal for your friend to bring her dog a bit closer. Reward your dog for continuing to sit nicely.  Repeat the signal and allow your friend’s dog to come closer and closer while your dog continues to sit.  Work for 5-10 minutes, and then give your dog a rest for the day. The next day, begin the 5-10 minute session at the distance that the previous day left off.  Eventually, your dog should become...

Aeration allows the grass to breathe, and also enables water and nutrients reach the root system more efficiently. Failure to aerate your lawn sufficiently will make it much more difficult for grass and plants to survive during the hottest part of the season.  Perform the process in the autumn if your lawn is a cool-season grass, like bluegrass or ryegrass. If you live in a climate where warm-season grasses thrive, aerate in early spring. Many experts suggest aerating your lawn every 1 to 3 years, but high-traffic areas may require more frequent attention. Go over your lawn from end to end with a rake to clear it of thatch, or decaying plant material, that has accumulated on the ground. A thick layer of thatch can block sunlight and prevent water from reaching deep down to the roots of the grass. Dethatch in late autumn while you're raking leaves to prepare your yard for the summer. Consider raking again in spring, particularly if your lawn shows evidence of compaction. Fertilizers supplement the nutrients found in your lawn's soil and keeps grass growing thick and lush. Apply fertilizer at least twice a year during the peak growing seasons of your lawn. Scale back fertilizing about 30 days before the highest summer temperatures hit.  Cool-season grasses: lawns comprised of these types of grasses should be fertilized during early spring and at the onset of fall. Use fertilizer with higher nitrogen concentrations when fertilizing in autumn to ensure the survival of the grass. Warm-season grasses: these varieties flourish during the summer months. A nitrogen-rich fertilizer should be spread in the spring, when the lawn shows its first signs of vibrancy. Fertilize again in late summer. This should be done prior to your grass's peak growing season, preferably in the fall. Till the soil and spread the seed evenly across the bare spot to fill in gaps in the lawn growth. Use a standard fertilizer and water the area as you normally would. Add nitrogen-rich fertilizer after the seeds have germinated to ensure robust growth.

Aeration is one of the most important things in caring for and keeping your sea monkeys alive. Aerating is the process in which oxygen is added to the water of the tank. Your sea monkeys need oxygen-rich water to survive and thrive. Consider:  Aerate at least once a week. If you choose to aerate your water by pouring it back and forth, remove your sea monkeys with an aqua leash or similar device and put them into an alternate tank first. Take a straw and blow air into the tank every couple of days. Buy an aerating system that will continually aerate the water. Baby sea monkeys consume and need a great deal of oxygen in the beginning of their life. After you initially feed your sea monkeys growth food, you need to feed your sea monkeys every five days. This makes sure they have enough food to grow and thrive in your tank.  Feed them the appropriate amount as directed on the package. Never feed them more than once every five days. Only feed them sea monkey food. Sea monkeys often supplement their food supple with algae and other plant life that grows in the tank. You’ll want to make sure that your tank maintains the same level of water over time. To do this, you need to replace your water from time to time. It’s probably best to schedule a time every week when you’ll add more water to your tank.  Replace evaporated water with non-chlorinated water. Make sure any new water is the same temperature as the existing tank water. You don’t want to add super cold or hot water. Pour the water in slowly so you don’t hurt or disturb your friends. Sometimes you might notice that the water in your tank is a little cloudy or dirty. When this happens, don’t drain the water or clean it. Chances are, there’s too much food or other organic material in the tank. You need to give the monkeys time to do their job. Simply stop feeding them for a little bit.  When the water is cloudy, stop feeding them and wait a few days. If your water is cloudy, make sure your water is aerated. If the water does not clear up after a few days, you...

African hair should not be washed every day. To preserve your natural oils and prevent breakage caused from dryness, wash your hair about 1 time a week. If your hair is greasy or your scalp is itchy, you can wash your hair more than once a week. This is just a guideline. with your fingers when you are in the shower. Instead of using a brush or a comb, get major tangles out of your hair with your fingers. As your hair is wet, comb through it with your fingers and separate the strands with any knots or tangles. Start from the ends of your hair and work your way up the strands. Detangle your hair before you apply shampoo or conditioner. If your hair is very knotted, apply your shampoo or conditioner first. This lubricates your hair and makes it easier to untangle. In addition, you can use a wide-tooth comb to help untangle it. Only use this if you have to. Shampoos are often too harsh for African hair. To wash your hair yet still provide moisture, use conditioner instead! Apply a generous amount to your hair after you completely wet it, and work the conditioner through your hair with your fingers. In addition, rub the roots of your hair with the conditioner to cleanse your scalp. Finally, rinse your hair thoroughly after 1-3 minutes. If you don’t want to use conditioner as your shampoo, ensure you use sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates in shampoo often strip your hair of natural oils, which help prevent breakage. Apply a generous amount from root to tip after you wash your hair. Let the conditioner sit on your hair for 15-45 minutes. For best results, wrap your hair in a plastic shower cap. Rinse the conditioner out completely after it sits on your hair for awhile.  Applying a deep conditioner prevents hair breakage by infusing your hair with intense conditioning ingredients. Your hair can be damp or dry when using deep conditioner. For a deeper treatment, sit under a hair dryer after you put on the shower cap. The heat will help the conditioner penetrate your hair deeper. Look for deep conditioners for chemically...

After a breakup, friendly communication means that your relationship is still positive. This means that there is a chance that they still hold a flame for you and want to remain involved in your life.  Some signs of their possible interest are:  Frequent “hello's” and “hi’s” even if you’ve already seen them once that day. These little greetings can mean that they still want to talk to you, but are too nervous and unsure to take further steps. Reaching out to check in via phone or text often. Commenting or liking your social media posts regularly. Sending you pictures of themselves having fun, looking attractive, or doing something you would enjoy. In comparison to communication that is positive, watch out for exes who stalk, manipulate, or frighten you.  If your ex refuses to take no for an answer, then the feelings they have are not ones of love, but of obsession and control.  Watch out and stay away from exes who don’t respect your space. Also, if you have an ex who only contacts you once every few months or only after they’ve ended a relationship, then they likely do not care for you and are only seeking attention. An ex who wants to get back together will often try to be close to you when they do see you.  They might hug you, kiss your check or display other types of physical affection to show that they care.  If they are still very emotional about the breakup, they might also look down, avoid eye contact or even cry. Their feelings may show in their actions.  They might laugh louder, smile a bit too much, or their voice might be higher pitched.  These are signs, sometimes called micro-expressions, that they may still have feelings that they now can't control or are trying to hold back. If your ex tries to schedule get-togethers or makes an effort to frequent the places you frequent, they are trying to spend time with you.  Maybe they’re trying to get your attention or perhaps they just enjoy and miss your presence.  Run-ins may mean that they're looking for a chance to ask you about your feelings. Make...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Determina si se comunica contigo de manera amistosa y continua. Determina si su forma de comunicación no es continua ni respetuosa. Presta atención a su lenguaje corporal. Analiza la frecuencia de sus “discusiones” o las veces en que se reúnen. Ten en cuenta todos los regalos que te ha dado. Presta atención a sus redes sociales. Consulta con los amigos en común. Presta atención a las señales de coqueteo.


After a breakup, it's OK to treat yourself a little. Not only will this make you feel better, it's also good for resisting the urge to spend time with your ex. When you're at home feeling down and starting to think that a reunion would be a good idea, divert your attention to something you know you love.  Basically, you want to replace one "addiction" for another, healthier one.  For example, you can try putting on your favorite music, baking your favorite pastry, or playing your favorite sport. With luck, you won't be thinking about your ex for long. Consider relying on portable distractions when you get wistful for your ex outside of the house (like, for example, on the train). Playing music, movies, or games on your phone, or putting a good old-fashioned book in your backpack, can be very useful for this. Spending time with your most trusted friends is a fantastic idea after a breakup. However, some topics of conversation aren't very helpful. Try to avoid talking about boys when you're hanging out. Your ex is especially off limits, but boys and romance in general should also be avoided. Hearing your friends talk about their partners can make you miss your ex, even if he has nothing to do with these people.  This can, understandably, be a little awkward to bring up. It's OK to say something like, "Hey, do you mind if we don't talk about boys tonight?" Your friends should get the idea, but if they don't, you might follow up with something a little more pointed, like "I'm just trying to get my mind off the subject." Watch out for what is known as the "white bear" example, though.  (The name comes from the idea that if someone tells you not to think of a white bear, the first image likely to pop into your head is a white bear.)  If you make too big a deal about not talking about your ex or boys/relationships in general, you may inadvertently steer the conversation that way. Though it may not seem like it at first, being without a partner can have some major benefits. Keeping these in mind will make getting...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Distráete con las cosas que disfrutas. No participes en temas sobre chicos cuando estés con tus amigos. Enfócate en lo positivo de estar soltera. Mantente activa. No temas fijarte en otros chicos.


After a certain point in casual dating, you may want to transition into a relationship. If you've been seeing someone regularly for a few weeks, it's appropriate to ask about the status of your relationship.  Make sure you have the conversation face-to-face. Text can obscure meaning. It can be a little stressful to ask. However, if you've been seeing a guy regularly, he probably won't be surprised by the boyfriend talk. Try to introduce the subject directly. Don't say, "We need to talk," as this can indicate something is wrong. Just pose the question.  Review what's been happening in the relationship. Say something like, "So, we've been hanging out almost every weekend, and we talk every day. I really enjoy spending time with you." Then, say something like, "I just wanted to know if it's okay to call you my boyfriend or not."  There is a chance the guy may not be interested in an official relationship at this time. If a relationship is something you want, and he doesn't, it may be best to cut your losses and move on. While rejection can hurt, you should not settle for a relationship that does not meet your basic expectations. When you're in high school, it can be very hard to stay away from social media. You and your friends likely engage in a lot of socialization through outlets like Twitter and Facebook. However, use discretion when posting about your relationship.  Your boyfriend may not like having details about himself posted online. He may get annoyed or embarrassed if you post about your relationship all the time. Before posting something, make sure it's okay with him.  You should not post any rude or aggressive statuses directed at your boyfriend when the two of you are fighting. This will only serve to escalate the argument. Remember, if you put something on the internet, it's there forever. You should use discretion when posting about aspects of your relationship. Do not post anything you would not want a future college or employer to see. Compromise is the key to any relationship. It can be hard to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz la transición hacia una relación. Emplea las redes sociales de manera prudente. Comprométete. Mantente al día con tus demás obligaciones. No te quedes con alguien que no te respete.


After a class or after school are usually good times.  You might need just a few minutes to talk to your teacher, or this could be a longer conversation. It's a good idea to ask your teacher after class when a good time would be to come talk with them. They might be free then; if not, they'll suggest a better time.  Don't approach your teacher before class. This is often a busy moment for teachers and they're likely to be distracted. Having your test on hand may help the teacher assess what you need to work on if they let you retake the test. They may have forgotten your grade, as well, particularly if you're in a large class. Also bring any questions you wrote down while looking over your test. Come prepared. Don't immediately launch into the reasons why you  failed; this might make your teacher suspect that you're making up an excuse. Tell your teacher that you accept responsibility for the test and that you're trying to be responsible by asking for a retake. This also makes it clear that you do not blame the teacher for your poor results. It's very possible your teacher will ask why you need the retake. In that case, be honest. Letting them know helps them assess how they can best help you succeed in their class. They might ask you to study an hour a night if you're not reaching standard.  If you're struggling with the material, ask your teacher for help. They won't be able to reteach everything right then and there, but they may be able to point you in the right direction.  If you're considering getting a tutor, ask your teacher if they can recommend someone. " Teachers may have their reasons for allowing or not allowing retakes, and you need to respect their decision. At the very least, hopefully you've learned a little more about their expectations and how to better prepare next time.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Habla con él en un buen momento. Lleva tu examen contigo. Pregúntale amablemente si puedes volver a dar el examen. Reconoce que cometiste un error al no dar bien el examen. Dile la razón de tu mala calificación si te pregunta. Establece una meta con tu profesor si es necesario. Agradécele por su tiempo, ya sea su respuesta un “sí” o “no”.


After a couple years of growth or more, yucca plants may produce offshoots near the base that grow on their own stem. During the dormant colder season, select a stem with dark brown bark, not a young, cream-colored stem. Cut a section off of this stem. The length and thickness of the cutting do not matter much. A cutting 3–4 in. (7.5–10 cm) long should be sufficient. Use a clean knife or scissors to remove the leaves nearest the base, leaving the leaves on the top. With fewer leaves, the cutting will go through less severe moisture changes, which increases the odds of it surviving the transplant until its roots can grow. Place the cutting in a cool, shaded area. This dries the plant out slightly to encourage root growth for seeking moisture. After 4–7 days, the cutting should be ready to plant. Select a pot with drainage holes. Fill it with a cactus or yucca potting mix, or make your own quickly draining soil. Two parts seed-starting mix and one part sand will provide nutrients for the young plant without keeping it too wet.  Do not use beach sand, as it contains high salt content. Sand from stream banks is usually acceptable. If you would like, you can dip the end of the stem in a rooting hormone or a homemade root stimulant at this point. This is not a necessary step, but it may encourage growth. Only push the stem far enough into the soil to keep it steady and upright. Often, you'll need to use a gentle rope or other soft line material to anchor the stem upright to another object. Start the plant indoors to protect it from chilly evening temperatures and from sudden gusts of wind. Keep it near a sunny window, but not in direct sunlight while its roots and leaves are still developing. Roots should develop fully within six weeks. You may be able to see them peeking out of the drainage holes, but if the plant appears healthy, you can assume the roots have grown. If the roots fail to develop, you may wish to try again with a cutting from a larger, more mature yucca plant.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Toma un esqueje de un tallo maduro. Quita las hojas más bajas del tallo. Seca el tallo. Llena una maceta pequeña de tierra suelta. Empuja el tallo dentro de la tierra. Mantén la planta al interior bajo la luz solar indirecta. Traslada la planta de yuca a tu jardín una vez que se hayan desarrollado las raíces.


After a few days, you can introduce the animals. The introduction should take place in your home. With dogs, initial introductions are often made in a neutral location. Bringing a cat outside the home, however, can cause the cat stress. Choose a room in your home to make the introduction. Make sure the room is large enough to comfortably keep both animals on opposite sides of the room initially. This is best done after your puppy has tuckered herself out with play and exercise, as she will be less rambunctious around the cat. Whilst holding the leash, let the cat into the room. Allow the animals to look at one another.  You may notice some fear or aggression. If the animals are growling at one another, or if the cat bats at the puppy, you're moving too fast. Return to the separation phase for a few more days and try again. Have a favorite toy or treat to distract the puppy if she is showing too much interest in the cat. Do not let your puppy off the leash for the duration of the first meeting. You have to ease into unrestrained contact. An overeager puppy could easily injure a cat. Begin with short encounters and gradually build up. Remember to give each pet attention, affection and rewards for peacefulness.  Try your best to end meetings on a positive note. If neither animal is being aggressive, and they've been in the room together for a few minutes, this is a good place to end the meeting for the day. As time goes on, the cat should become more confident and the puppy should become disinterested in the cat. How long this will take depends heavily on the temperament of both animals. Some dogs and cats will calm down quickly, while others will take more time to relax.  Your cat should be calm with the puppy in the room. He should eat, drink, and use the litter box without hesitance. Your puppy should be largely uninterested in the cat. She should mostly ignore the cat and pay attention to other stimuli. Once both animals are at this state, you can allow them to be in a room together without leashing the puppy.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige un buen lugar para el primer encuentro. Presenta al cachorro con una correa. Sigue con los encuentros cortos y controlados. Continúa las interacciones con correa hasta que el cachorro esté calmado.

After a few weeks of sowing seeds or transplanting seedlings, start watering your plants less frequently. Regular rainfall should provide enough water, but check the soil regularly during dry spells. Stick your finger about 2 in (5.1 cm) into the soil, pull it out, and water the bed if it’s so dry that no dirt sticks to your finger. You’re better off watering echium less frequently, since they don't like soggy soil. If you haven’t had rain in 2 or 3 weeks and the leaves are slightly wilted, your plants need water. Otherwise, there's no need to fuss over them. When your towering jewel or pride of Madeira starts producing its spike of flowers, gently pack the soil around the base so it doesn’t topple. If it starts to lean, you might need to tie it to a stake for support. Keep in mind choosing a planting spot near a wall or fence can help protect taller plants from the wind. To deadhead your plants, pluck fading flowers from the central spike before they have a chance to drop a seed. For some species, deadheading can also extend the flowering period from 2 months to 4 months. All echium species self-seed, which means they drop seeds after their flowers fade. A single plant can produce around 2,000 seeds, and your echium might take over your entire garden if you allow them to freely self-seed. Species of echium aren’t prone to many diseases or pests, but they are susceptible to slug and snail infestations. Every few days, hold back foliage and examine your plants’ stems. Look for slugs, snails, irregular holes in the stems, or slime trails.  Remove any organisms you find. If you have an infestation on your hands, purchase pesticide pellets labeled for slugs and snails at your local garden center. Scatter the pellets thinly around your plants according to your product’s instructions. If you find an infestation is getting out of control, you may need to apply an insecticide soap. Follow the product packaging instructions to make sure you use the insecticide safely and correctly. During extended periods of freezing...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Riega solo cuando la tierra esté seca una vez que las plantas se hayan establecido. Comprime la tierra ya que las especies más altas crecen para proporcionar soporte. Corta las flores marchitas para fomentar el florecimiento y controlar la resiembra. Revisa si hay babosas con regularidad y saca las que encuentres. Protege las plantas con una tela de hibernación en invierno. Siembra las semillas anualmente para obtener un florecimiento continuo.


After a hard day of basketball, be sure you give your ball a proper wipe down. Cleaning it periodically will prevent grime and dirt from settling into the ball. Use a damp cloth and allow it to dry. This depends on how often you like to play basketball. If you play often, keep your ball well inflated and store indoors at room temperature. If you don’t play too often, keep your ball slightly deflated. This will increase the longevity of the ball. Never leave a ball outside and avoid direct sunlight for too long of a period. A good way to ruin your basketball is by kicking it around like a soccer ball. It is a common misconception that any inflatable ball will work for anything. The construction and design of a basketball is very different from other balls. It was designed for the court, so bring it to the court not to the field.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Limpia el balón. Guárdalo. Úsalo para jugar baloncesto.


After a long day of work it is tempting to eat and drink glutinously. Keep in mind your productivity of the following work week as you consider your dinner options. Instead of a steak and potatoes, eat salmon, brown rice, and broccoli. There are plenty of dinner options that aren’t fatty. Don’t drink too much if you work the following day. It is nearly impossible to be productive with a hangover. Don’t go home and binge watch Netflix or consistently bring up your Facebook feed. It’s okay to relax after a day of work, but limit the amount of time you spend in front of screens. Instead spend time with your family, volunteer, or read a book. Play a board game with your friends. Stimulate your brain by not staring at too many screens on your time off. This type of stimulation will help you sleep better, and cause you to feel better at work. Don’t worry too much about work at home. Home should be your time for yourself instead of the company. It’s okay to do a little bit of work at home, but don’t stress about the amount of assignments you need to complete. When you’re in bed, don’t check your work emails. Leave the emails for the morning. Avoid eating donuts or other foods with high amounts of sugar for breakfast. Certain foods will boost your productivity at work by fueling your brain to work consistently without your focus crashing. Try some of these beneficial breakfast options:  Eggs Bananas Yogurt Blueberries Exercising before work will give you a head start on productivity. You don’t need to do anything extensive, but a quick 20 minute run or swim can keep your body awake and alert at work. You can also reap the benefits of a healthy mentality by exercising after work.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cuida lo que comes y lo que tomas. Limita tu tiempo enfrente de las pantallas. No revises los correos electrónicos del trabajo. Come un desayuno nutritivo. Haz ejercicio antes de trabajar.

After a person gets the chickenpox virus, that virus will stay with them, sometimes resulting in outbreaks of a rash and blisters. The most common symptoms of shingles are:  Headache Flu-like symptoms Sensitivity to light Itching, irritation, tingling, and pain where a rash starts developing, but only on one side of the body Knowing the symptoms of each stage can help you doctor evaluate how to best treat your case.  Stage 1 (before the rash): itchiness, tingling, numbness or pain develops in the area where the rash will eventually develop. Diarrhea, stomach ache, and chills (usually without fever) accompany this dermal irritation. Your lymph nodes may be tender or swollen. Stage 2 (rash and blisters): a rash will develop on one side of your body, with blisters forming eventually. The liquid in the blisters starts off clear but eventually gets cloudy. If a rash develops around the eyes, see a doctor immediately. The rash and blisters are sometimes accompanied by intense stinging pain. Stage 3 (after the rash and blisters): pain may develop in the area affected by the rash. This pain is called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), and it may last a matter of weeks or even years. PHN is associated with extreme sensitivity, chronic pain, as well as aching or burning sensations. If you receive immunosuppressive drugs, such as steroids, after an organ transplant, you are at a higher risk of getting shingles. If you suffer from the following conditions, you are also at a higher risk:  Cancer Lymphoma Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Leukemia

After a while, seeing the same old sights and same old faces can start to drag you down. Sometimes, we need a little bit more stimulation, and making a move, long or short, can fit the bill. Psychologist Susan Clayton says that where you live, and how you define your home, is part of your self-definition. Meaning that, if you're tired of where you are, you're tired of how you're living.  It can be financially difficult or impractical to uproot yourself and move to a different state, or a different country, but you an try making a jump to a new neighborhood, to get a different angle on your city. Switch roommates. Alternatively, try doing a thorough re-arrangement or cleaning job in your house as it is. If it looks new, it'll feel new. Learning to unpack the psychological burden you carry throughout the day is absolutely essential to living a happy, healthy existence. It's important to take frequent breaks throughout the day, whether you're doing physical work or mental work, to give yourself the change to come back to that work with fresh eyes. Breaks help you stay on task and maintain schedules. Try taking a break every 50-90 minutes to stay on schedule, for about 10-20 minutes. Studies show that this length of break is the most effective at keeping you on task, more so than trying to work through without taking any breaks at all. . Getting exercise has mood-enhancing and anxiety-preventing qualities, and recent studies reveal that people who exercise more are more readily equipped to deal with the stresses and anxieties of everyday life. It's also a great way to hit the reset after a particularly stressful day or week. Sweat it out instead of stressing over it. Making subtle or significant changes in your appearance can have a big effect on the way you perceive yourself and the way you carry yourself, and the way you're perceived by others, especially in the workplace. Dress the way you want to be perceived by others.  While it's easy to suggest that dressing up more will give you a more trustworthy and...
