What happens after you have stuck up for yourself is not as important as the fact that you stuck up for yourself. Sticking up for yourself is hard and you should be proud that you did it. It is a good practice that you will need to learn to do many times before things start to change because sticking up for yourself is not a one time fix thing.  While you are in the confrontation, tell yourself that you are doing the right thing. And again after the conversation, remind yourself that it was good to talk to your sister and set your boundaries no matter how she handles it. Don’t be down if there were bad parts of your conversation or if your sister didn’t seem to listen to you. Think about what you did or said that you were glad that you did. Plan on saying things differently, listening better, or reacting to her better based on your conversation. People talk to themselves in their heads and sometimes that self talk becomes negative and starts repeating. When it comes to your sister, make sure that you don’t dwell on only the bad things in your relationship. It is good to think about the ways that we are not being treated right and stick up for ourselves, but we shouldn’t dwell on these things because it might make things worse. Learning how to change your negative self talk positive can help you to reduce your stress in other parts of your life, too.  For example, if you find yourself repeating negative things to yourself like, “I will never like her,” this might make you more bitter toward your sister. And feeling bitter or resentful will make it harder for you two to have a good relationship. Find ways to make your thoughts more positive. You don’t have to lie, but you can say something like, “Sometimes I feel like I really don’t like my sister, but occasionally she sticks up for me with our parents, and I can tell she cares about me.” Refocus on the good things. After a bad conversation you can say to yourself, “No matter what happened, I didn’t lose my cool.” If you have a difficult relationship with your...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Siéntete bien por mantenerte firme y alístate para hacerlo nuevamente. Reflexiona sobre lo que haya salido bien en la conversación y lo que podría mejorar la próxima vez. Cambia la manera en la que te hables. Haz un esfuerzo por comunicarte más con tu hermana. Conversa con tus padres y amigos sobre la situación.


What is coming back right now? Are you happy with it? What aspects of it do you think could be improved? What aspects do you consider are currently problematic?  Do you even have a reputation online? No digital presence can be viewed by tech-savvy employers as odd and possibly decrease your chances of employment. Use Google Alerts, Yahoo Alerts, etc. to bring back anything with your name in it. If your name is commonplace, include other identifying factors linked just to you, such as your hometown, your business name, your job title or a hobby you actively participate in, etc., or you'll get snowed under with every other return for Joe Smith and Jane White too! There are online services that can track your comments trail (forums, message boards, blogs, etc.), check your Twitter reputation, search blogs for your name, etc. There are sites that show when people have searched for you or asked questions about you. Focus on what you know you're most active on, then work your way down the list. In many cases, this may be as simple as deleting a profile or messages from specific sites and waiting out the time for the search engine to stop returning these as top returns (in some instances, you can apply to have removal of search returns sped up). In other cases, you may need to seek professional help to get bad returns from continuing.  Contact a person who has uploaded damaging images, information or videos of you first. Ask that person nicely to remove it. Don't use curse words or rude statements––keep it clear, simple and factual and ask the other person to kindly remove the offending information. Contact webmasters of sites to ask that your details or offending information be removed.  If you can't find details on the website for a webmaster, check Whois for more information. In some cases, the webmaster may ignore or refuse your request, or you won't be able to find the webmaster at all (it does happen). In which, case, keep trying while doing other positive things. Google suggests overriding the negative with...

Búscate a ti mismo. Considera lo que puedas hacer para hacer cambios en tu reputación en línea cuando no es favorable. Busca consejería legal si el daño hecho por el tema del motor de búsqueda es altamente negativo o hace que tu vida corra peligro.


What is most important to you? What do you want out of your life? Listen to what other people have to say, but remind yourself that you, like George W. Bush, are The Decider. You decide your life, not the toxic sludge people surrounding you. If they can't accept that, they can get out of the way. Write down your short and long-term plans on paper. Paste it on a wall where you can constantly remind yourself and stay focused. This will also help you when times get tough and you feel the gripping desire to fall back into older negative habits. Lots of people go through life saying, "My parents wanted me to do X, so I did X", or "My spouse wanted to go to city X, so we went to city X." Do you want your life to be decided by someone else? Make a choice, for better or worse, and live with the consequences. Don't allow other people or their preferences to be an excuse for you. Saying, "I'd be happy if X were different" is just another way of saying, "I'm not in charge of my own life. It's true that sometimes you need to need to make compromises with the people close to you. But don't let compromise be your go-to. Why would you hang out with people you don't like to be around? Find the guys and gals who are optimistic, upbeat, and happy. Your smiles will form a natural barrier against the haters.  Move to a new town or switch jobs if you're surrounded by negative people at your old one. End that relationship and start a new one with someone who builds you up instead of dragging you down. Use the inspirational example of positive people in your life to guide yourself away from the toxic people. Smile, give compliments, say thank you, make eye contact, and generally do the things you would expect normal, nice people to do. Being nice is not hard, but some people need you to play the Big Bird to their Oscar the Grouch. . If you constantly do battle with the negativity of others around you, you need to make a serious commitment to de-stressing. Find something that calms and centers you and to which you can retreat when...

Prioriza tus necesidades y deseos. Toma tus propias decisiones. Crea un "grupo de apoyo" de personas sanas y felices. Demuestra el positivismo que deseas ver en los demás. Relájate y desestrésate


What is the person you intend to diss especially proud of? What are they especially embarrassed about? Figuring out these weak points is a good way to plan out disses in advance that you can use in your favor. Pick on their points of pride.  If the person teasing you is always dressed really well, or seems to be proud of their Nike sneakers, remember what kinds of clothes they usually wear and prepare insults related to their clothing. If the person is a very good student or a very bad student, insulting their grades or their smarts can be a good way to get to them. Sports are often important in school. If you're being dissed by an athlete, consider calling them out on their granny-like basketball dribble or their missed shots. Disses are supposed to make you mad, so practice your poker face. When you get insulted, you should act as if it doesn't hurt your feelings at all, no matter what they say. Chuckle and let the diss roll off. If you see your tormentor coming up to you, think about something else and plan out what you'll say in advance to avoid listening to them. Focus on a funny feature, like the person's nose or their ear to distract yourself while they're talking. If they've got a pimple, stare at it hard. It might even make you laugh. Getting into a diss-trading duel with a good "disser" is probably a bad idea. If you play it cool when you get insulted initially, the ball is in your court and you can wait for the opportune moment to let loose with your well-planned insult.  If you're going with the clothes tactic, wait until they're wearing some stylish new duds and tell them that you like their new shirt, before saying: "The guy who picks up garbage outside my house wears the same thing." Wait until gym class to insult their athletic skills. If they trip or fall down, start pointing and laughing and get your friends to join in. If you're going to insult their smarts, wait until they have to read out loud in class. If you're next, imitate their reading style before switching over to your normal voice...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ten en cuenta los puntos débiles de esa persona. Mantén la calma y ríe. Espera por la oportunidad adecuada. Actúa como si tu insulto no fuera un insulto. Considera el tratamiento silencioso.


What is the purpose of your prayer? Are you asking God to forgive you, to praise him, or to thank him for something? Whatever the reason, knowing your motivation will help you know what to include in your prayer letter. For example, if you are writing your prayer letter to ask God to guide you about a big decision at work, you can focus on that specific request when you have acknowledged that this is your main source of concern. Praying is our way of communicating with the Lord. When you talk to God, you need to pray with your heart and your deepest sincerity. If you have ulterior motives or if you are not fully invested in your prayer, then there is little reason to pray in the first place. Praying to God doesn’t mean that you will automatically receive what you ask for. Sometimes God’s plan is bigger than our comprehension and only He can see that what we are asking for isn’t really what we need. God always answers our prayers, but sometimes it is just not in the way we expected.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Decide por qué vas a escribir esta plegaria. Aborda la carta con un corazón sincero. Controla tus expectativas.


What kinds of activities do the members of your family enjoy doing as a group? Do you enjoy going on hikes together, swimming, or visiting new places? Listing some of these on a piece of paper will help you narrow down a list of potential places.Here are some common types of places to plan a vacation:  A beach. The beach has a number of obvious attractions for families. Playing in the sand and rolling waves will provide hours of entertainment for your kids while you will be able enjoy lying in the sun with a great book. A lake. If you are in a more landlocked location, a lake can also provide an excellent water destination for your family. You can teach your children how to use a canoe or kayak while also enjoying the beautiful scenery surrounding the lake. The mountains. If your family loves to hike and learn more about nature, a vacation in the mountains can be a wonderful opportunity to grow closer as a family. A city. If you want to experience museums, inspiring architecture, and new restaurants, then a city can be an excellent vacation destination. A cruise. A cruise can also be a great option, especially for families, since many cruises provide shows and group activities for kids.  An amusement or water park. These will be a big hit with your kids, but you should make sure you will have things to do that will interest you as well. Often your budget will determine how you will pick your destination. A beach vacation in the U.S. can often be more affordable than a beach vacation in another country. Some things that you will need to budget for include:  Transportation costs (airplane, train, or gas money). Be sure you factor in the price of a ticket for each member of your family. If you plan to rent a car or take taxis once you arrive, you should count this in as well. Accommodation. Hotels are a common option, but if you have a larger family, you might want to consider renting a house, condo or cabin. Food. You will probably have to account for the cost of eating out in a restaurant, but staying in a...

What makes a professional print look professional is the sharpness of the resolution. What resolution you need will depend on what size project you’re working on. You can usually print anything up to 13 in (33 cm) by 19 in (48 cm) without adjusting the resolution from the standard 72 dpi. For larger projects or projects that will be displayed, increase the resolution to up to 300 dpi.  To resize the image in Sketchbook Pro for Mac, go to “Image,” then choose “Size.” In the menu box that comes up, make sure “Keep Proportions” and “Resample Image” are both checked. Then change the resolution. If you’re using Photoshop, go to “Image,” then “Image Size.” Check the “Constrain proportions” and “Resample Image” boxes. At the bottom of the menu, select “Bicubic” from the dropdown menu for measurements. When you adjust the resolution, it can impact the color and texture of your print. Use the "color" menu to readjust the colors in your print to their original color. If you used custom colors in your original print, note down the numbers that correspond to those colors on Photoshop's color wheel. It will give you a good starting point after you adjust the resolution. If you’re printing your digital art on a poster, banner, or a similarly large project, you might want to use a plug-in to change the size.  2 popular plug-ins for resizing are Perfect Resize and Blow Up. Once you purchase the software online, dialog boxes will pop up to guide you through the installation process. How to change the contrast on your art will depend on what software you use. Most photo-editing software will have a slide cursor you can use to change the contrast. Increase the contrast beyond what looks sharpest on the screen. What looks sharp on the screen might not look quite as sharp printed out. On the “Layer” menu in Photoshop, right-click on “Art Layer” and then choose “duplicate layer.” Then select “Filter,” “other,” and “High Pass.” In the “radius” drop-down menu, select 3, and then click “OK.” Go back to the Layer Palette and choose...

What problem has your business concept been created to address? For example, a fashion designer who makes maternity clothes is probably trying to provide stylish clothes to expectant mothers, which is an underserved market. Based on this example, you can already see the outlines of a brand: stylish, relatively young, and feminine. What are consumers taking away? On the one hand, they get a product or service. However, try to identify any other intangible qualities. For example, women who buy stylish maternity clothes feel comfortable and sexy at the same time. Every company has a brand, whether intentional or not, because consumers already associate emotions and values with your company. Ideally, you’ll build on top of your current brand, but you need to find out what it is. The easiest way is to ask current customers to complete a survey.  A cheap survey method is to use Survey Monkey. On your receipt, you can print the URL for the survey so customers can complete it. Ask consumers what words they would associate with your business. Also ask what frame of mind they are in when they visit your store, and how they feel when they leave. It’s one thing to find out how your current customers see you. However, you might want to be seen differently. For example, a designer of maternity clothes might want their clothes to be seen as sporty, not sexy. Identify the cluster of emotions and sensations you want clients to attribute to your goods or services. Your consumers reveal a lot based on their buying behavior. For example, if you sell wine online, your clients might buy it before buying expensive or cheap items. This buying behavior can tell you how they view your brand.  If you create a website, you can see which websites people visit directly before and after yours. Alternately, you can ask customers in a survey what other stores they regularly shop at.

Identifica cuál es la misión de tu empresa. Describe los beneficios de tus productos o servicios. Pregúntales a los clientes de qué forma perciben tu empresa. Identifica las cualidades que quieras transmitir. Investiga los hábitos de tus clientes.


What puts you in a dark mood? What makes you feel bad? Identify the things that make you spiral into negative emotional states, so you can plan how to attack those triggers and get rid of them from your life.  Do you get angry or upset at a particular time of day? When a particular event happens? When you're around a particular person? What makes you angry? Maybe you just have trouble feeling positive about much of anything. If you struggle to approach even your vacation day with a positive attitude, you might want to get checked out for signs of depression and talk to your doctor. If someone in your life doesn't contribute to your mental well-being, they don't have a place in your life. People who stress you out, criticize you, or bring you down are a waste of your time and energy. Avoid these people or draw firm limits with them.  If you have to hang out with someone who rubs you the wrong way, or you can't stop seeing someone, do your best to draw limits. Be honest with them and tell them that you really need your space and you'd prefer to be left alone. As the old saying goes, if you wish to stay positive, prevent negative-minded people. If you feel good about something, let yourself feel good about it. If you don't care about something, don't let yourself be swayed by the opinions of others. Listen to your own voice and pay less attention to what other people have to say about you or your business. Don't ask for other people's opinion if you don't really need it. What difference does it make it your coworker doesn't like the name you picked for your new pet cat? As long as it makes you happy, that's all that matters. Competition can bring up a lot of negativity in people. Avoid situations that force you to compare yourself or your skills to the skills of others. These situations can breed bad feelings, resentment, and anxiety. If you want to keep a positive mindset, avoid any situation that will force you to compare or compete with others. Work hard and play hard. Fill up your schedule with activities...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Determina qué es lo que desencadena tu negatividad. Solo mantén una amistad con las personas que te brinden su apoyo. Dale menos importancia a lo que los demás opinen. No te compares con los demás. Mantente ocupado. No te compliques por cosas sin importancia.


What qualities are you looking for in a friend? Determining these things ahead of time will help you know what to look for when you are making new friends. Search out people who have these positive qualities you want in your life.  Some qualities you might consider are kindness, honesty, loyalty, intelligence, or creativity. Think of ways to tell if people possess these qualities. For example, someone who makes good grades in school is probably intelligent. Someone who volunteers at a nursing home is probably kind. Someone who is very active in art class is probably creative. Try to become friends with people who have good morals. A good place to meet people like this is at your church youth group or in an activity group organized through your school. People who get involved in activities and in the community are less likely to cause problems. . Do this before you start hanging out with someone new. If they mouth off in school, get into fights, or bully others, don't get too close to them. Hanging out with likeminded people is important. The saying “you are what you eat” can be applied to the friends you choose as well. If you hang out with motivated, driven people that will begin to rub off on you as well. If you spend time with people who don’t care about school or who are not nice to others, those behaviors could eventually rub off on you. There are probably a lot of people in your life (parents, teachers, counselors) who have more life experience than you and would love to advise you on how to find and keep good friends. Take advantage of their advice by talking to them and asking their opinion. It might help!

What we think of as the brain’s processing speed is actually the ways in which electrical signals travel across axons, which are essentially the wiring connecting different parts of the brain. The white matter of the brain is made up of all of this wiring, and it is fed by blood vessels, meaning that vascular problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can starve the axons of much-needed oxygen and glucose. Therefore, staying fit and getting plenty of aerobic exercise is the number one suggestion by most neurologists to sustain axons and even potentially improve processing speeds. A regular cardio routine has also been linked to an increase in the birth of new neurons in the hippocampus, which is a part of the brain important to learning and processing. Physical health goes hand in hand with brain health. Along with the right amount of exercise, you should also maintain a balanced diet. You can additionally focus on specific foods linked to brain health, such as:  Avocados - Avocados are great at assisting in the prevention of vascular conditions, such as high blood pressure, and healthy blood flow is essential for a healthy brain. Avocados are high in fat, though, so limit yourself to a quarter or half an avocado a day. Blueberries - Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, which means they protect the brain from oxidative stress and may reduce the effects of age-related conditions. Aim for one cup of blueberries per day. Other great antioxidant-rich foods include pomegranate juice and dark chocolate.  Wild salmon - Omega-3 essential fatty acids, such as DHA, are essential for brain function. Deep-water fish such as salmon, sardines, and herring are full of them. Aim to eat a four-ounce serving two-to-three times per week.  Nuts and seeds - Nuts, especially walnuts, and seeds are a great source of vitamin E, which helps to fight cognitive decline as we age. Try to add one ounce a day.  Beets - Beets can increase blood flow to the brain, which may help improve your cognition. You can eat beets in a...

What will the content be? Write it down so you don't forget. Come up with an outline or some sort of organizer to keep track of what you will discuss and/or promote.  There are countless examples among the podcasts already in existence. Podcasts.com lists podcasts by categories, which include comedy, news, health, sports, music and politics. Some examples include Mugglecast, which covers "Harry Potter" novels and films; The Word Nerds, who discuss the etymologies of words and other linguistic matters; Fantasy Football Minute, a podcast to help all fantasy football coaches and general managers; and NPR Science Friday, a podcast version of the weekly show broadcast on local public radio affiliates, just to get your mind rolling.  Listen to some of the more popular podcasts to get a feel for style and content. Draft up an outline to keep the awkward pauses at a minimum. If you're going to be doing interviews with your pets, this will be something you probably want scripted. Most podcasts include a microphone (USB or analog), mixer (for analog mic) or even a new computer. There are different podcast starter packages out there you can buy for around $100.  Don't rely on the standard (and iffy at best) microphone your PC came with if you want to sound as professional as possible. You'll want a full headset with a noise-canceling mic to be positive your listeners aren't getting distracted by the sound of your air conditioner in the corner. For affordable voice recording, a unidirectional, dynamic-type microphone is good. Radioshack sells inexpensive ones and you’ll also find a good selection of higher quality mikes at most music stores.  Is your podcast going to be portable or will you record at home?  Maybe you want to podcast using your smartphone or tablet (Android, iOS). But the basics you'll need are a microphone and voice recording podcast software. You'll only need a mixer if you have multiple inputs. Smaller units with around four inputs will suit all but the most ambitious podcasts. If you have a Mac, you...

What you add depends on the focus of your site. The content of your site is what will determine how popular your site becomes. It is what sets you apart from other gaming sites in your niche.  If you're writing articles, your writing voice will be incredibly important for developing your site's style. Good writing will attract lots of readers, so you should always be striving to improve your skills. Proofread everything you write before you publish it online. Grammatical errors and other problems will lead to a less-professional site, which will drive away readers. If you are using screenshots or video from a video game, ensure that you have the rights to use it, especially if you make a profit on the site. You need to stand out. You are competing with some of the most popular sites that cater to some of the most tech-savvy readers online. Not only are you competing against established sites, you're competing against YouTube channels, Twitch streams, and popular podcasts.  If you're writing a guide on a game, make sure that your guide is clearer and easier to understand than other guides online. Consider adding unique content that can't be found elsewhere, such as the perfect screenshot or a hand-crafted map. If you're going for the news angle, you'll be need to distinguish yourself from the heavy hitters. Getting interviews that the other sites don't and writing high-quality features about the more ignored aspects of the industry can really help separate you from the pack. If you are doing reviews, you'll need to ensure that you cover all of your bases. When reviewing a game, focus on all of the individual aspects, as well as the sum of all the parts. Make note of issues or outstanding moments, and try to maintain a fair view. When reviewing, personal preference for genre or franchise should be set aside, and the game should be looked at as objectively as possible. If you want to compete with other sites, you'll need multiple contributors. The biggest gaming sites on the internet post over a dozen articles...

What you are offering is free-range at a minimum, so compare like with like. If you're going one step further and raising the chickens in an organic garden solely on organic food to create organic eggs, this will put the price up, but you need to make all these things clear and verify as required by any by-laws.  Make your price cheaper than that of the shops. About $2.00 - $2.50 for a dozen is good (this will vary on your location in the world). It may seem cheap, but if you want to make business, you have to make it worth it for your customers. To price, don't forget to include feed cost or else you end up making a loss. Can you make use of the same distribution network or do you need to use other means? If the latter, what sort of ways do you intend to sell? It might be door-to-door, from your gate, through the internet, etc. Again, know the local laws with respect to the sales process.  Try bakeries, local stores, cooperatives, supermarkets that like stocking local produce, etc. To advertise, simply tell your neighbors about your chickens. They will probably be quite willing to buy eggs from you. If all else fails, you can sell your eggs to your local butcher. Almost all butchers will sell eggs from locals. You should collect the eggs once a day and twice during summer or when it's hot outside, this is to be sure you get the eggs fresh. Store the eggs properly, they can be stored without refrigeration for up to 4 to 5 days, provided it's not hot. The sooner the eggs are out, the better and the fresher they are for the customer.

What you eat can affect symptoms of MS, such as inflammation or pain. A paleolithic diet heavy in fruits and vegetables can help you feel better in the long run.  Aim to eat brightly colored fruits and vegetables, like peppers or oranges. Green vegetables, like spinach or kale, are also good. Vegetables high in sulfur, such as broccoli, cabbage, and bok choy, may also help reduce symptoms. You can eat about 4 oz (110 g) of lean meat a day, like chicken or fish. Reduce or eliminate how much dairy, eggs, and wheat you eat. People with MS are more likely to experience the hug if their bodies are fatigued of if they’re very tired. In either case—especially if you’re performing physical work—sit down and rest. If possible, sleep or take a short nap.  The hug symptoms should decrease. If you lead a stressful life, you may need to find a way to cut back on stress in general in order to decrease the MS hug symptoms. Stress may affect the severity or frequency of your symptoms. If you start feeling constricted or overwhelmed, take a break. Do some light stretching, or pause to meditate.  Go get a massage. A massage may be effective in helping your symptoms. If there's something that usually helps you relax, such as music or a bath, try doing it to see if it helps with your symptoms. The MS hug is more likely to occur if you’re overheated, whether from being out in the sun or from exercising or doing physical labor. Whatever the cause, find a way to cool down. If you’re in the sun, move into the shade or go indoors. If you’re exercising, stop and take a break in a cool room. If you live in at hot climate, you may need to adjust your schedule so that you spend more time outdoors in the early morning and late evening, before the day reaches its full heat. Many MS patients find that wearing a tight shirt or jacket, or knotting a scarf around the abdomen (or wherever MS hug symptoms are felt) can decrease the pain. Tight clothing around the abdomen can fool the brain into thinking that the pain from the MS hug is in fact...

What you eat can have an effect on breakouts. Certain foods, when consumed in high volume, can affect hormone levels and lead to breakouts. Switching to a healthier diet can help eliminate chin acne.  High glycemic are foods that tend to raise insulin levels in the body quickly. This affects our hormones, which can cause breakouts. Empty carbs, like white bread and white rice, sugary snacks, and starchy vegetables like potatoes are considered to be high glycemic foods and may have an affect on your skin.  You might not be getting enough fat. While fat gets a bad rap from dieters, not all fats are bad for us. Essential fats, like those found in olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fish, can reduce the likelihood of breakouts.  Dairy products have also been linked to the development of skin acne, particularly the over consumption of milk. Try soy milk, almond milk, and other milk alternatives. You might be causing your skin undue stress without realizing it. In fact, we sometimes worsen skin problems in attempt to eliminate skin acne.  Do not scrub too hard when washing your face or when applying moisturizers and skin creams. While you might be tempted to scrub extra when experiencing outbreaks, this is actually counterproductive. The bacteria that caused the acne gets spread around when you put too much pressure on your face. Be gentle when washing and moisturizing.  Clean your face regularly. Many people neglect washing their face, causing bacteria to build up and encourage outbreaks. In the morning, as your face has had a chance to sweat and absorb debris, give your face a quick wash before hopping in the shower. Wash your face before bed as well, regardless of whether you wear make-up. Your skin is exposed to a lot throughout the day.  Be careful of oil-heavy lotions, moisturizers, and shampoos. Such products can clog pores, causing breakouts and increasing the duration of existing acne. Look for products labeled "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic"to used instead.  Wear sunscreen if you're outdoors a lot. The sun can...

What you eat may contribute to acne. A low-glycemic diet can help reduce the severity of your acne. Eat plenty of whole grains, beans, and veggies. Cut back on processed carbs, white bread, pasta, dairy, and refined sugar.  Instead of drinking soda or juice, drink water or herbal tea when you're thirsty. Watch out for dairy in particular. Dairy may worsen acne in some people. Smoking can worsen or cause acne in adults. Talk to your doctor about quitting smoking. They can prescribe you pills or patches to help make the process easier. If you're a regular drinker with cystic acne, reduce how much you drink. In general, men should have no more than 2 alcoholic drinks a day. Women should limit themselves to 1 drink. . Stress can worsen acne, especially for men. While stress is notoriously difficult to control, you can try to incorporate some relaxation techniques to keep your stress more manageable.   Exercise can relieve stress. If nothing else, take a walk or stretch. Meditation can help bring a sense of peace back in your life. If you're busy, squeeze in 5 minute meditation sessions at work, school, or during a lunch break. If you feel yourself becoming overwhelmed, pause and breathe deeply for 10 seconds. Make sure to get between 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Sleep deprivation can cause you to feel more stress, which can cause more acne.

Sigue una dieta de bajo índice glucémico. Deja de fumar. Bebe menos alcohol. Alivia el estrés


What you really don't want to be doing is flying around a few hours before the party trying to get food and decorations and goodies all sorted out. You also want to make sure that you know who is coming to the party, so you want invitations to go out at least a few weeks in advance.  Make a list of the food you're going to have, the decorations and games you're going to need, what your budget is. This way you won't be caught by surprise when the party suddenly rolls around. Have a people limit. Make it clear to the parents of the kids who are coming whether siblings are allowed, what the age group is going to be, and whether or not they need to stick around with their child (the answer to that is yes, yes they do). Some people will ignore your request, but at least it will be out there and will make the more polite parents do as they are asked. Make sure that your family knows what they need to do to help you out. Do not attempt to run a children's party all on your own. You will end up exhausted and worn out, no matter what, but having people to help with things like set-up and clean-up and the games can make everything 100 times easier.  Ask family members or close friends to lend a hand with the party (especially if they've got a kid coming to it). It can be something as simple as bringing over some food, helping put up decorations, or even pick up the cake if it's a birthday party and you can't. Have your kid help you make the invitations and the decorations. This can be a fun process for both of you. It will lend a kid's touch to the proceedings, which is really what it's all about, right? If you don't do this, there are going to be meltdowns from the children and you'll end up as a de facto babysitter for some of the kids who aren't yours. By having a specific time that you start and end, you'll make sure that people get their kids out of the way before all the tantrums start.  If your child is at the age where they're still napping, make sure that you don't schedule the party right during nap-time....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Planifica con cuidado y con anticipación. Reúne ayuda extra. Designa un límite de tiempo para la fiesta. La comida deberá estar pensada en los niños. Los juegos deberán ser adecuados. Envíalos a casa felices.


What your loved one says in therapy is generally protected and kept private. Therapists are not supposed to disclose information without the patient's permission, except in cases where someone is in serious danger (e.g. the patient saying they will commit suicide).  Remember that these laws differ by state and by country, but all therapists are required to disclose the details of confidentiality verbally and in writing. You can ask for a copy of their informed consent agreement prior to making the appointment. Reassure them that being scared of vulnerability is normal, and they're allowed to feel this way. If they're willing to be brave and do it, they may really benefit. According to recent surveys, nearly 89% of people feel somewhat better after having an emotional release like crying, and doctors widely recommend talking about problems as a means of finding relief. Here are things your loved one might say, and ways you can reassure them:    "I'm scared to open up."  "It's okay to open yourself up to someone. It's what we do to friends and significant others. You need to build a relationship with a therapist, and open honesty is the only way to do that."  "What if they say it's my fault or that I'm faking?" "Therapists are trained to be helpful, patient, and kind. Most therapists are really good listeners and helpers. If you do get a bad one, then I promise you can leave and never come back."  "I'm scared to face my feelings." "It's okay to be scared, especially of big feelings that you've been bottling up. You can take your time in therapy, and start small. Therapists are trained to help you deal with big feelings. And you can tell the therapist that you're scared of your feelings, so they can adjust things accordingly." Your loved one can tell the therapist things like "I'm nervous about this and I don't know what to expect" or "I'm scared that you won't believe me," and the therapist can make adjustments accordingly. A good therapist can help them deal with those fears (and a bad one will likely show...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Informa a tu ser querido acerca de la confidencialidad entre el médico y el paciente. Pregúntale a tu ser querido qué es lo que le parece atemorizante de la vulnerabilidad.

What your pet looks like may a good place to start when you want to name your new pet. Consider things like:  Fur color or length. (For example, if you own a long-hair dog or cat, you can name it "Shaggy".) Distinguishing colored patches. (For example, you may name your pet "Boots" if it has color patches on his/her paws.) Distinguishing features or injuries Eye color (For example, you may name your pet "Frankie" after Frank Sinatra, whose nickname was "Ol' Blue Eyes.") Ear or head shape (If your pet's head is triangular, it might appear fox-like. "Fox" or "Foxy" might be a good name for your pet.). How your pet acts may be another great way to pick the perfect name. Observe your pet to distinguish unique characteristics  Unique vocalizations (bark, meow, squeak, etc). (For example, if your cat has a quiet meow, you may name it "Silence")  Temperament such as happiness or sleepiness. ("Happy," "Sleepy," "Peaceful," "Bossy," or "Cranky" might be good names.) Some of the best names can come from the pet’s uniqueness. If your pet comes has an interesting background, consider it when picking a name. Ask yourself:  Did my pet come from a unique or far-away location? Consider naming it after a city or country such as Cleveland or Italy. Did my pet come from a specific family or shelter? Think about a name after the person you adopted your pet from, maybe like "Sherry" or "Lisa." If your vet has a unique name, such as "Mills," perhaps consider that. Did my pet come overcome a challenging situation. Consider names to reflect that like: "Lucky" or "Chance."

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evalúa la apariencia de tu mascota. Identifica la personalidad de tu mascota. Considera la singularidad de tu mascota.


Whatever has brought the issue of your loved one’s unwillingness to change to your attention may require more than conversation to address properly.  Look into how to help your loved one deal with any of the issues you think your loved one may be having in their individual lives.  Part of being there is having something to say when someone comes to you for help.  (Or when they don’t.) Know the first step that a loved will need to take so you can recommend it. Talk to a health care professional. You may benefit both in terms of knowledge about your loved one’s scenario, and in terms of your own mental health, by seeing a mental health professional yourself. If you’re able to have an honest conversation with a loved one who is struggling with personal issues, you’ll likely have an opportunity to help. Try to find some information about where your loved one can go for help. The best way to do this may be advising your loved one to see a general practitioner and ask for a referral to a therapist.  Your loved one may be more likely to agree to seeing a general practitioner than to seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist. General practitioners may then be able to convince your loved one to see a mental health care professional. When advising your loved one to get help, emphasize statements your loved one has made or behavior that may bring harm to your loved one or to others. For example, you might say, “I am concerned about what you said about feeling angry all of the time. I think that you might need to talk to someone about that to feel better.” If you don’t know where to look for help or information, contact organizations such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness. If your loved one resists your recommendation to see a professional or otherwise get help, you might consider asking him or her to do so for the sake of your relationship.  Ask other friends and loved ones to do the same. In dangerous scenarios in which your loved one’s behavior is detrimentally affecting his or her own and others’ health and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Infórmate. Pídele a tu ser querido que considere la posibilidad de recibir ayuda profesional. Pídele a tu ser querido que pida ayuda por ti. Determina el momento en que es necesario ponerle fin a una relación.


Whatever it is you’re trying to be talented at, you know you have to practice.  This is especially true if you hope to be talented in multiple areas. Fortunately, you may not need to practice quite as much as you think, and can likely make the time to practice multiple skills every day. In order to get the most out of the time you put in, you have to focus on what you’re hoping to learn.  Practice two different skills 40-45 minutes each, every day for a month. Don’t worry if you miss a day of practicing one of your talents once in a while.  If you practice each skill almost every day for a month, you’ll have put in about 20 hours of focused practice on improving each of the talents you hope to develop! In order to practice deliberately and efficiently, you need to make sure you are absolutely focused during practice. One way to help maximize the efficiency of your practice time is to deconstruct the talents you hope to improve upon into specific skills.  Ask yourself; What, specifically, do you need to be good at in order to be more talented at whatever ability you’re developing? Choose specific objectives to achieve each time you sit down to practice something.  Repeat a small task or process many, many times until you’ve mastered it. For instance, if you’re trying to improve your ability to play a sport, choose an extremely basic aspect of playing that sport and spend 45 minutes straight on just that specific aspect.  For example, if you’re hoping to become a better soccer player, dribble a soccer ball back and forth on the field with just one foot. If you’re hoping to improve your talent as a basketball player, shoot only lay-ups.   Deconstructing your effort to improve one talent will help you improve other talents as well.  Following the sports example, doing anything physically active will get you in better shape and improve your coordination, both of which will increase your physical abilities generally. Practice enough so that you are able to both notice and correct errors in your execution of a...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Practica. Desensambla los talentos que esperas adquirir. Practica hasta que puedas autocorregirte. Sé constante y persistente. Elimina las distracciones durante la práctica.


Whatever organization you sign up to volunteer with, you’ll be more likely to be placed in Yemen if you show that you have sought-after skills. Some of these skills could include:  Fluency in Arabic Medical skills, particularly if you’ve worked as a doctor or nurse Basic first aid Experience in disaster relief Experience in diplomacy The UN has about 7,000 volunteers that work on the ground in countries in need. The selection process is rigorous and it’s not guaranteed that you’ll be placed in Yemen, but by signing up to volunteer, you can place yourself in the best possible position to help on the ground. Make sure to highlight any relevant skills, such as a medical or diplomatic background. You can sign up to be a UN volunteer here: https://www.unv.org/ Humanitarian and disaster relief organizations post paid and non-paid opportunities all over the globe on this website.

Whatever page of Facebook you find yourself on, you can find the search bar at the top of the screen, right next to the Facebook logo. Enter your query here, whether it’s related to a type of food, a particular interest, hobby or service. Then press enter to launch the search. For instance, if you’re looking for a good mechanic in the Los Angeles area, you’ll likely want to search for “Los Angeles Mechanics.” Pay attention to the group’s name, as this will tell you if it’s appropriate for your needs. Once you’ve found a group you think will help you find what you need, you should join it. This can be done from the group’s page by clicking on the “Join Group” button.  Be aware that, depending on the nature of your request, you might not find a group relevant enough to truly help you. This is especially true if you live in a more rural area. Some groups are private, and an administrator will need to approve your request to join them. The time this takes will vary from group to group; it can take a few hours or a few days. Near the top of the group page, you should find a box inviting you to post something. It’ll look much like the box you’ll find on your profile or your newsfeed. Write your request for recommendations here.  Since you’ll likely have joined a group that matches your location and the service you’re looking for, you might not need to be as specific in your request as in other methods. Note that many Facebook groups have rules concerning what you can and can’t post. Be sure to review these carefully before making your request, or you might get banned from the group. They’re usually found in “pinned” posts, at the top of the group page, or in the group’s description.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca un grupo usando palabras clave adecuadas. Únete a un grupo adecuado. Publica la solicitud.


Whatever past event you focus on, you may need to express the feelings you have associated with the event, whether good or bad, before you can move on. There may be experiences in your past that were hurtful, but there also may be good memories as well. Getting out your pent up emotions, whether good or bad, can help you let go of the past and focus on the present.  Talk to a friend, family member, or counselor about your feelings. Try writing down your feelings about the past. You can journal or write a letter to someone that hurt you (just don't send it!). Even if you're dwelling on good memories, it can cause you to lose connection with the present. You may find yourself romanticizing the past or longing for things to be the way they were, instead of focusing on how to improve your present life. Focusing on who to blame for past hurts can spoil the present. Instead of dwelling on who has caused you pain, forgive them. Focus on present events and leave behind any blame or hurt you feel. If there is someone in your past that has hurt you, choose to forgive and forget. Festering in the pain doesn't harm the person who hurt you and it will cause you to stay in the past. If you have to, write the person a letter or talk to the person about how her past actions. You don't have to send the letter, but it will help you stop blaming her for the past and help you move toward the present and your happiness. If expressing your feelings about the past has not helped, focus on happy things. You can't change the past or worry about the future, so don't dwell on it. Think about happy things happening right now. If you find this hard, create a touchstone for yourself. For example, create a happy place that you can think that connects with your current life, such as your favorite reading place in your backyard. If you find yourself thinking too much about your past or worrying about the future, imagine the happy times you have there, or even picture yourself in that comforting place. If all attempts haven't worked, try...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Expresa tus sentimientos sobre el pasado. Perdona y olvida. Enfócate en cosas felices. Bloquea tus recuerdos. Aborda tu ansiedad por el futuro. Obtén ayuda.


Whatever you feel highlights your best features, be it a little mascara, some lipgloss, or a bit of blush.  Don't overdo it - you want him to see you, not what you're wearing. Or rock the natural look. You want your hair to be soft and flowing, not stiff and full of hair product.  It doesn't have to be fancy, just make sure to brush it so you (or he) can get your fingers through it and it's not in your face. Choose an outfit that is sexy but not too revealing. You want to be comfortable and not concerned about your skirt riding up or your shirt falling down. Put on a pair of earrings or paint your nails if this makes you feel good.  Don't do anything that you wouldn't normally be comfortable with, and avoid jewelry that is too large or heavy or extreme polish colors. Is there food in your teeth?  Do you feel well?  You don't want to be distracted or cranky if your mind is on something else or you're tired, so make sure you're in the mood.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Utiliza poco maquillaje. Arregla tu cabello. Vístete. Utiliza accesorios. Revísate.

When a Cancer man forms a bond, it’s almost always a long-term one. He’ll be a dedicated and possessive partner, and he’ll always make you feel like the center of his world. Make sure this is something you want and are prepared for when he starts talking long-term. Cancer men tend not to be very experimental in bed and will likely prefer to keep your intimacy simple. He’ll see sex as an expression of love rather than something carnal. Cancer men are also known for being very sensual, using all of the senses to show their love. Your Cancer man will want to make a home he can be proud of, and he’ll crave your support in that. Encourage his home improvement projects and show your appreciation for the work he likes to do around the house. Spend lots of time with him at home and show that you love quietly bonding with him that way. When you meet a Cancer man’s family, smile and be friendly and involved in the conversation. Pay special attention to his mom and any other female members of his family--their opinions will matter most to them. Make a point to sit down with his mom and just chat for a while to show him that you’d like to get to know her. A Cancer man loves to be the leader of a happy, secure family. If your relationship becomes very long-term or if you end up getting married, expect that he’ll want to have at least 1 or 2 children. It won’t be a deal breaker if you feel differently, or if you or he can’t have children. You can discuss ways to channel this tendency by getting pets, spending lots of time with young relatives, or even adopting. If your relationship is having problems, a Cancer man won’t address him. He’ll put up with a lot in order to avoid trouble, so if you feel strongly that the relationship needs to change or take a break, it’ll be up to you to say so. Sit down with him and calmly tell him how you feel. Chances are he’s picked up on some of the same feelings and signals but hasn’t wanted to bring them up and risk hurting you.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Debes estar dispuesta a comprometerte con él en poco tiempo. Mantén tu intimidad directa. Haz que la vida hogareña sea una parte central de tu relación. Deja una buena impresión en su familia. Debes estar lista para empezar una familia cuando llegue el momento. Sé franca con respecto a tus sentimientos y problemas, pues es probable que él no lo sea.


When a Champagne cork is removed from the bottle, it mushrooms out and cannot be reinserted back into the bottle. Regular wine bottles and some bottles of hard alcohol come corked with straight corks that can be recycled in Champagne bottles to help preserve the leftovers.  To recycle an old cork, insert the old wine or whiskey cork into the Champagne bottle in place of the original cork. Champagne bottles are specially designed to withstand the pressure inside the bottle created by the carbon dioxide. Never transfer leftover champagne to a regular wine bottle as a method of preserving it. There are sealers and stoppers available that are made for preserving Champagne, and they are specially designed to fit into Champagne bottles. Some of these are vacuum sealers that remove excess air from the bottle, while others are specially designed stoppers that are able to withstand the pressure that will build up in the bottle. Only wine made using a special tradition in the Champagne region of France can be called Champagne. Sparkling wine from different regions may have bottles with different sized openings, so make sure you're using a Champagne-specific stopper. Not everyone has old corks or special Champagne sealers lying around, a third option is to cover the opening with plastic wrap. Seal it tightly around the rim, and secure the plastic in place with an elastic band around the neck.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Intenta usar un corcho antiguo. Usa un sellador especial o un tapón. Usa un envoltorio de plástico.


When a baby has an ear infection, she may become confused by the pain and therefore become scared. If your baby is restless or nervous, swaddle her in a soft cloth and hold her close to you. Use a gentle voice to soothe your baby and let her know that you are right there. This may help her to relax. When you are trying to put your child to sleep, she will probably begin to feel her ear pain even more intensely. To combat this, try telling your child a story, or singing her several songs while she falls asleep. Distracting her while also soothing her may help her to fall asleep despite the pain she is feeling. While rocking can generally help a baby fall asleep, the back-and-forth movement may not help a child with an ear infection. This is because that rocking movement can move the fluid in your child’s ears around, causing pain. Follow your baby’s lead; if she seems fine being rocked, then continue to rock her until she doesn’t want to be rocked anymore. If you are stressed out by your child’s pain, your child will sense your stress and will most likely find it more difficult to fall asleep. Try to show your child that you are calm and that you know everything will be ok. When you calm and positive, your child will most likely feel reassured, despite the pain in her ear.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sostén a tu hijo en brazos y hazle sentir que estás ahí para él. Distrae a tu hijo con una historia o canción cuando lo recuestes en la cama. Intenta mecer a tu hijo, pero detente si empieza a quejase. Permanece calmado cuando intentes hacer dormir a tu bebé.


When a clot is inside a blood vessel it may partially or completely block blood flow, or become dislodged and lead to complications like stroke, pulmonary embolism or a heart attack. When the clot is outside the blood vessel it can still partially or completely block blood flow by putting pressure on nearby vessels. The brain controls the body’s functions. If a clot impedes the flow of blood to the brain, it can affect sight, speech, and virtually all other functions of the body. This can result in a stroke. As a result, you may experience:  Visual disturbances. Weakness. Paralysis. Seizures. Speech impairment. Disorientation. When clots develop in the heart, it can cause an irregular rhythm and block the flow of blood. This leads to chest pain (which may radiate to the arms, back, neck or jaw), shortness of breath, and sweating. Clots in the heart can lead to life-threatening problems, such as a heart attack. As with clots in the heart, clots in the lungs may cause severe, sharp chest pain which can radiate to the arms, back, neck or jaw. In addition, you may experience:  Rapid pulse. The heart compensates by beating fast in order to supply sufficient blood to the body. As a result, your pulse rises. Bloody cough. A clot can irritate your lungs, causing bleeding. You may cough up blood. Shortness of breath. A clot can block the passage of air in your lungs, leading to difficulty breathing.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ten en cuenta que los coágulos pueden estar dentro o fuera de una vena o arteria. Sé consciente de que los coágulos en el cerebro pueden causar una variedad de síntomas alarmantes.

Ten en cuenta que los coágulos sanguíneos en los pulmones pueden provocar dolor de pecho y una serie de otros síntomas.


When a customer enters your dealership, approach them with confidence, warmth and kindness. First impression is so important and the customer needs to feel like you are being authentic with them. Meet the customer in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming or overbearing, but in a way that shows you are there to help.  The upfront approach -- walk to the customers, greet them with a firm handshake and smile, and begin asking questions about what kind of car they are looking for. The hands off approach -- walk up to a potential customer, shake hands firmly and offer a quick greeting. Then, hand them your business card and say "Hi my name is X, here are my contact details. My desk is over there, so take a look around and when you've found something you like or have questions come over and I can assist you. Also, if another salesperson approaches you, inform them I am assisting you." (The problem with this approach is your customer won't likely feel any attachment to you, and so they may move on to someone else or leave the dealership with no information gained.) Although this can be frustrating for some customers who just want to "get in and get out," striking up a conversation with customers can help build rapport and help them feel more comfortable trusting you as their salesman.  One of the biggest influences in building your customers' trust is showing them that you're not just interested in selling them a car. Show them that you want to build a relationship with them. Ask them about their family, job, interests, etc. Find something in common with them and build trust through that connection. People love talking about themselves, and they feel respected when they have a chance to be heard. Be so likable that your customers refer you to their friends and family. When talking to customers, make eye contact with them so they know that you are really interested in what they have to say. Using body language that is friendly and welcoming will also make your customer feel more at ease. Be authentic. Don't just put...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Saluda con entusiasmo. Entabla una pequeña conversación. Emplea un lenguaje corporal positivo. Haz buenas preguntas.


When a dog has arthritis, it can be hard for him to move around and maintain a healthy weight. However, the extra weight can actually make the arthritis worse, so it’s important to help your dog with weight control. Cut back the amount of food your dog gets every day and you will most likely see a drastic improvement in his condition. In fact, it has been proven that actually helping your dog lose that burden of extra weight can relieve their arthritis so much that they don’t need to take medication anymore. It is good to keep your dog on medication while he loses weight, but when he gets back to a healthy weight, you can talk to your vet about taking him off medication. While an arthritic dog may have a hard time walking, it is still important to make sure that he gets regular low-impact exercise because getting no exercise can actually make his joints stiffer. Low-impact exercise helps joint fluid to circulate (keeping your dog flexible), promotes good blood circulation, and keeps up muscle strength. Your dog should exercise for the same length of time every day. A good baseline amount of exercise is 30 minutes of walking, swimming, or running every day. Swimming in particular is good because it gets your dog moving but takes the pressure off of his hips and joints. Heat therapy is great for getting rid of pain in a specific spot. Heat helps keep synovial fluid circulating (so that your dog can feel limber) and reduces the build-up of inflammatory chemicals within the joint (which makes your dog’s joints stiff). You can provide your dog with heat therapy by:  Getting your dog a heated sleeping pad. Heated sleeping pads both provide heat for your dog, so he is less stiff in the morning, while also cushioning his arthritic joints, making him more comfortable. Cover your dog with a blanket on chill nights. The blanket will keep your dog warm, which will help keep his joints from stiffening up. Get a microwaveable wheat bag. These bags can be heated in the microwave and then placed on the spot where your dog...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pon a tu perro a dieta. Asegúrate de que tu perro se ejercite lo suficiente. Ayuda a tu perro con una terapia de calor. Coloca un acolchado que ayude a tu perro a caminar en pisos resbaladizos. Coloca rampas en tu casa. Eleva los envases de agua y comida de tu perro.


When a dog is sick its behaviors can change drastically. Pay attention to your dog's eating and drinking routines, looking for large changes. You want to catch dehydration early, before it causes an additional medical problem for your dog. Give your dog a specific amount of water and see how fast it drinks it. While there may be variation, for the most part each dog requires from 44-66 mL of water per kg of body weight. That is ½ to 1 ½ ounces of water per pound of body weight. In other words, a 10 pound dog should drink roughly a cup of water a day or a large 60 pound dog should drink 2 quarts of water a day. You will need to take into account a few things when estimating your dog's water needs. In hot and humid weather a dog will need to drink more water. In addition, if your dog is exercising heavily it will need more water. When a dog pants to cool off it loses more water than if it is at home relaxing on your couch. Dogs in these conditions may need twice the amount of water as normal. Sometimes treating the disease adequately will make your dog feel better and have a healthier appetite for both food and water. In these cases the dehydration will usually clear up on its own. Be aware that some medications used to treat congestive heart failure, like diuretics, will make monitoring water intake on your dog very important. Diuretics can cause severe dehydration.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Presta atención a los cambios en el consumo de agua si el perro está enfermo. Mide la cantidad de agua que el perro toma. Toma en cuenta los factores variables. Trabaja con el veterinario para controlar el estado del trastorno del perro.


When a friend is negative, his negativity can have the tendency of rubbing off on you. For example, if this person always talks negatively about your school, you might start to think negatively too. This is because this is all you focus on. If you think about the positive aspects of your school, you’ll start to see those more clearly. Build a network of people who approach life with positivity. Spend less time with those who bring you down. Sometimes feeling negative is pervasive and affects all our interactions. Negativity can make people not want to spend time with you, adding to a cycle of feeling negative. A way to break out of this cycle and build a positive mindset is to practice social support. Expanding positive comments towards others can help you build a positive thinking mindset.  For example, you can help someone feel good about themselves by recognizing him and pointing out something positive. Compliment him on how well he can sing, for example. Being nice to others is associated with positive outcomes in family, health and career, which will help build your positive-thinking mindset. When you interact with others, you can help them feel positively. This will, in turn, increase your own positive mindset. Increase positive thinking in others by showing interest and reinforcing the pride you feel. When you get together with a friend, spend the time talking about what’s new with her. Steer the conversation away from yourself and focus on listening to her. Write down the ways that you have helped someone else and contributed to his or her wellbeing. It sounds somewhat gratuitous or self-serving. But research shows this kind of behavior can help you feel like you’re making a difference by staying positive. Belonging to a social group can help reduce negative thinking. Religious affiliation can, for many people, cultivate a positive mindset.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Rodéate de personas positivas. Sé positivo con respecto a los demás. Muestra interés en los demás y enorgullécete de ellos. Toma nota de cuándo ayudas a los demás. Únete a un grupo social.


When a hot flash starts, applying a cold pack to your neck, wrists, or other pulse points will cool you down. Keep a cold pack next to your bed at night in the event that you wake up with a hot flash. If possible, have an ice pack within reach at work as well. Drinking a glass of ice cold water or splashing cold water on your face can also help to cool you down. Hot showers should be avoided if you are suffering from hot flashes, as a sudden rise in body temperature can easily cause them. Take cool showers to keep yourself cool. If you do get a hot flash, a cool shower may help it go away faster. If you are coping with hot flashes, dress in light layers instead of heavy articles of clothing. At the first sign of a hot flash, remove layers until you are able to cool down. This will ease the severity of the hot flash and make you feel more in control of the situation. If removing layers of clothing is not enough to help you cool down when you start a hot flash, use a fan. Keep a fan out at home regardless of the season to use the moment a hot flash strikes. When you go out, bring a small, pocket fan with you to cool down when you first feel yourself overheating. Your body temperature naturally fluctuates during the night, making it easy to get too hot and suffer hot flashes. Turn down the thermostat in your room to keep yourself cool at night. Sleep in light evening wear and with fewer blankets to avoid getting too warm. Instead for 100% cotton sheets, which is the most breathable material you can choose to help keep you cool at night.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén una bolsa de hielo cerca en caso de que tengas un bochorno. Toma duchas frías. Vístete con prendas que te puedas quitar fácilmente para enfriarte de manera rápida durante un bochorno. Enfríate con un ventilador cuando el bochorno comience. Reduce la temperatura de tu habitación por la noche.


When a joint hurts, we want to use it as little as we can to minimize pain and discomfort. In fact, you probably need to keep using your hip. Inactivity with a condition like arthritis can reduce the joint’s range of motion, increase stiffness, and aggravate pain. Plus, the exercise should help you to sleep.  Have your doctor confirm that it’s safe to exercise your hip, first of all. Try motion exercises, gently moving your hip through its full range. Walking, low-speed bicycling, and swimming can also be helpful. Try to exercise most days, aiming for a total of about 150 minutes per week. Split up the exercise into 10 minute spurts if movement is uncomfortable. An important effect of exercise is that it can help you to maintain a healthy weight or to lose weight, both of which will ease pressure and stress on your hips. Sometimes, hip pain can be caused by sore and tight muscles around the hip joint. Having a couple of sessions with a massage therapist may help to relieve this tension. Start off with 30 minute massage sessions to start getting some relief.  Keep in mind that it may take three to five sessions to feel a difference. If your hip pain increases at night after getting a massage, make sure that you tell your therapist at the next visit. The idea of exercise is to gently work the hip – don’t overdo it or engage in exercise that’s hard on the joint. Rest the joint when not doing low impact exercises. You can also manage pain by taking over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications.  Avoid repeated bending of the hip or putting direct pressure on the joint. Try not to sleep on your bad side, as said, and also avoid prolonged sitting. Ice the joint with wrapped ice cubes or a package of frozen vegetables if it becomes inflamed or painful. Or, alternatively, you can use a heat treatment like taking a warm shower. Consider an over-the-counter medication like Ibuprofen, which will relieve pain but also has properties to reduce swelling and inflammation. You hip pain might be passing....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz ejercicios de bajo impacto regularmente. Hazte un masaje. Descansa y alivia el dolor. Consulta con un doctor para aliviar el dolor a largo plazo.


When a line of poetry uses a pattern of unstressed/stressed, it is known as an iamb. This is the most common form of rhythm in poetry, so you will notice it often. You can easily integrate this type of rhythm into your writing by ensuring that your syllables are arranged in the same pattern. Listen for stressed syllables after ones that have a softer sound. They will sound like “duh-DUH.” For example, “What LIGHT from YON • der Window breaks?” includes an iambic pattern. A trochee is just the opposite of an iamb. The stressed syllables come before the unstressed ones. Listen for stressed syllables at the beginning of words when you read them out loud. The words will sound like “DUH-duh.” For example, “TYger! TYger! BURN • ing bright,” features a trochaic pattern. If you notice 2 syllables in a row that are stressed in your poetry, then you might have a spondaic line. Some words even feature a spondaic pattern, such as “hog-wild” and “cut-throat.” Instead of a soft syllables coupled with a louder one, spondees sound like 2 loud bursts, such as “DUH-DUH.” A slightly more complex way to incorporate rhythm is a dactyl. You can create a dactyl by starting with a syllable that is stressed, and following it with 2 unstressed syllables. The words “poetry” and “basketball” are examples of dactyls. This type of rhythm would sound like, “DUH-duh-duh.” Anapests are the opposite of dactyls with the 2 unstressed syllables coming first and the stressed one after them. “Underfoot” and “overcome” are examples of anapestic words. The sound you are looking for is, “duh-duh-DUH.”

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige un patrón simple consistente en una sílaba acentuada y una sin acentuar. Prueba a colocar una sílaba sin acentuar después de una acentuada. Usa 2 sílabas acentuadas consecutivas. Elige una sílaba acentuada seguida de dos sílabas sin acentuar. Incluye dos sílabas sin acentuar seguidas de una sílaba acentuada.

When a person fakes an emotion, their face often betrays them, because they may only show emotion on the upper or lower half of their face. For example, if someone is smiling, see if this emotion carries to their eyes. Similarly, if someone is crying, does this emotion seem consistent with the expression on the lower half of their face? Keep in mind that a pathological liar will not show emotion as a giveaway that they are lying. Many liars have their stories lined up for questions that they anticipate. When you throw them a curveball by asking something unexpected, they might not have an appropriate response.  For example, if the person says that they went to eat at a particular restaurant, they might anticipate that you’ll ask about their food, the waiter, and how much the meal cost. But they might not expect a question about where the bathroom was located. Pathological liars enjoy additional questions, so this might not always be a helpful indicator. Microexpressions are very minor facial movements that capture a person’s true feelings. These are fleeting emotions, sometimes lasting for as little as 1/125th of a second.  Microexpressions will indicate emotion, but they do not necessarily give you clues as to why the person is feeling that emotion. For example, a lying person might show fear in a microexpression because they are scared they will be caught. But a truthful person might show fear in a microexpression because they are scared that they will not be believed. Keep in mind that pathological liars are very good at hiding their emotions, so this might not be something you can always use to spot lying. Sometimes a person will say one thing and their body will react in another way unintentionally. For example, they may answer yes to a question, but his head may shake side to side, indicating no. Keep in mind that nonverbal cues vary widely from person to person. What you recognize in one person may not translate to another person.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Fíjate si su rostro muestra alguna emoción. Hazle una pregunta inesperada. Analiza sus pequeñas expresiones. Busca desconexiones verbales o no verbales.


When a person reaches age the age of maturity, which is the United States ranges from 18 to 21 depending on state, they become a legal adult, taking on the rights and responsibilities that come with adulthood. Teenagers who are emancipated before the age of majority gain those same legal rights and responsibilities. They are no longer supported financially by their parents, and they are no longer legally required to rely on their parents to meet their needs. Consider the following rights and responsibilities you would have as an emancipated teenager:  You must find your own place to live, and be responsible for paying rent. You must provide your own food, clothing and other material needs. You may get a marriage license, driver's license, or join the armed services without your parents' permission. You may sign contracts without your parents' involvement, and be legally responsible for upholding them. You may buy and sell property. You may enroll in a school or college by yourself. You may choose what medical treatments you receive, and you are responsible for paying for them. Teenagers have a variety of reasons for wanting legal independence from their parents, from getting married at an early age to facing an abusive situation they want to leave. Consider pursuing emancipation if one of the following reasons applies to you:  You are legally married, and wish to have the same rights as an adult.In this case, emancipation is achieved with parental consent and permission from the court.  You are already financially independent, and wish to have the rights that come with financial independence. Your parents or guardian have told you that you cannot live with them. Your parents or guardian are physically or sexually abusive. The situation at your parents' or guardian's home is morally repugnant to you. Your parents or guardian have stolen your money.

When a record label considers an aspiring artist or band, they consider what kind of potential they have for selling out stadiums in live shows and making a profit in the long term, rather than just what they'll sound like on an album.  You may have to play free shows at first in order to get publicity for your band. You may need a "day job" to support yourself financially during this time. Live shows help you build your fan base even without records to sell. Connect with your fans to make them feel valued and special. They'll be more likely to spread the word about your music if they are loyal to you. You can do this through social media or a professional website. Both would be even better. Keep your look consistent across your online profiles and pages. Invest in some professional photos of you and/or your band, or ask a photo-savvy friend to take some good ones for you.  Make use social media platforms, such as YouTube, Soundcloud, Facebook, and Twitter. Include links to them on your webpage. Include digital version of your press kit, sample music, and up-to-date contact information on your pages.  Add new recordings as often as you can, and maintain a likeable persona. People are more likely to help you publicize your work if they like you as a person. Many great singers and talented musicians get overlooked because their music is not original or their lyrics are clichéd and stale. Focus on differentiating your sound from the rest of popular music in your genre.  Get feedback from people who have a good sense of current music and are willing to offer constructive criticism. This should be an ongoing process as you hone your skills as a musician. Learn to take criticism and adjust your work accordingly. You can ignore unhelpful criticism, but if it is consistent, you should consider taking it to heart. You need to invest in your track to make sure it sounds professional and polished before you send it off to record labels in a demo.  That means you'll have to pay to record it in a real studio, and then...

Elabora un potente espectáculo "en vivo". Construye una presencia en línea con tu nombre o el nombre de tu banda. Concéntrate en tu habilidad para componer. Perfecciona tu música.


When a shower head is in excellent condition, you should be able to remove it with your hands. If this is not possible, you will need to remove the shower head through other means. Before making any further attempts to remove your shower head, evaluate the fixture to determine why it is stuck:  Search for signs of rust—is there an orange or copper colored ring around the shower head’s connection to the shower arm? Search for signs of mineral build-up—is there a white ring around the the shower head’s attachment to the shower arm? If there are no signs of rust or mineral build-up, it is likely that your shower head is attached too tightly.

TL;DR in Spanish:

When adeniums take in water from the potting mixture, they also pull much of the nutrients. Lay a thin layer of general purpose fertilizer on top of the soil once every 2 weeks so the adenium flourishes. Mix the fertilizer at half the recommended strength, and only apply it during the growing season, which is between April and October. Adeniums are quick to grow and pruning may be necessary to maintain their shape and health. Prune at the end of the blooming season in early autumn. Use a sharp pair of pruning shears and cut where an unhealthy or unshapely stem connects to the other.  Sterilized pruning shears will help prevent fungus or rot on the exposed cuts.  Save the healthy stems you prune to propagate more adenium plants! Adeniums are from warm climates, so they will freeze and die if they are left outside. Bring any pots or containers into the house or a covered porch to keep them warm and growing. Plants will drop their leaves and go “dormant” at the end of the growing season. Continue providing them with light and small amounts of water so that they will bloom next season.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aplica un fertilizante cada 2 semanas, entre abril y octubre si vives en los Estados Unidos. Dales forma con un par de tijeras para podar cuando sea necesario. Lleva las plantas al interior cuando la temperatura caiga por debajo de los 0 °C (32 °F).


When all of your hair is tied up in the rags, cover it up with a silk scarf. This will help you to be more comfortable while you’re sleeping and prevent the rags from untying and coming out.  Silk scarves can be purchased at beauty supply stores, department stores, and online. This step is optional for the most comfort and best results; if you don’t have a silk scarf, you can still go to sleep with your rag rolls in without wearing one. A silk pillowcase also works as a way to reduce friction between your curls and the pillow. If you already sleep on a silk pillowcase, you don’t need to cover your hair with a scarf. Regardless of what kind of pillowcase you use, a scarf can help minimize frizz and tangles if you tend to toss and turn a lot at night. Go to sleep with your rag rolls tied in place. The rags may feel unusual or uncomfortable if you’re not used to sleeping with anything in your hair, but you will get used to it. In the morning, untie each of them and watch your curls unfold.  If a specific curl is extremely uncomfortable or hurts when you lay down, the rag may be tied a bit too tight. You can loosen the rag by untying the knot then re-tying it looser. Make sure your hair is completely dry before you remove the rags, or your curls will not set properly. If your hair is still a little damp when you get up, you can either leave the rags in a little longer or speed up the drying process with a hair dryer. Avoid brushing or combing your curls, especially if your hair doesn’t hold curl easily. Simply run your fingers through your hair gently to spread the curls out. Spray a light layer of hairspray all over your curls to hold them.  Set your curls with a volumizing hairspray for best results. If your hair is very fine, avoid using too much hairspray so you don’t weigh the curls down and make them fall out. A light layer of spray on all of your curls will be sufficient to hold them.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cúbrete el cabello con una bufanda. Duerme toda la noche con los pedazos de tela y desamárralos en la mañana. Despéinate con los dedos y rocía laca.


When applying for grad school, you will also need to contact previous professors for letters of recommendation. The best professors to ask for letters are those that you worked closely with in the past. For example, if you took several classes from the same professor or you completed an extensive research project under the supervision of a professor, this is who you should ask. Make sure that you choose a professor that you had individual and positive interactions with, even if you only took 1 class with them. When asking a professor to write a letter of recommendation you need to give them a lot of time to complete it. Not only does giving them over a month ensure that they do have time to complete it, it also shows them that you are serious and organized about your desire to go to graduate school. Even if you have had a close relationship with one of your professors, it is a good idea to make your email formal when asking them for a recommendation. Place "Dear Professor" and their last name at the beginning of the email.  Using a formal tone will show the professor that you are serious about your desire to enter graduate school. This in turn will encourage them to write you a more persuasive letter of recommendation. The subject line should be clear and concise. For example, it could say "Requesting a Letter of Recommendation". Professors tend to interact with a lot of students over the course of their careers. Because of this, it's a good idea to give them a few clues about who you are at the beginning of your email. This is especially important if it has been a few years since you interacted with the professor. For example, reference the class you took with them and what year it was. You could also reference a key paper you wrote in the class, any memorable guest speakers that came to class, or group projects that you were involved in. When asking a previous professor to write you a letter of recommendation, make the process as easy for them as possible. In addition to giving them several weeks to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige al profesor adecuado. Envíale un correo al profesor 5 o 6 semanas antes de la fecha de entrega de la carta. Usa un tono formal y profesional. Empieza recordándole al profesor quién eres. Haz una petición clara y razonable.


When applying paint to wooden surfaces and items, the easiest method is using a small or medium-sized paint roller. This works well because you can apply the paint quickly and thoroughly without overworking the paint. To use the paint roller, dip the roller into the paint and move your hand back and forth to saturate the roller. If you are painting over a dresser with fine corners or the edge of a table, for instance, it may be easier to apply the paint with a smaller brush. Use a 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) brush instead of or in addition to a paint roller. Before you add more paint to the surface, ensure the primer is completely dry. Drying time may vary based on your particular type or brand of primer. Touch the surface of the object with your fingertip to make sure it isn't tacky before moving on. Apply a second coat of primer after the first dries if you are covering very dark stain or varnish. On average, it takes about 1 hour for a coat of water-based paint to dry. It may dry faster, based on your surface, application, and paint type. If you don’t wait for the paint to dry, it may dry unevenly and look odd.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa un rodillo si vas a cubrir áreas grandes y planas. Aplica el imprimador y pinta con una brocha mediana para cubrir superficies pequeñas o intrincadas. Espera de 30 a 60 minutos para que el imprimador se seque. Deja que cada capa de pintura se seque durante 30 a 60 minutos.


When asking her out, the tone and language of your body should match up with your words. You want her to get the sense from how you’re carrying yourself that you are confident and want to get to know her a little better. Make sure you’re standing up straight, smiling, your shoulders are up, and your hands and arms are in a relaxed and non-defensive posture. There are several things you should avoid:  Slouching over. Crossing your arms. This demonstrates that you’re in a defensive posture. Fidgeting with your hands. Don’t play with things in your hands, and don’t keep your hands in your pockets. In order to give her a good impression about who you are, you've got to maintain good hygiene and look well-kept. If you typically don't maintain good hygiene, now is the time to step it up. There are a number of things you need to do:  Shave or groom your beard. Shower before a date. Use deodorant and cologne, if you want. Floss and brush your teeth. Wash your clothes and only wear clean clothes. When you ask her out, you need to make sure you seem ultra confident and sure of yourself. Try to think positively and focus on all of your good qualities in your own mind. There are pitfalls to this, though. Consider:  You don’t want to come off as arrogant or full of yourself. You don’t want her to think that you think you’re too good for her. You don’t want to alienate her or her friends by bragging or boasting about yourself. Don't make it sound like asking her out is a matter of life and death. Avoid inserting a sense of urgency into the situation. Instead, act nonchalant, but interested. If you are tense and nervous when asking her out, she will feel just as tense and nervous. Make your invitation sound as if it was the most natural thing for you to do (and it should), and this will help her feel comfortable and at ease with the plan as well. Proposing a grandiose date might give the wrong impression about who you are. While your first date should be memorable, you don’t want it to be the sort of thing that could...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de tener un lenguaje corporal positivo. Ten una buena higiene. Rebosa confianza. Actúa naturalmente y no te hagas mucho problema para invitarla a salir. Resiste la tentación de proponer una primera cita impresionante.


When attempting to read a face, you'll want to start by looking for macroexpressions. A Macro expression typically lasts between 0.5 and 4 seconds. These expressions will take over the entire face, giving you the full experience of this emotion.  Even a basic understanding of the seven basic emotions will help you read macroexpressions. These universal expressions include joy, surprise, contempt, sadness, anger, disgust, and fear. You've no doubt experienced these seven expressions, so you'll have an easy time reading them in a macroexpression. If a person is expressing these feelings through a macroexpression, they are most likely attempting to get you to respond to their emotion. In the case of sadness, they may be asking you to comfort them. If you're faced with a macroexpression of contempt, however, they might be trying to intimidate you. Know that it's easiest to manipulate a false emotion through macroexpression. Because it lasts longer, it's easier to settle into the performance of this emotion. Don't allow yourself to be deceived by false macroexpressions. Microexpressions typically last between 1/15 and 1/25 of a second, making them much harder to detect in another person.  While a macroexpression may reveal how someone is feeling, it's more likely that truth will be revealed in the microexpression.  When someone attempts to conceal an emotion, there may be some "leakage" of their actual emotion. This slip typically occurs in the microexpression. If you aren't paying close attention to the face, you may miss the real emotion this person is feeling. If you're hoping to get a deeper understanding of a person, you must be sensitive to microexpressions. An intimate knowledge of how someone is feeling is crucial to developing sensitive personal relationships. While a macroexpression may tell the truth, there's a chance that a person may be trying to elicit a response by "putting on" this emotion. When paying close attention to microexpressions, you're less likely to miss the actual emotion. Subtle...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lee las macroexpresiones. Capta las microexpresiones. Comprende las sutilezas. Acompaña las emociones con el lenguaje corporal.
