Give your date a call or text him or her to confirm everything the day of. You want to make sure that you're both on the same page about details like time and place you're meeting. If you're getting dinner and you're the one picking the restaurant, make sure to be considerate of your date's food preferences. Be sure to ask your date if there are any foods they won't eat, whether due to medical issues, religious beliefs, or personal tastes. For example, if your date is vegetarian, don't take him or her to a steakhouse. Likewise, if your date has a gluten sensitivity, check the menu for wheat-free options before hitting up a pizza place. You never know how your date may go, and the two of you may end up back at your place. You don't want your date to think you're a slob, so really take some time to clean if your place is a mess. Pay special attention to your living room, bedroom, and bathroom. While you shouldn't be fiddling with it during dinner, your phone is important to have ready just in case.  If you get lost on the way there or while heading back home, you can use your phone's GPS for help. If either you or your date is running late or has to cancel because of a last-minute emergency, you'll need your phone for communication. If you want to keep the night going and head to a cafe or bar after your planned destination, you can use your phone to help find the best place nearby. Even if your date ends up treating you, make sure you have the ability to at least offer to pay. Double-check that your preferred credit card is in your wallet and that your wallet is in your purse or jacket pocket. It's also a good idea to have cash to make splitting the bill easier or just in case the place you're going doesn't take credit cards. Have your purse or wallet ready ahead of time. In addition to money, pack gum, breath mints, tampons, pads, condoms, and/or a phone charger. Look up directions at least a few hours ahead of time. You can always us a GPS app on your phone, but you should definitely figure out how long...

Comunícate con la persona que vas a salir. Limpia tu casa. Carga tu celular y llévalo contigo. Asegúrate de que tengas una manera de pagar. Debes saber cómo llegar ahí. Relájate


Give your dog a collar with a name tag and your number on it. Make sure it fits comfortably on your dog's neck. An abused dog may get spooked or escape from you, and you want to make sure that if it does get away from you it can be identified. Give it its favorite food at regular times during the day. It is recommended that a dog be fed twice a day.  You should also give your dog open access to water at all times. Feeding, walks, play, and grooming should all happen at predictable times each day because having a routine will build a sense of security for your dog. This is usually a crate or a bed that the dog feels comfortable on. There are a wide variety of dog pillows and baskets in pet shops that you can buy for it.  The dog's space should serve as a place where it can take a break. If your dog is feeling overwhelmed or fearful, make sure to allow the dog to return to its safe space and leave it alone. You can also give the dog some toys to play with on its own. Most dogs won't like every toy you give them, but instead will choose a favorite and ignore others completely. Always call your dog by its name and try not to change it. Changing names will just confuse the dog. Having a name that your dog will respond to will keep help you to bond with the dog. Use a happy and upbeat tone of voice when you call the dog by name. This will help to build good will between you and the dog. Try lots of different treats until you find its favorite. Give it snacks when it's good, follows a command, or does a trick.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que tu perro lleve identificación. Alimenta al perro. Bríndale su propio espacio. Ponle un nombre a tu perro y enséñale a que responda a él. Compra premios que puedas usar para entrenar al perro.


Give your room a psychedelic feel or simply add  some colour. Purchase these lights online or at a vintage store. You may also be able to find them at a thrift store. Add two or more to create symmetry or patterns. Whether you frame them or just pin them up, old maps can create a certain atmosphere for your room. You may also use them as a pin board for places that you have traveled. Purchase them online, your local map store or find them at a thrift store. Choose your favourite movies or select interesting designs from other countries. If you are in university or college, there are often poster stores that provide unique designs that resemble art work. You may even be able to find vintage music poster replicates. Shop online, at a thrift store, or at your local poster store. You may also look for posters at theaters or record stores. Don’t be afraid to ask the owner of a store if you find a poster that catches your eye. Choose unique pots and plants to take advantage of colour and texture. Remember to choose plants that need little maintenance if you have a busy schedule. Plants literally add life to a room. Group plants two or more plants together for symmetry or to create a pleasant pattern. There no sense in hiding the jewelry that you are proud of. Find a display case or jewelry frame that complements your room’s decor to display your jewelry. You may also simply display them in a pattern on the top of your drawer. You may have a lot of mobile devices along with your lamp, TV, and computer. All the cords may be a nuisance and an eye sore. Purchase a cool place for your charges when they need to be out. Shop online or your local electronics store for displays that keep the cords out of the way while blending in with the rest of your decor. If you have a messy cosmetic bag or just a lot of makeup, simply stick magnets on the ones you use every day. Store them on a magnetic board by your mirror so that they remain tidy and convenient. Purchase stick on magnets at a dollar store or arts and crafts store.

Give your turtle a quick inspection every 1 or 2 days, such as when you feed it. Make sure your turtle's skin and shell are smooth and free of any marks, blisters, or blemishes. Check its eyes, nose, and beak for discharges or discoloration, and notice any unusual changes in behavior.  Turtles are generally healthy, but they are prone to infections, malnutrition, and eye problems. If you spot concerning signs, such as a soft, leathery shell, cloudy eyes, or skin blisters, bring it to an exotic pet vet who's experienced with treating turtles. Search online for an experienced local vet, or ask the breeder or pet store for referral. To keep the water as clean as possible, scoop out droppings, leftover food, and other debris daily. Be sure to wash your hands after touching the inside of the tank or handling your turtle. Turtles carry salmonella, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea. the water's pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels every few days. Get an aquarium water test kit at the pet supply store or online. Make sure the pH is between 6.0 and 8.0, or roughly pH neutral. Ammonia levels should be 0, nitrite levels should be less than 0.5 ppm (parts per million), and nitrate levels should be less than 40 ppm. Your turtle will drink the water, so it's important to test it and keep it clean. If the pH is off, amend the water with a store-bought agent, which you can find at the pet supply store. If ammonia, nitrate, or nitrate levels are high, change the water and consider upgrading your filter. Using a bucket or siphon, drain and discard about 1/4 of the tank's water. Then replace it with an equal amount of new water. The water contains beneficial bacteria; whenever possible, avoid changing it entirely. Transfer your turtle to the backup tank so you can clean the main enclosure. Save 1/4 to 1/2 of the water, and discard the rest along with the old peat moss or soil. Then scrub the rocks, hide box, and inside of the tank with a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts warm water.  Rinse the tank and accessories...

Give yourself some time and space to get away from the expectations, the conversations, the noise, the media, and the pressure. Take some time each day to go for a long walk and think. Plant yourself on a park bench and look. Take a long, thoughtful road trip. Whatever you do, move away from anything that distracts you from contemplating your life and where you want it to go. In solitude, you should feel independent and self-sufficient, not lonely, needy or afraid.  Every person needs time alone, whether they're extroverted or introverted, single or in a relationship, young or old. Solitude is time for rejuvenation and self-talk, for utter peace and for realizing that purposeful "loneliness" is not a bad place to be but rather, a liberating part of your overall existence.   If you are a creative person, you may find that alone-time will help stoke your creativity. While it's nice to collaborate with other people sometimes, it's hard to be truly creative when you're always surrounded by other people. Step back and tap into your creativity. When you believe in something or see beauty in something, you should do it no matter what anyone else thinks. If you have found something that is worthy of your best efforts, sacrifice, and tears, then you have found the most important pursuit of your life. Often, that pursuit can lead you to something ultimately fulfilling. The key here is to realize that it doesn't matter what it is. It could be preventing child hunger or it could be painting. There is no scale when it comes to passion. You either feel it or you don't; none is better than any other. When you find something that zaps you out of bed in the morning, cling onto it. You'll only bloom from there. Though ultimately soul-searching can only be done by you and it's only you that determines what you need, having a mentor will be an incredible resource when you hit those unavoidable bumps in the road. Seek out someone you trust who has a definite sense of self. How did they do it?  Let them know the process you're...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sumérgete en la soledad. Busca una pasión. Encuentra un mentor. Descubre tu camino.


Give yourself some time to buy the perfect bed. Don’t simply buy the first thing that you see. You want to make sure that you have done thorough research. The more rushed you are in making a purchase, the less likely you are to find a good deal. Buy your mattress in May if possible. Mattress companies often come out with new models in May or June. These are also months when retailers will mark down old models. Other good times include holidays, like Labor Day and President’s Day, when furniture stores have big sales. Unless you are completely sure, it is best to avoid buying a mattress online. If you slept on the mattress while staying with friends or at a bed and breakfast, you may be able to order it at discount online without too much worry. Yes, there are definitely cheap options on the Internet; however, since you usually won’t be able to see the bed firsthand, you should be wary of online deals. After you test out mattresses at several stores, look online for the best prices. Make sure to include shipping costs and warranties. The price you calculate online may be cheaper than what is offered in-store, in which case you can bring the price into a store to ask for a price reduction. After going to several stores, create a comparison sheet between retailers. Talk to the salesperson and ask if they offer a comfort guarantee. A comfort warranty states that if the bed is not comfortable, then you can exchange or return it.  If they do, ask for specific details. You want to know if you will need to exchange the bed or pay for the bed to be shipped back. Generally, this is included in the mattress price. Give preference to any retailer that gives a comfort guarantee for 1 year after purchase. Look for any discounts available. For example, some stores give you a discount for buying a bed set. Sold separately, a box spring and mattress can be over $1,000 each. However, most bed stores are willing to make a deal when you purchase both at once. Some stores offer prices reduction if you find that another store has...

TL;DR in Spanish:

No te apresures. Elige el momento adecuado. Ten mucho cuidado cuando hagas compras en línea. Compara los precios en línea. Consigue una garantía de confort. Busca descuentos. Considera conseguir un financiamiento sin intereses.


Given the sweet and earthy flavor of broccoli, it can easily substitute lettuce in your favorite salad dish. Experiment by using different fruit combinations with grilled chicken, turkey, or any other meat of your choosing. Broccoli salad can be an excellent lunch or dinner option to serve to your family and friends.  For a refreshing afternoon salad, take 1 head of broccoli florets and mix it with slices of fresh strawberries, red onions, and almonds. Drizzle on a dressing of 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of lemon juice, and a 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of mayonnaise. Serve this salad chilled, and enjoy.  For a fun evening salad, add chunks of grilled chicken to 1 head of broccoli florets, and sprinkle on some sweet cranberries, and crunchy sunflower seeds or walnuts. Then whisk together a zesty dressing using 3⁄4 cup (180 mL) of mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons (9.9 mL) of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of honey. When paired with other raw vegetables, broccoli can be used as a simple side dish for large dinners. To your broccoli florets, add chopped carrots, blanched pea pods, and slices of bell peppers. Then toss the mixed vegetables with any sauces or juices that are prevalent in your meal to tie the flavors together. Serve the florets and mixed vegetables with grilled chicken and rice. Drizzle on some soy, sweet and sour, or teriyaki sauce to make a colorful Asian cuisine. You can buy broccoli slaw mix that is already assembled at the store, but if you choose to make your own, you can experiment with mixing different types of fruit and vegetables. For a dressing, either marinate the broccoli-mix in traditional slaw vinaigrette found at your local grocery store, or get creative and whisk up your own.  To the florets from 1 medium head of broccoli, consider adding 3 large grated carrots, 1 cup (100 g) of shredded red or green cabbage, 2 sliced green onions, and 1 diced and peeled red or green apple. Complement the mixture with a spicy vinaigrette by mixing 1 cup (240 mL) of mayonnaise, 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of apple cider vinegar,...

Giving an IV injection takes a lot of skill and practice. It is a specialized technique not often administered to cattle by the owner. If you cannot perform the IV injection properly or don't know exactly how it's done, contact your veterinarian and have them perform the procedure for you. You can do this by running your fingers down the side of the cow's neck (it will be below where the invisible injection triangle would be) above the dewlap. You will feel the jugular vein throbbing. Once you have located it, press down on the lower part of the vein to make it bulge out. This will help you better locate the vein when giving the shot. Air bubbles, if injected into the jugular vein, can cause a serious health risk, if not death. If air is present in the syringe where the medication has been injected, hold the syringe upright and tap it using your fingers, until the air bubbles go up. Disperse the bubbles further by slightly depressing the plunger until all the air bubbles have noticeably gone out. A little medication will come out of the needle as you do so. Slowly, but firmly, insert the syringe into the bulging jugular vein. You will know if you have correctly hit the jugular vein because just a slight pulling of the plunger will draw blood into the syringe and mix with its contents. This is a good sign, unlike for SQ and IM injections. Very slowly press down on the plunger so that the fluid gradually goes into the cow’s vein. Once you have given the required amount of medicine, gently remove the needle. Hold your hand over the spot and press against it for a few moments to reduce the bleeding that will occur when you give this type of shot.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Solicita asistencia veterinaria al aplicar una inyección intravenosa. Ubica la vena yugular. Revisa la jeringa para asegurarte de que no haya burbujas en su interior. Inserta la jeringa en un ángulo de 30 a 45 grados sobre la superficie del cuello. Administra el medicamento.


Giving birth is a very natural process for a cat and something that she is built to experience alone. Therefore, you won't need to directly intervene unless there are signs that the pregnancy is going awry. Learn the stages of birthing so you can better be equipped to know what is natural.  The first stage of labor lasts about 36 hours, and will typically be shorter if the cat has previously had kittens. During this period your cat will visit her nesting spot regularly but also have intermittent contractions with signs of strain. Late in this stage, panting and scratching at the nesting area may increase. The second stage will last anywhere from five to thirty minutes for each kitten. There will be stronger contractions and each kitten will be pushed out by active straining of the mom, usually head first. The mom will break the bag and chew the cord herself for each kitten and will require no additional assistance. The third and final stage will find the mom passing a placenta membranes and mass for each kitten. The mother cat will eat the placentas so as to hide the evidence that she gave birth. The entire process should happen within four to six hours. If it lasts longer than this, you should call a vet for help. Although most deliveries happen without any problem, you'll want to know what to watch for and how to act in case of a worst case scenario.  If a kitten is only partly out and the mother seems to be tired and given up on pushing, you can gently help the kitten ease out but you must be very gentle. If the mother does not bite through the cord, you can help by tying off the cord using a clean sewing thread about 3 centimeters from the kitten's body. If a mother cat does not clean a kitten you can do so by using a clean kitchen towel and gently wiping the kitten. Make sure to clear its mouth and nose of any liquid that might restrict breathing. There are complications that can happen during a pregnancy that should only be handled by a vet. If you notice any of these situations, you should immediately...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Infórmate sobre el proceso de parto. Presta atención para encontrar formas de ayudar a tu mascota. Prepárate para llamar al veterinario si ocurre alguna emergencia.


Giving your cat a single large meal every day will boost the alkalinity of their urine. To avoid this, plan to feed your cat 4–6 small meals throughout the day. This will even out their body’s intake of nutrients and calories, and should prevent a spike in the cat’s pH alkalinity. For example, give your cat a small scoop of food at 8am before you leave for work and another at 5pm when you get home. Then give the cat 2 more scoops of food later in the day, around 7pm and 10pm. In nature, cats get the majority of their water from the food they eat. Domestic cats are healthiest—and have the best urinary tract health—when they also receive plenty of hydration through their food. If you currently feed you cat kibble, switch the dry food out for a high-quality wet food.  For comparison, kibble contains from 5–10% water, while wet food contains about 75% water. Kibble dehydrates cats who eat it, and is high in carbohydrates, which cats’ bodies are not prepared to process. Cats are notoriously picky eaters, and it can take time for a cat to change their diet. If your cat doesn’t take to the canned food right away, you can add more water content to its dry food to get the cat used to a wetter meal. Scoop up a handful of water, and use your fingers to sprinkle it over the bowl of dry kibble.  To further entice your cat, try sprinkling the water from canned tuna over their dry food instead of using tap water. Use this technique as a way to transition your cat from kibble to canned food. Raw food contains even more water than does store-bought wet food, and will hydrate your cat far more than kibble would. So, raw food will keep your cat as hydrated as possible, and keep their pH low at a safe, healthy level. To make raw food, you can purchase an already-made mix of raw meats from a local grocery store. Then, mix in some raw eggs, water, and health-boosters like vitamins E and B. Switching your cat from 1 type of diet to another overnight will upset your cat’s stomach if you. Instead, take a period of 4–6 weeks to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dale al gato varias comidas pequeñas durante el día. Dale al gato comida húmeda en vez de croquetas. Humedece las croquetas del gato si se resiste a comer comida enlatada. Dale al gato una dieta de comida cruda. Ayuda al gato en la transición a la dieta en un período de semanas.


Giving your dog a massage may help to provide stress relief, better circulation, and pain relief. It is also a great way to bond with your dog and it may even help you to detect injuries or other health conditions that may require treatment. Massage is a recognized therapy with beneficial effects that is advocated and practiced by veterinary physiotherapists. A massage is not always the answer to your dog’s pain. In some cases, a massage may make your dog feel worse. You should not massage your dog if he has:  a broken or dislocated hip an infection in the joint a skin infection cancer If you suspect any of these conditions, take your dog to visit your veterinarian right away. These are ailments that need immediate medical treatment by a professional. This shouldn't be too hard as he'll likely lay on this side anyway in an effort to keep weight off the affected hip. When you touch the area, you may notice that it's stiff and tense even when it's not being used. This is a good sign that massage can be effective. As long as the skin or bone isn't broken, massage can help alleviate your pup's pain. However, if you notice any skin issues or if your dog is audibly in pain, skip the massage and go straight to your vet for a physical assessment. In a rocking motion, apply pressure with the heel of your hand, working upwards towards the heart. Slow and gentle movements are soothing; hard and fast movement stimulates. For pain relief, 1 motion every 5 seconds is ideal. Massage the affected limb for 10 to 20 minutes, two to three times a day. An animal with hip pain will have tense, stiff muscles. The tension in the muscles compresses the joint, making inflamed surfaces rub together, causing further pain. Massage not only helps the muscles to relax, but it also stimulates the release of endorphins – a natural painkiller with a similar chemical composition to morphine. To make sure you're massaging the hip correctly, imagine massaging fluid back towards the heart. Working the opposite direction forces blood to pool...

Giving your plant too little water will result in a scorched plant with crispy leaves. Too much water can lead to mold, fungus, and stinky rot. Understanding what each plant needs will help you give it the right amount of water.   Low Moisture: Many desert plants belong to this group. They don't like high-moisture environments, since they cause mold, fungi, and rot to grow on the plant. With these, provide low humidity and water only when the soil is almost dried out.  Moderate Moisture: Many plants enjoy moderate moisture and humidity. Wait for the soil to dry out a bit (like a half or quarter of the soil) and water thoroughly. Keep an eye out and provide humidity as needed.  High Moisture: Some houseplants are real water babies and love high humidity and soil moisture. These plants do better in a terrarium, vitrine, or indoor water display. A few even can live with their roots submerged in water. If your plant is subjected to high humidity and low temperature and light, it is likely to rot and grow fungus. That means you need to lower your watering levels if the temperature drops. English ivies, English primroses, begonias, and some ferns don't like crowded, damp conditions. Don't place these plants in crowded plant groups or they will get rot and mildew. For practice, use room temperature water that has sat out overnight. However, you can also use lukewarm faucet water if you need to water a plant immediately. If you're not certain of the chemicals in your water or if your plant is sensitive to chemicals, you can use filtered water or spring water. Watch how your plant reacts. Some plants hate fluoride, lime, or salts that are present in water sources. Even the exact same species in the exact same situation in different pots will need water at different times. Treat each plant as a individual. Also, plants higher up on shelves or in hanging pots need more water usually than their counterparts that are lower down. When dealing with plants that require high humidity, it's best to leave the plant alone and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Riega cada tipo de planta adecuadamente. Mantén las plantas brillantes, cálidas e hidratadas en vez de oscuras, frías y húmedas. Dale la mejor agua. Evita regar las plantas en un horario estricto. Evita rociar las plantas. A algunas plantas sensibles debes regarlas desde la parte de abajo.


Glancing headers involve you turning your head into the ball at the last minute. This helps you trick the goalie. This sneaky technique may be exactly what your team needs to beat your toughest rivals. In order to keep the goalie from anticipating your goal, deliberately angle your body away from where you plan to head the ball. This may feel different from other headers, since you usually want your body squared up with the goal. However, this altered step is a key part of fooling the goalkeeper. Glancing headers require less force than other headed goals, as you’re usually just redirecting already-powerful crossed passes or corner kicks to fool the goalie at the last second. This means that the power you get from a squared-off body is less critical here than with other headed goals. Run to the ball to get yourself in position. Jump up and turn your head at the last minute to change the direction of the ball. By turning your head so late, you keep the goalie from being able to move quickly enough to make a save. When you want to make the ball quickly go left, hit it on the right side with the center of your forehead. To shift it to the right, strike it on the left. These quick changes in direction will increase the sneakiness of this move.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Desvía la pelota para engañar al portero. Inclina el cuerpo lejos de la dirección del cabezazo. Gira la cabeza para golpear la pelota justo antes del impacto. Golpea la pelota en diferentes lados para dirigirla a la derecha o izquierda.


Glass can chip or shatter if it comes into contact with the blades of your blender. If this happens, you'll have to throw out your mixture, otherwise you could ingest glass, which can be deadly. The non-stick coatings on pans, too, can chip off into your mixture. This coating can be unhealthy if ingested. The safest kind of mixing container for you to use with your immersion blender will be stainless steel. By lowering the motor of your immersion blender into your mixture, you could cause the motor to burn out, the electrical components to short out, or you could potentially electrocute yourself. Even with especially deep dishes, refrain from lowering the motor into or beneath your mixture. Always unplug your blender before cleaning it. Never immerse the motor of your blender in water when cleaning, but you can clean it with mild soap and a sponge or damp cloth. The blending shaft should be washed by hand in hot water and should also be cleaned with a mild soap. When cleaning the blending shaft, be extra careful around the blades. These are very sharp, and can cut you easily. Immersion blenders are simple enough for children to use, and may be confused for a toy. This can be very dangerous, so you should store your blender in safe locations that are difficult for children to access, like in a high cupboard.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evita usar cacerolas antiadherentes y platos de vidrio. Mantén el motor de la licuadora encima de todos los líquidos. Desconecta la licuadora para limpiarla. Guarda la licuadora en un lugar seguro.


Glass canning jars work well for this purpose. Fill the container to the top to minimize the amount of oxygen in the container. Break up 3 cinnamon sticks and immerse them in the milk. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of fresh mint by rolling it between your fingers. Place it in the milk and stir it. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of rose petals by rolling them between your fingers. Place them directly in the milk and stir them. Scrape the seeds from 1 vanilla bean into the milk. Stir them well.  Remove them and remove the plant or spice particles by pouring the milk through a metal strainer. Scented almond milk will have a mild flavor of the plant or spice. The act of breathing in the scent can make the taste of the milk more pleasing. These milks are great to use on desserts, granola or in smoothies and shakes. You can also add honey or agave syrup to create a sweeter flavor in your scented milk.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Vierte de 1 a 2 tazas (237 a 473 ml) de leche de almendra en una jarra de vidrio. Agrega 1de los siguientes ingredientes a tu jarra antes de sellarla. Tapa las jarras de leche para que estén herméticamente cerradas. Colócalas en el refrigerador por 1 día.


Glass jars and bottles look similar to a vase. Cut the flower’s stems to same length as the jar or bottle, so that the petals emerge just over the top of the vessel. To give your jar or vase an extra flair, try tying a colorful ribbon or a thick piece of twine around the middle. Any basket you have lying around will work. Soak floral foam in water until it sinks. Place the foam along the bottom of the basket. Stick the end of each stem into the foam. The flowers will absorb water from the foam. Buy floral foam at flower shops and garden stores. If you have a big bouquet of flowers, a jar or basket may not be big enough. Instead, a water pitcher makes for a great vase. Watering cans, decanters, and large teapots can also be used in this way. If the stem of the flower is long, cut it down to about 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm). The petals should rest just against the lip of the cup. Some small vessels you can use include:  Tea cups Coffee mugs Drinking glasses Wine glasses Dessert bowls

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pon las flores en frascos o botellas de vidrio vacías. Arregla las flores en una cesta con espuma floral. Llena una jarra con agua para ramos más grandes. Coloca las flores con tallos más cortos dentro de una taza o tazón.


Gleeking is very difficult, and it’s likely that you won’t be successful the first time that you try to do it. Remain persistent and try it again. Make sure that you have enough saliva built up each time that you try to do it.  It may take a couple of practice sessions before you start to see results. If you’re doing it correctly, the spit should be shooting out from underneath your tongue, not the back of your throat. The shower is the perfect place to practice gleeking. You’re already cleaning yourself, so it’s not the end of the world if you happen to spit a little. Practice the motion over and over again. You can also wash your mouth out if it dries out! If you chew on the tip of your tongue after eating something, you may get a tingly sensation in the bottom of your jaw. This is the saliva that you need to gleek properly. Lightly chewing on the tip of your tongue is an excellent way to build up a lot of saliva fast and can be a simple solution if you you’re your throat drying out a lot. If you’re not seeing results in terms of the distance of your gleeks, you may be inhaling while you’re doing it. Try exhaling right as you push your tongue forward and see if that helps. Although there are several steps involved, the odds of successfully gleeking improve if you can perform each step quickly and in one fluid motion. Practice working on it daily to get the steps down and improve your chances. It may be easier to improve if you study what you look like in the mirror when you try to gleek. Compare your attempts at gleeking to what it looks like when other people do it. Just be sure to clean off your mirror if you happen to spit on it! Never gleek on other people. Gleeking is a neat trick to show your friends, but it isn’t something you want to do to another person.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sigue practicando hasta que te acostumbres. Mastica la punta de la lengua para generar saliva si tu boca permanece seca. Intenta exhalar mientras escupes si no logras alcanzar ninguna distancia. Trabaja en hacer que la lengua realice un movimiento. Intenta escupir delante de un espejo para ver cómo lo haces.

Just like Glenn, Karsh is one of the four Devas of the Acacia Dragoons.  Go to the back room of the ship in Another World’s Termina right after you finish the Dead Sea. Choose Karsh to help rescue Riddel. If you have chosen Zoah, Karsh will join after Riddel is rescued. He uses an ax as his weapon. Despite his small element grid, Karsh has high strength, HP, and defense; he is also strong in single tech skills and can learn double techs. Get his Axiomatic level 7 skill by defeating Solt and Peppor on Isle of the Damned with Karsh in your party. Find Razzly, a whimsical fairy, in Water Dragon Isle along with her sister Rosetta.  Agree to save Kid after she is poisoned. Head to Home World's Hydra Marshes and save Razzly from the Pentapus before killing the Hydra. She will then join your party. Razzly uses a rod or a floral rod as her weapon. She is by far the highest of the Green Innates. Her first tech is extremely strong once it becomes available, and she also learns triple techs. Obtain Razzly's level 7 skill, Raz-Flower, by not including her in the battle with the Hydra in Hydra Swamp. Let Rosetta die, and when the Terra Tower surfaces, go to Water Dragon Island in the Home World and examine the flowers that grow in the middle of the sprite village. Radius is the wise old chief of Arni and a former member of Acacia Dragoons. He appears as an elderly man...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consigue a Glenn. Consigue a Karsh. Consigue a Razzly. Consigue a Radius. Consigue a Sprigg. Consigue a Turnip. Consigue a NeoFio. Consigue a Van.


Gloves enable you to reach around the Venetian blinds by hand, but there are many alternatives you can use. Many people like using an old sock. If you don't mind putting your hand in something that was on your feet, a sock is about as easy to use as a glove. Otherwise, you could use a clean, soft cloth or another piece of fabric.  Many general stores sell dusting mitts. They are practically made for blinds and you won't find a better tool for light cleaning. Look for it along with any other cleaning supplies you need. Feather dusters are great ways to do some routine maintenance on your blinds. They are great for reaching higher spots on the blinds with ease but aren't as effective at clearing off individual slats. Other options include paper towels and clothes dryer sheets. Dryer sheets are good because they prevent static electricity that attracts dust. These products need to be swapped out as they get filthy with grime. Start with the center of each slat and work toward the edges. Finish one side, then go back to the center and work toward the other side. You will need to do this for each slat, so it isn't the quickest process, but it does remove plenty of dust. Press as gently as possible on the blinds and don't squeeze them as you brush across the edges.  Working from the center ensures you don't streak dust from one end to the other. Be sure to check your cleaning tool and replace it as it gets dirty. Remember to get any handles or strings hanging from the blinds. Scrub them the same way as the slats. That dust has to go somewhere, and eventually, it's going to fill up your glove or cloth. Take it outside and shake it out to release the dust. You could also get a trash bag, stick your glove or duster in it, and shake off the dust. Do this each time your duster looks dirty to avoid putting dust back on the blinds as you clean them.  For disposable dusting tools like paper towels, throw them away as they accumulate grime. You may need to go through quite a few of them depending on how dirty the blinds...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge un guante de algodón u otra herramienta para eliminar el polvo suave. Pasa los dedos ligeramente sobre las tablillas y los accesorios. Cambia o limpia el plumero para evitar dejar polvo sobre las tablillas. Voltea las persianas para limpiar el otro lado.


Gloves will protect the citric acid in the lemon juice from going into small cuts and abrasions on your hands as you work with the lemons. Really, put on the gloves! You've heard the saying "Squeezing lemon juice on a paper cut"? That's exactly as painful as it sounds, plus the citric acid really does eat away at the skin. Rolling the lemon on a cutting board with the palm of your hand starts to separate and break down the fiber in the lemon, making it easier to juice. Most lemon juicers require that you slice the lemon in half in order to provide an open surface for the juice to escape. If you don't zest the lemons now, you'll end up wasting all that good zest! See Freezing Fresh Lemon Peel and Dry Preserving lemon Peel, above. You can either use a sharp potato peeler for large ribbons of zest for use in cocktails or to infuse olive oil or a citrus zester for smaller pieces of zest for use in cooking and baking. Depending on your preferred method of lemon squeezing, you may end up with pithy juice with seeds or fibers. Straining the juice allows you to filter out the tiny seeds and other fibrous material so that the lemon juice is smooth and has no particles. Use either a double or triple layer of cheesecloth over a measuring cup, or a fine metal mesh strainer. These leftover fibrous parts are chock full of pectin, which is what makes jelly jelly-like, so use them instead of buying packaged pectin at the store for making jellies.  Store pith in the freezer in a plastic bag or plastic storage container, if you are not making jelly or preserves now. Freezing lemon juice allows you to preserve it for up to one year. For a useful lemonade variation, heat lemon juice and sugar (to taste) over a medium flame until sugar is dissolved. Let cool to room temperature and then pour into ice cube trays for easy lemonade ice cubes that won't dilute your lemonade. Date the plastic bags and make sure to note whether the lemon juice is natural or has added sugar, and freeze for up to one year.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ponte guantes de látex o de otro material. Haz rodar los limones unas cuantas veces aplicando presión sobre la tabla de cortar. Corta los limones por la mitad. Raspa la cáscara de los limones con el acanalador de cítricos. Coloca la mitad de un limón sin cáscara en el exprimidor y extráele el jugo. Cuela el jugo de limón al menos una vez. Guarda la piel blanca del limón que hayas usado en una bolsa plástica. Vierte jugo de limón colado en cubiteras y congélalo completamente. Vacía las cubiteras en bolsas plásticas.


Glue a bell cap onto a cracked marble using E6000 glue or another high strength glue that adheres to glass. Wait until it dries completely, then push a jump ring onto the ring of the bell cap. You can now fit a necklace chain onto the jump ring.  Use needle-nose pliers for greater control. You may need two pairs of pliers, so you can grip both sides of the split jump ring and rock them back and forth to "walk" over the necklace chain. Find a glue tube with a long nozzle for precise control. This adds an even more colorful sparkle when the polish reflects through the cracks in the glass. Simply coat the flat side of the marble with nail polish and let dry before using in rings or other jewelry. You may need two or three coats, depending on the opacity of the nail polish. You can easily glue cracked flat marbles onto a ring base with E6000 glue. To make your own ring base, wrap two wires around a ring mandrel, or any object the same size as your finger. Secure them by wrapping around the ring setting, then spiral the rings around each other to create a flat surface for your marble to rest on. Finish by tucking the wires around the ring beneath. You don't need much practice to make a wire cage. Just make three or four wire loops, and bunch them together at the top by wrapping the ends of a piece of wire tightly around them. Push the marble into the center of the cage, then use pliers and wire cutters to make adjustments and loop the wire around jump rings or other jewelry components.  If you enjoy this look, there are all kinds of techniques you can learn. Try this classy wrapping pattern. Aluminum wire is easy to manipulate and doesn't tarnish. 20- or 22-gauge wire works well for more jewelry projects.

Glue removers that are xylene or orange oil-based work well. Pick a liquid-based product able to soak through fabric. An adhesive remover that comes in a spray bottle will be much easier to work with for this purpose. Common brands are Goo Gone, De-Solv-It, and Goof Off. Rubbing alcohol can also be an effective alternative. Even if the adhesive remover is advertised as fabric safe, it is still possible that it may stain your particular item. You will need to test it out first before using the remover on a patch. Do this over a clean sink to avoid making a mess.  Find a small, inconspicuous area on your item that is not easily visible during normal use. For example, the inside back bottom edge of a hat or jacket would be a good choice. Dab a small amount of adhesive remover onto this spot. Work the adhesive remover into the fabric using your fingers or a clean rag. Rinse off the adhesive remover and check for discoloration. If your item is a T-shirt, a hat, or a pair of paints, turn it inside out. You will need to access the fabric that is bonded to the patch. If your item is a canvas bag, simply lay it out flat upside-down. Squirt or pour the glue remover liberally on the back of the cloth. Use enough that is soaks through your item completely. Make sure you cover the whole area behind the patch. Work the remover into the fabric using either your fingers or a clean rag. Wait about one minute for the remover to loosen the patch. The adhesive remover should successfully soften the glue, making it sticky. The patch should now easily come off your item.  Turn the item right-side-out. Hold it with one hand. Grip the edge of the patch between the index finger and thumb of your other hand. Pull back to lift the edge of the patch up and off your item. Work your way around the patch until it has been entirely peeled away. If part of the patch is still stuck to your item, try repeating the process, focusing on the spots where the adhesive did not soften properly.  Reapply the adhesive remover however many times it...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra un removedor de adhesivos que no dañe las telas. Prueba en un área de tu ropa. Expón la tela debajo del parche. Aplica tu removedor de adhesivos. Despega el parche. Repite sobre cualquier área difícil.


Glue the bottle caps together with a hot glue gun into a design of your choosing, like a flower or a star. Then, use a small nail and a hammer to punch two holes in each cap. A ball-point pen, if pressed hard enough into the plastic, can also be used to create holes in the caps. Secure the hooks of the earrings in the holes. Never leave a hot glue gun unattended, especially if you have children or pets. Cut the base of a 2-liter empty water bottle with a utility knife and fill it up to the top with sand, pebbles, or gemstones. Nestle a small votive candle in the middle of this container for your personalized candle holder. ake candy dishes or desk organizers. This works best with a 1-liter water bottle. All you have to do is cut off the bottom of the bottle with a utility knife so that the bottom is only an inch or two tall. Line the part you cut with felt so that you don’t accidentally cut yourself with the sharp plastic, and decorate away. Fill the dish with candy or with office supplies like push pins or rubber bands. This works best with a 1-liter water bottle. To turn your empty water bottles into food containers, simply take two bottles of different heights and cut them through the middle with a utility knife. Then, fill up the longer base with rice, beans, sugar, or any non-perishable food and cover it with the base of the other bottle. You can cut water bottles with scissors or a utility knife. Keep a steady grip on the bottle and rotate it slowly. Be careful not to injure yourself. This will work best with a larger bottle that has a handle, such as a gallon bottle. All you have to do is poke about 10-15 holes in the bottle cap, fill up the bottle with water, and tightly seal the cap. You can use a nail and a hammer to make the holes.

Glue your button in place to create the center of the flower. Glue your bottom at the centre of your spiraled ribbon. Make sure the bloom puffs out towards you. You may also glue leaves at the back of the flower for added effect. You may also cover the chipboard with a piece of matching felt or mist the chipboard piece with paint that matches your ribbon before gluing your ribbon onto it.

TL;DR in Spanish:


Glyphosate is a chemical herbicide that will eradicate an entire stalk of bamboo and the rhizomes growing underground. Search online or at a home and gardening store for a weed killer with glyphosate as an active ingredient.  Herbicides that contain glyphosate will kill any plants that come in direct contact with the herbicide. This is because it is a non-selective herbicide. Popular brands of herbicide that contain glyphosate include Roundup Pro Herbicide, Tiger Brand Quick Kill Concentrate, and Ace Concentrate Weed & Grass Killer. Use a manual or electric saw and cut down the bamboo near its base, so that it runs flush with the ground. If you are cutting down a very tall bamboo plant, cut down the top of the plant first, then make another cut towards the base of the bamboo. Late winter is the best time to cut the bamboo down. Wait till the bamboo shows new growth. Applying the herbicide to the new growth will kill the bamboo stalk and the rhizomes under the ground. Sprinkle or spray the herbicide onto the top of the bamboo stump.  Wear rubber gloves, long sleeves, long pants, close toed shoes, and protective eyewear when handling the herbicide. Diluting the herbicide with water may weaken it and makes it ineffective. Always read the instructions before using herbicides. There are specific moisture and temperature requirements to keep in mind when using these types of products. Do not apply this herbicide in or near bodies of water or you may kill surrounding wildlife. It may take up to 4 applications of the herbicide to fully eradicate the bamboo. Continue to cut down new growth and apply the herbicide through the spring and summer.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra un herbicida con glifosato. Corta el bambú hasta el suelo. Aplica el herbicida al tocón del bambú. Repite el proceso una vez al mes hasta que el bambú se muera.


Glyphosate, an active ingredients in weed killers like Roundup, is a popular choice for halting the spread of invasive ground covers like Bermuda grass. Look for the herbicide at your local gardening store or home improvement center. It is typically sold as a spray, making it easy to coat an entire section of the lawn with relative ease.  Keep in mind that glyphosate is not a selective herbicide—this means that it's harmful to any type of plant it comes into contact with, not just weed-like species like Bermuda grass. Remember that glyphosate is toxic, so you should use it with care. Make sure that you follow all of the instructions on the label and wear protective equipment. Sweep a garden hose on low pressure over the Bermuda grass twice a day for just long enough to wet it. A good watering helps the leaves grow green and lush. This is desirable because chemical herbicides are often absorbed through the leaves rather than the roots.  If you use a sprinkler system for irrigation, set it to douse the grass in regular intervals. The best time to use herbicides to beat back belligerent Bermuda grass is during the spring and summer months, when the leaves are readily soaking up the most nutrients. Coat the affected area evenly with a heavy misting of the herbicide. As it soaks into the leaves, it will begin to break down the enzymes the Bermuda grass relies on to grow. Allow the grass to dry naturally, and avoid mowing or irrigating for the next several days.  Follow the instructions on the label carefully to make sure you’re deploying the chemical safely and correctly.  It’s a good idea to wear gloves and a strap on a facemask or respirator to protect your airways when working with glyphosate. Bermuda grass is a particularly persistent and resilient species, which means one round of herbicide will rarely do the trick. Continue treating your lawn once a week to combat the grass’s ability to spread. You may need to repeat the process up to 5 times to neutralize it completely.  Look for Bermuda grass to dry out...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra un poco de glifosato. Riega el césped por completo de 1 a 2 semanas antes de aplicar el herbicida. Rocía la grama con glifosato. Repite la aplicación tantas veces como sea necesario hasta que la grama se extinga.


Gmail offers POP and IMAP so you can check your Gmail in other apps.  IMAP is recommended for use with Gmail because you can check your email by visiting gmail.com as well as within your mail client. You can use POP, but understand that once your mail software “pops” the message from Gmail, you won’t be able to log into Gmail in your web browser to read or respond to the message. Log into Gmail (in your web browser) and open the Settings menu. Click the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” link and select “Enable IMAP” or “Enable POP,” depending on your needs. Click “Save Changes” when done. The IMAP server is imap.gmail.com and the port is 993. The POP server is pop.gmail.com and the port is 995.  The username and password for your mail settings is the same as what you use to log into Gmail. Gmail only offers secure POP and IMAP.

Go all the way around the bikini bottom and fold in by a half-inch (1.7 cm) or inch (2.5 cm).  Pin into place. Because the bikini bottom isn't a huge garment, you can sew it by hand in a reasonable amount of time, if you want to.  However, for a straighter and swifter stitch, use a sewing machine.  Remove the pins as you go. That is, you should be able to see the folds and seams you just did. Where the bikini bottom would sit around your waist, sew the two sides above the leg holes together.  Turn the garment inside out and try it on to check the fit.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dobla y asegura con un alfiler las orillas de la parte inferior del bikini. Cose el dobladillo de las orillas. Dobla la forma de reloj de arena a la mitad, como una hamburguesa, así la parte externa estará orientada hacia adentro. Cose las dos partes juntas.


Go along the spines to find the letter your subject should be under. For instance, if you're looking for "Civil War," your subject will be under "C." Keep in mind that many encyclopedias have so many volumes that some letters may be spread out over multiple volumes. For instance, the Civil War might fall under a volume that is "Ci to Co." Flip through the volume to find your topic. The subjects are all alphabetical, so you'll find your subject according to its first few letters. Remember, once you've found the section for the first letter, narrow down by the second letter, then the third, and so on.  For instance, "Civil War" will be alphabetized by "C," then the "i," then the "v," and so on. The encyclopedia will have words at the top of the page to show you where you are in the alphabet. You can also simply take down a volume and look through it to find a topic that interests you. Each volume will have a range of topics, even in a more specialized collection, so just look through it until you find something that interests you.  Try keeping your sessions to twenty or thirty minutes. Flip to something you find interesting, such as an instrument you play or want to play. For instance, you could look up the saxophone just as a place to start. Browsing a print collection is actually much easier than browsing an electronic collection because you can easily turn the pages to go through a wide range of subjects.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mira en los lomos para ubicar la letra. Busca tu tema al interior del volumen. Revisa la enciclopedia.


Go around the box with a tape measure. Note the box’s length and width and keep these on hand as you look for an appropriate cabinet. Also measure the box's depth if your circuit breaker sticks out from the wall. The cabinet has to fit around the box, allowing you easy access in case you need to reach inside. Leave at least 1 in (2.5 cm) between the breaker and the cabinet’s outer edge, if possible. This way, you have a little space to work with when screwing the cabinet to the wall. Your cabinet also needs to have a cuttable back end so you can create an opening for the box. Use the measurements you took earlier to sketch the box’s outline on the back of the cabinet. You can do this with a pencil and a ruler. Make sure the lines are straight and accurate so you can remove enough of the backing. Lay the cabinet flat. Cut slowly around the lines you sketched earlier. Once the back is off, hold the cabinet up to the box. If the box is obstructed, cut off more backing as needed before hanging the cabinet. To protect yourself, wear form-fitting clothing. Put on safety goggles and headphones. A respirator mask is also useful. A stud-finder is a small sensor that detects the location of the wood beams in your wall. The circuit box is positioned near a stud, but your cabinet may span across a few of them. Mark the stud locations with a pencil. Measure the cabinet with a tape measure, then sketch out its positioning on the wall. Using a straightedge, draw a line where the top edge of the cabinet will hang. Pay attention to the cabinet’s width so you know which parts hang over the wall studs. The uppermost line is the most important measurement. This is the only one you need to draw unless you want to sketch the cabinet’s entire outline. Line up the top part of the cabinet with the line you sketched. Level the cabinet, using the line as a guide. Then, screw 2 1⁄2 in (6.4 cm) deck screws through the cabinet and its top and bottom mounting rails. These screws need to pass into the wall studs.  Leave about 3⁄4 in...

Go back to school. This isn't for everyone––there are plenty of people who shake at the knees at the thought of more exams and incurring yet more debt. However, if this is the pathway to getting you to the next stage in your life, it can be a great option. Does it need to be a certificate, diploma, associate degree/degree or a postgraduate qualification? Or, can you do a series of simple certified courses? Maybe volunteering and practical work will get you to where you wish to be. Look wide and far before settling on your course of studying/relearning. Keep yourself occupied with something else while searching for a job and learn new skills in the process. If you discover you really enjoy it, find out what you need to do to switch into this area and what sorts of opportunities exist within the organization you're volunteering for. Feeling like tossing the whole job thing in and turning entrepreneur instead? This is risky, hard work but for the right person with the right attitude and determination, it may be an ideal solution to permanently remove yourself from the job cycle. Become the person who creates jobs rather than the one chasing them. To get to this stage, consider the following:  Deeply analyze your suitability to run your own business. Have you got what it takes? There are tests you can do and good books you can read on the topic. What sort of business do you want to do? Research heavily here––ask such questions as: is it something people want?, is the field free or crowded already?, is it viable?, where can you get funds from?, and so forth. Read relevant business books to get ideas and to increase your understanding. Talk to existing business people you know. Ask for their ideas and recommendations. They might even be able to give you a chance to volunteer and see what it's like. This is about as unstable an income stream as you can possibly wish upon yourself but it comes with great freedom if you get the balance right. What are you really good at? What niche can you provide in an expert and...

Go back to the exact part of the game where you encountered it last time. You may need to try several times before seeing the glitch again; pinpointing exactly what causes it may take time to refine. Keep trying. Just because you don't get where you want to the first time, it doesn't mean you can't get there. Go and visit some of the areas of the game that are more likely to contain glitches, such as rocks and big scenery. Don't actively look for glitches but be alert for the possibility as you enjoy your game, noticing anything that doesn't fit in with the normal gameplay. Most glitches are random accidents that you stumble upon. They may be present while in regular single or multiplayer modes, depending on the game type.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Intenta nuevamente. Utiliza algunos de los lugares sugeridos en la sección anterior. Mantente alerta cuando juegues.


Go for a brisk walk or jog, do jumping jacks, run in place, or jump rope at the start of your workouts. Moderate aerobic exercise will increase blood flow to your muscles, which reduces your risk of injuring yourself. When you finish working out, cool down for 5 to 10 minutes to help your muscles recover. Instead of just trying to do 500 crunches, your workouts should consist of a variety of exercises. A good routine could be:  5 to 10-minute jog 3 sets of 12 repetitions each: standard crunches, overhead crunches, reverse crunches 3 sets of 12 repetitions per side: bicycle crunches 2 sets of 30 seconds: standard planks, extended planks 2 sets of 30 seconds per side: side planks As much as you want abs fast, pushing yourself too hard could result in an injury. Avoid exercising your abs or any other muscle group on back to back days.  Everyone's body is unique, but you might see results within a few weeks. Don't be hard on yourself if it takes longer. Try to focus on being as healthy as possible instead of pushing yourself and risking injury. Additionally, if you're just starting out, it's wise to take it slow. Try starting with 2 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise, then gradually work your way up to 3 sets of 12 reps. Avoid exercising or stretching if your muscles are sore. If you have a muscle strain, working out will make matters worse. In order to see the results of your hard work, you'll need to burn fat deposits that cover the abdominal muscles. For a good cardio workout, jog for 5 to 10 minutes, sprint for 10 minutes, then jog for another 5 to 10 minutes.  Jogging, sprinting, then jogging again is a form of interval training. This type of cardio exercise is a great way to burn fat.  In addition to running, you could swim laps, ride your bike, do jumping jacks, and jump rope.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Calienta y enfría por 5 a 10 minutos. Varía los abdominales y las planchas en tu rutina de ejercicios. Haz tu rutina de ejercicios para el abdomen 3 o 4 veces a la semana. Quema la grasa del vientre con ejercicios cardiovasculares.


Go for a run.  Alternate your regular jogging speed with explosive sprints.  For instance, you might sprint from one streetlight to the next, then return to your regular jogging speed, then sprint again at the next streetlight, and so on. Performing short sprints can train you to move faster.  Moving faster can help you develop speed when boxing. There are many ways you can jump rope.  A regular running-in-place jump style is the best way to start.  You could also do double unders -- that is, swinging the rope beneath both legs twice before you touch the ground.  To increase the speed even more, do some jump rope sprints by swinging the rope as fast as possible around your body.  Any jump rope activity mode can improve your speed and agility. Using a jump rope can improve speed when boxing because it triggers the shoulder’s fast-twitch muscle fibers. Sparring with a partner can help you improve reaction speed and lateral movement.  It also provides another opportunity to practice throwing fast, accurate punches.  A gym with a boxing ring is the best place to find a sparring partner.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Realiza carreras cortas. Salta la cuerda. Pelea con un compañero.


Go for a solid, striped, or graphic design with a loose fit that either hangs straight or tapers around your waistline. The loose crop top skims over your tummy while the shorts accentuate your waist for a casual but figure-flattering look. You can tailor the waistline of your shorts based on how much skin you want to show. A high-waisted pair with a loose, longer crop top could cover your whole torso, while a shorter top and lower-riding shorts could reveal a strip of skin. Long-sleeve crop top sweaters are a great choice for the chillier months of the year. This classic and figure-flattering pairing hardly needs any embellishment--except for a longer coat, if it’s really cold! Unbutton the sides of your overalls to expose some peek-a-boo skin on the sides of your torso, creating a look that’s retro, modest and fun. From the front, you won’t even be able to tell you’re wearing a crop top! Keep your look relaxed with casual shoes, like flat sandals or sneakers.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge una blusa corta sin mangas o con mangas cortas. Combina la blusa con unos pantalones cortos de talle alto para lograr un atuendo coqueto y playero. Utiliza un suéter con una blusa corta y unos pantalones vaqueros de talle alto para climas más fríos. Utiliza una blusa corta debajo de un overol para lograr un atuendo alegre. Utiliza sandalias o zapatillas informales para completar el atuendo.


Go for reddish browns, such as terracotta, or silvery browns, such as taupe. This is great for school and work. If you want to bring out the green a little more, try purple eyeliner or mascara. Pinks, purples, and reds will enhance your green eyes even more. You can try these shades for daytime or evening wear. Depending on the shade of your green eyes, you can use warmer, darker, or deeper pinks instead of lighter, cooler pinks. These will help bring out the green in your eyes. For purples, try: eggplant, lavender, lilac, plum, or violet. If you don't like to wear red, try a reddish brown instead. It will look more natural while still bringing out the green. . Green eyeshadow can help make green eyes sparkle, but it can also make them appear duller. The trick is to use a green that is a shade darker and a different tone than your eyes, and use it sparingly. They will help bring out the gold flecks in your eyes. They will also make your eyes appear brighter. Brown or green eyeshadow with gold shimmer are also great choices. This includes all shades of blue and blue-ish purples. Anything blue-tinted will make your eyes appear dull. This same rule goes for eyeliner and mascara. Reddish or pinkish purples are fine. This will bring out the redness even more and make you look tired.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa colores marrones neutros para el día. Prueba con los tonos rosados, púrpuras y rojos para resaltar el verde. Usa con cuidado la sombra de ojos verde. Prueba el bronce, el cobre o el dorado. Evita usar una sombra de ojos con matices azules. Evita los matices rojos y púrpuras si tienes algún enrojecimiento alrededor de los ojos.


Go into a kneeling position while keeping your back straight. Put the leg of your choice in front of you. Straighten the front leg as much as possible. Rest your back leg on its shin. Holding your breath as your stretch tightens your muscles, which makes it more difficult to perform the side splits. Breath deeply, but do not exaggerate your breathes. You want to make your breaths as natural as possible. Inhale when you are holding the stretch. Exhale when you lean into the stretch. If you lower yourself into the split too fast, then you can seriously injure yourself. Find a speed that works for you.. Always ease yourself slowly into the splits.  By going slowly, you avoid injuries. Not only will injuries prevent you from doing the stretch immediately, it can potentially prevent you from practicing for a long time. It’s more important to practice consistently than to attempt to do the splits fast Once you are warmed up and feel relaxed, start to lower yourself very carefully. Continue going down until you feel pain or discomfort. Once you feel any major discomfort, other than the minor pain that comes from stretching, stop.  As you lower yourself, keep your hands to your side so that you can support your body weight. If you feel pain after you are done with the side splits, then you forced yourself too hard into the stretch. Wait until the pain is completely gone before attempting the stretch again. Once your pelvis is on the floor, and your legs are at a 180-degree angle, you have achieved a side split. Do not bounce yourself into the side split as this could injure you. Once you have achieved the split, hold it for as long as you can. Start setting time limits. Try to hold it for 15 seconds, then 30 seconds. Try to work your way to a minute.  Remember to always do the splits comfortably. Do not hold the position if you feel any major discomfort.

Go on and get into the pattern, so you won't be as slouchy, Monday morning. If you didn't study now, you probably should, at this point. You're about halfway through your summer break and it's time to look towards school. You should have completed this by now. If not, finish it up.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Empieza a levantarte a la hora que debes hacerlo para ir a la escuela. Estudia. Termina tus lecturas de verano.


Go on dates with the person to determine who they are. When people become sexually intimate, endorphins are released in their brains which produces pleasure, and can create an emotional attachment. This could cloud your judgement on someone who isn’t objectively a good partner. Instead of being influenced by emotion, get to know the person you want to get romantic with.  When you go on dates with the person, talk to them and see if you feel happy around them. Consider what interests you share, how easily conversation flows, and how well you get along. A good indication of a person’s personality is the company that they keep. A person without good social supports like family or close friends may be more likely to experience a decline in physical and mental health.  Friends are not always an indication of exactly who the person is, but can give you insight into what the person likes in people, their moral code, and what they find acceptable in others. Friends can also influence people’s decision making, whether it’s being responsible or indulging in things. Some common red flags include being immature, irresponsible, unpredictable, or controlling. Not having a job or skipping school are two signs that you may not be able to rely on them for support. If you feel insecure about the relationship as a result of this, then spend some time evaluating the other person.  If the person is physically, emotionally, or verbally abusive, then leave the relationship immediately. If the person speaks about their exes obsessively, or in an aggressive way, this could be a sign that they aren't ready for a new relationship. Once you get more comfortable around a person’s friends, you can ask them questions about how that person was in previous relationships, or who they are according to their friend’s perspective.  If the person is good dating material, usually their friends will talk about the positive aspects of their personality. If their friends talk about problems, drama, fighting, or anger, you may want to steer clear of...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Procura conocerla mejor antes de llegar a la intimidad. Conoce a sus amigos más cercanos. Presta atención a las señales de advertencia. Conversa con sus amigos y pregúntales cómo se ha comportado en sus relaciones pasadas. Inicia conversaciones para conocer sus valores centrales. Evalúa si sientes enojo o incomodidad cuando estás con la persona en cuestión.


Go online and find out what hamsters eat, what they like to do, where to buy them, and other relevant information. Ask a friend who has a hamster if they have any advice or thoughts on getting a hamster. Go to your local pet store and ask an employee there for information on hamsters, including how much hamsters cost, how often you should feed a hamster, what they like to play with, and any other questions you have. Hamsters are illegal in Hawaii, so if you live in Hawaii you might want to look into other pet options!

Most hamsters are between 3 and 5 inches (7.6 and 12.7 cm) long, though Syrian hamsters are larger and grow to between 6 and 7 inches (15 and 18 cm) long. Roborovski and Chinese hamsters live longer and Campbells and Winter White hamsters are dwarf hamsters. With all of these options, make sure you find the type of hamster that’s right for you! Your parents will probably want to know how long hamsters live (2-3 years), whether or not they smell (they don’t!), what they eat (hamster food), and other practical things. Make a list of facts about hamsters, and have this information on hand so you can answer any questions your parents have. If you have another pet, your parents might be using that as an excuse to not get a hamster.

Go online to look for cheap used cars in your area. Figure out the maximum amount you're willing to pay for a car that you're essentially practicing on, and use that number to guide your search. Try to stick to cars that are relatively close to where you live, as you'll likely need to pay to have the car transported to your house. If possible, when purchasing a car some distance away, load the car onto a trailer and tow it yourself. If you aren't confident enough to do this; get somebody else to do it for you. Don't go for a car with tons of issues just because it's cheap. Instead, look for a car with problems you can realistically fix. If you're unsure about the seriousness of the problems, bring a friend who's got more knowledge about cars to look at the car with you. Go to an auto supply shop and ask an employee to point you in the direction of a good starter tool kit. If you want to make your purchase online, Google “starter car mechanic's kit” to find some options. Very basic tool sets might cost as little as $20 USD. However, a more comprehensive kit will probably run about $100 USD. The service manual is the complete repair how-to guide, not the small booklet that usually goes into the glove box. You can generally purchase these at car dealerships. You might also be able to find used copies on websites like eBay. This repair guide should provide you with specific instructions on fixing the exact make and model you've purchased. It's much easier to learn how to do things when you can watch each step unfold. You might not be able to find a video featuring the exact car you've purchased, but you'll surely be able to find tutorials on fixing the problems your broken-down car has. Watch the full video several times before starting to work on your car. You might also consider setting up a laptop in your garage or car repair shop so you can watch the video while you fix your car.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra un auto barato con algunos problemas menores. Compra un kit básico de mecánica automotriz. Encuentra un manual de servicio del automóvil en línea o en un concesionario. Utiliza los videos de YouTube para aprender a solucionar problemas específicos.


Go online, and search for “Police dating sites.” To make an account, enter your zip code, birthday, and email address. Browse different profiles, and send a message when you find officers that strike your interest.  Many sites offer the option to browse profiles for free, but you must have an account to connect with other officers. When you send a message you can say something like, “Hello there! I just found your profile, and I would love to get to know you better.” Some popular police officer dating sites include https://www.meetsinglepoliceofficers.com/, https://www.uniformdating.com/policeofficer.htm, https://www.policeflirt.com/, and http://policefriendsdate.com.

Go out of your way to touch her, look at her, and create sexual attention. Make her feel wanted! You may notice that you aren't doing these things because you're embarrassed, or insecure, or unsure of how she will react. If she is your girlfriend, and you've been intimate with each other, and you're attracted to her, then you don't need to hold back. Let your hormones take control from time to time, and show her that she is the object of your animal urges. Let your gaze rest on her when she's working on something, when she's in the other room, or when she just looks particularly beautiful. Do not worry about being weird! You're attracted to her, and she's attracted to you, and there's nothing wrong with owning that dynamic by staring at her. When she asks you what you're looking at, tell her how beautiful she looks. Only say it if you truly mean it! Do not hesitate to flirt with your girlfriend. She is your girlfriend because the two of you have entered into a verbal agreement – so there's a pretty good chance that she likes you and wants your attention. Many people find confidence sexy. Own it! Don't be afraid to get casually physical. Touch is one of the most powerful ways to build attraction and sexual tension.  However, it doesn't need to be overtly sexual. A light touch can be enough to signal that you're thinking about her, and it can go a long way toward reestablishing intimacy.  Put your arm around her when you're watching a movie, or hug her from behind while she's standing at the counter. Run your fingers through her hair. Touch her arm, gently, when you pass her in the hall. Don't be afraid to get more sexual if you're comfortable being intimate with one another. Grab her butt, or caress her thigh. If you're in a private place: walk up behind her, put your hands around her waist, and grind slowly into her body. Hold her hand! This is a great way to flirt, and it can also break the touch barrier if you're in a new relationship. You don't need to come up with a reason to hold her hand; if you feel...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Demuéstrale que te atrae. Usa los ojos. Confía en ti mismo. Tócala. Sonríele.


Go see a movie, or try a new restaurant. Go to a coffee shop and read. Just because you're a loner doesn't mean you have to miss out on the outside world. You don't have to talk to anyone, just find something fun to do and do it. Being a loner doesn't mean you can lock yourself in your room for the rest of your life. At some point you'll have to go out in public. If you want to be left alone in public, put on a pair of headphones and put on your favorite song. If you have to ride the bus to get to school or work, carry a book with you. If you have headphones on, and you're reading a book, most people will leave you alone. You may not enjoy it all the time, but studies show that everyone benefits from some form of social interaction. You can still be true to yourself and interact with people. Be polite and respond to someone who interacts with you on a regular basis. If you frequent a coffee shop in your neighborhood, get to know the barista. You don't have to exchange information, just make good conversation. If you end up having to go to a social event, such as a friend's party, you'll want to leave before everyone else. There is nothing wrong with wanting to get home and get comfortable. Make arrangements to leave before everyone else, and be sure to let a few close friends know.  Make sure you have access to a bus schedule if you don't have a car. Don't make a habit of lying to your friends about why you're leaving. Be honest with them about how you feel in social gatherings. Let them know that being social wears you out and that you're headed home to unwind.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca algunas cosas que puedas hacer solo. Usa unos auriculares. Procura hablar con la gente de vez en cuando. Asegúrate de saber cómo irte.


Go see a movie, watch or play a sport, see a concert or play, or another activity your date would enjoy. Try for an activity that you don’t get to do together often, or that your date has been wanting to do for awhile.  Check event locations for special Valentine’s Day parties, activities, or discounts to take advantage of. Choose activities perfect for two to create an intimate date. Go ice skating, skiing, or another fun activity that takes advantage of the last of winter if the weather is still cold and snowy in your area. If the weather is warmer, go out and do something in nature that you and your date love to do together, like hiking, camping, or just walking around town. Or try something special like sailing or a hot air balloon ride. Have your date right at home, where you can have privacy, intimacy, and plenty of fun for free or very little money.  Try building a blanket fort like you did when you were a kid, playing board games or video games, watching movies or binging on a new TV series. Cuddle up and enjoy each other’s company! If you planned an outdoor date that got ruined by weather, just go with the flow and bring it indoors if you can. Try an indoor picnic, for example, by laying out a blanket on the floor with some treats in a basket. Go for an element of surprise for any activity you have planned, even if it’s simply an evening at home. Set something up before your sweetheart comes home, or present a gift or activity to them in a creative, unexpected way.  Try a sweet scavenger hunt or romantic treasure hunt by leaving notes or clues for your date to find around the house or all over town.  Leave a simple love letter, or a romantic note written with chocolates, candles, or flowers, for your date to find. Get out of town and stay in a hotel, bed and breakfast, or go camping somewhere you’ve both never been or where you and your date love going.  You don’t have to make a big, expensive trip to a faraway place. You can even have a “staycation” where you stay someplace new within your own city!...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Planifica una salida especial. Acomódense en casa. Sorprende a tu pareja. Viajen a algún lugar nuevo o que les encante.


Go someplace where you are comfortable and won't be disturbed. Sudden interruptions are not usually welcome while fantasizing! Take deep, slow breaths and try to become aware of your body.  Close your eyes if it makes it easier for you to visualize. If you want, you can dim your lights and put on music to help you relax. Maybe this is something you've never thought about before. Try to think about times when you've felt excited. What were you doing? What about it excited you? Or, if you're having trouble, you can start with some common scenarios and let your mind wander.  Imagine different settings. Fantasize about being on a beach or in a cabin in front of a fire. Picture yourself in a posh hotel room or in an office or supermarket. There are no consequences in a fantasy, so you can imagine yourself anywhere.  Think about past experiences and expand on those. You can exaggerate them or make them more vivid, or replay them in your mind. Once you've figured out what makes you excited, you can picture yourself with that special someone. Let the scene run through your mind like a movie, except you are directing the action.  Try imagining a scenario in which you and this person are separated from everyone else. Maybe you are snowed in at a cabin, or you get locked in the copy room together at work. Fantasize about all the things you'd like to do with this person. Remember that you are in charge of this fantasy, and if you start to feel uncomfortable, you can change it or simply stop at any time. Feeling turned-on is not only about visual stimulation. While fantasizing about this person, think about his or her voice, how he or she might smell, how it would feel to touch him or her, or for him or her to touch you. Your fantasy may be richer if you imagine the sensory details of your surroundings as well. If you are imagining you are on the beach, how does the sand feel on your skin? Try to hear the waves crashing on the shore.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Encuentra un lugar tranquilo para relajarte. Date cuenta de lo que te excita. Agrega a la persona con la que deseas fantasear. Utiliza todos tus sentidos.


Go through all the phonemes, using listening activities. For instance, you could use the phoneme /f/ which is the "F" sound in the English language. Start by saying the sound several times while holding up a card with /f/ on it. Then, using flash cards, show the students words that begin with /f/ as you say them slowly, such as "fine," "fall," "fast," and "furry." You can also use words that make that sound with different letters, such as "phone." Walk around the room and point to different objects. If it has the /f/ sound, for instance, hold up the card and say the word. If it doesn't have the sound, don't hold up the card. Have the person number a paper 1 through 10 if they are able. Say a word out loud for each number. On the words that have an /f/ sound,  for instance, the student should mark an "f" by it.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Introduce los sonidos de manera individual. Diferencia entre cada sonido individual y otros. Refuerza cada sonido con una pequeña prueba.


Go through any physical photos and pull out your favorites of you and your friend. If most of your photos are online or on a computer, look through photos there. You can save these photos to a CD or flash drive and then print them out later at a print shop. Not all your photos have to be dead serious. It's important to remember funny times as well, so lighten up and include some goofy photos in your book. Scrapbooks often use things like ticket stubs, brochures, old car keys, and other memorabilia. Find tokens you've saved that remind you of your friend. These can be glued into your scrapbook. Examples include:  Ticket stubs from movies or shows you've seen together A brochure or menu from your favorite restaurant A class list from school The best scrapbooks tell a story on every page through images, text, and mementos. To get a sense of how to organize your scrapbook, write down your favorite memories of your friend. From there, decide how you can recreate these memories with the items you have.  Maybe you knew your friend since kindergarten. You could tell the story of the first day of kindergarten. Maybe this a scrapbook about trips you've taken together. Maybe you can find a specific story from each trip to tell. You can find decorative backgrounds online, which you can print out at a print shop on glossy, high quality paper. You can also browse a local craft shop and see their selection of decorative paper. If you see any designs that you think your friend would like, buy them for your scrapbook.  For example, maybe your high school colors were blue and yellow. Use blue and yellow decorative backgrounds for pages commemorating your high school years. Maybe you're commemorating a trip. Use a map of the location you traveled as the background. There are many types of supplies you can buy in craft stores that can be used to spruce up a scrapbook. Take a shop to a local craft store and browse the selection. Think about buying some of the following:  Page flags Stickers Stencils Buttons Doilies Rubber stamps...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca las mejores fotos de tu amigo y tú. Reúne recuerdos. Haz una lista de recuerdos. Imprime o compra fondos divertidos. Invierte en materiales decorativos de manualidades.


Go through everything that you've pulled out of your closets and drawers and sort them into four piles: keep, give away, sell and trash. Assess the items by asking yourself a few questions: Have you used it in the past year? Would you buy the item again? Am I only keeping it because I don't want to waste money? Am I keeping it for sentimental value?  Items that should not be kept are broken items and outdated items that have been collecting dust. If you haven't used the item in many many years, it is time to dispose of it unless it is for sentimental value. Keep the items you use frequently. Get rid of stained, torn and dusty unused items.   Don't keep items simply because you think you might use it again even though you haven't used it in years. (Don't be a hoarder.) Unused sentimental items can be stored away for safe keeping. Old t-shirts, pictures, books and stuffed animals that are purely for sentimental value can be stored away in a large storage chest. Separate them from your frequently used items so that they don't take up space. These would be the items that didn't pass the test when you asked yourself the “decluttering questions, “ and you're unable to sell them for some reason. Examples of unsellable items might be outdated items, items with blemishes or heavily used items. Once you've separated the wanted items from the “giveaways,” place them in a pile away from the keep and trash pile. Give them to friends, family or charities such as the Goodwill. Electronics, furniture and appliances that you simply do not need or want can be sold online. Simply take a picture of the item, and create a short listing on the website. You can make some extra money on the side selling your unwanted decluttered items, but the website you're using matters. Some websites are better than others for selling your goods.  Craigslist is best for selling furniture, appliances and electronics to local buyers in your area.  Sell old cell phones, laptops or unused supplies to an international crowd on Ebay, which allows...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Decide qué vas a conservar. Dona los artículos que ya no quieres. Vende los artículos en Craigslist o Ebay. Vende la ropa y los zapatos usados. Realiza una venta de garaje.

Go to Google.com, and search for "digitize slides." There are a number business that will be happy to do the work for you. If you have a lot of slides, the beauty of a professional slide digitizing house is that they can process them much quicker and generally better than you will be able to on your own.
