Incorporate relaxation into your daily routine to better manage the pressure you feel at work. Practice calming strategies like  deep breathing,  mindfulness meditation, or  progressive muscle relaxation. Perform self-massage, take a warm bath after a long day, or listen to soothing music. Techniques like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation can be applied anytime, even when you’re on the clock during the workday. Physical activity not only supports your health and wellness, but it can also be an effective antidote for stress. Get a gym membership and plan to go before or after work each day. However, you can also go for a run in your neighborhood or practice yoga on your living room floor. Support your mental health and ensure you’re fully charged by getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. You’ll wake up refreshed and able to beat the heavy traffic and arrive at work early.  If you’re lacking sleep and showing up to work groggy and irritable, anything that happens at work will feel overwhelming. Improving your sleep habits will make work more bearable. Improve your sleep by going to bed and rising at the same times each day. Shut off your tech devices at least an hour before bed to help you unwind. Try reading or listening to calming music instead. Pressure from work doesn’t just happen when you’re on the premises. If you let it, it can follow you home and interfere with your leisure time. Set firm hours when you don’t return work calls or emails and stick to them. For example, you might choose to answer work-related emails only when you are on the premises. You might tell your coworkers and supervisor that after 7pm, you can’t take calls because you’re with your family. Vacations can be a great way to switch up the status quo and allow you to decompress from work stress. Your “vacay” doesn’t necessarily have to be to some faraway destination, though. Even just a short weekend trip can refresh you and give you a new perspective. Get creative and plan an exciting trip to a nearby city, visit...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Tómate tu tiempo para relajarte después de un día de trabajo estresante. Haz ejercicio con regularidad para aliviar la tensión. Duerme Establece horarios fijos para desconectarte. Planea una escapada.


Incorporate suspenders into your overall outfit to make them into a fashion statement. Match them with same-colored shoes, pants, or a jacket, depending on your preference. When wearing your suspenders for work or a special occasion, keep them neatly tucked away beneath a suit jacket or vest. Pair them with a button-down shirt, suit jacket, suit pants, and dress loafers. Suspenders used to be thought of as underwear inappropriate for public display. While that’s not commonly believed today, the rule still applies in formal settings. Wear the suspenders over a dressy shirt, leaving the suit jacket off. Striped or seersucker suspenders are most common, but other colors and prints can be used. This look can be worn in public without making you seem overdressed. Pair the suspenders with linen suit pants or khaki pants and black or brown dress loafers. Put on colored suspenders with skinny straps to adopt a 1960s London style. Wear them with jeans and sneakers. This look has a punk or hipster appeal and can be worn every day in public.  Rugged, durable pants like jeans or corduroy trousers are better for this look since it is inspired by the working class. A tucked-in, button-down shirt is still the classic way to go, but make it a little slack by leaving the top buttons undone, rolling up the sleeves, or wearing flannel print or other colors. Keep your shoes fairly durable. Opt for sneakers or boots over loafers. Leather suspenders look unique and rustic. They match up well with tweed trousers, a button-down shirt, and old-fashioned accessories like a driving cap, a bowtie, or a trench coat.  Dark jeans are another option for this look. Stick with leather loafers or leather dress boots to complete the look.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Coordina el color de los tirantes con el resto de tu ropa. Mantenlos debajo del saco para mantenerte elegante en situaciones formales. Usa tirantes sobre una camiseta con cuello para crear un estilo semiprofesional. Adopta un toque punk con tirantes delgados. Usa cuero para darte un atractivo anticuado.


Incorporating gives you the benefit of limiting your personal liability and making your business easier to transfer to others. Limiting your personal assets will protect your home and other belongings from being seized as collateral. Depending on the type of company you've started and your long-term goals for it, incorporating might be right for you, or it may be superfluous. Being incorporated enables you to:  Legitimize the business. Limit your personal liability. Take your company public. Issue stock options to employees. Transfer ownership or shares among members of the corporation. Have your corporation outlive you. Raise investment capital. A board of directors (or BOD) is selected by a company’s shareholders. Often, a company’s initial founder or CEO will begin on the board and appoint more members after the business is established. The directors’ names and contact information should be designated on your incorporation paperwork, so it's important that you assign the roles before you file the papers. If you change the board throughout the life history of the company, this information is usually communicated to the state by filing a statement of information. Directors are legally obligated to act with the best interest of the company in mind, protect the investments of shareholders and appoint the company's officers, whom they may fire and hire as they see fit. The major stockholders in your company are generally called upon to elect the board and financially back the company in exchange for holdings in the company. In general, their return for this investment is a say in the election of the board. When you file for incorporation, the stockholders should be consulted and should agree to the incorporation decisions. The standard is usually to file as a C corporation if you have a sizable operation. An S corporation is more appropriate if you intend on having fewer than 100 shareholders.   C corporations are individually taxable, file a corporate tax return and pay taxes at the corporate level. Double...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Decide si tu empresa se beneficiará de la incorporación. Nombra a una junta directiva. Reúne a los accionistas. Decide entre crear una corporación C o S. Contrata a un abogado corporativo.


Incorporating tai chi into your workout routine is a great way to add in an activity that can help relax and calm you.  However, its advised to continue with other forms of exercise as well.  Tai chi is not considered an aerobic form of exercise.  You should still perform cardiovascular activities that increase your heart rate level more than a typical tai chi workout. Cardiovascular exercises come with a host of health benefits as well.  It helps improve mood, improve circulation, maintain a healthy weight and decrease your risk of stroke, heart disease, type two diabetes and high blood pressure.  Aim to include about 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio exercises each week in addition to your tai chi.  Try:  walking, jogging, swimming, dancing, using the elliptical or going hiking. Baseline or lifestyle activity is also important to focus on to help you maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.  Baseline activities are those activities you do on a regular basis as part of your daily routine.  Mopping the floors, walking to get the mail, or going up stairs to your office all count as baseline or lifestyle activity.  Many studies show that baseline activity offers similar benefits to structured aerobic exercises.  Try to maintain or increase the amount of lifestyle activity you typically do.  Try parking farther away, taking the stairs more often or getting up and walking on your lunch break. Including rest days is another important component of your exercise routine.  If you do not include enough rest days, you can experience some negative side effects.  Over training or just doing too much may end up causing some issues.  You can experience a weight loss plateau (if you're attempting weight loss), could make you feel fatigued or tired more often, and prevent proper recovery and repair of your muscles.  It's typically recommended to take about 1 or 2 rest days a week.  However, your rest days shouldn't be "lay on the couch" day either.  Try to be active on your rest days as well. Tai chi is a great...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Siempre incluye la actividad aeróbica. Mantén tu actividad de base. Practica tai chi en tus días de descanso. Planifica realizar un entrenamiento de fuerza.


Increase the water temperature slowly over a 48-hour period in small increments of 2 degrees F or 1 degree C every hour. This will give your goldfish time to adjust to the rising temperature and prevent shocking him.  The heat will prevent the ich from developing into many more parasites after it detaches from your fish. High temperatures will effectively neutralize the parasites and stop them from reproducing.  Do not combine two ich treatments, only do one ich treatment at a time. You will need to compensate for raising the water temperature by providing more oxygen in the water for your fish. Do this by:  Reducing the water level in the tank. Aiming power heads at the surface of the tank water. Placing extra air stones, or ornaments embedded with air stones, into the tank water. Some aquarium owners argue that raising the temperature of the water in increments is enough to detach and kill the ich. But a salt bath can help your fish develop his slime coat, which will prevent the ich from reattaching to him. The combination of salt and heat will attack any free-swimming ich in the tank until they are all killed off.  Only use aquarium salt that is made specifically for freshwater fish, not table salt or any other salt. You can purchase aquarium salt online or at your local pet store. Add one tablespoon or three teaspoons of aquarium salt for every five gallons (19 liters) of tank water. If you want to try using less aquarium salt, you can try one teaspoon per gallon of water instead. If you have other fish or invertebrates in the tank with the infected goldfish, ensure they are not sensitive to salt before adding salt to the water. Some fish cannot handle large doses of salt. Keep the temperature steady at 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) for 10 days. At the beginning of the treatment, when the ich symptoms are very visible on your fish, change 25 percent of the water every two days. This will ensure the water is well oxygenated and help to get rid of any excess parasites. Add the appropriate dose of aquarium...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Eleva la temperatura del agua del acuario a 30 grados Celsius (86 grados Fahrenheit). Mantén niveles altos de oxígeno en el agua. Añade sal al agua. Mantén la temperatura alta dentro del acuario y cambia el agua cada dos días. Baja la temperatura del agua hasta que alcance nuevamente los 18 grados Celsius (65 grados Fahrenheit).


Increasing your school’s “curb appeal” is one of the fastest and most inexpensive ways of improving it. Take a look around your school and see what kind of cosmetic changes you might be able to easily make. Picking weeds, pruning hedges, planting flowers, and picking trash up out of a field or parking lot are all ways of quickly making things look cleaner. A school garden that students and staff can work on is a great way to increase involvement and pride in your school. Talk to your school administrators about getting permission first.  A school garden can be whatever type people like—a flower garden, a vegetable garden or other plants that are beautiful. Work on the garden can be tied into educational activities. Science classes, for example, can learn about photosynthesis or the life cycle of plants by helping out with the garden. Making an inspiring painting part of your school is sure to improve it. Your school can start a discussion and vote on the design, which could be a school mascot, a historical figure, a local landmark, etc. Art classes at your school can even get involved with making the mural. If your school wants to commission an outside artist to paint your mural, make sure the design, budget, and timeline for completion are worked out beforehand. Some schools, particularly older ones, may have hazardous substances present, such as lead paint, lead pipes, or asbestos. Removing these substances can be expensive and complicated. However, if members of your school community are concerned about these substances, talk to administrators or the local school board about what can be done to improve the school.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Embellece tu escuela. Crea un jardín. Pinta un mural. Dirige una campaña para que hacer que las áreas de la escuela sean más saludables.


Increasingly, men are turning to jockstraps as an everyday form of underwear due to their comfort and attractiveness. Jockstraps are usually sized by waist. You will want to try several to make sure your genitals are also comfortable. Unlike in sports, you do not need to worry about how close they hold your genitals to your body. Pick a jockstrap that you find most comfortable. Fashion jockstraps don’t just come in the typical waist band, pouch and two straps style that typifies sports jockstraps. Some have thicker straps or multiple straps, while others have more material to help shape your buttocks. Like other kinds of underwear, fashion jockstraps come in a variety of materials: cotton, mesh, silk and even fur! Fashion jockstraps come in a variety of shapes, including snug, contour and natural. Some even come with plastic cups for “aesthetic enhancement.” 35% of men say they buy their underwear in order to show off the brand peeking out from the waist of their pants. Consider popular fashion brands like Jack Adams, Nasty Pig, N2N, Modus Vivendi, Pump! And Baskit.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa un suspensorio por moda como usarías la ropa interior regular. Asegúrate de que el suspensorio sea cómodo. Elige un estilo. Elige el material. Considera la forma de la bolsa. Elige la marca.


Independent game and card shops will buy and sell “used” Pokémon cards. This is the perfect way to peruse a library of cards and purchase just the individual cards that you want.  Particularly rare cards will be quite expensive due to their high demand. Trade in a few cards that you don’t want to offset the high price. Check back every week or so – players will always be trading in cards they no longer need. There are a variety of online shops that will sell individual cards – sometimes even fresh from the pack. If you don’t have a local shop and have the means to do so, find a reputable website and try building your collection.  Make sure you’re purchasing from a respectable company. If you are buying cards from an individual seller, such as through eBay, check their reviews and make sure you are purchasing exactly what you want. Online card shops may charge a premium for certain cards, particularly if they open new packs to acquire them. Think of it as a convenience fee, as not everyone is necessarily willing to sell off cards they don’t want. Yard sales are a great place to find loads of cards. It's not uncommon for someone to get rid of their entire collection this way, whether it's someone who lost interest in the game, or a parent getting rid of a child’s old things. Pawn shops are another great place to find a large number of cards. Some people sell their collection to a pawn shop just to get them out of the way. You can find some hidden gems this way, and usually for cheap!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra en tu tienda local de tarjetas. Compra en tiendas en línea. Busca tarjetas en las ventas de garaje.


Indian rice is great on its own, but it's even better when it's incorporated into a complimentary dish. One easy example is curry, a spicy stew-like dish that is usually associated with India. Serve it in its own bowl with the rice on the side or spoon it over the rice and let the rice soak up the juices — it's up to you. See our Indian curry recipe for a dish that pairs perfectly with Indian rice. Another great use for Indian rice is as a starchy side to protein-rich dishes (like meat and dairy) or vegetables. Try laying the main dish over a generous bed of rice so you get a little of each in every bite.  A delicious, nutritious Indian favorite you may want to try this with is tandoori chicken. A good vegetarian option which uses greens and cheese is Saag Paneer. This is an especially great choice if you're eating the rice by itself. The nuts and raisins give the rice flavor and texture it wouldn't have otherwise. Making nut-and-raisin rice is easy — just add about 1/2 to 3/4 cups of each when you start cooking the rice in liquid and stir. Continue cooking the rice as normal. Halved cashews and chopped almond slivers are especially good choices, though other nuts like peanuts can also work well. Biryani is a South Asian delicacy that can take a long time to prepare, but is always a treat. While there are many different ways to make biryani, almost all of them use the long-grain basmati rice called for in the recipes above along with meat or vegetables. Even ingredients like hard-boiled eggs are sometimes used. See our chicken biryani recipe for just one recipe to get you started — there are many more.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sírvelo como un acompañamiento para el curry. Usa el arroz como una "cama" para las entradas de carne o vegetales. Incorpora nueces y pasas tostadas. Incorpora carne o vegetales para preparar biryani.


Individuals can register to vote at their local election office or county clerk office. They can search online for the closest office near them and plan to go to the office when it is open. If you really want to encourage voters to register, you may plan a visit to the local election office with a group of people. That way, they can all be registered to vote in person at once. They can get the registration form in person at the office. They can also download the voter registration form on the official government website for their country or area. In the form, they will need to provide their name, address, email address, and information from their driver’s license or government issued ID card. They will also need to confirm they are a citizen of the country. Individuals can also use a passport, a Social Security card, a birth certificate, or a lease contract to confirm their identity when they fill out the registration form. Once they have completed the forms, they can hand them into a representative at the local elections office. The forms will then be processed so they can register to vote.  There is no fee to process the forms and register individuals to vote. It can take several weeks for the forms to process. If they would prefer to mail in the forms, they can send them to their local election office or county clerk office. Have them look up the mailing address of the local election office or county clerk office online.  Make sure the forms are post marked before the voter registration deadline in their area. Registration forms will take several weeks to process once they are received.

Individuals of any age can develop septic arthritis. However, some people may be more susceptible to this condition. Children, older adults, and illegal drug users are more likely to have septic arthritis. Other risk factors include:  Having existing joint problems such as gout or lupus. Taking medication for rheumatoid arthritis. Having fragile skin that breaks easily. Having a weakened immune system. Having joint trauma such as animal bites or puncture wounds. Having recent surgery.  Taking immunosuppressants. Septic arthritis generally comes on quickly. Symptoms are usually in one joint, though in rare cases may affect two or more areas. One of the most common symptoms of septic arthritis is swelling around the affected joint. This is caused by a buildup of infected fluid around your joint. Watching for swelling in one joint can help you diagnose septic arthritis. Pay attention to any warmth and redness that accompanies the swelling. This can also indicate septic arthritis. The swelling caused by septic arthritis infection can also bring on mild to severe pain. It can also lead to an inability to fully move your joint.  Watching for any pain and immobility in the joint can help you diagnose septic arthritis and seek prompt treatment.  Recognize that your pain may get worse when you move the affected joint. Avoid forcing a painful joint to move. Septic arthritis may also lead to an inability to move the joint.  Listen for crying or whimpering in infants and small children when the joint is moved. This is a sign of pain and may indicate that the child is suffering from septic arthritis. Infections, including septic arthritis, are often accompanied by a fever. This is a sign that something out of the ordinary is happening in the body. Taking the temperature can indicate a fever which may be the result of septic arthritis.  Recognize that chills, muscle aches, sweating, and headache are common symptoms of a fever. These may also accompany a fever with septic arthritis. Seek immediate medical attention if your...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Individuals who enter a contract must be legal adults and of sound mental capacity; minors and certain individuals with mental illness do not have the capacity to enter a contract. A contract entered into by someone without the legal mental capacity is void.  Individuals who are intoxicated or otherwise impaired also lack the mental capacity to enter into a contract. Contracts are void if one party was coerced or forced into entering the contract.  To the extent that you can, you should investigate the circumstances that surrounded the contract formation and see if any party exerted pressure on the other party.  Duress can often occur when one party partially performs on a contract and then suddenly refuses to complete its obligations unless the other party pays substantially higher prices.  A contract will also be voided if one party exerted “undue influence” on another. Here, the influence stems from a special relationship between the parties. For example, if an elderly person makes a contract with his caretaker, then an opportunity arises for the caretaker to exert undue influence because the elderly person is totally reliant on his caretaker. A contract will be considered “unconscionable” where there is a gross disparity in bargaining power between the parties and the terms of the contract are oppressive.  For example, one-side terms that establish excessive prices or high penalties may qualify as unconscionable. It isn’t enough for the parties to have unequal bargaining power. The terms must also be grossly unfair. They should “shock the conscience.”

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que las partes tenían capacidad jurídica y mental. Confirma que no se forzó a ninguna de las partes ni firmaron bajo coacción. Observa el poder relativo de negociación entre las partes.


Individuals with a recent diagnosis of Celiac or extensive damage to the intestinal villi may benefit from targeted or general vitamin supplementation.  If a specific deficiency has been identified, individual pills can be taken under the supervision of a health professional; in other cases, a general multivitamin may be all that is necessary until the villi heal and the deficiencies are corrected. If the villi are extensively damaged, a vitamin injection may be required to correct particular deficiencies. Both gluten intolerant individuals and those with Celiac disease need to begin a dietary regimen that strictly avoids gluten and cross-contaminated food products.  Dietitians can help newly-diagnosed individuals with gluten intolerance or Celiac disease plan a healthy and balanced diet that is free of gluten. Gluten intolerant individuals may not experience adverse reactions to products not explicitly containing gluten. Cross-contaminated grains and food products with only minimal amounts of gluten may not aggravate symptoms in the gluten intolerant, but should still be avoided by those with Celiac disease. Some individuals with Celiac disease also have negative reactions to the topical application of products that contain gluten, such as shampoos, lotion, and make-up. If an individual diagnosed with Celiac disease does not experience a full remission of symptoms after careful dietary avoidance of gluten, avoidance of beauty products and hygiene products with gluten may resolve remaining signs of illness. Individuals with Celiac disease often experience symptoms caused by intestinal inflammation that may mimic full-body allergic reactions and cause skin rashes, swelling, and gastrointestinal distress. In severe cases of Celiac disease, anti-inflammatory steroids may be prescribed to reduce symptoms of the condition until a gluten-free diet enables the body to heal.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Toma suplementos vitamínicos si es necesario. Cambia la dieta para evitar el gluten. Determina si los esteroides son necesarios.


Individuals with lower self-esteem may be more likely to be sensitive and reactive when left out or socially rejected. Increasing your acceptance of yourself can help to increase your self-esteem, and reduce your negative reactions to being left out.  Self-acceptance can be attained by looking at your strengths and your weaknesses and accepting all of these factors as they currently exist, without necessarily trying to change them immediately. You can start by saying to yourself, “I accept who I am. I was left out, but that is okay. I accept that this happened and I can deal with it.” Focusing on the positives may help you cope with feelings of inadequacy or rejection. For example, you may be skilled in an area that helped you identify you were being left out. People who pick up on non-verbal cues are more aware of being left-out because they are advanced at reading the nonverbal communication that suggest they are being left out. These individuals are better at telling whether someone is faking a smile, or displaying genuine happiness. Additionally, some people argue that individuals who are left out may become more creative due to feeling different or unique. Think about and list the possible positive components of being left out. Some examples might include that you get to focus on yourself, and it may help you to identify which friends are worth keeping versus people who may not be trustworthy or fair. Being or feeling left out can often result in negative thoughts about yourself such as, “Nobody likes me,” or, “I’m not good enough.” These types of thoughts can lead to negative emotions such as shame and humiliation.  In order to reduce the likelihood of experiencing negative emotions, you can train yourself to think more realistically by catching yourself when you think negative thoughts.  Identify the negative thoughts that come up when you are left out, and purposefully change the thought to a more realistic perspective. For example, if you think, “Nobody likes me,” this is an example of a negative...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Acepta a tu persona y la situación. Ten en cuenta los aspectos positivos de haber sido excluido. Modifica tus pensamientos negativos sobre tu persona. Desarrolla tus defensas. Centra tu atención. Sigue con tu vida.


Individuals, especially extroverts (social butterflies who get their energy from being around people), may sometimes rely on others to help them feel happy or content. However, in order to be happy when we are alone we first need to become less dependent on others to make us happy, and more self-reliant. If you are an extrovert, you may benefit from doing things alone so that you can practice developing social energy with strangers instead of close friends. Fortunately, you can continue to be extroverted and social even when alone.  Focus on developing your confidence by practicing and engaging in activities associated with being alone and delving into uncharted territory. For example, if you always wanted to learn how to play an instrument you could start now. There are many tutorials online that you could use to start the learning process. Try doing activities on your own on purpose. Before asking for help or wanting someone to come along, try it on your own. For example, if you usually like your partner to accompany you to the grocery store, try going alone. Keep in mind that this will be uncomfortable at first and it may take a while for it to feel comfortable, but it will get better over time. Understand the things that you enjoy and try completing them alone. Try doing things that you have never done before in order to build up your interests. If you are an extrovert you may have difficulty with this because you desire to be around people, especially when engaging in your interests. However, the more you practice engaging in your interests alone, the easier it will be.  Keep busy. There are so many options for activities to explore including: art, dancing, writing, reading, playing an instrument, hiking, camping, taking care of a pet, traveling, and cooking. Use a planner to keep track of what you have going on for the week and schedule something in if there is too much empty time. Attempt activities while alone that make you feel social. The extrovert may like to engage in activities that resemble...

Desarrolla tu independencia. Explora tus intereses. Prueba nuevos pasatiempos. Desarrolla tu tolerancia a estar solo. Disfruta de hacer las cosas "a tu manera". Cálmate. Apréciate a ti mismo.


Inevitably, things will come up in your life that are largely or entirely out of your control. This is just part of life. While you cannot change certain circumstances, you can change your attitude towards them. Trying to control the things you can't can often backfire and make you more stressed out. Every time you think of something that you cannot control, write it on a piece of paper. Place it in a box and move on. Letting go of stressful situations or people will allow you to work on the things you can control. Think about how you will make today better, instead of always working toward a future goal. If you live too far ahead in the future all the time, you are missing out on life. Life only happens in the present moment. While this isn't a recommendation to live every day like it is your last, because every day is not actually your last, it is a good idea to spend some time each day enjoying the present moment. To live more in the present, you can:  Do only one task at a time; avoid multitasking. Put some space in between your day to day tasks to give you some time to reflect and not feel too rushed. Set aside 5-10 minutes each day to do absolutely nothing at all but sit in silence. Eat slowly and focus on the flavor and texture of your food. Get an activity guide for your city, ask some friends, or dig around online for fun things to do near you. Take a risk and try some new activities. Go by yourself or ask a friend or your significant other. What matters most is that you are trying something novel and being open-minded about it. Trying something new can have a number of benefits, such as:  Giving you courage by facing the unknown. Fighting off boredom. Allowing you to grow via new experiences. Take a class online or in person or watch some free lectures online. A lifelong learning center can provide an inexpensive opportunity to learn photography, social media or another skill you've been wanting to master. You can try these websites to search for classes or lectures that interest you: ...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Practica dejar ir las cosas que no puedes controlar. Vive en el presente. Haz algo nuevo cada semana. Aprende algo nuevo.


Inferiority complexes are rooted in the desire to be just like someone else. They make you want to be someone you're not. If you try to be someone else, you aren't being true to yourself. This doesn't include limiting yourself and trying new things. Just don't try to be someone else. Be you. You can get inspired by people. That means you look up to them and take some of their traits and put them into yourself. But the important difference is you are still you. You aren't trying to copy someone else or be someone else. You are using them as a positive guide while still being true to yourself. Inferiority complexes arise from our constant concern about what others think about us. We oftentimes find problems with ourselves based on if others find us good enough. This isn't healthy thinking. Stop worrying so much about what others think about you. Only your opinion matters.  Sometimes these judgments are real, but many times they are imaginary. Focus on making yourself happy without worrying about what others think. And try not to make up people's judgments. Remind yourself that you have no way of knowing what someone is really thinking or what is really happening in their life. Even if you think someone has it all, they may have the same insecurities as you do. Focus on your strengths and successes, not on what others might think of you. When you feel inferior, you put more emphasis on what you don't have instead of what you do have. Everyone has positive qualities. Take an honest look at yourself and your life. Make a list of good things. It could be something like, "I have a good job with lots of room to grow" or "I have nice teeth." When you're done, think about how many good things you have going for you. It might not make you better than someone else, but you don't have to be better. You just have to be happy being you and be thankful for what you have. Include things from all facets of your life. Maybe you think you're overweight, but you have nice legs, nice feet, or nice hands. Maybe you have a great...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Deja de desear ser como otros. Trata de no preocuparte por lo que piensen los demás. Concéntrate en tus atributos positivos. Deja de compararte con los demás. No pienses en términos absolutos. Evita los diálogos negativos. Desarrolla seguridad en ti mismo.


Inferiority complexes can result in you becoming withdrawn, anti-social, and shy. People with these complexes sometimes fear exposing themselves and opening up. You need to push yourself to interact with people. These feelings of inferiority are in your mind. The more you socialize with other people, the more you'll understand that people aren't judging you, making fun of you, or putting you down. You can learn to be comfortable and confident around people. The people we associate with can have a significant impact on our self-esteem. If you spend your time with negative people who are constantly criticizing, analyzing, and judging others, it will start to affect you. Instead, spend your time with people who are positive. Look for people who accept and like people without judgment. Surrounding yourself with people who don't judge you can help you accept yourself. Although your confidence should come from yourself, it is helpful to be friends with people who accept you. This helps break down the false notion that everyone judges and criticizes you. One way to beat the feelings of inferiority is to continuously improve yourself. This can include anything. Work on developing work-related skills, try a new hobby, work on improving a current hobby, set an exercise goal, or start saving for that dream vacation. Work on making your life better and worthwhile. This will help lessen your feelings of inferiority, because it's hard to feel inferior when you're accomplishing your goals. One way to help you get a reality check is to get out and help other people and your community. Whether you are helping at a soup kitchen or an animal hospital, this can help you see the reality of your situation. You don't have it as bad as you think you do. Volunteering can help give you a sense of accomplishment and pride. This can help you feel less inferior because you are giving back to your community. It also helps you stop feeling low and feeling like a burden. Do you think people will stare at you or make comments? These are all...

TL;DR in Spanish:

No limites tus interacciones sociales. Rodéate de gente positiva. Sigue trabajando contigo mismo. Haz trabajo voluntario. Confronta tus peores miedos.

Inform yourself about the Health Information Act, or other privacy protection regulations that apply in your area. Speak to a lawyer who has experience working with healthcare professionals for assistance in this area. Privacy and confidentiality are key to medical practice. Again, this can be done with the help of a lawyer who is experienced in healthcare and medical practice. You will want everyone on your team to be familiar with the privacy requirements, including release-of-information standards and patient consent processes for various procedures. Although medical offices used to be run with paper files, the new way of doing things is via computer-based EMR. This ensures more rapid access to patient files, more comprehensive data that can be searched rapidly on the computer, and easy access of the patient's files at other places (such as the hospital) if needed. In short, EMR is a much more efficient and effective way to store patient information.

Ingrown hairs may sometimes cause skin to look darker. Vitamin C is essential for normal wound healing and it also has mild bleaching properties, so applying lemon juice may help to improve the look of your ingrown hair scars. To use lemon juice, soak a cotton ball or Q-tip in lemon juice and apply the juice to the scar. Let the lemon juice dry on the scar and then rinse the scar with some warm water.  Repeat this process once per day. Ingrown hairs can tighten up skin tissue due to the inflammation that they cause. You can massage aloe vera gel into your ingrown hair scars to help soften the tissue. Aloe vera has been shown to help with burn scars, but it may also be helpful for scars caused by ingrown hairs. Aloe vera reduces inflammation, especially in the early stages of scar formation. Aloe vera may also help to increase the elasticity of new tissue. To use aloe vera, use your fingers to apply a thin layer of fresh aloe or pure aloe vera gel to a scar. Leave the gel on the scar and allow it to dry. Green tea may also help to get rid of ingrown hair scars when applied to your skin. Green tea has antioxidant properties, which may promote healing of tissues and reduce the appearance of scars.  To use a green tea bag, steep a bag of organic green tea in hot water for about three minutes.  Then, remove the tea bag from the water and gently squeeze out the excess water. Place the tea bag directly on the ingrown hair scar and hold it there. You can repeat this process three to four times per day for 10 – 15 minutes. As an alternative, you can also soak a cotton towel in green tea and use it as a compress. Squeeze out the excess tea and place it over ingrown hair scars for 10 – 15 minutes, three to four times per day. Lavender essential oil may also help ingrown hair scars heal. Lavender oil seems to have anti-inflammatory properties that may promote scar healing. To use lavender oil, place two to three drops of lavender oil in two tablespoons of castor oil and massage the oil into your ingrown hair scars. ...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aplícate zumo de limón para aclarar las cicatrices más oscuras. Usa gel de aloe vera. Sostén una bolsita de té verde en las cicatrices. Usa aceite esencial de lavanda. Considera usar aceite de la hierba de San Juan.


Ingrown hairs occur more frequently when you have dirty or oily skin, especially on your face. Wash your face every day with a mild cleanser to help prevent your pores from clogging and creating more ingrown facial hairs. Exfoliating will help clean away the dead skin cells that often end up clogging your pores and lead to more ingrown hairs. Depending on your skin type, you should be able to exfoliate your face up to three times per week.  Rub an exfoliating sponge or loofah in tiny circular motions on your face using exfoliating cleanser, avoiding the sensitive skin below your eyes. Rinse your face with warm water and apply facial moisturizer that contains alpha- or beta- hydroxy acids to aid in the exfoliation process. You can make your own natural exfoliating cleanser by mixing 1 tsp (5ml) of baking soda with 1 tbsp (15ml) of liquid soap. This will help keep your skin smooth and encourage hair growth in the right direction. The smoother your skin is, the less likely it will be for you to get ingrown hairs. Apply moisturizers labeled as non-comedogenic to minimize clogging your skin pores.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lávate la cara todos los días. Exfóliate la cara regularmente. Hidrátate la cara diariamente.


Ingrown toenails should be treated at home as soon as they are recognized (before infection sets in), in order to prevent complications and the need for medical treatment. One of the easiest methods is to soak the affected foot in warm water for between 15–20 minutes, three to four times daily. Soaking can reduce swelling and relieve tenderness.  Consider adding some Epsom salt to your foot bath. It can help disinfect your ingrown toe and help soothe the pain and inflammation. If your ingrown toe is still inflamed after the foot bath, apply an ice cube to it for about five minutes. The ice will numb the pain and combat the inflammation. Apply antibiotic cream, lotion or ointment to your ingrown toe at least a couple of times per day, particularly just before you go to bed in the evening. After the cream has absorbed into the soft tissue surrounding the toenail, apply a bandage. Make sure to change the bandage each time you apply the antibiotic ointment. If your ingrown toenail is particularly inflamed and/or painful, then consider taking some OTC medication for a few days. Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) are likely best if you notice lots of swelling. Painkillers (also called analgesics) are likely better for pain without much swelling. The most common OTC painkiller is acetaminophen (Tylenol, Paracetamol).  Anti-inflammatories and analgesics should always be considered short-term strategies for pain control. Taking too many of them at a time or taking them for too long increases your risk of stomach, kidney and liver problems or even organ failure if taken in large quantities.  If you have chronic kidney disease, heart failure, high blood pressure or stroke, or if you are taking anticoagulants, do not take ibuprofen or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. You can also try rubbing a cream/lotion/ointment that contains a natural pain reliever into your sore toe. Menthol, camphor, arnica and capsaicin are all helpful for relieving tenderness. After soaking your...

Inhale and scoop your abdominals inwards, while pressing your hands into the mat. Think about pressing your navel to your spine. Use your muscles to scoop your abdominals inwards, rather than “sucking in.” Do not attempt this exercise alone if you have limited Pilates experience. Slowly lift your hips, placing your legs above your head, parallel to your body and the floor. Point your toes out towards the top of the mat. Do not let your legs touch your face. Inhale and lift your legs. Keep your legs together, and move your legs to the right side of your body. You should only take your legs slightly to the right, not too far to the ground. Always remember to breathe steadily while performing this exercise. Exhale and allow your legs to come back down. Bring them down until they reach a 45 degree angle with the mat. Keep your thighs and knees pressed together as you bring your legs down.  Bring your legs down slowly, using your muscles. Do not let them drop. Inhale deeply once again. Lift your legs slowly, using your muscles. Bring your legs parallel to the floor, and to the left side of your head this time. Exhale and bring your legs back down to the 45 degree angle with the floor, and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Contrae los abdominales. Eleva las caderas. Lleva las piernas a un lado. Baja las piernas. Repite el movimiento.


Initially, because of your own sunny attitude, you might not be alert to the pessimistic bent of another person. It is helpful to understand these patterns in order to be able to detect them in yourself. Signs of negative thinking include:  Thinking that things aren't going to work out well. This is also known as catastrophizing, or thinking the worst will happen. Believing that the negative outcomes are permanent and inescapable. May blame self or others for things not turning out well. A possible reason for the existence of pessimistic thinking is depression. If this is the case, the pessimist may need psychological or medical treatment.  See How to cope with depression for an explanation of the symptoms. If you are concerned that your friend or family member has a mental health issue you can express your worry to her and offer treatment as an option. Simply say, "I noticed you seem sad (or angry, or negative) lately, have you ever considered talking to a professional about it? I think this might help." Be careful not to be pushy or you may scare her off. The more you know, the less personal it might feel when pessimistic thinking is around you. With education comes understanding and an increased ability to cope. One option is to read the book, Learned Optimism, by Martin Seligman. Dr. Seligman is a psychologist and expert in the field of positive psychology. He offers ways to identify if you are more optimistic or pessimistic, as well as ways to cope. This can be a useful resource both for the pessimist and optimist, and teaches tools to learn how to be more optimistic.

Conoce las señales del pesimismo. Comprende los posibles problemas subyacentes. Continúa educándote sobre el pesimismo.


Initially, eat vegetarian as much as possible without giving up meat entirely. Learn to enjoy vegetarian food before you quit meat cold turkey . Start to eliminate different types of meat gradually, having "one last meal" with the relevant ingredient and resolving not to eat it again. Try this schedule for gradual meat reduction:  Eliminate chicken and fish first. Cut out pork, such as bacon and ham, after a week. Stop eating red meat, such as beef, after another week. Cut out shell-fish, such as crab and shrimp, after another two weeks. In the early days of going vegetarian, you're bound to eat meat once or twice. Just remind yourself why you decided to go vegetarian in the first place and carry on as before. Relapses are normal, and you will get better at being vegetarian as you practice.  For many people, it only takes a couple of weeks of eliminating meat to stop having cravings. It might be better if you eliminate all meat from your diet at once, and keep it out for a couple of weeks. Before long, your cravings will be eliminated and you won't want it anymore. If you find yourself eating meat at times or "cheating", try being vegetarian 6 days a week, or whatever number of days works for you. Gradually increase the amount of days until you can finally let go of eating meat. Remember, eating meat or fish in any amount means that you are not vegetarian but semi-vegetarian instead. Continuing to eat fish qualifies you as a "pescatarian" at best. You become a vegetarian when you no longer consume animal flesh. If you aren't getting enough food, you might start craving meat. There is protein in almost all kinds of food, so you can rest assured that you'll almost definitely get enough protein, as long as you eat 1200 calories or more a day. If you are trying to gain weight it is important to eat a wide variety of legumes, nuts, and seeds into your diet to make sure you get enough calories and healthy fats.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz un cambio gradual. Asume que tendrás algunas recaídas. Asegúrate de comer suficientes alimentos.


Initially, it might be enough to ask the person to stop bothering you. If they keep it up, leave a public comment letting them know you’re not okay with their behavior. Publicly calling them out and knowing that other people can read your comments might shame them into stopping.  For example, if you write a comment on an article and somebody attacks your views, write a private message or comment, “That was really rude. It sounds like we have differing opinions but please don’t insult me.” If a private message doesn’t work, reply publicly. For example, you might reply to their comment with, “This comment is really rude and inappropriate. There’s no need to use personal attacks. Please stop.” You might feel safe responding from the relative "safety" of your computer, but firing back insults will only increase the problem and could result in more conflict and even real-life confrontation. Ignore their attempts to upset you into responding, even if they egg you on.  If someone attacks you or says mean things about you (whether you know them or not), don't respond with another insult. Take some time to cool down with some deep breaths and let it go. If you must comment back, say something like, “We differ in opinion and I don’t think we’ll change each other’s minds. Let’s end the discussion there” or “Please don’t insult me.” Often, bullies want a rise or a response from someone. Don’t give the bully the satisfaction of knowing you or someone else is affected by their comments. Ignore the comments and don't let them get to you. You might be angry or upset when you first see a comment that’s about you or someone you know. Take a moment and don't respond right away. Calm down so that you don’t let the person (or the comment) get to you.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escribe un comentario o mensaje pidiéndole que se detenga. No respondas con más acoso o insultos. No respondas a los comentarios crueles.


Injuries to the feet, toes, ankles, head, or spine can cause numbness to occur. An orthopedist, neurologist, or chiropractor may be able to treat your injury to relieve numbness. Chemotherapy drugs often cause numbness in the extremities, as do many other prescription drugs for a wide variety of conditions.

Inner spring is the most common mattress type, and almost every mattress store will carry this model. Chances are you have either seen or slept on this type of mattress before. The inner spring mattress is usually distinguished by coil count. Generally, the higher the coil count, the higher the price. However, these types of mattresses are available in all price ranges. Foam mattresses are made of memory foam, which is soft and conforms to the body. It is good for people who desire extra softness. This type is often more expensive than the inner spring type of mattress because it conforms to people's bodies. This can be good for some people and a negative for others. For example, people with pressure points and joint problems may prefer a foam mattress.   Some people find that this type of mattress makes them uncomfortably warm.  Maybe your current mattress is quite soft, and you want to find a bed with adequate firmness. If this is your situation, then you may want to avoid memory foam and stick to an inner-spring type of mattress. Air mattresses can be adjusted by the user for an appropriate amount of softness.  This is done with an electric pump. Sleep Number beds are the most well known type of air mattress. These beds are separated into 2 areas, which can be controlled by remotes. The air pockets above the coils can be firm or soft. Often times, mattresses like this will have a foam covering as well.  If you disagree about the type of mattress you and your partner want, you should consider an air mattress. There are characteristics in mattresses that you may specifically want or need. For instance, you might want to make sure you are buying an “eco-friendly” mattress. In that case, research potential mattresses to see if they were built to either OE Standards or the Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS). If you have pain or simply feel uncomfortable, you may want a bed with adjustable positioning. This type of bed will allow you to rest at an incline. If you have specific health concerns you might want...

Insecurity can sometimes cause feelings of anxiety and a related physiological response such as increased heart rate, increased breathing, and sweating. it is important to have ways to help reduce these responses. It’s especially important because these sensations can be uncomfortable and may actually make you feel more stressed. Controlling your breathing can trigger a calming response, signaling your body to begin to relax and slow breathing and heart rate.  Take a full breath to a count of ten and ensure that you breath expands your abdomen. Hold it for five seconds and then exhale for five seconds. Be sure to take two normal breaths in between your deep diaphragm breathing. Mindfulness is a great tool to use when you are especially self-aware and feeling insecure. You might be noticing thoughts that you don’t look good enough, or aren’t smart enough, or don’t know what to say. In these situations, mindfulness can help you bring your mind away from these worries and criticisms, and help you focus on the present moment. Critical thoughts and worries about what others are thinking of you can produce negative emotions such as sadness or embarrassment, or nervousness.  During nervousness or anxiety, the amount of adrenaline in the bloodstream increases, which increases your heart rate and blood pressure.  This type of physical reaction may make you even more aware of how nervous you are, which may make you feel even more insecure. To help calm your nerves, worries, and critical thoughts, practice focusing on the present moment, while letting go of worries and criticisms. Letting go of your worries is not pushing them away with force, but it is actually letting your thoughts flow through your mind while noticing them without judgment. Let your worries float in and then out just as easily. Practice tuning into your senses and ask yourself what you hear, smell, or sense in your surroundings. Continue to practice being fully in the moment until you begin to relax. Research has shown that with time, practicing...

Insecurity results when we focus on our negative attributes or past mistakes and forget about all the good we have to offer. It can be difficult to overcome insecurities and gain confidence, but doing so can help you reach out to others in kindness and make them smile. There are many ways to build self-confidence, but most of them start with paying attention to your positive qualities and not your negative qualities. Confidence gives you the ability to walk up to a stranger and ask if they need help, or to stand up for someone being bullied. Smiling has a host of benefits for the person smiling, and has also been shown to be socially contagious!  Smiling is a universal language; people in every culture smile to signal happiness or joy. According to one study, when you smile at a stranger, there is a 50% chance they will smile back.  Smiling even when you are sad can lower your own stress rate and help boost your mood, which will make you a pleasure to be around. If you tend to be pessimistic or if you commonly complain, whine, or compare yourself to others, you can take steps to improve your outlook on life. A positive outlook can reduce your stress level and improve your own level of happiness, which makes it more likely that you can help others to be happy.  Practice positive self-talk. Self-talk is the stream of thoughts that runs through your head throughout the day, particularly the things you think about yourself, your abilities, your appearance, and what you assume others think about you. Monitor your self-talk, and follow this rule: don't say anything to yourself that you wouldn't say to someone you love.   Practice mindfulness. Mindfulness involves not worrying about the past or future but instead focusing on the experiences in the here-and-now. It is a form of meditation that can help you improve your outlook. Mindfulness can also help you learn to empathize with others, making you a great friend.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Insert a piece of floral foam, Styrofoam ball, or a head of lettuce into the container—all of the skewers will be stuck into this item. Use toothpicks to attach decorative tissue paper or dark leafy greens to the surface of the floral foam, Styrofoam ball, or head of lettuce.  If you use floral foam, you can place parsley on top of the floral foam to fill in any gaps that can be seen between the skewers. Do not let the florist's foam come into direct contact with the food. Wrap the foam completely in plastic wrap. When you are arranging fruit, or flowers, your goal is to create an even and aesthetically pleasing bouquet. Insert your tallest skewers of fruit into and near the center of your base. As you work your way to the outer edges, the skewers should decrease in height. Periodically step back and evaluate the arrangement. Remove any skewers that seem out of place. Fill in all of the gaps with additional skewers. Continue the process until you are satisfied with the arrangement. You may need to skewer additional fruit to fill in the gaps. After you have assembled the arrangement, wrap the fruit bouquet in plastic wrap or a cellophane gift bag . Transfer the arrangement from your workspace to the fridge. Pull the fruit bouquet out of the fridge 5 minutes prior to the party or moments before you intend to deliver it.  If you are transporting the arrangement in a vehicle, place the edible centerpiece in a cardboard box and fill the empty space with bags, clean towels, or tissue paper.

Insert the hook at the end of the bow line through the loop on the carrying handle at the end of your kayak. Make sure the hook is secure. The tow hook should look like a small metal ring underneath the bumper on your car. Don’t hook the bow line to the plastic part of your bumper or you could damage your car. If your car doesn’t have a tow hook, you may need to get a hood loop strap to use instead. Hood loop straps attach to the bolt heads under your hood. After you’ve bolted it on, close the hood so the fabric loop part of the strap is sticking out from the hood. Hook the bow line to that loop. If your bow line has a cam buckle, pull the line through the cam buckle to tighten the line. If your bow line has a ratchet, crank the ratchet up and down until the line is tightened. Don’t make the bow line too tight or you could damage your kayak. You should still be able to move your kayak up and down on the roof of your car with your hand. Hook the end of the stern line to the carrying handle on the back end of your kayak. Then, hook the other end of the line to the tow hook underneath your back bumper, or to the hitch on your car. If you don’t have a tow hook or hitch, you may need to install a hitch so you have something to hook the stern line to. Take the loose ends of the bow and stern lines and wrap them around the rest of the line. Once all the slack is wrapped up, tie multiple knots so the loose ends don't come unraveled. Never drive with the loose ends of the bow and stern lines dangling. They could get caught in your tire and cause your kayak and roof rack to come off.

Insert the names of Jewish holidays between “chag” and “sameach” to speak a create a specific Hebrew greeting. You can use this style of greeting for nearly any holiday. However, it most appropriate with Sukkot, the Feast of Weeks, and Passover, which are technically the only festivals.  For Passover say, “Chag Pesach Sameach.” It is pronounced “KHAHG PAY-sahk sah-MEY-akh.” For Sukkkot say, “Chag Sukkot Sameach.” It is pronounced “KHAHG suu-KOHT sah-MEY-akh.” For the Feast of Weeks say, “Chag Shavu’ot Sameach” It is pronounced “KHAHG shah-voo-AWT.” ” Pronounced “KHAHG kah-SHEHR vuh-sah-MEY-akh,” this is a fancier way of saying happy holidays. It means “have a happy and kosher holiday.” It is a reference to Jewish dietary law known as Kashut or Kosher. Although it can be used for any holiday, it is typically said at Passover. This saying combines the Yiddish word “gut,” or “good,” with the Hebrew words “yom tov,” or “good day.” It is pronounced “YUHN tuh-vz” This phrase, which literally means “good good day,” can be used for any holiday.  Gut rhymes with put. Although not strictly Hebrew, this phrase is not uncommon in the Jewish world. This Yiddish saying is a derivation of “gut Yom Tov.” Pronounced “Gut YAHN-tiff,” this phrase was used by Europe’s Jews for centuries and it was not until the early twentieth century that it fell out of style. “Gut Yontiff” was particularly popular Jewish communities of the Pale in Eastern Europe. Many Jewish people in the United States and Israel still use or recognize “gut yontiff” as a holiday greeting.

Insert the pencil in the slot at the end of the compass and tighten it into place so it’s secure. If you want a big circle, pull the arms of the compass away from each other so the angle between them is bigger. If you want a small circle, push the arms closer together so there’s a small angle between them. Position the compass where you want to draw the circle. The end of the compass with the pencil attached to it will be where the outside of your circle is, and the other end of the compass will be the center of the circle. Keeping both ends of the compass on the piece of paper, rotate the compass so the end with the pencil spins around and draws a circle. Avoid shifting the compass while you’re drawing the circle or your circle will be uneven.

Insert the spine and crossbars, and attach the string per the instruction manual. Make sure to check the guidelines to determine the ideal wind speed for the kite. Hold up your kite by the bridle. The bridle is the two or three strings that attach to the kite and the kite line. Hold it up until it catches the wind. As soon as your kite catches the wind, let go of the bridle and begin to let some line out. The line should not be slack, but taut with a little give. Pull on the line to point the kite up. This will help the kite climb higher into the air. Tell your friend to hold the kite and walk downwind about 50 to 100 feet away from you. Have them hold the kite up in the air in front of them. Once the wind picks up, signal your friend to release the kite. As the kite gains altitude, pull on the line hand over hand until it is stable. If your kite sinks, then this means there is not enough wind. If you can, lower the bridle half of an inch down.  If your kite nose dives or spins toward the ground, then the wind is too strong. In this case, move the bridle a half inch higher. Do this slowly to land your kite. As you reel it in, make sure the line is taut with a little give. As you reel in your line, walk toward your kite until it has landed safely on the ground. If your kite starts to spin, then the line is too taut. You will need to give it some slack by letting out the line.

Arma la cometa dentro de casa. Sitúate de espaldas contra el viento. Suelta un poco de línea. Pídele ayuda a un amigo si el viento es ligero. Ajusta la brida. Enrolla la línea.


Insert the yarn into the second vertical bar from the hook. Yarn over the hook, then pull the yarn-over through both loops on your hook.  You can finish your work when you reach the end of a reverse row and only have one loop left on your hook. You should only be left with one loop on your hook at the end of this step. Continue slip stitching into each stitch along the top edge of your work until you reach the end of your row. For each stitch, insert the hook into the next vertical bar, yarn over, and pull the yarn-over through both loops on your hook. Cut the yarn, leaving at least a 2 inch (5 cm) tail. Pull this tail through the last loop on your hook to fasten off the work.  For added security, weave the excess tail into the back of the work, hiding it from sight. This should complete your Tunisian crochet project.

Inside the cave entrance, go down the ladder and to the water's edge. Dratini here are at a very low level, (between levels 5 and 15) and you only have a 10% chance of encountering one. You can also try fishing with a Good Rod or Super Rod, with your chances of encountering a Dratini between 10-30%. Ultra Balls are the best catching rate ball (besides Master Ball) in the game. Dratinis are annoyingly hard to catch and Ultra Balls can probably speed up the process. Love Balls are used for the opposite genders. For example, your Pokémon is a boy and the Dratini is a girl, the Love Ball has an advantage.

Inspect the age and quality of your bear. Also check the materials from which it is made, as well as those that adorn it. Since a machine-wash will be much rougher on the toy than a hand-wash, err on the side of caution and hand-wash it if you determine that your bear might not survive the machine. Do not machine-wash the following:  Old teddy bears, those that are delicate by design, and those that have become fragile due to lots of use. Bears that are made of wool, mohair, alpaca fur, or rayon. Any with attached add-ons like sequins, buttons, or eyes that have been glued on. If your bear has any clothes than can be removed, take them off to prevent tangling and to make sure that the bear itself is washed thoroughly. Trim any loose threads and sew up any tears or holes so the problem doesn’t grow any worse during the wash. Give your bear extra protection by closing it within a sealable pillowcase or mesh bag. First, add an appropriate amount of detergent to your washer. Then set the machine’s cycle to “Hand-Wash” or “Delicate.” Finally, select cold or warm water. Then start the wash cycle.  Do not use hot water, since this may ruin the bear. Do not include items that are excessively dirty or whose colors may bleed in the same wash cycle as your bear.

Inspect the condition of your foundation. If repairs need to be made to floorboards, do so now. The less work done after the rail installation, the better in order to make sure the handrail stays intact for as long as possible. To install a handrail using balusters, rather than installing one on a wall, you'll need quite a few materials in addition to the handrail you have chosen. If you're installing double handrails, one on either side of your set of stairs, double the quantity of supplies you purchase.  Your handrail should be a 2x4 piece of wood that is no longer than 8 feet long, according to most building codes. Purchase two newel posts, the supporting posts that hold up the rail; you'll need one for the top of the stairs and one for the base. The standard size of a post is 4x4 inches and 5 feet long. Purchase one baluster per stair step. Balusters are the spindles that connect the rail to each step. The height of the balusters should be between 30 and 36 inches, depending on how high you want the railing to be. If there are already posts and/or balusters in place, count the total numbers of pieces you will need to replace, if any. For secure installation of newel posts, you'll need a post-hole digger and concrete mix to pour into the holes.  Purchase sure-tite fasteners for secure installation of balusters in the steps. You'll need wood glue or epoxy glue to fasten the handrail to the posts. Depending on the style of railing you install, you may need additional reinforcement supplies, such as a finish nail gun and a screwdigger. If you're replacing an old handrail, your set of stairs may already have newel posts at the top and bottom that you can use to support your new handrail. If not, you'll need to install posts before you can install your rail.  To install a post in the ground, use a post-hole digger to dig a hole least 18 inches in depth in front of the bottom step. Fill the hole halfway to the top with mixed, wet concrete. Stand a newel post in the hole. If you're installing two posts, use a...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Prepara el porche para la obra. Compra los materiales. Instala los postes de barandilla. Instala los balaústres en el lugar correcto de cada escalón. Fija el pasamano a los postes de barandilla y a los balaústres. Aplica un tapaporos de exterior al pasamano terminado.


Inspect the surface of the metal first. If the metal has a number code printed on it, that may mean it is steel. This code may also be printed on the container or wrapping that protects the steel during shipping. If you don’t have that available, you will have to identify the metal through other means.  One code system is the AES system. It’s a 4-digit code where the first 2 numbers indicate the type of steel. Search online to find an identification chart that explains what these numbers mean.  The ASTM system is used on rebar. The first number in the code represents the size of the bar, while the letter under it indicates the type of steel. Steel comes in a small range of colors, but you can still get a sense of what metal you have by looking at it. Carbon steel, used in pipes and buildings, is a dark brown color. Stainless steel, used in kitchens, is silver and shiny. In addition, reddish rust spots are an indication that the metal is steel. Metal that has a red or yellow tint is copper or brass, not steel. Copper may also turn green as it ages. Before attempting a chip test, look for any fractures. These spots usually give you a view of the inside of the metal. Otherwise, use a hammer and chisel to break off a small piece. Steel’s inner portion is always bright gray. Hold the metal in place with clamps or vice grips before attempting to chip it.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Revisa en el metal una etiqueta de número. Busca metal que sea café oscuro, plateado brillante o rojo con óxido. Desconcha el metal para buscar color plateado dentro.


Inspect the wheel for screws. Use a screwdriver to take out any screws securing the wheel. If the screws are undamaged, set them aside—although your replacement wheel likely came with screws, you can use them if needed. Once you've unscrewed the luggage, the only thing keeping the wheel to the luggage should be a small metal clip attached to a bolt on either side. Pull out the clip and bolts, setting them aside next to the screws. The clip should be located in the center of the wheel. Take the old wheel out and dispose of it. Place the new wheel into the wheel well and test its placement. If it feels secure, you can screw the wheel into the luggage.  The wheel well is the hole left by the old wheel after you remove it. If the wheel feels too tight or loose, you may have chosen the wrong wheel size. Put the bolts on both sides of the wheel and slide the clip through to secure them. Use your screwdriver to tighten any screws back in place. Test the new wheel by rolling the luggage back and forth—if it glides smoothly, you have replaced the wheel correctly. If the wheel feels wobbly, try tightening the screws. You may have chosen the wrong wheel size if it still feels wobbly or does not move.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Destornilla los tornillos que sujeten la rueda en su lugar. Presiona el gancho que sujeta la rueda a la maleta. Retira la rueda vieja y reemplázala con la nueva. Coloca la rueda y atorníllala en la maleta.


Inspect, groom, or bandage your rabbit. It’s impossible to know how long your rabbit will stay in a trance, but 10 minutes is usually the maximum. It can feel like your rabbit just exploded to life in your lap! This is why it’s important to keep the rabbit’s body well-supported while in the trance. Other rabbits wake up more slowly and like to have their head rubbed while waking Snuggle it for a moment. Put the rabbit down and pack away the supplies around you.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lo que sea que tengas que hacer, hazlo rápido. Debes estar listo para el despertar de tu conejo. Sujeta al conejo con firmeza y voltéalo delicadamente al terminar.


Inspiring your kids to develop healthy habits starts with you. Cut back on the amount of time you and your spouse watch TV, and your kids won’t think it’s quite so unfair when you ask them to follow suit.  It may be wise for both parents to sit down together and decide how much screen time is appropriate for the entire family. Your "screen time" covers all devices, such as phones, tablets, and computers. Make sure you are reducing your time on all these devices to model healthy habits for your kids. It’ll look like you’re cheating if you have access to the TV at all times. If you want to really make things fair and square, remove the TV from all bedrooms, yours included. Screens (including tablets and laptops) should only be available in common areas like the kitchen or family room. For many families, TV is like the soundtrack to their lives. If the TV in your home pretty much never gets turned off, start turning it off once your program is over.  Aim to be more intentional about your TV use. Think about which programs you like the most and watch only those. Press the “Power” button afterwards. The same goes for tablets and smartphones. Power these devices off when you are having family time or whenever you're not intentionally using them. The ultimate goal for most parents is to encourage their children to do more positive activities like hobbies or sports. Be a good role model by following your own guidelines. If you expect each child to get involved in some sort of activity, the parents should do the same. Think about hobbies you used to enjoy when you were younger. You can try needlepoint, gardening, basketball, or painting.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reduce el tiempo que uses los dispositivos con pantalla. Retira la televisión del dormitorio principal. Apaga la pantalla cuando no estés usándola. Practica pasatiempos interesantes.


Install your hinges. Ask a friend to help you lift the door into place to get it onto the hinges. Thread the pins through the door and jamb portions of the hinge. If your latch hardware is not installed, install the doorknob so that you can test the door.  Remove the pins from the door and set your door aside. Place the pin on a hard floor and hit it several times with a hammer. Rehang the door. The pins will be slightly curved and have more resistance against the hinges. If the door is rattling, bend the prong on the strike plate toward the doorstop. It the door is not catching, bend the prong away from the doorstop. Then, tighten all the screws.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mide y marca la ubicación de las bisagras. Instala la puerta. Prueba la puerta abriéndola y cerrándola varias veces. Si la puerta se abre y cierra libremente, puedes aumentar la tensión de las bisagras. Ajusta el cerrojo.


Installing the latest available updates may help fix errors you're experiencing, and will keep your computer secure and stable. Windows Update will handle all of the checking and installing. Open the Start menu or screen and type "windows update" to find the Windows Update utility. In Windows 10, you can find the Windows Update utility in the "Update & Security" section of the new Settings menu. The amount of space on your hard drive doesn't normally have a massive impact on your performance, but if you dip below 20% free space on the drive Windows is installed on, you may notice some slowdown. Windows relies on this free space to move and store temporary files, and without it your computer can slow to a crawl. Regularly clearing out old files can help keep your system running smoothly. Open the Computer/This PC window (⊞ Win+E) and find your Windows drive (usually C:). This drive should have at least 20% free space available for optimum performance. Open the Start menu or screen and type "disk cleanup" to find the utility. Select your Windows drive and wait for it to be analyzed. Check the boxes for each of the types of files you want to remove. Each entry will display how much space you will reclaim by deleting them. Check your Downloads and Documents folders to see if you're stockpiling old files you don't need anymore. As you use your computer, you'll likely accrue a variety of programs that you used once but then forgot about. These old programs can take up a lot of space on your drive, and some may be running in the background, taking up system resources. Regularly uninstalling old programs can help keep your computer running smoothly.  Open the Control Panel and select "Uninstall a program" or "Programs and Features." Make your way through the list of installed programs and remove the ones you don't use anymore. Highlight a program and click "Uninstall" to remove it. If you aren't sure what a program is, look it up using a web search. A free program called "PC Decrapifier" can scan your computer for...

Instant yeast or the smaller-grained "rapid-rise" yeast variety doesn't need to bloom, and can be added directly to the dry ingredients. It is always active and has a long shelf life. Some professional bakers think instant yeast and active dry yeast produces a worse flavor compared to fresh yeast, but others detect no difference in the end result.  Never use brewer's yeast, champagne yeast, or wine yeast for baking. Pour a small quantity of water or milk into a heat-safe container, writing down how much you use. The exact amount doesn't matter, but you should deduct this amount from the liquids in your recipe. 1/2 cup (120 mL) should be more than enough for a typical bread recipe. For instance, if you use 1/2 cup (120 mL) of water to bloom the yeast, and the recipe calls for 1 cup (240 mL) of water total, use 1/2 cup (120 mL) of water instead since you'll be mixing in the remaining 1/2 cup (120 mL) along with the yeast. Warm the liquid to 105-110ºF (40–43ºC), which is warm but not hot or steaming. While yeast functions best at slightly lower temperatures, active dry yeast takes a little extra heat to get started. If you don't own a food thermometer, warm the liquid to a lukewarm temperature, aiming low. A slightly cooler liquid will take longer to activate the yeast, but go too hot and the yeast will die and never activate at all. Only warm water is necessary to activate the yeast, but the sugar allows you to test whether the yeast is ready. Active yeast will eat the sugar and produce carbon dioxide and other substances, which is exactly the process that makes bread dough rise and gives it a unique flavor. Stir in the sugar rapidly until it dissolves. If you forget to add the sugar, you may add it after the yeast is already in the water. This is just as effective, but you should stir more gently to avoid spilling or damaging the yeast. Measure out however much yeast the recipe calls for and sprinkle it onto the liquid. If the recipe calls for fresh yeast, use 1/2 that amount of active dry yeast instead, since...

Instead of being character/letter based like English, circular Gallifreyan is based, as the name implies, on circles. The symbols that make up letters are collected into words by larger word-circles. Many word-circles are collected together in even larger sentence-circles. The Gallifreyan alphabet was created by a fan of Dr. Who named Loren Sherman. He created this way of writing so he could transform English words to mimic the artistic representations of the Doctor’s native language, Gallifreyan. It is not used by the show and is not a real language. There are many online resources that you can print out so you have your own Gallifreyan writing references. You might also find the official Sherman site for circular Gallifreyan useful, as there are Gallifreyan guides for writing words, math, and music. These resources can be found at Sherman’s Planet.  The general guide to writing Gallifreyan has three different charts and a brief explanation of numbers. One chart displays consonants, one vowels, and the third punctuation marks. If a printer is unavailable and you cannot print these resources, you might keep them open in a tab on your computer or open them in the browser on your phone. This way, you’ll be able to compare your practice words to the Gallifreyan symbol references. A diacritic is a mark used to add meaning, stress, or emphasis to a letter. In Circular Gallifreyan, there are four basic symbols used to represent consonants. These symbols can be written alone, or you can add one diacritic mark or another to modify the base meaning of the symbol and change it into another consonant.  With the four consonant-symbols and five diacritics, there are a total of 24 consonants in Gallifreyan, which is slightly larger than English’s 21 consonant alphabet. The reason Gallifreyan has more consonant-symbols is because Gallifreyan use a graphed alphabet instead of one based on characters/letters. Because of this, Gallifreyan has special symbols for the letter combinations: TH, SH, CH, NG, and QU. Circular...

Instead of buying toys that are already filled or scented with catnip, purchase refillable toys at a pet store or online. Pre-filled toys may contain low-quality catnip that will lose its effectiveness quickly. You can fill refillable toys with good quality, organic catnip and continually replace it to make sure that the herb is always potent enough to have an effect on your cat. Make a simple catnip toy using a clean, stray sock. Add a pinch or two of catnip to the sock and seal it tightly with a knot. Replace catnip every week or so to ensure that it is potent. Alternatively, sew the top shut with a needle and thread. Cats often amuse themselves by playing with everyday household items, so stick to the basics when giving catnip toys to your cat. Put a pinch of catnip (in fresh, dried, pellet, or flake form) into a small paper bag. Crush it into a tight ball for your cat to play with. Crush the bag into a tight enough ball that it can't be opened up by your cat.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra juguetes que puedan rellenarse. Haz un juguete simple con un calcetín. Enrolla una simple bola de papel.


Instead of choosing any number, the person in the middle can try to name the loudest corner. This makes sneaking around extra important, and might be a good way to prevent roughhousing. If the person in the middle has trouble remembering which corner is which, he can point instead. This variation is good for young children. If no one want to be in the middle, have each person take a turn counting for five rounds each.  After the first round, you can ask someone who's out of the game to count instead.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Apunta hacia la esquina más ruidosa. Apunta en lugar de decir números. Cambia la persona que está en el centro cada par de rondas.


Instead of constantly being on a computer or phone, think about what gadgets were around when you were little.  This could include electronics like the Gameboy, Walkman, Nintendo DS/DSi/3DS; an older version of a tablet, eReader, MP3 player, iPod or a mobile phone without internet. There could be lots of other handheld games that you may own. If you can't find any of these, ask a relative or friend if they do. Find a book, a newspaper, or a magazine. Take the time to learn something more about the world or familiarize yourself with some famous literary characters. It might take you some time to get interested in the story, but often by the middle of the book you won’t be able to put it down.  Consider bringing a book with you wherever you go. Keep a list of books you want to read. If you can get to the library, there should be enough choices for you to find something decent. If you don't know what to read, ask the librarian for suggestions! Form a book club with your friends. . If you have some time on your hands, it might be an opportunity to cook a large batch of food that will keep you fed for a while. Consider something that will keep and can be snacked on without reheating, like  hummus,  pesto, and  cookies.  If you are using your parents’ kitchen, be sure to ask permission before using. Don’t cook without supervision unless you know how to properly handle food and understand how to cook safely. Alternatively, you could try making nut butter or pickling vegetables. Exercise is good for both your physical and mental health. Try  weight lifting. If you don’t have weights or a gym membership, just go on a job around the neighborhood, do sit ups, and push-ups. If you have played all your video games to death, set new, challenging goals to meet. If you are watching TV, experiment with a show you’ve never watched before or put on a classic movie that you’ve always wanted to see. Most animals enjoy socializing.

Instead of creating a single loop, as you would with a standard magic ring, you will need to create two loops. The tail should be in the back on the right side, while the working yarn should be in the front towards your palm.  Note that this is very similar to the standard magic ring, but many prefer the double ring for projects that will see a little more action since a double magic ring provides greater durability. You should wrap the loop around the first two fingers on your non-dominant hand.

Instead of creating a well-defined part, you can separate your hair and then let it fall into place as it wants to. You can still separate your hair in the middle or on the side, but don't worry if 1 section lays on the wrong side. In addition, you can wiggle your finger back and forth through your part to create an uneven line.  You can do this whether you use a comb or your fingers to part your hair. This looks great with relaxed, casual, and tomboy looks.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Crea un apartado desordenado para los estilos informales y despreocupados.


Instead of creating straight parts, try to create wavy parts by moving the teeth of the comb side to side as you create the part. Then, braid your hair as you normally would along the part. This will dictate the shape of the braids and can create a cool, wavy effect. Braided hair isn't limited to cornrows that run from front to back. Once you become proficient at tying braids, try to mix up your part placement. Create parts that run horizontally across your head instead of front to back, or create parts that make shapes on your head for an interesting style. For example, you can create zig-zag braids or braids that form an X. If your head isn't entirely covered in braids, comb your non-braided hair back and tie it to the end of the braid with a rubber band. This will create a topknot, or man bun on the top of your head and will give your braid a fresh and trendy look. This style works best for hair that's longer than 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm).

TL;DR in Spanish:

Divide el cabello en partes onduladas para hacer trenzas onduladas. Sé creativo con la ubicación de las secciones. Haz un moño de hombre si tienes el pelo más largo en la parte superior de la cabeza.


Instead of crisscrossing over to the other side, as you would in a traditional or criss-cross lacing, take the end of the left lace and push it through the hole or eyelet directly above the one that it’s currently in. Repeat the process on both ends of the lace. You should now see your shoelace run vertically through the holes. Cross the laces over the center of the shoe and push them through the holes on the opposite side of your shoe. Crisscrossing is necessary to keep the laces tight. Repeat what you did earlier and don’t cross the laces. Run them vertically to the next highest eyelet. Your shoelaces should now look like they run vertically on the bottom, cross over, then run vertically again on the third eyelets from the bottom. Your laces should then criss-cross through the next holes. Alternate between crisscrossing and vertical lacing all the way up the shoe. Because you’re using vertical lacing, you should have more shoelace towards the top which will make tying a knot easier. Once your boots are tight, tie them as you normally would. Your laces should now look unique while remaining functional.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Instead of feeling sad that the person is gone, try to remember a time when they made you laugh or smile. This could be something they said or did, or a special thing you both experienced. Thinking about something funny will help contain your tears and make you feel more positive. For example, maybe the person gave you a funny birthday present or you both attended a hilarious play. Focus on these fun memories to help lift your spirits. Think of the first positive or funny thing that comes to mind, whether it's a funny joke you heard recently, good news you received at work, or an event you're looking forward to. Focus on this positive thought for a minute or two, letting it distract you from your sadness so that you won't cry. For example, maybe you helped a friend out recently and they were very appreciative, or you heard an uplifting song on the radio earlier in the day. It's helpful to find something in the room to focus on to help relieve your tears. A stable, ordinary object works well, or you can focus on a section of the wall. When focusing on the thing, try to empty your mind and let any talking or noise fade.  If you find yourself starting to cry during the eulogy, try to focus on a corner of the podium or the back of a stranger's head to help you calm down. If necessary, you can also focus on an item super close to you, such as your handbag, fingernail, or jacket sleeve. Try to keep your mind from focusing on the events of the funeral by distracting yourself with other thoughts or tasks. You can do things like sing song lyrics in your head or make a mental grocery list to prevent yourself from crying. You can also recite poetry in your head or list the things you need to do in the upcoming week.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Piensa en algo que la persona fallecida haya hecho y que te haya hecho reír. Enfócate en pensamientos o actividades positivas en tu vida. Enfoca tu mirada en otro punto. Distráete con otros pensamientos.
