The majority of your customers will search for you online, so it's essential to have a user-friendly website. At the very least, your website should include information about your business and your history in the moving industry, details about the quoting process, contact information, and a description of the services you offer. If possible, allow customers to schedule quotes online, view your availability, or read testimonials from other customers. One of the easiest ways to start your business is by helping people you already know with their moves. You can be on the lookout for any announcements related to moving that your friends make on social media. Once you have provided good service to friends, they are likely to recommend you to others. In order to spread the word about your business, have some professional looking promotional materials printed and distribute them around your community.  You can distribute business cards at public events, tuck them into local bulletin boards, or even print them in directories, yearbooks, and other local print media. Flyers can be mailed, posted in public places, or distributed to businesses that might be able to refer customers to like you, such as furniture stores. Make sure you have a professional, recognizable logo that is consistent across all of your marketing materials. Another way to get your business's name out there is to make yourself visible. Whether it's by working with partners at local events, volunteering, or using your vehicle for an ad campaign, visibility is key for driving business. Build relationships with influential people in your community. Realtors are a great source of referrals to movers, as are the owners of local furniture stores or the office staff at a large apartment complex. You can use directory sites like Craigslist to advertise your services to people in your local community for free. Social media is also a great way to spread the word about your business. There are many options for advertising, depending on your budget and your...

The males have hemipenal bulges below the vent whereas females do not.  Males and females both have a V-shaped row of scales above the vent but only the male's scales here are hollow and produce wax.  This wax is for scent marking their territory.  It's best to check yourself to ensure you have a male and female, rather than trust people at a large pet store.  Smaller specialists or Reptile show people typically will know their stuff. Never house two males together or they will fight to the death. Geckos can be kept together without the need to separate them unless you see major aggression.  It is sometimes normal when first introducing a male and female for there to be a little squabbling but this usually stops within the first week.  For a pair you will need at least a 20 gallon (75.7 L) long tank. You may also choose to house one male with 4-5 females, add 10 gallons (37.9 L) of space for each additional gecko. You can use a plastic sandwich container with a lid for this purpose.  Cut an entry hole on one side and fill it with damp moss (This can be used as the moist hide too).

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consigue ejemplares de gecko leopardo de ambos sexos. Consigue una jaula grande para que la hembra y el macho vivan juntos. Ten lista la incubadora para los huevos y consigue una caja donde la hembra los pondrá. Asegúrate de que tendrás clientes que compren a las crías cuando estén listas.


The man may need more time than the average man to do some of the usual boyfriend-like things with you, such as meeting your friends, showing affection publicly, being in a relationship on Facebook, or going on vacation with you. While you may want to bring him to your work functions, family vacations, or just a party at one of your friend’s houses, he may not be ready for that level of commitment yet. This doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care for you, but that he wants to take things slow. If you’re constantly asking him to come to things with you, then he may oblige you, but his heart won’t be in it. Wait for him to suggest that he’d like to meet your friends, colleagues, or family. Don’t be mad or hurt if the man isn’t ready to introduce you to his friends or family. Remember that they were there during the worst and best of his former relationship and that they’ll need some time to get used to the idea of your relationship. If he has children, don’t ever ask to meet them until he’s ready to introduce you to them. Remember that he doesn’t want to confuse them about who you are or make them feel like his personal life is always changing. Wait until he’s ready to take these steps with you.  Don’t get angry with him if he doesn’t invite you to family Thanksgiving, have you meet his buddies at happy hour, or introduce you to his younger sister quite yet. If he hasn’t chosen to do this yet, then he must have a good reason for doing so. Of course, this can’t go on forever, but you should wait until he feels fully over the divorce before you can take these steps with him. If his ex-wife and children are in his life, try to develop a relationship with them. Be friendly to the ex-wife and be helpful and kind to the children, if they are ready to accept you. Approach them slowly at first and wait for your relationship to grow. If you’re serious about the man, then you have to try to integrate into his life, when he’s ready for it, without pushing too far. His wife may have been anything that was too much for him, from...

The manicure will make you want to not bite your nails due to how nice they look. Not to mention, having nail polish on may push back the urge to bite your nails, since you don't want to bite into nail polish or ruin your manicure. Once your nails are in great shape, you should focus on keeping them that way, and the best way to show off your shiny new nails is to get a manicure. A simple manicure can help maintain your healthy nails, and so will keeping them relatively short and preventing yourself from biting them more. If you have any surplus growth, cut your nails back. Keep clippers with you at all times. You can't bite if there's nothing there. Many nail-biters do not have "moons" on the base of their fingernails because their cuticles have not been pushed back. To do this, gently push your cuticles towards your finger to reveal more of your nail. This is easier to do after a shower when your hands and nails are wet. This makes the nail appear longer, and it gives a more attractive shape, which might also be a motivation to stop biting. A healthy diet will help you feel better overall and will help your nails repair and grow well. Eat calcium and magnesium rich foods so that your nails will repair and grow well. Not only that, but most of the reason that the human body wants to bite nails is a lack of calcium and magnesium in the body. The body needs that material back. Don't be afraid to show off your new nails to your friends, or even to people you don't know very well. Show them your hands and say, "Can you believe I used to have a nail-biting problem?" Take photos of your hands and enjoy how good they look. You can even hang them up, or hang them next to a photo of your ragged "before" nails to show that you are capable of making big changes in your life.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Recibe una manicura con la mayor frecuencia posible. Mantén las uñas relativamente cortas. Retrocede las cutículas de vez en cuando. Mantén una dieta saludable. Celebra el éxito que hayas tenido con tus uñas.


The manner of creating your own character in GTA V is different from the usual process of character creation. It is not simply customizing your character’s height, color, or looks. In this game, character creation is divided into three parts. Heritage, Lifestyle, and Appearance.

TL;DR in Spanish:


The manual should also tell you how much of each fluid you need, and the type of antifreeze your car uses. If one of the warning lights is lit on your dashboard, you can check the manual for what the light indicates (usually oil or coolant). When one of these lights are on, it is a sign that a leak is possible. If you are pointing uphill or downhill the fluid in your tanks may read more or less than is actually there. It is important to check fluids on level ground. In many vehicles it usually has a yellow handle. If you have difficulty locating the dipstick, look in your owner's manual.  Pull out the dipstick, wipe it off with a paper towel or rag, and reinsert it. Pull the dipstick out again and examine it horizontally. There are two indicator marks, one is the top level and the other the lower level. The amount of oil should be between these two marks.  Wipe off the dipstick with a towel and place it back into the reservoir tank if it is at a normal level. If it isn't between the two lines, this indicates a possible oil leak. Do this when your engine is cold, and look to see if the fluid level is between the hot and cold marks on the tank. Sometimes you may have to take off the radiator cap to see clearly, depending on the color of your tank. If the fluid is below the cold line or is completely empty, you definitely have an antifreeze leak. This is the reservoir for your power steering fluid. Let your engine run at idling speed for a few minutes and turn the steering wheel back and forth several times. This should be done before proceeding to checking your fluid levels. The dipstick is usually built into the cap with an indicator mark. If the liquid is below this mark or there's none on the stick, then you may have a leak. There should be a marker line on the side of the reservoir. If you cannot see the fluid clearly, you can unscrew the cap and look inside.  If the fluid is very low or gone, you have a leak. It is normal to have a slight decrease in fluid if your brake pads are worn down. If you think...

The material of the cloth doesn't matter. Whatever you normally use for your washing routine will work. If you're treating a large area of skin, you could use a hand towel. The size of the bowl depends on how many scabs you're treating. Make sure the water is warm, not hot. Hot water can irritate the scabs and break the capillaries under your skin. This could make your scabs look even worse. Submerge the cloth in the water. Make sure it's thoroughly soaked. Wring out any excess to avoid making a mess. Lay the compress gently on your scabs. Avoid applying pressure to keep the crust intact. Leave the compress on for 10 minutes. Pat the area dry or allow it to air dry. Do this twice a day. The moisture and heat help to soften and loosen the scabs and also bring blood to the affected areas, which aids healing.

Busca una toallita limpia. Llena un recipiente con agua tibia. Humedece la toallita con agua tibia. Aplica la compresa sobre tus costras.


The materials needed are light and easy, though you may have some questions about how much you actually need:  About 2lbs of rope chord, cut into two roughly even halves (roughly 200 ft) 2-3 completely flat, 1/8" thick weaving shuttles, (various lengths) 1" thick wooden spacer, same length as chair 1/2" thick wooden spacer, same length as chair Very thin wooden spacer, same length as chair (a yardstick works well) Crochet hooks (for detailing) You can start on any one of the four sides of the seat. Tie your knot and slide it all the way to one corner -- this is the starting point of your warp. A "warp" is simply the first round of rope, pointing in one direction, that gives the weave its shape.  You should have the majority of your rope at the other end of this knot. Just keep it attached to the large ball of yarn/rope it came from. Click here to learn how to tie a clove hitch below. This spacer will keep some slack in the weave as you start in the first direction. This will make it much, much easier to weave in the opposite side later. If you make this first weave too tight you will have to remove it and start over. Take your rope and lay it over the spacer, over the opposite seat pole, then back underneath everything to your starting point. This is one loop. You don't want to pull this as tight as possible. It should be tight enough to hold its shape, but not so tight you can't lift it slightly with your fingers. Starting with the pole you tied the knot on, lay the rope over the spacer, over the opposite pole, then back under everything to where you started. Use your fingers to push the strings close together, then repeat until you have 5 total wraps. Instead of wrapping across the whole width of the chair, wrap it the rope once around the pole opposite your starting side. Come back to the beginning and wrap the rope just around this horizontal seat pole. If you started on the left side of the seat, slide everything to the left. You should have a total of 6 parallel strings on the seat posts:  The string...

Consigue cuerda, lanzaderas y un gancho para tejer de una tienda de manualidades. Amarra  la primera parte de la cuerda a una de las varas horizontales del asiento usando un nudo ballestrinque. Extiende el espaciador de 2,5 cm (1 pulgada) en el asiento, perpendicular al nudo. Envuelve la cuerda alrededor de todo el ancho de la silla, luego regresa al punto de inicio. Evita que las cuerdas se superpongan mientras amarras la cuerda alrededor de todo cuatro veces más. Después de dar cinco vueltas, envuelve individualmente la vara del asiento para crear un espaciador. Lleva la cuerda al otro lado y envuelve la primera vara del asiento un vez para crear un segundo espaciador. Desliza las cuerdas para acercarlas, asegurándote de que no se crucen. Repite el proceso de cinco vueltas horizontales y un espaciador hasta que cubras todo el asiento.

The meat in this section is generally more expensive than the packaged meats. However, the meat behind the deli counter is usually fresher and of higher quality than the packaged meats. When you buy bacon at the deli counter, you can ask the butcher to cut it as thick as you like it. This cut comes from the pork belly meat that’s closest to the bone. This bacon is lean and meaty with almost thirty percent less fat than regular bacon.  However, this cut of bacon is generally the most expensive. If you buy prepackaged bacon, look for the center-cut options. Many brands of prepackaged bacon also carry center-cut bacon. The staff behind your meat counter will be able to tell you about the best bacon they have. Always be polite and try to remember their names whenever you visit the grocery store. If you build a good relationship with them they may even set aside the best cuts of bacon for you.

The mellow floral notes in cognac pair wonderfully with rich foods, cutting through the richness to bring out bright flavors. When serving cognac, consider pairing it with:  Duck confit Pâtés, such as pâté du foie gras Hearty tomato-based pastas Roasted meats Cheese plates are excellent as appetizers, snacks, or even a savory “dessert.” There are different cheeses that taste good with different ages of cognac. Arrange the cheese plate with 2 or 3 cheeses, dried and fresh fruit, roasted nuts, crackers, and cured meats.  VS cognacs pair well with creamy mellow cheeses such as Roquefort and mascarpone. VSOP cognacs taste wonderful with mature hard cheeses such as cheddar and aged gouda. XO cognacs pair wonderfully with a nutty aged Mimolette cheese and pungent Parmesans. Traditionally, expensive cognacs are enjoyed after dinner with a fine cigar. First, pour the cognac and warm it in your hand. Next, light the cigar. Smoke the cigar between sips of cognac. When choosing a cigar, match the flavors in the cognac. For example, pair a mellow cognac with a mild-flavored cigar.

The melting temperature and time will be determined by the type of metal you are using. You can also use a blow-torch and small crucible to melt your silver. For professional jewelry, you'll need a centrifuge. This evenly distributes the metal quickly, but it is not the only option you have for casting. The more classic, easier solution is to simply pour the metal careful into the tunnel left by the base of the mold. You could use a large, metal-specific syringe to pump the metal into the mold, too. The amount of time it needs to cool is dependent, of course, on the metal melted and used. Dunk too soon and the metal may crack -- dunk too late and it will be hard to remove all the plaster from the hardened metal.  Look up cooling times for your metal before moving on. That said, if you're in a pickle you can just wait 10 minutes and then dunk in cold water. The plaster should begin  dissolving away as you shake it around the cold water. Separate the flask from the sprue base and use your fingers or a toothbrush to peel away any last bits stuck to the jewelry.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Coloca el metal que escogiste en un crisol de colada, y luego fúndelo adentro de una fundidora. Usa una centrifugadora de joyería (máquina de fundición centrífuga) para verter el metal en el molde. Deja que el metal se enfríe por 5 o 10 minutos y luego mójalo lentamente con agua fría. Golpea suavemente el molde con un martillo para romper cualquier exceso de yeso y dejar al descubierto la joya.


The memory palace method is a type of mnemonic. This is a learning device that can help you recall difficult information. Everyone has a “memory palace”, which is a space in your mind where you build memories and store information, from images of the past to words and phrases.  Think of your mind as one big memory palace. Within the palace, there are “stations” or separate spaces, like a bedroom or a sitting room. The distance between these rooms is called a “journey”. As you construct your memory palace, you can leave words and phrases at these stations and then pick them up later when you take a journey through your palace to retrieve them. This method will help you remember words from a text, such as a dictionary, in a limitless way, as there is no limit to how many rooms or spaces you can add to your memory palace. The memory palace method is not just made for visual learners. Everyone has the ability to picture a palace or a home and the rooms or spaces in a palace or home. You can use your own home as a way to map out your memory palace, or create your own palace out of a combination of several familiar spaces. Start by taking out a sheet of blank paper and a pen or pencil. Think about a home or space you are familiar with, like your family home, your school or your workplace. Choose a space that has multiple rooms. You can also combine spaces to form the layout of your memory palace. Start with the largest rooms. Arrange the rooms so they are in a circular or half circle shape with at least two exits. For example, your floor plan could include four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large kitchen, a large living room, and a den, as well as long areas for a front yard and a backyard. Try to fit as many rooms as possible on the floor plan, without cramming rooms together. Leave enough space between the rooms to make a pathway. You want to make sure you can draw a linear path through the space. You should be able to move through the memory palace without reaching a dead end. This will allow you to move from...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ten en cuenta cómo funciona el método. Dibuja un plano de tu palacio de la memoria. Haz un camino lineal a través del plano. Numera tus "estaciones". Haz una lista de las "estaciones" y añade palabras correspondientes del diccionario. Asocia imágenes y acciones con cada palabra usando el palacio de la memoria. Añade más habitaciones a tu palacio de la memoria a medida que memorices más palabras.


The methods included here are fairly standard and should generally work with most washers. Even so, break out your owner’s manual and read over the appropriate sections, just in case any directions or advice are particular to that manufacturer and/or model. Check its table of contents or index for subjects like:  Drainage issues and troubleshooting Disconnecting and reconnecting drain hoses and/or filters Draining your washer shouldn’t be an out-of-control project with water flying everywhere, but play it safe anyway. If your washer is plugged into a power outlet, unplug it. If it’s hardwired into your electrical system instead, switch off the appropriate circuit breaker. Eliminate the risk of electrocution just in case you experience any unforeseen mishaps. Do the same with any other electrical devices in the immediate area. Again, this project shouldn’t create a huge mess, but be prepared for at least a little water to possibly go wild. Before you begin, set yourself up with some towels to keep on hand. Make clean-up a cinch by having them within easy reach in case you spill any water on the floor or elsewhere.  Draining a front-loading machine is more likely to be messy than a top-loading machine, so if that’s what you have, expect more spills. In addition to towels, you could also lay out a tarp, dropcloth, or similar material on the floor around your washer. This may seem like a no-brainer, but make life easier by knowing exactly how you’ll dispose of the water before you start. If your laundry room has a drain in the floor, use that. If your washer is in a bathroom and has a drainage hose that will reach, use your bathtub or shower stall. Otherwise, have a bucket or dish ready to transport the water to a sink or tub elsewhere in your home.  Be aware that used water from your washer is usually considered “gray water.” Your local, state, or even federal government may have laws regarding the proper disposal of gray water. This means that you may not be allowed to simply toss it outside so it can soak into...

The microwave will heat the butter from the outside in, so chop the butter into several pieces to increase the surface area that can be heated. This will reduce uneven heating, although you still shouldn't expect perfectly even heating in a microwave. Place the butter into a microwave-safe dish, then cover with a paper towel. Butter may splatter during the rapid melting a microwave causes. The paper towel should protect the microwave's interior from these splashes. Microwave ovens are much faster at melting butter than the stovetop, but also much more likely to cause burning, separation, or other problems. Start out cautiously by setting the microwave to "low" or "defrost" if possible, then microwave your butter for ten seconds. The butter has most likely not melted by now, but because butter melts at a relatively low temperature, each ten second interval can have a dramatic effect. Stir to evenly distribute the heat and see if there are any chunks.  Note: remember to remove silverware from the bowl before returning it to the microwave. Replace the paper towel and zap the butter for another ten seconds, or five seconds if the butter is nearly done. Keep checking on progress until there are only tiny chunks remaining. Remove the dish carefully from the microwave, as it may be hot. The tiny pieces remaining can be melted with the residual heat. Stir the butter until the entire dish is golden and liquid. Butter with greasy droplets or white residue on the surface has been microwaved too long. It can still be used for sautéing  or adding flavor to savory dishes, but may negatively affect the texture of baked goods.

The middlegame is devoted to strategically attacking your opponent. During this portion of the game, you must remain patient and aware of your opponent’s strategy. If your opponent fails to protect a piece, consider seizing the opportunity to capture it. Before you capture the piece:  Make sure you are not falling into a trap. Examine how the move will impact your pieces and the safety of your king. During the middlegame, you and your opponent will inevitably capture each other’s pieces. Essentially, you will be swapping pieces with your opponent. While some swaps will be necessary and logical, others may be detrimental to the strength of your men and the safety of your king. Before swapping pieces, consider if the piece you are capturing is as valuable as the piece you are sacrificing.  The queen is the most valuable piece, followed by the rooks. The bishops and knights are of equal value. Pawns have the least value to you. Once the manpower of each side has diminished, the endgame begins. Manipulate your pieces so that they threaten the safety of your opponent’s king. The goal of the endgame is to checkmate your opponent before they can checkmate you. When a king can not outrun a threat to its safety and the remaining men can not thwart the threat, the king is in checkmate.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ataca a tu oponente. Sacrifica tus piezas de manera sensata. Captura al rey.


The mineral magnesium is essential for proper energy production within the body. Healthy magnesium levels will help the body to deliver energy to the muscles while exercising, thus limiting the buildup of lactic acid. Therefore, you should make an effort to increase your daily magnesium intake, preferably through your diet.  It is also possible to increase magnesium intake through supplements, however, with a healthy diet rich in the food sources described above, this should not be necessary. A healthy intake of foods rich in fatty acids helps the body to break down glucose, a process which is essential for normal energy production. This can help to limit the body's need for lactic acid during a tough workout and keep you going for longer.  Get essential fatty acids from cold water fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel, from nuts and seeds like walnuts and flaxseed and from plant oils such as corn oil, sunflower oil and soybean oil.  Fatty acids also work to reduce inflammation, which helps to lessen muscle soreness in the days following a tough workout. B vitamins are useful in transporting glucose around the body, which helps to fuel the muscles during a workout, thus reducing the need for lactic acid.  Foods that contain high quantities of B vitamins include leafy green vegetables, cereals, peas and beans, along with protein-rich foods such as fish, beef, poultry, eggs and dairy products.  Foods high in B vitamins also help to replenish the body with other nutrients that are lost during intense exercise.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aumenta tu consumo de magnesio. Consume alimentos ricos en ácidos grasos. Consume alimentos que contengan vitamina B.


The mod style focuses on color blocking, black and white, and hints of bright yellow, orange, pink, and pastels. Bold, geometric patterns like British flags, polka-dots, and stripes were all popular mod styles. Mini-skirts that sat several inches above the knee were a hot mod item during the 60s. Look for bold colors and bright prints, as well as staples like black and navy. Pick fun fabrics, such as tweed, wool, or velvet. Slim-fitting pants are a mod fashion staple, and ankle-length pants and capris were also popular. Choose neutral colors and pair with bold tops. You can also roll up the pants to show off your mod shoes. A-lines were just as popular as minis in mod times. They look great with a twin-set as well as a three-quarter sleeve blouse. Pair a neutral A-line with a color-blocked top, or choose a patterned A-line and a solid top. Shift dresses are loose and a bit boxy, so they look good on every body type. Choose a sleeveless shift in a geometric print for a fun and easy mod look. Add a pair of flats and a fun scarf, and you’re ready to go. Button-up shirts were popular for both men and women. Pair a men’s button down with a mini-skirt or slim-fitting pants for a mod look. Top off the outfit with a printed scarf and oversize sunglasses. Twin-set tops and sweaters are a must. Choose a few in different colors and pair with an A-line skirt for a totally modern style. You could also pair a twin-set with fitted pants and booties. This sleeve length was all the rage for mods. Consider dresses or blouses in bold patterns with three-quarter length sleeves to add flair to your look. Pair a top with three-quarter length sleeves with a mini-skirt and flats for a mod look. Bomber jackets and parkas were popular for both men and women. Add a bomber jacket over an outfit with an A-line dress or skirt, or pair a parka with a men’s button-down and trousers.

The model number will help you match the replacement lenses with the ones currently in your sunglasses. It will usually appear on the inside of 1 of the temple pieces, which are the bars, or arms, of the sunglasses. The model number will have a mix of letters and numbers. For example, you may have a model number like “SR 4550” or “6051-HJ.” The color code will have 1 number for the lens color or 2 numbers, 1 for the color of the frame and 1 for the color the lenses. The color code usually appears right after the model number on 1 of the temple pieces. For example, you may have a color code like, “004” or a combination of 2 numbers, “402/14,” with the latter number being the color of the lenses. The size of the lense is usually in millimeters or centimeters. There will be 2 measurements, the width of the lenses and then the bridge and earpiece length. The width of the lenses is what you need to order the correct size lenses for the sunglasses. For example, you may have a lens size like “50 to 75 millimetres (5.0 to 7.5 cm).” Once you have the model number, color code, and lenses size, you can order the replacement lenses from an online retailer. You can also choose other details like the lens material, the color or tint, and polarization. If you prefer to shop for the lenses in person, head to your nearest eyeglass or sunglass retailer and ask a salesperson to help you find the right replacement lenses for your sunglasses.

The moist, pulpy center of stems, leaves, and stalks contain water, so you can either slice off part of the plant to work with or make a notch in a stalk at the base of the joint. A small pocket knife works best for cutting into a plant because you can be more precise, and avoid cutting any more than is necessary. With some plants, moisture may flow from it as soon as you cut it. However, some species require that you squeeze or press the leaves or stems to get the water to flow. You’ll need to press on the moist pulp inside to access the liquid.   Sucking water directly from plant isn’t a good idea because the exterior of the leaves, stems, or stalks may contain bacteria, dirt, and other debris. Be careful if you’re trying to extract moisture from a cactus.They are a great source of water, but their prickly exterior can be hard on your hands if you need to squeeze out the liquid. It’s best to examine the liquid that comes out of the plant to ensure that it’s water and not potentially poisonous. Let the liquid fall into a bowl or cup so you can check its color and texture.  If the liquid that comes out of your plant has a milky color and a sap-like consistency, don’t drink it. It’s usually poisonous.  Keep in mind that a single leaf, stem, or stalk may not contain much water, so you may need to extract liquid from several pieces of the plant to get as much water as you'd like.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Corta una sección de la planta. Exprime o muele hasta que salga agua. Recolecta el agua en un recipiente.


The momentum from landing on your bottom will bounce you right back up so you can get your feet underneath of you again. When you are coming back up, raise your arms above your head rather than keeping them at your side. For fun, see how many times in a row you can do a seated drop before you lose momentum. This is a great exercise for your core! Keep your back straight as you come back down and don’t sit on your heels—you want to keep your calves perpendicular to the rest of your body if you can. The momentum from landing on your knees will bounce you back up so you can stand on your feet. Practice this move multiple times to learn the right angle for your body’s landing. If you land with your shoulders and torso too far forward, you might fall onto your face. Practice will help you figure out your body’s center of gravity for the perfect landing. After you complete your flip or trick, gently straighten your back and land backside-down. Don’t make your torso and legs rigid, though. When you bounce back up, stand up on your feet, or continue doing another trick! If you’re uneasy about the back drop, try just doing a trust fall (where you fall backwards with your back straight and let people catch you, except in this case, the trampoline is “catching” you) from the standing position until you become more comfortable. Land with your hands in front of your face to protect it from the trampoline. You can spring back up to your feet after doing the front drop, or you can land on your knees. You can also move straight into doing another trick after doing the front drop. Practice this move until you can land on your knees, on your feet, and do an additional trick from the front drop position. This move gives you a lot of versatility in your landings.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aterriza sobre el trasero con las piernas extendidas para hacer la caída sentada. Salta y dobla las piernas para completar la caída de rodillas. Aterriza sobre la espalda para hacer la caída dorsal. Deja que tu cuerpo caiga hacia delante para completar la caída frontal.


The more distractions there are, the more difficult it will be for you to hold your dog's attention while training. At the age of 9 weeks, most expert trainers begin exposing to livestock in a safe, fenced in area. This way your puppy can become more comfortable with your chickens. This is especially important for male dogs. Without neutering, male dogs can suffer from aggression and distracted behavior. By limiting the aggressive hormones of your dog by getting it fixed, your pup's chicken guard training will go much more smoothly. If you are rushed, you may get more easily irritated than normal with your puppy's progress, which can have a negative impact on training. Interruptions, too, like your cell phone, can lead to confusion during a training session. Your dogs should know all basic commands, like sit, down, come, and stay before you allow your grown (or growing) dog to go toe-to-talon with your chickens. These can most effectively be trained through short training sessions that use positive rewards paired with clear, succinct commands. The most important command, however, in the vocabulary of a poultry protector is probably: leave it.  The leave it command can be trained with meat, cheese, or some other kind of treat. Collect a goodly amount of treats, and then place your dog into position. Place a treat in front of your dog and command him to leave it. When the dog makes his move for the meat, block it with your hand and give a firm, negative response, like "Ah" or "No." When your dog appears to have lost interest in the temptation, reward your him with a different piece of meat from your other hand. Move the temptation closer and repeat this process. It might take a while before your dog learns anything more than sit, but alternating between commands quickly can be fun for your dog while further entrenching the command. Alternate between sit and down or sit and come to train your puppy as you play.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz que tu perro pierda la sensibilidad en un entorno controlado. Castra a tu perro cuando tenga la edad adecuada. Entrénalo con la menor cantidad posible de distracciones. Enséñale órdenes básicas. Inculca las órdenes básicas en tu perro.


The more educated a person is, the more likely they are to act heroic. Take the time to learn about cultures and societies different from your own, as well as issues facing the community in which you live. Expand your heroic horizons by educating yourself about the world. Studies have shown that heroes are more likely to be educated about their own communities and the world at large than those who have not acted heroically. Having empathy means sensing another person’s emotions and trying to understand what they are feeling by putting yourself in their shoes. If you can put yourself in someone else’s shoes, you can understand what type of help might be meaningful to them. Empathy reduces racism and bullying, fights inequality, and fosters heroic acts.  If you see someone being bullied at school, think about what it would feel like if you were the person being bullied. If you see a refugee from Syria on television, think about what it might feel like to lose your home and job and be forced to migrate to another country because of war. The more you come to know someone or a group of people who are different from yourself, the more able and willing you will be to stand up for them. In a study of Gentiles who sheltered Jews during the Holocaust, researchers found these heroes were more likely to report having regular interactions with family and friends than their neighbors who did not help Jews during the war. Men and women sampled by researchers in one study were asked to report on whether or not volunteering was a part of their lives. One-third of the men and women who researchers classified as heroes spent a significant amount of time volunteering in their communities and elsewhere. Some heroes reported spending as much as fifty-nine hours per week volunteering! You could even get involved in a non-profit organization to have an even broader reach. For example, you might volunteer to help plan events or become a member of a subcommittee. Publically declare that you are a hero-in-waiting to your friends,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Edúcate. Sé más empático. Interactúa de forma regular con amigos, familiares y con tu comunidad. Ofrécete como voluntario en tu comunidad. Asume el compromiso de héroe.


The more evidence you can share with the IRS, the better. Look for anything that supports your claims. For example, consider the following:  If you have documents that show fraud, keep a copy of them. For example, someone might not report income from a bank account. If you have a copy of the bank statement, hold onto it. Write down your own memories or observations. You are a witness to any fraud. Try to be as detailed as possible. Collect the names of witnesses. Other people might have first-hand knowledge of the fraud, and you can give the IRS their names and contact information. Avoid breaking the law. For example, you shouldn’t open someone’s mail, log onto their computer, or steal files. If you don’t have documents in your possession, you can tell the IRS where they can find them. You will report suspected fraud to the IRS by filling out a form. You can download these forms from the IRS website or order by calling 1-800-829-0433. You need to use the right form, which will depend on the violation you are reporting:   Form 3949-A. Use this form to report a business or individual of violating the tax laws. Common examples include failure to pay, kickbacks, false deductions or exemptions, not reporting income, and altering or falsifying tax documents.  Form 14157. Use this form to report an abusive tax scheme or fraud perpetrated by a tax return preparer or tax preparation company. Also use this form (and Form 14157-A) if you think the preparer altered your form without your consent.  Form 14039. Complete this form if someone stole your identity and used your Social Security Number for a job. Also use this form if you suspect someone could file a tax return using your number.  Form 14242. Use this form to report an abusive tax promoter or promotion.  Form 13909. Submit this form if you suspect wrongdoing by an exempt organization or employee plan. You should also download or request the instructions for any form you fill out. Read the instructions thoroughly and refer back to them as you fill out your...

Reúne evidencias del fraude. Identifica el formulario que debes usar. Lee las instrucciones. Completa el formulario. Decide si quieres presentar una denuncia anónima. Presenta el formulario.


The more in-control your child is over her nighttime environment, the less likely it is she will be afraid of monsters. Recognize and reward your child when she faces her fears, like when you investigate the closet together. Try doing this together every night and, as she becomes less anxious, have her search the closet on her own, but while you are still in the room. Practice building bravery slowly and gradually.  When your child successfully faces her fears, praise and encourage her bravery. For instance, you could say something like: "Whoa! You are so brave! You checked that closet all by yourself; I bet you could handle any scary situation!" or "I'm proud of you for spending the whole night in your own room!"  It may be helpful to come up with a plan for what to do if you aren't there, such as when your child wakes from a nightmare. This plan might include teaching your child calming techniques, such as breathing deeply (ask her to imagine filling her lungs like a balloon, then let the balloon deflate), or visualization (she can imagine she is somewhere else that is calming and soothing, such as floating on a cloud. Your child can use a stuffed animal as a tangible reminder that he is safe. Tell your child to squeeze or stroke the animal when he is scared and focus on how soft, warm, and safe the stuffed animal is. This helps teach your child to self-soothe.  Assign the animal a job: to remind your child that monsters aren't real. Tell your child that, whenever he is scared, he can touch the animal to remind her of what is real. He can say, "This stuffed animal is real. Monsters are not real." It may also be helpful to use visualization again. Your child could imagine that mom, dad, or an older sibling is right there in the room with her. Instead of focusing on the monsters, focus instead on what will make the child feel safe. A night light? Leaving the door open? Brainstorm with your child to find a solution that will not encourage her fear.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dale al niño un sentimiento de control. Dale a tu hijo un compañero. Habla con tu hijo sobre lo que lo hará sentirse seguro.


The more like-minded people you meet, the greater your chances of those people being or introducing you to the woman of your dreams. Besides co-ed leagues, you might take a class at a community center in an area you've been interested, like:  Cooking Creative writing Dance Photography Painting Stand-up comedy Having a shared history can form a strong bond between you and your potential future wife. You might reconnect with an old friend or classmate at reunions or through Facebook. Glance through profiles and alumni announcements, see where your childhood acquaintances are, and consider reaching out to a few you think you might pair well with. Having a shared background, it should be relatively easy suggesting to her that you catch up over some coffee, or maybe grab a bite to eat. Weddings are joyful gatherings where many invitees thoughts turn toward their own marital status, making weddings a great event to find a marriage oriented partner. Invite single women you meet at weddings to dance, and then when the night is over, give her your card and suggest meeting up again. Volunteer work has many health benefits, like lessening chronic pain and decreasing your chances of heart disease, but will also put you in contact with like minded individuals. This usually translates to a strong base upon which you can build a relationship and, from there, a marriage. You might find your wife-to-be volunteering at:  A community garden. A local community event, like a festival. A community betterment project, like a community clean-up. The kind of events you're likely to go to will also attract women who hold similar interests. Most people go to these kind of gatherings for the purpose of socialization, which could make it easier for you to find your match. If you are shy and think you might have difficulty going it alone, you might:  Meet women at a community cookout Socialize with the fairer sex at local music/art shows Attend community festivals and celebrations

TL;DR in Spanish:

Únete a un equipo mixto de deportes o toma una clase. Reconéctate con las personas de tu infancia. Acepta las invitaciones de bodas. Conoce mujeres a través de un voluntariado. Asiste a eventos de tu comunidad.


The more loosely you’re bound, the easier it will be for you to escape. Resist letting your captors tie you as tightly as possible. For example, if your wrists are being tied in front of you, hold your knuckles from both hands together, and pull your hands in towards your chest. Although it looks like you’re cooperating, this gesture will create a gap between your wrists.  Alternatively, you can present your hands to be tied with both hands in front of you, crossed at the wrist. Rotate your lower wrist about 45 degrees while you’re being tied, so that, once the ropes are tight, you can straighten out your wrist and loosen the rope.  Make a lot of noise. Most people deep down do not want to inflict more discomfort or suffering than necessary. Cry out in pain--even if you are not. Complain. Let the tears flow. Talk to them and try to manipulate them. Make it mentally more difficult to tighten those bonds tighter. Make the task difficult. Most people are not experts in rope tying, knots, and techniques. Usually the average person without formal training (such as a person proficient in working with cattle) does not do an adequate job. If you are thrashing around, resisting, and generally being a physical challenge the task is all that much more difficult. If more than just your wrists or ankles are being bound, this will help you escape. When your muscles are tensed, they expand and take up more room than when they’re relaxed. This will make your body larger, while your captors are tying you tightly. Consequently, when you relax your muscles, your body will shrink slightly and the ropes will be looser, giving your more room to move and eventually escape.  This is a technique used by most escape artists and allows the ropes to be slightly looser when you relax you muscles. If captors are tying a rope around your chest, take a deep breath and expand your lungs as much as possible. If you can make a loose spot big enough to do so, slip out of it. Once your captors have turned their backs or left the room you’re in,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Utiliza una postura que evite que te amarren con demasiada fuerza. Tensa todos los músculos mientras te amarran. Retuerce las cuerdas alrededor de las manos. Trata de cortar las cuerdas alrededor de las muñecas. Quítate los zapatos antes de liberar los pies y las piernas. Planifica con cuidado el momento de escape.


The more mentors you can get a hold of, the better. You'll gain a clearer understanding of what it's like to be a nun and the different communities and lifestyles you could soon be a part of. If you don't have access to a group, go to your parish and seek out information from your priest or those active in your church community. There are three general types of religious communities to choose from: contemplative communities and traditional and non-traditional apostolic communities.  Contemplative communities focus on prayer. Their lifestyles are more serene, meditative, and insular than their apostolic counterparts. Traditional apostolic communities work in education and healthcare. Many nuns can be found teaching in area schools or helping at hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Non-traditional communities also do service for others, but can be found working with the homeless, incarcerated, or those with HIV/AIDS. The last place you thought would be on the edge of technology would be convents, but even they're stepping it up! Some even have songs to download and blogs to read!  Vision Vocation Network is a Chicago-based network that is leading the "virtual discernment" phenomenon. Their counterpart is Vision, the magazine.  Vision Vocation Match helps those in discernment find communities that are right for them. Think of it as online dating, but for to-be-sisters and brothers looking for the right "home."  Catholics on Call is also based out of Chicago and holds retreats and workshops to meet and network with other prospective candidates and seasoned experts on the sisterly scene.  Out of New York City is the Sisters of Life. The vocation director will respond directly to your email if you're curious about what you see on their site. Hundreds do it each year.  A Nun's Life is a blog that is aimed at women in the thinking stages of becoming a nun. It does a good job of spelling out the process, requirements, and details of, well, a nun's life. Once you've started networking in person and online, you'll...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Habla con monjas. Investiga en Internet. Asiste a un fin de semana religioso en alguna comunidad religiosa local. Entra en contacto con una comunidad específica. Trabaja con una directora de vocaciones.


The more often you brush your dog's teeth, the more it will get accustomed to your hands in and around its mouth. This will make brushing easier over time.  Brushing your dog's teeth every day is ideal. It will help to prevent periodontal disease that can lead to pain and dangerous infections.  If your dog has loose teeth, seems sensitive around its mouth, or is bleeding orally, consult a veterinarian before you continue brushing.  Start slowly and try to work up to daily brushing. If you are unable to brush every day, try to brush as often as possible.

TL;DR in Spanish:


The more often you wash your hair, the more you strip it of its moisture. This results in dry, brittle hair. You should wash your hair every 7 to 10 days, but you can get away with washing it once every 14 days. This will help prevent dryness and product buildup.  If you can't find a shampoo and conditioner meant for ethnic hair, try to use a moisturizing shampoo meant for dry hair. Follow up with a moisturizing conditioner.  If you must wash your hair more often, dilute your shampoo with 50% water and 50% shampoo. This is also known as "co-washing." It will help moisturize your hair, and keep it manageable. Co-washing is especially great for natural curls, as it keeps the hair less frizzy, more defined, and better moisturized. You can help further seal the moisture in with a natural oil of your choosing.  Step things up a bit by using a deep conditioning mask once a week to twice a month. Focus the conditioner on the ends of your hair; avoid applying it to your scalp. Applying conditioner to your scalp will cause your hair to appear greasy. It will also weigh down your strands. Oils like grape seed oil, are more easily absorbed by hair than products like lanolin, which will only clog and weigh hair down. Lightweight oils will moisturize your hair and make it shiny, but they won't weight it down. Silicones are great for making hair nice and smooth, but they can only be removed with sulfates, a harsh cleaning agent that leads to dry hair. If you don't remove the silicones from your hair properly, your hair will get too much build-up, and end up looking dull, greasy, and lanky. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to make your hair nice and silky without using silicones, including nourishing masks and coconut oil. These products are easily washed out of your hair, without any dryness or brittleness. Organic products are strictly regulated from farming to harvesting. This means that ingredients such as avocado, coconut, and shea were grown without the use of toxic chemicals, antibiotics, and pesticides that are...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lávate el cabello una vez cada semana o cada dos semanas. Considera lavarte el cabello con acondicionador cada 3 a 5 días. Usa un acondicionador humectante con aceites esenciales ligeros. No uses productos que contengan siliconas ni sulfatos. Considera usar productos con ingredientes orgánicos en vez de productos con ingredientes naturales.


The more people you come into contact with, the higher possibility to engage in intelligent and informative conversations where you can gain additional knowledge. Since people enjoy informative yet casual conversations on interesting topics, we tend to retain this knowledge better.   Cultivate friendships with intelligent, educated, and experienced people. These friendships will produce stimulating conversations on a variety of topics exposing you to new ideas, perspectives, and understandings. Try to meet up for coffee or tea once a week and discuss anything new you learned or talk about current affairs. Although audiobooks are no substitution for reading, they do permit the listener to gain access to a wealth of general knowledge while performing other tasks like commuting to work or exercising. Audiobooks will also help to increase your vocabulary, a different way to process information, and the ability to achieve a higher level of understanding.   Audiobooks often include commentary by the author, providing you with additional insight to how ideas formed for the book or reasoning behind certain scenes. This information will not only expand your general knowledge on the content of the book but also the writing process and author’s thoughts. You can buy, rent, or borrow audiobooks from a host of places. Instead of listening to music everywhere you go, try to substitute a good audiobook from time to time in your daily commute or exercise time. Listening to professionals conducting the seminar or conference will provide you the general knowledge presented a topic. This is important because the presenter is speaking professionally about the methods, approaches, and experiences they encountered while formulating an analysis that took several years to conduct and yield results.   Although you attend a seminar or conference to listen to professional individuals, make sure you take notes. Listening will help you grasp the information while writing it down will help you to retain it. Listen for the main ideas of...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Socializa con amigos, colegas y profesionales. Compra audiolibros. Asiste a un seminario o conferencia. Únete a un grupo social o a un club de lectura.


The more platforms you use, the more exposure you will get and the more connections you will make. Set up accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.  You may have personal accounts set up already, but consider making separate accounts—like a Fan Page on Facebook—specifically for your artist profile. If you like to write, consider blogging. It’s a great way for your fans to get a more in-depth look of your journey. With over 1 billion site visits per month, having your own YouTube channel is an easy way to get yourself more exposure by reaching a global audience. Once you create your channel, share it with your family and friends and on your social media accounts. Ask everyone you know to support you by sharing your link as well. Visit a professional recording studio or make your own home studio to record a few of your best songs. You can put your demo on CDs, flash drives, or an online playlist. Give your demo to club DJs, local radio stations, and recording studios and labels. Sharing your music digitally will give people across the world access to stream, download, and purchase your music. You can even get paid royalties for it!  LANDR, CD Baby, Ditto Music, Record Union, Reverbnation, and iMusician are a few distributors you can look into. Each company has different terms of service and fees, so it’s important that you educate yourself about which service will be the best for you. Handing someone a business card has a different feel than just giving out your phone number. Plus, once someone puts your number in their phone, who’s to say they will remember who you are afterwards? A good business card will have your contact information as well as what you do, and will make you stand out as a prepared professional. You can design and make your own business cards at home or through a local or online print company.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Establécete una presencia sólida en las redes sociales. Crea tu propio canal de YouTube y publica allí con regularidad. Elabora una maqueta musical para promocionarte a nivel local. Comparte tu música mediante una plataforma en línea de distribución de música. Elabora tus propias tarjetas de presentación para poder entregarlas en donde sea necesario.


The more potential applicants you reach, the greater the odds of finding excellent and committed teachers for your school. Many schools make the mistake of running a limited search, but you are much better off casting a wide net. In addition to the standard school and district job postings, consider:  online job boards that are specific to education, like School Spring and Education America online job boards that serve all career fields, like Indeed and Monster classified sections in local newspapers classified sections in nearby metropolitan newspapers job boards at local and regional colleges and universities, at least those that grant teaching degrees Job fairs attract large numbers of potential teachers, so make the most of them! Hold your own, and be sure to participate in existing local and regional job fairs for teachers. In general, teaching salaries tend to be low, so it’s important to let potential applicants know what else your school offers. Make sure your advertisements feature information about health insurance, salary supplements, and retirement benefits. The best teachers are often looking for a positive work environment and a school that values its educators. Offer examples of ways that your school and district support teachers, including mentorship programs, development opportunities, and a collaborative approach to learning. Determine which campuses in your area offer teacher preparation programs, and strive to develop a positive working relationship with those schools. It can take some time and effort to build this kind of relationship, but doing so will help you attract new teachers who are looking for their first jobs.  Have your current faculty and administrators participate in workshops and lectures on these campuses. Pair education majors with mentors from your school. Make sure to participate in the colleges’ and universities’ student teaching programs. Consider taking a more long-term approach to recruitment by encouraging teenagers to explore careers in education. These programs...

No escatimes en publicidad. Participa en ferias de trabajo. Resalta los paquetes de beneficios y los complementos salariales. Promociona a tu escuela. Crea una sociedad con las universidades. Establece programas de reclutamiento con escuelas intermedias y secundarias.


The more prepared you are for a debate, the better you'll do. If you really want to guarantee a win as much as possible, do your research. When you know a topic backwards and forwards and from all angles, you'll be much better prepared to counter any argument your opponent might dream up. It's especially important to know the most common arguments for and against both sides of the issue. When you know what your opponent is likely to emphasize, you'll be able to explain why that's wrong. Avoid making websites like Wikipedia your main source of information. It's a good place to start but you should fill in your facts from sources that are experts in whatever topic you're trying to cover. For example, if you're going to debate about economics, don't quote a Wikipedia fact. Quote Alberto Alesina, one of the economics professors at Harvard and co-editor of a major academic journal on the topic. Logical fallacies are when the line of reasoning that someone uses is wrong. Even though the conclusion might be right, the way of getting there is wrong. This can be used to shed doubt on their conclusion, making your argument look better. There are lots of different kinds of logical fallacies and you'll want to study each one individually in order to learn to recognize and counter it. By pointing out logical fallacies in your opponent's argument, you force them to either accept them and reduce the credibility of their argument, or use their precious time to try and argue that their argument isn't illogical.  One of the most common examples of a logical fallacy is called "ad hominem", and is about attacking the person making the argument rather than the argument itself. This is often seen in politics. Think of it like "this guy is a jerk" vs. "there is no evidence that this plan will work". Another common logical fallacy is called "black or white". This is when an argument is presented as having only two options, with the outcome they want being presented as the best one. This ignores middle ground and other routes, which...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz una investigación. Busca falacias lógicas. Busca debilidades en el argumento de tu oponente. Mantén el curso del tema.


The more programs you have on your computer, the slower it will run. By deleting unnecessary programs, you can easily improve the efficiency of your device. Navigate to the "Uninstall Programs section. In windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10, these settings are all in different places. You may have to search for the option if you don't see it immediately. This will allow you to filter through your programs and find the ones you have not used in a while. When you find a program that you no longer want, click Uninstall. (Be careful, if you don't know what something is, look it up first, often times some applications are necessary to run games.)

TL;DR in Spanish:

Desinstala programas viejos. Abre el Panel de control de tu computadora. Haz clic en la pestaña "Organización" y selecciona "Se utilizó por última vez". Desinstala los programas que no uses.


The more sensitive the plant is to changes in heat, the less likely you will be able to grow other plants in the same section.  A cool house is a greenhouse designed to keep plants from freezing. It is ideal for temporary greenhouses. A hot house is a greenhouse designed to keep plants in tropical temperatures. You will need to choose what the temperature will be and keep it steady. It is not possible to create different zones in an open greenhouse. Ideally it should be supplied by hose water and cisterns. Slatted tables can be used in the meantime, since they will allow water to drain through the table and into the gravel. If possible, construct the beds to the primary gardener’s height to limit ergonomic problems.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Estudia las condiciones de cultivo para las plantas que deseas cultivar. Asegúrate de tener una fuente de agua estable. Construye lechos elevados dentro de tu invernadero.


The more stressed out you are, the harder it’ll be to get your work done. Don’t be angry with yourself. Move on and focus on what you’ve got to do instead. Guilt and regret are draining emotions. Wasting time yelling at yourself for not starting that 2,000-word essay two weeks ago will only make you extra tired and frustrated. It will also stress you out, likely making it impossible for you to finish your assignment at that time. Instead of thinking about the total number of hours you’re about to work for, just start. Tell yourself you’ve only got to do it for 15 minutes. This will deal with the intimidation factor, and you’ll likely spend much longer than 15 minutes on your task before you stop working again.  If 15 minutes still sounds too intimidating, do something for just 3 minutes.  Once you come up for air, take a two-minute break. Then start up on another set of 15 minutes of work. It can be overwhelming to think about finishing a whole essay or getting through an entire week’s worth of tasks. Instead of thinking about everything you have to do like one big obstacle, break it all down into tiny pieces. You’ll be able to get started on the smallest crumb and go forward from there.  For example, instead of thinking, “I need to finish this essay by 10 PM tonight,” tell yourself, “I’m going to make a short outline, fill that in, and then look for quotes.” Consider trying a specific technique like pomodoro, where breaks happen at planned intervals.  Avoid making a long, disorganized to-do list. This is just setting yourself up for failure. Instead, create subcategories like "Home," "Work," "Family," and "Fun" and just try to cross off a few entries from each list every day. Make yourself a plan in the morning and pick the hardest task first. You’ll be most energized in the morning once you’ve eaten breakfast and woken up fully. Tackle the hardest thing on your docket right then. You’ll feel better once it’s done, and then you can move on to a few easier tasks for the rest of the day. Figure out when you...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Deja de castigarte por postergar. Abócate a la tarea más importante por 15 minutos. Divide tus tarea en porciones más pequeñas. Empieza tu día con las tareas más pesadas. Date palabras de ánimo para motivarte. Buscar terminar algo, no hacerlo a la perfección. Prométete darte un premio cuando lo termines.


The more time you have to practice your speech, the more prepared you'll feel, and as a result, the less nervous you'll feel.  One guideline for the amount of time to spend on preparing a speech is one to two hours for every minute you'll be speaking.  For example, you might want to devote 5 to 10 hours of prep time for a 5-minute speech.  Of course, that includes ALL of your preparation from start to finish; your rehearsal would be just a portion of that time. Leave yourself time to practice.   If you're given to procrastinating, you could find yourself with very little or no time to practice before you deliver your speech, which could leave you feeling unprepared and anxious. Whenever possible, give your speech in front of family members and friends.  If you want their feedback, give them specific guidelines for what you'd like them to comment on so that you don't feel overwhelmed by helpful notes.   Look at your audience.  Almost nothing does more to keep an audience engaged than eye contact from a speaker.  As you rehearse your speech, be sure to look at the family members or friends who've agreed to be your audience.  It takes a bit of practice to be able to look at your outline, script or note cards, capture a thought or two and then come up and deliver that information while looking at your audience.  It's yet another reason why rehearsal time is so important. If you don't have the opportunity to practice in front of people, be sure that when you do rehearse, that you say your speech aloud.  You don't want your speech day to be the first time you hear the words of your speech coming out of your mouth.  Plus, speaking out loud gives you a chance to double-check and correct any mispronunciations, practice articulating your words clearly and confirm the timing of your speech (We speak more quickly when we simply recite a speech in our heads). One thing rehearing your speech allows you to do is to make any necessary changes.  If it's running too long, you have to cut some material.  If it's too short or...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Date bastante tiempo. Practica enfrente de alguien. Ábrete a los cambios.


The more you can leave at home, the lighter your luggage will be. Check with your hotel ahead of time for a list of what will be provided. Most accommodations provide clothes irons, shampoo, conditioner, soap and/or shower gel. Some locations provide hair dryers, sewing kits, cotton balls, cotton swabs, and hand/body lotion. If you’re staying with friends or relatives, ask what they have on hand and if they’re willing to share. As a friendly gesture, offer to repay them with a meal, movie ticket, gift card, etc. Even if you're not flying, opt for travel-sized containers. Pack them in an easily accessible pocket or compartment in your laptop bag or purse. If you are flying, this will make the security check easier.

The more you drink, the more you increase your risk of breast cancer.  If you choose to drink alcohol, including wine, beer, or liquor, take steps to limit your consumption to no more than one drink per day. For every drink you have each day, statistics show that you are increasing your risk by 10% to 12% over those that do not drink.  The reasons behind the increased odds of breast cancer associated with all forms of alcohol are not clear, but there has been an association between blood alcohol levels and changes in the amounts of estrogens and other hormones that circulate in the blood. If you are a smoker, then take steps to quit. If you are a non-smoker, then don’t ever start.  Smoking has been linked to many forms of cancer and recent evidence is now suggesting it also increases the risk of developing breast cancer. The research found that you have a 24% higher risk of getting breast cancer if you smoke. Former smokers have a 13% higher risk of getting cancer compared to those that never smoked. Another study supports those numbers and adds that women who started smoking at an early age have a 12% increase in their odds of getting breast cancer. Women that started smoking before their first pregnancy have a 21% increase in risk. This may all sound like risk factors that you can’t control based on your smoking history, but you can control what you do now to decrease your odds. If you are a smoker, take steps to quit. Being overweight has been shown to increase your risk of breast cancer.  The odds of breast cancer are even greater if the weight gain, or obesity, developed after menopause. Women that gained their weight after menopause have a 30% to 60% higher risk of developing breast cancer.  Oddly, women that were overweight or obese before menopause have a 20% to 40% less likely to develop breast cancer compared to women of healthy weight. The reasons behind the weight changes and timing are not entirely clear but are thought to be related to hormonal fluctuations. There are many benefits to being...

The more you find your interests and do them and are happy about it, the more likely people are to also find you interesting. Don't be scared to have a conversation about your hobbies, but don't hog the conversation either. If you're sweating meeting new people, if you're thinking about how awkward, lame, and embarrassing your last comment about ferrets was and how these people are never going to want to see you again, it will show. The solution? Stop. People are generally harmless and too wrapped up in what they're saying to notice much else. If you never see them again, it is not the end of the world. There are many other people on this planet looking for friends, too. e friendly. If you're not out there being friendly, people will assume that you're just not interested in being friends. Most humans are pretty easily intimidated and like a sure thing; if you're not receptive, warm, and give off those friendly approach-me vibes, they won't come knocking on your door.

The more you know, the more motivated you’re likely to feel. There are plenty of websites about the importance of good dental hygiene. Find reasons that are personally compelling to you. Here are some examples:  Brushing your teeth daily helps prevent cavities. Cavities can make eating painful, and are costly to get filled. A cavity that grows too big due to negligence can require a root canal, which costs an average of $900.  If a tooth gets so bad that it’s unable to be saved, it may need to be pulled. When a tooth is pulled, the teeth and jaw around that spot become weaker over time and the bone suffers resorption. Forces on your teeth will change and an entire series of problems will occur. If your teeth are sensitive to hot or cold, a toothpaste for sensitive teeth can help change that. These toothpastes contain minerals that help protect the nerves in the teeth and make them less sensitive. Brushing your teeth doesn’t just affect your mouth. Good dental hygiene has been linked to other benefits as well:  Poor dental hygiene can be linked to respiratory diseases, like pneumonia and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). These diseases can be quite serious, and good dental hygiene can help prevent them. Poor dental hygiene leads to gum disease, or gingivitis. Gingivitis has been linked with an increased risk of preterm birth in pregnant women. Periodontitis, which follows gingivitis, can be linked to heart disease and this creates a constant level of bacteria in the circulatory system. Oral bacteria have also been linked to knee arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in a 2012 study. Taking care of your teeth also leads to a better-looking smile. Compare images of people with healthy teeth to those who’ve neglected their teeth. The difference is likely to be a great motivator.  Find strong visuals that will leave an impact on you. Some people may be missing teeth or have yellowed, cracked, or blackened teeth. Without daily brushing, your teeth could eventually look like this as well. Dentists have seen...

The more you play the more comfortable you’ll be with the game and the more intuition you’ll develop. It’s much easier to anticipate moves if you have seen them before. Play as much as possible. If you can’t find people to play with you can always play online. Many websites have free Chinese checkers available. Set the computer difficulty to a setting that is appropriate for your skill level. This may seem silly, but if you are playing against yourself you’ll force yourself to think about the counters to every single move that you normally make. If you play against yourself, you’ll be aware of the ways that you can counter your opponent. You will also be aware of the ways that they can counter your favorite moves when you play for real.

The more you play, the more squad points that you earn. Try creating different load outs that let you create unique soldiers. Each loadout has its strengths and weaknesses which are determined by a weapon’s range, rate of fire and accuracy. Change to a different loadout that would work against specific enemy players. You can change your loadout during a game. While you are dead you can bring up your “Options” menu by pressing the Start, Option or Menu button on your controller or the Esc key on the PC version then choose “Change Loadout” and select from your preset loadouts. In the corner of the screen, the mini-map will show locations that indicate the positions of other players as well as provide a tactical view of the map you are playing on. The location of enemy players will change based on the sights of your team if they are able to see opposing players. This can be useful to flank other players by approaching them from a different path.  In tactical game modes, it will also show the location of domination points, flags or other targets that are important to the game mode. By taking advantage of the Sat COMs perk, you can instantly reveal the location of opposing players within a certain range. However the enemy team can also make use of perks such as the Wiretap to hijack your Sat COMs to work in their favor. While it is useful to cover ground as quickly as possible, it does reduce your ability to ready a shot or melee attack an opposing player, leaving you vulnerable to attack. Run in short spurts and avoid running around corners. Line up to the sides of a wall or behind a barrier to avoid being left in the open as this makes it easy for other players to target you, especially those on higher ground. This is commonly referred to as camping. It is possible to line up shots easily by sitting in one spot and waiting for unsuspecting players, especially for players using sniper rifles. Players will be alerted to your position once they are killed in one of several ways, for example a downed player will...

The more you practice the better your relative pitch will become. You also need to practice consistently. Practicing every single day one week and then only practicing twice the next week is not good practice.  It would be better to have short sessions every day of the week. Try to do 10 minutes of training each day. This is the absolute minimum. If your sessions are too long, you run the risk of overtraining. Your ears will become tired, and you won't be able to hear the notes as you normally would. If your ears get tired or you are no longer progressing in your training session, take a break or stop for the day. A training session may consist of 15 minutes of listening and singing chords and 15 minutes of interval and chord practice with your instrument. Ear training should be part of your life no matter how good you get. Be sure to spend enough time on each skill instead of going back and forth. Write down a study plan that you will follow. Your study plan should include the skill you plan to work on and the length of the training period.  For example, you may spend January and February learning major intervals using reference songs, and then spend March and April learning minor intervals using reference songs. Using computer software like Earmaster and Transcribe can also help you outline your sessions and track your progress.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Practica todos los días. Establece un límite de tiempo para las sesiones. Enfócate en una habilidad a la vez.


The more you read, the more you will be inspired to write. You will begin to naturally pick up rules of grammar and new writing styles. You will become more familiar with different styles, genres, and literary devices. By getting a sense of what sort of writing you like, you will begin to develop your own writing style.

Even academic essays can benefit from the use of appropriate literary devices.  Theme: A common thread or idea that is appears throughout a literary work. Symbolism: An object, character, or color that is used to represent an important idea or concept. Dramatic Irony: Irony that occurs when the meaning of the situation is understood by the audience but not by the characters. Try to write using a variety of locations and tools. For example, try using a notebook and pen at a coffee shop, or typing on your laptop at home. In fact, writing with a paper and pen will make you less likely to copy, and more likely to paraphrase. Try composing a personal diary entry or a letter to a friend. All of these methods will help you to further develop your own writing style, as...

The most affordable tuna, Albacore tuna is characterized by its pale, white flesh and its low-fat content. Albacore tuna has the lightest flesh and the mildest flavor, so it is a great family choice. Albacore does have a mercury level three times as high as that of Skipjack tuna, so pregnant women and young children should limit their intake. The most prized for its flavor, Bluefin tuna is also the most expensive. Bluefin tuna is well-known for its dark ruby-red color, high fat content, strong flavor and silky texture. The largest tuna variety, when the fish is mature the dark-red steak has an appearance similar to raw beef. It is perfect for a seared steak. While Bluefin tuna is often chosen for its strong flavor and silky texture, be aware that many Bluefin species are critically endangered due to overfishing. Also known as ahi, the pale pink Yellowfin and Bigeye tuna are less expensive than the red Bluefin. Both Yellowfin and Bigeye tuna can be eaten raw. Their light texture and mild taste make the Yellowfin and Bigeye ideal for sashimi. Making up more than 70 percent of the American canned tuna market, Skipjack tuna is an abundant and widely-fished tuna species. Unlike its overfished cousins the Bluefin and Albacore, the Skipjack is a relatively small tuna that is known as one of the more ecologically sustainable tuna species. Skipjack tuna has a bold flavor, so its steak suits robust sauces and garnishes.

The most basic and common way to eat muesli is just as you would eat a bowl of cereal, adding about a half cup of your favorite milk to an equal helping of muesli in a bowl.  Instead of milk, try your favorite brand of plain yoghurt (or flavoured if your prefer extra sweetness) for probiotic benefits and a different flavor and texture. Try heating the milk, then letting the muesli soak for a few minutes in the hot milk to soften it slightly, making it a bit more like oatmeal. You can also pour cold milk over the cereal in a microwave safe bowl, then heat the whole mixture in the microwave. Like cereal, it's also great to snack on all by itself. Just snack on it like granola. If you want to lively up your bowl of muesli, try chopping up a quarter-cup or so of your favorite fresh fruit, or adding some frozen fruit for a cold treat. Any of the following work great with muesli:  Sliced banana Blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries Kiwi Strawberries (the seeds work especially well as they add an extra sour crunch) Pork Scratchings (ideal if you want a more savoury muesli) Diced apple Chopped pear Sliced mango Lychees work especially well as they add a crisp sour flavour, which can't be topped Pomegranate seeds Dried fruits or berries are often a component of some muesli recipes already, but if you want to add some extra or add some to a more plain muesli that you've made, all of the following work well:  Cranberries Apricot Goji berries Raisins or sultanas Currants One excellent method of changing up the texture of your muesli is to soak it overnight in milk, yoghurt, or another softener of your choice. Add equal parts of muesli and milk to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, or a lid, and refrigerate overnight. This can turn the muesli into a cold porridge type mixture that many people really enjoy. Coconut milk makes for a great soaking mixture, adding gentle sweetness and subtle flavor to the muesli. If you're not crazy about the taste, you could also mix it in with a little milk to make it more palatable. If...

The most basic and straightforward of all the closing tactics, a direct close is simply asking for your customer’s final answer. Although it doesn’t have to be blunt, you are looking for the response to your single sale only. To do  this, you close your sale with an offer for a discount or additional product at a reduced price. This will not only help to solidify your current sale, but possibly gain you additional sales as well. If your client seems interested in your product, remove their hesitation by offering a test period for your product. This could be a number of days or a sample of whatever it is you’re selling. If they get a chance to use it and find it has value for them, you’ve secured your sale and opened the possibility of more in the future. In this, you show that purchasing your product is the only good outcome. You show how not buying from you may be detrimental in the long run, or how similar product or services don’t have nearly as high of standing as yours does. Close by demonstrating how much your product or service costs on a daily basis. This number will likely be low and seem very reasonable to your client, inciting their interest in purchasing it from you. Show that by purchasing your product or service, your audience is particularly intelligent, logical, helpful, et cetera. This will give them a self-esteem boost, leaving you both on a high note.

Utiliza un cierre directo. Haz un trato o un cierre concesionario. Da una oferta de prueba. Utiliza un cierre de ultimátum. Muestra un costo diario. Haz un cierre adulador.


The most basic thing you should do to impress people? Do something. Anything. Getting up off the couch is the most basic step. This is something that is really hard for people, and when they see you going to the gym, taking your girlfriend on exciting weekend dates, and traveling every summer, they'll be impressed. What's even better is if you pick up new skills, either for fun or for work. Whatever you do to get yourself up and actively living your life, get really good at that thing. Practice. Become a pro. This is incredibly impressive to people, even if your skill or passion is a bit niche. Of course, most people think they're working hard. If you're one of those, work harder. If you're of the opinion that you should get everything you want without really working hard at all, then we need to talk because that is a terrible way to go through life and it will not make people very impressed with you. People like someone with a strong work ethic. It makes you look more capable, even when you're not. Someone who is generous is also impressive to most people. Find ways to help others, especially by doing things like volunteering. You should also clearly be offering your help for the sake of helping, not for personal gain. This means helping even when you think no one is paying attention. Believe us, it'll come back around. If you want to impress someone with a trait you are proud of, you need to do it in a productive way. You don't want to seem like that mid-life crisis guy that thinks he's impressing people but really just gets pitied.  Show off your wealth. If you want to show off how much money you have, don't do it by buying a bunch of stuff you don't need. Instead, give money to charity or bunch lunch for the homeless guy outside your building every day. Show off your strength. If you want to show off how strong or manly you are, do it by protecting those that can't protect themselves. Show off your intelligence. If you want to show off how smart you are, do it by offering to help people with assignments,...

The most basic way of saying no without ruining anyone else's day is to clearly and plainly say “no,” followed by a brief, succinct reason why you said no. Contrary to popular belief, there's no need to lie or make up an excuse if you don't feel yours is good enough – remember, everyone has felt the same way you do right now. If you just don't feel like granting a request, that's all the excuse you need. No specific, concrete, or logical reason is required.  For example, if someone asks you on a date and you aren't interested, the right thing to do is to simply say “No; I'm sorry but I'm not interested in you in that way.” That's all the other person needs to know to understand he or she has no further chance. There's no need to make up excuses that will only string the other person along; there's no need to be insulting and rude to drive him or her away. Chances are, if your honest reason seems silly or practically nonexistent – for example, “I was really hoping to go home and take a nap;” “I just don't feel like it” – the other person will, in fact, understand completely. If he or she doesn't, just remember: managing his or her reaction isn't your responsibility. As long as you've been civil, that's all you can do. This is the technique you should try to use most often. Your honesty and forthrightness will actually improve your reputation over time, rather than damage it. If you've had trouble saying no to things like peer pressure in the past, you'll be amazed at how little it actually bothers most people when you simply tell them you won't go along with something because you aren't comfortable with it. Sometimes, you've got to say no for your own good, but that doesn't mean you aren't interested. For instance, let's say you work all weekend, but a friend has asked you to help her move into a new apartment on Saturday. If you'd like to participate but you can't, make another offer, with terms you can manage. Suggest spending less time helping out, or offer to do something else in a similar vein when you...

The most common abrasives including baking soda and cream of tartar. Alternatively, you could also use half of a lemon and a little salt.  Combine 1 to 2 Tbsp (15 to 30 ml) of lemon juice with 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 ml) of baking soda. The mixture should fizz at first, but gradually calm down once you stir it together.  Mix 1 Tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice with 2 Tbsp (30 ml) cream of tartar, combining the two together to form an evenly thick paste. If using lemon and salt, cut a lemon in half and remove the seeds from one half. Coat the cut surface with table salt until well-coated. Use a soft cloth or your fingers to wipe the lemon paste onto the surface of the brass, coating it completely. Rub the paste on in a single direction for best results.  Use a soft cotton or terrycloth rag for best results. A lemon-and-baking-soda paste only needs to sit for a few minutes, but a lemon-and-cream-of-tartar paste should sit on the brass for about 30 minutes. If going the lemon-and-salt route, rub the salt-covered lemon half over the entire surface of the brass. Apply more salt to the lemon as needed until the entire brass surface has been polished. Place the brass under lukewarm running water and gently wipe the residue away with your fingers. If parts of the brass still seem dull, you can reapply the lemon solution of choice to that area for additional shine. Wipe the brass dry with a soft, clean towel. Apply even pressure in small, circular passes to give the brass an extra buffing.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Combina jugo de limón ácido con un abrasivo ligero. Aplica el jugo de limón al latón. Enjuaga los residuos. Seca y pule con un trapo seco.


The most common cause of infant suffocation is choking. You need to assess the situation to determine if the airway is completely blocked or only partially blocked.  If the baby is coughing or gagging, the airway is partially blocked. Let the baby continue to cough, as this is the best way to dislodge the blockage. If the baby is not able to cough and begins to turn bright red or blue, the airway is completely blocked. You will need to perform back blows and chest compressions to dislodge the blockage. If your baby is ill, having an allergic reaction, or is suffocating because the airway is swollen, you can perform chest compressions and rescue breaths, but you will need to call local emergency services immediately. Position the baby so that she is face-up on one forearm. Cradle the back of his/her head with the hand of the same forearm. Place your other forearm over the baby's front and gently turn his/her over so that she is face-down, remaining sandwiched in between your arms the entire time.  Use your thumb and fingers to hold the jaw as you turn the baby. Lower your bottom arm onto your thigh. The baby's head should be lower than his/her chest. Note that back blows should only be delivered if the baby is still conscious. If the baby falls unconscious, skip the back blows and proceed straight to the chest compressions and rescue breaths. Use the heel of your dominant hand to deliver five gentle yet distinct back blows in between the baby's shoulder blades.  Continue to support the baby's neck and head by holding his jaw between your thumb and forefingers. Giving CPR to a baby is often walking a fine line between being effective and causing injury. However, a minor musculoskeletal injury is a small price to pay for saving a life. After delivering the gentle back blows, place your free hand on the back of the baby's head, resting your arm firmly along the baby's spine. Carefully turn the baby back over so she is face-up again.  Don't lift the baby's head as you turn his/her, as this can force the clog back...
