If you get a date request – online or in person – from someone you’re not interested in dating, you should start by acknowledging his effort. It can be really scary to ask someone out, and he went out on a limb by doing so. For example, you can say something like “Thank you so much for asking/messaging me! I know how hard it is to take that first step.” Once you’ve acknowledged his effort, you need to clearly say no if you’re not interested in going out with him. Don’t say maybe and don’t say you have to think about it if you don’t. For example, you can say, “I really appreciate you asking me, but I’m just not interested.” You might be tempted to make an excuse when you turn him down to ease your rejection. However, doing this can leave your “no” open to interpretation, so try to be as honest as possible.  For example, don’t say "I'm seeing someone" if you’re not or "I'm not looking for a relationship" if you are. The fact that you have an online dating profile suggests you are looking to date and makes these responses sound hollow.  You might also be turning him down because you’re just not interested in men. Be honest about it if that’s the case. If you get a date request online or in person, don’t just ignore him. Make sure you that you give him a response, even if it’s short and sweet. You can ignore this rule if you get a date request from a total stranger or if the request itself is overly aggressive or sexually explicit.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reconoce su esfuerzo. Respóndele de forma clara. Sé honesta. No lo ignores.


If you get a wound, keeping the area clean can help prevent infections, irritation, and scarring. Wash the area daily with gentle soap and warm water to remove germs, dirt, and debris.  Avoid soaps that contain harsh perfumes and dyes. If you’re getting medical treatment for your wound, follow your doctor’s instructions for cleaning and dressing it. Wounds that develop scabs are more likely to leave scars. To prevent scabbing, always cover your clean wound with hydrating petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline. Cover the wound with a bandage to keep it clean and hydrated. Change the bandage, clean the wound, and reapply the petroleum jelly daily or any time the bandage gets wet or dirty. with aloe vera gel. Medical researchers have found that aloe helps promote the healing of burn wounds more effectively than petroleum jelly. To minimize scarring, apply 100% aloe gel to the wound daily until the burn heals.  If you have a third degree burn or a second degree burn that is larger than 3 inches (7.6 cm) across, seek medical care immediately. Don’t try to treat a severe burn on your own. You can also ask your doctor for a silver sulfadiazine prescription to help prevent infections for second- or third-degree burns. Even after your wound has healed, it’s important to keep protecting the area in order to minimize any potential scarring. If you have a fresh scar after the wound heals, put sunscreen on it or cover it with protective clothing (such as long sleeves) until it fades or disappears.  Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. If you have a scar from surgery, your surgeon will probably recommend that you keep it protected from the sun for at least 1 year. If you have a wound that requires stitches, you can minimize potential scarring by having the stitches removed in the timeframe that your doctor recommends. Taking the stitches out too late or too early may result in more severe scarring.  Don’t attempt to remove the stitches on your own. Visit your doctor’s office and ask them to remove the stitches for you....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Limpia las heridas recientes con regularidad. Mantén las heridas hidratadas con vaselina durante su curación. Trata las heridas por quemaduras Protege tu cicatriz de la luz solar directa mientras se cura. Quítate los puntos de sutura cuando el doctor lo recomiende.


If you get mail sent to the correct address, but the recipient doesn’t live there, clearly print “Not at this address” somewhere on the item. Don’t write “Return to sender” or any other messages.  If you see a barcode on the item, cross it out. This will help ensure that the item doesn’t come back to your address.  Don’t erase or cross out the address. If you’re around when your mail carrier makes their deliveries, return the mail piece to them and explain that the person it was addressed to doesn’t live there. You can also put the item back in your mailbox and put the red flag up. Your mail carrier should pick it up next time they deliver the mail. As an alternative to giving the item back to your mail carrier, you can put it in a USPS mail collection box. The post office will collect it and return it to the sender or forward it to the correct address. You can find the nearest collection box by using the USPS “Find Locations” page.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escribe “No a esta dirección” en el sobre o paquete. Entrégale el paquete al cartero. Coloca el paquete en una caja de recogida si no puedes dárselo al cartero.


If you get pimples, use a gentle, non-abrasive, and alcohol-free acne treatment. Don't vigorously scrub your skin when you wash your face, because this takes away the natural oils and can make your skin dry, flaky, and can even cause more acne. Try to treat your acne naturally, or talk to your doctor about products you can use.  Ask your doctor for a referral to a dermatologist if you have acne that won't go away within four to eight weeks of using an over-the-counter treatment or if your acne is painful. There are medications you can take, but some of them, like Accutane, have lots of side effects.  Never use your fingernails to scrape your skin or pick at acne scabs. Squeezing, popping, or picking at pimples can cause infections and leave scarring. If you feel self-conscious about your skin you might be tempted to go heavy on your makeup. However, wearing too much makeup can make your skin dry or oily and cause breakouts. Only apply light layers of foundation and use makeup minimally for a natural, healthy look. There are techniques you can use to hide acne with makeup. . Keep your finger and toenails trimmed and free of jagged edges. Clean underneath your nails when you wash your hands (and feet), and use an under nail scraper to get dirt out from under your nails if you need to. Use sharp clippers or small manicure scissors to cut straight across your nail, and round out the corners in a gentle curve with a nail file. Use hand lotion on your nails and cuticles.   Don't bite your nails or pull off hangnails. This can cause an infection and look messy. Use clean nail clippers, instead.  Paint your nails if you want to! Or just apply a protective layer of nail hardener or top-coat for some shine. Only use acetone-free nail polish remover. If you want to wear perfume or body spray, go for it! Just avoid wearing too much. This can be overpowering and unpleasant to some people. Spray your perfume two to three times in front of you and then walk through it – this will give you a nice smell without being...

Trata tu acné. No uses demasiado maquillaje. Cuida tus uñas Ponte un buen perfume, pero no mucho.


If you get to your date and find that you’re not attracted to the person at all, don’t bail immediately. You committed to these short plans and might form a great friendship with the person. Don’t imply that you want to have a romantic relationship, though. Say something at the end of the night that implies friendship rather than a romantic relationship.  You could say, “I had a great time tonight and think we could be great friends.” Or try, “I had a nice time tonight. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!” Regardless of convention, offer (at the least) to split the bill with your date. Do not choose an activity or restaurant you can’t afford if you end up paying the entire bill. Here are some ways you can approach that awkward moment when the bill arrives:  Say, “That was delicious. How do you feel about splitting the check?” Or, “This one’s on me!” Or, if your date offers to pay: “I’m happy to split the bill with you!” Or, if your date insists upon paying: “I’m happy to split the bill, but thank you so much!” Just because you aren’t talking doesn’t mean a moment is awkward! Feel free to take a few seconds and reflect on what’s happened so far. If you feel that the silence is awkward, have a backup list of open-ended questions (see above) to ask your date. The silence is probably much shorter than you think it is. Start thinking about that dreaded end-of-date moment before it actually happens. Do you want a handshake, a hug, a kiss? Read, too, the signals that your date gives you throughout the date. Does your date sit close to you, or do they seem like they’re in a hurry to leave? Whatever happens at the end of the date should be something you’re both comfortable with.  If your date makes an unwanted advance, just step away and say no. You don’t owe your date any physical contact. If you accidentally make an unwanted advance on your date, don’t panic. Apologize for reading the situation incorrectly and continue talking with your date.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No huyas de una cita poco atractiva. Ofrece pagar o dividir la cuenta. No entres en pánico durante los silencios incómodos. Busca indicios en ti mismo y en tu cita al final de la velada.


If you go all willy-nilly like for an example "Okay, so we're just gonna call this club Club of Awesomeness, have it in the morning, and move on", that's showing people that you don't care about the club. It tells them, "This is a club that randomly popped out with no given thought whatsoever. Please risk everything and join." What specific time? Place? What's it about? For the time and place, decide on a room to hold the club in with your friend, and speak with the person in charge of the room. Agree with them on a time, but make it during school hours-and not during lessons or work times.  Plan out how the club will run.  At many schools, students start planning the club before the summer vacation. This will give time to plan the club events, fundraisers, and other necessary things to make the club flow steadily upon return to school. For example, if the club is about your school, i.e. what you can do to improve it, what isn't going well, etc., for example, Cayuga Elementary School, you could call it "Cayuga Elementary Club".  Think about what it will look like presented to other people, and how it relates to the topic. Choose a person (either you or your friend) to type it on a computer, print it out, and then discuss it together. Don't forget to check it for errors.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elabora un plan. Escoge el nombre del club. Escribe tu plan final o el formulario que solicite la escuela.


If you go into the talk assuming that this revelation will cause the other person to immediately reject you and walk away, you are sabotaging your chances of having a healthy, positive conversation before it even begins.  And, if that is the response you would get from the other person, would you want to be in a relationship anyway? Studies indicate that the odds are in your favor.  About two-thirds of partners are at least initially supportive when informed about the other’s mental illness, while only about five percent break off the relationship on the spot.  It is true that 60% of people with mental illnesses say that the revelation has caused an eventual breakup, but 60% also say that revealing this truth strengthens both the relationship and personal well-being. As it does with so many aspects of life, preparation pays off when revealing information of such a personal nature to a prospective partner.  The more you plan, practice, and anticipate beforehand, the more relaxed and confident you will be when it comes time to reveal your mental illness.  Don’t start things off by saying “I have something important to tell you” while you display an expressionless face, or with a “Come over.  We need to talk” call or message.  Although you’ve planned ahead, let it flow out from the context of a positive interaction — “While we’re in the sharing mood, I have something I’d like to talk about with you.” The key is to not be so casual that you seem to think this reveal isn’t a big deal (which it is), but not so serious that it seems like the end of the world (which it isn’t).  Your level of comfort and confidence will impact how the news is received by the other person. Self-disclosure — offering personal information and insights as a sign of trust and comfort — is essential to any relationship.  Research indicates that the benefits are maximized for both parties in a relationship when disclosures are made in a reciprocal manner (that is, I tell you a secret, you tell me one).  Incorporating your mental illness...

TL;DR in Spanish:

No asumas lo peor. Sé casual y seguro. Crea una oportunidad para brindar información personal de forma recíproca. Sé sincero y comunicativo.


If you go to Whiterun and enter Belethor's store, he will have some ebony ingots for sale. Once you exit Belethor's store, head up the stairs. At the top, go down the flight of stairs to your right. Head north until you see the Warmaiden's shop. The man at the counter will sell you ebony ingots. During the day, you can find Adrianne Avenicci in front of the Warmaiden's shop. She will also sell you ebony ingots. If you don't want to buy the ingots, you can craft them. Go to Windhelm and head southwest. Keep walking until you see a stronghold guided by an orc. Skip through the dialogue and ask the orc to let you in. Once inside the small orc village of Narzulbur, walk further east past the bridge, where you will find Gloombound Mine. Take a pickax, mine the ebony ores, and then head outside to smelt your ingots. Note that you will need two ebony ores to craft one ebony ingot.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra los lingotes en el Almacén de Belethor. Compra lingotes de ébano en la Doncella Guerrera. Compra lingotes de ébano a Adrianne Avenicci. Crea lingotes de ébano.


If you go to school, make connections with every photojournalist you meet. Get involved with school’s newspaper, and offer to take pictures for any newsletters, websites, or yearbooks. After you have left school, do your best to connect with photojournalists. Research and attend meet-ups in your area. Reach out to photojournalists that you find inspiring. Just as it is with many careers, photojournalism is sometimes about who you know. Making lasting connections can only benefit you. Internships are the best way to gain experience and build your resume. It’s far more likely that you will be able to land a job if you’ve had an internship. If you’re in school, ask professors for recommendations and advice about where to apply. Look up internships on the internet and apply to as many as possible. Keep in mind that most internships pay little to nothing and are very competitive, especially for larger magazines and newspapers. Choosing to be a freelancer is more and more common, especially with the rise of social media. A freelancer signs contracts to either do one job for a company, or work for a company for a specified amount of time or projects. Photography itself, especially as an independent art form, is primarily freelance. Learn how to market yourself and make connections. A solid network foundation will attract more work. It is helpful to learn about business if you are considering freelance work. You can look up information online about it, or take a class at your local community college. Eventually, aim to work at a magazine or newspaper (if you don’t want to stick with freelance). A secure job with a magazine or newspaper is a photojournalist’s dream. Consider the type of work you do before applying to jobs. Is your work better-suited for a magazine like National Geographic, or would it be better for a newspaper like The New York Times? It may take a lot of applications to secure a job, but don’t give up. If you don’t have luck getting a job with a bigger newspaper of magazines, start small by applying...

If you go too icy, you can look washed out. Instead, add warmth to your features without creating too much contrast.  If you have pale skin, try sheer shades of taupe, pinks, and greens. Try a pink or peach if you have medium skin.  If you have dark or deep skin, look for bright shades like jewel tones that stand out against our skin. If you have warm undertones, bring them alive with deeper colors that enrich your tones.  If you have pale skin, opt for earthy tones and bronze colors.  If you have medium skin, try bronze, deep pinks, and peaches. If you have dark or deep skin, look for rich purples, bright blues, emerald greens, and burgundy. Be adventurous if you have neutral undertones because any color could look great on your skin.  If you have pale skin, play around with jewel tones, earth tones, and metallic shades.  If you have a medium skin tone, play around with bronze, earth tones, pinks, and peaches.  If you have deep or dark skin, play around with dark, jewel-tone shades.

If you got a letter that has bothered you, share it with someone you trust. This person can help give you insight on the contents. If the letter contains hateful criticism and words directed to you, they can help you objectively evaluate if there is any validity in the criticisms. If the anonymous letter accuses someone of something, they might be able to help you determine if it is serious enough to pursue. If the letter suggests some action be taken, they can help you evaluate that, too. If you receive anonymous letters that are a cause of concern, or you repeatedly receive anonymous hate, you may want to ask for help from an authority figure. Contact your local police department if you feel threatened by the letters.  If you involve the police, you will need to keep the letters as evidence. Some states may have laws against anonymous threatening that could help you. If you experience anonymous threats at work, go to your immediate boss or supervisor. They can help you figure out what course of action to take. If you are a youth who is receiving anonymous cyberbullying, talk to your parents, teachers, police officers, or other trusted adults. Schools can help with cyberbullying, and if that doesn't work, try contacting one of the cyberbullying help websites, like End Cyberbullying, Cyberbully Help, or Stop Bullying. Sometimes, both physical and electronic letters provide clues to the author's location. If the letter was sent through the mail, check to see if there is a postmark with a city or zip code on it. If the letter was sent electronically, attempt to locate the e-mail's IP address. If the letter was dropped in your mailbox, the person may live in your neighborhood. To view this information in an email, turn on the advanced header. This can be found by opening the e-mail, then clicking on the feature to show more from the e-mail. Look for an option to "show original," "view full header," or "view message source." From there, type the IP address location into Google and use the multiple services shown...

If you grew up listening to rap, there’s a good chance you’ll be tempted to write about the same things your favorite rappers do. If you had similar life experiences to the ones they had, then great! But, if you didn’t you shouldn’t write about something you don’t know. Write about your own life and tell your own stories. Your audience will appreciate that you’re authentic and honest.  Be specific about your experiences in your lyrics. Talk about the street you grew up on or the city or town you live in, your favorite brands and how you feel about situations and events.  Giving your listeners something to relate to will make them more loyal, and help you build your fan base. It might sound counterintuitive, but one of the easiest ways to brainstorm lyrics for a song is to come up with possible song titles. Listen for catchy phrases on TV and in movies, and look out for them in books and in real life. You can either use the titles as you hear them, or you can alter them to fit your vision as a songwriter. Keep track of your list on your phone or on a notepad so that you don’t forget anything. Listening to beat tracks can be a great way to brainstorm. Try taking some of your potential song titles and rapping them to different beats. This might help jumpstart a whole chorus or verse without much effort. You can find beat tracks online at sites like RapPad, RawHeatz, and RapBeats . You can also find them on apps like Rap to Beats, Auto Rap, and Rap Chat.  Some sites and apps may allow you to download beats for free, but many will require a fee to do so.  Playing around with different beat tracks will also give you an opportunity to scat and improvise to figure out how different lyrics you come up with might fit together. Record yourself on your phone or computer while you improvise a few lyrics. This way you’ll be able to hear how different lyrics sound together, and you won’t forget any of your ideas as you keep writing. You should also be sure to write down any lines you come up with while you’re brainstorming....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Utiliza tus experiencias personales como inspiración para tus letras. Ten una lista actualizada de los posibles títulos para tus canciones. Busca los ritmos que te gustan. Grábate a ti mismo mientras improvisas un ritmo.


If you had an account at a credit union or bank which became insolvent, you might be owed money.  You might also be owed money if your account was determined to be abandoned.  An abandoned bank account is defined as an account that has had no activity or communication for a year. Communication includes making a deposit, withdrawal or checking the account balance. If a bank owes you money, check with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).  The (FDIC) receives money from failed financial institutions, and if current addresses are not on file or dividend checks are uncashed, they hold the funds for the owner. If you believe a credit union owes you money, check with the National Credit Union Association (NCUA).  The NCUA regularly publishes lists of individuals with unclaimed funds on its website, https://www.ncua.gov/services/Pages/asset-management/unclaimed-deposits.aspx. If you are owed money from a client or customer, your best option might be let someone else find your money for you.  Debt collection agencies, lawyers, and companies which buy your debt are all options for someone trying to find money owed to them.  Debt collection agencies and lawyers might ask for some money up front in addition to taking a cut of whatever the collected total is.  You will need to provide as much info as you can to the professional assisting you.  The debtor’s credit card, financial, and personal information will be required.  If you have data on their known aliases, acquaintances, or former addresses, this could also be of use.  Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of the debt collector’s service.  Ask what their fees and associated charges are. Older debts often require bigger fees to pursue collection, since they are harder to collect.

Children or other heirs could be unaware that their loved one left behind monetary holdings.  These holdings are transferred automatically to state...

If you had to put together one outfit that made you feel comfortable, attractive, and confident, which pieces would you choose? How would you describe the style? Is it vintage-inspired? Is it modern or edgy? Whatever it is, aim to buy and wear things in this style since it’s what you feel best in. Regardless of what your favorite style is, you can find unique items to match it at thrift stores or consignment stores. You’ll never risk running into someone wearing the exact same shirt as you. And you’ll be able to find more interesting things than what department stores are selling. Listen to your shopping instinct. If something unique catches your eye, and you like it, buy it! Just make sure you don’t get cold feet later – wear it at least once. Avoid any clothing that has a brand name or logo printed on it. Your clothes won’t look unique if they say “Gap” across the front or have the Victoria’s Secret “Pink” moniker on the bottom. Select shirts with no writing on them at all, unless it has a fun saying that you really like. Try your hand at fashion design. Take a sewing course to learn how to create a dress out of fabric you love. Or do some no-sew designing by cutting up a tank top or t-shirt in an interesting way and then layering it over another shirt. Homemade clothes give you a sense of pride as well as individuality. You can also dye clothes to make them more interesting, or add iron-on designs from a craft store. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking any aspect of your clothing needs to be fashionable. If you love the way leopard-print pants look with a striped shirt, then wear them together. If you love wearing all black, cover yourself in black from head to toe. Being an individual means risking some odd looks from others, but it also means you get to show off your personality.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige tu atuendo favorito. Compra en las tiendas de segunda mano. Elige ropa que no tenga marcas. Haz tu propia ropa. Ignora la presión de tener que estar a la moda.

If you have VLC Media Player on your computer, you may be able to use it to download videos from YouTube. Start by navigating to YouTube in your browser.  If you don't have VLC Player on your computer, you can download it from https://www.videolan.org or use another method. This method should work for most videos, but some may display a "Your input can't be opened" error during the download.  If it refuses to play the video, that is because Youtube actually restricts the location of the video on the web if it contains copyrighted content. The only way to get around this is to use a download website not subject to this, such as mpgun.com, or use a computer program. You can search for the video using the "Search" bar at the top of the screen. Once you select the video, it should begin playing right away. You can do this by highlighting the URL in the address bar at the top of the browser and pressing Ctrl+C (PC) or ⌘ Command+C (Mac). It should be in the Start menu on Windows and in the Applications folder on macOS. It's the icon of an orange traffic cone.

If you have a baby tub, fill it partially with lukewarm water. If you’re using a regular bathtub, add 2-3 inches of water and be sure to keep your baby upright and supported. Keep one hand on your baby at all times during a bath in a tub. Clean your baby’s hair, face, and body first. When you’re about to end the bath, wipe the skin around the belly button and inside their belly button with a clean wet washcloth and some gentle baby soap. Rinse the area with warm water to get the soap off. Pat your baby’s stomach and belly button dry with a clean, soft, dry towel. Be sure to dry inside the belly button by gently patting dry with the towel – don’t rub hard or scrub the area. Dress your baby once they’re dry. If your baby’s cord recently fell off, don’t use lotions. The belly button might still be healing and lotions can cause irritation or infection. Simply let the belly button get plenty of air and keep it clean and dry.

If you have a bike and good path for cycling, go out for a bike ride. Cycling is a great form of exercise because you burn a lot of calories without as much high impact as running. Cycle around your area to get some exercise, and time your laps if you want to compete with yourself. Bike riding will depend a lot on the weather, so don't go out if it's too wet or cold and be careful on busy streets, as cars often don't see cyclists. Whether you have a treadmill or the weather is nice, get a little jogging in. Jogging will give you more energy for your activities later, and burn off some calories from any unhealthy food you may have eaten over the weekend. Make sure you have a good pair of running shoes and some comfortable workout clothes. Don't take it too fast if you don't run often, and make sure to stretch before and after you jog. If the weather allows, go for a swim. Whether you have access to a pool, a lake or the ocean, swimming is a great way to get some exercise. Swimming is even easier on your body than cycling or running, because it's even lower-impact than other cardio exercise. Grab a swimsuit and do some laps: time your laps for competitive fun. Weight lifting is great for your body, and helps you look good too. Keep in mind that one night of lifting weights won't do much for your physique. You'll have to keep it up and continue lifting weights several types a week. However, quiet Saturday nights are a great time to start. Go to a nearby gym or invest in a weight set for your house, then learn the basics. The types of exercises you need to do will depend on your goals, so talk to a trainer or consult weightlifting books for more information that's tailored to you.

If you have a board game you never play anymore, empty out the contents of the box and replace them with your secret items. Then, put the box in the back of your closet. Board game boxes are great for stashing bigger items. Pick a teddy you’re willing to sacrifice to the cause. Make a little cut along a seam and slip in your items. If the cut is big, you may have to sew it back up so the stuffing doesn’t leak out. Place it with its fellow stuffed animals so it blends right in. Using a pair of scissors, cut a small opening in a tennis ball. Squeeze it to widen the slit, then slide small goodies through the slit and into the tennis ball. Throw the tennis ball into an unassuming location, like the back of your closet, behind your bed, or with your sports stuff. To retrieve the items, simply squeeze the ball again to widen the slit, and shake the items out. If they are stuck, you may have to use your fingers or tweezers.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa la caja de un juego de mesa para guardar objetos de valor. Guarda cosas dentro de un muñeco de peluche viejo. Usa una pelota de tenis para objetos pequeños.


If you have a cage instead of an aviary for your canary, it is best to keep them alone since canaries can become extremely territorial over small spaces.If you do get a second canary, make sure it is the opposite sex of the first one. Keep them in separate cages unless it is the breeding season.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evita conseguirle un compañero si vive en una jaula.


If you have a coach that is known for abusive or insulting behavior, you should bring someone along with you. The coach may be encouraged to use more polite language if someone outside of the team is there. You might consider bringing a parent, teacher, or friend. Avoid blaming the coach or using accusatory language. This might incense them further. Instead, use “I” statements to focus on your needs. “I” statements are sentences that start with “I”, instead of “you.” They can help defuse the tension. For example, instead of saying, “You always make us stay an hour late after practice,” you can say, “I do not have time to spend on my homework, and I need to focus on my studies.” Some coaches might try to persuade you to change your mind. Let them know that you are serious about quitting. Let them know that you have thought the issue over very carefully and that unless they can make serious accommodations, you will not be able to continue. You might say, “I appreciate all this team has done for me, but I feel as though my time here is coming to an end. With my family situation the way it is, I need some space to handle my own personal life.” If your coach reacts with anger or abuse, try to shake off their insults. They may try to call you a quitter or guilt you into staying. Be firm and confident in your decision to leave. Say, “I am not a quitter. I just know my limits, and I have other things in my life I need to focus on.” Some coaches might try to tell you that you are making a mistake or that you will regret your decision. You can respond, “I know this is the right decision for me now. While I might regret leaving, I also might regret not leaving.”

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lleva a alguien contigo. Usa oraciones en primera persona. Defiende tu postura. Ignora el abuso.


If you have a confirmed diagnosis of a contagious illness such as COVID-19, your doctor will need to evaluate your specific case and make recommendations based on your condition. Discuss whether you can safely go home and, if so, whether you need to stay in isolation until you recover.  If your doctor thinks you are stable enough to go home, ask for detailed instructions on how to care for yourself during your isolation period. If a friend or family member will be caring for you, ask the doctor to share that information with them. Your doctor will send any confirmed lab test results to your local public health department. From there, the public health department will make recommendations about how long you need to stay in isolation. If you’re sick, it’s imperative that you stay home and rest as much as possible. This will help you recover faster and also protect others from catching your illness. Don’t go to school or work, and avoid taking public transit to visit the doctor if possible.  Always call ahead if you need to visit the hospital or your doctor’s office. Tell them about your diagnosis and describe any symptoms you’re currently experiencing. If you need supplies, have them delivered to your home if possible. Don’t go out shopping while you’re in isolation. If you can, keep to your own space inside the home and don’t allow pets, visitors, or family members inside. If possible, use your own bathroom instead of sharing one with other people in the home.  To avoid having to enter other areas of the home, ask family members or other caretakers to leave prepared meals or other supplies outside your door. Preferably, you should stay in a well-ventilated room with a window that you can open. If you’re too sick to care for yourself, put on a mask any time a caretaker has to be around you. You should also put on a mask if you have to leave your home (e.g., to visit your doctor’s office).  Have your caretakers wear masks when they’re around you, too. If you’re unable to get facemasks due to shortages in your...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pregúntale a tu médico si puedes regresar a casa o debes estar hospitalizado. Quédate en casa, a menos que necesites atención médica. Permanece en tu habitación tanto como puedas si compartes la casa con alguien más. Usa una mascarilla si tienes que interactuar con otras personas. Practica una buena higiene para evitar la propagación de la enfermedad. Llama a tu médico de inmediato si tus síntomas cambian o empeoran. Trabaja con tu médico para saber cuándo puedes finalizar el aislamiento.


If you have a cool complexion, you will want a different color lens than someone who has a warm complexion. Determine your skin tone. If you have pink or blue undertones, you have a cool complexion. If you have yellow undertones, you have a warm complexion.  Cool complexions might want to choose blue, purple, rose, gray, or green tinted lenses. Warm complexions may want to choose red, yellow, brown, amber, or orange colored lenses. If you want a vintage or classic look, you should stick to neutral tones such as brown, gray, dark gray, or green. These colors do not go out of style, and they draw the attention to the shape of your glasses instead of to the tint. A mirror-coated lens has a shiny outer layer that gives your sunglasses a polished gleam. Mirror coatings can reduce glare without distorting any color. You can choose almost any color for your mirror-coating without it affecting your vision. Some even come in multiple colors. You can buy glasses with mirror coating already applied or you can ask your optician to fit your frames with mirror-coated lenses. If you do not like how dark sunglasses are, pastel lenses are another option. These stylish lighter shades may not block out much light, but they will give you a cool, summery look. Lighter shades can still block out UV rays so look for a pair that is labeled as providing 100% UV protection. Some shades that you might consider are:  Light orange Rose Lavender Soft blue Light gray

TL;DR in Spanish:

Considera tu tez. Mantente clásico con un tono neutral. Agrega un poco de destello con una lente con espejo. Prueba gafas suaves y pastel.


If you have a cylinder cart, place both the oxygen and acetylene cylinders into it. If not, they should be securely fastened with a chain to a workbench, a wall, or a post. Cylinders should not be able to be knocked or pulled over. Cylinders should only be used and stored in the vertical position. Stand so the outlet is facing away from your body and open the valve a 1/4 turn, very quickly, and then close it. This will clear out any dust or dirt that may have settled in the valve. It needs to be cleaned out otherwise the debris might get into other parts of the torch and cause it to malfunction. Warning: never clear a fuel gas cylinder near other welding work that is in progress or near sparks or flames. The regulators let you see how much pressure you’re using while working and are essential to safely starting and operating an oxy acetylene torch. If the regulator and cylinder have different threads (meaning they don’t fit into each other), you will need to use an adaptor, which can be purchased at any local hardware store. Don’t assume because you have turned the nut as far as you can with your hand that it is tight enough. Use a wrench with a fixed opening (rather than an adjustable wrench) that is designed specifically for welding tools. You can buy these from a hardware store or a specific apparatus supplier. If you ever need to make an adjustment after the cylinder has been opened and used, make sure to close the cylinder valve before tightening the nut again. Do this for each regulator. The valve in the regulator needs to be closed before cylinder pressure is admitted. Turning the pressure-adjusting screw counter-clockwise removes the pressure from the spring in the regulator. When the screw turns freely, you should be able to just tap it with your finger and see it move, rather than having to apply pressure. Make sure you can see the cylinder-pressure gauges, but don’t stand directly in front of the valves. Open the valves slowly to protect yourself and your machine from any potential combustion. ...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegura los cilindros de oxígeno y acetileno en posición vertical. Limpia el polvo o la suciedad acumulada en la salida de la válvula. Conecta los reguladores de oxígeno y acetileno a los cilindros. Ajusta las tuercas de las conexiones del regulador con una llave inglesa. Gira el tornillo de ajuste de presión hacia la izquierda hasta que quede suelto. Abre las válvulas de oxígeno y acetileno muy lentamente. Deja la llave inglesa sobre la válvula de acetileno mientras se encuentra abierta.


If you have a digital or analog watch, begin timing as soon as you see the lightning and stop as soon as you hear the thunder. If you don’t have a watch, do your best to count the seconds accurately. Say "One one thousand, two one thousand..." in your mind as you count. Sound travels one mile every five seconds and one kilometer every three seconds. Therefore, if you want to find out how far you are from lightning, divide the number of seconds by 5 if you want the answer in miles and divide it by 3 if you want the answer in kilometers. The delay between when you see lightning and when you hear thunder occurs because sound travels much more slowly than light. Here's what you do:  Let's say you counted 18 seconds. To find your distance from the lightning in miles, divide 18 by 5 to get 3.6 miles. To find your distance from the lightning in kilometers, divide 18 by 3 to get 6 kilometers. Though you won't be able to get a completely accurate result because the weather may vary in temperature and humidity, which will slightly affect the speed of sound, this is a good way to estimate how far you are from the lightning. Sound travels at a speed of about 344 meters, or 1,129 feet, per second. To calculate your distance from the lightning in meters, just round 344 down to 340 and multiply the number of seconds by 340. To calculate your distance from the lightning in feet, just round 1,129 up to 1130 and multiply the number of seconds by 1130. Here's how you do it: Let's say you counted 3 seconds. Multiply that number by 340 to get your distance in meters. 3 x 340 = 1020 meters. Multiply that number by 1130 to get your distance in feet. 3 x 1130 = 3,390 feet.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Observa el cielo para ver el destello del rayo. Cuenta los segundos hasta que escuches el rayo. Calcula la distancia del rayo en millas o kilómetros. Calcula la distancia del rayo en metros o pies.

If you have a favorite line from the Harry Potter books, you can easily use it to inspire your own Harry Potter themed mug. For this project, you will need a white mug, and a few Sharpies in varying colors.  Using a Sharpie, write your favorite quote from the books on the mug. Let the mug dry overnight before baking it for 30 minute at 350 degrees. Place the mug in the oven before it heats up and allow it to cool down in the oven before removing. Skip this step and you may find cracks in the mug. Possible quotes for your mug include: “I solemnly swear I am up to no good,” “Always” and “Felix Felicis.” Every year, Harry goes to Diagon Alley to stock up on potion supplies and you can make your own potion bottles in just a few easy steps. For this project, you will need miniature bottles, cardstock paper, decoupage glue, a magic marker and a rubber band.  Tear the cardstock into small pieces. On each piece, write a potion ingredient in magic marker (ideas include frog, dragon’s blood, tears, etc). Place a small amount of decoupage glue on the back of each cardstock label, then affix the labels to the bottles. Wrap a rubber band around the labeled bottle to help the glue set. Allow the bottles to dry, then play with them or display them as you wish. If you have a white t-shirt, some black paint and a paintbrush, you can create your own Harry Potter t-shirt featuring the Deathly Hallows.  Place a piece of cardboard in between the layers of the t-shirt. This will keep the paint from seeping through to the back. Paint the outline of a triangle on the t-shirt. The triangle should take up most of the space on the tee. If the triangle is not dark enough, go over it again with another coat of paint. Paint a line from the top of the triangle to the bottom of the triangle. Darken the line as needed. Draw a circle inside the triangle to complete the image of the Deathly Hallows. Darken the circle as needed. Allow the t-shirt to dry before wearing. If you prefer not to freehand the image, you can also look for a template...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Personaliza tu propia taza de Harry Potter. Haz tus propias botellas de pociones. Confecciona una camiseta de las Reliquias de la Muerte. Haz una lechuza con platos de papel.


If you have a favorite makeup primer, consider adding that to the mix so that it goes on smoothly. Primer can also make the BB cream last a bit longer on the skin. If you don't have a standard makeup primer on hand, you can try experimenting with chafing gel instead.  Chafing gels, like Monistat, are made to protect your inner thighs and bikini area from rubbing together uncomfortably. Ratios are totally customizable, but a good place to start is 2 parts moisturizer (if your moisturizer has SPF), 1 part primer, and 1/2 part foundation. If you're using a separate moisturizer and sunscreen, use 1 part moisturizer and 1/2 part sunscreen. Adding primer or chafing gel may improve the consistency and create a more matte finish.  Keep in mind that chafing gel may cause breakouts if you have oily skin. For glowing skin, consider adding a liquid illuminator. Illuminators come in a range of shades, so choose the one that works best for your skin tone.  For example, if you have a light skin tone, try a champagne color that matches it. For other skin tones, you may want to experiment with peachy, pink, or golden illuminators. How much you use completely depends on the results you want. You may need to experiment to find your perfect mix! Consider starting with 1/4 part or 1/8 part. The great thing about making your own BB cream is that you can mix many of your favorite skin care products together for fully customized results. If wrinkles are a concern, add a little bit of your favorite anti-aging serum to the mix. You will only need a tiny squirt of optional ingredients like serums, since you don't want to alter the consistency of the BB cream too much. Start with 1/8 part and work up from there. The exact amount you use really depends on the product you're using and the results you want. For example, a thin serum might make the BB cream too thin, so you'd need to use a very small amount. BB creams are pretty sheer, so if you want something that will even out your skin tone and hide problem areas better, consider using...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Añade una prebase o gel para rozaduras para una aplicación suave. Incluye un producto iluminador líquido para lograr un aspecto fresco y luminoso. Añade un suero antiedad para atenuar el aspecto de las arrugas y las líneas finas. Considera utilizar un corrector para una cobertura adicional.


If you have a few electronic devices that you don’t use much anymore, like a beaten-up radio or an old gaming console, take out the batteries and slide your tiny valuables into the battery compartment. Then, replace the back. Make sure that no one else uses these items. If someone tries to use the TV remote and it doesn't work, the first thing they'll do is check the battery compartment. Open your picture frame and take out the cardboard backing. Then, place small, flat items, like secret notes or cash, on top of the picture. Replace the cardboard backing, and you’ve got an awesome hiding place. This may also work for framed mirrors, as long as they have a backing, like on a picture frame. Old containers, like empty deodorant sticks, sunscreen bottles, or pill containers, are great places to house your treasures. Large lotion bottles can work well for bigger items.  Make sure that this isn't an item that anyone else in your house uses. If they realize that the container is empty, they may toss it--along with whatever it is that you're hiding. Use this for personal items, such as a lotion bottle in your room that only you use. Put your goodies in  plastic baggies and bury them in the soil of your potted plants. If you don’t have any, it may be a good idea to buy one or two for secret stashing.  Make sure the baggie is tightly sealed. You don’t want soil and water ruining your treasures! This can also work outside. Place an inconspicuous stone or figurine (such as a lawn gnome) over the hiding spot to mark it. Take out the trash bag and put some of your goodies in the trash can. Then, replace the trash bag on top. Who would think to look for your most prized possessions in the garbage?  Only use this method if you take out your own trash. If your mom or dad does it, then they could find your secret stash! You can also do this is you line your laundry basket with a sack. Just slip your prized possession between the basket and the sack. Pick a few neglected pieces of clothing in the back of your closet and slip...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa los compartimientos de las pilas de tus aparatos electrónicos para guardar objetos pequeños. Introduce objetos planos en la parte trasera de los portarretratos.

Coloca algunas cosas en los bolsillos de tu ropa. Coloca artículos planos entre las páginas de libros.


If you have a field of expertise, you may be best able to identify quality within that area. Experience can provide you with the insights you need to make more informed choices. For example, if you work in retail, you may be better positioned to determine if you should invest in companies like Walmart, Target, or Best Buy, than you are in evaluating the latest bio-tech company. Having competence in a certain area doesn't have to come from workplace experience. If you're a techie who spends his time buying and reading about the latest gadgets, you can draw on the information you obtain to help you make decisions on how to invest in the technology sector. These can be either your direct area of competence or other areas that you are interested in investing in. The important thing is to realize that you can't keep track of everything going on in the global economy. Large financial institutions have whole departments for doing this so don't think you can do it on your own. Instead, narrow your focus to include only a few key industries or markets.  This doesn't mean you should avoid focusing on individual companies. You should always investigate every company you plan to invest in individually. Examples of quality sources for this are online finance websites like Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal. They'll give you up-to-date information on many of the goings-on in various sectors of the economy and the World. Again, focus your energy on a few key areas and become knowledgeable on the happenings in them. Look for things like trends, mergers, acquisitions, relevant legislation changes, and any global events that may affect your chosen market. Identify a company that you think stands to benefit from some change or trend in the market. Look ahead for when this change will take place and move around your money to prepare to invest in the company. For example, if you think that a new product being released by your favorite tech company is going to be a huge success, you may choose to invest in the company before...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Limítate a tu ámbito de conocimiento. Enfócate en unas pocas industrias o mercados. Procura estar al día con las últimas novedades relacionadas con la industria en cuestión. Elabora un plan con anticipación.


If you have a friend who recently went platinum or underwent another dramatic hair color change, ask for the name of her hair stylist. You can also ask friends and family for recommendations on hair salons and stylists who they think might be able to make you a platinum blonde without too much damage.  You can also check out reviews of salons online to narrow your choices down. Look for salons that have high ratings from their customers. If you get some recommendations, check out the stylists Instagram or other social media feeds where they post photos of their work. If your regular stylist has experience with platinum blonde coloring, then you might simply go for a consultation with them. However, if you do not currently have a stylist or your stylist has expressed discomfort with taking you to this color, then call around to find someone who has experience turning people into platinum blondes. Try saying something like, “I want to go platinum blonde without too much damage to my hair, and my current hair color is ____. Do any of your stylists have experience with this type of situation?” After you find someone who has experience, you can make a consultation appointment. Sometimes you can just drop into the salon and see the stylist between clients, but it is best to ask first.  Try saying something like, “I would like to stop in and talk with the stylist before I make an appointment. Do I need to make a consultation appointment, or can I just stop by when the stylist is working?” Make sure to bring picture with you to your consultation so you can show the stylist what you want your hair to look like. Before you decide to make your first hair appointment with a stylist, it is a good idea to ask questions. This will help you to get a sense of how much experience the stylist has and how comfortable you feel trusting your hair to them.  How many times have you taken someone from a shade similar to mine to a platinum blonde shade? What process did you use to get the desired color without causing too much damage?...

TL;DR in Spanish:

If you have a friend with Latias, trade with them and then trade the Latias back. Adding Latias to your Pokedex will allow you to track it on the map, making it easier to find. Latias appears at random around Hoenn, and changes locations every time you enter a building or move to a different area. You can speed up the hunt by finding a place that allows you to fight and change locations quickly. A popular spot is the tall grass outside of the Safari Zone. If your lead Pokémon is Level 39, the Max Repel will keep all Pokémon Level 39 and lower from attacking you. Since Latias is Level 40, this increases the chances that you'll face Latias in a battle (if it's in the area). If it is not Latias, either defeat the Pokémon or flee. Repeat this until you've either encountered about 10-20 Pokémon. If after that many encounters you still haven't seen Latias, there's a good chance that it's not in your area. Latias will move to another random area in Hoenn. Enter the tall grass and start trying to find Latias again. You don't need to move to different areas, you just need to keep resetting Latias's position until it is in your area. Eventually you will encounter Latias. Your Master Ball will make quick work of Latias, allowing you to capture it immediately. If you don't have a Master Ball, you'll need to lower Latias's health before capturing it. This will allow you to then switch to a heavy-hitting Pokémon to start taking down Latias's health. You can increase your chances if you can put Latias to Sleep or Paralyze it. You'll likely have to throw multiple Ultra Balls before Latias is captured. There's a good chance that Latias will run when you fight it for the first time. Luckily, you're given a few advantages for finding it again. First, Latias's location will be shown on your map after you've encountered it once. Second, Latias will not regenerate health between fights, meaning if you lowered its health significantly the first time, you don't have to worry about doing it again. Walk around in the tall grass using...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Intercambia de Pokémon con algún amigo para tener ventaja (es opcional). Encuentra una ubicación que te permita entrar en la hierba alta y rápidamente cambia de ubicación. Utiliza un repelente máximo. Empieza a caminar a través de la hierba alta hasta entrar en una pelea. Entra a un edificio y vuelve a salir para que Latias cambie de posición. Repite estos pasos hasta encontrarte con Latias. Lanza una master ball de inmediato (si tienes una). Utiliza "Mal de ojo" para evitar que corra. Empieza a lanzar ultra balls cuando la salud de Latias esté casi en cero. Rastrea a Latias si logra escapar. Viaja a la ubicación en donde se encuentra Latias.


If you have a full day to plan, make your first appointment as early as possible and schedule the others consecutively. Before you get off the phone with the individual who’s setting your appointment, ask for an approximate time length the appointment will last and if you should expect any wait time prior to your appointment.  Based on that information, you can schedule another appointment on the same day, after that one. Ask the person setting your appointment to confirm the day and time you’ve just settled on. After they repeat back the correct information, enter the appointment into your calendar or planner. As you’re setting appointments and planning out your day, don’t forget to calculate how long it will take you to get from point A to point B. Keep travel times in mind when you’re making other appointments and scheduling other tasks for that same day.  Without factoring in travel time, you’ll end up running late pretty quickly. Don’t forget to include a time buffer between appointments, too.  Work out the travel time and then give yourself a small, additional cushion of time (5 to 15 minutes) for any unforeseen events or stops. Be realistic when you’re making appointments and scheduling your day. Don’t create an agenda for a day that’s impossible to follow accurately. Give yourself plenty of time between appointments and obligations so that your days aren’t stressful and so that you can stay on task.  Don’t pressure yourself to fit everything into a single day. Prioritize and if there are a few things you just can’t get to, schedule them on another day. Once you’ve set an appointment, notify your work or school about it well in advance to ensure you can be out on that day and time. Remind them the day before your appointment that it will be happening the next day. Confirm the time with them and give them the best time estimate you can for how long you’ll be out.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Llama para hacer la cita. Calcula el tiempo de viaje para cada cita. Evita sobrecargarte. Programa tiempo libre del trabajo o de la escuela por adelantado.


If you have a fungal infection—or would like to prevent yourself from getting one—it’s best to shower once a day. After you get out of the shower, dry your skin thoroughly with a clean, dry towel. It’s especially important that you completely dry areas of skin that tend to sweat or that have folds. This includes areas like your armpits and groin.  Fungi love damp skin, so if your skin is still wet when you put your clothes on, you’ll risk contracting an infection. Keep your feet clean and dry and avoid sharing socks or shoes with other people. Loose, baggy shirts made of cotton or linen are a great choice of clothing when you have a fungal infection on your skin. It’s important that your infected skin be able to dry out, and baggy clothes will facilitate this. Clothes that fit loosely will not rub and irritate the infected skin, allowing it to heal. Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes and any clothing items made from fabrics that don’t breathe. Leather is a great example of a fabric to avoid. While you’re treating a skin fungal infection, it’s important to keep fabrics around you as clean as possible. Fungi can linger in any fabric material that comes into frequent contact with your body. Then, even if the infection clears up, you could re-contract the infection by, for example, sleeping on unwashed sheets.  This is also an important step in preventing the infection from spreading to other people. Fungi travel relatively easily, and you’ll risk infecting friends, roommates, and family members if you don’t keep your towels, sheets, and clothing clean. You can also protect your feet by wearing flip-flops in shared bathroom or shower areas, such as the showers at the gym or the area around the swimming pool.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sécate la piel cuidadosamente después de la ducha diaria. Usa telas holgadas que disipen la humedad de la piel. Lava las sábanas, la ropa y las toallas semanalmente para eliminar los hongos persistentes.


If you have a gas grill, turn it between 400 °F (204 °C) and 450 °F (232 °C). To heat a charcoal grill to high, fill a chimney with briquettes and light them. When the coals are hot and slightly ashy, dump them in the center of the grill. Rinse 2 dozen oysters under clean water. Put on a pair of gloves to protect your hands and use a small brush to scrub the shells. Keep scrubbing to remove dirt or grit. Set each oyster directly on the grill so they're in a single layer. Lay a wet burlap bag right on the oysters so they're completely covered.  Discard any oysters that are open. The wet burlap will trap moisture so the oysters steam as they cook. Put the lid on the grill to keep the heat high. Leave the oysters to roast until they open on their own. Remove the lid from the grill and transfer the oysters to a serving plate or platter. Set out cocktail sauce and saltine crackers to serve with the roasted oysters. Avoid storing roasted oysters since they don't keep well.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Calienta una parrilla a gas o con carbón a fuego alto. Lava y restriega las ostras. Coloca las ostras sobre la parrilla caliente y cúbrelas con una bolsa de yute húmeda. Cubre la parrilla y cocina las ostras por 10 a 12 minutos. Usa unas pinzas para retirar las ostras de la parrilla. Sirve las ostras asadas inmediatamente.


If you have a hard time reaching your brush into the back corners of your mouth, or if the brush is too large to fit behind your teeth to clean their backs, you should consider purchasing a new one. Make sure that the brush has soft bristles, which fit more easily into the gaps between teeth and will cause less irritation of the gums.  If your brush's bristles have "flattened out" during use, you should buy a new one. Bent bristles will not clean between your teeth, allowing plaque to build up over time. They can also scratch your gums, making them susceptible to bacteria buildup and infection. Flattened out bristles may indicate that you are pressing down too hard as you brush. Toothbrushes should be replaced routinely every three to four months. Brush at least twice a day, once before having breakfast in the morning and once after dinner at night, to avoid acid buildup due to breakdown of food by bacteria. Fluoride is a nutrient which strengthens teeth, slowing and reversing tooth decay.  Choosing a toothpaste with fluoride will ensure that you get the most out of each tooth brushing. If you live in the United States, look for toothpastes marked ADA Accepted. These toothpastes have been evaluated by the American Dental Association, and they all contain fluoride. While many people use mouthwash after brushing, this should be avoided, as it has been shown to remove the valuable fluoride which remains on your teeth after brushing. Using mouthwash before brushing will ensure that you retain fluoride on your teeth, and the mouthwash will "loosen up" any plaque or food particles on your teeth, making it easier to remove them with a toothbrush. Alternatively, you can use a mouthwash containing fluoride after brushing or wait a few hours and then use a regular mouthwash that doesn't contain fluoride. Teeth accumulate food particles and plaque (a sticky, bacteria-carrying substance) throughout the day. Regular brushing prevents accumulation of these substances, reducing bad breath and tooth decay. Brushing after a...

If you have a large area to clear, and you need to do it fast, it will be a lot easier if you have a snowblower.  This machine is a good alternative to shoveling when there’s at least 1 ½ inches of snow on the pavement or public space. Move up and down the length of the pavement. Try to point the snowblower's chute downwind if you can. Work in circles so the chute will throw snow to different sides. Before you use the snowblower, spray its exit chute with furniture polish or silicone. This will stop the snow from sticking. When snow blowing, throw the snow as far into the yard as you can so it doesn't stack up too high on the edges. After you buy the snowblower, read the owner’s manual. Make sure you are using the correct fuel in it because, if you don’t, you could harm the engine. For example, some engines can’t tolerate gas with too much ethanol in it.Don’t leave the fuel sitting in the tank if you’re not going to use it for more than 30 days. It can damage the fuel system because it will deteriorate inside of it. If you’re concerned about the environment, it’s possible to purchase an electric snowblower instead of using a gas-powered machine. Follow all the machine’s operating and safety instructions properly. The debris dispersed by snowblowers can break house or car windows, if thrown powerfully enough. Never stick your hand or a tool of any kind into the machine with it running. If you’re dealing with a big or tricky public space or pavement area, you might want to call a service that specializes in snow removal. Most Landscape companies in heavy snowfall regions offer snow- and ice-management services.  Don’t wait too long into a storm or the service may already be booked up. You will have to pay a fee depending on the property. Start booking snow removal services in mid-September if you know you will need it. Ask about any “roll-out minimums,” meaning the minimum level of snowfall for which they will dispatch clearing services. Also inquire as to their procedures during heavy snowfall. For example, do...

If you have a large budget, you can get elaborate with your decorations. If you have a very tight budget, however, you may have to use simpler decorations, or make your own. Store-bought party decorations can get expensive. You can save lots of money by making your own banners, pennants, and centerpieces. Are you hosting the party in the classroom, office, or at home? Is it going to be in a restaurant or rented party room? Depending on where you host the party, you may have to limit your decorations. Some places, such as offices ad restaurants, simply don't have the space. Other places, such as rented party rooms, may have specific guidelines that you must follow. If your space is small, focus on simpler decorations, such as balloons, paper cutouts, napkins, and paper plats. If you want to have a tropical-themed party in a few hours, and you will be the only one setting the party up, a full-blown Tiki bar and hula stage may be a little bit too much for you to handle. Remember, it is always better to start with fewer decorations, and add more if you have extra time, than to start with too much and end up not finishing. After the party is over and your guests go home, you will likely be exhausted. Cleaning up would be the last thing on your mind. If you are a person who does not like to clean or take down decorations, you might want to go for something simple—such as a few balloons or a centerpiece—as opposed to something that will take ages to take down—such has streamers, cutouts, banners, etc. These are the most popular decorations, but sometimes, they just don't fit the occasion, theme, or budget.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ten en cuenta tu presupuesto. Ten en cuenta la ubicación. Determina el tiempo que necesitarás para organizar la fiesta y la ayuda que tendrás. Considera lo que puedas limpiar después de que la fiesta termine. Ten en cuenta que no es necesario que uses globos, recortes de papel, carteles y serpentinas como decoraciones.


If you have a large hole in your yard, use some of the rubble to fill it back again. Cover any pipes or other objects with soil first to avoid damaging them with backfilled concrete. Move the rubble to a larger disposal container using a heavy-duty wheelbarrow. Concrete is very heavy and can break light wheelbarrows. As an alternative, you can use a hand truck. You’ll only need to move the pieces a few inches, rather than lifting them into the wheelbarrow.  Do not overload the wheelbarrow, or it could fall over and create additional work. Taking more trips with smaller loads will prevent you from overdoing it. Consider renting a power wheelbarrow. If you want to get rid of a large amount of concrete, this is your best bet. Many disposal companies have a reduced rate for disposing clean broken concrete. Ask in advance how full you can load it, or you'll be forced to remove the excess concrete or pay them to do so. In some locations, only landfills that accept "C&D" (Construction and Demolition) materials will accept concrete. The fees for landfills like this can be pricey, so it's best to check beforehand. Be careful - your truck will not carry as much concrete as you think. Use a powerful pickup truck and do not fill the entire bed. Half full will likely be fine for full-sized trucks, though a quarter full would likely be best for smaller ones.  You can also use a utility trailer for your truck, but be especially cautious in that case. An overly heavy trailer could smash into your truck or spill.  Building supply companies may take your old concrete for free if you call them in advance and agree to deliver it yourself. Broken concrete can be used to make a raised planting bed. You can also use pieces of concrete similar to pavers to create a footpath or stepping stones. Chunks with an interesting shape can be painted and used to make garden ornaments, too. You could also arrange the pieces into a circle to create a backyard fire pit.

If you have a large number of blackheads, or acne, considering using a face wash that contains salicylic acid.  Always wash your face with warm water to open the pores before applying the cleanser.  Always apply a moisturizer to your skin after you’ve finished washing your face.  To open your pores even more before cleansing, steam your skin by placing your face above a bowl of hot or boiling water. Always wash your face after any activities that cause you to sweat heavily. Exfoliation can irritate your skin if it is done too often.  Start with exfoliating once per week.  If your skin isn’t irritated, you can add a couple more times a week. Your hands touch everything else, so you want to prevent your hands from touching your face and transferring oil, dirt and bacteria to your pores.  This includes preventing your hair from touching your face if possible.  Your hair naturally contains oils that can get on your skin and block your pores. SPF protection should be in any moisturizer you put on any part of your body.  And you should use moisturizer with SPF protection year-round on your face. Powder-based make-up is also better than cream-based make-up.  Always remember to thoroughly remove all your make-up before you go to bed. Also remember that it’s important to wash your make-up tools and brushes regularly as bacteria and dirt build up on them over time.  Wash them with warm water and a gentle soap. Hydration is extremely important for all your skin and the best way to hydrate your skin is simply by drinking lots of water.

Lávate el rostro dos veces al día. Exfóliate el rostro al menos una vez por semana. No te toques el rostro. Usa un filtro solar a diario. Usa un maquillaje libre de aceites o un maquillaje mineral. Toma bastante agua.


If you have a large paint job planned, then use at least a 5-gallon (19 l) bucket for this project. Thinning a large patch of latex paint will ensure consistent results! For quantities under 1 gallon, such as 1 pint, use a smaller bucket. For every gallon (3.7 l) of paint you plan to use, set aside 1/2 cup (118 ml) of water. The water should be at room temperature. Do not pour all of the water in at once, adding too much water will ruin the paint. Instead, pour it into the bucket in increments throughout the stirring process.  While you must thin latex paint with water, the amount of water you must add varies from brand to brand. Higher quality latex paint is thicker, therefore requiring more water; lower quality latex paint is thinner, therefore requiring less water. Most paint will require 1.6 cups of water per 1 gallon of latex paint. Instead of adding all of this water at once, however, it is better to begin by adding less water and gradually add more water as needed. Never add more than 4 cups of water per 1 gallon of latex paint.  If you are using pints of paint, add 2 tablespoons of water per 1 pint of latex paint. Use a paint stir stick to mix the paint thoroughly with the water. Move the stick in upward and downward spirals. Periodically pull the paint stick out and observe how the paint runs off the stick and into the bucket. If the paint is still clumpy or sticking to the paint stick, add a little bit more water. Repeat until the paint is a smooth, rich creamy texture.  Never add all of the water at once. Add it to the paint in small increments. Before adding more water, pull the paint stick out of the paint to see if it has become smooth or remains clumpy. Repeat as needed. Instead of stirring the paint, you can repeatedly pour the paint from one 5-gallon bucket to another 5-gallon bucket. Hold the funnel over the bucket of paint. Use a ladle or scoop to run the paint through a funnel. If it flows freely through your funnel, then it will also flow through your sprayer nozzle. If it does not flow...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Vierte la pintura en un balde. Agrega agua. Revuelve la pintura y agrega agua poco a poco. Vierte la pintura con un embudo.


If you have a law firm with a family member, you might consider doubling the name to give a name to your law firm. For example, Morgan and Morgan would make a good name for a law firm with parents and children or two siblings, or even husband and wife practicing together. If you are staring your law firm with a few partners, use everyone’s last name to acknowledge all the partners. Blandino, Smith, White and Edwards would work for a firm founded by 4 partners. If you have some partners with plain names like Smith or Jones, these names might not stand out to your clients. Names like Sugarman and Hoopendahl are more memorable. These might be a better choice for the first name in a series of partner names. Often, if you are using partner names for the firm, each attorney would like their name to be listed first. Obviously, only one name can go first, so the partners will have to agree on whose name is first.  Remember that if you have more than two names in your firm’s name, people will be most likely to use the first two names to describe your firm. Because the first two names will be the most often used, these names need to be the most memorable, distinctive and easy to remember. If you are using names, try to limit the number of names you include. This will help people remember you. Shorter or fewer names will be easier to include on signs, business cards and email addresses. A name such as Oleskewicz might not be the best choice for a law firm name. Your clients might not be able to pronounce this name easily. If you use a few partner names or a combination of words, be sure to check what the initials spell. You might not like the abbreviation for something like Peterson, Edwards and Edgemont. You may have to carefully negotiate with your law partners about which name to use for your firm. Make sure that you include your partners in the name choosing process and come to a decision about a name that everyone is reasonably happy with.

If you have a legitimate complaint against the carrier, and you’ve had no success dealing with the various levels of customer service, you can always take your gripe online. Obviously, the more Facebook or Twitter followers you have, the better. And don’t hesitate to encourage your readers to re-post what you’ve written. Mention the carrier in the hashtag to your posts. You want to make sure that the carrier is specifically referenced, so that other dissatisfied customers of the company can find your posts more easily. If you find that your posts are getting a lot of views, you might want to consider contacting your carrier’s customer service department again, to let them know of the success of your campaign. They’d really prefer not to have their company’s public relations crisis management team get involved in the dispute if at all possible. That might be enough for them to let you go without a fight.

If you have a litter of kittens, they can be spayed as early as 8 weeks old.  If you are adopting a kitten from a rescue or shelter, they will usually spay her before she goes home with you, especially since kittens shouldn’t be taken away from their mothers until they are at least 8 weeks old.  In addition to your cat being at least 8 weeks old, she should also be at least 2 pounds in weight, before she’s spayed.  In order to avoid your cat going into heat, you should get her spayed before she’s 5 months old (unless there are medical reasons why she can’t go for surgery). If a cat is already in heat, or even if she’s pregnant, a spay can still be performed.  However, a veterinarian would need to examine the cat and determine how far along she is with her pregnancy before it’s decided if a spay is safe. Cats can be spayed at any age.  However, cats who are older than 7 years of age may need to have pre-surgical blood tests completed to determine if sedation (and therefore surgery) is safe. A spay surgery can be quite pricy if you have a low or limited income.  However, there are a lot of spay and neuter programs available all over North America that offer low-cost or free surgeries.  Speak to your veterinarian about what programs may be available in your area. Call your local SPCA, Humane Society, cat shelter, or cat rescue to ask if they know of any local programs. Use the search program on the following website — http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/pet_overpopulation/tips/afford_spay_neuter.html — to find a program based on your zip code or city and state info. Whether you decide to take your cat to your veterinarian or a spay/neuter clinic, you’ll have to book the appointment in advance.  Some clinics or veterinarians may want to examine your cat before they perform surgery, especially if you cat has never been to that vet/clinic before.  In many cases the surgeon will conduct the exam immediately before the spay surgery.  If the surgeon finds any issues, the surgery won’t be perform that day.  If the...

If you have a long trip before reaching your destination, try to ship milk using the instructions in Method 1. To take milk along with you, though, follow this method. If you are going to pack breast milk for a trip, make sure it is fresh. Either pump it immediately before packing, or remove the correct amount from the freezer. You can either use bags made specifically for storing breast milk, or you can use glass or BPA-free plastic containers. If you use glass or plastic containers, wash them with warm, soapy water, then rinse well. Dry them, and then fill them with milk. Make sure the cooler is not damaged or broken, and check to see that the lid closes well. If the ice melts, the breast milk won't be safe to drink. Spread regular ice over the bottom of a clean cooler. Do not use dry ice. When it melts, it emits poisonous carbon dioxide that you will be in contact with each time you open the cooler. Dry ice should be used for shipping only. Whether you use bags or containers, arrange them neatly over the ice. Pack it in such a way that you use the oldest milk first. Leave the cooler closed during your trip so that the ice does not melt. You should be able to count on the milk staying frozen for four to six hours. If the milk has thawed, you must use what you can immediately and get rid of the rest. If it is still frozen, you can put it in a freezer right away.

TL;DR in Spanish:

If you have a metal watch band, it may be attached with a spring bar and be replaced in much the same way as a leather or fabric band. The first thing to do is examine the point where the band is attached to the watch to determine which fitting it has. Look closely at the lugs at either side of the point where the band meets the watch.  If there are small hole on the outside of the lugs, this means that your band is attached with small screws that pass through the lugs. If there are no holes, it will be attached with just a spring bar. Now check to see if there are end caps on the band attached to the watch. End caps are the parts at the end of some bands that protrude out like wings. If it looks like your band does not have a flat end, it has end caps. If you have determined that your band is attached with small screws through the lugs, you will need a small screwdriver, or another tool to remove and replace the strap. You can use a flat head watchmaker's screwdriver to remove the screws. This is tricky work and requires a steady hand. Insert the screwdriver into the lug hole until you feel it catch in the screw and then turn it sharply anti-clockwise until the screw is loose.  Once you have removed the screw, try to carefully remove the spring bar piece that it was holding in place. You may need to poke through the other side of the band to do this, and you may need to remove the screw on the other side of the band first. Non-magnetic tweezers can be a useful tool to help you do this. Make sure you store all the piece carefully when you are done. A band with end caps is generally attached to the watch with a spring bar and no screws. To see if your watch has end caps, look at the space between the lugs. If it appears that the band flows into the watch case, and there are no gaps, you probably have end caps. If you are uncertain, turn it over and look from the back. A watch with end caps will have an extra metal piece at the end of the band. This will have two parts protruding out that may look a little like...

If you have a mobile phone, see if you have any signal.  Travel to higher ground to search for signal. If you manage to make a call, contact someone back home and tell them what happened and whereabouts you are. If you don't know where you are, look for landmarks on the horizon. If you can't find a cellphone signal, then explore the island carefully to see if there are any inhabitants with a radio or boat. You might have bright plastic or a flare gun.  Make flags from any bright colored material. These could be spotted during the day by a low flying aircraft. Keep the flare gun in a safe place that is quickly accessible. You will want to fire a flare if you see a passing ship or plane. You can also try to make reflected light signals with a large mirror if one washed up with you. If there is a sandy area, make a giant SOS sign on the beach.  Find large tree branches that you can arrange to spell SOS in the sand. This can be noticed by a passing airplane. You can also arrange large rocks in the same fashion. If you can't find enough material such as branches or rocks, you can write this message in the sand in big letters with a stick or even your hand. Keep in mind that you might have to fix this daily as the tide could wash parts of it away. The smoke and light could be noticed by passing aircraft or boats.   Be careful your fire is not too big, as it could be potentially hazardous to you, your shelter, and wildlife. Keep your fire as close to shore as possible so smoke can be seen by passing ships. Try to keep it going throughout the night so aircraft can spot the flames from above.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Intenta contactar a otras personas. Busca entre todo lo que hayas recolectado al llegar a la isla. Escribe un mensaje en la arena. Mantén la fogata encendida.


If you have a moka pot, you can put the sugar directly in with the coffee grounds. This makes a weaker espumita (foam), but it's easy to make in a rush and might caramelize the sugar a little more.  For moderate sweetness, use 1–2 tsp (5–10 mL) sugar for each espresso-sized serving of coffee. For extreme sweetness, use 1–1½ tbsp (15–22 mL). The traditional ingredients are dark, Cuban-style roasted beans and raw demerara sugar. Do not tamp down the grounds, especially if your moka pot is aluminum. If you pack it too tightly, it can block the steam and cause uneven extraction, or even blow the lid off your pot. Pour water into the base of your moka pot, using preheated water for best results. Pour to the base of the safety valve. Screw together the parts of your moka pot and heat over medium-low. You'll know your coffee is ready when the moka pot gurgles.

Mezcla los granos molidos de café con azúcar. Coloca la olla de la cafetera moka sin ajustar. Vierte agua. Haz infusión como de costumbre.


If you have a new dog in your home, gradually introduce him to other pets. You should do this well before you attempt to walk your dogs together. Dogs are territorial by nature, and need time to adjust to a new family member.  Keep the dogs separated at first. Allow the new dog free range of the house for only 15 to 20 minutes several times a day, at first. Allow the old dog to explore the house after the new dog is put away. This will let both dogs get used to one another's scent. The first face-to-face meeting should occur outside of the home. This will minimize potential aggression over territory. Keep both dogs on a leash and allow them to sniff one another and gradually make introductions. Not all dogs are going to walk well together, even if you strictly follow a training regimen. Some dogs are simply a poorly suited match, and should not be walked together.  Dogs should be around the same energy level and age. An elderly dog is not going to be able to keep up pace with a young, rambunctious puppy. You should also keep size in mind. Physically, a toy poodle is not going to be able to keep pace with a Great Dane. You don't want to walk with dogs if they're getting aggressive with one another. If you notice any negative body language during training, this is a sign your dog is stressed and agitated. You should cease training for the day and try again when your dog is calm.  Keep a close eye on both dogs' faces. An agitated or aggressive dog may have rounder eyes, dilated pupils, and may be showing a lot of the whites of his eyes. You also may notice his mouth is closed with lips wrinkled slightly. This is a sign of agitation. If your dog starts wrinkling his muzzle, this is a sign of aggression and you should separate the dogs. Pay attention to the rest of the body. A tail that's between the legs or held up without movement could indicate fear or aggression. If your dog is upset, his hair may rise along his back. He may also tremble or crouch when scared. When aggressive, a dog will try to make himself...
