Evergreen salvia grows from spring to fall. Like with most hedges, routine trimming helps keep the plant from overgrowing. Using shears, trim all of the branches down to the size you want the plant to be. Cut the plant evenly on all sides.  You should trim the plant at least once in fall, but consider doing it whenever you notice the bush becoming overgrown. Evergreen salvia plants are often used as sculpted hedges because they have hard stems and stay green all year. The plant’s flower blooms will begin fading around the beginning of fall. Trim off all of the flowers, then check for broken, rotting, or overgrown branches. Prune the branches sparingly, removing the damage. Avoid pruning the branches far back during the fall, since it can spur new growth that won’t survive the winter. Evergreen salvia bushes are generally dormant in winter. During this time, you can safely reduce them to a size that fits your yard space. Reduce the remaining branches to the length you desire, trimming the salvia evenly on all sides.  Cut off any branches that are tangled or too close together. Continue looking for and trimming away any signs of damage. Neglected or overgrown evergreens benefit from a more severe pruning session. First, cut the entire plant down, keeping all sides even. Then, look for any spots that look thick with branches. You can remove some of the branches to let in air and sunlight.  Although winter is the ideal time for this sort of pruning, if the salvia bush is in bad condition, you may need to take care of it right away. You can remove up to ⅓ of the branches. Thinning out the middle of the bush is important, but avoid removing too many branches. If the salvia is heavily damaged, you may need to cut it down further until it is 12 to 18 in (30 to 46 cm) in size.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Poda las ramas de la salvia durante todo el año para controlar su crecimiento y forma. Poda las flores y las ramas dañadas en otoño. Reduce el tamaño de las ramas al podar más rigurosamente en invierno. Corta la salvia si ha crecido demasiado a un tercio de su tamaño inicial en invierno.

Every certified wildland firefighter is required to meet certain physical standards when starting the job. Your physical aptitude for wildland firefighting will be tested through the work capacity test (WCT). Every U.S. agency or bureau requires you to complete this test before becoming a wildland firefighter. Even if your local department doesn't require it, you might not be selected for out-of-state service unless you have qualified.  The WCT is administered as part of the application process for many agencies. If you don't meet the requirements for the test initially, you have two weeks in which to take it again. If unsuccessful the second time, you will likely not be accepted for the position. The WCT is often referred to as the pack test because it requires applicants to hike several miles with a 45-pound pack. The WCT is administered when you return to duty each season to ensure you’ve maintained physical aptitude. If you're not in shape already, start your training as soon as possible. Running and hiking holding heavy weights while going up and downhill are excellent forms of exercise to prepare for the WCT. For most agencies with temporary assignments, the fire season starts in May, so you will want to give yourself a few months of proper training before this; beginning in February at the latest. If the WCT is part of the application process, you’ll need to begin your training program earlier in the year.  Contact the agencies you’re applying with and local fire science programs to find out if there are group training programs for the WCT in your area. Get a personal trainer through a local gym. They are great resources to help you safely and successfully reach your training goals, especially if they are familiar with training firefighters. Give yourself rest time throughout training. Do not run or hike every day. Instead, start with two or three days of activity each week, and gradually increase to five. Set yourself apart from other applicants by completing practice WCTs before applying. Many...

Every child is different, so tailor your activities to suit your child’s particular interests. Make these activities fun! Children tend to have tons of energy but minimal attention spans, so it’s important for the activities you choose to entertain them. Your child may struggle to filter out unnecessary information and focus only on the subject to be estimated. You can teach this skill with simple games. For example, you might put red and blue balls on the floor, then ask your child to guess how many red balls there are (ignoring the blue ones). You can have your child guess how many jelly beans are in a bowl, how many pennies are in a jar, or how many marbles are in a box. Emphasize the need for estimation, not counting or calculation. There are online games that help teach estimation as well. For example, your child can play “Guess It!” at http://www.theproblemsite.com/junior/estimation.asp, where Professor Puzzler will show various groups of colored dots, then take them away and ask for an estimation. This site will let you increase or decrease the amount of time the dots stay on the screen, too, letting you customize the game for your child. Explain to your child that when people estimate, they use words like “about,” “approximately,” or “more or less.” When you play guessing games, encourage your child to use these words and to construct sentences that reflect estimation. Remind your child that estimation is not about random guessing; it’s about making educated predictions. Instead of throwing out random numbers, he or she should use visual cues to get as close as possible. Repetition is key. Children need to practice these skills over and over again in order to master them. Vary the activities so that your child does not get bored, but don’t give up on teaching estimation. Children will be more interested and motivated if you offer a reward. If you play a guessing game with jelly beans, for example, you can give your child a few to eat when he or she makes a good estimate. If you use pennies, let your...

Every country has different customs restaurants or food stands. Learning about food and restaurant culture will help you avoid unpleasant situations or offending people.  Europeans generally spend more time in restaurants enjoying the food and conversations than eating quickly and leaving. It’s thus not uncommon to wait longer for servers to arrive at your table, take orders, deliver food, or collect your payment.  There are still many places that do not take credit cards, so always make sure you have enough cash. Tipping is generally 5-10%.  If you want to get your server’s attention, put your hand up in the air and make eye contact. It’s not uncommon to sit at a table with people you don’t know, especially in traditional restaurants (called Gaststätten) or beer gardens (Biergarten). If you find a restaurant that looks nice and you decide to try it out, it may or may not have a host who seats you. Either way, there are a couple of useful phrases that will help you find a seat in any location.  Remember that it’s not uncommon to be seated with people you don’t know, especially if the restaurant has longer family-style table. If you’re in a restaurant with a host or hostess, ask for a table by saying “Ein Tisch für zwei, bitte” (Table for two, please.). If you’re in a restaurant or at a food stand and want to know if a table or space is free, you can ask a server or the people at the next table/ seat “Sind diese Plätze noch frei” (Are these seats taken?) or “ist hier noch frei” (is this available?). If you need a menu or are just interested in the daily specials that many restaurants in German-speaking offer, you can ask your server, the host/ hostess, or the bartender.  If you want to see a regular menu, ask “Kann ich die Speisekarte bitte anschauen?” (May I see the menu?”). If you are interested in daily specials, which are often local specialties, you can ask your server “Gibt es eine Tageskarte?” (Are there daily specials?). Many restaurants now offer the so-called “Businesslunch,” a fabricated “English”...

Every day, find the opportunity to compliment her about small things: tell her that she's beautiful, or that you love it when she sings, or that you admire the way that she stood up to her frustrating boss. Don't just recycle the same compliments! Try to think of something new to say. This is not just about giving her a compliment – it's about challenging yourself to continually appreciate your girlfriend for the unique, beautiful, and always-growing human being that she is.  Find unique and genuine ways to phrase your compliments. Don't just say, "You're really beautiful." Say, "Sometimes I am just so captivated by how gorgeous you are. I can't stop staring at you today." Don't just appreciate her physical beauty. Show her that you appreciate her personality, her creativity, her intellect – the things that really make her who she is. Try to compliment her on the qualities that you know are important to her. A romantic declaration isn't always as playful as some of the other flirting methods, but it can make your girlfriend feel warm, safe, and loved. She might even respond to your words with a physical demonstration of that love! It's always important to check in with your partner and affirm your feelings, especially if you think that she might feel insecure about the state of your relationship. Tell her that you love her, or that you really like her, or just that you think she's awesome. When you feel it, say it! Send her a sweet "good morning" text message to wake up to. Leave a physical note on her bathroom mirror, her car window, or her locker at school. Make her a card, or draw her a picture, or write her a poem. Tell her that you love her, or that she is awesome, or that you're thinking of her. The medium and the message don't matter so much as the act of showing her that you care. If she is having a big day, write her a note that encourages her and inspires her. "Go get 'em, tiger! You're brilliant, and you're going to ace this test today!" or "You've got this. Play hard and good luck!" Bring her...

Every day, write down three to five things you're grateful for. Over time, this simple habit will make you more aware of the good things that happen in your life. Keeping a gratitude journal can also have positive impact on your well-being.  Write about little things as well as big things. Getting a promotion at work is a great entry for your gratitude journal, but so is wearing your favorite pair of colorful socks. It's a good idea to write in your gratitude journal in the evening, so you can reflect on the events of your day. Some good apps to look into include Gratitude Journal: The Life Changing App, Thankful For: Gratitude and Appreciation Reminder, and Uplifter. Another option is to say a few things out loud that you feel grateful for. This will help to start your day on a positive note. Starting your day with gratitude will make it more likely that you will be able to feel gratitude throughout the day. It will also help to improve your mood and decrease negative emotions. Meditation will help you establish the habit of mindfulness, which is essential for noticing and appreciating the little things in life. Incorporate some simple meditation exercises into your daily routine.  A good meditation exercise for beginners is to clear your mind and focus on the pattern of your breathing. The more you practice, the better you will get at tuning out distractions and keeping your mind on the present moment. You can also meditate on a word, a phrase, or a specific thing that you're grateful for. If you're grateful that someone helped you out, let them know! You can send thank-you notes anytime, not just when someone has given you a gift. Expressing your gratitude will make both you and the other person feel good, and you'll get into the habit of appreciating other people's kindness more. Consider sending a card or note to a friend who's always been there for you, a coworker who makes your life easier, or a family member who recently did you a favor. Get into the habit of noticing and appreciating the things that...

Every family member old enough to follow instructions should know what to do when a quake happens. The more you rehearse the actions, the more natural the self-protection reaction will be when the quake occurs and everyone will be less likely to panic.  Practice the "drop, cover, hold" drill in each selected safe place. Hunker down beneath the sturdy furniture or against the interior wall, cover your neck and head, and hold on. Make it a habit to hold quake drills once a month if you live in a quake-prone area. Make it fun, such as combining quake-drill night with takeout food or a movie together afterward. By making it a family affair and associating the rehearsal with positive things, being quake-safe becomes a fact of your everyday life, not something to be afraid of. Prepared people stay alive. Make sure that every family member is aware of the following:  If you're outside, get away from power lines, buildings, street lights and anything else that might fall on you. Be aware that glass windows shatter and can rain shards down onto the street, so buildings with large glass expanses are not safe to be under during a quake. If you're inside, do not try to run outside. If you do, you risk being hit by falling debris from awnings, glass shards, bricks, scaffolding, cement decorations forced off buildings, etc. Show family members how to use radios, cooking equipment, flashlights, etc. that are powered by electricity or other contained energy sources. Have a few practice runs; you could even have an entire night of camping in your home to see how it goes. Never cook indoors with fuel stoves or barbecues. Carbon monoxide is one of the by-products of burning fuels; it is odorless and colorless and it kills quickly. Always keep cooking gear outdoors and make sure every family member is aware of this need. Tell children that if they cannot operate the cooking gear safely should you not be there to help them during any emergency, that they should eat only cold food from cans, dried packages and (within 12 hours)...

Every few weeks, you should clean the outside of the swamp cooler. Turn off the unit. Use a damp cloth to clean off the outside of the unit. Just use water. Don't use any harsh chemicals that may cause damage. Cooling pads may only need to be changed twice each year, once at the beginning of the season and once in the middle of the season. However, pads may wear out faster. If you swamp cooler smells bad, or if the local water quality is lower, you may need to replace the pads more often.  Check the pads every few months to look for cracks and overall poor condition. During the colder months, you probably will not use the swamp cooler. Make sure when the cooler is not in use that you shut down the entire system. Turn off the cooler and unplug it. Cut off the water supply and then drain all the water.  Store the swamp cooler in a cool, dry area in the original carton. Swamp coolers can have musty smells. Mixing 15 drops of a scented essential oil, like lemon, lavender, or peppermint, or a mixture of essential oils can help make the swamp cooler smell better. Mix the essential oils with vinegar and place it in a spray bottle. Spray the essential oil mixture into the swamp cooler after you have cleaned it.

Every guy needs to have a pair of great fitting jeans. The exact fit is up to you, but they should fit you properly. Pants that do not stay up, and sag down, are not appropriate or appealing for school.  Have several pairs of blue jeans in different washes such as light, medium, and dark wash. Black jeans are also a great staple item for a guy's closet. Try to have different colors, styles, and fits in your closet to enhance your overall style. Besides the plain white T, you should also have several polo shirts, a few lightweight long-sleeve shirts, and some other crew neck tops in various colors and designs. This way, even though you are essentially wearing T-shirts and blue jeans everyday, you will not get bored with your wardrobe. You will have many items to mix and match. Be sure to have cozy sweaters to wear come winter in several colors such as brown, black, blue, and green. Throughout the year, especially when the weather gets cooler, you will want to have a few button up shirts with a collar. Whether these are cotton or flannel, it will be a great way to enhance your style, and stay warm. A hoodie is the perfect way to stay warm, and keep your look casual for school. Since your hoodie is meant to be worn almost everyday during cooler seasons, opt for a neutral color with either no design, or one that is simple so that your hoodie will match the rest of your wardrobe. A lighter or thinner hoodie is a good way to layer with a button down shirt underneath. Modern fashion includes all sorts of styles and color combinations, but there are certain colors that clash together and should not be paired up. To create an outfit that is complimentary together, keep color in mind. Colors that are directly opposite of each other on the color wheel are considered complementary such as blue and orange, pink and green, and yellow and purple. Wearing complimentary colors creates an attractive, color-rich palette. For example, you could wear an orange shirt with a blue checkered button down, or a dark green hoodie with a...

Every individual is different, but if you have DID, your condition will certainly affect your ability to work. What kind of job is right for you? It depends on how cooperative and collaborative your alters are. Talk to your therapist about which kinds of work might be best in your circumstances, but remember that it’s very important to avoid significant stress. Try not to take on a job that will have you constantly tense and worried. Consider, especially, what your responsibilities will be. You don’t want a child alter to emerge during a serious discussion or important meeting, and you don’t want to surprise clients or customers with inexplicably changing ideas, perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. You can try to control and set rules for your alters, but they may not cooperate. They may make mistakes, confuse your coworkers, leave your workplace, or even quit your job. Expecting to manage all of these possibilities will only add to your stress level, so accept the fact that you may not be able to keep a particular job. It is your decision whether or not to share your diagnosis with coworkers. If your DID is managed well and does not typically interfere in your work life, you may not have to. If, however, your boss or coworkers become confused, annoyed, or dissatisfied with your performance for reasons related to your condition, it may be helpful to explain. Otherwise, these people may struggle to know the “real you” and find it perplexing that your thoughts and ideas seem to shift for no reason. Even a relatively low-pressure job will sometimes cause you stress. Take care not to let this stress get too intense. Just as you do in your life outside the workplace, try to avoid conflicts, walk away from arguments, and practice relaxation techniques. Federal law safeguards the employment interests of people who are disabled, and this includes people with Dissociative Identity Disorder. If you can reasonably perform the tasks required of your job, then the law is on your side.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige el trabajo correcto. Ten expectativas razonables. Considera dar a conocer tu enfermedad a tus compañeros de trabajo. Controla el estrés relacionado con el trabajo. Conoce la ley.


Every long relationship involves conflict at some point. Staying calm will allow you to really hear the other person’s concerns. It will also make them more likely to listen to you, as well as help you avoid saying anything you’d regret. Sometimes the problem is what the fight starts out about, and sometimes it’s merely a symptom of a larger issue. It can be as simple as miscommunication, or as large as difference in world view. Figuring out what the problem is, though, will put you on the path to resolving it. This is especially important when dealing with conflict. A falling out can be what causes best friends to end their relationship. Listen with your friend’s best interest at heart, as well as your own. This will help you move toward resolution. Sometimes, simply saying, "I hear you" or "I understand" can be enough to make them feel heard. Other times, it's useful to ask questions that summarize their concerns like "So when you say that what I said hurt your feelings, you didn't know that I meant the best?" When you begin all statements in a conflict with “you,” such as “You did this” or “You were the one,” etc., you set a tone of blaming right from the start. Using “I” statements allows you to express your feelings in a conflict without immediately jumping to blame. For instance, you can say, “I felt that what you said hurt me deeply” instead of "You said that to hurt me." This is incredibly important in maintaining any relationship. If you begin to blame everything on your friend in a conflict, you will be distancing yourself from them. And they will feel like you don’t have their best interest at heart. If you know what you did helped lead to the problem, admit it. When taking responsibility, it's important not to give a half-hearted apology. Just as with politicians who never admit wrong, it's easy to see through an apology. Instead of saying, "I'm sorry that you were offended by what was said," say, "I'm sorry that I hurt you." It's harder than copping out of an apology, but ultimately it will help...

Every monitor has a native resolution and optimal refresh rate, and the display will look best when the settings match these specifications. This information can be found on the box your monitor came in, in the information that came with it, or online from the manufacturer. This can be found by pressing Windows key + X or going to the start button and finding Control Panel. From here, go to Display > Adjust Resolution, or just search for “resolution.” Or, from the Control Panel, go to More Settings, or locate Appearance and Personalization > Adjust Screen Resolution. Use the slider bar to match the resolution to your monitor’s native resolution. You can also try the recommended settings if you weren’t able to find your monitor’s native resolution. Some common native resolutions are:  800 x 600 1024 x 768 1920 x 1200 1680 x 1050 Go into Advanced Settings > Monitor tab, and then choose the correct refresh rate to match the monitor’s default. Click OK, and the advanced settings box will disappear. Click Apply, then OK.  Most LCD monitors have a refresh rate of 60Hz, but 75Hz tends to produce less flicker.  For CRT monitors, you generally want to increase the refresh rate as you go with a higher resolution.

Every morning and every night, it is important to wash off dirt and oil. Find a mild, cream cleanser that suits your skin type. Gently massage your face using light pressure and circular motions when applying to improve blood circulation and to make your skin glow. Depending on if you have oily, dry, or combination skin, there is a cleanser to help balance, repair, and moisturize your skin. This is the best way to thoroughly deep clean your pores. Steam your face once a week to loosen debris that may be embedded into your skin causing it to look dull. The steam works to widen any clogged pores and soften the skin in order to more easily cleanse out impurities, traces of makeup, dust, and dead skin cells that naturally build up.  Boil a pot of water with herbs like thyme, peppermint, rosemary, lavender or lemon. It you have sensitive skin try chamomile or lime. Carefully hold your face over the steam for about ten to fifteen minutes and then cleanse with face wash. This process will allow your skin to detox. For the best results, exfoliate your face immediately after steaming it. Exfoliating removes dead skin and debris that clogs your pores and causes a dull and patchy complexion.  Use a cream based exfoliator that suits your skin type and scrub with gentle, circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Don’t exfoliate your skin for more than 2 minutes, otherwise you can irritate it. Regular exfoliation prevents problems like blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and acne. These masks add moisture, luminosity, and work great to bring back the natural glow to your face. They contain vitamin C which is known to give an especially bright glow to your skin. The best time for applying a face mask is after steaming your face, because the pores are open and the mask will be able to penetrate deeply into the skin. There are great firming, nourishing, purifying and hydrating facial masks you can try that are designed for every skin type. You cannot have glowing skin if you don’t nourish it properly. Right before going to bed,...

Every music genre has its own rules regarding beats. Know what you're writing for and how those beats are usually structured. This is what gives a particular type of music its "sound". Start off with something very basic: four beats per measure (a sort of musical sentence), and eight measures long. This will give you a reasonable structure to start with. When the beat gets to the end of eight measures, it should be able to loop back to the beginning and sound okay. For a beginner there are two ways to do this:  Have very short, identical beat sections (da da da DA! da da da DA! etc.).     Have a general section which builds in the final measure and crashes back down to the basic beat of the first measure (think that drummer hitting all of his drums really fast before going back to a normal beat).    This will provide the main "beat" for your loop. Think of it as the baseline for your beat. A note on every fourth beat should do the trick. This will be the more noticeable drumming beat. You will need to come up with a pattern for this, usually by messing around (sorry, even the pros have to mess around until they find something that sounds good). Once you've got a basic structure from the bass line and the melody, you can add in effects. These are occasional instruments which add just a little flavor to your beat. Don't add in like forty instruments. This will just make your beat sound way too busy. Remember: the beat is only background noise to make the real music sound better. You want to feature your song, not the beat.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escribe para este género. Mantén el ritmo simple. Repite el ritmo. Logra un sonido constante. Logra una "melodía". Agrega efectos. No satures el ritmo.


Every new season, different shades and hues become fashionable. If you want to convey trendiness, finding a dress in a trendy color can do that.  Check out recent fashion magazines. Usually there will be lots of information about which colors are trending this season. Browse the clothes in stores. What colors do you see over and over? Those are probably the colors that are trending. Watch what women wear on TV and in the latest shows and movies. Pay attention to the characters who are the most fashionable. Usually several different color schemes are in style each season. Not all of them are going to look good on you, so pick the ones that match your coloring. Some combinations may include colors that don't suit your shade and undertone. In this case, just go for the combination that includes the most flattering colors. Even if you don’t look great in the trendiest colors, it doesn’t mean you can’t wear them at all. There are other ways to sneak the color into your outfit.  The further away from your face a color is, the less it matters if it flatters your coloring. Wear an unflattering, trendy color at the bottom of a long dress or in your tights. Wear unflattering but trendy colors in accessories away from your face like shoes or bracelets. Sometimes a little more makeup will do the trick too. Concealer, foundation, and blush can help tired, sallow skin look more lively. As a result, you’ll look better in more colors.

Every now and then you might like to try studying in a small groups with some of your friends and classmates. This can have advantages and disadvantages, and will depend on how well you work together. Obviously if you end up just talking about other things you are not studying your geography, so you need some discipline. This might be easier for some than others, so if you are trying to work and your friend keeps chatting, try to steer them back on topic and then maybe study on your own in the future. One of the big advantages of studying a group is that you can test each other and see where you have gaps. You can do this by using the flashcards you prepared. Pick up a card and read out the term, such as “Igneous rock!” and see who is able to describe and define it more precisely.  This also works with maps. Draw the outline of a country on a piece of paper and use it as a quiz question. Or say the name of the country and see who can draw it. You can test capital cities in this way too. You can keep score to make it more fun. If your exam has essay questions, it can be very helpful to do a few practice answers and go through them with a friend. Compare how you have approached the question and analyse which of you has best answered the question. Pick out the strengths and weaknesses of each of your approaches, but remember your friend might not be right.  You can ask your teacher if they will look at a practice answer. You could also ask a parent or older sibling. By being faithful and applying yourself to your studies, you'll be able to memorize important facts and do well on the exam. Keep your discipline and stick to your study plan. Remember that you reap what you sow. If you do miss a session, don’t give yourself a really hard-time, but make it up over the next day or two with some extra study.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Crea una cita de estudio. Evalúa los conocimientos del otro. Lee las respuestas de ensayo de los demás. Sigue una rutina.


Every page on your website should have a unique title. Each search engine displays the title of the page when it displays results, and may use the title to figure out what the page is about. This is an excellent place to use keywords, but only if they accurately describe the content on the page. Keep the title short, since search engines will cut off the title after a certain length.  If you're writing the HTML yourself, type in <title>Your Title Here</title> inside the  section. If you are using website creation tools, the title is usually generated from the name of your blog post. You may be able to change it in the settings or the "header" document. These should be helpful and easy for real people to read. They don't have a major effect on ranking by themselves, but they're still one of your best tools for bringing the right people to your site. Use keywords if they accurately describe the page, but focus on the reader, not the bots.  To add a description in HTML, type <meta name="description" content="Write two to five sentences here describing what this page is about.">. This will not show up on the page, but some of it may show up in search engine results. Think of headers as smaller titles for each section of a long page. These do show up on the page, so choose short headers that people can use to quickly find content. These come in several sizes, from
The Most Important

the least important
. If you are using website or blog software instead of HTML, you may need to read the FAQ to find out how to add descriptions and headers. Your website probably has many pages. Both search engine bots and actual visitors should be able to easily find every page, figure out what each is for, and navigate between them. Here are some tips to accomplish this:  Organize your site directory. Each folder in your site directory should have a clear purpose and name.

Every party girl should own a leather mini that accentuates her figure. Pair your form-flattering skirt with an eye-catching sequin top. Accessorize your look with a pair of heels, a little jewelry, and a clutch.  Create a classic party-girl vibe with a black mini skirt. Mini skirts should never be micro. They should hit your mid thigh. Leather skirts come in so many fun colors, from a practical black to an electric hot pink. After acquiring one or two basic leather skirts, invest in a few color pieces for your wardrobe. Use your leather skirts in multiple hues as the foundation for colorful ensembles or monotone outfits.  Wear black on black. For a chic, timeless look, pair your black leather skirt with a black top and metal-toned accessories. Wear white-on-white. Turn heads in a white leather skirt paired with a pure white top. Channel nature. Layer an earth tone top and accessories over a suede buckskin colored skirt. Pick pastels. In the spring, pair a pastel leather skirt with a flowy floral top. Add a pop of color to your outfit with a vibrant red, orange, green, or blue leather skirt. Often, leather skirts are worn to formal, festive, or office affairs. When paired with the right top and accessories, however, a leather skirt can look extremely comfy, casual, or sporty.  Comfy: Wear a light grey sweatshirt or oversized sweater and a black pencil skirt. Slip on a low pair of heels and grab a basic bag.  Casual: Put on a classic black leather pencil skirt. Instead of a formal blouse, wear an eye-catching screen-tee. Keep your accessories to a minimum.  Sporty: Pair a black leather skirt with a basic white tee and sling an oversized jacket over your shoulders. Trade out your strappy heels for a pair of tennis shoes and your luxurious accessories for a sports watch and backpack.

Every person experiences symptoms differently, so remember to use vocabulary that is as specific, detailed, and descriptive as possible. This can help your doctor diagnose you and follow the progress of your care. Use adjectives as much as possible. For example, if you are experiencing pain, tell your doctor if it is dull, throbbing, intense, or piercing. There is nothing you should ever feel embarrassed about with a doctor, so be absolutely honest with your doctor. Not being honest with your doctor can make it difficult to diagnose your symptoms.  Doctors are trained to deal with every kind of medical contingency, so it’s likely that a symptom that might embarrass you is something your doctor sees regularly. Remember that any information you give your doctor remains confidential by law. Most doctors will begin a medical interview with a question like "What brings you here today?". Preparing a one or two sentence answer that summarizes your symptoms will give your doctor context and help maximize your visit.  Some common symptoms include:Pain, weakness, Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, fever, confusion, breathing problems, or headache. For example, you can tell your doctor “I’ve been experiencing stomach pain and vomiting for the past two weeks.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Recuerda que debes ser lo más específico, detallado y descriptivo posible. Debes ser honesto con tu doctor con respecto a tus síntomas. Resume las razones de tu visita al doctor.


Every person has a different reason for meditating from health benefits to attaining a spiritual connection. Figuring out why you want to use mantra meditating will help you identify the best mantras to chant and time to dedicate to your meditation practice.  There are many different health benefits to mantra meditation including lower blood pressure and heart rate, decreased anxiety and depression, less stress, and greater feelings of relaxation and general well-being.  Mantra meditation can also have spiritual benefits such as liberating your mind and letting go of any attachment to things you can’t control. One of the goals of chanting mantras is to feel their subtle vibrations. This sensation can help you effect positive changes and enter a deep state of meditation. Each mantra has different vibrations and you want to find one that corresponds to your intention.  Repetition of mantras can help you disconnect from any thoughts that arise during meditation and also help keep you focused on your intention. There are many different mantras from which you can choose. The following are a few examples of powerful mantras that you can chant. Om or aum is the most basic and powerful mantra you can chant. This universal mantra will create powerful, positive vibrations in your lower abdomen. It is often combined with the mantra “Shanti,” which means peace in Sanskrit. You can repeat aum as many times as you wish for your chanting. Maha mantra, which is also called either the great mantra or Hare Krishna mantra, can help you achieve salvation and peace of mind. Repeat the entire mantra as many times as you like. It’s words are: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu is a mantra of cooperation and compassion and means “May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.” Repeat this mantra three or more times....

Every person has his own ideas about how the world should work, and many times, those ideas are in conflict. Whether or not you’re acting from an educated knowledge base, your values will still shape your viewpoint. Others are in a similar position, so accept that they may not agree with you.  The next time you engage in a debate, remember that the other person may also have a valid opinion. Focus on sharing your perspective without trying to change people’s mind. Remember that most situations are complicated and can't be judged on what is "right" and "wrong" -- there are many shades of gray. Set aside gossip and negative information that you hear about a person, culture, etc. Challenge assumptions before making a decision about a particular person or group. Don’t let yourself be swayed by falsehoods.  Keep in mind that people have their own motives for sharing gossip or negative opinions. For example, a person may talk bad about someone because of jealousy, or they may share concerns about a foreign concept out of fear. Think about times that you’ve had gossip spread about you. Would you want people judging you based on this? While it’s true that people often dress in a way that expresses who they are, that doesn’t mean that their appearance can tell you all you need to know about a person. Similarly, there are people of all different types within different lifestyles.  For example, don’t assume that someone who has a lot of tattoos and piercings can’t also hold a professional job. The next time you go out, study yourself in the mirror. What would people think of you based on your appearance on this one day? How would they be right or wrong? Labels don’t tell the whole story about a person. In fact, they limit your perspective on them. Try to see each person as an individual. Learn to see past a person's appearance or the people they hang out with, and focus on getting that person's individual story before you jump to conclusions. For example, don’t refer to people as Goths, Nerds, Jocks, etc. Let people...

Every person should consume a certain amount of vitamin B12 every day, starting from birth. The recommended daily allowances for vitamin B12 are:  0-6 months: 0.4 mcg 7-12 months: 0.5 mcg 1-3 years: 0.9 mcg 4-8 years: 1.2 mcg 9-13 years: 1.8 mcg Over 14 years: 2.4 mcg Teen girls and women who could become pregnant or who are breastfeeding should consume at least 2.8 mcg of vitamin B12 a day. A lack of vitamin B12 can cause symptoms such as fatigue, a loss of appetite, constipation, and weight loss. However, these symptoms can also be an indication of a different disorder or issue. It’s important that you speak to your doctor and receive an official vitamin B12 deficiency diagnosis before you take vitamin B12 supplements.  Your doctor may also be able to give you guidance of certain brands or types of vitamin B12 supplements that may be right for you. Vitamin B12 supplements can have adverse effects or fail to be effective when taken with certain medications, such as medications to treat acid reflux, GERD, and peptic ulcers. Medication to treat diabetes, like Metformin, can also reduce your body’s ability to absorb vitamin B12. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking vitamin B12 supplements if you are taking any of these medications. There are two types of vitamin B12 supplements that you can take, cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is the inactive form of vitamin B12 but it works as well as methylcobalamin, which is the active form of vitamin B12. Most supplements that contain methylcobalamin are more expensive than supplements that contain cyanocobalamin.  As long as you are not taking any medications that could interact negatively with vitamin B12 supplements, either form of vitamin B12 should be effective. Vitamin B12 supplements come in tablets, capsules, and liquid form. There is also a sublingual form that dissolves under your tongue. When buying vitamin B12 supplements from health food stores or in the vitamin aisle of your local pharmacy, you should look for information on the...

Every pound of excess weight puts about 5 pounds of extra pressure on your knees when you go up and down stairs, so losing excess weight is hugely important for protecting your knees. Studies have shown that people with arthritic knees lose 20 percent of their pain with every 10 pounds of weight loss. A warm up prepares your body for physical activity, thereby both reducing the chance of injury and improving performance. Generally speaking, the less frequently you exercise, the longer you will need to warm up. Some good warm ups include:   Starting slow — If you are doing an aerobic activity like walking, swimming, or biking, start slowly for five to 10 minutes, then gradually ramp up to full speed.   Step-ups — Step up onto a small stool or stairs, lifting your body with one leg. Step back down with the same leg. Do 10–15 step-ups per leg.  Hamstring curls — Lie flat on your stomach and bend one leg so your heel moves towards your buttocks. Repeat 10–15 times per leg.  Straight-leg lifts — Lie on your back with one leg bent so your foot is flat on the floor. Keeping your other leg straight, lift it until it is perpendicular to your body. Repeat 10–15 times for each leg. Cool down by gradually decreasing the intensity level of your aerobic exercise. Slow down until your breathing and heart rate have returned to normal. Cooling down helps your body to recover and reduces the risk of strains and injury.   Light cardio — Walk for five to 10 minutes until your heart rate slows, or bike or row at low resistance for five to 10 minutes. If swimming, swim leisurely for five to 10 minutes.   Walking lunges — Do two sets of ten walking lunges. As you step forward, transfer your weight to your front leg and bend both legs until the knee of your back leg is only an inch off the floor. Push off with both legs to step forward onto your other foot and repeat the process.   Stretching — Follow your light cardio or lunges with five to 10 minutes of stretching. Increased flexibility in your calves, hamstrings, quadriceps and...

Every rabbit, healthy or sick, should be checked over twice a day in warm or hot weather to look for fly eggs. This means picking the rabbit up and visually inspecting all areas including between the armpits, groin, under the tail, genital area, dewlaps, skin folds and tail base. You should know what you are looking for when checking your rabbit. Fly eggs are pinhead sized white glistening objects. Maggots vary in size from short thread like objects to plumper and worm like objects. Wipe away eggs with a clean disposable towel. Immediately remove any maggots with tweezers and then seek veterinary help.  If the skin is damaged, remove as many of those on the surface as you can and seek urgent veterinary attention for those that have burrowed deeper into the tissue. Eggs take a matter of hours to hatch out, so it is possible for a rabbit that was clear at breakfast time, to have fly strike by the evening. This is why it is important to check twice a day. This condition needs to be treated quickly and effectively or it could kill your rabbit. In addition to making sure you have thoroughly eliminated all maggots and eggs from your rabbit, your veterinarian will probably prescribe a preventative medicine to stop further infections. The fly life cycle involves the adult fly laying eggs. These eggs hatch out into maggots, and these maggots need to feed in order to grow and ultimately hatch out as adults. The maggots normally eat rotting flesh.  What happens with fly strike in rabbits is that the flies lay eggs in live flesh rather than dead carcasses. The eggs hatch in a matter of hours and the hungry maggots eat through live tissue. This is painful for the rabbit, and if the maggots are not spotted quickly the rabbit can quickly go into shock and die. Flies are unlikely to be attracted to really healthy tissue. Problems occur when the flies are attracted to damp skin, an infected area, or an area of skin covered in urine or feces. Thus rabbits with health problems or those kept in poor conditions where their skin...

Every real Prada bag will have this tiny square tag somewhere in the interior. The number is the purse factory number. A dustbag is a cloth covering similar to a pillow sham that protects a purse from dirt, sun exposure, and moisture. The font that’s on the dustbag will match the font on the Prada bag itself (the logo or the interior fabric font) if it’s a real bag. It will also have a drawstring.  There should be a label stitched in the dustbag that says "Prada" and "100% Cotton Made in Italy". Not all Prada bags come with a dustbag. If there isn’t one, ask the seller. Older purses may have a navy dustbag with Prada printed in gold. Each Prada bag comes with a sealed authenticity card that contains the serial number and purse style information. Signs of a forged authenticity card include uneven spacing between the letters and numbers, slanted lines, or low-quality printing.  The authenticity card should come in a black envelope embossed with the Prada logo. A printed logo signals it’s a fake.  Contact Prada via their website if you want to check that a serial number is valid. Fill out the contact form, making the subject line something like, "Please verify the serial number of my Prada bag." Include the serial number in the body of the email form.

Every refrigerator has one. This is a gasket (or seal) that is made out of molded rubber.  The function of the gasket is to keep cold in and to keep heat out of the refrigerator. Essentially, it seals the colder air in, and prevents air outside the refrigerator from seeping in. The reason this matters is because a bad or worn seal will allow cold air to leave the refrigerator, and warm air to enter it. This means that temperatures in the refrigerator could increase, causing the food inside it to spoil more quickly. It will also cost you more money in energy. If there are gaps between the gasket on the door and the refrigerator gasket, it’s not sealing correctly.  One way to tell that you need a new gasket is if your refrigerator seems to be running more frequently, or you just think it seems like it’s losing cold air. You could also inspect the door gasket for condensation or blackish mold. If you see either of those things, you probably need a new gasket because the cold air is making the water in the warm air condense. If you see cracks or thinning of the gasket, it’s also probably time for a new one. You could also test the gasket with a dollar bill. Put the dollar bill between the refrigerator door and refrigerator, and close the door on it. Then, try to pull it out slowly. If you feel it drag slightly, your gasket doesn’t need replacing. If it slips out quickly or has moisture on it or mold, get a new gasket. You will need to do one of two things: repair the gaps in the gasket or replace it altogether. Replacing a faulty seal will save you money by not wasting energy. It’s not very expensive to buy a new gasket. It just costs about $50 to $75, and it should only take about 30 minutes to replace. You will save energy, so it will pay for itself fast. *Close the refrigerator door and look at the gaps. Inspect them. How big are they and where are they?  Use petroleum jelly on the gasket to fix small gaps. Simply pull the gasket away from the channel to expose a couple of inches (.05 meter) in the door...

Every relationship develops at its own pace, and there's no need to fast forward to being "soul mates" or "best friends forever" just because things feel great. Cherish the novelty of it all and the excitement of having something new, because it'll never be new again. It can be nerve-wracking not knowing how a certain connection is going to unfold, but it's also exciting! Be patient and learn to savor that excitement. Don't try to push the connection into a stage that it's not ready for, or you'll miss the fun and create stress. If you had a blast when you went out on Friday night, you probably can't wait to replicate the experience as soon as possible. However, instead of calling up your friend first thing Saturday morning to make more plans, give it a few days. Savor the fun time you had and give your friend the chance to savor it, too. When it's time to hang out again, you'll both have had the chance to actually look forward to seeing each other, making your time together all the sweeter. Part of the reason people get disproportionately excited sometimes is because we tend to idealize others in the very beginning of a relationship. When you first meet someone with whom you have a connection, it's so easy to get lost in fantasies of how awesome your friendship or relationship might be. However, with those fantasies come high expectations, and sometimes those expectations are unrealistic! Right now you might think you want to spend all of your time with the person, but you're setting yourself up to be let down. Make it a point to remind yourself that this new person in your life is human, which means they're not perfect. They will make mistakes, and you need to be ready to cope and forgive, rather than act shocked that the person dares to be anything but perfect. Imagine your interaction with this person is like a tennis or volleyball game. Every time you initiate contact, you throw the ball to their side of the court. Then, you have to wait for them to send it back. You don't toss a whole bunch more just to...

Every relationship has miscommunications, so it’s important to tell him what you want. He might think you’re okay with your casual relationship or with having a fling. Tell him you expect him to commit to you and want him to leave his wife. Say, “You told me you were unhappy with your wife, so I always thought we’d get together. I want you to leave her for me.” Your man has probably told you that he’s planning to leave eventually but needs time. This is common, and most men don’t actually leave. This isn't fair to you, and you deserve better. Giving him a timeline makes him understand that you won’t be strung along. He may not leave, but you’ll avoid wasting time on him. You might say, “I want you to start divorce proceedings in the next 2 months. Otherwise, I don’t think we can be together.” You need to show him that you’re serious about your timeline. As long as he’s with her, don’t give him your full attention. Either stop accepting his calls and messages or take a long time to respond.  For instance, don’t immediately respond to his texts. Take several hours or days to get back to him. Don’t answer his calls. Instead, call him back when it’s convenient for you. While you might feel like he’d leave her faster if you tell her about your affair, this is unlikely to work. In fact, it might make him mad and more supportive of his family. Be very careful about who you tell, and try not to be the one to hurt her. Tell him that you want him to tell her the truth, then wait for him to make his choice. He may not tell her the truth. If this is the case, you’ll know that he’s dishonest. Since few men actually leave their wives, there's a good chance that he's not going to leave her. This can be a really painful experience, and the best way to handle it is to take a step back from the relationship. If you continue seeing him, he has no incentive to leave her. Instead, tell him that you can't be with someone who won't commit to you and that you're not going to continue the relationship until he leaves. Say, "What...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dile lo que esperas de su relación. Establece un plazo para que la deje y esté contigo. Limita tu comunicación con él después de decirle cuáles son tus expectativas. No trates de confrontar a su esposa o su familia sobre su relación. Pon en pausa su relación en caso de que no deje a su esposa.


Every relationship takes patience but this is especially true of stoners as it is widely known that marijuana temporarily disrupts short-term memory. For example, if your partner asks you to repeat yourself, understand that they are under the influence of a drug that impedes their ability to form new memories in the moment and don’t take it too personally. Many people use marijuana recreationally but others use it for medicinal reasons as well. Talk to your partner about their reasons for using marijuana. There are a vast array of medical conditions that cannabis can treat or help alleviate the negative symptoms of such as skin disorders, various forms of cancer, anorexia, chronic pain, sleep disorders, eye diseases, and others. While it is possible that your partner simply enjoys the sensation of being high, they may also have an underlying medical condition you should be aware of. Don’t be afraid to ask your partner and do your own research to better understand the effects of marijuana. Doing so can strengthen the bond between you two by helping you understand your partner’s perspective. Marijuana often creates a feeling of euphoria and relaxation, due to a release of dopamine in the brain, but other changes can also occur including: paranoia, heightened sensitivity to noise and lights, increased appetite, anxiety, increased heart rate, difficulty concentrating, decreased coordination, and a shorter attention span. There is also a “come down effect” after the effects of the drug fade which can result in the user feeling tired or sad. It’s useful to know about these common effects of marijuana, but every person is different so talk to your partner to find out how it personally affects them. Marijuana laws vary by state and knowing the specific laws will help you protect both your partner and yourself. After all, if you are living in a state where one can carry up to a certain amount of marijuana on them, you should ensure your partner never carries more than that amount. So far, four states (Colorado,...

Every school has its own set of rules that help students stay safe and learn well. You may need a hall pass to use the bathroom during class, for example. Learning the rules of the school will help you adjust and will keep you out of trouble. When you are starting a new school, you should follow your teachers' instructions very closely. You don’t need to be a brown-noser, but making a good impression with your teachers will go a long way to making a positive adjustment to a new school. Keeping up with your homework and making a solid effort to do well in school will help with your adjustment. You are already under enough stress with adjusting to a new school that you don’t want to add more stress with poor grades. When you move to a new school, your education so far is assessed and you are placed in your grade. Almost all of the time, this will mean that you are placed in the grade you are expecting (for example, if you left your old school in 4th grade and you’re moving over the summer, you’ll start in 5th grade). If you are in high school, meet with a school counselor to make sure you are on track with prerequisites and graduation requirements. When you are adjusting to a new school, you might feel lonely or shy. But every day, there are good things that happen, even if they are minor. Telling your parents about these things can help you realize that you are getting used to your school. Examples include: getting a good score on a test, saying hello to someone new, scoring a goal in PE, and so on.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aprende las reglas de la escuela. Haz lo que digan tus maestros. Haz tu tarea e intenta desempeñarte bien en la escuela. Asegúrate de que te hayan asignado al curso correcto. Cuéntales a tus padres todo lo que salió bien durante tus primeros días de escuela.


Every school, state, province, or country will have its own set of requirements on how sex education can be taught. In most cases, if you are a professional educator, you will most likely be required to follow a certain curriculum provided for you. For example:  In the United States, the U.S, Department of Health & Human Service identifies 28 evidence-based curriculums that are eligible to be taught. Your school or program may provide you materials and information from these curriculums. The Public Health Agency of Canada provides Canadian Guidelines for Sexual Health Education. It is a guide that provides specific curricula and teaching strategies to teach sex education. Canadian sex education teaches key concepts like health, health promotion, health education, sexuality, sexual health, and sexual rights.  In the United Kingdom, sex education is compulsory after age 11, and focuses on teaching children about reproduction, sexuality, and sexual health. Sex and relationship education (SRE) is part of the national curriculum and is based on the Personal, Social, and Health Education (PSHE) framework of knowledge. Guidelines can be found on the UK government website. In some countries, cultures, religions, and schools, sex education for children is not compulsory or mandatory. In these situations, teaching sex education to children can be difficult for many reasons. For example, sex education might not be welcomed and you may run into roadblocks before you are allowed to teach it. Before teaching sex education, you may have to:   Speak to local officials about implementing sex education in your area. This might mean speaking to schools, your community, or members of your government. Prepare resources and evidence that sex education is needed. Join an organization or group that advocates for the implementation of sex education for the community. Plan your own sex education curriculum. You may be able to teach sex education but there are little resources available to you that provide tested and reputable sex...

Every sealer is going to be a little bit different, so follow the instructions carefully. Take a moment to read all the way through them before you begin. Check the preferred temperatures for application on the back of the product. Some sealers may not set well if you apply them in weather that is too hot or too cold. Too much humidity may also be an issue, as it can keep the sealer from curing properly. If you're working in the garage, ventilation is easy. Just open the garage door. If you're working inside, make sure to open as many windows as you can. It also helps to have a fan facing outside to draw any fumes outward. Some sealers come in 2 parts. Pour the smaller can into the bigger can, and then use a stir stick to combine them. Don't take this step until you are ready to start painting! If you're using epoxy, you may only have an hour or so to get it down, so work quickly. It's best to work on 1 quarter at a time. Finish the whole quarter before moving on the next, and always leave yourself a way out so you don't have to walk across the wet sealer. Pick a paintbrush that's 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) wide and meant for applying paint or sealer. Dip the paintbrush into the sealer. Run it along the edges of the first quarter you're painting, where your rolling brush or paint pad may not be able to reach. Use nice, even strokes to apply the sealer. Pour the sealer into a painting tray. Dip the paint pad or rolling brush with an extension into the sealer, rolling it on evenly. Slide the paint pad or rolling brush along the edge you just painted. Keep going across the floor, adding more sealer as needed.  Always keep a wet edge as you move across the area. If you let the edge dry, it won't blend into the next area of sealer you apply. Any roller or paint pad meant for painting should be fine. As you work, move across the room, completing one quarter at a time. Make sure the sealer doesn't puddle in any place by going over any low areas a few times to spread it out. Be careful to cover the whole floor so...

Espera a que el sellador se seque antes de caminar o conducir sobre él. Añade una segunda capa según sea necesario.


Every smoothie has at least two main ingredients, and those are liquid and fruit. The liquid portion of a smoothie helps the blender out and makes the consistency smooth and creamy. For every cup of fruit you use, you should add ¼ to 1/3 cup of liquid to the smoothie. Good liquid options include:  Non-dairy milk, such as almond, rice, and soy Coconut milk or coconut water Water Dairy milk Fruit juice Green tea You can use any fruit or fruit combination in a smoothie, but it’s important to choose juicy fruit and creamy fruit for each smoothie. This will ensure a balanced consistency. Use fresh or frozen fruit for the most nutritional benefits. Frozen fruit will give the smoothie a cold and refreshing iciness.  Thick and creamy base fruits include mango, apple, peach, papaya, coconut, avocado, and banana.  Juicy fruit options for smoothies include citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruit, pineapple, watermelon, and berries such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. As long as you have a liquid and fruit you can make a smoothie, but there are also optional ingredients you can add to enhance the nutritional value or change the flavor or texture.  For added nutritional benefits, add about one tablespoon of nut butter, protein powder, hemp hearts, or a small handful of spinach or kale. For added sweetness, consider using a pinch of brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup, or a couple of dates. For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves. For extra thickness and the right texture, add a few cubes of ice to the smoothie if you used fresh instead of frozen fruit. To ensure the right consistency, to protect the blades from damage, and to prevent air bubbles from forming, you should always add the liquid portion of your smoothie to the blender first. You can then add your fruit, ice, and additional ingredients. Always start the blender on a low speed to prevent air bubbles from forming. If air bubbles form, the blades won’t be able to blend properly. If this happens, turn off the...

Every so often, you can come across some objects and colorful piles of rock called Relics. Relics (and Broken Relics) are the remains of the Ancient Civilization that apparently ruled the land you are now trapped in. While for some people these objects are an archaeological blessing, for someone trapped and scraping at survival they are either only nuisances or possible boons. Rocks are plentiful and renewable in the underground, so don’t be shy! Pick up as many as you can and want, since they’re a valuable resource. Now, when you encounter Relics, you are presented with the choice to break them to pieces or restore them. While destroying them utterly with a Hammer would yield uncommon, possibly vital resources, repairing them with Rocks will restore 20 points of Sanity. For late-game players, either yield would be a boon or a burden, depending on the state of their resources and mental health. Choose wisely though, since Relics are non-renewable.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Explora las ruinas. Toma algunas rocas. Repara las reliquias.


Every standard pool table with have 4 corner pockets and 2 side pockets. Depending on the design of your pool table, these could be attached to the table in various ways, though usually you'll find staples attaching each to the table. Lay on your back underneath the pocket and pry the staples out with a flathead screwdriver or staple puller. To prevent an errant stable falling into your eye, you do not lie directly under the pool table, and you might consider wearing some kind of eye protection. Again, the part holding the rails to your table depends on your table, but chances are good that bolts will be holding these in place. You can remove these bolts easily with a regular socket wrench. Slide each rail free. If the rails are attached in sections, you may need a helper to flip them over all at once and disconnect them. This is the most delicate part of the process, as a tear to your felt can ruin it completely. If the felt is held in place by staples, a staple puller may help prevent you from incurring damage to the felt.  Glued felt can be removed by gently pulling it backwards, never upwards or forwards, taking care not to rip it.  If you are planning to reuse the felt, fold it up to prevent wrinkles. There will likely be screws holding the slate of your pool table to its frame. These can be most effectively removed with a power drill that has been fitted with the right type of bit. In some cases beeswax is used on the screws to prevent damage. If this is the case, use a flathead screwdriver to scrape off the beeswax before unscrewing the slate. The rock that forms the level surface upon which you play pool must remain unblemished to protect the integrity of your future games. Slate usually comes either in a solid piece or three pieces. Lift the slate off the pool table legs and set it in your transport vehicle.  It's safe to stack the pieces of slate on top of each other, but be sure each are properly fastened and don't jostle against anything the might cause damage. To make sure that your slate is...

Every state has different requirements for adult adoption. For example, under the laws of Alabama, an adult can only be adopted if he or she: consents to the adoption and is related in any degree or is stepchild by marriage; is totally and permanently disabled; determined to be mentally handicapped; or consents in writing to be adopted by a legally married adult couple. It is very important that you check your state’s laws regarding adoption to make sure that you meet the minimum legal requirements. For a list of state-by-state adoption laws visit: http://adoptingback.com/adopting-back/united-states-adult-adoption-law/. Once you have determined that you meet the requirements for adult adoption in your state, contact the local court in the county in which either the adopter (the person assuming the parent role) or the adoptee (the person being adopted) live.  You can locate the county court by conducting an internet search for the name of the county and state and the words: “adoption” and “court.” This should direct you the appropriate website. Once you have located the correct court, call the clerk and ask what paperwork that you need to submit in order to file for an adult adoption. You should also ask whether there is a fee to file the forms. The clerk may direct you to the court’s website for you to download the proper forms or may provide you a list of documents that you must prepare  and file. Each state may request certain specific documents that the clerk will identify for you. Generally, courts will require some or all of the following documents to be filed in support of an adult adoption:  A Petition for Adoption or Petition for Approval of Adoption Agreement. An Order of Adoption. Spousal Consents. If your state does not have an adult adoption form, ask the clerk to explain the format and petition requirements. Generally, a Petition for Adoption will include:  The names, addresses, and ages of the adopter and adoptee. The name of the court and the county in which the adoption petition is being...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Verifica los requisitos de adopción de tu estado. Comunícate con el juzgado de tu localidad. Prepara los documentos requeridos. Redacta la solicitud de adopción. Si es el caso, redacta un consentimiento del o la cónyuge. Redacta una orden de adopción. Adjunta la documentación adicional necesaria.


Every state is different, with some classifying writing bad checks as a civil offense while others consider it a criminal offense. If you've made every effort to contact the check writer personally and via a debt collector but have had no luck, you'll eventually need to turn to the courts to help you collect on the bad check. If the amount owed is under a certain dollar amount as determined by your state, you can bring your case to a small claims court. You will not need to hire a lawyer for small claims court, but be sure to bring all documentation regarding the bad check and your written efforts to collect.  Small claims court limits range from $2,500 in Kentucky to $25,000 in Tennessee, with the usual amount around $5,000.  The results of your lawsuit against the check writer will ultimately depend on the court's decision on the intent of the check. The court will determine whether the check writer simply made a mistake (he thought he had the money in the bank and made an error in calculations) or was intending to defraud you, which should be provable by a history of bad check writing. Check by fraud is a much more serious charge and the check writer could end up in jail or prison, depending on the severity of the charges. In many states you will be able to recover not only the amount of the check but also triple damages of the check, court costs, interest, bank fees and attorney's fees if you used one. It would be useful to point out to the check writer that a $90 bounced check could result in owing over $1,000. If the amount owed is over the limit for small claims court, you will need to hire an attorney and have your case brought to criminal court. Criminal cases can be costly if you go that route. Consider prosecution only if the offender is a persistent one in your business or if the amount of the bad check is substantial.

Every time you get the urge to text while driving, ask yourself, “Is reading that text right this moment worth crashing my car?” or something similar. By thinking about the risk each time you want to text, it may help you get out of the habit completely. This can also help you learn patience. Having the patience not to text because of the risks can be a good thing. Many websites and cell phone companies have pledges that you can take against texting and driving. The pledge is your promise that you will never text and drive. By pledging, you acknowledge the dangers of texting and driving and that it can injure or kill other drivers.  By taking the pledge, you are honoring your word every time you refuse to text and drive. You can take the pledge at It Can Wait. Before you get behind the wheel, send a text telling someone the conversation will be on hold for now because you are driving. You may also use a code at the end of a text, like #D that lets the person you are texting know you are about to start driving. When you let someone know you are driving, you can tell them, “I am driving. I will not respond for the next 45 minutes. You can wait that long to respond so I’m not distracted.”

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pregúntate si vale la pena el riesgo. Asume un compromiso. Informa a tus amigos y familiares que estás manejando.


Every time you use your lenses you should empty out and refill the case with fresh solution. Do not just top it up, leaving the remaining drops of old solution in the case. Keep it properly refreshed.  Remember to close the lid of your bottles of solution after you use them.  Try to avoid touching the top/tip of the contact lens solution bottle to keep it clean. Replace the solution as per the instructions on the bottle. As well as cleaning your hands and lenses, it's important to keep your lens storage case clean and in good condition too. You should rinse it thoroughly with fresh solution after each use. Don't use water for this.  Don't use a towel or cloth to dry your case. After rinsing out your case, leave it open to dry in the air. You need to keep your case clean, but you will still need to replace it regularly. How often you need to do this will depend on the guidance of your eye doctor and the instructions for the particular product you have. It is, however, recommended that you replace the case every three months.

Every vehicle comes with a list of service recommendations to ensure it continues to operate properly.  You may be able to address a number of these things, but some many be beyond your level of mechanical expertise.  Check in your owner’s manual for service recommendations, then choose which ones you feel you can handle on your own. Some vehicles require timing chain or belt replacements every certain number of miles.  This may require removing the engine from the vehicle itself and should not be ignored.  Failing to properly maintain your timing chain or belt could result in serious damage to the engine. Once you have identified a maintenance service you’d like to have done to your vehicle, contact the local dealership for your make of vehicle and ask to speak to the service manager.  Ask for a quote on what conducting the necessary service may cost.  The service manager should be able to provide you with a fairly reliable quote, as they likely conduct regular maintenance on vehicles like yours often.  The dealership that specializes in your brand of vehicle is the most likely to have the tools and expertise required for difficult maintenance tasks. Some dealerships may provide a loner vehicle to drive while they work on your vehicle. You may also want to get service quotes from other dealerships in the area specializing in your make of vehicle, or even from local garages.  Some small garages may not have the equipment necessary to do specialized jobs on uncommon cars, but they can often fulfil most service requests. Don’t always opt for the least expensive quote.  Try looking up the shops you are considering online to read reviews from previous customers. Once you’ve chosen the place you’d like to conduct the maintenance on your vehicle, call them again to schedule an appointment to bring your car in.  Remove any personal belongings from your vehicle before leaving it at the dealership for service.  Make sure you know whether or not you can wait for your vehicle there or if you should make arrangements for...

Every word in the English language can be categorized as a specific part of speech. The parts of speech do not define what a word is. Instead, they describe how to use that word.  A noun is a person, place, or thing. Example: grandma, school, pencil A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun within a sentence. Example: he, she, they  Articles are special terms that proceed a noun within a sentence. The three articles are: a, an, the An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun. Example: red, tall A verb is a word that describes an action or state of being. Example: be, run, sleep An adverb modifies or describes a verb. Adverbs can also be used to modify adjectives. Example: happily, wonderfully A conjunction joins two parts of a sentence together. Example: and, but A preposition is used in combination with a noun or pronoun to create a phrase that modifies other parts of speech, like a verb, noun, pronoun, or adjective. Example: up, down, of, from  Interjections are words that express an emotional state. Example: wow, ouch, hey Most parts of speech have additional rules governing their usage. If you want to master English grammar, you will need to study these rules in detail. Make note of the following for your studies:  Nouns can be: singular or plural; proper or common; collective; count or non-count; abstract or concrete; gerunds Pronouns can be: personal, possessive, reflexive, intensive, reciprocal, indefinite, demonstrative, interrogative, or relative Adjectives can be used on their own, for the sake of making comparisons, or as superlatives. Adverbs are either relative adverbs or adverbs of frequency. Conjunctions are either coordinating or correlative. Verbs can be: action verbs or linking verbs; main verbs or auxiliary/helping verbs The articles "a" and "an" are indefinite, while the article "the" is definite. Single-digit numbers (zero through nine) should be spelled out in word form, but double-digit numbers (10 and up) should be written in numerical form.  All numbers within a...

Every year, billions of plastic bags fill up landfills. To help reduce this number, bring your own tote bags when you grocery shopping. Reusable bags made of canvas, jute, or recycled plastic are sturdier for carrying groceries and can make a huge impact on the amount of plastic bags you use.  You can find reusable tote bags at most grocery stores or online. If you forget to bring your own bag, many stores offer inexpensive reusable bag options near the checkout area. In some states, such as California, stores even charge around 5 cents USD per plastic bag if you don’t bring your own reusable bags. Buying foods like cereal, flour, pasta, dried fruit, and rice from the bulk section can save you money as well as lots of plastic packaging. Instead of bagging bulk foods up in plastic bags, bring your own reusable bags or containers to store them in. Cotton bags, glass jars, and stainless steel containers are several waste-free storage options. If you’re worried about how your containers will affect the weighing and paying, go to the customer service desk. Most stores have weighing options for personal containers, and cotton bags usually have their weight printed on the bottom to make the process easier. Bottled water, soda, and juice generate tons of plastic waste. Eliminate your use of plastic bottles by finding alternatives--bring a reusable bottle to fill up with water, make your own soda or seltzer water with a machine like a SodaStream, or buy fresh fruit to make your own juice. With frozen food products--particularly frozen meals--plastic packaging is practically impossible to avoid. Even the cardboard, “eco-friendly” packaging is usually coated with plastic. Avoiding these highly processed and packaged products will make you and the environment healthier. When you buy toys or electronics new, they often come in lots of excess plastic packaging. By shopping secondhand, you can eliminate that waste and find a good-as-new product for a fraction of the price. Browse thrift stores, online postings, and garage...

Everybody has boundaries, and they will usually let you know what they are. Your goal is to try to avoid crossing them. Boundaries vary widely from culture to culture and even from individual to individual, so it may take some time to learn a person's boundaries. Be forgiving of yourself and others when mistakes are made, but always try to do better in the future. Some boundaries that you might not want to cross include not going through other people's stuff without asking, borrowing things without asking, or showing up uninvited, just to name a few. Some people are fine with being touched but others don't like it. You should always ask before touching someone, such as when you want to give someone a hug or put your arm around them.  For instance, you might say, "Hey, can I give you a hug before we leave?" Be accepting if they say "no." It likely has nothing to do with you. Do not go around poking people constantly or even touching their arm if they've expressed they don't like it. Of course, if they are a good friend of yours and they don't mind, then, by all means, have fun. Otherwise, it's always a good idea to just keep your hands to yourself! Sometimes, people just need a break to be by themselves. If they tell you they need a couple of days to themselves, let them have it. Don't try to call every day or email them all the time. Just give them some breathing room.  Keep in mind that someone wanting to take space away from you may have nothing to do with you. Sometimes, people just need an emotional break or time away from others. If in a close relationship, you might have code words for when you need a break, such as "I think I need a time out" or "I could use a brain break for a day." Politeness goes a long way to avoid being annoying. If you're being polite, then by definition, you're not being rude. Mind your manners by saying "Please" and "Thank you," and do your best to be kind and gentle to the people around you. Think about how you'd want to be treated and apply that to other people.  This also...

Everybody has worries from time to time. Generalized anxiety disorder affects you long-term and anxiety is experienced in various situations and not around one specific event. You might worry about many things, and spend much of your day worrying. Despite efforts to stop, you cannot seem to get your mind off of your worries. With GAD, worry and anxiety are part of every day and can cause physical and emotional symptoms on a regular basis.  Your worrying may distract you from things you need to do, or you may constantly feel like something bad will inevitably happen. You may not know why you feel so worried.

Social anxiety can occur when meeting new people, speaking up in a group, or feeling like the center of attention.

Everybody wants to be around people who are happy and excited about life. Even if you don't feel happy all the time, force yourself to put a smile on your face from time to time. Not only will it instantly make you feel better, it will make other people want to be around you, talk to you, and get to know you.  Smiling is especially important if you are trying to attract a person because it shows that you are a positive person who is worth meeting. Smiling may also encourage your body to release dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin, all of which can help lift your mood and make it easier for you to interact with others. If you are at a party or other social gathering, make sure your body language says that you want to be approached. Make eye contact with people, give them a small wave or a nod, and look in front of you instead of at your feet or at the floor. Look happy and ready to talk to other people so that they are more likely to come up to you.  Avoid crossing your arms, frowning, or standing in the corner. These gestures send the message that you want to be left alone, and guess what? People will leave you alone. Put your phone away. If you look busy, people won't want to interrupt you. Your body language should say that you are ready to mingle. Whether you are talking to an old friend or somebody you have just you met for the first time, you should always show genuine interest in the conversation. Being fully engaged not only shows that you are compassionate, it makes for more stimulating and fulfilling interactions with others.  Don't try to tell people what they want to hear or what you think will make them like you more. Just be yourself. Avoid texting or talking on the phone when you are in the middle of a conversation, especially if the subject matter is important. Keep conversations balanced. Don't constantly talk about yourself, because this comes across as narcissistic. At the same time, being too quiet shows that you are uninterested in the conversation. Let's face it.
