Since there are many differences between dog breeds, it's important to determine if a Rottweiler is right for you. As with any breed, Rottweilers have their own distinct personality traits and breed-specific characteristics. The better you understand Rottweilers, the more aware you will be about the potential challenges related to raising a Rottweiler and how to react appropriately. These puppies become large dogs (around 110 pounds as adults) that are fiercely loyal to their owners and initially wary of strangers.  Rottweilers need firm guidance from someone who understand dog psychology and behavior, so it helps to be an experienced dog owner with a history of raising good-natured dogs. The potential owner needs to be honest about whether she possesses these skills. Because of a Rottweiler's physical size, a cross Rottweiler who won't get off the sofa when you ask, is a dangerous Rottweiler. To learn more about Rottweilers, go to local dog shows and talk to breeders and other Rottweiler owners.  Don't forget to check your homeowner's insurance policy. Some insurance policies are void if you get a Rottweiler or any other breed they have labeled as potentially dangerous, even if this labelling is erroneous. If you rent your home, you will need to contact your landlord before adopting a Rottweiler (or any other animal for that manner) to make sure he is welcome. Since there are many Rottweiler breeders, you'll need to take your time to select a quality breeder. Never choose the first breeder you find. Instead, look for a breeder who does all the appropriate health-screenings like the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals screenings for hip, heart, and eye health. To be sure of what you're getting, check for both conformation (show lines) and working ability (Schutzhund or tracking for example) since these show that the puppies look and act like Rottweilers. Ask any potential breeder plenty of questions, especially about early socialization with the mother and litter mates. It is crucial that the puppy is well...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Considera si un rottweiler es una buena elección. Elige un criador con buena reputación. Selecciona a tu cachorro. Vacuna y desparasita a tu cachorro. Considera colocarle un microchip y esterilizar o castrar a tu cachorro.


Since these nails aren't very durable, they may break or fall off before the nail polish starts to chip. Still, a top coat will help the color last longer and prevent it from chipping. Apply 1 coat of top coat to each nail, then let it dry. If you used acrylic paint, consider using a clear, acrylic sealer. This is especially important if you secured the fake nails using double-sided tape. Because they are a DIY alternative to professional fake nails, straw nails won't be as durable. They can fall off easily, and if they get bent, the polish can flake off.  Nails attached with double-sided tape may come off within a few hours. If you bump them against something, they may pop off right away. Nails attached with nail glue should last a few days.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Deja secar el esmalte, luego aplícale una capa final, si quieres. Trata las uñas postizas con cuidado.


Since they’re your crush, you probably have a general idea of their schedule. Think about when you’ll see them in class, in the hall, or during free periods. Figure out a time when you know you’ll be around them and will have time to strike up a conversation. Use common sense and change your plans if you need to. If you planned to talk to them at recess but see them cramming for a test or having a heated discussion with a friend, postpone your chat. You don’t want to force them into a conversation when they’re busy. A nice, "Hey! What's up?" works as a conversation starter in almost any situation. It’s an informal way to start the conversation, rather than launching into a pre-planned spiel.  Additionally, your crush might let you know if it is a good time to talk or not. If they say, “I’m just in a hurry to meet someone at the library!” then you know it might not be a great time.  It may sound silly, but using your crush's name can induce some warm fuzzy feelings right off the bat. Saying, "Hey, Brad!" sounds much more personal than "Hey!" If you can't make "What's up?" flow off the tongue naturally, open with anything that feels natural to you. You can say something like, "Are you excited for class today?", "Did you watch the new episode last night?", or anything else that can smoothly start a conversation. It doesn’t have to be anything major, but it’s an easy way to get in their good graces right from the start and hopefully launch into a full-fledged conversation. You can tell them that you like their new haircut, a piece of clothing, or any other appearance-related thing. Noticing something and complimenting it shows your crush that you pay attention, and provides them with the opportunity to tell you about it. If applicable, you could also mention a recent accomplishment or noteworthy achievement of your crush. You can say anything from, "Congrats on winning that football game last Saturday! I heard you played great," to, “I liked what you said in class today and I totally agreed.” If they engage in...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge un buen momento. Salúdala casualmente. Hazle un cumplido por algo. Observa su lenguaje corporal.


Since this frosting has such a soft texture, it's easiest to apply it to the cake while the cake turns on the turntable. This reduces the mess and ensures an even, smooth application.  Turn the turntable to work on a fresh area as you finish the current area. Use a flexible icing spatula or round-bladed knife to quickly work over the entire frosting and leave it smooth, with tiny peaks here and there. Always hold a cupcake in one hand when frosting it. Place a dollop of frosting on the top. Use a round-bladed knife to swirl the frosting around the top. Try to do this in one continuous movement. As you swirl, push the frosting to the edges of the cupcake. Leave a peaked center and a swirled edge.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa una base giratoria para un pastel grande. Vierte el glaseado en el centro del bizcocho. Empieza desde la parte superior, bajando suavemente hacia las orillas y los lados del pastel. Suaviza los lados y la parte superior. Para un cupcake o bizcocho pequeño:


Since this is a hard reset, you shouldn’t perform a reboot on your machine too regularly. Always try the Start/Reset button first. If that does not work and the machine will not reset, try rebooting the dishwasher. If you can access the cord, carefully unplug it from the power source. This will completely reboot the unit and should fix any problems with the machine. If you don’t have easy access to the machine’s cord, you can also cut power from the main power control. If your circuit breaker or fuse box isn’t close by, this may require some walking back and forth. Make sure to only cut power to that outlet, not other areas of your house. While GE suggests that you wait only 30 seconds before plugging it in or turning the power on again, sometimes your machine may need a longer break. Keep the power off for up to 10 minutes, then restore power. Your machine should be back to normal.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa el reinicio forzado como último recurso. Desenchufa la unidad para cortar la electricidad. Apaga la energía de la unidad de la caja de plomos o caja de fusibles. Espera entre 30 segundos y 10 minutos antes de activar la energía.


Since vectors have magnitude and direction, they are likened to arrows with a tail and a head and a length. Vectors can be said to have a "beginning point" and an "end point". The "sharp point" of the arrow is the vector's head and the "base" of the arrow is the tail. When making a scale drawing of a vector, you must take care to measure and draw all angles accurately. Mis-drawn angles will lead to poor answers. This is referred to as joining your vectors "head to tail". If you are only adding two vectors, this is all you'll need to do before finding your resultant vector A+B. Vector B may need to be slid into position without altering its orientation, called parallel transport. Note that the order you join the vectors in is not important. Vector A + Vector B = Vector B + Vector A Subtracting vectors visually is fairly simple. Simply reverse the vector's direction but keep its magnitude the same and add it to your vector head to tail as you would normally. In other words, to subtract a vector, turn the vector 180o around and add it. Actually the order in which you join the vectors does not matter. This method can be used for any number of vectors. Draw a new vector from tail of the first vector to the head of the last. Whether you are adding/subtracting two vectors or a hundred, the vector stretching from the original starting point (the tail of your first vector) to end point of your final added vector (the head of your last vector) is the resultant vector, or the sum of all your vectors. Note that this vector is identical to the vector obtained by adding the x,y, and perhaps z components of all the vectors separately.  If you drew all of your vectors to scale, measuring all angles exactly, you can find the magnitude of the resultant vector by measuring its length. You can also measure the angle that the resultant makes with either a specified vector or the horizontal/vertical etc. to find its direction. If you didn't draw all vectors to scale, you probably need to calculate the magnitude of the resultant...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Representa los vectores gráficamente dibujándolos con la cabeza y la cola. Para sumar, dibuja o desplaza el segundo vector de forma que su cola coincida con la cabeza del primero. Para restar, suma el "negativo" del vector. Si quieres sumar o restar más de dos vectores, une todos los vectores cabeza con cola de forma consecutiva. Dibuja un nuevo vector desde la cola del primer vector hasta la cabeza del último. Representa el vector resultante mediante su módulo, su dirección y su sentido.


Since yaws are easily transmitted through skin contact, it is best to let the people that live in your household get tested for yaws as well as take the treatment if they are infected. Treated areas which are previously endemic for yaws should be reexamined within 6 months and at intervals there after so that missed cases and their contacts can be treated. There is 100% cure rate among yaws patients in the early stages of this disease. Nevertheless, treatment cannot reverse or change the destructive or damaged changes in the late or tertiary stage of yaws. Here are the specifics:  Yaws lesions become non-contagious within 24 hours from the start of treatment. Joint pains resolve in 25 hours to 48 hours of treatment. Complete healing of the initial and secondary lesions occur within two weeks to four weeks from start of treatment. It begins by the organism entering the body through a skin defect such as a bite site, abrasion or scratch. After about 3 weeks a reddish, painless and itchy small swelling develops at the entry site. The primary lesion heals spontaneously after 3-6 months.  Yaws has an incubation period of 9 days to 90 days followed by the appearance of this primary papule, called the mother yaws.  The swelling then ulcerates with a honey-brown crust formation. The ulcer may enlarge in size to about 2–5 centimeter (0.8–2.0 in). The crust sloughs out to expose a reddish base. The discharge from the ulcer is rich in organisms rendering the patient highly infectious. There is a gap of 6-16 weeks between the primary and secondary stages. During this period the organisms spread via the blood to different parts of the body.  There are skin lesions similar to primary yaws but they are smaller in size (maximum 2cm). They tend to develop around the mouth, nose, axilla and anus. These lesions also ulcerate and discharge infectious fluid. They heal spontaneously within 6 months. There may be painful swelling of bone surfaces particularly hand and foot bones. After the secondary lesions heal, the patient...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Since you are already at church, use that as a topic of conversation. Start simple by asking what he has read in the Bible. Tell him about some parts you know well. Ask him about what his church experience has been like so far.  If the boy is serious about church and his faith, he’ll find it attractive that you read the Bible and take it seriously, too. If both of you have been in church for a long time, or even a short time, use that as a point of conversation. You’ll each be able to tell your story about going to church. Find him before the sermon or Sunday school class starts, and sit by him. Whenever there are weekend parties, Bible studies, or trips, seek him out and spend time with him. Make the most of the fact that you are already part of a group with him.  Ask him if is attending upcoming events where you could hang out more. Say, “We have that water balloon fight this Friday. Are you going to it?” Follow up by talking to him there. If you see a seat open by him, go up and say, “Do you mind if I sit here? I need someone to help me pay closer attention.” It’s important to find a place to interact with him outside of church, but a one-on-one date may not be the best place to start. Get a group of friends together for a bonfire or game night and invite the boy you like to join you.  He will see you interact with other people, which is important. This also takes the pressure off of both of you because there are other people for you to hang out with. Tell him to bring one or two of his friends, and invite a couple of your friends, too. This way you will both have some people you know, and you’ll meet each other’s friends. Say, “Jimi, a few of us are going to J. Gumbo’s to grab some lunch after church. Do you want to bring a couple of friends and join us?”

TL;DR in Spanish:

Habla con él acerca de la Biblia y de tu fe en la iglesia. Pasa tiempo con él cada vez que haya eventos en la iglesia. Invítalo a una reunión o una salida grupal.


Since you are going to be working on the pixel level, the image size doesn't need to be big. The entire screen in the original Super Mario Bros. game is only 256 x 224 pixels. Mario himself is only 12 x 16 pixels! Since you're going to be working with individual pixels, you'll want to zoom very far in so that you can see the grid and where each individual pixel is placed. You may need to zoom in over 800% to clearly see the pixels in the grid. This may seem like a simple concept, but if the line is even one pixel off in the middle it will be noticeable. Practice drawing straight lines with your mouse or stylus so you don't have to switch to the line tool every time. Curves should occur with regular breaks in the pixel line. For example, a good curve would start with a six-pixel break, followed by a three-pixel break, followed by a two-pixel break, followed by one-pixel breaks. The breaks would then reverse to make the other end of the curve. A bad curve would start with a three-pixel break, followed by a one-pixel break, followed by a three pixel break, or any other odd progression. Like the Pencil tool, you'll want to set the eraser to erase one pixel at a time. If the eraser is too large, it will be difficult to erase pixels with precision.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Crea una nueva imagen. Amplía la pantalla. Practica dibujar una línea recta. Practica dibujar líneas curvas. Utiliza la herramienta Borrar para corregir errores.


Since you are sending an envelope from Great Britain to an international recipient, you should still position the address per Great Britain's requirements.  This means that the address should be positioned in the bottom left corner on the front of the envelope.  When positioning the first line, be sure to plan ahead so that you leave enough room for the several lines of text, including a line for the country.  You should also plan to leave a margin of about 1/2 an inch (1.3 cm) around the entire address. While some countries prefer that the address is centered, both in placement on the envelope and the alignment of the text, you still want to stick with Great Britain's conventions for formatting.  In Great Britain the correct format is for all of the address lines to be aligned against the left address margin. International mail has a long journey, so you want to make sure the address remains clear in order for it to be processed properly.  When handwriting the address, use a pen with permanent ink in a color that is clear against the color of the envelope.  Do not use pencil or anything that could be easily smudged or rubbed off during processing.  If you are printing an address label, choose a font that is easy to read and use a color that stands out against the label.  For both handwritten and printed addresses, size the text so it can be ready easily, with a text size comparable to a font size of 10 - 15. Be sure to include their first name and surname, spelling each correctly.  Because it is international mail you should include a title with the name even for close friends and family members.  If you are sending the envelope to a person at a specific organization, you should include the name of the organization in a separate line underneath their name.  Some country-specific things to remember when writing out the name:  Remember some countries use alternative titles (e.g., Herr or M. vs. Mr., Sra or Mme vs. Mrs., Mlle vs. Miss, etc.). When addressing mail to France or Monaco, write the recipient's...

TL;DR in Spanish:


Since you don’t have a lot of time, focus on the bits that you think will most likely be on the test or that will get you the most points. Read the bolded words in the text and their definitions. If there aren’t any bolded words, then skim for other important information to review – dates, events, etc. If you are taking a math test, review the formulas during your skimming session. Make sure you understand how to solve problems using the formulas. For definitions or math formulas, flash cards are a great way to review. Flip through them as quickly as possible and try to say the definitions or complete the formulae without looking at the back. Repeating information out loud is very helpful for remembering it. If you made flash cards, repeat the information on them out loud, since you will most likely not be able to use them during the test. This is a great way to get you focused on what you need to remember for the test. Keep in mind the big points that are covered in the questions, and write them down. If your teacher has given you a study guide, this is great news! Read it carefully. If you have time, read it again. And again. If it is a study guide with questions, hopefully you already answered the questions. Most likely, the material in the study guide is what will be on the test. Whether using the chapter review questions or a study guide, try focusing on the most important questions and repeating the answers to yourself quickly. A good last minute memorization technique is to use one of these devices for the answers of your review questions. Musically inclined students may find it helpful to make up a rhyme or song to memorize information. A mnemonic device is any memory association tool you use to help yourself remember something; the most common kind is a name mnemonic such as ROY G BIV for the colors of the rainbow (Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet) Depending on the subject, make a quick list of important dates, characters, plot points, or formulae. Anything that you can take from memory...

Since you know you have at least your class in common, that’s a great way to start getting to know each other — by talking about the work, the teacher, your classmates, etc. But over time, you want to get to know other parts of each other, too, so talk about things that have nothing to do with class, or even school. Don’t try to hard to be “cool.” What you think looks “cool” might come off as distant or condescending. It’s much easier for a girl to talk to a guy who’s just being himself — open and honest.  Smile and laugh easily — girls love guys who enjoy themselves. Face your body toward her when you’re speaking to her. Don’t be afraid to make eye contact with her when you’re talking. Once you’ve broken the ice, you want to get to know each other. Try to find out what she’s interested in. Ask what her favorite classes are, whether she does any after-school activities, and what she likes to do in her spare time.  Try to steer conversations toward topics that interest her. This will make her look forward to talking to you, since she’ll know you enjoy listening to her talk about something she loves. You want her to get to know you, too, so talk about the things that are important to you. If you just let her talk about herself all the time, then eventually, you’ll stop liking her because you’ll feel like the friendship is all about her. It’s important to maintain a balance, so you’re both sharing parts of your life with each other equally.  Be open and honest. Don’t just talk about the things you think she wants to hear about — talk about the things that are actually important to you. Use your discretion. There are some things that you shouldn’t talk about with someone you don’t know very well, so start with topics that are harmless and light. Try to keep a balance between how much you talk and how much she talks. The best way to spend time with someone is to have friends in common with her. Hanging out in a group with mutual friends will be less nerve-wracking than talking to each other one-on-one, and you’ll...

Since you will be using essential oils on your body and around your home, it is in your best interest to select high quality essential oils. There is no standard of quality that all essential oil companies must abide by, so you will have to consider several things before you buy an essential oil.  Have you heard of the company and/or used their products before? Only purchase essential oils from reputable companies. Is the price of the essential oil comparable to other similar products or much cheaper? Be wary of cheap essential oils because they may not be pure. Does the bottle list the Latin name for the plants used to make the essential oil and/or the country of origin? These details indicate that the company caters to knowledgeable consumers and is therefore more trustworthy. Does the packaging have a statement about purity? Look for products that contain 100% essential oil and steer clear of ones that contain less or that do not provide a percentage. How does the product smell? If the product does not smell like you expect it to smell, then it might not be a quality product. Does the packaging include a statement about organic growing practices or “wildcrafting”? If not, then the plants used to make the oil may have been mass produced and/or sprayed with pesticides, so you may want to avoid these products. Some essential oil producers offer multiple types of the same essential oil. These different types, or chemotypes, feature slight variations in the scent because of the climate, soil, environment, and other factors. The benefit of choosing a specific chemotype of an essential oil is that you can customize your dilutions. For example, basil has two primary chemotypes: sweet basil oil and Reunion basil oil. Sweet basil oil has a sweeter aroma while Reunion basil oil has more of a woody aroma. Essential oils degrade more quickly when exposed to light and heat. Make sure that the product you purchase is packaged in a dark (usually brown) glass container and that it is well sealed. Avoid purchasing essential...

Since you will now need to wrap your own thumb, hold the injured hand with the palm facing upward. Use a crepe bandage, or at most an ACE bandage (which can be purchased at a pharmacy), and scissors. Put the end of the bandage against the underside of the wrist of the injured hand, at the hollow where you would take your pulse. Then wrap the back of your hand and your pinkie finger with the other end of the bandage. Pull the bandage over the thumb using your uninjured hand. You can also try adhesive sports tape, but this may irritate the skin and make it harder to remove. Start by wrapping the wrist in a comfortable, not too tight loop, going around the wrist two times. Make sure you are not cutting off your circulation with the anchor. Your hand and/or fingers will tingle, feel cooler to the touch and start to turn blue if the wrap is too tight. Start with the end of the bandage at the inside of your wrist, at the hollow where you would take a pulse. From that point, wrap the bandage around the heel of your thumb and across the back of your hand and diagonally across toward the tip of your pinky finger. Wrap around all four fingers, then bring the bandage back behind the fingers and cross it diagonally along the back of the hand. The wrap should end at the side of the hand below the pinkie finger. Wrap the bandage around the wrist again and then make the same loop across the back of the hand to the pinky, around the fingers, and back down across the back of the hand again. Wrap the bandage around thumb and anchor it in place to the diagonal strip of bandage going across the back of your hand. Do not wrap it so tightly that it begins to cut off circulation. Move the bandage slightly up your thumb with each wrap, overlapping the bandage. The farther up your thumb you wrap, the greater the support. When the thumb is sufficiently wrapped, cross the bandage over the back of the hand and down to the wrist. You can cut off any excess wrap. You can do this by pinching the nail on your thumb for two seconds. Look at...

Since you won't be able to see underwater nearly as well as you would with goggles on, have a look around before you go under the surface. If in a pool, know how close you are to which walls and how close you are to anyone else swimming alongside you. If swimming in fresh water, know your orientation and which directions lead to shallow or deeper water. Before you submerge, have your eyes closed and take a big breath. Be sure wherever you're thinking of swimming is somewhere you can get to on one breath if you'd like to remain underwater the entire time. Otherwise you'll need to come up for air. To avoid running into anything or anybody, know the direction you'd like to go before heading underwater. Keep in that direction as best as you can until you reach your destination. Be sure when you swim that both sides of your body are in sync to avoid drifting to the left or right. Provided you want to stay underwater, be sure to always push yourself slightly down with each stroke to counter-act your own buoyancy. Use this as well to know how close you might be to the surface. Stick an arm up at any point towards the surface, and if your arm reaches air, you may need to go down a bit. Unless it's a particularly short distance, you'll probably need to surface and catch your breath. Try and notice how far you've swum and if you've veered from your desired path at all. Take a moment to readjust before submerging again. If they know where they're going, ask if they wouldn't mind if you held on (lightly) to their ankle or reached out in front of you from time to time to check your bearings. This is helpful if you're especially concerned of becoming disoriented or running into something on your way to where you're going. Know that at any moment you could return to the surface and continue breathing normally. If you run into anybody, don't worry; apologize and make reference to your lack of goggles when you were swimming underwater.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mira a tu alrededor. Cierra tus ojos y aguanta la respiración. Trata de nadar en línea recta. Mantén tus manos y piernas en constante movimiento para mantenerte sumergido. Sal para tomar aire y recuperar la orientación. Nada detrás de alguien con gafas. Mantente calmado.


Since you've been working on your script for a long period of time, save the file and focus on something else for a few weeks. That way, when you come back to edit it, you'll be able to look at it with fresh eyes. Start work on another script while you wait if you want to keep working on other ideas. Open your script and read it from start to end. Look for places where the story is the confusing or where characters are doing things without moving the story forward. Write your notes down by hand so you can remember them better. Try to read your script out loud and don't be afraid to act out parts based on how you think they should be performed. That way, you can catch dialogue or wording that doesn't work as well. Ask a friend or parent to look over your script to see what they think. Tell them what sort of feedback you're looking for so they know what to focus on. Ask them questions when they're finished about whether parts make sense or not. Work on story and character revisions first to fix larger problems in your script. As you work through each revision, work from larger problems, such as dialogue or confusing action sequences, to minor problems, such as grammar and spelling.  Start each draft in a new document so you can cut and paste parts you like from your old script into the new one. Don't get too nit-picky with yourself or you'll never finish the script you're working on.

Since your avocado is open and vulnerable to the world, keep it from turning brown and too mushy with an acidic agent like lemon juice. You want it to ripen, not ruin. Place the two halves back together and wrap it in plastic wrap as if it were whole. Place it in the refrigerator. If you don't have plastic wrap, use an airtight, resealable container. The length of time it needs to ripen all depends on how far along your avocado was in the process. Take it out and prod it -- when it becomes soft and seems edible, give it a taste test. If it's not quite there, put it back in.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Rocía unas gotas de jugo de lima o limón sobre el aguacate cortado. Envuélvelo con plástico adherente transparente. Comprueba la maduración.


Since your corporate profile should include the company name and address, you can use this as a header. Consider using an eye-catching logo instead of simple type to make your profile more interesting right away. The purpose of the profile is to give readers a brief overview of the type of business your company conducts. Briefly explain what your business is all about. Do you sell beer? Do you manufacture children's toys? Make sure it's clear. Specifically, you should include whether the company is private, public, or a partnership. Explain whether there is a board of directors, an executive staff, or officers who make the major decisions. This information can usually be summed up in one sentence. Your mission statement should tell readers your vision for the company's future as well as the strategies you are using to achieve those goals. Your mission statement should also include a brief discussion of your target demographic and financial data, including mergers and acquisitions and relationships with investors and shareholders. Show readers how your company has evolved by providing a brief chronological history. Include how the company began and the changes and developments that brought the business to where it is today. It's okay to brag a little in your corporate profile. Mention important partnerships, success stories and benchmarks. Explain how the corporation gives back to the community or sponsors nonprofit groups and schools. If your business was recently recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in your region, you want people to know! Part of the corporate profile should be about the people who make the business run. Briefly discuss your highly trained staff and what you do to keep morale and standards high. Include information about corporate policies regarding the environment, public relations, health and safety, unions, and labor and human rights. Consumers, analysts and members of the media will likely do a little research to confirm what they read. If you include inaccurate or...

Since your mouth may have stitches or an open wound, it requires special cleaning for the first few days. Do not brush your teeth, floss, or use mouthwash, or rinse your mouth out in any way for 24 hours. After that, follow this routine:  If you have stitches and the gum covers the extraction site completely, then you can start brushing your teeth gently after 12 hours. Just make sure that you avoid the extraction area. Rinse your mouth gently, without too much pressure, with saltwater every two hours and after every meal. Brush your teeth gently, being careful not to touch the wound. Floss your teeth carefully without going near the wound. Let your body's energy focus on healing, rather than other activities. In the first few days after getting surgery your mouth may be swollen and painful, so it shouldn't be difficult to take a few days off of work and school to allow yourself to rest.  Don't do a lot of talking. Let your mouth be still as the sockets begin to form a scab and the swelling goes down. Don't do unnecessary exercise. Lie or sit on your sofa for the first 24 hours, then do light walking for the next few days. Avoid touching the area of the extraction and also try not to sleep on that side for two to three days. Drink plenty of cool water after the surgery, but stay away from beverages that might interfere with the healing process. That means avoiding the following drinks:  Coffee, soda, and other drinks that contain caffeine. Wine, beer, liquor, and other drinks that contain alcohol. Soda, diet soda, and other drinks that are carbonated. Hot tea, hot water, and other drinks that are warm or hot, since these can loosen the scab that is forming over the socket. Don't use a straw when drinking liquids. The sucking motion puts stress on the wound, and can cause the scab not to form. Chewing tough foods is a sure way to break up the scab that is protecting your fragile nerves from exposure. Eat mashed potatoes, soup, applesauce, yogurt, and other soft food for the first couple of days. Graduate to...

Since your pectoral muscles are directly beneath your boobs, any increase in their size will make your breasts appear larger. Push-ups are a classic chest exercise, and target your pectorals while strengthening the rest of your body. Do planks. Lay on your stomach, then prop yourself up on your forearms. Hold this pose for as long as you can, aiming for longer times each time you exercise. This exercise will improve your chest strength while working your whole body. Do dips using two chairs. Place them on carpet so they don't slide, facing each other. Then kneel between them with your palms on the seats, holding your weight with just your arms. Tuck in your legs and lower yourself, then raise back up to the starting position. Repeat, adding more repetitions as you get stronger. Flexible plans will allow you to learn a moves over a couple of sessions and then continue to practice them on your own. The better your posture, the more your chest will be pushed up and out. Work to strengthen your back muscles so that good posture is comfortable, and then consciously correct yourself when you feel yourself begin to slouch.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ejercita los músculos pectorales. Haz algunos ejercicios simples tres veces a la semana en casa, solo con tu peso corporal. Puedes contratar a un entrenador personal. Practica una buena postura.


Since your puppy is bound to feel a lot of separation anxiety at first, it's a good idea to put their latched crate inside your bedroom or just outside the door for the first few nights.  It's tempting to put them far away from you where you won't hear their whining, but this will only make the transition harder for your puppy. They're far more likely to settle down if they're somewhere where they can see you. You can gradually move your puppy's crate further away if you prefer them to sleep elsewhere in the house. However, it's a good idea to keep your puppy within earshot until you know that they can make it through the night without having to go to the bathroom. It's very likely that your puppy will whine when you first close the door of their crate. They might continue for a long time while you try to go to sleep. Even though they're impossible to tune out, it's important that you do not respond to their cries.  If you respond to their cries, you are teaching them that whining behavior will get them what they want. This can lead to serious issues down the road, not just with their sleeping. Do not punish your puppy for whining. If you scold your puppy, you are still teaching them that whining will get a response from you. You do not want to give them any response. Puppies learn from consistency. Resist any urges to “make exceptions” for one night. Wear ear plugs, close the door, or turn on white noise to help you ignore the puppy. No dog likes to pee where they sleep, and puppies have very small bladders. If your puppy starts suddenly whining in the middle of the night, they likely have to be let out for a bathroom break.  Take your puppy out for a 3-4 minute walk and then put them back in their crate and close the door. Puppies are generally not able to “hold it” through a full night until they reach four or more months of age.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Coloca la jaula cerca de ti al principio. Ignora sus aullidos antes de dormir. Responde a los aullidos.


Since your vagina is located near your anus, it’s important to wipe front to back after urinating or defecating. Fold a 12 in (30 cm) piece of toilet paper several times to create a small rolled up piece. Press the toilet paper between your labia near where your urethra ends. Wipe back towards your anus and over it, if needed, and then discard the toilet paper. Repeat as needed until your vagina and anus are clean.  Use soft, white, unscented toilet paper that does not contain dyes or other irritating chemicals. Even after urination, wiping from front to back will help to keep bacteria and fecal matter away from your vagina. with mild soap and warm water only. Avoid washing out the inside of your vagina. Wet the outside with warm (not hot) running water. Then, apply a small amount of mild soap to your vagina to cleanse it. Rinse away the soap completely, and then use your fingers to spread the vaginal lips apart. Let warm water flow over your vagina to cleanse between your labia and over your clitoris. After you’re finished washing, dry off with a clean, dry towel.  Don’t use any soaps with perfumes or dyes in them. Stick with a mild, unscented soap or a feminine wash. Don’t scrub your vagina. You can use a clean washcloth to wash the outside of it, but be gentle. Never reuse the same towel again after using it to dry off your vagina. Bodily fluids and residue from condoms and other intimate products can cause infection, irritation, and odors. Take a shower after having sex and wash your vagina as you normally would. Apply mild soap and rinse it with warm water. Then, allow the warm water to run over your vagina as you hold the labia apart with your fingers. Dry off with a clean dry towel. Your vagina is self-cleaning because of the fluids it secretes, so there’s no need to clean the inside of it or use scented products on it. These products can upset the delicate balance of bacteria in your vagina and cause irritation. If you’ve noticed an unusual smell that bothers you, see your gynecologist to find out if...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Limpia la vagina desde adelante hacia atrás cada vez que uses el baño. Lava las partes externas de la vagina Lávate la vagina después de tener sexo. Evita las duchas vaginales, las toallitas vaginales con fragancia y los desodorantes. Cambia las compresas o los tampones cada cuatro o seis horas durante el ciclo menstrual.


Since you’ll be loosening debris, applying mud, and generally making a mess while you’re repairing your ceiling crack, it’s smart to put down a large sheet of plastic beforehand. This way, once you’re done fixing the crack, you can just throw away the sheet of plastic and not have to worry about cleaning your floors. You can also remove cloth or fabric-covered furniture from the room since it will be difficult to clean paint and dust off of it. An A-frame will provide stability as you stand on it to reach your ceiling. Make sure that all four legs are stable and flat on the floor before you climb up, and avoid making sudden movements while you’re on the ladder. If your ladder has a fold-out section across from the top rung, you can use this to hold your tape, mud, and other repair supplies.  A-frame ladders should be available for purchase at a local hardware store or home-supply store. A 6- or 8-foot (1.8-2.4 m) ladder will be most useful. If you have a low ceiling, you could feasibly use a step-ladder to fix the crack. The disadvantage, though, would be that you’ll be more precariously balanced on top of the step-ladder, and won’t have a way to set your patching materials within reach. Position your 6-inch (15 cm) drywall knife at about a 15° angle against the ceiling near the crack. Slide it up under any loose, unattached pieces of drywall paper that are torn near the crack. Use the knife to slice these off, being careful not to damage the drywall beneath. Drywall knives will be available at any hardware store, paint shop, or home-supply store. Many sizes will be available, although the 6-inch (15 cm) is typically most effective. This tape will be adhesive, so it will stick firmly to your ceiling. Use long strips of tape to cover the entire crack. In fact, depending on the length of the crack, you may be able to cover the entire thing using one strip of tape. Position the tape so it’s centered directly over the crack, and press it firmly onto the ceiling. Do not apply more than a single layer of tape.  Go...

Since you’ll be shooting the northern lights at night, you’ll need a camera that allows you to manually adjust the different settings. An automatic camera won’t be able to adjust in the dark, so make sure your camera has a manual setting or your photos won’t turn out.  If you’re not sure if your camera has manual mode, check the settings wheel on the outside of the camera. If one of the settings is a letter “M,” then your camera has manual mode. If you’re still not sure, check the owner’s manual that came with your camera. Don't forget to bring extra batteries for your camera. Wide-angle camera lenses let you capture a wider view of what you’re photographing. The northern lights take up a large portion of the sky, so if you want to capture the surrounding landscape in your photos, you’ll need a wide-angle lens on your camera. Because you’ll need a longer shutter time to take photos of the northern lights, your camera will need to stay perfectly still or the photos will turn out blurry. A tripod will prevent your camera from shaking during your photo shoot. Any tripod will work, as long as it’s steady and tall enough for you to work with. You’ll be photographing the northern lights at night when there are freezing temperatures. Wear multiple layers under your jacket, thermal underwear and socks, a scarf, and a winter hat. Pack a pair of thin gloves to wear for when you’re adjusting your camera settings, and a thick pair of gloves to wear over them when you’re not working with your camera.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Llévate una cámara que tenga modo manual. Coge contigo una lente u objetivo de cámara de gran angular. Empaca un trípode para montar la cámara. Trae ropa de abrigo.


Since you’ll be working with a razor-sharp utility knife, a pair of protective work gloves is a must. Consider strapping on some cushioned knee pads to spare your joints unnecessary discomfort while kneeling for long stretches. To prevent possible injury, avoid handling the utility knife while you’re not wearing gloves. There’s a chance that the utility knife could scar the flooring beneath the mats once it clears the thick rubber. For this reason, it’s a good idea to set up your materials in an area where minor damage won’t be noticeable, like a basement or garage floor. If you don’t have a surface that’s ideal for cutting, you can also protect your subfloor with a layer of cardboard or plywood. Extend a tape measure across the floorspace lengthwise, then widthwise. Multiply the two numbers together to find the square footage of the area. You can reference this number against the dimensions of the rubber flooring to determine how much material you’ll need to remove.  Be sure to write down the necessary measurements so you don’t forget them. The size of each individual mat should be clearly indicated on the packaging. Drag a graphite pencil or piece of chalk lightly over the surface of the mat. This will make it easier to see where you’ll be cutting. A visual guide will also allow you to get on your mark again quickly should you happen to lose your progress.  Using a straight edge when tracing out your measurements will result in straighter, more precise lines. The chalk or pencil markings should wash away without difficulty once your project is complete.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consigue el equipo de seguridad adecuado. Elige una superficie apropiada para cortar. Mide el área donde instalarás la colchoneta. Marca las dimensiones especificadas en la colchoneta.


Sincerely apologize for your wrongdoings. Feelings of guilt aside, seeing how painful this process is for your partner should be motivation enough to admit your errors. Science has show that those who are willing to offer up a mea culpa are also generally happier people. A heartfelt apology usually includes a statement that not only acknowledges your error, but also shows remorse for injuring the other person. Confessing aloud that you've wounded your spouse shows them their feelings matter too. If you're still at a loss for words in saying you're sorry, here are a few suggestions:  "I'm so sorry I lied to you. You did not deserve to be treated that way." "This was all my fault. I apologize for hurting you." "Lying was wrong and I'm sorry I violated your trust." If you’re committed to making the relationship right again, suggest a joint therapist visit. Dealing with the fallout of infidelity can be a long and messy process. A trained counselor might be able to help you and your partner put the pieces back together. It will take a long time to rebuild trust. Being completely truthful with your partner from this point forward, however, shows that you're willing to work hard to make your relationship work. You may need to agree to some terms that will help your partner to trust you again. For example, you might agree to check in more often when you are out or to allow your partner to have access to your phone, email, and social media accounts. Therapists emphasize that in order for a relationship to truly heal after an affair, it requires sharing insights and feelings with your partner. Take time to understand your motivations for seeking extramarital companionship and then share what you've learned with your spouse. Some useful questions to ask of yourself include:  "Was I feeling lonely?" "If so, why?" "Why did I choose that person over my spouse?" "What feelings did I have for my former lover?" While 70% of couples will go on to work on the relationship and try to stay together, some couples will not stay...

Sing all the time to exercise your voice and keep it strong. Practice singing a variety of songs with different tones and ranges. The goal is to get as much practice in as many different areas as possible. Sing in your room, in the shower, in the car, with friends. Finding a good vocal coach is probably one of the most important things you can do to further your music career. Even people who naturally have an amazing singing voice can benefit from professional lessons. Singing lessons teach you more than just how to sound good, they also help you to:  Use proper breathing techniques Stay in key while under pressure Clearly enunciate and articulate your words Access a wider vocal range without straining Build your confidence The goal here is to discover what makes you stand out from everyone else. You may have to experiment to find your own voice and what sets you apart from everyone else.  If you have the ability to alternate between alto and soprano, use that skill to show off how your talent spans a wide vocal range. Maybe you have a raspy voice and a gritty vocal style that works great for soul music.  Playing an instrument like the guitar or piano can also set you apart and help you stand out. Once you feel confident in the strength of your voice, take the next step to showing it off to strangers. It’s typically much easier to sing to yourself or in front of friends and family who care about you. Singing in front of a group of strangers takes a lot more courage! Sing karaoke at a local spot or join a school or church choir. While these types of performances are “safe” because they are done for fun or with a group for a good cause, they are still a good starting point for putting yourself out there. After you’ve nailed stage performances, branch out and try something new. Try being a guest singer with a local band or singing on the patio at a restaurant. Singing at any sort of venue that is new or different for you will help.  You may not get paid when you are first starting out, but you will probably be...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Practica, practica, practica. Mejora tus habilidades vocales tomando clases de canto, ya sea en línea o en privado. Busca algo sobre ti que sea único y desarrolla tu propio estilo.

Ten una canción a la que siempre puedas recurrir que te salga perfecta cada vez. Practica cantar tus propias versiones de diversas canciones.


Singers have a bad reputation for being bad musicians. Don’t fall into that trap. Be a good to great musician. Anything less, and you're wasting your time and everyone else's.  Master the electric guitar. That’s a staple in rock bands. Or study piano. Also know how to read music; even better, know how to write music as well. Be realistic about your talent. If your voice isn’t what you want it to be, learn an instrument instead. Parents are rarely realistic about their children's talent. Have persistence and patience. Don't be in a hurry. It takes time. Perform in small venues until you are used to performing. Being a solid performer takes practice. Get a thick skin. Be prepared for what you might feel is vicious criticism. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t make it big right away. Expect to face a lot of rejection. If you want to become a rock celebrity with your band like blink-182, Angels & Airwaves, or NOFX, then you need to have songwriting chops.  Each of those artists has written unique songs and did not get famous off of singing covers. Perform your own songs. Learn the music fundamentally. Your complete understanding of the notes and rhythms must be solid before you can work on stylizing your performance and songs. You’re not going to be a rock singer if you don’t get out there and play. Rock bands have many parts to them: Lead singer, drummer, bassist, guitarist.  There is no substitute for practicing a lot and then performing. Start out small: perform for family and friends. It would also help if you performed to a group consisting of an individual or individuals who know how to sing rock. After you perform, ask for suggestions and feedback. How can I become better? What do I need to tweak? If you're serious about becoming a rock star, you will have to create a demo recording so that producers can hear what you sound like when your voice is mixed on a professional quality CD. These are essential for those hoping to make commercial music.  Use only your best songs on it - four to six at the most. The...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aprende a tocar un instrumento y conviértete en un buen músico primero. Escribe tus propias canciones. Inicia una banda de rock. Elabora una demo. Pon tus sentimientos en tu canto.


Singing is a great way to release pent-up emotions and help you feel more relaxed, positively affecting your entire parasympathetic nervous system. Singing loudly also exercises your vocal cords and throat muscles, which in turn stimulate the vagus nerve.  Singing also leads your body to release oxytocin, which produces feelings of joy and well-being. If you’re unable to sing loudly, humming softly and even gargling water can also work your throat muscles and thus stimulate your vagus nerve. According to one study, generating positive emotions in yourself through loving-kindness meditation and enhancing your sense of social connection can lead to heightened activity in the vagus nerve. Note that your meditation needs to include compassionate thoughts of others in order to reap this benefit.  In other words, the act of meditation alone will not necessarily stimulate your vagus nerve; having thoughts of love and compassion for others is what’s most important. To practice loving-kindness meditation, start by sitting in a comfortable pose and focusing on your breathing to clear your mind. Then, begin to mentally repeat 1 or more mantras that reflect compassion for yourself and for others, such as “May I be happy” and “May my coworkers be healthy and strong.” Laughing is arguably the easiest and most enjoyable way to stimulate your vagus nerve. Watch a TV show, movie, or stand-up comic to receive a variety of health benefits just from laughing.  Some of the other health benefits accrued by laughing include increasing circulation to different parts of the body, lowering your blood pressure, and releasing chemicals in your body that are beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Try watching a funny show or movie with other people; people tend to laugh more easily when enjoying something funny with others! Speaking in a calm, even tone may help you to soothe yourself. When you hear a soothing voice, such as the voice of a loved one or trusted friend, your body releases oxytocin. On the other hand, not hearing soothing...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Canta una canción alegre y enérgica que sirva como catarsis emocional. Practica la meditación incluyendo pensamientos de amor y compasión. Haz algo que te haga reír mucho. Modifica el tono de tu voz cuando converses con las personas.


Singing is like exercise: you should get nice and warm beforehand to avoid injury. Sing in your middle range, then low range, then high range, and back to the middle. Relax, then try again carefully. If you feel your voice begin to strain, stop and give yourself some time to rest. Be kind to your voice. After all, it’s your ticket to beautiful singing. If your heart has ever beat a little faster when a song transitions from a soft melody to a loud, emotional chorus, you probably understand the power of dynamics. The more you practice, the louder and softer you'll be able to sing healthily. Start singing a comfortable pitch and then crescendo to loud then decrescendo to soft. When you start out, you will probably only be able to sing from mp (mezzo piano or moderately quiet) to mf (mezzo forte or moderately loud), but your range will increase with practice. Practice the lip trill Celine Dion uses, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NFz2Ff6ZlM. Sing from do to so, back to do quickly back and forth, trying to hit all of the notes. Do this in increments of half steps on different syllables. This “voice stretching” makes for a more flexible voice. If you need help staying on pitch, use an app like SingTrue. Practice all of your vowels at every pitch (high, low, and in between). There are very few pure vowels in English. Instead, you will normally encounter something called diphthongs, a weird-sounding word that simply means two or more vowel sounds joined together. Some pure vowels to practice are: AH as in "father", EE as in "eat", IH as in "pin", EH as in "pet", OO as in "food", UH as in "nut", EU as in "could", OH as in "home". Practice these often, especially if pitch gives you some trouble. Most coaches will recommend 20-30 minutes a day when starting out, as practicing scales will also strengthen the muscles used for singing. Buff voice muscles will give you better control. To practice scales, identify your range (tenor, baritone, alto, soprano, etc.) and know how to find the notes that...

Realiza calentamientos de voz. Desarrolla las dinámicas. Mejora tu agilidad. Pronuncia las vocales de manera correcta. Practica las escalas.


Sinus infections are bad, but sleeping with a sinus infection is even worse. Here's a few things you can do to make the nights easier:   Keep your room moistened as it helps to drain sinuses. Use a humidifier if need be. Attach electrostatic filters to your air conditioning and heating equipment to eliminate allergens in the air. Avoid extreme temperatures. While extreme dampness can make room for bacteria to thrive, a dry environment will trigger a prolonged sinus irritation. Prop up your head while you sleep. Since mucus accumulates in the sinuses while the head is down at night, it is best to have your head propped up. Practically speaking, several poses are invaluable for relieving sinus pressure – namely, standing poses:   Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) and Ardha Halasana (Supported Half Plow Pose) are done on several rolled mats arranged from the shoulders to the elbows. These two poses should be held for some time to receive the full benefits. The sinuses may remain blocked at first; but after some time in the poses, as you relax, the sinuses usually open up, bringing relief. Eka Pada Sarvangasana (Plow Pose with one leg up and one down) is also particularly good. The inversions act as a natural flushing mechanism for the blocked sinuses. The blood circulates with tremendous force into the stagnated areas, clearing away the secretions to clear the passageways and restore free breathing. Other asanas like Child’s Pose (Balasana), Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) Standing Forward  Fold (Uttanasana) and Rabbit Pose (Sasangasana) are also helpful in sinusitis. Practice Headstands only after the disorder is alleviated. At that point, regular practice of inversions helps keep the sinuses and respiratory tract healthy. Apple cider vinegar is thought to thin and eliminate mucus, making it easier for your body to get rid of. It possesses antimicrobial properties, which aid in killing bacteria.  At the first sign of infection combine 1-2 teaspoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar in 6 ounces of...

Acondiciona tu habitación para que te resulte más fácil conciliar el sueño. Practica yoga. Utiliza vinagre de sidra de manzana. Consume más menta. Agrega pimienta roja a las comidas. Consume más cebolla. Olfatea un ajo. Toma agua de jengibre.


Sinus infections or post-nasal drip (mucus running from your sinuses back into your throat) are responsible for up to 10% of cases of bad breath. There are a number of ways to combat it:  See your doctor. You may need an antibiotic to cure a sinus infection.  Use over-the-counter medication to dry up your sinuses and prevent mucus buildup. Try a saline spray to thin mucus and make it easier to expel. Try a sinus irrigator to rinse out your sinuses. Some medications will dry out your mouth, causing bad breath, while others contain chemicals that lead directly to bad breath. In particular, watch for the following medications:  Betel. Chloral hydrate. Nitrites and nitrates. Dimethyl sulfoxide. Disulfiram. Some chemotherapy medicines. Phenothiazines. Amphetamines. Smoking can leave your mouth smelling like an ashtray. The only permanent solution is to stop smoking, but you can also use mints or other breath fresheners to cover the smell.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz que te examinen los senos paranasales. Debes saber qué medicamentos causan mal aliento. Deja de fumar para curar el mal aliento.


Siri is available on the iPad 3 and later. It is not available on the original iPad or the iPad 2. You must have an active internet connection to use Siri. If you have an original iPad or an iPad 2 and want to use voice commands like Siri, click here. You can try jailbreaking your older device to install the Siri files, but there's a very good chance it will not work. Jailbreaking voids your warranty and can also be a hassle, especially with newer versions of iOS. If you want to give it a shot anyway, click here.   If you don't have a Siri option in the General menu, then your device is too old and does not support Siri. Click here for some workarounds. There will be several options that you can choose to modify Siri.  You can choose between a male and female voice. You can select a different language for Siri, including Spanish, French, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, German, Italian, and Korean. Enabling this feature will allow you to activate Siri by speaking the phrase "Hey Siri", as long as your iPad is plugged into a charger. This can be useful for when your iPad is plugged in at your desk or on your nightstand. Some users have reported issues getting this feature to work reliably. if you are having difficulty with it, it may be more useful to just turn it off.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de tener un iPad compatible. Abre la aplicación de Ajustes en tu iPad. Pulsa "General". Pulsa "Siri". Activa Siri. Activa la función "Hey Siri" (disponible solo en iOS 8).


Siri is enabled by default on all devices that support it, so usually you can just press and hold the Home button to start the Siri interface. The Siri prompt will appear, and you'll be able to speak your command or question. If Siri doesn't start, it may be disabled or your iOS device may be too old. See the next section for details. When your iOs device is plugged in, you can say "Hey Siri" to launch the Siri interface without pushing any buttons.  The iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, and iPad Pro allow you to use "Hey Siri" without the device being plugged in. If "Hey Siri" isn't working, it may need to be turned on. See the next section for details. If you have a Bluetooth headset, press and hold the Call button until you hear a short notification chime. You can then speak your command or question. If you're using CarPlay in your car, you can start Siri by pressing and holding the Voice button on your steering wheel. You can also press and hold the digital Home button on your CarPlay display. If you use an Apple Watch, you can start Siri by bringing the watch up to your face. As soon as you raise your watch, you can start speaking the command or question.

Siri will open in listen mode. As long as the name you say is a clear contact in your iPhone, Siri will promptly call the person in question. If you have different contacts who share a name, Siri will ask you to choose one. You can tell Siri the name, or you can tap the contact in question to make the call. This process works the same as making a phone call; if you state a contact's name and Siri is confused, you'll be prompted to confirm the contact whom you wish to call. If the contact whom you're attempting to reach doesn't have an iPhone, the FaceTime call will briefly begin and then cut itself off. When doing this, make sure you say exactly what you want to send as the message after you state the contact's name. For example, to send well-wishes to a sick friend, you might say "Tell Jeff I hope you're feeling better." Siri would then formulate a message that says "I hope you're feeling better." Doing so will send the message. You'll also have a chance to review the message and check for spelling issues before you say "Yes", or you can tap Send yourself. " Siri will fill in your contact's name in the "To" section of a new email, and then ask you to answer the following questions:   What's the subject of your email? - Tell Siri what your email's subject should be.  What would you like it to say? - Tell Siri what the email should say.  Are you ready to send it? - Siri will say this after reading aloud your email to you. Say Yes to send the email, or No to pause Siri.

Sit down and close your eyes. Imagine your tulpa in your head; look at them from any possible angle you can think of. Try to visualize every detail of their appearance. Be patient, and take time visualizing them, and remember that some part can be very difficult such as a face. Also remember, you can do this any way you want, whatever suits you best. When you visualize, you could either just visualize your tulpa in an empty space, an imaginary place, or just the space in front of you. Try to feel their hair (if they have any) and the details on their body. When that step is complete, you will be able to feel your tulpa's form or surface by applying a little pressure, but you won't be able to touch them as if they were a solid, physical thing. Your hand will go through. If you want to, you can associate a scent with your tulpa a during this step. Make sure the same scent remains whenever you smell your tulpa. Imagine how your tulpa moves and walks. Think about the gestures they use. Work on their expressions last. Try to imagine a conversation with them, and think about what their reactions would be. Always remember, each of these steps take time, never rush it. If you want, you can create a place in your imagination, called a wonderland. This is a place where you can work on your tulpa, and this will be the place that your tulpa can live in. You can be there too, just imagine yourself there with your tulpa. You can do anything you like there, it's your own world. It can be very helpful because if you are in a busy place like in a crowd of people, or doing something like cycling somewhere, it can be difficult to visualize your tulpa anywhere, so they can rest in the wonderland until you are able to visualize them again. Let your tulpa edit the wonderland. They can change it and anything with it whenever they want, just as you can.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Visualiza el tulpa. Trata de tocar el tulpa en tu imaginación. Si deseas, crea un aroma. Visualiza los movimientos del tulpa. Crea un país de las maravillas.


Sit down and work out exactly what stands in the way of your goals. Get as specific as possible about what your goals are, and exactly why you are having trouble meeting them. You'll need plenty of self-awareness to chart out a course of action. Try not to dredge up your usual list of complaints, as this often falls apart into excuses.  If you said "I don't have enough time," think about how you prioritize your time and energy. The real obstacle could be procrastination, careerism, or external events. If you said "I don't have enough money," this is also often about priorities. The more immediate obstacle might be a lack of time or a lack of motivation, or you might need to learn how to make money and save what you have. How long has the obstacle been in your path? What behaviors or negative thoughts keep the obstacle alive, or prevent you from working through it? Answering these questions may help you identify the changes you need to make. For example, if you've felt "stuck" ever since you moved to a new home, there could be something in your new environment or lifestyle that's affecting you. For instance, your distance from friends and family could be sapping your motivation. Take a minute to think about other obstacles you've encountered in your life. Whether or not your approach worked then, learn from your experience as you approach the next challenge. For example, if you previously burned out after an overambitious New Year's resolution, try to ramp up more slowly this time. Some obstacles seem beyond your control, so daunting that you have no idea how to get through them. This experience is often paired with fear or another strong emotional reaction. Take a deep breath, put pen to paper, and ask yourself what you can control.  You can control your attitude. You can control how much effort you put in. You can control your decision when an opportunity is offered to you. You can control your diet, exercise, and sleep schedule, which can improve your mood and alertness. Some of the most frustrating...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Averigua qué te está conteniendo. Piensa en tu vida con este obstáculo. Encuentra similitudes con obstáculos previos. Determina lo que puedes controlar. Analiza tus problemas interpersonales.


Sit down on top of the exercise ball, and walk forward so your back is resting on the ball. Your head and shoulders should not be resting on the ball, but instead, hanging off. Twist your lower body so your legs are turned to one side. Extending your upper leg, and place your upper leg’s foot flat on the floor. Bend your lower leg’s knee, and you can either keep this lower leg hanging (bent in the air), or place your foot back, past your body, and down on the ground. Lean all the way back on the ball so your back follows the contour of the ball. Place both of your hands behind your head or cross your arms on top of your chest. Exhale and contract your abdominal muscles to lift your upper body off of the ball. Hold this crunching position for a moment, then inhale and slowly relax your muscles to come back down onto the ball. Be sure that you are not pulling at your head and neck with your hands. Contract your core muscles to lift up off the ball. Once you have done a set of crunches on one side of your body (about 10–15 reps), roll over to the other side of your body and position yourself in the same starting position as before. Complete a set of crunches on this side of your body. Do approximately 1–3 sets of 10–15 reps.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Colócate sobre la pelota de ejercicios. Posiciona las piernas. Realiza el abdominal lateral. Completa los abdominales en el otro lado del cuerpo.


Sit on a mat with your legs straight together in front of you. Bend forward and reach your hands toward your feet. When you touch your feet, gently hold them for 30 seconds. Then slowly roll your upper body back into the upright position. Repeat for as many reps as you like.  If you cannot reach your feet, hold your hands out as far as you can go. If you want more of a challenge, flex your feet outwards and try to touch your toes. Try to make your body as flat as possible. Sit upright on a mat with both legs in front of you. Bend 1 leg so that the flat part of that foot is tucked into your groin. Then reach your hands toward the leg and foot that are still straight out in front of you. Once you touch your foot, hold this position for 30 seconds. Switch legs and repeat. The knee of your bent leg will likely push toward the ground as you lean forward. Sit on a mat with your legs bent to the sides and soles of your feet together. Slowly move your heels toward your core. Let your knees fall closer to the mat as you move. Bend forward towards your ankles in a controlled way. Hold this pose until you feel a stretch in your hips and thighs. Sit upright on a mat with your legs spread out in front of you. They should be as far apart as comfortable. Then, slowly slide your hands in front of you on the ground away from your body. Fold your upper torso forward towards the ground, following your hands. Stop folding when you feel tension in your hips, thighs, or back. Hold for 30 seconds before sliding back upwards. Repeat. For more of a challenge, reach out to grasp your ankles as you slide your torso downwards. At some point, you will even be able to rest your face on the ground mid-stretch.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Practica el estiramiento tradicional hacia delante. Haz un estiramiento de isquiotibiales. Haz la mariposa. Ábrete de piernas con el pecho pegado al suelo.


Sit on the bike as close to the gas tank as possible. Plant the middle of your feet on the foot pegs, making sure your knees are bent with the bike held firmly between them. Lean forward so your back curves slightly, then lift your elbows. Also, squeeze your core muscles tight.  This sitting position is best for long, smooth sections of terrain. Use it to conserve your energy for tougher sections. The best way to master this basic riding form is on a parked bike with the engine off. Your legs act as suspension when you cross uneven, bumpy land. To master this form, stand up on the balls of your feet. Lift your butt, keeping your knees slightly bent and squeezed up against the gas tank. Keep your core muscles tight as much as possible.  When you do this correctly, you will be able to shift your weight backwards, forwards, and side to side to compensate for uneven ground. Standing up can be difficult at first and gets tiring. Keep practicing so you can handle long stretches of rough terrain safely. Most riders start by wrapping their hands around the grips, keeping their thumbs underneath them. They then place their forefingers and middle fingers on the levers. This may seem counterintuitive at first, but it allows you to quickly hit the clutch and brake levers with your strongest fingers in case of an emergency.  Many beginners are taught to hold onto the throttle with all of their fingers, then reach out to the levers as needed. This can stop you from accidentally operating the clutch or brake. The 2-finger grip is very useful to master, but you can stick with an alternative grip if you feel more comfortable doing so. Get into the habit of trusting your peripheral vision. Look straight ahead of you as much as possible. Let your peripheral vision pick up anything to your sides. Avoid looking down at the bike. Fixating on dangerous objects, like logs and corners, increases your chances of hitting them. You may think you’re preparing to handle these obstacles, but you end up guiding your bike straight towards them.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Practica la forma correcta de conducir con las rodillas flexionadas y la espalda curva. Párate con las piernas ligeramente flexionadas al cruzar terrenos irregulares. Mantén un agarre suelto sobre el manillar con los dedos. Mantén la cabeza en alto y siempre mira hacia adelante.


Sit on the edge of your chair and bend your knees while keeping them together. Hold your arms at your side so that your hands are on the chair seat. You can also hold the arm rests. Then press through your hands so that you lift up slightly. You may even get taller. Release and repeat the press up for 30 reps. Squeeze your knees and butt muscles together while pressing down on your hands for a challenge. Make a goalpost shape with your arms by keeping your upper arms parallel to the floor and your lower arms perpendicular to it. Engage your chest and arm muscles and press your forearms together. Then lift your arms up about one inch. Return to the starting point and do as many reps as you can while holding proper form. Sit up straight and engage your calf muscles so that your heels rise up and you are on your toes. Then release your heels back to the floor before repeating this exercise for 30 reps. You can also reverse the motion by lifting your toes off the floor instead of your heels for 30 reps. These exercises target and build the muscles of your lower leg and knee. Add resistance by placing a large book on your knees while raising your toes and heels. Sit with your glutes on the edge of your chair and your knees bent. With your knees still bent, lift up one leg. Straighten out your leg, hold it for a second or two, and return to starting position. Repeat on the same leg for 15 reps before switching to the opposite leg. Make the extensions more challenging by extending both legs simultaneously. This has the added benefit of strengthening your core, too. Sit up straight and clench the muscles of your lower back and bottom. Keep squeezing for 30 seconds and release for 30 seconds. Do as many reps as you can or aim to do a certain number each hour. This can build and sculpt your glutes. Sit up straight, bend your knees, and keep them together. Hold your hands behind your head and engage your core muscles. Hinge back slightly and just graze the back of your chair. Hinge your body forward at the hips and...

Sit on your bed so that your head hangs a little off the edge when you lie down. While sitting down, turn your head to the right, then lie down. Wait a minute and check for dizziness. Do it again on the left side. If you feel dizzy when you turn right, your right ear is your bad ear. If dizziness happens when you turn left, it's your left ear. Begin this method by kneeling on the floor. Don't rest your upper legs and buttocks on your calves. Your bent legs should instead form a right angle. Place your hands on the floor directly below your shoulders. Raise your chin and look up at the ceiling for about five to ten seconds. Put a towel or pad under your knees if you do not have carpeted flooring. While on your hands and knees, tuck your chin towards your chest as you lean your head towards the floor. Bend forward until you touch the floor with your forehead while keeping your hips elevated. Hold this position for around 30 seconds. While in this position, turn your head towards the side of the ear with the vertigo. You should be facing your shoulder. Hold this position for 30 seconds. For example, if your left ear is the affected ear, turn your head to the left. Quickly, lift your head and push yourself up until your back is flat. Your head should be at the same level as your back, so that your ear is parallel to the floor. Your head should be held in a 45 degree angle as you rest on all fours. Hold this position for 30 seconds. Lift your head so that the top of your head is pointing to the ceiling and your chin is pointing to the floor. Your head should still be angled towards the shoulder of your affected ear. Stand up very slowly. If you don't feel relief, do these steps again. It may take multiple tries for your vertigo to go away. However, rest for 15 minutes after the first attempt before you try again. While there isn't a limit to how many times you can try this maneuver, you may want to consult a doctor if it's not working for you after you try it three or more times. Lie down so your affected ear is...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Determina cuál oído es el que causa el vértigo. Colócate de rodillas en el suelo. Inclina la cabeza hacia el suelo. Gira la cabeza. Levanta la parte delantera de tu cuerpo. Levanta la cabeza. Repite el procedimiento. Duerme durante una semana del lado no afectado, apoyado sobre algo.


Sit on your bottom on the ground. Stretch your legs long and open them up as wide as they will go. Point your feet and place your hands on the ground in front of you to balance yourself. You should feel this stretch in your hips and your inner thighs.  Stay in this stretch for fifteen seconds. Try to open your legs wider each time you do this stretch. The goal is to eventually be able to do a split. Sit on your bottom with your legs extended in front of you and your arms lifted straight overhead. Fold at your waist and reach your arms towards your toes.  Stay in this stretch for fifteen seconds. You may not be able to reach your toes right away. Keep trying and as you get more flexible, you’ll get closer and closer to touching them. Stand with your left leg in front of you and your right leg behind you. Bend your left leg at a 90 degree angle, and rest your right leg on the ground to support yourself. Rest your hands on your left leg and use them to push your left leg even deeper into the stretch.  Stay in your left lunge for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, switch and do the same thing on your right side. Standing straight, cross your right arm behind your back. Reach back with your left hand and grab your right hand. Use the left hand to stretch the right arm. Hold the stretch for about 15 seconds. Repeat. This time, use your right hand to grab and pull your left hand. As you do this, try stretching your neck. Bend your head towards the same side as the arm that is grabbing and pulling. If you are grabbing with your left hand, tip your head to the left side. Stand with your feet apart (they should be slightly wider than your hips) and your arms outstretched. Lean over to your right side until your right arm hangs down towards the ground and your left arm reaches straight up over your head.  Pull your left arm taut until you feel a stretch in your left shoulder and the left side of your body. Hold this stretch for ten seconds on the right side, before switching sides and reaching with your right hand. As you...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Progresión de “split”. Tocarse las puntas. Intenta hacer desplantes. Estiramiento de brazo cruzado. Has un estiramiento lateral. Intenta el “Superman”.


Sit on your couch, bed, or floor and place a pillow behind your back for support. Put a nursing pillow designed for twins firmly around your waist and set a pillow underneath it for extra support. You can also set single nursing pillows on both of your sides so you can set the babies there once you've finished breastfeeding them.  You may want to have someone help you get used to setting up the pillow supports and handing you the babies (especially if they're newborns). Some double nursing pillows actually strap around your waist. You can place the babies in the double football or clutch hold so that one baby is on each of your sides. You should be able to tuck the babies under your arms (like a football). The babies' tummies should be touching your tummy and they shouldn't be on their backs. Their feet should be pointed towards your back and you can support the shoulders, neck, and head with your arm. This hold works well for preterm or smaller babies. It's also a good choice if you had a C-section since it keeps pressure off of your stomach. Start by latching whichever baby has an easier time of latching on. Once that baby is securely on your breast, help the other baby latch on to the other breast. This will give you a chance to help the baby that might be struggling more to latch on. If you have preterm or very young babies, you may want to place a small rolled up cloth right behind their heads. This will give them a little extra support. If you have a pillow underneath your nursing pillow, your babies should be raised up a little towards your breasts. For simultaneous breastfeeding, their legs should be wrapped around your sides and almost tucked around your back. The babies should be on their sides rather than their backs while they're breastfeeding. Your main goal is that they remain latched on and don't roll back or off of the nursing pillow. You don't need to stop and switch breasts as long as both babies are nursing well. You may need to help a baby latch on if it slips off, but give it a chance to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Coloca almohadas como apoyo. Acomoda a los bebés al lado tuyo en la almohada. Haz que un bebé agarre el pecho a la vez. Revisa la posición de los bebés. Deja que los bebés terminen de alimentarse.


Sit opposite each other and then choose a board. Place your board in front of you and lift up each of the 24 characters tiles on the board.  Even though there are multiple boards, this game can only be played with two people. If you are playing multiple games in a row, consider using different boards each time to add variation. If the game is new, you will need to insert the miniature character cards into the slots on the game board. The placement of the cards doesn’t matter and doesn’t need to be the same on both boards. the character cards and place them face down on the ground. Take the deck of character cards and shuffle them thoroughly. Then, spread them out between your boards so that each card can be seen. If you aren’t a confident shuffler, place the cards on the floor and use your hands to muddle them up instead. This will achieve a similar result. You must reference answers to this card only as you proceed through this game.This makes it easy for you to see your character throughout the game. Make sure that the other person doesn’t see your character! If your opponent accidentally sees your card, shuffle all the cards and draw a new one. This could be the youngest person, the person with the next birthday, or you could flip a coin to make it random. If you are playing multiple games, alternate who gets to start each game to make it even.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cada uno debe tener un tablero de “Adivina quién” con los personajes en posición vertical. Baraja Elijan una tarjeta cada uno y colóquenla en el soporte del tablero donde puedan verla. Designen y pónganse de acuerdo sobre quién empezará.


Sit or stand close enough that you can touch without having to shuffle closer. Look your partner in the eyes, tilt your head slightly to one side and lean in toward the other person’s face.  Don’t lean in too quickly, as this could make you seem nervous and over-eager, but it could also lead to bumped heads. However, don’t go in too slowly either, as this could make you seem uncertain. If your partner also tilts their head and leans in toward you as well, this is a sign that you should have the confidence to go for the kiss! Just before your lips meet, close your eyes, as this gives the impression that you're honest and sincere. Keep your mouth closed at this point. Slightly pucker your lips and use firm but delicate pressure to press your lips against your partner’s. Once you’ve gotten comfortable brushing each other’s lips, you can introduce a bit of tongue to the kiss. Open your mouth a little wider and give your partner a moment to adjust and reciprocate.   With your tongue, gently graze your partner’s lips. If your partner’s mouth is now open as well, delicately use your tongue to explore the inside of their lips and tip of their tongue. Use gentle pressure when you do this, and try to keep your tongue moving.  Don’t open your mouth too wide, and don’t stick your tongue too far into your partner’s mouth. French kissing can get pretty hot and heavy, and it’s ok to take things slowly. Don’t be angry if you feel like your partner is uncomfortable or wants to slow down. Signs that your partner might want to slow down or stop include:  Not opening their mouth or not using their tongue Not reciprocating your actions Pulling away or avoiding contact Showing signs of discomfort or stress

TL;DR in Spanish:

Inclínate. Inicia el beso. Abre la boca ligeramente. Fíjate si la persona no está interesada.


Sit or stand in a comfortable position, then bend your elbow at a 90° angle with your fingers pointing up. Face your palm outward so that the back of your wrist faces you. Relax your fingers and wrist as much as you can.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dobla el codo en un ángulo de 90 grados con la palma hacia afuera.


Sit quietly and listen to what your employer says. You need to retain the information that is given to you. Listen closely to what your boss says that you can have a better understanding of why you are being fired. The decision to terminate your employment has already been made. Nothing you can say, at this point, will change your employer’s decision. Do not argue or attempt to persuade your employer to reconsider. If you do argue, your employer might be inclined to say negative things about you to other perspective employers. When you are fired, you are probably going to feel emotional. This is completely understandable. However, it’s best not to let your emotions get the best of you. Whether you feel sad or angry, take a deep breath, remain calm, and try not to cause a scene. Practice breathing exercises if you feel like you're about to have an emotional outburst. Excuse yourself for a moment and then breathe in slowly while you count to 10. Hold your breath for a moment, and then slowly breathe out while counting to 10 again. Do this until you feel like you have a better grasp on your emotions. If your employer has not explained his or her reasons for terminating your employment, it is fine to ask. Be prepared, however, to get an unsatisfying answer, such as “it was just a business decision,” or no answer at all. In addition, consider asking:  What are the next steps? Is there paperwork to fill out? Does the company provide information for a staffing service? What are the exit procedures? You can agree with your ex-boss to describe the dismissal in a neutral way so that when you apply for future jobs, you can smoothly pass reference checks. If you are offered a severance package in exchange for signing a “general release,” think twice before signing immediately. Doing so would eliminate your opportunity to make legal claims against your employer because it effectively says that the company is released of all legal obligations when firing you. Take your time, and consider showing the agreement to a lawyer...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escucha con cuidado a tu empleador. Abstente de discutir. Mantén la calma. Haz preguntas. Considera la posibilidad de negociar el motivo de tu despido. Pospón la firma de un acuerdo de indemnización por despido. Haz el intento de irte en buenos términos. Empieza a hacer planes.


Sit under a hair dryer for 30 minutes before checking to see if your hair is completely dry. Remove 1 roller first to be sure it is dry. If not, add 10 to 15 minutes with the hair dryer before removing the rollers.  The longer and thicker your hair is, the longer it will take to dry completely. If sleeping on your rollers, don't remove them until morning. Be sure and test 1 roller before removing the rest. Unwind 1 roller at a time when your hair is completely dry. Work slowly to avoid tangling your hair. You'll find it easiest to remove the bottom rollers first and work your way up to the top sections of hair. Once the rollers are out, brush out the curls to loosen them. Be careful not to overdo it, since your curls should keep their shape for 2 or 3 strokes, but any more might cause them to fall out. You can also use a pick or simply run your fingers through the curls to separate them and add some volume. Once you've reached the desired curls and volume, you can complete your hairstyle. For long, loose curls, you're already finished. But you can also tie back your curled hair or secure it in place with hair pins or barrettes, just as you would if it were straight. Once everything looks just as you desire, complete setting your style by spritzing it with hair spray. Choose a spray with your desired effect, whether it's light and natural or stiff and set in place.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Deja que el cabello se te seque con los rulos puestos. Retira los rulos. Péinate con el cabello ya rizado. Termina tu peinado. Fija el peinado.


Sit up with a straight back. Bend your knees and keep them together. Your toes should just touch the floor. Open your legs and extend your arms overhead simultaneously. Keep doing this movement quickly for 30 reps. This exercise can build your endurance and get your blood flowing, which may help you think better. Do these exercises with just your legs if you need to type. Extend your legs and point your toes. Bend your arms at your sides or keep them on the keyboard. Engage your core muscles and lean back slightly until your shoulder blades just graze the back of the chair. Then lift your legs slightly in front of you and bend your left knee toward your chest. Angle your right shoulder towards your left knee. Quickly change to the to the other side for 30 alternating reps. This kind of running can build your cardiovascular fitness and strength. Engage your core muscles and tilt yourself back at the waist. Your legs hang over the side of your chair. Kick them in a fluttering motion for 30-50 reps. This can increase your endurance and strengthen your leg muscles and abs. You can also try flutter-kicking your arms, either along with your legs or separately. Do this above your head or in front of your body. Stand facing the front of your chair. Lift up your right arm up and tap the chair with your left toe at the same time. Alternate sides quickly for 45 to 60 seconds. This targets your cardiovascular system and can strengthen your legs, abs, and arms.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Realiza saltos de tijera. Entra en carrera. Nada sin agua. Toca la silla con los dedos del pie.


Sites like Etsy, DeviantArt, Artsy and Imagekind provide a perfect platform for making your art accessible to potential collectors all over the world. Just upload photos of your work, set prices for each item and use a separate program like PayPal to process payments. You can then handle all the financial transactions and shipping yourself.  Curate your content by theme so that it will more visible to people hunting for art of a specific type. E-commerce hubs like Big Cartel and Shopify might also be useful for selling your art online. If you haven’t already, sign up for a separate account for your art on Facebook, Instagram or Tumblr. Many modern artists have found success using social media to build a dedicated following. More likes and shares means more exposure, which can, in turn, lead to more sales.  Include a link to your online store somewhere front and center in your bio to make it easier for users to purchase the pieces they’re browsing. Spending a little extra money on sponsored posts will ensure that it reaches more eyes. As part of your online presence, it’s a good idea to give interested parties a dedicated place to find out more about what you do. That way, potential buyers can read up on you, explore your finished works and get in touch with you directly. A standalone website will attract the interest of people who don't use social media to keep up with emerging artists.  Your website could be as sophisticated as an interactive portal that allows shoppers to preview slideshows of your work or as simple as a blog. Make sure your contact info is displayed somewhere in plain sight, along with a mission statement and brief explanation of your style.
