Even though you may be married or have been together for a long time, you can and should still date your partner. Date nights are a great way to reconnect with your significant other and liven up your relationship. If you have a busy schedule, it may be necessary to plan your dates together to set aside time just for you two.  Mark date nights on a household calendar to avoid scheduling conflicts. Have date nights at home by cooking a romantic dinner or settling in for a movie night. Take turns planning the date night activities so both partners have an opportunity to surprise the other with a romantic evening. You both may have more commitments now. Spontaneity may be more difficult, but just as important. Being spontaneous does not have to require a great deal of time or energy. Seize spontaneous moments to add some excitement to your relationship. Try the following:   Have a dance party in the kitchen. Rent a convertible and go for a long drive on a summer night. Build a blanket fort in the living room and watch your favorite movie together. Think about your partner's strengths and what you love about her. Is she incredibly witty? Does she have knack for numbers and always make sure your finances are in perfect order? It can be easy to get used to your partner's strengths but remembering why you respect her, what you admire about her, and what makes her different and special is a way to rekindle those feelings of love and romance. Even if those things have changed over the years, just being intentional about remembering can keep romance alive. Remember all the attention you paid to your appearance when you were dating and the care you would take in getting ready to see your partner. As time goes on and other life factors occur, it sometimes becomes less of a priority to keep up our appearances. You become busy and your focus shifts towards care for your children or living space. Take the time to make yourself feel pampered and attractive again, for yourself and for your partner. Enjoy the excitement it can bring into your relationship and date nights.   Do exercise or physical activity to improve how you feel about your physical appearance. Go to the salon to get a new haircut or style. Use make up, perfume, or cologne. Buy a new outfit that makes you feel attractive. Go get a massage or spend time at a spa. Part of the fun of rekindling your romance is trying new things and getting the chance to pick up old habits. Part of that can be creating a romantic environment around the activities you do together.   If you schedule a date night, get flowers and pretend to pick up your partner for your date. If you are having a date night at home, put on romantic music, light some candles, and have soft lighting.

Q: Generally, an “employer” is a person or organization that has employees. Most employers pay into a state workers’ compensation fund. Exceptions include:  Federal employees. Federal employees are not covered by state workers’ compensation systems. Instead, they are covered by the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, which outlines its own method of processing and adjudicating workers’ compensation claims that is unique to federal workers.  Maritime workers (e.g., longshore workers) who are injured or killed on the job may be protected by the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act as opposed to state workers’ compensation laws. Native American organizations are typically not considered “employers” for workers’ compensation claims. You can only draw workers’ compensation benefits if you sustained a qualifying injury. A qualifying injury is one that was “work related.” Generally speaking, a “work related” injury is one sustained in the course and scope of employment.  For example, if a delivery driver strains his back while picking up a heavy box during a delivery, then the injury arose out of employment because picking up heavy boxes was a contributing cause of the injury. However, if a delivery driver strains her back while moving her child into a dorm room, then that injury falls outside the scope of employment. Workers’ compensation rules will vary by state. Some states preclude workers from claiming work-related stress injuries. Some states, however, permit recovery for psychiatric stress injuries. You will need to talk to an attorney to find out precisely what rules apply to your situation. You should hold onto copies of all medical reports and notes related to your injury. Create a binder and keep it in a secure location. These documents will be necessary later. Depending on your injury, there are a variety of benefits that workers may be eligible to receive. The following is only a partial list:  medical care for injury or illness temporary disability benefits to replace wages while you recover permanent disability benefits intended to compensate individuals with a reduced working capacity job displacement benefits to pay for job training death or burial benefits Generally, states use a formula to determine benefit amounts. There is usually a cap on the amount of benefits you may receive. Also the amount you’ll receive may depend on when you were injured and whether you are temporarily or permanently disabled.  Some states provide online calculators you can use to get a rough estimate of what your benefits might be. Colorado, for example, has a calculator available here. Some states will reduce the benefit amount if the disability can be attributed to other, non-work factors that contributed to the worker’s permanent disability.
A: Check to see that you work for a covered employer. Confirm that you sustained a qualifying injury. Gather medical documents. Understand what benefits are available. Calculate benefits.

Article: Sprinkle water over the soil after you plant and then when it becomes dry.  Do not saturate the seeds with water, even if the soil is dry. The soil should only feel moist once you sprinkle the water. Using a watering can will help regulate how much water you pour onto the soil. You can use an all-purpose fertilizer. The exact instructions for fertilizing depends on the directions on the package of your fertilizer. Typically, you just need to apply the fertilizer around the base of the plant. You can purchase fertilizer at a nursery or at many home improvement stores. Ask an employee at your nursery for fertilizer recommendations if you aren’t sure about which brand to buy. Jicama vines grow quite tall, so they will need support as they grow. Stake the vines when they are about 24 inches (61 cm) in length. Place wooden tomato stakes about 4 inches (10.2 cm) deep into the soil next to the jicama vine. Loosely tie each plant with twine. Don’t forget to keep the soil moist as the jicama grows. Test the soil out by feeling it with your hand or gently digging into it with your fingers. Only water when the soil is dry since jicama does not do well with over-watering. Remove the tiny flowers that bloom on the jicama. Removing the flowers encourages stronger root growth. You can remove them with your hand, scissors, or pruners. Jicama is not likely to have pest problems during growth. This is because the flowers, seeds, and leaves are poisonous. If you do find that you have a pest problem, remove the pests yourself, or use an organic pest spray. Make sure you know what type of pests you are targeting when you go to buy pest spray.
