Know the common symptoms of depression during pregnancy. Identify the risk factors. Know that you're not alone.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

These will help you understand your own condition and what areas you might want to address in order to treat your depression. The common symptoms of depression during pregnancy include the following:  Disturbed appetite (increased or decreased) Disturbed sleep (increased or decreased) Extreme fatigue and loss of energy Crying spells Poor fetal attachment Lack of feelings of pleasure Irritability Suicidal ideation Thoughts and feelings of worthlessness There are some common factors that enhance the risk of depression and if addressed timely might alleviate prenatal depression. These factors include:  Dysfunctional thinking and coping styles with ongoing life stressors Problems with significant relationships in family Current negative/stressful life events History of physical, emotional or sexual abuse Earlier miscarriage or stillbirth Childbirth related distress Vulnerable personality type to depression and anxiety If these factors existed prior to pregnancy, know that there is a greater chance of an ongoing depression and functional coping is required to treat it.

Keep in mind that this is a trying time for both your body and your psyche and the healthiest way to deal with things is to seek help and support as soon as you feel you might be depressed. Slightly over 1 in 10 women experience depression during or after pregnancy. You are hardly alone! Talk to the women in your family or your friends – odds are one of them has been there, too.


Know the context of the Lord’s prayer. Try praying in your room with the door shut. Keep the recitation of the Lord's prayer concise. Meditate on the Lord’s prayer.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This prayer is directed toward God; however, Jesus in John 10:30 says “I and my Father are one”.  The Lord’s prayer is found in Matthew 5-7. These passages also contain the Sermon on the Mount and Beatitudes (blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted). The sermon on the mount is about the importance of God’s place in the inner life as opposed to doing religion for appearances.  Jesus condemns the religious officials who have been showing off their righteousness in public. Jesus says true righteousness belongs to those who are the lowest: those who mourn, those who are poor, those who are meek, even though they do not give the appearance of righteousness.   For example, Jesus says in Matthew 6:5 “Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them." This is one of Jesus’ instructions in Matthew 6:6 on how to pray. Jesus goes on to say, “And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.” Find a room or a private space where you can be alone, and pray to God there. Feel comforted by the presence of God "who sees in secret.”  This is not the only place you can pray. You can also “pray without ceasing” (wherever you may be you can be prayerful) as Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians. Paul also described speaking in tongues as a good way to pray. He said, "I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all" 1 Corinthians 14:18.(See also 1 Corinthians 14:2,4-5, and14-15) Jesus in Matthew 6:7 says “When you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that that by their many words they will be heard.” During this time people may have been praying using certain rituals, recitations, and incantations, but you do not need these to pray to Jesus.  Additionally, you do not need to talk about your problems when you recite the Lord’s prayer. When you pray in general, or at a different time, you can talk to Jesus about your problems. Jesus follows up the previous verse with this...


Know the controls. Make sure that the League window is open. Click PLAY. Select a map. Click CONFIRM. Click FIND MATCH. Click ACCEPT when prompted. Select a champion. Click LOCK IN. Wait for the game to begin.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

League of Legends uses standard RTS (real-time strategy) controls:   Right-click a location to move to it.  Right-click an enemy to attack it.  Press Q, W, E, or R to select an ability or spell.  Press B to teleport home.  Press D or FTo Activate either of your 2 chosen Summoner Spells. You should be logged into League of Legends at this point. If you were signed out earlier, sign back in by entering your username and password in the upper-right side of the launcher window. It's in the upper-left corner of the window. Click SUMMONER'S RIFT for the most popular map. This is the map that most League of Legends players, from professional to casual, frequent. It's at the bottom of the window. You'll see this option at the bottom of the window. Doing so will search for a game near you. This will join the match. Click a champion who you'd like to use. If the champion is greyed out, it means that someone else took the champion first. Since you won't usually be able to view a champion's stats before the match, it's best to research the current free champions to see which class of champion you're selecting. It's near the bottom of the window. Doing so will lock your champion to you, meaning that other players won't be able to select your champion for their own use. Once the League of Legends match is full and loaded, you can begin playing. Keep in mind the strategies discussed earlier, and your first game should prove to be a successful one! Many players will call their lanes (e.g., "top", "mid", "bot") in the chat section


Know the correct way to breathe. Always warm up and cool down. Learn good running form. . Stay hydrated. Eat well before (and after). Watch your weight. Get good running shoes.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

It's a bad habit for a lot of us to breathe at the top of our lungs. Don't do it! Make sure your breaths are deep and coming in through your nose and out slowly through your mouth. Insufficient breathing can wear out your muscles before they wear out themselves. Try to get into a rhythm while you're running. Take a breath for every 3 or 4 steps. Staying in sync will give you something to concentrate on, too. To get your muscles ready to turn into speed machines, you gotta warm up. If you don't, you risk asking them to do things they're not ready to do -- and they'll revolt by ripping and tearing. So do some jumping jacks, some burpees, high knees, butt kicks, and get your body loose and ready. Cool down after your workouts, too, with a good stretching session. This'll help bring your heart rate down and get your head back down from the rush you've just had, in addition to keeping your muscles safe and not freezing back up. Improper form is not only potentially dangerous, but it wastes energy needlessly. To hit that 6-minute mile, you need to be running as efficiently as possible. Here's the gist:  For your upper body, make sure you are looking forward on the horizon and not to either side. Keep your shoulders loose -- if you notice they're stiff, give 'em a quick shake to rid yourself of the tension. Keep your back straight and your elbows at a 90-degree angle, hands in loose fists. For your lower body, make sure you're hitting the ground lightly (quieter = quicker) with your mid-foot, rolling onto your toes and propelling forward. Lift your knees slightly, keep your strides short, and your feet landing directly beneath you. Aim to feel as if you're springing off the ground. ork out your arms, legs, and core. Since so much of a good mile time is about strength, working out your body is useful, too. Include squats, lunges, planks, sit ups, and push-ups into your regimen to keep your muscles primed for optimal performance. Incorporate work with free weights into your routine as well. Do bicep curls, tricep...


Know the dangers of doorways. Approach a closed door on the side the handle is on. Touch the handle of the door, and "soft-check" the handle to see if the door is locked or not. Bring your gun to close-contact firing position as you reach for the door handle. Turn the handle quickly and swing the door open. Step back from the doorway immediately. Scan the room the same way you would go around a corner. Move into the room once you have viewed as much of the room as possible. Look over your shoulder as you enter to view the corner you are not heading toward. Clear the rest of the room for any immediate danger.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The fatal funnel, as it is graciously known, is one of the most dangerous areas to be in when traversing a building. This area includes doorways and other portals which only allow a narrow area in and out of a room (such as narrow hallways and archways). If you were picking a choke point for an ambush, fatal funnels would be perfect places to focus your attention. It is in your best interest to spend as little time as possible in these areas.  At a doorway, the fatal funnel is the area on either side of the door, as deep as the door is tall and just as wide. So standing to the side of a door does not count (obviously the fatal funnel is an imaginary area — an area which the intruder might not be respecting, so just because you are out of the fatal funnel doesn't mean you can't get shot). If you are unable to do so (for architectural reasons), you will have to place your body in the fatal funnel while you open it. If this is your house, and you know this specific door does not have a lock, you don't have to perform this step. When grasping the doorknob, use your non-firing hand and reach below your weapon.  This will allow you to bring your weapon to bear without blocking it. If you are pushing the door away from you, be sure to swing the door enough so to expose the whole room. If the door stops unusually short of the wall, it may be because something or someone is behind the door. If you pull the door toward yourself, the amount of throw is less important as even a small opening will allow you a peek in the room right away, and as you clear the room you can open the door the rest of the way. This keeps you and your gun away from someone who may be on the other side of the door ready to grab you or your gun. Distance favors the trained shooter. In the event that you are the only one with a gun, distance favors the person with a ranged weapon. This time, you have to scan up to 180-degrees instead of only 90. Clear it with the slicing the pie technique. Be sure to start at the wall the door frame is attached to...


Know the dangers of handling dry ice. Protect yourself by dressing in a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and closed-toed shoes. Pick up the dry ice with tongs. Use a chisel to break off smaller pieces from the block. Use the dry ice in a well-ventilated area. Store dry ice in an insulated container that is not airtight. Melt the ice when you are finished with it by pouring warm water over it.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Handling dry ice is dangerous due to its extremely cold temperatures that can lead to frostbite and tissue injury. The carbon dioxide vapors in an unventilated area are also toxic. If prolonged contact with dry ice occurs, do not rub the affected area. Remove clothing that is not frozen to the skin and place the affected area in a warm water bath. Avoid direct dry heat. Proper protection is essential while handling dry ice. The best protection is to cover all of the surfaces of your body that could be exposed. Gloves and goggles are extremely important to protect your hands and eyes from injury. Never handle dry ice directly with your bare hands. If possible, use metal tongs when transferring chunks of dry ice to new locations. If you do not have tongs available, wear an oven mitt or towel while handling the dry ice. Metal tongs with serrated edges work best. If you purchased a block of dry ice and need smaller pieces, use caution while chiseling them off. Break off pieces of the ice by setting a chisel to the desired point, and tapping it lightly with a mallet. Always wear eye protection while chiseling to prevent chips from flying into your eyes. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. As it warms, it sublimates (turns directly from a solid to gas, skipping the liquid phase) into its gaseous form. Exposure to large amounts of gaseous carbon dioxide is hazardous to your health and can cause you to lose consciousness or suffocate.  Working in a room with good ventilation or an open window can prevent a dangerous buildup of gas and keep you safe. Symptoms of excessive carbon dioxide inhalation include dizziness, headache, and increased heart rate. Dry ice sublimates relatively quickly, but its shelf life can be extended by storing it an insulated container such as a Styrofoam cooler. Make sure the container is not airtight to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide gas. Too much gas in an airtight container can lead to an explosion. The warmer the dry ice gets, the faster it sublimates. To dispose of it, you can...


Know the definition of worse. Use worse to compare 2 things. Use worse with than. Use worse to describe something in a state of deterioration. Be aware of the implied comparison.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Worse means "of a lower quality; less attractive, pleasing, etc; more serious or severe." Worse is a form of the word bad. Worse is an example of a comparative adjective. Comparative adjectives are used to compare the characteristics of the objects they modify. They will be used with 2 nouns in a sentence, which include physical objects, concepts, places, and people.  I think eggplant is worse than boiled cabbage, but that's just my opinion. That red dress looks worse on you than the white one. Which is worse for your health, smoking or drinking? Since worse is a comparative word, it is commonly used with the word than when comparing the 2 nouns. The sentences commonly following the following pattern:  Noun + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun.  Winter weather is worse than summer weather. One tricky use of worse is when 2 or more objects act as a group noun and you need to refer to them as a single object. The car is worse than the other 2 you showed me. In this example, the 2 things being compared are car and the other 2, which functions as one object. There are still 2 things being compared. Although this situation commonly only lists one thing, technically speaking, you are still comparing 2 things - one state of being to another. Often, one of these states is implied instead of mentioned outright.  This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I think my handwriting is worse [than it was before]. I am feeling worse [than I was before] In some sentences, the than is implied. That means there won't be 2 things being compared in the sentence; the second thing will be implied. Look for a combination of “than” along with a noun to spot an implied comparison. Bob and Fred are bad drivers, but I think Bob is worse [than Fred].


Know the difference between LCD and LED. Pick between edge-lit or back-lit LED. Understand that plasmas are largely off the market. Decide if you want 3D or not.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Traditional LCD TVs use CCFL lighting to show the pixels on the screen. LED TVs use LEDs to light up the LCD display. So in essence, they are the same type of TV with different lighting configurations. LED TVs typically provide better color and picture quality than CCFL LCDs, and are also much more efficient. LCDs, on the other hand, are typically the cheapest TVs available. An edge-lit LED is thinner and cheaper than a backlit, but since the lighting only comes from the edges, it can lead to a slightly washed-out picture. Backlit LEDs are slightly thicker and more expensive, but will give a much more uniform and clearer picture quality. Plasma TVs in general are not being produced anymore, with the exception of LG and Samsung. This means you will likely see few or no plasma models on the showroom floor of your local electronics store. Many people still consider plasmas superior, as they provide better picture quality and look the best in dark rooms. They are also viewable from the most angles. They are often heavier and more power-hungry than the other models, and suffer from the worst glare in bright rooms. 3D TVs were a big thing a few years ago, but support is starting to fade. Networks that embraced 3D such as ESPN have started to drop support, and 3D has become less of a selling point for home movies. You can still find plenty of 3D TVs, and if you're a fan, the lower prices mean now is the best time to buy.


Know the difference between cystitis and pyelonephritis UTIs. Watch out for symptoms of cystitis so that you can stop them before they get worse. Look for signs of pyelonephritis to prevent further symptoms.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Cystitis refers to a UTI in the lower urinary tract including the bladder and urethra. These UTIs are more common than pyelonephritis, which is a UTI in the upper urinary tract and kidney. UTIs in the kidney are much more rare. If you are concerned your child has an upper UTI, take him or her to the hospital. In cystitis, the symptoms are primarily the result of inflammation/infection of the lining of the bladder wall and urethra. This may cause any of the following:  Pain or the sensation of "burning" during urination. Pain felt in the abdomen just above the pubic bone. More frequent urination during the day or at night and sometimes with only small amounts of urine produced. Note that the frequency may be masked by attempts to hold off on urination because of the pain. Frequency is often accompanied by the sudden urgent need to urinate. Urine with an unusually strong odor, or appearing cloudy or bloody. Low-grade fever. Infections of the kidney (pyelonephritis) are generally more serious infections although symptoms, particularly in infants and very young children, may not immediately point to the kidneys. If you think your child may have pyelonephritis, take him/her to the hospital. Symptoms of cystitis may be present in addition to:  A more severe generalized ill appearance. High fever. Nausea or vomiting. Shaking chills. Pain in the flank (the side of the back).


Know the difference between envy and jealousy. Think about how envy harms you. Identify the reason why you are envious. Write about your feelings. Consider talking to a friend about your envious feelings. Consider seeking help from a therapist if you can’t move past your envy on your own.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Envy and jealousy are not the same thing, but they are often confused. It is important to know the difference between envy and jealousy to determine which emotion you are feeling. Jealousy is a reaction to the threat of losing something you already possess. Envy is a reaction to a something you think you lack. For example, jealousy is what you feel when you see your girlfriend flirting with another guy. Envy is what you feel when you see a friend driving up in a brand new sports car. How has envy impacted your life in a negative way? Maybe a long-term friendship is on the verge of dissolving because you can't pretend to be happy for your friend anymore, so you avoid her calls. Maybe you check your ex's Facebook page obsessively to glare at pictures of him and his fiancée. Maybe you hate-read a classmate's photography blog, wishing you had anything close to his artistic ability. These are all examples of the way envy saps energy that could be better spent on something more positive. Envy might be harming you in the following ways:  Taking up your time Consuming your thoughts Ruining your personal and professional relationships Warping your personality Creating negativity Before you can deal with your envy in a constructive way, you need to figure out what is causing it. If you feel envy over your friend’s new sport’s car, take some time to examine the reason why you feel envious. Ask yourself questions to identify the cause of your envy before dealing with your envy. For example, are you envious because you want a car like the one he has? Or are you envious of his ability to afford something so expensive? Journaling is a great way to express your feelings and deal with negative emotions. Journaling about your envy may help you to start to understand it better and begin to deal it. Start by writing down the reason that you feel envious. Describe the source of your envy in as much detail as you can. Try to determine why you are envious of this person. For example, you might write about your friend driving up in...


Know the difference between racism, bigotry, and prejudice. Understand how these three intersect and relate to racism. Understand the history of racism in the United States and around the world. Learn about how racism is connected to systems of power. Recognize the results of racism. Understand that not all racism is obvious.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Often times these words are used interchangeably in the media or in conversation, but there are differences that are worth understanding. Knowing the difference between these concepts can also help you in conversation, when people often use the wrong term for what they mean.  Racism has to do with a system of oppression of a group of people based on their race, skin color, or ethnicity. In general, racism involves a majority race or ethnic group creating laws, policies, systems, and cultural norms that favors their own race at the expense of minority races or ethnic groups. Bigotry, on the other hand, is about hatred. Bigotry means hating an entire group of people because of who they are and/or believing that your own group is superior, and it is not limited to race or ethnicity; you can be bigoted towards a group based on religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, disability, etc.  For example, the Holocaust was motivated by bigotry, as are all hate crimes in United States law.  Prejudice (literally meaning "to pre-judge") means assuming you know something about a person because of a group they are affiliated with. While it usually carries a negative connotation, prejudice isn't always obviously bad. For example, it's prejudiced to assume that all Asians are good at math or that all black people are good singers or good athletes. Those are stereotypes based on race. You can also be prejudiced against a person because of their religion, gender, disability, etc., so like bigotry, prejudice is not limited to race. Sometimes racist policies or practices are "obvious" (at least when we look back on them historically), for example, the United States' history of slavery (which at the time was legally and religiously justified as natural and acceptable) was based on a racist system. Other times, people disagree about whether or not particular policies or practices are racist; for example, some people argue that Affirmative Action policies (which require companies in the United States to hire a certain quota of...


Know the difference between softball and baseball. Understand the difference between slow-pitch and fast-pitch softball. Know the rules. Know the positions.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Softball and baseball are variations of the same game. The primary difference is that a softball is pitched underhand, while a baseball is pitched overhand. As the name implies, there is also a difference in the balls used.  Softballs are larger and a bit heavier than baseballs. Softballs are less dense and slightly softer than baseballs. Softballs are typically white but may be colored neon green or yellow in the interests of visibility (especially at night). Softball fields are typically smaller than baseball fields (because batted softballs don't travel as far as baseballs). Softball games last for seven innings instead of the nine innings typical of higher-level baseball games.  The bats used in softball are a little shorter and have a wider barrel than the bats used in baseball. There are two types of softball competition, with slight differences between them. Both follow the same general rules.  Slow-pitch is typically coed, and, as the name suggests, the ball is pitched by lobbing it in a high, slow arc toward home plate.  Fast-pitch is played primarily by women and features very quick pitches with large wind-ups. Most softball games consist of seven innings, each with two halves. The first (or "top") half is when the visiting team bats. The second (or "bottom") half is when the home team bats. Each half-inning is played until the fielding team manages to put out three batters or baserunners.   The pitcher will pitch to a batter until one of four things happens:  The batter gets three strikes against him/her. A strike occurs when the batter swings at a pitch but misses it (or hits it foul with less than two strikes against him/her), or when the pitch passes through the strike zone but the batter does not swing at it. The pitcher throws four "balls," which are pitches that fail to pass through the strike zone and which are not swung at by the batter. In this case the batter "walks," meaning s/he is awarded first base.  The pitcher hits the batter with a pitch. In this case, too, the batter is awarded...


Know the difference between “stray” and “feral. Put out food. Cage your cat, if necessary. Be patient.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

” “Stray” refers to a lost or abandoned animal that has been socialized by or with humans.  “Feral” refers to cats that were socialized without human contact.  Pay attention to the cat’s condition and appearance. Disheveled or dirty looking cats are typically strays that have been abandoned and never learned how to clean properly outside of a home environment. Do not approach feral cats directly. Feral cats were born out of doors and grew up apart from human socialization.  In fact, they usually show no interest in human socialization, are fundamentally wild, and should be treated with the same caution exercised toward animals like foxes or raccoons, known to carry diseases like rabies. Stray and feral cats are scavengers.  For this reason, they are likely to accept offerings of kibble or wet cat food if offered.  Put the food out when you see them.  If the cat comes around, take the food out then.  Using a soft voice to talk to the cat, set the food down in a safe, open area. Give them space.  After setting the food down, retreat at least 20 yards, possible more, so that the cat feels non-threatened.  If the cat is interested in the food, you may see a kind of nodding movement, where the cat is sampling the smell of the food from the air. If the cat approaches, continue talking to the cat in reassuring tones.  Talk while it eats and watch its body language.  Does the tail move gently and restfully or does it lay flat?  Do the ears swivel or remain folded back against the head? If the body language shows in restful tail movements and the swiveling ears, the cat is paying attention to you, likely stray, and can be approached gradually over time. Build a routine. If you put food out at around the same time each day, the cat will start to expect this behavior and even wait for you to put out the food. After several days, you can begin moving closer while the cat eats.  Try decreasing distance by a couple of feet every feeding.  If you reach a point where the cat seems evasive or unwilling to eat, slowly back up...


Know the differences between the depths of lures. Know what sizes and types of lures are best for what fish. Consider other details about the lures you choose. Understand the uses of several common types of lures.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

There are three categories of lures based on the depths they're used for: surface, sub-surface, and deep. What type of lure you should use will depend partially on the time of the year in which you're fishing.   During Spring, gamefish are closer to the surface, so surface lures should be used. During Summer, use deep lures. During Fall, sub-surface lures will be most effective. Different sized lures will be more effective with different fish. Typically, the bigger the fish, the bigger the lure should be. Recommend sizes for your lures according to fish type are as follows:  For Crappies, Perch, Bluegills, River Trout, and White Bass, use one to three inch lures. For Smallmouth Bass, use two to five inch lures, and for Largemouth Bass, use two to six inch lures. For Walleyes, use three to six inch lures, and for Salmon and Lake Trout, use three to seven inch lures. For Muskies and Northern Pikes, use four to twelve inch lures. For example, when fishing in water with thick weeds and brush, look for lures with weed guards to prevent snagging. There a variety of theories about how the color of a lure affects its effectiveness. A good rule of thumb is that light colored lures work best in clear water, and darker and fluorescent lures work best in dark, murky water. Different lures are better suited to attract a different types of fish under different settings. Some of the popular types of lures include:  Topwater, or floating plug lures have a lot of movement across the water's surface forcing the fisherman to stay alert. These are surface lures. Diving plug lures, or crankbait lures have a weighted lip in front of the head helping the lure to dive into the water. These can be either sub-surface or deep lures. Vibrating lures contain a microprocessor and a tiny motor that mimics the random movements of live bait. Spoons mimic the movement of swimming baitfish and are very versatile. Soft plastic lures are made to resemble live bait more than any other type of lure. They can be used with or without weights. Jigs...


Know the different notes. Familiarize yourself with popular top notes. Familiarize yourself with popular middle notes. Familiarize yourself with popular base notes. Know the ratios. Know the basic recipe. Find out what notes your favorite perfumes contain.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Perfumes are a blend of different levels of scent, also called “notes”. When you spray a fragrance on your skin, it moves through these notes in the following order:  Top notes are what you smell first. They are also what disappears first, usually within 10 to 15 minutes. Middle notes appear as the top notes die off. These are the fragrance’s core, determining which family the perfume belongs to — for example, oriental, woody, fresh, or floral. Base notes accentuate and fix the fragrance’s middle notes, also known as its theme. They comprise the fragrance’s foundation, making the scent last up to 4 or 5 hours on your skin. Popular top notes include basil, bergamot, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, lime, mint, neroli, rosemary, and sweet orange. These include black pepper, cardamom, chamomile, cinnamon, clove, fir needle, jasmine, juniper, lemongrass, neroli, nutmeg, rose, rosewood, and ylang-ylang. These include cedarwood, cypress, ginger, patchouli, pine, sandalwood, vanilla, and vetiver. When mixing a fragrance, first add your base notes, then your middle notes, then finally, your top notes. The ideal ratio for blending notes is 30% top notes, 50% middle notes, and 20% base notes. Some perfumers recommend combining a maximum of 3 to 4 dominant notes. To make a perfume, you need more than just the top, middle, and base notes: you also need something to add them to.  Your process begins with a carrier oil. Popular choices include jojoba, sweet almond, and grape seed oil. Next, you’ll slowly add drops of your base, middle, and top notes to the carrier oil. Finally, you’ll add something to help merge the ingredients together. Alcohol is a popular choice because it evaporates quickly and helps diffuse the perfume’s notes. A common choice amongst DIY perfumers is a high-quality, 80- to 100-proof (40% to 50% alc/vol) vodka. If you’re looking to make a solid perfume (more like a lip balm), use melted beeswax for the fixative instead of alcohol or water. If you’re unsure of how to structure a perfume, have a look at the...


Know the different types of rosacea. Examine your skin for signs of rosacea. Determine if you are more prone to developing rosacea.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Rosacea is a common skin disease that appears as a tendency for reddened skin, primarily on the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. It can also appear on the ears, chest, and back. There are 4 main types of rosacea:  Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: This type involves redness and visible blood vessels that appear like a spider web. Papulopustular rosacea: This type involves redness and swelling along with acne-like breakouts. Phymatous rosacea: In this type of rosacea, the skin gets thicker and bumpy. Ocular rosacea: The eyes are involved in this form of rosacea where the eyes are reddened and irritated. The eyelids can be become swollen. Ocular rosacea is often described as if the person has a sty. There are a number of symptoms that are commonly associated with rosacea. Take a look at your skin in the mirror to see if you are experiencing any of the following:  Flushing and redness in the center of the face Spider veins (broken blood vessels) Swollen skin Sensitive skin Stinging or burning in the affected skin Dry, rough, or scaly skin In Papulopustular rosacea, acne-like breakouts are common, especially in areas where the skin is very red. In Phymatous rosacea, the skin and nose can become very bumpy and the skin pores may be very large. In Ocular rosacea, the eyes appear watery or bloodshot and may sting, burn, and feel like there is a foreign object in the eye. The eyes can be very sensitive to light. Rosacea is quite common and generally occurs between the ages of 30 to 50 years. Individuals who get it tend to be fair-skinned and have someone in their family with rosacea. Women are slightly more likely to be diagnosed with rosacea than men. Also, people who tend to blush more easily than other people are more likely to develop rosacea.


Know the different types of skin infections. Know your risk. Take care of your feet. Care for your skin. Boost your immune system.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The most common fungal skin infection is athlete's foot, the most common bacterial skin infection is staph, and the most common viral skin infections include herpes simplex (cold sores) and rashes accompanied by viral infections. Knowing the differences between the various types of infections can help you to know the causes of each and how to avoid them.  Fungal infections come from airborne organisms and typically start off in the lungs or skin. Athlete's foot, yeast infections, and ringworms are examples of common fungal infections. Athlete's foot is contagious and can be spread through contaminated floors, towels, and clothing. Bacteria is not always bad; in fact, bacteria is naturally found in the human body and less than 1% has the ability to make people sick. It is the "bad" strains of bacteria (such as Streptococcus or Staphylococcus) which causes skin infections like Cellulitis, Erysipelas and Impetigo. However, skin infections can also spread to your joints, bones, or blood. Additionally, you should be careful if anyone you know has MRSA, which is a resistant bacterial infection. Viral infections are caused by organisms that are small containers with genetic material within. They invade healthy cells, reproduce, and eventually kill the cell to make you sick. Common skin infections caused by viruses include chickenpox, cold sores, measles, and rubella. There are currently no vaccinations for cold sores, so be aware if you come across this infection. Those who are constantly around warm and moist conditions (such as athletes) are more susceptible to infections. Also, people with weakened immune systems (such as those with diabetes, cancer, or HIV) are more likely to have a skin infection.  Many athletes report infection because bacteria tends to thrive in warm and moist areas. Avoid infection by washing frequently, sanitizing shared spaces and equipment, and laundering uniforms after each use. For example, athlete's foot typically occurs as a result of your sweaty feet being confined in tight-fitting...


Know the effect of knotting tie dye. Twist the fabric into a long rope. Tie the rope into a knot. Hold the knots in place with rubber bands.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

An advantage of knotting your tie dye is that you can tie as many knots as you want. This is especially useful for long strips of fabric. Dyeing knotted fabric creates a design where fine lines of white, like the irregular shape of cracked glass, run throughout your dye colors in random directions. Hold each end of your fabric in your hands so the length of it is stretched between. Then twist each hand in opposite directions in a wringing motion. Continue twisting until the fabric cannot be twisted any more. You might want a large, central knot at the center of your fabric to create a focal point in your design. You could also tie many knots to create a series of burst-like points throughout your fabric.  Be careful while twisting and knotting your fabric. You'll want it to be tight, but knotting it too tightly can cause the fabric to rip or warp. After you tie each knot, pull it tight. Hold the tightened knot with one hand to keep it from loosening. Then, with your free hand, reinforce each knot by looping rubber bands over them.


Know the equation for bond accrued interest. Input your variables. Find the period interest rate. Calculate your day-count fraction. Determine the value of your accrued interest.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

It's simpler than it looks: A=P∗CF∗DT{\displaystyle A=P*{\frac {C}{F}}*{\frac {D}{T}}}  "A" is the accrued interest earned. This is the figure you are solving for. "P" is the par value of the bond. "C" is the annual coupon rate or interest rate. For our purposes it should be expressed as a decimal. Simply take the interest rate shown in the bond indenture and divide by 100 to produce the decimal equivalent. For example, a 6% rate would be expressed as 0.06 (6/100).  "F" is the payment frequency (or number of payments per year). This would be 2 for semi-annual payments or 1 for annual ones. "D" is the number of days since your latest coupon payment. "T" is the total number of days in a payment period. This would be 360 for annual payments and 180 for semi-annual ones. Simply put all of the above information into the appropriate places in the equation. Double-check everything to make sure it's expressed correctly.  In the above example, we will use a bond with a par value of $1000 paying a 6% coupon rate semi-annually with a 30/360 DCC. Two months (60 days) have passed since the last payment, so "D" is 60. The total days in the payment period is 180, because payments are made twice per year (360/2=180). The sample equation with all variables included would look like this: A=$1000∗0.062∗60180{\displaystyle A=\$1000*{\frac {0.06}{2}}*{\frac {60}{180}}} This simply means dividing the coupon rate by the payment frequency. This reflects the interest rate earned in each payment period. In the equation, this is C divided by F.  In our example, this calculation would give a rate of 0.03. The equation will look as follows after this calculation: A=$1000∗(0.03)∗60180{\displaystyle A=\$1000*(0.03)*{\frac {60}{180}}} Divide the number of days that have passed since the latest payment by the number of days in your current payment period. This is the final part of the equation. In the example, this calculation would be 60/180, or 0.333. The equation should now look like this: A=$1000∗(0.03)∗(0.333){\displaystyle...


Know the etiology of depression. Realize how common depression is. Look for signs of insecurity that drive the person away from others. Notice if the person takes up bad habits. Expect changes in job performance. Look for weight changes.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Although depression may not have a single cause, and it's not exactly known what causes it, it is a real chemical change in the body and is a true mental illness. There are some factors that are predictive of an individual coming down with depression, including:  The death of a loved one. Separation from a loved one. Financial loss. Dramatic life changes such as relocating to a different city, retirement, or changing jobs. Conflicts in personal life such as divorce, disputes. Burnout or too much work. Additional responsibilities such as the birth of a baby or having to take care of sick parents or relatives. Conflicts in professional life such as changing roles and responsibilities that are not in sync with the person’s interests and skills. Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Debilitating diseases and illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, Parkinson’s, heart diseases, or cancer. Changes in the brain. Sometimes depression happens for "no good reason." However, a certain amount of sadness or difficult feelings are normal when bad things happen. If things don't improve after around 6 months, that's when a bigger problem is assumed to be at hand. Depression affects 6–7% of the total adult population in the US alone. The majority (70%) of diagnosed cases are seen in women — however this may be in part because women may be more comfortable than men in seeking treatment for depression and/or because of the higher risk of suicide in men. Suicide (a behavior associated with depression) is relatively common, too, being a leading cause of death nearly as common as influenza and pneumonia. The person's feelings of self-worth and self-confidence take a beating day in and day out thanks to their negative thought patterns. They are constantly pursued by thoughts which tell them they are not good enough, not lovable, wanted, or competent enough to be liked by others. They have persistent feelings that their company is not something people long for. So, in their mind, it's better to avoid interacting or mingling with people no matter...


Know the factions. Use workers to harvest minerals. Train workers at your town hall. Pay attention to your resources. Construct buildings to expand your base. Build overtop geysers to extract Vespene gas. Assign workers to harvest gas. Learn context-sensitive actions. Construct a building capable of training combat units. Increase your supply to build more units.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

StarCraft II offers three playable factions, or races. The Terran are humans adept at defense and maneuverability. The Zerg are insect-like aliens meant to stage large-scale attacks. The Protoss, an advanced race of warriors, are slow but powerful. You only need one Protoss combat unit for every two to three Zerg and Terran units to win a battle. "Units" refer to the tiny characters that play different roles in your army. Some units can attack, while others have special abilities that can turn the tide of battle when used at the right moment. Minerals are currency that pays for things like buildings, units, and upgrades. At the beginning of every game, you find yourself at a base that consists of a building, four workers, and patches of blue crystals called minerals. Left-click one of the workers, then right-click a mineral patch. Your worker will automatically begin harvesting minerals.  "Workers" and "harvesters" refer to units able to harvest minerals. Each faction has one worker unit. The Terran worker is called an SCV, the Zerg worker is a Drone, and the Protoss worker is called a Probe. You can select multiple units by clicking and dragging around a group of units. "Town hall" is a general term used to refer to a Terran Command Center, Zerg Hatchery, or Protoss Nexus, primary buildings where you train workers and other unit types. Training workers differs depending on the faction you choose.  Terran: Left-click the Command Center, click the Build button in the lower-right corner, then click SCV. Protoss: Left-click the Nexus, click the Build button in the lower-right corner, then click Probe. Zerg: Left click a larva, one of the worm-like critters crawling around near your Hatchery. Click the Build button in the lower-right corner, then click Drone. Every unit, building, and upgrade has a resource cost associated with it. You can view resource costs by clicking your "town hall" (or a larva if you're a Zerg player), clicking Build, and hovering your mouse cursor over the unit you want to build. Your...

Know the formula for calculating average speed. Determine the starting position. Measure the distance to the endpoint. Measure the elapsed time. Calculate the average speed. Convert the units as necessary.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Suppose you want to know the average speed of travel, but you do not have a speedometer. It is possible to calculate speed with some basic measurements and calculations. The average speed of any object is found by dividing the change in position by the change in time. This can be written mathematically as:  speed=ΔxΔt{\displaystyle {\text{speed}}={\frac {\Delta x}{\Delta t}}} In this function, Δx{\displaystyle \Delta x} represents the change in position or the distance traveled. The denominator Δt{\displaystyle \Delta t} represents the change in time. Average speed of an object is the calculation of its change in position, or location, over a chosen period of time. Therefore, to begin, you need to select the starting position for your measurement.  For example, if you want to measure your average walking speed from your house to your school across town, the starting position is your house. The “starting” position does not have to be a true start. For example, you could choose to measure the average speed of a race car in the Indy 500. You might select any point along the track as the “starting” point for your measurement. You can calculate the average speed over any distance or length of time that you choose. The only limiting factor is the quality or precision of your measuring instrument. For example, measuring the speed of a sprinter requires accuracy within a few centimeters, while measuring the speed of a race car needs to be accurate to within a few feet or meters.  To measure your walking speed from home to school, you could find the distance either by looking at a local map, or by traveling the route with a car's odometer. For this example, assume that the distance is 0.6 miles. For the Indy 500 race car, one lap of the Indianapolis Speedway race track is 2.5 miles. Therefore, check the car's position at any point on the track. When the car passes that same point again, it's distance will be 2.5 miles. The average speed requires you to measure the amount of time that goes by. As with the distance...


Know the formula for calculating the effect of compound interest. Determine the variables used in the formula. Plug your values into the formula. Crunch the numbers. Solve the equation.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The formula for calculating compound interest accumulation on a given account balance is: A=P(1+(rn))n∗t{\displaystyle A=P(1+({\frac {r}{n}}))^{n*t}}.  (P) is the principal (P), (r) is the annual rate of interest, and (n) is the number of times the interest is compounded per year. (A) is the balance of the account you are calculating including the effects of interest. (t) represents the periods of time over which the interest is accumulating. It should match with the interest rate you are using (e.g. if the interest rate is an annual rate, (t) should be a number/fraction years). To determine the appropriate fraction of years for a given time period, simply divide the total number of months by 12 or divide the total number of days by 365. Review the terms of your personal savings account or contact a representative from your bank to fill in the equation.  The principal (P) represents either the initial amount deposited into the account or the current amount that you will be measuring from for your interest calculation. The interest rate (r) should be in decimal form. A 3% interest rate should be entered as 0.03. To get this number, simply divide the stated percentage rate by 100. The value of (n) is the number of times per year the interest is calculated and added onto your balance (aka compounds). Interest most commonly compounds monthly  (n=12), quarterly (n=4), or yearly (n=1) but there can be other options, depending on your specific account terms. Once you have determined the amounts of each variable, insert them into the compound interest formula to determine the interest earned over the specified time scale. For example, using the values P=$1000, r=0.05 (5%), n=4 (compounded quarterly), and t=1 year, we get the following equation:  A=$1000(1+(0.054))4∗1{\displaystyle A=\$1000(1+({\frac {0.05}{4}}))^{4*1}}. Interest compounded daily is found in a similar way, except you would substitute 365 for the 4 used above for variable (n). Now that the numbers are in, it's time to solve the formula. Start by...


Know the four categories of inventory. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of holding on to inventory. Understand the costs of holding inventory. Learn how the type of stock influences how much you need to store. Set a minimum level. Determine a re-ordering level. Set a maximum level.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your inventory consists of everything you use to run your business and to provide your service or produce your products.  Inventory can be broken down into four categories.  The type of inventory determines how much of it you should keep on hand.  Raw materials and components are items that you use to produce products. Work in progress is your stock of goods that are in the midst of production.  They are unfinished. Finished goods are your finished products that are ready to be sold. Consumables are materials you use to run your business, such as office supplies or fuel. You can choose to keep small amounts of stock on hand and have it delivered as you need it.  Alternatively, you can choose to keep a lot of stock on hand and store what you are not using currently.  Each method has advantages and disadvantages.  Keeping little or no stock on hand saves you money in storage costs and allows you to always use the most up-to-date components. However, you must have reliable suppliers, and you also run the risk of running out of materials in the midst of production. This also means your costs are related to the latest prices, since every purchase reflects the current price and the purchased inventory is quickly used up. Keeping a lot of stock on hand means you may be able to save money by buying materials in bulk, and you never have to worry about running out of materials.  However, you may have to pay for storage, and items may expire or become outdated before you can use them. You also assume a price risk if purchases go down in price versus the price of your inventory (but make gain if prices rise). Determining the optimum stock level involves balancing the different costs associated with storing and purchasing stock.  The costs of inventory involve purchasing costs, carrying costs and stock out costs.  Ordering costs include paying for transportation, paying for staff to receive, store and control quality of materials and paying clerical staff to prepare requisitions, place orders and manage the ordering...


Know the goal of the game to keep track of the rules. Create a grid of dots at least four dots wide and four dots long. Give each player a pencil or pen. Flip a coin, play rock-paper-scissors, or otherwise decide who gets to go first. Each turn, draw one horizontal or vertical line to connect two dots. Draw the 4th wall of a box to win it for yourself. Take an extra turn if you complete a box. Count up each player's number of boxes once the whole board is covered. Play the game using free internet programs, alternatively.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Dots and boxes is a simple game with a simple goal: whoever "owns" the most boxes at the end of the game wins. You and your opponent take turns drawing horizontal or vertical lines to connect the boxes. When someone draws a line that completes a box, you write your initial inside to win the box. Once all the dots have been connected, you can count up the boxes and find the winner. Using a pen and pencil, make a simple vertical line of dots, each about 1 cm apart. Make three more columns of dots going horizontally, so you have an even square of at least 16 dots.  You can make any size board you want -- from 6x6 to 10x10. Even uneven boards, like a 4x6, will work out fine. While shorter games can be played on 3x3 grids, they must generally be at least 4x4 provide a worthwhile game. It is often fun to play with different color inks, allowing you to look back on the game and see who played or set up what boxes, but it is not essential. In a pinch, you can share a pencil as well. This may seem like a small choice, but for higher-level strategies (which do exist in Dots) there is a slight difference in play for who goes first. The best practice is to play multiple games, switching who is first each time. Note that this difference is slight, especially if you don't care about the precise mathematical strategies. There is no real advantage to going either first or second. Early on this will be mostly random, as there are not enough lines to win any boxes. Each line simply goes from one dot to it's neighboring dot either above, below, left, or right. There are no diagonal lines. Each box is worth one point, so write your initial in the completed box to score it for yourself. If you have two different colored pens, you can also scribble your color in to mark it as well. For strategy purposes, most computer programs use two colors for the teams, usually red and blue. The rest of the article will use Red and Blue as the hypothetical players. Once you've finished a box, drawing the 4th line, you get to keep going. This...


Know the goal of your prank. Ask the prankee what his favorite fruit is. Set the trap of your prank. Tell the prankee to smell the image you've drawn. Smack the prankee's hand lightly into his face.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it for this simple physical prank, is to get the prankee to hit himself in the face. This will have many effects. It will make the prankee feel silly, be humorous to onlookers, and may even leave him thinking, "'How did I fall for that?'" The answer to this question isn't especially important; this is part of your prank! You're trying to distract attention from the possibility you are up to something with this question.  Keep a straight face when you're asking or else you might tip the prankee of your shenanigans! If you have difficulty keeping a straight face, you might want to practice some emotional control exercises. You'll probably want to make up an excuse to explain what you are doing because you'll need to ask to see the prankee's hand. Hold his hand palm up, and with your finger draw the rough image of his favorite fruit. Some excuses you might use to explain what you are doing:  "I learned a real cool trick in my psychology class. You can actually trick the brain into imagining certain smells, like fruit. Here, let me show you." "The other day I was hanging out with my friend and he showed me this real cool magic trick. Can I show you?" "I read about this silly trick online that's supposed to fool your nose into smelling something that isn't there. It didn't work on me. You want to give it a try? It's real easy." To do this, the prankee will have to bring the palm of his hand up to his face and up to his nose. You are now in striking distance of completing your prank. While the prankee is smelling his hand, hit it lightly so that he lightly smacks himself on the nose. You might want to follow this up with some good-natured heckling, saying things like:  "I can't believe you fell for that!" "It's OK, I fell for that one, too. That's why I had to pull it on you!" "I gotcha pretty good, didn't I?"


Know the grade of each food item. Auction off unwanted food items. Sell unwanted ingredients.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

In every fuse of food and drinks, you will get an unidentified food item. Before you can use the food or drink you have created, you must right click the unidentified food item first to get a random grade. Every grade has different boost and duration.  White Grade—This is the most basic food item grade. This is mostly gained from purchasing food from a Grocer or Merchant. Its boost only lasts 30 minutes. Green Grade—Compared to White Grade, Green Grade has added stats; for example, Helonian Fruit Jelly only has DMG +63 while Rainbow Jelly has DMG +63 and Crit DMG +5%. Usually, Green Grade food items lasts for 1 hour after using it. Orange Grade—Orange Grade food items usually lasts 3 hours, with a higher stat compared to the Green Grade, and also has an additional boost. For example, a Green Grade Rainbow Jelly has Crit DMG +5%, but an Orange Grade Rainbow Jelly gets upgraded to Crit DMG against bosses +15%. Purple Grade—Obtaining a Purple Grade food item can be difficult, but possible. It has the same duration as Orange Grade but with a slight difference of boost. In Purple Grade, a Rainbow Jelly gets upgraded from Crit DMG against bosses +15% to Crit DMG against players +15%. Gold Grade—This is a very rare food grade. It slightly increases the boosts compared to Purple Grade. For example, an Orange Grade Rainbow Jelly gives DMG+ 76 and Crit DMG against players +15%; Gold Grade has DMG +82 and Crit DMG +15% (to both monsters and players). The boosts also lasts up to 6 hours. Players often make a lot of food and drinks until they obtain a high-grade food item. If you're planning to farm and fuse to get the grade you want, remember to sell your unwanted food item instead of throwing it away. Food and drink items are a good source of money. The more gold you have, the more food you can fuse. You can sell your raw ingredients using the Auction or selling to the Grocer or Merchant to gain more silver. With this, you can save on inventory and earn profit. Note that some ingredients and even food items cannot be traded.


Know the hazards of drinking unpurified water. Increase your chance of survival while looking for water. Be prepared to purify the water you find. Avoid stagnant water.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Drinking water that is poisonous, contaminated with parasites or bacteria, or is tainted by human waste can cause serious health complications. This can be a threat to your survival in an emergency a wilderness experience. Illnesses associated with contaminated water include:  Dysentery Cholera Typhoid Sweat will make you dehydrate faster, so you should avoid activities that may make you sweat while looking for water. You should also:  Stay in the shade, if possible. Avoid eating anything while thirsty. Damp your clothes in hot conditions to cool yourself in hot climates. Carry materials, like a plastic sheet, to make water collection devices. You can do this simply by bringing water to a boil over a fire, though this might not always be an option. To ensure you don't end up drinking water potentially tainted with parasites or bacteria, you should consider:  Carrying water purifying tablets. Purchasing a simple water filtration device, like a water purifying straw. Instead, choose water that is clear and flowing. Remember that Stagnant water is an ideal breeding ground for many disease-carrying insects and parasites. When deciding on whether or not a source of flowing water is safe to drink, keep in mind:  The location of the nearest human settlement. The areas downstream from a city can easily be tainted by human activities. The source or origin of a water source will likely be safest for drinking.


Know the importance of sanitizing your equipment. Sanitize all pots, bowls, and mixing tools that you will be using. Sterilize the stick/handheld blender. Make sure that all of your equipment is dry.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you don't keep all your pots, bowls, spoons, and containers clean, you might introduce bacteria into your lotion. This can lead to rashes and infections. Everything you use must be kept clean and dry. Rinsing with tap water is not enough, as tap water often contains bacteria that might contaminate your equipment and lotion. Once you are done sanitizing your equipment, be sure to dry everything with clean paper towels. You can sanitize your equipment in two ways:  Spray your equipment down with rubbing alcohol. Then, wipe everything dry with clean paper towels. Soak your equipment in a solution of bleach and water. Use 1 ounce (29.6 milliliters) bleach for every gallon (3.8 liters) of water. Fill a bowl with water and a few pumps of dish soap. Add a splash of bleach. Beat the water with the blender for a few minutes. Stop the blender and rinse it out. Dry it off with some clean paper towels and pour out the soapy bleach water. Any trace of water, especially tap water, gives bacteria a chance to develop and breed.


Know the inch. Understand feet. Progress to yards. Learn about miles.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The inch is the smallest unit of length you'll likely see when working within the U.S. standard. An inch is roughly the same length as the last joint of an average adult finger. This is only an estimate, though, and not an accurate way to measure inches. The foot is the second smallest unit you'll probably need, and 1 foot equals 12 inches. As its name suggests, the foot was originally named since it roughly matched the length of an adult male's foot. Since human feet vary so much in length, though, you cannot accurately measure U.S. standard feet using your own foot. Yards are slightly larger than feet. To be more precise, 1 yard equals 3 feet.  This also means that there are 36 inches in 1 yard. As an estimate, one yard is roughly the same length as the height of a standard acoustic guitar. Miles are one of the largest units you'll see within this measuring system. There are 1,760 yards in 1 mile. This means that there are also 5,280 feet in 1 mile. Similarly, there are 63,360 inches in one mile.


Know the key terms. Learn how compounding returns work. Use a time-weighted return to calculate your compound rate of return. Calculate your overall return. Know the Excel formulas for these calculations.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

In discussing annualized portfolio returns, there are several key terms that will come up repeatedly and are important for you to understand. These are as follows:  Annual Return: Total return earned on an investment over a period of one calendar year, including dividends, interest, and capital gains.   Annualized Return: Yearly rate of return which is inferred by extrapolating returns measured over periods either shorter or longer than one calendar year.   Average Return: Typical return earned per time period calculated by taking the total  return realized over a longer period and spreading it evenly over the (shorter) periods.   Compounding Return: A return that includes the results of re-investing interest, dividends, and capital gains.    Period: A specific length of time chosen to measure and calculate return, such as daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually. Periodic Return: The total return of an investment measured over a specific length of time. Compounding returns are growth on the gains that you have already earned. The longer your money compounds, the faster it will grow, and the greater your annualized returns will be. (Think of a snowball rolling downhill, getting bigger faster as it rolls.)  Let’s say you invest $100 and earn 100% on it your first year, leaving you with $200 at the end of year one. If you gain just 10% in the second year, you will have earned $20 on your $200 by the end of year two. However, if we say you earned just 50% during the first year, you would have $150 at the beginning of the second year. That same 10% gain in year two would earn 15 dollars rather than 20. This is a full 33% less than the 20 dollars you would have made in our first example. To further illustrate, let’s say you lost 50% in year one, leaving you with just 50 dollars. You would then need to earn 100% just to get back to even (100% of $50 = $50, and $50 + $50 = $100). The size and timing of gains play a huge role when accounting for compound returns and their effect on annualized returns. In other words,...


Know the kind of lifestyle you want to lead, and stick to it. Learn to live with roommates. Be safe. Don’t pressure people into doing anything they don’t want to do. Expose yourself to the diversity of your campus. Join a club or activity.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

For some people, college is first and foremost an opportunity to let loose. For others, academics are the sole priority. Many people are probably somewhere in between. Wherever you stand, there will be others like you. Don’t feel pressured to drink or do anything else you don’t want to do. That being said, remember that college is the time when you learn how to be your own adult. Make choices that line up with your values and make you happy. Remember that sometimes, you and your parents or other authority figures may disagree, and that's okay. Sharing a room is challenging, especially if you have never had to do so before. Start off on the right foot by talking about how the space should be used, and respect those decisions once they are made.  This includes decisions about both the physical space and behavior. Where do you stand on drinking in the room? Having parties? Hosting overnight guests? Try to hash out an agreement, and consult your Resident Advisor (RA) if you cannot. If problems come out, communicate your concerns. It doesn’t help to be passive aggressive or let things fester. Your roommate is probably not doing things to bother you intentionally, so give them the benefit of the doubt and see if you can work things out.  Even if you and your roommate get along great, it is a good idea to spend some time apart. Make sure you aren’t sticking to them to the exclusion of making other friends. Whether you can’t stand your roommate or are best friends who are constantly gabbing, you might find it helpful to identity a place outside of your room to study, be it the library or a local coffee shop. If all else fails, know that you are learning valuable people skills that will help you deal with difficult individuals in the future. If you feel threatened by your roommate or your roommate is engaging in any illegal behavior, talk to your RA. You may be able to switch rooms. At the very least, you will have a record that you reported the activity and weren't a part of it. College offers new freedoms, but it...


Know the laws regarding right to work states. Know the laws regarding the right to strike. Know the employer's rights during a strike.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

A right to work law protects the rights of employees not to be coerced into joining a union or providing the union financial support. Be aware of these laws during your union campaign and beyond, especially if you live in a right to work state, as you do not want to be in violation of the law. Relevant to the concept of forming a union is a right to strike. Remember, however, that although as an employee you have a right to strike, not all strikes are legal. Some strikes, such as those in protest of an unfair labor practice by the employer, are legal and are protected by the National Labor Relations Act. However, some collective bargaining agreements that unions enter into with employers contain a "no-strike" clause. With a few exceptions, violating a no-strike clause is illegal. Although the National Labor Relations Act protects the right to strike, your employer is allowed by law to hire replacement workers during the strike. Once the strike is over, your right to reinstatement depends on the reason for the strike.  If the strike was in protest of an unfair labor practice, then you cannot be permanently replaced or fired. After the strike is over, you have a right to be reinstated even if it means that the replacement employees have to be let go.  If your strike was for economic reasons, you will have fewer reinstatement rights. You cannot be fired in that scenario but you can be replaced. If the employer has hired permanent replacements while you were on strike, you will not be entitled to immediate reinstatement but will have a right to be reinstated as when when a job opening arises.


Know the layout of the chessboard. Acquaint yourself with the way each piece moves. Make use of the space you have.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Study the board itself and get an understanding of how the playing field is configured. There are 64 squares on a chessboard: exactly twice as many as there are pieces. These squares are arranged in columns (known as “files”) and rows (known as “ranks”) of alternating dark and light colors. Getting used to the layout of the chessboard will improve your spatial awareness and allow you to better capitalize on openings.  Most beginners and casual players take the chess board for granted—they see a jumble of squares and pieces and aren’t able to look past the chaos to the significance behind each point of positioning. For this reason, the casual player is never able to develop a winning strategy. The chessboard can feel pretty cramped in the early going if you don’t know how to properly mobilize your pieces. Chess is played using 32 game pieces—on each side there are 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, a king and a queen. Each piece type has a unique pattern of direction that it must follow to move and capture other pieces. Be aware of what these patterns are, and how they are best employed in different parts of the board. Using your pieces in the areas where they’re most effective will keep the game in your favor.  You might already have a passing knowledge of how chess is played, but unless you’ve learned the capabilities and limitations of each piece like the back of your hand, your game will be lacking. There are no “good” or “bad” pieces in chess. Each piece serves a unique function and has advantages that the other pieces don’t have. Once you know how to move each piece, you can begin formulating a game plan using the space you have on the board. No two games will proceed in exactly the same way, so the pieces will always be arranged differently. Look for clear paths to move your pieces along that will put them closer to your opponent’s vulnerable pieces or get them out of harm’s way. Movements should be made decisively, with a clear motive in mind, rather than at random.  Lure your opponent into...


Know the lead limits for color additives. Be wary of traditional eyeliners. Use progressive hair dyes cautiously, and only as intended. Weigh your options with lipstick.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has limited authority to regulate cosmetics, but it can legally regulate color additives in cosmetics (as well as foods and drugs).  Color additives require prior approval from the FDA before the products can legally be manufactured or sold in the U.S. Although there are some variations, the typical limit for lead in a color additive is 20 parts per million, which is well within recognized safe parameters under normal use.  A listing of FDA-permitted color additives is available at http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/Labeling/IngredientNames/ucm109084.htm. Eyeliners known by names including kohl, kajal, and surma have long been popular in many parts of the world, and occasionally appear for sale in the U.S.  However, these eyeliners contain high amounts of lead and are not approved for sale or use in the U.S.  The danger of these products is real — they have been linked to cases of lead poisoning in children. These eyeliners are on an FDA “import alert,” meaning they can be seized by FDA field personnel to prevent sale or distribution. Most hair dye products, and especially progressive hair dyes that darken hair color over time, use color additives that are subject to FDA approval.  They typically contain lead acetate, and are permitted by the FDA to have much higher concentrations of lead than is typically allowed for color additives. The FDA contends that, when used as intended, the elevated lead content in these products is not a health concern because the product does not enter the body.  However, the products must contain this special label on the packaging: "Caution: Contains lead acetate. For external use only. Keep this product out of children's reach. Do not use on cut or abraded scalp. If skin irritation develops, discontinue use. Do not use to color mustaches, eyelashes, eyebrows, or hair on parts of the body other than the scalp. Do not get in eyes. Follow instructions carefully and wash hands thoroughly after use." Lipstick is the most common cause for...


Know the legal minimum age. Evaluate how well your child can focus. Consider whether your child has been left home alone before.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Make sure you are aware of your state's minimum age requirement for children to be left alone with other children. Most of the time, it is 12 years old. If you give them a job to do, can they concentrate and get it done? Are they easily distracted? The ability to stay present to a task is a big part of maturity. You will want to be sure that you child is capable of carrying out all of the parents' instructions. The parents would not be pleased to come home and discover that their child has not had dinner and is up past his bedtime, and that the toys are all over the place. Your child needs to be able to be unsupervised in their own home before they can be left alone in someone else's home. If you have left your child home alone, ask yourself how well this has gone. The child should be able to do things like prepare simple meals.


Know the limitations of medicines. Wash and condition your child’s hair. Rinse. Do not dry hair. Comb. Repeat.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Most medicated lice treatments are not safe for use on newborn babies or infants under two months of age. You will need to remove the lice by hand. Use a baby-safe shampoo and conditioner and wash your child’s hair. After applying baby-safe shampoo and conditioner, rinse the child’s hair out thoroughly. Be sure to use warm or room temperature water. Many of the adult lice will die and fall out of your child’s hair during the washing and rinsing process. To navigate through your child’s hair identifying lice more effectively, leave your child’s hair wet. Do not use a towel or blow dryer to dry the child’s hair. Take a small, fine-tooth comb or a nit-comb available at most pharmacies and go through the individual strands of your child’s hair, removing the lice and nits in the comb’s bristles. Be sure to rinse the comb out after each pass through the hair to avoid redepositing lice back on to your child’s head. Do not share nit-combs. If multiple children are infected, they should each have their own comb to be thrown away after treatment. It will likely take multiple washing and combing sessions to remove all the lice and nits. Repeat the above process every three to four days to ensure you are eliminating lice that have recently hatched from their eggs.


Know the limitations. Attempt to insert an equation. Install the add-on if necessary.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Equations written in Word 2003 or earlier cannot be edited in later versions of Word. If you are collaborating with other Word users, it's best to upgrade to a more recent version. From the top menu, select Insert → Object → Create New. If you see "Microsoft Equation 3.0" or "Math Type" in the Objects list, select it to insert an equation. Otherwise, go to the next step.  Once you've inserted an equation, a small window will open with various symbols. Click these buttons and select the symbol you need to add it to the equation. Word 2003 does not have the same formatting options as later versions. Some equations may look less professional than you're used to. If your copy of Word 2003 does not have one of the add-ons you mentioned above, you'll need to install one. It's not easy to locate these anymore, but fortunately the install package may already be waiting on your computer:  Close all Microsoft Office programs. Navigate to Start → Control Panel → Add or Remove Programs. Select Microsoft Office → Change → Add or Remove Features → Next. Click the + symbol next to Office Tools. Select Equation Editor and click Run, then Update. Follow the onscreen instructions. If you're unlucky, you may need the Word 2003 install CD.


Know the object of the game.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The goal of the game is to eventually win all of the cards. War is generally played between two people, but up to four people can play. The ranking for cards in War from highest to lowest is A K Q J T (10) 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2. Nothing beats an Ace and a 2 beats nothing.


Know the official language of your area.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Language is extraordinarily diverse in this region. For example, India has 23 official languages, but you can generally get by with English or Hindi.  Armenian = gu nerek (excuse me),Pedkaranuh ooreh? or Dzukaraneh ooreh? Arabic (Saudi Arabia; UAE) = Ayna Al Hammam? (أين الحمام؟) Arabic (Levant)= Way al ham-AM? (وين الحمام؟) Azerbijiani = Tualet (ayaq yolu) haradadır? Bengali (Bangladesh) = বাথরুম কোথায়? Bathroom Kothay? (baat-room Ko-THAY?) Georgian = sahd ah-rees t'oo-ah-leh-t'ee? Greek (Cyprus) = Parakalo, pou ine i tualetta? (Πού είναι η τουαλέτα;) Hebrew (Israel) = Slikha, ehfo hah sherooteem? (סליחה, איפה השירותים?) Hindi  = सौ्चालय् कहा् है? saunchalay (pronounced "sawchaalay") kahan hain? (The "n"s in "kahan"and "hain"are not actually pronounced, few people actually use the word saunchalay so you can just say bathroom) Malayalam = Bathroom evide aanu? Marathi = Where is Toilet -> Sandas kuthe aahe ? (संडास कुठे आहे?) Nepali = Bathroom (pronounce more like "baatroom")/snaan kaksha kahaan cha? Pashto (Afghanistan) = tashnaab chērē day?

Know the order of operations. Start by solving all of the terms in parentheses. Solve the exponents. Solve the multiplication problems in your expression. Move on to division. Add Subtract Review your expression.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

When simplifying math expressions, you can't simply proceed from left to right, multiplying, adding, subtracting, and so on as you go. Some math operations take precedence over others and must be done first. In fact, doing operations out of order can give you the wrong answer. The order of operations is: terms in parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and, finally, subtraction. A handy acronym you can use to remember this is "Please excuse my Dear Aunt Sally," or "PEMDAS". Note that, while basic knowledge of the order of operations makes it possible to simplify most basic expressions, specialized techniques are needed to simplify many variable expressions, including nearly all polynomials. See Method Two below for more information. In math, parentheses indicate that the terms inside should be calculated separately from the surrounding expression. Regardless of the operations being performed within them, be sure to tackle the terms in parentheses as your first act when you attempt to simplify an expression. Note that, however, within each pair of parentheses, the order of operations still applies. For instance, within parentheses, you should multiply before you add, subtract, etc.  As an example, let's try to simplify the expression 2x + 4(5 + 2) + 32 - (3 + 4/2). In this expression, we would solve the terms in parentheses, 5 + 2 and 3 + 4/2, first. 5 + 2 = 7. 3 + 4/2 = 3 + 2 = 5. The second parenthetical term simplifies to 5 because, owing to the order of operations, we divide 4/2 as our first act inside the parentheses. If we simply went from left to right, we might instead add 3 and 4 first, then divide by 2, giving the incorrect answer of 7/2.  Note - if there are multiple parentheses nested inside one another, solve the innermost terms first, than the second-innermost, and so on. After tackling parentheses, next, solve your expression's exponents. This is easy to remember because, in exponents, the base number and the power are positioned right next to each other.

Know the origins. Learn the benefits.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Garcinia cambogia is a tropical fruit native to Indonesia.  It is also known as brindleberry, Malabar tamarind, and kudam puli.  It looks like a small, light green pumpkin and is used in Indonesia for cooking. It has a sour taste. Garcinia contains a type of citric acid, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which appears to encourage weight loss by regulating the release of serotonin and the uptake of blood sugar. It also increases the oxidation of existing fats and decreasing the synthesis of new fat. While it is not very clear yet, this may mean that Garcinia may increase the biochemical use of fats for energy and decrease the amounts of new fat that is made.  Serotonin is a type of neurotransmitter, which is a chemical messenger between nerves and other types of cells. It is related to feelings of happiness, moods, and a sense of well-being.  Studies have been conducted to determine whether garcinia supplements encourage weight loss in people who are overweight, and the results have not been clear cut.  The upshot is that concentrated Garcinia may help people lose weight, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. But there is no scientific evidence showing it actually has an effect.


Know the parts of speech. Recognize points of view. Use proper word order. Conjugate verbs properly. Punctuate sentences properly.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

These are the types of words that make up the language, and they are nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, and sometimes articles. To put sentences together properly, you must understand what the parts of speech are and how they function in sentences.  Nouns are the elements that usually perform the action in a sentence, such as a person, place, thing, idea, emotion, animal, or event. Nouns include Sally, Paris, sand , philosophy , happiness, dog, and birthday. Adjectives modify nouns and describe aspects or characteristics of nouns. Adjectives include red, funny, lazy, large, and short. Pronouns take the place of nouns. There are personal subject pronouns (such as I, she, and they), personal object pronouns (such as us, you, it, and them), personal possessive pronouns (such as mine, yours, his, hers, and theirs), and relative pronouns (such as who, which, that, and whose). Verbs indicate actions or states of being and tell what the noun is doing. Verbs include run, sing, type, be, and walk. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, prepositions, and other adverbs. They are words like quickly, well, and slowly. These words often end in –ly. Prepositions indicate relationships in time, space, or direction. Prepositions include to, in, on, over, of, and across. Conjunctions join nouns, clauses, phrases, and sentences. Coordinating conjunctions link independent clauses, and they are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so (remember FANBOYS). Subordinating conjunctions link dependent clauses, and they include because, if, since, while, and although. Interjections are words that indicate emotions. These include oh, hey, ouch, and wow. They are often followed by exclamation points. Articles are used to modify and define nouns. The is a definite article, and a and an are the indefinite articles. In terms of grammatical person, English has three points of view, and each of those can be either singular or plural. The points of view are: singular or plural...


Know the requirements for a clinical diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder. Check for a history of criminal activity or arrests. Identify compulsive lying or conning behavior. Watch out for a reckless disregard for safety. Identify impulsive behavior or a failure to plan ahead. Beware of repeated physical assaults on others. Watch for poor work and financial ethics. Look for a lack of empathy and rationalization of inflicted pain. Pick up on a pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

In order to be diagnosed with APD, a person must exhibit at least three of the antisocial behaviors classified in the DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual). The DSM is the official compilation of all mental illnesses and their symptoms, and is used by psychologists to determine a diagnosis. Someone with antisocial personality disorder will have a history of repeatedly being arrested for crimes, major or petty. These crimes often begin in adolescence and continue on into adulthood. People with antisocial personality disorder also tend to have drug and alcohol abuse problems, meaning that they may be arrested for possession or use of drugs or have a DUI. You may want to run a background check yourself if the individual does not disclose his past history to you. Sufferers of the disorder will show lifelong habits of compulsive lying, even about mundane or irrelevant things. As they grow older, this pattern of lying may turn into a form of con artistry, in which they manipulate others for their own gain using their lies. As a related symptom, they may develop aliases to hide behind, either for the purpose of conning people, or just as another form of lying. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to disregard safety of both themselves and others altogether. They may either ignore a potentially dangerous situation or put themselves or someone else intentionally into danger. On a small scale, this might include driving at high speeds or starting fights with strangers, while on a more extreme scale it might mean physically injuring, torturing, or altogether neglecting another person. It is common for a sufferer of the disorder to show a lack of planning ability, for either near-to-date or future plans. They may not sense a correlation between their current behaviors and long-term outcomes, such as how doing drugs now and going to jail might affect their future plans. They may do things quickly without judgment, or make rash decisions without thinking. Physical assaults by individuals with APD can vary...


Know the requirements for your field/department. Nail down your thesis idea. Prepare an outline. Know what to include.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

An English Master's Thesis has different requirements and employs different formats than a Master's Thesis in Chemistry. There are two types of Master's theses:  Qualitative. This type of thesis involves completing a project that is exploratory, analytical, or creative in some way. Usually, students in the humanities will complete this kind of thesis. Quantitative. This type of thesis involves conducting experiments, measuring data, and recording results. Students in the sciences usually complete this kind of thesis. Prepare a clear statement of the central thesis question that you intend to answer with your research. Being able to state your thesis explicitly and clearly is important. If you struggle with stating the question, you might need to rethink your project altogether. The outline will be beneficial to you to "see where you're going" as you move forward in your project, but also to give your committee members an idea of what you want to accomplish and how you plan to do so. You should check with your university for the exact requirements, which are often strict and institutionally specific. However, most Master's theses should include the following:  Title page Signature page (with the completed signatures of your advising committee - usually attained at the defense, or after the project is deemed complete) Abstract - this is a short (one paragraph or so) description/summary of the work completed in your thesis Table of Contents (with page numbers) Introduction Body of paper Conclusion Works Cited or Bibliography Any necessary appendices or endnotes


Know the responsibilities of a CNA. Ask to shadow a CNA for a day. Educate yourself on career expectations.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

CNA stands for certified nursing assistant. Being a CNA means being a member of a health team and working under the supervision of a certified nurse.  A CNA's job is hands-on. You provide care to patients, residents, clients, and customers. It's a busy job and hours are usually long.  A CNA's work is generally in the realm of non-invasive procedures. Assistance is a big part of the job. You will help with bathing, toilet issues, dressing, eating, and oral care when patients cannot perform these tasks alone. You will also monitor vital signs and assure a patient's dietary restrictions are met.  While the job is not glamorous, it is important. You're essentially responsible for assuring patients are treated with dignity and respect and bridging the communication gap between doctors, nurses, and patients. Important information is transferred from patient to nurse/doctor via the CNA. A CNA is not like other professional pursuits. It's highly rewarding work but also very challenging. As so much of the profession involves hands-on care, the best way to know if you're up to the task is to witness a CNA in action.  If you are a high school or college student, your school might have a program where you can shadow professionals. Check with your principle or with the Office of Student Affairs and see if you can set something up with CNA in your area. Call local hospitals. Even if they don't have pre-existing programs for shadowing nursing assistants, they might be willing to work with you if you express interest. This is also a great way to make career connections that could be vital in finding a job down the line. Stay in touch with the CNA you shadow and do not hesitate to ask them for career advice. While some people choose CNA as a longterm career, others use it as a stepping stone to other medical professions. Figure out why you want to become a CNA and whether you hope to advance to other positions. Carefully consider what a career as a CNA looks like before making any major decisions.  Compassion is key to...


Know the risk factors for alcoholism. Learn the stages of alcohol use disorder. Evaluate how much/how often you drink. Assess whether you've experienced withdrawal symptoms. Admit that you might have a dependency/addiction.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Many people may not realize that they are at risk of developing an alcohol addiction before ever consuming a single drink. Your genetics and family history play a huge role in your potential risks of developing an addiction to alcohol, and it's important to have a serious talk with your doctor to determine your risks.  People with mood disorders or mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, are at a higher risk of developing a drinking problem. Low self-esteem and/or feeling "out of place" are commonly associated risk factors for developing problems with alcohol. Anyone with parents who had alcohol dependency/addiction is at a very high risk of developing a drinking problem. Most people do not become an alcoholic after their first drink. Problems with alcohol tend to come on much more gradually, which can make it all the more difficult to observe yourself sliding from one stage to the next. Learning the stages of alcohol use disorder can help you better assess where you are on the spectrum and what your potential risk might be at a given point in time.  Stage one is having access to alcohol. In this stage, it's important to minimize the risk factors that make you more likely to use/abuse alcohol. Stage two is experimentation with or occasional-to-weekly use of alcohol. This stage may involve binge drinking, drinking on a regular basis, or both. Stage three involves an increase in the frequency of alcohol use. In this stage, a person with a developing alcohol use disorder may drink daily or almost daily, and may begin stealing to acquire alcohol. Stage four is marked by an established and consistently frequent consumption of alcohol. People in this stage tend to become preoccupied with drinking/intoxication and are likely to experience social, educational, vocational, or family problems caused by drinking. Stage five is the final and most serious stage of alcohol use disorder. In this stage a person only feels normal while drinking and is highly likely to engage in risk-taking behaviors. The...


Know the risk factors of developing uterine fibroids. Recognize the symptoms of uterine fibroids. Discuss treatment options with your doctor.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Fibroids are very common, especially in women who have reached childbearing age. Women who have not had children may be at higher risk of developing fibroids.  Your risk of developing fibroids increases as you age. Women between the age of 30 and menopause are the most commonly affected.  Having a family member, such as a sister, mother, or cousin, with uterine fibroids increases your risk of developing them.  Women of African descent appear more likely to develop fibroids, especially as they age. Some studies suggest that African American women are two to three times more likely to develop fibroids than white women. 80% of African American women develop fibroids by age 50, compared to 70% of white women. (Though, again, keep in mind that a large percentage of women who have fibroids do not experience any symptoms or problems related to the presence of the fibroids.) Women with a BMI (Body Mass Index) above the “normal” range” are more likely to develop fibroids.  Women who began menstruating at an early age (i.e., before 14) are at a higher risk of developing fibroids. Many women who have fibroids do not know they have them. In many women, fibroids do not cause significant health problems. However, if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, see your physician:  Heavy and/or prolonged menstrual bleeding Significant change in menstruation patterns (e.g., sharply increased pain, much heavier bleeding) Pelvic pain, or feelings of “heaviness” or “fullness” in the pelvic area Pain during sexual intercourse Frequent and/or difficult urination Constipation Backache Infertility or recurrent miscarriage If you do have fibroids, discuss treatment options with your doctor. In many cases, treatment is not necessary. However, in some cases, medication or surgical procedures may be necessary. The treatment your doctor recommends will vary depending on several factors, such as whether you wish to become pregnant in the future, your age, and the severity of the fibroids.  Drug therapy, such as hormonal birth...
