Manage your stress. Meditate. Do yoga. Cultivate your sense of humor. Reach out for support. Find a mentor. Focus on your health.

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

While it can be difficult to stay calm during times of hardship and worry, the stress impedes your ability to remain resilient. Managing stress will allow you to tackle the difficulties with greater serenity and focused thinking instead of burying yourself down deeper and trying to hide. Make stress management a priority, no matter how busy you are.  If you are overbooked and under slept, see if there are any commitments you can cut back on. Indulge in activities that let you completely unwind. Give yourself that space and peace to relax regularly, thereby giving your resilience a chance to increase. Engage in positive activities to reduce stress and increase your positive mood.  Think of stress as a challenge or opportunity. If you are stressed, this means you care deeply about something that you are doing. You are worried about it. Use your stress as a way to inform you about your priorities and obligations. Change your thinking from stress-related thoughts such as, "I don't have enough time," to, "I know that I can do this. I just have to organize my responsibilities." Meditating can help you clear your mind, lower stress, and feel more ready to face the day and any challenges ahead of you. Studies also show that just 10 minutes of meditation can make you feel as rested as getting another hour of sleep, as well as making you feel more relaxed and able to cope with your problems. If you feel overwhelmed or burnt out, meditating can help you slow down and feel in control of your situation. Just find a comfortable seat and close your eyes, focusing on the breath rising in and out of your body. Work on relaxing your body one part at a time. Block out any noise or distractions. A study from Harvard Medical School showed that people who do yoga as opposed to other forms of physical fitness were less prone to angry outbursts and more capable of dealing with challenges. When you do yoga, you will strike challenging poses and will learn to build strength and endurance in holding the poses even when your body is...


Manage your time Pace yourself. Get enough rest. Clear your mind of anything that doesn't have to do with the topic you're studying. Eliminate electronic distractions.

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

. Make a weekly schedule and devote a certain amount of time per day to studying. This can be an hour or even 3 hours in total. This will also improve your grades. That amount will vary depending on whether you're in high school or college, and also varies by field of study. Make sure you stick to your schedule as much as possible but don't be afraid to go off of plan sometimes to study more for the most recent upcoming exam. Make sure this study plan is realistic and not impossible.   You need to balance school, work, and extracurricular activities. If you are really struggling with your classes, you may want to give up the after school job or an extracurricular activity until your grades come up. You need to prioritize your time. Remember: your education is the most important thing because it is the foundation of your future success.   For college classes, you should base the hours you study per class on how difficult the class is and how many credit hours the class is worth. For example, if you have a 3-hour physics class that is really hard, you want to study 9 hours a week (3 hrs x 3 for hard difficulty). If you have a literature course that is worth 3 hours and is kind of hard, you may want to study 6 hours a week (3 hrs x 2 for medium difficulty). Find the best speed for you to study and adjust accordingly. Some concepts or classes will come to you more naturally, so you can study those more quickly. Other things may take you twice as long. Take the time you need and study at the pace you feel comfortable.  Studying in 20 minute intervals will help make it a lot easier to retain information. If you study more slowly, remember that you will need more time to study. Make enough time in your schedule to get enough sleep. Get a good night's sleep every night and you'll be making the best of your study time. This is important as you lead up to the test, and especially important right before you take the test. Studies have shown that sleep positively impacts test taking by improving memory and attentiveness....


Manage your time wisely Study for tests and exams ahead of time. Get help if your grades fall behind. Take responsibility for your words and actions. Work part time if you can.

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

. Managing your time will significantly help you become a better student and a more-productive worker. Time-management skills are highly valued by teachers and employers alike, and they can help ensure that you never miss a deadline or fail to prepare for an exam.  Use a calendar or planner to help you keep track of deadlines, appointments, and other obligations. Don't procrastinate. You won't actually buy yourself any time, and you'll just be even more stressed later on. Break your tasks down into smaller, more manageable parts. This can help make a big project much easier to accomplish.  Have a timeline for the things you need to accomplish and work on those tasks in a logical order. Decide which tasks are a priority and which tasks/projects need to be completed before the next can be started. Every instructor designs exams differently. If your teacher hasn't specified how he or she arranges tests/exams and which material will be covered, you'll need to ask your teacher outside of class. That way you'll be able to adequately prepare for the test more efficiently.  Start studying early. Avoid procrastinating and cramming right before a test/exam. Try to understand the material both broadly and precisely. Start out with the general concept and work towards understanding the details of each subject. Test yourself as you study to determine which subject areas need more work. Use flash cards to review terms/names/dates, then design a self-quiz to see if you have a firm grasp on the material. Whether you missed an important class, have trouble with certain concepts, or are dealing with a stressful family emergency, there's a chance that your grades might slip at some point. If this happens, it's important to get help right away. Remember that you don't have to resign yourself to bad grades if you're proactive and dedicated to your studies.  Keep track of your grade in the course and recognize patterns of poor grades. Your instructor may not address your grades unless you bring them up.  Set up a meeting with your...


Manage your triggers. See your doctor. Ask about triptans. Ask about anti-nausea medications.

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

For many people, migraines and the subsequent symptoms—including nausea—are triggered by sources that they can control or reduce their exposure to. Keep track of what you were doing shortly before your migraine came on over the course of several attacks, and see if you can find a consistent trigger. Common ones include:  Emotional or physical fatigue due to stress or exertion Abrupt changes in weather Altitude Motion such as from travel Poor sleep Missing meals Certain smells Hormonal changes, such as in menstruating women Specific foods and beverages, including aged cheese, chocolate, red wines, coffee, beer, etc. (also, certain food additives such as monosodium glutamate and nitrates) Your doctor will be able to provide prescriptions to a wide selection of different medications that have shown efficacy in managing nausea and other migraine symptoms. These medications often require trial and error to discover which combination works best to control your symptoms.  If you are vomiting at least three times a day, you need to see your doctor. Vomiting too much will predispose you to fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Be sure to see your doctor if you develop a worsening headache. A bleeding blood vessel might be causing the problem. Visit your doctor if your migraine headache is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, seizures, double vision, numbness, difficulty in speaking, and other unusual manifestations. Triptans are some of the most common prescription drugs used to treat migraines. They constrict blood vessels and block pain pathways to your brain to alleviate various symptoms of migraines. They are available in various forms—such as pills, nasal sprays, and injections—and the medications include:  Sumatriptan (Imitrex) Rizatriptan (Maxalt) Almotriptan (Axert) Naratriptan (Amerge) Zolmitriptan (Zomig) Frovatriptan (Frova) Eletriptan (Relpax) To deal directly with the nausea from your migraines, you can also ask your doctor about anti-nausea medications. He or she will likely prescribe one in combination with a...


Manipulate the reader but do not confuse them. Add a twist ending. Avoid cliches.

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

Readers can either be confused or scared, but not both. Deceiving or manipulating your readers through foreshadowing, shifting character traits, or a revelation of a plot point can all work to build suspense and create anxiety or fear in the reader.  Hint at the horrific climax of the story by providing small clues or details, such as the label on a bottle that will later come in handy for the main character, a sound or voice in a room that will later become an indication of an unnatural presence, or even a loaded gun in a pillow that may later go off or be used by the main character. Build tension by alternating from tense or bizarre moments to quiet moments where your character can take a breath in a scene, calm down, and feel safe again. Then, amp up the tension by re-engaging the character in the conflict and then making the conflict feel even more serious or threatening. In “The Moving Finger”, King does this by having Howard freak out about the finger, then have a relatively normal conversation with his wife while listening to Jeopardy and thinking about the finger, and then attempt to avoid the finger by going for a walk. Howard begins to feel safe or assured that the finger is not real, but of course, once he opens the bathroom door, the finger seems to have grown longer and is moving much faster than it was before. King slowly builds tension for both the character and the reader by introducing the threat and then having it overshadow the rest of the story. As readers, we know the finger is a sign of something bad or possibly evil, and are now in a position to watch Howard try to avoid, and then eventually confront this evil. A good twist in a horror story can make or break the story, so its important to create a twist ending that ties up many of the loose ends in the character’s conflict but still leaves one major question up in the air to tease the reader’s imagination.  While you want to create a satisfying ending for the reader, you also do not want to make it so closed and settled that the reader...


Manually check your heart rate (pulse). Check your pulse on your neck. Do NOT use your thumb to determine your heart rate. Understand a normal heart rate. Calculate your maximum heart rate. Find your target heart rate.

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

Place the tips of your first two fingers on your wrist, just below your thumb (palm up).  If you are feeling your pulse using your right hand, place your fingers below your thumb (palm up), on the side of your wrist near your thumb. Press softly and you should begin to feel a pulsing sensation. One pulse is equivalent to a heartbeat. Take a clock and count the number of times your heart beats in 20 seconds. Multiply that number by 3 – and that will be your heart rate. Another way to manually check your heart rate is to place your first two fingers on the side of your lower heck, on either side of your trachea.  You should begin to feel a pulse. It is often easier to feel your pulse in your neck, rather than in your wrist. Again, count the number of beats in 20 seconds, multiply that number by 3 – and that will be your heart rate. This is because you have a small artery that runs in your thumb. That may cause you to double count your pulse. Having a normal heart rate indicates good cardiovascular health, but some variation is perfectly natural.  Normal:  Pulse rate of 60-100 beats per minute while resting. Bradycardia:  A pulse rate below 60 beats per minute while resting. Causes of bradycardia include: certain medications that slow down the heart rate (e.g. beta-blockers, sedatives), heart failure. Athletes often have a heart rate below 60 at rest because their heart is in good shape, so each beat pumps more blood through their body (as opposed to having to beat more often and pump less blood with each beat). Tachycardia:  A pulse rate higher than 100 while resting.  Causes of tachycardia include anxiety, illness (running a fever may elevate your heart rate), some medications that can elevate your heart rate (such as thyroid hormone supplements), caffeine intake, and being out of shape and overweight. Your maximum heart rate is the highest number of beats per minute that your heart can beat. The following formula will allow you to calculate your heart rate: 220 – (your age in years) = Maximum Heart rate. Your...


Map directions to the park. Get to France. Follow your map or planned directions to the park.

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

Services like Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, or Mapquest will provide turn-by-turn directions and even guide you around traffic if your co-pilot operates while you drive. The parking lot is located on Boulevard de Parc, 77700 Coupvray, FR (48°52'33.9"N 2°47'47.3"E). From the UK, the Eurotunnel Shuttle will take you and your car from Folkestone to Calais. Alternately, there are ferries that run across the English channel, such as the P&O ferry from Dover to Calais. If you're trying to get to France through a different European country, there are a variety of highways on the E-road network that should be able to get you into the country. There are plenty of signs for the park on the Autoroute and E-road highways to guide you. From the north, take the A26 from Calais and change to the A4, following signs for "Metz/Nancy" if you don't see signs for the park. From the south, follow the motorway towards "Paris" and follow signs for Disneyland Paris.  Some French motorways are toll roads, so be prepared to pay the appropriate toll. Parking is free if you're staying at a Disneyland hotel, but will cost money if you're staying elsewhere.


Map out a training plan and schedule. Train with your friends. Build muscle in the weight room. Warm up before you run. Hit the track. Cool down.

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

If you have a particular race for which you wish to prepare, give yourself plenty of time to reach your goals. It may help to define what exactly those goals are. For instance, are you trying to improve your time by 10%, or are you more focused on perfecting your form?  By writing realistic and attainable goals on a calendar, you are more likely to stay on track with your training plan. Make sure that your training plan can be accommodated by your existing schedule. You are more likely to continue making progress toward your goals when training doesn’t become a chore, but is something that you enjoy. This can be a huge confidence builder, and a fun way to improve your sprinting. Training with a group or a partner helps you stay motivated when the going gets tough, and pushes you harder than you might push yourself alone. Being accountable to a group rather than just to yourself also makes it much more likely that you will achieve your goals. Sprinting requires quite a bit of power, so you’ll need to spend some time working on your strength and muscle. Spending time in the gym will help to break up your training schedule, and is a good alternative to running during inclement weather.  Try doing some bench presses (3 sets of 6 reps), barbell squats (3 sets of 6 reps), and some chin-ups (10 reps).  Yoga is another great option for building strength and improving balance. Start with a quick jog around the track to get your legs and body warmed up. This will loosen up your muscles to prevent pulling them.  Stretch out your legs and hips. Standing with your hands on your hips, try swinging each leg back and forth 25 times.  After 10 minutes of stretching, you should be warmed up enough to start working out. If you are a beginning sprinter, start at about 50% of your full speed until you feel comfortable, and you can gradually increase your speed from there. Run about 6-10 100-meter dashes, making sure to walk back slowly to the starting line in order to give your body a rest between .sprints If you are still...


Map out the central conflicts of your story. Decide your character or characters’ main goal or motivation. Establish the costs and benefits for your characters. Outline your plot points. Don’t feel pressured into a happy ending. Fill out your first draft.

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

Conflict is important in any story, even a comedy. Especially in a dramatic story, however, you must pay special attention to it. Nobody wants to read a drama where nothing’s at stake, because the emotional intensity would quickly flat-line. There are three dimensions of conflict: external-world conflict, external-personal conflict, and internal conflict. A comedy might make use of as few as one of these dimensions, but a dramatic story must make use of all three.  External-world conflict is a problem external to the main character(s) — something beyond their control. It can be as grand in scale as a war, or as small and domestic as a character’s parents getting divorced. External-personal conflict is a conflict between your characters. Examples might be two characters fighting over a common romantic interest, or two politicians going head-to-head in a political campaign. Internal conflict is a character’s struggle to overcome their greatest personal weakness. For example, a character might have to overcome their fear of commitment to find happiness in a relationship, or overcome their arrogance to succeed in their career. Because the success of your dramatic story relies so heavily on the reader's engagement with your conflicts, it's important that you map out your conflicts during the brainstorming process, before you begin drafting. You may be tempted to describe your story in terms of “what it’s about,” but it will be more effective if you describe it to yourself in terms of “what your character wants.” This will keep you in your reader's mindset: in a drama, the reader wants your main character to find success and happiness. By concentrating on your character's goal or motivation, you will focus on ideas and details that will make your reader more invested in your story.  Your story might have a very clear and explicit goal, such as “to leave behind an impoverished past by getting into an Ivy League college,” or your character’s motivation might be less defined — to cope after the death of a spouse, for...


Map out what you want to say. Create visual aids to emphasize key points. Interact with your audience.

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

To communicate clearly with a large group, you need a plan for what to say, unlike when you are having an informal talk with a few people. Otherwise, you will risk losing the attention of your listeners. Plan out: The key points you want to emphasize. For instance, if you are introducing your company’s new 3-point sales strategy, plan to get slightly louder when you mention each point for the first time. Moments when you might want to slow down (such as to introduce new or complicated information). Natural places in your talk when you can pause, such as after introducing each point of a three-point sales strategy. This gives time for the information to sink in. Put together a simple slideshow. Use the slideshow as a way to emphasize key points, not to explain them in detail. Otherwise your audience will just look at the slides instead of paying attention to what you are saying. Use only a small amount of text or visual material per slide. For instance, if you are outlining three goals for your organization’s upcoming year, make a slide that says “Goal 1: Boost membership 10%.” That is enough information to remind the audience of the point you want to make, but not so much that they will stop paying attention. Include pauses in your presentation, asking and encouraging people to ask for questions, if they need clarification on any of the presentation. You can also address people in the audience directly, either by name or by looking them in the eye. This helps make the presentation more engaging, holds the audience’s attention, and increases the amount of information they take away from your talk.


Map your driving route. Determine the cost of your trip.

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

The car trip from L.A. to New York is about 2,788 miles (4,486.85 kilometers), and will take approximately 43 hours of driving time, which may vary depending on the exact route you take. Refer to a road atlas or use websites such as Google Maps or Mapquest to determine your preferred route. Many travelers driving from L.A. to New York will take Interstate 40 East, which will require you to pass through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Missouri, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and various other states. You will be required to calculate the cost of gas and the added expenses of food or hotels you may use throughout your trip to New York. Calculate the money you will need for gas based on your vehicle's miles per gallon (MPG). If your vehicle has 20 MPG, your gas expenses may total at least 300 dollars (224 euros), depending on current gas prices.


Marinade roast beforehand to braise sauerbraten. Use sliced bottom round to make braised swiss steak. Make carbonade flamande. Make the ultimate comfort food with beef bourguignon.

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

A German variation on a basic braised beef, sauerbraten involves marinating a browned round roast in a mixture of vinegar and aromatic spices for up to three days before adding sugar and braising the beef in the marinade.   For the marinade, heat a cup of apple cider vinegar and red wine vinegar in a saucepan, with about two cups of water, over medium-high heat. To this, add one small chopped white onion and a half cup each of chopped carrot and celery. Toss in a teaspoon each of mustard seeds and whole clove, 2-3 bay leaves, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes while you brown the roast. After about 10 minutes, turn it off and let it cool to room temperature.  Brown the roast in olive oil before removing and placing in a pot suitable for holding the meat and all the marinade. When the marinade has cooled slightly (you don't want it to cook the meat) pour it over the beef and let it sit in the refrigerator for about three days, turning it once a day to make sure the meat is equally submerged.  After three days, braise in the oven at 325 F for about four hours after adding about a third of a cup of sugar to the marinading liquid. After braising, crushed-up gingersnaps and raisins are commonly whisked into the juice to thicken and add sweetness to the sauce, which is then poured over the sauerbraten. While it has absolutely nothing to do with Switzerland, swiss steak involves the "swishing" process, by which one flattens fabric (in this case meat) with rollers or hammers. The tough meat is then braised in a rich sauce made from tomatoes, until fork-tender and delicious. Combined with mashed potatoes and fresh corn, there's nothing better than a properly cooked swiss steak.   To prepare the meat, cut round roast along the grain to form steaks roughly one half inch thick. Dredge each steak in flour, then pound out with a meat tenderizer until the steak flattens by half. Dredge the steaks again in flour and brown them on the skillet, over medium-heat in your dutch oven, or other...


Marinate the chicken. Heat the bacon and olive oil. Fry the chicken pieces. Cook the garlic and onions. Add the tomatoes. Add the fish sauce, water, and bay leaves. Let simmer. Add the potatoes and carrots. Add the bell peppers. Toss in the peas and bacon pieces. Serve hot.

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

Combine the soy sauce and black pepper in a large glass dish. Place the chicken pieces in the marinade and cover with plastic wrap. Let soak in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.  Use a glass or plastic dish. Do not use a metal dish to marinate the chicken. If you do not have a large glass or plastic dish, you could also combine the marinade and chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Try to use a freezer bag or a marinade bag, since either option will be durable enough to hold the heavy chicken without developing leaks. While chicken thighs and drumsticks are preferable for this recipe, you could also use a whole chicken cut into pieces. Keep the skin on and the bones in. Just be aware that white meat can cook faster than dark meat. Pour the olive oil into a large Dutch oven and add the bacon pieces. Cook the bacon on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until it becomes brown and crispy.  Remove the bacon pieces and transfer them to a plate. Set aside and keep warm. You need to let the bacon render its fat. This will give the dish more flavor. If you do not have bacon or would prefer not to use it, you could double the amount of oil you use, instead, and leave the bacon out entirely. If you do not have a Dutch oven, you could also use a large, heavy stockpot with deep sides. Remove the chicken pieces from the soy sauce marinade. Add them to the hot oil and fry for 4 to 8 minutes, or until well-browned on all sides.  Let the excess marinade drain from the chicken before you add it to the hot oil. Dispose of the marinade after removing the chicken. Do not attempt to reuse it, since marinades holding raw meat can become tainted with hazardous bacteria. Turn the chicken pieces periodically using tongs to ensure that all sides are evenly browned. Once browned, transfer the chicken to another plate. Set it aside and keep warm. Add the chopped garlic and onions to the oil in the Dutch oven. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and both ingredients become more fragrant.  Stir the onion and garlic...


Mark 2 feet (0.61 m) from the top on both sides of each post. Hammer nails halfway into the posts. Rest 2 by 10 feet (0.61 m × 3.05 m) cross beams on top of the nails. Screw or bolt the cross beams to the posts. Remove the nails that you used to steady the crossbeams. Lay 8 rafters across the cross beams. Hammer one nail into each end of each rafter. Nail 8 top slats into the rafters.

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

Draw an X in the center of both sides of each post. Mark the side that is pointing inward, towards your pergola. Then make another X on the opposite side of the post. These markings will give your cross beams something to rest on as you nail them in. Make these markings on all four posts. The nails you use should be 4 inches (10 cm) long. Place the nails where you made your marks. These nails will temporarily hold up the girders or cross beams that will run horizontally across your pergola. Drive the nail halfway in on each side of all 4 posts. Use the nails to hold your cross beams in place and keep them level. Each post should have 2 sets of cross beams on opposite sides of the post. Place a level on top of the cross beams to make sure that they are level, then clamp them to your foundation posts to hold them in place. Screw the cross beams into the posts with bolts or 4 inches (10 cm) screws. Place 2 screws on each end of the cross beam to secure them tightly. Your pergola should now have 2 cross beams running parallel to each other on each side of the structure.  If the beams aren't level, remove the nail and adjust their placement. You can make slightly angled cuts on the end of your cross beams and rafters to give your pergola a more customized look. Use the back of the hammer to pull out the nails that you used to steady your cross beams. They should stay in place if you screwed them into your foundation posts properly. Your rafters should be the same size as your cross beams, or 2 by 10 feet (0.61 m × 3.05 m). Arrange the rafters so that they lay perpendicular to your cross beams. Each rafter should be spaced 1 foot (0.30 m) away from the next rafter. Configure the rafters onto the cross beams so that they look how you want. You can add more rafters and space them closer together, or add fewer rafters and space them further apart. You'll want to use nails that are at least 4 inches (10 cm) long. Angle your nail so that it goes through the side of the rafter and down into the crossbeam. Do this once on...


Mark a glider body shape in cardboard.

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

Find a piece of cardboard. Using a pen or pencil, draw a plane body shape in the cardboard. The exact shape is up to you, but it should have a tail and a head. Use this image to give you a basic idea of what kind of shape you should make.  Rounded shapes work better than angular ones. You can use another stiff paper material like cardstock as well.


Mark a piece of folded fabric along the sides of the teddy bear. Cut out 2 straps from an old canvas or fabric bag.

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

Fold a piece of fabric in half and smooth it out to ensure there are no lumps or bumps. Lay your teddy bear on the fabric and mark the fabric on both sides of the teddy bear under the armpits and next to its waist.The fabric needs to go at least halfway up the sides of the teddy bear’s waist. Remove the teddy bear and connect these 4 dots with a piece of chalk or fabric marker to form a rectangle.  If you want to create a specific kind of teddy bear shirt, use a pattern instead. You can purchase teddy bear clothing patterns in a craft supply store or find free patterns online.  Keep in mind that getting the right fit may be more complex depending on the shape of the bear’s body. You can use any type of fabric that you want to make a teddy bear shirt. The straps off of an old canvas shopping bag or fabric purse will work well as straps for your teddy bear’s shirt. Depending on the thickness of the straps, the shirt may look like a tank top or a t-shirt. Measure the distance from the top of your teddy bear’s chest, then over the shoulder to the same location on its back. Add 1 in (2.5 cm) for the seam allowance. Cut out 2 straps to the desired length.  Use a soft tape measure to find the desired strap length. You can also substitute ribbon for the shirt straps.


Mark everything you have to sell with the selling price, but not too high. Get some change a few days before the sale so that you have it on hand for the day of your sale. Make sure your items look presentable. Check all CDs and video games. Set up your tables and sort the clothes, CDs and books and whatever else you have to sell. Increase the number of sales you make to each customer. Keep your pets away from the yard sale.

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

Be sure to have coins for customer change.  Most people arrive early with $10's and $20's, just make sure you have coins as well as $1's and $5's for the customer's change. Make sure you have somewhere safe to put your money. Get a box with a lock. Each of you should have your own box. If you want to sell an old bikes, try to clean it up a little bit. Nobody wants to buy or even touch items that are dirty and covered with mud. Check every item and make sure that they are clean. If you are selling any CDs or video games, make sure they work. If your CD skips a lot, it is not recommend to sell this item at your yard sale. Same for videos games. Have a radio outside so your customers can check the quality of the CDs. Be sure to have bags, boxes and extra newspapers for packing items. Each friend should have their own things on their own table, so that they know how much money they are making. Make your yard sale look very presentable by having clothes racks for clothes and such so it doesn't look like you're selling a bunch of junk. Instead of just selling your old stuff, sell cups of coffee, lemonade, bottled water, too. You can also make a few new craft items, such as friendship bracelets. Many people are scared of pets or have allergies. Keep your pets inside the house or put them in the backyard. Ask your neighbor or friends to watch your pet while you have the garage sale.


Mark for screw holes. Drill pilot holes. Attach the sockets. Adjust the length of the rod. Insert the rod.

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

In order to attach the sockets to the wall, first hold them up and mark the screw holes with a pencil. The socket that is a solid circle can be placed in any position, but the one that has an open side cannot. You need to make sure that the open section is facing straight up. Once you are holding the socket in the proper position on the wall, mark the inside of the screw holes with a pen or pencil. Then you can take the socket off the wall. Use a 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) drill bit to put holes into the surface-mounted wood or the studs where you have made your marks. Drilling pilot holes will help prevent the wood from splitting when you attach the screws. Before drilling your holes, look at the length of your screws. You only need to drill the holes this deep. Once the pilot holes are drilled, you can place the sockets on the wall, positioning them one at a time on top of the pilot holes. Then attach them with the screws you purchased. Make sure that the screws are completely inserted. If the heads stick out at all, it could impact your ability to get the rod into place. If you have a rod that needs to be cut down, do that now. Double check the length you need and then use a saw to cut the rod. If the rod you bought is adjustable, adjust it to the correct length following the included instructions. Be sure to double check your measurement before cutting the closet rod. If you accidentally cut the rod too short, it will be useless and you will have to purchase another one. How you insert the rod depends on what type of sockets you have purchased. However, with the most common kind you simply insert one end of the bar into the socket that is a solid circle and then drop the other end of the bar into the opening of the socket that has an open side. Once the rod is in place, make sure it feels secure by pulling down on it a little. If it feels strong, you can start to hang your clothes up!


Mark references with footnotes or endnotes. List the name of the presenter or author. Cite the lecture if the PowerPoint presentation was shown live. Write the type of digital medium used and the date it was created.

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

MLA style uses either footnotes or endnotes to present bibliographic information about sources that are referenced in a paper or project. If you select the footnote option, mark the actual point in your writing where you refer to the PowerPoint presentation with a number in superscript and write the full citation at the bottom of the page. If you choose to use endnotes, write the full citations in an alphabetical "Works Cited" list at the end of the paper. For example: "It has been stated that electronics have hindered man's relationship with nature.1" If you see a PowerPoint presentation at a conference or lecture, start by citing the name of the presenter. Write the individual's last name first, followed by a comma and then their first name. If you are citing a digital PowerPoint presentation file, write the name of its author. For instance, "Smith, John." If the PowerPoint presentation you wish to cite was part of a conference or lecture, include information about the event itself. List the name of the event, the venue, the city it was held in, as well as the date. Note what type of lecture it was. For instance: Smith, John. "Sensitivity and Social Media." Today's Social Networks. Thomson Auditorium. Hamilton. Jan. 23, 2016. Keynote address. If you are citing a PowerPoint file that you viewed on your computer, cite the date it was created where you would write the event information for a live presentation. This information should follow the author's name and the title of the file. Instead of indicating the type of lecture you saw, write what type of digital medium it is.  When you write the date, abbreviate the month by writing its first three letters, followed by a period. For example, you would write: "Smith, John. "Sensitivity and Social Media." Jan. 2016. PowerPoint presentation."


Mark screw locations on the wall with a felt-tip marker. Drill holes that are slightly smaller than the included screws. Drill larger holes and insert wall anchors for added stability.

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

Once you’ve used a pencil to mark on your wall where the brackets will be located, you can mark the exact screw locations with a felt-tip marker. Hold the bracket up in the position you outlined in pencil. Then, poke the tip of the marker through the screw hole to make a mark on the wall behind the bracket. Remove the bracket, and you’re ready to drill. If you’re not using wall anchors to hold the screws in drywall, select a drill bit that's slightly smaller than the screws. Drill 4 holes straight into the bathroom wall, directly over each mark you made with the felt-tipped marker. Drill each hole so that it’s slightly less deep than the screw. For example, if the screws are each 2 inches (5.1 cm) long, drill the hole 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) deep.  To select the correct drill bit size, pick up one of the 4 screws included with the toilet paper holder, and compare it with small drill bits. Select a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the width of the screw. Before you drill, check to make sure that you’re holding the drill perfectly straight both horizontally (left to right) and vertically (up and down). Crouch down so you can look straight at the drill if necessary. Select a drill bit that’s the same size as the broadest point of the wall anchor, and drill a hole at each of the 4 locations that you identified in marker. Make the hole as deep as the wall anchor is long. Then, firmly insert each anchor into a hole. Use a hammer to tap the anchors in place if needed. You can now use the wall anchors to screw the brackets into place.  If you’re installing the toilet paper holder on drywall (and can’t attach it to a stud), install wall screw anchors to prevent the toilet paper holder from ripping out of the drywall. Plastic screw anchors are often included with new toilet paper holders. If not, you can purchase wall anchors at any local hardware store. They look like small plastic cones, and can be found in the hardware stores’ “Drywall” section.


Mark the center of the hexagon. Draw a line from the center point to a vertex. Draw lines from the center point to the third and fifth vertices. Identify the three equal parts.

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

If the center is not marked, you can locate it using a straightedge. Draw a line (diagonal), connecting any vertex to the opposite vertex. Draw a second diagonal connecting to different vertices. The intersection of these diagonals is the center point of the hexagon. Erase the diagonals after you draw them. You can begin with any vertex. Use a straightedge to draw the line. You should skip every other vertex, so that you have three lines, with one vertex between each. Drawing a line to each vertex creates six equilateral triangles, which is six equal areas. By drawing a line to every other vertex, you create half as many equal areas (3 equal areas). Each part is a rhombus, which is a four-sided figure with equal side lengths and two sets of parallel sides.


Mark the days on a calendar. Download an app on your phone. Use an online calendar.

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

If you would like to track your period the old-fashioned way, obtain a calendar and mark the days with pencil, pen, marker, or highlighter. You may use different colors, symbols, or stickers to mark the beginning and end of your cycle, the length of your period, or the days you experience physical or emotional symptoms. Create a system that is clear and works for you.  If you do not want to overload your calendar with too much information, you can keep a separate journal for your physical and emotional symptoms and only use the calendar to mark the beginning and end of your cycle and period. If you don't use a calendar often, keep your calendar in a place you will remember it. Hanging the calendar in your bathroom or placing it next to a mirror may be helpful If you are a very private individual and don't like your period info out for the world to see, use a very discrete mark (e.g. an "x," circle, or color) signifying the event to you. Instead of using pen and paper, you can use an app to track your period. These apps can keep all of your information at your fingertips and predict when your period will occur. In addition to having a calendar, many of these apps allow you to record physical and emotional changes that take place throughout your cycle.  Clue is a free app for iPhone and Android phones and is one of the most recommended apps. It allows you to record physical and emotional symptoms, the days you have sex, and create reminders to take your birth control pills. After entering a few months of data, the app will use algorithms to predict when your next period starts and when you are expected to ovulate. Period Tracker Lite is another free recommended period tracking app. This app allows you to use icons to describe your moods instead of typing out your symptoms. It is available for both iPhone and Android phones. If paper and pen or apps do not appeal to you, you can use an online tracker. These websites allow you to enter all of your cycle information and often have tools such as calendars, history...


Mark the first entry. Start writing about your day. Let loose! Explain your relationships with people. Keep writing. Sign off.

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

Log the date at the top of the page so that you'll know when you wrote the entry. Consider giving your entry a title, like "Captain's Log," or addressing it with something like, "Dear Diary." Include where you are and how you are feeling: e.g. "8/12/2016: on the bus, feeling nervous." If you're going somewhere, include where you're going. You will probably read back over this diary at some point in the future – so give your future self a few points of reference to jog your memory. Don't think too much about what to say. Start by writing about your morning, or about whatever first comes to mind. Write about the most exciting thing that happened today. Write about your friends, or your classes, or your crush.  Write about the person you've been thinking about lately. Write about what this person said to you, and about what someone else told you about him/her. Write about what you think about this person. Write about what is making you happy. Write about what is making you sad. Write a story. The diary doesn't even have to be about you! Make up a character and write the first page of his or her diary. Pretend that you are writing this to a close friend, or to someone that you trust a lot. Your diary is your space to write about everything that you are thinking, good and bad. Don't worry too much about what you write. The important thing is that you start writing. In the first entry, when you mention people, write what relationship you have with them. Are they your best friend, worst enemy, or crush? This way, when you read back over your diary in years to come, you'll know what all of these people meant to you at this point in your life. Just write down whatever comes to mind, no matter how silly it sounds. Filling your diary isn't about making everything sound perfect. It's about getting out all of the words that are inside of you!  If you can't think of anything to write, then write about how weird it is to be writing about yourself. Write about why you can't think of anything. Write about why you want to keep...


Mark the orientation of the bushing. Remove the bushing with a hydraulic press. Use a threaded press to remove the bushing. Remove the bushing manually by striking it out with a hammer. Push out the excess rubber using a socket. Place the new bushing in the control arm. Use a hydraulic press to secure the new bushing.

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

The bushing will have two places where the rubber casing attaches to the outer metal ring. Mark these two places with a permanent marker on the control arm. This will help you replace the bushing in the right direction. This is the easiest way to remove the bushing. Place the bushing part of the arm into the hydraulic press and activate the press. Listen closely, as there will be a popping noise as the bushing moves, and the arm will become loose when the bushing is completely out. Be careful not to damage the control arm by applying too much pressure with the press. This is a less effective method than a hydraulic press, but can still remove the bushing with some force. A ball joint press, or threaded press, will have a cup that matches the size of the bushing. Set up a driver that has the same diameter as the outer shell of the bushing, and use a wrench to operate the screw-jack to push the bushing out of the control arm. This is the most difficult and least effective method for removing the bushing, but if you don’t have a hydraulic or threaded press it will work with some patience. Be careful not to hit the control arm, focusing each strike on the bushing until it flattens enough to be slid out. You will need a hydraulic press to install the new bushing, so you might be better off waiting until you have access to one. You should be able to do this by hand without any problems. You’ll need to remove the rubber before you can install the new bushing. Use a socket that fits into the bushing, and push the rubber out. If the rubber is stuck, try separating it from the sides of the control arm using a flathead screwdriver. Make sure it’s facing the same direction as the previous bushing, using the flex part of the bushing as the point of reference. It might be a snug fit, so you will need to press a bit to get it into the control arm. Don’t apply lubrication to the bushing to get it into the arm, as this can cause it to slide out while in use. You will need access to a hydraulic press to replace the new...


Mark the unwanted emails from particular websites or people. Click the Spam link along the left side of any Gmail page. Select the messages you'd like to delete and click Delete forever.

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

(If you don't see Spam along the left side of your Gmail page, click the More drop-down menu at the bottom of your labels list.) Or, delete everything by clicking Delete all spam messages now. Gmail will learn that some messages are spam and treat them as such in future. However, it doesn't always get it right; unopened emails that you have been meaning to get around to but then delete in a clean-up without actually wanting to unsubscribe can end up being treated as spam. You'll need to retrieve such emails from the Spam folder so that Gmail learns to leave them alone again.


Mark up the text. Write a few sentences of summary at the bottom of each page. Write down questions that you have about what you read. Write your reaction.

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

Write questions in the margin, underline things you think are interesting, highlight important concepts or ideas. Don't be afraid to make lots of marks on your text as you read. Some readers find that holding a pencil or highlighter makes them a more active reader, giving them something to "do" while doing the task. See if it works for you.  Don't underline or highlight too much, and definitely don't highlight random passages because you think it's expected. It won't help you to go back through and study if you've just highlighted randomly, and it'll make your text a lot more difficult to go back through. Make a character or plot map to help you follow along with your reading and to help you study later. This really helps with with visual learners. If you're reading something difficult and find yourself often wanting to go back to get something you missed, start taking it one page at a time. At the end of each page, or even at the end of each paragraph, write a brief summary of what happened on that page. This'll break up the reading and allow you to go through it with much more careful attention. If you find something confusing, or you notice something that's giving you difficulty, always write it down. This might give you a good question to ask later in class, or give you something to think more about as you continue reading. When you finish reading, immediately start writing down your reactions to the story, the book, or the chapter from the book you needed to read. Write about what seems important, what you think the purpose of the writing was, and how it made you feel as a reader.  You don't need to summarize it for a response, but you might find it helpful to summarize in general if it will help you remember what you've read more. Don't write whether or not you liked the story, or whether you thought it was "boring." Instead, focus on how it made you feel. Your first response might be, "I didn't like this story, because Juliet dies at the end," but think about why you feel that way. Why would it have...


Mark where you want the sequins. Place glue on the sequins. Position the sequin. Repeat until all sequins have been added. Wear or use the newly-sequined item.

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

Decide where you want to position the sequins on the clothing or fabric. Take tailor's chalk or an invisible fabric marker and make light dots where you'd like to put the individual sequins. Invisible fabric markers will wash off in the laundry, can be dry cleaned, or can be rubbed off easily.  Make sure you think about what sort of design you'd like before you draw over the fabric. Lightly press the tailor's chalk onto the fabric so that you don't break the edge for future projects. If you're using a hot glue gun, place a small dab of glue to the back of the sequin. You should use hot glue if you're planning on washing the material and wearing it often. Hot glue may also do better at preventing the sequins from popping off later. Take care not to burn yourself or place glue on the fabric itself. You could also use fabric or tacky glue if you want to apply jewels to a project that won't be handled roughly or washed.  Avoid using white school glue since it becomes brittle when it dries. This can cause the sequins to pop off. Flat sequins don't have a designated front and back, although cupped sequins should be glued on the flat side. This will allow it to catch and reflect more light.  If you find it hard to glue sequins with your fingers (for example, your fingers feel a little too sticky), use a toothpick, pencil, or tweezers to lift and place the sequins. Line up the sequin on the mark that you made and gently press it into place so that the glue doesn't squeeze out the sides. place gently. Hold the sequin in place if you're using hot glue. This will help it set. Otherwise, leave the garment or fabric to lay flat until the glue dries.  Most tacky or fabric glues should dry within 15 to 30 seconds. The glue should be completely hardened before you use or wear the fabric. Let it dry longer if it still feels tacky or sticky. Continue to glue down all of your sequins and make sure they're in the same direction if you're using cupped sequins. Run your hands gently over the sequins to get them to shine in one...


Mark your cable for cutting. Bend the cable at the mark. Place a saw blade at a 45-degree angle to the armor and begin sawing. Rotate the cable so you can cut through the other side. Remove the excess armor. Remove the jagged edges of the remaining armor.

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

It's best to measure your cable a few times. Make sure you're sure about how much length you need. Then mark where you want to cut the armor. Place your hands on either side of the mark you made. Then push down on either side of the mark, creating a bend in the armor at the mark. As you bend the cable, the armor should pop open. You should place the saw blade on the armor where it's beginning to pop up. Then gently pull the blade back and forth across the armor until it just cuts through. Be careful not to cut through the wires. Once you've sawed through the armor on 1 side, flip the cable over. Then saw through the armor on the other side, being careful not to cut through the wires. Once you've cut completely through the armor, you'll have excess armor to the right of your cut. Slide the excess armor off, exposing the wires. Using a metal file, gently sand down the edge of the armor where you made the cut.  This will help you prevent injury when you're installing the cable or making repairs.


Mark your calendar. Listen attentively to her. Pay attention when she's around her friends. Ask her what she wants. Poke around on her Pinterest. Address the state of your union.

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

You can’t give your girlfriend an unforgettable birthday if you forget her birthday. If you don’t know it, ask her. Proper birthday planning doesn’t happen the night before, and you’ll never even know it’s the night before if you don’t ask. You want advance warning for the preparations you should undertake. This should go without saying when it comes to maintaining a healthy relationship and being a functional conversationalist for your partner, but double down when her birthday draws near. The most obvious of hints will be missed without effort.   While you’re shopping together, guess what! She will talk about things she likes. Start a list using the notes function on your smartphone, or keep a small notebook in your bookbag (do be discrete when writing in it, though). Hints can come while you’re both vegging out on the couch idly surfing the web or halfway-watching Netflix. If she’s got her iPad or phone open, keep an ear out for stray comments with gift potential. This extends out of the realm of gifts, as well. Only by actively listening could you know, for example, that your girlfriend hates surprise parties because she was savagely ridiculed by her best friends at one in the tenth grade about the print of her pajamas and it would be a terrible idea to plan such a thing for her today. Don’t assume she will like something because you like something. Even if it's just a few of you hanging around during lunch, she's more inclined to speak freely about interests of hers that she thinks you're not interested in hearing about. Don't let these freely given gift ideas (or opinions which could warn you away from bad gift ideas) go to waste! She is, of course, under no obligation to directly tell you what she wants, but simply asking is a straightforward solution which can leave both parties happier.  If she says she doesn’t want anything, it doesn’t mean “literally don’t do anything.” Small gestures like cooking dinner, or crafts which commemorate your time together can be appreciated even if she doesn’t want a...


Mark your placement and drill a guide hole. Select the bit to make your hollow. Use a woodworking bit to drill the hollow. Drill multiple holes for quicker chiseling.

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

This technique is only useful for making circular shaped hollows. Mark the position of your hollow on the wood with a pencil. At this point, use a normal drill bit to drill a shallow hole into the wood.  Your guide hole only needs to break the surface of the wood to work effectively. Keep guide holes as shallow as possible. With softer or unfinished woods, you may not need a guide hole. However, these take little time to drill and will decrease the chances of chipping and cracking. Spade bits come in different sizes, allowing you a pretty wide range for your hollow. Flat bottomed, precise hollows can be made with a Forstner bit. Larger hollows will be made most easily with a hole saw. You'll have to use your best judgement to choose the bit right for your hollowing project. Choose your bit according to your project's needs. Switch out your normal drill bit for the one you chose to make your hollow. Position the bit at the guide hole so the bit forms an L-shape with the wood. Apply moderate pressure to the drill and press its trigger to bore a circular hole in the wood.  Drilling in this fashion can kick up sawdust. Wear safety googles when using your drill, and consider using a breathing mask if you have sensitive lungs.  You won't be able to gauge the depth of this technique very accurately. Keep a careful eye on the depth of the bit as you drill. To make it easier to determine depth, hold the drill to the side of the wood at your chosen depth. Use a piece of tape to mark the bit. When the tape reaches the wood, you've reached the right depth. When hollowing out large areas, use a normal drill bit to drill several holes through the area you'll be hollowing. These holes will make chiseling much easier and more precise, but it can be difficult to maintain even depth with this method. This is another time where you can use a piece of tape to improve depth consistency; mark the desired depth of your hollow on your drill bit with the tape.


Market your new store. Associate with fellow bibliophiles. Deliver a special experience for your customers.

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

There are a number of strategies that you can employ to get the word out about your new store. Begin by developing a marketing plan. Determine how much you want to spend on marketing, how exactly you want to market and who you want to market to. Your marketing strategy should reflect the marketing research you did earlier.  You may want to create business cards or flyers to highlight your new business. Develop an internet presence. Even if you are opening a traditional used bookstore you will want to have a website where people can learn about your store and what it offers. Get your store on social media. Try facebook, twitter, google plus, and more. Talk to friends who own their own business and find out how they market their stores. It can be very advantageous to frequent book fairs. Get on book fair mailing lists to stay informed of where they are held. When one is in your area set up a booth. A booth will help get word of your store out to potential customers. Do a quick internet search for upcoming book fairs in your region. Attend them all! Nothing is better than word of mouth. Do your absolute best to make your customer feel valued and appreciated. Go out of your way to cater to their demands. By doing this you stand a good chance of gaining a repeat customer and of that customer referring a friend.  Offer incentives for customers who come back. A 'thank you' goes a long way!


Market your product to a specific niche. Show the story of your product's development. Create interest in your product. Create a backer reward system. Update backers on your progress.

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

To be successful, your product must be targeted towards to a particular group of customers, maybe people who enjoy a certain hobby or work in a particular field. Identify who these people are and tailor your campaign to them. The most successful crowdfunding campaigns include a video that shows exactly where the idea for the product came from, how it is being developed, and who is working on it. In other words, backers need a story in addition to a great product. However, you should also be sure to quickly introduce your product and exactly what is does so that you don't lose your potential backers' attention. You can then include an expanded version of the information in the video, complete with diagrams and pictures, further down the fundraising page. Contact relevant blogs, websites, or magazines that may be interested in showing your product to readers and see if you can get an article published with them. Make sure to explain how your product connects with what they specialize in and describe exactly what it is and how it will be used. You should offer backers of different amounts different types of products or rewards in exchange for their donation. This can be used in many different ways. For example, you might choose to do a limited, early backer special that offers the finished product at an earlier date/lower price than the general release. You can also offer high or low backer level rewards, like a sticker or special thanks to backers who don't donate enough to get your product and a trip to your headquarters or a customized product to those donors who give above and beyond the standard amount. Keep your backers informed of any progress or setbacks that you experience during and after funding. It's important to let them know that their money is actually being used for what they paid for. Make regular reports through your crowdfunding platform and also make sure they are posted on the fundraising page.


Market your program. Host your program on your website. Set up a support service. Keep your product up to date.

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

If you want to get users, you'll want to make sure that they know your program exists. Just like any product, you'll need to do a bit of advertising in order to make people aware. The extent and depth of your marketing campaign will be dictated by your program's function as well as your available budget. Some easy ways to raise awareness of you program include:  Posting about your program on related message boards. Make sure that you follow the posting rules of whichever forum you choose so that your posts don't get marked as spam. Send out press releases to tech sites. Find some tech blogs and sites that fit your program's genre. Send the editors a press release detailing your program and what it does. Include a few screenshots. Make some YouTube videos. If your program is designed to complete a specific task, make some YouTube videos showing your program in action. Structure them as "How-To" videos. Create social media pages. You can create free Facebook and Google+ pages for your program, and can use Twitter for both company and program-specific news. For small programs, you can most likely host the file on your own website. You may want to include a payment system if you are going to be charging for your software. If your program becomes very popular, you may need to host the file on a server that can handle more downloads. Once your program is released in the wild, you will invariably have users with technical problems or who don't understand how the program works. Your website should have thorough documentation available, as well as some sort of support service. This can include a technical support forum, a support email, live help, or any combination of those. What you can provide will be dependent on your available budget. Almost all programs these days are patched and updated long after their initial release. These patches may fix critical or non-critical bugs, update security protocols, improve stability, or even add functionality or redo the aesthetics. Keeping your program updated will help keep...


Market yourself in local newspapers. Put up flyers. Make business cards. Perform in public.

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

Newspapers, both online and in print, can be a valuable source of business. Find your local classifieds, and buy an ad advertising your services as a singer. If you are offering a particular type of singing, you can look for a trade magazine. For example, if you are a wedding singer you can advertise in bridal magazines. If you sing children’s songs, you can advertise through a parenting magazine. Locate local clubs, coffee shops, venues, and other areas where potential clients might gather. Ask these businesses if you can hang a flyer advertising your services. Your flyers should identify you as a singer and provide your contact information, such as your phone number, email, and website. Create your own cards that list your name, contact information, and services. Keep these on you at all times. If you run into someone who might be interested in your services, hand them your card. The best way to gain visibility is to perform in public. Many singers are hired based on these performances. There are many ways you can perform for free without having to audition. These include:  Open mic nights Singing contests Busking and street performances


Marry your best friend. Wait until you are at least 20 years old. Deal with issues before you get married.

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

Married people are typically happier and more satisfied in life. If you are best friends with your partner, marriage will have an even greater impact on how satisfied you are with your life. Friendship is the foundation of a good marriage.  Are you and your partner truly friends? A good friend is supportive, loyal, dependable, and accepts you for the person you are. You can be yourself around the person without fear of judgement. If you are a teenager and considering marriage, it is best to wait until you are older to get married. The older you are, the more life experience and wisdom you have. This knowledge can help you have a better marriage.  If you get married before you are 20 years old, you greatly decrease your chances of staying married for a long time.  If you are a woman, waiting until you are at least 25 years old when you get married decreases your chances of getting divorced or separated during the first 10 years of marriage. The same issues that you and your partner have before marriage will continue once you get married. Marriage is not a problem fixer. Both you and your partner should write down the strengths and weaknesses of your relationship and then discuss the ways you can work on those weaknesses together.  If there are issues that cannot be worked out, it is best to postpone any marriage plans. Premarital counseling is a great resource that can help prepare you for marriage. This type of therapy helps you assess your relationship and address any concerns.


Mash a banana and rub it on your feet. Mix lemon juice, olive oil, and brown sugar. Apply a crushed aspirin mixture to your feet.

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

Make sure you use bananas that are as ripe as possible, almost to the point of being too ripe to eat. Place one or two bananas in a bowl. Use a fork or masher to mash then into a smooth paste. Apply to feet and leave it for about 20 minutes. Then rinse your feet clean. Make sure you keep your feet off of the ground and furniture. Try propping them up on a footrest for the duration. It might also be smart to have a small tub of water handy so you can easily wash them off when you are done. Combine 1 tbsp (14.8 ml) of lemon juice (about half of a fresh lemon), with 2 tbsp (29.6 ml) of olive oil and 2 tbsp (29.6 ml) of brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until a paste forms. Massage onto feet for 2-3 minutes and then let it remain on your feet for 15 minutes. Rinse the mixture off of your feet.  For continuing soft feet, perform this ritual on a weekly basis. Make sure you sit somewhere comfortable where you can keep your feet propped up for the whole time. Crush 5-6 non-coated aspirin with a mortar and pestle, if you have one, or in a small zip style bag with the back of a spoon. Pour the aspirin powder into a bowl and add ½ tsp (2.5 ml) of water and ½ tsp (2.5 ml) of lemon juice. Mix together. Apply to feet and let it stay there for about 10 minutes. Rinse clean.  The mixture may want to run off of your feet, so consider wrapping a warm towel around each foot to help keep the mixture in place. Once your feet are rinsed clean, you can gently buff each foot with a pumice stone for dead skin removal.


Mash a peeled banana in a bowl with a fork. Apply the mixture all over your face using your fingers. Wait 10 to 15 minutes. Wash the mixture off using warm water and a soft face cloth. Use the remaining mask within 3 days.

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

This will make enough banana facial to last you a few days. Take care to avoid the sensitive area around the eyes. If you have any leftovers, place them into a jar, and refrigerate them. During this time, the nutrients in the banana will soothe and nourish your skin. While you wait, try to keep your head upright, so that the mask doesn't slide off. If necessary, use a gentle face cleaner. When you are done, splash your face with cool water, to seal the pores. Pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel. As you continue to use the facial, your face will start to feel softer. You may also notice dark marks and other blemishes disappearing as well.


Mash the anchovies and garlic into a paste. Whisk in the egg yolk, lemon juice, and mustard. Gradually whisk in the oil. Add the cheese and pepper. Serve.

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

Using a sharp knife, chop up the anchovy fillets and garlic cloves. Mash the two together with the flat side of the blade, then sprinkle the mixture with salt.  A small can of anchovy fillets should contain all you need. Get the anchovies packed in oil, then drain well before using them for this dressing. If you don't wish to use anchovy fillets, you could 2 tsp (10 ml) of prepared anchovy paste instead. Place the mashed anchovy mixture in a medium bowl. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, and mustard, whisking well to combine. Only use egg yolks from pasteurized eggs. There's no heat involved in this recipe, so the yolks won't be cooked. Pour a thin stream of olive oil into the mixture, whisking simultaneously. Continue whisking until the dressing becomes thick and glossy.  The ingredients should be fully emulsified, forming a consistently thick dressing.  If you are unable to pour and whisk simultaneously, add the oil 1 Tbsp (15 ml) at a time and whisk well after each addition. Adding the oil too quickly can make it difficult to blend into the rest of the ingredients. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and ground black pepper into the dressing. Whisk to combine. If desired, you could also add more salt and lemon juice during this step. Perform a taste test and adjust the seasonings as needed. Drizzle the room temperature dressing over a prepared Caesar salad. Alternatively, chill it in your refrigerator for several hours and serve the dressing cold. You can prepare this dressing 24 hours in advance, but it's best to save and use homemade Caesar dressing within one or two days. Keep it in an airtight container in your refrigerator and whisk slightly before serving.


Mash the anchovy paste and garlic together in a small bowl with the back of a fork.

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

For a less intense dressing, use oil-packed anchovies instead. Drain 2 to 4 fillets from the oil, and mince them before adding the garlic. You can make the dressing up to a day ahead. Store it in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator.


Mash the avocado and banana together. Add the remaining three ingredients to the bowl. Apply the mixture to your hair. Leave the mask on for fifteen to twenty minutes. Wash the mask out of your hair with a natural shampoo.

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

Place ½ of an avocado and a whole, peeled banana into a medium sized bowl. Use a fork to mash the two ingredients together. Continue to mash them with your fork until they are evenly mixed together. If your hair is very long, you may need to double all of the ingredients to end up with enough mask. Measure out the almond milk, pure maple syrup and olive oil and put each into the bowl with the mashed avocado and banana mixture. Stir all five ingredients together with a spoon until they are completely mixed together. Be sure to use pure, real maple syrup. Other syrups are filled with high-fructose corn syrup and will not have the same effect on your hair. Use your fingers to scoop up some of the mask mixture and start applying it to your hair. Work it through with your fingers. Continue until you’ve spread the mask all over your hair. Run a wide-toothed comb through your hair to ensure the mask is evenly distributed. You can apply the mask to damp or dry hair. Make sure you’ve fully covered your hair with the mask mixture. Use a few clips to twist your hair up and out of your face. As the mask dries, your hair will start to feel slightly crunchy. This is normal. Put a shower cap on over your hair if you’re worried about getting the mask on your clothing or furniture. Hop in the shower to rinse the mask from your hair. You will need to shampoo the mask out – plain water won’t get all of it out. Make sure you use a natural, nourishing shampoo. If you use a regular shampoo, which includes chemicals and sulfates, it will strip your hair of the nutrients provided by the mask.  After shampooing, condition your hair as you normally would. Use this mask on dry and damaged hair every two weeks for best results.


Mash the black beans. Process the vegetables. Stir together the egg and seasonings. Add the egg mixture and the bean mixture, along with the bread crumbs. Divide into four patties. Store the patties until ready to use. Finished.

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

Place the beans into a medium bowl and use a fork to mash them into a paste-like texture. The texture of the mashed beans should be thick and chunky. You should still see some skins in the mixture. Do not puree the black beans in a blender or food processor at this point, though, since they could become too watery to form patties if you do that. Place the green bell pepper, onion, and garlic into a food processor. Run the machine on medium speed until the vegetables are finely chopped into tiny, indistinguishable pieces. Do not allow the mixture to reach a pureed or paste-like consistency, though. Immediately after processing these vegetables, stir them into your mashed black beans until thoroughly combined. In a separate small bowl, mix together the egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce, beating them gently with a fork or whisk until combined. The yolk and white of the egg should be fairly well combined. The seasonings should also appear evenly spread out within the egg mix. Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the bean mixture. Mix everything together until evenly combined. Add the bread crumbs to the same bowl and mix again, making sure that the crumbs are thoroughly combined, as well.  When ready, the entire mixture should be evenly sticky and it should hold together when pressed into portions without any difficulty. Note that the eggs help bind the ingredients together. The bread crumbs add volume to the patties, and they also prevent the mixture from becoming too moist. Separate the vegetable mixture into four portions, and flatten each portion into a burger patty using your hands or a burger mold. The veggie burger mix might be easier to form into patties if you use your hands, but if you do decide to use a patty press or mold, line it with plastic wrap before use. These veggie burger patties are usually cooked immediately, but if you decide to store them, wrap them in plastic wrap or a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate them until you are ready to cook the burgers.


Mask your double chin by tilting your head. Take photos from above to minimize a double chin. Suck in your core before the picture is taken.

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

Whether you're taking a portrait picture or a group photo, you can quickly hide your double chin by lifting and angling your head. Your head should be tilted at less than a 45 degree angle. Tilting your head helps to prevent the picture capturing your chin at a lower angle, which may make your double chin more obvious. Try not to lower your chin. If you lower your chin too much in a photo, you can risk making your double chin look more obvious. One advantage of photography is that you can change the angle of your photos. If you're worried that your double chin looks too obvious from a forward camera angle, consider moving the camera upwards. Ideally, you want the camera to be positioned above your own height while also being tilted downwards. While not specific to reducing a double chin, sucking in your abdomen can make you look thinner on camera. While sucking in your core, try to envision yourself lengthening your spine.

Massage with oil regularly. Use saline solution. Downsize immediately in the event of bleeding or significant pain. Resume wearing jewelry a few weeks after stretching.

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

Once your ears are stretched to your desired diameter, some tingling and soreness is common. You can help lessen pain by massaging your ears regularly. Wait a few days after the initial stretching before massaging to avoid infection. Use a small amount of your chosen massage oil, which you can buy online or at a local beauty shop, and gently rub into your ears. Do this on a regular basis, a few times a day, until discomfort passes. This helps increase blood flow which can promote healing. Saline solution, which can be purchased at most drug stores, can also help soothe ears after stretching. Use such foams or sprays sparingly, and only once or twice daily. If you notice any side effects, like increased soreness, cease use.  You can make your own saline solution by combining 1/8 teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water.  Rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide should be avoided on a healing ear. If you have pain or bleeding after sizing up, downsize immediately. Pain or bleeding in your ears is a sign something is wrong. It will not, like soreness or tingling, pass over on its own. You should move down a size in tapers or taping. If the soreness and bleeding persists, contact a doctor for evaluation. After you've stretched your ears to the desired diameter, wait a few weeks. If you do not have any trouble like soreness or bleeding, you can resume wearing jewelry. For the first few weeks, stick to jewelry made from silicone or organic materials. If you don't have any trouble with such materials, you can move on to double flared jewelry.


Massage your frontal sinuses. Try massaging your ethmoid/sphenoid sinuses. Learn how to massage your maxillary sinuses. Relieve sinuses using the nose rub technique. Attempt to drain your sinuses through massage.

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

Your frontal sinuses are located in the region of your forehead. Rub lotion or massage oil onto your warmed hands in order to help smooth your fingers along your face without friction. Place both of your index fingers in between your eyebrows in the center of your forehead. Using a circular motion; run your fingers from in between your eyebrows out towards your temples.  Repeat this movement 10 times using constant and firm pressure. Make sure your hands are warm before beginning this massage. Rub your hands together to create a bit of friction and heat. These are your nasal sinuses. Pour a small amount of massage oil or lotion onto your hands and rub them together to warm them up. Use your index fingers to stroke along the side of the bridge of your nose in a downward motion; this will help promote drainage. When you work your way up towards the top of your nose (the bridge), make small circles with your index fingers next to the corners of your eyes.  However, do not touch your eyes or get oil into your eyes. The oil won't harm your eyes but you may experience stinging. Repeat this movement 10 times, all the while applying constant and firm pressure. Again, apply lotion or massage oil to your hands and rub them together to warm them up. Using your index fingers, apply downward pressure on each cheek near the outside corners of your nostrils. Using small circular movements, work your fingers along your cheekbones towards your ear. Repeat this movement 10 times. Again, you should use a firm pressure here to maximize relief. The technique is recommended for individuals with sinus problems, a stuffy nose, and nasal congestion. Rub oil in your hands. Use the palm of your hand to rub the tip of your nose in a circular motion, repeating this movement 15 to 20 times. Change directions and rub your nose the other way in a circular movement 15 to 20 times. For example, if you rubbed your nose clockwise for the first 15 movements, rub your nose in counterclockwise circles for the next 15 movements. Pour a small amount...


Massage your scalp Cut back on caffeine, alcohol and smoking. Minimize stress Consider hair extensions for temporary length. Have realistic expectations. Make sure your slow hair growth is not caused by medical conditions or medications.

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

. Gently massaging your head stimulates blood flow to the scalp, encouraging hair to grow faster. You can do this while shampooing your hair in the shower, or on dry hair before going to bed at night. Brushing your hair and scalp with a natural-bristle brush can also provide the same effect.  To perform the massage, start making small circles with your fingertips, working from your hairline along the arteries in the front, side, and back of the head. Do not press with your fingernails. Work your way towards the top the head, as if drawing a circle. Aim to massage your scalp for just ten minutes a day, five in your morning shower and five before bed at night. Don't give up after a couple of days, try to make it a part of your daily routine. Aside from being bad for your health in general, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol and caffeinated drinks can have a detrimental effect on hair growth.  Smoking reduces blood flow to the scalp, causing hair to turn brittle and dull looking. The smoke from cigarettes can also turn graying hair an unwanted yellow hue, while imparting hair with an unpleasant odor. Alcohol can prevent the liver and colon from properly absorbing the nutrients you take in from food. Without certain essential nutrients, like A and B vitamins, hair becomes dull, weak, and may even begin to shed. Caffeine is dehydrating, and when your body is dehydrated it has a negative impact on the health of skin and hair. If you need your morning coffee to get going everyday, make sure to counteract its dehydrating effects by drinking lots of water. . Intense physical or emotional stress can cause hair growth to slow or shut down completely. In severe cases, stress can even cause hair loss. As a result, it is important to avoid stress and anxiety for the sake of your hair as well as your overall physical and emotional health.  Stress affects hair growth by weakening your immune system and hindering your body's ability to produce healthy hair, skin and nails. When you are stressed, your body uses up any...


Massage your scalp daily to improve your circulation. Try an oil massage to promote hair growth. Use therapeutic hair masks to moisturize and strengthen your hair. Use essential oils in combination with other hair products. Avoid using shampoo that contains sulfates and harsh ingredients.

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

Scalp massage promotes good circulation around your hair follicles, creating the right environment for hair growth. Use the tips of your fingers to gently massage your scalp in a circular motion. Take your time and massage every part of your scalp so that you stimulate blood flow to all the areas where you want to new hair to grow in.  Make massage a habit by doing it every time you wash your hair in the shower. Brush your hair daily with a soft or looped-bristle brush for a gentle scalp massage. This is especially effective if you have long hair. Getting a professional head massage could be educational, since you'll learn the best way to massage your scalp. Adding oil to the equation aids circulation even more than a standard head massage. The oil helps to unclog hair follicles and allow new growth to come in. Once or twice a week, plan to use oil to massage your head. It's easiest to do it in the shower, then rinse away the oil when you're finished. Here are a few popular oils you can try:  Argan oil. Hand-extracted from the Argan tree, this oil contains lots of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fatty acids that are great for restoring moisture and shine to your hair. Jojoba oil. It's very similar in texture to sebum, the natural oil produced by your scalp that lubricates your hair and keeps it healthy. Almond oil. This is traditionally used in India to foster healthy hair growth. A good hair mask performs the dual duty of keeping your hair moisturized and healthy while also stimulating growth. Household goods like honey, egg whites, avocados, aloe and apple cider vinegar are all quite beneficial to hair. Apply a mask for 15 minutes, making sure to cover your scalp as well, then shampoo your hair as normal. Make sure you do not use a shampoo with added sulfate. Try the following masks:  For extra dry hair, combine equal parts honey, egg white, and argan oil. For normal hair, combine equal parts honey, aloe, and olive oil. For oily hair, combine equal parts honey, apple cider vinegar, and castor oil....


Massage your scalp. Rub your scalp with essential oils. Do an oil conditioning treatment. Make a restorative hair mask. Use a boar bristle brush. Know what not to use on your hair.

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

Massaging any part of your body improves circulation by increasing blood flow to the area, and your scalp is no exception. When you massage your scalp, the increased blood flow stimulates your hair follicles to grow. Scalp massage is a simple and easy technique for helping your hair grow in healthy and fast.  Try massaging your scalp every time you take a shower. Use the tips of your fingers to gently rub your scalp in a circular motion. Be sure to cover the front, back and sides of your head.

Wet your hair and massage one to two tablespoons of oil into your scalp for five minutes. Run your fingers through your hair to distribute the oil from your roots to the tips of your hair. You can also use a wide-tooth comb. Cover your hair with a shower cap and let the oil soak in for one to two hours. Shampoo your hair as normal. You may have to wash it twice to remove excess oil. If your hair is dry or thin, treating it with a nutritious mask can help restore its luster. A restorative hair mask may not help your hair grow quickly, but by protecting the hair you have, it...


Master Morse Code. Make use of transposition ciphers. Convert messages to binary.

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

Regardless of its name, Morse Code is a cipher. Dots and dashes represent long and short electrical signals which, in turn, represent the letters of the alphabet. This enabled old-time electrical communication (telegraphs). Common letters in Morse, represented as long ( _ ) and short (.) signals, include:  R ; S ; T ; L : ._. ; _.. ; _ ; ._.. A ; E ; O : ._ ; . ; _ _ _ Many greats in history, like the genius Leonardo da Vinci, have written out messages as they would look reflected in a mirror. Because of this, enciphering in this fashion is often called "mirror writing." These kinds of ciphers can be difficult at first, but generally become second nature quickly. Binary is the language of 1's and 0's used by computers. Combinations of these 1's and 0's can be enciphered and then deciphered with a binary key, or by calculating the values represented by the 1's and 0's for each letter communicated in a message. The name "Matt" would encipher to binary as: 01001101 ; 01000001 ; 01010100 ; 01010100.


Master isolations. Learn how to "pop" with your abs. Balance. Hear the rhythm.

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

If you've ever taken a dance class, you're probably familiar with isolations. This is when you're moving a part of your body but nothing else -- hence isolating it. It may sound simple, but it's very difficult to move any part of your body without at least minimally affecting another. With the robotic like sounds of dubstep, it's essential. Stand in front of the mirror. Start with your head and neck and move down your body, attempting to rotate each part of you independently. Go counterclockwise and clockwise with every part -- your shoulders, chest, abs, hips, down to your ankles. Work with the smallest bits -- finger, fingers, wrists, forearms -- once you get the hang of it. Nothing else should be moving. When you get the hang of moving in circles, experiment moving up and down. You'll be moving on different planes while isolated for the majority of the time. For example, when moving your arm up and down, you're not using your wrist or elbow. Hold it strong, but move your arm leading with your shoulder; in fact, only your shoulder should be working. There are many helpful YouTube tutorials that take you through this process. Basically, you are moving your abs outwards and back in at a fast paced rate or to the beat of the music. With dubstep, that's pretty quickly. Think of your body like a clam shell that's opening and closing. Your top and bottom halves should be coming in to meet at the middle.  Practice this until you have it down, as it forms many of the basic moves to dubstep. You'll be doing a lot of work in slow motion. This means that the majority of the time your weight will not be evenly spread on both legs. And because of the smooth flow of the slow-mo parts and the choppiness of the glitchy parts, there is no wavering in dubstep. There will be times when you're on your toes or the sides of your feet. Start practicing now! Yoga will help, too. Unlike something classic like the waltz (a simple 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3), dubstep goes very fast; often you'll be hitting 1/8 notes and the likes thereof. If...


Master other exercises first.

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

You can break the front walkover down into other exercises that you can master before you try the full skill. Think of a front walkover as being similar to a cartwheel, but more advanced. It’s more difficult and requires more balance, though.  Practice bridges, front limbers, and handstands, handstands in split positions, and a standing backbend while holding one leg up.  To do a front limber, perform a handstand into a bridge. Let your legs fall over. Once your feet contact the floor, push off the floor with your hands to stand up, with your arms up. Push your shoulders back. The balls of your feet should touch the floor first. Then, put your heels down and keep in the bridge position for a few seconds. Then, stand up. The front limber is similar to a front walkover, but the difference is you keep your legs together. To do a bridge, lie on your back. Keep your hands by your ears, and your feet should remain flat on the floor. Push up into the bridge position. Try to keep the arch of your back high to help with the flexibility of the back. Push your legs until they are straight, and your shoulders are directly over your hands.  Handstands can be quite difficult. If you cannot stay up at all, start by putting your hands flat on the ground about six inches away from a wall, fingers pointing to the wall, and kicking up until you are standing on your hands with your feet resting against the wall. You can try giving a tiny kick so that you are away from the wall and can practice balancing on your own. You should eventually be able to stand upright, place your hands flat on the floor, and kick into a handstand position without using a wall to correct yourself.


Master pre-algebra before the first day of class. Buy the books and supplies a month before class. Read the syllabus. Read the textbook before class. Go to all of the classes, even the optional ones. Listen and take notes in class. Do the homework Invest in and learn how to use a graphing calculator. Use graph paper for graphs.

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

Pre-algebra includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals. These concepts are essential for understanding the more complicated algebraic concepts. Find online tutorials that have quizzes associated with them to ensure your mastery of this material. Give yourself a head start on the material by looking through the book before the course begins. If you have time, work through some of the concepts and identify the ones that are particularly difficult for you.  By getting ahead in your College Algebra (or any other math) studies you will have already worked through some problems and you will have intelligent questions to ask your teacher about the material. If your bookstore stocks them, buy a copy of the student solution manual. This will make your homework sessions much easier. Your professor didn’t spend all of that time putting together a syllabus for no reason. The syllabus is a roadmap to the entire course, telling you what material will be covered each class, when homework is due, and when quizzes and exams will be.  Write down all class times, study sessions, quizzes, exams, and project due dates in your planner. This helps you keep track of when everything is due and helps you make academics a priority. Pay special attention to exam study sessions and exams that fall outside of your normal schedule and/or class location. Make sure you have enough time to take algebra. A good rule of thumb is to schedule two hours of homework and studying for every hour of class. If you do not have enough time to take this class due to other commitments in your life, either make time for this class or wait until you do have the time. Refer back to your syllabus to see what part of the textbook will be covered during your next class. Read that section and work some of the problems to check your understanding. Take some notes during your reading to refer back to while studying for quizzes and exams. Come to class prepared to ask questions about the parts that you didn’t understand. If you...
