Exfoliate weekly. Wash properly. Shave properly. Moisturize daily. Keep your makeup brushes clean. Remove makeup before bed. Apply skin-softening foods topically. Treat yourself to a massage.

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

Exfoliation makes your skin softer by removing dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. You can scrub your face with coffee grounds mixed with some mild soap, or a store-bought exfoliation product. For relief of redness as well, look for something that contains green tea extracts and glycolic acid. Avoid exfoliating more than once or twice a week, as exfoliating too often can cause skin irritation. Moisture loss and removing your skin’s natural oils can lead to dry and flaky skin, and bathing too often, bathing for too long, and using hot water can all increase moisture and oil loss. Bathe every other day if you can, use cooler water, use your hand or a soft cloth instead of a scrubber to apply soap, and limit your shower time to five or 10 minutes.  After your shower or bath, don’t rub your skin dry, as this can remove moisture and oil. Instead, gently pat or rub yourself with a fluffy towel.  When your skin is still somewhat damp, apply your favorite moisturizer. If you choose to shave, save shaving for last when you’re bathing, because this will give your skin time to soften up. Use a moisturizing shaving cream and sharp razors with multiple blades. It’s also important to shave downward, or with the direction of your hair growth to prevent irritation.  Don’t shave first thing in the morning when you’re retaining water, as you won’t get as close a shave. Treat razor burn with a warm compress, and always moisturize after shaving. To avoid the added cost of shaving cream, you can use hair conditioner as a substitute, but avoid soap as it won’t lubricate your skin enough. Your skin doesn’t seem to mind what kind of moisturizer you prefer, as long as you use it often and regularly. Always moisturize after bathing or shaving, before applying makeup, after removing makeup, and after doing dishes or getting your skin wet.  Look for a moisturizer that has plant-based oils and hydrating ingredients like vitamin A, vitamin E, cocoa butter, shea butter, lavender, and chamomile. For particularly dry skin, try a deep overnight...


Exfoliate with a soft cloth or sponge. Make your own fruit-based cleanser. Opt for sugar over salt. Exfoliate with oatmeal. Work with baking soda.

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

Using a damp washcloth is one of the gentlest ways to exfoliate skin. Simply moisten a standard terry washcloth with lukewarm water, wring out the excess, and gently buff the skin you wish to exfoliate. If you have severely sensitive, dry, or damaged skin, you might consider switching to a konjac sponge. These sponges are made from natural fibers found in the konjac plant. They're soft and slightly rubbery, and the texture is finer than that of a loofah or washcloth. Soften the sponge in warm water for five minutes; wring out the excess, then massage the skin in light, circular movements. Many fruits contain natural acids that can gently scrub away dead skin. To make these cleansers even gentler, stick with mildly acidic fruits like papaya and strawberry while avoiding stronger citrus fruits (e.g., lemons or limes). You should also dilute the fruits with a base of oil, water, or yogurt for added protection against the acids.  For example, try mixing 1 Tbsp (15 ml) full-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tsp (5 ml) papaya puree, 1 tsp (5 ml) strawberry puree, 1 tsp (5 ml) raw honey, and 2 tsp (10 ml) granulated sugar. Apply the mask to your skin and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes before gently rinsing with lukewarm water.  Never leave any fruit mask on for more than 10 minutes. If the mask starts to sting, rinse it off before the full 10 minutes pass. Sugar-based scrubs are gentler than salt-based scrubs, making them safer to use on sensitive or dry skin. Sugar particles act as mechanical exfoliants, and they also contain glycolic acid, which acts as a gentle chemical exfoliant. Try mixing 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of almond or apricot oil with about 1 cup (250 ml) of raw sugar. Add 5 to 6 drops of essential oil, if desired. Lightly buff the sugar scrub over the dead skin and rinse it away with lukewarm water. Keep any excess in an airtight container and use within one month. Oatmeal is generally safe for sensitive skin and works well as a mechanical exfoliant. Grind a handful of whole oats in a food processor until a find powder...

with a toothbrush. Most often, the first place you should turn to when looking for answers is a good homemade solution; in the case of skin and lip care, there's nowhere better to start than with exfoliation. Like the rest of your body and face, your lips build up dead skin particles; these reflect less light than the rest of your lips, and may have the effect of making your lips look smaller. Using a toothbrush and lightly scrubbing in small, circular motions for two minutes will remove the excess skin matter, leaving your lips looking brighter, and feeling softer.  Refrain from using anything more abrasive than a toothbrush for this kind of exfoliation. Lips don't hold up well to a body loofah! If you're looking for a perfect, simple homemade exfoliator for your lips, a basic mixture of brown sugar and honey is just the thing for adding radiance and moisture. First, get a teaspoon of brown sugar, then proceed to slowly add the honey until there is enough to make a thick paste. Once this easy mixture is prepared, dab it with a washcloth and rub your lips in a gentle, circular motion. The grainy texture of the sugar will scrub away the dead flakes, and the beneficial chemical properties of the ingredients will give your lips a more radiant shine.  Coconut and olive oil work in the place of honey for this mixture, if you have a supply or preference favouring one over the other. Apply some unscented lip balm after you've cleaned off the paste. This will help immediately soften your lips post-exfoliation. If you're looking for another DIY exfoliator to work with, try adding a small amount of water to a teaspoon of baking soda. Baking soda ranks among the most versatile home ingredients out there, and its benefits can be geared to apply to lip care as well. Making and using a baking soda mix follows a similar method to the coconut oil:  First, add enough water that the baking soda becomes a thick paste, much like a brown sugar exfoliator. Once complete,  dab the solution with a washcloth or your finger, and...

to make them soft. You don't want your lips hard or chapped and dry. Use an exfoliating lip scrub or a toothbrush dipped in petroleum jelly to remove any dead, flaky skin and leave your lips smooth and soft.  Make your own lip scrub by combining a pinch of brown sugar and a little honey, olive oil, or coconut oil.  Gently rub the exfoliant or toothbrush over your lips using small, circular motions. Don't be too rough. Wipe your lips with a washcloth to remove all the petroleum jelly or lip exfoliator. Instead of a lip gloss or chapstick, which can seal the skin on your lips and keep moisture out, look specifically for a lip moisturizer and apply it right after showering.  Look for a lip moisturizer with vitamins A, B, and E which moisturize and help with absorbency.  Use a few drops of vitamin-rich sesame seed oil if you are in a pinch. If you're going to use a real piece of candy and not a flavored lip gloss, the minty flavor of the toothpaste may interfere with the sweetness of the candy and create a bad taste. You definitely want to start with a clean mouth, however, so make sure you brush your teeth 30-60 minutes before you think you're going to kiss your partner, so the mint flavor has time to fade. If you're planning to flavor your lips only, try to brush your teeth right before you meet your partner.


Exfoliate your lips. Apply a moisturizing lip balm. Blend concealer over your lips.

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

Dry lights reflect less light than smooth, hydrated lips, which can make them look smaller. Before putting on any lip products, exfoliate your lips to remove any dry, flaky skin. Use a scrub designed specifically for the lips or brush them lightly with a clean, sanitized toothbrush to remove dead skin. You can make your own lip scrub by combining 2 teaspoons (10 g) of brown or white sugar with 1 teaspoon (15 ml) of an oil, such as coconut or olive. When your lips are exfoliated, you want to hydrate them to lock in the moisture. That will leave them looking plump when you apply your lip color. Use a moisturizing lip balm or treatment, and allow it to sit for a couple of minutes so it sinks into your lips. You can use any type of lip balm or moisturizer that you like, but it’s a good idea to choose a formula that lists a mint, such as peppermint or spearmint, as an active ingredient. Mint helps boost blood flow, so it can help make your lips look fuller. Patting concealer over your lips can help ensure that your lipstick or gloss goes on true to color. You can also make your lips look fuller if you blend the concealer just a little bit beyond your lip line to blur the edge. That will help it look more natural when you line outside your lips with a liner before you apply your lipstick. Use a concealer that matches your skin tone exactly so you can blur your lip line more easily.

For a more intense removal of dead or flaking skin, make a homemade exfoliation treatment for lips. Mix together equal amounts of sugar and honey (or olive oil), then rub onto your lips in a circular motion with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Let this sit for a few minutes, then wipe off your lips as described below. Soak a soft cloth in lukewarm water for a minute, then gently wipe your lips. This prevents tiny tears in your lips, which can make them turn pink or sore. Follow this method whenever you are removing old lip products, or when your lips feel covered in dead skin or food. Use ChapStick, Vaseline, or a similar product to keep your lips moisturized. Apply and leave in until there are no major cracks or flaking areas visible on your lips.  If you plan to apply makeup, use the lip balm 1–2 hours in advance if possible, then continue on to that section. Drinking enough water will minimize cracks and chapping.


Exfoliate your lips. Smooth on a lip balm. Line and fill in your lips. Apply the red lip color and blot. Add a second layer if necessary.

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

Because a red lip color will draw attention to your lips, it’s important to make sure that they’re smooth and flake-free. Rub a small amount of lip scrub on your lips in a circular motion to gently exfoliate them. Wipe your lips off with a damp wash cloth to remove the scrub when you’re finished.  While you can purchase lip scrubs at the drugstore and beauty supply store, you can also make one from items in your kitchen. Mix 1 part olive oil with 1 part sugar, and apply it to your lips just as you would a commercial scrub. You can also use a clean, damp toothbrush to exfoliate your lips. Just rub the brush lightly over your lips to remove any flakes. Once your lips are exfoliated, it’s important to lock in the moisture. Apply a hydrating lip balm to your lips, and give it at least 5 minutes to soak in before applying your other lip products. To make sure that there isn’t any excess balm on your lips that might make the red lip color slide off, blot your lips with a tissue after you’ve given the balm time to be absorbed. To keep the red lip color from bleeding outside your lip line, it’s important to use a lip liner. The liner also serves as a base for the lip color to stick to so it lasts longer. Trace around the edge of your lips with the liner, and then fill in the inside of your lips.  For the richest red color, use a lip liner that matches the red lip color you’re using as closely as possible. If you want to keep the look of the red lip color soft, line your lips with a nude liner that’s similar to your natural lip color. After you’ve lined and filled in your lips, it’s time to apply the red lip color. The best method of application will depend on the type of lip product that you’re using, but take your time so you can smooth the color on as precisely as possible. After you’ve applied the color, use a tissue to blot away any excess.  If you’re using a traditional red lipstick, apply it directly from the tube for the most pigmented red color. You can also use a lip brush to apply the lipstick to edges of...


Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week. Apply a moisturizer Put on sunscreen Make healthy changes to your lifestyle to get glowing skin. Shield yourself from the sun outdoors, even if you have on sunscreen. Be realistic with your expectations.

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

Exfoliating means gently scrubbing your skin to remove dead skin cells. You can do this with a dry exfoliating brush, a damp washcloth, or a salt or sugar body scrub.  Since the skin on your face is very delicate, only use exfoliating tools and products specifically designed for use on the face. Body exfoliating products will typically be too harsh.  Keep in mind that exfoliation only helps if your current skin is darker than your normal skin tone, because it reveals fresh skin that is untouched by the sun. To make your own facial scrub, try adding a teaspoon of ground almonds or oatmeal to your regular cleanser. to your skin morning and night. Your skin will look lighter, brighter, and healthier if it’s well-nourished. Use a moisturizer that’s formulated for your skin tone, and apply it every morning and evening after you wash your face.  For example, if you have oily skin, you would use a lightweight moisturizer that absorbs quickly. If your skin is dry, you might need a heavier moisturizer. If you have combination skin, you might prefer using a lightweight moisturizer on most of your face, then a more concentrated formula where your skin is the driest. Use a lightweight body moisturizer on your chest, arms, and legs. indoors and outdoors. Most of the normal darkening and discoloration of your skin is caused by exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. To prevent this, along with skin-related conditions caused by UVA and UVB rays, wear sunblock with a minimum of SPF 30 on your face, chest, arms, and hands every day, no matter where you'll be. For the strongest sun protection, reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours, especially if you’ll be outdoors. Each day, try to eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. In addition, men should drink about 3.7 l (130  fl oz), while women need about 2.7 L (91  fl oz) of water every day in order to stay hydrated. Try to exercise for about 30 minutes a day, as well.

regularly. Exfoliating can remove dead skin cells that build up on the skin and clog your hair follicles. Gently exfoliate the areas where you plan to remove hair by gently rubbing your skin with a wet washcloth or a mild exfoliating scrub.  Use circular motions while exfoliating for maximum effectiveness. You can make a gentle exfoliating scrub at home by mixing three parts baking soda with one part water. Use this scrub once a week for best results. Keeping your skin and hair hydrated will make your skin less prone to over drying and your hair less prone to breakage. Soft, hydrated hair is also easier to shave. After exfoliating your skin, treat it with a gentle moisturizing lotion.  Check the label on your moisturizer to make sure that it is non-comedogenic (won't clog your pores). If you plan to shave your head hair, you can keep it moisturized and supple with a hair conditioner. You can help keep your body and facial hair moisturized just before or during a shave by soaking the hair in warm water and using a lubricating gel or moisturizing shaving cream. Most hair removal techniques leave your skin and follicles more vulnerable to infection. Use warm water and a mild face or body cleanser to wash away dirt and bacteria before shaving, plucking, or waxing.


Exfoliate your skin once a week. Use a face mask once every 2-4 weeks. Use pore cleansing strips to get rid of blackheads.

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

Exfoliation does not need to be done every day, as this can make your skin irritated and raw over time. Instead, aim to exfoliate your skin once every 1-2 weeks to remove dead skin and soften it up. You can use a homemade exfoliating treatment, or use a store-bought one. Simply wet your skin, scoop some of the exfoliant onto your fingertips, and massage it onto your skin. Do this for 60-seconds, and then use a bit of warm water to rinse it off.  Try mixing sugar with honey for a home-made exfoliant. If your skin is sensitive, you can use oatmeal mixed with honey or milk to buff down your skin. Face masks do a few things (depending on the one that you're using). They work to remove toxins in your skin, clear out your pores, and get rid of dead skin cells and grime. They are best used once every 2-4 weeks, as they may dry out your skin if used more frequently than that. To use a face mask, wet your face and scoop some of the mask onto your fingertips. Spread it evenly over your skin, and allow it to dry for 20-30 minutes (until no longer tacky). Then, use warm water and a damp cloth to wipe the mask off your face.   You can use masks as a spot treatment on pimples; simply dab it onto a zit, and leave it to dry overnight. Wash it off in the morning, and the redness and tenderness of your pimple will be greatly reduced. Mud masks are generally the most popular, but there are many kinds that you can find to use. Pore cleansing strips are a type of cotton strip with an adhesive on one side. The adhesive side is pressed onto your skin, and when you pull the strip off, it removes any blackheads that might have been present. Pore cleansing strips are generally only needed when you're breaking out. They are usually used on the face (on the nose and chin), but can be used on any part of the body that has blackheads. Follow the package directions for your strips, and finish up by washing and moisturizing your face.


Exfoliate your skin with a home remedy. See a dermatologist about microdermabrasion. Undergo laser treatment. Consider dermabrasion in severe cases.

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

Use a water and baking soda mixture, lemon juice, ground fruit seeds and nuts, sugar, papaya, or ground coffee on a regular basis to remove your ringworm scars over time. Apply the mixture to your scarred area, gently massage the mixture into the skin, and then rinse it well with warm water. If you don’t want to use a home remedy, you can also purchase over-the-counter exfoliation kits at drugstores. A dermatologist can help you remove mild scars caused by ringworm through using microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is a gentler, non-surgical procedure that exfoliates the outer layer of your skin with a fine abrasive tip or by applying crystals and vacuum suction to the skin. You can also find microdermabrasion kits at drugstores, but make sure you understand how to use the included tools correctly before attempting this yourself. Laser treatments are often successful at removing scarring, but you may have to endure several sessions before you notice a major difference in your scar’s appearance. Laser treatment would destroy little pieces of your tissue to promote the growth of new skin that will replace your ringworm scars. This procedure, unlike microdermabrasion, is invasive and must be done by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. In this procedure, instruments are used to sand down and remove disfigured skin. Only consider this option for removing your ringworm scars as a last resort of if they’re very deep. Avoid trying this method if you have a dark skin tone. Dermabrasion sometimes causes scarring or discoloration on darker skin.


Exfoliate your skin. Compare a few makeup products. Try out your cover up or concealer.

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

Use a body scrub the morning before you want to cover up your stretch marks. Try a body scrub made with caffeine. This may make your skin appear tighter and smoother. Try a leg and body cover up cream. There are a number of cover ups on the market that will cover up stretch marks and other lines that detract from healthy-looking skin. No one has the exact same skin, so you may have to try a few products to see which is best for you.  Choose a color that will match your skin tone. Remember that it may be lighter or darker than your face makeup. Choose a body cover up that includes sunscreen if you are regularly exposed to sunlight. Sunburns reduce the elasticity of your skin and make stretch marks more noticeable. If you don’t have access to leg and body cover up, use a primer moisturizer or a waterproof concealer. Choose a concealer with green undertones to cover up red marks. Dip a flat foundation brush into the cover up product. Dab it gently onto the areas with stretch marks. Aim to use a very light layer of makeup. Assess the coverage that you get with a single layer. Layer the makeup in thin coats until you achieve the desired effect. It will quickly be obvious to you if it is working.  If you are going to wear a swimsuit, put it on before you apply makeup. Use a powder brush to apply setting powder. Leave the powder a few minutes before changing into a short skirt or shorts. A spray-on makeup fixative will also work to set the cover up or concealer.


Exhale and return to the forward fold. Get into a plank pose. Lower yourself into a low pushup. Inhale and enter an upward dog pose (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana).

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

From the half-standing forward bend, slowly return to your previous position. Slide your hands back down your shins so that you are grasping your ankles. Make sure to keep your back straight as you bend forward and rest your chest against your thighs. Inhale and place your hands flat on the floor. Carefully step back with both feet, one foot at a time, extending your legs straight out behind you with your toes curled under you. Keep your arms straight and your shoulders directly above your wrists, and keep your back straight and flat. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart, and your feet should be hip-distance apart. This is also known as the 4-limbed staff pose or Chaturanga Dandasana. Exhale and bend your arms at the elbows so that your torso is parallel to the floor. Push back through your legs into your heels, keeping your legs straight out behind you. If you’re not strong enough to do a low pushup, lower yourself down so that your knees, chin, and chest are on the floor. Push your toes out behind you so that the tops of your feet are resting flat on the floor. Keeping your arms straight and your hands resting flat on the floor, raise your head and push your chest forward and your shoulders back so that you enter a backbend. Allow your shins to rest on the floor, but try to keep your thighs and hips slightly elevated.


Exhale into your own personal cut lettuce supply. Add a stronger carbon dioxide source. Vacuum seal crisp lettuce in a glass jar.

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

Carbon dioxide can reduce browning and increase shelf life in cut lettuce. One easy way to add CO2 is to exhale a small amount into the bag of lettuce, then seal it. For sanitary reasons, do this only with lettuce you plan to eat personally. Carbon dioxide is not beneficial for intact lettuce heads. This clever way to add carbon dioxide can increase your lettuce's lifespan by five extra days, in the best case scenario. Here's how to set it up:  Freeze 1 tsp (5mL) white vinegar in a spice jar or other small container. Pour 1 tsp (5mL) baking soda onto the frozen vinegar. Leave the lid off the jar, and cover with several layers of paper towel. Fasten with a rubber band. Keep this jar upright in a sealed container of lettuce. The vinegar will slowly melt and react with the baking soda to create CO2. If you have a vacuum-packing machine, you can use it on a jar of iceberg lettuce to keep it fresh for up to two weeks. Romaine lettuce typically lasts a week when vacuum sealed. This does not work well with butter lettuce and other tender leaves.  You can imitate a vacuum packing machine with a much cheaper (but less effective) hand pump. Punch a hole through the jar lid with a thumbtack, cover it with electrical tape, and pump air out through the tape.  This will not work with a plastic bag of lettuce, as the leaves will be crushed in the vacuum.


Exhale quickly and steadily until your lungs are completely empty. Keep your lungs empty for about 5 seconds. Fill up your lungs with a single quick breath. Take a few (2-3) normal, steady breaths. Repeat this exercise 3 times daily for 20 minute periods.

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

You’ll feel your chest depress slowly as the air escapes your lungs; this will feel uncomfortable at first but you’ll quickly get used to it. Start slowly when first performing this exercise. It’s possible to hurt yourself if you release the air too quickly or too strongly. If you feel discomfort or pain, stop immediately. In doing this, you are fully extending the muscles in your diaphragm. This helps to condition and strengthen your diaphragm. It will improve your endurance and make you less likely to run out of breath. As you hold this position, your reflex will be to inhale. Resist this temptation or you’ll limit the exercise’s effectiveness. Inhale as soon as you’ve held your breath for 5 seconds. Once your lungs are completely filled with air, hold this position for 10 seconds. Filling your lungs this way helps to expand your lung capacity, meaning you’ll need to take less breaths when you rap. This helps re-establish normal oxygen levels in preparation for your next repetition. You shouldn’t perform the exercise multiple times back to back without resetting; this could injure your respiratory system. Between the exercise itself and the recuperation between each “rep”, you should be able to perform about 15-20 reps per 20 minute set. Your 3 daily sets don’t necessarily have to be performed one after the other; feel free to perform them throughout the day. For instance, you can perform one when you wake up in the morning, one around lunch and one just before bed.  If you perform this exercise daily, you should see noticeable results within 4-8 weeks as your diaphragm becomes stronger and more flexible. Doing this will allow you to flow stronger for longer periods of time. As you’re not constantly rushing for breath, you’ll sound more confident when performing and have the ability to add more emphasis to your lyrics.


Exhale when you kick outward. Snap your hip towards the target right before making contact. Avoid making contact with your toes or the top of your foot. Practice with a heavy bag. Strengthen your muscles with leg exercises.

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

If you hold your breath while kicking, your muscles will be tight. It’s much harder to coordinate your whole body’s strength if you’re stiff. Force a quick exhale whenever you kick to loosen up your muscles and put more power behind your kicks. Some martial arts use specific words for different moves. This forces you to exhale when performing attacks and represents a release of power. Use your whole body whenever you kick to add more power. When you kick outward from the chamber position, snap your hip towards the target. This directs your energy at the target so there is maximum force behind your kick when you make contact.  Use the side of the hip that you're kicking from. If you're kicking with your right leg, snap the right side of your hip towards the target when you throw the kick. The hip snap goes in different directions depending on what type of kick you throw. In a front kick, for example, snap your hip straight forward. In a roundhouse kick, snap your hip sideways in the direction you’re kicking. Use your hips when you perform other attacks as well. A hip snap right before a punch adds a lot of power. While different kicks have different contact points, the toes or top of the foot are never the intended contact point. The intended contact point is usually a solid part of the foot that projects the most power and can withstand the impact. Kicking with the right contact point also prevents injuries by using the strongest parts of your foot. Learn the intended impact point of any kick you perform to maximize your power.  Common impact points are the ball of the foot for a front kick, the blade of the foot for a side kick, and the shin just above the ankle for a roundhouse kick. Some other kicks up different parts of the foot. A hook kick, for example, uses the heel as its impact point. Practicing in the air helps build balance, but you won’t build power unless you hit something. A heavy bag is a padded, yet solid, stand that you can perform different attacks on. Put all of your training together by...


Exhale. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth. Inhale slowly. Hold your breathe for 3 to 5 seconds. Exhale normally. Reset the indicator. Repeat as directed. Cough.

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

Breathe out naturally, expelling as much air from your lungs as possible.  Exhale through your mouth instead of your nose to push out more air at a quicker pace. A complete exhale is important. If you only exhale partially, you won't be able to inhale as deeply as you would with emptied lungs, making it more difficult to reach your goal point or obtain accurate results. Firmly press your lips around the mouthpiece to create a tight seal.  Reposition your tongue as needed to make sure that it does not block the mouthpiece and hinder usage. You must create and maintain a tight seal with your lips. Otherwise, some of the air you inhale will come from outside the Voldyne 5000, and the resulting measurement will be lower than it should be. Take a deep, slow breath. Continue breathing in until you either reach your marked goal or are no longer able to inhale further.  If you're maintaining an adequately tight seal with your lips, this inhale should seem similar to the feeling of drinking a thick liquid through a small straw. Watch the goal piston as it bounces between "Good," "Better," and "Best." This indicator measures the speed of your inhale, and a slower inhale will create a better reading. Try to keep it within the "Better" and "Best" ranges. Inhaling slowly gives the air sacs in your lungs more time to open, which will make it easier to get a deeper breath. Watch the main piston, as well. Try to make this piston reach the goal marked by the yellow pointer. You can allow the piston to rise higher, but you should not try to force it. Once you've finished inhaling, pause and hold your breath for a minimum of 3 seconds. Watch the main piston as you hold your breath. It should gradually drop back down to bottom or "zero" position. Once it does, you can proceed to the next step. Take the mouthpiece out of your mouth and breathe out at a normal, comfortable pace.  As before, try to expel all of the air from your lungs on this exhale. If you feel winded or if your lungs are otherwise tired, take a few normal breaths...

Expand on your character profile to include personality traits. Connect clothing and personal objects to the character’s personality. Make him or her an active participant. Include stream of consciousness and/or dialogue. Don’t limit active verbs to a character’s movement.

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

List their talents, strengths and weaknesses, moral beliefs, likes and dislikes, and any other personal information you have considered. Readers don't need all of this information, but you need to know your character in and out to make decisions about what to present.  Think about how they see themselves and how others would perceive them. Do these images match or clash?  Do their dreams for the future match their talents and strengths? You want your reader to leave with an impression of who your character is as a person, not just what they look like. Are their clothes neatly pressed and tailored, indicating attention to their appearance, or do they look like they rolled out of bed and threw on whatever was nearest on the floor. Note anything that is absent that one would normally expect.  Are they walking in the snow without a coat or shoes, or fully dressed head-to-toe in 100 degree weather? Describing how your character interacts with his or her environment gives you a chance to offer insight into their intellect and conscious indirectly, so that your writing becomes a story and not just a biographical sketch.  Be specific and concrete.  If surfing the web, what type of sites are they looking at?  If walking, are they taking large, confident strides or shuffling their feet?  Even if s/he is doing "nothing," this fact provides insight into their personality and thoughts. When little direct action is taking place, recording the character's thoughts or conversations keeps the reader engaged.  When using dialogue, note the speaker’s tone or inflection, any pauses or tics, or unusual words choices. Do they gesture while they speak or use meaningful body language? Are they saying what they really think or hiding their true nature? Make their physical attributes active, as well.  A long skirt might graze the floor, their hair may fly around wildly. Maybe their coffee cup sits motionless and loses its warmth because they are too preoccupied to drink.


Expand your comfort zone. Get out there and mingle. Start up a new hobby. Take a class to learn something new. Travel to new places. Try new foods. Share your experience with friends.

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

Summon your courage. Do something that pushes your boundaries. Try rock climbing, or go on the scariest ride at a carnival or amusement park. It can feel exciting, get your heart pumping faster, and make you feel alive again. When you step outside your comfort zone, you open a door to a new world of exciting experiences. You don't have to ditch your current friends, but try casting a wider net and hanging out with someone new. A co-worker, someone from the gym, or a friend-of-a-friend can introduce you to new experiences, food, music, and perspectives. You can bring some excitement to their life, too. Whether it is painting or playing video games, a new activity is refreshing. Try collecting something you love. Find a club to join of people that share your interest. Going to school may not seem that exciting, but you could also take a cooking class, an art class, a karate class, or anything else you have a deep interest in learning. Learning new things will help keep you growing as person, even if you are older. You can often find some classes available for you to try for free at your local community center. Traveling somewhere new is a great way to meet new people and learn about life from a different cultural perspective. Even if you only take a short road trip to the next state it can be incredibly refreshing to discover new places that you have never seen before. Eating at a restaurant with food from another country, or just from a different part of the one you live in, can bring a whole other flavor to your palette. If don't want to spend the money to eat out, you can always look up some new recipes and try cooking them at home. You don't have to do this alone. If you have any friends with unexciting lives, get them to do exciting things with you. It is much more fun, and it will make these memories last twice as long.


Expand your horizons. Try free association. Draw solutions. Put it out of your mind. Sleep on it.

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

Creativity is defined as a combination of imagination, knowledge, and evaluation. Improving your creativity can help you increase your problem-solving abilities overall. In order to engage your creative side more, try new activities such as: drawing, painting, dancing, cooking, playing music, writing in a journal, writing stories, or designing/creating anything else you can think of! Also known as brain-storming, free association writing can be helpful to generate new ideas or ways of solving problems.  Write down the first things that come to mind when you think of the word creativity. Now, do the same with the word problem-solving. Write down what your problem is and any words that immediately come to mind that are associate with your problem including feelings, behaviors, and ideas. A brain-storm for procrastination might look like: anger, frustration, busy, tasks, distraction, avoidance, boss, disappointment, worry, late, distressed, and overwhelmed. Now brain-storm solutions to the problem (what might be involved and how it would feel). For procrastination this might look like: reduce distraction, quiet place, clean desk, tight schedule, calm, happy, relaxed, confident, understanding, no stress, free, peace, cleanliness, relationships, timely, and organized. Graphic representations have been indicated in developing creative problem solving skills in children. Using art is one creative way to think about problems and solutions differently. Try doing an art therapy exercise. Take a piece of paper and put a line down the middle. One the left side draw your problem. For example, if procrastination is the issue you might draw a picture of yourself at a desk with loads of papers and assignments on your desk, while you are in the picture texting on your phone. Once you have drawn the problem, draw on the other side of the paper a representation of what the solution might look like. For example, this might be a picture of you with your desk clean, phone away, working quietly at your desk. If you are stressed out...


Expect different-aged children to deal with death differently. Tell your child the news in simple, plain language. Encourage your child to open up to you. Help solidify positive memories by remembering good times together. Offer your child the chance to take part in memorial rituals. Let yourself grieve as well. Get professional help if your child is struggling with severe grief.

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

Older children may be better prepared to cope with death than younger children. Very young children, like preschoolers, may have a hard time understanding that death is permanent, and may instead view it as a temporary separation. Most high schoolers, on the other hand, can understand the finality of death and its causes. Be truthful when discussing the death with your child—minimizing or ignoring negative emotions will only confuse your child later on. Don't make up stories or wait to tell them "at the right time" for fear of hurting them. Present the news and answer questions in simple and direct terms, without using euphemisms like "lost" or "passed on." For example, you might say, “I have sad news. Uncle Dave died last night.”  If a child hears about the death of a loved one from someone else, it may be confusing and unbelievable. The child may not know where to turn for advice if not you. A trusted, familiar loved one should tell your child about the death whenever possible so that they feel safe. Like many adults, children can have a hard time expressing themselves or knowing when to speak about serious subjects like death. Be sure to encourage them to talk about how they feel, but respect their wishes if they are quiet or uncomfortable at first. Pressuring them to talk will only confuse them more and make it harder to comprehend their grief. Let your child direct the conversation—they will ask the questions that are important to them. This helps you find the right tone and information for their maturity level. Talk to children about the good things that they remember. You can look at pictures from happy moments together, write down stories you enjoy, and make an effort to stay positive. While this is difficult when you are going through grief too, keeping the positive in sight will help everyone cope with the death in a healthy way. If your child wants to talk about happy memories of their loved one, don’t try to change the subject. Having positive conversations about the deceased person is a healthy...


Expect high prices. Buy from jewelers and trusted merchants. Do not trust sellers offering black coral. Do not expect perfection. Find out if the coral is reconstituted.

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

While not as coveted as many non-organic gemstones, coral can be quite rare and, as a result, fairly expensive. Pure red coral, called "fire coral" or "ox blood coral," has been over-collected and is now limited in an effort to reduce the stress placed on natural coral reefs. As a result, pure red coral will not usually be cheap, and you should be suspicious of any merchant selling red coral at a low price. Coral is about as common with jewelers as amber, so you can find a few pieces at a big name retailer but are more likely to find a bigger selection with a smaller, specialized jeweler or online merchant. Gem-grade black coral is no longer available commercially. If you purchase a vintage or antique piece, the black coral might be real. On a newer piece, however, you will be unable to find gem-grade black coral. Coral is generally supposed to look slightly jagged and uneven. Perfectly round or square cut gemstones can be found, but the rough, "natural" look is generally preferred. Reconstituted coral is technically organic, but it is not quite as natural. These gems are made from coral fragments that have been ground into a powder, doused with a binding agent, and reformed into the desired cut. These stones may also be dyed to enhance the color.


Expect immediate attention in the Emergency Room. Expect an ECG. Expect blood testing. Prepare for cardiac catheterization. Expect a stress test after the event is over.

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

A heart attack is life-threatening and also can respond well to immediate and early treatment protocols. If you or a friend are in the ER with a potential heart attack you will receive immediate attention. An electrocardiogram is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. This will show the doctor how much muscle may be injured or if you are in the middle of having a heart attack. An injured muscle will not conduct electricity the way that an uninjured muscle will. The electrical activity from the heart is transmitted through electrodes placed on your chest and printed on paper for evaluation. When the heart muscle is injured during a heart attack there are specific chemicals released into the bloodstream. Troponin is one chemical that remains in the blood for up to two weeks - giving your doctor a reasonable method of diagnosing whether you recently had a heart attack which might have gone un-diagnosed. Your doctor may perform a cardiac catheterization to find out more information about the condition of your heart. During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel and into your heart. It is often inserted through an artery in the groin area, and is a relatively risk-free procedure. During a cardiac catheterization, your doctor may:  X-ray your heart using a contrast dye. This can help your doctor see if there are any narrow or blocked arteries. Check the pressure in the chambers of your heart. Take blood samples, which can be used to measure the oxygen content in your heart chambers. Perform a biopsy. Check your heart's ability to pump efficiently. In the weeks following a heart attack you may undergo a stress test to evaluate how the blood vessels in your heart respond to exercise. You’ll be on a treadmill and hooked up to an electrocardiogram machine which measures the electrical activity in the heart. This will help your doctor determine long-term treatment for your condition.


Expect increased pain. Anticipate muffled hearing. Look for physical changes. Feel your neck for swelling. Check for a fever.

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

You may now have severe pain spreading to your face, neck, jaw, or the side of your head that is affected by the advanced ear infection. You should see your doctor right away or go to the emergency room if you have severe symptoms. You will likely now have complete blockage of your ear canal, reducing your ability to hear out of the infected ear. The redness of your ear will increase and your outer ear may now be swollen and red. As the infection increases, the lymphatic system in your body will be activated to fight. Swelling in the lymph nodes in your neck therefore indicate an increased progression of infection. Use the middle 3 fingers of your hand to check your lymph nodes. Press gently down the sides of your neck and under your jaw line for swelling. As the infection begins to affect your body to a greater extent, your body will be working harder to fight off the infection. One way your body does this is by raising your temperature to make the environment inhospitable to infections.  A fever will generally be anything over 37.3C or 99F. There are different ways to monitor a fever, including using tympanic, or ear, thermometers. If you have an ear infection, be sure to take your temperature in the opposite ear. The infection will naturally increase the temperature in the affected ear so you want to be sure you get a true reading of your body temperature.


Expect more skin tags as you age. Be on the lookout for more skin tags if you are pregnant. Research whether others in your family have had skin tags. Discuss skin tags with a dermatologist.

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

As your skin gets older, it is more and more prone to developing skin tags in areas that experience a lot of friction. This is a natural occurrence and will have no impact on your overall skin health. However, once women reach age 50 their chance of developing skin tags begins to fall. Pregnancy can change the shape of your body and will create more areas of skin rubbing against skin. This combined with changes to your hormone levels can lead to skin tags. Once your pregnancy is over, your skin tags will not disappear. They can only be removed by cutting them off. There is some evidence that getting skin tags can be inherited from your parents. If you want to know if you are likely to get skin tags in the future, ask your parents or other relatives if they have skin tags. If they do, you will know that you are likely to get them. Just because your relatives have skin tags is doesn't mean that you will get them. It just means that you are more likely to get them than if your family members do not have them. If you are concerned about skin tags, you should talk to a dermatologist about them. A dermatologist can tell you all about the most up to date treatments and prevention ideas.


Expect some minor discomfort. Take precautions to help recovery. Continue to monitor the situation.

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

It's common to feel a scratchiness or discomfort in your eye after you have removed the offending object. If you continue to feel discomfort for more than a day after removing the object, consult a physician. There are many precautionary measures to protect eye during the recovery process. These include:  Alerting and informing an eye care professional if new symptoms arise or if pain becomes unbearable Following the advice of your eye care professional, if you consulted one Protecting eyes from ultraviolet  light or bright light  by wearing sunglasses when outdoors Avoiding the use of contact lenses until your eye has healed Avoiding hand exposure to eye area and washing hands before touching eye area Taking all prescribed  medication as advised by your physician (he may prescribe an NSAID for the pain or antibiotics if you wear contacts, as this can make you susceptible to infection) If the situation gets better, no further action is necessary. If the situation gets worse, see an eye-care professional. Here are the signs to be on the lookout for after removing an item from your eye::  Blurred or double vision Pain that continues or increases Blood that covers part of the iris (or colored part of the eye) Sensitivity to light Other signs of infection such as discharge, redness, sores around the eye, or a fever


Expect some training challenges. Set house rules and stick to them. Be patient when house training your pug.

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

Pugs can be difficult to train. This is because they are strong-willed rather than stupid. In fact, you could say they are highly intelligent because they work out what they want and then go ahead and do it regardless of your opinion. This does not mean you should give up on training, but just be extra patient and be prepared to put in the hours. Thoroughly acquaint yourself with recommended training techniques such as reward-based training. Getting you pug onside with rewards and then getting him to work for those rewards is what will crack the training in the end. If your pug isn't allowed on the furniture, make sure every member of the family applies this rule under all circumstances, even on the weekend. A pug given inconsistent instruction will select the version it prefers and inconsistency will make the training even harder. Pugs have a reputation for taking longer than other breeds to be housetrained. Crate training and using positive reinforcement may help you to housetrain your pug a bit faster.


Expect the corn to mature after 85 to 120 days. Let the corn dry on the stalks. Harvest the corn when it is ready. Store the corn properly for the next two months while it cures. Dry the popcorn in the oven if desired. Do the pop test to see whether or not the corn is ready.

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

Depending on when you planted the corn, this will be around October. It also depends on the species of corn; some species are ready for harvest sooner than others. If the autumns where you live are dry, you can let the corn dry right on the stalks. If the autumn starts to get rainy, harvest the corn, and take it inside, to finish drying. The husks should be dry, and the kernels hard. Pull the corn off the stalks first, then peel the husks off. Place the husked ears in mesh bags. Hand the bags in a dry, warm, well-ventilated area. You can also use nylon stockings instead. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, place the popcorn flat on a large baking sheet, put it into the heated oven, and immediately lower the heat to the lowest setting.  Stir the popcorn occasionally while drying it in oven over the course of five hours.  Then, turn off the oven, remove the popcorn, and allow it to cool overnight. Simply twist a few kernels off of the cob, and put them onto a hot pan. Heat them in some oil as you normally would. If the corn pops, it is ready. If it sticks to the pan, it is not ready and needs to dry/cure longer.


Expect the following characteristics from hyssop:

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

Grows to a height of about 60cm/ 24 inches Will be about half as wide as it is tall Has long-pointed oval leaves of a dark green shade Blooms with purple or blueish, white or pinkish flowers from midsummer to mid-autumn Has a strong aroma (stem, flowers and leaves).


Expect the interviewers to pay the check. Thank the interviewers. Ask about next steps.

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

The interviewers will almost always pay for the meal. Be gracious and thank them when the bill comes. Thank your interviewers when the check is being paid, and when you leave. Following the interview, remember to send the employer a note to thank them for their time and for the lunch. This can usually be done via email. Asking about the next steps in the process shows you are interested and gives you an idea of what to include in your thank you note.  Say something like, “Thank you for you time. What are the next steps, and when should I expect to hear back?”


Expect the plant to take several months to sprout. Start this process in winter or early spring. Place the seeds on a moist paper towel in a plastic container. Keep the seeds moist at 65–75ºF (18–24ºC). Once the seeds finally sprout, prepare a special potting mix. Plant the seeds 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) deep and water in. Keep the sprouts in indirect sunlight and water occasionally. Keep indoors at least two years, transferring to larger pots successively.

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

Yucca seeds are slow to germinate, and many species have a low success rate sprouting at all. The seed may even take a full year after planting to sprout. For a quicker process, take a cutting from an existing adult yucca plant. This method is described in the next section. Yucca seeds planted indoors should be started in winter, to give them as long as possible to germinate before the next winter begins. Planting directly in garden soil is not as effective. If planting directly in garden soil, plant in early spring. Fill a container with approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) of water. Place a paper towel on top of the water, then place your seeds on top of the paper towel. This method increases the odds of the seeds surviving and germinating. Planting the yucca seeds directly in soil has a very low success rate. Keep the container at room temperature, adding a small amount of water periodically to prevent the seeds from drying out and going dormant again. Some of the seeds should eventually sprout, but this can take anywhere from one month to a full year. Once the seeds have opened up and begun to sprout, prepare individual, small pots with a mixture of equal parts sand and compost. If these materials are not available, use any well-draining soil mixture, typically with 30% or more sand or small gravel. Plant the sprouted seeds, sprouting side up, 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) under the soil's surface. Cover it with soil and water the soil thoroughly. Let the first thorough watering almost dry out, then water regularly to keep the soil damp, but not soaked. You should see the sprouts emerge from the soil within a week. The yucca plant may not be sturdy enough to thrive outdoors for at least two or three years. Keep it indoors during this period, or indefinitely. Transplant the yuccas to a larger pot if its roots begin to wrap around the outside of its current pot. Once the yucca plant is two or three years old, you may plant it outside in the springtime, following the instructions in the planting outside section. When...


Expect the same risks and limitations. Make your solution. Scrub light mold with a soaked sponge. Spray more pronounced problems before scrubbing. Repeat with a cleaning brush. Treat deeply rooted problems with cotton coils. Spray the caulk again once cleaned.

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

Ventilate the area as you would when using ammonia. Also be aware that chlorinated bleach has the same difficulty with porous surfaces. Consider bleach as an alternative only if you don’t have any ammonia on hand (or if you would just rather use bleach for whatever reason). If you’ve already tried ammonia, skip the bleach, since it probably won’t do any better of a job. Additionally, keep in mind that bleach and ammonia create toxic fumes when mixed. So if you’ve already sprayed the caulk with ammonia, don’t follow it up with bleach. Measure 1 cup (237 ml) of chlorinated bleach. Pour it into 1 gallon (3.75 L) of water. Stir until it’s evenly mixed. If your mold problem is pretty light, grab a fresh sponge. Soak it in your solution and squeeze out the excess. Then simply scrub the moldy caulk with that. If a quick scrub with a soaked sponge doesn’t do the job by itself, fill a spray bottle with your solution. Mist the moldy caulk and give it five or ten minutes to settle into the caulk. Then wipe it down again with your sponge. If the sponge still isn’t cutting it, spray the caulk again. Give the bleach time to reach the mold’s roots. Then scrub again, only this time use a bristled cleaning brush. If spraying the caulk doesn’t seem to be enough for the bleach to reach the mold’s roots, switch to cotton coils. Soak these in your solution. Place them along your caulk line and nudge them into it with a Q-tip. Leave them overnight so the caulk can soak up as much bleach as possible. Then scrub it down again in the morning. Remove mold and other dirt by wiping down the caulk with a cloth or paper towels. Then spray the area again with your solution and let it be. Prevent new mold from growing by keeping this active agent in place.


Expect to have several conversations. Use an open, educational tone of voice. Keep it age-appropriate. Consider checking out educational books or movies from the library.

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

LGBT issues are complex, so you can't cram all of them into one 20-minute conversation. You will probably have quite a few conversations over their childhood, and that's normal and okay.   If your child seems disinterested, stop talking. They won't learn much if they've tuned you out. You can always continue the conversation another day. If your child is eager and full of questions, this is a sign that they need more information. Try checking out library books, so they can learn more, and your voice can have a break. Your attitude will help shape your children's attitudes, and you can help them feel like it isn't anything to get worked up over. Use the same tone you would to describe why you go grocery shopping every weekend, or why the sky turns red when the sun sets. Young children might want to know why those two guys are holding hands, but may not be able to handle complex issues like workplace discrimination or how sexual attraction works. Whether it's a story about a girl who wanted to hold hands with another girl, or a drama about a teen with two dads, LGBT+ inclusive media can help normalize the idea of different orientations.  Look for age-appropriate reading or viewing material. In general, if your child has seen straight couples do something in a story (e.g. prince and princess kissing), then they might be ready to see LGB couples do it too.


Expect to have trust issues after the betrayal. Secure your accounts and valuables. Consider whether you need to go to the authorities.

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

Your family member has broken your trust. It may be hard to accept, but right now you can expect to not believe much that they say. If this is a first-time offense, or if the theft involves a minor, a firm talking-to might be enough to ensure such an incident doesn't occur in the future. Depending on your relationship with them, they may be able to rebuild the damaged trust later. For now, though, you will have to keep an eye on your things when they are around. It may also help to get some distance from the person until you come to terms with what happened and they are able to make amends. Protect your money and other valuables so your family member can’t steal from you a second time. Keep your bedroom door locked, invest in a home safe, and don’t leave things of value lying around the house. If the theft occurred online, change your passwords and your checking account number. If your family member has stolen your identity, you will need to file a police report in order to remove fraudulent information from your credit report. Reporting your family member may be difficult, but bad credit can haunt you for years, so it’s important to protect yourself from the repercussions of their crime.  If you feel guilty about filing a police report, remind yourself that your family member didn’t feel guilty about stealing your identity and wreaking havoc on your credit. Don’t let their crime turn into your burden. If the culprit is a child or teen, avoid involving any authorities and instead take the chance to talk to this individual about what's right and wrong. You might say, "When people leave things in their home, they expect for them to be where they left them. They feel secure at home. When you take things that don't belong to you from someone's home or any other place, you make that place feel less secure. You also jeopardize the trust you have with that person. You understand what you did was wrong, right?"


Expect to work in a high-stress environment. Develop your multitasking skills. Complete a certificate of qualitative finance, if applicable.

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

Working in finance can be intense and stressful, so you should expect your new job to come with a lot of pressure. Realize that this is just par for the course, and if you aren't the type of person that works well under pressure, becoming a quantitative analyst may not be the right job for you. When you're not at work, take time to relax and relieve stress. Do yoga, meditate, exercise, or read a relaxing book. You'll need to perform a variety of tasks while working as a quant, and may have several projects in the works at one time. For instance, you may need to develop trading strategies, price derivatives, compile reports, and present models to others. Additionally, you may be required to do financial research, statistical coding, and complete risk management projects. Prepare to switch between tasks while keeping track of your progress for each project. A certificate of qualitative finance (CFQ) is not required to work in the field. If your company instructs you to complete the certification, however, you should do so. The certification program is composed of 6 online study modules to be completed within 6 months.  Topics that will be studied include linear algebra, derivatives, calculus, numerical methods, option pricing formulas, and finance modeling. You'll be required to complete a practical programming project at the end of the course.


Expect your baby to lose some or all of their newborn hair. Change your baby's position often to prevent bald spots. Shampoo your baby's hair no more than 2 times per week.

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

Even if your baby was born with a full head of hair, they may lose some or all of that hair by the time they are 6 months old. Do not be alarmed if this happens! It is totally normal. Your baby's new hair should begin to grow in around the same time. Keep in mind that when your baby's new hair does grow in, it may look totally different from their newborn hair. It may have a different color, texture, and thickness. Babies may lose hair in patches from being in 1 position for too long. Make sure to turn your baby's head for them if they have been in 1 position for a while. This will also help to prevent your baby from getting a flat spot on their head. For example, if your baby has been napping on their back with their head turned to the right for about an hour, then gently turn their head so that they are facing towards the left or looking up instead. Shampooing your baby's hair too often may cause it to break more easily and it can also irritate your baby's scalp. It may also lead to frizz, which makes it harder to manage. Babies with African American hair only need their hair washed 1 time per week, while babies with other hair types may need their hair washed twice per week. Start out washing your baby's hair only 1 time weekly. If you notice that their hair looks oily or greasy after a few days, then your baby probably needs you to wash their hair twice per week.


Experience something new. Write down all of your interests and dreams. Create a vision board.

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

The more you travel, learn, and experience, the more you find out about yourself, what you love, and what makes you happy. The discovery of new interests will help you figure out what you want to do with your life.  There are endless experiences you can try. You can plant a garden, take trips around the world, read books, eat new foods, or learn a new language. Do as many new things as you can. Eventually, you will stumble across something that you love. Record anything you have ever wanted to do in your life that you think will make you happy. Once you have your list, put them in order from most desired to least, and start doing them one by one. Don't be afraid to strive for something that may take years to achieve. Time is of little consequence when you are working towards something you truly love. A vision board is a poster with pictures you paste to it of the things you want in your life. The idea is to surround yourself with the places you want to travel, things you want to do, jobs you want to have, or dreams you want to achieve, so your life can begin changing to match those images. By having a visual representation of the things you want, it can help put you in the right mindset to achieve them.


Experience your emotions. Give yourself time to mourn. Be nice to yourself. Talk it out.

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

In the direct aftermath of disappointment, it's important that you experience your emotions. When dealing with anything difficult in life, it's vital to acknowledge your emotional reaction even if it's painful or difficult.  Even your emotions are unpleasant in the wake of disappointment, it's important to let yourself feel them. Your emotional reaction is an important tool when it comes to processing and coping with disappointment. Emotions offer insight into what the event meant to you.  Your emotions may be negative at first. You may be angry, sad, frustrated, and feel discouraged. Allow yourself to experience these emotions fully but remind yourself they are temporary. Try not to analyze your thoughts. Just let them come on their own and silently acknowledge them in your head. It can help to name the thoughts as they come. For example, think to yourself, "Right now, I'm feeling angry. Right now, I'm feeling scared." It's unnatural to expect yourself to bounce back from a disappointment instantly. You need time to take time to mourn what could have been in order to process the disappointment.  It's normal to feel regret following disappointment. There will be an uncomfortable gap between how you wanted things to turn out and reality. It's important you acknowledge this gap.  Try writing down your feelings in a journal. Many people going through setbacks, like breakups or job loss, find they recover from negative feelings quicker when they confront them directly in writing. Take 5 to 10 minutes to just free write your feelings.  Your feelings and thoughts may not necessarily be rational when mourning. You might see things in a very black and white terms. Keep in mind, when confronting your feelings, that they are not an objective analysis of the situation. While it's okay to feel what you're feeling, remind yourself that your emotional response does not define you as a person. Many people have a tendency to be hard on themselves when dealing with disappointment. It's important to be kind to yourself after...


Experiment with Jello shots.

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

Jello shots are a fun way to serve gelatine desserts, and you can make your own lemon drop Jello shots at home. The process involves removing the juice and flesh from inside a lemon and using lemon rind halves to set the Jello. This fun dessert can be either alcoholic or non-alcoholic.


Experiment with an at-home treatment. Use lightening hair spray. Try a lightening cream. Wash your hair with shampoo for blonde hair. Get your hair colored professionally.

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

If you have dark brown hair, you will not be able to transition to a light blonde color without bleaching your hair. Bleaching your hair is not recommended for people who are unfamiliar with hair dye and bleach, as the results can be very drastic (not so much in a good way) and highly damaging to your hair. For a fast and simple solution, try using an at-home hair dye with a color that is a couple shades lighter than your actual desired hair color. Dark hair generally needs to be bleached and lightened before it can be dyed a lighter brown color. This method comes with assumed risk, but it is an alternative solution for quicker results. A lightening hair spray can give your brown hair a lighter tint that builds gradually. However, depending on your natural hair color, some lightening sprays have been known to give hair an orange-y coloring, but if you spray you hair with small amounts of the product, any change should be subtle enough to notice the unwanted change in color and stop use. Usually, the sun brings out the traces of blonde coloring in your hair even more. Lightening creams work well on un-dyed natural hair. You simply leave the cream on your hair for a designated amount of time, and then thoroughly rinse out the cream. There are certain shampoo brands that offer a shampoo made to lighten your hair to a blonder shade. Some of these shampoos are meant specifically for already blonde hair, but you can try some shampoos out to see if they lighten your hair in any way. You may have to experiment with various types and brands to see which shampoo works best with your hair color. This is the safest method to change your brown hair color to a lighter shade and get the results you want. Granted, this method might cost more money, but ultimately it can save you a headache in the end. A professional hairstylist can offer great advice and give recommendations for colors that would look best on you, while causing the least amount of damage. Plus, their professional background and experience level offers a more...


Experiment with different styles and fits. Wear a forgiving top. Compliment your legs with the perfect bottoms. Create curves for a narrow body. Find a suit with proper coverage.

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

Bikinis come in many different colors, patterns, styles, and cuts that all serve to flatter the body differently. If you're not comfortable with a certain fit, don't be afraid to ask a sales associate to help you find the right size and style for your body type. Try not to concentrate on the tag size, as sizes differ from brand to brand and style to style. Keep in mind, mixing and matching bikini tops and bottoms can help you find the best look. Every woman is made differently, and this means you have to figure out what your body needs from a suit to look its best. Finding a bikini top that is supportive, and will be flattering, is key to looking great in a bikini. Here are some tips to follow:  If you are small on top, try tops that have padding or an underwire to accentuate what you do have. You should also look for adjustable straps around the back and shoulders so that you can tighten the top appropriately. Ruffle tops, tri-tops, or bandeau tops are also recommended for you.  If you are bigger on top and need extra support, be sure to look for tops that have underwire and wide should straps. These will fit more comfortably than thinner spaghetti straps. Halter tops may be flattering on you as they highlight cleavage. Stay away from strapless bandeau tops and tri-tops.  If you have wider shoulders, try to balance out your look by playing up the bottom and keeping the top subtle. Wear bright colors, fun prints, and embellishments on your bikini bottom, and look for a top that has wider shoulder straps. Fortunately, bikini bottoms come in many different cuts and styles that can flatter your unique body type. Whether you want to lengthen your legs or add dimension, there is a style for you. Here are some tips to follow:  If you have shorter legs or a shorter torso, find a suit that will elongate you. Try a suit that is cut high on the thigh, which is meant to make legs appear longer. This look works on curvy hips and straight hips. Vertical stripes can also help to visually lengthen the body.  If you have a...


Experiment with different types of cookies. Experiment with different types of chocolate. Add some crunch with cereal. Add some fruit. Give it a chocolate-peanut butter twist. Give it some color and texture with sprinkles. Make some deluxe s'mores by drizzling melted chocolate over them. Finished.

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

Graham crackers are sweet, so other types of sweet crackers or cookies will work too. Try it with vanilla wafers or even chocolate chip cookies. If you are using a vanilla wafer, consider using a mini marshmallow instead, or cutting a larger one in half to make a short marshmallow. Milk chocolate is most commonly used to make s'mores, but white chocolate and dark chocolate may appeal more to you. If you like things really sweet, you might prefer white chocolate, and if you don't like things really sweet, dark chocolate might be the thing for you. You can also use mint-filled chocolate or even peanut butter-filled chocolate. After you have microwaved your s'more, add a sprinkle of your favorite breakfast cereal on top of the melted marshmallow. Quickly place the other graham cracker half on top of it, and press down on it gently. After you have microwaved your s'more, but before you put it together, add a slice or two of banana or strawberry. You can even use both, strawberries and bananas, for the ultimate treat. For extra flavor, spread some strawberry jam or preserves on top of the second graham cracker half before assembling the s'more. Make your s'more as usual, but instead of using regular graham crackers, use chocolate-flavored ones. Instead of using chocolate bars or chocolate spread, use 1 to 2 teaspoons of smooth peanut butter. Fill a small bowl or dish with nonpareil sprinkles (the type shaped like tiny balls). Make your s'more, then dip each of the four edges into the sprinkles. The sprinkles will stick to the melted chocolate and marshmallow, giving it a burst of color. After you have heated and assembled your s'mores, melt some chocolate in the microwave, then drizzle it over the s'mores. Put the s'mores into the fridge for a few minutes so that it can harden, then eat it. For more color, sprinkle some small candies or sprinkles over the melted chocolate before it hardens and sets.


Experiment with different variables. Play with static electricity in other ways. Learn about grounding.

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

Bend water again, but change the variables, one at a time. You can change the water temperature, the size of the comb, the material of the comb, and the amount of water coming out of the faucet. See how different variables affect the result of the experiment. Can you explain why?  Does the temperature of the water affect how much it bends? Does a bigger object make the water bend more? Does the material that the object is made of affect its ability to bend water? How does the strength of the stream flow affect how much it bends? Try rubbing an inflated balloon against your hair as fast as you can. Gently put the balloon against a bare patch of wall and let go. If the balloon picked up enough charge, it will stay there against the wall without falling.  This works because the balloon weighs almost nothing, so gravity barely affects it. The electrical attraction between the balloon and the wall is strong enough to resist the pull of the whole world! You can also tear up tiny bits of paper and pick them up with the balloon. When trying this experiment, you might have put down the comb, then discovered it can't bend water anymore after you pick it up again. Some objects (especially metal ones) can suck up all the extra electrons with a touch, so your comb loses its charge. This is called "grounding." Scientists and engineers use grounding on purpose to protect themselves from electric shocks. You can too:  Wait until a dry day, when it hasn't rained in a while. Static electricity builds up much faster when there is almost no water in the air. Find an object that often gives you a shock. This might be a car after you've been sitting in it for a long time, a metal door handle, or a playground slide. Before touching the object, poke it with something metal like a coin, key, or metal pole (or, before getting out of the car, poke the metal frame). The electrons will quickly flow into the metal you're holding, then harmlessly into you. You can now touch the object without getting shocked. Sometimes, if a lot of...


Experiment with moving all three muscles. Focus on one muscle at first if needed. Move on to the others one by one. Use visual aids if needed. Practice, practice, practice.

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

Don’t worry about mastering any one motion just yet. For now, see if you can move them at all. Once you’ve warmed your face up and isolated where your ears’ muscles are grouped, flex them any which way you can. Alternate between trying to move them up, backward, and forward. If you have instant control over all three muscles, good for you! But if you find that you have far more control over just one or two, focus on those for now. Continue flexing and relaxing each one to strengthen both that muscle and the ones connected to it. As you gain more and more control over the first muscle that you focused on, move on to whichever one feels the most responsive. Practice that by itself at first, and then start alternating between that and the one from before. Then, when both start feeling more natural, move on to the last muscle and repeat. If you’re not quite sure that anything’s happening, don’t rely on feel alone. Set up a mirror so you can watch them in action. Put on a pair of glasses or shades so you can see and feel them move along with your ears. Remember that wiggling your ears is kind of a pointless skill, so expect those muscles to be pretty weak because you’ve never had any reason to engage them. Keep it up even if it doesn’t seem like much of anything is happening when you flex them. Give them time to strengthen so they can work up to the challenge.


Experiment with your own rhythms and patterns. Hambone with both hands. Hambone using your cheeks. Strike your elbows and calves. Slap different areas of your body at the same time. Stomp your feet and clap your hands.

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

There's no rule saying that you must follow one of the patterns described in this article. Experiment with your own moves, rhythms, and patterns until you find a way to express yourself using this technique. While there might be a traditional rhythm for the hambone “song,” hambone itself is a musical technique or practice and not a song. Hambone is simply a form of percussion that uses the human body as an instrument. It has its roots in African-American tradition. As you get more comfortable with hambone motions, creating a more impressive sound and show by striking your body with both hands simultaneously.  When slapping your hambones or thighs, you can use both hands to slap both legs or use them to strike one leg. If you feel like being even more showy, you can swap legs and strike the right thigh with your left hand and the left thigh with your right hand. Another common hambone technique you can incorporate into your own set of rhythms is the cheek slap, made by slapping your cheeks with the fingertips of both hands.  Open your mouth all the way before narrowing your lips into a narrow, rounded opening. Pat your cheeks rapidly using only your fingertips. If you use your palms or fingers, the sound will come out flat instead of rounded. Change the sound as you slap by opening and closing your lips. Opening your lips wider creates a higher pitch and narrowing the opening creates a lower pitch. If you are flexible enough, you can twist your arms and legs as you hambone so that you can strike your elbows and lower calves with your open hands. Get creative and experiment with different slaps on different areas of the body. You can deepen and enhance the sound by striking multiple places of your body simultaneously with two different hands. For instance, you could slap your chest with your right hand while striking your thigh with your left hand, or slap your thigh with a backhanded right hand while striking the calf of your leg with your left hand. The hand clap is a very basic move, but it does create a...


Explain any visuals. Always give oral instructions. Ask students to clap to ask a question. Provide tactile learning experiences. Address all students by name. Give visually impaired or blind students additional time to complete work. Treat all of your students equally. Consider the curriculum.

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

When you are teaching a visually impaired or blind student, it is important to clearly explain all visual materials. For example, if you are showing a picture to illustrate a point, you should describe the image. You could say something like “I have put a picture of Queen Elizabeth I on the board to illustrate the way she was depicted. She is wearing a large gown with a lot of detailed embroidery. This demonstrates her wealth and power.” You should also get in the habit of dictating what you are writing on the chalkboard or whiteboard. This way students who are unable to see the board can still follow along with the material and take notes. Do not provide your students with a handout that contains assignment instructions. Visually impaired or blind students in your class may have difficulty seeing the words and learning what is expected. Instead, you should always give oral instructions for every assignment and activity. Many classrooms rely on visual cues in order to ask questions or get the teacher’s attention. It is very traditional for students to raise their hand if they want to speak during a lesson. Visually impaired or blind students may not notice when their peers raise their hands. Instead, you should replace visual cues with audio cues. For example, you could have students clap twice if they want to ask a question. When you are teaching a class with visually impaired or blind students, you should try and incorporate tactile learning experiences whenever possible. For example, instead of talking about rocks and showing images of different types of rocks, you should actually have physical rocks available in the classroom for the students to touch and handle.  This can also be done with different foods, shells, properties of matter, etc. This will allow your students to explore and learn without relying solely on sight. Students who are visually impaired or blind may not always know who is talking. As a result you should always address students by their name when you call on them to answer or ask...


Explain fasting. Encourage repentance. Teach your child about the significance of water. Emphasize maintaining a close relationship with God.

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

During Lent, Christians “fast” in various ways to connect with and honor Jesus, who fasted for forty days in the desert. Note that during Lent, “fasting” may not always involve food. There are other ways to practice sacrifice and strive for closeness with God.  You don’t have to expect your child to make a huge, symbolic sacrifice for forty days. But you can certainly teach the concept and encourage your child to try it, perhaps by giving up sweets or video games. This period of fasting is also a good time to show solidarity with people who do not have enough food. Take your child with you to donate to a food bank or serve meals at a shelter. For Roman Catholic children, the rules for fasting (before age 18) and meat abstinence (before age 14) typically don’t apply; the rules are more strict (and potentially variable) for Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions. Teach your child that repenting for their sins will lead to a closer relationship with God. They may not understand the value of seeking forgiveness at first. However, by encouraging your child to admit to and apologize for their mischief (fighting with another child, saying bad words, sneaking candy), you can help them grow into a more mature person. Note how it usually feels better to “come clean” after withholding the truth or telling lies to cover up lies. This same feeling of relief and connection can happen when you admit your failings to God and ask for forgiveness. Water is fundamental to human life, but it also represents baptism and the washing away of sin. Place a symbol, such as a bottle of water, in your home, and encourage your child to think and talk about its importance. Point out that, just as plain water can cleanse the body, Jesus is the “living water” that can cleanse the soul. Christians’ eternal lives depend on what they believe and do now. The Lord inspires people to have faith, and expects them to be good to themselves and others. It’s easy to forget about that, but Lent serves as a reminder. Suggest that your child...


Explain how to accurately estimate income and expenses. Make the sample budget relevant for your student or child. Explain the difference between a need and a want. Show them how to make bill payments. Introduce the importance of saving money. Use budgeting resources to simulate real-world scenarios.

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

Make a spreadsheet or write a sample monthly budget with a pen and paper. List total income, and break expenses up into categories, such as car payments, insurance, a cell phone bill, and entertainment. Mention that income and expenses can fluctuate month to month, so tracking them over time is important. For instance, include your teenager’s actual income and spending from last month. List after-tax income from their part-time job and add up their car insurance, cell phone bill, clothes, haircut, and money spent going out with friends.  Start with these basic examples, then introduce a more complex sample budget that includes rent, utilities, and groceries. For younger students, use simple values, such as a $10 weekly allowance and candy, toys, and other small expenses. Tell your learner that housing, utilities, and other core bills are spending priorities. If money’s tight, paying rent or car insurance is more important than going out to eat or buying a new cell phone. Subtract their expenses from income, and discuss how balancing needs and wants impacts their budget. Ask them to identify needs that take priority and wants that can be cut to save money. Mention that the most common ways to pay bills are via check or debit. Show them a physical check and explain how to fill in the date, payee, payment amount, and signature fields. Then go to an online bill payment portal and explain how to fill in debit card billing information. While saving money is a distinct topic with its own lesson plan, you’ll need to mention it when you explain budgeting. Let them know that saving 10 to 20 percent of their income is crucial, and they’ll need to save more of their income as they get older. Include specific reasons to save, such as for an emergency, a down payment on a home, and retirement. After covering the basics, have your learner create and manage hypothetical budgets using smartphone apps. Personal finance simulators can provide accessible, concrete examples and reinforce budget management skills. For example, use...


Explain that this problem shows how an exponent works on 2 cents after one penny is doubled, and you keep doubling from there on. Look at day two so the amount that starts doubling is 2 pennies. Use the exponent function on a scientific calculator to see the doubling calculation after day one instantly.

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

Exponents of a number (the base) means multiply it by itself the number of times stated in the exponent (the power). Because 1 multiplied by itself to any power is still 1, you have to start with a base of 2. Okay now double base of 2 instead of 1. So using base of 2 you can see that 2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 4 x 2 = 8 . So then 2^4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 x 2 = 16, etc. So, raising 2 to an exponent of 30 for the first month (of course the 31st power is on day one of the 2nd month...), and to 61 for the second month solution will give you your number of pennies after two 31 day months. For example, open the Windows calculator accessory, then you can click View and select Scientific and type 2 then press the [xy] key, then type 30 and press the [=] key to see the amount of pennies for the 1st month. To get the feel of using the calculator for that [xy] key, try the calculator for 2 to the 3rd power which is 8, and the 4th power which is 16, the 5th power of 2 is 32, etc. So, 32 pennies is exactly what you would have on day 6 of doubling, using the 5th power, since we had to start using the powers of 2 on day two.


Explain that you are not interested. Block contact. Contact the website administrators. Change your email address. Get evidence of cyberstalking behavior. Involve the police.

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

With everyone everywhere on a smart phone, tablet, or laptop, technology is fast becoming one of the primary ways humans communicate. Social media networks, online forums, and dating websites and chat-rooms are common stomping grounds for creeps who won't take no for an answer. Perhaps you were previously friendly with another user and he said or did something that made you uncomfortable. You have a right to tell him to back off. In the clearest way possible, tell him that you are no longer interested in chatting or maintaining contact. Request that the person stop contacting you. Your request might be as straightforward as "Can you please stop contacting me?" If you have clearly and firmly asked the person to stop contacting you, and he continues anyway, the next step is to block this person from your social media profiles or chat-rooms. Removing this guy as a friend or follower should prevent him from being able to contact you any further.  Sit down and go through each network in which you have had contact with him and block him from being able to view your profile and reach out to you. There are two easy ways to block contact on Facebook. You can visit the person's profile and select Block from the "..." menu. You can also click the padlock symbol on your on profile. The prompt "How do I stop someone from bothering me?" should appear. Select this, and then enter the name or email address of the user you want to block. If you need help blocking an unfriendly user, you can always ask for assistance from the administrators of whatever site you're using. Typically, these customer service agents will make haste of blocking this person and the person will not be able to contact you again. If you gave out your email address, or if it was listed on your user accounts, it might be a good idea to change it. If the person has not been contacting you via email, you may be okay to keep using your current one. If a person online is stalking you, it's important to gather any inappropriate messages, emails, photos, or...


Explain that you could spend more quality family time together if your mate lost weight. Talk about how traveling would become easier. Make a “bucket list” of life-long dreams. Invite your mate to join a team or activity with you.

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

Losing weight could help your mate enjoy activities with your family that were previously unavailable to you due to the restrictions placed on an overweight individual.  Amusement parks and water parks are safer and more accessible when a visitor is of a healthy weight. Playing Frisbee, taking 5K walks or runs as a family team, using the swing set, and chasing after young children are examples of family activities that are easier to perform when an individual is of average weight. Family-oriented events that require stamina or considerable time standing, such as cheering at a child’s daylong sporting event or volunteering at a school fair, will be easier and more pleasant for your mate to participate in once he or she has lost weight. Carrying excess weight can make travel more expensive and less comfortable. By losing weight, your mate can join family and friends in trips with less inconvenience and expense.  Planes often have narrow passenger seats that make air travel uncomfortable for an overweight individual and the passengers traveling next to them. In some cases, significantly overweight passengers are required to purchase tickets for two seats so that they do not infringe on the space of neighboring passengers. Although this can quickly escalate travel costs and be an embarrassment to overweight individuals, this problem can be eliminated with even moderate weight loss in many cases. Travel often requires significant amounts of time walking, standing in line, carrying luggage, climbing steps, and touring on foot. Listing a few travel dreams of your mate and demonstrating how visiting these places would be easier without the strain of excess weight (and thus with increased mobility, stamina, and energy) may help goad him or her into attempting weight loss. Having a concrete list of things you and your mate wish to do together but cannot experience due to the discomfort or inconvenience of his or her excess weight may encourage your mate to drop the extra pounds.  Think of all the places you would like...


Explain that your family needs to stay home as much as possible. Discuss why they’ll do their school work at home. Point out why it’s not safe to have friends over. Tell them to stay at least 6 ft (1.8 m) away from others while out.

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

Your kids probably don't want to spend all of their time at home, so they may be wondering why they can’t play with friends or go to the movies. Tell them that spending time with others and going to public places increases their risk of getting sick or spreading the sickness. Then, reassure them that things will eventually return to normal. Say, “Right now, we need to stay home so we don’t catch germs. When people aren’t getting sick anymore, we can go back to how it was before.” Transitioning from going to school to homeschooling may have been confusing for your kids. They might not understand why they have to stay home, especially if no one at their school got sick. Explain that the school’s administration is trying to keep all of the kids and staff members safe by having them stay home. Additionally, reassure your child that the work they’re doing at home will help them finish their grade level. Say, “I know you really miss seeing your friends at school, but it’s safer for everyone to do school at home right now. Your teacher is still going to grade your work, though, so you don’t need to worry about finishing the school year.” Your kids are likely missing their friends a lot, especially if they’re used to seeing them every day at school. It might be difficult for your children to understand that you’re canceling play dates and banning parties to keep them safe. Help your child understand that being around others increases their risk of catching germs, but remind them that this is only temporary. You might say, “I know you want to visit your friends. I want to visit my friends, too! But being around other people increases your risk of getting sick, so you’ll have to chat online or do a video call instead. Fortunately, you’ll be able to hang out with your friends again in the future.” There will likely be times when your kids are out in public, like while on outdoor walks or possibly in the grocery store. Explain that the coronavirus spreads from respiratory droplets that can travel as far as 6 ft (1.8 m)...
