Choose a good home for your betta. Keep the water clean. Keep the tank out of direct sunlight and away from air conditioning vents. Buy decorations and plants for the tank.

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

Bettas need a tank that holds a minimum of 5 gallons (18.9 L). Bettas also need a heater, as they are tropical fish that prefer temperatures from 76–84 °F (24.4–28.9 °C), and a filter. Be sure to have cycled the filter, too.  Be sure to always check that your heater is working properly because a heater that makes the water too hot for your fish (over 82 degrees Fahrenheit) is also bad for the fish and can harm him. A filter is necessary. For smaller tanks, get a special low-current one. A regular filter in a small tank may create too much current for the fish. Gentle sponge filters are the best as they do not pump water out to powerfully unlike most filters. Do not aerate your fish’s tank, as this might create too much movement in the water for your betta's likings. Betta fish like mostly still or very low current water. Betta are happiest when they have clean water, so be sure to do a 10% water change every week for 5–10 gallons (18.9–37.9 L), twice a week for tanks 2.5 gallons (9.5 L).  A 10% water change means that you remove 10% of the water and replace that amount with clean water. Many people use distilled or spring water, but dechlorinated tap water is better, as drinking water lacks some minerals that are good for fish. Contrary to some beliefs, betta do NOT survive in tiny puddles or filthy environments. Their natural environments are large rice paddies and slow-moving streams. In most cases, the bigger the betta tank, the better. Direct sunlight and air conditioning will make large temperature fluctuations, which are harmful to the betta. Bettas are happiest in water that steadily remains 78-82 degrees Fahrenheit. Betta love having places to hide. Tunnels, caves, and plants (live or artificial) are all great decorations for a betta tank. If you choose artificial plants, silk plants are a great option, as they are less likely to damage a betta's fins. Live plants (called “betta bulbs” at pet stores) are popular and bettas like them, just make sure that they don’t become too big for the tank. They can...


Choose a good location for the first meeting. Make an introduction with the puppy on a leash. Keep up with controlled, short meetings. Continue with leashed interactions until the puppy is calm.

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

After a few days, you can introduce the animals. The introduction should take place in your home. With dogs, initial introductions are often made in a neutral location. Bringing a cat outside the home, however, can cause the cat stress. Choose a room in your home to make the introduction. Make sure the room is large enough to comfortably keep both animals on opposite sides of the room initially. This is best done after your puppy has tuckered herself out with play and exercise, as she will be less rambunctious around the cat. Whilst holding the leash, let the cat into the room. Allow the animals to look at one another.  You may notice some fear or aggression. If the animals are growling at one another, or if the cat bats at the puppy, you're moving too fast. Return to the separation phase for a few more days and try again. Have a favorite toy or treat to distract the puppy if she is showing too much interest in the cat. Do not let your puppy off the leash for the duration of the first meeting. You have to ease into unrestrained contact. An overeager puppy could easily injure a cat. Begin with short encounters and gradually build up. Remember to give each pet attention, affection and rewards for peacefulness.  Try your best to end meetings on a positive note. If neither animal is being aggressive, and they've been in the room together for a few minutes, this is a good place to end the meeting for the day. As time goes on, the cat should become more confident and the puppy should become disinterested in the cat. How long this will take depends heavily on the temperament of both animals. Some dogs and cats will calm down quickly, while others will take more time to relax.  Your cat should be calm with the puppy in the room. He should eat, drink, and use the litter box without hesitance. Your puppy should be largely uninterested in the cat. She should mostly ignore the cat and pay attention to other stimuli. Once both animals are at this state, you can allow them to be in a room together without leashing the puppy.


Choose a good location. Amend the soil only if desired. Obtain a young redbud in a container from a local garden store or nursery. Dig a hole that is four times as wide as the root ball. Remove the redbud tree from its container. Place the tree in the hole. Fill the hole with water and the remainder of the soil. Add mulch to the area.

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

Redbud trees prefer light shade, especially in the summer. The tree is fairly adaptable, however, and can also tolerate full sun. In fact, the more sun it receives during the cold months of winter, the better. The only locations that need to be avoided are those with heavy shade. Redbud trees prefer loose, well-drained soil, but they are very sturdy and can thrive in the majority of soil types. If you do decide to amend the soil, though, you can do so simply by chopping the soil up with a rake or shovel to loosen it. If it is extremely dense or clay-like, you could even mix in some coarse grain garden sand to improve its ability to drain. You do not need to add fertilizer, however, since redbud trees are capable of absorbing nitrogen in through the air. Local stores are more likely to have stock that can withstand the climate you live in. The tree can be difficult to transplant as it gets older, so you should get as immature a tree as possible. The roots need plenty of room to spread out inside the hole. The hole should also be about equal in depth to the height of the roots. Place the tree on its side and gently twist the container off. Keep it as vertical as possible, enlisting the help of another person if necessary. Add a little soil back in to help keep the plant standing straight. Use a garden hose to fill the hole with water. Wait until the roots and the surrounding soil absorb the water before filling the hole with the rest of the soil, covering the roots completely. Give the soil another thorough watering to help the soil settle. Use bark chips or another type of moisture-retaining mulch. Spread the mulch in a thin layer around the base of the tree, above the root area.


Choose a good quality epilator. Shave your legs one to three days prior to epilating. Set aside at least an hour for your first session. Take a painkiller an hour before you begin. Exfoliate your legs in the shower. Decide whether to epilate wet or dry.

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

The quality of your epilator matters. Pick a well-known, well-reviewed brand that you know you can trust. A cheap epilator may not work as well and it may be more painful to use. Since your epilator will last a long time (and you won't have to buy wax and fancy razors) it's worth springing for a good one.  Look for epilators in beauty supply stores. For an even better selection, check online stores. Pick an epilator with plenty of good reviews. If your epilator is cordless, be sure to charge it completely before you begin. You don't want to be stuck with a job half finished when your epilator dies. Epilators work best when your hairs are just a few millimeters long. If your hairs are too long, they can get tangled in the epilator; too short, and there's not enough for the spinning heads to grab as you work. Shaving a few days beforehand is the best way to ensure that your hairs are all the same length and ready to epilate. Once you get used to the process, you can probably do it in half an hour or so. For the first session, though, you'll want to give yourself plenty of time. The process is definitely slower than shaving, but the results will last much longer.  Many people like to epilate at night. Your legs will be red and a little swollen when you're finished. If you epilate at night, they'll return to normal by morning. It's best not to epilate the day you have a big event or date, unless you're planning to wear tights or pants. Do it the day before so your legs won't be red and swollen when you go out. This is optional, but many find it helps to take an over the counter painkiller (according to the recommended dosage) to take the edge off. Epilating feels a lot like waxing; it hurts at first, but eventually you get used to the feeling and may even come to enjoy it. Getting rid of dry skin will prevent ingrown hairs from occurring later. Take a warm shower and exfoliate your skin using a loofah or body scrub. Rub your skin in a circular motion to gently slough away the dead skin. Some people like to...


Choose a good time and place to talk. Confess your feelings directly. Be honest, but kind, if you're not interested. Respond appropriately if he does not have feelings for you.

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

When having a conversation about something delicate, like your feelings for someone, it's important you have the time and space to talk. Find a time when you're both free and there are no external limits on time. Pick a private area, like a quiet bench in a local park. If you're letting the guy know you like him, be direct. There's no sense in beating around the bush and dropping hints. Get directly to the point by saying something like,  "I have feelings for you. Sometimes, I get the sense you also have feelings for me. Am I right about that?" If you're not interested, let the guy down easy. Tell him you appreciate his friendship, but you're not interested in him in a romantic sense. There's no need to be brutal, but you should make it clear a relationship is not happening.  Say something that clearly indicates you don't feel the same way. For example, "I'm not interested in you romantically." If you want to give a reason, that's okay, but be kind about it. For example, if you're not attracted to him, don't say, "I'm not attracted to you." Say something like, "I just see you as friend." If you misinterpreted a situation, this can be embarrassing. Whether the feelings were returned or not, it can be awkward if you thought someone had feelings for if they didn't. Make sure you have a plan to respond in this case.  Accept his response gracefully. In either scenario, you can say something like, "Oh, I guess I misread the signs. Thanks for being honest with me." It's okay to be sad if you were rejected by someone you thought liked you. Take some time to vent to friends and do something nice for yourself, like go see a movie or order take out.


Choose a good time. Speak honestly. Be prepared for mixed emotions. Listen to your spouse.

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

Telling our spouse about your pregnancy is a serious conversation. Having the conversation at the wrong time or in the wrong place can make the talk more difficult. Choose a time when you and your spouse are alone, calm, in a fairly good mood, and can have an in-person talk.  For example, emailing or texting your spouse during work may not be the best idea. Depending on how you feel, you may want to use a creative methods to let your spouse know about your pregnancy. Plainly tell your spouse that you are pregnant. Because you have worked through your feelings before you approach your spouse, you can clearly state how you feel about your pregnancy. Let our spouse know all of the emotions that you are experiencing and the options that you would like to explore.  Share your list of pros and cons with your spouse. This may be easier than relying on your memory and how you feel in the moment. Avoid starting the conversation with a negative tone.  For example, do not say, "I have some bad news for you..."  Try something more positive like, "I appreciate you and the life that we are building together. We are having a new addition to our family." Do not hold anything back. If you do not want to continue with the pregnancy or are unsure about becoming a parent right now, your spouse needs to know that. Your spouse may be feel many of the same emotions that you do. Excitement, fear, nervousness, confusion are all possible. Your spouse also may feel more like a support person and not an equal decision maker because you are the one carrying the baby.  Do not be alarmed by any reaction your spouse has. You have been working through your feelings already; allow your spouse to do the same. If your spouse has a negative reaction, try not to take it personally. Remember that your spouse is emotional and the reaction may not accurately reflect how your spouse feels about you or your child. If the discussion becomes too heated or comes to a stand still, take a break and revisit it later. You and your spouse are in this...


Choose a good topic Learn how to give a presentation.

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

. Avoid controversial topics that are most likely going to cause divisions within the congregation. As the Jumu'ah prayer is a time coming together, you should choose a topic that everyone has a general consensus on. Also avoid complicated topics, such as the nitty-gritty rules of inheritance. The congregation should be able to leave the prayer with a lesson learnt, and if you over explain something or choose something confusing, the congregation won't have learnt or remembered anything. Try to choose a relevant topic. For example, if Ramadan, Eid or the Hajj season is approaching in a few weeks, speak about the virtues of these events. During the Friday prayer, usually double the amount of people that usually visit the mosque come, and there is often a feeling of eagerness to seek knowledge. With that in mind, you need to know that these people have a respect for knowledge, and you should be able to smoothly pass on your knowledge. There are many ways to do this, for example:  Look at the audience. When they feel that you are speaking directly to them, they will feel engaged. Raise your voice to emphasise certain points. This will bring back any attention that may have been lost. Know your verses and hadiths. The worst thing to do when standing delivering a khutbah is being unable to recite a certain verse, mispronouncing the verse, or forgetting a verse. Not only will this cause a commotion, but it will also cause you to lose attention. Come prepared beforehand; revise the verses or narrations you are going to say. This is also especially important because you don't want to constantly be looking at your piece of paper. Learn as much of the English as you can by heart, and definitely memorize the Arabic. Remember: if you misread a verse, you may change the meaning, so be careful, and don't be afraid to have a quick glance at your notes to remind you of the words. Going over the English is just as important as going over the Arabic; if English isn't your mother-tongue, it may be best to avoid words that you...


Choose a green-tinted concealer. Buy concealers specifically designed for redness.

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

When choosing a concealer, opt for those that are green-tinted; green is the opposite of red, which is why a green concealer offsets and neutralizes red spots.  Apply the concealer to the area you wish to neutralize and blend the edges for an even finish Make sure to work with thin layers of the product. It will be just as difficult to cover massive amounts of green as it is to cover the redness. Once you apply the product, go over with your regular foundation. Or apply the foundation first and then the concealer (see next section for full steps). These type of concealers cover up red spots resulting from acne breakouts or scars or even skin conditions, such as rosacea. Apply the concealer directly over red skin imperfections and blend together to create evenness.


Choose a gym Find a gym that speaks to your weaknesses. Evaluate the gym’s attitude toward sparring. Move to an area with a high concentration of gyms.

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

where you and the team have great chemistry. Joining a good MMA team is one of the most important things any fighter can do. If you do not have good training partners and a good coach, then you won't get very far in this sport. Find a coach and team that have produced the results you are looking for in your own training and stick with them.  When looking for the right gym, you need to meet people that train there. Watch a practice and learn whether or not you gel.  Sit with coaches, talk about the goals you have as a fighter, and learn whether or not the gym is the place you want to call your home. The strength of a gym has an inverse relationship to deficiencies you have as a fighter. Unless you’re training at a gym that offers you the opportunity to address weaknesses and round yourself out as a better fighter.  For example, if you’re from a Muay Thai background, you might want to train somewhere that helps you with wrestling to make you a better MMA fighter all around. Becoming as varied as possible in your skill set as a fighter will help you become the best. A gym that teaches you a combination of boxing and jiu jitsu is a great starting point.  Assess the size of the guys that train at the gym you’re looking into. If you look at them and feel you need bigger guys to fight, choose a gym that addresses that need. Fighting bigger guys is crucial to giving you the best idea of what it’ll be like to fight someone in a cage match. Make sure that there is a line between training and hurting yourself and/or others. Be sure that the coach keeps an eye on how everyone is relating to everyone else.  The environment should facilitate one where everyone is going 110% at any given time during sparring opportunities. The environment should also be one where everyone cares about each other so that no one is ever seriously hurt. Training is preparation, not actual MMA fighting matches. If you want to become a MMA champion, but you don't live near excellent gyms, you might have to sacrifice being close to home. If it...


Choose a hair cut which will suit the shape of your face. Choose long layers if you have a round face. Opt for a pixie cut if you have a round face and you want short hair. Choose angled layers if you have a square face. Go with a collar-bone length cut for a heart-shaped face. Ask for a shoulder-skimming cut with a side part for an oval face. Maintain your cut with a trim every 6-8 weeks.

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

In addition to your curl pattern and your hair texture, various cuts will look different on you depending on the shape of your face. Pull your hair away from your face and take a self-portrait or trace the shape of your face on a mirror.  If your forehead is the widest part of your face, you likely have an oval face. If your cheeks are the widest part of your face, you may have a round face shape. You have a square face shape if you have a wide jaw. If you have a wide jaw but a pointed chin, you have a heart-shaped face. Long layers can help slim a round face, and they look good on almost all curl types. Your hair will appear to be mostly the same length, but your stylist will add a little texture and length with the layers.  A deep side part paired with long layers is especially flattering to round face shapes. Long layers can work with a variety of different lengths. Pixie cuts made of tousled curls can be extremely flattering to a round face. It will bring the focus to your eyes and the apples of your cheeks. This style is fairly low-maintenance, but you may need to use a little product to get your curls to cooperate at this shorter length. The angular lines of a square face look best when they’re balanced with soft layers.  When you’re choosing a length, pick a cut that falls above or below your chin. Cuts that end at the jawline add width to your face. Consider asking your stylist to add a few short layers around your forehead to add bounce to your style. Full curls around your shoulders will balance out the width of your forehead and will bring attention to your delicate chin. Depending on the shape of your curls, you might want a few light layers at the bottom to avoid having triangle-shaped hair when it dries. Another option for a heart-shaped face is a chin-length bob, which will create flattering fullness around your jawline. Oval faces are more narrow, and a side part will enhance your cheekbones and play up your curls. Layers which add volume to the sides of your hair can also help balance out the...


Choose a hair treatment. Wet your hair slightly. Rub the treatment into your hair. Wait while the treatment works on your hair. Untangle the easiest knots with your fingers.

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

Ordinary conditioner is worth trying if you haven't already, but if your hair is severely matted, you may need to resort to another option. Deep conditioners are great at restoring moisture to your hair and making them easier to untangle, while detangling conditioners are meant specifically to add more slip to your hair. Coconut oil, olive oil, or Moroccan argan oil can be used instead, and may be especially useful for afro-textured hair. If you dislike the feel of oil in your hair, you can try a hair detangling spray. While some people use mayonnaise, this may cause an unpleasant smell and is less effective than other options. Dampen your hair with a spray bottle of water, or briefly holding it under a shower or sink at low water pressure. Most hair treatments are meant to be applied to damp hair, but if you let the hair become dripping wet, it may be more susceptible to breakage. Take a handful of the chosen treatment, or use up to two handfuls if you have hair that grows past your shoulders. Apply the treatment thoroughly to all parts of your hair, including the ends. Rub it in to each section of your hair separately, rather than across your entire scalp at once, to avoid tangling your hair further. If using ordinary conditioner, it will finish moisturizing your hair within a few minutes. Coconut oil and similar oils should be left in for at least 30 minutes for maximum effect, but no longer than 2 hours. Deep conditioners vary as shown on the packaging instructions, but are typically left in for at least an hour, and may be left in overnight for extreme cases. To keep your hair tidy and out of way, wear a plastic shower cap, or a plastic bag fastened with a hairband. Optionally, a tight-fitting hat over the plastic may help hasten the process. Once the hair treatment has had time to take effect, attempt to gently pull apart the tangled sections of your hair. Small knots or loose mats can sometimes be pulled into smaller, separate tangles from the root side of the knot, nearer to your scalp. Don't expect...


Choose a hand. Interpret the heart line. Examine the head line. Evaluate the life line. Study the fate line.

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

In palmistry, it is thought that:  For females, the right hand is what you're born with, and left is what you've accumulated throughout your life. For males, it is the other way around. The left hand is what you're born with, and the right is what you've accumulated throughout your life. That being said, you can also choose whichever hand is dominant to be your present/past life hand (the non-dominant hand would then be your future life hand). There are different schools of thought on the matter. Some say the left-hand shows potential and what could be -- not necessarily what will be. And a difference in the hands could mean one is or is about to take action when it comes to their lives, changing it. This line can be read in either direction (from the pinkie finger to the index finger or vice versa) depending on the tradition being followed. It's believed to indicate emotional stability, romantic perspectives, depression, and cardiac health. The basic interpretations are as follows:  Begins below the index finger - content with love life     Begins below the middle finger - selfish when it comes to love     Begins in the middle - falls in love easily     Straight and short - less interest in romance     Touches life line - heart is broken easily     Long and curvy - freely expresses emotions and feelings     Straight and parallel to the head line - good handle on emotions     Wavy - many relationships and lovers, absence of serious relationships     Circle on the line - sadness or depression     Broken line - emotional trauma     Smaller lines crossing through heart line - emotional trauma    This represents a person's learning style, communication approach, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge. A curved line is associated with creativity and spontaneity, while a straight line is linked with practicality and a structured approach. The basic interpretations are as follows:  Short line - prefers physical achievements over mental ones     Curved, sloping line - creativity     Separated from life line -...


Choose a heavy duty machine. Break up the ice. Read the owner’s manual. Plan your route. Start your snow blower in a ventilated area. Move the snowblower slowly over the area you are clearing.

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

Snowblowers can possibly handle some ice and save your back from shoveling injuries.  If there are chunks of ice mixed in with your snow, the right snow blower can handle the job.  Avoid single-stage blowers which use paddles and choose a dual-stage snow blower, which employs augers.  Some augers have sharper or longer teeth, which are useful in breaking up the ice. Gas blowers tend to be more reliable and stronger than electric blowers. Snow blowers will not be able to remove a sheet of ice.  This will likely register as solid ground and the blower will roll over it.  Break up large sheets of ice with a shovel before using the snow blower. Each snow blower will come with different controls, options and instructions.  Be sure that you understand all of the moving parts and how to use them by reading the instruction manual before using the blower.  Pay specific attention to how to operate the auger, chute direction, drive clutch and steering levers. Prepare the snowblower with gasoline, oil, stabilizers or necessary extension cords. Look for accessories which may have come with your snow blower, like blades, skid shoes and shear pins. Know where you want to place the snow and ice.  Decide which side of the sidewalk you would like to blow and pile the snow.  Never blow ice and snow toward cars, houses or other people.  Don’t move the snow from your sidewalk into someone else’s path.  If it is a windy day, don’t blow the snow into the wind.  This will blow it back in your direction. Avoid picking up and shooting gravel through the blower.  If you are clearing a gravel surface, leave a little snow on top of the gravel by lifting the necessary blades or augers to a height which does not reach completely to the ground. You will want to start the snowblower outside or in an open area.  If you are in a shed or a garage, make sure that the doors are open to let exhaust out. Use both hands to push the blower at a slow and steady pace, much like mowing the lawn.  Follow your planned route and take care when making...


Choose a hide. Set up a basking spot. Add water and food bowls.

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

Hides are commonly ceramic and made to resemble a rock, cork, or bark. These have the ability to absorb some of the vivarium heat, which makes it a cozy retreat for the dragon. The hide should be big enough for the adult dragon to fit comfortably inside and be able to turn around. You need to provide a basking spot, which is a place the dragon can climb up to get closer to the heat source when he wants to warm up quickly. This could be something as simple as placing the warm end hide under the heat lamp, so the dragon can climb on top to bask if he wishes.  You can also arrange tree branches in a position to allow the dragon to climb up to be near the heat source. Always make sure the dragon is at least six inches from the heat source. Direct contact will cause serious burns. In addition, if the heat lamp bulb is exposed within the vivarium, enclose it in a safety cage so the dragon is not able to directly contact the hot bulb. Your pet needs to be able to eat and drink comfortably in his vivarium. Put in a large, ceramic water bowl with a low lip so the dragon can drink if he chooses. Also get a large ceramic bowl in which to place vegetables or live food as appropriate for your dragon.


Choose a high, broad angle for your camera. Mount your camera to the wall. Attach your camera to a power source. Attach a wired camera to your DVR. Link wireless cameras to your computer. Attach the monitor to the DVR. Troubleshoot any connection issues.

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

The best angle of any room is usually looking down from the corner where the ceiling meets the walls. Make sure you can clearly see all entries and exits and that the camera is near a power outlet. If you are mounting a camera outside, place it above 10ft so that it cannot be easily knocked down. Some cameras come with sticky pads to adhere your camera to the wall, but screwing your camera in is the safest way to mount your cameras long-term. While every camera is different, most of them can be mounted the same way:  Place the mount in its desired location. Using a sharpie, make marks on the wall where each screw should go. Drill a hole for each screw using an electric drill Hammer in any molding pins. Screw the mount into the wall. Position the camera to your desired angle. Almost all cameras come with a power adapter that plugs into a normal wall socket. Plug the small, round end into the power input on the back of the camera and plug the other end into the outlet. If your power adapter is missing or broken, contact your manufacturer. Surveillance equipment is connected using a BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) connection. BNC cables are simple to use -- they are identical on both sides and you simply plug them into the appropriate port, turning a small nut on the end to lock it in place. Plug one end into your camera's "Output" and the other into one of the DVR "Input" ports.  Note which input you plug into -- this is the input your DVR must be set to in order to view your camera's video. If your cable does not have a BNC connection you can buy a simple BNC adapter online or at a hardware store. This will slip onto the end of your cable to make it BNC compatible. Wireless cameras will come with a software disc that you need to install to view your feeds. Follow the on-screen instructions to access your cameras.  Some cameras have a small receiver that attaches to your computer through a USB port. Make sure this is properly attached. Write down your camera's IP address (ex. 192.168.0.5) if provided -- this...


Choose a high-efficiency laundry detergent. Select a cold water laundry detergent when using cold water. Use the water temperature to decide on powdered or liquid detergent. Purchase an environmentally friendly detergent.

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

High-efficiency washing machines use less water than traditional washing machines, and specialized high-efficiency laundry detergents must be used when washing clothes in such a machine.  However, most high-efficiency detergents can also be used in traditional washing machines, too. Cold water laundry detergents are specially designed for use in cold water.  If you are washing new clothes that are colored, you’ll need to wash them in cold water to prevent color bleeding.  Cold water detergents generally work best in water between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 24 degrees Celsius).  Adjust your washing machine’s water temperature to the appropriate temperature range, if possible. Washing your brand new clothes (or even your older clothes) in cold water can save energy, which means you save money. Powdered detergents are best in cold water.  Liquid detergents mix better with warm or hot water. You might have to hunt a bit to find powdered detergents.  They are becoming increasingly rare. Traditional detergents often contain chemicals that could be discharged into local waterways, affecting aquatic life and, potentially, the communities that use those waterways.  Fortunately, there are many environmentally friendly detergents that use nontoxic alternatives or, at the very least, fewer chemicals.  Choose one of these to reduce your negative environmental impact. You can often identify an environmentally friendly detergent by its name.  Look for detergents with names preceded by the prefix “eco” or “bio.”


Choose a hotel that has a fitness center and/or swimming pool. Use the hotel’s swimming pool for a water-based workout. Stream a workout on your laptop, if you decide to bring it. Do a basic cardio and body resistance workout in your hotel room. Use resistance bands. Do yoga Go for a walk around your hotel or its grounds.

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

Many hotels give guests access to treadmills, stationary bikes, ellipticals, weight machines, and free weights. This offers you an easy solution for your fitness needs. Simply start your day with a gym workout or get your work out in before settling in for the night.  It's best to call ahead to ask the hotel about their facilities. The hotel staff may also be able to provide you with information about local parks and trails. Check the hours on the fitness center so that you can plan the best time to go. If you aren’t familiar with a piece of equipment, ask the fitness trainers to teach you how to use it. If no fitness trainers are present and you're all alone, it's best to leave the piece of equipment alone to avoid unnecessary injuries. Even if you don’t see a fitness center, your hotel may have a contract that allows guests to access facilities nearby. Always ask the front desk or concierge service to be sure. Swimming is a great way to stay fit. It works several different muscle groups and burns a lot of calories. Not only that, swimming is fun and can be done alongside your whole family, if that’s a concern. Here are some ways to kick it up a notch:   Swim laps around the pool.  Incorporate water aerobics. Walk around the perimeter of the pool to take advantage of the water resistance. A short video workout can be an awesome way to stay fit when travelling. There are a variety of workouts you can try, ranging in length from 7 minutes to 60 minutes. Choose a workout that fits your goals and interests.  Look for workouts such as Zumba, yoga, Tae Bo, kickboxing, or low-impact cardio. You may also be able to stream a workout on your hotel TV, or you could look for a fitness channel, if the hotel has cable on on-demand TV. If you don’t have access to a streaming service or YouTube, you could bring a workout DVD in your luggage. Getting your heart rate up is all you need, so get creative in your hotel room. Increase your heart rate with jumping jacks, jogging in place, or dancing along to your favorite songs....


Choose a household product to use. Start a load of wash. Pour a cup of your chosen product into the water. Hang the clothes outside to dry.

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

Clothes with a mild musty smell can often be treated using a common, nontoxic household product. This method is also best for delicate fabrics that can't be bleached.  If your clothes have mold spores, they won't stop smelling musty until the spores have been killed. Check around your house to see which of the following mold killing products you have on hand:  White vinegar Borax Baking soda Put the musty clothes in your washing machine with the amount of detergent you normally use. Let the washer fill with water as the cycle begins. Allow it to completely fill before continuing.  It's best to use hot water to ensure the mold spores get killed. If you're washing clothing that can't be washed in hot water, try using cold water instead. You may have to wash the clothes more than once to get rid of the smell. Once the washer has filled with water, pour in a cup of vinegar, borax or baking soda. Pour it straight into the water so it will get evenly dispersed. Finish running the wash cycle as usual.  Each of these items has properties that help to kill mold spores and remove bad smells. If the clothes are particularly musty, you can use baking soda and vinegar together. If you aren't able to pour the product straight into the water, mix it with a cup of hot water and use the liquid detergent dispenser. Drying your clothes on a line in the sun will help to kill any remaining spores and freshen the smell of the clothing. Even during the winter, you can dry your clothes outside on a sunny day. Try to place them in an area that gets full sun and wind.  If it's raining outside, you'll need to use your dryer instead. This isn't ideal, since the dryer is an enclosed space that doesn't allow fresh air to flow through your clothes. If your clothes come out of the dryer still smelling musty, wait for a sunny day to wash them and dry them outside.


Choose a hyaluronic acid cream to lock in moisture. Look for a concentration of at least 0.1% hyaluronic acid in your cream. Add hyaluronic acid to your existing moisturizer. Apply as often as required.

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

Since moisturizing creams sit on the surface of the skin, they work to hold moisture within the skin’s surface. Adding hyaluronic acid moisturizer to your existing skincare regime will give you the best results from your hyaluronic acid treatment. Any less than this and you’ll reduce the effectiveness of the moisturizing cream. Studies show that this level of hyaluronic acid is effective for hydrating skin and maintaining skin elasticity. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to keep to lower strength hyaluronic acid formula so you don’t risk a reaction or dryness. If you have a moisturizer that works for your skin already, simply add hyaluronic acid to this to utilize its benefits. Research the ingredients in your product to ensure you’ll achieve the correct concentration of hyaluronic acid. It is safe to use hyaluronic acid every time you follow your skincare routine. This will depend on your individual routine and requirements, but the addition of hyaluronic acid will not affect these timings.


Choose a hydrangea variety. Plan to plant in the spring or fall. Find a good planting spot. Enrich the soil with compost. Dig a wide hole in the soil. Plant the hydrangea.

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

In order to figure out what type of hydrangea to plant, you'll need to figure out which variety is best for your gardening zone. Start by looking at a planting zone hardiness map to determine the number of your zone. There are hundreds of varieties of hydrangeas to choose from. If this is your first time planting these beautiful flowers, you may want to choose from among these common varieties that are known to be hardy and produce long-lasting blooms.  Mophead and lacecap hydrangeas, or "bigleaf" hydrangeas, don't do as well in colder regions unless you take measures to protect them from frost. Look for the "Endless Summer" mop-head variety at your local nursery - it's a type of mophead hydrangea that blooms more than once over the summer. This type of hydrangea produces large balls of pink or blue blossoms that deepen in color over the course of the season. The oakleaf hydrangea grows well in places with very hot summers without too much moisture. It is hardy through zone 4b/5a. This type of hydrangea has white blossoms. Annabelle hydrangeas are more cold hardy than mophead or oakleaf hydrangeas, can still grow in zone 3. This type of hydrangea has white blossoms that turn light green later in the season. Peegee hydrangeas can grow hardy even further north than Annabelles - all the way up to zone 3a. They are also able to grow in southern zones. They have white blossoms. Planting in one of these milder seasons will give the hydrangeas time to acclimate to the soil conditions and take root before the weather gets more extreme. Look for hydrangea plants in your nursery in early spring or early fall. Hydrangeas are easy to grow either in planting beds or in large pots. Whichever method you choose, you'll need a spot that gets full sun in the morning and partial shade in the afternoon. Bigleaf hydrangeas will grow in complete partial shade, so choose this variety if you have a shady yard. Hydrangeas need rich, well-drained soil that is kept moist. If you're working with dry or depleted soil, get it ready for...


Choose a jar to catch the filtered water. Hold the filter over the container. Wait for the water to flow into the jar. Let the water cool before storing it in a clean, air-tight container.

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

Make sure that the jar is clean and large enough to hold the water you plan on filtering. If you don't have a jar, try using a bowl, cup, pot, or a mug. The cap should be pointing towards the bottom of the container. If your jar has a large opening, try setting the water filter down on top of it. This way, you won't need to hold the filter. If you made a handle for your filter, hang the filter up now. Place the jar right under it. This will take about seven to ten minutes. As the water passes through the different layers, it will become cleaner. Do not leave the water standing for long, or new bacteria may form inside it.


Choose a jigsaw blade for cutting curved lines. Create a paper template to guide your cut. Trace the shape onto the laminate and make the cut.

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

Obstacles usually require irregular or curved cuts to be made. The jigsaw is the ideal cutting tool for this. Use a jigsaw with a standard blade or, if you’re cutting flooring, use one with a laminate flooring jigsaw blade with fine teeth. The fine teeth will reduce the likelihood of chipping the laminate. Making a template will help you get the curved cut just right and prevent wasted laminate. Hold a piece of paper up against your obstacle and trace around the object. Cut the shape out of the paper. Put the paper template back down next to the obstacle to confirm the accuracy of the shape.  You may need to make several attempts before you get the template exactly right. Instead of creating a paper template, you can also use a forge profile gauge. Push the gauge up against the obstacle to get the shape, then transfer that shape onto the laminate by tracing it with your marker. Use your paper template to trace the required curved shape onto the piece of laminate with the non-permanent marker. Use the jigsaw to carefully cut along the marked line. Hold the jigsaw vertically, which will help the blade make a smooth cut from one side of the laminate to the other.  After you make the cut, hold the laminate up to the obstacle to confirm it will fit around it exactly right. Use a damp cloth to wipe off any remaining ink from the laminate’s surface. If you’re cutting a circle, drill a hole in the center and cut an X-shape towards the edges. Score the edge with a utility knife so you can snap off the pieces individually.


Choose a job that fits your passions. Practice your craft until you get good at it. Create a business plan. Select a name for your business. Register your business if it is required in your area. Secure funding for your business. Network Build your income stream by improving your visibility.

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

Ideal jobs involve something you enjoy doing. Since you enjoy the subject or activity, chances are you already have some knowledge about it. It doesn’t matter how obscure your choice is. You can always change your plans later if you don’t think they will work out.  For instance, many computer developers got their start from an interest in technology. Combining interests may help you come up with a unique idea. You can open an online store crafting and selling merchandise from your favorite movie or video game series, for example. Another way to choose an idea is to see what services are lacking in your area. If your area has a demand for dog walkers but no one has filled that role yet, you can step in. Be the best you can be so you can continually attract new customers. Study the good or service you wish to provide. Read about it and try doing what you want to do before you monetize it. You should seek to improve your product before and after you start your business. Expect to make mistakes along the way, but use these as learning experiences rather than failures.  For example, if you want draw for commissions, you may not be the world’s best drawer at first. With practice, you can become more talented and attract more business. Try taking classes online or at a local school. Whether you want to weld rings or start a translation service, professional instruction can help you improve your skills, Writing down your ideas can help you find a cohesive vision for your business. A business plan describes what your company will sell and how it will sell it. Write out other aspects, such as who will work for you, where you will put your funding, and how you will overcome challenges you face.  Your plan doesn’t have to be big and comprehensive at first. Do your best with it for now, then edit it as your business grows. Having a plan can be useful if your business grows. Many investors will need to see a plan before they give you money. Most businesses have a unique, catchy name that is easy for customers to remember....


Choose a kit that fits your budget. Brush and floss your teeth. Squeeze a teardrop-sized amount of peroxide gel into the whitening tray. Insert the trays. Wear the trays based on the type of gel you are using. Remove the trays and brush your teeth again. Clean your trays with a cotton swab and some cold running water. Wait for results.

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

You can get store-bought kits for $20 to $50 at your drugstore or supermarket. Store-bought kits contain one-size-fits-all trays that you adjust to mold to your teeth. Kits from your dentist's office may cost about $300. Your dentist will create trays that are created from custom molds of your teeth so the whitening gel spreads equally on the entire tooth surface. Check to see that your trays are free of moisture. Excess gel in the tray may squeeze out into your mouth and irritate your stomach if you swallow it, or can irritate your gums. If gel squishes out onto your gums, wipe it off with a paper towel. The length of time you wear the trays will depend on which type of gel you use. There are some tips and tricks you can use with each gel to enhance their whitening abilities.  For carbamide peroxide gel: 10, 15 or 16 percent gel can be worn for two to four hours, twice per day. If you experience no sensitivity, you can wear it overnight. If you are using 10 percent carbamide peroxide gel, replace the gel after one hour of use and then continue wearing for the remaining time. This may speed up the process, but remember it can only be done with the 10 percent preparation. 20 to 22 percent gel can be worn 30 minutes to one hour, twice per day. Avoid wearing a strong carbamide peroxide gel overnight.   For hydrogen peroxide gel: use the trays for 30 minutes to one hour, twice per day. Hydrogen peroxide is sensitive to any source of intense light, and causing it to become more active. You can buy a home whitening lamp from the internet for just $10. If you're having some problems with sensitivity, use toothpaste that is specially designed for sensitive teeth or use a sensitivity gel. Store the trays in their holders so that they can air dry. Then, store your remaining gel in a cool, dry place. You'll see your teeth start to look whiter in 1 to 2 weeks.


Choose a kit. Pour the colorant into the palette.

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

Several companies, like Bramble Berry and Mixify, now have “make your own nail polish” kits that come with colorants, glitter, nail polish base, and supplies for doing the project like a scoop, funnel, and palette. These kits cost between $30 and $40 each. Select a kit from a beauty supply store or order a kit online. Open the containers of colorant that you want to use. Pour a small amount of the chosen colorant powders into separate depressions in the palette.


Choose a large area where you can make a mess. Protect the walls with plastic sheets. Set up a variable speed, oscillating fan. Set up additional lighting.

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

Though you’ll take steps to protect this area, don’t create the paint booth somewhere where an errant paint stain will be a big problem. A garage or storage area would be your best options. You can buy plastic sheeting at any home improvement store like Lowe’s or Home Depot. Make sure you buy enough to protect the whole area.  Use thumbtacks or a hammer and nails to hang the sheeting up on the walls. Use masking tape to secure the bottom of the sheet to the floor. This will prevent the sheets from billowing out and allowing paint to stain the wall. Place it somewhere where it will blow fumes out of the room or space, so you don’t inhale too much of it. It’s important that you can see what you’re doing, so place extra lights in the area where you’ll be working. Floor lamps would work well, but you can place side table lamps or desk lamps on a flat, elevated surface, as well.  You can also increase the brightness in the room by adding reflective materials such as aluminum sheets or mirrors on the walls.


Choose a large cage with a solid floor and plenty of vertical space. Set large feed and water containers in the cage. Add a variety of perches to the cage. Put litter in the bottom of the cage. Place the cage in a warm, quiet area.

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

Aim for a cage that is at least 18 inches (46 cm) long and 12 inches (30 cm) wide. Keep in mind, you'll be housing more than the 2 birds you buy, so you'll need plenty of space. A solid bottom to the cage is important because finches like to feed on the floor. They should be large enough to fit four finches in it, as the finches will take baths in the water container. You can set these on the floor of the cage if you prefer but leave space for the birds to forage, as well. Place perches throughout the cage at different heights. The final perch should be 6 inches (15 cm) from the top of the cage so the birds can roost.  Add plenty of perches but not so many that the finches can't fly around the cage. Also, don't set perches directly over the food and water dishes, as that can lead to the birds contaminating the dishes. You can use dowel rods or even large twigs. Aim for a width of 0.2 inches (0.51 cm) or so. Try attaching some perches just on one end. That gives the perch a little give, which provides the finch with exercise. Finches generally won't pay that much attention to toys, but you can use small toys meant for birds if you'd like, as well. They may enjoy swings or ladders. You can use sand or wood chips or shavings. The birds will often feed on the bottom of the cage, and they will dig through the litter you put down. Whatever you use, you will need to change it regularly, at least once a week. Too much noise can alarm your finches, and they may not want to breed. Set them in an area where they can get some peace and quiet, away from the heavy traffic in your house. Also, put them in an area that's not too drafty.


Choose a large corporate bank. Avoid rolls with coins returned in bulk. Look for banks that have hand-rolled half dollars as opposed to machine-rolled coins. Trade in cash for coin rolls at the bank. Search your rolls for rare half dollars. Develop a good relationship with local bank tellers.

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

To find silver half dollars, you'll want to find a bank with circulated coins rather than freshly-minted coins. The best banks for circulated half-dollars are big-name banks with businessmen patrons. Corporate banks deal with large amounts of circulated coins and will have more on hand. Banks that specialize in merchant business will often sell coin rolls to non-account holders. Smaller banks may be more reluctant. If your bank says that one person returned a large sum of half-dollars, they have probably been searched. Ask for rolls that have come from a variety of sources. These are more likely to have older coins. The latter are usually from the Federal Reserve and were recently minted. New half dollar coins are useless to you, as any half dollar minted after 1970 will not have silver. Ask your bank teller if these coins were newly-minted before you exchange cash for them. After you've contacted local banks, visit them and trade your money for half dollar rolls. If this is not your personal bank, bring paper cash to trade for the coin rolls. Keep track of the rolls so you can trade them back in after you've searched them. Ask the bank tellers to give you the rolls that appear to have been sitting there the longest or are at the bottom of their stacks. You'll be more likely to find older coins. Remember key markers of a rare half dollar to find coins minted when the Federal Reserve used silver. Take care to search all your coins carefully and thoroughly. If you're unable to focus, consider searching the rolls at another time.  Don't search all the rolls at once. Take breaks in-between rolls to avoid carelessly missing a silver half dollar. Store unwrapped coins in a specific place so you can return them to the bank later. Losing track of coins can add up over time, and you do not want to make coin collecting an overly-expensive hobby. Frequent the same banks when trading your money for coin rolls. Over time, get to know the tellers and let them know what half dollars you're searching for. Ask them if they'll...


Choose a large hook. Pick out a ball of yarn. Sit in a bright, clear area.

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

Larger hooks are easier to hold and manipulate, so they're your best option when you're still learning basic techniques.  Look for an H, I, or J hook. If you're shopping for hooks marked according to millimeter range, these would be 5 mm, 5.5 mm, and 6 mm, respectively. You can choose a slightly larger or slightly smaller hook, but make sure that it fits comfortably in your hand. Look for a chunky yarn and select any color that appeals to you.  When learning how to crochet as a kid, it's best to use a simple yarn in a solid color. Avoid patterned yarn until after you've learned the basic techniques. Worsted weight and chunky/bulky weight yarns are easiest to work with, especially for beginners. They are also more suitable for use with larger hooks. The yarn should also be fairly smooth. For the time being, avoid strands that are super fuzzy since they can be more difficult to grasp and work with. Sit down at a table in  a well-lit location. Remove everything from the table except for your yarn, crochet hook, and a pair of scissors.


Choose a large pot. Add extra gravel to the container. Plant the seeds deep enough.

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

While container gardens do not provide the most beneficial set of conditions for kidney beans, these plants can grow inside of containers when taken care of properly. For each kidney bean plant, you will need a pot with a diameter of 12 inches (30.5 cm).  When choosing to grow kidney beans in containers, you should opt for a bush variety instead of a pole variety. Bush varieties tend to do better in more confined spaces. The main reason that kidney beans are not typically grown in containers is simply that the yield of an average plant is not enough for one person. You will usually need to plant six to ten plants if you want to supply yourself with enough beans for regular use. You should only plant one kidney bean plant per pot, however, so you will need six to ten separate pots if you plan on producing enough for yourself. Before you add any soil to the container, you will need to spread a layer of gravel at the bottom to improve drainage. Otherwise, kidney bean plants can quickly become waterlogged inside of pots. As with a standard garden, you need to plant a kidney bean seed 1 to 1-1/2 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) deep. Sow the seed in the middle of the pot.


Choose a lean cut of meat.

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

When making beef jerky, use nearly any cut of lean meat. Fat spoils and limits the shelf life of beef jerky, so go with the leanest option you can find.  For example, select flank steak, bottom round, sirloin tip, top round, or eye of the round. Ground beef is an option, though it may have a much different texture than jerky made from steak.


Choose a leash and collar for your dog. Familiarize your cocker spaniel with his collar. Get your cocker spaniel comfortable with his leash. Walk with your dog on the leash.

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

If you have not already selected a leash and collar your cocker spaniel, you can purchase them at your local pet store. The leash should be either four or six feet in length. A regular snap or buckle collar will be suitable. Body harnesses, choke collars, and pinch collars are not suitable for training your cocker spaniel to walk on a leash. Make sure that the leash is non-retractable. Retractable leashes can actually encourage your dog to pull and not walk beside you. This is important if your cocker spaniel is a puppy and is not used to having anything on his neck. This step will probably not be necessary for an adult cocker spaniel. Place the collar around your puppy’s neck when he is distracted by something else, such as eating or playing. Keep the collar on him even if he tries to take it off. If you take it off when he tries to take it off himself, you will actually be encouraging him to get his collar off. Remove the collar when he is distracted by eating or playing. If you are also crate training your puppy, remove the collar before you put him back in his crate. Your dog may not be immediately comfortable with his leash being attached to his collar, especially if he’s a puppy. If this is the case, start with attaching something small to his collar, such as a piece of string or a shoelace. Just like with the collar, attach and remove the leash (or other small object) when your puppy is distracted with something else. Whether your cocker spaniel is a puppy or an adult, do not leave him unattended when you have attached the leash. The leash could get caught on something, which could potentially cause serious injury to your dog. The goal is to walk your dog on the leash without him pulling. If he goes ahead of you and starts to pull on the leash, immediately stop walking (‘red light’). When your dog realizes that you have stopped, he will likely turn around and start walking back towards you. Once he has reached your side again, command him to sit. Once he is sitting, reward him with a treat and begin...


Choose a level site for your no-dig garden. Contain the garden by building a wall around it. Mow or cut the area in preparation, but leave the clippings.

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

A good amount of space is 4 by 5 feet (1.2 by 1.5 m), though you can make it smaller or larger. An ideal area should get 4 to 5 hours of sunlight a day. If the area is not very level, even it out with garden tools. Then, then fill in the gaps with things like twigs, leaves, and bark. This is optional, but it can be helpful when it comes to containing your garden in one space. You can use wooden planks, or you can use materials such as branches, bricks, or rocks. The material you choose for your garden wall largely depends on cost and the look you’re going for. For example, wooden planks are commonly used and look nice, but they are more expensive than branches. Once you've cut the grass and weeds, do not remove these cuttings from the area. If you leave them there, they can help fertilize your no dig garden!


Choose a licensed driver. Select a driver randomly. Make sure that you have enough drivers for the group. Share the responsibility.

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

Although it sounds like common sense, you should choose a designated driver that has a valid driver's license. Don't rely on someone who has had their license revoked or only has a learner's permit. Ask the driver about their driving record if you have any questions about their age or driving eligibility. If you are going out for drinks with a group of friends, you can decide who will be the designated driver using a random selection process. This will ensure that the selection process is fair. However, do try to switch things up - if someone was the designated driver last time, don't let them be designated driver this time. Try random selection methods such as drawing names out of a hat. It is important to have enough seats in the vehicle for each member in your group. If the designated driver does not have enough seats in their car to safely transport each member, you should select another designated driver. Each person should have their own seatbelt. Unless you have one friend who enjoys being the designated driver, be polite and share this responsibility with your friends. Set up a rotation or schedule with your friends to help share the responsibility of being the designated driver. When it is your turn to be the designated driver, be responsible and reliable. If someone offers you a drink when you are the designated driver be sure to inform them that you are serving as your group's designated driver. Say something like, “I won't be drinking tonight since I am serving as the designated driver for my friends.”


Choose a light to medium weight yarn and smaller needles.

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

To create small delicate flowers, choose a light to medium weight yarn and a pair of needles on the small end of the spectrum for that yarn. Usually, a US size 5 to 7 (3.75 to 4.5 mm) would be appropriate for a lightweight yarn and a 7 to 9 (4.5 to 5.5 mm) would be appropriate for a medium weight yarn, so choose a size at the lower end of the spectrum for the yarn you select. For example, if you want to use a lightweight yarn for your flowers, then choose a US size 5 (3.75 mm) pair of knitting needles. If you want to use a medium weight yarn, then choose a US size 7 (4.5 mm) pair of knitting needles.


Choose a light, carrier oil to use as your base. Pour ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of your carrier oil into a glass bottle. Add 20 to 30 drops of your favorite essential oil. Consider adding 1 teaspoon of rubbing alcohol to help bind the water to the essential oil. Close the bottle, and shake it to mix. Use the diffuser oil.

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

You can use just about any type of lightweight oil, such as coconut oil, safflower oil, or sweet almond oil. Avoid using solid coconut oil, and other heavy oils, such as extra virgin olive oil and jojoba oil; they will take too long to travel up the diffuser. This method is intended for reed-based diffusers. Do not use it for plug-in diffusers. Stick a funnel into the neck of the bottle first, so that you don't spill and waste any oil. Lavender, lemon, mint, tea tree, and vanilla are all popular individual choices, but you can combine different oils to create a more unique fragrance. Here are some combinations to get you started:  Bergamot and patchouli Cinnamon and wild orange Lavender and eucalyptus Lavender, lemon, and rosemary White fir and cypress This will also help the oil travel faster up the bamboo reeds. Choose something that is at least 90%. Vodka can be used in place of rubbing alcohol. This will help the different oils (and rubbing alcohol, if you are using it) to blend together instead of just floating on top of each other. If your bottle has a narrow neck, you can simply insert some bamboo skewers into it. You can also pour it into your reed diffuser bottle, but make sure that it is clean and all traces of the previous fragrance have been washed out. When inserting reeds into the bottle, make sure that they are new. Do not reuse old reeds.


Choose a litter that's safe for ferrets. Pick a big enough litter pan. Place your litter box in your ferret's cage. Put feces and urine in the litter box.

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

Not all litters are safe for ferrets. Ferrets have a tendency to roll in or sniff their litter and many ferrets have very sensitive respiratory systems; therefore, a dust-free, unscented litter that does not clump is safest for ferrets.  Denatured wood litter pellets, recycled newspaper pellets, and alfalfa pellets all make good litters. If you run out of regular litter, you can use cat litter if it's unscented and un-clumping in a pinch. You can also use shredded newspapers. Avoid cedar and pine shavings as litters. The chemicals can irritate your ferret's eyes. Your ferret should be able to fit all four of their paws in the litter pan comfortably, so make sure pick a box or pan that's big enough. You also want a litter pan or box with lower sides. Ferrets will have an easier time getting in and out of a litter pan with lower sides. You want to start litter training in the ferret's cage. Set the litter box in the corner of the ferret's cage. Fill it with your chosen litter. Make sure you don't use the litter anywhere else in the cage. You want it to be clear to your ferret they need to eliminate in the litter box. Ferrets are not like cats. They do not instinctively opt to use a litter box; therefore, you need to teach your ferret what the litter box is for. Place some urine and feces in the litter box. The scent will encourage your ferret to go in the area.


Choose a location for your bed that gets full sun 6-8 hours a day. Select a level spot. Find an area with room to move around on all sides of the planter. Make your planter no more than 4 feet (1.2 m) wide. Build your planter at least 6 inches (15 cm) high. Select a durable type of wood for the frame to prevent rot.

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

Most vegetables do best if they get full sun for most of the day. Find a spot where any plants you intend to grow will get all the sunlight they need.  If you plan to have several planting beds side-by-side, orient them so the long sides face north-south. This will prevent the beds from shading each other. Avoid building your planting bed under a tree to prevent excessive shade and leaf litter. Find an area in your garden that is as flat as possible. Not only will this make it easier for you to build, but it will also help prevent water from draining unevenly from the planting bed.  To check if the ground where you want to build is level, hammer 2 stakes into the ground around the same distance apart as the length of the planter you want to build. Tie a length of string between the stakes and hang a carpenter’s level on it. If the area is level, the bubble should appear between the 2 center lines. If you can’t find a level part of your lawn, you may have to topdress it to even out bumps, or even build a terrace if your whole yard slopes.  You can level out uneven areas in your yard by filling in depressions with soil and tamping it down. Ideally, you should be able to reach everything in the planting bed without having to step into the bed. Look for a spot in your garden where you’ll have the freedom to move all around the planting bed so you’ll have easy access for watering, weeding, and harvesting.  If possible, leave at least 18 inches (46 cm) between the planting bed and any surrounding beds or planters so you can move between them easily. You can build your planting bed up against a wall or fence if you wish, but you’ll need to make it narrow enough so you can easily reach plants at the back of the bed (i.e., at most 2 feet (0.61 m) wide). You can make your planters as long as you want, but they’ll need to be narrow enough so that you can easily reach all the plants inside. For most people, 4 feet (1.2 m) is the maximum comfortable width. For example, you might build a planting bed that’s 4 feet (1.2 m)...


Choose a location for your date. Clean your car, if applicable. Have topics of conversation in mind. Consider preparing a small gift.

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

First, ask her if she wants to choose the setting, in case she already has an idea about what she’d like to do. Plan ahead for where you’ll go. Keep in mind that your preparation shows your interest level. When selecting a location, look for places you’ll have the chance to talk and find out more about each other. You can also arrange multiple places to go on a single date, if desired.  Try asking, “Do you have anyplace specific in mind, or would you rather be surprised?” For instance, you might choose to go to an aquarium followed by a restaurant that isn’t too casual. Other ideas are ice skating, bringing a picnic lunch to a park, or a city walking tour. Avoid places like the cinema, concerts and clubs, where you’ll have to compete with the noise level and energy.  If you’re going out to eat, ask her what type of food she likes first, and don’t wait until the date to pick a restaurant. Choose a place, make reservations, and let your date know whether she should dress formally or casually. Avoid choosing a noisy place like a sports bar, where you won’t be able to hear each other well. If you’re going to drive on the date, take some time beforehand to throw away any trash in your car. You may want to vacuum your car out as well, especially if you have pets or it’s been a while since you vacuumed your car’s interior. Wipe down any dusty interior surfaces. Bonus points if you get a car wash, place a well-concealed air freshener in your car, and keep gum and/or mints in your console! You may not need to use them, but it’s good to have some ideas prepared ahead of time in case you find yourself at a loss for words. Think of questions that are open-ended, so they can start conversation rather than inviting simple “yes” or “no” answers.  Try asking, “Do you like to travel? Where would you most like to go?” Discussing dream travel destinations makes people feel good and even look more attractive to each other. You could also ask her what here favorite trip is that she’s been on.  Some light-hearted topics you can...


Choose a location that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun. Dig about 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) down into the soil. Remove any rocks or debris that you find in the soil. Break up large clods of soil.

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

When you're choosing an area for your tomato garden, make sure it gets enough sunlight to allow the plants to grow and produce. Avoid placing your tomato garden next to a building or under a tree that could block sunlight for parts of the day. Look for an area that has decent drainage and doesn't flood every time it rains. Use a shovel or a tiller to dig up the dirt where you plan to place your garden so it will be better suited for your tomato plants. Dig deep enough to remove any grasses or plants and their root systems from the top of the soil. Wait until the ground is dry before you start digging. Look for sticks, broken roots, or any other types of debris while you dig up the soil. Take out anything that isn't dirt from the garden plot. Use a garden hoe to scrape through the dirt and look for sticks or debris that you can remove. Use your hands or a garden hoe to break up hard clumps of earth into softer dirt. Large clods of tough soil can make it harder for the roots of your tomato plants to penetrate into the ground when you plant them. Use a garden rake to sift through the soil and break up any large clumps.


Choose a location. Decide if you want to bury the bird in a container. Protect the grave.

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

In most cases, you can bury a bird on your own property with few restrictions. Because laws vary from place to place, it's always a good idea to call your municipality to find out if they have any laws regarding the burial of animals.  Avoid burying a bird or any other animal in a vegetable garden.  In some areas, there may be restrictions against burying animals if your groundwater level is too high. Check with your local department of environmental conservation to find out. If you have cats or dogs, you may want to choose an area that they do not have access to in order to prevent them from digging the bird up. You do not need to bury the bird in any kind of container unless you want to. If you choose to use a container, be sure that it is not made of potentially toxic materials.  Pet coffins are used mostly for sentimental reasons, so it's up to you if you would like to use one.  Do not bury anything made of plastic. If you transported the bird to the burial site in a plastic bag, do not bury the bag with the bird. Gently empty the bird into the hole by holding the corners of the bag, seal it and then dispose of the bag in your normal trash. It's generally a good idea to dig a hole at least two feet deep for a grave. The deeper your hole, the lower the chances will be that a scavenger will come along and dig the bird up. Once you have placed the bird inside the grave, cover it with the dirt that you removed when digging the hole.  You may also want to consider covering the area with stones or paving blocks to protect it from scavengers.


Choose a location. Pick a reputable company to buy from. Rent first. Ask about maintenance. Have a lawyer look over the contract. Have a title search performed if you're buying used.

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

The first step in buying a timeshare is to pick a place you'd like to vacation most years. While some timeshares offer a point system where you can visit more than one location, most of the time, you'll be returning to the same place each year. Therefore, you need to pick somewhere that you enjoy going.  Of course, certain vacation spots will have more timeshares than other places, so you'll need to pick a place where you can find a timeshare. Some popular timeshare in the US locations include Hawaii, Vail, CO, Aspen, CO, Florida Keys, and Lake Tahoe, CA. Whether your buying new or used, choose a company with a good reputation. it's important to visit the resort and view the property, as well as talk to other timeshare owners if possible. You can also look for complaints about the company online. If you're buying used, pick a site such as https://tug2.com/timeshare-marketplace.aspx or http://www.myresortnetwork.com/sell-timeshare/. If you can manage it, try renting from the property first. Staying for a week gives you a better idea of what the company is like than just visiting. Plus, it helps you decide if you really like the location. It's good to know ahead of time what the company's policy is on maintenance. For instance, you should know how quickly you can expect repairs to be carried out. It's also a good idea to ask about the average cost of maintenance fees per year. Ask for a written copy of the maintenance policy. That way, you have something to refer to, as well as a document to use if you need to turn to legal recourse. If you don't know much about real estate contracts, it's a good idea to have someone who is knowledgeable look over your contract. That way, you can sign it with confidence that you're not getting scammed. If you're buying a used timeshare, it's important to make sure it's above board. Hire a title search company to perform a title search on the timeshare, which can tell you if the title has old liens and will assure if the owner actually is the person you're buying from.


Choose a location. Set up lights. Choose a color scheme. Set up tables and chairs. Have decorative table settings. Set up measures to help prevent bugs.

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

You will likely want your garden party to be outside. This can be in your backyard, a park, or a garden. Consider the view and the scenery when choosing a space. Make sure to pick a location where the ground is level enough for comfortable seating. If your garden party is going to go past sunset, create soft and romantic lighting. You can use battery powered lanterns or outdoor string lights. You can decorate your string lights with flowers and other embellishments.  You can set up candles around your party to create soft lighting.  You can even set up torches around the space. Consider lighting a path to and from the party. Choose around 3-4 colors to use for your party color scheme. You can use bright, festive colors like pink and orange or darker colors like blue and green. You will want your decorations, tableware, lights, and any other accessories at your party to coordinate with the color scheme. Have tables and chairs set up in your space before the party. You can bring out any tables and chairs you have inside or use outdoor patio furniture. If you don’t have enough tables and chairs, you can rent them from party or event stores. Set up enough chairs for all of your guests. Alternatively you can lay out blankets and pillows and make your garden party picnic style. Choose table cloths and place settings that match your color scheme. You can use any fabric for a tablecloth by cutting it and hemming it. Coordinate your placemats and table cloth by pulling together one central color in the designs. You will also want centerpieces for your garden party. You can make elaborate centerpieces or you can do something simple like vases of flowers or flowers in distilled water. No matter how much delicious food, good music, and fun games you have planned, it won’t stop bugs from annoying your guests. You can take measures to help prevent bugs from inviting themselves to your party. Keep any food outside covered with lids or keep the food inside. Set up bug zappers and citronella candles to help prevent mosquitoes.


Choose a longboard or funboard to learn the basics of surfing. Try a shortboard or fish board if you want to tackle more aggressive waves. Test a hybrid board to combine the aspects of two boards into one. Paddle a SUP instead, a board you can use in any body of water.

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

A longboard is about 8 to 11 feet long and serves as a fantastic starting point for a novice due to its balance and ability to catch smaller waves. A funboard is a little smaller, at 7 to 9 feet long, but is wider than most other surfboards, giving it good stability. A funboard is considered easier to maneuver than a longboard, but longboards are the best surfboard for a total beginner. A shortboard, at 5 to 7 feet long, has a pointed front end and is meant for shredding rough and aggressive waves. A fish board is even smaller than a shortboard but wider, with a dual-pointed rear resembling a large fin, and makes turns both quickly and smoothly. If you are just moving beyond a beginner board, try a fish board before a shortboard. You will get used to the maneuverability of a shorter surfboard while adjusting away from long ones. A hybrid board is a combination of any two boards that are similar.  A shortboard and a fish board hybrid is a common combination, making the shortboard more balanced and able to turn without sacrificing speed. A longboard and a funboard hybrid can make it easier to find stability on a heavier board, and can also serve as a good transition from a longboard to another style. A SUP is a stable, standing paddle board that can be used to surf very small waves and, with skill, surf larger waves. You can use it in freshwater too, so if you have the surfing itch and live nowhere near an ocean, you can bring this to the lake to start learning.


Choose a look for your stubble. Pick a style that compliments your natural facial hair. Consider how your stubble will pair with your hair. For best results, pick up some stubble-shaping tools.

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

Before you throw out your shaving foam and swear yourself to a hairier life, it's best to have an idea of what you want to eventually look like. There's no "right" way to grow stubble, so feel free to be creative with your choice. However, there are a few popular "looks" that tend to look good on a wide variety of faces that you may want to consider. We've given these our own names below (and suggested a few celebrities that wear these styles as examples):   The All-over: This natural look uses a short-to-medium length stubble that's about the same length all over the face, making it easy to grow and maintain. Wearers of this style include: Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper.  The Peach Fuzz: This style uses very short stubble to give a delicate, almost clean-cut look. Wearers: Robert Pattinson and Ryan Gosling.  The Faux-tee: This stubble looks like a very short version of a goatee or a Van Dyke beard — the stubble is mainly concentrated around the nose and mouth, while the cheeks are clean-shaven. Wearers: Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom.  The Shaggy: This style uses a somewhat longer stubble and a relaxed approach to grooming to give a rugged look. Wearers: George Clooney, Idris Elba.  The Wilderness: This wild, unkempt look is almost more of a short beard than it is a stubble style — wearing this will take some confidence, but when pulled off, the impression it gives is a strikingly masculine one. Wearers: Russell Brand, Bear Grylls after a week in the woods. Let's face it: not everyone grows facial hair in the same way. Some people have to shave every single day to stay clean-shaven, while others can put down the razor for weeks at a time and grow only a few wisps of hair. Keep in mind your natural ability to grow hair as you pick your stubble style — ideally, you want to pick a look that makes the most of your natural facial hair patterns, not one that's held back by them. Here are just a few things to consider:  If your facial hair comes in patchy, don't pick a style that requires thick hair growth on...


Choose a lot of meaty vegetables. Turn vegetables into a paste. Finished.

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

Use more "meaty" vegetables that provide tasty filling, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and cabbage.  When they simmer or boil together with the stew, they will partially dissolve and give the surrounding sauce a richer texture. Root vegetables work well, especially potatoes. Cooking the potatoes with the stew naturally thickens it. A simple method to thicken beef stew is to cook several whole vegetables in the stew pot, such as potatoes, carrots, onions and celery.  After they have cooked and contributed to the overall stew flavor, they can be removed and blended into a paste with stock or some of the cooking liquid. Pull out some of the carrots and potatoes that you cooked with the stew, mash them with a potato masher or a fork, and stir the mashed vegetables back into the beef stew for a thicker consistency. You could also use an immersion blender directly in the stew to blend some of the vegetables in the broth to make a thicker stew. Stir this paste back into the stew to thicken it. This is a great way to improve the fiber content of a stew as well.


Choose a mask template. Print your chosen template on thick paper or cardstock. Mark your mask for painting. Allow the paint to dry fully.

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

Type "masquerade mask template" into Google and hundreds of results will pop up. If you've never made a mask before, you might want to start with a simple design. Choose a template with a plain outline and plenty of inner white space if you want to add a lot of customization.  The standard mask goes a bit above the eyebrows and ends at the top of the cheekbones, but yours doesn't have to. You can always draw your own design, but at least check out some of the templates for inspiration and guidance for sizing. For a sturdier mask, use cardstock, which you can get at any craft, art, or office supply store. Print the template out on letter-sized paper -- anything smaller won't accommodate the mask size, and anything bigger will just waste paper.  Before printing, make sure your printer can handle the thickness of cardstock, or change the settings to accommodate thicker paper. If you only have access to plain paper, try printing out several templates and layering them on top of one another to create a stronger base. If your template didn't come with design elements already in place, lightly sketch out what you want yours to look like. Creating a design for the surface of the mask might include multiple colors and textures. Sketching those outlines ahead of time will help you maintain symmetry. Make your marks light! You don't want to see them through your paint. Set your mask on a covered surface in an open area where it won't be disturbed. Be patient -- drying might take a while. Depending on the type and brand of paint you used, this could take up to 4 hours. It needs to be completely dry before you add anything else to it. Check the packaging of your chosen paint for specifics about drying time.


Choose a material based on the size of your fish. Fit the divider. Double the plastic canvas for durability.

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

Use a material with holes smaller than your smallest fish to prevent them from swimming through the divider. Choose plastic canvas to prevent small fish from swimming through. Use egg crates if it’s okay for smaller fish or babies to swim on both sides of the divider. Measure the height and width of your tank where you want to divide it. Use these measurements to determine how large the canvas or egg crates need to be. Buy the dividing material in the size you need or cut it to size if it is too big. Combine pieces of the material if you can’t buy a size that easily fits into your tank.  Ensure the divider is taller than the water level so fish cannot swim over the divider. Combine plastic canvas by attaching pieces together with fishing line. Glue multiple egg crates together with silicone if you need a larger divider. Make a plastic canvas divider more secure by putting two pieces of material together. Doubling the canvas also makes it harder for fish to see each other through the divider. Use plants or moss in between the doubled material to further prevent fish from seeing each other through the divider. Stick your plants or moss in the middle of two pieces of plastic canvas or two egg crates. The moss will grow outward and make an excellent nesting, play and resting area.

Woks are made out of several different materials, though the traditional wok is made of cast iron. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Every type of wok will work for your stir-frying, steaming, or frying needs, except Teflon, which should not be used for frying. The different materials of woks are:  Cast iron. This is the traditional material. This type of wok takes more time to heat up, but it cooks food evenly and retains heat longer. Iron is a solid choice, but it also has its drawbacks. Cast iron woks rust easily, so you will need to carefully dry it before and after use. It is also recommended to avoid cooking acidic food and greens in this type of wok. Aluminum wok. Iron woks are thick and heavy, but woks made of aluminum are light and thin. Aluminum is a great conductor of heat, but it does not retain heat very well. It is also not as durable as an iron wok. Teflon wok. A Teflon, or non-stick, wok is ideal for steaming, stewing, and boiling. Do not use this type of wok if you plan to deep fry or stir-fry food because the non-stick coating will come off into the food at high temperatures. Carbon steel. This is possibly the most recommended type of wok. It is typically the most inexpensive choice, and it is the most durable. A carbon steel wok also heats up quickly and evenly, and is almost a non-stick surface if cared for properly. Woks with round bottoms are traditional and most common, but flat bottoms have been introduced in recent years. A round bottom is ideal if you cook on a gas stove. Flat bottom woks are made for electric stoves. Though the choice depends on taste and stove type, most cooks still recommend to use a round bottom if possible.  Food can burn easier with a flat bottom wok because heat is distributed mostly throughout the bottom of the pan. It is easier to use a spatula on a round bottom pan. The size of the wok you choose depends on the amount of people you want to feed. Typically, a wok that is 14 inches in diameter is family-sized. For travel, woks come as...


Choose a matte foundation. Select a foundation with medium coverage.

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

For an airbrushed finish, choosing the right foundation finish is key. A matte foundation is usually your best bet because it reflects less light, which makes pores less obvious and gives your skin a smoother look. It also cuts down on shine, so your makeup will look smooth and flawless as long as possible. If you have dry skin, you may prefer a demi-matte or satin finish foundation. That will help keep your skin from looking too dull or flat. For your skin to look airbrushed, you probably want all the discolorations and imperfections covered up. You'll be able to apply less foundation if you use one that offers at least medium coverage to even out your skin tone and cover up most flaws. Using a lighter layer of foundation will help keep your makeup from looking cakey or heavy. If you have a lot of discoloration, scarring, or acne that you need to cover up, you may prefer using a full-coverage foundation. You won't need to apply as many layers or as much concealer if your foundation covers well.


Choose a medic for your team. Try to eliminate players on the other team. Heal "out" players. Play Team Deathmatch once the medic is hit.

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

The medic should be someone who is relatively good at dodging paintballs, as they will have the power to heal everyone else and you want them to be in the game as long as possible. If a player who is not the medic gets shot, he is temporarily out. The medic must make their way over to an eliminated player and touch him to heal him. If you want, you can put a limit on the number of times a player can be healed. The medic cannot heal himself, so once he is out you will have to play as if your team does not have a medic. You cannot elect a new medic.


Choose a medium-sized container with a tight-fitting mesh top. Line the container with damp paper towels and fresh milkweed leaves. Keep your container in a window that doesn't get direct sunlight.

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

Your imagination is the limit when it comes to creating your caterpillar enclosure! If you’re only raising 1 or 2 Monarch caterpillars, you could use a shoebox or a clean food container, or you could use an aquarium if you'll be raising more caterpillars and you want to give them a larger enclosure. Just make sure whatever container you choose is at least 4 in (10 cm) deep, so your adult butterfly will have room to spread its wings.  Once your caterpillars start crawling, they’ll be able to escape from your container if it’s not fitted with a secure lid. However, make sure the lid is easy to open, since you’ll need to clean the enclosure every day. Also, they’ll need plenty of ventilation, so opt for a lid made of mesh, screen, or netting. A container with clear sides will allow you to see the caterpillars as they develop, but it’s not necessary. Just like in your egg enclosure, a little water on a paper towel will help keep your milkweed leaves from drying out. Your caterpillars will be very hungry as they grow, so make sure you have several fresh milkweed leaves for each larva. You can even put whole stalks of milkweed in the enclosure if the container you chose is large enough.  To avoid introducing any unwanted insects or bacteria into your enclosure, rinse off the milkweed leaves under cool running water before you place them in the container. If you’re putting individual leaves in the container, you’ll need to add fresh leaves to the container each day. You’ll also need to replace whole stalks when the leaves start to curl, turn brown, or look dry. You can add sticks to the enclosure to prop up the milkweed stalks if you like. Your Monarch caterpillars will love indirect natural light, so place the container near a window. However, if they get too hot, they could die, so make sure it’s not a window where the sun will be shining directly onto the caterpillars. Also, make sure your container is out of the path of any air conditioner vents. The strong air and fluctuating temperatures can be dangerous for...


Choose a meeting location. Select a meeting date and time.

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

You’ll need a location for meetings that is easy for everyone to get to and large enough to hold all the members. If you want to meet at school, make sure you get permission from an administrator. You could also meet in a public space, like a park, café, or library.  If you are meeting with strangers, it’s best to meet in a public place rather than at your home. Once your club is established, you could meet at members’ homes and rotate through a schedule so everyone is responsible for hosting a meeting. Now that you know where to meet, you need to decide when. Choose a day of the week when your potential members are likely to be available, such as a Saturday if the club is for working adults. Once you recruit more members, you can discuss everyone’s availability and come up with a meeting schedule. Keep the meetings relatively short — one hour should be plenty for the first meeting.


Choose a mental health professional. Get a referral. Shop around for a therapist. Make sure your therapist is licensed. Check with your health insurance. Ask your therapist about different types of therapy. Be patient.

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

There are different types of therapists, each of whom offers different skills or specialties. These include counseling psychologists, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists. You can see one or a combination of different ones.   Counseling psychologists: Counseling psychology is a field of therapy that focuses on helping skills and helping people overcome difficult times in their lives. This type of therapy can be short or long-term and is often problem-specific and goal-directed.   Licensed professional counselor or licensed social worker: These types of mental health providers are often much easier to find and schedule counseling sessions with than psychologists. Ask your doctor for a referral or find one in your area by searching online.  Clinical psychologists: These are trained to administer tests to confirm a diagnosis and therefore, they tend to focus more on psychopathology, or the study of behavioral or mental disorders.   Psychiatrists: These may use psychotherapy and scales or tests in their practice, but are typically consulted when medication is an option the patient wants to explore. In most states, only psychiatrists can prescribe medication, although some states now allow psychologists to prescribe medication. For help finding a counselor, consider recommendations from friends or family, leaders in your religious community, community mental health center, your Employee Assistance Program (if your employer offers one), or your doctor. Other professional associations like the American Psychological Association may provide search functions for locating their members in your area. Find someone who makes you feel welcome and at ease. A bad counseling experience can put you off the whole idea for years, which could deprive you of valuable therapy. Remember that not all mental health professionals are alike; find one you like and stick with them. Therapists will generally prompt you to speak with careful questions, and then listen to what you have to say. It can be nerve-wracking at first to open up...
