Try this first to reduce chance of damage. Find a tongue depressor or similar tool. Poke the tool under the corner flap. Be prepared to stop if the flap doesn't give way. Hold the envelope down and rock the tool up and down. Dampen a cotton swab slightly. Press the wet swab over the stuck flap. Try other flaps if present.

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

This method works best on envelopes of thick paper, or envelopes with poorly attached glue, but it's tough to predict whether it will work on a given envelope until you try it out. Although it is not as effective as steaming the envelope open, it has a lower risk of damaging the envelope or its contents, which makes it a good place to start. Some envelopes — but not all of them — can be gently opened using nothing but a flat, curved wooden tool, such as a tongue depressor. According to an old CIA manual, the tool should have a smooth edge, preferably with a curved, blunt tip. These tools can be made by filing down a piece of wood or an ivory piano key blank, but any flat tool with the shape described should work. Look at the corner of the envelope flap for a small opening that hasn't been glued down. Carefully insert the tip of the tongue depressor or other tool into this opening. If the flap is completely sealed, carefully work a wire or other thin object into the corner to create an opening for the tongue depressor. Follow the steps below methodically, use slow, small movements. If the paper doesn't respond, or if you hear, feel, or see any tear in the paper, stop and move on to the next step. Use your non-dominant hand to hold the envelope flat against the table so it doesn't move. Gently rock the tool in your other hand up and down, applying light pressure to the edge of the envelope flap. If the envelope responds, repeat this technique to unseal the rest of the flap. If it resists, try the next step. Pour out a small amount of clean water, preferably distilled, into a bowl or cup. Dip a cotton swab into it, then press the cotton swab against blotting paper or a paper towel to remove excess water. Water can only be used in small amounts to weaken the paper and glue of the envelope flap; too much water can cause the ink to bleed and the paper to tear. If you have opened the envelope partway, you can fold a piece of blotting paper and stick it under the flap to absorb any excess water. Focus only on the...


Try this for a real ginger taste. Start with ginger syrup. Fill the glass with seltzer or soda. Add a few drops of bitters (optional). Stir and serve.

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

If you want a more authentic ginger flavor, you can rely on this recipe instead. Making it at home allows you to adjust the strength to suit your taste. Start with about 2 tbsp (30mL) for a 10-oz (300mL) glass. You can find this ingredient at health food stores, upper end grocery stores, or online. For a fresher taste, make your own:  Heat 1 cup (240mL) water and 1¼ cups (240g) sugar, stirring until dissolved. Add ½ cup (120mL) grated or thinly sliced, raw ginger. Simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool, then add 2 tbsp (30mL) lemon juice. Plain seltzer (fizzy water) is best. You may use lemon-lime soda, cream soda, or other sodas. Sodas add a large amount of sugar and can overpower the ginger taste. This alcoholic ingredient will add complex herbal flavors. Try it if you happen to have it on hand, but don't bother buying it if you don't make cocktails at home. Give it a stir until all the ginger syrup has dissolved. Add ice or drink it straight.


Try this if the entire string goes out. Open the fuse case. Check the fuses. Pry out the blown fuses. Find an exact replacement. Put in the new fuses.

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

A blown fuse will turn the entire string dark, not just part of it. This often happens when too many strings are connected end-to-end. A fuse can also blow when the wires are accidentally stapled during installation, or when the lights are plugged into a socket with too high a voltage (such as US lights in a UK socket). If only some of the lights are dark, skip down to replacing the bulbs instead. A string of Christmas lights typically has one or two tiny fuses in the plastic box attached to the prongs. Examine the plastic closely on the side of this box and in between the prongs for a cover you can slide or pry open. These often get stuck, so you may need to use some force. Do not plug the lights back in at any point during this method. Each fuse should be transparent, with an unbroken wire running through each one. If a fuse is black, or if the wire inside is broken, it needs to be replaced. You may need to remove the fuse and hold it up to a bright light to inspect it. Gently lever the blown fuses out with a thin screwdriver. Many Christmas lights are sold with spare fuses for this purpose. If your spares have escaped from the holiday box, take the blown fuses to an electronics store and ask for a replacement. 100-light strings typically use 3A fuses, but it's best to confirm your fuses' rating with a store employee.   Never use a fuse with a higher rating. This can cause a major fire risk. Some LED lights only require one fuse, but keep a second one in the plastic compartment as a spare. If there's a fuse that's not attached to any wires, just transfer it over to the other slot. Pop the new fuses into the slots and close the plastic cover. Plug the light bulbs in to see if this has fixed the problem. If the lights still won't come on, try a different outlet in case you blew a house fuse or circuit. If that doesn't work, keep reading for other solutions.


Try to answer as accurately as you can. Score the items. Assess your score. Keep track of your depression.

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

Carefully read each question and make sure you understand what’s being asked. Always try to give the answer that most closely matches your condition over the past two weeks. Because you can only choose a single item out of four statements, try to judge your emotions, feelings, or behaviors as precisely as possible. Simply add up all the ratings to get your score. For example, if you have circled 0 on the first item and 3 on second, you’ll add them to get a score of 3 for the first two items.  Proceed in the same manner for the rest of items until you have added the results for all 21 items. Note down your total score. It will fall in between the range of 0 to 63. There are no arbitrary cutoff points for diagnosing each category of depression. However, there are ranges of scores which indicate the particular category of depression a person is passing through. Once you have calculated your total score, simply compare your score with the following categories:  Score of 0 to 13: no depression Score of 14 to 19: mild depression Score of 20 to 28: moderate depression Score of 29 to 63: severe depression If you have previously been diagnosed with depression, the Beck Depression Inventory can be used on a weekly basis to check on your progress, especially if you have begun therapy and started taking medications. This is very helpful for the following reasons:  You can identify any changes in your emotional state. You can identify the areas where depression is still high, such as if you still have difficulty sleeping or have thoughts about suicide. Once you have identified the areas that are still causing a problem, you can start working to improve them with the help of your therapist. Regularly checking in with your progress helps to give you motivation for further change.


Try to anticipate how your parents will react. Hold off on coming out if your safety would be at risk. Inform trusted loved ones that you’re about to come out to your parents. Choose a calm, relaxed time and place to come out to your parents. Don’t come out during a fight. Tell your parents that you love them and want to be honest. Let them know you understand if they feel shocked or upset. Give your parents time to absorb the news. Suggest educational resources that might ease their concerns. Come out to your extended family at your own pace.

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

The best case scenario is that they will be completely accepting, that they might have already known, and that this conversation won’t cause tension. However, coming out to your parents could be risky, especially if they’ve demonstrated homophobic behavior in the past.  If your parents have expressed positive views of the LGBTQ+ community, have supported other people coming out, and are generally open minded, then there’s a good chance they’ll be supportive. Keep in mind that, while your parents may be accepting or have LGBTQ+ friends, they might still react strongly when you tell them. Unfortunately, there are some cases where you’re better off not coming out to your parents. If they’ve expressed homophobic views, and if you’re financially dependent on them, it might be in your best interest to wait to tell them until you’re independent. Ask yourself if they might withdraw their support, stop paying your school tuition, or kick you out of the house. While keeping it to yourself might be tough, you shouldn’t come out to them if your well-being is at risk. Whether your parents react positively or negatively, it’s helpful to know that you have friends on whom you can rely. If you’ve already come out to friends or relatives, tell them when you’re planning to come out to your parents. Your supportive loved ones will be there for you to vent to regardless of how things go with your parents. If you decide to come out to your parents but are worried they’ll get upset, ask a supportive loved one if you can stay with them in the event things with your parents turn sour. Pick a time when you and your parents aren’t stressed, busy, or distracted. Additionally, you might have an easier time if there are no major life events happening. For instance, avoid telling them if a relative has just passed away or the night before your sister gets married. Make sure the emotional climate at home is stable. If your parents are fighting or if you’ve just gotten grounded, you might want to wait for things to settle. You may feel...


Try to be humane. Remove the squirrel from your property. Release the squirrel.

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

If you have set the intention of killing the squirrel, and you plan to, say, stuff it, then you probably won't want to keep it alive for release. Otherwise, however, consider that you don't need to kill the squirrel to get rid of it. You can catch the squirrel humanely and release it back into the wild. This way, you can rest with both an easy conscience and a squirrel-free property. Bring the captured animal at least a mile from where you caught it. On average, the home range of the male eastern gray squirrel is around 3.41 hectares, and you'll want to take it even further to reduce its chance of returning. It helps if you've trapped the creature in an easy-to-transport box, cage, or bucket.  Consider bringing the squirrel across a river from your property. Squirrels can swim, but a large river should provide enough of a deterrent to keep them from coming back. Make sure that the squirrel won't be able to cross the river on a "bridge" of tree canopies. If you have caught multiple squirrels, feel free to release them all at once. You may need a car to carry all of the cages. Bring the trap into a wooded area – preferably a park or a forest, rather than someone else's property. Make sure that you're at least thirty feet from the nearest road. Set the trap on the ground and wait for the animal to calm down. Then, when you're ready, carefully prop open the door of the trap. Let the squirrel run free. Be patient. You may need to wait a minute or two for the squirrel to feel comfortable making a dash. Try walking away from the trap for a minute, then coming back once the squirrel has escaped.


Try to be in some of the same places. Interact with her. Be bold Make her laugh.

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

In order to become friends with a girl, you have to become familiar to her first. A girl may not be comfortable with a stranger walking up to her and starting a conversation out of the blue, but if she's seen you around and you've seen her around, that barrier falls. You're no longer scary. Are you in a few of her classes? Do you share a hobby? Great.  It's actually proven that humans like things the more they are exposed to them. It's the reason the same song gets played over and over on the radio and why commercials get repeated endlessly. So the more she's exposed to you, the more she'll be inclined to like you. In psychology, this is called the mere-exposure effect (in case you were curious).  If you have to, put yourself in her line of fire. Does she always sit towards the left side of the classroom? Can she be found at a certain Starbucks on Wednesday afternoons? If you know where she'll be, be there once in a while. As long as you're not breathing down her neck, you're on the right track. Okay, now that you both know who each other is and that you have a certain something in common, you've got to interact with her. It can be as simple as a passing remark about your teacher's ridiculous tie or a question about what time practice is next week. Don't be afraid to start off small -- after all, you've gotta start somewhere.  She's a girl. She's just a girl. There are billions of them on this planet. When you ask her a question or make a funny comment, you will not spontaneously light on fire and the world will not explode. If she's friend material, she'll be happy to respond. Most girls are no different from guys when it comes to conversation. Don't come on too strong! Friendships develop over time and it can really make a girl uncomfortable if you start treating her like your best friend when you've only just met, especially if she's shy or socially awkward. . Lots of people are shy when it comes to reaching out to others. She may love to have a new friend like you, but she might not make herself...


Try to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Keep your CV or resume up to date. Update your online profile. Look at classifieds and online job listings regularly. Network when possible.

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

It is important to keep in mind that no matter how secure your job may seem, there is always a chance that something will happen and you will have to leave your position. Because of this, it is important to be prepared, just in case. To be prepared, you should try to keep your resume as up to date as possible, and always have an eye on the job market in your field. As you hone your skills and gain more work experience, it is important to update your CV (or resume) to reflect your changing and developing abilities. It can be difficult to keep track of all of the work that you do and the projects you work on, so try to write down details in your CV as soon as you have finished the task or feel your skills have developed. For example. Along with your CV or resume, you should also keep your online profile(s) up to date. This means adding job experience and new skills as you develop them. Many companies look at online job profiles, like LinkedIn, when looking for new employees. Respond to ‘friend’ requests in a timely fashion to show that you are interested in networking and are organized. Try to stay up to date on the job market and any advancements that occur in your industry. Even if you feel like your job is secure, it is still a good idea to keep a running tab on other positions you feel you would do well in. Compare your own job to other positions to determine if you are being treated fairly. You might be surprised to find that people employed in positions similar to yours have higher or lower wages and benefits. Networking is an important practice when it comes to being prepared for the worst case scenario. The more connections you have, the more likely you will be to quickly find a job if you do happen to get fired. To network:  Appear at parties and networking functions. Make connections online. Be respectful and charismatic with people you meet.


Try to bend thinner poking wires using the eraser end of a pencil. Use tweezers to fix poking wires in the back of your mouth. Fix broken laces that poke your lips using tweezers and pliers.

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

You won't be able to fix all poking wires this way, but this method will help in many cases.  Find the wire in your mouth that is poking you. If it is a thin wire, get a pencil with a clean eraser. Gently touch the eraser to the poking wire. Push the wire gently to bend it. Try to tuck the poking wire behind the arch wire. Only do this for thinner, more flexible wires. Sometimes, eating hard foods can cause flexible wires in the back of your mouth to slip out of the bracket slots on the back teeth.  If this occurs, you can try to fix these with tweezers. Get a small pair of thin nosed tweezers. Make sure they are clean before using them in your mouth. Grab the end of the poking or loose wire with the tweezers. Guide it back into the tube on the bracket slot. If you can't get the wire back into the slot, you will need to call your orthodontist. You will need to see your orthodontist to follow up for a replacement.  If the wire lacing of your braces is broken in the front of your mouth, you can try to tuck the broken lace behind the arch wire or around a bracket. Use tweezers to bend the wire away from your lips and cheeks. If the lace is on top of the arch wire you can can also remove it by cutting it with pliers. This is only recommended as a last option and should be followed by a visit to the orthodontist as soon as possible.


Try to connect with them during shared activities or classes. Invite them to do things in a group. Try one-on-one activities.

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

Use events or meetings you’ll both already be attending as an opportunity to bond with your crush. This will create an opportunity to flirt. For example, if you’re both going to be taking Chemistry together, try sitting close to them so you can ask questions. After you’ve been getting along in settings where you both have to be somewhere, you should invite your crush to do something fun in a group.  Group activities, such as having lunch out or playing softball, are great because your crush can get to know you without the pressure of a date. Try to pick an activity that fosters conversation. Pick a game night instead of a movie, for example, so you can talk to each other more.  For example, you could say, “My friends and I are trying a new BBQ place downtown this weekend for lunch. Do you want to come?” Be sure to mention that you are going in a group. After one successful group hang out, your goal should be to schedule more. Try to integrate your crush into a social aspect of your life. This way when kiss them out of the blue it feels more like the exciting culmination of building anticipation rather than a rude surprise. Be patient. This process can take time. After a few successful group hang outs, ask your crush to hang out one-on-one. It’s not necessary to define this as a date. The goal is for your crush to enjoy spending time with just you, so they can begin to consider you in a romantic way, setting up your surprise kiss.  For example, to ask your crush out, you could say, “It’s supposed to be a nice day Saturday. Want to go play putt putt golf with me?” or “I’ve been meaning to try that new Café on Green street. Want to grab a bite on Thursday?” Try to avoid something overtly date-oriented like dinner and a movie, which will create expectations around your kiss. A competitive activity can be fun and will keep your crush guessing. If your crush rejects your offer to hang out one-on-one or seems unreceptive, understand that not all crushes are requited. You probably should not try to kiss them if they...


Try to contact others. Search the items you collected when you washed up. Write messages in the sand. Keep your fire going.

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

If you have a mobile phone, see if you have any signal.  Travel to higher ground to search for signal. If you manage to make a call, contact someone back home and tell them what happened and whereabouts you are. If you don't know where you are, look for landmarks on the horizon. If you can't find a cellphone signal, then explore the island carefully to see if there are any inhabitants with a radio or boat. You might have bright plastic or a flare gun.  Make flags from any bright colored material. These could be spotted during the day by a low flying aircraft. Keep the flare gun in a safe place that is quickly accessible. You will want to fire a flare if you see a passing ship or plane. You can also try to make reflected light signals with a large mirror if one washed up with you. If there is a sandy area, make a giant SOS sign on the beach.  Find large tree branches that you can arrange to spell SOS in the sand. This can be noticed by a passing airplane. You can also arrange large rocks in the same fashion. If you can't find enough material such as branches or rocks, you can write this message in the sand in big letters with a stick or even your hand. Keep in mind that you might have to fix this daily as the tide could wash parts of it away. The smoke and light could be noticed by passing aircraft or boats.   Be careful your fire is not too big, as it could be potentially hazardous to you, your shelter, and wildlife. Keep your fire as close to shore as possible so smoke can be seen by passing ships. Try to keep it going throughout the night so aircraft can spot the flames from above.


Try to do this at higher levels. Make sure that you have about the same level Town Halls in the war. Coordinate with the other clan leader to start your wars at the same time. Try again if you didn't get paired up.

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

Because you're relying on luck to get matched with your friend, you'll have better luck at the higher levels. This is because there are less possible matches at the higher levels, and tons of possible matches at the lower levels. If you're trying to match up against a friendly clan, you may have to wait until you are both high level. There is no way to specifically choose which clan you are going to attack. When you're trying to get matched up against your friend's clan, make sure that both clan's Town Hall levels are fairly close to each other.  For example, Clan A may have four Level 10 Town Halls and three Level 9 Town Halls. Clan B may have four Level 10 Town Halls and five Level 9 Town Halls. You'll have the most success if both clans have the same number of Town Halls at the same levels. Both clans should at least have the same number of the highest-level Town Halls. Both clan leaders should try to press the "Start War" button as close to the same time as possible. This will increase the chances that your clans will be matched against each other. You may have to coordinate over the phone or chat app to make sure you press at the same time. This process is based on timing and luck, so there's a good chance that it won't work right when you try. You'll just have to try again the next time your clan is ready for war.


Try to dye your hair a color that isn't so different from your normal color to avoid being caught. Consider using a semi-permanent dye.

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

Ask yourself if the new hair color is worth it. Drastically changing your hair color, especially to an unusual color such as purple, will be very difficult to hide. Permanent hair dyes are very long lasting, requiring you to wait for it to grow out, cutting it out, or dyeing over it.  Semi-permanent hair dyes last for three weeks to several months and can be washed out with repeated shampooing.  The longer your hair is dyed the greater your chances of being discovered are. Temporary dyes can be removed by washing them out of your hair. Permanent hair dyes cannot be washed out.


Try to empathize with someone who treats you poorly. Take deep breaths and stay calm. Try to maintain relaxed body language.

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

Though this may be difficult to do, showing empathy towards the person can help to turn a potential conflict into a more friendly discussion. Rather than react with anger or annoyance, you can try asking the person questions that are empathetic. Showing concern toward the person could be disarming and make them feel they actually have someone they can talk to, rather than simply be mean to. For example, you may be around a person who asks hurtful, pointed questions at work. They may do this to you or to others. Rather than get upset or angry at them, you may pull them aside and ask, “Are you okay?” or “What’s going on with you?” Getting sincere attention and concern from someone could be what they need to actually open up and be less aggressive or mean. If you are around someone who treats you poorly on a constant basis, then try to learn techniques for maintaining your cool around the person. Take deep, cleansing breaths when you start to get annoyed or frustrated. Focus on staying calm because getting upset or angry may give the unkind person more motivation to be mean.  You may try doing five minutes of silent meditation in a quiet place at home or in your office to relax and calm down. Or, you can try deep breathing. Close your eyes and take a deep breath from your diaphragm for a count of five. Then, exhale slowly for a count of five. Repeat this several times until you feel calm and refreshed. Focus on maintaining relaxed body language when you are around someone who treats you poorly. Getting tense and anxious around the person will only make you more upset and unsettled. Keep your hands at your sides and stand with your shoulders rolled back. Also, try to maintain eye contact with the person, though you may not want to stare or pay too much attention to the person. Maintaining eye contact can cause the person to engage with you for a longer period of time.


Try to exercise regularly. Change your diet. Follow a consistent sleep schedule Get some sun. Have a good support system. Consider psychotherapy. Consider meditation.

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

Studies show that regular exercise can help produce endorphins and increase neurotransmitters that may help with symptoms of depression. Try to exercise for approximately thirty minutes each day. A healthy diet can help improve your overall health. In particular, omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help as an adjunctive therapy for depression.  Omega-3- fatty acids are contained in foods such as kale, spinach, flaxseeds, walnuts, and fatty fish such as salmon. They are also available over the counter, usually as fish oil gelatin capsules. Studies that showed benefit of omega-3 fatty acids in mood disorders included doses between 1 – 9 grams; however, more evidence supports the lower doses in that range. . Sleep is often disturbed by depression. It is important to follow good sleep hygiene to ensure you are getting proper rest. Good sleep hygiene includes:  Going to bed and getting up the same time each day Avoiding stimulation before sleeping, such as exercise, watching TV, or doing computer work Avoiding alcohol and caffeine before bed Avoiding eating large meals and drinking large amounts of liquid within a few hours of bedtime Sleeping in a cool, dark and quiet room Associating your bed with sleep as opposed to reading or doing other work There is not a consensus on how much exposure you need to help symptoms of depression; however, researchers agree some types of depression, such as seasonal affective disorder, may benefit from getting more exposure to sunlight. Research also suggests sunlight can affect your levels of serotonin. Generally, there isn’t a maximum amount of exposure for sunlight. Make sure you do wear sunscreen if you are going to be in the sun longer than 15 minutes. Throughout the process, stay in touch with your doctor and let your doctor know about your status, feelings, or symptoms. Keep a relative or close friend involved as well. They may be able to provide emotional support or recognize signs of relapse. An analysis of different studies found that people who undergo psychotherapy...

Try to figure out what illnesses will get you sent home. Choose an illness that’s been going around so it's more convincing. Commit to faking 1 illness. Complain of common symptoms if you just want to take a rest.

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

Simply complaining that you generally don’t feel well won’t likely get you sent home. Most schools have a set of guidelines that nurses follow to know when a kid needs to go home. Ask your friends what was wrong with them last time they were in the nurse’s office. You can also pay attention to any newsletters that your school sends home about student illnesses. Typically, a school will send you home if you:  Have a fever Have diarrhea Have vomited Another good option is to pay attention to whether or not any of your classmates have been sick. If there is an illness that has been passed around your school, you will probably have a pretty easy time convincing the nurse that you’ve contracted it.  Ask your friends who have been sick recently what symptoms they had. Make a mental note to include those when you talk to the nurse. Add a personal connection, if you can. Try, “I have a terrible sore throat. I did spend the night at Joey’s over the weekend. I hope I didn’t catch whatever he has.” Don’t plan to lay it on too thick. If you complain of too many things, the nurse might get suspicious. For example, don’t complain of diarrhea, a sore throat, and earache, body aches, and coughing. The nurse probably won’t believe that you’re really dealing with all of that. Instead, focus on 1 illness. If you want to fake stomach problems, for example, you could complain of cramping in your stomach and diarrhea. If your goal is not to get sent home, you’ll probably have an easier time convincing the nurse that you’re sick. If you just want to take some time out from class (maybe because you forgot to do the homework), aim to just get the nurse to let you rest in their office for a bit. You could try saying, “I have a pounding headache. I think it would really help if I could just be in here for a while where it is quiet.”


Try to figure out why they’re ignoring you. Let them cool off. Distract yourself with work, school, or hobbies. Spend time with people who care about you. Think about how you’ve reacted to this behavior in the past.

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

Depending on the situation, this may be pretty obvious. If you’ve had a huge fight with your wife, for instance, you may know exactly why she’s giving you the cold shoulder. If you aren’t aware of any problems between yourself and the person ignoring you, though, consider if you might have done something to upset them.  For instance, maybe you were gossiping about a friend behind their back. Whatever you said could have gotten back to them. If you left someone out of your plans or didn’t return their calls or messages, they might be hurt by your behavior. Regardless of why you’re being ignored, the worst thing you can do is to constantly hound the person. Don’t send a bunch of messages, call repeatedly, or keep asking them why they’re ignoring you. Give them some time to figure out how they feel and how, or if, they want to get in touch with you.  A single message or call is fine, but don’t send a bunch of texts like, “Why are you ignoring me?” “What did I do wrong?” or “Please talk to me!” Not only will these messages probably annoy the person, but they might also make you look desperate. It can be really hard to avoid trying to solve the problem immediately. However, you can’t control the other person, so it’s best to just give them some space. Trying to figure out why someone is ignoring you, or obsessing over the fact that they are ignoring you, can take up a lot of time and energy. However, it’s not productive and will only make you miserable. Continue with your daily life and activities. Throwing yourself into your job or schoolwork is a productive way to keep from thinking about the problem. During your free time, spend time doing things you enjoy, whether that’s fishing, baking, playing soccer, woodworking, writing poetry, swimming, knitting, or coding! While it can feel really bad to be on the outs with someone important in your life, they’re probably not the only person you enjoy spending time with. Reach out to other friends and family members and ask them to hang out. Take the time to build up...


Try to find natural shelter. Build a lean-to shelter. Build a tee-pee shelter. Start a fire as quickly as possible. Use the fire plow method to light a fire.

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

You need to find shelter for protection from the elements and predators.   You don't know what lives on the island. Wild animals, especially predators, can pose a distinct threat. You will want to avoid the elements. Getting too wet isn't good even in warm conditions. It doesn't have to be fancy, just safe. Look for natural shelter such as rock outcroppings for temporary shelter until you can build a better structure. This type of shelter consists of a large felled tree or branch braced against a large rock wall or standing tree.   Find a large branch and brace it securely against a large tree. Place smaller branches at 45 degree angles along the larger branch. Drop leaves and foliage over the shelter to provide cover and additional protection from the elements. This can be a temporary shelter until you build a more secure tee-pee type of shelter. This is a more secure and permanent type of shelter which provides optimal protection from animals and the elements.   Gather 10-20 long branches. The thicker these are, the stronger the structure will be. Stick 3 of the branches into the ground to create a tripod. Place the remaining branches in a circle around the tripod, leaving room for an entrance. Cover the structure with leaves, brush, and other foliage for protection. You need to keep warm, even if it's warm during the day.  It could get cold at night, so it is best to have a source of warmth. You will especially need a fire if you get wet from rain. It is important to stay as dry as possible. Also, the smoke might attract passing ships but keep it under control. Find tinder such as small dry twigs, grasses, and flammable debris. Arrange smaller twigs in a tripod with tinder underneath. Light the fire using a mirror, binoculars, or reflective surface by reflecting sunlight onto the dry kindling. For this method you will need a piece of soft wood, tinder, and a hard stick.   Take the piece of soft wood and dig a groove into it with the stick. Place tinder on the end of the soft wood that you want to ignite....


Try to forget it’s there. Prepare those you share a bed with ahead of time. Don’t be afraid of your insulin pump. Learn the risks.

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

Much of the struggle of sleeping with an insulin pump is psychological. Keep in mind that it's only about the size of a cell phone.  Trying to forget it’s there or to keep it from your mind may help aid the sleeping process.  As long as you’re thinking about the pump, it will be difficult for you to get restful sleep.  Establish a safe and secure place for your insulin pump before going to bed so you don’t have to worry about its location while you’re trying to sleep. Try not to let your mind focus on the feeling of the pump or accessories.  Instead focus on things that help you sleep, such as the things found in How to fall asleep. Give yourself time to get accustomed to using your insulin pump, changes take time to get used to, but most people find they can sleep easily with one after a short transition. Part of the stress of sleeping with an insulin pump is based on how it may affect those you share your bed with.  The easiest way to overcome this stressor is to speak openly with your family about your insulin pump.  Discuss the insulin pump with your significant other so you can both address any questions that may arise. If you share a bed with your children it might be time to have them sleep in their own beds.  Insulin pumps are resilient pieces of equipment but children could easily get tangled up in the tubes or play with the pump as you sleep. Insulin pumps are designed for everyday use and are surprisingly resilient.  The longer you live with your pump, the more familiar you will become with it and how it works.  Spend some time familiarizing yourself with it and learning what it’s capable of.  Insulin pumps are built to be worn all day and slept with, so they can take a decent amount of punishment with little to no issue. If you roll onto your insulin pump, it will not damage it.  It may make you a bit uncomfortable, so you may wake up to roll over. Insulin pump buttons are designed to be very difficult to press by accident, so even if you sleep on the pump, the chances of causing any issues are...


Try to forgive. Let go of negative feelings. State your forgiveness, at least to yourself. Forgive without rebuilding. Keep trying.

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

Forgiveness does not mean that you are condoning the act of betrayal. It means that you are choosing to move on from feelings of resentment. Forgiveness can lead to empathy and compassion for those who have betrayed you. It can also lead to a greater sense of personal peace. Forgiveness can have a positive effect on your health and wellbeing. Choosing to forgive a betrayal can lower your blood pressure, improve your heart health, and diminish anxiety and depression. Focus on yourself instead of on the person who hurt you. Tell yourself you are not interested in letting the betrayal control your life or your happiness. When a negative thought comes to you, do not suppress it. Instead, greet it and tell it to leave. When it comes back, acknowledge and release it again. If you are having trouble letting go of the negative feelings, return to your method of self-care. Try visiting a meditation or yoga class for help releasing your negative thoughts. To forgive is an act of self-care. You do not have to voice it to anyone else. If you feel like sharing your new mindset, you can tell the person or people who betrayed you that you have forgiven them. If you are unable or unwilling to resume contact, stating your forgiveness to yourself can help you move on from the pain of betrayal. If you would like to share your forgiveness without confronting those who betrayed you, write a letter. If you find yourself growing angry as you write, keep the letter and try again when your anger has ebbed. You can forgive the person who betrayed you without rebuilding your relationship. Some betrayals of trust mean the end of a relationship. If the betrayal involved partner or child abuse, it is unlikely that trust could or should be restored. To forgive doesn't mean that you think the act was right or justifiable in any way. If the person who has betrayed you has died or refuses contact, it will not be possible to rebuild a relationship. You will have to move forward into forgiveness without their help. If you are having trouble...


Try to get a full night's sleep. Create a sleep schedule for yourself. Dim the lights and make your room dark and cozy. Avoid electronic gadgets before bed. Do not use your bed for other activities. Try relaxing once you get into bed. Sleep on your side. Stop hitting the snooze button. Arrange nap times. Manage sleepiness at work.

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

Getting a full night's sleep every night keeps you from feeling drowsy and being susceptible to sleep attacks. If you wake up during the night, try to fall back to sleep rather than getting up. If necessary, adjust your sleeping environment to make it easier for you to fall asleep. The amount of sleep you need each night depends on your age, lifestyle, and a variety of other factors. In general, school-aged children need 9 to 11 hours of sleep, while adults over the age of 18 generally need 7 or 8 hours of sleep. Avoid alcohol and sugary foods 4 to 6 hours before heading to bed. These can act as a stimulant to keep you awake. Set fixed times for when you wake up and when you go to bed at night. Try to stick to these times as closely as possible in order to help get your body into a regular sleep pattern. You do not have to go to bed early, but try to make it as regular as possible. By doing this, you may be able to train your body and brain to stick to your sleeping schedule so you do not fall asleep when you are supposed to be awake. For example, plan to get up at 7:00 AM every morning, and go to bed at 11:30 PM every night. You can also go to bed at 1:00 AM and get up at 9:00 AM. Stick to those times every day of the week to help get your body acclimated to being awake at certain times and asleep at other times. Try to create an environment that will help you to fall asleep. Reduce the amount of light and noise that comes into your room as much as possible. Close your curtains or blinds to make your room dark. You can also wear an eye mask to block out light. Keep the temperature comfortably cool, which is typically between 65 and 75 °F (18 and 24 °C). The room should also be well ventilated so it doesn't get stuffy. When you are in a dark environment, your brain begins to produce melatonin, which is the hormone that regulates sleep. The backlight emitted from electronic devices can reduce the amount of melatonin that your brain secretes. Melatonin is the chemical that your brain produces to help you sleep....


Try to get enough sleep. Try to nap during the day. Make rest and sleep a priority.

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

Most people need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night. This is especially difficult for breastfeeding moms who are frequently required to nurse throughout the night. Getting enough rest, however, is important when trying to lose weight.  If you are tired, you will be more likely to reach for a quick shot of energy in the form of carbohydrates or sugar. Your brain’s reward centers become more active when you are tired and you might start looking for an easy fix. A study has shown that sleeping too little leads some people to eat bigger portions of food, and thus additional calories. This can quickly derail your weight loss plans.   You are also less likely to be physically active if you are not getting enough rest. Exercising or going to the gym seem impossible when you are sleep-deprived.  Consider pumping your milk and allowing your partner to take over one or two feedings during the night so you can sleep. This is particularly true for mothers of infants. The old adage of “nap while the baby naps” is good advice. Take advantage of family members and friends who offer to watch your baby for a few hours so you can rest.  Don't spend all of your baby's nap time doing chores around the house. Take some time to rest while your baby sleeps. Let other people take over some household responsibilities. If you have older children, make a chore chart and get them to do simple and age-appropriate chores like dishes, vacuuming, or taking out the trash. Just getting off of your feet and resting is beneficial for your body. Remember your body is working extra hard to make food for your baby, be kind to it. Napping has additional benefits aside from helping you lose weight. A recent study has shown that mothers who nap are less fatigued overall and able to foster more positive interactions with their infants. It is very easy as a new mother to put other people first. While taking care of your baby is very important, taking care of yourself is also a necessity. There are a few strategies you can use to optimize your...


Try to hang out in group settings. Avoid touch. Go easy on the compliments. Do not respond to flirtatious gestures and comments.

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

To send the signal you just want to be friends, keep the guy in question in your friends group. Avoid solo hang outs. When inviting him out, make it clear a whole group is coming and not just the two of you.  For example, invite him to a movie night with a group of friends. You can also redirect him if he asks you to go somewhere with him. For example, say he asks you to go to a party with him. Say something like, "Oh, I'm going with a whole group of my friends. You're totally welcome to join." Many people are casually touchy with their friends. You may hug friends hello or goodbye or casually pat friends on the shoulder during conversation. If you think a guy likes you, refrain from engaging in these rituals with him. This can easily send the wrong message. It's normal to compliment your friends. However, you don't want to go overboard complimenting a guy you think likes you. This may make him think you're interested when you're not.  For example, say he's wearing a shirt you like. Saying something like, "You look nice today" could come off as flirtatious. Instead, find a less flirty comment. Say something like, "Nice shirt!" You could also forego commenting altogether, just to be safe. If the guy starts flirting with you, try your best to ignore it. Responding to flirtation could be read the wrong way. If the guy, say, grins at you from across the room, return his gaze with a curt nod rather than smiling back. If a guy is persistently flirting with you in ways that make you feel uncomfortable, say something. For example, "I really don't like you touching me all the time."


Try to have fun while playing. Exert caution when playing with toys. Avoid giving your child toxic things to play with. Pick age-appropriate toys. Pick out larger toys as your child grows.

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

There are a myriad of activities and games that you can engage your toddler in.  Make these games count and be sure that these activities are fun for her. Equally important is that you have fun too. Despite the fact that you have a lot going on, make sure that you are genuine when playing with your child; if you are bored, you child will be able to sense it.  Remember that you are the ultimate playmate; your child will find any activity more fun and enjoyable when you are playing with her. While playing, talk to your child about what she likes, her interests, and what she finds fun. Until your child is old enough to understand that toys are not for eating, make sure to buy toys that are larger than her mouth to prevent her from choking. Don't pick toys with cords or strings that are longer than 12 inches (30.5 cm). These strings or cords could strangle your toddler. Always supervise your child when she is playing with a new toy for the first time. You may not even realize that something, like a paintbrush, could pose a hazard. If that paint brush had come into contact with lead paint however, it could be a health threat. Read labels on toys and keep safety in mind when letting your child roam around you house and pick things up. Generally steer clear of items with lead, mercury, arsenic and other chemicals. As a parent, you should try to be realistic about your child's age and maturity; follow the “recommended age” sign written on the toy's box. Toys with little parts cannot be given to children less than 8 or 10 years old because they might put these parts in their mouth, nose or ears.. Toddlers 19 to 24 months of age will show a bit more independence in their actions. Toys for your toddler at this time are basically still the same as when she was 18 months old, but can be bigger; this includes bigger blocks and bricks, or bigger balls alongside the smaller ones. These larger toys provide the opportunity to develop her perception skills. Other toys for this age group include:  Toy instruments. Puzzles. Art...


Try to identify the purpose of the work. Describe your own reaction to the work. Back up your interpretation with examples.

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

In other words, what do you think the artist was trying to say with the work? Why did they create the work? Try to summarize the overall meaning of the work, as you see it. Now it’s time to get a little more subjective. Think about how you feel while looking at the work. What do you think is the overall mood of the work? Does it remind you of anything (ideas, experiences, other works of art)? Use expressive language to talk about your reaction to the work. For example, is the mood of the work sad? Hopeful? Peaceful? Would you describe the work as beautiful, or ugly? Use examples from your description and analysis of the work to explain why you think and feel the way you do about the piece. For example, “I believe that James Sant’s portrait of a young bride is intended to give a sense of the bride’s spiritual devotion. This is indicated by the line of the composition, which draws the viewer’s eye upward, following the upward gaze of the subject. It is also suggested by warm light, coming from a source somewhere above the young woman.”


Try to incorporate feedback into future videos. Create distinct vlogs every time. Establish a theme. Promote your vlogs.

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

After posting your vlog, you may get some feedback from viewers. While not all feedback is useful (or actionable), pay attention if you notice a common theme among the feedback; this demonstrates that enough of the people who saw your vlog felt the same way that you should consider using their feedback in future vlogs. For example, if a few people mention that the music was too loud or obtrusive, try lowering the volume of music in future vlogs. You can keep the same general formula for your vlog, but make sure you aren't simply copying your steps from the previous vlog. For example, if your last vlog involved going to a coffee shop in the afternoon and then visiting food carts, try to avoid both of these activities in the next few vlogs. Once you've created a few vlogs, you'll probably begin to see a trend taking shape. At this point, it's good to determine what that trend is and figure out how to continue it in future vlogs. This will ensure that the people who view your content know what to expect when you upload something, and you'll have a general framework for your content going forward. As with any form of expression, your vlogs will likely change over time. Knowing your general theme will help make this transition more gradual than if you're uploading without knowing what the overarching theme is. Once you have a few vlogs uploaded to your platform of choice, begin talking about them on other forms of social media (e.g., Facebook and Twitter). This is a good way to grow your vlogs' collective audience.  An easy way to do this is by creating a Facebook page for your vlogs and then posting links to the vlogs there. You might even want to notify a few close friends whenever you post; if they enjoy your content, they may share it with their friends as well.


Try to increase your income. Think about the costs of having a child. Consider the cost of child care and education. Plan for a decrease in your income. Save as much as possible. Look into the possibility of working from home. Check into disability insurance. Try to save on baby gear.

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

If possible, before you start trying to conceive, consider working extra hours or doing side work to raise extra money. Having a family is expensive – often more expensive than people realize. Increasing your income now will help offset future costs. Children are expensive. You will need to buy equipment (crib, stroller, car seat, high chair, and the like), clothes, diapers, and feeding supplies. Ideally, you should research the costs of these things in your area before you start trying to conceive. If you plan to return to work, you will need to find quality child care. Depending on your area, you may also need to pay for your child's education once he or she reaches school age. These are major expenses that must be considered before you start a family. If you do plan to use a child care provider, make sure you find one that is fully licensed. Doing so will help ensure that you can deduct some of the expense from your taxable income. Even if you plan to return to work after the birth of your baby, chances are that during and after your pregnancy, you'll miss work for various reasons. Additionally, depending on your job, you may not be paid for any maternity leave you take. When you are planning to have kids, you should start saving as much money as you can. Doing so will help offset future costs. It will also make you feel more comfortable and secure in your decision to start a family. If your job allows it, working from home may help you solve some of the most common problems with work-life balance while keeping all or part of your income. Note, however, that even if you work from home, you will probably need to pay for some child care. Otherwise, you will struggle to accomplish anything when home with your child. Depending on your job and your area, you may benefit from disability insurance, which could, in some situations, make sure that you continue to earn an income during your pregnancy. Do some research, and factor that into your plans. You may be able to purchase some items used, and you may be able...


Try to keep a regular schedule as best as you can. Find sneaky ways to be a little healthier. Work on basic hygiene. Stay away from unhealthy coping mechanisms. Don't be afraid to ask people to help you with self care and other basic tasks.

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

It's going to be hard at first, but you may have to force yourself to eat regular meals and sleep regularly. This too will take time, so be patient with yourself.  You may need to function at a sub-optimal level for some time. This is okay. When you have depression, it can be hard to put effort into your health. Something is better than nothing. Find little ways you can look after yourself, and then be proud of yourself.   If food prep is hard, try eating a healthy no-prep snack, like an apple or string cheese. You can even keep a non-perishable snack (like a jar of nuts) at your desk. Do mini exercises, like leg lifts while watching TV, or lifting a five-pound weight while lying in bed. Depression can make ordinary tasks (like brushing your teeth or showering) monumentally difficult. They are, however, very important for your health. Neglecting them for too long can make you sick, or cause health problems later on.   Try to brush your teeth at least once a day. Even a cursory brush, without toothpaste, is better than nothing. You can also scrape your teeth with a washcloth to help remove buildup. Try to shower at least every other day. Use baby wipes to wipe areas that tend to get sweaty, like your armpits and the zone under your bra. Apply deodorant. If you're too tired to get dressed, at least change your pajamas and your underwear every day. You can also put on an old t-shirt and sweatpants if you're feeling well enough. Sometimes, when people are suffering, they are tempted to abuse alcohol, use drugs, or binge eat. This can harm your body, and make you feel even worse. Look for other options. Depression can make it hard to initiate tasks, and stay focused on them. Sometimes, having another person there with you can help a lot. You can ask for help with some hygiene and cleaning tasks that you're struggling to manage. Here are some examples of things you could say:   "I'm exhausted, and having a hard time cleaning my house. Would you please come over and help me? I've got root beer and vanilla ice cream,...


Try to limit interactions. Be nice to the offending person. Separate your work life from your personal life. Report the situation if it gets out of hand.

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

While it's not always possible to completely avoid a co-worker, you can strive to keep interactions as infrequent as possible. Simply avoiding interaction is probably the easiest way to cope.  Some interactions are probably unavoidable, especially if you two work together directly. However, you can avoid chatting with this co-worker in the break room or during downtime. If you notice your co-worker come in, politely excuse yourself by saying something like, "Well, got to get back to work. Nice seeing you."  When you do have to interact with the co-worker, keep things professional. Avoid bringing up personal matters or things irrelevant to the task at hand as, when dealing with someone who dislikes you, this is an invitation for negative interaction. Many psychological studies indicate that it's very difficult to dislike someone who likes you. If your co-worker feels you respect and like him or her, some of the dislike he or she may have towards you might fade.  Tell someone else in the office that you like and respect the problem co-worker. That information may get repeated secondhand. When such a message does not come directly from you, your co-worker may be more likely to believe it. Show a genuine interest in your co-worker's input. People tend to like people who pay attention and engage with them. While you should still stick to avoiding this person when possible, during the times you do have to interact listen to what he or she says actively. This might make your co-worker's dislike you less.  Small, friendly interactions can help as well. Something as simple as "good morning" can go a long way. If you have trouble interacting with a particular colleague, try to separate your work life from your personal life. You do not have to socialize with colleagues outside of work. If the co-worker who dislikes you is frequently part of Friday night happy hours, forego these events and seeing the friends you know from outside work. You do not want to report behavior unnecessarily. However, you should certainly...


Try to listen out for music playing in your head. Think of mental imagery while you play. Compose a springboard idea. Write follow-up ideas. Play around with volume and dynamic. Work some healthy repetition into your composition. Add vocals if you want. Get a friend's advice. Make revisions.

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

Many composers report hearing music in their head when they sit down to compose, as if the piece they're working on is already complete and just needs to be written down for the sake of others. Creative intuition isn't the sort of thing that can be forced, and a lot of it will depend on the way you're feeling at the time. However, if you can pick up an interesting musical idea in your head, don't hesitate to run with it. It's easy for our inner judge to get the best of us and censor ideas before we even try them out. When you're composing music, it's best if you drop this self-doubt. Even if you think something is a bad idea, there's a chance it may lead to something more promising when you start playing around with it. The experience of watching films has had a major impact on the way we associate music with visuals. In your mind's eye, try to picture a scene that would spark the same sort of emotions you'd hope to evoke in this composition. For instance, if you want a gentle, soothing composition, you might envision a quiet lake in springtime. Likewise, if you want something angry and dramatic, you might think of a warzone. From there, imagine what kind of music might score a visual shot like this. This technique doesn't always work, but if you're a visual thinker, it's certainly worth trying out. Most compositions will start with a springboard idea, that is, the first part of the music written that all other pieces are based upon. This may be the most time-consuming part of your composition. It's all about latching onto the first part of your composition and running with it once you get it. Playing scales and experimenting with different chord shapes can turn this process into a sort of enjoyable play. If you play around on the piano and come up with a great idea, you should play that motif in your head and imagine what might come before or afterwards. Follow-up ideas should generally have the same tone and direction of your original idea. For the first while, focus on making ideas that work together. If...


Try to live in a Christ-like way. Study your scriptures and pray each day. Understand that the Bible calls you to share your faith.

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

While no one can be perfect all the time, if you want to be a good witness for Christ, you should try to embody his teachings as much as you can.  Avoid sinful behavior like lying, cheating, or jealousy. That way, when you do get a chance to witness to someone else, your behavior won't contradict your message. However, some of the most obvious qualities of a relationship with God show from deep within, not just in your actions.  In Galatians 5:22-23, the Bible says: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” By embodying these qualities, you'll be a living witness of your relationship with God and the power He has to influence your life. Forgiveness is another trait that Christ taught, so do your best to forgive those who have wronged you. The best way to have a strong relationship with God is to read your Bible every day, and to pray to Him constantly. When you're reading the Bible, you can read it from start to finish, you can read guided devotionals to read a short lesson along with your Scripture, or you can even just open it to a random page and start reading. No matter what approach you choose, pray that God will give you the words you need to hear that day, and ask Him to guide you as you seek to share His message that day. Read the Bible, memorize scripture, pray for opportunities to share God's word with receptive hearts. In addition to helping you feel close to God, reading and memorizing the Bible can help you have more confidence when you're witnessing to others because you'll be able to answer their questions from a Biblical perspective. 1 Peter 3:15 says: "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." It can sometimes seem awkward or uncomfortable to talk to other people about their spiritual beliefs. You might not feel confident enough to be a good witness, or you might be afraid of pushing them away from God, being criticized, or losing a friend. In...


Try to look at the bright side of things. Do an act of charity for someone else. Make a point to make the world a better place every time you leave the place of your dwelling. Slow down. Practice forgiveness. Be honest. Make these small gestures a daily habit. Be empathetic.

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

Bring a positive attitude to every situation. Negativity only hurts yourself and others. If you are negative, it has an impact on the way you treat others. Our mentality can influence the achievements of our days. If something doesn't turn your way, try to change what you can, smile, stay positive, and move on. The Motto of the Christophers says: "It is better to light a single candle than it is to curse the darkness." Be that light. When you see controversy, try to be the one who changes the subject by suggesting a solution. Don't state what you would do, but ask everyone to get involved. Try to do something nice for someone every day, even if it's something small. An act of kindness and generosity can have a great influence. Smile, hold the door open for someone, pay it forward at the drive through - just try to do something to make someone's day. Even reach out to people who have been cold or indifferent to you. Show someone who is rude to you the example of your kindness. Maybe people have always been rude to them. Be the person who shows them kindness instead. Every time you interact with the world you have an opportunity to do something good and positive. It does not have to be something big, but can be something like picking up some trash that someone threw down in a local park or in front of your neighbor's home. Be conscientious and find a way to give back to the world. Easy ways to make a positive change include:  Recycling Buying organic and locally grown food Being a responsible pet owner by cleaning up after your pets  Donating old items to shelters or charitable organizations instead of a thrift store  Putting items back in the store where you got them instead of leaving them Not taking the closest parking space so you leave it for someone who needs it more Don't be in a hurry in life. Slow down and enjoy the simple things. Time is a medium that helps us organize our days. Sometimes you have to follow the timetable, like when you're on your way to work or getting your kids to school. But if you...


Try to peer through the glass. Shine a light on it. Sound it out. Perform the fingernail test. Consider the extreme measure of breaking the glass.

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

Press your face up to the mirror and cup your hands around it, creating a dark tunnel to block out as much light as possible. When you do this, if the light in the observation room is at all brighter than the light on your side of the mirror, you should be able to see something beyond the glass. If you're still not convinced, turn off the lights, then hold a flashlight to the mirror (it can even be the "flashlight" on your smartphone). If it is a two-way mirror, the room on the other side will be illuminated and you'll be able to see it. Tap on the surface of the mirror with your knuckle. A normal mirror will produce a dull, flat sound, since it's placed in front of a wall. An observation mirror will produce an open, hollow and reverberating sound because there is an open space on the other side. The sound of tapping a two-way mirror has also been described as bright or sharp as opposed to a thud from an everyday mirror. While it is not completely accurate, you can use your fingernail to determine if the mirror is a first or a second surface mirror. Simply place your fingernail on the surface of the mirror. When you touch your fingernail to a second surface mirror, you can't touch your own reflection; instead, you will see a gap caused by a second layer of glass over the mirrored surface. When you touch your finger to a first surface mirror, you can touch your own reflection, since there's no additional layer of glass in between. First surface mirrors are very rare, so if you find one there's likely to be a very specific reason and it's very possible that it's a two-way mirror. Second surface mirrors are your ubiquitous everyday mirrors.  Due to variables like lighting and the material with which the mirror is manufactured, it can be really difficult to tell whether you are truly touching your reflection or not. You might think you're touching a first surface mirror when you're actually not. Also, it's possible for a two-way mirror to be a second surface mirror. If other aspects of the situation, like the...


Try to pick a ripe lemon the first time around. Look for a lemon that has a bright, yellow color. Choose a lemon that is heavy for its size. Check the firmness. Look for lemons that have a smooth or glossy texture. Know how to pick lemons off of trees. Taste the lemon to test whether or not it is truly ripe.

Because lemons don't really ripen once they are picked, it's best to pick the right lemon from the start. This section will give you a few tips on what to look for when selecting lemons. Once you know what to look for, you will be less-likely to choose and be stuck with an under-ripe lemon. Keep in mind, however, that lemons ripen from the inside. This means that the lemon's skin will be the last part to ripen. You can still have a lemon that is ripe and juicy on the inside, and greenish on the outside. Myer lemons will have a deeper yellow color; some might be more orange. This means that the lemon is filled with a lot of juice. Most lemons will be between 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 centimeters) long. The ideal lemon should be firm, yet somewhat tender. A lemon that is too hard will be either under-ripe or shriveled inside. Myer lemons have a thinner skin than regular lemons. They are ripe when they are soft. If you can push the skin of the lemon in more than ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) it may be over-ripe. Lemons that have too much of a bumpy texture will be under-ripe or not juicy enough. Another thing to look for is a waxy shine on the surface of the lemon. Watch out for wrinkling. This is a sign your lemon is overripe. If you are harvesting lemons from a tree, you might want to put on a pair of gardening gloves; lemon trees often have thorns that can scratch you if you are not careful. Find a ripe fruit and grasp it in your hand. Gently twist it. The lemon should come off easily If it doesn't come off easily, then it probably is not ripe yet. If you are looking to harvest a bunch of lemons, but aren't sure whether or not they are ripe, you can always cut one in half and taste it. Most lemons will have a sour, but not bitter, taste to them. Meyer lemons, however, will be a little more sweet and less sour. Use a refractometer if you don’t want to test by taste, sight, or touch. Squeeze a drop of juice from the lemon onto the refractometer and look at the Brix scale. Pick lemons that have a sucrose level...


Try to purchase front row tickets the minute they go on sale. Arrive right when the doors open if you have general admission tickets. Bring the proper supplies. Reduce your liquid intake a few hours before the concert.

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

If the concert venue or the musical artist has a mailing list, sign up. Oftentimes, they'll offer pre-sale tickets which can increase your chances of getting a limited front row spot. If you're willing to shell out a little more, you can also look into purchasing a VIP package that often comes with premium seating. Whether you're trying to purchase via pre-sale or regular sale, make sure to set your alarm and be on the ticket website right when tickets go on sale. The faster you are, the more tickets you'll have to choose from.  If there are no front row tickets available, you can try the "high risk, high reward" approach of waiting until the day of the concert to check again. Some venues will release more premium seats right before doors open. Typically these are tickets that the artist or venue management reserved that ended up being unused. Sometimes you can even find front row tickets through scalpers or CraigsList. However, you may not be able to get tickets until right before the concert, and buying them from an unauthorized vendor comes with risks. Sometimes this is only an hour before the show begins, and other times it's hours. Depending on how committed you are to getting a spot in the front row, you should get there as early as you can. You can stake out a prime spot before the venue begins to fill up. This, of course, is the easiest way to get a front row spot without fighting through crowds.  Sometimes, you have to take this step to the extreme and camp out before a big concert. You may have to camp out in a line to get your front row tickets. You can learn all about camping out overnight here!  Arriving super early or camping out can turn a simple concert into a weekend-long event. Bring your favorite friends, and make it a party. If it’s an outdoor venue, you may be able to claim your territory with picnic blankets or lawn chairs. Sunscreen and a water bottle (if allowed) are also helpful so you can stay in your spot comfortably. If it’s indoor and standing room only, you’ll need to wear...


Try to reach an agreement with the other parent. Negotiate effectively. Try a custody experiment. Consider mediation.

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

Before involving the legal system in your family's affairs, it is advisable to try to come to a mutual understanding/agreement with the other parent concerning what will happen to your child after a divorce or separation. A court will usually accept this agreement, so long as its terms are in the best interests of the child. Even if you plan to eventually get the courts involved, try this approach first. This will give you the most control over your child's future (and avoid having a result you might not like imposed by the court) and, in the event you do have to go before a judge, you can bring up the fact that you at least tried to resolve the dispute on your own, showing you care about your child's wellbeing and demonstrating your ability to compromise. While discussing custody with the other parent, it is important to not let your emotions get the best of you. This process, by its very nature, is a contentious one, and losing your cool will not help anyone. Remember that your goal is to make sure your child's needs are met in the best possible way. With that in mind, try to remember the following during the negotiation process:  Remain sensitive to your child's needs. This is not about you. Try to understand the other parent's position and concerns. Thinking about things from the other person's perspective will help you ultimately reach an agreement that works for everyone. Know what the law permits. Custody laws vary by state, both in what types of arrangements are allowed and what factors can influence the court when making a custody decision. Keep these in mind when trying to reach an agreement. Focus on common ground. Likely, both you and the other parent want what is best for your child. Keep the discussion away from contentious issues or divisive language and instead focus on obtaining an agreement that works for you and your child. If you and the other parent can't reach a custody agreement right away, try proposing a trial run for a particular custody arrangement. Establish that, for the next...


Try to realize that you are, in fact, dreaming. You can also wear something like a watch to focus on as you drift asleep. Try the MILD technique. Prevent uncomfortable dreams. Try light stimulus. Combine different lucid dreaming techniques.

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

This is called "lucid dreaming." Essentially, lucid dreaming is simply becoming aware of the fact that you are dreaming while you are dreaming without waking up. Once you successfully achieve this, you can be in control of your dreams. Lucid dreaming makes the possibilities of your dreams endless, and minimizes the risk of an uncomfortable dream. Make mental notes about your surroundings/environment when you are awake. When you do this in a conscious state on a regular basis, your psyche will bring these habits into the dream state as well. Then, when you dream, you can identify details about your surroundings/environment that will serve as clues that you are dreaming. Once you achieve this, you may be able to become lucid in the dream state. As long as it's comfortable but not so comfortable that it feels like your normal wear. Besides just making mental notes of your surroundings/environment, you can explicitly ask yourself whether you are dreaming or awake at various times throughout the day. Again, making a habit of such a practice will very likely carry over into the dream world so that you may recognize you are dreaming once in the dream state, should you ask yourself at that time. This is called the reflection technique. Stephen LaBerge developed the Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD) technique as a means to helping people achieve lucid dreaming. It requires that you try to recall your dreams as completely as possible as soon as possible after waking, then tell yourself that you will remember that you are dreaming as you fall back asleep, followed by imagining that you are already dreaming lucidly and imagining the dream itself, and repeating these steps until you are asleep and dreaming again. If you follow these steps effectively, you may be able to become aware of the dream within the dream, thereby becoming lucid and gaining control over the dream. Sometimes, with enough concentration, you can determine what you will dream about before you go to sleep. This is called intentionality, and it...


Try to recall your dreams. Keep a dream journal. Pay attention to context. Pay attention to dream figures. Pay attention to emotions.

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

The first step to predicting the future through dreams to is to remember them. Prophetic dreams, also called “precognitive dreams,” do not occur much, if at all, so you will have to be vigilant when it comes to remembering and reading your dreams. With effort, you can get better at holding onto the dreams, images, and symbols after waking.  When you wake, hold the dream in your mind’s eye. This is when the dream is freshest and before your mind might unwittingly add to it. Try to recall the whole dream, include places, colors, emotions, and images. Each detail of the dream matters.  Try to figure where you were, what you were doing, who else appeared in your dream, and what was the interaction between you and others.  Focus on these images rather than a narrative. Dreams are often just a series of images and not connected in a coherent way, and our mind later orders them. Putting down the dream in writing will help you to reinforce it in your memory. Start a notebook dedicated to your dreams, using it to record images and sequence whenever possible, improving your recall.  Place the dream journal near your bed. That way, you can grab it immediately after waking up and record what you experienced. Having your dreams in a notebook will also be useful when you start your analysis. You will be able to compare dreams with those in the past, contrast symbols, and also have a handy reference. In reading dreams, you’ll need to focus on several factors. One of these is context and setting. Pay attention to where dreams occur, what it is like, and whether or not the setting is familiar to you.  Did your dream occur somewhere that you have been before, for example? Or perhaps it was a strange location or even your mind’s invention? These details could point to meaning. Be aware of the dream’s time-frame. For example, while some dreams take place at an indeterminate time, others are vaguely in the future or have a clear date. Note any associations that you have with a dream’s context, as well. Were you at your late...


Try to relax. Have good body language. Don't rush. Use humor if you make a mistake.

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

If you find that you get especially nervous before making a speech, you might consider using relaxation techniques shortly before you're due to talk. Find a quiet place and take a few minutes to prepare yourself. Take some deep breaths, focus on your breathing, and count the seconds that pass as you breathe in slowly, then exhale slowly.  You can also try some visualization techniques to help ease your nervousness and give you confidence for your speech. Imagine the way you will feel when you have finished delivering your speech and are met with smiling faces and resounding applause. Then channel that confidence into the actual speech you are about to deliver. It may seem like a minor point, but a slouching posture could make you appear less confident or less professional, and it may be distracting to your audience. Stand up straight and try to project a strong image. You may find it helpful to push your chest out and suck your stomach in a little to help you keep a straight back, but try to keep it natural-looking.  Avoid crossing your arms or clutching your hands.  Don't stare down at the ground or cling to the table or lecture in front of you. Make eye contact across the room in a measured and controlled way. Avoid lingering on one person, but also avoid darting your eyes back and forth restlessly. Try making eye contact with one person on the left side of the room, then one person on the right side of the room. Shift across the room, but in a controlled way that feels natural and relaxed. You don't want to drag out your speech, but you also don't want to stumble over your words or read so fast that nobody can understand you. Try to find a balance and speed that you are comfortable with. You need to speak slowly enough that everyone can follow along and understand what you're saying, but not so slowly that it makes your speech lag.  Aim for a comfortable, conversational pace of dialogue.  Practicing your speech in front of other people, or recording it and listening back are great ways to judge the tempo...


Try to remain calm. Avoid letting him make it about you. Ask him why he cheated. Re-assess what you want. If applicable, keep your children in mind. Seek out a couples counselor.

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

Although this is certainly easier said than done, do your best to not let things get escalated. Neither of you will be thinking straight and this may give him the opportunity to slam the door and run away. If you give him the opportunity to escape the conversation, he may be able to get the time he needs to concoct a convincing lie. Instead, bring the conversation up in a calm and collected way.  For example, you might say, "I wouldn't throw this out there lightly, but I'm really worried that you've been showing behaviors that suggest to me that you may be having an affair and I want to talk about that with you." If you find yourself getting worked up, try taking a few deep breaths in and out. Try to remind yourself that although the pain may be near unbearable now, all emotional pain heals over time. If he tries to turn the conversation to you, such as that you are crazy or invaded his private space, calmly state that his behavior gave you serious concerns and that the conversation you are having is about whether or not he cheated on you. Try to be as rational and logical as possible and re-affirm that his behavior led you to become concerned and that you felt it was warranted to poke around given how serious cheating is. Try to get a sense of why he had an affair; there will generally be a reason behind it.  This will help you to decide whether you want to try to repair the relationship or whether it is time to let it go. Try to gauge whether he seems sincere; go with your gut instinct here. If it seems like he is just telling you what you want to hear, be wary. Although you should go into the conversation with some sense of whether you want to end the relationship should he confess to cheating or try to repair it, re-assess this based on the conversation. For example, if he admits to having a sex addiction and has convincing evidence that he in fact does and he genuinely wants to repair the relationship, you might decide to change your mind and attempt a repair. If you have children, be sure to confront...


Try to resolve the issue with your sister. Seek a compromise. Walk away from the situation, if needed. Ask your parents to get involved.

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

Even when you and your sister have set strict boundaries, you both will test each other’s baseline limits from time to time. When this happens, try your best to resolve the conflict before either of you reaches your breaking point.  Let your sister know what the problem is, using “I statements.” For example, “I feel belittled when you talk to me like a little kid” or “I feel angry when you choose not to respect my clothing.” Avoid the word “but.” This negates everything you’ve said before. For example, instead of saying “I see where you are coming from but I think you’re wrong” try “We can’t seem to agree on this.” If you can't resolve the issue, try to reach a compromise. Offer to change one thing about your behavior and urge her to do the same. Over time, these small concessions will have a big impact on your relationship. For example, you could offer to knock every time you want to enter her room and she could offer to say "Hi" to you at school. If the conflict escalates out of control, remove yourself from the situation. This is a great way to control your anger. Walk away from your big sister and cool off. When both of you are calm, you can try talking again. If you’ve failed to resolve the issue on your own, ask your parents to step in as mediators. Once you’ve both shared your side of the story, let them help the two of you reach an agreement. Take responsibility for your role in the conflict. This will show your parents that you are mature.


Try to see his perspective. Ask for his help in the kitchen. Assign him a weekly meal. Sit down and have a talk. Hold a contest.

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

If your husband already knows how to cook, he might be avoiding cooking for other reasons. He might feel insecure about his cooking skills, or unsure of interfering with what he perceives as your role.  He might not even notice that you do all the cooking. He might take it for granted, genuinely unaware of the hours you spend in the kitchen. Perhaps his father had strong feelings about who should be responsible for cooking. Maybe he grew up being told that men who cook aren't manly, or had feminine attributes. It might help him to hear that most of the most famous chefs in the world are men. Introduce him to Anthony Bourdain, Jamie Oliver, Levi Roots, or others. Some men have had other people provide for their needs their whole lives. They're used to it, and it seems normal to them. Understand that changing this perspective may take time. It may seem simple, but sometimes all a man is waiting for is to be asked. If there are simple steps to be done in preparing a meal, asking him to do one or two of the steps is an easy way to start your husband's involvement in the kitchen.  Remember that asking for his help is an invitation, not a demand. Be friendly and encouraging. There is usually a certain amount of household entropy that occurs in a home, where a couple or a family get used to having things a certain way. Changing these routines will take time, so keep it simple. A common way to get husbands more involved in the kitchen is to trust him with dinner once a week. Plan it around your existing schedules, and it will become part of your weekly routine.  Decide ahead of time who's doing the shopping. Planning a meal includes knowing ahead of time what ingredients you'll need, and shopping for them. Provide lots of praise. The rule is, if he's cooking, you're not allowed to complain. The reverse is also true. If you really need your husband to do more cooking, you might need to talk to each other honestly about your household responsibilities. If it seems like both of you work long hours, but only one of you...


Try to see things from their perspective. Help with household chores. Show your gratitude by giving them a card.

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

Imagine being a parent who wants the best for their children. The next time you get into an argument with your parents, try to remember that your parents have your best interest at heart. Understand that they do the things they do because they love you and want to protect you. Helping your mom or dad around the house is a great way to show them that you appreciate all the work they do. Offer to clean the dishes after dinner or wash the dirty laundry. Keeping your room tidy and clean will also make your parents very happy. Dedicate a Saturday or Sunday to helping your mom or dad clean the bathroom, fold the laundry, or clean your bedroom. Pick up a thank you card from your local pharmacy or grocery store. Better yet, make a handmade thank you card. In the card, thank your parents for all the things they do. Tell them that you appreciate them and love them. Write, for example, "I feel so lucky to have such loving parents. Thank you for always making me breakfast before I go to school. Thank you for taking the time to ask me how my day went, and for comforting me when I am sad. I know you guys work hard to make sure I have a happy and comfortable life. I love you."


Try to spend quality time with your family each day. Find activities to share as a family.

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

Make time for your family members so that you can have fun and support each other. Consider board games, family walks, prayer, volunteering, reading, family outings, and other activities that the family can enjoy.  Get the kids involved in choosing activities. They may feel excited by the opportunity to choose what the family does, and it could start a fun new tradition.


Try to spot areas to avoid before going in the water. Check the shoreline from an elevated position. Look for gaps in the incoming wave patterns. Spot any foam or seaweed being carried away from the shore. Avoid any areas where you suspect a rip current has formed.

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

Checking for signs of a rip current can help you avoid getting caught in one in the first place. Just keep in mind it's not always possible to identify a rip current, so use caution even if you don't see any warning signs. Signs of a rip current are subtle and aren't always present. A rip current could also form while you're already in the water. When you first get to the beach, look at the area where the waves meet the sand. A high spot, like a dune or boardwalk, offers the best vantage point.  It’s easier to spot a rip current from an elevated position than at eye level. Polarized sunglasses can help make it easier to spot warning signs of a rip current. Without the sun's glare, you might have an easier time recognizing signs such as a gap in wave patterns or debris being carried out to sea. Check for areas that don’t have white foam or don’t seem to have any breaking waves. Note that you’re not looking for gaps between a wave and the one behind it. Gaps that indicate rip currents are within the horizontal wave line itself. Try searching online for images of rip currents. They’re tough to spot, but a good indicator is a gap in the wave pattern. Usually, waves carry foam, seaweed, and other debris toward the sand. Look for a channel of objects steadily traveling out to sea instead of bobbing up and down or moving toward the shore. It may look a bit like a river within the ocean flowing away from the shore. Additionally, the water within a rip current may be slightly discolored. This is due to the sediments picked up by the current. Don’t go in the water in the area where you’ve spotted signs of a rip current. Tell the nearest lifeguard; they’ll likely already be aware, but it’s helpful to check in with them just in case. Ask them about the beach forecast and if there are any warnings or alerts about hazardous conditions. Keep your guard up even if you don’t see any signs of a rip current. They’re difficult to spot, and a rip current may be present even if you don’t see any indicators.


Try to stay active. Ration your energy. Take breaks. Control insomnia. Watch your blood cell counts. Try some relaxation techniques. Eliminate other forms of stress.

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

Although it sounds contradictory, those who stay active tend to preserve energy levels more so than those who try to stay off their feet completely in the days after chemotherapy treatments. While you should stay active, don’t push yourself too hard.  Instead of vigorous exercise, simply try to take one or two walks a day.  Generally speaking, try keeping up the activities you enjoy, but try shorter, easier versions of them.  Some forms of chemotherapy are particularly exhausting in the days after treatment. If this is the case for you, and it is too hard to even get out and walk or exercise, be forgiving of yourself and speak to your doctor for additional advice and guidance. Keep track from day to day, and you’ll likely notice a trend for when you feel most up to activity. Schedule your favorite or most important activities for this time period.  Some people have a few "bad days" immediately following treatment, followed by "good days" before the next treatment begins. You can use these "good days" to be more productive and to get the things done that you need to do. On your "bad days," it is important to give yourself permission to rest to allow your body to heal. Listen to your body. Don’t feel guilty for napping during the day if you need to. Try to keep naps to an hour or less and take them in a comfy chair rather than in your bed because this makes it easier to get up and resume your day. Depending on the type of cancer, anywhere from 30 to 75 percent of patients have reported insomnia as a symptom. Proper rest is more important than ever while your body and immune system battle both cancer and the effects of the chemo. Consult your doctor who will be able to prescribe sleep medications as needed.  Some of the best ways to fight insomnia include avoiding stimulants like caffeine in the evening and ensuring that your room is quiet, dark, and comfortably cool in temperature. You can find more info on controlling insomnia at How to Prevent Insomnia. One of the most common side effects of chemotherapy is...


Try to stop the bleeding as well as you can. Check if an object is lodged in the area of the wound. See a doctor immediately if the cut has been caused by a human or animal bite. Consider the area of the injury.

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

Elevate the injured body part above the level of the heart, as this can help to diminish bleeding. Use a clean cloth or slightly damp paper towel, and apply firm pressure to the open wound for about 5 minutes. Then, remove the cloth or paper towel to check if it's still bleeding.  If it's bleeding is significant, do not proceed to any other steps and go to the hospital immediately.  If the bleeding is uncontrollable, or blood is gushing from the wound, call emergency services immediately, as this can be life threatening. If there is foreign material present in the injury, it is always important to see a doctor right away. This is because of the risk of infection, the need to assess if and how the object can be removed safely, as well as the possibility of needing stitches. Do not try to remove the object. Sometimes the object helps to stop the wound from bleeding excessively. If there is anything stuck in the wound, you should see a doctor in the emergency room immediately. These cuts pose a much higher risk of infection, you may need to be vaccinated for prevention, and receive antibiotics, so regardless of whether stitches are needed you should seek professional medical help. If the cut is on the face, the hands, the mouth, or the genitals it is important to be seen by a doctor, as you may need stitching for cosmetic reasons and proper healing.
