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

After removing the old battery, place the new battery in its place. If your Samsung Galaxy Tab model has ribbon connectors, make sure you don't place the battery over the ribbon connectors. Look for the 4 wires from the battery that are attached to a black clip.  Gently press down on the black clip to attach the battery to the board. If the old battery was screwed in place, use a tiny Phillips screwdriver to secure the battery in place using the old screws. If your Samsung Galaxy Tab has ribbon connectors, lay them over the top of the battery.  Make sure the connector tabs are up and slide the ribbon cables back into place until they are firmly seated.  Press the connector tabs down to lock them in place.  Warning: If the ribbon cables are not firmly seated, it will cause performance problems with your device. If there was tape covering the ribbon connectors and battery, put the tape back in its place. After the battery is secure and all cables are properly attached, place the back cover over the back of the unit.  Go around the edges with your fingers and apply a little bit of pressure to snap the back cover back in place. If your Samsung Galaxy Tab model had screws to the side of the charging port, use the Tri-wing screwdriver to reattach the screws.  Then place the screw covers back over the screws.  Your Samsung Galaxy Tab is now reassembled.  You can power it on.


Insert a spud and open the end PVC plug. Spray propellant into the combustion chamber and reseal the plug. Aim away from people and click the trigger.

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

Press a spud into the barrel end of the launcher so it fits snugly. Use a stick to push the potato into the base of the barrel. After that, turn over the launcher and unscrew the end PVC plug from the female adaptor.  Old fashioned firearms used "wadding," or cloth wrapped around projectiles, to create a better barrel seal and more power. This can also be done with potato guns. A screw inserted into the barrel where it connects to the combustion chamber will prevent the ammunition from being rammed too far and falling into the chamber. Almost all hairspray will work as a propellant for your launcher. Spray the hairspray into the chamber for about seven seconds and your launcher is primed and ready to go. Reseal the plug quickly and get ready to take aim. Too much propellant is as bad as not enough. If there’s not enough oxygen, ignition will not occur.  Trial and error will teach the optimum amount of propellant to use in your individual design. It may take a few clicks of the trigger before the spark ignites, but when it does the hairspray will explode. This will force the potato out the barrel of the launcher. Now it’s time for target practice. Always operate your potato launcher with caution. Improper or reckless usage could cause harm or property damage.


Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the salmon. Verify the temperature is at least 110°F (43°C) but below 140°F (60°C). Remove the salmon from heat and let it rest for several minutes.

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

An instant-read thermometer works best for checking the salmon’s temperature. Make sure to stick the test end in the thickest part of the fish, though, because that area will take the longest time to cook. You can purchase an instant-read thermometer at most home goods and cooking supply stores. If the temperature is below 110°F (43°C), the salmon is essentially raw. At 110°F to 125°F (43°C to 52°C ), the fish is medium-rare. Between 125°F and 140°F, it’s medium to well-done. You don’t want it to reach above 140°F (60°C), though, because it will be dried out and tough. When you’ve reached your desired doneness, take the fish off the stove, grill, or out of the oven. Allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to finish cooking, and serve.

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

You cannot rip an ISO file from CDs with read/write protection (e.g., audio CDs or movie DVDs). Open the Menu, then click Terminal to open it. The Terminal app is how you'll access the command line, which is similar to Command Prompt on Windows or Terminal on Mac.  Linux distributions vary in appearance, so you may have to look for the Terminal app inside of a folder in the Menu section. You might also find Terminal on the desktop, or in a toolbar on the top or bottom of the screen. Type in cd /home/username/, making sure to use your own username for the username section, and press ↵ Enter. This will change your current directory to the home folder. For example, if your username is "teresa", you would type in cd /home/teresa/. Type in dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/username/iso-name.iso, making sure to replace the "/dev/cdrom" section with with your CD's location and the "iso-name" section with your preferred ISO file name.  For example, you would type of=/home/username/pudding.iso to create an ISO file called "pudding" in the home directory. If you have multiple CD drives attached to the computer, your CD drives will be labelled from 0 up (e.g., the first drive will be labelled something like "cd0", the second will be "cd1", and so on). As long as your CD's directory is correct, your computer will create an ISO file from the CD's contents and place it in the home directory. You may be prompted to enter your password before the ISO file is created. If so, type in your password and press ↵ Enter.

You can leave the island by taking the SS Ship, which will send you back to Lilycove City. If you have low-level Pokémon, it's advisable that you use Master Ball instead of fighting it. If you're not going to use Master Ball, you will have to fight Ho Oh. This Pokémon is a fire/flying type, which means it is weak against to water-, rock-, and electric-type Pokémon. Ho Oh is level 70 regardless of the player's overall Pokémon level, so be prepared.

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

At the top of the letter, you should include the date. A couple lines down, include the salutation. If you do not know who you are addressing, then you can state “To whom it may concern”. If you are the applicant’s employer, then you should put the letter on company or organizational letterhead. Use the first paragraph to introduce yourself. State your name, profession, and relationship to the requestor. Also include your own citizenship status.  Also state how long you have known the requestor, referencing dates, locations, job titles, etc. Sample language might be: “My name is Reverend Michael Smith. I am a U.S. citizen and a pastor at the United Methodist Church of Boston, Massachusetts.” Alternately, if you are an employer, you would state, “I am Carol Smith, assistant director of human resources at ABC Corp., where I have supervised Andrea Smith for the past three years, from April 2012 to present.” In the second paragraph, you should provide specific examples that illustrate whatever the applicant is trying to prove to immigration officials. For example, the applicant may need a testimonial of good character traits to support naturalization or to avoid deportation. Alternately, the applicant might need you to establish that his or her romantic relationship is not a sham. Or, the applicant might need to prove that persecution in their home country caused trauma. Regardless of the content, try to be as concrete as possible.  You could write, “I have met few people with as much compassion as Rosa Martinez. After attending my church for only two weeks, she volunteered for the soup kitchen and within two months was the lead volunteer on the weekend shift. It was in this capacity that Ms. Martinez found herself alone with a man who was deeply depressed and suicidal. After calling me, she stayed with the man for two hours until I was able to summon medical personnel to assist.” You may also be called upon to write a letter about the requestor’s relationship with a spouse. Sometimes, immigration officials claim...


Insert the drill bit into the jig. Begin grinding. Use water to cool the drill tip if necessary. Test the drill bit when you are finished.

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

When you are ready to sharpen a drill bit, slide it into your drill bit jig so that the end of the drill bit hangs over the edge slightly. Make sure that the drill bit fits snugly in the slot. It should fit right into the central groove in your jig. Then, place the tip of the drill bit near the grinding wheel. However, do not press the drill bit tip against the grinding wheel until after you turn it on. When you are ready, turn on the grinding wheel and push the drill bit towards the grinder. Slide the sharpening jig back and forth with one hand as you hold the drill bit against the grinder with the other hand.  You will also need to turn the drill bit slightly as you grind it down. Turn it clockwise slowly. It is important to make the edges as symmetrical as possible. Using a jig will make this much easier than grinding a drill bit free hand. If you have a lot of grinding to do, then you may need to dunk the tip of the drill bit in water once every minute or so to make sure that it stays cool. Keep grinding your drill bit until all of the edges are even. After you finish grinding down your drill it, it should be much more effective than it was. You can try out your newly sharpened drill bit on a scrap piece of wood, or even metal, to ensure that it is sharp. Keep in mind that if you are going to be drilling through metal, it is best to use a drill press. It takes a lot of pressure to drill through metal, even with a sharp drill bit, so a handheld drill may not be enough.


Insert the dual-layer DVD into your drive. Open Nero StartSmart/Nero Express. Switch to dual-layer. Check your available space. Name your disc. Click Burn to begin burning the disc.

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

In order to burn a dual-layer project, you must be using a dual-layer DVD, and your drive must support burning dual-layers. If you try to burn a dual-layer project to a single-layer disc, you will encounter errors. This program will come installed with certain DVD burners, or can be purchased directly from Nero. Start a New Project and then select Data. In the Data submenu, select Data DVD. By default, your project will be a standard single-layer DVD, even if you have a dual-layer DVD inserted. Click the dropdown menu next to the capacity meter. Select DVD9 to switch it to dual-layer. Click the Add button to add the files that you want to burn from your computer, or drag and drop them into the window. As you add files, the meter on the bottom will fill up. Dual-layer DVDs can hold up to 8.5 GB of data. If you have less than 4.7 GB of data, it might be cheaper to burn it to a standard DVD. Press Next when you are finished adding files. In the next screen, give your disc a name so that you’ll recognize it when it's inserted. Make sure that you have the correct DVD burner selected in the “Current recorder” section. Nero will show you the status to let you know when the process has completed successfully.


Insert the filter funnel into the neck of the conical flask. Check to see the beaker is safe to hold at the top. Swirl the solution by gently moving the beaker in a circular direction. Wait for the solution to filter.

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

Fold the filter paper to fit into the funnel. Polythene filter funnels are cheaper and safer than glass funnels. The filter funnel diameter is should not be too big. Otherwise, the filtration set-up will be unstable. If the beaker is too hot, wait for it to cool more. The contents will remain hot, so continue to handle with care. Pour the solution into the filter funnel. A clear blue solution should be in the flask. If it is still cloudy with black powder, repeat the filtration process until clear.


Insert the hook into the back of the stitch. Pull the yarn through. Knit across the row. Pull out the cord. Knit across the next row. Repeat as desired. Bind each stitch in the final row. Fasten the final stitch.

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

Slip the tip of the hook into the first stitch on the cord. The hook should go in from the back of the stitch to the front.  Keep the hooked tip face down. At the start of the process, the cord should be attached to the hook. The yarn will not be attached to the hook, though. Grab the yarn with the hooked tip. Use the hook to pull this yarn through to the back side of the stitch.  Keep the working (attached) yarn to the back (outside) of the row as you knit. You may need to twist the hook slightly as you pull the yarn through the stitch. Completing this stitch completes the knit stitch you started in the previous step. The loop this knit stitch creates should remain on your hook. Knit stitch once into each of the remaining stitches of the row.  Each knit stitch should be made by following the same procedure used to create the first one. You may need to guide the loops down the hook as you complete them. Some may fall off the end of the hook and onto the cord as you work. After completing a full row of knit stitches, turn the hook around. Pull the cord out of the foundation row while keeping it strung through the loops of the row you just created. After pulling the cord out of the foundation row, push any of the loops still remaining on your hook onto the cord. This should free the yarn from the hook, but the cord should still be attached to the hook. Knit once into each of the stitches created in your previous row. Work across the entire row in this manner.  These knit stitches will be identical to those made in your previous row. Each knit stitch will create a loop. Leave all of these loops on your hook until you reach the end of the row. Work identical rows of knit stitches until the work reaches your desired length.  Upon reaching the end of a row, turn the knook hook and pull the cord out of the previous row. Then, push the loops of your current row off the hook and onto the cord. When the loops of your most recent row are gathered on the cord, you can begin knitting your next row. For the final row of...

Select the "Custom" or "Other" installation option. Format the drive you want to install the operating system on. Follow the instructions to complete the installation. Reboot to switch between operating systems.

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

If you used Rufus to create a USB install disk, insert the USB flash drive into an open USB port on your computer.  If you are using a CD or DVD install disk, insert it into your CD/DVD-Rom drive. If your computer is powered on, go ahead and restart it.  Otherwise, press the power button on your computer so that it boots from the install disk. If your computer properly boots from the Install disk, you should see the setup program for the operating system. The setup program for each operating system is a little different.  Generally, you will start by selecting your language and keyboard layout. Some operating systems, such as Ubuntu are free to install.  Other operating systems, such as Windows, require you to purchase a CD key or serial number.  If asked to enter a serial number or CD key, enter the numbers in the space provided. When selecting the installation type, select "Custom", "Other", "Something Else" or similar.  Selecting a standard installation may overwrite your current operating system. When installing a new operating system, you will be asked to select which drive you want to install it on and format the drive.  Select the unallocated space you partitioned earlier.  If you are installing Linux you will need to format the drive as Ext4 If you are installing Ubuntu, you will also need to format a section of the unallocated space as a swap area.  This area should be equivalent to the amount of RAM you have installed on your computer. You will most likely be asked to create a username and password for your new operating system as well as set your time & date settings.  Follow the instructions to complete the installation. Once you install two or more operating systems on your computer, you will see a menu asking which operating system you want to load when you boot up your PC.  Restart your computer to switch between operating systems.


Insert the key and turn it to the “accessory” position. Press the release pin inside the hole on the ignition module with a screwdriver. Slide the ignition switch out. Have your ignition switch rebuilt if you want to keep the same keys. Purchase a new ignition switch if yours can’t be rebuilt.

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

The ignition switch needs to be set to the accessory position before you can release it from the ignition module. The “accessory” position is before the starter is engaged, and would normally let you run the vehicle’s electronics without the engine running (when the battery is connected).  The key may be stuck in the ignition switch, but that shouldn’t stop you from turning it. If you don’t have a key, you will need to force the module to turn using a flathead screwdriver. Look over the top of the ignition module until you find a hole that’s slightly smaller in diameter than a pencil. Insert the screwdriver into the hole to press down on the release pin inside.  If you don’t have a small enough screwdriver, you can use anything long and thin enough to press the pin, including a paintbrush handle or even a kabob skewer. Don’t use anything brittle that may break inside the hole to try to press the pin. With the release pin pressed, pull the ignition switch straight out of its place beneath the steering wheel. It should come without any resistance, but it’s not unusual for it to stick a bit in older vehicles that have accumulated a lot of dust and debris around the cylinder. If the switch feels stuck, make sure you are pressing the release pin firmly enough with your screwdriver or similar tool inside the hole. Some dealerships will rebuild your existing ignition switch if you would rather not have to switch ignition keys. Rebuilding your switch can vary in price based on the application and may not always be available.  A rebuilt switch should work just as well as a new one. The only real benefit of a rebuilt switch is not having to use new keys. Only some dealerships will rebuild an ignition switch and they often can’t for all vehicles, so rebuilding yours may not be an option. In that case, you will need to get a new switch from a manufacturer specific dealership that will also provide you with new ignition keys to match. Provide the dealership with the year, make, and model of your vehicle along with the VIN...

High-quality Zippo brand lighter fluid is suggested for optimal performance.


Insert the pliers into the ring. Grab the ball. Insert the ring into the piercing. Place the ball in position. Close the ring using pliers.

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

Slide the nose of the ring-opening jewelry pliers into the closed ring. Position the tool so that its opening lines up with the bead or ball of the captive ring. Apply a slight amount of pressure until the captive ring is no longer moveable.  Specialty pliers labeled for use with captive rings are your best option, followed by generic ring expanding pliers. If you have no other option, needle nose pliers will also work well enough. Consider covering the pliers with cloth medical tape before using them with your captive ring. Doing so can prevent the tool from scratching jewelry. The tape also adds traction, making it easier to hold the pieces in place. Use the index finger and thumb of your free hand to grab the captive ring bead. Or, you can use a ball grabber tool to reach out to the captive bead. Placing a slight amount of pressure on the ring pliers will cause the ball to become loose. Make sure to grab it with your free hand before it falls. Be very careful with the amount of pressure that you apply with the pliers or you will risk altering the shape of your ring. Continuing to use your pliers, or switching to your hands if you prefer, slide one open end of the ring into the piercing. Continue gliding the ring through the piercing until the center of the ring rests inside.  If the gap is not wide enough for you to maneuver the ring into the piercing, you should use your pliers to expand the opening further. Expand the ring only as much as absolutely needed to avoid warping the shape. For heavier gauges, you should only expand the opening instead of twisting it. The opening of the ring should be positioned directly across from the piercing. If you feel friction or discomfort when you insert the ring, support the skin around the piercing using your fingers. Using your hands or a ball grabber tool, line the bead up so that the dimples on either side are aligned with the open ends of the ring. Rest one side of the ring in one of these dimples. With heavier gauges, it is very difficult to snap the bead in...

Insert the stained side into the bottle when you re-cork. Avoid temperatures above 70 °F (21 °C). Avoid exposing the bottle to sunlight. Finish a bottle of wine that’s several years old. Find another use

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

Make sure the stained side of the cork faces down like it did when the bottle was unopened. Inserting the cork with the stained side down might take more effort, as the clean side, which faced up when the bottle was sealed, is usually easier to fit into the bottle. However, inserting that end could introduce bacteria and cause your wine to spoil faster. The clean side was exposed during shipping, on the shelf at the store, and in your wine rack or countertop. It’s likely to have a higher bacteria count than the stained side, which was sealed within the bottle. If you’re keeping wine on the countertop or bar during a party, try to keep the ambient temperature below 70 °F (21 °C). Whether they’re opened or sealed, avoid storing your bottles by the oven, next to the fridge, or near any appliance that produces heat. You wouldn’t want to keep a bottle of red in cold water or ice during a party, so just try to control the ambient temperature. Keep opened and sealed bottles of wine away from windows and other sources of sunlight. Sun exposure can hasten oxidation and cause discoloration. If you’ve opened up an 8 year old bottle of wine, you’re better off just finishing it. Even when stored in the fridge, a bottle of good, aged wine can spoil in a matter of hours. Organic wines can also turn within a day, so avoid trying to store them for longer periods of time. for wine that’s turned. Just because a wine doesn’t taste good enough to drink doesn’t mean you have to toss it, especially if it’s been less than a week since you opened the bottle. If a red has only started to lose its vibrant color and doesn’t smell moldy or rancid, give it a taste test. If it’s just slightly off, find another use for it.  You could use it to deglaze a pan of sauteed onions or garlic for a sauce, use it in a stew, or add it to a meat marinade. For best results, your recipe should have lots of flavor. The wine will add an extra note, but the stronger flavors will tone down any sourness.  If you don’t have an immediate need to cook with...


Insert the stem of your flower (the threaded rod or pipe) into the soil. Finish your flower with some wine bottle leaves. Try attaching the plates directly to a surface.

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

You’ll want to insert it pretty deeply in the ground for stability. The deeper you can sink the stem, the more resistance it will have to wind and other environmental forces. You might like to finish off your flower by creating ‘leaves’ using colored glass wine bottles.  To do this, remove the labels from a couple of wine bottles (green works well). Stick some rods into the ground and stick the bottles over the rods. Position them in the ground so they look like the leaves on a flower. If you don't want to bother with creating stems for your flower plates, you can attach the plates directly to a surface such as an old tree stump or wooden fence.  It’s best to use the drilling method and nail them to the surface through the hole. This can be a good way to solve the issue of stability, by affixing them to a strong and immobile surface.


Insert the wand stem. Hold a bracket against the top inside corners of your window opening. Create starter holes to make drilling easier. Drill 2 screws into the holes on the side of each bracket. Install support brackets if you have a big set of blinds.

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

Lay the blinds on a flat surface so that the sticker that says “Insert Wand Stem” is facing up and located on the upper left corner. Take the sticker off and insert the wand stem, which should’ve come along with the packaging. Hold one of your mounting brackets against the top of the window and away from the glass. Place a spacer behind it to ensure that it’s in the correct location. Make sure the brackets are positioned so that the latches hinge at the top of the bracket and open out. If possible, have a friend help you with this part. Once you have a bracket held in the position you want it in, hold a screw against one of the holes on the side of the bracket. Tap the screw gently with a hammer to create a starter hole. Do this again on another one of the holes located on the side of the bracket. Repeat this process on the other side of the window where the other bracket is located. Put the end of 1 of your screws into 1 of your starter holes while holding the bracket in place. Make sure that your hand that’s holding the bracket is as far away from the screw as possible, and then use a power drill to drill the screw in. If you aren’t comfortable with using a power drill, you can also do this with a screwdriver. Larger sets of blinds often have a support bracket that should be located at the top center of the window. If this came with your set of blinds, install it after your mounting brackets are in place. This should help keep the middle of your blinds from sagging.


Insert the wheels on the top of the first door into the top track. Drop the wheels on the bottom of the door into the bottom track. Insert the wheels on the second door into the runners at the front of the tracks. Adjust the doors as needed.

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

Hold the door so the top is tilted backward. Then, latch the wheels on top of the door onto the back runner of the top track. The runner is what the wheels roll along so the door can slide back and forth. Each track has 2 runners — 1 in the front and 1 in the back. The first door will go on the back runners, and the second door will go on the runners in the front of the tracks. Line the bottom wheels up with the back runner on the bottom track and then drop them into place. Don't accidentally drop them into the front runner on the track or the door will be slanted. Do the same thing you did with the first door, but this time use the front runners on the tracks. When you’re finished, both doors should slide back and forth along the tracks without interfering with each other. Many sliding closet doors can be adjusted using the top and bottom rollers. Use the adjusters to slightly lower or raise your closet doors, or to make them flush with the wall. If you're not sure how to adjust your doors, refer to the instruction manual that came with them.


Insert the wick into the hole, then slide it into the slit.

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

The bottom 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) of the wick should be sticking out of the bottom of the plastic circle. If you cut an X into the plastic, it may already be stable enough. If it isn't, slide the wick into one of the slits making up the X. If you cut the circle from a plastic bottle, the shorter end should be sticking out of the domed part of the circle; the longer end should be sticking out of the cupped part.


Insert two water bowls and one food bowl. Buy hiding and climbing objects. Get at least three extra shells per crab.

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

The tank should have a dish for dechlorinated fresh water and dechlorinated saltwater. The water dishes should be big enough that your crab can submerge itself completely in them, but not so big that it can’t get in and out of it. The food bowl should be smaller than the water bowls. The salt water bowl should be filled with a mixture of dechlorinated water and aquarium salt mix. You cannot mix table salt into the water. Crabs love to climb over objects and also hide underneath them, so you should fill the crabitat with plenty of good items that are suitable for this. Appropriate toys and objects include wooden and plastic houses, jagged rocks, driftwood, and fake plants. Be sure that the tank is large enough to accommodate the toys without overcrowding your crabs. Crabs love to change shells, so there should be a few in the crabitat to play with. Only use shells that have been cleaned and sanitized.  Crabs typically prefer shells that fit snugly, without only a little bit of extra room. Be sure to get a shell with an opening about 1/8 to ¼ an inch bigger than the crabs claw. Experiment with a few sizes to see what your crab prefers. Some crabs prefer shells that have round openings, whereas other prefer a D-shaped opening. Purple Pinchers generally prefer round openings. Ecuadorians generally prefer D-shaped openings. Watch to see which your carb seems to prefer. Never give a crab a painted shell. This can be hazardous to their health.


Insert your MRI disc into your computer. If the program loads automatically, follow the on-screen prompts. If necessary, install the viewing software. Load the study. View the images.

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

Today, you will usually be given a disc with your images on it after your MRI. The main purpose of this is so that you can give the disc to your doctor, but there's nothing wrong with reading your MRI at home. Start by putting the disc into your computer's DVD drive.  Note: Some MRI centers may have different policies for giving patients copies of their MRI. For instance, instead of a disc, you may be given a USB drive. It's even possible to host and send MRI files online. The important thing in any case is to get the MRI files onto your computer. If you're lucky, the program will automatically load when you put the disc into your computer. In this case, simply follow the instructions on screen to install and access the program. Usually, you'll want to use the default option (or "Yes," "OK," etc.) or every prompt you are given. However, MRI viewing software is notoriously unreliable — it's something that even doctors have a hard time with. You may need to take extra action (see below). If the software doesn't load automatically, most MRI discs will come with some way to install it on the disc. In general, you'll need to open the disc to explore the files, find this installation program, and run it. The exact steps you need to take will vary depending on how your MRI center has packaged your images on the disc. If you're not having any luck or you can't find an included installer program, try downloading a free MRI viewer from the internet. This site has many links to programs that can view medical images in the standard DICOM format. Again, the exact steps you'll need to take here can vary slightly depending on the exact program you have packaged with your images. Generally, most MRI viewers will have some sort of option to load or import images that you can select from the menu bar at the top of the screen. In this case, select this option, then pick the image file on your disc that you'd like to look at.  Note that most medical imaging software refers to collections of images as "studies". You may not see...

This will open the User Account Control Panel, where you will be able to reset any password by selecting a user and adding a new password.


Insert your cardboard inside the shirt. Paint a large yellow rectangle on the center of the shirt.

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

This will separate the sides, keeping the paint from seeping through. If you don't have cardboard, use some other sturdy material that you're not worried about getting paint on.  Lay the shirt flat and smooth out all the creases. The cardboard insert needs to be the just short of the width of the shirt when laid out. If you're using a t-shirt, consider wearing a sweatshirt underneath that is your turtle's color. For ideas or a template, go online and see artists' depictions of the Turtles or other costume designs. The yellow is the bottom of the shell -- make it fitting to your size. It's easiest to use a paper plate as your palette. You can just throw it/them away afterward and not worry about the mess.


Insert your contacts safely. Remove your contacts quickly and easily. Take out your contacts if you have an eye injury or infection. Avoid dry eye by using lubricants. Get regular eye exams.

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

It may take some practice, but after a few days, you will be able to do it quickly and easily. Follow these steps:   Wash and dry your hands. This will make sure you don't transfer dirt or bacteria into your eye, which can cause an infection. Put the contact lens on the tip of your index finger with the concave, cup side facing up. While looking in the mirror, use your middle finger to pull down your lower eyelid and lashes. Place the contact onto the surface of your eye. The bottom edge of the contact should be the first part to touch your eye. It should do so on the white part of your eye just above where you have pulled your lower lid down. Press the contact onto the surface of your eye until you feel it stick. When you take your finger away, the contact should float on the surface of your eye. Blink to adjust it to the correct position. If you are inserting your contacts for the first time, your doctor may suggest that you wear them for only an hour the first day and then wear them for longer periods of time. This will give your eyes a chance to get used to them. Removing your contacts is important because it gives your eye a chance to breathe. Some contacts should be removed every night. To remove your contacts:  Wash and dry your hands. Use your middle finger to pull your lower eyelid down. Gently pinch the lens off the surface of your eye using your index finger and thumb. This should not hurt; however, while you are learning, it might be best to keep your fingernails trimmed. This will prevent you from hurting yourself or accidentally tearing the lens. For some lenses, you can use a plunger (DMV), which makes it much easier to take out your contacts: just take the plunger, stick it onto the contacts, and remove them. Ask the provider of your contacts if they have one that you can have or buy. An injury or infection requires immediate care. Have someone drive you to an emergency room. Do not drive yourself. Get care immediately if you experience:  Pain Sudden vision problems like blurring or dark...


Insert your crochet hook to the desired stitch. Pull the hook with the wrapped yarn through the stitch. You've now created one (1) U.K.

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

Typically, you will be making your stitch in the hole closest to your crochet hook, or, if you started with a foundation chain, the second one. Look to your pattern to be sure. You should now have two (2) loops on your hook. double crochet; there should be one (1)  loop left on your hook.


Insert your fingers into the ball. Use both hands to hold the ball. Grip the ball lightly. Test how far your hand stretches.

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

If you're using the popular 3-hole bowling ball, place your dominant hand thumb in the larger bottom hole and your middle and ring fingers in the two adjacent holes at the top. Rest the ball in your dominant hand, but use the support of your free hand to cradle the ball from underneath as you move towards the lane.This allows you to steady the ball and prevents you causing strain to your bowling hand. If your grip is too tight, you will not be able to release the ball smoothly, and this will negatively impact your aim. The ball should slide off your fingers with ease. Once fingers are comfortably positioned in the holes, you should be able to lightly fit a pen between the bowling ball and your hand. If the pen can lightly touch your hand, and the ball with ease, your grip is secure. Don't overstretch your hands, or grip bowling balls too tightly.


Insert your first section divider and course’s “Handout” tab into the binder. Insert your handouts. Insert the course’s “Notes” tab and paper. Repeat this process for each course section. Organize the “To-Do” section.

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

Retrieve your first section divider and first course tab. Slip the divider into a sheet protector or three-hole punch the divider. Place the section divider followed by the first tab onto the binder’s left rings. If you want additional folder pockets without the bulk of the traditional folder, purchase tabs with pockets. In the beginning of a course, you will receive several important handouts from the teacher. You may receive a course syllabus, assignment calendar, and or style guide. Slide these papers into sheet protectors and place them at the front of the “Handouts” subsection. As the course progresses, you will receive more handouts. File these behind the other handouts in chronological order. Create an “Important Dates” sheet for each course. As the school year progresses, it often becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of important dates. Compile a list of all important assignment dates, due dates, and test dates for each course to help yourself stay up-to-date. Type or record the dates by hand and place the paper at the front of the course’s “Handouts” section. Retrieve the course’s “Notes” tab. Insert it into the binder. Behind the “Notes” tab, place 25 to 50 pages of lined binder paper or graph paper. Insert your second section divider and the course’s “Handouts” tab into the binder. Insert your handouts. Insert the course’s “Notes” tab and paper. After organizing each course, insert your “To-Do List” tab into the binder. Place the “To-Do Now” section divider into the binder—this section will contain assignments you have to complete within the next one to two days. Insert the “To-do Later” section divider into the binder—this section will contain assignments you can complete at a later date.

It’s the blue button at the top of the screen. This sends the labels to the printer.


Inspect any recently purchased items. Keep your closet area clean. Keep your clothing clean. Store clothing in airtight containers. Use cedar. Use natural, food-based repellents. Periodically check your clothing.

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

Especially if the item came from a secondhand store or a friend, regardless of the fiber content of the item, you should make sure there are no signs that the item is infested. It is possible that stray caterpillars could be attached to the clothing and end up hatching in your closet. In the United States, most infestations come from webbing clothes moths, but you should still inspect for both.  Look for patches of silk webbing and feeding tube which webbing clothes moths leave behind. Casemaking moths' cases will change to match the color of the clothing they're eating. For this reason, you should always look for numerous, suspicious small holes as this your best warning sign for an infestation. Frequently clean your closet from top to bottom; moths like to live in places where it's dark and they're undisturbed. Move things around: move your clothes out, wipe things down with detergent-soaked clothes, and vacuum the floors and drawers. You might think that your clothes, particularly those made out of cotton and manmade fibers, will be okay as long as your wool is stored separately. But moths like to eat the tiny detritus left behind from human skin, like sweat, as well as food particles. Make sure your clothes have always been washed before they return to your closet space. You can use vacuum sealing, ziplock bags, or even plastic containers with airtight lids to store your wool garments when you're not using them. This is particularly helpful in the spring and summer months. You can also line these spaces with anti-moth paper, cedar, or even mothballs to make them extra secure. Most if not all of these items should be available from Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, or Walmart.  Be careful: storing clothes in an airtight container can only keep new infestations from happening; if your clothing already has eggs on it, they'll hatch and eat the clothes anyway. Be sure you've properly cleaned your clothing first. Make sure the containers are also dry, as are your clothes, to prevent mold. The strong smell of...


Inspect dark, secluded areas of your home for molted skins. Dispose of heavily infested items. Spray or dust your carpet and furniture with an insecticide. Store clothes and fabrics with resin strips or moth repellent.

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

If you’re suspicious or just want to be proactive, search through rarely lit, less trafficked areas of your home for fecal matter and most importantly, molted larvae skins. Larvae are commonly the ones who cause the most damage, and molted skins, identifiable by their translucent golden color and bug-like shape, are a strong sign that they’re present. If you can part ways with the items that were just infested, it’s probably best to do so. With keeping an item that was previously highly infested, you run the risk of reintroducing any remaining carpet beetles to your carpet and clothes. There are many different types of carpet treatment products that you can buy. Make sure that whatever spray or dust you’re applying is for killing carpet beetles specifically, and check the label of chemical insecticides to make sure that the product contains chlorpyrifos, bendiocarb, and allethrin in order to ensure eradication success.  Chemical insecticides may be harmful to other animals, so if you have any pets make sure to secure them in a location away from where the insecticide is sprayed or dusted. Spread boric acid all over your carpet and upholstered furniture, and make sure to vacuum it up within two hours of laying it down. While it is lethal for beetles, boric acid isn’t powerful enough to harm humans.  Dehydrate carpet beetles with diatomaceous earth. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth on pet beds and in the back of cabinets and closets. It’s safe for pets and humans, but you’ll need to wear a respirator or mask while applying to keep yourself from inhaling the particles.  Many common household pesticides that kill ants and roaches will also kill carpet beetles, or simply limit their food supply. Spray the product in corners of closets, on window ledges, and in any crevices that could potentially house carpet beetles. Because resin strips contain an active ingredient called dichlorvos, they are effective in protecting your fabrics for an extended period of time. Vapors of moth repellent are lethal for fabric pests if...


Inspect for damage regularly. Follow all care instructions in the owner's manual. Get your fireplace inspected annually.

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

In order to make sure your gas fireplace keeps working properly for years to come, you'll need to inspect all of the pieces on a regular basis. Take a look at the gasket to make sure it isn't cracked or broken. You should also check the outside vent for the gas fireplace for any debris that could cause a problem. Leaves and animal nests often become problematic in outdoor fireplace vents. Your owner's manual will provide you with detailed instructions on how to clean and care for your gas fireplace. It's important that you follow these guidelines even when practicing at-home care and maintenance yourself. If you don't follow the instructions in the owner's manual, it's possible that you could void the manufacturer's warranty. Gas fireplaces should be inspected by a trained professional once every year. This will help ensure that your gas fireplace is functioning properly and that there is no potential for damage or harm. An inspector will look at all the pieces – including the logs and the lava rocks – to make sure all of the pieces are in proper working order. They'll also be able to tell you if there are any leaks in the piping and whether or not the pressurization levels are accurate. Most general handymen or home repair service people should be qualified to inspect fireplaces, but an HVAC specialist would be the best option.


Inspect new plants for mealybugs before you introduce them to your garden. Check your plants for mealybugs regularly. Throw away garden tools that are infested with mealybugs. Avoid fertilizing your plants with nitrogen if possible.

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

Look for small, round, wax-covered insects that have a white color. If you find mealybugs on a new plant, pick them off and dispose of them. If there are a lot of mealybugs on the plant, you may need to throw it away or return it to where you bought it from. Never introduce a mealybug-infested plant to your garden or the infestation will spread to your other plants. It’s easier to prevent a big mealybug infestation if you routinely eliminate small outbreaks. If you discover mealybugs on one of your plants, pick them off by hand. If the plant if heavily infested, remove it from your garden so the infestation doesn’t spread. Mealybugs can gather on garden tools like shovels, plant clips, and pots. Always check your tools for mealybugs and avoid using them if you find any or the bugs could spread to your other plants. High levels of nitrogen can cause mealybugs to reproduce faster. If your plants don't need a nitrogen fertilizer, use a non-nitrogen fertilizer instead.


Inspect the Monogram GG Beige belt for coloring and a GG pattern. Look for a metallic finish on the Black Imprime belt’s “double G” buckle. Check Gucci belts for the “double G” logo.

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

For this belt, the beginning of the pattern should start with two Gs; it should not be cut off in the middle or begin at any other point in the pattern. There should be no screws in the hardware of the belt buckle. The background of the belt should be beige and the GG design should be blue or ebony. The inside of the belt should be black leather. For every two GG patterns, there should a hold for the belt buckle inside the second G. On this belt, the buckle is comprised of a regular G and an upside down G. The normal G has a matte finish, while the upside down G should have a metallic black finish. The inside of the belt should be a suede material. The “double G” logo should be perfectly printed over the entirety of the belt. This model should have screws on the back side of the belt buckle. Inspect the back of the belt buckle and see if there are noticeable screws. The size of the belt should be included in the serial number, and not imprinted anywhere else on the belt – fakes often have the size printed on the leather of the non-buckle end. The stitching should include the “double G” logo printed all over the entire belt. The inside of the belt is suede. Authentic Gucci belts should not have a button holding the belt buckle in place. This is a clear sign of a fake.


Inspect the back of the key for damage. Check your keyboard to make sure the base is intact. Replace the retainer bracket if your key has one. Hook the side of the key with the latch into place first. Push the other side of the key into place. Press up and down on the button to make sure it holds.

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

Turn the key over to make sure that the part of the key that latches onto the keyboard is still in place. You should see a small plastic piece that will attach back onto the keyboard base. Compare the key to the base of the keyboard where you plan to reattach it to make sure that this latch is present. If it isn’t, then you may need a replacement key. Individual replacement keys can be purchased online. In order for your key to reattach and work, the keyboard base must still have its parts. Look to see if the rubber nub in the center is still there, as well as the small metal hooks that will hold the key.  The nub is in the center where the key will sit. The metal hooks will fit into the latch on the underside of the key. Some laptops may not have metal hooks. Instead of metal hooks, you may have a plastic hook. Line up the retainer bracket with the key base on the keyboard. Look at the keyboard base to see how the retainer bracket matches up to the base. Click the retainer bracket back into place. The retainer bracket is a separate piece that is usually clear or opaque white. It could still be attached to either the base or the key. If your keyboard has metal hooks, fit the hooks into the latch. Slide that side of the key in first. If your laptop has plastic hooks, slide your key on however you need to so that the key latches onto the hook first. After you fit the key onto the hook, gently press down on the other side of the key. You should feel it snap back into place, and you may hear a click. Test the key by pressing it several times to see if it is securely in place. The key should have a bounce to it. If the key will not reattach, you may need to take it into a computer repair shop. If it’s a Mac, you can take it to an Apple Store.


Inspect the bars of your hamster's cage. Secure the door latch of your hamster's cage. Secure the lid of your hamster's cage. Tape the lid of his plastic ball. Seal cracks and crevices in your home.

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

The bars of a wire cage can become bent or disconnected over time. With enough persistence, your hamster could squeeze through any widened spaces between the bars. Inspect the bars at least as frequently as you clean your hamster's cage (once a week). You can try to manually correct the irregularities in the bars. If this is not practical for you, you can purchase an external wire grid and attach it to the outside of the cage. This is especially important for wire cages. To keep himself busy, your hamster may try everything he can to open the door latch. Visit your local pet store to purchase a locking device to keep the door latch securely closed. Your hamster could use his nose to push open the mesh lid of an aquarium cage. Rather than putting weights on each corner of the lid, which could compromise the cage's air circulation, consider purchasing locking clips at your local pet store. You would place the locking clips on each corner of the lid to keep it in place. If you like to place your hamster in a plastic ball so that he can roll around outside his cage, you may to need to reinforce the ball's lid. Lids on plastic balls are typically just pegs that fit into slots. Your hamster may entertain himself by gnawing on the pegs from time to time.  Over time, the pegs would become so loose that the lid may just flip open when your hamster is in his ball.  Use a generous amount of tape on the ball's lid, especially where it connects to the ball. You may need to apply the tape each time you put your hamster in his ball. If your hamster does get out of his cage, sealing the cracks and crevices would give him fewer places to hide. Your hamster can still hide in plenty of places, but you could minimize the number of areas where he could crawl into and potentially get stuck.


Inspect the boat. Take the boat for a test spin. Work out a payment arrangement. Complete the transaction.

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

A smaller boat shouldn’t require much time to inspect, while a larger craft could take hours. There are several trouble spots you should be mindful of as you look it over:  Making sure the boat engine is in working order if you’re purchasing a motorboat. Checking the bilge to ensure that it isn’t full of water, which can collect during storms. The owner may include a manual or automatic bilge pump with the boat. Ensuring that the steering and throttle are fully functional. Having the electrical components checked to make sure they are working as they should. Inspecting the hull and siding and looking for any wear, damage or other problems (this should be done out of water.) Confirming that the propeller and propeller shaft work properly. Making sure the rigging, hardware, and sails are functioning well if you’re buying a sailboat. Some of the above concerns may only be addressed through a trial run. Most reputable boat sellers will allow for this, as it can only enhance the odds of making a successful sale. Be sure to address each of your concerns individually. For example, check the steering by making left and right turns, or adjust the motor to different speeds to ensure that it is working properly. If you’re satisfied with what you see, you should either agree to pay the listed price or take your chances at negotiating for a lower one. Some sellers are firm in their valuation (and will often say so in their ads), but many are willing to at least entertain an offer. It is ultimately the seller’s decision. Don’t be afraid to ask for help preparing the boat for transport if you have arranged to do so yourself. The chances are promising that the seller will be in a good mood, having unloaded a major burden. Double check to make sure the boat is completely secure before leaving the premises.


Inspect the card itself. Grab another card. Bend it a little.

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

A fake card usually feels thin and flimsy and you may be able to see through it if you hold it up to the light. Some fake cards, on the other hand, are too hard and look shiny. If it's the wrong size, that's also a telltale sign. Different materials will also wear differently, so on more "used" cards look for more damage to corners and unusual wear patterns. Also, fake cards often have no copyright date or the illustrator at the bottom of the card. Is the card in question the same size? Is it too pointy? Is it centered right? Is there more yellow on one side of the card than the other? If it bends with great ease, it's a fake. The real cards are not flimsy.


Inspect the clams. Prepare the clams Place cleaned clams into a large kettle, wide pan, or wok. Steam Arrange. Serve hot with melted butter.

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

Place clams on a clean, dry towel, and shuffle through them loosely. Discard any that look abnormal or are open, in the outside trash, otherwise their stench will quickly overpower. . Have something like a bucket, tub, or sink in which to soak the clams. The soaking process will clean the clams prior to cooking.  Make a weak brine solution – 1/3 cup of non-iodized salt (iodine will kill clams) to one gallon (3.7 liters) of water should work. Soak clams in the brine for about fifteen minutes, to remove all grit from inside and outside the clam. Fresh water works decently as well. Pour the clams into a strainer, and hold under a stream of cold water. Scrub thoroughly with a metal brush. Place clams back on the towel you had them on earlier. Rub them dry gently to remove any final grit. For every pound (453g) of clams, add half a cup of water. Layer the clams into the cooking container with the water (or white wine). Cover the cooking container and place over high heat. Here, you can choose to add the aromatic ingredients listed above. They are not needed, but if you prefer more flavorful clams, add the extra ingredients, or even just some of them. Keep in mind that the amounts are for three pounds (1.3kg) of clam, so you may need to add or subtract amounts depending on how many clams you have.  If you do chose to add them, this is the moment to do so. the clams. Allow the clams enough time to open their shells - this will be indicated by a burst of steam and popped-open shells, anywhere from 2–3 minutes to 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of clams. If some don't open in this time, discard them as they probably were already dead. Cook Stephanie Alexander even suggests giving the ones that do not open another go at steaming because sometimes the clams have a very tight and vigorous hold on the shell (be sure to remove those that have already opened as they're ready). Remove the open clams from the kettle or other container and place them in a dish, possibly with a small amount of the broth around them. Lemon...


Inspect the empty apartment space. Set up your utilities. Clean the apartment before unpacking your belongings. Unpack your belongings in their designated rooms. Officially change your personal information.

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

Before moving in your belongings, inspect the apartment. You don't want to be held responsible for damages or taken by surprise if something doesn't work the day you move.  Check every part of the apartment including light fixtures, plumbing, and electrical outlets to ensure that everything is in working order.  Make sure to test all of the security features, including locks, bolts, or alarm systems. You may want to research local crime to know about potential security issues.  Make sure to check window locks, fire escapes, and entrance doors.  If anything isn’t working properly or the apartment isn’t up to your cleanliness standards, report it to your landlord or apartment management company and request that he fix any problem areas. You want to make sure that your new apartment is ready the day you move in, so set up your utilities at least a few days in advance. This will help ensure there is no delay in your being able to move in and live in your space.  Get electricity, gas, and water accounts set up as necessary. Some landlords will include all of these in rent price, while others will include some utilities and not others. Your landlord should provide you with information the best companies to contact as well as the average typical monthly costs for electricity and gas. Set up your internet. and cable TV if you want them. It’s a good idea to contact several different providers to find one that will meet your needs and your budget. Your landlord should make sure the space is properly cleaned and painted before you move in, but take the opportunity to deep clean it while it is empty. This will help you get to know the space better and may also help you identify problems inside the space.  Vacuum, dust, clean mirrors and windows, and disinfect the bathroom and kitchen. Make sure to note if you find any problems or any cosmetic items that you’d like to fix. Once your belongings are delivered, you can unpack them and arrange your apartment. Unpack and arrange one room at a time from the rooms you will use...


Inspect the gas line before installing it. Connect the supply hose to the gas main and to the Bunsen burner. Position the air ports so they’re slightly open. Twist the gas supply valve to close it completely. Open the gas main. Open the needle valve and get your striker ready. Hold your striker above the top of the barrel and ignite it.

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

Make sure there are no cracks in the gas supply line, which is usually a thin rubber hose. Gently squeeze the tubing along the entire length while you look closely for visible cracks. If you see cracks, grab a new tube or ask your lab instructor for help. Ensure that the hose is pushed well up onto the gas main’s ribs and is securely attached to the burner. Double check to make sure you’ve attached the supply hose to the gas main and not to an air intake or other fixture. The gas main outlet is a threaded nozzle that tapers to a point. Look for a label on the top of its handle, such as "GAS" or "VAC," or ask your lab instructor for help. Locate the openings at the base of the chimney and twist the collar, or the outer metal shell, clockwise until the holes are closed. Then, twist the collar counterclockwise to open it just slightly. This will ensure that the flame is at its coolest once the gas is ignited. Find the needle gas valve at the bottom of the burner. Make sure it’s tightly closed before you turn on the gas main.  Whenever you put the burner away, you should make sure the needle gas valve is closed. That way, it'll be set up for the next person to use. You want the needle valve closed when you turn on the gas supply so you'll have complete control over how much gas you feed the burner when you ignite it. Turn the handle of the gas supply main so that it is in line, or parallel, with the outlet and supply hose. At this point, you shouldn’t hear any gas, which sounds like hissing. If you do, turn the gas off immediately and close the burner’s needle valve. After you've made sure the burner's needle gas valve is closed, you can try turning on the gas supply outlet again. If you still hear a hissing noise, consult with your instructor to try and find the problem. Have your striker or a multi-purpose lighter handy before opening the burner's valve. When you're ready, twist the needle valve at the bottom of the burner slightly. Stop as soon as you hear the hiss of gas escaping. Use a flint striker or...


Inspect the hammer before using it to ensure it’s in good condition. Wear safety eyewear to protect against flying items. Stay focused on what you’re doing at all times to prevent injury.

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

Do not use a hammer if it is rusty, the wood is splintering, or if the head is loose. Using a hammer that is not in good working order can result in injuries.  For example, if the head of the hammer is loose, it can fly off when swinging it. If you can, use a screwdriver to tighten the nails. If not, you may have to replace the hammer. If the wood is splintered, the hammer can break upon impact. You could injure or lose your eye if a nail or other flying object hits it. When you put on the safety glasses, make sure your entire eye area is covered and the strap is tightly secured. If you are distracted or daydreaming while working, you can wind up hurting yourself by mistake. Stay present as you work, and keep your attention on the hammer. This way, you are less likely to have an accident. If you daydream while working, you could wind up hitting your fingers instead of the nails.


Inspect the knot you have formed. Maneuver around other players. Form a circle by untangling your knot.

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

Communicate with the other players in your Human Knot to figure out where to begin untangling. If you are supervising younger children, you may need to encourage them to do this. There may be an easy part of the knot that comes undone quickly, which will free up more slack for others in the knot.  Especially when working with children, but also when playing with your friends, you'll want to be sure that everyone is gentle when untangling. Pulling or yanking too hard might hurt someone! In the beginning, the knot will be tight and thick with many crossed arms. You and your group might want to take a step backwards, if possible. This way you have a better perspective of the Human Knot. You and the other players should be ready to bend, twist, and move in any way that is required for untangling your knot. You may find you or others need to duck under the hands of other players, step over a pair of hands, or do similar moves to untangle your knot. Since this game requires some measure of flexibility, you may want to consider stretching first. While playing, you should always try to be respectful of the boundaries of others. If you find yourself in an uncomfortable position with another player, you might ask if other players can help you out by untangling a different part of the knot. You'll notice, as your knot becomes untangled, that a circle will start to form. Some people may end up facing the inside of the circle, some the outside, but by the time you've finished untangling, you should have an unbroken circle of joined hands. Congratulations! You've untangled the Human Knot! In some cases, you may have done your job of knotting together too well! This means you won't always be able to unravel your knot, in which case, you can break apart and try again.


Inspect the knot. Pull out the bottom half of the knot. Slide one of the fork prongs through the knot. Use a knitting needle. Pull the knot out. Try again.

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

Look closely at the balloon knot and find where it rolls over itself. You must be careful in this process.  You want to be able to see the area where you'll be able to slide your fork into. Unless the knot is super tight, it should slide through real easy. Careful not to pierce the balloon at this stage. This works even better than a fork prong. Thick needles with a blunt, rounded point are the best. Moisten the needle a little bit by licking it for easier access. Use either the needle or fork to roll the knot out. You can help by trying to push the knot while sliding it down. If it doesn't unroll the first time, slide it back up and repeat this process.


Inspect the leaves of your orchid to ensure it’s healthy enough to prune. Watch for new flowers to develop in 8-12 weeks.

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

If the base of the plant has glossy, green, firm leaves, then it is healthy enough for pruning. However, if the leaves are yellow, brown, dry, or limp, then the plant is not healthy enough for pruning. Give the plant a chance to get healthy before you prune it.Make sure that you wait until all of the flowers have shriveled or fallen off before trimming to encourage new flowers to grow. The speed at which your orchid will flower again will depend on its overall health, climate, and care. However, in general you can expect new flowers to bloom about 8 to 12 weeks after you prune your orchid.If no flowers bloom within 8 to 12 weeks, try lowering the ambient temperature where your orchid is located by 5 °F (−15 °C). This may help to stimulate new growth.


Inspect the mattresses. Inspect the furniture. Keep luggage off the floor. Hang your clothes. Take a large plastic bag. Alert the hotel.

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

If you can’t get around a hotel stay and are concerned about the itchy critters, inspect the your room for any signs of bed bugs. You shouldn't need any special tools to do this. Remove the sheet and mattress pad to inspect the four corners of the mattress and box spring. Bugs are brown with a long, oval shaped body. Most are tiny, about the size of an apple seed but they can be larger, about the size of a nickel. You should also look for black fecal matter and a musty smell. All furniture around the bed will need to be checked. This includes the headboard, nightstands and any pictures on the wall. These bugs can hide behind all of these items. During your stay, use the provided luggage racks after they’ve been inspected for bugs of course. Bugs can hide in the small crevices and climb right into your bag. Place the luggage rack away from any furniture. If the closet is large enough, keep it in there. Folding them and placing in drawers is an unnecessary risk. By hanging them, you significantly reduce your chances of having one or a few crawl into a shirt collar. Before wearing any garment, shake it out as an extra precaution. Store your dirty clothes in a bag as bed bugs can smell and are attracted to the chemical that we leave behind on our clothing. If you forget, ask the hotel to supply something like an extra trash bag. If you suspect your room has a bed bug problem, let the staff know immediately. Ask to be moved to another room as soon as possible. Do not move to an adjacent room. Request a move to another floor.


Inspect the paneling for defects. Clean the panels. Push the panels. Choose an approach.

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

If the panels are not in good shape, they will continue to deteriorate under the covering. If there is major mildew or warping, tear down the panels instead. If a panel is coming away from the wall, nail it down in the groove. If you are reluctant to tear down the paneling, pay for a professional inspection. Some problems can be fixed by cleaning or replacing a few panels, but some damage is irreversible. If your panels are fairly clean, you can get away with water and mild detergent. Dirty walls may need a commercial degreaser to prepare the surface for paint, followed by a thorough water rinse. Degreasers can be dangerous to skin and lungs, so follow label instructions carefully.  TSP (trisodium phosphate) is an effective choice, but it is banned in some areas for environmental reasons. If you want an environmentally friendly cleaner, you might try using a brand like Simple Green. If the panels flex or depress when pushed, filling the grooves between them is not recommend. This movement will cause the filling to crack over time. You can paint over the panels without filling, but the grooves will still be visible.  If your panels are solid lumber (not plywood), prime the area with a joint compound (such as the kind you would use for drywall) before filling the grooves. If you don't, any filling you put in the grooves will eventually crack or fall out. You can either paint over your panels or hang wall liner over them. Wall liner is an extra-sturdy wallpaper that will cover but not hide the grooves in your paneling. Alternatively, you can decorate wood panels with bookshelves, drapes, or art to minimize their appearance.


Inspect the position of the fill tube in the overflow tube. Purchase a fastening clip. Install the fastening clip on the fill tube. Hook the fastening clip onto the overflow tube.

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

Lift the lid off the toilet tank and look inside. You’ll see a large, white tube: this is the overflow tube. Positioned directly over this should be a smaller, hose-like tube: the fill tube. The fill tube should not be inserted into the overflow tube.  If the fill tube is inside of the overflow tube, it will siphon water back out of the overflow tube and out of the tank. This form of back-siphoning is a common cause of ghost flushing. A fastening clip is a small metal clip which will prevent the fill tube from siphoning water back out of the overflow tube. Fastening clips are about 2 inches (5.1 cm) long and have a small clasp on one end. Fastening clips should be available in the plumbing section of any hardware store. Ask sales staff for help if you can’t find fastening clips on your own. One end of the fastening clip will be hollow and round. Firmly grasp the end of the fill tube, and push this end of the clip inside of the fill tube. The fastening clip fits into the fill tube by friction, so push firmly when installing the clip. The clip end of the fastening clip should hook directly onto the upper lip of the overflow tube. This will keep the fill tube a good distance above the overflow tube, and keep it from siphoning water back out of the tank. Flush the toilet to make sure that it operates correctly. Listen as the tank refills to make sure you don’t hear any ghost flushing. Unless you have a faulty flapper, the problem should be fixed.


Inspect the pump and other equipment for damage. Reconnect the pump and other plumbing equipment. Run the pump to drain the water line if you used antifreeze. Replace the winterizing plugs on the pool pump and other equipment. Reattach ladders and additional accessories inside the pool. Refill the pool to replace any missing water. Open the return valves on the pool’s pump system. Start the pump and filter system.

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

The pump, filter, heater, and other devices are all outside the pool. Before reconnecting them, inspect them for cracks. Each piece of equipment will have black, rubber O-rings on the pipes and drain plugs. After removing the old rings, simply slide the new ones in place over the valves or connecting pipes. Spread a pool gasket lubricant on them to keep them safe.  New O-rings are available online, at hardware stores, or any other place that carries plumbing supplies. Note the position of any O-rings and plugs so you can keep an eye out for leaks that need to be repaired. Connect the pump, filter, heater, cleaners, and any other hardware responsible for managing the water supply. Plug the pump pipe into the filter housing, using plumber’s tape to prevent leaks. The skimmer connects to the pool pump, which connects to the filter. The filter connects to the heater, chlorinator, and any additional equipment you may have.  If you don’t have any extra equipment to attach to the filter, run the filter’s hose to the pump’s return inlet valve. If you have an above-ground pool, use flexible plumbing lines to connect the skimmer to the pump and other equipment. If you didn’t winterize your pool, you won’t need to deal with the equipment very much. Skip to reactivating the pump and conditioning the water. If you put antifreeze into the water line to protect it during the winter, drain it out before removing the winterizing plugs. Make sure the controlling valve on the pump is set to waste. Activate the pump, letting it run for at least 1 minute. Most of the antifreeze will drain out, leaving plenty of room for pool water.  If the pump doesn’t come on, check its wiring. Head to the nearby circuit breaker controlling the pump’s electrical supply and make sure it is on. Pool antifreeze isn’t harmful, so you don’t need to worry if some of it leaks into the pool. Running the pump for a few cycles later will also pump out the antifreeze. If you installed the plugs when you closed the pool for winter, check the water line...


Inspect the race trail several days before you run. Eat high-carbohydrate foods four hours before your race. Practice visualization before the race begins. Make the most of your strengths.

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

Ask your coach for a map of the course or, if running independently, check the race website for a map. Study the course either in-person or via the map, and make note of challenging areas (like long, steep hills). Make a racing plan as you survey the area so you can decide on a strategy. Suppose you notice three big hills near the end of your race. You could plan to run at a slower pace before you reach these hills to conserve energy. Four hours gives your body enough time to digest the food and turn it into energy. At least eighty percent of your pre-race meal should be carbohydrates. Avoid food with high fat, fiber, or protein content.  Drink something with a high carbohydrate content, like chocolate milk or a sports drink. Bread, oatmeal, or pasta all make ideal meals before a race. Imagining yourself doing your best and reaching your goals can actually help you achieve them. One or two hours beforehand, picture yourself running the race and doing well. When it's time to race, you'll feel more confident and prepared to compete.  Include vivid details, like the weather or the runners around you, to make the visualization seem real. Picture positive as well as negative moments. When setbacks occur during the race, you'll face them with less anxiety. Run fastest in the areas you feel most confident in. If you love running downhill, speed your way down. Or, if you prefer uphill running, conserve your energy on the even or downhill areas so you can climb the hills with confidence.


Inspect the wound. Stop the bleeding. Reposition the victim so the wound is above the heart. Cover the dressing. Fasten the dressing in place.

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

You want to get an idea of the how much blood loss you are dealing with. Immediately after cleaning the wound, inspect it for depth and any signs of damaged blood vessels, such as squirting or pulsatile blood flow. The average person has approximately eight liters of circulating blood; a loss of 10 percent of this blood volume can have serious consequences, including  loss of consciousness and lack of blood supply to vital organs.  Take this opportunity to evaluate for wound depth, as a wound of one centimeter or greater will usually require sutures once you can get some medical care. Do not remove an object if it is embedded in the wound. Leave it in the wound; it is helping to stem the blood flow. Removing the object will actually increase blood flow. Medical professionals will be better able to remove the object without damaging any internal organs or causing massive blood loss in the process. Since you don't have gauze or bandages, apply firm pressure on the wound with a clean and absorbent material, like a shirt, towel or sock. If the item becomes soaked with blood, don't remove it as this can disturb any blood clots that may be starting to form. Instead, place another piece of material on top of the soaked one and keep applying direct pressure.  If there is an object is still in the wound, press firmly around it. Applying pressure to the wound will help to slow the flow of blood.  If the wound is gaping and bleeding profusely, try stuffing the wound with a towel or blanket, or with tampons if they are available, and then applying pressure. Right now it is more important to stop the person from bleeding out than worry about possible infection. Some first aid training suggests using the edge of a credit card to "seal" the wound, an item that's handy because so many people have one on them. Not only does this stem blood flow, but it may also prevent lung collapse (by keeping air out of the wound) if the wound is in the chest.  If the wound is bleeding profusely, apply pressure to the major artery leading...


Inspect what you have written, and think about which word you are using and decide how to spell the word you are concerned of using correctly. Use there when referring to a certain place; compare "there"  to "here" and "where". Compare there are, to "here are" and "where are". Use their and theirs to indicate possession. Remember that they're is a contraction of the phrase they are. Ask test questions. Recognize incorrect examples and learn from the mistakes. Practice, practice, practice!

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

(Of course, your word would logically have followed information indicating or naming of whom or about what you were talking.) The chosen word would need to agree with its "subject/topic" to which you refer. The place can be either concrete ("over here or there by the building") or more abstract ("it must be difficult to be there in your mind"). There plus a "to be" verb such as "are" indicates the existence of something mentioned.  "There are antiques here -- where? Look there.  Oh, and, see here we've found them!" "Are there many of the documents stored here? Yes, see them here, where they are safe. Do you see where they are -- right over there!?" "There will be a picnic here, and there is a monstrous campground over there across the river. There is one of the places where they are staying tonight." Compare to "heir -- to inherit possessions as "an heir of their uncle who had no children." Their is a possessive adjective and indicates that a particular noun belongs to them.  "Sam and Jan are heirs of their parents'  land and possessions as "their legal heirs"." "Their things were broken." Compare "Our things were broken." Yes, it shows possession. "I see their flowers are blooming in their garden." "Yes, from the seeds their grandmother gave to them last fall." It is not a modifier, but only a pronoun (for a name of who or what) plus the contraction " 're" of the verb "are" (a state of being verb).   They're my friends." Check that " They are my friends." makes sense. Yes! I would go with you, but they're going to take me. Check, " they are going to take me". Yes! Ask yourself these questions, but they may not work in a few cases:  For there, will the sentence still make sense, if you replace "there" with here or where? If so, it's right. For their, will the sentence still make sense -- if you replace "their" with our (to see whether it is a possessive sentence), but of course that test phrase would change to whom it belongs. Ours belongs to us, but theirs belongs to them.  Still, if "our" fits logically it...


Inspect your DVD to find a scratch on the shiny surface. Place a dab of toothpaste on the scratch. Use a cotton swab to rub the toothpaste into the scratch. Wipe the DVD with a damp lint-free cloth from the center to the edge. Put the DVD in your player to check if it's working.

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

When your DVD stops working, it's usually a large scratch in the plastic coating that causes these problems. Grab the DVD by the edges and hold it near some light so you can see every little groove in the coating. Look for the scratch somewhere on the surface of the DVD. The scratch might be tiny. If you can see it, it's likely that it's causing problems with your DVD playback. Use either a cotton swab or a lint-free cloth to place the toothpaste on the scratch. Don't use your finger as you might cause further damage to the surface of the DVD. Some people advise using a toothbrush to add the toothpaste to the scratch. This is a bad idea as some toothbrushes have thick bristles that will scratch the surface of your DVD. Rub the scratch using small, circular motions with the cotton swab. Don't be too rough with the cotton swab. You should try to be as delicate as possible when rubbing the scratch with the toothpaste. Conventional wisdom says to never use circular motions to clean a DVD. This is true for the most part but you have to use circular motions to remove the scratch from the surface. Use a clean cloth to clean the toothpaste from the DVD. Use gentle, fluid strokes with the cloth to clean the disc's surface and cause minimal damage. Avoid using tap water as the salty minerals will erode the surface of the disc. If the DVD plays perfectly without skipping, you've managed to get rid of the scratch and fix the DVD. If the DVD still skips after you've fixed the scratch, there are a number of possibilities:  There's another scratch you need to clean. Chances are that you cleaned 1 scratch of many on the surface of the DVD. If the DVD won't work after you cleaned the first scratch, use toothpaste on the others. There's a problem with your DVD player. Blow into the disc feed to clean dust away from the reading lens. If the DVD still skips, try putting another DVD in the DVD player. If that works without a problem, your DVD is probably damaged beyond repair.
