Examine the device for wax build up. Wipe visible wax with a cloth. Use a wax pick. Separate the ear molds from the aids. Clean and dry the ear molds. Reassemble.

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

The first step is to make a quick visual examination of your device for visible buildup. Most hearing aids have specific parts where earwax tends to accumulate such as filters and wax guards, sound bores and hearing aid tips, and tubing.  Filters and wax guards offer built-in protection from ear wax. They are designed to be easily removed by the user and should be inspected daily for wax buildup.  The sound bore or tip of the hearing aid is where the sound exits. This part can easily become clogged and should be inspected daily for wax buildup. The tubing connects the hearing aid to the ear mold. Wax can often accumulate here and the blockage requires special tools to dislodge the wax build-up. The hearing aid should be wiped each morning with a soft cloth or tissue. It is best to wipe down hearing aids in the morning (not at night) so that the wax has had a chance to dry and will thus be easier to remove. Avoid wiping debris into the microphone ports. The wax pick should be used to remove wax buildup from the receiver or speaker of the aid. The small wire loop should be inserted into the opening of the speaker until resistance is felt. Scoop out wax from the opening until all is removed. For BTE aids, disconnect the ear mold from the hearing aid by pinching the tubing with one hand and the pinching the ear hook with the other. Twist and pull the tubing from the ear hook, making sure that you are near the seam between the two. Once the ear molds are removed from your BTE device, they should be soaked for 10 minutes in warm, soapy water. After 10 minutes, dry with a clean, soft towel, and use a dryer to remove excess water from the tubing. Do not soak the hearing aids—only the ear molds. Once the ear molds are completely dry, reassemble by twisting the tubing onto the ear molds so that the wing of the ear mold is oriented oppositely of the sound opening.


Examine the equations in standard format. Subtract corresponding terms. Write out the result. Solve for the remaining variable. Replace that solution into one of your original equations. Solve for the remaining variable. Check your two solutions. Write out your solution.

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

When you have your equations written in standard format, lined up so the similar terms are aligned, check the coefficients. You are looking for one pair of coefficients that match.  For example, consider these two equations:  2x+y=5{\displaystyle 2x+y=5} 2x−3y=1{\displaystyle 2x-3y=1}   You should see very quickly that the term 2x{\displaystyle 2x} appears identically in each equation. Be very careful when matching the terms. Look for the signs (plus or minus) to match as well. For this method of solving, the terms 2x{\displaystyle 2x} and −2x{\displaystyle -2x} are NOT considered to be the same. If your system does not have a matching pair of coefficients, you cannot use this method for solving. You will need to go on to the next method. Working across the system from left to right, subtract each term of the second equation from the corresponding term of the first equation. It may be helpful simply to draw a long horizontal line across the bottom of the two equations and subtract downward, as you would with any ordinary subtraction problem.  2x+y=5{\displaystyle 2x+y=5} 2x−3y=1{\displaystyle 2x-3y=1} ------------------------ 0x+4y=4{\displaystyle 0x+4y=4} If one of your terms matched exactly, as it should, and you subtracted correctly, then one of the variables should be eliminated from the problem. Rewrite what you have left as a single equation.  In the example above, you should be left with 4y=4{\displaystyle 4y=4}. Because one of the variables gets eliminated in this method, some textbooks will refer to this as the “elimination” method of solving a system of equations. What you have left should be a fairly simple, one-variable equation. Solve it by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient. In the example above, divide both sides of 4y=4{\displaystyle 4y=4} by 4. You will be left with the solution y=1{\displaystyle y=1}. Take that solution, in our example y=1, and substitute it in place of y{\displaystyle y} in either one of the original equations. In this case, we can choose the first...


Examine the formula. Plug your values into the equation. Do the math.

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

If you have a very large population or an unknown one, you'll need to use a secondary formula. If you still have values for the remainder of the variables, use the equation:   Sample Size = [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2   z = z-score  e = margin of error  p = standard of deviation   Note that this equation is merely the top half of the full formula. Replace each variable placeholder with the numerical values chosen for your survey.   Example: Determine the necessary survey size for an unknown population with a 90% confidence level, 50% standard of deviation, a 3% margin of error. For 90% confidence, use the z-score would be 1.65. This means that:   z = 1.65  e = 0.03  p = 0.5 After plugging you numbers into the formula, solve the equation. Your answer will indicate your necessary sample size.  Example: Sample Size = [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 = [1.652 * 0.5(1-0.5)] / 0.032  = [2.7225 * 0.25] / 0.0009 = 0.6806 / 0.0009 = 756.22 (final answer)


Examine the hat. Check the material. Look for washing instructions. Go to a dry cleaner. Reconsider the dishwasher.

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

Before you decide to wash a white hat, you should carefully examine it. Look at how the hat is stitched, at the headband, and at the brim. If the hat appears to be constructed of quality material, has durable stitching, and has a plastic brim, it is a good candidate for washing.  Do not attempt to wash a hat with a cardboard visor. Avoid washing a hat if it has loose or flimsy stitching. You will need to figure out what type of material the hat is made of. Look at the tag or printing inside the hat. It should tell you what material the hat is made out of, such as cotton, polyester, twill, or wool. These materials are all washable. The tag or printing inside your hat can tell you how you should wash the hat. These instructions can include what temperature of water to use, whether to hand or machine wash, and how you should dry your hat. It is important to follow these directions if you hat’s tag includes them. If you are unsure about whether or not you can safely wash your white hat at home, consider taking the hat to a dry cleaner. A dry cleaner can clean the hat for you, or provide you with suggestions about how you can launder the hat yourself. Washing a hat in the dishwasher can lead to damage. This is due to the high temperatures and washing intensity of the machine. For best results, you should wash your hat by hand or take it to a dry cleaner.


Examine the image. Change the paper type. Print the page. Use your transparencies cautiously.

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

Before your print, think about the purpose of your image. For example, if you're using a transparency in an overhead projector, you pretty much have free reign in what you print. On the other hand, if you're using the transparency for something like screen printing, you need to make sure the image has a clear outline and it's in black and white, to make it easier to print to the screen. When you go to print, you need to change the type of paper you are printing on. Usually, you'll find it under the printing preferences. Look for something like "paper quality" or "paper type." Select "transparencies" under the type of paper. If your printer doesn't have a transparency setting, use the glossy paper setting. Once you have everything set up, you print the page as normal. If you're printing in black and white, you may want to set the printing to its darkest setting. That way, it will show the contrast better, whether you're using the transparency for an overhead projector or for screen printing. All you need to do to print is click "File" and "Print." Once under "Print," you can change some settings. However, you may need to go into "Printing Preferences" to change some settings. While you can use these transparencies as you would any other transparency, you should realize that one you print at home won't be quite as durable as a professionally printed one. Be careful of your hand oils, and try not to get the transparency wet, as the ink may run.


Examine the label and logo. Look for a model number. Buy from a reputable seller. Recognize key words. When shopping for sunglasses on Amazon, look for "Sold and shipped by Amazon".

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

Authentic logos are usually placed on the lens, arms, or inside the ear piece and use consistent size, font, and colors.  Any slight error or variation could indicate your sunglasses are fake.  Misspelled brand names (e.g. "Guci" instead of "Gucci" and logos are also an indication that the glasses may be fake.  Before you purchase sunglasses, go to the manufacturer website and look at the markings and logos.  This will help you when you make a purchase. Model number are consistent worldwide no matter whether you purchase the sunglasses online or in a store. Go the manufacturer website to verify the model number of the sunglasses.  The model number is usually found on the frames of the glasses.  Fake sunglasses may have model numbers that are not listed on the manufacturer website. Authentic sunglasses are usually sold by an authorized website, boutique, or store. Street vendors are most likely selling counterfeit items.  If the price is deeply discounted and sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stay away from websites that do not take returns and offer no way (e.g. phone number, email address, etc.) for you to contact them.  China is hotbed for counterfeit production.  Be careful when purchasing items made in China. If you purchase from a website, check out the buyers rate and the sellers' reviews. A web site selling authentic sunglasses will often have a guarantee of authenticity. Your sunglasses should look and feel like they are well made. Words like "high quality," "cosmetic," "replica," "inspired by," are often used to when glasses are not authentic.  Take note if you see any of these words being used to describe the seller or the glasses.  In addition to the glasses being fake, they may shatter easily and not offer you UV protection. This guarantees that they will be authentic.


Examine the leaves of the tree. Look at the bark. Check for overall height and width. Look at the trunk. Consider the tree’s location.

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

Elm leaves alternate along two sides of the stem. The leaf is oval in shape and comes to a point at the end. The edges of the leaf are jagged and the veins are prominent.  The base of the leaf is slightly asymmetrical. Many varieties of elm leaves are smooth on top and fuzzy on the bottom.  The leaves of an American elm are typically 10-15 centimeters (4-6 inches)  long. Leaves of the English Elm are usually ten centimeters (four inches) long and seven centimeters (two and a half inches) wide.  They sport 10 to 12 veins.  European White Elms have up to 17 veins on the front of the leaf and 14 on the bottom. The bark of an elm is rough and coarse, with intersecting ridges.  The color is a light grey to dark greyish-brown. The bark will be deeply furrowed.  The Siberian elm is an exception, and often has exfoliated bark that is green or orange in color. The bark on the European White Elm, unlike most other species, remains smooth even into maturity.  Cedar elms have lighter purplish-grey bark than most other varieties. Mature elms reach a height of about 35 meters (115 feet) with a trunk diameter of around 175 centimeters (68 inches). Depending on the species or cultivar, they can reach 9 to 18 meters (30-59 feet) in width.  Many American species of elm will actually become larger, with some growing to 39 meters (128 feet) in height and 37 meters (121 feet) in width. Elms will usually have a vase or fountain shape. Elm trees often have split or branching trunks. There might be two or more trunks branching up and away from the main trunk.  If you see a tree with a single, central vertical trunk, it is not an elm. Use the location of the tree to determine if it could be an elm.  Different varieties of elms grow in different places.  For instance, American elms are common in the eastern half of the United States, from the Rocky Mountains eastward.  They are less common west of the Rockies, though the can be found in California.  Siberian elms (also known as the Asiatic, Lacebark, or Chinese elm) are common in...


Examine the music's time signature. Understand the differences between note values. Decipher the note symbols on the page. Decipher rest symbols. Count the notes. Use a metronome to practice.

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

If you have some sheet music, look for the time signature first. The time signature is listed on the left side of every bar (row) of music.  When looking at a time signature, the top number indicates the number of beats in each measure or the space between the vertical bars as you read across the music score. Think of measures as ways of grouping the number of beats in the music into equal parts. The bottom number of the time signature tells you which type of note counts as a single beat. You're likely to encounter one of three bottom numbers: 2, which signals that a half note counts as one beat; 4, the most common option, which signals that a quarter note counts as one beat; and 8, which signals that an eighth note counts as 1 beat. Some examples: 4/4, the most common time signature, means there are four beats in every measure, and each beat is a quarter note long. 3/4 is also common, and means that there are three beats in every measure, and each beat is a quarter note long. 7/8 means that there are seven beats in each measure, and each beat is a quarter note long. Different notes cover different lengths of time. The standard note is the quarter note.  For most time signatures, the beats are measured in quarter notes.  A half note is the length of two quarter notes. A whole note is the length of four quarter notes. An eighth note is half the length of a quarter note. A dotted quarter note is the length of one quarter note and one eighth note. A sixteenth note is 1/4th the length of a quarter note. Notes in sheet music are represented by symbols that consist of vertical lines, open and filled circles, horizontal lines, and flags on the vertical lines. In order to count rhythms on a sheet music, you have to know what note value each symbol stands for.  Quarter notes look like vertical lines with a solid circle foot. Half notes look like vertical lines with an open circle foot. Whole notes look like open circles. Eighth notes look like vertical lines with a flag coming off the top and a solid circle foot. When...


Examine the name. Consider the origin. Take into account accent marks and other diacritics. Look for diacritics indicating tone.

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

If you've seen it but not heard it, oftentimes just sounding it out in your head first can help a lot with your pronunciation. Work with each syllable in turn. Unless it's Welsh.  Think about other words you already know that look similar to the name. For example, the letters q-u-i in French sound like the word key in English. So just as the word "quiche" is pronounced keysh, the name "Quitterie" would be pronounced key-tree. Sometimes city names can get your mind going. Think of ones like San Jose, Guadalajara, Lille, Versailles, and Guangzhou. Does it look French? Spanish? Chinese? Know that every language has a unique alphabet and set of sounds associated with it, so any prior knowledge of languages will assist you in your pronunciation.  Spanish has a very consistent alphabet, unlike English. The vowels are always pronounced "ah," "eh," "ee," "oh," and "oo." French has a fairly consistent alphabet as well, but it's a bit more tricky. If the name ends in a consonant, don't pronounce it. "Robert" becomes row-bear. And a name like Michelle? It's mee-shell, not meh-shell. Mandarin Chinese is trickier still. The "Q" is pronounced ch, "X" is pronounced sh, and "Z" is pronounced dr. "Xiaojin Zhu" is shiao-jin drew. If you're a bit confused about "ei" and "ie" in German, opt for the second letter's name. "Steinbeck" has a vowel like "I"--the second letter. "Auf Wiedersehen" has a vowel like "E"--the second letter. They can significantly change the way a name is pronounced.  In Spanish, you want to put the most emphasis on the syllable that has the accent; e.g., María should be pronounced ma-REE-uh. Unfortunately, French doesn't follow the same rules. The sounds "è" and "é" are two different sounds. Though they are very similar, they are similar to eh (the sound in red) and ay, respectively. Examples of this include Renée (ruh-nay), André (on-dray), Honoré (ah-nor-ay), and Helène (heh-lehne). The most frequent character used with a cedilla is the "ç"; the cedilla makes it soft (ss, not kuh). Though this requires a...


Examine the needles. Look at the cones. Look at the bark color. Consider the shape of the spruce.

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

The needles of the spruce differ among the various species of the tree. The color of the needles, their measurements, and even the smell when the needles are crushed can be helpful factors in identifying the tree.  The Colorado Spruce has blue or blue-silver needles that are quite sharp and are ¾ to 1 ½ inches long. The Black Spruce has stubby needles that are only about ½ long. The Red Spruce has yellow-green needles around ½ - 1 inch long that give off the scent of orange rind when they are crushed.  The White Spruce has bluish green needles that give off an unpleasant scent of skunk when crushed.  The Norway Spruce has dark green needles that are about 1 inch long. The cones of spruce trees often vary between different species. Particularly pay attention to the measurements and the color of the cones. If the cones of the spruce do not match the descriptions of the most common spruces listed below, use a tree identification guide to help you narrow down the tree specie.  The Colorado Spruce has dark brown cones that are around 2-4 inches long. The Black Spruce has roundish dark-purple cones that are ½ to 1 ½ inches long. The cones grow around the top of the tree.  The Red Spruce has reddish-brown cones that are around 1 ½ inches long and are rough in texture.  The White Spruce has thin cones that are about 1 ¼ to 2 inches in length. Its cones are light brown and very flexible. The Norway Spruce has very large distinctive cones that grow about 4-7 inches and are light brown in color. Spruce trees also have subtle variations in bark color among species. Though it may not give you an answer by itself, the bark color is also an additional factor to consider when identifying the tree.  The Colorado Spruce has thin bark that forms in small scales. The bark turns from pale grey to brown as the tree ages. The Black Spruce has thin, scaly bark that is dark green-brown in color.  The Red Spruce has bark with a reddish hue which is especially visible between the scales of the bark.  The White Spruce has ash-brown,...


Examine the overall quality of the bag’s hardware and zipper. Look for a patina on the bag’s handles if it’s vintage. Look for 5 mustard-yellow stitches across the top of each handle. Inspect the interior lining to see if it’s brown canvas.

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

The hardware and zipper should be real metal with a gold coating on them. There should not be any discoloration or tarnish on the metal. It should look shiny and bright. If the hardware is plastic or if it looks tarnished, it’s likely a knockoff bag. Some other hardware features to look for include:  Clean, precise printing on the hardware. You should be able to easily make out the words Louis Vuitton on the bag’s zipper pull and other hardware features. LV logos printed on the snaps if the bag has snaps. If the bag has snaps, but they don’t have a logo on them, then it is likely a fake. Over time, a Louis Vuitton’s handles will change from a bright white color to a brown or even a brownish red. This is a result of the leather oxidizing and absorbing oils from the owner’s skin as they handle the bag. The change in color is called the patina. It’s a normal part of the leather’s aging process. If you find a bag that is marketed as vintage and does not have a patina, then it is likely a fake. For example, if the bag was supposedly made in the 1990s, then the handles should be a deep shade of brown. If they are still a light tan or white, then the bag is a fake. Louis Vuitton ensures that their bags have this number of stitches and they use a mustard-yellow thread to sew them, so more or less than 5 stiches or a different color of thread would be a dead giveaway that the bag is a fake.  For example, if the thread is brown or black, it’s likely a fake. The stitching should look very neat and even as well. If the stitching is sloppy, the bag is likely a knockoff. Knock-offs use cheap plastic or suede to line their bags. However, an authentic Louis Vuitton will be lined with a brown canvas material. Depending on the specific design, a real Louis Vuitton bag may be lined with other textiles, such as cross-grain leather, polyester, or microfiber suede.


Examine the prompt or assignment. Read the text. Do some research.

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

Be sure you understand exactly what you are being asked to do. The assignment may use the word “critique,” or it might use a phrase such as “critical assessment,” “critical review,” or “critical evaluation.” All of these are critique assignments and will require you to not only summarize but evaluate the work you are discussing. Keep in mind some questions and take notes as you read. These will help guide your formulation of your ideas later. For example:  Does the creator clearly state her/his main point or goal? If not, why do you think that is? Who do you think is the creator’s intended audience? This can be crucial to determining the success of a work; for example, a movie intended for young children might work well for its intended audience but not for adult viewers. What reactions do you have when reading or viewing this work? Does it provoke emotional responses? Do you feel confused? What questions does the work make you think of? Does it suggest other avenues of exploration or observation to you? You usually will not need to do a lot of research, but in order to talk about how the work relates to a larger issue or context, you will need to know what it is responding to, what context it was created in, etc.  For example, if you're critiquing a research article about a new treatment for the flu, a little research about other flu treatments currently available could be helpful to you when situating the work in context. As another example, if you're writing about a movie, you might want to briefly discuss the director's other films, or other important movies in this particular genre (indie, action, drama, etc.). Your school or university library is usually a good place to start when conducting research, as their databases provide verified, expert sources. Google Scholar can also be a good source for research.


Examine the reasons that you feel stuck. Look for solutions to problems you can solve. Challenge negative thoughts that might be holding you back.

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

There are lots of reasons why you might end up feeling stuck or unable to move forward in life. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by too many responsibilities, or perhaps you simply don’t know what you want to do with your life. Take some time to try to pinpoint why you feel the way you do. From there, you can work on finding solutions and taking steps to move yourself ahead. Start by pinpointing the areas where you feel stuck, then try to identify the reasons for that feeling. For example, “I’m lonely, but I’m hesitant to try dating again. Maybe it’s because my last breakup was so difficult, and I’m worried about getting hurt again.” Once you’ve pinpointed what’s holding you back, try to identify which areas you have control over and which ones you don’t. That way, you can focus on fixing the things you have control over. Identify the problem you’d like to focus on and brainstorm a few possible solutions. For example, maybe you’d like to apply for a grant-writing job, but you’re afraid you won’t get it because you lack experience. Possible solutions might include taking grant-writing courses or applying for an internship. Fear of what might go wrong can really hold you back. If you realize that you’re in a rut because you lack confidence in yourself or you’re convinced that you’ll fail if you try something new, stop and think about whether your thoughts are realistic. Look for evidence to counter your negative thoughts. For example, maybe you’d like to try acting, but you’re afraid to take a class because you think you’ll look foolish in front of your classmates. Try telling yourself, “Probably everyone in the class will be a beginner, like me. Everyone has to start somewhere, and we’ll all be making ourselves vulnerable together.”


Examine the rings of an exposed stump. Sand the stump to see the rings more clearly. Count the rings from the pith to the bark.

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

The number of rings on a stump indicates the number of years the tree lived. You’ll see rings of darker and lighter bands; 1 year of growth is composed of both a dark and light band. Since they’re easier to distinguish, count the dark bands to estimate the age. The rings can also tell you about the environmental conditions for a particular year. Thinner rings represent colder or dryer years, and thicker rings represent better growing conditions. If the rings are hard to make out, start by sanding them with coarse, 60-grit sandpaper. Finish with a very fine sandpaper, such as 400-grit. Spraying the surface lightly with water can also make the rings easier to see. You might find that some rings are too close together to see clearly. If necessary, use a magnifying glass to get a better view. Find the pith, or the small circle at the center of the concentric rings. Start counting from the first dark band around the pith. Continue counting until you’ve reached the bark. The last ring is pressed up against the bark and hard to see, so make sure to include it in your count. If you have trouble keeping track, try writing a number or making a mark every 10 rings with a pencil.


Examine the shears to find the lap line. Set the proper angle of the clamp. Do a scratch test. Grind the blacking off. Test the shears.

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

A different kind of metal with a slightly different color is used for the cutting surface on most good-quality pair of pinking shears. Hold the blade and look at it from the side: there should be a shiny metal on the bottom side, a distinct line, and a darker matte grey metal on the cutting surface.  If you don't see this, the shears need to be replaced. They've worn out over time and there's nothing left to sharpen. To sharpen pinking shears, you won't ever sharpen between the individual "teeth" on the blade, which would ruin the action of the shears and make it so they wouldn't cut properly. Instead, you want to sharpen along the flat edge of those teeth on the cutting surface, honing the teeth all the way from the "peak" at the top of each tooth to the "valley" at the bottom. The blades of most pinking shears have an angle of between 0 and 5 degrees, and some have a slightly negative angle at which you'll need to set the the clamp to sharpen them properly. Estimate the angle, or start at 0 and perform a scratch test to see if the clamp is set properly. Secure the shears in the clamp so the flat side of the blade is perpendicular to the sharpening wheel. Use a permanent marker and blacken the flat blade side of the pinking shears you're going to sharpen. Make sure you darken all the way up to each peak and down to each valley. You don't need to color between them, just on the flat side you're going to sharpen. Rotate the sharpening wheel with your hand (you don't need to turn it on) to scratch the blade quickly on it to see if you've got the clamp set at the proper angle. You should see the blacking start to wear off on the blade, not lower on the silver side or too high on the peaks. Adjust the blade accordingly before you start sharpening. When you've got the clamp set appropriately, turn on your machine and do a few passes with the blade. After three or four, turn it off again and examine your blade to make sure you're grinding evenly. If the black is removed, you're doing a good job. Do a few more...


Examine the situation. Reflect on your feelings. Talk with your boyfriend.

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

Identify when your boyfriend’s behavior started to upset you. Consider how your actions may have impacted the situation.  Does the shift in his mood coincide with a stressful week at school or work or has he been acting strange for months? His inattention may not be a reflection of his feelings for you, but his emotional response to a stressful or upsetting situation. Are you placing unreasonable expectations on your boyfriend? Do you flood his inbox with texts? Are you constantly checking up on him? Or, have you remained patient, calm, and trusting? Are you the only one putting any effort into the relationship? Ask yourself why you desire to ignore your boyfriend. Are you fighting? Is he failing to communicate with you? Consider why his actions, or lack of actions, are upsetting you. Are you the only one putting any effort into the relationship? Remember, you are allowed to feel upset, hurt, angry, or neglected.  Keep track of your thoughts in a journal. Talk through your feelings with someone you trust. Talk about your feelings over coffee with your best friend. Have a conversation with your boyfriend about your feelings and concerns. Use “I” statements instead of “you” statements. Allow him to respond. Don’t cut him off or interrupt him. If he remains emotionally evasive or brushes of your concerns, end the conversation and take action.  Take responsibility for your feelings. Use "I" statements, such as "I feel ignored," "I am concerned about our relationship," "I feel hurt when you choose to hang out with your friends instead of spending time with me." Avoid "you" statements, which place the blame completely on the other person. Examples of "you" statements include "you are ignoring me," "You don't seem to care about our relationship," and "you never want to see me."


Examine the stung area immediately after being attacked. Pat the area dry with a towel. Pour the vodka directly over the affected area.

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

Also, try to determine that it is a jellyfish that has stung you, before acting.  For some types of marine bites and stings, vodka may not work as well (or at all). Remove any debris or sand from the affected area and examine the area for any stingers. If you see a stinger embedded in your skin, take care removing it, so that you don’t break off the stinger and leave a portion lodged in your skin. Shaving cream or sand can be used to remove stingers. Allow it to sit on top of the skin. The vodka will not only relieve the burning sensation, it will also clean the area.


Examine the toddler's social interactions. Examine imaginative play. Watch for how they read others. Look at whom they choose to socialize with. Watch for monotonous or idiosyncratic speaking. Watch for unusual language use. Watch for interactions with teachers or daycare workers. Examine question and answer behavior.

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

Difficulties interacting with others is one of the main features of autism. As such, carefully observing how they interact with others can be a good way to recognize signs of Asperger's/autism.  Look for whether they misinterpret simple social cues such as turn-taking during conversation, as this can be a sign of autism.  If they have trouble joining or staying in social interactions, it may be a sign of Asperger's/autism. For example, the child may leave the room in the middle of playing with another child or otherwise be disruptive.  Autistic children tend to prefer playing by themselves and may even get upset if another child approaches them. They may only interact with others when they want to talk about an interest or if they need something. Possible signs of ASD include awkward social interactions such as consistently avoiding eye contact, and unusual body posture, gestures, and/or facial expressions. This type of playing is often different in a child with Asperger's. For example, a child with Asperger's may dislike, or struggle to understand social games. They may prefer games with a set script, such as acting out a favorite story or TV show, or they may enjoy creating fantasy worlds, but struggle with social role play.  For example, if your daughter organizes her stuffed animals into elaborate societies, but doesn't role-play interactions, she may be autistic. In addition, they may seem "in their own world," or may try to impose their choice of game on their playmates or otherwise act in a very one-sided manner.  Some children with Asperger's can follow the lead of a close friend or sibling with roleplaying, but don't do it on their own. Although a young child with Asperger's/ASD may have some sense of emotions at a conceptual level, they may have difficulty reading and interpreting others' feelings in real social interactions, which tend to be fast-paced.  They may also have trouble understanding social boundaries such as need for privacy. Disregard for other's feelings may be interpreted as being...


Examine the urgency of the situation. Determine ownership. Watch out for aggressive dogs. Check for obvious signs of disease. Protect yourself at all times.

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

Seeing an unattended dog outside may instinctively move you to help, but you want to make sure that you are not making the situation worse. For instance, if you see a dog weaving through traffic, chasing after the dog could put you, other pedestrians, and motorists in danger. Wait until the dog is in a safe place before providing assistance. If the dog is already in a safe place do not scare the dog. In this situation it is best to not approach the dog. Stray animals can act unpredictably, so be cautious. Before you whisk a dog a way to safety, make sure that the dog is actually alone and not simply separated momentarily from his owner. You can save yourself a lot of time, hassle and potential criminal charges by making sure the dog is actually lost. Simply wait to see if the owner comes to claim the dog. If the dog has a leash and collar on, you can try to safely grab the leash. This will keep the dog in one place while you wait for an owner to hopefully appear. Dogs on the street will fall into one of two categories: a dog that has been separated from its owner or a stray dog without a home or loving family. There are some safety concerns with both types of dogs. Owned dog’s separated from their owners may be fearful or aggressive when approached by unknown people, including you. The dog may not be used to “street life” and may bite, scratch or run away in fear when you approach it. Or, you may be dealing with an aggressive dog that broke loose from his owner’s home or yard looking for a fight. Since you're unsure what diseases the dog may be carrying, look for aggression, snapping, and biting at everyone and everything. This could indicate that the dog is rabid. If so, he'll also refuse water and salivate a lot. Or, another type of rabies will make the dog look very sick, prevent it from walking, but it will still salivate a lot. If you see any signs like this in a stray dog, call the police and animal control. The dog may also be carrying any of the following diseases:  Rabies Distemper Ticks, fleas,...


Examine the window. Loosen any paint that is sealing the window shut. Insert a putty knife between the window and the frame. Hammer the edge of the window to break the seal created by paint. Push on the window with your hands. Force the window up with a pry bar.

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

Look at both sides of the window, interior and exterior.  Make sure it is a window that is meant to be opened. Some new office and home windows are not meant to be opened. If there are no hinges or the window is a single pane with nowhere to slide, it likely does not open. Make sure that the window is not nailed or screwed shut for security or energy conservation reasons. Check for any staples around the interior of the window where plastic sheeting may have been fastened. Carefully remove them with needle-nose pliers. Make sure any locks are disengaged. Look to see if the window frame has been recently painted. Decide which direction the window is supposed to open: up, outward or sideways. Removing dried paint that collected between the window and frame will free the window and allow it to be opened. Use a razor knife to cut along the edge of the window and the frame. Cut across all four sides of the window. You may need to check the exterior of the window in addition to the inside to make sure that it isn’t painted shut on both sides. Wriggle the knife back and forth to loosen any dried paint between the window and the frame. Go around the entire edge of the window to loosen all sides. Use a wood block to cushion the blows from the hammer and prevent making dents in the wood of the window. Be careful to hit gently so as not to break the window. Hammer the wood portion of the window and not the glass. Try to loosen the window one side at a time. Then try to push the window down as if you were closing it. If it moves, make sure the window is straight in its frame and slowly attempt to open it.  Push each corner to see if there is any movement. Press on the window gently to open it a little at a time. Place a small block of wood on the window frame to give your pry bar more leverage. Gently force the window up with the pry bar.  Reposition the pry bar along the bottom edge of the window to lift both sides of the window. Using a pry bar may damage the wood of the window or window frame, use this method very...


Examine the zipper to see if it’s strong enough for stretching. Insert a calf stretcher into the boot. Spray the boot with stretching spray if you want extra stretch. Twist the handle or wheel to widen the boot stretcher. Leave the stretcher in for at least 2 hours or overnight.

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

If your zipper is shoddily constructed, or if it’s not sewn in well, you may damage it by using too much pressure with the boot stretcher. Make sure you are using a stretcher designed for the calf of a boot and not one for the toes or instep. A calf stretcher will look tall and thin. You don’t have to use a stretching spray, but it will help soften the fabric and you will achieve better results. Depending on the style of boot stretcher, you may have a lever or there may be a small wheel in the center. Use these to adjust the stretcher until it fits snugly in the calf of the boot. For best results, you want to leave the stretcher in for as long as possible. If you sprayed your boots with stretching spray, you’ll want to leave the stretcher in until the spray dries.


Examine their feathers. Glance around their eyes for discharge or redness. Look for scaly skin or scabs. Lift them up to check their vent. Touch the stomach to check for egg binding. Shine a light on their throat to look for air sac mites.

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

Typically, feathers should be smooth, shiny, and full. Patchy, thin, or missing feathers can mean that the canary is sick. If the canary is plucking their own feathers, they may be stressed or unwell. Feathers missing from their head can be a sign of mites. The eyes of a healthy canary should be clear and black. Any discharge from the eye can indicate an eye infection. Make sure there is no redness or swelling around the outside of the eye either. Gently brush through your canary's feathers with a finger, and check unfeathered areas, such as their feet and beak. If there are any lesions, lumps, or scabs, you should take your canary to a vet. They may have a parasite or canary pox. Lesions are one symptom of canary pox. In their early stages, they may be yellow or white, but they will start to scab over as the disease progresses. The vent is under the bird near their tail feathers. This is where they excrete their droppings. The feathers around the vent should be dry and smooth. If they are wet or stained, they may have diarrhea. If your canary is female, you should gently press your fingers against her abdomen. If you feel any swelling or a hard, protruding bump, she may have a bound egg. Take your canary to a vet immediately. Other signs of egg binding include bobbing their tail, lack of appetite, or trouble with breathing. If you hear your canary making a clicking noise, you may want to check for air sac mites. Take a small, pointed beam of light, and press it against your canary's windpipe in a dimmed room. If you see small grains inside their throat, they likely have mites. You can also stroke your canary's throat to look for a bump or swelling, which would be an indication of a distended crop.


Examine whether you treat the object of your interest as a person or a thing. Evaluate how secure you feel. Think about how long you've been in the relationship. Analyze the way that you're thinking about the other person. Look at how you handle conflict. Consider your feelings about moving the relationship forward.

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

When you experience infatuation, your mind is consumed by thoughts of the other person. You're thinking not only about the other person but also about how you want to reveal yourself to the other person. You have an idealized vision of what this person is like, and your vision may or may not be accurate. Instead of feeling secure, you are thinking more about how to impress the other person. Your focus is on how to get the other person to like you, and you feel nervous because you don't know how the other person feels. Your relationship is pretty new, and while you're constantly thinking about the other person, you're not confident that he or she has what it takes to go the distance. You think constantly about the way that the person smiles, the way he or she says your name or the way that your partner looks at you. You think obsessively about these details, and you try to decide how the person feels about you based on these somewhat trivial qualities. The person you like disagrees with you, and you wonder if the relationship is over. You wonder whether you know the person at all or whether your impressions have been wrong all along. You want to ask the person to date exclusively, but you're nervous about what he or she might say. You're afraid that asking for commitment may frighten the person away. Your feelings aren't deep enough for love; you're probably more in the realm of infatuation.


You care for this person even knowing his or her faults. You are committed to sticking together even through the most difficult circumstances. You can tell this person anything about yourself, even if the truth doesn't flatter you, and you know that your partner will accept you. There is no way to make a person love you, although actions do speak louder than words. If you are the one always giving and getting very little in return, you might consider asking a trusted friend or family member, one with your best interests at heart, what they see. Most of the time those on the outside are more likely to see things that you don't because love is blind. You know that your partner will stand by you no matter what, and you are prepared to commit to your partner for the rest of your life. You have known the person for a long time, and you can't imagine life without him or her. You want to know everything about the person and want to spend time getting to know them on a deeper level. Something funny has happened to you at work, and you can't wait to tell your partner. Alternatively, you've had a bad experience, and you want to talk to someone who will understand. If your partner is the first person that you think about when you want to share your innermost thoughts, then you may be in love. You have mutual respect for each other. When you have an argument with your partner, you keep working until you are able to find some common ground. No argument can erase your commitment to one another, and you appreciate your partner speaking the truth even when it's painful. Even if you don't agree with your partner you will always take their side and defend them in front of your family and friends. You feel comfortable with your partner, and you feel a strong bond of trust. They should feel like your partner, in that marriage or moving in together feels natural because life is better with them. Your family and friends should know all about the person, and you have the reflex to stand up and protect the person from any nay-sayers.


Examine your TV inputs. Obtain the correct cable. Place the PlayStation 2 near the TV or receiver. Connect the video cable to the back of the PlayStation 2. Connect the other end of the video cable to your TV. Connect the digital audio cable (optional). Connect the PlayStation 2 power cable. Connect an Ethernet cable (optional).

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

There are several ways that you can connect your PlayStation 2 to your TV or receiver, depending on the inputs available. Different inputs will provide different levels of image quality. Inputs are typically found on the back of the TV, though they may be found on the side or the front as well.   Composite/Stereo AV - This is the most common way to connect a PlayStation 2 to a TV, receiver, or VCR. Composite cables have three plugs: Yellow (Video) and Red and White (Audio). This cable comes packaged with all new PlayStation 2 models. Newer HDTVs may not support this connection.  Component/YCbCr - This is the best way to connect a PlayStation 2 to modern TVs, as most HDTVs have these inputs. Component cables also provide the best possible picture quality for the PlayStation 2. Component cables have five plugs: Red, Blue and Green (Video) and Red and White (Audio). Component cables do not come packaged with the PlayStation 2. If purchasing a component cable, make sure that it is PlayStation 2 compatible with the PlayStation 2 plug on one end.  S-Video - This input is not very common on newer TVs. It will provide a better picture than composite cables, but not as good as component cables. The S-Video plug is typically yellow and has pins instead of a standard AV plug. The PlayStation 2 S-Video cable has the S-Video plug as well as the Red and White audio plugs.  RF - This is the worst way to connect a PlayStation 2 to a TV or VCR, as it has the blurriest picture quality. RF connects through the TV or VCR's coaxial input (the same input you would use for an old cable box or antenna). Avoid this method of connection unless you have no other options. If you bought your PlayStation 2 new, there should be a composite cable packed in the box. If you need a different cable, you'll have to order it from Sony or buy one online at a store like Amazon. Make sure that you get the PlayStation 2 version of the cable you want to use, as the PlayStation 2 requires a special plug on one end of the cable. PlayStation 2 video...


Examine your amp. Place your delay and reverb effects in the amp's effects loop. Move volume and modulation into the effects loop.

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

Not all amps have an effects loop, but if yours does, you can experiment with placing some of your effects inside your amp's effects loop to give your guitar a richer, more nuanced tone. The effects loop is before the power amp section but after the preamp of your amplifier. You'll see "Effects Send" and "Effects Return" jacks. On some amps these may also be labeled "Preamp Out" and "Power Amp In." Most guitarists who use the effects loop to set up their guitar pedals put the time-based effects in the loop to avoid the washed out sound that can be produced if these effects are fed into the overdrive and distortion of the amp. This set-up can give you a clearer sound if your amp is generating sound that is overdriven or distorted. The sound from your amplifier's preamp section feeds into these effects. Placing modulation pedals in the effects loop will give you a different sound than if you run them through your signal chain directly from your guitar. Experiment with these and see if it suits your style. Moving the volume pedal inside the effects loop allows you to control the entire sound coming out of the amplifier.


Examine your body instead of your face. Visit a department store beauty counter for foundation samples. Test each shade.

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

Overtone – or surface shade – will determine how light or dark your foundation should be. People with darker skin tones tend to have lighter skin on their faces than on the rest of their bodies. When determining your skin’s surface shade, don’t inspect the color of your face alone. Your hands are also unreliable for shade matching. Instead, look at your body as a whole, especially the area from your chest to your jaw.  The goal when choosing a foundation shade is to unify the color of your face with the rest of your body. Make sure you are using natural lighting when examining your skin color. Properly identifying your skin’s surface shade will be a trial and error process. The best approach is to visit a local department store and pick up as many foundation samples and testers as you can. Be sure to grab a variety of different shades.  Once you get them all home, stand in front of a mirror under natural lighting to test them out. Make sure your skin is clean, moisturized and has no other makeup on it before you begin testing. Apply the makeup by drawing a line from your cheek down to your jawline. Do not blend it in. Wait about ten minutes and then examine the swatches. The ones that disappear smoothly into your skin are your best shade choices. Once you’ve narrowed it down, test those shades on your chest, as well, to make sure they disappear seamlessly there, too.  If you have oily skin, try a foundation that’s one shade lighter than what you were expecting. This is because oily skin creates the illusion of darker skin color.  If you’re having a hard time finding the right shade, consider mixing two shades together to create a customized tone.


Examine your book before checking it out. Report damage discovered later when you find it. Don't attempt to repair a damaged book yourself.

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

Skim through it and look for torn or missing pages, large stains, pen or pencil writing, doodles, etc. Check the covers for missing or defaced parts. If you find any of these, report it to one of the librarians. This way, they won't assume you damaged the book. Not all damage is obvious when you first skim through the book. Call the library if you find damage during operating hours. If the library has a special email address or online form to make reports, take advantage of it for damage found after hours. If all else fails, drop by the library in person as soon as possible to notify the staff. Return it to the library as soon as possible. Explain what happened and let the librarians take care of it. Libraries can repair books with better materials and methods than you can.


Examine your expectations. Reframe your expectations as necessary. Try again. Consider the big picture. Accept that relationships change.

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

Sometimes, people may have unrealistic expectations of a relationship. If you're feeling disappointed with someone a lot, look at your own expectations. Can you see where your expectations may not be particularly realistic?  Oftentimes, we may have expectations that seeped in from past relationships. For example, say your last girlfriend moved to a city to be with you. She did not have a lot of friends there and, as a result, hung out with you a lot. Your new girlfriend has been living in this city for a while. She may go out more and be less reliant on you for entertainment and socialization. If your expectation is that social events should always be done together, this may be a leftover expectation from your old relationship. It's not really reasonable, considering your new girlfriend's situation.  You may also have expectations that are unrealistic in other ways. For example, your girlfriend may give you a "maybe" if you ask her if she wants to hang out later. For you, a "maybe" might come off as a "probably" or "definitely." You may find yourself consistently disappointed when your girlfriend lets you know she can't make it that night. Maybe your expectations are unrealistic. Many people, especially people with busy schedules, may simply be unable to commit some days. You can start seeing a maybe as a maybe, and expect that you may have to find something else to do that night. If your expectations do seem unreasonable, work on reframing them. Sometimes, future disappointment is less likely if you learn to accept certain things about another person.  Let's return to our above example. Your new girlfriend is clearly more independent. She has her own life, her own career, and her own social circle. She may not be the type of person who needs a significant other to feel complete. In this case, try to reframe what you expect of a romantic relationship. In this relationship, you may not spend all your free time together. Your girlfriend may go out with just her friends a few times a week. Try to accept this is...


Examine your fears. Look at your play habits. Understand your interests.

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

Some of your childhood fears may indicate a predisposition for psychic ability. You might have medium abilities if:  You feared the dark. Often, children with psychic tendencies have a persisting fear of the dark that stems from an unconscious awareness of the supernatural. You also exhibited a persistent unwillingness to sleep in a room alone and may also have had vivid nightmares. If you don’t remember how you used to play as a child, ask your parents or guardians. You might have had some supernatural experiences disguised as play. Some of these experiences include: You had an imaginary friend. Often, adults label the spirits or supernatural being children interact with as “imaginary friends.” If you were extremely interested in religion or understanding meaning as a child, this could be an indication you had a psychic connection. If you showed tendencies toward psychic abilities early:  You asked guardians to take you to religious services or to tell you about different religious beliefs in detail. You engaged in play with objects like a Ouija board or tarot cards. You read children’s books centering around the spiritual or supernatural.


Examine your feelings. Figure out why. Trust yourself.

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

Write about your frustrations, or talk to a trustworthy friend. Perhaps you feel neglected, or frustrated, or insecure – or all of these things. Try to determine whether he is truly failing to keep up his end of the relationship agreement, or whether you are holding him up to unrealistic expectations. Think about how your feelings have changed over time, and consider whether this problem is symptomatic of any other problems in your relationship. Think about your relationship, and think back to all of the times you've seen your boyfriend recently. Try to understand why he isn't hanging out with you as much as you'd like. It can be much easier to find a solution once you fully understand what's wrong. Keep in mind that speculation will only take you so far. The best way to understand the problem is to ask your boyfriend about it.  Perhaps your boyfriend is very busy with work right now, or he's stressed out about another pressure in his life. He might not feel like he can relax and hang out right now. Be patient. Maybe your boyfriend isn't putting equal energy into your relationship. If you are always making time for him, but he never makes time for you: it might be time for a change. Don't let him take advantage of you.  Your boyfriend may be perfectly happy in the relationship, but completely unaware that you are feeling neglected. Try telling him how you feel and asking him to spend more time with you. There is nothing wrong with wanting to see more of someone that you care about – especially if you are "going out" and you've made a commitment to spend time with each other. Do not think of yourself as "needy" or "clingy" just because you want to hang out with your boyfriend. The important thing is that you both have the same expectations for the relationship.


Examine your home for entry points. Check the area for baby squirrels. Set up a one-way door at the main entry point. If your aim is to trap the squirrel, place a cage outside the door. Carefully remove the cage and close its door.

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

Look around the attic or the area where you've heard a squirrel scratching about and find out where it came in. If you find more than one hole, plug all but the main one, so that the squirrel has only one way to enter and exit. You'll set up the trap at this entry point.  Block the entry points by securing pieces of hardware cloth around the holes using a staple gun.     It's best to do this in mid-morning, when the squirrel will probably be outside finding food. If you can wait until the high heat of mid-summer to squirrel-proof your attic, you may not even have to set up a trap. Attics get too hot for squirrels at this time of year, so you can block all the entry points, including the main one, while the squirrels are away. Before you trap and release the squirrel, it's important to find out if there are babies in the picture. Mother squirrels commonly take shelter in attics when they're about to give birth, and chances are high that there's a nest somewhere in your walls or rafters. A typical squirrel nest will have 3-5 babies. If you trap the mother squirrel without handling the babies first, they'll die. Aside from being inhumane, leaving the babies to die will create a bad smell in your home.  If you've looked everywhere for the pup "squirrel" and you can't find them, feel carefully along the walls. When you come to a spot that feels much warmer than the rest of the wall, that's probably the nest. You're going to have to cut a hole there to remove the babies, then patch up the wall later. This takes some trouble, but it's a lot better than letting them die in the walls.     If you find babies, determine whether they are old enough to leave the nest and survive on their own. If they are still too young to walk, wait a few weeks before trapping the mother. Otherwise, the babies will starve in the nest. Start by securing a piece of hardware cloth to the inside wall of the main entry point, leaving a hole just large enough at the bottom for a squirrel to climb through. Bend the bottom of the hardware cloth...


Examine your home for signs of insect infestation.

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

If woodpeckers repeatedly make holes in your home, chances are they're doing so for good reason. Your home may be harboring an insect population, such as bees, ants, or termites, and providing an inviting atmosphere for woodpeckers. Taking action to remove the food your home is providing is the first step to getting rid of woodpeckers.  Go to your attic or the area of your house closest to where the woodpecker has been pecking. Look for dead insects lying on the windowsills and in corners. Check for bees' nests in the rafters. Look for loose, rotting wood both inside and outside the house. These are all signs of an insect infestation. If you see signs of an insect infestation, take measures to get it treated right away. Use a  natural method to get rid of the insects or call an exterminator to take care of the problem.


Examine your horse’s withers. Look at the horse’s topline. Look at the length of your horse’s back. Consider the horse’s age.

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

The withers of the horse is the high point above the shoulder blades along the back. There three general types of withers, which determine the length and rocker angle of the saddle.  Defined withers are recognizable by a definite high point, and then a gentle slope back to the croup. Most ‘regular’ or ‘medium’ saddles will fit this type of horse. Rounded withers occur when, just as it sounds, the withers are gently sloped and the horse has a more flat back. The withers are typically a bit more flat as well, requiring a wider saddle tree. The topline of the horse is the shape/curve of the back from the withers to the croup. The topline has four primary build types: level, straight, swayback, and downhill. Each build will require a different saddle build, or the use of special saddle pads.  A level topline can be recognized when a horse has withers and croup that are about the same height, and lacks a large dip between the two. Most regular saddles will fit this topline build. A straight back is most common in mules, but it sometimes seen in horses. Straight backs occur when the withers and croup are fairly low, and don’t have much of a dip between the two. From the side, their entire back will be almost level. This requires a special ‘straight’ saddle built with bars that lack much of a rocker angle. Swayback horses have incredibly prominent, narrow withers and a prominent croup. This typically occurs in horses that are poorly conditioned or that are very old, and makes it so that the saddle cannot sit flat against the back; it balances between the withers and croup. Special pads can be added to fix this problem. A downhill topline occurs when the croup of the horse is slightly higher than the withers, causing the saddle to tip forward. You can get a saddle adjusted with more flocking near the front to balance it out, or you can use special pads under the pommel/fork to force the saddle upright. A ‘regular’ saddle is built to fit a horse with an average length back. A special saddle is not needed for a horse...


Examine your level of fatigue. Determine whether you feel weak or dizzy. See a doctor immediately if you have severe symptoms.

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

This is the most common symptom of all types of anemia. To figure out whether your fatigue may be related to anemia, rather than being the result of a few nights with too little sleep, think about the following questions. If your answer is yes, you might have anemia.  Do you feel tired when you wake up in the morning, and throughout the rest of the day? Do you have trouble concentrating and doing well at work or school, because you are so tired? Do you lack the energy to accomplish basic tasks and chores, or does doing these activities seem to wipe you out? Fatigue can be related to a lot of different conditions, but when it comes along with weakness and dizziness, anemia is certainly something to consider. If you often have to take a seat because you feel too weak or dizzy to stand, you should get tested for anemia. Left untreated, anemia can lead to life-threatening conditions. It's important to make an appointment with your doctor if you experience any of these less common symptoms:  Numbness or coldness in your feet Pale skin Rapid or irregular heartbeat Shortness of breath Chest pain Very cold extremities regardless of temperature


Examine your medical history. Assess whether your age makes it likely that you have contracted strep throat. Figure out if your living situation increases your risk of strep throat. Assess whether you have any health risk factors that might make more susceptible to strep throat.

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

Some people seem to be more prone to developing strep infections than others.  If you have a history of strep infections, it is more likely that a new infection could also be strep. While 20%-30% of sore throats in children are due to strep throat, only 5%-15% of sore throat visits to the doctor by adults are due to strep throat. Elderly patients, as well as individuals with concurrent illness (such as the flu), are more susceptible to opportunistic infections. There is often a higher likelihood of strep throat when other family members have had strep throat in the past two weeks. Shared indoor living or play spaces such as schools, daycares, dormitories, and military barracks, are examples of environments that pose a potential for colonization of bacteria. While children are at higher risk for strep throat, babies under age 2 are much less likely to be infected with strep throat. However, they may not have the usual symptoms as older children and adults. They may have a fever, runny nose, or cough as well as a decreased appetite. Ask your doctor about your baby's risk of getting strep throat if you or another close contact has strep and they have a fever or other symptoms. Immunocompromised individuals, those with the decreased ability to fight off infection, may be more at risk. Other infections or illnesses can also increase the chances that you have strep.  Your immune system may be compromised simply due to fatigue.  States of extreme exertion or exercise (such as running a marathon) can also tax your body. As your body focuses on recovery, it’s ability to fight infection may be impeded. Simply put, an exhausted body is focused on recovery and may not be able to defend itself as efficiently. Smoking can cause damage to your protective mucosa in the mouth and allow for easier colonization of bacteria. Oral Sex can expose your oral cavity to be more directly exposed to bacteria. Diabetes decreases the ability of your body to fight infection.


Examine your nipples for signs of irritation. Rinse the area with water and a mild soap. Apply a lanolin cream to the affected area. Apply ice to help with pain. Take steps to avoid further chafing. Visit the doctor if the condition doesn't improve in a few days.

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

Friction from clothes rubbing against your skin is a common cause of nipple soreness. This is common among athletes, and the condition is often nicknamed "runner's nipple." If this is the case, you'll probably notice the following symptoms.  General pain or tenderness. Redness. Dryness. Cracks or fissures. Bleeding. Like with any skin injury, an abrasion on your nipple can cause an infection. To prevent this, wash the area carefully with mild soap and warm water. Dry thoroughly after.  When you dry your nipple, air drying is best. If necessary, pat it with a towel. Rubbing will increase the irritation and pain. Using an antiseptic like alcohol will probably make the inflammation worse. Lanolin is a product designed to protect the skin. It moisturizes the area, soothes pain, and heals cracks and abrasions. Creams with lanolin should be available at pharmacies and supermarkets. Alternatively, you could also apply petroleum jelly to the area. This will lock in moisture and prevent the area from rubbing against your clothes. If you're in pain from the chafing, you can apply an ice pack to relieve the area.  Whether you use a commercial cold pack or a bag of ice, be sure to wrap it in a towel. Ice applied directly to the skin can cause frostbite. Do not leave the ice on for longer than 20 minutes. This can damage the skin. If the area is still painful, allow the skin to warm up before reapplying the ice. Once you've treated your sore nipples, you can take steps to prevent future problems.  Wear a loose-fitting shirt during athletic activities. Also wear a shirt made from synthetic material instead of cotton, since cotton can be abrasive. Moisture-wicking materials will also keep sweat away from the area and help prevent chafing. Women should make sure to wear a sports bra that fits properly. A loose-fitting bra will allow too much movement and cause the nipples to rub against the bra. Apply Vaseline or petroleum jelly to your nipples. This will help protect the area and prevent chafing. Cover your nipples with a...


Examine your relationship for any thrill seeking behavior. Ask yourself if you have based the relationship in competition. Discover any issues with trust that you may have.

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

The hidden nature of your relationship may be what keeps one or both of you interested.  Sneaking around, keeping secrets and hiding the relationship can all be exhilarating and boost the attachment between the two of you. Understand that if you are interested in your boyfriend because of the thrill, an exclusive relationship with him will likely lose its appeal. Some women are highly competitive and this competitive nature can express itself in relationships as well.  Women who desire a married man may do so because they feel that they are a superior woman to the man's wife.  This can cause them to pursue the husband in order to prove to themselves and others that they are the “winner”. Some women may have difficulty trusting a man.  The appeal of seeing a married man is found in the fact that they can't be cheated on because they are the one doing the cheating.  Women who have a married boyfriend are also not likely to be restricted in who they themselves are allowed to see romantically.  A lack of trust can be the reason behind your relationship.


Examine your results. Seal the colored section with hairspray.

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

If the color is more intense than you like, rinse with cold water. It's important to use cold water, because hot water can strip the dye from your hair completely. If you don't think your hair dye is dark enough, you can do the process again until you achieve the desired effect. The great thing about this hair dying technique is that you can really tailor it to the look you want to create. You can rinse it easily to lighten the color, and you can do it repeatedly to darken a color without damaging your hair. Unlike regular hair dye, you can play around with this method until you've figured out what works for your hair. Style your colorful hair however you want. When you're finished, set the style with hairspray. This will both hold the style, but also sea and smooth the colored sections. Enjoy your fun new hair!


Examine your risk for anemia. Identify symptoms of anemia. See your doctor.

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

Anyone can develop iron-deficiency anemia, and roughly 20% of women (and 50% of pregnant women) and 3% of men are iron deficient. Some groups are also at a greater risk for developing anemia. These groups include:  Women (due to blood loss during monthly periods and childbirth). Those 65+, who are more likely to have low-iron diets. People on blood thinners such as aspirin, Plavix, Coumadin, or heparin. Those with kidney failure, especially if they are on dialysis because they have trouble making red blood cells. People who have trouble absorbing iron. People with low-iron diets (often vegans and vegetarians). The major symptoms of anemia include feeling tired, difficulty breathing, dizziness, headache, irritability, pale skin, trouble concentrating, and feeling cold.  Other signs may include rapid heartbeat, brittle nails, cracked lips, sore tongue, muscle pain during exercise, and trouble swallowing.  Babies and small children who are iron deficient may have delays in skills such as walking and talking, not grow as expected, and have short attention spans. If you are experiencing several of these symptoms—especially if you belong to one of the demographics with increased risk of anemia—then see your doctor for the proper tests to determine if iron-deficient anemia is the cause. It is important to see your doctor because he or she may have special instructions in addition to eating an iron-rich diet.


Examine your shrub for blooms to determine when you should trim it. Lay a tarp around the shrub you trim. Use 2 stakes as a guide while you level the shrub. Use your shears or a hedge trimmer to cut along the top. Keep the top narrower than the base.

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

For blooming shrubs, trim them in the winter when they're dormant to prevent stunting flower growth. You can trim non-flowering shrubs anytime except late autumn when any new growth the plant has after trimming won't have time to mature before it goes dormant.  If you're growing a hedge, trim it when the branches look overgrown until about 6 weeks before your area's usual first frost. Avoid doing extensive trimming when it is not your shrub's trimming season. Light trimming to keep it from looking overgrown is fine, but too much may damage your plant. This will make cleanup easier and catch any small branches or leaves that fall on the ground. If you're trimming multiple shrubs, clean the tarp off and move it around as you work through the different shrubs. Set up 2 stakes on each side of the shrub and tie a string between them. Keep the string taut and use it as the height that you'll trim the shrub to. If you want an especially precise measurement, use a level to position the strings to make sure they are even. If the shrub is small and close to your home or siding, you could also use either as a leveling guide as you cut. Avoid cutting below the guideline to keep your leveling job even. When you've finished trimming along the top, examine your work. Check for and cut away any remaining branches that seem out of place. A hedge trimmer is ideal for cutting the shrub's height because running it over the top will give you a smoother finish. The base of your shrub should be the widest part of the plant. Examine the shrub after you have made the top even. If your shrub seems top-heavy, use your shears or hedge trimmer to make it thinner.


Examine yourself after playing paintball. Stay sober when playing paintball. Make sure the terrain is safe. Use protective gear.

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

The sooner you treat a paintball welt, the better. After you finish playing paintball, examine your body for any signs of wounds or injuries. Clean them and begin icing as soon as possible. You should not be under the influence of alcohol or any other mind altering drugs while playing paintball. This can lower your inhibitions and overall coordination, increasing the likelihood of accidents. You may also use poor judgment when inebriated, neglecting to use proper safety equipment. Solid ground is important to prevent injury during paintball. Make sure the area where you're playing is safe.  Do not play paintball if it's rained recently as wet terrain can be dangerous. Choose flat, open terrain over wooded areas with lots of hills and cliffs. Paintballs are hard and can cause serious injury without proper padding. Paintball padding should over your arms, legs, hands, feet, chest, face, and eyes. While you may still experience some welts and bruises with padding, protection can prevent serious injury.


Excavate the area. Grade the ground at the bottom of the hole. Frame the walls with steel supports. Install all necessary plumbing fixtures. Wire the pool for electricity.

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

Once you’ve hired a certified pool contractor, they’ll begin by marking off and digging up the ground on the site you’ve selected. To do this, they may need to use a backhoe and other heavy machinery. Excavation is one of the most important parts of the building process, as proper installation of other the pool’s other components depends on it being done right.  The building crew make ask for your help making your property accessible to their equipment. It’s critical that you have your residential building permit on file at this point. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging or unearthing utility lines you didn't know about. Once the site has been excavated, the next step is to even out what will become the floor of the pool as much as possible. This will involve covering the bottom surface with a thick layer of washed gravel subsoil, which is then raked and compressed until it’s perfectly level. There are a few different ways to grade a swimming pool. Some pools have flat bottoms, while others are built with sloping floors that establish a deep end and a shallow end. Be sure to tell your contractor which style you have in mind. With the ground dug up and the bottom surface graded, you’re now ready to begin forming the sides of the pool. The building crew will go around the circumference of the hole setting metal rebar and wooden boards. These materials are used to create shape and provide support.  Like the floor, it’s important that the walls of your new pool be flat, level, and in alignment with one another. It may be necessary to hire a separate steel subcontractor to frame the walls of your pool if your building contractor isn’t licensed or equipped to do so. At this point, you’ll need to bring in a licensed plumbing expert to set up the pool’s water circulation and filtration systems. This will include components like the drain, skimmers, 2- and 3-way valves, and the main pump that are responsible for filling, emptying, and moving water throughout the pool.  Be sure to hire someone with extensive...


Exchange town fruits with friends and plant them in your own town. Shake every tree in your town. Sell your stockpile of furniture that you don't need to Tom Nook. Catch bugs (bad in winter) and fish (good in rain) to sell to Tom Nook. Run past villagers in your town. Put bells in your bank account at the Town Hall. Sell fossils that you will find buried in your town. Sell all your junk/fish/bugs at the flea market for double the price that Nook would give you for them. Check the money rock.

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

(Each sells for 500 Bells.) Some will drop 100 Bell bags (and two will contain furniture that can be sold). Some trees might contain bees, so be careful. If you see any bees, run into a nearby building or else they will sting your eye. (And your animal friends will talk about it a lot.) Or, catch them to sell for 4,500 Bells each.  See methods below for more details. Talk to them if they run up to you (sometimes they will give you furniture to sell). Leave invested for 10% interest every month. Get them checked by Blathers first and you can sell them, if they are not already at the museum. To double your money, sell them at the flea market.  Every day there is a rock to bang and money comes out. Try another rock until one of the rocks makes a sound and Bells pop out (This will happen to only one random rock each day.) The amount may vary. To do this, simply dig a few holes behind your character since when you hit the rock your character will bounce back causing less bells to come out of the rock. Continuously hit the rock until it makes a little twinkle sound. To get the maximum of Bells, try to dig as few holes as possible behind your character and use a silver shovel when hitting the money rock.


Exchange your old clothing for new clothing at resale stores. Sell your clothing at resale stores. Donate your clothing to thrift stores or charities. Make your old clothing new again. Have a clothing swap party with friends.

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

This is a great way to get rid of some of the clothing you no longer wear and replace it with new pieces that you love. You'll typically get a higher trade value than cash for your clothing. Popular resale stores include Buffalo Exchange, Crossroads, and Plato's Closet. They all have different policies and are looking for different types of clothing. Just because one store doesn't want your clothing doesn't mean all of the stores won't want it. If you have designer clothes or any other clothes or accessories (sunglasses, shoes, scarves, hats, etc.) that you think could yield a profit, resell them. This will clean out your closet and earn you money to buy new clothes. These stores are more expensive than thrift stores, but still much cheaper than retail. You'll typically get a higher trade value than cash for your clothing.  There are online resale stores as well. With these stores, you'll be able to sell or trade your clothes with other users. Some of these include Poshmark, Twice, and Thredup.  Selling your clothes on Ebay or Craigslist is also an option to consider. This is only recommended if your clothing is designer-made and in good quality. If you have a lot of stuff to sell with along with your clothes, you could also consider a yard sale. Get a few friends together and see if they want to do a yard sale together. Charity is a great way to discard your old clothes (and can usually be used as a tax write-off). You'll be able to clean out your closet to make room for newer purchases. Some thrift stores offer exchanges for donations as well, so be sure to ask when you are donating your clothing. If you're skilled with a needle and thread – or even a pair of scissors – repurpose your old clothing. If you have pants that fit great in the waist but have become too short in the leg, cut them into shorts! There are even ways to turn old sweaters into purses. Look online for tutorials on how to repurpose your old clothing. You should be able to find creative ideas and step-by-step instructions. Pinterest is a...


Exchange your unused baby clothes. Take gently used baby clothes to resale shops. Join swap communities.

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

Babies come in all shapes and sizes, and they all grow at completely different paces. Some infants skip the newborn size altogether, and some outgrow their clothes faster than others. Moreover, you may receive an excessive amount of clothes in one size, only to find that your baby cannot cycle through all those clothes before outgrowing them. You might be able to exchange clothes that your baby never wore for clothes in larger sizes. Keep tags on gifted clothes until they are used and ask gift-givers for a gift-receipt when they give you baby clothes. Resale shops specialize in buying items that are in good condition and selling them to others at lower-than-new prices. Many of these stores will give you the option of selling for either cash or store credit, and store credit is often a higher amount than you might receive in cash. You can drop your baby’s old, outgrown clothes off and pick some new clothes up for free. In recent years, several national chain shops have opened that focus their efforts on reselling children's clothes and other kids' items. Look online to find your local branches of these national chains, as well as independent shops that specialize in children's resale. Online swap communities allow you to exchange items you have for items you need. Oftentimes, you have to worry about shipping and receiving those items without a third party stepping in, but many swap communities give you the option of searching for exchanges in your local area so that you can make the swap in person. There are many swap sites specifically for baby clothing and items. Some of the best swap sites for baby items include:  MoxieJean.com (newborn to size 8) ThredUP.com (kids, juniors, and women) FlipSize.com (newborn to size 8, plus kids' shoes up to size 3) SwapMamas.com (clothing and goods)


Exclaim "¡arriba! Declare "ya amaneció" (yah ah-mahn-ay-cee-OH). Ask "¿Cómo amaneció usted? Use "que tengas buen día" (kay tehn-GAHS boo-EHN DEE-ah) as you're leaving. Ask someone how they slept.

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

" The greeting "¡arriba!" (ah-RREE-bah – don't forget to roll the "rr") literally means "up!" It is often used in the morning to greet a sleeping child or loved one and tell them to get out of bed. This greeting is similar to saying "rise and shine" in English. If you want to rouse someone out of bed when they are still asleep, you might use this phrase. A literal translation of this phrase is "already dawn." The idea behind this phrase is that the day has started without whoever is still sleeping, and it's past time for them to get up. Some people might consider this phrase rude, so don't use it with someone unless you're close to them. " If you're looking for a polite way to ask someone how their morning has been, you might use "¿Cómo amaneció usted?" (KOH-moh ah-mahn-ay-cee-OH OOH-stehd), which means "How is your morning?"  Literally, this question would be translated "How dawned you?" It's similar to asking someone how they felt when they woke up this morning. You also might say "¿Qué tal va tu mañana?" (kay tahl vah too mahn-YAHN-ah), or "How is your morning going?" This question typically works best mid-morning. Although in Spanish you can use the phrase "buenos días" both coming and going, you can also use this phrase, which means "have a good day."  You also could say "que tengas un lindo día" (kay tehn-GAHS boo-EHN DEE-ah), which means "have a nice day." This phrase is typically used more casually. In more formal settings, you might use "que tenga buen día" (kay tehn-GAH boo-EHN DEE-ah), which means "I hope you have a good day." In Spanish, as in English, it's common to ask close friends or family members how they slept the night before, particularly early in the morning. The formal way to say this is "¿Durmió bien?" (door-mee-OH bee-EHN), or "Did you sleep well?" The question "¿Descansaste bien?" (days-cahn-SAHS-tay bee-EHN) is a little more casual. It's better translated as "Did you rest?" or "Did you get some rest?"


Excuse yourself plainly. Make a counter-offer. Suggest a retry later. Use humility. Handle problem requests with bluntness.

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

The most basic way of saying no without ruining anyone else's day is to clearly and plainly say “no,” followed by a brief, succinct reason why you said no. Contrary to popular belief, there's no need to lie or make up an excuse if you don't feel yours is good enough – remember, everyone has felt the same way you do right now. If you just don't feel like granting a request, that's all the excuse you need. No specific, concrete, or logical reason is required.  For example, if someone asks you on a date and you aren't interested, the right thing to do is to simply say “No; I'm sorry but I'm not interested in you in that way.” That's all the other person needs to know to understand he or she has no further chance. There's no need to make up excuses that will only string the other person along; there's no need to be insulting and rude to drive him or her away. Chances are, if your honest reason seems silly or practically nonexistent – for example, “I was really hoping to go home and take a nap;” “I just don't feel like it” – the other person will, in fact, understand completely. If he or she doesn't, just remember: managing his or her reaction isn't your responsibility. As long as you've been civil, that's all you can do. This is the technique you should try to use most often. Your honesty and forthrightness will actually improve your reputation over time, rather than damage it. If you've had trouble saying no to things like peer pressure in the past, you'll be amazed at how little it actually bothers most people when you simply tell them you won't go along with something because you aren't comfortable with it. Sometimes, you've got to say no for your own good, but that doesn't mean you aren't interested. For instance, let's say you work all weekend, but a friend has asked you to help her move into a new apartment on Saturday. If you'd like to participate but you can't, make another offer, with terms you can manage. Suggest spending less time helping out, or offer to do something else in a similar vein when you...


Excuse yourself. Ask for directions to the bathroom if you don't know where it is. Choose the bathroom with the most privacy. Check for toilet paper. Lock the door. Try to squat. Use your phone as a distraction. Keep breathing. Lightly push down on your abdomen.

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

The only excuse you need is a simple, "Excuse me." You don't have to make up an excuse; everyone uses the bathroom. This is nothing to be embarrassed about either. Everyone uses the bathroom. This might involve a little searching, and if you don't think you have time, obviously go for the first one you see. If you are at a friend's house you might use the upstairs bathroom. In a mall, you might choose the restroom furthest from the major departments stores. Before you even sit down in a stall, or any bathroom for that matter, check to make sure there is toilet paper.  If there isn't any ask the manager of the restaurant or the homeowner to bring you some. If you are in an office building you may need ask at reception or locate a member of the janitorial staff. Either the stall or the door to the bathroom itself should have a lock on it. Locking the door will help relieve some of the anxiety you might have and will ensure your privacy. If you can, put your feet up on a small trash bin. Squatting will allow you to pass your waste more quickly and with less effort, minimizing the amount of time you spend in the bathroom. Sometimes thinking about it too much can make defecating even more stressful. If you have a cell phone, playing a game or doing a little reading on the internet can help you relax. When defecating in public you’ll want to get in and out as quickly as you can. Be wary of spending so much time on your phone that it distracts you from the task at hand. Once you are in the bathroom, don't forget to continue to take deep breathes. This will help your body relax. If you are still having trouble going, place your hand on your abdomen and lightly push down. You might want to slightly lean forward while you do this.


Execute jumping jacks. Get in a run. Go for a waterless swim. Do toe taps.

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

Sit up with a straight back. Bend your knees and keep them together. Your toes should just touch the floor. Open your legs and extend your arms overhead simultaneously. Keep doing this movement quickly for 30 reps. This exercise can build your endurance and get your blood flowing, which may help you think better. Do these exercises with just your legs if you need to type. Extend your legs and point your toes. Bend your arms at your sides or keep them on the keyboard. Engage your core muscles and lean back slightly until your shoulder blades just graze the back of the chair. Then lift your legs slightly in front of you and bend your left knee toward your chest. Angle your right shoulder towards your left knee. Quickly change to the to the other side for 30 alternating reps. This kind of running can build your cardiovascular fitness and strength. Engage your core muscles and tilt yourself back at the waist. Your legs hang over the side of your chair. Kick them in a fluttering motion for 30-50 reps. This can increase your endurance and strengthen your leg muscles and abs. You can also try flutter-kicking your arms, either along with your legs or separately. Do this above your head or in front of your body. Stand facing the front of your chair. Lift up your right arm up and tap the chair with your left toe at the same time. Alternate sides quickly for 45 to 60 seconds. This targets your cardiovascular system and can strengthen your legs, abs, and arms.


Execute your organization’s first project. Delegate responsibilities to other members in your group. Monitor results carefully and celebrate fellow volunteers.

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

Start with something small and obtainable, like cleaning a section of roadway or creating a petition. You’ll want your first project to be something you can celebrate, so don’t get too ambitious at the beginning. If you start with a massive project, you could also overwhelm your first round of volunteers, which could scare them away in the future.  Be open to input from the members of your group. If they can’t get behind your idea, you’ll have a hard time convincing anyone to show up. Keep volunteers engaged by communicating often and finding something fun about your project. If you can listen to music while you work, consider bringing some speakers and playing some fun background tunes.  Have volunteers sign in by bringing a blank contact form so that you can reach out to active volunteers in the future. Since they’re not being paid, it can often be hard to incentivize volunteers to take on additional work. Choose members that enjoy socializing for tasks that involve interacting with people. If there is someone in your group that loves to draw or paint, ask them to create your logo. A successful volunteer group requires a lot of effort, but if you can get your members to contribute in ways that interest them, you’ll develop group loyalty and make the organization feel more like a family. Ask people about what motivates them directly. You may be able to delegate a lot of responsibilities to members that care deeply about your group’s mission. Discuss how things are going with fellow members to generate a growth plan. Be open to input from other members of your group when considering how effective a project has been. Make it a point to applaud your group’s efforts and celebrate them whenever you can. This will keep your volunteers returning to events and meetings! Keep a record of your work and growth by saving important events in a calendar. You can use a physical or digital calendar, but you’ll want to track events and membership in order to change your group’s direction in the future.


Exercise Drink a cup of green tea before you start memorizing. Create an environment that is free from distractions. Plan to memorize in the afternoon rather than in the morning or evening. Get a good night of sleep

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

regularly to boost your memory and cognitive function. Try to exercise for 30 minutes on at least 5 days each week to keep your mind sharp. You can also try working out right before you start memorizing for extra brain-boosting benefits.  You don't have to get in a long workout to reap the benefits of exercise for better memorization. Even taking a 15-minute walk before you start studying can help.  Doing 20 minutes of yoga before working on memorizing something is another great way to boost your brain function. Green tea has been show to boost cognitive function more than other types of beverages. Make yourself a cup of regular or decaf green tea and sip it before or during your study session. The extra boost of caffeine in regular green tea may also be helpful. You can drink green tea hot or iced. Avoid multitasking while you memorize, such as checking your social media accounts or texting friends. This will interfere with your ability to focus on the task at hand. Put away your phone, turn off the TV, and ask members of your household not to disturb you while you are studying. If you have trouble staying focused, try setting small goals and rewarding yourself with a short break each time you meet one of them. For example, you could make it your goal to focus on studying for 25 minutes, and then reward yourself with a 5 minute break. Afternoon may be the time when you feel the least alert, but it has also been shown to be a potent time to work on memorizing new information. If you have been struggling to remember the material you are studying, try memorizing it in the afternoon instead of in the morning or at night. For example, you could work on memorizing at around 2 or 3 pm. before you start memorizing. Being well-rested has a far-reaching impact on your ability to memorize. To give yourself the best possible chance of retaining information, go to bed early enough to get a full 8 hours of sleep.  Try going to bed a little earlier than you normally do, such as 10:00 pm if you normally got to bed at 10:30...
