Make a chain Double crochet into the second chain from the hook. Double crochet to the end of the chain. Keep working rows until the top is the length you want it to be. Work the first 7 stitches in double crochet to form a strap. Make a second strap on the opposite side of the top piece. Create a second piece that is identical to the front piece. Connect the front and back at the straps.

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

that is wide enough for the person who will wear the dress. The length of your chain is dependent upon the person who will wear the dress. You will be making the top part of the dress in 2 parts (front and back pieces), so measure for the front of the dress first. Use a t-shirt in the size that the person wears to determine how wide the chain will need to be. Make the chain long enough to go across the chest area of the t-shirt, just below the armpits. To crochet a chain, first make a slipknot. Loop the yarn around your fingers twice and pull the first loop through the second loop. Then, slide the slipknot onto your hook, and tighten it by tugging on the tail until it is snug around the hook. Then, loop your yarn over your hook and pull the yarn through the slipknot. This is your first chain. Keep yarning over and pulling through one to make more chains. After you have finished your chain, start by double crocheting into the first chain from the hook. Chain 1 to provide some slack and then double crochet 1 time into the chain.  To double crochet, loop the yarn over the hook, and then insert the hook into the chain. Yarn over the hook again and pull through the stitch. Then, yarn over again and pull through 2 stitches. Yarn over 1 more time and pull through the last 2 stitches on the hook. This completes 1 double crochet stitch. Continue to double crochet into each stitch in the chain until you reach the end of the chain. This will serve as your foundation row. After you complete the first row, chain 1 and then double crochet across the next row. Continue to work each row in the double crochet stitch until the front piece is the length you want it to be. You can make it just long enough to cover the chest, or you can make it long enough to cover the entire abdomen from chest to waist. After you are satisfied with the length of the front piece, you will need to add the straps. Double crochet the first 7 stitches at the beginning of the row. Then, chain 1, turn your work, and double crochet across the 7...

Make a character profile.

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

While you can opt to create the whole character out of soap, you can also emphasize the head and upper torso. Similar to the flower, you won’t have to start by cutting away the soap. Instead, start in the center and create an outline. You can scrape away layers on the top surface outside the outline to make this profile picture stand out more. Etch details with a sharp tool. Since the face and upper body are enlarged, you have more of an opportunity to emphasize a character through precise details, such as lines for the hair, lips, and clothing.


Make a cherry topping for your kolaches. Prepare a blueberry topping. Create a sweet apricot topping. Explore the dozens of other topping options.

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

Mix the sugar, cornstarch, and cherry juice in a saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to stir until everything is thoroughly mixed. Put the saucepan on the stove and set it to medium heat. Once the mixture starts boiling and thickening up, turn off the heat and add the pitted cherries. Mix the sugar, cornstarch, salt, blueberries, and lemon juice together in a saucepan. Turn the stovetop to medium heat to warm the mixture while continuously stirring. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat on your stovetop down and let the mixture simmer for about ten minutes. The final product should be fairly thick. This one will take a bit longer than the cherry and blueberry toppings. You’ll need to simmer the dried apricots and the orange juice in a saucepan for about half an hour, or until soft. Then, drain the orange juice and put the tender apricots into a food processor to puree with sugar and lemon juice. Once the mixture is nice and smooth, it’s all set. While a fruit topping is the traditional topping, it is certainly not the only one you can make. Other common variations are poppyseed and cream cheese kolaches. You can even make savory kolaches with different types of breakfast meats. Don’t be afraid to get creative!


Make a chocolate malt. Make a chocolate shake. Make a strawberry shake. Make a cookies-and-cream-flavored shake. Make a milkshake with your favorite candy. Make a salted caramel pretzel and chocolate chip shake. Make a banana cream pie shake.

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

Add 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, and 1 oz (30 ml) malt powder to the blender. Look for malt powder, not instant malted milk or liquid malt flavoring. Malt powder provides the most authentic taste. Add 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and about 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of chocolate syrup to the blender. Look for a chocolate sauce with a high cocoa unit for the best flavor. Use 1 cup hulled strawberries or 2 oz strawberry syrup, plus 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add 3 cookies of your choice (crumble them up a little in your hand first) to a blender with 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Make a basic shake with 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Before blending, add a handful of your favorite candy or a candy bar cut into small pieces. Add squirt of caramel and a handful of crumbled pretzels and chocolate chips to a basic malt recipe of 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Put 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 banana and 1/2 packet of vanilla pudding mix into a blender.


Make a circle with a rounded rectangle for the dragon’s head and snout. Sketch in the dragon’s neck coming out from the other side of the head. Draw a horizontal line and triangles to give your dragon a mouth and teeth. Add a circle or oval above the mouth for your dragon’s eye. Draw antlers or horns on top of your dragon’s head. Sketch in ears underneath the antlers. Give your dragon a beard and mane. Erase the guide lines that aren’t a part of your dragon’s head. Add nostrils and whiskers to the snout. Finished.

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

Start by making a circle in the middle of your piece of paper so you have room to add features on each side. Choose the right or left side of the circle to put the snout depending on what direction you want the dragon to face. Start the rectangle halfway down from the top of the circle and connect the bottom edge to the lowest point of the circle.  You can choose to make the dragon’s snout thicker if you want. When you’re finished, your dragon head will be in profile view. Sketch your lines lightly at first so you can easily erase them later on. Otherwise, you’ll leave marks on the paper that you can’t get rid of. Start a line at the point where the bottom of the snout touches the circle. Curve the line slightly down so it looks like it extends off of the page. Draw the top of the neck coming from the top side of the circle so it’s parallel with the first line you drew.  While you don’t have to draw the neck for your dragon, it adds to the illusion that the head is connected to a body. Chinese dragons have long, snake-like bodies, so the neck will stay the same thickness the entire time. Start the line for the mouth so it’s a third of the way up from the bottom of the rectangle. Make a slightly curved horizontal line that ends near the middle of the dragon’s head. Draw small triangles coming out from the top or bottom of the line to give the dragon sharp teeth.  Give your dragon a smile if you want it to look happy or a frown if you want it to appear more fierce. Only add a few teeth to the mouth so the drawing doesn’t look messy. Place the eye for your dragon inside the circle so it’s next to where the top of the snout connects to the head. Make a circle or a horizontal oval for the eye so there’s a small gap between it and the top of the head. Add an angled line above the eye to give your dragon an angry brow.  The dragon’s pupil can be round like a human, or you can make it look like a slit, similar to a snake or cat. Don’t make the eye too large or else the dragon will look unnatural and you won’t have...


Make a clarifying shampoo with baking soda to prevent neck and back acne.

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

Clarifying shampoos help remove dirt and product build-up from hair that can cause breakouts on your neck and back. To make a clarifying shampoo with baking soda, add 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of baking soda to a bottle of shampoo. Then, wash your hair like you normally would.  Remember to rinse your hair thoroughly so the baking soda shampoo doesn’t dry out your scalp. Use your baking soda clarifying shampoo once a month.


Make a cleaning solution with cool water and dish soap. Use a toothbrush to scrub the bag. Wipe down with a wet cloth. Blot the bag dry.

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

To make a homemade cleaning solution, mix cool water with a few squirts of dish soap. How much you need will depend on if you're cleaning a whole bag or just an isolated stain.  For a few small stains, use a cup (8 ounces) of water and about an ounce of dishwasher soap. You can double or triple this amount for a whole bag. Don't use hot water when mixing a homemade solution. Hot water will set the stain and make it harder to get out. Dip a toothbrush into your cleaning solution. Then, with your hand holding the bag from the other side, scrub small areas of the bag at a time. You should move the brush in a circular motion to bring up any dirt or stains.  You should create a bit of a lather as you do this. If you there are stains on your bag, use the same procedure, but scrub a little longer. How long you have to scrub will depend on the size of the stain, but you should scrub for at least a minute. Once you're done scrubbing the stain, wipe down the area you cleaned with a cloth dipped in clear water. You may need to repeat this step more than once to get all of the soap off the nylon. Nylon is pretty water-resistant, so you should be able to blot the bag dry. If your bag has cloth straps, they'll take longer to dry.


Make a cleanser. Wash your face. Prepare a simple scrub. Massage the scrub onto your face for 1 to 2 minutes. Rinse the scrub off with cool water.

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

Mix together ¼ cup (60 milliliters) aloe vera gel, ¼ cup (90 grams) honey, and 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of extra virgin olive oil or jojoba oil. This will give you a moisturizing, hydrating, and antibacterial cleanser. Pour the cleanser into a jar. Store any leftovers in the fridge.  You can use simple rose water, or a store-bought cleanser.  You can also make a simple cleanser using 2 teaspoons of aloe vera gel and 1 teaspoon of glycerin instead. Gently massage the cleanser into you skin for 1 to 2 minutes. Don't forget about your neck! Rinse the cleanser off when you are done, then gently pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel. Store any leftover cleanser in a sealed jar in the fridge. Mix together ¼ cup (50 grams) of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of extra virgin olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel. If you have sensitive or dry skin, try ground oatmeal instead of brown sugar.  For a more complex, skin brightening scrub, mix together: 4 teaspoons milk, 1 teaspoon rice flour, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel.  Avoid using white or granulated sugar. The granules are larger than brown sugar and much too harsh for the delicate skin on the face. Dampen your face first with water. Massage the scrub onto your face using gentle, circular motions. Keep massaging for 1 to 2 minutes. Take care to avoid the sensitive skin around the eyes. Gently pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel. You are now ready for the next step in your facial!


Make a clenched fist. Practice drawing a hand holding an object. Draw a relaxed hand hanging down at someone’s side. Draw different gestures to become an anime-hand expert.

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

Decide if you want to draw a fist viewed from the side, the top, or the bottom. Sketch a rounded rectangle for the palm first, then draw circles where the knuckle for each finger rests on the palm. From there, sketch the shape of each finger so it mimics how it lays on the palm in real life. Keep in mind that fingers often lie flush against each other when you make a fist, so don’t add space between them. Remember to go back in and erase the circles and interior lines once you’re done so that the hand looks as seamless as possible. In anime, it’s common for characters to be holding swords, weapons, or other objects, so it’s safe to say at some point you’ll want to be able to draw this. It may take a little extra practice, but once you get the hang of this technique, you’ll feel confident in your drawing abilities! To draw a hand holding something:  Draw the shape of a palm by making a rounded rectangle. Sketch the fingers and thumb as if you were drawing a closed fist. Add the actual object extending from either side of the fist (it’s okay if you draw over the fingers—you can always erase those lines later). Clean up your sketch by erasing knuckle circles and extra lines and add more definitive pencil strokes to outline the hand and object. Start by sketching a rounded rectangle to represent the side of the palm. Draw a second smaller rounded rectangle that overlaps the first one to create the base for the thumb. Sketch the thumb and pointer finger; make the tip of the thumb end opposite of the pointer finger’s middle knuckle. Add the tips of the middle, ring, and pinky fingers behind the pointer finger by drawing curved lines that extend toward the thumb.  You can do this by practicing drawing the hand on its own, or draw an anime character and practice sketching the hand from there. When the hand is in a naturally relaxed position, you should see 3 or 4 fingers from the side, though just parts of each finger. Study pictures of hands in this position to get a sense of what looks more natural. Start by...


Make a cluster map around a topic or theme. Create a list of writing ideas. Talk to others about your writing ideas.

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

If you are struggling to get started on an essay or paper, use a cluster map. Write down the main topic or theme of your paper. Then, cluster ideas and thoughts around the topic or theme. Circle each idea and draw a line from the idea to the main topic. Put down as many ideas as you can think of around the topic or theme. Then, read it over and pick ideas that you find inspiring to start your paper. For example, if you are writing about the theme of loss in a novel, you may write down character names and scenes in the novel that illustrate this theme, clustering them around “loss.” You can also brainstorm by making a list of possible ideas for your writing. Include bad ideas as well as good ideas. A big part of brainstorming is letting ideas flow without judgement. Once you have made the list, you can read it over and see if any ideas stand out to you or inspire you. For example, if you are writing a position paper for a class, you may make a list of possible positions on an issue you can take for your paper. Sometimes, brainstorming with others can be more effective than doing it on your own. Talk to others around you about your writing ideas and see what they have to say. Tell them what you are thinking about writing and ask them for feedback or guidance. Often, chatting with others about your ideas can force you to verbalize them and think them through out loud. For example, you may speak to a peer about your ideas for an essay for class. Or you may talk to a writing professor about your thoughts for a short story.


Make a comfortable bedroom space. Have a fixed time for bed. Shift into bedtime mode. Follow a soothing bedtime ritual. Massage yourself with essential oils. Take a sleep aid. Go to the bathroom. Use full body relaxation. Get into bed no matter what.

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

If your bedroom isn’t comfortable, you likely won’t want or be able to sleep. Keeping the environment comfortable can help you fall asleep quickly and get a good night’s sleep.  Keep the temperature between 60–75°F (15.5–23.9°C). In addition, open a window or run a fan to help cool and ventilate your room.   Remove computers, TV and any work from your room. This could stimulate and stress you.  Get rid of anything that emits significant light or noise.  You may be able to fall asleep more easily if you have a comfortable mattress, pillows, and bedding. Make sure your mattress isn’t too old and that your sheets are clean and not too tightly tucked into your bed. On most days, including weekends, you should have the same bedtime. This helps regulate your circadian rhythms, or body clock, and can make it easier to fall and stay asleep.  Figure out a reasonable bedtime based on factors such as exercise and diet. Your body usually needs two to three hours to shift into bedtime mode following heavy or vigorous activities.  The best way to regulate your circadian rhythms is by going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day.  Stick to this schedule as much as possible and adjust it if necessary. After a long day of activities, your body requires some time to calm down. Winding down at least an hour before your fixed bedtime can help you relax and fall asleep.  Don’t use electronics or devices for at least an hour before your bedtime. Their light, images, and content can stimulate your brain, making it hard to fall asleep.  Turn down the lights around the house. Light keeps you from being able to fully relax and a darker room can make you drowsy and signal your brain and body that it’s time sleep. The final element of your evening wind-down should be following a ritual just before bed. You can do any activities that help relax and prepare you to get into bed.  A bedtime routine promotes relaxation and can help you fall asleep more quickly. It may also reduce anxiety that can cause insomnia.  Choose a form of...


Make a company-wide email inclusive. Keep a positive tone. Keep the email brief and to the point. Include your contact details, if you want. Review your message before sending. Talk to close friends in person.

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

If you bid farewell on a general level to your department or the entire company, and it would be too difficult or complicated to do it door-to-door, graciously thank everyone in the organization. You should include people you didn't really know that well in order to foster a sense of company pride. An email may include something like: Dear coworkers: As you may have heard, I will be leaving my position as (your position) tomorrow. I just wanted to say that it has been a pleasure working with all of you. I would love to stay in contact and can be reached at (your email) or on my LinkedIn profile. Cheers to the great times we have had working together. Sincerely, (Your Name). You might be tempted to openly write about the bitter times, particularly if you were fired. However, it is advised that you keep a positive tone in order to present yourself in the best possible light. Being positive will also make it more likely that you will be able to network with your coworkers in the future. It is always wise to end on a happy note so try to be as positive about your  experience at the company as possible. This is especially important if you are sending this email to your boss. It should not be a long essay, but a few sentences. There is no need to disclose the actual reason for your leaving at length. If people have questions, you might encourage them to contact you directly or in person. Only mention that you are moving forward and have decided to try your hand at another career. Your goodbye email can end with your contact details. Clearly mention your mobile number, email address and Linkedin ID through which you can keep in contact with your coworkers. However, do not share your personal contact information if you are not comfortable doing so. You could also consider selecting only a few coworkers to share your information with. An email can be an easy way of getting everyone on the same thread and sharing info together, to make sure you'll all be able to get together in the future. Once you have finalized your...


Make a cookie sandwich. Make a cookie ice cream cake. Create a cookie pizza.

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

Bake your favorite basic cookies and allow them to cool. Flip over half the cookies so the tops are facing down and the bottoms up. Cover the cookie bottoms with your favorite filling, then place another cookie on top with the top facing up. Popular filling choices include:  A one-inch layer of ice cream A thin layer of icing A thin layer of peanut butter and jam Whipped cream Fruit compote Take a fresh batch of cookie dough and press it into the bottom of a greased nine-inch (23 cm) pie plate. In a 350 F (176.7 C) oven, bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough becomes golden brown. Allow to cool. When the cookie base has cooled, add enough of your favorite ice cream to fill the rest of the pie dish. Pack the ice cream down. Cut into slices and serve as is, or top with whipped cream or chocolate sauce. Whip up a fresh batch of cookie dough. Grease a large, round baking sheet, and spread the dough out evenly over the baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool.  Spread a thin layer of your favorite dessert sauce over top of the cookie, such as chocolate hazelnut spread, caramel sauce, nut butter, or marshmallow spread. Top that with your favorite candy toppings, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, marshmallows, coconut shreds, and other candies.  Cut into pizza slices and serve.


Make a cool compress of milk, water, and ice. Apply a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel. Make a cooling cucumber mask. Make a calming colloidal oatmeal mask. Apply healing apple cider vinegar. Apply a soothing mint and green tea mix. Apply anti-inflammatory manuka honey. Apply a thin layer of 1% hydrocortisone.

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

Combine equal parts cold milk, water, and ice in a bowl. Soak a clean cloth in the mixture, then apply to affected area for five minutes. Repeat the application three times.  The inflammation of your skin after waxing is similar to a sunburn, and a cool compress will ease constrict the blood vessels and reduce swelling to lessen the appearance of redness. The protein in the milk will aid in healing and will also protect your skin. Pour approximately three tablespoons of witch hazel into a small bowl and soak either a clean cloth or cotton balls in it. Apply lightly to the area of redness as needed. The tannins and oils in witch hazel lessen inflammation and, therefore, reduce redness and discomfort. Cucumber has long been noted for its analgesic, or pain relief, properties, as well as antioxidant qualities, which encourage healing of red and inflamed skin. Slice a chilled cucumber and apply the slices to the red areas of your skin. Turn the slices over as they warm to your skin, in order to keep the cool side next to your skin.  To make a cucumber mask for lasting effect, use a food processor or grater to create a paste and apply to the affected area.  For a thicker paste, add cornstarch or aloe vera gel. Colloidal oatmeal, made from finely ground oatmeal, soothes inflammation and moisturizes skin. Mix a few teaspoons of 100% pure colloidal oatmeal with just enough water to create a paste. Apply to the redness and allow to dry for 10 minutes before rinsing off.  Use this treatment up to four times per week.  Make a bath using colloidal oatmeal if your redness is your body rather than on your face. You can purchase bath packets containing 100% colloidal oatmeal in your local pharmacy. Make your own colloidal oatmeal by grinding stone ground or rolled, but not instant, oats in a food mill or food processor. Vinegar has some healing properties for mild burns, which the redness might indicate. Add one cup pure unfiltered apple cider vinegar to a spray bottle and apply to red areas after a lukewarm shower. Let the...

Make a cracked marble necklace. Paint flat marbles with nail polish. Turn flat marbles into rings. Make wire-wrapped jewelry.

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

Glue a bell cap onto a cracked marble using E6000 glue or another high strength glue that adheres to glass. Wait until it dries completely, then push a jump ring onto the ring of the bell cap. You can now fit a necklace chain onto the jump ring.  Use needle-nose pliers for greater control. You may need two pairs of pliers, so you can grip both sides of the split jump ring and rock them back and forth to "walk" over the necklace chain. Find a glue tube with a long nozzle for precise control. This adds an even more colorful sparkle when the polish reflects through the cracks in the glass. Simply coat the flat side of the marble with nail polish and let dry before using in rings or other jewelry. You may need two or three coats, depending on the opacity of the nail polish. You can easily glue cracked flat marbles onto a ring base with E6000 glue. To make your own ring base, wrap two wires around a ring mandrel, or any object the same size as your finger. Secure them by wrapping around the ring setting, then spiral the rings around each other to create a flat surface for your marble to rest on. Finish by tucking the wires around the ring beneath. You don't need much practice to make a wire cage. Just make three or four wire loops, and bunch them together at the top by wrapping the ends of a piece of wire tightly around them. Push the marble into the center of the cage, then use pliers and wire cutters to make adjustments and loop the wire around jump rings or other jewelry components.  If you enjoy this look, there are all kinds of techniques you can learn. Try this classy wrapping pattern. Aluminum wire is easy to manipulate and doesn't tarnish. 20- or 22-gauge wire works well for more jewelry projects.


Make a cucumber raita as a cooling condiment to serve with the curry. Eat the curry with papaya to help cool it down. Serve the curry over rice to help absorb the spiciness.

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

Raita is a cool and fresh condiment that you can eat with curry to take some of the heat off. Simply combine cucumber, plain yogurt, cilantro, green onions, coriander, and cumin to make this refreshing dish. When it comes to serving the meal, just add a spoonful of cucumber raitha alongside the curry. Pieces of fresh, green papaya go well with many coconut-based curries. Remove the papaya skin, scoop out the seeds, and shred the flesh using either a papaya peeler or a mandoline. You can also add a garnish of fresh herbs such as mint to the papaya, as this will help to cool the curry down further. Although eating curry with rice is already a popular favorite, if you haven't tried it with the curry yet this could be a simple way to reduce the heat. Try jasmine, basmati, white, or brown rice as a base for the curry, and see if it helps to dilute the flavor. Alternatively, other bland and starchy foods will have the same effect as rice. Try serving the curry with bread, quinoa, or potatoes to experiment with different flavors.


Make a cup of coffee.

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

Get out a French press and put 1/3 cup (30 g) of coarsely ground coffee into the bottom. Pour in 1 1⁄2 cups (350 ml) of cold water and use a spoon to stir it gently. Don't plunge the French press yet since the coffee grounds need a lot of time to come into contact with the water.


Make a decision on the type of paper. Get an estimate from a local print shop. Consider ordering the printed cards online. Think about doing electronic announcements.

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

You should choose a type of paper that's durable and won't cause colors or designs to blur. Take the following into consideration when selecting paper:  Consider the thickness and weight of the paper. Thicker, heavier papers tend to be pricey but they also may be less susceptible to damage during delivery. The overall quality of the paper is important as well. You should select something higher quality than standard notepad paper, but something manuscript quality is likely overkill. Ask at a local print shop or do research online to see what quality papers are typically used for the color schemes and designs you chose. Consider the color of the paper. If you have a lot of graphics and colors on your existing design, plain white is probably the best choice. However, if you have a less decorative announcement a cream or yellowish shade might be a nice touch. Figure out about how many cards you plan to send and get an estimate from a local print shop. While calling, explain the size of the cards, the type of paper you wish to use, the number you intend to print, and any other special considerations regarding your announcements. See how the estimate fits into your budget. If a print shop is too costly, consider getting the cards printed online and delivered to you. Companies like Shutterfly and FedEx allow you to design announcements and then order printed copies. You might also find local companies who allow you to do work online. It may be cheaper and quicker to print cards online, depending on the rates. It's not a bad idea to shop around and see what price is best for you. Electronic announcements are very convenient. They can also allow you to save money. However, there's etiquette involved when it comes to announcing a birth online.  Electronic announcements are easy to send in that you can do so through one mass email. You can include the same information as well as a similar design in an e-card as you would a regular card.  You can also do a little of both. You can send one e-card after the baby's birth...


Make a decoy honey trap. Construct a moat to catch ants. Buy ant traps and place them around your house. Eliminate ants without pesticides. Kill any ants as soon as you see them.

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

You can redirect ants away from your main honey source by putting a small dish of a spoonful of honey or sugar water outside near your house. Ants will go for this source first and as they consume the dish's contents, refill it and periodically move it away from your house to draw them away.  Make sugar water by mixing a 1:1 ratio sugar to water. Dissolve the sugar by putting it into hot water and then let it cool. Another trap you can make is with peanut butter and bacon grease or a combination of sugar and Borax. Fill a small container with the mixture, place aluminum foil over the top, and poke holes for the ants to get in. These diversions will not kill ants, only distract them from your kitchen. You will need to be sure to move the trap away from your house to prevent an invasion. Ants cannot traverse through water so it's a natural deterrent and protection for your honey. Fill the bottom of a small dish or saucer and place your honey container in it. Make sure you don't overfill it with water, you want just enough for a small pool. This method is best to use if you keep your honey stored out on a kitchen counter.  Check the plate frequently to ensure that the water hasn't evaporated. This method can be used when the lid is lost permanently; just keep adding more water as needed. Store-bought traps are a tried and true ways to capture ants and kill them. The one caveat is that traps only kill ants that make it into your home; it doesn't keep them away. Place traps around your kitchen appliances or any corner that traps dirt and crumbs.  You can also get outdoor traps that snag the ants before they make it into your home. Keep the traps out of reach from children and pets as they contain toxic chemicals. If you have small children, pets, or allergies, you may find the best option for your home is to kill persistent ants without chemicals. Set out a dish no the ground with a toxic solution to ants in it, or spray them down directly with vinegar or lemon juice. In a container, mix 1 part baking soda with 1...


Make a dessert drink. Thicken the drink with oats. Top with spices. Combine with a healthy smoothie. Chop up fresh fruit.

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

Add any or all of the following to make a richer, sweeter drink:  ½ tsp (1.25mL) vanilla extract for a more intense flavor A splash of cream for a richer taste A scoop of vanilla ice cream to make a banana milkshake A squeeze of chocolate syrup Several dates instead of sugar for a rich, natural sweetness On the healthier side of the spectrum, a handful of raw oats creates a thicker, creamier texture. Dust the top of the drink with powdered cardamom, cinnamon, and/or nutmeg. If you enjoy green smoothies, combine the two ideas. The banana will keep the smoothie thick and creamy, while the leafy greens provide vitamins and nutrients. Banana milk is basically a fruit smoothie already. Expand on the tropical theme with fresh mango, pineapple, or cantaloupe. Add more milk or a dollop of yogurt to keep it smooth.


Make a diagram of your surveillance needs. Buy the right package to suit your needs. Alternatively, buy your cameras individually. Set up a recording device and monitor. Test your equipment before installing.

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

It is both expensive and inefficient  to monitor every square inch of your house, so you need to prioritize what areas you want to watch the most. Draw up a rough diagram of your house or print out the blueprints and note where you might want to place cameras. When you are done, check out each location to make sure it is not blocked by anything and provides the best view possible. You may want cameras for:  Front and back doors. Off-Street Windows Large common spaces (kitchen, living room etc.) Driveways Porches Stairways You can buy each piece individually, but it is generally cheaper and easier to buy bundled security systems. At a minimum your system should have 1-3 cameras, a DVR (digital video recorder), appropriate wiring (siamese and BNC cables), and power cords. Unless you are choosing to monitor a large area, wireless cameras with wall mounting should cover your needs.   Basic Home Security: Get a package with 2-3 outdoor cameras (to monitor doors), and a DVR with at least 3 days of recording time.  Monitoring Valuables/Young Children: 1-3 indoor wireless cameras can cover a small room effectively and stream the footage right to your computer. Once you know how many cameras you need, you'll need to think about what specific cameras you want. A home surveillance system can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to well over a thousand, so make sure you consider the type of cameras you need before buying -- the features below should be clearly labeled on the box. While you can buy all of the parts separately, buying a full "surveillance set" is usually cheaper and easier to install.   Wireless vs. Wired: Wireless cameras are easy to set-up without drilling or running cables through your house, but the quality can be sub-par the further they get away from the receiver. If you are covering a big area, go wired, but most houses find wireless an easier set-up process.  Indoor or Outdoor: Cameras that are not made to be placed outside will quickly break when exposed to rain and humidity, so be sure to...


Make a dish washing liquid solution. Apply the soap solution and let it sit for 10 minutes. Scrub and rinse the brick. If stains remain, scrub them with trisodium phosphate.

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

Fill a small bucket with warm water. Add 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of dish washing liquid and a teaspoon of table salt. Stir the liquid to mix. Dip a clean cloth or rag into the cleaning liquid and wring it out. Rub the solution onto the stained brick with the cloth thoroughly. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Use a stiff bristle brush to scrub the stained areas of the brick. Rinse the brick thoroughly with a clean, wet cloth. Allow the brick to dry. In a plastic bucket, mix ½ cup of trisodium phosphate (a heavy duty cleaner available at hardware stores, or online) into a bucket full of hot water. Put on protective gloves (i.e. rubber or latex), safety goggles, and protective clothing. Use a stiff bristle brush to scrub the mixture onto the stained brick, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.  Patio bricks can also be cleaned with a mixture of oxygen bleach and warm water, in a ratio specified by the manufacturer. Keep pets and children away from the area while cleaning with harsh chemicals, which may be dangerous.


Make a facial scrub. Give yourself a pedicure or manicure. Take a long bath. Play with your hair.

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

All you need for a facial scrub is some cooking oil, sugar, and a bit of salt. Olive oil is a good choice, but coconut oil would work fine if you melt it in the microwave a little. Sea salt is also better than regular salt. Mix a tablespoon or two with enough sugar and a dash or two of salt to make thick concoction.  If you heat the coconut oil, make sure to test it first so you don't put hot oil on your face. Use a pinky to test it. To use the facial scrub, rub it on your face in gentle circles, avoiding your eyes. Don't rub for longer than a minute or two, as you don't want to take too much skin off. When you're done, simply wash it off. Making face masks can also be a fun thing to do! You could also spend some time giving yourself a fun new color on your nails. You can do it up right by soaking your hands and feet first and cutting your nails, but you can also just skip to the painting. Pick out a fun color and go at it. You can also look up fun nail designs on the internet to try yourself. Make sure you don't make a mess. Nail polish can be difficult to remove from surfaces, especially once it dries. Wipe up any spills right away. Another way to pamper yourself is to take a long bath by yourself with some nice music on. You could also put on an audio book. The point is to choose something that you find relaxing and enjoyable, and then let yourself soak in the warmth. Pick a candle in a soothing scent like lavender or jasmine or even use bath salts in one of those scents.  You can also just pick a scent you enjoy. Add in some bubble bath for extra fun. Spend some time trying some new tricks with your hair. Try a fun updo, or create some crazy curls with your curling iron. Messing around with your hair can be silly and fun, plus you may find a new hairdo that rocks your world.  Try a French braid if you've never done one. Gather a small portion of your hair at the top of your head. Divide it into 3 equal parts. Pull the right piece over the middle piece, making it the middle piece. Then pull the left one...

Make a foundation chain. Work one DTR into the sixth chain. Repeat the stitch across the row.

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

Attach the yarn to your crochet hook using a slipknot and create a foundation chain. Your foundation chain needs to have five stitches more than the number of double treble crochets you want in your first row.  For example, if you want to create a row of 10 double treble crochets, you need to start with a foundation chain made of 15 chain stitches. If you do not know how to make a chain stitch or a slipknot, please check the "Tips" section for additional help. Skip over the first five stitches next to your hook and work one standard double treble crochet into the sixth stitch. Use the same method described in the "Double Treble Crochet Stitch" section of the article.  Yarn over three times. Insert the hook into the stitch to be worked. In this case, it is the sixth stitch. Yarn over once. Draw the yarn-over back through to the front of the stitch to create a loop. Yarn over once. Draw the yarn-over through two loops. Repeat three more times: yarn over, draw it through two loops; yarn over, draw it through two loops; yarn over, draw it through two loops. This completes the stitch. Work one double treble crochet into each chain of your foundation chain. Continue doing this until you reach the end of the chain.  To complete a straight row, only make one double treble crochet per stitch. Once you reach the end of the chain, you have completed a first full row of double treble crochet.


Make a garbage bag backpack poncho. Tie a small umbrella to the top handle of your bag. Wear a large raincoat over your bag. Create a makeshift bag cover. Finished.

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

If there's a sudden downpour and you don't have your cover on hand, you can tear arm and head holes in a garbage bag to create a makeshift poncho. Most garbage bags should be large enough to fit both you and your backpack, keeping you both dry. Avoid tearing arm and head holes that are too large in your garbage bag. This will create more opportunities for leakage and dripping. For this technique, you should prioritize umbrellas with a wrist strap. Take the wrist strap and tie it firmly to the handle at the top of your backpack so the umbrella hangs over the front of your head and your bag as well, keeping you both dry.  You may be able to use a length of cord, an article of clothing (like a scarf), and so on to tie umbrellas without wrist straps to your backpack. Be sure to tie your umbrella firmly and securely to your backpack. Otherwise, your umbrella may be blown away. Avoid using this technique in particularly bad weather. Updrafts from sudden gusts of wind could cause your umbrella to jostle painfully against your head. Choose a raincoat or waterproof jacket that's larger than your normal size. You'll want it to be large enough to accommodate your backpack as well. Put on your backpack, then suit up in your raincoat or waterproof jacket to protect your bag from the rain. This may look silly, as though you have a hump, but it is very effective for keeping your bag dry. Take a plastic sheet, garbage bag, or some other similar, waterproof material, and tuck it between your back and backpack. Pull the material so that part of it is pinned between your back and the bag, but the rest of the material is draped over the back of the bag to protect it.  A plastic garbage bag is a great on-the-go cover. You can fold one of these to a very small size and stow it in your bag for rainy day use. To keep your makeshift bag cover in place, you might want to use some waterproof or water resistant tape, like duct tape, to hold the cover to your bag.


Make a garlic spray. Use a spray with peppermint, lavender, or neem oil. Make a spray with orange and cedar oil. Use a soap-based spray. Look for insecticide spray at your local gardening center. Apply the spray every three to five days until the pest is gone.

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

Mince or blend two garlic bulbs in a blender. Then, combine them with 2 cups (470 ml) of water to make a fine mixture. Place the mixture in a container and let it sit for a day. Strain out the pulp and put the mixture in 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water in a spray bottle.  For a more potent spray, add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of hot sauce. You can then spray the tops and bottoms of the leaves on your herbs to get rid of aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. Combine 10 drops peppermint oil and 10 drops lavender oil in 1 gallon (3.8 L)  of water. Put the mixture in a spray bottle and apply it to your herbs to help get rid of fleas, flies, and gnats. This essential oils spray is also good for killing moths and spiders on your herbs.  Neem oil is also great for killing and repelling pests in your garden. Combine 10 drops neem oil with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water in a spray bottle. Look for essential oils that are high quality and safe to consume at your local health food store or online. This will ensure you are not at risk when you eat your herbs. Orange oil and cedar oil are great for getting rid of ants, fleas, and ticks. Combine 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of orange oil and 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of cedar oil with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water in a spray bottle. You can then apply the spray to your herbs and to the bugs you are trying to kill. These essential oils work particularly well on ant colonies. Spray the ant colony daily with the oils to kill the colony and prevent it from coming back. Get soap that is made of natural products, with no anti-bacterial properties. A mild liquid soap should be fine. Combine 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of soap with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water in a spray bottle. You can then apply the spray to your herbs to get rid of aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. You can add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of rubbing alcohol to the spray to make it extra potent. If you’d prefer to buy an insecticide for your herb garden to kill bugs, get one that is organic and contains natural ingredients. Avoid insecticides that contain harsh...


Make a gerund the subject of a sentence. Use a gerund as the complement of the verb “to be. Employ gerunds after prepositions. Include a gerund after a phrasal verb. Use a gerund in some compound nouns. Insert a gerund after some common expressions.

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

It’s appropriate to use a gerund if the action verb is the subject of the sentence. For example:   Flying makes me nervous.  Eating meat contributes to global warming.  Smoking causes cancer. ” If you have a complement verb that you’re pairing with the verb “to be,” then you’ll need to use the gerund form. For example:  One of the best things in life is drinking wine with friends. She hates her brothers because they are acting mean. A problem in production is shipping products overseas. If the verb appears in the sentence after a preposition, it’s necessary to use the gerund form. For example:  I’m good at swimming. We made it to the hotel after driving all night. In spite of missing our flight, we made it to the reunion. A phrasal verb is made up of a verb plus a preposition or adverb. There are many common phrasal verbs that include gerunds in the English language. For example:  I ended up buying a new car this weekend. She wanted to give up smoking. My brother always puts off cleaning his room. There are certain compound nouns that include a gerund. In these situations, the context makes it clear that the gerund is part of the noun, not a continuous verb. For example:  We have a swimming pool in our backyard. My mom bought me some new running shoes. She really needs a driving lesson before she takes the test. In the English language, there are quite a few common sayings that use gerunds as part of the expression. These include expressions like it’s no use, can’t stand, can’t help, or to be worth. For example:  It’s no use asking her to forgive me. My brother can’t stand losing a game. I couldn’t help feeling bad about it. It might be worth searching for a later show.


Make a gift box for the celebration. Put together a kit for her to take to school. Fill the box and kit with the necessary supplies. Add some fun items to make her smile. Personalize the box or kit so it’s just from you. Add items to the kit she feels she needs.

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

Use an old basket or go to an arts and crafts store to find a small wooden box. Make sure whatever you choose is big enough to hold some goodies. Add embellishments to the box that reflect your daughter’s personality and favorite colors. You can go for a quirky tone or something more elegant, depending on your daughter’s personality. Your daughter might be the type to make a joke about her first period, or you could have a girl who’s going to want a memorable keepsake to get teary over. In addition to a gift box, your daughter is going to want something to keep her essentials in when she’s at school. The kit should be something small that she can fit in her backpack, such as a pencil case. It should also be large enough to fit several pads and other essentials. Don’t put the word “period” on it or buy something red. While you might find this cute or funny, your daughter probably won’t. The purpose of the box and kit is to make your daughter feel ready to handle any situation related to her period. Include all the obvious essentials. If there’s room, add other items that you feel are appropriate for your daughter’s unique needs.  All kits and boxes should have pads, wet wipes or tissues, hand sanitizer, and a cute pair of replacement underwear. Most girls won’t start out using tampons. If your daughter is a swimmer, she’s an exception. You might also want to add a little booklet of tips to the gift box. For example, you could write a note telling your daughter to keep an extra sweatshirt in her locker just in case she has a leakage emergency. Enough with the serious stuff. This is supposed to be a celebration! Put some chocolate or your daughter’s favorite sweet snack in the gift box. Write a card telling her you love her, and that you’re always there for her. Go for a sappy card if you’re creating an elegant keepsake. If you’re striving for a quirkier tone, keep the card light and cute. You can buy pre-made period kits online for your daughter. While these are great for getting ideas, it’ll mean more to your...


Make a good first impression. Establish eye contact. Have positive body language at all times.

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

Now that you feel amazing both physically and emotionally, it's time to attract that special someone. Remember that you only get one first impression, so have a positive attitude before you meet the man in question. The first thing you can do is establish eye contact to show a man you're interested.  Hold his gaze for just the right amount of time. You don't have to stare into his eyes for hours, but looking at him for just a few seconds from across the room will show that you're interested. Be coy yet approachable. When you look at the man, try not to look too eager, but make it clear that you would be happy if he started a conversation with you. Let your facial expressions do the talking. Once the man approaches you, don't forget to smile, smile, smile! Nothing says that you're friendly and attractive like a good smile. Smile--but don't over think it. Make your smile something you approach the world with. Not only will this make your smile more natural and frequent, but you will feel happier in general. Try smiling when you're not happy - you'll find that some happiness bubbles up. You don't have to look overly-eager when you smile--just be natural. Now that your man has seen the look in your eyes, as well as your pearly whites, it's time to use your body to show him the attraction is mutual.  Carry yourself in a confident manner. Don't slouch, look at your feet, or cross your arms over your chest. Avoid nervous actions such as playing with your hair or biting your nails. Instead, face the man and keep your arms moving through gestures. This will make you seem like an open and dynamic person. Show him that you're interested. If you're feeling his love, there's no harm in leaning in to hear him talk, especially if you're in a loud or crowded place. A light touch on the arm or knee can also show him that you like what he has to offer without being too aggressive. Physically hold his attention. Make sure to maintain eye contact and to avoid looking around--or even worse, checking your phone every five...


Make a gradual change. Assume you'll have a few relapses. Make sure you eat enough food.

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

Initially, eat vegetarian as much as possible without giving up meat entirely. Learn to enjoy vegetarian food before you quit meat cold turkey . Start to eliminate different types of meat gradually, having "one last meal" with the relevant ingredient and resolving not to eat it again. Try this schedule for gradual meat reduction:  Eliminate chicken and fish first. Cut out pork, such as bacon and ham, after a week. Stop eating red meat, such as beef, after another week. Cut out shell-fish, such as crab and shrimp, after another two weeks. In the early days of going vegetarian, you're bound to eat meat once or twice. Just remind yourself why you decided to go vegetarian in the first place and carry on as before. Relapses are normal, and you will get better at being vegetarian as you practice.  For many people, it only takes a couple of weeks of eliminating meat to stop having cravings. It might be better if you eliminate all meat from your diet at once, and keep it out for a couple of weeks. Before long, your cravings will be eliminated and you won't want it anymore. If you find yourself eating meat at times or "cheating", try being vegetarian 6 days a week, or whatever number of days works for you. Gradually increase the amount of days until you can finally let go of eating meat. Remember, eating meat or fish in any amount means that you are not vegetarian but semi-vegetarian instead. Continuing to eat fish qualifies you as a "pescatarian" at best. You become a vegetarian when you no longer consume animal flesh. If you aren't getting enough food, you might start craving meat. There is protein in almost all kinds of food, so you can rest assured that you'll almost definitely get enough protein, as long as you eat 1200 calories or more a day. If you are trying to gain weight it is important to eat a wide variety of legumes, nuts, and seeds into your diet to make sure you get enough calories and healthy fats.


Make a great first impression. Be a good listener Show kindness to everyone. Keep your positions on important issues at the forefront of your mind. Take pride in your appearance Stand tall. Make eye contact Smile

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

You only get one chance to make a first impression and it is important to make it count! When you are meeting someone new, make sure that you do everything you can to make a great first impression. This will help you to stand out.  For example, if you are meeting someone for a first date, make sure that you have practiced your entrance, introduction, and anything else that might come up in the first few minutes of meeting the person. Try telling a joke, wearing a flashy new outfit, or picking an interesting place to meet the person. . Listening can also help you to stand out since not everyone possesses this important skill. Develop your listening skills and practice them whenever you get a chance.  For example, you can practice good listening skills when your teacher is explaining the daily homework, when your best friend tells you about their day, or when your boss is describing a special project. To be a good listener, make eye contact and nod to show you are paying attention, rephrase what the person says to show them that you understood them, and ask questions to show your interest in what they are saying. Kindness is not a trait everyone possesses either, so showing kindness to everyone can also help you to stand out. Be nice to everyone you meet or interact with even if you have nothing to gain by being nice to them. For example, if there is a new student in your class, invite them to have lunch with you. If your office has just hired an intern for the summer, then let them know you are available if they have any questions. While you may not always want to voice an opinion on divisive issues, staying focused on your opinion while listening to other people can help you to stay true to yourself. By maintaining your stance, you may also avoid giving in to requests and ideas that you are against.  For example, if you have a strong opinion on who should win the next presidential election, then you might keep this idea in mind any time you are involved in a conversation where people are discussing the...


Make a great first impression. Pay attention in class. Participate in class. Be open about your weaknesses and ask for help. Sit in the front row in class. Take amazing notes.

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

We all form first impressions. And we all continue to judge others based on first impressions we’ve taken of them. When you first meet your teacher, make sure that you are polite, hard-working, respectful, and ready to learn. It is possible that when your teacher goes to grade your assignment, they’ll be guided by the kind feelings they have towards you. They might be more likely to let an error slide and an inconsistency pass. The result of this may only be a couple of points, but those points add up. Do you tend to stare out of the window? Do you doodle nonstop while the teacher is talking? Do you pass notes constantly? All of these activities are common faux-pas. In the classroom, your goal should be to absorb as much information as possible. Doing so will reduce the time needed to comprehend the material later. Homework will become infinitely easier and take a fraction of the time used when you’re having to teach yourself the material. Take all the necessary steps before class to reduce distractions. Feed yourself. Get some sleep. Make phone calls ahead of time or take the time to text before entering the class. Ask questions. Answer your teacher’s questions. Participate in class dialogues. This step is essential for two reasons. First, it manages your teacher’s expectations further. It makes you seem like a motivated student. More importantly, if you take time to ask questions in class, you’ll probably understand the material better later on and will require less time to study or complete homework. Maybe this seems counterintuitive, but teachers need to know what their students don’t get. If you are open about not understanding the significance of asymptotes, the function of the mitochondria, or how to use a semicolon, your teacher will spend more time on the subject, which will help you in the long run to reduce the amount of work you have to complete. Furthermore, your teacher might cut you some slack if he sees you struggling with a subject. This will help you to focus and give the impression that you...


Make a grocery list. Purchase non-perishable food at least a week before the party. Purchase perishable foods a day before the party at the earliest. Use coupons to save money. Buy in bulk to cut down on cost.

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

Decide what recipes you’ll use and how much of each ingredient you’ll need to buy. Write it down on a piece of paper or your phone or a mobile app. Organize yourself in whatever way works best for you so you’re prepared and efficient at the store. Purchase canned foods and other non-perishable foods like frozen food, pasta, dry beans, and bottled beverages as soon as possible. This will save you time in the days just prior to the party. This includes salad ingredients and toppings like lettuce and spinach, fruits that spoil quickly, like berries, and dessert foods like cake. Look for coupons in the Sunday newspaper, in magazines, online, or on shopping apps. Go through your coupons before heading out to the store so you know which ones you can use, and make sure to read them through to fully understand the deal they offer. Wholesale distributors allow you to purchase items in bulk quantities at a reduced price. This is less important if you're only hosting a party for a handful of people, but can save you a lot of time and money if you're hosting a large party.


Make a guest list of everyone you want to invite. Send out invitations to everyone on your guest list. Purchase your food and supplies before the big day. Clean your home so it’s ready for company.

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

Decide how many people you can comfortably host in your home. Then, write down your closest friends and family members first. If you have space, include friends you don’t see often and any coworkers you socialize with outside of work. You may want to invite a few more people than you plan on hosting, since some people might not be able to come. For instance, if you’d like to have about 20 guests, you might invite 25-30. For an easy option, send an e-vite or create a Facebook event for your party. This will allow you to invite everyone at one time. As another option, you might text all of your guests to see if they can come. Ask your guests to RSVP so you can get a head count. If you’re asking guests to bring any food or drinks, tell them this in the invitation. You might say, “Please bring a snack or drink to share.” Grocery stores are going to be packed on game day, so don’t wait until the last minute to go shopping. Buy your dish ingredients, serving ware, and napkins in advance. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:  Plates, cups, and napkins Cutlery Table cloths Decorations Sodas and alcoholic drinks Food ingredients Prepared snacks You and your guests will enjoy the big game more if your space is tidy. Remove excess clutter from the rooms you’ll be using for your party. Then, dust, clean the TV, and sweep or vacuum your living room. Additionally, wipe down your kitchen counters and tables so they’re free of germs. Don’t worry about cleaning every room of your house if parts of your house won’t be open to your guests. Instead, close the door to any rooms you don’t want guests to enter.


Make a guest list. Choose a date. Find a venue. Create an order of events. Ask close friends or relatives of the loved one to speak. Take food orders. Be open to suggestions when they are offered.

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

Starting with the guest list can give you a good idea of what the celebration will look like. Write down the name of anyone you can think of that might want to attend. Anytime you think of a new name, write it on the list. You can reach out to these guests as you plan the next stages of the celebration. Here is the first place your guest list can come in handy. Contact guests on the list, especially those who were particularly close to your loved one, and ask them for dates that they could possibly attend. This is especially important for guests that will be traveling long distances. A great way to do this is to get everyone’s email address and send out a poll (e.g. Doodle Poll) that gives guests an array of possible dates. Each guest can select any of the dates that they can attend, and you can set a date based on the results. Your venue will also be dictated by your guests. Obviously, you need to select a venue that is large enough to house all of your guests, but you should also consider things such as handicap accessibility and how child friendly your venue is before deciding. You can also make a shortlist of venues that would serve the celebration well, and ask your guests for their input. Some possible venues include churches, schools, outdoor spaces (parks, campgrounds, etc.), and a host of other unique spots that might house a special celebration. One of the perks to a celebration of life is that it is free flowing. That said, you can make things go much smoother by having some agenda made. Send this agenda to all guests ahead of time, or hand it out as guests arrive. The order of events should include things like:  When does the celebration start? When will each speaker speak? When will food be served? When will any other special events take place? When is the celebration set to end? Not all celebrations will have formal speakers. If you do want guests to speak, you should ask them ahead of time so that they have time to prepare something to say. If someone prefers not to speak, remember that many...


Make a guest list. Choose a date. Send invitations. Plan the food for your party. Consider catered food if your budget allows. Decide what drinks you will serve.

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

You should start keeping a guest list before you start working on the invitation.  Be sure you include any friends, family, and coworkers that you would like to invite into your new home.  Limit the guest list to the number of guests appropriate for the amount of space you have available.  If you have a small space, consider hosting 2-3 smaller parties rather than one big one. Remember that more people lead to a more expensive party; if your budget is tight, try limiting the guest list. It is good to have people to your home soon after you move in, but not too soon.  You should have time to unpack, decorate, and clean most of the house. Planning a party 2-3 weeks after you move in can give you enough time to prepare and unpack, but will give you an added incentive to get yourself settled. Invitations should be sent at least 2 weeks ahead of time for most parties.  Shorter notice can be given if the party is more casual/informal.  Use social media or an electronic invitation service if you want to send electronic invites and cut down on party-related expenses.  For a more formal gathering, consider sending paper invitations. Be sure to include the date, start time, and end time on your invitation. Request an RSVP so that you can plan for food and drinks appropriately. Most house-warming parties feature finger foods that people can munch on as they are mingling, seeing your new house, and drinking.  Consider the time of your party when planning for food.  If your party takes place at a common mealtime, guests may expect to be fed.  For example, a party that takes place from 4-9 should probably provide a full meal for dinner. Consider what types of food the people attending would enjoy eating: for example, if one is a vegetarian, don't prepare a meat-heavy selection. Be realistic about how much time you will have to prepare food.  If you won’t have much prep time or if you have a limited budget, try keeping your food options simpler.  A few easy party foods are: fresh fruits and vegetables with dips, cheese and...


Make a guest list. Decide whether to make or buy invitations. Choose festive, colorful invitations. Send out your invitations two to four weeks in advance.

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

To have a party, you’ll need to invite your child’s friends! Parents should make the guest list for kids under 4. Think about family friends and friends from school who you’d like to invite. Children over 4 should probably be given a say in making the guest list. You can buy luau-themed invitations from your local party store, or you can try your hand at making them! Depending on the size of your guest list, making invitations may not be feasible. Invitations should include the time, date, and location of the party. Don’t forget to mention any special details! For your luau-themed party, you might want to direct children to bring their swimsuits. Go for colorful, tropical invitations decorated with flip flops, flowers, or ocean waves. If you are buying your invitations, consider using Hawaiian postcards.  If you decide on homemade invitations, flip-flop-shaped invitations made from construction paper are a cute, easy option. Print the invitation text on colored cardstock, then trace and cut out a flip-flop shape. You can find stencils online and print them. Glue on a silk flower for extra flair.  The possibilities are limitless. You could make flower-shaped invitations, or even attach invitations to a lei! Visit party planning websites or blogs for more ideas. You should give the guests enough time to plan ahead, but not so much time that they forget about the event. Send out invitations at least two weeks, but no more than four weeks, before your party.


Make a handle using a looped rope. Make a handle using a tied loop. Make a handle using a Rolled Cardboard.

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

Make a loop using two meters (yards) of rope.  Pass the rope ends through holes in the flaps. Tie the loop closed.  Use the loop ends as handles. Alternative View: Cut the rope a foot long or so (30cm).  Pass the ends through holes in the flaps.  Tie the ends in a knot. Leave largish flaps of cardboard at the box opening.  Roll the flaps to form "scroll like" handles.  Tape well.


Make a homework calendar. Complete all of your assigned reading on schedule. Shift between subjects when you lose concentration. Avoid handing in homework late.

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

Juggling coursework for different classes can be tricky so it is important to stay as organized as possible. Keep track of all of your homework due dates and schedule specific time to work on assignments. You can use a day planner or a wall calendar to schedule your homework time, or both if you want extra reminders. Try color coding your calendar with colored pens to show the priority level or difficulty of your assignments. Follow your course outline or syllabus and do all of your assigned reading on the days it is assigned. This will prepare you to fully participate in class and impress your teacher. You will also be ready for any pop quizzes that might come up. If you have multiple homework assignments from different classes, shift between them when you start to lose focus. A fresh topic can reinvigorate your mind and ensure that you do not waste any valuable time. Shift between subjects as much as you need to but make sure that all of your assignments are completed by their due date. Try focusing on the more difficult subjects first so that you can devote more time to them if you need to. Late assignments are object subject to penalties that will lower your overall grade. Make sure to accurately track the due dates for all of your homework assignments on your calendar and  get your work in on time. If you are going to be absent on a day when a homework assignment is due, aim to hand it in early to avoid losing marks.


Make a honey mask. Put on an egg white mask. Apply aloe vera. Make a baking soda paste. Make an aspirin mask.

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

A natural antibacterial and antimicrobial agent, honey works to clear clogged pores and lift off excess oil and dead skin. Coat your whole face in honey and leave it for as long as you can before rinsing off. Additionally, dab honey directly on your pimples and cover with a bandage while you sleep overnight. Use warm water to remove honey. If any sticks, use your face cleanser to remove it. Egg whites help reduce redness and tighten the skin, which can help reduce pimples. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, and then beat them until they are foamy. Spread the egg whites over the acne. Leave on for 15 minutes, and then rinse off the mask with warm water.  You can also add some fresh lemon juice to the egg white mask. Be aware that egg whites are uncooked food so there is a risk of foodborne illness. Make sure not to get it in your mouth. Aloe reduces inflammation, helps remove oil, and cools your skin. This can help alleviate some of your acne. Get an aloe leaf and cut off a small section. Dig out the inside of the leaf. Crush it until it is a smooth paste. Spread the aloe gel paste onto your acne. If you are buying aloe vera gel, only use the natural, pure kind. This can be found at natural stores. The stuff you buy in superstores shouldn't be used on your face. Baking soda can help reduce inflammation and loosen oil and dirt that causes pimples. To make a baking soda paste, take around two tablespoons (30 g) of baking soda and add warm water to it. Add just enough water so that the baking soda becomes a firm paste. Apply to a wet face and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse away with warm water. The paste should be thick enough to stick on your face and not drip off. Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory, so placing a mask of it on your face can help heal your pimple. Mix one part aspirin to three parts water. The aspirin will dissolve in the water, so you don't have to crush it. After it thickens, apply it over the acne. Leave on for at least 30 minutes, or until it begins to harden.  Remove with a wet...


Make a joke out of the situation. Turn the insult on yourself. Confront the situation honestly.

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

Turn the unintentional slight into something you can laugh about by following the comment with a joke.  Saying “Just kidding! Can you imagine if that were true? Wow!” can help you to play it off and brush aside the comment Add some levity by saying something like "one of my many talents is knowing the perfect thing to say to anyone in any situation" and laughing. Tell the person you accidentally insulted that you were just kidding and the comment was more of a personal statement about yourself. Someone is more likely to let it go if you say that you were actually being honest about yourself and didn’t mean the comment about the other person. If you insult someone's looks, make up a story that turns your comment into a personal narrative. "I have always been self conscious about my looks, so I sometimes project onto others. Let the person know that you didn't mean to insult them and apologize honestly for the slight. Admit your mistake in insulting the person and try to wrap the comment with a compliment.  If you insulted the person by pointing out something that you don’t like about the person, be honest about it. Say something like, “I’m sorry that I hurt you. I just think sometimes you wear too much perfume to work. Maybe I just have a really sensitive sense of smell. I really like your outfit though! You have the best wardrobe, where do you shop?” If you sent an email to the wrong person, apologize and say that the message was meant for someone else, but that you really shouldn’t have said the comment at all.


Make a large and small circle next to one another for the front and back of the body. Draw a smaller circle with a rounded trapezoid to make the dragon's head. Sketch curved lines connecting the head and body circles. Put in lines for the legs so you know what shape to make them. Sketch out rounded tube shapes around the lines you drew for the legs to bulk them up. Add a curved tail coming out from the back of the body. Sketch out curved lines for the shape of the dragon's wings. Add the webbing to the wings to connect them to the body. Give your dragon features and horns on its head. Erase any lines you made that aren't a part of your dragon. Add scales if you want to make your dragon look realistic. Finished.

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

Start by making a large circle near the middle of your paper, using a compass if you want to get it perfectly round. Then draw another circle that's about two-thirds of the size of the first one to the left of it so there's a small gap between them. The larger circle will become the chest and shoulders of your dragon and the smaller one will be for the hips.  Don't overlap the circles or else your dragon's body will look too short. Your dragon will look longer if you put the second circle further away from the first one. Be careful not to draw the circles too large or else the rest of your dragon won't fit on the page. Make a circle that's about one-third of the size of the front of the body, and place it above the largest circle so there's a large gap between them. Where you draw the circle will determine how long your dragon's neck will be. Add a small rounded trapezoid to the right side of the circle to give your dragon a snout.  Use a compass to draw the circle if you want it to look perfectly round. Otherwise, it's okay to draw it freehand. Draw with light pencil lines so you can erase and reposition the head if you don't like where you drew it the first time. Start from the bottom of the head and draw a curved line that connects to the far right side of the large circle. Then make another S-shaped line from the top of the head so it intersects the top of the large circle to complete the neck. Add a curved line from the top of the large circle to the top of the circle on the left. Make the dragon's stomach with another curved line that connects the bottom of the large circle to the bottom of the circle on the left. Avoid using straight lines when you connect the circles since it will make the dragon look unnatural. Start near the center of the largest circle and draw a straight line angled backward so it extends past the bottom of the circle. Then add a small dot to the end of the line for the ankle joint before drawing another straight line angled forward that's about one-fourth of the length of the...


Make a lemon, thyme, and pepper rub. Create a thyme and rosemary rub. Add some heat with a spicy thyme rub.

Make a lemon-honey apple jam. Try apple jam with ginger. Create an apple cranberry jam. Consider making apple butter.

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

To make a citrus flavored apple jam, cook your prepared apples with lemon juice until the apples soften and break down. Stir in pure honey and sugar. Bring the jam to a boil over medium-low heat and add liquid pectin. Boil the jam for 2 more minutes and add lemon zest. You can them process the jam in 7 pint jars. To make this variation, you'll need:  12 cups of chopped peeled, cored, and diced apples 2 cups of lemons juice 2 cups of honey 3 cups of granulated sugar 1 envelope of liquid pectin Lemon zest from 3 lemons For a soothing flavor, create a ginger liquid by pureeing 12 ounces of chopped fresh ginger with 8 ounces of water. Strain the liquid through cheesecloth to get 2 cups of ginger liquid. To make the jam, place all of the liquid into a large pot with 8 cups of peeled, cored and diced or grated apples and 5 cups of granulated sugar. Bring the jam to a boil and let it boil for 25 to 30 minutes. You can then process the jam, which will make about 6 pints. If you're using a candy thermometer to check if the jam is set, the temperature should reach between 215 and 220 degrees F. Mix together prepared apples, whole fresh cranberries, sugar and water in a large cook pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the lemon zest and juice. Keep lightly boiling the jam until it thickens. You can process it in about 4 to 5 pint jars. You'll need:  8 cups of apples 6 cups of granulated sugar 1 cup of water The juice and zest of 2 lemons If you like the taste of apple jam, but don't want to use as much sugar, make apple butter in a slow cooker. Place 5 pounds of quartered apples in a slow cooker along with 1 cup of apple cider and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Once the apples are soft (after cooking 3 or 4 hours), mash and strain them to remove the peels and seeds. Add 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Cook a few more hours until the apple butter is thick and you can process...


Make a line that ants won't cross. Squirt lemon juice along outdoor edges. Use essential oils to keep ants away. Keep your surfaces clean so ants aren't interested in coming in. Seal your house to keep them out.

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

There are several natural substances that ants abhor so much, they won't go near them. If you use one of these substances to create lines around your windowsills, around the perimeter of your house, and in any spots where ants are getting inside, you can keep ants from coming inside. Freshen up the lines every few days, since ants will be able to get through once the lines are broken. Here are substances that work for this purpose:  Cinnamon Cayenne pepper Ground orange or lemon peels Coffee grounds This will keep the inside of your house from getting sticky, but the ants will be deterred by a strong citrus smell. You can also squirt a solution of half lemon juice, half water around the outside of your house. They hate the smell of a variety of essential oils, many of which smell very pleasant to humans. Add 10 drops of essential oil to 1 cup of water, then spray the solution both indoors and outdoors to keep ants away. Here are the oils you can try:  Lemon oil Peppermint oil Eucalyptus oil (don't use this near cats! It's toxic to them, but not to dogs) Lavender oil Cedar oil During the spring months, when ants are most likely to come inside the house, do your best to keep your floors, countertops, and cabinets spotless. This goes a long way toward keeping ants out. If they don't smell food, they won't be interested in invading your house.   Keep food containers tightly sealed, too. This is especially important for sugar, honey, syrup and other foods that ants like to eat. Clean up spills right away, especially fruit juice or syrup spills. If you don't give ants a door inside, they'll be more likely to stick to outdoor areas. Find all the little cracks and crevices where they could be getting in, like under the door, around the windowsills, and in other little cracks in the foundation. Fill the holes with caulk or other sealants to keep your house airtight. Spritz the areas with lavender or lemon water for good measure.


Make a list of all the activities, must-see locations, and foods have to see while traveling. Book accommodations in advance whenever possible. Learn as much background about your destination as possible. Pack lightly, taking only essentials. Leave a copy of your full itinerary and all applicable contact information with at least one person you trust. Inform relevant authorities of your travel plans. Make copies of your passport, visas, tickets and itineraries before departing.

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

Traveling alone offers you incredible freedom to do what you want to do. Don't spend the whole day on a weak Wi-Fi signal trying to figure out what to see -- make a list in advance. The beauty of solo travel is that you aren't beholden to stick to your schedule, but you can have a wide range of options worth exploring if you aren't sure what to do next. Some good ways to find activities include:  Travel blogs or forums TripAdvisor LonelyPlanet Recommendations from friends who have visited before Guidebooks from your local bookstore. Whether you're staying at 5-star hotels, hostels, or camping, look into your sleeping arrangements before leaving. When you're alone, especially if you're in a foreign country, the last thing you want is a campsite to be full or the hostel to be booked. If you're intent on figuring it out on the fly, jot down 2-3 potential places to stay each night, along with phone numbers, to make your life easier.  If you're looking to explore, aim for hostels or unique hotels with a bar and/or restaurant. You'll inevitably meet other travelers with recommendations and advice. Download or carry a Lonely Planet guide for your destination -- they have phone numbers, addresses, and descriptions of great places to stay (especially in a bind!) for your reference. This will make conversing with locals easier, and can clue you in to potential risks and hazards. If you can, pick up as much of the language as possible -- even making an effort to speak a native tongue makes a big difference. Some areas to focus on learning include:  Important cultural norms, including (in)appropriate gestures in public, titles and names, and religious or cultural customs. Appropriate dress and attire for your gender. Any safety or travel concerns you need to heed. You're going to need your wits about you when you land in a strange area and have to figure out what to do next. Make life much easier by only packing one light bag. You have enough to deal with without keeping track of luggage, and you do not want to be caught...


Make a list of all the bills you pay each month. Put the due dates for each of your bills on a calendar. Include your income on your calendar. Add investment contributions or savings goals. Use your calendar to create a monthly budget.

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

Start by pulling your monthly bank statement to identify the recurring bills each month. Write down the name of the bill, the amount, and the date it's due (not the date the payment cleared your bank account, which may be different). You might also include a column to write down how the bill is paid (auto-draft or paid manually).  A spreadsheet can help you keep this information organized, but you can also write it out by hand if you want. If the amount of a bill varies from month to month, write down a budgeted amount. For example, if your electricity bill varies between $70 and $120 a month, you might budget $120. That way you know you'll never be short, and you might have some leftover. You can either buy a calendar you like or create a blank monthly calendar on the computer. Most word processing or spreadsheet apps have a calendar template you can use. Then type or write the name and amount of the bill on the day it is due.  You can use different colored inks to signify how a bill is paid. For example, you might use blue ink for bills that are auto-drafted and red ink for bills that you have to pay manually on the due date. If you're creating your calendar on the computer, you can use text formatting to indicate whether the amount of the bill is an exact amount or a budgeted estimate. For example, you might use regular font for exact amounts and italicized font for a budgeted estimate. After you've put all your bills on your calendar, add your income on the days that you get paid. If your pay varies from paycheck to paycheck, use a budgeted estimate on the lower end of the range.  For example, if you get paid weekly and your pay ranges from $500 to $700 a week, you might include the $500 amount on your calendar. If you've decided to use different colored inks, green is typically the best color to use for income. This is the color used most often on banking and budgeting apps for income and indicates a deposit of money. If you're contributing to an investment account or saving up for a specific reason, add...
