Check your dog's size. Look at your dog's ears. Check your dog's tail. Look at your dog's head. Realize you won't be able to identify your dog 100 percent.

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

Your dog's size is related to your dog's breeds. You can't have a large mutt without him having a large-breed dog as a part of his genetic makeup.  For instance, if your dog is very small (in the 5 to 10 pound range), he likely has some influence from the toy breeds, such as Toy Poodles, Chihuahuas, Papillons, and Shih Tzus.  If your dog is mid-range, in the 10 to 50 pound range, he likely has some influence from a mid-range size dog, such as a terrier or spaniel.  Large dogs, in the 65 to 100-pound range, include dogs such as setters, retrievers, and shepherds.  The biggest dogs, the ones that come close to 200 pounds, likely have some giant dog in their mix, such as Saint Bernard, Komondor, or Mastiff.  Nonetheless, mutts can come in any size, and if your dog is mid-range, it may be harder to determine what breeds contributed to his genetic makeup based on size. Different breeds have different types of ears. Your mutt's ears can be an indicator of what breeds contributed to his looks.  Bat ears are large ears that stand upright on a dog's head. They are large in proportion to the head. They may be slightly rounded. Chihuahuas and Cardigan West Corgis have these ears.  Prick ears stand upright and are pointed. You'll see these ears on malamutes and Siberian Huskies, as well as some terriers. Sometimes, prick ears are made by cutting part of the ear, and those ears are called cropped. Great Danes and Doberman Pinschers often have their ears cropped. Another variation on prick ears is hooded ears, which curve slightly in at the bottom, like on Basenji dogs.  Round-tip or blunt-tip ears are upright ears that are rounded on the ends, seen on Chow Chows or French Bulldogs.  Candle flame ears are pointed ears, but they pinch in slightly at the bottom, making them look like a candle flame. English Toy Terriers have these ears.  Button ears stand up, but the top part flops down, covering the ear canal. They're seen in Fox Terriers and Jack Russell Terriers, for example.  Cocked, semi-cropped, or semi-pricked ear...


Check your eligibility. Sit the test. Use your accredited status.

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

If your interest is in working in the scientific or medical field, then the International Medical Interpreters Association offer certification through their Certified Medical Interpreter program (CMI. If you can meet their requirements you can sit a test which examines your written and oral translation and interpretation competency.  You must prove you have completed an approved medical interpreter educational program. A registry of approved training programs is posted on the IMIA website. . You must prove your source and target language skills via a Bachelor, Masters, Ph.D., or any other degree from an institution of higher education or ACTFL qualification (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages). The knowledge areas that will be tested in the oral and written examinations will cover professional training, experience, and conduct. You will be tested on medical terminology, your role and responsibilities, ethics, competence, knowledge of legal issues and regulations.  You can take the exam in the method that best suits you. Either online via your home computer or at one of the many accredited test sites across the country.  Use the help and tools included in the CMI Candidate Handbook to focus on improving your weak spots to get you through the test – do you need to learn more about regulations, or legal issues? Obtaining this certification provides you with a professional credential that crosses state lines and can be used to obtain work in specialist medical agencies. It demonstrates that you are professionally competent to provide both in-person and remote (virtual) translation and interpretation in medical settings.  You will receive your CMI credential in the specific languages for which the oral exam is passed (for example CMI-Spanish, or CMI-Korean). Now you are certified you will not have to have your skills tested by each medical facility that you are contracted to.


Check your email during working hours. Use a watch to tell time. Look up directions ahead of time and write them down. Check the weather before you go out rather than checking it on your phone. Make plans for meetings in advance. Bring a camera with you if you want to take photos. Carry a book with you to have something to do.

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

Most people keep a smart phone on hand at all times to respond instantly to work- or school-related emails. If you can, limit yourself to checking and replying to emails during working hours (around 9am-5pm). Tell your boss and coworkers that if they contact you outside of those hours, they can expect you to reply the next morning.  This also helps create boundaries between your work life and home life. If you absolutely need to check your email outside of working hours, use a laptop or desktop computer. It's simple but effective to invest in a wristwatch to tell time throughout the day. Using a watch means you won't have to look at your phone to check the time, which can lead to checking notifications or scrolling through time-sucking apps.  Look for a watch that also keeps track of the date to be able to check it without relying on your phone. Use an alarm clock to wake up on time rather than using your phone's alarm. Alternatively, find clocks while you are out and about. Many stores and banks display the time, date, and temperature. If all else fails, ask someone for the time or date if you really need to know. If you're going somewhere new, use a computer to look up directions ahead of time. Either memorize the directions, if you can, or write them down, making note of any landmarks you need to look out for. If you get turned around, don't be afraid to ask someone for help to point you in the right direction. For longer road trips, consider investing in a GPS if you are worried about getting lost. Watch the news or check the weather to see the forecast for the upcoming day or days rather than checking the weather on your phone. If there is a chance of rain or cold weather, make sure to layer up and bring an umbrella with you. If the weather is unpredictable where you live, it's always a good idea to bring some light layers and an umbrella with you, regardless of what the forecast says. While it can be convenient to text someone and arrange plans within a matter of minutes, it also ties you to your phone....


Check your email. Search for a pet name. Find your account name on your pet page. Send a password or username reminder to your email.

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

If you still have the email address you originally signed up with, search for "Neopets" in your inbox or archived mail. The original signup email will at least tell you the name and email address associated with your account. It may give you other info as well, depending on when you signed up. Visit the home page of the Neopets site. Find the search bar on the left side of the page, and type in the name of your Neopet. If you get the name right, click your Neopet to visit its statistics page. Look for the "Owner" information on your pet's statistics page and write it down. The first part is the name you used to sign up. The second part (linked and inside parentheses) is your account name. Use your account name when you try to log in. If your log in fails because you can't remember your account info, enter your email under the "Forgot your password?" or "Forgot Your Username?" section. If you can log in to that email, you should see a password reset email arrive within fifteen minutes. Very old accounts did not require email accounts to sign up. Skip this step if you didn't have an email address back when you joined Neopets.


Check your employee handbook for rules on pranks. Keep your pranks reasonable. Select the right targets. Choose the right time, place, and situation.

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

Before you pull any pranks, it's a good idea to make sure that your office doesn't strictly prohibit or restrict pranks in the workplace. Then double check the rules to make sure that your prank wouldn't constitute any kind of dismissible or reprimandable offense.  Make sure your pranks would not be considered harassment (including sexual harassment). If you're unclear on the rules or unsure about whether a prank would be allowed in the workplace, it's best to talk to your supervisor to get permission first. Describe the types of pranks you're planning and see what he or she says. When you devise a prank to play on a coworker, it's important to choose pranks that you wouldn't mind receiving. Think of it as treating others the way you want to be treated, since your coworkers will most likely retaliate.  If you're going to dish out pranks, you'll need to anticipate pranks in return. A good gauge is to ask yourself, "Would I be upset at all if someone did this to me?" (And someone almost certainly will.) Think about any possible repercussions that might arise from your prank.  Avoid any pranks involving race, religion, or sex. You should also generally avoid any pranks that might make someone uncomfortable. It's always important to make sure you pull pranks on the right people - someone you know well, someone whose sense of humor you know well, or a regular office prankster. In really serious cases, a prank could even get you in trouble, so it's important to be aware of whom you play pranks on and how intense they get.  Do not play a prank on anyone you've had tension or feuds with in the past, as a prank may set that individual off. Avoid pranking your boss unless you know him or her extraordinarily well and can pull off a prank that won't challenge his/her authority. Without some type of close, personal relationship with your boss, your pranks could land you in hot water.  Don't prank anyone who is considered vulnerable or easily upset. This could create a very negative situation at your office and may result...


Check your existing drives. Bring up the partition page. Delete the hard drive's contents. Create a "swap" partition. Create your main hard drive partition. Label the "swap" partition. Note the names of your partitions. Exit the "cfdisk" utility. Format your primary partition. Mount the formatted partition. Add a swap file to the "swap" partition.

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

You'll have at least two drives available: your computer's hard drive, and the Arch Linux installation media. To check your current drives:  Type in fdisk -l and press ↵ Enter. Find the name of the largest hard drive on the results screen. The name will be something like "/dev/sda" and can be found to the right of the "Disk" heading. Type in cfdisk [drive name], making sure to replace [drive name] with your hard drive's name, and press ↵ Enter, then select DOS and press ↵ Enter again. For example: if the drive is named "/dev/sda", you would type cfdisk /dev/sda into the terminal. Select a partition in the middle of the screen, select Delete at the bottom of the screen, press ↵ Enter, and repeat for any other partitions in the middle of the screen. You should ultimately be left with a line entitled Pri/Log    Free Space. This partition will function as your system's backup memory if and when you are consuming all of your RAM.   To do so:  Select New and press ↵ Enter. Select Primary and press ↵ Enter. Type in a number of megabytes (e.g., 1024 for one gigabyte) and press ↵ Enter. As a rule of thumb, you should make the swap partition 2 or 3 times your RAM (e.g., if you have 4 gigabytes of RAM, you should make the swap partition 8192 or 12288 megabytes). Select End and press ↵ Enter. This is the partition on which your Arch Linux operating system, files, and other information will be stored. To do this:  Make sure that the Pri/Log    Free Space partition is selected. Select New and press ↵ Enter. Select Primary and press ↵ Enter. Make sure that the number next to the "Size (in MB)" heading is correct. Press ↵ Enter. Select the primary partition again. Select Bootable and press ↵ Enter. This will set it as your system's RAM:  Select the "swap" partition. Select Type and press ↵ Enter. Type in 82 and press ↵ Enter. With the "swap" partition still selected, select Write and press ↵ Enter. Type in yes and press ↵ Enter. In the "Name" column on the far-left side of the screen, you should see a name (e.g., "sda1")...


Check your finances to see how much of a down payment you can afford. Decide what you can afford. Research financial institutions. Consider rent to own loans.

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

A down payment is money you pay for the home before applying a loan. This will make your monthly loan payments smaller so the more you can put down the better. Many financial companies require a down payment of a certain amount, such as 5 percent. Home loans include interest and can be paid back over different amounts of time depending on the terms, so the monthly payments can be very different with different loans. Decide what monthly payments you can afford, and then use a loan calculator to find out how much you can finance.  It is a good rule to keep your home loan payment to under 30 percent of your net income. The payment should include money for the loan, the taxes, and any insurance on the home. The total of these should be under 30 percent of your net income. The total cost of a mobile home, land, delivery, and land preparation can cost between $75,000 to $300,000, and sometimes even more if you get all of the upgrades. Many different institutions offer loans to buy a mobile home, but they all will have different terms so make sure you do your research before committing.  Some larger financial institutions don’t do loans for mobile homes so you may have to look at smaller banks and credit unions. Local financial institutions might be best to get a good loan on a mobile home. The government issues loans for mobile homes for qualified individuals from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Visit their website to find out their qualifications for a loan. Some financial institutions will have the option of rent to own loans. Theses loans let you pay a higher rent payment that let’s you end up owning the home. In a rent to own home, the buyer gets to move into the house before purchasing it. The buyer pays the seller monthly rent money while securing the money to purchase the home when the rent period is up. Some rent to own agreements let the buyer have the option of not buying the home when the lease contract is up, but some are binding agreements that the buyer will definitely purchase the...


Check your financial statements again. Create a consolidated balance sheet. Create a consolidated income statement.

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

Before combining them it's best to check the financial statements you will be using to ensure that they are for the same fiscal period. If not, you'll want to adjust them now. Going back and adjusting for this later will be much more work. In addition, check your financial statements for any missing information and seek to correct this before beginning to consolidate them. Consolidate financial statements by creating a balance sheet that reflects a sum of net worth, assets and liabilities. This is done by simply adding together the separate values from the balance sheets of the parent company and the subsidiaries. The balance sheet will include assets like cash, receivables, and land, as well as liabilities like payable accounts and loans. For example, if the parent has $30,000 in cash and the subsidiary has $15,000 in cash, the consolidated balance sheet would show $45,000 in cash. This document will include all revenues earned and expenses incurred by the parent company and its subsidiaries. Like the consolidated balance sheet, this is done by simply adding the values from the companies' independent income statements together. Included values are measures of money earned, including sales and net income, and also measures of expenses like cost of goods sold and wage expense. For example, if the parent company incurred $45,000 in income expense and the subsidiary incurred $20,000 in income expense, the consolidated income statement would show $65,000 in interest expense.


Check your fire extinguishers to find active ingredients. Don’t buy aerosol products with chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). Dispose of pre-1995 refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioning units properly. Buy lumber, wood products and plywood that were not treated with methyl bromide.

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

If “halon” or “halogenated hydrocarbon” is the main ingredient, find a hazardous waste center at which to recycle it or call your local fire department for instructions on how to dispose of it. Replace it with a model without this harmful ozone-depleting chemical. Although CFCs have been banned or reduced in many applications, the only way to be sure is to check the label on all your hairsprays, deodorants and household chemicals. Opt for pump spray products over pressurized cans, to further reduce your chance of buying CFCs. These devices use chlorofluorocarbons to function, so leaks release the chemical into the atmosphere.  Call your local utility company to see if there is a bounty program in your area that your appliance qualifies for.  If not, contact your municipal department of public works to ask how to dispose of refrigerated appliances in your neighborhood. Wood treated with this pesticide will “off gas” elemental bromine that depletes the ozone layer. All pallets or crates carry a stamp that shows how they were treated: HT indicates they were heat treated while MB means methyl bromide was used. For other woods, ask the person who is selling to you how the wood was treated. Researching and choosing construction products that don’t employ bromomethane could be just as important as stopping the use of CFCs at home, since elemental bromine has been found to be more toxic to the ozone layer.


Check your gift card balance before you start the payment process. Purchase from a retailer based in the United States or Puerto Rico. Enter the card information on the Payment Method page to check out. Provide the correct shipping address to receive your items without issue.

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

It's important to check your balance before buying something online, since most online merchants will decline the purchase if the total exceeds the balance on your card. You can check your balance at www.americanexpress.com or www.balance.amexgiftcard.com.  Online merchants typically aren't set up to do split payment transactions, which is why the card will be declined. You may be able to call the merchant directly and do a split payment over the phone to complete your purchase, but it depends on the merchant. If you try to use your American Express gift card online to pay for something overseas, you will run into problems and probably be declined. Typically, only merchants and retailers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands accept American Express Cards. Online purchases with an American Express gift card are just like any other kind of credit or debit card purchase. Enter your name, the 15-digit card number, expiration date, and the 4-digit security code when the site prompts you to enter the payment information. To avoid any issues with your shipment, be sure to enter your shipping information correctly. This is your regular home address that you use for any other online purchase, which includes your name, street address, city, state, and zip code. If you're shipping the items directly to someone else, enter their shipping address instead of yours. This shouldn't cause any issue, because the gift card is not registered to your home address.


Check your hand position.

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

Hold the thick end of the cue in your dominant hand with your palm facing upward.  Find the spot on the wrap where the cue evenly balances. Grip your cue about 1" behind that spot. Make a circle with the thumb and index finger of your non-dominant hand. Put the cue through the circle and rest it on the top of your middle finger, behind the knuckle.  Spread out your "pinky", ring and middle finger tips to create a tripod-like support. Place the ridge of your hand should on the table. Lift the other side of your hand a bit higher.


Check your heart rate during a workout session. Base the intensity of your physical activity on your THR. Judge how your body responds.

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

In order to do this, stop exercising and immediately check your pulse by counting your heartbeats for 10 seconds. Resume exercise and multiply the number of beats per 10 seconds (your pulse) by 6 and you'll have your heart rate (beats per 60 seconds, that is beats per minute). A more accurate way of doing this is by using a heart monitor to get heart rate readings during a workout session. You can determine whether the intensity of your physical activity is low, moderate or high by measuring the workout heart rate (bpm) against your THR. If your heart rate falls into the middle of your THR range or corresponds to your average THR, that means you're exercising at moderate intensity (roughly 50 to 70% of your HRmax). If it verges toward the upper limit, you're exercising at high intensity (70 to 85% of your HRmax).  If you have just started working out, aim for a low to moderate intensity. You can increase it as your body gets used to exercising.  Your heart rate should also be in the lower range of your THR when you are warming up or cooling down. As you exercise, make sure your heart rate never goes beyond your maximum heart rate. This formula will give a good estimate for most people, but it's not foolproof. Pay attention to how your body responds when you reach the target heart rate you calculated. Adjust your target heart rate if necessary based on your observations:  Moderate exercise (the lower end of your target) should cause mild to moderate sweating and faster breathing. You may have mild muscle aches for a day or two if you are not used to exercise. Vigorous exercise (the upper end) causes hard breathing — you must pause for breath after a few words. Stop exercising and seek medical help if you experience breathing problems, chest pain, severe muscle or joint pain, dizziness, extreme sweating, or extreme fatigue. Lower your target heart rate in future.

Check your interfacing. Sew on the interfacing.

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

Before applying your interfacing to the fabric, double-check that it has been been preshrunk either by the manufacturer or by you. Also, depending on if you purchased sewable or fusible interfacing, be sure to follow the specific instructions for that type. If you bought interfacing that has no glue, and was made to be stitched on, you will have to sew it to the fabric. This is a good option if you purchased a tie fabric that is sensitive to heat. You can sew on the interfacing by hand using a needle and thread or a sewing machine. Sew the interfacing to the "wrong" side of the tie fabric, and go around the entire edge of the tie.


Check your intonation using a chromatic tuner. Learn more precise tuning methods. Examine your frets. Adjust your string quality and gauge. Evaluate your playing technique. Prevent intonation problems by storing your guitar properly.

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

A chromatic tuner provides an electronic readout of the exact note that each string is playing. If your intonation is correct, the tone produced when you fret the 12th fret and pluck the string should be the same tone exactly one octave higher than the open string.  You can buy a chromatic tuner at any guitar store relatively cheaply, if you don't already have one. There also are a number of mobile phone apps that offer a chromatic tuner, although these may not be as exact as a physical tuner. Any guitar bought off the shelf, no matter how expensive, may have intonation problems. If possible, run this check before you buy a new guitar. Different tuning methods may enable you to correct intonation problems without changing the set-up of your guitar. You might try using harmonics to tune the guitar to itself. When the strings are tuned, fret each string at the 12th fret. It should produce a sound exactly one octave higher than the pitch at the open string. If the pitch is off, your intonation is off. If your frets are worn down or dirty, this could cause your guitar to have intonation problems. If the crown of a fret is flat, or if it has grooves in it, the string length will be affected, which can change the pitch of the note played. If you notice any worn or damaged frets, take your guitar to a luthier for repair. Do not attempt to replace the frets yourself unless you have experience doing so, as you could permanently damage your guitar. The strings you're using affect the quality of sound your guitar produces. Old or poor-quality strings can ruin your guitar's intonation. If you put strings of a heavier gauge on your guitar, that also can damage the guitar's tone.  Check the materials that came with your guitar or talk to an experienced luthier to determine the correct gauge of strings for your guitar. When you buy a new set of strings, check the actual gauge carefully. Different brands have different categories and systems of organization, so one brand of "light" strings won't necessarily be the same gauge...


Check your jacket pockets and remove all items. Zip your jacket up and button or fasten all straps. Wipe off all visible debris with a brush or washcloth. Check the care label for additional instructions.

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

Sending a jacket through the washing machine without emptying its pockets can result in damaged belongings. After you've checked all pockets on the outside, remember to check pockets on the inside of the jacket to make sure you don't forget anything. Open straps and zippers can snag in the washer and rip your jacket. Inspect your jacket carefully to make sure you've done up all the zippers and buttoned down every strap.  Check for removable trimmings (like hoods or collars) and remove them before putting your jacket in the washer. Inspect your jacket for rips and tears. Sew all rips before putting your jacket in the washer. Before you put your jacket in the washer, you'll want to remove as much dirt and grit as you can. Use a dirt brush or a microfiber cloth to scrub your jacket in circular motions. When you can no longer remove any debris, your jacket is ready to go in the washer. While most rain jackets will follow a similar washing routine, some may be made from fabrics that require additional instructions. Read the jacket's care label to make sure you don't miss any instructions unique to your jacket. If the jacket is non-machine washable, for example, you will need to clean it by hand.


Check your latest credit card statement to see how much cash you can withdraw and the terms you will need to agree to when taking out a cash advance. Request cash advance checks from your credit card company. Fill out the check. Go to your bank or a bank that displays the logo of your credit card company.

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

Depending on your card, your cash advance limit may be the same as your total credit limit available or a much smaller amount. When you take out a cash advance you are usually charged a one time fee and a very high interest rate that is higher than your interest rate on basic purchases. If at all possible, it may make more financial sense to avoid taking out cash advances. In fact, many times your credit card company will send them to you unsolicited, so you may not even need to request them. These will arrive in the mail and they look very similar to a personal check, with your information, including your account information, on them.  If you're sent cash advance checks without asking for them, remember that you are under no obligation to use these checks, but you should always shred or otherwise destroy them. They have your personal and account information on them and could be used to commit identity theft or fraudulent charges on your account. When you request the cash-advance check it might arrive blank and then you will need to fill it out or the card issuer might also ask you to specify the amount of each check and who it should be made out to over the phone. Sometimes credit card companies send cash advance checks that have a low promotional rates that have the same interest rates as your regular credit purchases. Be sure to use these if you really need to take out a cash advance and you have them available. If you want cash, simply make it payable to "cash" and sign it as usual. Cash advance checks can also be used to pay for non-cash transactions, such as paying rent, basically anything you would use a personal check for. The only difference is that these checks are drawing money from your credit line, instead of your checking account. Give your check to the teller and, if it is approved and the money isn't held for a few days while the check clears, tell the teller what denominations you would like your cash in. The teller will give you the money and you will be all done! Some banks may hold cash...


Check your legs to see in which direction your hair is growing. Test the temperature of the wax by applying a little to your hand. Repeat until your entire leg is hair free.

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

See if the hair is growing all in one direction or in different patches. You are going to have to apply the wax and waxing strip in the direction of your hair growth. If it feels warm, let it cool a bit more. An easy way to test when to use it is to stir it - if its too runny then chances are you must wait more. Hopefully the process doesn’t take too long, but make sure that you are being thorough. There’s nothing worse than checking to see you missed a spot a few days later.  Pull the skin taut by holding down on any loose skin with your hands.


Check your loan agreement for early payoff terms. Contact your lender for a payoff quote. Assess your savings and budget. Pay your lender the payoff amount. Follow up with your lender to close the account.

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

Your loan agreement specifies whether any penalty is assessed for paying off your loan early. In some cases, you may be required to pay the full amount of the principal and interest – even if you close out the loan before the end of its term.  Check the agreement for an item titled "early payoff" or something similar. Read that item carefully. If you don't understand it, contact your lender for an explanation. Your most recent loan statement may include a balance owed on your loan. However, this amount may differ significantly from the amount of money you would need to payoff the loan in full before the end of the loan's term. Depending on how interest is calculated and any penalties assessed, the amount required to payoff your loan may be different from the balance reported on your most recent statement. Lenders will provide payoff quotes, which are only good for a limited period, usually between 30 and 90 days. If you want to keep your car but need to pay off your car loan, you'll need to find the money to pay the amount your lender quoted for payoff. You don't want paying off the loan to put you in a worse situation financially, especially if you're already struggling to make your monthly payments.  If you won't save any money in interest by paying your loan off early, you'll generally be better off if you figure out how to make the payments for the duration of the loan. If it doesn't make sense for you to pay off your loan all at once, talk to your lender about options to make additional payments to pay down your principal. For example, you could make a full payment the first week of each month, and then make a half payment the third week of each month that went entirely towards principal. If you decide to pay off your loan early, use the payoff quote to determine how much you need to pay. Stay in communication with your lender, and make sure they know that you are paying off your loan in full.  Don't rely on a payoff quote more than 30 days old. To protect yourself, it's best to call and get a new quote...


Check your loan options. Decide how long you want your loan to be. Compare loan rates over the internet. Apply for approval from different companies.

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

A number of loans are designed to help specific segments of the population, such as first-time home buyers, veterans, and even graduates. These loans offer varying benefits, such as not having to make a down payment and possibly better interest rates. When shopping for a loan, ask about special programs that could benefit you. The most common loan lengths are 15-year and 30-year mortgages. With a 30-year mortgage, you'll have a lower monthly payment, but you'll pay a larger amount over the life of the loan. The monthly payment on a 15-year loan will obviously be higher, but you'll generally get a better interest rate. Also, you'll build up equity much faster.  For instance, if you are buying a $150,000 USD house with a 20% down payment and 4% interest rate, you'll pay $572.90 USD per month with a 30-year loan. Over the life of the loan, you'd pay $236,243.41 USD. Keep in mind, this payment is just for the mortgage, not for anything extra like property taxes or private mortgage insurance. With the same parameters, you'd pay $887.63 USD per month on a 15-year loan, and $189,772.59 USD over the life of the loan. Be wary of adjustable rate mortgages (ARM). These can entice you with low rates at the beginning of the mortgage, but these rates will rise as the market grows. ARMs are only good if you will only own the home for a short period. The interest rate on your loan is extremely important. A difference of a percentage point in the interest rate can change your monthly payment by as much as $50 to $60 USD. Therefore, finding a low interest rate with a reputable company is ideal.  Check the Better Business Bureau to make sure the company is reputable. You can use a site like https://www.moneyunder30.com/mortgage-rates to compare rates. Factor discount points in your decision. Discount points are fees you pay at closing to reduce the interest rate. In some cases, you may be able to negotiate with the seller to pay certain closing costs. In this case, you may be able to ask the seller to pay for any discount...


Check your local building codes. Avoid underground utility lines and overhead power cables. Stay away from trees and stumps. Consider the drainage in the area. Mark off an area with a diameter 2 feet (61 cm) larger than your pool.

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

Choose the flattest spot possible, but make sure you comply with local codes. Check if your pool needs to be a minimum distance from property lines, septic tanks, and roads.  Contact your local recorder's or assessor's office if you need to find your property lines. Run an online search or look for applicable codes on your city's, state's, or province’s government website. If you have a homeowner’s association, it’s also wise to check its bylaws. Make sure your pool is not close to an easement or setback where workers might need to access power or other utility lines. Check to see if your pool might be in a conservation area if your property borders a forest. If you’re not sure where your gas lines and other underground cables are, call your utility company. In addition, make sure your spot isn’t under power cables. If your pool is under a tree, more leaves and bugs will fall into it. Aside from being unsightly, debris could affect the pool’s chemistry and make it harder to maintain. Further, trees' root systems could get in the way of leveling the site, and even if the tree is a stump it will be difficult to remove.  Setting your pool beyond a tree's farthest branches should be a far enough distance if the tree is established. For younger trees, you can calculate the size of the root system to be on the safe side. Younger trees have thirstier roots, which could extend up to 38 times the trunk diameter. If a young tree's trunk is 6 inches (15 cm) across, its roots could extend over 19 feet (5.8 m).  Most older trees' root systems only extend about as far as its canopy. It is important to make sure that the area where you want to put the pool has good drainage, or you could end up with a swamp in your backyard. Pay attention to how well the water drains after a heavy rain. If possible, avoid areas that stay waterlogged for long periods, or you can divert the water before putting in the pool. Once you’ve chosen a suitable spot, place a stake in the ground at its center. Divide your pool’s diameter by 2 to find...


Check your local court's website to see if they accept online payments. Look up your fees by case number. Select your case and navigate to the payment screen. Pay your fee with a credit card, debit card, or electronic check.

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

Most courts in the U.S. will allow you to pay your fees online. Not all are set up to do so, though, so check your local court's website to make sure your courts are set up to accept online fee payments. Most court websites will have a button directly on the homepage that will link to their online fee payment system.  Some court systems will allow you to pay some fees online, but not all. Check with your specific court (such as District Court or Juvenile Court) to see what fees they will accept online. Keep in mind that many courts charge a fee for processing online payments. If your court is set up to take online fee payments, you will need to look up your specific case by your case number. This will generally be noted on your ticket or court documents. Some courts may also require you to provide personal information like your name and address to help look up your fees.  If your fees are for a traffic ticket, you'll need to use your "ticket number" or driver's license number instead of a case number. If you cannot find your case number on your documents, you may also be able to look up your case using your first and last name through your court's records website. Once you have looked up your case, click your case number or the "view details" link to access your case details. From this page, there should be a link or button that connects you to the court's payment system. This link may say something like, “Pay Citations Online” or “Pay Court Fees.” At the payment screen, you will need to select a payment method. These typically include credit card, debit card, or electronic check. If you opt to pay by credit or debit card, you will need to input your card information including card number, cvv code, and billing address. If you choose to pay by electronic check, you will need to provide both your bank account number and your bank routing number.  Your bank account and routing numbers can typically be found online when you log into your bank account. They can also be found on the bottom of your checks. Choosing...


Check your local guidelines for the pheasant hunting season start and end dates. Review a list of public hunting grounds and availability. Hunt right after the first cold spell of the season, or after rain. Focus on hunting in the early morning and twilight hours. Hunt near water sources, both natural and man-made, particularly if you are hunting early in the season. Consider private hunting clubs.

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

It’s usually in the late fall through the early winter, but the specific dates can change based on where you live. The best pheasant hunting in the U.S. is in the Midwest and Plains states like Iowa or South Dakota, although pheasants can be found in other parts of the country. You can't just hunt anywhere.  Public grounds often provide good hunting during cold weather or later in the season, but you will be competing with many other hunters, as well as their car doors and noisy friends possibly scaring off the birds. Public grounds can be more challenging, and more dangerous since there will be less control over who is there and what they are doing. Arrive early, and try to find less popular spots. Dogs can smell better in cold, wet environments. It’s also easier to track pheasants in mud and snow. The birds are out looking for food in lighter cover at those times and are more easily located. If the weather has been dry, the birds will gather near water. They offer several benefits, including guides.  They often begin earlier than hunting season on public lands, so you can practice with your dog. This is particularly useful for young dogs who need more training. You will have the opportunity to get comfortable with your gun, and you can practice shooting clay pigeons, which requires shooting ahead of your target. Clubs offer a variety of cover to experience. Clubs release the birds throughout the day and you can request varying degrees of difficulty.


Check your local laws about planting trees. Choose a species of tree that can survive in your area. Consider the terrain to find the best location to plant your tree. Plant your tree either in the fall or in the spring.

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

Your area may have specific laws or zoning ordinances about digging holes and planting trees. Go online or call your local government office to make sure you are allowed to dig holes and plant trees before you start. You could face a hefty fine or have your tree torn down if you fail to follow local laws.  Even if you’re planting on your own private property, you need to check your local laws. There may be restrictions on where you can dig a hole and what type of trees you can plant. Most laws are designed to prevent people from digging near telephone poles or underground cables. Make sure you know where these cables are before you dig! If you live in the US, you can call 811 to see if there are underground cables near you. Select a species of tree based on the soil, climate, and landscape of the area you want to plant it. Before you choose the tree you want to plant, make sure it can survive and thrive where you want to plant it.  Check the Plant Hardiness Zones to see what zone your area falls in: https://www.arborday.org/trees/index-choosing.cfm. Visit a local nursery to ask what trees will do well in your area. Look at trees in your area that you like and appear to be doing well. If you can’t identify the species, take a photo or a clipping and bring it to a nursery or look online to try to identify it. You need to take into account factors like the slope of your land, drainage, and the room your tree will need to grow when you’re deciding where to plant your tree. Choosing a poor location can result in the tree’s roots or branches being too close to structures or damaging underground plumbing.  Check to see how much sunlight the area gets so your tree will receive enough. Make sure your tree won’t grow into a neighbor’s property. Look for an area that will give your tree room to grow without killing other plants and trees near it. Many trees and shrubs grown in containers will adapt to the soil best if they’re planted in the fall. But some species of trees like oaks, beeches, and birches will adapt...


Check your local regulations to see which fireworks are allowed. Scout out your spot so you’ll know how much room you have for the show. Write out a plan for the order of your show. Build or purchase a trough to hold your fireworks. Set up your fireworks during the day. Place your shells in the order and direction you want them to fire. Separate shells by at least the same distance as their own diameter. Set up smaller fireworks in front and big items farthest from the audience. Connect your fireworks with a fuse. Use an electric detonator if you don't want to light the fuses by hand. Have plenty of water nearby.

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

Since fireworks can present a safety hazard, you might be prohibited from using certain kinds depending on where you live, or you may be required to purchase a permit.  For instance, although most states in the U.S. allow the use of consumer fireworks (also known as Class C or 1.4G), New Jersey prohibits the use of aerial fireworks and firecrackers. Some cities don't allow any fireworks. You may also be limited on when you can use the fireworks. For instance, in Indiana, fireworks may not be used after 11:00 p.m. or before 9:00 a.m., except on holidays, when the time is extended to midnight. Fireworks should not come within 25 feet (7.6 m) of any overhead object, and your spectators should be located at least 50 feet (15 m) from your fireworks.  The minimum distance for spectators may vary depending on your location. For instance, in Missouri, the distance is 70 feet per inch (roughly 10 meters for every centimeter) of the internal mortar diameter of the largest shell you will be firing. In this case, a show closing with a mortar that is 2 inches (5.1 cm) in diameter would require a spectator distance of 140 feet (43 m)   Make sure you pick a flat, open area that doesn’t have any dry grass, dead leaves, nearby buildings, trees, or other fire hazards. Make sure anyone who will be helping you has a copy of the plan. For the most impact during your show, rotate your fireworks effects and plan for as few gaps as possible.  Most fireworks effects should be rotated at least every minute or so. Plan to only fire a few shells at a time. If you fire too many, the effects will be lost. A trough is a structure filled with sand or soft earth in which fireworks can be safely positioned. You can build your trough out of plywood or use large crates. Make sure your sand or dirt is free from any rocks or other items which can become dangerous during an explosion.  Reinforce or brace your trough with brackets or heavy lumber. Secure your trough with stakes or spikes, or use an A-frame to prevent it from tipping over.  If you...


Check your local regulations. Install a clothesline. Keep your clothesline clean. Add a clothes rack. Get a clothes horse.

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

In some places, clotheslines are forbidden on balconies and in backyards because the sight of clothes hanging out to dry is considered "unsightly" and liable to bring down property prices. So, you'll need to know the local rules first, including that of the local homeowner's association. If you live in an area where this is an issue, you might like to join those advocating for relaxation of such rules so that you can save money and energy too. This can be as simple as one you put up yourself by stretching a nylon rope between two wooden posts. There are also retractable clotheslines, freestanding-frame rotary (umbrella) clotheslines, and pulley clotheslines for loading clothes from a fixed location.  A variety of materials, such as paracord, plastic rope and cotton or Hemp Cording will work well for a clothesline.  Be careful about which trees you use for the ends of your clotheslines. Conifers drip sap, and some are common roosting places for pigeons. If your clothesline is not wiped down regularly, it will accumulate dirt, sap, and other soiling over time. Naturally, this can transfer onto your "clean" clothes, so to prevent this from happening, give the clothesline a quick wipe-down with a kitchen sponge and a bit of detergent and water every month and allow it to dry before using. Also clean the clothespins regularly, as they can sometimes get dirty, or even build up soap residue. Throw out broken ones, and remember that you can never have too many clothespins, so replace them regularly as well. These days, there are excellent foldaway rack options available made from lovely new materials that won't snag your clothes. Alternately, you could put a table near the clothesline for items that must be laid flat to dry rather than hung up. An old folding table can be easily turned into a sweater-drying stand. Simply remove the table top and replace with nylon netting (or a similar waterproof surface). The beauty of this is that it can be easily folded away when not in use! This can be used for a variety of...


Check your local regulations. Talk to your neighbors. Manage the noise and odor. Keep your chickens safe from rodents. Watch for signs of disease.

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

You can check regulations at a courthouse or on your city's government website. There may be different rules and regulations regarding keeping livestock. You may only be allowed a set number of chickens, or you may have to keep your chickens a certain distance from your home or your neighbor's home. Unfortunately, some cities may not allow you to house livestock at all, so you may not be able to keep chickens in your city. It's a good idea to talk things over with your neighbors before getting chickens. This is especially important if you live in area where houses are close together. Your neighbors may have some concerns, which you can talk over with them. You also do not want your neighbors to be alarmed by unusual noises coming from your home.  Say something to your neighbors like, "Just a head's up, but I'm planning on getting chickens. I just wanted to let you know so you can come to me with any questions or concerns." Be sure to tell your neighbors you are getting hens, not roosters, which are much noisier. Since roosters can be noisy, they may be included in your city's noise regulations. Chickens also generate a smell, so work on keeping these issues under control.  Do not keep more than 5 chickens in the city at once. More than 5 chickens is likely to generate a lot of noise and smell. Make sure to clean out things like droppings once a day. This will minimize unpleasant odors. You may want to put up a fence around your yard to block some noise from your chickens. Rodents can be a major problem in the city and may attack chickens. If your city has a rat or other rodent problem, you need to keep your chickens safe. Sweep the coop daily and keep leftover food off the ground. A solid fence outside the coop can also keep your chickens safe from predators. In a city, chickens may develop illnesses due to things like smog and car exhaust. Some possible symptoms to look for indicating injury, illness, or disease include things like coughing, wheezing, and labored breathing. Serious illnesses may be marked by...


Check your mirrors before parking. Give yourself plenty of space. Park slowly and brake early. Pull in to wide open spots. Avoid overshooting or undercutting your turn. Straighten your vehicle with a three-point turn. Pull into your spot evenly out of your three-point turn.

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

Poorly adjusted mirrors could result in you losing perspective while parking. This can hurt your ability to gauge the distance between your vehicles and obstructions. You’ll want as clear and complete a view of the area around your vehicle as possible.  Even if you are more confident in your parking skills, you should always double check your blind spots to ensure you don’t back into kids, pedestrians, or moving objects, like strollers and shopping carts. Larger vehicles may have additional mirror mounted to the body of the vehicle to improve visibility. These additional mirrors can be easily forgotten by casual large vehicle drivers. Check these regularly when parking. The more space you have to pull into your spot, the more space you’ll have to maneuver and make adjustments while parking. You might give yourself more space by parking in an empty part of a parking lot, or you could also choose a spot that is surrounded by smaller, more compact vehicles. Smaller vehicles on either side of your large truck will take up less space in their own parking spot, giving you more leeway as you park. The increased weight of a large vehicle will require you to brake sooner than you would for a normal car, especially if you have a heavy load you are transporting. Taking your time when parking your large vehicle can prevent costly errors, like damaging cars around you or hitting a parking barrier. This is perhaps the safest route if you are less confidant in your large vehicle parking ability. Choose a location of the parking area that is free of other cars. Cut your wheel in the direction you are turning to move into the spot.  You may notice your front end swinging over the parking spot lines into the spot beside you. This is due to the fact that larger vehicles require a wider turning radius to complete turns.   You may need to adjust your vehicle in your space after pulling in. Put your vehicle in reverse, check your mirrors and blind spots, then back up. When you pull back into your spot after backing out, adjust...


Check your natural point of aim. Align the rifle sight. Focus your eye. Check your sight picture. Control your breathing. Squeeze the trigger. Follow through.

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

Having oriented yourself in the general direction of the target and relaxed in a steady position, your rifle should be oriented mostly on-target without much more effort on your part. This is called your "natural point of aim" and is a sign of proper technique. If, when you relax your muscles in your steady position and let your cheek weld to the stock, you have to expend effort to twist your body around even slightly to get the sight directly on target, this is a sign you need to reposition yourself. Abandon your position and realign yourself properly. A basic aperture-sighted rifle (i.e., there's no scope on the rifle) – often called "iron sights" – consists of two parts, a front sight post or "bead" near the tip of the rifle's barrel and an aperture or "crook" about halfway up the barrel. Before you worry about your target, you need to align the bead in the crook to ensure that the rifle is "sighted." Any error here in alignment multiplies exponentially when the bullet leaves the gun.  If you've got good cheek-to-stock weld, the sighting post should align in the aperture without much difficulty. Reposition your neck slightly if you need to. If you're using a telescopic sight, the principle will be essentially the same. Make sure that your eye is the proper distance back from the scope, far enough to avoid recoil and aligned properly so there are no "shadows" in the scope's vision. Make sure your scope is properly sighted before firing and that your front sight post is blackened and matte, not reflective. Use gun blacking or pencil lead to blacken. Align your eye with and focus on the front sight post. When you're trying to balance your elbows on your knees and breathe evenly and keep the stock tight and keep a little bead in a little aperture on a tiny target 50 yards (45.7 m) away, it can get frustrating: What do you even focus on? The short answer is the bead, not the target. Trust that you're in the right position, relax, and focus on the bead. If you're in proper position and you've aligned the sight,...

Check your owner's manual for the recommended power steering flush schedule. Check your power steering fluid reservoir monthly to check for leaks. Check the color and consistency of your power steering fluid. Bring your car to the mechanic if you hear a whining or moaning noise when turning.

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

Your power steering system is actually remarkable at staying clean. That said, over time natural wear and tear will cause bits of rubber, plastic, and dirt to enter the fluid, and this can cause problems to the entire system if the fluid is not flushed. Each car has it's own suggested interval after which you should change the fluid, so look up your model's time frame. For high-end cars, you should consider replacing the fluid every 35-40 thousand miles. Your power steering fluid level should barely change from month to month. If it is changing, then you likely have a leak and should bring your car to an auto shop as soon as possible. Your reservoir usually has a labeled cap or a picture of a steering wheel. If you are having trouble locating this semi-transparent plastic tank, check your owner's manual. Open the reservoir and use a flashlight to peer down into the fluid. The consistency, color, and smell will tell you whether or not you need to change your fluid:   Flush your fluid if it smells burnt, looks dark brown or black, and/or has shiny, metallic bits in it.   Refresh you fluid if it is darkly colored, your owner's manual recommends it, and/or if you do frequent towing or high-weight driving.  Your fluid is fine if is is lightly colored, dark without metallic bits or chunks, or was replaced in the last two to three years. This could be the sign of more serious, and expensive, power steering problems. The sooner you take care of the issue, the easier and cheaper the repair will be.


Check your owner's manual for the types of fluid you can check at home. Park your car on level ground. Find the engine oil dipstick. Find your engine coolant tank. Locate your power steering fluid tank. Make sure the fluid is warm. Turn the engine back off. Remove the power steering cap by turning it counter-clockwise. Track down your master cylinder (brakes) reservoir. Check your windshield washer tank.

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

The manual should also tell you how much of each fluid you need, and the type of antifreeze your car uses. If one of the warning lights is lit on your dashboard, you can check the manual for what the light indicates (usually oil or coolant). When one of these lights are on, it is a sign that a leak is possible. If you are pointing uphill or downhill the fluid in your tanks may read more or less than is actually there. It is important to check fluids on level ground. In many vehicles it usually has a yellow handle. If you have difficulty locating the dipstick, look in your owner's manual.  Pull out the dipstick, wipe it off with a paper towel or rag, and reinsert it. Pull the dipstick out again and examine it horizontally. There are two indicator marks, one is the top level and the other the lower level. The amount of oil should be between these two marks.  Wipe off the dipstick with a towel and place it back into the reservoir tank if it is at a normal level. If it isn't between the two lines, this indicates a possible oil leak. Do this when your engine is cold, and look to see if the fluid level is between the hot and cold marks on the tank. Sometimes you may have to take off the radiator cap to see clearly, depending on the color of your tank. If the fluid is below the cold line or is completely empty, you definitely have an antifreeze leak. This is the reservoir for your power steering fluid. Let your engine run at idling speed for a few minutes and turn the steering wheel back and forth several times. This should be done before proceeding to checking your fluid levels. The dipstick is usually built into the cap with an indicator mark. If the liquid is below this mark or there's none on the stick, then you may have a leak. There should be a marker line on the side of the reservoir. If you cannot see the fluid clearly, you can unscrew the cap and look inside.  If the fluid is very low or gone, you have a leak. It is normal to have a slight decrease in fluid if your brake pads are worn down. If you think...


Check your owner's manual for your octane level. Look at the rating on the bottle. Use octane boosters for turbocharger engines only. Weigh the cost versus the benefit. Upgrade your fuel at the pump instead. Buy boosters based on your desired octane level.

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

Your owner's manual should specify what octane level your car requires. Mixing gas with an octane booster to create a higher octane level than required will not give you a huge power boost. You just need to get it to the required level. Most products can only raise your octane level by about 3, meaning you could move from 90 to 93, for instance. A few will raise it higher than that, so be sure to buy what you need.  Octane is a measurement of how much compression will cause the fuel to "knock." Typically, your fuel doesn't ignite until it's lit by the spark plugs. However, knocking is when the compression causes it to ignite spontaneously. A higher octane level means the fuel can withstand higher compression before igniting, but you really only need the octane level required by your car.  However, be careful about labels. Some cheaper products put the boost number in points, which is deceiving. If it claims a boost of "3 points" for instance, that actually means it will only raise the octane level by 0.3. Most of the time, an octane booster isn't going to provide much benefit for a normal car. However, if you have a turbocharger or another similar engine, you may find that an octane booster is beneficial. Octane boosters can range from $10 USD to $50 USD per bottle. Since a whole bottle is typically used for one tank, that can get fairly expensive. To save money, you may consider only purchasing an octane booster for special occasions, such as a road trip. If you're considering buying an octane booster, you may just want to buy a higher octane gas at the pump. In many cases, it will be cheaper and easier to boost your octane this way. However, if your car needs a higher octane than what's available at the pump, you'll need to buy an octane booster. To know how much booster to buy, you'll need to read the back of the package. It will tell you how much of the octane booster you need to raise your gasoline to a certain octane level. There's not a standard amount because it is based on what octane level you want...


Check your paragraph for spelling and grammar. Check your paragraph for coherency and style. Decide if your paragraph is complete.

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

Once you have finished writing, it is essential that you re-read your paragraph two or three times to check it for misspelled words and poor grammar. Spelling mistakes and bad grammar can significantly impact the perceived quality of your paragraph, even if the ideas and arguments it contains are of a high quality. It is very easy to overlook small mistakes when writing, so don't skip this step, even if you're in a rush.  Ensure that each sentence has a subject and that all proper nouns are capitalized. Also make sure that all of the subjects and verbs agree with each other and that you use the same tense across the entire paragraph. Use a dictionary to double-check the spelling of words that you are unsure about, don't just assume that they are correct. Check your paragraph for the proper use of punctuation, making sure that you use marks such as commas, colons, semicolons and ellipses in the correct context. Not only should the technical aspects of your writing be spot on, but you should also try to achieve clarity in your writing, as well as stylistic flow. You can do this by varying the length and format of your sentences and by using transitional words and a varied vocabulary. Don't: use long words or "thesaurus finds" for their own sake.Do: use well-known synonyms to vary your writing rather than repeat the same word many times.  The point of view of your writing should remain consistent throughout the paragraph, and indeed, the entire paper. For example, if you are writing in the first person (e.g., "I believe that...") you should not switch to a passive voice ("it is believed that") halfway through. However, you should also try to avoid beginning every sentence with "I think..." or "I contend that..." Try to vary the format of your sentences, as this will make the paragraph more interesting for the reader and help it to flow more naturally. For beginner writers, it is better to stick to short, to-the-point sentences which clearly express your point. Long, rambling sentences can very quickly become...


Check your plant for pest activity. Combat slugs and snails. Know what aphids, thrips, spittle bugs, and spider mites look like. Use water to combat these pests. Spray the shrub with insecticidal soap if the pests persist and are causing serious damage.

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

'Limelight' is occasionally attacked by slugs, snails, aphids, spider mites, spittle bugs and thrips. Check the leaves for snail and slug activity. They chew on the flowers, leaves and stems. If they become a problem, either pick them off the shrub in the morning and drop them into a bucket of soapy water to drown or sink tuna or cat food cans into the soil around the shrub and fill them with beer. Snails and slugs will crawl into the beer and drown. The edge of the can should be level with the surrounding soil. Check the cans each afternoon. Dump the dead snails and slugs into the garbage, replace the cans and fill them with fresh beer. Aphids are little soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that can be almost any color.  Spider mites are actually tiny spiders that can barely be seen without a magnifying glass. They spin a fine webbing between the leaves and stems. Thrips are also very tiny. They are yellow to black and leave black excrement on the undersides of the leaves which take on a dusty appearance as the thrips feed. The flowers usually develop brown streaks. Spittle bugs are 1⁄4 to 1⁄3 inch (0.6 to 0.8 cm) long and can be brown, green or yellow. They deposit a frothy white substance on shrub stems. All of these insects suck plant juices from the leaves and stems of shrubs. They can usually be controlled by spraying 'Limelight' in the morning several times each week with a forceful spray from a garden hose. Be sure to spray the tops and bottoms of the leaves as well as the stems. Be sure to coat the tops and bottoms of the leaves and the stems until the soap begins to drip. Insecticidal soap is available already diluted in spray bottles or in concentrate form.  Insecticidal soap concentrate is commonly diluted at a rate of 5 tablespoons (73.9 ml) per gallon of water. Spray the shrub in the morning or evening. Spraying it in the afternoon when the sun is hottest or when temperatures rise above 85 °F (29 °C) can cause damage to the leaves. Hose the insecticidal soap off the shrub after an hour or two. The...


Check your power source. Fix when the computer does not boot or shows the blue screen.

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

If your computer does not power on at all, the most likely culprits are either power supply (desktop only) or motherboard. Make sure the connectors are plugged in properly, and the switch on the back of the power supply is turned ON. If your computer has power (you see lights, hear fans spinning), but nothing on the screen, or if the computer starts to boot up and then crashes with a 'blue screen', there are several possible issues. NOTE: Any hardware changes must be done while computer is completely powered down and unplugged/battery removed!!  Try Safe Mode - if your computer will boot into Safe Mode, it is a software related issue. Test Screen - If you hear the computer running, but see nothing on the screen, try swapping monitors or plugging in an external monitor for laptops. Test RAM - try carefully removing the ram and powering on. Most computers, when functioning properly, will give a long, repeating 'memory error' beep. Power off and replace the ram, one stick at a time, powering on when ram is properly seated. Test Video Card - if your computer has a removable video card, try removing it and either replacing it or plugging your monitor into the built-in video port if available. If none of these things work, you are likely looking at a failed hard drive, corrupted operating system or failed motherboard. It is best to seek professional services at this time.


Check your progress. Continue your weight-lifting routine.

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

As your cutting program continues, be sure to chart your progress. Weigh yourself regularly and check your body fat percentage. Make sure that you are making reasonable progress towards your goal. Checking your weight loss will help you assess whether your program is working or if you need to switch it up. While you are cutting, you can still build muscle mass. However, it is more important to focus on maintaining the muscle mass you already have. Continue the weight-lifting routine you use for muscle maintenance. Gaining muscle mass can make it difficult to determine if you are losing fat while cutting. It may appear as if you are losing less fat than you actually are, as you are losing fat but gaining muscle. You will need to reassess your BMI and determine how much fat you have lost in comparison to your lean muscle mass.


Check your rabbit’s backside daily to make sure it’s clean. Brush your dwarf rabbit’s fur 2-3 times a week with a soft-bristled brush. Clean your rabbit’s ears weekly by removing debris and wiping them clean. Cut your rabbit’s nails.

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

Look for urine and feces stuck to your bunny’s fur, which can lead to flies laying eggs and the eggs hatching into maggots, especially when the weather is warm. If you notice any, use a damp rag to wipe your pet clean. Then, check your rabbit’s litter box to make sure it doesn’t need changing. If you see any soft poop or diarrhea, take your rabbit to the vet to make sure it’s not ill. Different types of dwarf rabbits have different types of fur, so brushing may be optional or very important, depending on your dwarf rabbit’s fur. If your dwarf rabbit is longhaired, you’ll need to keep it clean and brush out the tangles regularly to protect your rabbit from catching diseases. If your rabbit’s fur is shorter, you should still brush it for comforting and bonding purposes.  Brushing your rabbit a few times a week removes shed fur, which prevents your rabbit from ingesting the fur.  Use a comb to detangle problem areas. Check the ears for debris, like hay or bedding. Gently remove any debris that you find using your fingers or a fine comb. Then, use a clean, damp towel to gently wipe the inside and outside of the ear. Finally, dry the ear with a soft, clean cloth. If you notice any debris in your rabbit’s ear in between cleanings, remove it promptly. Use sharp nail clippers specifically for rabbits to cut your dwarf rabbit’s nails when they get long. Wrap the rabbit in a towel while you cut so that you can keep a good hold on it if it gets squirmy. If you’re unsure about how to go about cutting or how much to cut, make an appointment to have your vet do it.  Your rabbit can get seriously hurt if you try to cut its nails without being educated on how to do so. Ask your vet to show you how before attempting to do it yourself.  Never attempt to cut your rabbit’s teeth if they get too long. You can severely injure your rabbit if you trim them too far. Take your rabbit to your veterinarian and they can safely file them down using a special burr.


Check your reaction time. Test your balance. Evaluate your memory.

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

Ask another person to hold a 12" (30 cm) ruler in front of you.  Place your open hand under the ruler and have your tester drop the ruler without letting you know. Catch it when you can. See where you rate (distance passed when caught):  Less than 4" (10 cm) = age 20 6" (15 cm) = age 25 8" (20 cm) = age 30 10" (25 cm) = age 35 12" (30 cm) or a complete miss = age 40+ Stand up. Raise one leg to the front with your knee bent at a right angle and hold your arms out to the sides.  Close your eyes and see how long you can hold this position. Just make sure, especially if you're older, that you have someone there to catch you if you fall or that you have a soft place to land. Check your results (time passed before having to return leg to floor):  Over 30 seconds = age 20 20 to 30 seconds = age 30 15 to 20 seconds = age 40 10 to 15 seconds = age 50 Less than 10 seconds = age 60. You'll need a partner for this test.  Write out a list of 6 different sentences. Have someone else place 2 mixed up letters (and/or symbols) on Line 1, 4 on Line 2, 6 on Line 3, 8 on Line 4, 10 on Line 5, and 12 on Line 6. Read a line and then cover that line up. Write down what you have remember next to the covered up line. Repeat this step until you've gone through each line. Calculate how much of each sentence you remembered correctly and write it down as a percentage. Add all 6 percentages and then divide that number by a total of 6 to get an average. Rate yourself (by percentage correct):  100% = age 20 90% = age 30 80% = age 40 70% = age 50 60% = age 60 50% = age 70 40% = age 80 30% or below = age 90


Check your recipe to find out whether to measure the sugar before or after sifting. Use the widest bowl you can find. Know when sifting is optional.

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

If the recipe calls for "two cups (480 mL) sifted, powdered sugar" you should sift first, then measure out two cups (480 mL) of sifted sugar. If the recipe calls for "two cups (480 mL) powdered sugar, sifted" or simply "powdered sugar" with instructions to sift later on, measure out two cups, then sift.  If the sugar contains many clumps, always sift before measuring. If measuring by weight (such as ounces or grams), it shouldn't matter whether you sift before or after. Sifting can be messy. Use a large, wide container to minimize cleanup. If your container is not significantly wider than your sifter, you may want to put down paper towels or a plate underneath it to catch spills. Alternatively, use a large sheet of wax paper. This method is best used with small amounts of sugar at a time. Don't pile the sifted sugar high enough to prevent you from picking up the paper for pouring into another container. Professional bakers typically sift sugar and other dry ingredients in every recipe, but many baking hobbyists try to avoid this sometimes messy or tedious step. If you saw only a couple of pea-sized lumps in your sugar during sifting, or none at all, consider skipping the sifting next time you make cakes, cookies, or other recipes where sugar is one of many ingredients. Sifting is more important when making icing, buttercream, or other decorative toppings in which gritty sugar is easily noticed. If you want your baked goods to end up airy, light, and even-textured, you can sift the dry ingredients together after they've been mixed. In this case, you do not need to sift the sugar separately unless there are many, obvious lumps that need to be removed before measuring.


Check your school's website for information on the trip. Check the weather forecast for your destination online. Pack the night before. Bring more money than what you think you will need. Charge all electronics. Wake up on time. Make sure that you know what to bring and what not to bring. Talk to your friends about saving you a seat on the bus.

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

You can also read the information on the permission slip. Make sure your parents sign the permission slip. In some cases, if you have different teachers for different classes, you may need them to sign the permission slip, and promise to make up any missed homework. Make sure your parents pay the amount of money needed for the trip or you might show up with your suitcase and they tell you you're not eligible to go! Most electronics are pre-installed with a weather application. Or check out The Weather Channel's website or Weatherbug.com to find the forecast. If it's a two night trip, it is a good idea to pack 3-4 outfits. Don't forget personal hygiene supplies! Personal spending money isn't covered by your school, of course. This is for such things as phone calls, souvenirs, and toiletries. Don't forget replacement batteries and/or chargers for each device. Some schools won't allow you to bring these things, so check with your teacher if you can take these devices on the trip. Set your alarm for 2 hours before you need to arrive at the school or meeting place so that you have time to eat breakfast, take a shower and pack anything you forgot! Most school trips will provide a list of what to bring on the permission letter they send home with you. Also, pack a lot of snacks for the trip!  Packing too much is better than not packing enough, as you will likely share snacks with your friends. Unless the seats are already assigned, ask your friend to save you a seat. You wouldn't want to sit with someone you don't like, or a teacher.


Check your shirt’s care instructions. Add a cup of vinegar to a large pot of water and boil. Soak your shirt for five minutes. Dry your shirt after it’s cool enough to touch.

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

Before trying to shrink your shirt, double check to make sure it can be washed. Make sure the flannel is made from either wool or cotton.  You’ll have more luck shrinking loose natural fibers, like wool or cotton. Synthetic fibers will be more difficult to shrink. If the care label says the garment is pre-washed, you might have to take it down a size instead of shrinking it by washing and drying. Fill the largest pot you have on hand with water. Add a cup of vinegar, and bring it to a rolling boil. Adding vinegar will help retain your shirt’s color by minimizing the amount of dye that bleeds out from the heat. When the water and vinegar begins to vigorously boil, remove the pot from heat. Place your shirt into the pot, and use a wooden spoon to soak and agitate it. Keep the shirt in the pot for five minutes. Be careful not to burn yourself. If you can pick up the heavy pot of water, drain the water carefully into the sink. When the shirt is cool enough to touch, pick it up and put it in the dryer for 45 to 60 minutes on a medium setting. If the pot is too heavy for you to pick up, just let the water cool until it’s safe to lift the shirt. Use the spoon to help get the shirt of out the water.


Check your sinuses. Know that some medicines cause bad breath. Stop smoking to cure bad breath.

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

Sinus infections or post-nasal drip (mucus running from your sinuses back into your throat) are responsible for up to 10% of cases of bad breath. There are a number of ways to combat it:  See your doctor. You may need an antibiotic to cure a sinus infection.  Use over-the-counter medication to dry up your sinuses and prevent mucus buildup. Try a saline spray to thin mucus and make it easier to expel. Try a sinus irrigator to rinse out your sinuses. Some medications will dry out your mouth, causing bad breath, while others contain chemicals that lead directly to bad breath. In particular, watch for the following medications:  Betel. Chloral hydrate. Nitrites and nitrates. Dimethyl sulfoxide. Disulfiram. Some chemotherapy medicines. Phenothiazines. Amphetamines. Smoking can leave your mouth smelling like an ashtray. The only permanent solution is to stop smoking, but you can also use mints or other breath fresheners to cover the smell.


Check your spark plugs for signs of damage. Replace spark plugs if need be. Check the plug wires. Test the ignition coils.

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

Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs in your engine and look them over to diagnose problems that may exist.  Remove each plug and inspect them for specific types of damage that may indicate what’s keeping the engine from starting.  Tan or grey metal plugs are in good working order. Black or burnt plugs indicate that there is too much fuel going into the engine. Blisters or boiling on the plug indicates that the engine was severely overheated. If the spark plugs appear to be fouled out, you will need to address the issue that caused them to foul in order to make the engine run properly.  Once done, replace the damaged spark plugs with new ones.  Make sure to gap new spark plugs properly for your application. You can find the appropriate gap to put into the plug in the service manual for your vehicle. Ensure each of the spark plug wires is securely fastened to the spark plug and to the ignition coil.  You can also use an ohm meter to conduct a spark plug resistance test to ensure the plug wires are transmitting sufficient electricity to the spark plugs to ignite the air and fuel mixture within the engine.  Look for signs of damage such as fraying or cracks in the spark plug wires. Replace any damaged spark plug wires even if they are not what’s keeping the engine from starting. Although unlikely, if all of your ignition coils fail to function it will prevent the engine from starting.  Test your ignition coils by removing a spark plug and connecting it again to its plug wire.  Touch the metal from the plug to a piece of metal in the engine bay and have a friend turn the key in the ignition.  If the coil is functioning properly, you will see a blue spark come from the plug. Test each ignition coil in your engine.


Check your speaker and receiver specifications. Check the connections. Look for physical damage.

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

There are a variety of factors that could potentially be causing your speakers to sound distorted or fuzzy. Mismatched equipment is one of the most common factors. Check that the amplifier and receiver support the ohms that the speakers draw, and that the speakers can handle the wattage output of the amplifier. Check the documentation for all of your equipment to ensure that everything matches. If you've accidentally swapped the positive and negative wires on your speakers, you likely will not hear anything coming out of them. Double check all of your connections, and ensure that the black cables are inserted in black clips, while the red cables are inserted in the red clips.  If the speaker is too far away and you aren't using a proper gauge wire, you can experience a lot of distortion. Try to move the speaker closer to the receiver and then shorten the wire, or run newer, lower-gauge wire. Crossed wires can short out your speakers and cause serious damage. Make sure the black and red wires are not touching when bare at the ends. Check that the speakers are not physically damaged. A blown-out speaker can sound terrible, so ensure that the woofers on the speaker aren't torn. If you see any physical damage, try replacing the speaker.


Check your specs. Backup your data. Set your BIOS to boot from CD.

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

In order to run Windows Vista you must have at least an 800 MHz processor (1 GHz is recommended), 512 MB RAM (1 GB is recommended), 15 GB of hard disk space (20 GB is recommended), and a DirectX 9 graphics card.  Different programs will have different system requirements. To check your system specs in Windows XP, open the Start menu and right-click My Computer. From the menu, select Properties. This will open the System Properties window. In the General tab, your system specifications will be listed under the Computer heading. If you are upgrading from another OS, you will lose all of your files and programs. The programs can’t be backed up; they will need to be reinstalled. Any files—including documents, music, pictures, and videos—that you want to save need to be copied to a backup location. You can use DVDs, CDs, external hard drives, flash drives, or the cloud, depending on how much data you have to backup. To do this, restart the computer and enter the setup screen when the manufacturer logo appears. The key to do this will be displayed, and varies by manufacturer. The most common keys are F2, F10, F12, and Del.  Once in the BIOS menu, select the Boot menu. Change the order of devices so that your computer boots from CD before booting from the hard drive. Save your changes and exit. Your computer will restart. If you are installing from a flash drive, then you will need to set the BIOS to boot from removable storage.


Check your speed. Test to see if your bandwidth is being limited Find what speed you're paying for. Check the usage. Make sure you have a secure wireless connection. Consider where you live.

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

Use Comcast Xfinity Speed Test to find out what your download and upload speeds actually are. This will be used as a diagnostic tool. . If your connection seems to drop off during peak hours or partway through downloads, Comcast may be throttling your bandwidth. Compare the speeds you got from the test to the speed level which you're paying for. You may have to call Comcast to find this out. You can also ask about possible throttling, if you discovered this during the previous step. If you are getting the speed you're paying for but find that this is too slow, you may want to upgrade. Are several people in your house all using the internet at once? Is anyone downloading something big, like a movie or playing an online game? This can significantly slow your internet. Much like the above, if your neighbors are putting pressure on your bandwidth by using your internet, everyone will have slower internet. Some areas will simply have very slow internet. If you live in a major city, or a newer city, this should not be a problem. However, if you live in a rural area or an area which has not seen recent infrastructure updating, Comcast's connection equipment may simply be dated. Call Comcast for more information. Your location within a given room can make a difference too. Try moving next to the router. If your connection improves, you will know that your location was part of the problem.


Check your spelling and grammar. Proofread for any sentences that could be written more concisely. Read your CV as if you were the company you are applying to. Get someone else to read your CV. Check the company’s application page.

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

Poor spelling is the quickest way to get rejected. If your CV is sloppy or riddled with errors, potential employers will be unimpressed. Double (and triple) check that you have spelled the name of the company correctly, as well as any companies you have worked for in the past. CVs that are concise and well-written tend to do better than long-winded CVs that have repetitive information. Make sure you don’t repeat yourself--it’s better to list many of your traits than the same few traits over and over again. What do you think about the layout and the information written there? Do you come across as a professional? What do they think could be added or taken out? Would they hire you if they were a company? Look to see if there are any other materials they would like you to send in along with your CV. Companies may ask for a  cover letter or samples of your work (such as articles you may have written).


Check your state's DOT website for traffic radio stations. Call or look online to see if your local radio stations do traffic reports. Decide on 2 or 3 choices of routes before you tune in. Make sure your radio is tuned to the right station and tune in at the correct time.

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

Your state's Department of Transportation may have a designated traffic station that gives constant real-time reports. This can also be helpful if you are driving long distances on the highway, in which case you can also look for roadside signs posting the local traffic station. Some DOT websites also have apps and online resources for checking traffic in real-time. If you have a favorite radio station that has local news and weather, it is very likely that they also broadcast traffic reports at specific times in the day. Call in to the radio station or check their website to see when these reports are aired. Daily traffic reports should be able to tell you what the current traffic conditions are based on traffic cameras, sensors, and freeway incident response teams. Some radio stations include traffic reports with their daily news broadcasts. Check a map and find a few alternatives to your usual route in case traffic is particularly heavy. That way, you will be able to choose which route to take quickly once you hear the traffic report. Double check that your radio is on the correct station and that it is turned to AM or FM as necessary. If you are listening to a traffic-only station, you can tune it at any time. If you are waiting for a specific traffic report, make sure you know when it airs so you can turn your radio on at the right time. But preferably, you should set the radio right before starting your journey, so you don't have to essentially get distracted while driving, as preventing accidents is the main priority.


Check your state's laws. Consider when to get the piercing. Choose a clear bioplast loop or stud for the piercing.

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

If you're under 18, many states require your parent or legal guardian to give permission before you're pierced. This usually means that your parent or legal guardian will have to accompany you and sign a consent form in person. Your parent or guardian might need to give state-issued photo identification or court documentation to prove your relationship. You can easily search your state's tattoo and piercing laws using an online database. The skin around your lip piercing will be noticeably irritated for a few days after you get the piercing done. Your skin may appear bruised or swollen and the piercing may discharge a white fluid. Because of these hard to conceal signs, plan to get the piercing when you can avoid your parents or boss for several days. If you can't completely avoid contact, try to keep your distance until the piercing heals. While the initial healing process takes several days, it will take 2 to 3 months for a lip piercing to completely heal. Ask the piercer to use this material because it's less noticeable than a metal loop or stud. Some piercers can safely use bioplast for your initial piercing. But, if your piercer isn't willing to work with this material, choose a plain stud. You've probably heard that you can hide a piercing by wearing a retainer. Although this is true, you can't use a retainer to get the piercing.


Check your state's marriage certificate index or repository. Go to the county records office. Request the marriage records. Look for church records.

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

The records of marriages are held by your County, and the way the information is kept and made available can vary from place to place. If your state and county has online marriage indexes, you can search through this online database to find information on the marriage. Not all states have these indexes, but if they do, it may allow you to find the person's wedding day without going to an office. Visit http://websearchguides.com/marriage_and_divorce_records.htm#partII to see if your state has a marriage certificate index. If you haven’t been able to find the information you are looking for online, the next step is to visit the country records office or courthouse in person. To do this you will need to know where the marriage took place, so that you can go to the relevant office. Marriage licenses, which show the date of marriage, are given by the county clerk and a search can be conducted at the County Recorder's office.  You need to go with as much information as you have about the marriage in question. This should include at least the names of the couple and the place of the marriage. If you know approximately when they were married, this could help narrow the search. Once you are at the right place, you will be asked to fill out the paperwork required to request information on the marriage. You may be asked to pay between $10 and $50 to perform a search.  You may be able to conduct the search online, through your county clerk website. You may or may not need to submit a credit card number to conduct the search online. The US did not require civil registration of marriages until the twentieth century. If you are looking for information on an earlier marriage, it’s a good idea to try and check church records, which in some cases go back to the 1600s. To find the church records you will need to know where the person lived, as well as the denomination of the church they attended.  Church records are generally kept in churches and their archives, at historical and genealogical societies, and in libraries. If the...
