Scrub your feet. Dry your feet. Use hand sanitizer. Soak your feet in a mixture of 1 part regular vinegar and 2 parts water. Rub your feet with one or more of the following powders.

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

It sounds obvious, but a quick rub with soapy water in the shower isn't enough. The objective here is to get rid of any bacteria and dead skin cells that bacteria like to feed on. So when you wash your feet, exfoliate the entire surface of your foot with a washcloth, brush, or any other mechanism and use antibacterial soap. Don't forget to scrub between your toes, too! When you dry your feet, dry them completely. Moisture, whether it's water or sweat, is what creates a fertile breeding ground for bacteria, Take the time to dry your feet thoroughly and don't neglect the space between your toes. It may sound weird, but a good hand sanitizer can kill germs on your feet and inhibit bacterial growth. Since bacteria cause odor, this can reduce or eliminate your foot odor. If you have open sores or cracked feet, you should not use hand sanitizer, as it will dry out the skin even more. Vinegar kills fungus that could cause foot odor. Pour the water into a big bowl or bucket, and then add the vinegar. Soak your feet for 20-30 minutes.You can add a few scoops of baking soda and thyme oil drops to your foot bath, both of which may also help get rid of stinky smells. Do this between your toes as well. This is what most foot powders and sprays contain to combat foot odor:  Talc-free powder. It will absorb moisture and prevent friction.     Baking soda. This creates an alkaline environment that's not bacteria-friendly.     Corn starch. This helps absorb sweat.


Scrub your fingerlings. Peel and cut them as you like. Let them sit in boiled water. Transfer them to a large skillet. Brown your potatoes. Finish and season.

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

After washing your hands, use your thumbs and fingers to clean the potatoes’ skins under running water. Do not use soap. Wash your fingerlings even if you peel them before cooking. This way, your peeler won’t move any dirt or chemicals from the skin to the flesh. Skin 1.5 lbs (680 g) of potatoes if desired. Leave them whole or slice or dice them into smaller bits. To serve them halved, you can either slice them now or wait until you have boiled them whole. Once you are finished prepping, transfer the fingerlings to a pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Place the pot on a burner and boil the water. Once the water boils, switch the burner off. Allow the potatoes to sit in the boiled water as it loses heat. This may take ten or more minutes. Line the skillet’s bottom with a tablespoon of cooking oil, or more if needed. Wait until the potatoes and water have cooled off almost all the way, then place the skillet on a burner set to high. Drain the cooled-off potatoes and water into a colander over the sink. Then empty the potatoes from the colander into the skillet once it is hot. Stir your potatoes around so all of them touch the skillet without sitting on top of one another. Then leave them alone for a couple of minutes. Choose one piece to remove in order to check its bottom. If it has browned, stir the whole batch up so other sides can touch the skillet. If it hasn’t, put it back and check again in a minute or two. Continue to stir your potatoes up every couple of minutes so the potatoes brown as evenly as possible on all sides. Sprinkle your seasonings over them as you near the end. Stir them up to distribute them evenly over your fingerlings. Turn off the heat and serve.


Scrub your toilet at least once a week. Wipe down the exterior of the toilet. Wash your hands.

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

This weekly upkeep will keep it clean and well maintained. If you notice that it is dirty, feel free to clean it more frequently. Keep the outside of the toilet clean by wiping it down with disinfectant wipes. Start at the top to prevent dripping on surfaces you have just cleaned. Wipe the outside lid of the toilet, and remember to wipe the seat of the toilet as well. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water to prevent the spread of germs. This should be done after each cleaning.


Scrunch your hair to create waves. Comb your hair straight back for a slick back. Part your hair to the side for a bit of sophistication. Use a flexible hairspray or shine spray to finish.

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

If your hair is naturally wavy, wait until it's dry before you scrunch it. If it's naturally straight, scrunch it while it's still damp to help add waves. To scrunch it, tilt your head to one side and scrunch it towards your head, or use the diffuser attachment on your blow dryer to scrunch and curl the hair. Use a very fine-tooth comb, such as a rattail comb, to smooth out your hair. Comb it to the back of your head, creating a smooth finish on the sides and top.  For this look, make sure to leave the pomade, gel, or wax off the bottom of the hair so it has some movement. Finish it up by applying a smoothing serum over the bottom hair if you haven't already.  You can also use this technique to pull your hair back into a ponytail. Use the pointed end of a rattail comb. Start just to the left or right of center, and draw a line straight back in your hair. Separate the hair on either side of the part. Use a fine-tooth comb or a tint brush to smooth your hair down. To help keep the look in place, spray it lightly with a flexible hairspray. A shine spray will give it extra gloss. Hold either spray about a 1 foot (3.0 dm) from your head and mist it all over your head. Some products won't need finishing spray, such as pomade.


Seal any cracks into your home. Make sure screens are in place. Seal spaces where cables, wires, pipes, or any other object enters the house from outside. Install door sweeps or thresholds.

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

The main way that boxelder bugs enter homes is through cracks in walls, flooring, roofing, etc. Thus, a cheap and effective way of combating them is to make sure that all such cracks are sealed.  For homes with plaster, stucco, stone, or brick veneer exteriors, check the outside walls for significant cracks. Especially check places where different materials meet, or where horizontal and vertical surfaces meet. Use caulking suitable for outside locations and the surface you are applying it to to seal these cracks. For stone or brick veneer, do not seal the weep holes with caulk, as they allow moisture to drain. Instead, use a bug screen or other solution that is sold at your local hardware store. Boxelder bugs can easily come in through open windows without screens. If you want to have your windows open, be sure you have screens covering the entire opening area.  Make sure that all screens on windows and doors are completely sealed. Boxelder bugs can fit through very small holes (about 1/8 of an inch). Also check that there are screens on all vents, including kitchen and bathroom fans, as well as roof and soffit vents. You can use materials such as silicone, polyurethane, or copper mesh for this purpose. If using mesh, make sure there are no gaps for the bugs to fit through. You may need to research to see which caulking material is best for your specific purpose. These should be put on all doors that open to the outside. This will prevent bugs from entering underneath doors. Filling the space between the floor and the bottom of the door can be done by either attaching a door sweep to the bottom of the door or adding a threshold to the floor beneath the door.  For a door sweep, you usually attach a strip that is specially designed for this use to the bottom, inside edge of the door with screws or some form of adhesive. The length of the strip should be the same width as your door. A threshold is added by screwing it to the floor under the door. Be careful, however, because a threshold can be a tripping hazard.


Seal any gaps under your house to keep rattlers from sneaking in. Clean up your yard so that rattlers won’t have a place to live. Keep rodents out of your yard by removing their food sources. Mow weeds and grasses in your backyard to destroy snake habitat. Call animal control if a snake stays in your yard.

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

Take a walk around your house and look for any cracks or gaps in the wood or concrete. These small openings make great habitats for rattlesnakes. To prevent rattlers from living in the bottom of your house, fill any gaps larger than 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) with a filler like expanding foam. You can purchase expanding foam at any hardware store. If you make your property inhospitable to passing rattlesnakes, they won’t stick around and make a home in your yard. Do this by removing any possible hiding spots for snakes and by tearing down any places where they could build a nest. This includes:  Piles of boards or debris. Mounds of branches, sticks, and leaves. Piles of rocks. Old and unattended vehicles or boats. Snakes are carnivorous and primarily eat small mammals like rats and mice. If your yard is rodent-free, snakes won’t linger looking for a meal. The best plan is to remove the food that mice and rats eat. By removing rodents’ food, you’ll keep both rodents and snakes away from your yard. You can:  Pick up outdoor pet food every night. Securely close trash-can lids so rodents won’t eat your garbage. Keep your compost in a sealed container, not lying on the ground. Snakes will look for cover when deciding where to live and hunt. If your yard is full of high grass or large patches of weeds, it will attract snakes. To keep snakes away, mow your lawn regularly and keep weeds trimmed. Cut any weed clumps that grow higher than about 5 inches (13 cm). If your property contains a large field, mow the field as well. Long grass is an inviting habitat for rattlers, and if there’s high grass anywhere near your yard, rattlers may come crawling in. If a rattlesnake does make its way into your backyard, do not panic. Send any kids and pets indoors, and make sure the rattler doesn’t approach the house. If it lingers for longer than 30 minutes or has built a den in your yard, call animal control to remove the snake. If you have made your yard as unfavorable to a snake as possible, the snake should leave if given the chance.


Seal dead animals in an airtight container, then throw them away. Pick up animal droppings and other organic waste. Maintain compost piles to keep them warm. Spray pyrethrin or another insecticide to eliminate adult flies. Swat leftover flies to remove them by force. Vacuum the area to clean up flies and maggots.

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

Remove rats and other animals as soon as possible to stop flesh flies from forming. Put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect yourself from bacteria. Move the animal into a plastic bag, garbage bag, or another container. Then, tie it up tight before throwing it away. Cut walls to remove animals inside your home. Use a drywall or keyhole saw to remove a square section of the wall and access the animal. Scoop up the waste with a shovel or paper towel. Throw it into a plastic bag or garbage bag to tie shut when you’re done. Dispose of it with the rest of your trash during trash removal day or take it to a landfill. Burying or burning waste also stops flies from reaching your home.  Inspect waste first for signs of flies and maggots. Waste, especially animal droppings, is the main food source for flesh flies. To reduce the chances of attracting flesh flies, discourage stray animals from visiting your home. Hide food sources and install barriers to make your yard less appealing. Composting is a great way to recycle, but compost piles give flesh flies a home. To prevent new flies from growing, maintain your compost pile by stirring and watering it. The heat inside the compost pile kills most maggots before they grow. If you notice flies around a compost pile, try covering it with black plastic sheeting from a hardware store. The plastic causes the compost to heat up more, eliminating flies before they escape. Pick an insecticide safe for indoor use. Read the label to make sure the spray is effective on flies. Then, spray around the infested area to knock out the flesh flies. Pyrethrin and similar sprays are not very toxic to humans, but keep pets and other people away from the area. Air the area out for a couple of hours before returning to it. Get a traditional flyswatter, a rolled newspaper, or another item for a brute force solution. This is a natural way to eliminate pesky flies. Use it in place of an insecticide or to take care of any stragglers left after spraying the area. Keep in mind that flies are pretty...


Seal gaps in your home with foam and caulk. Close doors and windows or install screens over them. Secure trash in closed bags and trash cans. Clean up organic waste in and around your house regularly. Install light traps to attract stray flesh flies.

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

Note any gaps around your home, including spaces around exterior fittings and crevasses near interior molding. Fill cracks less than 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) wide with silicone caulk. For spaces wider than 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm), spray an expanding foam.  Pick up foam and caulk canisters at a hardware store. You will need a caulk gun to spray silicone caulk. Expanding foams are often sprayed directly from a canister. Expanding foam isn’t waterproof, so don’t use it on areas exposed to moisture. Flesh flies often slip in through open these open spaces. If you know the flies are around your home, keeping everything shut prevents them from getting in. The only way to protect an open door or window is with a good screen. Choose a screen that has between 14 and 16 wire strands per 1 sq in (6.5 cm2) to prevent the flies from squeezing through. Adult flesh flies are active during the spring and summer months. Have screens in place so you can open up your home during warm periods. Prevent trash cans from getting dirty by putting plastic liners in them. Keep your disposal areas covered until you need to throw them away. During trash day, remove the trash bag, tie it up, and take it to an outdoor trash can for disposal. Cover the trash can with a tightly-fitting lid to prevent flies and other animals from getting into it.  Trash is a big source of flesh flies, so secure anything you throw away. Never put food directly into a trash can. Keep in mind that flesh flies smell trash. Remove trash bags regularly to avoid odors. When a bag leaks, wash out the trash can to eliminate food particles before flesh flies have a chance to reach it. Keeping your house clean is the best way to prevent flesh flies from returning. That means inspecting your yard, trash, and compost areas for waste. Remove all garbage, pet food, animal droppings, and pests from your home right away. Wash your home with soap, water, and commercial cleaners often to eliminate odors that attract flies. Bad odors tend to linger for a long time. The only way to eliminate...


Seal it in a plastic bag. Place the fish in a pot of cold water. Consider defrosting it in the microwave.

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

Place the fish in a plastic bag and tie the bag in a knot to completely seal it. You don't want the water to actually touch the fish. The cool temperature of the water will be able to thaw the fish through the bag. If the fish floats, put a plate or another weight on top to keep it completely submerged. The fish will thaw quickly in the cold water. Let it sit for about an hour to make sure it thaws completely before using.  As an alternative, you can run the fish under cold running water to thaw it out. The water doesn't have to run rapidly; a steady stream will do. This will defrost the fish more rapidly than placing it in a pot of cold water. However, use running water only for thinner fish filets, since you don't want to waste too much water by running it for half an hour or more. Check the fish to see whether it has completely defrosted by pressing your finger against the flesh. If it still feels frozen in the middle, let it continue to thaw. Don't thaw fish in hot water. This will thaw the fish unevenly and too quickly, changing its taste and texture. Thawing in hot water will also make the outer edges susceptible to getting contaminated with bacteria before the inside of the fish is finished thawing. Use the “defrost” setting in your microwave as an alternative to icy water. Place your fish in a microwave-safe container and defrost it for several minutes. Check on the fish often, and stop the defrost cycle while the fish is still icy but malleable.  Use this method only if you're planning to cook the fish immediately after thawing. Be careful not to actually cook the fish in the microwave; take it out while it's still cold to make sure the texture and flavor don't start to deteriorate.


Seal off all potential entry points. Dispose of any remaining bat waste. Check inhabitable spaces frequently.

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

Once the bats are gone, it will be necessary to bar any openings that they might be using to make their way in. This can be accomplished by repairing longstanding cracks and damage, installing exclusion devices or in some cases applying new mortar, plaster or shingles. With these things in place, bats will find it difficult or impossible to regain access to your home in the future.  Have a contractor go over the exterior of your home with you to look for places that might admit bats. It’s important that you address each and every possible entry point. If the bats can’t get in through one, they’ll try to find another. Vacuum up dried droppings or scoop them into a garbage bag with a plastic scraper. Afterward, scrub the area thoroughly using an enzyme-based cleaning solution. This will help break down any remaining biological waste products so that no traces are left behind.  Be sure to take the proper safety precautions when cleaning bat guano—wear thick rubber gloves, eye protection and a facemask or respirator to filter the surrounding air.  It’s highly recommended that you leave the cleanup duties to a professional pest removal service. Perform thorough inspections of your attic, basement, crawlspace or other affected areas periodically to search for signs of reinfestation. Look for bats themselves as well as their droppings. Chances are that bats will stay out after you’ve sealed their entryways, but if they do happen to sneak back in you’ll want to find out as soon as possible to keep the problem from getting out of hand.  Unexplainable drafts or debris can offer a clue that bats have gnawed their way in. Though they usually wind up in attics and chimneys, bats have also been known to roost beneath decks, inside screened-in porches and under roofing tiles.


Seal off your attic. Hire professionals.

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

Fill any gaps between your roof shingles or in the siding of your house. Seal the edges of places where birds nest using hardware cloth and silicon caulk or plastic bird netting. Close off the space above the rafters where pigeons roost and nest with industrial bird netting. You can further prevent access to your attic by trimming tree branches that grow close to your roof. If you find pigeons in your attic or other interior spaces, hire a professional to install a one-way door. These devices allow the birds to exit the area but prevent them from re-entering.  You can also hire professionals to clean up any droppings, feathers, or other refuse left behind. Professional cleaners will have the proper cleaning equipment and protection gear that might be too expensive to obtain on their own.


Seal the Velcro to itself before you wash your wraps. Wash your wraps by themselves if they are brightly colored.

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

To prevent wear and tear on your wraps, close up the Velcro on the end of each wrap. The Velcro pieces easily stick to each other, and this keeps it protected in the wash. If you leave the velcro open, the seal may weaken, and they may not stay in place. If you have highly saturated wraps like red or royal blue, it is best to wash them alone. Put your laundry bag in the washing machine by itself, and adjust the settings for a small load. The pigment of the wraps can wash off and stain your white or light-colored clothing.


Seal the container. Take the sample to your vet’s office. Store the urine sample at home.

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

When you have collected the urine, you will need to cover the container so the urine doesn’t spill out or get contaminated. The best seal will be the lid that goes with the container. If you do not have the matching lid, tightly cover the container with a few layers of plastic wrap.  If you use plastic wrap to cover the container, keep the plastic wrap in place with a rubber band. If any urine got on the side of the container, wipe it off with a dry paper towel. Wash your hands with warm, soapy water before and after sealing the container. A urinalysis will be most accurate when the urine sample is fresh (collected no more than a few hours beforehand). After the container with the urine sample is securely sealed, place it in a bag and put your dog’s name on the bag. Then, take the container to your vet’s office. If you can’t drop off the urine sample soon after collecting it, you will need to keep it cool until you have time to drive to your vet’s office. Options for cool storage of urine are a refrigerator or a cooler with ice.  If you choose to store the urine sample in your fridge, place the container with the sample in a plastic bag to prevent any urine from contaminating the fridge.  Storing your dog’s urine in your fridge may make you uncomfortable. If so, store the sample in a cooler. Do not store the urine for more than 12 hours. After 12 hours, the urine sample will no longer be fresh enough to use for a urinalysis.


Seal the glitter with an acrylic sealer. Remove the tape and newspaper. Extend the sealer, if necessary. Allow the shoes to dry completely before wearing them.

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

You can use the spray-on kind or the brush-on kind. You will need two coats. Let the first coat dry completely before applying the next one.  If you can't find an acrylic sealer, you can use more Mod Podge instead.  Make sure that you use a sealer with a glossy finish. A matte finish will dull the glitter and give you a sandy finish instead. If there is any glitter stuck where you don't want it, wipe it away with a damp sponge or towel. Use a piece of tape to pick off any stubborn bits of glitter or Mod Podge. If you applied the glitter to only a small portion of your shoe, such as a heart shape, it might be a good idea to extend the sealer just a smidge beyond the glitter. Use a thin paintbrush and some more brush-on acrylic sealer (or Mod Podge), and paint just outside the design. This will help lock the design in and keep it from peeling away. In most cases, you will need to wait 24 hours. Check the label on your Mod Podge and sealer just to be sure. Just because something feels dry to the touch does not necessarily mean that it is fully dry and ready to use.


Seal up holes and cracks in your home where rodents may enter. Keep all of your food in sealed, airtight containers or bags. Discourage rodents from entering your home with off-putting smells. Adopt a pet cat Sprinkle used cat litter in areas where rodents are entering their home.

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

Check around your foundation, windows, and door frames for small holes, cracks, or improper seals. Be sure to seal any holes that have rodent poop in front of them, as that’s a sure sign that rodents use those holes as entrances to your house. Use caulk, putty or weather stripping to fill any access areas you find. Mice can get through small holes, so blocking them out completely may not be possible. However, making it more difficult to get in may be enough to discourage rodents. Hard plastic or glass containers are best, since mice and rats can gnaw through softer materials. Sealing all of your food will prevent the rodents from being able to smell—or eat—your food. Once rodents figure out that they won’t be able to get a free meal when they enter your home, they’ll lose interest and leave. To prevent rodents from smelling food from your home at all, run the dishwasher daily, and don’t leave dirty dishes sitting in the sink overnight. These aromas will make your home less attractive to rodents and discourage them from living inside of your house. For example, you can rub peppermint oil on floorboards and other areas where rodents travel. You can also scatter fresh or dried mint leaves, as both the oil and leaves repel rodents.  Use mothballs to keep mice out of hard-to-reach areas of your home. Put 4 or 5 mothballs in an open container and leave them in the corners of the basement, attic, and other areas of your home where rodents are a problem. While mint smells pleasant to humans, rodents find the smell off-putting and will avoid areas that smell strongly of mint. to kill and scare off rodents. Cats are natural predators, and their instinct will drive them to chase and kill rats. Even if your cat is not a great mouser, the smell of the cat's presence in the home should be enough to deter rodents. Give the adult cat a few weeks to settle in to its new home and rodent-hunting routine before you expect to see significant results. Keep in mind that adopting a cat is a serious responsibility. If you’re not...


Seal your concrete for the best protection against rust stains. Avoid placing metal bottomed furniture directly on concrete. Ensure that you have non-corroding bar supports when laying your concrete. Have your house inspected for leaks.

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

Concrete sealer is applied like a stain on wood, and it soaks into the pores of the concrete and protects it from stains. You can get it at any home-improvement store. For the best results, reapply the sealer every 2-3 years:  Choose a weekend with very little chance of rain to work. Wash the concrete and remove any existing stains. Starting in the corner, roll the sealant onto the concrete. Let the sealant sit for 48 hours before placing any furniture on it. If you do need to, try and remove it during rainstorms. The number one cause of rust stains comes from outdoor metal furniture that gets wet, but this can be easily prevented with some forethought.  You can get felt runners, or outdoor carpets and mats, to protect your concrete as well. You can try coating your metal furniture with a sealant to prevent rust. You can also seal already rusted furniture to prevent the rust from spreading to your concrete. Even interior concrete can get rust stains if the room is moist or humid, so be aware of any metal to concrete interactions. Some stains come from within the concrete, as water gets to the metal support bars and causes rust stains from within the concrete. The best way to prevent this is to be proactive -- making sure you pay for and get non-corroding bars in your foundation. Moisture causes rust, so if you have stains on your interior concrete you should get an inspection to look for leaks. The sooner you close up the leak the better, as moisture can cause more damage then just a few easily cleaned stains.


Seal your suede with a protective coating. Mop up excess ink immediately. Remove the stain as soon as possible.

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

Because suede is so difficult to clean, it's better to prevent ink stains from happening in the first place. Suede-protecting sprays can be found in most drugstores, leather shops, and shoe stores. Even if the sealant cannot protect your suede completely, it may result in a stain that is lighter and easier to remove compared to an unsealed item.  Be sure to do a spot test with the sealant before coating your entire item. Even products specifically made for suede may still cause discoloration due to variations in manufacturing.  Re-seal items every few months. Brush your item with a suede brush before and after spraying. A universal rule of stain control is to soak up extra liquid before it can spread. Blot the ink with a clean cloth. Do not rub with the cloth by moving it from side-to-side. Instead, pat the spot with up-and-down motions. Be careful not to press down too hard. Rubbing and too much force can push the pigment into your suede, making the stain harder to remove. You should begin stain removal immediately after the ink has dried. The longer you leave the stain, the more difficult it will be to remove. Sometimes stains allowed to set for too long may become permanent. Unlike many other types of stains, it's more prudent to allow ink stains on suede to dry out before cleaning. The sandpaper and eraser methods will not work on wet ink. Additionally, attempting to clean wet ink using only a solvent may cause the ink to run, spreading the stain.


Seal yourself and family members in the room when you are unable to get out safely. Call the emergency response number or the fire department directly. Yell and signal for help, if you don't have a telephone. Stay on the floor near the window until help arrives.

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

Use a roll of duct tape or stuff towels, blankets or sheets under the door and in the cracks of the door to keep the smoke out. Cover all the air vents and heat units to prevent the smoke from entering the room. Provide the exact address of the fire. Tell the emergency response operator how many people are inside the burning house and the exact location. This should include whether you are on the first or second floor and in the back, side or front of the house. Wave something out the window to attract attention or shine a flashlight to alert help. Smoke and heat rise, so be sure everyone stays low.


Sear the goat tenderloin. Saute aromatics. Stir fry and season the papaitan. Simmer the papaitan. Finish seasoning the papaitan.

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

Cut the goat tenderloin into 1/2-inch cubes. In another large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin and cook it until it browns on all sides. You'll need to stir it frequently so it doesn't stick and burn. Remove the browned tenderloin to a separate bowl. You may need sear the tenderloin in batches if you think your pan is too small or the goat would be too crowded. The bottom of your pan should still look oily. If not, add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger, 1 medium onion, and 1 head of garlic. Add this to your pan and cook the aromatics until they're soft and you can smell them. Stir in the pre-cooked internal organs and entrails (intestines, if you're using them). You'll only need to cook these for a few minutes. Keep an eye on them and stir them occasionally so they don't burn. Stir fry the mixture until a little the meat releases a little moisture. Season the papaitan with salt and pepper to your taste. Let it cook for a few minutes over medium-high and add enough water to cover the papaitan. At this point, you can taste the papaitan. Just keep in mind that it will soften a lot after you finish simmering it. Add the seared goat tenderloin to the papaitan and continue to simmer the papaitan until the tenderloin is completely cooked and tender. The papaitan should be covered with water and you'll want to cook it for 2 to 3 hours. Continue to taste and season the papaitan, adding more bile for a more bitter taste. Make sure that the papaitan doesn't boil or bubble too much. If it boils, the water will cook out and burn the papaitan on the bottom of the pot. Split the chili peppers lengthwise and add them to the papaitan. Pour small amounts of bile into the papaitan, tasting after each addition. Add fish sauce to your liking and taste the papaitan again. When you're ready to serve the dish, garnish it with chopped scallions. For example, try adding 1/8 teaspoon and taste before adding another 1/8 of a teaspoon of bile. This will...


Sear the steak in a large Dutch oven.

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

Place a Dutch oven over a high heat and add a splash of cooking oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add in your round steak and sear it on all sides until golden brown.


Sear your steak on all sides. Deglaze the pan. Get the steak, vegetables and liquid simmering at 350 °F (177 °C) and cover it. Braise the steak low and slow. Finished.

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

Heat up a deep-dished pot that has a lid. Add a small amount of fat to the bottom, such as olive oil. After the fat heats up, add your pre-seasoned meat to the sizzling oil. After the meat is a deep brown on all sides, remove it until you are ready to move on to prevent over-cooking. If you want to add vegetables to the mix, now is the time to do it. Try diced carrots, celery, garlic, or zucchini. When cutting to the appropriate size, think small, bite-sized pieces. Deglazing is adding a liquid while the pan is still hot to get any meaty bits previously stuck to the pan, floating in the liquid. Deglazing is generally done with wine or stock, or a combination of both. After your liquid is adding, keep scraping the bottom of the pan to pull up the caramelized bits of meat.  Wine is often used in deglazing due to its high acidity. The acidity helps break down the proteins found within the meat, adding to the tenderness. It also provides extra depth in flavor. If you aren’t a wine expert, a pinot noir is a solid choice to use for deglazing.  If you’d prefer to have alcohol-free dining, use a base of broth with apple cider vinegar added. The vinegar gives the acidity as the wine and the broth will provide a positive flavor. Top off the pot with any last minute vegetables and your steak. The pot can remain on your stove top or be moved to the oven. The objective is to get the liquid boiling, then lower the temperature to have it down to a simmer. It is ideal to have the pot approximately half full, so that most of your steak is covered with liquid. If necessary, add more of your liquid at any point of the cooking stage. Letting the liquid run down will result in a dry meal. Check the liquid levels frequently to keep it topped at optimum levels. Don’t allow the liquid to move past a simmer.

Search a wider area for matches. Expand your age range. Use your super-like boost. Pay to boost your profile. Consider signing up for Tinder Gold.

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

Generally, Tinder settings are tailored to people who live in big cities, and want to meet people in the same neighborhood or community.  By enlarging the geographical area you’re willing to make matches with, you’ll probably get more matches.  Open Tinder on your iPhone or Android. Tap the profile icon in the upper-left corner. Tap SETTINGS  Slide the "Maximum Distance" slider to the right. A larger age range will open many more possible matches. You can expand your age range by opening your profile on your phone, tapping Settings, and sliding right the far-right "Age Range" slider.  Start by expanding your range a little bit. For example, if you originally searched for 25 to 30, expand that range to 20 to 35. You might find you have a lot in common with people that are younger or older than you. Think about your comfort range. For example, if you’re 25, will you be comfortable dating someone that is 7 years younger or 7 years older? A 14-year range might provide you with many matches. Swiping up on a profile (or tapping the blue star icon at the bottom of the screen) will push your swipe through to the account in question, allowing you to bypass anyone who simply swiped right on the account. Super-likes are limited to one per day, but you can quality for 5 per day by signing up for Tinder Plus within your Tinder settings. Tinder Boost, which is a service that allows you to pay a fee to temporarily put your profile toward the top of the swipe list, is available for free once per month for Tinder Plus users; you can also buy one boost for $3.99, 5 boosts for $15, or 10 boosts for $25. By paying this fee, more people will be able to see your profile, thus increasing your potential matches.  Tinder Boost moves your profile up for 30 minutes at a time, and Tinder has said that their service may increase your views by 10 times. Avoid using Tinder Boost during periods of low Tinder activity (e.g., 2:00 PM on a workday). Tinder Gold includes all of the profile-boosting features listed above, but it also alerts you...


Search any lyrics you can remember. Add context to your search terms. Try alternate spellings. Use advanced search options.

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

Close your eyes, and concentrate on any words you can remember from the song. Maybe you remember the phrase "destiny is calling me" or "wish we could turn back time." Use quotation marks around specific phrases to narrow your search. Remembering more lyric phrases increases your likelihood of finding the song. Avoid excessively searching common words like "the," "and," "or," "but," and so on. These can clog up your search with unrelated results. Perhaps you heard this song on a specific TV show or movie. Search for "song playing during the credits of Grey's Anatomy, season six" or "song featured on The Voice in February 2017." Check movie soundtracks or scores for instrumental music. The song you're looking for might repeat a specific name. If the way you're spelling it isn't bringing up results, retry your search with less common spellings. You might try "Kjiersten" instead of "Kiersten," or "Zach" rather than "Zack."  Make sure none of your searched words are misspelled. Sometimes pop songs intentionally misspell/abbreviate words like "tonite" instead of "tonight" or "2" instead of "to." Most search engines offer advanced settings, if general searches aren't offering any results. You can limit your search to pages released within a certain year, or find pages containing all of the words included. You can also eliminate certain words or lyric phrases, if the popular results aren't what you're looking for.


Search for 24 hours before canceling credit cards or requesting a new ID. Go online and check for any fraudulent charges. Inform your bank of the missing card. Cancel any credit or debit cards. Call the major credit bureaus and to request a fraud alert on your credit line. Apply for a replacement ID. Call your insurance company and request a new account number. Report potentially stolen property to the police. Photocopy all of your cards and IDs for future reference.

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

You have 48 hours to report a missing card before you are liable for any charges, so use the time wisely. If you know the card is stolen, move on to the next step immediately.  Search all clothing, bags, and pockets. Call recent locations, like restaurants and bars. Search your house systematically, circling from the perimeter of rooms to the middle. Check your bank and credit card accounts online to see if any purchases have been made since the card went missing. If there are charges, this likely indicates the card was stolen. Call your bank and let them know the card is gone. Report any fraudulent charges immediately.  Log the date and time of every interaction in case there is a dispute. Call the institutions involved and request a new card. If you have any alternate copies, cut them up and discard them. You may need to provide bank information to verify your card is missing.   Mastercard: 1-800-627-8372  Visa: 1-800-VISA-911  Amex: 1-800-528-4800  Discover: 1-800-347-2683 This helps prevent serious changes to your credit score. The numbers are:   Equifax: 1-800-685-1111  TransUnion: 1-800-888-4213  Experian: 1-888-397-3742 Call, visit, or go online to check your state DMV's policy on new licenses. Many let you get your first replacement online, though it does cost money. You should do this for medical, dental, and auto insurance to avoid potential identity theft. They will let you know if something comes up. Having a police report will also make it much easier to deal with disputes from your bank or credit cards if something goes wrong or your identity is stolen. You should file a police report online no matter what, providing a paper trail for your bank in a dispute. It is much, much easier to remedy a lost wallet if you have copies of all the documents and cards. Never carry your Social Security card in your wallet, even a copy.


Search for a bike shape that fits you. Select a comfortable saddle. Wear tight clothing that fits you well. Choose a helmet to wear.

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

Bikes have different shapes and sizes, just like people do. If you have the option, go to a bike shop and work with the bike pro to find the right fit. You want it to be tall enough for you, with handlebars that are at the right height. Test some bikes out to see how they feel when you ride them. An improperly fitted bike will cause you to hunch forward too much or make your legs feel cramped. You’ll mostly be sitting on the bike when you ride it, so a saddle, or seat, that feels comfortable to you is important. There are different saddle designs for men and women, as well as ones that are streamlined or wider. Test saddles in a bike store to see what feels best to you.  Your budget affects the saddle that you’ll choose. If you want to stick with the cheap option that comes with the bike, feel free. Saddles can be supplemented with pads or a cushion, as long as it doesn’t hinder your ability to ride the bike smoothly. The clothes you wear help you ride comfortably and efficiently. It’s good to wear tight clothes so you reduce friction from the wind. Tight clothes are less likely to get caught in the chains. Clothes designed for cycling are ideal over casual clothes. Make sure you choose an outfit that fits you because if it is too tight you won’t be comfortable. Since your head is most at risk if you crash, always wear a helmet when you ride. Make sure it fits the shape of your head well, is padded the way you like, and looks stylish to you. Tighten the helmet so it fits snugly on your head when you ride.  Many helmets can be adjusted in various ways, so pick one that is flexible. Style may not seem important to you, but if you buy a helmet that you think looks dumb, you’ll never want to wear it. Find a helmet that you feel good about wearing.


Search for a dry, flat area between 2 trees with splits in their trunks. Find a branch 10 feet (3.0 m) long and 3–6 inches (7.6–15.2 cm) thick. Insert 1 end of the branch into the split of 1 of the trees. Place the other end of the branch into the split of the other tree. Lean branches against the main branch to form the structure of your shelter. Lay twigs and leaves over the branches to form a layer of insulation. Use leaves to make a bed inside of the shelter.

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

Look around the area to find a relatively flat area with a tree that has a trunk that splits about 3–5 feet (0.91–1.52 m) off of the ground. If possible, try to find 2 trees that have a split in their trunks about 3–5 feet (0.91–1.52 m) off of the ground and are about 10 feet (3.0 m) apart from each other.  If you can't find a tree with a split in its trunk, look for a strong branch or log that has a “Y” shape to serve as the support for your shelter. Clear the area between the trees of rocks and debris so it will be more comfortable to lie on. To form your shelter you need a support beam, so look for a sturdy tree branch that isn't rotting. The straighter the branch, the better it will be for forming the structure of your shelter. Clear off any critters or spiders that may be on the branch. Where the tree splits and forms a “V” shape, place 1 end of the branch to hold it up as a support beam. If the tree doesn't have a split, use a log that ends in a “V” shape and lean it against a tree so the branch is supported by the tree. If you have rope or twine, lash the branch to the tree to secure it even more. Form a horizontal frame with the main branch by inserting the other end in the split of a nearby tree. Make sure the branch is firmly held in place by shaking it a little. Gather a bunch of branches that are long enough to be propped up against the main branch of your shelter. Think about forming ribs with the branches. Try to keep them as close together as you can. Try to use dry or fresh branches rather than damp or rotting ones. Once you've formed the structure of your shelter, use smaller, leafy branches, brush, or leaves to create a layer of insulation that will help retain heat and provide cover from the wind and rain. Lay the leaves and small branches over the frame in order of decreasing size to create a thick layer.  Add layers of insulation until you can't find any holes in it and add as many layers as you can to help keep the shelter warm. If you have a tarp, drape it over the frame of your...


Search for a family member you don't know. Try a DNA test. Find a long-lost relative. Ask family members for memories.

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

Maybe you recently learned about a relative you didn't know you had. Or perhaps you are looking for your biological parents, or a child you placed up for adoption. There are organizations you can contact that specialize in helping connect families who have not previously been together.  For example, if you are adopted, you might have decided that you would like to find your biological parents. You can try contacting the Independent Adoption Center, which is a non-profit agency that has many resources. There are many legal issues involved with adoption.

You will receive help from experts on lineage. Maybe you just found out that you have a family member who you never knew you existed. This can be very exciting news, and it makes sense that you want to take steps to locate this person. Whether it is a long-lost aunt or a third cousin, there are things you can do to help locate your relative.  Start by going back one generation. Death certificates are often the most useful paperwork you can have in your search, so locate one from a known relative who passed away. You can use the information from that document to help with your search. Try using a genealogy site. These sites have multiple resources that can help you find relatives you might not even have known existed. In addition to contacting agencies, you can also use many personal resources to aid your search. When you are trying to locate a missing relative, one of your greatest resources could be your other family members. You can ask your relatives...


Search for a file by its file name. Set the search to start in the root directory. Use the wildcard character . Make your search results easier to manage. Find specific types of results. Filter your search results by size. Use boolean operators to combine search filters. Search for files by owner or permissions. Combine commands to perform actions when files are found.

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

This is the most basic search you can perform using the find command. The command below will search for the query in the current directory and any subdirectories.  find -iname "filename"   Using -iname instead of -name ignores the case of your query. The -name command is case-sensitive. If you want to search your whole system, you can add the / modifier to the query. This will tell find to search all directories starting from the root directory.   find / -iname "filename"    You can start the search in a specific directory by replacing the / with a directory path, such as /home/pat. You can use a . instead of / to force the search to only be performed on the current directory and subdirectories. * to search for anything that matches the part of the query. The wildcard * character can be useful for finding something if you don't know the full name, or if you want to find everything with a specific extension.   find /home/pat -iname "*.conf"    This will return all of the .conf files in Pat's user folder (and subdirectories). You can also use it to find everything that matches part of the file name. For example, if you have a lot of documents related to wikiHow, you could find them all by typing "*wiki*". If you're getting lots of search results, it can be difficult to sift through them. Use the | character and send the search results to the "less" filtering program. This can allow you to scroll through and filter the results much easier.   find /home/pat -iname "*.conf" | less You can use modifiers to only return specific types of results. You can search for regular files (f), directories (d), symbolic links (l), character devices (c), and block devices (b) by using the right modifier.   find / -type f -iname "filename" If you have lots of files with similar names, but know the size you are looking for, you can filter our results by size.   find / -size +50M -iname "filename"    This will return results that are 50 megabytes or larger. You can use + or - to search for greater or lesser sizes. Omitting the + or...

Search for a good family law attorney. Make a decision. Avoid bad attorneys. Consider representing yourself.

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

In a divorce, you and your spouse will be a part of a legal proceeding to end your marriage relationship. Family law attorneys deal with divorce cases regularly, so if you are going to hire an attorney, you should hire a reputable one that has handled similar cases in the past. To choose a good family law attorney, consider the following:  Find an attorney that can practice law in the state, and in the courts, you need them to. For example, if you are filing for divorce in South Carolina, find an attorney that is licensed to practice law in South Carolina. Ask your friends and family for attorney recommendations. Ask them about any experiences they may have had, and ask for the absolute truth. Search the internet for reputable divorce lawyers. Consider using your state bar's website; public websites like LawHelp.org; and online directories like Lawyers.com, LawInfo.com, and FindLaw.com.

These online reviews can be very helpful and honest, so do some internet searches to try and learn about lawyers you are considering. Once you have researched family law attorneys and have some ideas, narrow down your list and contact your top choices. Ask your top choices for a consultation so you have an opportunity to explain the situation you are in and the services you need. A consultation will also give you an opportunity to determine how you think you would work with the attorney. After you have met with attorneys and researched their background and expertise, you should make a final decision on who you will hire. Choose an attorney that makes you feel comfortable, that seems to know how to handle your case, and who feels confident that they can represent you in an effective manner. While there are many attorneys in the world, not all of them are particularly good. Avoid hiring an attorney who:  Solicits you as opposed to the other way around; Pressures you into making a hiring decision quickly; Refuses to...


Search for a group using relevant keywords. Join a relevant group. Post your request.

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

Whatever page of Facebook you find yourself on, you can find the search bar at the top of the screen, right next to the Facebook logo. Enter your query here, whether it’s related to a type of food, a particular interest, hobby or service. Then press enter to launch the search. For instance, if you’re looking for a good mechanic in the Los Angeles area, you’ll likely want to search for “Los Angeles Mechanics.” Pay attention to the group’s name, as this will tell you if it’s appropriate for your needs. Once you’ve found a group you think will help you find what you need, you should join it. This can be done from the group’s page by clicking on the “Join Group” button.  Be aware that, depending on the nature of your request, you might not find a group relevant enough to truly help you. This is especially true if you live in a more rural area. Some groups are private, and an administrator will need to approve your request to join them. The time this takes will vary from group to group; it can take a few hours or a few days. Near the top of the group page, you should find a box inviting you to post something. It’ll look much like the box you’ll find on your profile or your newsfeed. Write your request for recommendations here.  Since you’ll likely have joined a group that matches your location and the service you’re looking for, you might not need to be as specific in your request as in other methods. Note that many Facebook groups have rules concerning what you can and can’t post. Be sure to review these carefully before making your request, or you might get banned from the group. They’re usually found in “pinned” posts, at the top of the group page, or in the group’s description.


Search for a job. Find a place to live. Register with the authorities.

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

Moving to Norway and working there is relatively straightforward for citizens of EU/EEA countries. You will not need to apply for a visa and will benefit from the free movement of labour across these European countries. Although you will not have to worry about meeting immigration requirements, you may still find it tricky to find a job straight away. This could be because of a language barrier, or a mismatch between your qualifications and those recognised in Norway.  It's a good idea to look for work before you make the move. If you have a job lined up it will make everything easier. Search online for jobs in Norway, and search for jobs that you can do in English rather than Norwegian if you don't speak the local language.  If you work for an international company that does business in Norway, or has a branch there, think about the possibilities of transferring. Given the difficulties of organising a place to live when you are not able to travel to visit houses or apartments, you will most likely find yourself renting somewhere short-term while you settle in. If you are staying in a holiday rental in the city you want to stay in, you will be able to look through local newspapers and visit local real estate agents.  In some instances the local authority may provide you with assistance, but social housing is generally reserved for those who are unable to get housing on their own.  If you have a job lined up you should talk to your future employer and ask them to help you get set-up when you arrive. EU/EEA citizens are entitled to live, work, and study in Norway. If you intend to stay for more than three months, however, you will need to register with the local police service. If you are working in Norway, you will also need to obtain a tax card, which will provide you with a personal identification number and enable your taxes to be deducted from your earnings.  You can begin the registration process online. Visit the website of the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (NDI):...

Search for a sterling silver quality mark. Listen for a bell-like ring. Smell the item. Examine the item's malleability.

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

. Precious metals are stamped with a quality mark, a symbol or series of symbols that denote its type, purity, and authenticity. If your item contains a sterling silver quality mark, it must also contain the maker's hallmark. In the US, it is not required to stamp precious metals with quality marks, but if you do have a quality mark, there MUST be a maker's hallmark alongside it.. The United Kingdom, France, and the United States of America each have a distinct marking system.  American sterling silver is marked with one of the following hallmarks: “925,” “.925,” or “S925.” the 925 indicates that the piece contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals.  Sterling silver items made in the UK contain a stamp of a lion. In addition to this stamp, UK made items will also contain a town mark, a duty mark, a date letter, and a sponsor's mark. These marks will vary from item to item. France currently marks its sterling silver items with the head of Minerva (92.5% and below) or a vase (99.9% pure silver). When sterling silver is gently tapped, it will produce a high-pitched bell-like tone that lasts for 1 to 2 seconds. To conduct this test, carefully tap the sterling silver item with your finger or a metal coin. If the item is truly sterling silver, it will generate a high-pitch ring. If you do not hear a ring, the item is not sterling silver. When you tap the item, use extreme caution so you do not ding or dent it. Silver does not produce a smell. Hold the item up to your nose and smell it carefully for a few moments. If you sense a strong smell, the item the item likely contains too much copper to be sterling silver. Copper is a common alloy in sterling silver, but 925 sterling does not contain enough to make a smell. Silver is a soft, bendable metal. To determine if the item is silver, you can attempt to bend the item with your hands. If it bends easily, the item is probably made from pure silver or sterling silver. If the item does not bend, it is less likely that it is made from silver or sterling silver.


Search for abandoned houses online. Drive through neighborhoods. Talk to neighbors about the house. Inspect the property. Check with the city or county records office.

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

You may be able to find abandoned houses near you by searching online real estate websites and property databases. If you have a specific property in mind, you can search its address to learn more about it.  Look for listings on real estate sites with keywords such as "immediate possession," "must sell," "below market value," or "under appraisal." These properties are likely recently abandoned, or may have been subject to foreclosure. If you're looking for abandoned houses to photograph or explore, you may be able to find an online forum or website that covers abandoned houses and other properties in your area. If you know of areas near you where there might be abandoned houses, you can go out and explore. If the area seems like a safety risk, have a friend or loved one come with you.  Look for signs of abandonment, such as an overgrown yard or boarded-up windows. Multiple for-sale signs in the yard also may be a sign that the place has been abandoned – especially a sign that says "For Sale by Owner." If you see a house that looks abandoned from the road, find a public place nearby where you can park and get a closer look from the sidewalk. You need to be cautious about trespassing on private property, so it's probably best if you don't pull straight into the driveway. If the houses next to the abandoned house you've found seem occupied, knock on the door and ask them about the property. They can probably tell you if it's actually abandoned, and how long it's been empty.  If you're interested in purchasing the house, the neighbors may be able to give you some information about the people who previously lived there. Neighbors may be able to fill you in further on the extent of the house, or how long it's been since someone lived there. If the place is truly an eyesore, they may be aggravated enough about the situation to talk about it at length. You may want to consider taking notes if they have any concrete information you can use to get information about the house. Ask them for contact information in case...

Search for celebrity addresses by finding their agents online. Locate celebrity addresses on other parts of the web. Send autograph requests directly to home stadiums. Wait for a reply.

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

An online alternative to magazine searches is the use of IMDB and their subscription service IMDBpro which lists the agents of many actors, providing you with information to help you direct your letters to the right agent. Although sending autograph requests to agents and firms come at a 50-60% response rate, sending your letter to those places prove no good if the celebrity is no longer with the agent or agency. There are a handful of other websites that help you keep your celebrity addresses current.  As previously mentioned, The Internet Movie Database is a great credible resource for information on people working in television and film. Find your celebrity by searching their name in the search engine provided. Other sites like FanMail.biz and Celebrity Fans are other free online resources that offer some success with locating celebrity address information. On FanMail.biz, read the forums to check out the success and failure rates other fans have had with writing to celebrities for autographs. Athletes can be reached by contacting them directly through the team they play for. Send the letter at the player’s attention, c/o the team they play for underneath, and include the name of the stadium, and the address on the recipient portion of the envelope.  Look at the official websites for the leagues to get a rundown of the teams and the official venues they call home. For example, for a roundup of baseball teams in the league, find it here: http://mlb.mlb.com/team/  Spring training facilities, TV studios, and minor league affiliates might be an effective way to get a reply to sent autograph requests as well. Celebrities are very busy people with hectic and demanding schedules. Have patience for the length of time it takes to hear back from an autograph request you’ve sent. Sometimes it takes weeks, sometimes it takes months. It can even take up to a year to hear back from a celebrity, so be patient.

Pull a majority of the cards from the center of the deck into the shuffling hand while gently sliding some of the cards off the top with your supporting thumb to keep them in the palm.  Press those cards with your thumb toward the fingers of the supporting hand and drop the the cards from your shuffling hand back onto the top of the deck in the supporting hand. Repeat this shuffle.  Peel off more cards from the deck in your shuffling hand with the thumb of the supporting hand, until most of the cards are back in the supporting hand.  When there are not enough cards left to shuffle in the shuffling hand, drop the rest of the cards on top of the stack in the supporting hand. Tilt your supporting hand slightly past vertical so that you can see the face of the cards.  Search for the cards you want in your hand. When you identify a card you would like in your hand, drag the rest of the cards off of it, so that the card you want is at the bottom of the deck.  Pull your thumb across the card you want in your hand.  Pinch it between your thumb and forefinger to drag it to the top of the deck.  Continue to shuffle the rest of the cards after floating your card to the top to hide the move. Keep the card on top by performing a slip to hold it in place.  Firmly place your last three fingers on the top card as you shuffle the others through the deck. Use a second card deal to deal yourself the top cards and deal the second card to everyone else.  For instance, if you are playing Poker, you will want to have 5 cards on top which set up a good...


Search for inspiration before you shop. Use colors that complement your existing decor for a cohesive look. Make a statement with a sofa in a bold color or pattern. Choose a neutral sofa to match any room. Match the color to outdoor scenery to liven up the room.

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

Pick up a few interior design magazines like Home Decor and Country Living to help get you started. These magazines will not only give you some helpful hints on choosing colors but will also be full of pictures of professionally designed rooms that can give you a clear idea of what you want. You can also search online on sites like HGTV or Pinterest for some insight and inspiration. You can also visit furniture stores and home decor shops to see what's in season and on trend. An easy way to choose a color for a sofa is to base it off other colors already in the room. Using complementary colors on the color wheel will guarantee a match and take out some of the guesswork in trying to find the perfect sofa shade.  For example, if you have a lot of orange in the room via lamps, rugs, or paintings, then a couch which has a blue hue would be a great addition. Or, if you have a large violet-colored tapestry, try a chartreuse or green sofa. You could also choose colors in the same family as your existing decor. if you have cool-colored wood floors, try a cool-colored couch. A black sofa would look great with gray flooring. If you're working with a new or empty room, you may want to pick a sofa in a neutral color so you can easily build off of it when decorating the rest of the space. As a sofa is usually the centerpiece of a room, try making it stand out. Pick bold jewel-tones like jade, ruby, and sapphire or a contrasting color to make the sofa pop. For example, if you have bright white carpet, pick a dark gray sofa or something black. You can also pick large patterns like floral prints or chevron stripes to bring the sofa into the forefront. Be mindful if choosing a particular pattern, though. Different fabrics can cause a sofa to cost more in the long run. A sofa in a neutral color like cream, gray, or navy will look great in any room. You can also easily change the look of your sofa by adding throws or pillows. For instance, you could jazz up a gray sofa with a red blanket and a few pillows with a red and white...


Search for medical schools. Apply through your AMCAS or AACOMAS account. Pay the fees. Complete your application. Get your letters of evaluation. Mind the timeline. Wait for a response.

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

Medical school is a huge commitment of time, money, and effort. Be sure to pick the one that best suits your career goals.  Consider your chance of acceptance. You can use online tools that allow you to enter your MCAT score and GPA into a database that will then compare your scores with the average from each medical school in the country and give you a sense of how competitive you are. This may be an example of building a list of schools you might want to consider. Find the balance between being realistic and aiming high. Top 10 medical schools receive thousands of applicants and send out almost as many rejections. Pick a range of schools to apply to--one or two "reach" schools (ones you may not get into) as well as schools whose average MCAT scores and GPAs are in line with your own plus a "safety" school (one you feel certain you'd be accepted to).  Many American students apply to medical schools in Caribbean countries as part of their "safety" school strategy. Talk to alumni. If you really want to know about a school from a student's point of view, talk to a student who has been there. Seek out people who attended the schools you are interested in and ask them about the coursework and faculty as well as about social life. Consider cost. Medical school is expensive, so you have to look at cost when you are deciding where to apply. If you are interested in a school that you cannot quite afford, find out about scholarship opportunities. If cost is a major consideration, focus your search on state schools, as they are generally less expensive than private schools. Most students have to take out loans to finance their med school education. It takes a number of years to establish yourself as a physician and to be able to pay back your loans. Try not to overburden yourself financially if possible. You do not want your debt to cause extreme stress or to find that it will later limit your career options. Think about location. Medical school is grueling and it will not leave you much time for family and friends,...

Search for stored passwords on the account holder's computer. Write down what you know about the password's creator. Make use of any relevant information. Talk to people who might know the password.

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

If you have access to the physical machine from which the account holder works, they may store their commonly-used passwords in a document somewhere.  Most computers allow for a cursory search of documents from within a search bar (PCs) or the Finder app (Macs). Try typing in keywords like "password", "account", and "user name" (or "username").  Be sure to search for hidden files as well. This can be information ranging from their date of birth to their favorite pet's name. The goal here is to figure out possible answers to their security questions as well as candidates for their password itself. For example, their favorite pet's name followed by a number might be a password. If you can't figure out their password based on general guesses and they don't have an explicitly labeled password file on their computer, try using everything you know about them to guess the password. Some helpful information may include the following:   Personal information (e.g., their favorite pet's name) - This can help you guess their security questions, which often allow you to bypass a password if you enter them correctly.  Social media details - If you're friends with them on social media (or you know someone who is), their likes and interests listed there may be reflective of the answers to their security questions as well. Especially if you are a parent attempting to view a child's account or an employer investigating fraud, you probably have the authority to speak with people who may know something about your target password.


Search for the city or county's law enforcement website. Provide the individual's information. Retrieve your results. Consider also checking neighboring counties.

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

Many cities and counties, particularly in more populous areas, have their arrest records available online as a searchable database. You'll need basic identification information about the person for whom you're searching.  If the city or county has its arrest records online, this can save you a lot of time because you can search several locations quickly without having to make a lot of phone calls or drive all over the city. You typically can find out if an online database is available by doing a general internet search for "arrest records" and the name of the city or county. You may want to include your state as well to narrow the results, since some cities or counties have relatively common names and may exist in many parts of the country. Look for a website with a URL that has a .gov or a .us extension. While not every city or county website uses these extensions, that's the easiest way to make sure you've got an official website. Keep in mind that arrest records are public information. You should never pay a fee to look up arrest records online. At a minimum, you'll need to know the person's full legal name to search the arrest records and find out anything useful. If the person has an extremely common name, you may need additional information to distinguish them.  Searching an online database can be less forgiving than talking to someone in person. If you don't have the person's exact legal name, or know the correct spelling, you may not retrieve any results. You also can't overlook the possibility that the person's name may have been entered incorrectly in the database, even as the result of a simple typo. For example, you may be looking for someone named "Sarah Lincoln," but if the person who entered her information in the database typed it as "Sarah Lincoln" by mistake, you may not find her. Many online databases allow you to provide additional information if you have it, such as the person's gender and their age or birthdate. As with their name, you can't guess – it needs to be the exact information...


Search for your book in the library's card catalog. Obtain the call number contained in a book's entry. Go to the shelves. Look for a label matching both the call number and the author's last name.

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

This system is likely computerized. If you are having trouble, ask a librarian for help or have her simply look it up for you. The Dewey Decimal System applies only to nonfiction books. This system organizes the books by topic, ranging from genetics to Victorian England to astrology. The call number will contain three digits or more. Record both the number and the author's last name before you begin your search. Skim the spines of the books you pass to find the ones with the same first digit as your desired book. Then search those books for ones with the same second digit, and so on. Here's an example:  Let's say you are looking for a book with Dewey Decimal number 319.21. Find the aisle that 319 would fall under, ignoring the decimals for now. For example, "300.2–340.99" would be the correct aisle, since 319 falls between 300 and 340. Walk down the shelf looking at the spines until you find the books beginning with 319. Search within the books beginning 319 to find the one you're looking for. These are arranged by the value of the decimal, so 319.21 falls between 319.20 and 319.22. There may be multiple books with the same call number, so check the author's name to confirm that you've found the one you selected in the card catalog.


Search for yourself. Consider what you can do to make changes to your online reputation where it lets you down. Seek legal advice if the reputation-diminishing issue of search engine returns is highly damaging or endangering your life.

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

What is coming back right now? Are you happy with it? What aspects of it do you think could be improved? What aspects do you consider are currently problematic?  Do you even have a reputation online? No digital presence can be viewed by tech-savvy employers as odd and possibly decrease your chances of employment. Use Google Alerts, Yahoo Alerts, etc. to bring back anything with your name in it. If your name is commonplace, include other identifying factors linked just to you, such as your hometown, your business name, your job title or a hobby you actively participate in, etc., or you'll get snowed under with every other return for Joe Smith and Jane White too! There are online services that can track your comments trail (forums, message boards, blogs, etc.), check your Twitter reputation, search blogs for your name, etc. There are sites that show when people have searched for you or asked questions about you. Focus on what you know you're most active on, then work your way down the list. In many cases, this may be as simple as deleting a profile or messages from specific sites and waiting out the time for the search engine to stop returning these as top returns (in some instances, you can apply to have removal of search returns sped up). In other cases, you may need to seek professional help to get bad returns from continuing.  Contact a person who has uploaded damaging images, information or videos of you first. Ask that person nicely to remove it. Don't use curse words or rude statements––keep it clear, simple and factual and ask the other person to kindly remove the offending information. Contact webmasters of sites to ask that your details or offending information be removed.  If you can't find details on the website for a webmaster, check Whois for more information. In some cases, the webmaster may ignore or refuse your request, or you won't be able to find the webmaster at all (it does happen). In which, case, keep trying while doing other positive things. Google suggests overriding the negative with...


Search inside your home. Search outside if you can’t find it. Determine if you have a fuse box or a circuit breaker box.

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

Keep an eye out for a metal box, usually flush with the wall. The box will have a metal door to keep the breakers or fuses protected. Check your garage for the circuit breaker or fuse box. It might also be in a storage room, the basement, or a hallway.  If you can't find your box in one of these areas, look again or see if you can spot where the power connects to your house from outside. Check for your box in the surrounding areas. If you live in an apartment, check in a cupboard or hallway. Depending on how old your house is, your circuit breaker or fuse box could be outside. Check next to the meter box for your house.  If you have trouble finding your circuit breaker or fuse box, ask a neighbor where theirs is. If you live in a neighborhood with houses built in the same era, the boxes may be in similar locations. Call an electrician if you can't find your circuit breaker or fuse box. Some boxes can be hard to find depending on additions or remodeling done to the house. Once you've found your box, open the door. If you see rows of switches, you have a circuit breaker box. Fuses are round and screw into sockets in the fuse box, much like a light bulb. Older homes tend to have fuse boxes. If you have a particularly large house, you may even have multiple fuse or breaker boxes.


Search near bodies of slow-moving water for cattails, sometimes called bull rushes. Locate trees with patches of tinder fungus, a specific growth that works excellently as tinder. Whittle bamboo reeds into thin shavings.

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

Cattails are common throughout Europe and America and are abundant around swamps and ponds. You want to use the bushy, cotton-like material on the top of the stem which flourishes in the fall as the plant goes to seed. Simply snap it off and ignite.     In mid to late summer, cattails bloom into a brown sausage-shaped substance on the top of the cattail. This part of the plant works for tinder as well. Snap it off and break or cut it open to get to the driest material possible.     Cut off a large piece and break it into smaller chunks if it is sufficiently dry.  Tinder fungus predominantly grows on birch trees, which can be identified by their white bark, and has the appearance of a chunk of burnt or blackened crusty bark.     If the material is wet, you can slowly air-dry the fungus over time for later use.    Holding a knife at a right angle with the blade pointing away from your body, run the blade back and forth to create small shavings. Your shavings should look similar to sawdust.


Search official government websites. Call the court clerk. Check the public records at a county courthouse. Use an online third-party service.

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

If you have access to the Internet, then you can quickly find out whether or not there is a local warrant out for your arrest. Go to the city, county, state or federal website where you think you might have a warrant for arrest. Government websites are kept up-to-date, which makes them a reliable way to get information.  All federal government websites end in .gov, while those for states can end in either .gov or .us. Look for the "Legal" or "Health and Safety" sections to see if they offer a warrant search. Alternatively, try entering a phrase such as "arrest warrant" in the search bar on the website's home page. Some counties do not offer online warrant searches. In that case, look at the local sheriff or police department site for contact information. If you would like to speak to someone, you can call the court directly. You can call any court in the state that you believe the warrant may be in, because states maintain a warrant database that can be accessed from any state court. Do not identify yourself; instead, simply ask if there is an outstanding warrant for "Person X" (using your name here) in a criminal or civil case. Have the following information ready: the case number (if you know it), name, birth date, and Social Security number.  The court clerk of one circuit may not be able to give you information if you have an arrest warrant from a different circuit court. Keep in mind that for some cases such as family and juvenile delinquency cases, and domestic violence cases involving protective, peace, or restraining orders, you may not be able to find information through the court clerk. However, the clerk should still be able to tell you about an arrest warrant, even if he or she cannot give your specific information on the case itself. Criminal cases are mostly public record, so you should not have an issue getting information on these. However, some types of civil cases are not public record, such as family and juvenile delinquency cases, and domestic violence cases involving protective, peace, or...
