Measure the width and length where you will hang the valance. Add 5 inches (13 cm) to the width and 3 inches (7.6 cm) to the length. Multiple the width by 1.5 if you want a gathered valance (optional). Choose a fabric for the valance. Cut your fabric to the desired dimensions.

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

To determine the dimensions of your valance fabric, measure the area where you will hang the valance. Measure the window from side to side to get the width of the valance, and measure from the curtain rod to the part of the window where you want the valance to end to get the length of your valance. Record these measurements. You can make your valance as long or short as you want, but they typically only cover the top quarter or third of the window. Therefore, if your window is 45 inches (110 cm) long, then your valance might be 12 inches (30 cm) to 15 inches (38 cm) long. To ensure that you will have enough fabric to hem the edges, you will need to add onto the measurements you took. Add 5 inches (13 cm) to the width measurement and 3 inches (7.6 cm) to the length measurement. For example, if the width measurement was 23 inches (58 cm), then add 5 inches (13 cm) for a new total of 28 inches (71 cm). If the length measurement was 30 inches (76 cm), then add 3 inches (7.6 cm) for a total of 33 inches (84 cm). For a gathered look, multiply the width of your window by 1.5 and use this as your width measurement for the valance fabric. For example, if the width of your window is 30 inches (76 cm), then you could multiply by 1.5 for a total of 45 inches (110 cm). However, having a gathered curtain is a style choice, not a necessity. You can use any type of fabric you like for the valance. Choose a lightweight fabric for a sheer valance, or opt for a fabric that is meant for home décor for a heavier valance. Make sure that you purchase a little more fabric than you think you might need.  Opt for cotton, lace, or a sheer fabric for a lightweight curtain. Choose brocade, flannel, or wool for a heavier curtain. Lay your fabric out on a flat surface with the print side facing down. Then, measure and mark the inside of the fabric with fabric chalk or a pencil to indicate where you need to cut it. You can use a ruler or other straight edge to draw lines on the fabric. Cut along these lines.


Measure the width of every door you will install stripping on. Add up the width of all the doors you measured. Add another 5-10% to factor in waste. Measure the height of the gap under your door. Make a note of your measurements.

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

If multiple doors need new stripping, take the measurements for all of them. You can do this by using a tape measure across the width of the bottom of the door. Write down your measurements. Remember, you are measuring the door itself, not the width of the doorway. Once you have measured every door you plan to buy new stripping for, add up all the measurements you took. Check your math a few times to make sure it’s correct. It’s always better to have too much than to have to go back to the store and buy more. Multiply the total width of all your doors by 1.05 or 1.1. This is how much you will buy from the store. For instance, if you measure all the doors you’re buying stripping for and their combined width is 108 inches (270 cm), you should multiply this number by at least 1.05, which would be 113.4 inches (288 cm). This is especially important if you are using a different type of stripping than you had before. You want to make sure the product you buy will be large enough to fill the gap but not so large that you can’t close the door easily. Check your math a few times to make sure it’s correct. Then make a note of the number you came up with, so you will remember when you get to the store.


Measure the width of the closet. Consider various types of closet bars and purchase one. Purchase rod sockets. Get wood screws and the attachment tools you will need.

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

Before you purchase your closet rod, you need to know how long it has to be. Every closet varies, so it's important to measure the width of your specific closet with a tape measure so you can purchase the correct length. Make sure you measure the width of the closet in the area where the rod will be installed. The width of another area, such as the bottom of the closet, could vary dramatically from the upper part of the closet where the rod will be located. There are a wide variety of closet bars available at most home improvement and hardware stores. In general, you can choose between metal and wood. You will also have the option of getting a solid bar or one that is adjustable.  Many home improvement stores also stock closet bar kits. These kits include all of the parts you will need to put up your bar: the bar, sockets, and anchors. Whatever type of closet rod you choose, make sure it is the right length. Solid rods can be cut to length, but there are also many adjustable rods that can work in a variety of closets. To install a closet bar you insert the ends of it into sockets that are attached to the wall. These sockets come in a wide variety of styles and are usually made of either metal or wood. If you choose a metal socket, you can typically also choose from several finishes, including silver and white. Some rod sockets are attached to shelf brackets. These can be used to hold the rod and to put a shelf above the rod area. In order to put the closet bar up securely, you will need to anchor it appropriately. Many sockets come with screws, but if yours don't, you will need to purchase some separately. You will also need a few tools to attach the clothes bar. These include a drill, a screwdriver, and a saw for adjusting the length of the bar and cutting structural support pieces. Typically, you will need at least 3 wood screws that are about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long for each socket.


Measure the width of the door frame. Measure the sides of the door frame. Cut the wood.

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

Break out the tape measure. You'll need to know how wide your door frame is so the jamb fits in it. Hold the tape measure up to the top of the door frame. Note the measurement and save it for later. Keep in mind that if the door has 2x4 walls, then the frame will be 4-1/2" (11.4 cm). If the door has 2x6 walls, then the frame will always be 6-1/2" (16.5 cm). Take your tape measure to one side of the door frame. Note the length and mark this on one piece of wood. If you have level ground, this measurement will be the same for the other side. Most likely they'll be different, so measure the other side of the frame and mark its length on another piece of wood. Don't forget to also measure the top part of the frame for the smaller piece of wood. Suit up with safety gear, including gloves, safety glasses, and a visor, before turning on your circular saw. Thin the pieces of wood so they fit within the frame. Follow up by cutting their length according to the measurements you took earlier.


Measure the width of the door. Determine the height of the door. Figure out the thickness of the door. Measure the height and width of the framed door space.

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

Run a tape measure along your door from the left corner to right corner, and record this number. It is important that you only measure the door. Do not include any other elements, such as weather-stripping.  Particularly with older doors, it is important to measure in more than one location, just in case the door is not perfectly rectangular. If the amounts vary, use the largest figure. Door widths of 30 inches (76 cm), 32 inches (81 cm) and 36 inches (91 cm) are considered "standard." Run your tape measure along your door from the top corner to the bottom corner, and write this number down. You may need to use a chair and/or ask a friend to help you. Once again, measure only the door itself and no other elements, such as a door sweep.  Once again, it is wise to measure in more than one spot on the door, just in case it's not a perfect rectangle. This is especially true for older doors. If the amounts vary, use the largest figure. The most common height for doors is 80 inches (200 cm). Hold a tape measure to the edge of the door and record its thickness. Measure this edge on the door frame (known as the jamb), as well. These numbers should be close to the same, but it can be helpful to know both of them. The most common thickness is 1.75 inches (4.4 cm). Just to be safe, measure the area where your door will go, too. Record the height and width of the door frame space. This will help ensure that you select the exact right replacement door.  Measure the width of the door in 3 locations. Use the smallest figure as your measurement. Measure the height of the door right in the middle. Measure from the floor to the underside of the trim at the top of the door. If you must, it is always better to round down than round up. This helps to ensure that your door will fit.


Measure the width of your bat house to plan the mounting brackets. Cut 2 pieces of 1 by 4 in (2.5 by 10.2 cm) wood to length. Mark 4 pilot holes evenly across the back of the bat house. Drill pilot holes into the bat house. Copy the pilot holes to the middle of your wooden brackets. Screw the wooden brackets onto the bat house. Attach the bat house to your wall with wood screws.

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

Your mounting bracket will need to be wider than the bat house so that it can be attached to a wall. As a rough guide, measure the width of the bat house and add roughly 6 inches (15 cm) to its length to find the required size of your brackets. The excess wood on either end of your brackets needs to be drilled into something sturdy, such as a stud in your wall. You may need to add more than 6 inches (15 cm) to ensure that you can drill through the bracket into something solid. Measure out 2 lengths of 1 by 4 in (2.5 by 10.2 cm) wood to be the required size of your mounting brackets. Mark the length with a pencil and use a handsaw or something similar to cut through it. This should create 2 evenly sized wooden mounting brackets.  The brackets do not need to be exactly the same length, as long as they are bigger than the measurements you noted. It is possible to mount the bat house with only 1 bracket, but this will make it less secure and increase the chances of it falling when bats are inside. The pilot holes need to be evenly spaced and marked on the back edges of the side panels of the bat house, so that the screws go into the sides rather than through the back paneling. Mark 2 points roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top of the house on each edge. Mark a second point 2 inches (5.1 cm) below it, before repeating the same process near the bottom of the bat house.  You should have 2 sets of 4 pencil marks across the very edges of the back of your bat house. These are the points that you will drill into to mount the house to your wall. By drilling into the sides of the house rather than the back wall, you’ll prevent exposed screws from penetrating the inside of the house where bats will nest. Pilot holes ensure that the screws will go into the wood of the bat house safely and easily. Attach a 3⁄32 in (0.24 cm) drill bit to an electric drill and use it to drill into the spots you marked on the back of the bat house. As long as the size of the drill bit, and therefore the size of the pilot hole, is smaller than...


Measure the width of your whiteboard. Locate studs Drill a hole through the top and bottom of your whiteboard. Align the pre-drilled holes with studs. Place a level on top of your whiteboard. Place screws through the holes and into the studs.

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

Before you determine where to hang your whiteboard, measure its width.This will help you determine where to place the screws so they will effectively screw into the studs. If you have three studs, be sure to divide your measurements into threes. If you have two, divide into two, and so forth. within the wall. Drywall alone is not enough to hold up a whiteboard, so using a stud finder (or through simply knocking on the wall), identify the location of the studs adjacent to your chosen space. Mark the studs to refer back to.  To use a stud finger, place the finder flush against the wall, press the button, and slide it along the wall until you hear a “beep” indicating that a stud was located. Measure the area between the studs, as well, to help you determine where to drill. Drill a hole into the top and bottom of your whiteboard, measuring the area to align with your studs. This is particularly crucial if your whiteboard has a metal frame, rather than a wooden one, as metal will not allow a screw to be drilled directly into it. Make sure you use a drill bit that matches the size of your screws. Place the pre-drilled holes against the wall in line with the studs you found. You can hold your board up by yourself, if it is small, or prop it up with a table or ladder if it is large. You can also hold the board with one hand and screw the whiteboard into the wall with the other, if coordination allows. Before you place all of the screws into the wall, place a level on top of your whiteboard to make sure the top of your board is even. If it is not, quickly alter your placement. You can tape your level to the top of the whiteboard to hold it in place as you try to maneuver it. Line your screws up with the holes you've drilled. Pressing firmly, screw your whiteboard into the wall with an electric drill, trying to keep your screws as even as possible.  If you find your arm slipping, or the screw going in sideways, stop and start again, keeping the screw steady and straight. If you accidentally mess up on a hole, you can...


Measure where your hinges will go. Hang your door. Test your door by opening and closing it again. Increase the tension in the hinges if the door opens and closes too freely. Adjust your latch.

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

Install your hinges. Ask a friend to help you lift the door into place to get it onto the hinges. Thread the pins through the door and jamb portions of the hinge. If your latch hardware is not installed, install the doorknob so that you can test the door.  Remove the pins from the door and set your door aside. Place the pin on a hard floor and hit it several times with a hammer. Rehang the door. The pins will be slightly curved and have more resistance against the hinges. If the door is rattling, bend the prong on the strike plate toward the doorstop. It the door is not catching, bend the prong away from the doorstop. Then, tighten all the screws.


Measure your chair's cylinder. Buy a length of PVC pipe. Saw through the PVC pipe lengthwise Snap the pipe onto the chair cylinder. Add more pipe to adjust the height of the chair.

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

Pull down the plastic skirt cover the extendable, metal cylinder. Estimate the diameter of the cylinder by holding a ruler across it horizontally. Also measure the length of the cylinder when the chair is at the perfect height. You shouldn't need an exact measurement, but you can calculating the diameter from the circumference if you prefer to be precise. This pipe will fit over the pneumatic cylinder of the chair. It should be about the same size as the cylinder diameter, or slightly larger. Pipe 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter works well for most models. Buy enough straight pipe to extend from the wheel base of your chair to the seat, when the chair is at the preferred height.  The pipe does not have to be in one piece. It may be easier to work with in smaller pieces, although you can easily cut it yourself at home. One user reports using a tall stack of plastic shower rings instead of PVC pipe. These are even cheaper and easier to install, but they may not be sturdy enough to support your weight. Try at your own risk. . Secure the pipe in a vise. Use a hacksaw or back saw to cut through the pipe from tip to tip, but only on one side. The end result should be a pipe with a slit in it, not two half-pipes.  Wearing a mask or respirator is recommended while cutting PVC to avoid inhaling irritating particles.  If you do not have a vise or cutting tools, just leave the pipe intact and remove the chair's wheels so you can slide on the pipe. In most cases, you can remove the wheel base by pressing a retaining clip on the underside with a screwdriver. Pull the chair's plastic skirt up or down to reveal the metal cylinder. Push the slit side of the PVC pipe against the cylinder to snap it around the cylinder. It should now hold the chair in place, preventing it from sliding down. If you're having trouble snapping the pipe on, saw it into shorter pieces and try again. If the chair is still too low, raise it and snap on another piece of pipe. You will not be able to lower the chair again without removing the pipe, so...


Measure your chest. Take your overarm measurement. Measure your neck. Take your sleeve measurement.

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

Raise your arms out to the side and run the tape measure around your shoulder blades, under each arm and around the fullest part of your chest. Lower your arms and assess the measurement. Make the measurement snug, but not tight. Put both arms at your side and place the tape measure around your chest and both shoulders, just below where your collar bone ends. Feel with your finger to find the nub of your collarbone and make the measurement just below that point. Circle the tape measure around your neck and record the measurement. You want the tape measure down as close as possible near your collar line, just above your clavicle, not up around your throat. This will ensure that you receive an accurate shirt size. Allow one of your arms to hang straight at your side. Place the tape measure near the bottom of the back of your neck. Run the tape measure over the top of your shoulder and then down your straight arm to a point approximately one inch before you get to your wrist. You also may need to provide your coat in-sleeve measurement. Put the tape measure on the inside of your arm, slightly below your wrist. Pull the tape up into your underarm for the complete measurement.


Measure your cushion to determine how much fabric you will need. Choose durable fabric, then cut it according to your measurements. Center the cushion on the wrong side of the fabric. Safety pin the top and bottom edges of the fabric to the cushion. Fold the side edges into flaps, then pin them to the cushion. Use the cushion.

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

Measure the length and width of your cushion. Add the height of the cushion plus 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) to each edge (top, bottom, left, and right). This will allow you to wrap the edges of the fabric onto the back of the cushion. This method is not meant to be a permanent solution, but a temporary one. Choose a durable fabric, such as canvas or outdoor fabric. Flip it over so that the wrong side is facing you. Draw a large square or rectangle based on your measurements. Cut the square or rectangle using a sharp pair of fabric scissors. Make sure that the wrong side of the fabric is facing you. Place the cushion on top, with the underside facing you. Make sure that the cushion is centered on the fabric. If the cushions are made out of foam, leave the existing cover on them (even if they look shabby and worn). This will make it easier to safety pin the new cover onto the cushion. Wrap the top edge of the fabric onto the underside of the cushion. Safety pin the edges of the fabric to the cushion. Repeat this step for the bottom edge, making sure that the fabric is pulled taut.  The fabric will not cover the entire underside of the cushion, which is fine. It does need to be pulled taut, however. Space the safety pins a few inches/centimeters apart. Use just enough so that the fabric doesn’t wrinkle. Fold the corners of the left side edge to make a trapezoidal flap. Wrap the flap over the edge of the cushion, then secure it to the back with safety pins. Repeat this step for the right side.  This technique is similar to how you would wrap a present. You'll need at least 1 safety pin on the diagonal edges of the flap. If your cushion is very large, you might need more safety pins along the straight edge. Once you have the cushion covered to your liking, flip it back over and set it down onto your patio furniture. If you need to clean or recover the cushion, simply remove the safety pins, then wash the fabric as recommended by the manufacturer.


Measure your feet at the end of the day. Measure while wearing the socks you'll use with your shoes. Try shoes on prior to purchase. Buy shoes that will fit your largest foot.

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

The size of your feet fluctuate throughout the day. Feet tend to get bigger at night due to swelling. Measure your feet at night to make sure your shoe will fit throughout the course of a day. If you're going to typically wear socks with your shoes, put your socks on before measuring your feet. For example, running or gym shoes are typically worn with socks, so put on your normal workout socks when measuring your feet. Some shoes, like sandals and some flats, usually are not worn with socks. In this case, it's unnecessary to wear socks while measuring your shoes. Shoe size and width can help you find shoes with a higher chance of fitting. However, even if the measurements are correct, things like the shape of your feet can affect how a shoe fits. It's always better to try shoes on prior to purchase. If you do order shoes online, make sure it's from a company that allows you to return them for a full refund if they don't fit. One foot is usually a little bigger than the other. Use this foot's measurements to determine your shoe's widths. This way, your shoes will fit comfortably on both feet.


Measure your forehead. Measure your cheekbones. Measure your jawline. Measure your face-length. Ask yourself three questions.

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

Using a tape measure, measure across your forehead. Measure from the peak of one eyebrow arch to the arch-peak of the opposite eyebrow. Write down that number. Using a tape measure, measure the distance across your upper cheeks. Start and end at the bump below the outside corner of each eye. Write down that number. Using a tape measure, measure from the bottom tip of your chin to the bottom of your ears. Stop at the place where your jaw angles upward. Multiply that number by two. Write down that number. This is your “jawline.” Using a tape measure, measure from the center of your forehead (at your hairline) to the bottom tip of your chin. Write down that number. Using these measurements as a guide, ask yourself the following:  What is the widest part of my face? What is the shape of my jaw? How long is my face? Is it longer than it is wide, and if so, by how much?


Measure your head with a measuring tape. Determine the size of your hat based on your measurements. Check if the hat fits.

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

Take a measuring tape and wrap it around your head to determine its circumference. Place the measuring tape 1/8 inches (3.17 millimeters) above your ear and across your forehead. Make sure to pull the tape firmly to your head but not too tight.  If you don't have a tape measure, you can download and print a tape measure online. You can also ask a professional hat maker or seller to measure your hat size for you. Take a look at a hat size chart and correspond the measurement of the circumference of your head with the chart. While many hat brands will be similar sizes, they may differ fractions of an inch which can make it harder to find a hat that fits. Many hats are also broken down to their metric measurement, typically ranging from 54 to 65.  For instance, a 22 1/4 inch head circumference is a 7 1/8 sized hat in the US and a size 57 if you use metric measurements.  For Stetson hats, a size 7 1/8 is a medium. When you finally decide on a hat, make sure that you try it on to ensure that it fits. The sweatband inside of the hat should fit comfortably around your head. The top crown of the hat should not touch the top of your head. If the hat is too big and you can't find a suitable size in the style you want, you can apply felt pads to the inside of your hat.


Measure your head with paper. Cut out the paper to fit. Cut out two bunny ears. Cut pipe cleaners to the same height as the ears. Stick the ears to the headband.

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

To make a paper bunny ears hat, the first thing to do is prepare the piece of paper that will be your headband. Wrap a piece of A4 or A3 paper around your forehead at the height you want to wear it. In the middle of your forehead is a good place.  If you have too high it could fall off easily, but if you have it too low it might slip down over your eyes. When you are happy with it, mark with a pen or pencil where two sides of the paper meet in front of your forehead. It's a good idea to leave a little excess, so cut the paper an inch further out than where you made the mark. Cut all the way up the paper and then wrap it around your head again to test the size. Once you are happy with the fit, you can slim down your paper headband by cutting horizontally across the paper. Then stick the two ends of the paper together with glue or tape.  You might need someone else to help you stick it together to make sure it fits properly. The slimmer you cut the band, the less visible it will be. But it will also be more susceptible to tearing. Now you have the headband you need the actual bunny ears. Just cut out two nice bunny ear shapes of equal size. You can do this by using a template or putting two pieces of paper on top of each other and cutting them together.  Once you are happy with the size of your ears, colour them in or decorate them however you like. A traditional bunny ear would be white on the outside with a pink centre. You can add pipe cleaners to the back of your ears to help you control them. You can keep them nice and upright and give them a little bend at the top. Just cut out two pieces of pipe cleaner, one for each ear, to approximately the same height as your bunny ears. Secure a pipe cleaner to the back of each of your bunny ears with tape or glue. Now all you need to do is to stick the bunny ears to the headband and you are ready to wear them. You can stick them to either the inside or the outside of the band, depending on which you think looks better. Use glue, tape or a stapler to fix in the bunny...


Measure your head. Gather your materials. Cut and mold the acrylic globe. Build a simple aluminum frame. Build the sides of the mask. Color the mask gold. Add the lights. Add the wires.

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

Before you start building Guy Manuel's helmet you will want to measure your head.  This will allow you to know what sizes your components will be and will ensure your mask fits.  Measure your head carefully to avoid problems, allowing you to wear it comfortably once the mask is finished.  There are a few measurements that you will need to take in order to get you started.  Measure the circumference of your head.  Use a cloth tape measure, looping it around the area of your head where a hat would rest, to get your head's circumference. Measure the length between the tip of your nose to the back of your head.  You can use a standard ruler for this. Take a measurement between the top of your shoulder ridge and the top of your head. Use a standard ruler to measure the width of your head.  This should be the distance between your temples. Record your measurements and use them to properly size the pieces of your helmet. Before you can get started building your Daft Punk helmet you will need to gather your materials.  It's important that you gather all the materials from the following list as you will be making use of all of them:  Metallic gold spray paint and gold vinyl sheets. Clear acrylic globe. Heat gun. Something to cut with. Battery powered rainbow Christmas lights. LED belt buckle or name-tag Plastic lids.  For example, you can use a lid from a peanut butter jar. Card stock or foam to build the sides of the mask. Wood glue to make the craft foam sturdy. Hot glue to hold things together. 1/16” aluminum flat bar for the mask's frame. Speaker wires. Dark smoke headlight tint-spray. The acrylic globe will be used to create the visor of your mask.  You will need to cut the globe to a certain shape and then bend it using a heat gun.  This will create the proper shape and curvature of this Daft Punk mask visor.  Cut off the sides of the globe to get an 8” mask visor. Stretch this piece using a heat gun so that it matches the shape of Guy's mask. Spray your visor with black car window tint-spray. Cut out some...


Measure your height. Measure your waist. Measure your neck circumference. Measure your hips, if you're a woman. Plug the numbers into one of the formulas below, or use an online calculator.

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

Don't wear shoes, and stand tall. For women, measure the circumference of your waist at the level with the least width, where it narrows or "pinches" in. For men, measure the circumference of your waist at a horizontal level around the navel. Don't pull your stomach in. Place your tape below the larynx and sloping slightly downward to the front. Avoid flaring your neck out or flexing your neck. Measure the circumference of the hips at the largest horizontal measure. Round your answer to the nearest full percent.  Formula for men, inches: %Fat =  86.010*LOG(abdomen - neck) - 70.041*LOG(height) + 36.76 Formula for men, centimeters: %Fat =  86.010*LOG(abdomen - neck) - 70.041*LOG(height) + 30.30 Formula for women, inches: %Fat = 163.205*LOG(abdomen + hip - neck) - 97.684*LOG(height) -  78.387 Formula for women, centimeters: %Fat = 163.205*LOG(abdomen + hip - neck) - 97.684*LOG(height) - 104.912


Measure your hem. Stitch the hems. Try on your finished shorts.

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

Decide what length you'd like the hem to be and mark the shorts again. Shorter hems will produce a neater, more uniform look, while a longer hem will create the appearance of folds. Fold the hem under twice (or over, if you want the folded look) and use a sewing machine to stitch the hem at the proper length. You can also sew the hem by hand, if you prefer. Take care not to stitch the leg opening shut by mistake.  If you don't have access to a sewing machine and want a completed hem for you shorts, take them to any alteration shop to have them stitched for a small price. Place a rounded object in the leg opening and stitch around it to avoid sewing the leg opening shut. You're finished! See how the new shorts look. If the hem is too long or too short, the stitching can be snipped and redone. Experiment with other lengths, hems and styles and add a fresh new dimension to your wardrobe.


Measure your herbs for tea. Place your herbs into a tea infuser. Pour boiling water over the herbs and let it steep. Drink three to four cups per day to get the full benefits.

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

For dry herb teas, you will need to use one teaspoon of the herb you have selected. If you are using fresh herbs, then you will need about three tablespoons of the herb. Fresh herbs still have water in them so they are larger than dried herbs. If you are using willow bark, add three to four one inch pieces to boiling water.  Then, cover and boil the tea for 15 to 25 minutes. Place your herbs into your tea infuser and then place the infuser into a mug. If you do not have a tea infuser, then you can just place your herbs in a mug and strain them out after steeping the tea. Pour one cup of boiling water over your herbs and then allow the tea to steep for 10 to 15 minutes.  After time is up, remove the tea strainer or pour the tea through a fine sieve to remove the herbs. It is best to make teas fresh, but you can store in the refrigerator for one to three days. One serving contains about six to eight ounces of liquid. You can drink three to four cups of herbal tea every day.  Don’t go over four cups per day without speaking to your physician, naturopath, or herbalist first.  You can also add a little honey or lemon to your tea if desired.


Measure your ingredients into a blender. Adjust the color of the fake blood. Consider thickening the fake blood.

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

Get out a blender and measuring cups and spoons. Measure and place each of the ingredients into the blender. This makes one full batch of fake blood that you can use and eat. You'll need:  1/2 cup (120 ml) of red fruit punch 1 cup (300 g) of corn syrup (or golden syrup) 2 tablespoons of red food coloring 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup 2 tablespoons of cornstarch 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder Remove the blender lid and dip a spoon into the fake blood to check the color. Drizzle some of the fake blood onto a white paper towel to get the best idea of the color. If you need to adjust the color, you can add more red food coloring, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder. For example, if the fake blood looks too pink or pale, add a few drops of red food coloring and blend it again. Or if the fake blood looks too bright red, add some more chocolate syrup or powder and blend it again. If you'd like thicker fake blood that's a little globby, add extra corn syrup. For extra thick fake blood, you could double the amount of corn syrup. Keep in mind that you may need to add extra red food coloring, since it will be diluted. If you don't want to use corn syrup, you could substitute golden syrup.


Measure your lawn. Buy sod from a local turfgrass company. Time the delivery so you can lay sod the same day.

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

Use a measuring tape to measure the length and width of the lawn. Multiply the two together to get your lawn's area. Try to get exact measurements so you purchase the right amount of sod. Too little sod will result in an uneven-looking lawn that doesn't grow in as healthy as it should. Too much sod can get very expensive, since it usually runs about $0.40 per square foot. If your lawn is not rectangular, sketch your lawn and divide it into rectangles, triangles, or other easily measured sections. Find the area of each section and add them all together. Choose a company that other people in your area have used before with successful results. The company should provide you with a few different options as to what type of grass will do well in your region. Don't be tempted to order from a faraway place just because it showcases beautiful grass on its website; chances are, the grass won't establish well in your climate. Choose a good company and talk with sales representatives to make a smart choice about what grass to grow.  It's best to choose a grass that's native to your area. This way you can ensure it will grow well in your climate. Cool season grasses (grasses that grow fastest in the spring and fall) like Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, and fine fescue grow best in the northern US states, where the winters are cold and the summers are hot. Warm season grasses (grasses that thrive in very hot weather) like Bermuda grass, centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass, bahiagrass, and zoysiagrass, grow best in the southern states and subtropical regions. When you're deciding which grass to get, take use into account as well. Do you plan to walk over your grass frequently, and play sports or have parties on the lawn? Or do you just want a pretty lawn to gaze upon from the window? Some varieties are sturdy, some are soft, some are high maintenance, and some are more colorful than others. Tell the sales representative what you're looking for. Ask the representative whether they cut and deliver their...


Measure your neck. Measure your abdomen. Measure your height. Enter your data in inches. Interpret your results.

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

The first measurement for males is measuring the neck.    Follow these guidelines to make sure your measurement is accurate:  Look straight ahead. Relax your shoulders without hunching. Place the measuring tape just below the Adam's apple (larynx). Lay the tape flat and pull the tape around the circumference of the neck. Note and record the measurement, rounding up to the nearest half inch. For an example, your neck measurement might be 18 inches. Measuring your core is an essential part of your body fat as this is an area of the body that may contain higher amounts of body fat. Keep the tape flat against your skin, without compressing your soft tissue:  Guide the measuring tape around the waist at the belly button. For best results, let your arms hang at your sides while someone else measures.  Breathe in and exhale normally. Record the abdomen measurement after you have released the breath. For example, your abdomen may measure 35 inches. Your body fat percentage is dependent on your height making this a necessary measurement.  Stand straight against a wall or other flat surface. Pull your shoulders back, keep your head up, and look straight ahead. Place a ruler or straight edge against the top of your head and push it against the wall. Mark this location with a pencil. Extend the measuring tape from the floor up to the pencil mark on the wall. Record this measurement in inches. For example, if you are 6 feet tall, write down 72 inches. Plug the three measurements into the male body fat formula below. For the most accurate answer, enter the full calculation in one line using an online calculator. Here's the formula along with an example using the example measurements above:  %Fat =86.010log(abdomen−neck)−70.041log(height)+36.76{\displaystyle =86.010\log(abdomen-neck)-70.041\log(height)+36.76}=86.010log(35−18)−70.041log(72)+36.76{\displaystyle =86.010\log(35-18)-70.041\log(72)+36.76}=86.010log(17)−70.041log(72)+36.76{\displaystyle =86.010\log(17)-70.041\log(72)+36.76}=12.5{\displaystyle =12.5}The man...


Measure your portion sizes. Count your calories. Eat two to three servings of fruit daily. Make or purchase your own juices. Make smoothies. Consume lean protein and whole grains. Take a supplement. Try new vegetables. Add vegetables to your recipes.

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

With any weight loss plan, it's important to measure your portion sizes.  If you overeat, even relatively healthy foods, you can gain weight.    Decreasing your portion sizes can be a fairly simple way of decreasing your overall calorie intake, which can result in weight loss.  When planning and serving your meals and snacks, follow these standard portion sizes: 1 serving of fruit is 1/2 cup or 1 small whole fruit, 1 serving of grains is 1 oz or 1/2 of a cup, 1 serving of lean protein is 3 oz, and 1 serving of low-fat dairy is 1 cup (milk and yogurt) or 2 oz of cheese.  If you do eat some vegetables, 1 serving of vegetables is 1 cup or 2 cups of leafy vegetables. Counting calories is another fairly simple way to lose weight.  Cutting out a few calories from each meal and snack may help you lose weight.  You can also try swapping out higher calorie foods for lower calorie foods to help decrease your total calorie intake each day.  Losing weight safely means only dropping one to two pounds per week.  In terms of calories, that equates to eating about 500 calories less each day. If you cut out more than 500 calories daily or are eating less than 1200 calories daily, you could be at risk for nutrient deficiencies.  Weight loss achieved with very low calorie diets is generally not sustainable long-term. Fruits and vegetables are one of the main sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in your diet.  Avoiding or minimizing the amount of vegetables you consume can minimize how many nutrients you get through the foods you choose.  Focus on consuming adequate fruit daily to maximize the nutrition content of your diet.  It's recommended to consume about two servings of fruit daily.  This equates to two pieces or two cups of fruit.  Each color fruit offers you a different nutrient.  Choose a variety of fruit and different colored fruits each day to maximize your intake of different nutrients.  Also, eat nutrient-dense fruits.  Although all fruit is a healthy choice, some fruits offer more nutrients than others. ...


Measure your portions. Prepare lean protein sources you both enjoy. Stock up on plenty of fruits and vegetables. Make your grain choices 100% whole grain. Help each other limit snacking. Find ways to stay active together.

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

When you're trying to lose weight, alone or with a partner, portion sizes are a key part of making sure your diet helps support your desired weight loss.  Both of you can help each other stick to proper portion sizes to help you lose weight.  If your portions are too big, even of more nutritious foods, it could still be too many calories for your body weight.  Measuring portions regularly can help you stay on track.  A great thing about losing weight with a partner is that you can measure out portions for each other.  It's hard to stick to smaller portions and too easy to add a little bit too much to your plate. However, if you have your partner measure your portions, they'll be able to give you the exact amount for you without being influenced by your thoughts.  You should measure out the appropriate portion for your partner and vice versa. When both of you are coming up with your meal plan, you'll need to select protein sources to include in your meals.  Protein is essential to weight loss, so both of you will need to focus on this nutrient in your diet.  Protein is not only an essential nutrient for your body, it's also important in the weight loss process.  It helps support your lean muscle mass, metabolism and fuels your body through the day.  Protein also takes a longer time to digest in your stomach.  This leaves you feeling more satisfied longer compared to other nutrients like carbohydrates. Work together to make sure both of you are eating protein at every meal.  You should aim for at least one to two servings of protein at each meal.  Measure out 3 – 4 oz (85 – 113 grams) of protein per serving.  Stick to lower calorie lean protein sources like:  poultry, eggs, low-fat dairy, lean beef, lean pork, legumes or tofu. Both of you will also need to focus on consuming adequate fruits and vegetables during the day.  Like protein, these foods will really help your weight loss efforts.  Both fruits and vegetables should make up about half of your meals and snacks when you're trying to lose weight.  This is...


Measure your rafter boards for your preferred roof style and pitch. Cut your rafter boards Make a birdsmouth notch at the end of each rafter to help it fit into place. Assemble your rafter halves into trusses Attach the end rafters to the wall plates of your shed frame. Run a string between your end trusses to help you set the other rafters. Set your remaining rafters using your centering string for reference.

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

The exact length and angle of your rafters will depend on the overall size of your shed, as well as the style and slope you’ve chosen. The rafters on a steeply-sloped roof, for instance, will be much longer and have more end cuts than those on a flat roof. Once you’ve determined the measurements you need, mark them directly onto a series of 2 in (5.1 cm) x 4 in (10 cm) or 2 in (5.1 cm) x 6 in (15 cm) boards using a carpenter’s pencil.  If you’re planning on building a gable roof with a pitch of 4-12 for a shed that’s 200 inches (510 cm) wide, your rafter boards would need to be 105.3 inches (267 cm) long on each side. Don’t forget to cut the ends of each board to the appropriate angle to allow them to fit together at the peak. to size using a circular saw. Guide the blade over the end of the board slowly, aiming to make each cut as straight and precise as possible. Be sure to adjust your saw’s settings according to the necessary length and angle of your rafters. Take care of all of your sawing at one time. You can then move on to assembling the rafters into trusses and attaching them to your shed frame. A birdsmouth notch is an angled cut that allows a rafter to sit level on top of a wall plate rather than balancing on top. Position your rafter boards at the same angle as your roof’s pitch, then draw a 90-degree angle up from the bottom edge of each board, with the lines corresponding to the height and width of the wall plate, respectively. Cut along these lines to make the notch.  You can also figure out the angle for your birdsmouth notch by placing a piece of scrap wood the same width as the distance between the rafter and the wall plate beside your rafter beam and tracing it onto one side of the beam.  Note that your notches will need to be higher up on your rafter beams if you’re planning on including an overhang. using plywood gusset plates. Trace the upper 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) of your rafter peak onto a sheet of 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) plywood and cut out the triangular plate with a skill saw. Apply a thin...


Measure your roof to find out how much material you need. Purchase the appropriate amount of rolled roofing. Take proper safety precautions when you're on your roof. Clean the roof before starting the roofing. Lay all of your materials out on the floor.

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

If you can, get a friend or someone else to help you. Use a long measuring tape. If your roof is rectangular or square on either side, it's easy to work out the measurements. Measure the length and width and multiply them to find the area of the roof.  If your roof is not uniform and has different sections of different sizes, measure 1 section at a time. Multiply each length and width to find the area of each section. Add the section areas together to find the total area of the roof. Get an extra 5-10% of material to account for overhangs and overlap. Go to your local hardware or building supplies store and ask for enough rolled roofing to fit the area of your roof. Rolled roofing comes in rolls, much like carpet. You can cut the roll to fit corners and other areas. For safety purposes, it's a good idea to have someone with you when you're walking around on a roof. Never go up on your roof when it's wet or if rain is forecast. Roofs become very slippery when wet. Even when it's dry, watch your footing and move slowly when walking on a slanted roof. Wear footwear with proper grip on the soles. Don't go up on your roof with canvas shoes or sneakers on. Before you apply your rolled roofing, you should make sure it's free of excess dirt, grime, or any other substance. Use a brush to sweep away any leaves and dirt or use a leaf blower to blow debris from the top down to the edges. If you can, hose down the roof from the ground or a ladder.  Wear long pants, work gloves, and shoes with deep ridges so they have a good grip. Never go on top of the roof to hose it. Hose it from a safe area where you are in no danger of falling from the roof. Make sure your roof is completely dry before installing your roofing. Have a friend with you to help or alert other people in case you lose your footing on the roof. If you have gutters, clear them out with gloves and a bucket. So you don't get confused later in the process, it's a good idea to take stock of all your items before you start. Roll out the roofing sheets and lay them...


Measure your room. Measure your mattress. Determine whether you want a footboard. Buy a platform bed frame. Buy a bed frame with bottom storage. Choose a color and style.

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

Look at the space where your bed will go, and measure it with a tape ruler. Make sure there is at least a few feet of space to the walls and any furniture in the room. The size of the bed will depend on the size of the room.  Another way to get an accurate measure if you already have a mattress, is to place the mattress on the floor of your room. By doing this, you will see exactly how much space the mattress itself will take up. This will be incredibly helpful in choosing what type of bed frame to buy.   Common bed frame sizes are twin, full, queen, and king. A twin bed frame will fit in a space of 39 inches by 70 inches (99 to 178 cm). For a full bed frame, you will generally need a space measuring 54 by 75 inches (137 by 190 cm). 60 by 80 inches (152 by 203 cm) is a large enough space for a queen bed frame. A king bed frame will require 72 by 84 inches (183 by 213 cm).   These sizes vary between the EU and United States. You should note this in case you buy the bed frame or mattress from a retailer in an EU country. Check the height of the mattress and bed sets you are considering. Then, determine if you need a high or low bed frame. So, if you have a mattress that’s four inches high, then you might want to consider a high bed frame. Using a low bed frame with this mattress might lead to your bed standing too close to the floor. You don’t want the bed frame to be so high that it is difficult to get in and out. At the same time, you don’t want to get a bed frame that is so low that your mattress is touching the ground. Measure how tall you are.  A bed frame that is too small will be uncomfortable, because you will consistently be banging your head or feet when you get into it. Use your height to decide if you need a bed frame with a foot board. If you don’t, you can buy minimal bed frames in both wood and metal. This type of bed frame has wooden slats that hold your mattress up. If you are in the market for a smaller frame, consider buying a platform bed frame.  With some beds, you may not need a box spring...


Measure your space. Convert a bookshelf into a multi-storied dollhouse. Build your dollhouse inside a wardrobe. Create a multi-room home using some cubbies. Stack some boxes or crates together to create rooms. Add separations to make individual rooms. Consider building the dollhouse from scratch.

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

Before you convert something into a dollhouse, you will need to make sure that it will fit the doll and her furniture. You want your doll to be able to stand up comfortably in her house, and you want the furniture to fit easily into the rooms without going over the edges. Whatever space you end up using or building for your dollhouse will need to at least 20 inches tall, 20 inches wide, and 20 inches deep in order to fit both the doll and her furniture. This section will give you several options on where you can build your dollhouse. You can transform a simple bookshelf into a dollhouse, or you can make your own bookshelf. Depending on how wide your bookshelf is, you may be able to add some vertical walls or dividers to create more rooms. Bookshelves take up the least space, and can be turned into multi-storied houses. You can convert a wardrobe into a large dollhouse by adding 2 to 3 shelves inside. Some wardrobes include drawers, which can be used to store extra items for your doll, such as clothes and brushes. The best part about using a wardrobe for a dollhouse is that you can close the doors when playtime is over so that dust, pets, and younger siblings can't get inside. You can purchase a unite with cubbies from a furniture store and turn it into a dollhouse, or you can make your own by stacking several crates together and securing them with wood glue or nails. Make sure that each cubby hole is at least 20 inches tall, or else your doll will not have room to stand up in it. Cubbies will allow you to create multiple rooms without having to insert any dividing walls. You can create a dollhouse by stacking several boxes or crates together. The boxes or crates can be made out of cardboard, wood, or plastic. Secure the creates with nails, screws, or wood glue.  Cardboard boxes will be the cheapest and easiest to paint and decorate, but they will also be the least durable. Multiple cardboard boxes stacked together may begin to sag beneath the weight of the doll and her furniture after a while. Wood will be...


Measure your upper arm. Measure your chest. Measure your waist. Measure your hips. Measure your upper thigh. Measure your calves. Measure your weight. Measure your height. Calculate your body fat or BMI.

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

Measure the circumference around the thickest part of your upper arm, usually at the bicep. Measure the circumference around your chest at its widest point. For most men this will be at the armpits, for most women this will be at the nipple line. Measure the circumference around your natural waist and your lower waist (two separate measurements). The natural waist is the smallest point of your waist (unlike where clothes’ waistlines are located these days) and is usually an inch or two above your bellybutton.  Your lower waist is the widest part of your waist, usually at the bellybutton or just below, where weight is generally gained first. Measure the circumference around your hips at the widest point. This will usually be roughly just above the crotch line. Measure the circumference around your upper thigh at its widest point. This is usually ½ to 3/4’s of the way up your thigh, from the knee. Measure the circumference around your calf at its widest point, usually roughly ¾ of the way up from the ankle. For weight monitoring, you may include your body weight as a body measurement. This measurement will need to be taken with a scale, either electronic or manual. You can find scales for sale at many stores, or for use at gyms and doctor’s offices. The easiest way to measure your height is to stand straight with no shoes on and place your back against a wall. Using a pencil, place the pencil flat against the top of your head with the writing end against the wall. Carefully mark your height against the wall. Step away and measure from the mark down to the floor using any measuring tape. You may wish to use the above measurements to calculate your body fat or BMI if you are intending to monitor your weight loss. Be aware that body fat calculations are frequently inaccurate or unreliable, though BMI is a fairly accurate way of measuring your weight (unless you are a fit athlete, in which case better not).


Measure your waist and add one inch (2.54 centimeters). Cut the elastic according to your measurement. Sew the narrow ends of the elastic together. Press the seam flat, and stitch the edges down. Tuck the skirt inside the elastic and pin it in place. Sew the elastic onto the skirt with a zigzag stitch.

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

Use a fabric measuring tape to measure your waist. Then add one inch to this measurement. The total will be the length of your elastic.  For example, if your waist measurement is 28, then you will need to have 29 inches of elastic. If you are making the dress for a child, try to use a two-inch (5.08) wide elastic. If you are making the dress for an adult, try to use a three-inch (7.62) wide elastic. Black is the most popular color, but a white elastic might look cute against a black skirt. Use a ½ inch (1.27 centimeter) seam, and knot the ends of the thread. Snip off any excess thread when you are done sewing. Turn the elastic so that the seam is facing you. Use your iron to press the two edges down. They should be facing away from each other, and rest flat against the elastic. Topstitch them down.  Be sure to knot the ends of the thread, and to snip any excess off. This will help prevent the elastic from fraying. It will also give you a nice, clean finish on the inside. A sewing machine will give you the cleanest finish, but you can also use fabric glue to tack the two edges down instead. The seam of the elastic should be on the inside. The waist/top hem of the skirt and the bottom edge of the elastic should be overlapping by ¼ inch (0.64 centimeters). Keep in mind that you will not be flipping the skirt inside out. You want to have the entire waistband visible when you are done sewing. Make sure that you stretch the elastic as you sew to ensure that it will be evenly sewn onto the felt. This will allow your waistband to stretch better. Keep sewing until you get to the end of the elastic. When you are done sewing, you should have a sleek waistband for your skirt. Your poodle skirt is now ready to wear!


Measure your waist. Measure your leg length. Choose your fabric.

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

Sarongs are generally just large rectangles of fabric that can be wrapped and tied in different ways. They typically measure anywhere from 66 to 72 inches (168 to 183 cm) across, depending on your measurements. Using a fabric tape measure, measure your waist. To measure your waist, measure around the narrowest part of your abdomen between your rib cage and hips.  If the measurement is 33 inches (84 cm) or less, a 66-inch (168-cm) sarong will be plenty. If your waist measures more than 33 inches (84 cm), consider making the sarong 72 inches across (183 cm). The width of a sarong usually matches the length from hip to foot, so it generally ranges from 36 to 44 inches (91 to 112 cm). To determine the proper length for you, use your measuring tape to measure the length from your hip to your heel. You can use your leg length to determine the length of your sarong, or you can make it longer or shorter based on your preferences. For instance, if you want your sarong to be knee-length, make a note of the measurement from your hip to your knee. Sarongs are summertime accessories that are designed to be folded and tied, so they are usually made of thin, lightweight materials, and some of them are sun-protective. Popular fabrics for sarongs include:  Cotton voile Polished cotton Satin Nylon blends Chiffon fabrics


Measure your waist. Relax when measuring. Take additional measurements if needed. Subtract 4”-5” from your waist measurement. Select the closest corset size.

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

Use fabric measuring tape to measure around your waist where it is most narrow and make note of the measurement in inches. Use a string if you don't have measuring tape. A string can work in a pinch if you don't have a fabric measuring tape. Simply place the string around your waist and mark where the ends come together. Then you can measure the string against a flat ruler or yardstick. This trick can be used for other measurements as well. Be sure that you are standing with good posture, and relaxing your stomach when measuring. The best measurements should reflect your waist when relaxed. The tape should also be relaxed yet taut. Some corsets require more measurements. You can easily find these by following the same steps around different body parts. There are several other common measurements:  The fullest part of your bust may be needed for overbust styles or bustiers. Measuring the underbust might help create the perfect fit for a custom style. The top of your hip bones could be useful for a mid-length corset. A full hip measurement might be necessary for a longer style. The general rule of thumb when selecting corsets online or in stores is to subtract 4 to 5 inches (10.2 to 12.7 cm) from your relaxed waist measurement. For your bust or hips, you may not need to take in more than an inch or two.  http://www.thelingerieaddict.com/2015/05/how-to-shop-for-a-waist-training-corset.html Most corset sizing comes as even numbered inch measurements. After you subtract from your initial waist measurement, select the size that comes closest. Most real corsets will not come in small, medium, or large. However, some bustiers or ready-to-wear options may use these size options. Follow sizing charts online, or try a few options on in the fitting room if shopping in-store.


Measure your windows to decide how large your want each curtain panel to be. Choose your fabric, then wash, dry, and iron it, if necessary, to get rid of any shrinking and wrinkles. Cut each panel 12  inches (30.48 centimeters) longer and 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) wider than you want them to be. Fold the bottom hem up by ½ inch (1.27) centimeters, and press it flat with an iron. Fold the bottom hem up again, this time by 5 inches (12.7 centimeters). Fold each side hem over twice by ½ inch (1.27 centimeters), and press flat with an iron. Fold the top hem down by ½ inch (1.27 centimeters), and press flat with an iron. Fold the top hem down again, but this time by 6 inches (15.24 centimeters), and press flat with an iron. Flip the curtain so that the right side is facing you, and press the hems flat for 3 to 5 seconds. Leave the top hem alone if you want to slide it onto the curtain rod, or use clip-on curtain rings. Consider attaching some tabs to make a self-pleating curtain. Hang your curtains.

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

The curtains can fall just past the bottom of the window, or they can fall all the way down to the floor. Some fabric types cannot be washed, so read the side of the bolt when buying your fabric; it will tell you how to wash the fabric. You will need this extra fabric for the seam allowances. Make sure that you are folding towards the wrong side of the fabric. For extra support, insert some iron-on hem tape inside the hem before you iron it. Insert a strip of iron-on hem tape before you press the hem down, then follow the instructions on the package when ironing it. Make sure that the top edge of the tape aligns with the folded edge of the hem. Folding the hem twice like this gives you a cleaner finish, and you won't have to worry about any fraying edges showing. You might find it easier to insert and iron 10 inch (25.4 centimeters) long sections of iron-on hem tape at a time. Once again, make sure that you are folding towards the wrong side of the fabric. Insert a piece of iron-on hem tape inside the second set of hems you are folding. For extra support, you can insert some iron-on hem tape inside the first set of hems as well. Once again, make sure that you are folding towards the wrong side of the fabric. For extra support, insert some iron-on hem tape inside the hem before you press it with an iron. Insert a strip of iron-on hem tape before you press the hem down. Make sure that the top edge of the tape aligns with the top, folded edge of the hem. This will help fuse the iron-on hem tape inside the hems further. This is the easiest and simplest way of hanging curtains. Flip the curtain so that the back is facing you. Cut 3½ inch (8.89 centimeters) long strips of 2 inch (5.08 centimeters) wide ribbon. Space the ribbons 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) apart. Glue the top of each ribbon strip to the top of the curtain. Glue the bottom of each ribbon 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) from the top of the curtain, creating a bulge. Slide the panels onto the curtain rod. Choose a ribbon color that matches your curtain...


Measure your wrist circumference just above the bone. Find your height using a tape measure or ruler. Compare your wrist measurement to your height using a body frame size chart.

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

Feel your wrist to locate the knobby bones on either side of your arm and place your string on the side just above it. Wrap the string around your wrist until it’s snug and mark where it overlaps the end. Straighten out the string and hold it against a ruler to find your measurement. Write the measurement down so you don’t forget.  Don’t add any additional length to your measurement. You can also use a flexible tape measure if you have one. Look where the tape overlaps the 0 mark at the end to record your measurement. Stand straight up with your back against a wall and look straight ahead. Keep your feet flat and together so your heels touch the wall as well. Have a helper mark your height against the wall so it lines up with the top of your head. Step away from the wall and use a tape measure from the floor to the mark to find your height. Make sure you’re standing on a hard floor rather than carpet since it could affect your height measurement. Look for a body frame size chart online and find your height within the ranges. Then compare your wrist size to your height to find if you have a small, medium, or large frame.   For example, if you’re a woman between 62–65 inches (160–170 cm) tall, you have a small frame if your wrist is smaller than 6 inches (15 cm), a medium frame if it’s between 6–6 1⁄4 inches (15–16 cm), and a large frame if it’s larger than 6 1⁄4 inches (16 cm). You can find a body frame size chart here: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/imagepages/17182.htm. Talk to your primary care provider about what your frame size means for your ideal weight or body mass index.


Measure yourself. Stand up straight. Note the position of your elbows. Keep a chair nearby.

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

The perfect standing workspace is one that’s specifically suited for you. Before you attempt to construct your own desk or go on the hunt for another option, it will help to estimate a few basic body measurements. Make a note of your overall height, the level of your eyeline and the distance between your hips, elbows and the floor.  These rough measurements will come in handy later while working out the specifications for the standing desk that fits your build. No need to break out the tape measure. Eyeballing it will give you a basic idea of what size and shape your desk should be. You shouldn’t be slouching while you’re working in a standing position, so try not to slouch while you take the necessary measurements. Adopt a natural, comfortable stance that you can maintain for long periods of time. Not only will this allow you to determine the optimal height and orientation of the desk, it’s just better for you all around no matter how you slice it.  If you get tired after long hours of standing, it’s advisable to sit down for a short spell rather than hunching or resting in a posture that could cause strain. Your computer monitor should be even with or just below your eyeline. Ideally, the top of the desk should be at the right height for you to rest your elbows on. This will be especially important for people who use have to use a mouse while working, or who do a lot of writing or drawing. Your materials will be more accessible to you without the need to stoop or lower your center of gravity. A little higher or low is fine, so long as you’re not forced to raise or lower your arms too much to work comfortably. Don’t throw out that old office chair just yet. Rather than standing nonstop throughout the day, studies demonstrate that the healthiest course of action is to find a golden balance between standing and sitting. When you feel the need to take a load off for a while, have a seat. Alternating between up and down provides the greatest number of health benefits.  For most people, this will be a simple...


Meditate Breathe deeply. Treat your bed like a safe space. Use a night light, but keep it low. Let comfort in.

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

or pray. Beside or in your bed, take some time to put your cares in the hands of the universe. If you pray, try talking a little about your fears when you pray. If you meditate, try thinking of nothing at all, or repeat a mantra such as, "I have fears, but they do not hurt me," or "I am safe; I am home." Sit so you are comfortable and take your time. This can help you relax. As you breathe, concentrate on the feeling of the breath coming in and out of you. Feel which parts of your body rise and fall. Pay attention to your breath, and remind yourself to do so when you begin worrying about other things. Instead of getting scared at night and fleeing your bed, try treating your bed like an oasis. Dedicate your bed to relaxing and sleeping only. If you do anything in your bed other than sleep, make sure it is extremely calming. If you watch movies in bed, watch comforting ones. Save dramas and action films for the couch.  When you get in bed to sleep, spend some time paying attention to your bed. Touch all the fabrics. Squeeze your pillows and pet your sheets. Get anchored in the present moment by letting yourself notice all the sensory information you are taking in. Make your bed in the morning. If you are afraid of the dark, you might need to sleep with some sort of light on. Light disturbs your sleep, so pick a night light that turns itself off automatically. If you are afraid of waking up to pitch dark, choose a very dim night light, or try keeping a light on in the hall instead of in your room. Feeling alone at night may be one of your biggest triggers. To remedy that, find ways of opening your room to others. If you live with other people, keep your bedroom door open at night. If you live alone, put up pictures of loved ones, and get in a phone call in the evening. If you have someone you can really rely on, like a parent, sibling, or best friend, ask them to call you at the same time every night.  Sleeping with a pet nearby may help you feel safe. Some dogs and cats like sharing your bed. You may find that...


Meditate Eat slower. Drink water. Keep your diet easy. Feed your mind with thoughts of who you want to become. Be confident. Monitor the mental chatter.

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

. You know all that chaos in your head? The running thoughts, the worries, the pointless mental wanderings? Meditation, even just 10 to 15 minutes a day, can help clear your mind and focus your energy. And it's 15 minutes to relax! Why not give it a shot? There are even guided meditations apps like Timer and Headspace you can use to get you going.  It'll be so much easier to budget your time when your head is clear and you've destressed . A little meditation can get rid of all that noise and pressure that we all have in the day-to-day. Don't knock it till you've tried it -- you could be surprised by just how effective it is for you! Alright, not a meditation fan? Then try yoga. Not only will you burn 5 calories a minute, but you'll get that same zen feel like you would in meditation. That mental sigh of relief or breath of fresh air -- now that's life improvement! Food is meant to be enjoyed, not scarfed down on the way to something else. Taste it. Relish it. Enjoy it. When you eat slower, you get more out of your meal and you actually eat less. Your body has the time to register what you're putting into it and appreciate it. When you practically swallow your food whole, it's gone before you realize it and you're just left wanting more. This is a good mantra for pretty much everything. "Stop and smell the roses" has more truth to it in this day and age than ever before. So when you're sitting with your best friend over coffee, think about how great it is. When you're watching the sunset, think about the beauty in front of you. So many people don't even realize what's in front of them! Yep, drinking water will make your life better. It can help you lose weight, clear up your skin, cleanses your body, helps you poo and makes you feel more energized on the whole. It's the liquid of life. All those empty calories from soda and alcohol just keep you cycling between buzzing and crashing, which is no way to be healthy! Health is such a big part of the game -- but you never think about it when you have it. The second...


Meditate Go for a walk after lunch. Play a quick game. Avoid more eating and caffeine.

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

. Instead of napping, try giving your brain and body a rest without falling asleep. Create a quiet environment, sit on the floor, and center yourself with deep breathing. Instead of trying to sleep, Try to clear your mind. Focus on watching your thoughts drift through, passing into and out of your mind. Set an alarm like you would for a nap, and reenter the work world rejuvenated and awake without actually sleeping. If your energy levels tend to dip after lunch, you're not alone. Instead of trying to sleep, some people find it more effective to get some light exercise to refresh yourself. Instead of napping, pop outside the office for a quick walk around the neighborhood, or even just jog around the building really quickly to get your blood pumping. Getting out in the sun can reawaken you and give you a much needed jolt of energy. Treadmill desks are increasingly common at some workplaces. If you've got a treadmill at home, set yourself up to walk 'n work. The middle of the work day might not be the best time for a whole campaign on Skyrim, but Luminosity offers brain-training exercises that some people find rejuvenating, providing a much-needed break and a good mind-jolt that can help you get through the rest of the day without sleeping. Likewise, crossword puzzles and Sudoku are time-tested brain teasers that some people need to shake up the routine monotony and wake back up. See if someone else in your workplace likes the same game you do, like chess. Keep a board somewhere and have a game going regularly. Take quick 10 or 15 minute breaks to play a short while and pick the game back up later. It'll break up your routine and get your thinking. Trying to combat tiredness with empty calories and more coffee in the late afternoon can have the opposite effect, slowing you down and making you groggier. Despite the claims of energy drink companies as being the cure for your post-lunch dip, taking a quick nap is more effective than filling your body with empty calories. Try to avoid eating more if you're not...


Meditate Keep a journal. Be self-reliant. Find a hobby. Spend more time alone. Spend time with more introverted friends. Consider seeing a therapist. Stay true to you. Take a "vow of silence" for a short period of time

to help quiet your mind for at least a few minutes every day. Not only will meditation get you a clearer, more thoughtful, tuned-in mind, but it can help lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, too. Just 10-15 minutes each day can leave you feeling zoned and zenned for the next 24 hours.  If you're not the meditating type, other activities can substitute for this feeling. Take a walk in your favorite local park, or just sit on a bench and read. Grab a journal and spend some time writing down your thoughts. Anything that's a bit of "me-time" will do the trick. Do people playfully tease you and tell you to take a hike? Perhaps you should tease them back and actually do it.  Live in the moment by practicing such techniques as mindfulness and Zen driving. Contemplating the mysteries of science (the universe, quantum theory) can also be an intensely introspective experience. One way to shift focus (and be more observant, as mentioned above) is by keeping a journal. Commit to a daily writing practice and ask yourself questions like:   What did I feel? Why? What did I learn today? Who did I learn from? What ideas arrived? Who or what did I think about today? How was today different than yesterday? Than last week? Than last year?  What can I be grateful for? Who in our world seems lonely? Why? While there's no shame in asking for help, your quiet confidence will give you the strength to do it yourself, which in turn will make you more valuable to others. And when you do need to ask for help, your introspective nature will enable you to focus and to ask the right questions. When you can spend time alone with yourself doing quiet, thoughtful things, it’ll be easier to do the same in larger groups. And you’ll probably be surprised how much you enjoy it as well. You'll cultivate patience and nurture your inner world, as well as provide yourself with more conversation material when it's time to socialize. Try knitting, zen gardening or some other activity that doesn't require extraneous talking. Even just picking up a...


Meditate Try mindfulness techniques. Empower yourself by reviewing your accomplishments. Make a poster about your inner strength. Reframe negative thoughts as positive statements. Keep a gratitude journal. Find meaning in your current struggle.

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

. Meditation encourages you to embrace being in the present moment, accepting it without judgment. It can help you realize how strong you really are. Many research studies have shown that practicing meditation has a variety of physical and mental health benefits, from lowering your heart rate and boosting your immune system to promoting feelings of calm and well-being. Meditation can even help rewire how your brain responds to stress. Many types of meditation exist, although one that has received a lot of scientific study is "mindfulness" meditation.  If you can't find a meditation class near you, you can find many online. The UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center has several downloadable MP3 meditation guides.  There are also several mobile apps that offer guided meditations and mini-meditations. And of course, wikiHow has many articles to help you learn to meditate. Mindfulness has significant scientific support. Studies have shown that using mindfulness techniques can help you feel calmer and more relaxed, improve your relationships, increase your empathy, and even lower your blood pressure.  The University of California, Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center has a website with many mindfulness techniques that you can try in your everyday life. Many mindfulness exercises can be done in just a few minutes a day. For example, the next time you have a snack, slow it way down. Try to focus on all aspects of the experience, using all of your senses. What do you smell, see, hear, taste, and touch? What does it feel like to eat this food? Can you sense the food going down your throat into your stomach? Paying attention to the little things will help you practice mindfulness in your daily life. In your life, you have come up against many challenges, big and small.  In your emotions journal, write down your emotions – sad, angry, scared, ashamed – and how you dealt with those emotions. Write down how you responded, what you did, how you handled that situation. Write down your accomplishments that you’re proud of....


Meditate and explore your inner self. Practice cold readings. Notate your lines. Use what you’ve learned in your work.

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

Meditating for a few minutes and allowing yourself to discover what makes you tick will help you connect to the characters you play.  Meditating can also be a daily ritual that doesn’t have to be done on the floor. It can be done through activities that fuel you and your artistic talents. Chances are, you’re an artist because you felt a calling to it. Acting is a tough business that often has you running around trying to balance jobs that pay the bills with your art. Try taking some time every day to perform your monologue. Read a play or book. Or even watch your favorite movie. These can all be forms of self-discovery and exploration. Find what helps you stay connected to your creative process and not loose sight of your goals and love for the art. Grab another actor friend or anyone who will read with you and practice your cold readings.  Cold readings are a big part of auditioning, as well as helping you to better your skill. When you practice cold reads, or perform one in an audition, there are a few things you should make strong decisions on:  Relationship. Who is your scene partner to you (in the scene)? What do you need from this person? Always pick positives. Even if you hate this character, you love this character. Hate gives you nowhere to go. Love allows you to explore options. Conflict. Find the conflict in the scene. What is it that you and your partner are both fighting for? Only one of you can win. Practicing these cold reads will help you understand how to win using only what’s on the page and within you. Place. Know where you are. Learn to visualize this place. Pick places that are real and that are familiar to you. It doesn’t matter if your partner has a different place in mind. Having intimate knowledge and details in your mind of where you are will change how you behave in the space. Moment before. Every scene has a beginning. But something always happens off stage before this moment. Learn to decide with confidence what your character was doing before the moment on the page. Having a...

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

Meditation is a fantastic way to clear your mind and escape reality; it is traditionally used to make the mind calm and peaceful. Proper meditation enables you to take your mind into a calm space and put reality on hold.. The best part is that meditation can be done in the comfort of your own home (or even bed) and requires no prior training or monthly membership.  Choose a peaceful environment, preferably one without distractions. The temperature should be comfortable, it should be as quiet as possible, and you should be able to be alone for 30 minutes. Find a comfortable position. Many people like to lay on the floor with their bodies relaxed, their feet pointed outwards, and their palms facing upwards. There is no “right” position in which to meditate, so find a position in which it is comfortable for you to lie still. You can also try the lotus position. Close your eyes. This allows you to tune out anything that is going on around you. If necessary cover your eyes with a mask or a towel. If you are in a noisy place, it may help to wear earplugs. Think of nothing. Relax completely, let your mind go free. Be aware of your breathing. Don’t necessarily try to control your breath, but simply breathe and be aware of it.  Expect good meditation to take practice. At first, it is almost inevitable that your mind will wander. However, with practice, you will be able to completely clear your mind during your period of meditation. When your mind does wander, bring your focus back to your breath.  Consider using downloadable meditation programs. Simply go to Google or YouTube and search for “meditation.” Listening to music is a fantastic way to clear your mind and make a mental escape from reality. Music has been scientifically shown to affect many different areas of the brain, and it can actually help you achieve self-awareness and regulate your mood. It is also a commonly used tool to engage in escapism.  If you are unsure of what type or genre of music to listen to, you can try to listen to ambient music or...


Meditate. Stay rooted in being Give.

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

On a deeper level, meditation is about being present. As when you are present, you are aligned with One life underneath all forms. Since time is always Now, so one can be present without having to dedicate time to meditate, so dedicated meditation is not always necessary or else it may become a crutch. Here are a few 'structure-less' meditation practices that don't require you to dedicate time:   Feel your body from within. Can you feel the inner energy field of your body? Your arms, shoulders, face, neck, belly, heart, head, feet, legs and so on? This is your ever present being or life energy that animates your body. Never lose touch with it. Its the stream to your true home. Focusing your awareness on the inner energy field or space not only anchors you to the Now, but rapidly deepen and transform your life. It also strengthens your immune system and slows down the ageing process.    Watch or allow or accept the thoughts, reactions (verbal or non-verbal) and emotions to come and go. We have talked about this already. Become aware of sense perceptions and breathing. Give complete attention to anything you are doing. Read Stay Rooted in Being for more insight on these meditation practices. . It is very possible to be in the now or 'being' throughout your life. Whatever you are doing, keep a fraction of your attention within your body and/or breath and/or sense perception and/or awareness itself and/or give complete attention to anything you are doing and/or watch the mind and/or accept what is. Whichever practice or combination feels more natural and easier in the Now. Keeping some attention on one of these anchors while doing anything not only get you in touch with radiant and simple joy of being (universal consciousness) within but also increases the quality and creativity of your actions and words.  This also helps you to be more non-reactive because when you inhabit your inner space, attention is withdrawn from mind to inner space. Which means more wisdom and intelligence during challenging situations. As...

Meet the basic requirements for the job. Get in touch with industry contacts. Search online job boards. Follow up on job leads in person. Practice your interviewing skills.

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

As with most careers, there are certain qualifications you must meet in order to be a wine sales rep. Many of these are not so much prerequisites for being hired, but qualities or traits you should possess in order to succeed. Examples include:  Possession of a valid driver's license and clean driving record. This is often required because wine sales reps must travel frequently (to and from restaurants and wineries, for example) in the course of their normal work. Ideally, you should be able to lift about 50 pounds (or about 23 kg) so you can easily tote around boxes and crates of wine when necessary. Alternatively, you should have some other means of doing this. A wine sales rep should be self-motivated, enthusiastic, and outgoing.  If you do not enjoy schmoozing and working with people, you probably will not enjoy a career as a wine sales rep. You will need to build relationships in order to make sales and earn commission. If you have been working in the wine industry already (at a winery, bar, restaurant, or wine shop), you should have a few contacts that can put you in touch with people looking to hire wine reps. Reach out to your contacts to ask about job opportunities instead of waiting to hear of something. For example:  Speak to a current wine rep who serves the restaurant, bar, or shop where you work. Ask the manager of the winery where you work if he can set you up with an interview as soon as a wine rep position comes available. Contact the wine distributor who sells your winery's product to restaurants and stores. Many wine distributors and producers advertise job openings on mainstream job search engines such as Indeed, Monster, Glassdoor, etc. Create a profile on one or more of these sites and use keyword searches and location filters to see if there are any wine sales rep openings in your area.  Use fairly broad search terms so you are sure to see all relevant positions. For example, instead of searching for "wine sales rep," try just searching "wine." Upload a resume to your profile and make...

Meet the basic requirements. Get involved at your parish. Assess your beliefs. Attend college (recommended). Enter a seminary. Excel in seminary school. Become ordained as deacon. Enter the priesthood.

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

In the Roman Catholic Church, a priest must be male and unmarried. Many Eastern Catholic Churches will ordain married men. You must be at least 25 years old to become a priest, but this is rarely an issue unless you complete your studies unusually early. Before you even think about going to college or to the seminary, it's a good idea to get started helping out at your parish. The longer your history as a practicing Catholic in good standing, the easier it will be to enter the priesthood.  Get to know your favorite priest. Tell him your interests in joining the seminary and see if you can assist him during services or when he goes to visit sick members of the church or participates in area activities. In addition to altar services, help out with singing and reading. Getting thorough knowledge of the books and hymnal will make everything much easier down the road. Becoming a priest is not a decision to take lightly -- it is a path that takes years to complete and is not for the faint of heart or belief. If you at all see yourself doing anything else, priesthood may not be for you. These sources of insight may help you make your decision:   Pray for God's assistance in discerning your situation. Participate in mass regularly, developing a relationship with your parish's clergy. Ask for advice from a vocational director or any trusted mentor within the church. A bachelor degree typically makes it easier to enter seminary, and reduces the length of seminary studies by a couple years. A degree in philosophy or theology prepares you best, but a degree in any subject can demonstrate your dedication and ability. While in college, get involved in your campus' ministry. Use this time to attend retreats, help other students, and connect with your new parish or diocese. Apply to seminaries through your diocese or through the religious order. If at all possible, enter a seminary that awards a Master of Divinity, and is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools (if you are in the US or Canada). Ask your parish...


Meet the fitness qualifications. Train for the WCT. Visit your doctor.

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

Every certified wildland firefighter is required to meet certain physical standards when starting the job. Your physical aptitude for wildland firefighting will be tested through the work capacity test (WCT). Every U.S. agency or bureau requires you to complete this test before becoming a wildland firefighter. Even if your local department doesn't require it, you might not be selected for out-of-state service unless you have qualified.  The WCT is administered as part of the application process for many agencies. If you don't meet the requirements for the test initially, you have two weeks in which to take it again. If unsuccessful the second time, you will likely not be accepted for the position. The WCT is often referred to as the pack test because it requires applicants to hike several miles with a 45-pound pack. The WCT is administered when you return to duty each season to ensure you’ve maintained physical aptitude. If you're not in shape already, start your training as soon as possible. Running and hiking holding heavy weights while going up and downhill are excellent forms of exercise to prepare for the WCT. For most agencies with temporary assignments, the fire season starts in May, so you will want to give yourself a few months of proper training before this; beginning in February at the latest. If the WCT is part of the application process, you’ll need to begin your training program earlier in the year.  Contact the agencies you’re applying with and local fire science programs to find out if there are group training programs for the WCT in your area. Get a personal trainer through a local gym. They are great resources to help you safely and successfully reach your training goals, especially if they are familiar with training firefighters. Give yourself rest time throughout training. Do not run or hike every day. Instead, start with two or three days of activity each week, and gradually increase to five. Set yourself apart from other applicants by completing practice WCTs before applying. Many...
