Avoid checking your emails at random. Silence your phone and turn off the Internet. Let others around you know you should not be interrupted. Try not to deviate from your routine.

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

Random email checks can create a “start-stop-start” pattern to your work day, and lead to wasted time. Avoid opening your email constantly throughout the day, especially if you are supposed to be focusing on a different task. Schedule in three time slots in your schedule for checking email: early morning, after lunch, and mid-afternoon. This will ensure you are not distracted by a continuous stream of emails throughout the day and that you have time set aside to address your emails. This same principle can be applied to other means of communication, like your voicemail, your text messages, or phone calls. Try not to be available all the time, unless you are expecting an important text message or phone call. This will limit any interruptions to your workflow and help you stick to your schedule. If possible, choose at least one hour of your workday where you silence your phone and turn off your internet connection. This can then allow you to focus on work that needs to be done with complete concentration and without any distractions from your phone or from the internet. Removing yourself from these easy distractions can also be helpful when you are writing a paper for school or a long report. Keeping your phone on silent will ensure you do not have an excuse to check your phone every five minutes or get sucked into scrolling through social media. Try not to encourage others to distract you or be a distraction to others, by letting everyone around you know that you are working. This may be by closing your door or putting up a busy sign. You can also send out an email in the office to remind everyone that a certain time period is a silent work time in the office. Once you have established a work list or a work schedule and have put safe guards in place to eliminate distractions, draw on willpower and focus to stick to your routine. Most people can recognize the difference between well used time and wasted time, so try to avoid falling into a time wasting trap. Lean on your schedule and at the end of the day you...


Avoid chemical based shampoo, conditioner and styling products. Don't wash your hair every day. Use essential oils to thicken your hair. Treat your hair gently to decrease hair loss. Avoid heat styling tools. Allow your hair to grow in its natural texture and color. Get your hair cut.

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

Most hair products contain chemicals that are effective at cleaning your hair but may cause much damage. Some people aren't affected by these chemicals, but if you're worried about thinning hair, it's best to avoid them.  Sodium laurel and laureth sulfates are cleaning agents found in most shampoos. They strip the hair of natural oils, which can cause further damage to hair that has already been dyed or chemically treated. That said, there's not enough research to prove that sulfate-free shampoos are gentler or safer.  While results may vary by hair type and quality, as a general rule, choose organic products or products made with natural oils and soap agents for the lowest risk to your hair. Our scalps produce natural oils that coat the hair and protect it from outside damage. When these oils are washed away every day, the hair becomes weaker over time.   Everyone's body is different, but most people should be able to comfortably wash their hair two to three times a week without it getting too oily. If your hair is naturally quite oily, you might want to wash it three to four times a week instead.  Washing too infrequently can also be harmful. People with thinning hair often find themselves more susceptible to dandruff and scalp conditions which can be avoided by regular (though not daily) washing. Use a "dry shampoo" to treat your hair in between washes. It keeps it looking fresh and has the added benefit of making hair look thicker. Dry shampoo is a powder you can comb through your hair, especially around the roots, between washings. Chamomile, lavender, rosemary, thyme, geranium, cedarwood, almond oil, coconut oil, Indian gooseberry oil and many more, help thicken hair follicles.  Apply 10 to 20 drops of your chosen oil to your scalp, and massage the oil in with your fingers. Use you fingers to rub the oil down to the tips of your hair. You could also mix 3 to 5 drops of essential oil into your shampoo or conditioner when washing your hair. Deep condition your hair by adding five to 10 drops of essential...


Avoid chewing on hard objects. Avoid grinding your teeth. Wear a mouthguard when playing sports. Take care of your teeth.

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

Many people have a habit of chewing on hard objects like ice and pens. While teeth are very strong, this activity gradually grinds down the teeth. Sustained chewing of hard objects can weaken your teeth to the point that they crack. Avoid this problem by breaking your habit of chewing hard objects. Grinding is when you continuously press your teeth together, usually when sleeping. Over time, this will weaken your enamel and make your teeth susceptible to cracking. Since grinding often occurs when we sleep, it's not an easy habit to break. There are specially designed mouth guards you can wear that will protect your teeth while you sleep and prevent grinding. Talk to your dentist about one of these devices if grinding is a problem for you. Teeth are very often broken and knocked out while playing sports. If you play a contact sport, like football, or a sport where a hard object could hit you in the face, like baseball, you should wear a mouthguard to avoid any damage to your teeth.  See this guide from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry for a breakdown of different kinds of mouth guards. If you have trouble finding the right mouthguard for you, ask your dentist for a recommendation. Poor oral hygiene will weaken teeth and make them more susceptible to damage. Luckily, you have control over your own oral health. You can protect yourself from tooth decay and broken teeth by keeping your mouth clean and sticking to regular appointments with your dentist.  Read Brush Your Teeth for a full breakdown of proper brushing technique. Remember to Floss after brushing to rid your teeth of any trapped plaque and food particles. Visit your dentist regularly, usually every 6 months, for a thorough cleaning and inspection.


Avoid chlorinated water. Avoid salt water. Remove contact lenses before swimming. Have a soothing saline solution handy. Squint, rather than opening your eyes completely.

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

While you may not always be able to choose where you're going to swim, it is helpful to know which kinds of water cause the most eye pain. For example, chlorinated water (like you will usually find in pools, hot tubs, and so on) tends to hurt more than ordinary water when it gets in your eyes. While it's great for killing waterborne germs, the redness and stinging you can get after a dip in the pool can be seriously annoying. Chlorine hurts more because it disrupts the eye's natural tear membrane. In some cases, chlorine can also dehydrate the cornea, leading to cloudy, distorted vision for a short time. Another common source of eye irritation while swimming is salt water. Salt naturally draws moisture out of the eyes, dehydrating them and causing a stinging sensation. In addition, the sorts of places where you're likely to swim in salt water (like beaches) can have additional contaminants in the water like biological matter, silt, and pollution. The eyes are naturally covered with a salty fluid (you are probably aware of this if you've ever tasted your own tears). However, the average salt content of the ocean is usually about three to four times more salty, leading to the imbalance that dehydrates your eyes. Most optometrists (eye doctors) recommend against swimming with your contacts in. Depending on which type of contacts you are wearing, the water can cause the contact to deform and press against the eye, causing pain. Contacts can also trap bacteria and microorganisms from the water against the eye, which (in rare cases) can lead to infections that cause serious vision problems. If you must wear contacts underwater, use single-use disposable contacts and discard them after you swim. This way, you won't need to carefully disinfect them. Saline solutions contain a mix of salt and water that is specially formulated to match your eyes' natural salt levels. Applying a few drops after swimming without goggles is a great way to flush contaminants out of your eyes, soothe stinging, and reduce the risk of...


Avoid close-ended questions. Query about the person’s passions or dreams. Figure out what makes that person feel fulfilled. Show interest in the person’s quirks. Ask “why” to get more information.

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

When you’re trying to get someone to open up and go deeper in conversation with you, you want to avoid questions that close off the discussion. For instance, you might immediately start trying to learn the person’s likes and dislikes by asking “What’s your favorite color? Food? Season?” The problem with such a question is it doesn’t promote a detail-oriented answer because it can be answered with only one word (e.g. “Purple. Pizza. Summer.”). Aim for open-ended questions which allow for broad answers along a range of topics. These sorts of questions can lead anywhere. Ask open-ended questions as follow-up to close-ended questions like “What’s your favorite color/food/season? Why?” Or, you can ask such a question to learn more about another person, such as “What are doing over summer break?” People are happy to talk when the conversation is circulating around their interests. To get another person talking in a deeper direction, try to learn about what drives the person each day. You can ask a questions as simple as “What are you most passionate about?” When the person responds, be sure that you demonstrate excitement and interest in the subject to keep him or her talking. Asking your conversation partner what makes him or her feel fulfilled is a way to uncover what makes the person happy. When you find out what makes him or her happy, you can modify your line of questioning to deeper, more emotional topics.  For example, you might say “What makes you most fulfilled?” and the person responds “My family.” You can then follow-up and say “Tell me about them”. This can lead to an in-depth and rewarding discussion. Although people like to find commonalities between themselves and others, they also like to stand out. Question your conversation partner about what makes him or her different or unique to trigger a deeper discussion. You might ask “What do you think makes you special?” or “What’s something about you that people don’t often know?” As a rule-of-thumb, you can ask your conversation partner “Why?” after...


Avoid cold showers. Limit your coffee intake. Refrain from forcing yourself to vomit.

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

A cold shower will make you feel more alert, but it will not minimize the effects of alcohol. On the contrary, a cold shower may send your body into shock if you are severely intoxicated or have alcohol poisoning. A cup of coffee may make you feel more awake and alert, so it may be beneficial to drink one cup. However, avoid having a lot of coffee, as this may dehydrate you. Contrary to popular belief, coffee does not sober you up or reduce the level of alcohol in your blood. This tactic will not work very well unless you do it immediately after taking a shot. Once the alcohol is absorbed into your system, i.e., when you feel buzzed, it is too late. At this point you are only doing your body a disservice since vomiting depletes your body and adds to dehydration.  If you really need to, don’t resist the urge to vomit. This is your body’s way of trying to get rid of the alcohol. As a safety precaution, ask a friend to stay with you if you vomit so that they can make sure you don’t fall and hurt yourself as a result of dizziness.


Avoid cold sore triggers. Identify cold sores before they surface. Stop the cold sore in its tracks. Keep your lips protected from the sun at all times. Stay healthy!

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

There are a variety of things that can cause cold sores and it's a good idea to be extra vigilant if you are susceptible to them. Even stress and lack of sleep can cause cold sores, so try to get a good night's sleep.  If you come down with a cold, fever or flu, your risk of an outbreak may increase because your immune system is compromised. Make sure you're getting all your necessary vitamins and eating healthfully. Menses, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and even sunlight can cause a cold sore to act up. Stress may trigger cold sore outbreaks, so do everything you can to relax. Set some time aside each day to meditate, take deep breaths or simply have a cup of tea, whatever works for you. Fatigue triggers outbreaks, so make sure you get plenty of sleep. Take naps if you need to Too much exposure to the sun can aggravate the area and cause cold sores to emerge. If you do overexpose your lips to the sun, try to ice them as soon as possible, for several minutes. Also, look for a lipstick or lip balm with sun protection of SPF 15 or higher and apply it frequently throughout the day. Know the signs so you can act before your cold sore has a chance to form.   Tenderness, tingling, burning, itching, numbness and pain around your lips may mean a cold sore is forming.  Fevers and other cold and flu symptoms often accompany cold sores, hence the nickname “fever blisters.” Cold sores usually arrive with a warning period of red, irritated skin. Blisters form, burst, and then crust over before they heal. It is in its prodromal stage for 6 to 48 hours before it becomes visible. During this time, you may use the following methods to prevent the sore from surfacing. This is the best time to stop it, rather than having to wait once it gets big and nasty!  Ice it or apply a cold compress. Do this hourly, or as frequently as possible. Steep a teabag in hot water, let it cool and then hold it against the afflicted area. Cold sores thrive in heat, so be sure to let the tea bag cool beforehand. Apply lip balm with sun protection of...


Avoid cold weather conditions. Don't swim in cold water. Be cautious with cold drinks and foods. Take over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamines.

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

If you've noticed that your skin develops an itchy rash when it's chilly, then the best precaution is to not expose yourself to cold weather conditions. This can be a challenge in northern climates, but making sure you're always dressed warmly during winter months can help a great deal. Layer your clothes and try to wear natural breathable fibers, such as cotton and wool. Always wear gloves and don't forget to cover your neck and face with a scarf.  Cold urticaria symptoms typically begin soon after skin is exposed to a sudden drop in air temperature — the majority of reactions are triggered by temperatures lower than 39°F.  Damp (humid) and windy conditions seem to increase the risk and severity of cold urticaria. Everybody with cold urticaria has different temperature thresholds, so some can get triggered by temperatures warmer than 39°F. Swimming in cold water is the most common cause or trigger of cold urticaria, particularly during windy conditions. Typically the worst urticaria reactions occur with swimming in cold water because so much skin is exposed to the cold. Such a full-body reaction can lead to a massive release of histamine from skin cells, which leads to sudden hypotension (low blood pressure), dizziness, loss of consciousness and even drowning while in the water. If you have this condition, avoid swimming in natural bodies of water or unheated swimming pools.  As a general guideline, if water gives you goose bumps or causes you to shiver, then do not submerge yourself in it if you have (or think your have) cold urticaria. The same information holds true for bathing at home. Avoid cold or even lukewarm showers and baths. Let the shower runs for a few minutes and make sure it's warm enough before jumping in. Symptoms of cold urticaria usually appear between 5-30 minutes after cold exposure and they can last for up to 48 hours. Another activity that can trigger cold urticaria is holding and/or drinking cold beverages. Holding a cold drink (particularly one that contains ice) can trigger a very...


Avoid comparing yourself to others, especially media portrayals of beauty. Challenge negative thoughts and replace them with constructive ones. Be kind to the people you meet. Smile when you’re around others. Prioritize relationships with people who make you feel good about yourself.

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

It can be really hard, but don’t allow yourself to fall into the trap of believing you need to look like a TV star or model in order to be pretty. Instead, appreciate the natural beauty you can see in yourself and others. By paying attention to the things you find attractive about others, it may be easier for you to find things you like about yourself, as well. If your opinion about how you look is affecting your self-esteem, you might struggle with negative thinking. It can be really hard, but when you're thinking bad things about yourself, try to switch to a positive, factual thought instead. For instance, you might focus on a few of your best qualities, or you could look for a solution if you're concerned about a problem that you can change.  For instance, instead of thinking, "I don't look like a model, so no one will ever love me," you might tell yourself, "I'm really funny and I'm a great friend, and people really like being around me." If you find yourself thinking something like, "I hate my hair," try to think of something constructive, like, "I need to figure out the haircut that will work best for my hair's texture. Maybe I can try growing it out for a while, and in the meantime, I'll save up for a trip to a nice salon." In order to let your inner beauty to shine through, treat others with compassion and love. Look for the good in them, and celebrate it. Give genuine compliments to your family and friends, and be a supportive listener when someone is going through a hard time. If you’re beautiful on the inside, you’re going to seem more attractive on the outside. Not only will smiling make you seem more attractive, but it might even make you feel happier. People almost always look prettier when they’re happy, so this is an easy way to brighten up your look any time. If you don’t feel like smiling, at least try to keep a pleasant expression on your face whenever you want to look pretty. Don’t waste your time around people who put you down or say negative things about your appearance. Instead, make an...


Avoid confrontational behavior. Play hard to get. Leave treats on the ground. Entice the cat to eat from your hand. Try to pet the cat. Offer the cat toys if it will not let you touch it. Don’t touch an animal that seems fearful or upset.

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

Avoid staring the cat in the eye or trying to reach for it when you first see it. These gestures can be perceived as threatening, especially for cats that are not used to being around people. Act calmly and quietly, and focus on getting the cat to trust you. If your stray cat is comfortable enough to let you be near it, pretend like you are ignoring it. Let it see you engaged in a non-threatening activity, such as reading or gardening. If you are lucky, the stray cat will observe you and learn that you are also not threatening. Once the stray cat is used to you leaving food for it to eat, you can also try scattering treats (such as tuna flakes or cubes of chicken) on the ground between you and the cat. If the cat comes near you, try holding a treat in your hand. The stray may feel comfortable to eat out of your hand, or it may not. In either case, do not attempt to pet or pick up the cat at first. Be patient; it takes time, sometimes weeks or more, for a stray or feral cat to begin to trust you. You can also try letting the cat lick a small amount of soft or wet food from your finger. Once the stray cat becomes  used to eating out of your hand, you can begin to try touching it. While feeding it a treat with one hand, calmly try to gently touch the cat with your other hand. If the cat acts startled and moves away, do not try to grab it. Wait a little while and try and try again. If the cat will not let you touch it at first, just try to bring your hand close to it. Repeat this technique over and over again, bringing your hand a little closer to the cat each time, until it lets you touch it. Some stray cats will respond more quickly to play that to being touched or held. If your stray cat does not seem to want to be touched, try playing with it using toy such as a laser pointer, wind-up mouse, or wand toy with feathers, ribbons, or other objects attached to it. If your cat plays with the toy, even if it won’t let you touch it or pick it up, it is a sign that it is growing accustomed to you. Stray and feral cats...


Avoid confronting trespassers on your own. Write down everything you know about the trespassers. Report the trespassers to your local law enforcement as soon as possible.

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

You may feel the urge to confront trespassers on your property or even try to make a citizen's arrest, but this is very dangerous and can escalate in unexpected ways. Instead, call the police and let trained professionals handle the situation for you. It's always best to report trespassers to the police before taking action yourself. If you witnessed someone trespassing on your property but they've already left the premises, you may still want to report them to the police so they can be arrested. Jot down everything you remember about them -- gender, height, weight, hair color, and any other significant details. This will help the police locate the right person or persons. Give the police your descriptions and let them know the date and time the trespass occurred. If the trespassers are still on your property when you make the call, let the police know that so they can show up to the scene. Depending on what they were doing, you may want the police to simply kick them off your property or  make an arrest. Be sure to report any damage or stolen property immediately. This is especially important if you plan to prosecute the trespassers.


Avoid confusing gerunds with present participles. Negate gerunds by adding “not. Determine when to use gerunds and when to use infinitives.

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

Gerunds are a specialized kind of noun ending in –ing, while present participles are verbs that indicate continuous tenses, also ending in –ing.  Present participle: I’m thinking about going to bed early tonight. Gerund: Going to bed early is good for you. ” If you want to make a gerund illustrate a negative action, or the absence of an action, simply add “not” before the gerund. For example:   Not smoking is good for your health. He loves not working while on vacation. I made my mom happy by not attending the party. Many people confuse the usage of gerunds and infinitives. Both can be used as subjects or complements of a sentence; however, gerunds often sound more natural, while infinitives sound more academic or philosophical.  Gerund: Learning is important. (sounds more natural) Infinitive: To learn is important. (sounds more abstract)


Avoid confusing mass and weight. Use scientific units. Expand newtons to check your units.

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

The number one mistake people make on these problems is confusing mass and weight. Remember that mass is the amount of "stuff" in an object, which stays the same no matter where you move it. Weight measures the force of gravity on that "stuff," which changes if you move through space. Here's are a couple mnemonic to keep your units distinct:  Mass is in units of grams or kilograms. Both mass and gram contain an m. Weight is in units of newtons. Both weight and newton contain a w. You only have weight while you're "wait"ing on Earth, but even "mass"tronauts have mass. Most physics problems use newtons (N) for weight, meters per second squared (m/s2) for gravitational force, and kilograms (kg) for mass. If you use a different unit for one of these values, you cannot use the same formula. Convert to scientific units before plugging them into the standard equation. These conversions may help you out if you're used to the imperial / U.S. system:  1 pound-force = ~4.448 newtons 1 foot = ~0.3048 meters If you're working on a complex problem, keep track of the units as you work through your solution. Remember that 1 newton is equivalent to 1 (kg*m)/s2. If necessary, make that substitution to help you cancel out units.  Example problem: Jeffrey weighs 880 newtons on Earth. What is his mass? mass = (880 newtons)/(9.8 m/s2) mass = 90 newtons/(m/s2) mass = (90 kg*m/s2)/(m/s2) Cancel units: mass = 90 kg Kg is the expected unit for mass, so you arranged the problem correctly.


Avoid contact for the first month after the break-up. Focus on yourself. Do not pursue your ex during this time. Find out if they are still interested.

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

They will call you if they want to talk. If they don't, nothing you say or wear will change that. Sometimes, ignoring your ex makes them feel like you are perfectly fine without them and are moving on, which is the exact opposite of what they want.  Avoiding contact is not just a passive-aggressive way to make your ex miss you. It gives you time to do the things you need to do to prepare yourself for a new relationship (whether it's with your ex or someone new!). Take time during this month to get to know yourself as an individual and to work on areas that you may have let slip during your relationship with your ex. If you contributed to the breakup, this is the time to pinpoint your relationship weaknesses and do the hard work to improve as a human being. This time off will also help you to distinguish between normal grief after a breakup and a real desire to be with your ex again. Nearly everyone feels sad after a breakup, even if their ex was a jerk and they were truly incompatible. Time alone will help you sort out these feelings. Hang out with your friends. Throw yourself into work and other extracurricular activities. You don't want to seem needy or like you are waiting for your ex to contact you again. Researchers have found that people who regain a healthy sense of self post-breakup recover more quickly from relationship-related grief. That means no calling, texting, or asking around about how he or she is doing. Most importantly, do not ask your ex questions about why the breakup happened or about whether he or she is seeing anyone. This comes across as desperate..  While it is important to not pursue your ex for a month or so, it's okay to be responsive if he or she pursues you. In other words, if you get a call, don't hang up on your ex or refuse to talk. It is not necessary to try to play mind games or play hard to get, and doing so would have the potential to push him or her further away, which is the opposite of your goal at this point.  If you do happen to hear through the grapevine that your...


Avoid contact sports for two weeks. Wear loose shirts. Try to sleep on your back. Don't fiddle with your piercing.

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

Your belly button piercing will be especially susceptible to irritation for the first few weeks you have it. During this critical healing period, avoid any activities that involve physical contact. More to the point, avoid any strenuous exercise that may disrupt the healing process.  Do not play team sports, such as soccer or basketball, until your piercing is fully healed. Avoid activities that involve extensive stretching for two weeks as well, such as climbing and yoga. Very small amounts of chafing or abrasion can irritate your belly button. Especially during healing periods after a new piercing or following an infection, wear loose-fitting clothing that will not constantly rub or apply pressure to your piercing. It’s important to prevent irritating your belly button while you sleep. While sleeping on your side is fine, sleeping on your back is best. Most importantly, avoid sleeping on your stomach. Fiddling with your belly button can cause it to become irritated, and may even contribute to an infection.  In particular, avoid absent-minded touching or tugging on your belly button piercing. When you want to adjust your jewelry or touch the area for another reason, be sure to wash your hands before doing so.


Avoid contact with contaminated soil. Practice good hygiene. Avoid traveling to developing countries.

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

Ascaris worms thrive in soil that has human and animal feces (poop) in it. In many places in the world, fecal matter is intentionally used to fertilize crops, so be cautious when traveling in undeveloped countries, particularly rural farming areas. Children who live in these areas often become infected after putting their hands into their mouths after playing or working in contaminated soil.  Eating uncooked food (fruits and veggies) grown in contaminated soil or irrigated with wastewater is another frequent cause of infection. Always thoroughly wash produce at home before you eat, regardless of where you bought it from. Consider cooking all raw veggies before you eat them. Soaking fresh produce in water with some iodine, hydrogen peroxide and/or white vinegar might help kill parasites, as well as some viruses and bacteria. In addition to washing your produce, washing yourself and practicing good hygiene is another method to help prevent Ascaris worm infection. Always wash your hands after going to the bathroom and before and after handling food. Ascaris worm larvae and eggs are spread in feces, either in soil, in water or from unwashed hands.  Wash your hands frequently with warm water and soap, especially if you're traveling and buying food in undeveloped countries in Asia and Africa. When traveling, carry a small bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you and use it often to clean your hands. If you're without soap and sanitizer, try using fresh citrus juice (from lemons, limes or grapefruits) on your hands to clean them. If you really want to reduce your risk of Ascariasis then the best advice is to avoid under-developed countries where the infection is most common, such as rural China, Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, India, Latin America, the Caribbean and parts of the Middle East.  If you do need to travel to these areas for work or family reasons, take the sanitary precautions mentioned above. Wash your hands frequently, keep your hands away from your mouth, use only bottled water and avoid...


Avoid contact. Wash infected objects. Avoid sharing. Wash your hands. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough.

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

The main way to prevent strep throat is to avoid contact with someone you know is infected with strep throat. You should avoid any contact with that person, which means you should not touch them at all or share a close environment with them. You should also avoid touching anything that an infected person may have come into contact with. The objects could have the bacteria living on them and you might transmit it to yourself.  You should keep your distance while the infected individual completes the first 48 hours of antibiotics. After 48 hours of proper antibacterial treatment, you may resume casual contact because she is no longer contagious. The American Academy of Family Practice has done research that state that in homes with one confirmed case, there is a 43% chance of a second family or household contact contracting the bacterial infection. Be extra careful if someone in your family had strep throat and avoid contact as much as possible.  If you know someone sick with strep throat, encourage them to stay home, especially in the first few days when they are still contagious. If your kids or members of your family have it, you should keep them at home until you know they cannot infect anyone else (their fever has gone and they have been on antibiotics for at least 24 hours). You should avoid going out if you have strep throat as well. You don't want to accidentally infect others at work or in public. If your children attend daycare, keep them away for a few days if a child at their daycare has strep throat. Once you know an object has been touched by someone with strep throat, you need to make sure you wash it. Because of the highly contagious and hearty nature of this bacteria, every object that has been touched is at risk of transmitting the bacteria to another host. In order to prevent this from happening, wash all the items an infected person has touched. These items include clothing, bedding, dishes (especially cups), straws, silverware, and anything else that may have been contaminated through...


Avoid controversial topics. Take her advice with a grain of salt. Avoid competition. Deal with arguments that arise with your mother-in-law.

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

Don’t bring up any sore spots when your mother-in-law is in town. In particular, don’t discuss finances, politics, religion, children, or sex while she’s around.  Finances can be a touchy subject in any marriage. They can become even more difficult to navigate by involving in-laws. Don’t talk about your money situation when your mother-in-law is in town. If she asks, politely change the topic to something else. Keep discussion of politics to a minimum. You never know where your in-laws may be coming from. Even if you agree, it’s best to avoid contentious topics during a short visit. Find something you agree on to change the topic if she brings it up. Don’t talk about religion with your mother-in-law. This is especially a good idea if you know there are differences when it comes to religion. Regardless, make sure to not spend too much time on discussions of religion if could be a point of contention. Say things like "Well, everyone has their own beliefs" if disagreements come up. This may be obvious, but don’t talk about sex with your mother-in-law. It’s uncomfortable and can cause problems in your relationship with your spouse. Mother-in-laws love giving advice. Listen to them politely if they offer advice. However, don’t feel obligated to follow their advice.  Let your mother-in-law give you advice. Even though you may disagree with her, it’s better to let her talk than cutting her off or disagreeing with her. Listen politely to their advice. It may be worthwhile advice or helpful. Regardless, don’t be rude and let them know they are heard. Say things like, "I understand" or "That seems like it worked for you" when she gives advice. Feel free to ignore their advice if you want. There’s no rule that you have to listen to your mother-in-law. Be polite, but don’t’ feel like you have to follow what they say. Mothers-in-law may want to compete with their children’s spouse, especially if the spouse is a woman. Don’t compete with them.

Avoid controversial triggers. Listen and demonstrate respect for the beliefs of others. Transition to a less controversial topic.

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

If you know someone to have a strong opinion about a particular subject, it may be best to avoid the topic. You can avoid a topic by simply not bringing it up, or politely excusing yourself if someone else broaches the subject. You might find a sudden urge to use the restroom or need to take a call outside. If you've only just met a person but suspect he or she is highly opinionated consider avoiding religion and politics. Both subjects are highly controversial, so it's a pretty good bet the person has strong opinions about one or both. If you find yourself in a conversation with someone who feels very strongly about the topic, treat his or her beliefs respectfully. It's okay to question the beliefs and opinions of others. Discussing controversial topics can actually make the involved parties more similar to each other, causing small changes in one another's thinking. However, using strong language or sarcasm, can further polarize both parties. Ask questions about why the person feels the way he or she does and about alternatives to his or her opinion. Avoid making offensive or generally negative statements, like "it would be stupid to…" or "only an idiot would…" These kinds of statements are sure to incite someone with who obviously feels differently than you do. Politely interrupt the conversations and divert attention to a new topic. You might start with a brief apology for interrupting and then make a statement or ask a question about an unrelated topic. Flattery is a great way to decrease the intensity of a person discussing a topic passionately. Try saying "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I just noticed your shoes are fantastic. Where did you get them?"


Avoid crash diets. Don't skip meals. Include moderate exercise daily. Eat healthily. Stand up straight.

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

Crash diets usually involve severely restricting your caloric intake for a period of time, with the goal of losing a lot of weight quickly. Sometimes the 500 or 1000 calories-per-day are supplemented with juice "cleanses," diet pills, or diuretics. While the diet might seem to be working at first, most of this weight loss is due to water loss. Meanwhile, your body's metabolism is actually slowing down, burning fewer calories.  You won't be able to get a healthy nutritional balance for most crash diets. Crash diets also have a negative consequence on your mental health. Not getting enough calories is likely to make you irritable, tired, and lethargic. You're unlikely to feel more confident when you're not getting the daily nutrition you need. Skipping meals increases the amount of fat stored around the midsection, or belly fat. Eating smaller meals throughout the day, rather than skipping meals, is more likely to result in weight loss, according to clinical research.  Skipping one meals leads to being hungrier for later meals, and can result in eating more calories later in the day. This can set off a cycle of overeating, followed by fasting, that can lead to a host of health concerns. Going for extended periods of time without eating will send your body into survival mode: your body will turn to muscle mass for fuel in order to preserve its fat supplies. Clearly, this is the opposite of what you'd like as you prepare for bathing suit season! If you're trying to lose weight to gain confidence in your swimsuit, remember that both diet and exercise have a part to play. Each week, aim for at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) of vigorous activity, or a combination of the two.  For teens, the amount of exercise recommended is about an hour per day. Choose exercise routines that you can sustain over time, which means doing activities that you like., finding the mix that works best for your body will lead to feelings of confidence,...


Avoid crowds and sick people. Keep clean. Protect your skin from germs and scratches. Cook your food thoroughly.

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

Chemotherapy patients are more susceptible to infection than others. To reduce your risk of infection, avoid sick people or anyone with cold, flu, fever or any other infection. You should also avoid crowds such as in schools, shopping malls, and public gatherings. To reduce risk of infection, it is important to wash your hands regularly and especially before eating, after using the bathroom, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing or petting animals. You should also bathe every day.  Be sure to clean feet, groin, armpits and other moist, sweaty areas. Don’t get into hot tubs, and don’t wade, play or swim in ponds, lakes, rivers, or water parks. There may be germs in the water that could make you sick. Dry skin is more easily wounded, so keep your skin moist by applying lotion daily. Wear gloves and other protective gear when doing activities that could lead to injury. If you do get a scrape, be sure to clean it immediately. You should also cover the scrape with a bandage to prevent germs from entering your system. Avoid contact with dirt and dirty objects.  Avoid contact with cat litter boxes, bird cages, and fish or reptile tanks. Wear gloves when gardening and wash hands afterwards. Don’t keep fresh flowers or live plants in your bedroom. Undercooked or raw food can lead to infections. Steaks, roasts, and fish should be cooked to 145º F (65.5º C) and poultry to 160º F (71º C). Be sure to keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs away from ready-to-eat foods to avoid contamination. Keep cutting boards, countertops, and utensils clean. Choose pasteurized products rather than unpasteurized ones, such as dairy and honey.


Avoid danger or warn others when you sense hostility. Knowing always if someone is telling you the truth or not saves time and energy. Being good custodians of the earth is a given with Empaths. Helping others using both a professional skill and Empathic ability is also a calling for many Empaths.

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

Hostility is a large and unmistakable emotional mass for an Empath.  Once one has sensed this specific set of vibrations and learned that it means hostility or danger, it can be avoided or sidestepped rather easily. Even if others to not know you are an Empath, in most groups it is easy to suggest taking one hallway, road or path versus another, thereby bypassing the threat. This knowledge eliminates confusion and frustration in many aspects of life. Most Empaths are very strongly connected to the earth and all living things. For clients, this ability paves the road for trust, feeling safe and supported and having someone value you for exactly who you are.  Getting angry at an empath is a big mistake and feels like having a bucket of water thrown in their face. An inexperienced empath is likely to wonder what's going on and feel very upset. An experienced empath might respond rather more abruptly. Either way you won't understand just how offended the other person feels. Remember that although you will always feel driven to some extent to help others and be a good custodian of our world, it is not up to you alone.  Do not allow yourself to be depleted or taken hostage emotionally.


Avoid dangerous or illicit supplements. Talk to a dietician or nutritionist. Evaluate bottle labels carefully. Get sufficient amino acids. Choose vitamin supplements that encourage muscle growth. Take a fish oil supplement. Give supplements at least a month to work. Adjust protein supplements to fit your diet.

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

There are no legitimate short cuts to muscle gains. There are many supplements that claim to enable you to build muscle quickly, but may come with disastrous long-term health consequences. When you're trying to accelerate muscle growth, the best way to do so safely is to talk to someone who has experience with sports or bodybuilding nutrition and can advise you on which supplements will most benefit you.  If you're a member of a gym, they typically will have a dietician or nutritionist on staff who you can consult. If not, they may be able to recommend someone local who can help you. Once you have recommendations from a dietician or nutritionist, talk them over with your healthcare provider before you start any supplements, particularly if you are at risk or have a history of nutrition-related health issues. The bottle of any nutritional supplement will have important information about recommended dosages based on your age and sex. Be careful not to exceed these recommended dosages, or you may put yourself at risk for health problems such as loss of appetite and osteoporosis. Check the bottle as well and make sure all seals are still intact and it has not been tampered with. Amino acids are protein-builders, and are essential if you want to gain strength and grow larger muscles. They also help in fat loss and recovery after workouts.  You can get amino acids from meat, dairy, and seafood, but it's possible you won't get all the amino acids you need through food sources. For this reason, an amino acid supplement can be beneficial if you want to accelerate muscle growth. Amino acid supplements are especially important if you are a vegan or vegetarian and want significant muscle gains. Keep in mind your body does not store excess amino acids, which means sufficient consumption is a daily requirement. There are a number of vitamins, including vitamins C, D, and E, as well as B vitamins, that are essential for healthy muscle growth.  Minerals such as calcium and magnesium also are essential if you want to...


Avoid deciding whether or not a man is "husband material" based on the first few dates. Be honest while dating. Consult a matchmaker.

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

First dates are often awkward and it can be difficult to properly judge someone after just spending a few hours together. Of course, if you aren't attracted to him or he does something egregious, you are under no obligation to see him again. Likewise, even if marriage is very important to you, don't think about how every guy you date can be "the one." This kind of thinking puts too much pressure on budding relationships and may make you rush into a marriage you aren't ready for. This doesn't mean you should tell a man you've just met all of your most personal secrets. However, do your best to be yourself during the casual dating phase, rather than the person you think he would want you to be. If he doesn't like the real you now, you two will probably not be a good match when things get more serious. Most cultures around the world have traditionally used some form of matchmaking to help people find their ideal mates. Even in countries where matchmaking had fallen out of fashion, the practice has seen a recent boost in popularity. If you've ever joined a dating website with an extensive personality quiz, you've engaged in a modern form of matchmaking. Most matchmakers pair their clients according to personality, values, hobbies, goals, and other traits.


Avoid deleting files and programs indiscriminately. Use an online list of programs and processes, or an internet search to identify what each thing does. Use a program to automatically clean up startup items.

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

Deleting startup programs without knowing what they are can lead to certain applications not functioning properly.  Before making changes that you are unsure of, use System Restore to create a “restore point” that you can revert to if something goes wrong.  Many startup items have names that are somewhat descriptive, but others are obscure abbreviations, and have functions that are difficult to identify. This may require some time, as it requires you to search for each file or process individually. Some helpful lists include:  Process Library: winner of PC Magazine’s Top 100 Classic Websites, 195k+ entries.  Pacman’s Portal; an online startup program database containing more than 35K entries There are many free, popular programs that can cleanup startup items for you, including items in the system registry.  These programs often contain databases that are updated to include frequently occurring unnecessary items, as well as other tools to improve your computer’s performance.  As always, do ample research to find reputable programs to avoid damaging your computer. Some popular programs include: CCleaner Virtuoza In Control Should I remove it?


Avoid direct sunlight. Apply aloe vera to the scar. Moisturize the area.

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

If you experience tattoo scarring, avoid placing the scar in direct sunlight. The sun can cause scarred tissue to darken or become red, making it look more noticeable. As a result, you should always apply sunscreen to the scarred area before sun exposure. Use a sunscreen that is SPF 30 and reapply frequently throughout the day. Aloe vera gel may help to reduce the appearance of scars by moisturizing the skin. The gel from the aloe plant contains microbial and anti-inflammatory properties which may help heal the skin and reduce scars. Apply the gel directly to the scarred skin 2 to 3 times a day. Moisturizing a scar will not remove the scar, but it may help to blend the scar tissue with the surrounding skin. Moisturizers will provide nutrition to the area and may reduce the appearance of scars.


Avoid distractions by limiting electronics. Study one subject at a time instead of multitasking. Stay organized with a study schedule. Take notes and ask yourself questions as you read. Take an active break at least every hour. Practice a growth mindset. Make sure you get enough sleep every night.

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

If you have family members that distract you, politely ask them to leave so you can continue with your assignments. Make sure the TV and radio are off. Turn your phone on silent. If you don't need the internet for your studying, turn your WiFi off so you won't get distracted.  If you like studying with music, make sure it is chill music, without words, that won't have you singing along and getting distracted. You can ask one of your family members to help you keep all the distractions away from you, such as mobile phones and laptops. If you're feeling really stressed, it's often tempting to work on 3 assignments at the same time, because you're so worried about all of them. But that actually makes each task more unpleasant and difficult to accomplish, makes everything take longer, and means you do a worse job on each task. Instead, devote a chunk of time to studying for one class, take a break, and then start studying for the next class. Studies have shown that multitasking isn't only ineffective; it's also stressful. You can get much more enjoyment out of a task if you focus on it and do a good job, and then move on to the next thing. Keep a detailed planner listing all your tests and assignments. This can be in a paper planner or online. For each day, write down the homework or studying you have to do and when you plan to do it. It can be helpful to write down other time commitments you have, too. Mark out time slots to work on long-term projects and study for big tests, so that you don't push them to the last minute.  It's also very satisfying to be able to check off each item as you complete it. You feel accomplished! Reading to study isn't like reading a novel for fun: you have to make sure you are actively focusing on and remembering the information. As you read the material, ask yourself about what you've just read to check your comprehension. Take notes by writing down the chapter headings and then make a few bullet points for each one with key information. If you're not sure what is the most...


Avoid distractions. Exercise your mind to stimulate and strengthen your brain. Learn a new language. Meditate. Do yoga.

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

Sometimes this is enough to keep your brain focused. Promise yourself that you’ll only check email or social media twice or three times a day. Stick to it. Set a time to give yourself a break, and keep it. You will probably be surprised at how much you can achieve without these distractions. Choose which activities appeal to you intellectually. Some of us like number-related games, while others prefer words.  Try Sudoku, crossword puzzles, drawing and math quizzes.  These create and maintain important neuronal connections critical to your cognitive ability. Try writing with your opposite hand. It may be difficult initially, but with a little practice and some neuronal connections, you’ll get the hang of it. Writing with your non-dominant hand forces you to focus both mentally and physically and can help clear your mind. Even if you don’t get very good at it, the act of learning a new language can stimulate your brain in new and good ways. Particularly for older adults, learning a language can improve cognitive function. This might be the most useful technique to achieve mental clarity. Meditation allows you to clear your mind of all of the thoughts running through it and allow you to focus much more easily. Once you know how, you can do it for short periods at home or in another quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. To learn the techniques of meditation, there are many books and online resources available. There are also meditation classes and meetings in many communities. Like meditation, part of the practice of yoga is clearing your mind. In yoga, it’s about focusing on the positions your body takes and clearing both your mind and body of stress. Yoga classes are widely available -- at community centers, yoga studios, and through gyms.


Avoid disturbing the soil before you begin. Remove any debris from the area. Mark trees, shrubs, or bushes you intend to remove. Weaken weeds with herbicides. Wear long-sleeved, protective clothing while clearing underbrush.

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

Heavy digging can bring weed seeds to the surface and worsen your underbrush problem. Weed seeds can lay dormant for years before growing. Wait until you're ready to work before touching the soil. Wait to till the soil until you have cleared the underbrush, as hoeing weed-prone areas can bring up dormant seeds. Walk around the area you plan to clear with a trash bag, and throw out any trash you find. Use a wheelbarrow to remove large items, like tires, furniture, or tree branches. Using garden tape, tie a marker around plants you wish to remove so you don't cut down useful plants accidentally. Alternatively, you could also mark the plants you intend to keep. Mark whichever option is lower. Apply a broadleaf herbicide (used for many weed species) directly to the weeds, and avoid spraying the herbicide on plants you want to keep. Use herbicide on a sunny, windless day so only the weeds are killed. Plan on using the herbicide at least a week before you clear the underbrush.  Remove any toys, clothing, or furniture from the area before you spray.  Call poison control if the product is used in ways it wasn't intended for (especially if the herbicide was ingested).  If you have large patches of weed growth, attach a herbicide sprayer to your garden hose to apply a large amount of herbicide at once. Clearing overgrown plants puts you at-risk of touching poison ivy or oak. Wear clothing that covers your skin from direct plant contact. A long-sleeve shirt, a long pair of pants, work boots, and safety goggles will all keep you protected from dangerous plants.  If clearing underbrush in the summer, work in the morning or evening when temperatures will be lowest. Wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect any exposed skin from the sun while working.


Avoid drilling above or below light switches and outlets. Look for studs Mark the area where you would like to drill with a pencil.

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

Accidentally drilling into your electrical wiring can be a dangerous and costly mistake. You can help prevent mishaps by making sure not to drill directly above or below light switches, outlets, and other obvious electrical fixtures in your walls. If you locate a switch or outlet on an upper floor, try not to drill directly beneath it on the floor below.  You can also avoid accidents by using a wire detector. Some electronic stud finders have built-in live wire detectors. If you must drill near live wires, shut off the power to the area where you’ll be working beforehand. If you’re drilling into a bathroom wall or another wall located near plumbing or a radiator, you may wish to consult a plumber first. They can help you avoid accidentally drilling into a pipe. if you’re drilling into drywall. If your wall is sheetrock or plasterboard, you’ll need to find a stud if you want your drill hole to support anything heavy (such as a mirror, a large painting, or a shelf). The easiest way to find a stud is to use an electronic stud finder. Turn on the stud finder and move it along the wall until it beeps or flashes a light to indicate that it has found a stud. Move it back and forth so that you can figure out where the outer edges of the stud are located.  Studs are wooden beams that form the support structure for the walls. If you don’t have a stud finder, you may be able to locate a stud by knocking on the wall. The areas between studs will have a hollow sound, while the areas over the studs will sound more solid. Once you’ve determined where you want to drill, you’ll need to mark the spot. Use a pencil or other marking tool to make a dot or an X over the exact spot where you want to drill your hole.  If you need to drill 2 or more holes next to each other, use a level to make sure they are properly lined up. If you’re drilling into tile, ceramic, or glass, mark the spot with an X made of masking tape. This will both mark the spot and keep the drill bit from slipping or chipping the tile when you begin to make your hole.


Avoid drinking alcohol. Avoid certain substances that can cause gastric irritation. Manage your stress levels. Perform regular exercises. Do breathing exercises. Spend time doing things you enjoy.

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

Drinking alcohol has many detrimental effects on the body and having Crohn’s disease only provides another reason not to drink it. This is due to the fact that alcohol has a depressive effect on the digestive system.  Alcohol also contains acetaldehyde, which is toxic for the body. This toxin irritates the stomach lining and intestine. It also increases gastric acid production, which worsens symptoms of Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammation of the stomach and intestinal linings. Therefore, it is important to avoid substances that irritate the digestive system further. Examples of such substances include:   Cigarettes: The nicotine found in cigarettes increases gastric acid production that irritates gastric lining. When too much gastric acid is produced, the mucus normally found in the stomach (that serves as protective layer) is damaged, causing stomach and intestinal ulcers.  Spicy foods: Capsaicin is found in chili peppers, which are used as spices in food. Capsaicin is an irritant which causes a burning sensation when eaten. It also causes irritation to the esophageal and stomach linings.  Caffeine: Caffeine may cause increased gastric acid production leading to delayed healing of stomach ulcers. Examples of caffeine-containing substances are coffee, tea, and sodas. Stress can cause a flare-up of Crohn’s disease, as stressful situations can trigger symptoms of the disease.  Whenever the body is under stress, the immune system is overactive—calming yourself down helps to limit the worsening of symptoms. The normal digestive pattern changes whenever a person is under stress. Stomach activity is affected, causing slower absorption and increased gastric acid production. Stress can be managed through relaxation techniques. Exercise helps to relieve tensed muscles and anxiety. Swimming, jogging, bicycling, and running are all recommended forms of exercise for sufferers of Crohn's disease. Doing exercises 3 to 4 times per week for 30 to 45 minutes can provide great relief.

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

For many men, ED will only occur once or twice and isn't an indication of anything more serious. Once it happens, however, men often have anxiety about it and think about it when having sex. This anxiety can actually cause ED, so dwelling on the problem will only make it worse.  If ED happens once, do your best to brush it off as a one-time occurrence.

Avoid eating more than 3 small apricot seeds a day if you're an adult. Don't give more than half of one apricot seed a day to toddlers. Contact a medical professional if you feel ill after eating apricot seeds.

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

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), adults that eat more than 3 small apricot seeds a day are at risk of developing cyanide poisoning. If you're going to eat apricot seeds, carefully count the number of seeds you're consuming so you don't accidentally eat more than 3. The safest way to avoid cyanide poisoning in toddlers is to avoid feeding them apricot seeds altogether. If you do decide to feed a toddler apricot seeds, cut one seed in half and limit their daily intake to half of one seed. Symptoms of cyanide poisoning include nausea, headaches, insomnia, thirst, nervousness, body pain, fever, and low blood pressure. If you experience any of these symptoms after eating apricot seeds, stop eating the seeds and contact your doctor.


Avoid eating while driving, if possible. Eat small amounts frequently. Keep at least 1 hand on the wheel at all times. Place napkins within easy reach.

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

In general, eating while driving is not advised. This is especially true with heavy traffic. If you're feeling hungry, pull over for a snack. If you do need to eat while driving, stick to bite-sized portions that are easy to quickly pop in your mouth. Large meals can weigh you down, leaving you feeling drowsy. It's not safe to drive while sleepy. Instead of having 1 or 2 big meals on your trip, have light snacks throughout the day with small meals in-between. This will help you stay alert on the road. If you are eating or drinking in the car, make sure you keep a hand on the wheel and your eyes on the road. Do not eat anything that requires  both hands unless you are able to pull over for your meal. In the event of a spill, the first thing you'll be looking for is a napkin to mop up as much of the damage as possible. However, looking for napkins can be a distracting process that keeps you from driving safety. Store napkins in the glovebox or the console for easy-access. You may also want to keep wet wipes in the car to clean your hands in case any of the food items are sticky or messy.


Avoid emetics unless directed to take them. Do not drink salt water. Take caution with other home remedies. Avoid potentially dangerous substances.

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

Over the counter emetics, or medicines that can make you throw up, should be avoided unless a medical professional directs you to take some as a last resort. Ipecac syrup, for instance, was once commonly used to induce vomiting. However, it has been shown that medications such as these can complicate treatment for poisoning. In fact, ipecac is no longer produced for over-the-counter sales. While salt water is a classic home remedy to induce vomiting, it may actually pose a risk to a poisoning victim.  This is because drinking salt water can push toxic substances further into the digestive track and speed up absorption of the substance in the process. Furthermore, drinking large amounts of salt water may cause serious health complications, including death. Folk methods of inducing vomiting include drinking mustard or raw eggs, or eating large amount of food. The safety and effectiveness of these methods has not been proven. For instance, eating a large amount of food to induce vomiting may actually speed up absorption of a poisonous substance. There are a handful of substances that can induce vomiting but are not recommended. These include activated charcoal, atropine, biperiden, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, scopolamine, copper sulfate, bloodroot, lobelia tincture , and hydrogen peroxide.

Avoid excessive alcohol. Educate yourself on hypercalcemia and its causes. Avoid fatty or fried foods. Limit foods with lots of simple sugar. Don’t crash diet.

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

There is a very clear link between excessive drinking and pancreatitis. Reducing your alcohol intake is one of the most important things you can do for your body if you are prone to pancreatitis. About seven out of 10 cases of chronic pancreatitis are the result of long-term, heavy drinking.  Alcohol and biliary disease are the number one and number two causes of pancreatitis.  Try to eliminate all alcohol from your diet. Cigarettes increase the negative effects of alcohol on the pancreas, so it’s also important to stop smoking. If you or someone you know drinks excessively, it may be time to seek help. Seek help from a rehab facility or a recovery group such as Alcoholics Anonymous. If you have hypercalcemia, this means that the calcium level in your blood is higher than normal. It's most common in women over 50, and can be caused by overactive parathyroid glands, some cancers, and severe dehydration among other things. Hypercalcemia rarely causes pancreatitis, but when it does, the pancreatitis is typically severe.Hypercalcemia rarely comes with symptoms, but they could include bone pain or muscle weakness, excessive thirst, nausea, or heart problems among others. Ask your doctor for a blood test if you suspect you might have hypercalcemia and be vigilant for signs of pancreatitis as well. Anything high in saturated or trans fats is a no-no if you are prone to pancreatitis. Particularly if you are recovering from one attack, fatty foods can cause another bout of pancreatitis. Try to skip foods such as these:  Fatty meats, such as organ meat, bacon, pepperoni, and salami Greasy foods, such as burgers and french fries Foods high in trans fats, such as packaged baked goods, fast food, and frozen pizza Full-fat milk, yogurt, or cheese Foods high in simple sugars increase you triglyceride levels (the amount of fat carried in your blood), which can lead to gallstones and pancreatitis. These include sugary sweets and high-calorie beverages. Some big ones to skip include  Soda Cakes, cookies, and pies Candy...


Avoid exercising control of the station. Complete an FCC application. Review the purchase agreement with your lawyer. Schedule a closing.

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

The FCC repeatedly cautions potential buyers not to exercise control of the radio station before the sale has been completed. For this reason, you should not have employees at the station on a daily basis. However, you can work around this rule in the following ways:  You and the seller can sign a consulting agreement, where the seller agrees to hire you as a consultant. The seller pays you some money to make the agreement official. You buy all of the station’s broadcasting time under a Time Brokerage Agreement. You must file this agreement with the FCC. You must submit a long form application to the FCC and seek their approval for the transfer. You may also have to file other forms, depending on your circumstances. You will file electronically.  After filing, you must wait 30 days for people to object during the public notice period. If someone does object, then you and your lawyer should talk about how to respond. Objections can lengthen the approval process several months or even years. When no objection has been made, you will typically receive your grant from the FCC within a month. However, another 30 period starts up during which people can ask the FCC to reconsider their decision to grant you a license. You conclude the sale with a purchase agreement signed by both buyer and seller. As buyer, your lawyer typically drafts the contract and then both sides negotiate the deal. This process should start early—any time after you sign a letter of intent. The purchase agreement might change as you continue to negotiate or learn more about the station. A final, negotiated purchase agreement should contain the following:  Assets you will buy. Generally, you agree to buy “all tangible and intangible assets” and then exclude any assets you don’t want. You can also include a schedule to the agreement which lists in detail the assets you are buying. Purchase price. You should also explain how you will make the purchase at closing. Amount of earnest money deposited in escrow. Earnest money is the sum you give the...


Avoid exposing your testes to high temperatures. Quit smoking as soon as possible if you smoke. Cut back on alcohol consumption and eliminate recreational drug use. Reduce your exposure to everyday chemicals. Review the side effects of OTC and prescription medications.

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

Relaxing in a hot bath or hot tub, wearing tight underwear, using a warm laptop, and sitting down for long periods of time can elevate the temperature of your testes and negatively affect sperm count. Your testes hang away from your body for a reason—to maintain a slightly lower temperature that is suited to sperm production. Switch to boxers or looser briefs that don’t constrict your testes against your body. Smoking tobacco products inhibits blood flow and lowers the levels of a protein called protamine 2, which is vital for a healthy sperm count. Stop smoking as soon as you can, and consult with your healthcare provider about smoking cessation programs if you need help quitting. If you don’t smoke, limit your time around others who do, so you don’t inhale secondhand smoke. While low to moderate alcohol consumption (0-2 drinks per day) is unlikely to have much impact, heavy alcohol consumption can reduce your testosterone level and sperm production. So, if you don’t currently drink, this is a good reason not to start.  While there is less research-based evidence regarding the impact of recreational drugs like marijuana and cocaine, anecdotal evidence exists that connects them to lower sperm counts. They can also cause a range of other health problems. If you are using marijuana for medicinal purposes, talk to your doctor about your options. Man-made chemicals such as pesticides, plastics, and artificial additives in food may potentially cause your body to produce more estrogen and throw your hormones off balance—possibly resulting in a lower sperm count.  If you work around pesticides or lead-containing products, make sure to take proper safety measures at all times. While the research is more limited regarding the impacts on sperm count, you might also consider measures like the following: avoid using plasticware for food storage; drink filtered water rather than chlorinated tap water; stop consuming animal products that contain hormones; and stop using synthetic deodorants and toiletries. Low sperm count...


Avoid exposure to sunlight. Don't pick or squeeze pimples. Have good hygiene. Avoid makeup products with alcohol. Pursue a focused treatment plan.

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

Exposure to excessive amounts of sunlight will cause acne scars to darken (hyper-pigmentation) while hindering the healing process — this includes tanning and sunbathing. Be careful to avoid direct sunlight, especially during peak hours in the afternoon.  Apply sunscreen (broad-spectrum SPF 30) liberally before you go out, and reapply two hours later. Try to find brands that will not clog skin pores. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for extra protection. If your scars are on your arms, neck, or back, cover those with clothing as well. Largely made from collagen, scars are the body's natural way of healing itself. Picking and squeezing your acne or acne scars will further irritate the skin tissue and keep it from properly healing.  Instead, wash with a gentle cleanser to get rid of the oils and dirt that cause acne. You might also try over-the-counter acne products. Look for products that have benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient.  Watch what touches your skin. Keep your hair clean and swept away from your face, and avoid resting hands or objects like phones on your face. There is a balance between under-washing and over-washing skin. Under-washing leaves excess skin cells, oil, bacteria, and other debris on the skin, potentially clogging pores and creating blemishes. Over-washing irritates and dries the skin, contributing to excess oil production and more breakouts. Refrain from washing problem areas more than twice a day. When washing, use gentle cleansers with smooth grains and light scrubbing to exfoliate. Avoid products containing large grains, such as almond or apricot shell fragments, that will potentially damage or irritate the skin.  Showering is especially important following exercise and/or heavy perspiration to prevent bacterial growth on the skin.  Wash your hands when soiled and avoid touching your face or other problem areas. Touch can drive bacteria and debris into hair follicles, causing acne. Products containing isopropyl alcohol will strip the top layer of skin and dry it out. As...


Avoid eye contact. Avoid escalation. Remember that it's nothing personal. Stay safe.

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

Although it can be difficult not to react when someone is shouting at you, the best thing to do is ignore it. Keep your eyes on the road, and try not to make eye contact with the enraged driver. If an angry driver yells at you or shares a rude gesture out his or her window, don't shout back at them. Continue to drive as safely as possible ignore the angry driver. Fighting and driving angry is dangerous to both of you as well as the other drivers and will only cause the situation to escalate.  Roughly half of US drivers reported responding to an enraged driver by yelling back or making a rude gesture. As many as 37% of road rage incidents involve a firearm. This alone is an excellent reason to avoid road rage escalation. If another driver cuts you off or honks at you, it's because they're experiencing their own road rage, not because they are angry at you. Don't let it ruin your commute. Taking offense at his or her action will only cause your own road rage to escalate. If you do become a victim of another driver's road rage and you feel threatened, take steps to keep yourself safe. Note the license plate number, make, and model of the vehicle in case the situation escalates and there is vehicle damage. If you're being followed, drive to the nearest police station and request assistance.


Avoid fad or crash diets. Never set foods off-limits. Find alternative ways to cope with emotions. Ask for support. Keep a food journal. Reassess your diet plan.

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

When you put yourself on a diet of maple syrup and chili powder, it's pretty obvious that you're not going to stick with it. Even diets that are carb-free or all-protein are recipes for non-committal. When something isn't natural and doable, it's bound to be short-lived. There's no quick fix for long-term weight loss. If your diet involves severe calorie limitations, self-induced vomiting, cutting entire categories of foods (or only consuming 1 category), using laxatives or weight-loss medications or products, it's not healthy. You'll be better off (and more motivated) with a diet that makes you look good and feel good—for a long, long time. The older we get, the more we think we're not like children, but we still are. If you set 3 toys in front of a child and tell them they can't have the third one, which one will they want to play with? The same goes with your food. If you can't have dessert, you'll want it all the more. So instead of eliminating it, just limit it. Let yourself have a bite. Otherwise you'll just eat everything else! Telling yourself you can't have something just feels terrible. It's a punishment and it starts the negative thinking train rolling down the tracks. The truth is a bite of that cake won't make you gain weight—but 3 pieces will. So load up on your steamed veggies for dinner and sneak a taste of your friend's dessert while she's not looking. The massive amount of cauliflower you just ingested proves you deserve it. When friends gather, be it in celebration, commiseration, or just to kill time, what do they do? They eat (or drink). When we're happy, we eat. When we're sad, we eat. When we have nothing better to do, we eat. Unfortunately, that's not good for anyone. Alternative methods of feeling must be had! Start thinking about when and why you eat, not just what. Maybe you always eat mindlessly when you're watching television, or maybe you go straight to the fridge when you're stressed. When you become aware of your patterns, it becomes easier to determine the cause. Start by...


Avoid falling behind. Limit distractions. Don’t read when sleepy. Avoid going into it without practice.

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

Once you fall behind in your reading it is hard to catch up. Try not to “owe yourself one” or think that you’ll double up on time later. This can cause people to feel overwhelmed and helpless, and can cause people to give up instead of pushing forward.  Try sticking to a schedule and routine to avoid falling behind. If you do fall behind, make a realistic plan about how to get back on track. Give up television for one evening or take your book to the gym to make up time. Be sure to control your emotions if you find yourself behind in your goal. Keep from feeling overwhelmed and hopeless by putting a realistic plan into action.  The best way to avoid this feeling is to stay ahead of your reading at all times. Get rid of any outside source that has the potential to steal your attention away from your book. Turn off your laptop, close yourself in your bedroom, turn off the television, and leave your phone on the charger. Make this time an important priority over everything else. If you read while tired, you’ll either fall asleep within a few pages or you won’t retain any important information. Instead of reading at the end of the day when you’re drained, try reading as early in the day as possible when your mind is still fresh and fully functioning. Being comfortable is a major part of reading; but being comfortable and tired is usually a recipe for disaster. Avoid reading in bed unless it has become habit or part of your winding down routine for bedtime. Attempting to read a book in a week without previous practice can be a difficult task. By reading and sharpening your learning skills, you are able to practice your "meta-skills" and become more proficient in learning, reading, remembering and thinking. If possible, try to increase your reading skills before setting your goal to read a book in a week.  This practice can be equated to cutting wood. If you have wood to cut you must first sharpen your saw when cutting the first log, not the last.  You can build your skills by reading more (not just books), reading...


Avoid fatty foods. Cut back on gassy foods. Reduce your fiber intake. Evaluate the amount of dairy in your diet. Eat yogurt daily to cultivate healthy gut bacteria. Eat a low salt diet. Consider whether you may have difficulty digesting artificial sweeteners. Increase the efficiency of your digestion by drinking enough water.

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

Fatty foods slow down your digestion and give it more time to ferment and produce gas in your bowels. Deep-fried foods and fast food are particularly likely to do this.  Your body needs some fat to help it absorb fat soluble vitamins, but that is easily attained even with a low fat diet.  Get proteins from low fat sources like lean meats, poultry, fish, and drinking low fat milk.  Though meat and animal products are common sources of protein, you can also get all of the proteins you need from plant foods by eating the right combinations of beans, nuts, and other foods. Many restaurants cook with a lot of fat such as cream, whole milk, or butter because it gives their food a rich flavor that people like. Reduce your fat intake by cooking yourself. Some foods produce a lot of gas when they are digested. Many people feel gassy after eating:  Beans Broccoli Brussels sprouts Cabbage Cauliflower Lettuce Onions Fruits like apples, peaches, and pears Replace gassy vegetables with those that don’t give you discomfort. You may need to experiment a bit to figure out what works best for you. Ease off on high fiber foods. High fiber foods can increase gas production as they are digested. These include whole-grain breads and bran.  If you recently increased the amount of fiber in your diet, reduce it again and then add fiber more slowly so your body has time to adjust. It may take a few weeks. If you are taking fiber supplements reduce the amount until your symptoms subside. Then increase again slowly at a rate you can tolerate. Some people become lactose intolerant as they get older. This can cause gas and bloating. If this is the case for you, you may need to reduce the amount of milk products in your diet such as milk, cheese, cream, and ice cream. A healthy digestive tract needs lots of different microorganisms which contribute to digestion. Eating fermented dairy products like yogurt or kefir will help maintain bacterial community in your digestive system. This may improve or prevent health conditions that can cause...


Avoid fearing rejection. Separate yourself from rejection. Try to see rejection as opportunity.

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

It's natural to feel a little hurt after getting rejected, but it's important that you don't let yourself become afraid of rejection in the future. That kind of fear and avoidance are part of catastrophizing, which involves assuming that one experience is part of a larger, more serious pattern.  Remember that even though rejection may be inconvenient and even painful, it is not a horrible, life-or-death situation.  Keep in mind that rejection is never permanent. New opportunities will always present themselves eventually. Many people respond to rejection by internalizing it. It's easy to feel that someone's rejection is a reflection of your own worth, but it's simply not true. You've no doubt had crushes on some people and not had feelings about others, and it has nothing to do with how attractive or interesting or likable that person is. Much of it boils down to compatibility. Other times, a person may just not be ready for a relationship. Whatever the reason, it does not reflect on you. Never let someone else's approval or rejection define your own worth. Remember that you are wonderful just the way you are. Yes, it's unfortunate that your crush didn't feel the same way about you, and it's probably a little painful. However, it's just one person, and that person wasn't right for you. Try to think of rejection as an opportunity to find a better situation with someone who will feel the same way about you. If your crush didn't think you'd be compatible together, that just means that there's someone else out there with whom you'll be even more compatible.


Avoid feeding cats dairy. Maintain a clean litter box. Introduce new food gradually.

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

Many cats do not have the enzymes necessary to digest dairy products. While cats enjoy the taste of cream and milk, you may want to offer other types of foods as a reward instead. This will make your cat less prone to outbreaks of diarrhea. For cats, constipation may be caused by litter box issues. Cats do not like using a messy litter box, and may hold in stools if their box is dirty. Be sure to clean your litter box every day to prevent constipation. If you're changing up an animal's food, do so gradually. Sudden changes in diet can cause diarrhea or constipation.  At first, feed your pet half of its new food and half of its hold food. Gradually increase the amount of the old food until your pet is comfortably eating the new food.


Avoid feeding your mantis right before it molts. Leave the cage alone while the praying mantis is in a molting position. Provide a more humid environment if you notice a lost limb.

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

It may look a little plumper than usual, as the new skin grows underneath the old. Plus, it will likely stop eating and try to scare away insects you want to feed it. You may also notice cloudiness on the skin and larger wing bumps. The praying mantis may become lethargic.  If your mantis has wings, it's reached the final stage of molting and won't shed its skin again. If you think your mantis is about to molt, make sure to remove any insects, as they could feed on the mantis skin or knock it off its perch. The insect will hang upside down from a limb or mesh. If you move the cage, you could knock it off and damage the insect in the process. In fact, if the mantis falls, it only has a 25% survival rate. Molting only takes about 20 minutes, but the mantis won't fully dry for 24 hours. Praying mantises can lose limbs for various reasons, including low humidity in their cage while molting. If you notice yours has lost a limb after molting, try to increase the humidity by misting more often or providing a water bowl. Then, it may re-grow the limb after it molts next. If you think your mantis is dying because it's only half-emerged from the shed skin, you can place it in the freezer to humanely euthanize it.


Avoid fertilizing your plant for several weeks. Choose a fertilizer without nitrogen.

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

If your plant has been overfed, do not provide it more fertilizer until it appears healthy again (3 to 4 weeks). Allow time for your plant and its roots to recover from the strain of an overabundance of fertilizer. When the time comes to begin feeding your plant again, you can prevent many of the negative effects of overfertilization by using nitrogen-free fertilizer. Use only one quarter or one half of the recommended amount of fertilizer as directed on the package.


Avoid floating on the surface Stay calm and swim slowly to shore if you see a shark. Remain still if you feel the shark brush against you. Wave and shout to signal for help above water. Fight back

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

of the water if fishing boats are nearby. Try not to float on the water if you’re in an area frequented by sharks. In profile, you will look like a large fish or other tasty prey. If fishing boats are nearby, there are likely hungry sharks in the area as well. Instead, keep vertical in the water, with your head up and your legs dangling downward. If you’re swimming, take occasional pauses and stop swimming so you’ll look less like a seal to a hungry shark below. Keep vertical by treading water. If you’re vertical in the water, sharks will not be sure what you are. Consequently, they'll be less inclined to think that you're food. Don’t panic and thrash about in the water, as this will certainly draw the shark in towards you. Instead, swim slowly towards shore and keep your head above water. With any luck, you’ll make it back to shallow water without the shark coming anywhere near you. Excessive splashing or activity attracts sharks. Sharks often investigate unknown objects by nosing up against them, then swimming away if the object doesn’t appear to be interesting or a food source. So, if the shark bumps against you, it’s not necessarily a sign of aggression. It’s more likely a sign of curiosity. Since they don’t have hands, sharks must use their faces and bodies to investigate unknown objects in the water. Even if you’re trying to keep your lower extremities as still as possible, you can still use your mouth and arms to get help. So, wave your hands, shout, and generally draw the attention of people on shore, where help is likely to come from. You'll want to be extracted from your situation if you're surrounded by a swarm of sharks, and signaling for help is the best way to alert others to your situation. Try shouting things like “Help!” or “shark attack!” if the shark bites you. Defend yourself against an attacking shark by punching and scratching at the animal’s eyes and gills. These are the shark’s most sensitive areas and a few well-placed blows or sharp scratched against the eyes and gill may drive the...


Avoid foods that may cause bloating. Stay away from spicy foods. Drink herbal teas. Take vitamin supplements.

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

Bloating can make you more uncomfortable when you have ovarian pain. Limit your intake of cruciferous vegetables, beans and legumes, wheat, barley, rye, dairy, apples, and sugar alcohol. Foods that are low in sugar and carbohydrates, like fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (or FODMAPs) may cause more bloating than other foods. Spicy foods can aggravate your stomach and make you feel more bloated. Avoid foods that contain peppers and other spicy ingredients when you have ovarian pain due to menstruation. Try having chamomile, mint, raspberry, or blackberry tea to help soothe your painful muscles and relax you. This is a good option if you have ovarian pain due to menstruation. Rose hip tea is also a good option, as different rose hip species have been shown to help with inflammation and pain. Vitamin D supplements and fish oil supplements may help to reduce your ovarian pain, especially if it is recurring. Look for supplements at your local health food store or online.  Make sure the supplements come from a trustworthy supplier. The supplier should have their contact information on the label as well as proof of third party testing. Check the ingredients on the label to ensure the supplements do not contain any additives, preservatives, or dyes.


Avoid foods that trigger heartburn. Don't eat large meals. Spend more time chewing. Avoid eating just prior to bedtime.

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

Lots of foods can trigger heartburn (the spilling of stomach contents into the lower esophagus) because they're either too acidic, sweet, spicy or gassy. Everyone's tolerances and sensitivities are different, but if you have a hiatal hernia, you should avoid peppery foods, tomato-based foods, onions, citrus fruits and chocolate products.  Fried and fatty foods can also trigger heartburn and irritate the esophagus and weaken the valve (esophageal sphincter) between the esophagus and stomach.  In addition to heartburn, common symptoms of a hiatal hernia include: abdominal pain, bloating, frequent burping, difficulty swallowing, sore throat, feeling too full, fatigue and sometimes vomiting.  Chronic heartburn can also lead to bad breath, but avoid sucking on mints or candy (especially peppermints) because that can make the heartburn worse. Foods less likely to cause heartburn symptoms include the following: bananas, apples, green beans, peas, carrots,  broccoli, grains, cereals, cheeses, milk, and yogurt. In addition to the types of foods you eat, the portion sizes can also trigger the symptoms of a hiatal hernia. Thus, eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day (similar in size to large snacks) in order to prevent over-filling your stomach and putting pressure on the esophageal sphincter. Americans tend to take much larger portion sizes than they need for adequate energy and nutrition, so reducing them will not likely rob you of necessary nutrients.  Instead of three large meals per day, eat five smaller (and blander) meals spaced out by about two-and-a-half hours. Don't let others dish up your plate when at home. Help yourself and don't feel the need to fill up your entire plate to the edges. If you're very hungry, force yourself to take a small serving initially. Eat slowly and only take a second small serving if you're still hungry. Chewing your food properly is important because not only are you "pre-digesting" and absorbing some of the nutrients in your mouth, but you're also stimulating the...
