Get the proper licenses. Calculate your startup costs. Track the business flow of your bar. Interview your staff. Find the right location. Pick the right name for the bar. Start promoting your bar.

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

The regulations for getting the proper license to carry and serve alcohol for your bar can vary widely from location to location. These frequently have different rules by state, city, and county. There are also differences for the types of alcohol and if you are serving food.  Get in touch with your local or state Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) office. Ask the office what you will need licenses for including if you are selling beer, wine, and hard liquor. They may also be able to help with licensing if you are selling food. You may need to take a state approved course on food safety if you sell more than just sandwiches and appetizers. Often there are limited numbers of liquor licenses produced for a locality for the purposes of control. So you may have to buy your license from another citizen at least in the case of hard liquor. Some localities may require the license for any form of alcohol sale. Usually there is a mandatory waiting period for you to receive the license. This can be several weeks. This is a substantial task in the business process. You may even consider hiring a business manager or accountant to assist you. You will need to figure out how much money you will need from a business loan or investment to begin your business. This way you can also know how much money you need to take in from patrons to turn a profit.  Include costs for basic equipment such as: drinking glasses, sinks, storage racks, drink taps, beer and soft drink dispensing systems, coolers, freezers, ice bins, ice machines, ice picks, ice scoops, dishwashers, cabinets, and display cases/shelves. If you are serving even light food fare you need to include costs for kitchen equipment for snack preparation, sandwich making, coffee making, etc... Figure out how much you are paying for the building. You may be buying an existing bar or renting a location. Include costs of utilities (phone, electricity, heating, air conditioning, plumbing), maintenance, security systems, signage, and safety devices like smoke detectors in this....


Get the right basket. Add towels. Throw in a loofah or body sponge. Add basic bath items.

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

To start, you want the right basket for your spa kit. You do not want a relaxing spa day interrupted by fumbling to find items. Look for a basket with multiple compartments so you can separate items by type.  Before choosing your basket, think about what you're gong to include in your spa kit. Try to separate the items by type so you have a sense of how many separate compartments you'll need. Pick a basket that's big enough to hold all of your items comfortably. It can be stressful to have to dig through items that are crammed into a basket. You want to be able to pamper yourself with comfortable, high quality towels. Choose nicer towels for your kit. If it's within your budget, splurge on higher quality towels at a local department store. You can also opt for soft wash cloths in your spa kit.. Think about color and decoration as well. Choose towels in an attractive color with a nice pattern. Attractive items will help you better pamper yourself. Invest in nice items to use in the bath or the shower. Go for items that are a little fancier than what is normal for you. If you usually wash yourself using a wash cloth, get something like a loofah, body sponge, or bath brush for your spa kit. Choose an item that feels nice on your skin. For a spa day, you want to bathe with something soft and soothing. If you're doing a spa day at home, it can be a nice touch to have everything you need in your kit. This way, you won't be scrambling for items when enjoying a soothing bath or shower at home. Include basic bathroom items, like razors, nail clippers, shampoos, and body washes. If you don't want to take up too much room with everyday items in your kit, go for travel sized versions of your regular bathroom products.


Get the right coverage. Choose the correct shade. Experiment with different brands and colors.

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

Knowing your skin type will help you identify the product and coverage you need. If you have dry skin and need more coverage, try a liquid or moisturizing powder foundation. When you have combination skin, strategically apply powder foundation and liquid foundation with careful blending.  Sticks and cream foundations provides a medium to heavy coverage.  Liquid and powder foundations can be layered alone or together to provide light to heavy coverage. To choose the correct shade, you need to swatch your skin with foundation. While in the beauty store, pick a number of shades that look close to your skin tone. Apply a small amount by dabbing with your finger. Give the sample twenty minutes to absorb and set. Look at it again. If the sample has disappeared, it’s a perfect match.  It was previously believed the best place to test foundation was on your wrist. This is incorrect, and it is more accurate to test your foundation on your neck or jawline if possible.  Your skin tone will likely change throughout the year. Rather than buying a new bottle, try mixing colors to get the perfect shade, or adding a drop of moisturizer to lighten your color. Go for a tone in between the matching of your cheeks and forehead. Matching the larger zones of your face with the more eye-catching areas will ensure you purchase the correct shade. With your honey skin, it may take some time to find the right foundation for you. Don’t get discouraged and be open to experimentation.  Try again if you don’t succeed. Many beauty stores will allow you to exchange an open bottle of product if it doesn’t work out.  Ask for help. If you’re unable to determine which foundation is best for you, don’t be afraid to ask a professional or a trusted friend for their opinion.


Get the right cut. Trim your hair regularly.

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

Before you style, you need to get the cut that's right for you. Straight bangs pair very well with shoulder-length hair, but sideswept and bangs-free cuts also look great. Use your own personal preference to decide which cut is right for you.  While shoulder-length hair can be great on anyone, people with fine-to-medium hair will pull off this look the most effortlessly. For these hair types, a simple trim is often all that's needed to create a shoulder-length cut. Thicker, curly hair will need to be cut in layers to avoid being wide at the bottom. How you define "regularly" will depend on how fast your hair grows. Shoulder-length hair can go longer without a trim compared to shorter styles. However, it should still be cut at least every 4-8 weeks to maintain a neat cut and to avoid breakage.


Get the right cutting and measuring tools. Determine your miter angle. Measure for your starting points. Measure for your angle gap.

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

There are a couple of different tools that you can use to miter corners and what you can use will depend on what you're cutting and how it needs to be cut. Basic, standard cuts can be done on simple materials using a miter box and a hand saw. More complex cuts will need a circular or table saw. These can be rented from your local big box hardware store and they can advise on exactly which type of machine you need. For many interior molding situations such as baseboard and crown, etc., you should not miter the inside corners.  It won't fit right and miters tend to separate in these situations. For inside corners, you should learn a technique called "coping."  This is not difficult (do a search for instructions). Measure the complete angle change. Divide that by the number of pieces that will make the turn. The resulting number is the angle to which you will need to set your miter. The most common miter angle is 45 degrees. Since the cuts are angled, you'll have one side of the wood longer than the other. You'll need to keep track of which side will be which and make your measurements correctly. For example, on an inside corner piece, the measurement of the wall will need to equal the longer, back side of the wood. For an outside corner piece, the inside will need to be equal to the wall but will b the shorter distance. If you want to make use of as much wood as possible, you'll want to be able to use scraps whenever you can. Because the piece will need to be longer on one side then what might actually appear (such as on inside corners), you'll need to be able to calculate how much extra material you'll need at the end. If your mitered corner is at the standard 45 degree angle((360/2)/corners), then you'll need a gap at the end equal to the depth of the piece of wood. If you're using a non-45 angle, you'll need to do some math. Don't worry: it's easier than it sounds. Use a calculator or the interactive circle on this page to find the sin and cos for the angle of the cut you're making. Next, take your...


Get the right dosage. Drink water. Sleep.

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

Drink approximately 1 cup of the mixture four times daily until symptoms ease. Make more as necessary. Even if its ingredients are not actively helping you get better, the potion helps you stay hydrated. Getting enough fluids in your body while you’re sick is important -- it can help you recover more quickly. If you’re congested, try hot beverages like herbal infusions, or the classic chicken noodle soup. If you feel you still aren’t getting enough fluids, sometimes a sports drink can help restore more electrolytes and help you feel better. Rest for as long as you need. Sleeping helps your body heal and recover from the symptoms of whatever flu strain you might be suffering from. Stay away from others so that you don’t get them infected, and wash your hands often and well.


Get the right equipment. Renovate your location. Consider your customer's experience.

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

Microbrewing requires a significant amount of equipment, although you can buy most of it ready to use. Companies like GEA Brewing can supply each piece for every system (mashing, fermentation, cooling, cleaning, packaging) that you will need. You can also find better deals on used equipment on sites like ProBrewer rather than spending more on brand new pieces. You will generally need the following pieces of machinery:  Kettles Kegs Boilers Fermentation tanks Storage tanks Refrigeration equipment and ice liquid tank Cleaning equipment Filter tank and pump Canning and bottling equipment Consider the scalability of your space for your equipment. If your microbrewery is successful, will you have the space to put in additional tanks to serve more customers? You might be leasing a space, buying a former business, or building a new one from the ground up. Either way, you should have a team of high quality contractors and designers to help you create the best space for your customers.   Ensure you have proper ventilation. Breweries run on steam, so you have to ensure that your space can be properly ventilated and that it is also tall enough to accommodate large tanks. Create a proper drainage system. Brewing on location will require very strong plumbing and a drainage system that can accommodate hundreds of gallons of beer. You should budget for a complete renovation of the current plumbing system in your location. Invest in high quality flooring. This might be an easy detail to overlook, but your floors will suffer a lot of wear and tear from spilt beer. Make sure that you have a high composite floor that can withstand the acidic content of beer. How will you accommodate your customers in your space? Will customers be seated primarily at a bar and small tables or will there be booths and large tables? Will you serve food in addition to beer?   What is the design of the space? Will your brewery have a cozy, pub-like feel to it or will it be light and airy? How many people do you wish to accommodate? You should also...


Get the right equipment. Use the proper grip. Have your ball(s) drilled correctly.

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

No matter what you do, if the bowling ball can't catch any friction on the lanes, it's not going to hook. Generally, you need a ball made of Reactive Resin or better (e.g. particle-load or newer epoxy resin cover stocks) for anything but the driest of lanes. These are very easy to find and can be bought at relatively little expense, though resin is more expensive than urethane cover stock and will be an investment in your game. Check out your alley -- how oily are the lanes?  Though most bowling centers do offer "house balls," they are generally plastic (polyester) and won't hook very much, though they are good for most spares since they will travel very straight. Having your own plastic ball for spares (spare ball), and a resin ball for strikes and some spares (spare ball) is a good idea for any level of bowler as house balls don't usually fit your hand perfectly and won't carry pins very well. When you're getting your ball custom-fitted to your hand, you want to know how you hold the ball, your point of axis, and how your grip lies. Grip the ball with the two middle fingers (the middle and ring fingers) of your dominant hand (i.e. the hand you write with), and place your thumb the whole way into the thumb hole. There are 2 main types of grips:   Conventional:  the middle and ring fingers are inserted up to the second knuckle (this is seen in most house balls) Fingertip grip: the same fingers are inserted only up to the first knuckle (fingertip grips will give you more revs than a conventional grip and are easier to hook) A new thing out these days in the bowling community are Vacu-Grips.  These grips will expand and contract to your finger width; this helps if you are going to bowl a lot. You will find that most of the pros use a fingertip grip as it allows you to get your thumb out of the ball first allowing you to "lift" with your fingers creating revs on the ball. This is a personal thing depending on how and where you bowl, so you will need to talk to your local pro-shop operator for advice on this one....


Get the right fit. Avoid thick clothing. Steer clear of the casual. Keep it simple. Maintain normal body proportions.

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

Larger men tend to think that hiding underneath baggy clothing will camouflage their size; however, this is not true. Fitted clothes are simply more flattering (and more comfortable!) than clothes that are too big. Baggy clothing looks sloppy and unappealing. Similarly, clothes that are too small will only highlight your extra weight. Wearing clothes that fit right is important. The heavier the material, the more it adds to the bulk of your body. Thick sweaters and shirts can make you look bigger than you actually are. Plus they can contribute to more sweating, which is a common problem for larger men. Most casual clothing is less attractive on larger men. Baggy clothes and thin t-shirts won’t do any favors for a heavy man. The fact is that fitted trousers with a blazer will look better on a larger man than jeans and a t-shirt will. Try dressing up your everyday wardrobe a bit to find things that are more flattering and make you feel more comfortable. Clothing that has too much going on pattern-wise will only accentuate your body and draw more attention to your frame. Try sticking with solid prints or minimally patterned items. This will help flatter the shape of your body, rather than bringing the eye directly to it. Make clothing decisions that keep your body proportions intact. For example, if you have a larger belly, don’t wear your pants underneath your gut. This will make your paunch more noticeable and pronounced. Instead, wear your pants at the normal level around the naval. This will mask your extra belly fat somewhat and maintain the normal proportions for your body. If you have trouble keeping your pants up wearing them at this level, try suspenders instead of a belt. They are stylish and will fix this problem for you!


Get the right foot position.

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

The first thing you need to look at is your foot placement:  Your front foot should be placed just behind the bolts on your board, pointing slightly towards the front at a 45 degree angle. The ball of your back foot should be perched on the tail of your board. Don't hunch forwards, keeping your shoulders in line with your board.


Get the right gear. Run with others. Time yourself.

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

While you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes and shoes if you're just looking for a faster run, top-of-the-line running gear will be useful if you're going competitive (or setting world records).  Get shoes designed just for sprinters. You'll want a lightweight shoe that has sprint spikes. The less you're weighed down the better, and all that time you spend on the balls of your feet will be made easier with sprint spikes. Wear the right clothes. Being comfortable is the key. You want your workout clothes to fit comfortably and keep your body the right temperature. Unless you really like the feel of them, however, you don't need to worry about buying lower-limb compression garments. Research suggests they don't do much to improve performance.  Get some sprinting blocks. If you're really serious about sprinting, pick up a set of the blocks you've seen Olympic sprinters use to take off from. They help your propel yourself off the starting line. The nearest sporting goods store should have them. Whether you're on a track team or just racing with your friends, running with others is almost guaranteed to make you run faster. A little friendly competition is likely to help you get motivated. Whether it's on a row of treadmills or on a track, running with friends can give you a drive to be the best that's harder to find on your own. Seeing people in your periphery (or trying to zoom ahead of you) will keep you very literally on your toes. Sprinting truly is about how fast you're going and how long it takes you to get from point A to point B. To know if you're really getting better, you'll need to time yourself. Odds are you probably want to get going on setting new personal records. However, only try this two or three times a day at most; once you've been at it for a while, you're performance will start to decline. You'll just get more frustrated as you get tired and find yourself unable to match your previous efforts.


Get the right haircut. Detangle your hair with a comb. Apply an oil or anti-frizz product. Use a heat protectant before heat styling.

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

Some haircuts can encourage frizziness and leave you with poofy hair. To keep your locks from getting poofy, avoid short and heavily layered styles. Instead, opt for styles that feature blunt ends with just a few long layers. The length and weight of the cut will help keep your hair from poofing up. You should also avoid texturizing, thinning or razor cutting, which has a tendency to promote frizziness. When you get out of the shower, don’t use a brush to detangle your hair. Brushes are too rough and can snag your hair when it’s at its most fragile. Instead, use a wide tooth comb to gently work through the tangles so your hair doesn’t become frizzy.  A wooden comb is the best option because it won’t generate static electricity, which can lead to frizz. When you need to use a brush on dry hair, opt for a natural bristle style. They are less rough on your hair than synthetic bristles. If your hair is dry, it will soak up all of the moisture in the air, which means that it can become super poofy in humid weather. To ensure that your hair behaves no matter what the weather, use a hair oil, such as argan, jojoba, or coconut, or anti-frizz serum to seal and protect your hair.  If you’re applying oil to wet hair, place a few drops in your palm, rub it between your hands, and gently smooth it throughout your hair. If you’re using oil on dry hair, apply a drop to the tips of your fingers. Gently work it through the ends of your hair from the ears down to fight the poofiness. Heat styling isn’t a good idea if your hair is prone to poofiness -- but using a flat iron can give you sleek, smooth hair, so straightening it can be tempting. If you must heat style your hair, always use a heat protectant product beforehand. It coats your hair so none of its natural moisture is  striped when you use the heat.  For thick, coarse hair, look for a lotion or cream heat protectant. For fine, thin hair, opt for a heat protectant spray.


Get the right haircut. Get the right hairstyle. Wear the right jewelry. Accessorize correctly. Make your face look thinner in photos. Wear the right clothes. Lose weight.

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

Hair plays a big role in helping your face look thinner. Though there’s no magical haircut that will fix all of your problems, there are certain haircuts that are better than others when it comes to making your face look thinner. If you want to make the most of your hair and use it to make your face look thinner, you can try some of the following looks:  Avoid bobs or haircuts that are shorter than above your ears. These generally make your face look even more round. If you have bangs, make sure you have a soft fringe instead of a straight, severe cut. Softer bangs will make your face look thinner than harsher bangs. Ideally, then your hair should fall between the top of your shoulder and the bottom of your ear. If it’s any longer, then your hair will make your face lose its shape. Add layers to frame your face. A few layers around your face can help it look thinner. Avoid giving your hair too much volume. If your hair is too poofy, then your face will appear a bit rounder. Getting the right haircut is half the battle. Now, if you want your face to really appear thinner, then you have to style your hair in the best way possible to achieve that look. There are a number of things you can do to your hair, whether it’s long or short, to make your face look thinner. Here are some looks you can try:  Wear your hair up in a high ponytail. Wear it halfway up, even letting the top part “poof” up just a tiny bit if you want, in order to elongate your face. Part your hair to the side. This will help keep your face from looking too symmetrical. Opt for a low ponytail on occasion. This will also make your face look longer and thinner. Accessories will help to elongate the face, particularly dangly earrings and long, pointy necklaces. The jewelry should be long and eye-catching. Avoid stud or large round earrings, short necklaces, or any jewelry that does not elongate the face. Along with the right jewelry, you might want to wear a higher hat or sunglasses on top of your head, if that’s your thing. You can wear a scarf...

Get the right size and style of car seat. Get a car seat before the baby is born. Get a lightweight and easy-to-carry car seat. Check the car seat’s materials if your baby has allergies. Purchase a seat that is easy to install and adjust. Make sure the seat fits well in your car. Balance features with price. Read online reviews and get feedback from friends. Visit a children’s store to purchase a car seat. Get a free car seat.

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

There are two kinds of car seats available for infants: infant car seats and convertible car seats. Infant car seats only last for the infant stage, but are usually considered safer for babies, especially smaller babies. Convertible car seats will last for a few years, accommodating the child as she grows from infant to toddler to preschooler.  An infant seat is only for babies, and will always be rear-facing in the car. It usually has a base that is strapped into the back seat of a car, and a snap-in seat that can be removed and carried. These seats are recommended for weights up to 22 or 40 pounds, depending on the model. The snap-in seat can be more convenient, as it can be removed from the car without disturbing the infant. A convertible seat will be rear-facing for at least the first year of the baby’s life (most safety organizations and manufacturers now recommend two years for rear-facing seating), and then the seat will “convert” into a seat for a toddler. These seats can accommodate up to 40 or 50 pounds, depending on the model. Pay attention first and foremost to a car seat’s weight and height limits, not to the age of your child. You will need to have a car seat to transport the baby in just about any moving vehicle once it is born. If you are taking the baby home from the hospital, the nurse who discharges you will likely need to confirm that you have a properly installed car seat in your car. If you are going home in a taxi, you will still need a car seat for your baby to safely and legally ride in a car. If you are using an infant car seat that you will snap in and out of a base, think about how much you will be carrying this around. Also consider the weight of the baby; adding the car seat and the baby together may mean you’re toting around 30 pounds or more. Removable infant car seats also have handles to carry them; test out the handle to see how comfortable it is in your hand. If you are buying a car seat before the baby is born, you will not be able to complete this step. If you are buying...


Get the right size cage. Provide proper lighting. Provide a primary heat source. Install a secondary heat source. Provide places for your snake to hide. Provide water.

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

If your snake is still displaying aggressive behavior after you’ve introduced yourself and deprogrammed it, it could be that something in its environment is making it sick or upset.  If a snake is upset because it is too hot or cold, or feels vulnerable or threatened in its environment, it is more likely to lash out.  Therefore, creating and maintaining a proper environment for your snake is imperative to taming it.  The first step to creating the right environment for your snake is to get it a proper cage.  Most snakes fit into one of three groups when it comes to cage size:  Garter snakes and grass snakes need a 10 to 20 gallon (37.9 to 75.7 L) aquarium. King snakes, rat snakes, milk snakes, gopher snakes and other colubrids need a 30 to 55 gallon tank. Boa constrictors and pythons may need a custom-built cage, as they can vary greatly in length and size. Most diurnal snakes, or those that are active during the day, need a bright white light during the day and very dim lighting at night.  If the room you are keeping your snake in has only dim lighting during the day, you’ll need to place an incandescent white light above your snake’s cage to give them enough light.  At night, they need very little light.  Nocturnal reptile lights or decorative incandescent lights in dark colors (like red, blue, and green) will provide the right amount of light during the night.  The amount of light a snake needs varies by species so find out exactly what your species of snake requires.  For example, unlike diurnal snakes, ball pythons are nocturnal and don’t require a supplementary source of lighting.  Continuous overhead lighting is especially stressful to a nocturnal species.  Lighting and heating your snake’s cage go hand in hand so you’ll want to pay attention to how one affects the other. Snakes require the optimal temperature to live comfortably.  This requires both a primary heat source and a secondary one.  The purpose of the primary heat source is to keep the temperature of the entire cage in the correct range. ...


Get the right size potato. Cut the potato in half. Dry the potato off.

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

In order for this method to properly work, you will need to find a potato that is the right size for your broken light bulb.  The potato should be larger than the broken bulb, leaving enough room to comfortably hold onto the potato when it comes time to unscrew the bulb.  A potato that is too small might not grip the entire bulb or may be difficult to handle.  If you are unsure of what size potato you might need, pick the largest one you have handy. You will be cutting the potato in half.  Make sure that half of the potato will be large enough to cover the broken bulb. Once you've got the perfect potato for the job, you'll need to cut it in half.  Don't worry if the cut isn't exactly half of the potato.  It's only important that you expose the soft inside area of the potato and that there is enough of it to grip the broken light bulb with.  Keep the other half of the potato as a backup.  Be careful when cutting the potato. Don't worry if one half of the potato is bigger than the other.  Start by using the bigger half of the potato first. Potatoes will often hold a lot of water inside them.  Cutting a potato in half will likely release some of this water.  A wet or damp potato can be difficult to hold onto when using it to remove a broken light bulb.  It's always a good idea to dry the potato off as best you can before taking the light bulb out.  Focus on drying off the parts of the potato that still have skin on them. You won't be able to fully dry off the exposed, inner part of the potato.  However, it can help to get it as dry as you can.


Get the right temperature. Provide UVB light. Control the humidity with water.

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

Anoles are natives of warm regions of the south-east US, and places like Cuba, and the Caribbean. If you have anoles as pets you need to make sure the habitat you construct recreates the kind of temperatures that the lizards would enjoy in the wild. You should try to maintain a temperature of around 75-86ºF / 24–30ºC during the day. At night the temperature should drop to around 65-75 Fahrenheit.  You can use heating lamps and thermometers to control and monitor the temperature inside the vivarium. At night, you can use specialist nocturnal incandescent light bulbs which produce heat, but not much light. These can be expensive. An alternative is a heating pad which you can place underneath the tank. Your lizard needs exposure to UVB light so he can synthesize vitamin D3 and metabolize calcium. Your lizard needs free access to 8-12 hours of UVB light a day. Insufficient exposure to UVB will lead to mineral deficiencies and physical problems for your green anole. Your lizard will decide when to bask in the light and when to sit in the shade, but you need to make the light available for him.  The sun is the best source of ultraviolet light. If this is not practical arrange a combination of visible light from fluorescent or incandescent lights and UVB light from a reptile black light. UV light will not penetrate glass, so if you are using overhead UVB light sources, the top of the tank will need to be mesh so the light can get through. Anoles will like a habitat that is humid, but not the kind of humidity you would expect from a wet rainforest environment. Aim for a humidity of around 60-70%. You can do this quite simply by ensuring that water is going into the air in the container. You can purchase a water dripper or a mister system which will do this automatically. Be sure to monitor it regularly to check it is working effectively.  An alternative to this is to spray the leaves of the plants in the container with purified water a few times a day. Lizards are used to drinking water from leaves, so this is also a...


Get the right tools. Set up your paper properly. Position yourself and your pen. Practice primary strokes. Take your time. Consider taking a class.

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

To get the attractive appearance of your calligraphy strokes appearing thick and thin, you'll need to make sure that you have the proper pens, paper and ink.  The best writing utensils for calligraphy are broad-edged ones like markers, fountain pens, brushes, quills, reeds, or staff with inserted tips (called nibs). Make sure that you have paper that ink won't bleed through. Practicing on plain, standard notebook paper is fine, but you'll need to test that the ink won't bleed through. Most stationery stores sell paper that is made for calligraphy. If you're going to use inks, avoid India drawing inks because the lacquer in them has a tendency to clog the pen and rust the nib.  You're better off using a water soluble ink. This means understanding where the lines go so that your calligraphy has uniformity of appearance.  You definitely want to choose lined paper for practice.  Either use pre-lined paper, place paper with dark lines under your practice sheet, or use a pencil and ruler to draw parallel lines on your practice sheet. You'll need to set a nib height -- that is, the space between guide lines as measured by the width of your pen nib. (The width of the widest part of your pen tip equals 1 “nib” in this equation).  A common standard is 5 nibs between guidelines.  The guidelines include the baseline, the waistline, and the ascending and descending lines. The baseline is the writing line that all letters rest on. The waistline is the line above the baseline, which changes according to the x-height of the letter (in this case, 5 nibs above baseline). The ascending line marks the height that all ascending letters (such as a lowercase “h” or “l”) hit. It will be 5 nibs above the waistline (or whichever nib height you're using). The descending line is where descending letters (such as lowercase “g” or “p”) hit below the baseline. It will be in this example 5 nibs below the baseline. As advised to improve any style of writing, sit with your feet on the floor and your back straight (but not uncomfortably...


Get the right water. Add a cleaning agent.

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

Avoid using tap water when making a cleaning solution. Tap water often has minerals that can damage the monitor. Instead, use distilled water. Distilled water can be bought at most grocery outlets, or you can make your own. The two most popular cleaning agents for homemade solutions are isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar. Choice comes down to personal preference, as both are effective at removing tough grime. Avoid mixing the two though, stick with one or the other.  Do not use any cleaning agent that uses ammonia, such as window cleaners, as this can discolor your monitor. When using isopropyl alcohol, don’t use more than a 50/50 mix with distilled water. If you’re using vinegar, start with a 50/50 mix and add more vinegar if the solution isn’t strong enough. Vodka can work as a replacement for isopropyl alcohol.


Get the rollers ready. Spray your hair with gentle hold hairspray. Divide your hair into 4 or more sections. Roll the top and back center sections. Work on rolling the side sections. Spray your hair and let the curls set. Remove the rollers.

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

Go ahead and plug in the hot rollers so that they're fully heated by the time you're ready to put them in your hair. If this is your first time using your set of rollers, read the manufacturer's instructions to make sure you use the equipment properly. Keep in mind that a hot roller set usually comes with a few different sizes of rollers and you will need to use all of them to cover your head. If you want to use only 1 size of rollers, then you may need to buy multiple mixed sets to have enough. Start with completely dry hair, since your hair won't hold curls if you use this method with wet hair. Spray your hair all over with hairspray, which will help define your curls as the hot rollers go to work. It is also important for your hair to be dry since wet hair can steam and this may result in a burn on your scalp. Use a comb to separate your hair out into 4 even sections. You should have 1 on top of your head, 1 on the back center of your head, and 1 on each side of your head. Use a clip to secure each of these sections until you are ready to put in the hot rollers. If you have very thick hair, then you may need to divide your hair into 6 or even 8 sections for hot rolling. Starting in the front, lift up a section of hair that is no wider than the roller. If you have long hair, then you may need to grab a smaller section to ensure that the rolled hair will not be too thick on the roller. Wrap the end of it around the first roller, moving up towards the roots. Roll your hair back towards the crown of your head so that the front of your hair pulls away from your forehead and over the roller. Secure the roller in place with a roller pin of the appropriate size. Continue rolling your hair until you've rolled the entire middle section of hair.  Roll your hair in different directions if you don't want uniform curls. Roll some sections of hair forward and some sections of hair backward. This will result in curls that look more natural. For small, tight curls, be sure to use the smaller rollers in your set. Use medium...


Get the sheep in position. Start shearing the belly. Shear the inside of the hind legs and crotch. Change position and shear the left hind leg and tail. Shear the chest, neck and chin. Shear the left shoulder. Change position and start shearing along the sheep's back. Change position and shear along her right side. Shear the right leg and hindquarter. Skirt and roll the fleece.

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

The first step in shearing a sheep is to get it in the correct position. There are five main positions you will need to use throughout the shearing process.  The first involves gently tipping the sheep over onto her back, then propping her shoulders between your knees for support. Her belly should be exposed and her four legs should be in the air. Keep in mind that the more comfortable your sheep is during shearing, the less she will struggle - making your job easier as a result. The wool on the sheep's belly is normally the dirtiest and is not valuable for selling. This is why it is a good place to start.  Using long, confident blows (this is the correct term for shearing strokes), shear the wool from the top of the brisket (breast bone) all the way down to the open flank area. Make your first blow on the right hand side, your second on the left, then shear off the wool in between. Make sure the first and second belly are set wide enough apart. This will make the rest of your job easier down the line. The next step is to the wool from the inside of the hind legs and the crotch. To do this:  Lean further forward (still holding the sheep firmly between the knees) and bring the shears up along the inside of the right leg. Then bring the shears across to remove the wool along the crotch. This blow may need to be repeated to ensure all the wool is removed. Now run the shears down the inside of the right leg. The most important thing to be aware of here is the ewe's teats. It's advisable to cover the teats with your left (or non-dominant) hand to prevent yourself from accidentally shaving them off. Turn approximately 90 degrees so that your right knee is in front of the brisket and the sheep's right foreleg is in between your legs and her left side is exposed.  First shear the wool from the sheep's left hind leg, starting at the toe and working your way up towards the hind quarters, finishing on the near side of the backbone. Shift your right leg a few inches backwards to gain better access to the sheep's tail....


Get the size right. Choose one with variable heat settings. Select the plate material carefully.

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

Straightening or flat irons come with plates in a variety of sizes. Typically, the thicker that your hair is, the larger the plates you should use. For thick, coarse hair, your straightening iron should have 1- to 2-inch plates. That will allow you to cover a larger surface area in less time.  For thick hair above the shoulders or shorter, choose an iron with plates that are between 1- and 1 ½-inches wide. For thick hair that’s shoulder length and longer, opt for an iron with plates that are between 1 ½- and 2-inches wide. Some straightening irons only come with low, medium, and high heat settings. However, it’s best to choose an iron that allows you to choose a precise temperature. That’s because you want to use the lowest amount of heat possible to straighten your hair, so it helps to be able to select a specific temperature setting.  For thick, coarse hair, you usually need to set the straightening iron between 350 and 400 degrees, so make sure that yours is adjustable to that range. When you’re straightening, start at 350 degrees and see if the iron can successfully straighten your hair at that temperature. If it’s not hot enough, adjust by 10 or so degrees, stopping when you find the temperature that is hot enough to do the job. The plates in a straightening iron can be made of several different types of material, and some do more damage to your hair than others. The best option for straightening thick hair are plates made of ceramic, titanium, or tourmaline because they heat more evenly so they don’t damage the hair as much. They also release negative ions that can help make your hair smoother and shinier. Avoid straightening irons that are made of ceramic- or teflon-coated plates. They don’t heat evenly, so they can easily dry out thick hair.


Get the starting value. Get the final value. Calculate the growth rate over one year.

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

To calculate the growth rate, you're going to need the starting value. The starting value is the population, revenue, or whatever metric you're considering at the beginning of the year. For example, if a village started the year with a population of 150, then the starting value is 150. To calculate the growth, you'll not only need the starting value, you'll also need the final value. That value is the population, revenue, or whatever metric you're considering at the end of the year. For example, if a village ended the year with a population of 275, then the final value is 275. The growth is calculated with the following formula: Growth Percentage Over One Year = FinalValue−StartValueStartValue∗100{\displaystyle {\frac {FinalValue-StartValue}{StartValue}}*100}  Example Problem. A village grows from 150 people at the start of the year to 275 people at the end of the year. Calculate its growth percentage this year as follows: Growth Percentage =275−150150∗100{\displaystyle ={\frac {275-150}{150}}*100}  =125150∗100{\displaystyle ={\frac {125}{150}}*100} ≈ 0.8333∗100{\displaystyle 0.8333*100}  = 83.33%{\displaystyle 83.33\%}


Get the tattoo done by a professional. Follow care instructions. Be prepared for upkeep with touch-ups.

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

Go to the shop you researched and decided on, allowing plenty of time for the process of getting the tattoo.  Be prepared for the tattoo to hurt while getting it done, as any tattoo does. Finger tattoos can be particularly painful, as there is very little muscle to pad between bones and tendons, through which the vibrations of the tattoo machine will then resonate.  Remember to hold still and be patient, as a finger tattoo is very small and requires the artist’s attention to detail to complete it carefully. Always listen to your tattoo artist and follow any guidelines for cleaning, moisturizing, and otherwise dealing with your tattoo after application.  Because the skin of the hands and fingers regenerates quickly, it’s typically advised that you moisturize frequently with an unscented lotion and refrain from exfoliants or harsh soaps, especially in the initial healing period. Keep hands clean, and wrap the tattoo with your aftercare cream and plastic wrap if you must cover your hands with gloves of any sort during healing. Know that a finger tattoo is nearly guaranteed to need touching up by a tattoo artist later on in the life of the tattoo, due to “fall out,” bleeding, fading, or any of the other common issues associated with tattoos on sensitive skin such as this.  If you see blurring in the lines of your tattoo, or parts of the color didn’t take right away after getting your tattoo, notify your tattoo artist and make an appointment for two to four weeks later to go back in and get it cleaned up.  It’s always a good idea to return to the same artist that did your initial tattoo to get touch-ups done, whenever possible, unless you had a negative experience with him or her.


Get the things you'll need. Buy a combo backup battery/air compressor to jump start your car on your own. Find alternate ways of generating electricity. Have something portable to store your items. Keep dirty clothes separate in plastic bags so they do not smell up all your clothing. Get a good quality flashlight.

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

The basic essentials for living in a car are a blanket, a pillow, and a mattress or some other padding. Due to the angles involved in the seating setup, you may develop dull back pain from the cramped quarters. Should this happen, be sure to have pain medication on hand. Once you have your sleeping gear, you'll want a blanket to place over the back seat, and draped over the two front seats. This will block light and people's views.  A cheap cooler will help make life easier. The main thing the cooler needs is to be waterproof. Cold food will cause condensation, while ice will melt. You don't want that water inside of your car. A cooler will help keep your perishable food cool. It will work most efficiently when full, so add bottles of cold water to it as you take out food. If you choose to buy an electric cooler, it will need good ventilation to work. For this reason, it will not work well in your car's boot. It is best placed within the car when running. Make sure it is only running when the engine runs, or use a low voltage cut out device, as explained below. Make sure the cooling vent grille is not touching anything as it exhausts waste heat and may set some things on fire. One essential item, if you can afford it is a Porta-Potty, a chemical toilet. These devices can really make living in a car bearable. They can be purchased for under $100 new these days. If you can't afford a Porta-Potty or don't have room for one, you can pee into wide necked bottles like Gatorade bottles, or make an improvised bucket style toilet. Have a spare tire and at least one can of tire sealant. Be sure the sealant is of the type that can be removed. A cigarette lighter converter is one option. These are useful for powering low consuming devices (100 watts), but if you plan on using your vehicle for cooking, then you'll need to draw power more directly from your battery or you'll blow the fuse. Running electric cooking appliances from your car though is fairly impractical without an expensive dual battery and inverter system....


Get the water ready. Get your face, ears, hands, and feet wet. Take the plunge. Keep moving. Mentally brace yourself.

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

Of course, if you are doing this outdoors or in a cold pool, it'll be ready in advance. This method is short and sweet, and is especially great for both swimmers and athletes who will be using ice baths to help them recover from activity. Once your water is ready, get your mind ready for the shock. Since most of your sensory receptors are in these areas they are the most important to overcoming the shock. This is an easy way to get started if you don't yet have the mental strength to jump right in quite yet. If you can't dip these areas in the water, splash cold water over these areas instead. Just go for it. Jump right in and make sure that your entire body is covered head to toe in cold water. Leaving any areas dry and warm will detract from adjustment, as your body will have something to compare the cold water to. If you are swimming this will be easy, but it can be harder in a shower or bath. Shift your weight and move your feet. Any muscle movement will help kick-start the body's process of thermoregulation and adjustment. At first it will be tempting to jump out of the water or turn the temperature up. Don't let yourself. You can build a mental wall against the cold until your body fully adjusts and embraces it. Each time you build this wall and endure the cold it gets easier, both psychologically and physically, due to increasingly efficient thermoregulation.


Get the whole family involved in the cooking process. Present healthy foods in an attractive way. Hide healthy foods in tasty dishes. Use herbs and spices to make bland dishes more interesting. Switch to healthier cooking methods. Introduce more variety to your meals. Eat dinner together as a family. Organize fun physical activities for the entire family.

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

Once you've adopted your own fit and healthy lifestyle, you can start slowly convincing your family to join you. One great way to do this is to get the whole family involved in the cooking process.  Get kids to help you with baking by doing simple tasks such as sifting the flour during home baking, or beating the eggs for a healthy omelette. Ask family members what their specific likes and likes and dislikes are — if Dad doesn't like onions, maybe you could leave them out of the next salad you make. Host a family pizza night — everyone can roll out their own wholewheat pizza dough and load it with their favorite healthy toppings. This is also a fun way for the family to spend time together. When healthy food looks good, it makes it a lot more tempting to eat, so try to jazz up your healthy dishes by adding colorful fresh ingredients and interesting textures.  If you're trying to get kids to eat fruit, a colorful fruit salad will look a lot more appealing than a few brown pieces of apple. Mixing in some fresh fruit juice or yogurt will also add flavor to the dish and make it more interesting. If you're trying to convince adult members of the family to eat salad, you may not have much luck with a boring combination of lettuce, tomato and cucumber (although these make a good base). Try adding things like strawberries or olives for color, nuts and seeds for texture and eggs and avocados for flavor. A tasty dressing made from olive oil, balsamic vinegar and crushed garlic can also help to make a salad more attractive to picky eaters. Another, sneakier way of introducing your family to healthy eating is to hide healthy foods in tasty dishes. In this way, your family can enjoy their mealtimes, but still benefit from the vitamins and nutrients that healthy food provides.  On it's own, spinach isn't a very attractive ingredient, but if you try hiding it inside puff pastry with some garlic and low-fat cheese, your family will soon be fighting over it! You could also try introducing items like lettuce, carrots and bean...


Get them sitting or lying down. Make sure they’re well ventilated. Ask them questions about themselves. Help them stay calm. Stay by their side and get someone else to call for help.

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

What it all boils down to is that the brain needs blood and oxygen to properly function. If you see someone who’s pale and complains of dizziness and fatigue, get them to lie down in an open area - they're probably going to faint. If there's no place for them to lie down, have them sit with their head between their knees. This isn't as good as fully lying down, but it should stave off the urge to faint, at least for the time being. Someone fainting in a crowd of people is not uncommon, largely because it's so hot and there's no airflow between bodies. If you're with someone who's about to faint, get them in an open area where air can flow and the temperature isn't too hot and stuffy.   If you're stuck in a room and there aren't a lot of options, get them near an open door or window. Just a bit more airflow can make all the difference, even if the room is still too hot for comfort. Remove constricting clothing items like ties, belts, and shoes. This will help you assess the cause of the fainting, offer help, and contact their family. Think about the information you’ll need after they’ve fainted,   Ask when they last ate, if they are pregnant, and if they have any medical conditions you should know about. Ask for a close relative or friend’s phone number. A first-time fainter will likely be scared by what they're feeling. They may have blurry vision, be unable to hear properly, and may have a very difficult time standing up. This stage can last minutes before the faint eventually happens or the urge goes away. Let them know that they're likely going to faint, but all will be fine once it's finally over.  Assure them that most fainting isn't dangerous. As long as they don't hit their head (which you will make sure doesn't happen), in a few minutes they'll be fine again. If this person is about to faint, be sure to stay by their side to quite literally catch them if they fall. Do not leave them for help unless you absolutely positively have to. They need you for moral support, too.  Instead, flag down someone,...


Get them to discuss their fears with you. Don't take a side. Stay calm and confident.

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

First, ask them to talk about their cultural or financial fears, and allow them to explain what it is about your news that makes them fearful. Then, let them know why you are not afraid by being clear about your motives and plans. You could say, for example, “Do you feel that because she is from a different culture that any children we might eventually have would not understand or appreciate our culture?” Avoid giving ultimatums like “It's my way or nothing,” or “If you really loved me, you'd support me.” You probably would not change after a single conversation, so don't expect your parents to do that, either. Taking a side will only confirm their worst fear: that you are rejecting them, their love, their values, and your place in the family as their child. Instead of taking a side, focus on the love you have for your parents. Don't be defensive. If you act defensive, it will suggest to them that something is wrong with her or something is not right in your relationship. Instead, clarify your own opinions and use “I” statements. Saying things like, “She thinks you don't like her,” will only make your parents dislike her more. Own your own opinions rather than using your girl as the scapegoat. A better comment would be something like, “I think you would really like her just as much as I do, once you get to know her.”


Get them to relax. Use different lights and tinker with lighting diffusion. Use flash.

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

Be aware of what makes people squint and keep the lights dim until absolutely necessary. Walk your subjects through the lighting process so they have time to adjust by either covering their eyes until ready or keeping them shut until the exact moment you are ready to take their picture. Provide them until the count of three to keep their eyes covered and then take their picture the second they open them so as to avoid the few moments their eyes' natural squinting reaction. If you are in a studio shoot, tinker with the type of lights in combination with diffusion to help reduce the brightness while still accomplishing the look you are trying to achieve. Make sure to keep lights off until you are ready to test or shoot. Lights can get extremely hot depending on the type and studio. Using stand-ins can help with any fatigue your subjects may endure when sitting in a bright studio. Not only does a flash provide additional light but certain photographic flashes can be set to help the eyes of your subject adjust to different lighting conditions by flashing multiple times. Moreover, flash can also be used in sunny days so as to prevent your subject from squinting.  When using flash on a sunny day, ask your subject to sit with the sun behind them and use the flash to brighten up their face. If the sunlight requires a shutter speed faster than the sync speed of your flash, use a smaller aperture, fit an ND filter onto the lens, or use a flashgun's high speed function. Timers are an effective tool in coordinating photography equipment with your flash. Some flashguns have a remote trigger function that allows you to fire more than one flashgun simultaneously.


Get things done at the right time. Take good notes. Learn how to read quickly. Utilize "dead" time.

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

Timing is essential to being a lazy college student.  While procrastination can be appealing, there are some activities that are best done at certain times. Here are some examples.  Do your homework straight after class when the content is fresh in your mind.  This will save you time as you won't have to re-visit the material at a later date when you might have forgotten it. Write out an essay plan or outline immediately after discussing it with the teaching assistant or professor in office hours.  Again, if you spend some time getting your ideas on paper at the right moment then you'll save yourself time in the future because you won't have to worry about all the good ideas you might have forgotten. At some point, you will have to engage with the course materials.  If you take good notes the first time around, then at the end of the semester or when an assignment is due you can use these notes and avoid having to re-visit what you have already read.  Write good summaries. Try to distill the argument of a text or the main points in a chapter into a single paragraph.  This will serve you well when you come back to look at your notes. Figure out if typing notes works best for you or if you prefer to write them long-hand. Annotate and highlight the text. Use sticky notes to mark important parts. Most college courses require you to read a high volume of complex material.  Learning to read quickly and effectively is one of the key skills you learn in college.  Preview the passage before you start reading it. Take a minute or two to look at the title, the headings or subheadings, any pictures, charts or graphs. Skim over the passage by reading the first and last paragraph, and the first sentence of every paragraph. Researchers suggest that these techniques improves reading comprehension, which will ultimately save you time as you already begin reading with a sense of what's important in the passage.  Read in the right environment so that you actually take in what you are reading.  This will prevent wasting time by...


Get tinder and kindling. Use dry firewood. Start with softwood, sustain with hardwood. Add oxygen to fan your flames.

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

Tinder and kindling are small bits of wood, twine, or paper get your fire going easily. Tinder is the material that will burn easily even with a small spark, making your fire start. Kindling is more substantial and will sustain your fire. You need both to make a good, durable fire.  Good tinder materials: Newspaper, cotton swabs, and toilet paper work well if you have them at your campsite. If you need more natural materials try dry leaves, Cattail fluff, and Birch bark.  Good kindling materials: Dried twigs, small, thin pieces of wood like sticks and broken tree branches. Dried leaves also work well. Keeping a fire burning is a cycle. Start with tinder, then add kindling, and finally wood. To keep your fire from going out, you’ll have to repeat the process throughout. All the wood you use to build your fire should be completely dry. If there's any moisture left in the wood, it will be harder to keep a fire going. Instead, you might end up with a pile of smoking wood. If dry wood is not available, use extra kindling and tinder to combat any moisture.  Stay away from recently chopped trees, as they have a lot of water still and won’t contribute to a sustaining fire.  Seasoned firewood is the best, because it has been left to dry out for months or even years. If firewood has been seasoned properly, it will catch quickly and sustain a nice burn. When outdoors at a campsite or in the woods, look for fallen logs, or find an older tree to chop down. Oak and birch trees are abundant in the United states and are nice, hardwoods which can burn hot, but allow for a longer, sustained fire. Weigh the options of using Hardwood vs. Softwood. Softwood is good for building up a fire, and hardwood will help you keep the fire going.  Softwoods like pines and firs are easier to light but burn down quickly. If you’re trying to keep a fire going that’s burned down, add softwood to quickly draw a larger flame. Hardwood is harder to light when starting a fire, but lasts for a very long time, and burns with more heat.  A solution to...


Get to Monad. Set up your party. Save your game. Enter Monad. Start a battle. Check your enemies. Spam "Die for me!"

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

Monad is a great place to level up, but it's only available once you've reached the top floor of the Adamah Block, floors 215–254 of Tartarus. It's recommended that you be at least level 60 before you enter Monad.  Winning one battle in Monad at level 65 can boost your level up to 72 in an instant. In Persona 3 FES, you will need to defeat the Reaper at the top of Tartarus in order to unlock access to Monad. It is immediately available if you start New Game+ mode in Persona 3 FES. The most essential party member for this method is Alice, as she has the "Die for me!" skill. It is much like Mamudoon (instant death to all enemies), except that it gives a higher chance of success. This skill will be essential for ensuring that the enemies don't get a hit on you. Chances are you are going to die often, so you'll want a save file that you can quickly restore to. It is located at the first floor of Tartarus, that huge double door at the right side of the stairs. You can't miss it. Find a shadow and make sure you get a preemptive strike by striking it from behind. The shadows at Monad range from levels 88–98, making it a great place to level-grind with instant kill spells. However, failure to get preemptive strikes will also cause your party to die instantly. If a Grand Magus, Vehement Idol, Chaos Cyclops, or a Void Giant appears at the higher floors, immediately abort the battle. These four shadows will either block or reflect your "Die for me!" skill. If you encounter enemies that cannot block or reflect Dark Spell, start spamming "Die for me!" until you win the battle. "Die for me!" gives an 80% chance to instantly kill shadows via Darkness magic.


Get to a healthy weight to support your fertility. Try eating vegetable-based protein and full-fat dairy. Sleep at night to keep your hormones balanced. Cut down your caffeine intake. Stop smoking Limit your alcohol intake. Slow down on exercise.

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

You may have heard your doctor drone on about maintaining a healthy weight, but you may not know your weight can affect ovulation and fertility. This rule applies both if your overweight and if you're underweight. Aim for a BMI between 20 and 27.  If you don't know your BMI, ask your doctor, or use an online calculator where you put in information like your height, weight, and age.  Eating a healthy diet, full of fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean protein, and dairy can help you lose weight if you need to and may also help your fertility. Some women have luck eating some vegetable-based protein (such as nuts and beans) in place of meat-based protein to increase the chances of ovulation. Others find eating at least one serving of full-fat dairy a day helped increase their chances. If possible, stick to sleeping at night. If you have a job that puts you on the night shift, see if you can switch to the day shift. Sleeping during the day may throw your hormones off-balance, which in turn may mess up your ovulation. Plus, most people get better sleep at night. Getting enough sleep (7 to 8 hours) may also be helpful. You don't have to skip that morning cup of Joe that jolts you into your day. However, if you're downing more than 200 milligrams (or more than 2 cups) in a day, it could be affecting your fertility and ovulation.  For reference, a typical 8-ounce cup of coffee has anywhere from 95 milligrams to 165 milligrams, while black tea ranges from 25 milligrams to 48 milligrams. if you do. You may have been looking for a reason to quit, and here's the perfect one. Smoking can decrease your fertility overall, including ovulation. So put out that cigarette, and ask for help. Quitting is always easier with help!  Support groups can help, as can letting your friends and family know that you're quitting. They can help you when you're feeling restless and need something to do besides smoking. You probably don't need to give up alcohol altogether, but you should skip drinking binges. A glass of wine every now and then...


Get to couponing Get to social couponing. Thrift shop. Use the Internet to your advantage. Consider a rewards credit card. Aim for experiences, not possessions.

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

. It's not shameful -- it's trendy! There are entire TV shows dedicated to it! It's a veritable movement! So grab your scissors and start scouring. There's weekly ads for your favorite stores and manufacturer's coupons. Don't forget about either! And think seasonal, too. If it's not on sale this week, it may be on sale next, so try to hold off. And sometimes mid-week or post-holiday brings better deals as well. In addition to cutting paper and checking out manufacturer's websites, head for the social couponing websites, too, like LivingSocial, Groupon, Hukkster, or TravelZoo. The deals don't just stop at grocery store goods -- you could be hitting up restaurants at half of what you normally pay. With a little ingenuity, your party lifestyle could stay intact! This is a good way to make life richer, too. Can't afford the gym? Take an 80% off kickboxing class through Groupon. Need a Christmas gift? Hmm, where do you have a coupon for? It doesn't have to stop at things you can stock your house with! This is becoming trendy, too. If you can buy it second-hand, might as well, right? Vintage is totally in and consumerism is totally out. And apart from legit second-hand shops, go for garage sales, Craigslist listings, auctions, and other community events (like church book sales, etc.). You'll be a treasure-finder in no time. Hit up your family, too. We've become a culture that has so much stuff, we actually have storage facilities. Think about how twisted that is. How many people do you know that truly live minimally? So hit 'em up! They probably (read: definitely) have stuff they need to get rid of. You know Craigslist, but have you heard of a site called Freecycle.org? You go to your community's page and find people offering to get rid of things for free. And people wanting things, too, of course. And that's just one of many! You really shouldn't have to pay full price for anything. Apart from the social couponing websites we talked about earlier, there's also sites like eBay and Etsy where you can get things from...


Get to know Tom Baker's look. Find the jacket specific to your season's costume. Add a vest or waistcoat to the mix, over a dress shirt (any light coloured one works, preferably white). Wear a pair of black dress shoes - preferably wingtips. If you want, you could also wear a tie or cravat. Make sure you have a scarf. Gather his (many) accessories. Add a wig or style your hair like this. You're done.

He dressed as a bohemian man with a long scarf and a large personality. Look at his unique dress style and decide what season costume you want. For his first season, you'll need a red blazer or red Levi denim jacket. Either one works well. You'll also need elbow patches (preferably black or brown). For his second season (season 13), you'll need either a brown duffel coat or a replica from hellocosplay.com. It's the exact same thing for seasons 14 and 15.

Get to know basic knee anatomy. Be aware of common knee injuries. Understand how other parts of the leg affect the knees.

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

The knee is the largest joint in the body and is made up of the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), the upper end of the shin bone (tibia), and the kneecap (patella). These bones are connected by ligaments and cartilage, including the meniscus, which cushions the area where the femur and tibia meet. Degrees are used to measure the range of motion in your knees certain activities require. You need 65° range of motion to walk, 70° to pick up something from the floor, 85° to climb stairs, and 95° to sit and stand comfortably. As one of the most heavily used joints in the body, the knee is subject to a range of injuries. The more you know, the better prepared you will be to avoid circumstances that lead to or exacerbate injuries.  The iliotibial band, or IT band, is the area of thicker tissue that runs from the outside of the pelvis to the outside of the knee. The IT band helps to stabilize the knee during physical activity. It can become inflamed and painful when it is overused, leading to iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS). Runners, hikers, and other active people often experience this injury. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is commonly torn during activities like running, jumping, and landing from a jump. Other ligaments may be torn as well. The meniscus, which acts as a shock absorber to protect the knee joint from impact, can be easily torn during activities like twisting, pivoting, or decelerating. The knees are supported by the other muscles in the legs, especially quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Keeping these muscles strong is crucial to having strong knees and preventing injury.   Muscles like the quadriceps, hamstrings, hips, and glutes act as stabilizers for your knee. To help improve your stability, you should exercise and stretch these muscles.


Get to know each other better. Never make assumptions about your best friend. Spend quality time together. Build trust. Find things you both love to share. Support your best friend.

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

When strengthening a friendship, self-disclosure is key to making it a deep friendship. It’s that vulnerability that allows you to get to know them, and for them to know you. Any lasting friendship with your best friend should include some of this. It’s okay to have boundaries, but being vulnerable deepens friendships. Let them know your struggles. You might say, "I'm really struggling with my body image." You might be surprised by what you both share. They are always growing, as are you. And however similar the two of you are, it is important to remember that they are different from you. Supporting those differences is as important as reveling in the things you share. As you grow, the dynamics of the friendship may change. If you are open to those changes, you are well on your way to making the friendship last. Quality time is very important for maintaining a friendship. Whether it’s online or in person (or on the phone), it’s very important to check in with your best friend regularly. Whether you talk about your day, your work, or your love life, meaningful conversation on a regular basis between you two will strengthen the relationship. Trust is one of the most important aspects of any relationship. Trust is built on more than simply telling the truth. It is about being there when your friend needs you, keeping secrets, and respecting your friend’s identity. By sharing things you love, you will find new ways to interact with each other. And you will also deepen the friendship. Shared interests are key to lasting friendships. Sharing more important the interests is more likely to deepen the friendship. For instance, sharing similar world views will be more important than having the same taste in clothing or coffee. Whether it's a community ball game in which they are participating or a huge project at work, it's important to support your best friend in their accomplishments, as well as in their trials. Even good things, like winning a huge award, can be stressful. It's important to recognize that you both...


Get to know each other. Discuss your expectations. Set up a roommate contract. Create a chart on a whiteboard or chalkboard that lists rules and guidelines. Create designated spaces.

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

If you decide from the very first time you meet that you’re too different to possibly like each other, you will certainly set yourself up for a miserable situation. You don’t have to be best friends, but getting to know one another will help you at least establish friendly conversations.  Figure out what you have in common. You might be total opposites on most things, but you will have at least one thing in common. Find out what it is and embrace it. Whether it’s a hobby, or a movie, or a shared love of a particular food, try to do it together every now and then. Accept your roommate as is. If you are total opposites, it may be difficult to understand where they are coming from in many situations.  If you accept things about their personality, interests, taste, etc. you are much less likely to come into conflict. Laugh and admit any quirks you have, and learn about your roommate’s. Be clear about what what you both expect from each other. This is the time to discuss your needs and compromise on what you’re willing and not willing to contribute. Don’t make any assumptions about what is considered  a “normal” or correct way to do things.   Discuss your definitions of “clean.” This can go a long way to prevent future arguments and misunderstandings. You might clean the kitchen, only to discover your roommate upset because you didn’t clean under the stove burners. Discuss your general outlook on dorm life or apartment living. If you are expecting a 24 hour party, it may come as a shock to find that your roommate expects peaceful, quiet solitude. This is something you’ll need to discuss up front. Be flexible and open to change. If this is your first experience living with someone else, it may be a culture shock as you adjust to the habits of someone new. Treat it like an adventure into a new country where everyone speaks a different language and has different customs. Make a set of rules to address a few core issues that might come up during the coming year. This will give you a chance to talk, laugh, and discuss...


Get to know every member of the household before agreeing to becoming a roommate. Think through the things that the guys answered during the interview. Consider asking for a temporary trial if you decide to accept their offer for you to move in.

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

Schedule a decent-length interview and ask that every person in the household be present so that you can get to know one another before you move in. It's an effort but given that you intend on living with these guys, you must feel happy from the outset. The interview process isn't just about them assessing whether you're the right fit, it's also about whether they're the right fit from your perspective too. So, use the opportunity to size up their personalities and decide whether they're the right group of roommates for you.  Ask what household management rules and expectations are already in the household. Then, ask politely whether they're open to having a discussion about renewing those arrangements once you join the household. This will give you an indicator of how receptive they are to listening, learning and being open to change. If they're okay about changing a few things to accommodate you too, that can be a good sign. If there are no household management rules in place, be sure they're willing to change this, as these are the best way for ensuring equal pitching in to run the household smoothly. Ask questions about their interests and hobbies. This will give you a good indicator of what they get up to in their spare time and whether their activities are likely to impinge on the household arrangements and amenity. Ask about the household rules related to parties and bringing home friends. This will give you a good feel for whether you are about to join a household keen on wild partying (great if you like that, not so great if you don't), dinner parties or occasional events, and if fair warning is the norm. It will also give you some ideas about who might be coming over to stay without actually being an ongoing part of the household. You might also ask something like: "If I wanted my mom and dad to stay for a few days when they visit the city, would that be okay?" Gauge their reaction to see if it matches with your preferences. Couple this with your feelings about how they gel as a group, whether or...


Get to know her. Text with her and talk to her online. Be genuinely interested in what she has to say. Listen when she needs to talk. Remember things that she says. Respect her values and beliefs.

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

If you're in school together, talk to her in class. If you have mutual friends, talk to her whenever that group gets together. You don't have to make a big deal about it – just say hello and smile at her. Ask her how she's doing, and strike up a conversation. The first step to showing her you care is getting to know her.  If you make the effort to talk to her, she will get the idea that you care about her – especially if you make a habit of asking her how she's doing. This is a low-risk way to show her that you're interested. The better you get to know her, the easier it will be to show her that you care. Also, getting to know her may make you care about her more – and her care for you may also blossom! If you can't spend much time with her in person, this is a great way to get to know her. Even if you see her every day, however, social media and other instant messaging apps can be great be a great way to talk to her one-on-one. Ask her questions, and listen carefully to the answers. Respond thoughtfully with more questions, and try to learn about her. Take active interest in her activities, without being too nosy or overbearing. Listening is one of the best ways to show that you care.  Start with basic questions: "How's your day going?" or "How was your weekend?" or "Nice shirt – that's my favorite band! Do you like them?" Segue into more advanced questions: "How did that [specific thing] go?" or "Do you go there a lot?" or "Have you ever seen them live?" Don't only ask questions, or you might make her uncomfortable. Share your own experiences, and make jokes. Have a conversation, not an interrogation. Be a kind and patient ear. Encourage her when she feels uncertain, but try not to throw too much of your own opinion into the mix. Offering thoughtful advice can be a great way to show care, but sometimes people just need to talk through their problems. Do not listen with the aim of getting anything from her; listen purely because you care. Remember the details and the specifics, and bring them up when you get...


Get to know him. Laugh at his jokes. Feed off his humor.

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

Humor is subjective. What you find funny won't necessarily be the same thing even your best friend finds funny. So in order to know what tickles his funny bone, get to know him! What TV shows does he like? What comedians? What kind of humor does he use to amuse others? All of these are cues as to what gets him giggling. The most aptly-timed joke on, say, Foucault won't be appreciated by the type of guy who prefers laughing at toilet humor. And it works the other way around, too. Does the guy you're eyeing prefer bro banter? Is he into witty non-sequiturs about current events? Can he be slayed by a play on words in Klingon? Find out! On the whole, women value a sense of humor more than men do. What do men want? Someone who will make them feel funny. Instead of trying to impress him, show him that he impresses you. Showing him that he has the right to laugh at his own jokes, too, because he's just so darn awesome could win him over in no time. You don't have to laugh at every joke he makes like your world has just been altered. If he drops a dud, laugh at him, albeit playfully. Did he just try an unfunny, stereotypical, sexist, blonde joke? Oh, honey. Let him know how cute he is for trying with a fake chuckle and a forced grin. When we click with people, chemistry is pretty Unable to ignore. To show him that you just get him and that you appreciate his humor, feed off of it! Did he just whip out his Sean Connery impression on a dime? Keep it going with your best Alex Trebek or Pussy Galore (doesn't have to be good -- this moment is about him). If not an impression, can you drop a line from a movie or challenge him to up his game to Christopher Walken? Establishing a banter can develop a rapport between you two, creating a bond that won't easily be broken. Whether his humor is self-deprecating or straight out of Family Guy, go with it. Show him that you appreciate how fun he is.


Get to know his friends. Be emotionally generous—with him and yourself. Don’t cheat or try to make your boyfriend jealous.

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

Know, though, that you aren’t obligated to like all of them. Find friends of his that you can get along with and spend some time hanging out as part of his friend circle—and ask him to reciprocate as well.   If you dislike some of his friends, don’t ask him to give up those friendships unless you have strong reason to be concerned (destructive or abusive behavior, etc.). If you dislike ‘’’ all ‘’’ of his friends, you’ll need to sit down and have an honest conversation about how to compromise. Also talk about allowing each other to hang out with your own friends separately. Maintaining strong friendships while in a relationship is both important and healthy for both of you. Do your best to make your actions show that you love and value your boyfriend and want the relationship to work. Ask for the same if you feel you aren’t receiving it.  Don’t play games and don’t be emotionally manipulative. Be honest and straightforward with your feelings. Ask that he do the same. Forgive him and yourself for honest mistakes. Give him the benefit of the doubt. When an issue comes up, don’t go automatically with your worst suspicions. If, for example, your boyfriend shows up late, don’t immediately assume he’s cheating or doesn’t respect you or wants to hurt you. Instead, ask him honestly why he was late, and, if you have no other reason to be distrustful, accept his reasons. Of course, if he has a pattern of poor behavior and you have legitimate reasons for doubt, don’t dismiss them and do talk to him about it. It should go without saying, but never cheat on or try to emotionally manipulate your partner.  If you find yourself so attracted to another person that you absolutely need to be with them, discuss alternate relationship possibilities with your boyfriend or end your relationship with him first. If you find your attention just generally wandering or find yourself wanting to make him jealous, have an honest heart-to-heart with yourself and then with him about what you aren’t getting from the relationship.


Get to know local surfboard shapers. Try using a rental version of the board style you want. Test the board in the best conditions you possibly can.

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

Local shapers can customize a surfboard to your specifications and needs, and knowing a handful of local shapers can open up your options for a new surfboard immensely. Having a close relationship with a shaper who knows your weight and preferences for surfing can make the difference in buying a good board and buying a great one. If you know a shaper who is located near a favorite surfing spot of yours, they may have specific recommendations for surfing in the area. This can show you whether you really are able to handle a shortboard or a fish board, or can lead you towards an option that feels right for you. Don’t be afraid to shell out a few dollars now to test and learn different surfboard styles before committing to a much larger investment down the road. This will help you get a feel for riding the new board without having to worry about inclement weather or unpredictable waters. Find a location with good weather and look out for groups of other surfers in the water to find a good spot to catch waves repeatedly and see if it works for you. If you can catch waves, stay balanced, and feel comfortable riding it, congratulations! If your board doesn’t seem as comfortable or functional as you thought, you may not be able to return it, but you can often take it to a shaper to get it refurbished.


Get to know someone you think is really neat and interesting. Notice their body language to tell if they want to kiss you. Kiss someone when you feel ready, regardless of how old you are. Play kissing games with your friends if you can't find a partner.

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

Try to find someone who strikes your interest. Maybe they are very cute, smart, funny, or unique. Chat with this person to build a friendship, and start to flirt with them to show your interest. This could be a kid in your class or someone in your after-school club.  This may take some time, but you'll be thankful your kiss was with someone you really like. To flirt, you can start by joking around, complimenting them, and making eye contact. If your crush likes you, it won't be too hard to notice. Some promising signs of this include frequent smiles, teasing, poking, tickling, or touching. These are good indicators that your crush may be thinking about kissing you too.  If your crush flips their hair, this may be a sign that they are into you If you notice your crush joking with you a lot and trying to make you laugh, they may want to kiss you too. Around ages 12-15, people often start having their first kiss. Don't feel pressured by other people your age kissing people, and don't rush into kissing someone if you are apprehensive. You'll know intuitively when the time feels right.  It's perfectly normal to have butterflies in your stomach or feel nervous at the thought of kissing someone. If someone wants to kiss you but you aren't ready, say something like, “Sorry, I don't want to yet,” or “Sorry, I'm not comfortable with this.” Another way to find someone to kiss is to play games like Truth or Dare and Spin the Bottle. You can kiss someone at random or have a friend try to help you hook up with a hottie. Many people start kissing by playing games with their friends, so give this a shot if you want to kiss someone.  For example, tell your friend that you want to kiss someone in particular, and then they can dare the person to kiss you during Truth or Dare. If you play these games, know that you may wind up kissing someone. Be comfortable with the kiss before you play.


Get to know staff and faculty members. Use your adviser. Be friendly to everyone. Make arrangements to stay on campus for holidays, if desired.

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

Faculty members can help mentor you and help you get started at school. They are there to provide you with the skills and resources necessary to help you succeed. They were assigned to you to help you succeed. Often they have helpful advice about classes or even just about life. Don't just be nice to the professors or dean: talk to the cleaning crew, cafeteria workers, landscapers, and dorm staff. They will remember you, and smile whenever they see you. They'll also help you when you are in need. If you don’t want to go home for the holidays, speak with your Residential Director. Sometimes they can arrange for you to stay on campus.


Get to know the customer. Give the customer your undivided attention. Listen more than you speak. Reveal something meaningful about yourself. Make the customer laugh. Be patient. Never lie to a customer.

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

Ask the customer questions and learn as much as you can about his or her needs. Your customer should feel as though you care about him or her as a person. The only way to do that is to actually treat your customer like a person instead of a source of profit. Some customers may have a hard time describing what they need, so it will be your job to ask questions that can help them explain what they hope to find. When talking to the customer, your full attention should be focused on that specific person. This is not the time to check your text messages or chitchat with a passing co-worker. It isn't enough simply to look as though you're giving the customer your attention. Prove it by listening actively. As the customer asks questions, address them spontaneously instead of with a scripted line. Rambling off a generic sales pitch won't impress most customers. You need to listen to what your customer has to say before making your own remarks. In some cases, you may actually need to say more than your customer says, but your words should always be chosen in response to theirs.   Talking as much as 70 percent of the time should be your limit, but an even better ratio would be 50 percent talking and 50 percent listening. When you do respond, abandon your talking points and directly address the customer's concerns by providing adequate answers and by asking meaningful questions about his or her circumstances. If your customer knows a little about you, he or she may develop some fondness for you as a person. People are generally more likely to buy from someone they like than someone they dislike or feel indifferent toward.  It's especially impactful when you offer information your customer can relate to. A shared experience or interest can create an instant connection. For instance, if your customer is wearing a sweatshirt with the name of your alma mater on it, that might be a point worth mentioning. Most customers respond well to humor. Be serious about the value of the product and the possible purchase, but introduce...


Get to know the person before getting intimate. Get to know the person’s close friends. Look for red flags in the other person. Ask the person’s friends how they acted in previous relationships. Talk to the person about their core values. Take note of times you feel uncomfortable or angry around the person.

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

Go on dates with the person to determine who they are. When people become sexually intimate, endorphins are released in their brains which produces pleasure, and can create an emotional attachment. This could cloud your judgement on someone who isn’t objectively a good partner. Instead of being influenced by emotion, get to know the person you want to get romantic with.  When you go on dates with the person, talk to them and see if you feel happy around them. Consider what interests you share, how easily conversation flows, and how well you get along. A good indication of a person’s personality is the company that they keep. A person without good social supports like family or close friends may be more likely to experience a decline in physical and mental health.  Friends are not always an indication of exactly who the person is, but can give you insight into what the person likes in people, their moral code, and what they find acceptable in others. Friends can also influence people’s decision making, whether it’s being responsible or indulging in things. Some common red flags include being immature, irresponsible, unpredictable, or controlling. Not having a job or skipping school are two signs that you may not be able to rely on them for support. If you feel insecure about the relationship as a result of this, then spend some time evaluating the other person.  If the person is physically, emotionally, or verbally abusive, then leave the relationship immediately. If the person speaks about their exes obsessively, or in an aggressive way, this could be a sign that they aren't ready for a new relationship. Once you get more comfortable around a person’s friends, you can ask them questions about how that person was in previous relationships, or who they are according to their friend’s perspective.  If the person is good dating material, usually their friends will talk about the positive aspects of their personality. If their friends talk about problems, drama, fighting, or anger, you may want to steer clear of...


Get to know what transitions might be difficult. Keep sensory needs in mind.

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

Spend some time observing the child, if possible - particularly if you are interacting with them often (as a teacher, professional, parent, relative, etc.). Get to know what helps and challenges them so that you can be prepared for difficult transitions.  Start the transition a little early so that it can go slowly, without rushing. They might want to take a little time to finish what they are doing and shift gears.  Try giving a verbal notice beforehand, such as "We're going to leave in 10 minutes. Start thinking about you want to bring in the car with you." Many autistic children are hypersensitive or hyposensitive to certain lights, sounds, touches, tastes, or smells. Understanding the child's sensory needs and sensitivities can help you set them up for success, both during transitions (when sensory experiences often change) and at other times.   For example, a child who finds the noise of the school bell uncomfortable may have a harder time transitioning as it rings. If you keep this in mind, you can help warn them that the noise is coming and perhaps provide headphones to help them avoid the unpleasant experience of hearing it. Some children may also need sensory input, sensory breaks, or an opportunity to stim freely between activities (as well as during them), to make sure their needs are met. Some students may feel calmed by the weight of a backpack during transitions or want to squeeze a stress ball or play with another fidget toy when they feel overwhelmed. It may also be helpful to provide a space and opportunity to calm down in a quiet area or calming down corner, if the child gets unusually overwhelmed.


Get to know your boss. Make your boss’s priorities your priorities. Show loyalty to your boss.

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

When you know someone on a more personal level, you can often develop a better working relationship. Try to show an interest in your boss’s life outside of work. For example, if they have to leave early for a child’s event, you could say, “What position is Clara playing on the team this year?” Maintain boundaries by avoiding personal questions. For example, you don't need to say, "Are you and your husband planning to have more children?" But showing a basic interest is a great way to get your boss to warm up to you. You are part of your boss’s team, which means you should be working towards the same goals. If your boss’s number one priority is developing better customer service, make that your priority, too. Say things like, “It’s great that you have such a clear focus. How can I help achieve these goals?” Don’t say, “Don’t you think it would be better to focus on HR issues?” Let your boss know that you are on their side. Avoid gossiping about your boss with other team members. You never know who might repeat your words. You can also defend your boss’s plans if anyone else in the company tries to go over your boss’s head. Similarly, don't repeat gossip about others to your boss. That might make them think you aren't loyal to others.
