Make sure your mirror has a sturdy frame. Weigh your mirror. Find a place to hang the mirror. Drill your cleats onto the mirror frame. Drill your cleats into the wall. Hang your mirror. Clean off your mirror.

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

Cleats are screwed into the mirror frame, as well as the wall itself. Your mirror needs to have a strong, thick frame to make sure the screws don't damage the glass. Most cleats can hold a lot of weight, but you'll want to check the packaging to be certain. A bathroom scale should be enough to get a good weight. Make sure you have enough space on the wall for the mirror, and otherwise decide how you want it positioned relative to other items on the wall and in the room. Hold your mirror up to the wall to see how much space it will take up.  Finding a stud can be useful, but not necessary if you have a strong enough hanger.  Once you have a good place, mark where the top of your mirror will go with a pencil or some painters tape so you'll be able to measure for the hangers. You can also use those pencil marks and a level to make sure your mirror will be straight. If your mirror is too large to hold up easily and mark at the same time, measure it with some measuring tape or a yardstick, and see how those dimensions fit. Different cleats can be stronger in different places, but in general, it is best to position the braces at the top and bottom edges of the mirror. You may want to use an awl to start the holes. Once you have them in, measure how far apart the cleats are from one another, and from the edges of the mirror. Using your measurements, position the other part of the cleats based on where they need to be to hold the mirror. If your screw is into a stud, you should be fine as is, but if not, you may want to include a wall anchor with your hangers. If you are hanging the mirror onto a wall of brick or thick plaster, you'll need larger screws and a stronger drill bit to get into the wall, and make sure it holds on. Line up the two sets of cleats, and place your mirror down and into the space to hold it in place. If your mirror is too heavy or large for you to lift easily, get someone else to help. You may also want another person to help look in the back to make sure you are placing the cleats together in...

Make sure your objectives are SMART. Evaluate whether objectives are being met. Revise your objectives if necessary.

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

You can make sure your objectives work by measuring them against the criteria outlined in the acrostic SMART.  S stands for specific. Do your learning objectives outline skills that you are able to measure? If they're too broad, you might want to revamp them. M stands for measurable. Your objectives should be able to be measured in classroom setting, through testing or observed performances. A stands for action-oriented. All educational objectives should include action verbs that call for the performance of a specific task. R stands for reasonable. Make sure your learning objectives reflect realistic expectations of your students given the timeframe of your course. For example, you can't expect students to learn something like CPR by the end of a week-long unit. T stands for time-bound. All educational objectives should outline a specific timeframe they need to be met by. Solid educational objectives can help you stay on task as a teacher. Periodically review your course to make sure your students are meeting your objectives.  Obviously, tests, papers, exams, and quizzes throughout the semester effectively measure if educational objectives are being met. If one students seem to be struggling with an objective, it might be an issue of that individual's performance. If every student seems to struggle, however, you may not be effectively relaying the information. Give your students questionnaires and surveys in class, asking them how they feel about their own knowledge of a given subject. Tell them to be honest about what you're doing right and wrong as a teacher. Educational objectives are important. Many educators return to them during a semester if students seem to be slipping. If you're having any issues with teaching, return to your objects and review them carefully. See how they might be revised in a way that would allow you to be a better teacher.


Make sure your other fish are healthy. Invest in a quarantine tank. Consider getting a new fish.

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

Check your fish often to make sure everything is okay. Is there anything you can do to prevent your other fish from dying? If your fish died from a disease or parasite, keep a close eye on any remaining fish in case they get sick, too.  Change the water immediately after you remove your dead fish. This will help remove harmful viruses, bacteria, etc. that may be in the water. If you don't have one already, invest in a filter and, for tropical fish (including bettas), a heater. Make sure that your tank is large enough for the fish you keep or plan on keeping. This can be a smart move if a fish falls ill in the future. Putting it in the quarantine tank can give you time to closely observe it and try to determine what is wrong. It also helps protect any other fish you may have. You may want to get a new fish (or two), not necessarily to replace the fish that died, but to continue the type of relationship you had with that fish. You can even get a new fish that resembles the one you have lost.  If you're thinking about getting a new fish, remember that you will have to cycle the tank again before adding your new fish. If the water and everything else seem okay, add more fish to the aquarium after about a week. This will give you time to monitor the other fish, the water, etc. to make sure everything is as it should be. Only add a few new fish at a time. This will make it easier for you to watch all the fish to see how they are getting along and to make sure that they are all healthy.


Make sure your partner gives their consent. Try to bring up sexual health before you get physical. Ask what kind of contraception they prefer to use.

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

Consent should be clear and enthusiastic. If they seem uncomfortable or aren't sure about having sex, don't try to pressure them. Respect their decision if the answer is no, and don't ask for an explanation.  They might want to kiss or touch, but that doesn't mean they want to have sex. They also have the right to change their mind and stop if they become uncomfortable at any point. Talking about STIs in the moment can ruin the mood, but it's a necessary conversation. Ask your partner if they've been tested within the last 6 months, and inform them about your sexual health in advance.  It's best to talk about sexual health when you and your partner are thinking clearly. You're less likely to make informed decisions in the heat of the moment. If you're already fooling around and haven't had the conversation, don't feel bad about looking out for your health. If they're sexually active and haven't been tested recently, your best bet is to cool things off until they've been screened. Always practice safe sex, even if you and your partner have been screened and tested negative for STIs. If you don't have protection on hand, say, “This is really hot, and as much as I hate to stop, we should cool things off until we have a condom.”  Talking about safe sex doesn't have to be a turn-off. For example, try asking what kind of condom feels best or if they like flavored or textured varieties. Try to be positive when you bring up safe sex. Mention that using protection benefits both of you instead of phrasing it like you need to protect yourself from them.


Make sure your phone is compatible with Apple Pay or Android Pay. Link your cards with Apple Pay or Android Pay. Launch the Uber app on your mobile phone. Tap “Register” and enter your personal information as requested. Tap “Next” when you’re ready to continue. Tap “Apple Pay” or “Android Pay” on the “Add Payment” screen. Choose a vehicle. Tap the car icon on the slider to view details about the ride. Get a fare estimate. Tap “Set Pickup Location,” then select your destination. Tap “Request” to book your ride.

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

Apple Pay and Android Pay are mobile wallet services for iPhone and Android users (respectively). Using one of these services makes it possible to use Uber without having to provide a credit card.  Apple Pay: You must have at least an iPhone 6 to use Apple Pay in apps like Uber.  Android Pay: You’ll need at least KitKat 4.4 and NFC support. The best way to find out if Android Pay will work on your phone is to install the app from the Play Store. If your phone does not support Android Pay, you will see a message that says the app is not supported. These services technically require the use of a credit or debit card to work, but you will not have to provide a card number directly to Uber. If you do not have access to a credit or debit card at all, try a different method. Before you can use a digital wallet to pay for your ride, you’ll need to link a card to your account. See How to Use Android Pay or How to Set Up Apple Pay for instructions on setting up your mobile wallet. Now you’ll register for Uber (if you haven’t yet). If you are already an Uber member, just launch the app, tap “Payments” in the menu, and select “Apple Pay” or “Android Pay” as your method of payment. Type your name, e-mail address, phone number, and a password to protect your account. A text message containing a confirmation code will be sent to the mobile phone number you provided. The app wil automatically attempt to connect with your mobile wallet. Use the slider at the bottom of the map to select a type of Uber vehicle. For a description of each Uber vehicle type, see How to Pick the Correct Uber Type. Here you’ll find the ETA (estimated time of arrival), maximum party size, and minimum fare. On the details screen, tap “Get Fare Estimate.” Here, enter the address of your destination and tap it in the search results. Once you’ve viewed the fare, tap your phone’s back button to return to the map. Enter your destination address the same way you entered your current location. In a few moments, you’ll see the driver’s name, license plate...


Make sure your plant gets plenty of indirect sunlight. Keep the plant in warm, humid conditions. Add some flair to your home or office.

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

Generally, Dracaena Marginata does best with moderate levels of light. Place the pot beneath a window sill or in a shaded spot outdoors where it can get plenty of exposure while staying out of the most intense rays. Since it adapts so well to variations in light and temperature, so there will be no need to move the plant once you've found a good spot for it.  Dragon Tree is also capable of surviving in low light, such as the interior of the home, though this may result in thin, lightly-colored leaves. Direct sunlight is capable of burning or bleaching the delicate leaves. Dragon Tree's rapid growth can easily be stunted if its surroundings are too hot or cold. Temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) are generally best, with an ideal humidity of 30-40%. Luckily, this will be right around the average humidity of most homes.  Though Dracaena is a hearty species that can survive low temperatures, it's recommended that you bring outdoor plants inside during the cold winter months to keep them healthy. If you live in an area with a particularly dry climate, you can promote the reabsorption of moisture by scattering a thin layer of pebbles over the bottom of the pot before adding the soil. The twisted, woody canes and festive coloring of the leaves makes Dracaena Marginata an eye-catching addition to any room. It's especially useful for introducing a splash of color to otherwise drab surroundings or complementing sleek, contemporary styles of decor.  Try lining the entrance of a foyer with lush adult trees, or arrange a young plant on your dining table as a centerpiece. In addition to the standard species, there are also other cultivars of the plant such as Marginata Tricolor, which boasts complex shades of green, red, and gold, and Marginata Colorama, which is distinguished by the thick banding around the edges of the leaves that can make it appear pink or or violet.


Make sure your printer is installed on your computer. Turn on your printer. Activate the touch screen if necessary. Select Setup. Select Network. Select Wireless Network Wizard. Select your network name. Enter your network's password. Select Done. Select OK when prompted.

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

In most cases, all you need to do is connect the printer to your computer via USB cable and allow it to install its software, though many printers also come with installation CDs. Make sure your printer is connected to a power source, then press the Power button. Some printers need to have their touch screens folded out or turned on separately of the printer itself. If your printer doesn't have a touch screen, you will need to connect the printer to your wireless network using the software setup process. If your printer is already installed, you may need to uninstall the printer and then reinstall it in order to connect it to the wireless network. This option's location and appearance will vary depending on your printer, but it most often characterized by a wrench and/or a gear.  You may have to scroll down or to the right in order to find the Setup option. You may have the option to select Wireless as well. If so, tap Wireless instead. Doing so will open the wireless settings. This will prompt the printer to begin searching for wireless networks. You may select Wireless Setup Wizard here instead. This should be the name that you assigned to your wireless network when you created it.  If you didn't set a network name when you set up your wireless network, you'll likely see a combination of your router's model number and manufacturer name instead. If you don't see your network's name, scroll down to the bottom of the page, select the field there, and enter your network's name. This is the password that you use to log onto your wireless network. If your router has a WPS button on it, you can instead press and hold this button for three seconds. This will save your credentials. The printer will begin attempting to connect to the network. You should now be able to print over your wireless network.


Make sure your prosthesis fits properly. Be prepared to refit your prosthesis each day. Keep extra supplies handy. Keep your prosthesis dry.

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

Prosthetic limbs will need to be properly fitted in order to ensure their functionality and comfort.  Your prosthesis will likely need daily adjustments to achieve a proper fit.  Whenever you are wearing your prosthesis, make sure it fits properly to help your limb stay comfortable and to avoid damaging your prosthesis.  Your prosthetist will advise you on how to properly fit your unique prosthesis. Most adjustments will be made by adding more layers of padding, compressing your limb or other simple adjustments.  Do not make any adjustments to the prosthesis itself unless your prosthetist has shown you how to do so. Even though you may have properly attached your prosthesis in the morning, it is likely that the fit will change over the course of your day.  Your prosthesis may shift or your limb may have slightly changed shape, resulting in an uncomfortable fit.  Be ready to make small adjustments during the day to help keep you comfortable and maintain your prosthesis.  Humidity can cause your limb to swell and alter the fit of your prosthesis. Place a bandage on the stump to decrease swelling when you're not wearing the prosthesis.  Cold temperatures can cause your limb to shrink, requiring you to readjust your prosthesis. Because you never know when you'll need to make an adjustment to your prosthesis or limb, it's a good idea to carry extra supplies with you during your day.  These supplies will help you refit your prosthesis whenever you may need to.  Take a look at some of these items to learn more about what your prosthesis kit might look like:   Stump or pull socks Bandages Antibiotic ointment Antihistamine ointment Antiperspirant Tool kit It is very important that you keep your prosthesis dry during the day.  Keeping your prosthesis dry will help protect the prosthesis from additional wear and will also help keep your limb safe from infections or rashes.  Always keep your prosthesis as dry as possible whenever you are wearing it.  If your prosthesis becomes wet, take it off and dry it completely...


Make sure your references know that you will be using them as references. Use a separate page for your references. Start your reference list with a heading. Under the heading, add a clear title. List your references and their relevant information. Format any additional references in a similar way.

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

Do not give out their contact information to potential employers unless they give you their explicit permission.  When asking your references for permission to give out their contact information, make sure that they plan on giving a positive recommendation. It’s also a good idea to ask your references how they would prefer to be contacted (ex. email, work phone, cell phone, etc.). You don't need to have "References available upon request" at the bottom of your resume. Employers will assume you have references and will ask for them specifically - usually at the end of the hiring process. Unless you are applying to be a nanny, personal assistant, or something with a similar level of one-on-one interaction, the main body of your resume should not even mention references. The heading should include your name in a clear, bold font. In a slightly smaller font beneath that, you should include your address, phone number, and email. For aesthetic reasons, you can align your contact information to the opposite corner, as below.  You may also want to add a line underneath the heading in order to clearly separate it from the rest of the document. If you include a line, choose one that is simple and elegant. For a more cohesive, professional look, maintain the same style and formatting that you used in your resume. The title should be in a slightly larger font - about the same size as your name is in the header. Choose a simple, clear title that reflects the content of the page. "Professional References for (Your Name)" is a good example. There are no hard rules for what order to list your references. It can be handy to list your "best" references first - that is, references that are extremely positive and that have worked with you for the longest.  Begin your reference list by listing the name of the first reference in bold. In the line beneath that, write their relationship to you and the company you both worked at. Include the work address beneath that – provided that they still work at the company where you both...


Make sure your remote's item is turned on. Point your remote at the item for which you want to program it. Hold down the item's button. Enter the code while holding down the item's button. Release the item's button. Look for the confirmation flash. Try using Code Search mode

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

For example, if you're programming your remote for a TV, make sure that the TV is powered on. Doing so ensures that you won't have to worry about interference from other items when entering your code. The item's button will usually have the name of the item for which you want to program the remote written on or under it. For example, if you're programming your remote for the TV, you would hold down the TV button. Use the remote control's keypad to type in the four-digit code that you retrieved from the RCA Remote Code Finder website. For example, if you're programming the remote for a TV, you would hold down the TV button while typing in the four-digit code from the website. Doing so enters the code. If the programming was successful, you'll see the remote control's LED light flash one time. If you see four flashes instead, your remote encountered an error. Try a different code if the website listed more than one possible code for your item. . Even though your remote control doesn't have a Code Search button, you can enable code searching for any RCA remote. You'll need to do this if you were unable to program your remote for your selected item by entering the code(s) that you found on the RCA Remote Code Finder page.

Make sure your tractor can handle the weight of the plow blade. Get your tractor serviced before putting the plow on. Consider putting snow chains on your tires. Double check that your tractor has what it takes to hold the plow.

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

Your tractor will also need to be able to bear the weight of the plough blade on its frame. Don’t attempt the conversion unless you are sure it can handle it. Rather than risk converting the mower yourself, consider purchasing one that already has a snow plough attachment available from the manufacturer. John Deere tractors offer this as an option. You’re advised to get your tractor serviced before you begin. Check the frame carefully for rust. Rust will weaken the structure, making it less likely that it will be able to bear the weight of a snow plough blade at the front while also being able to push snow out of the way. Remember also that garden tractor tires aren’t usually intended for use on snow. You might like to consider fitting snow chains to the tires in addition to converting the front fitting. Wheel weights may also help rebalance the vehicle. Not all ride-on tractor mowers will be suitable for turning into a snow plough. Some cheap models won’t be heavy or sturdy enough or have enough horsepower to push deep snow out of the way.


Make sure your uniform fits you well. Wear cool shoes. Find unique accessories that fit the dress code.

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

If you have to wear a uniform to school, it’s important that it fits you perfectly. Your pants should fit you comfortably in the waist and should just touch the tops of your shoes. Your shirt should fit close to your body, especially in the arms, shoulders, and chest. Even if your school has guidelines on the kinds of shoes you can wear, you should be able to find a cool pair that show your personality. For instance, many schools allow their students to wear athletic shoes with their uniforms, so you could wear your favorite sneakers. If your school requires you to wear dress shoes, find a dressy pair of lace-up shoes that still shows style, like a pair of low-cut oxfords. Replace your shoes when they start to fray or get holes. Your school likely allows you to wear at least a watch with your uniform, so look for one that really matches your personal style. A chunky plastic watch in a bright color might be perfect if you are into street style, while an inconspicuous leather watch with a gold face might be best if preppy is your thing.


Make sure your windows have screens and aren't near noise sources. Situate the fans in windows far from sources of bad smells. Place inward-blowing fans on the ground story of your home. Install fans blowing outward on the top floor of your home.

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

This will ensure that your home is suitable for window-fan cooling. Cooling your home with window fans is not recommended for homes without window screens, as insects or animals may enter through the open windows. Noises outside the home will also become louder inside with the window open, although the fan noise may mask some of this. Take a look at your home’s outside surroundings before you decide which windows to situate your fans in. Avoid setting fans to blow inward near garbage cans or parking areas, where fumes and odors may enter the home. Creating air intake near trees or flowering plants will bring pleasant smells into your home. At night, the air near the ground will be the coolest. Situate 2-3 fans in windows on the bottom floor to blow inward and pull in cool outside air. Also use window fans for daytime cooling on chilly days. In this situation, when you’re placing inward-blowing box fans, select windows that are on a shaded side of your home. If you’re using fans during the day, set 2-3 fans to blow inward from the coolest side of the home. This will typically be the side in shade or the side facing north. Fans located in windows on the top floor of your home will blow warm air outside. If you have an attic in your home, place the outward-blowing fans in attic windows and leave the attic door open. If you’re using fans during the day, position your outward-blowing box fans in windows located on the sunny side of the house. If you live in a single-story home, set up fans to blow inward on the shaded side of your home. Set the fans blowing outward in windows on the opposite side. Leave the doors inside your home open for maximum air flow.


Make sure your work area is safe. Cut into the pumpkin slowly. Address injuries quickly.

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

When you're working with knives, take care. Make sure your work environment is safe so you avoid injury.  Work in a well lit area. You need good lighting to see what you're doing and avoid accidentally cutting yourself. The surface you're working on should be dry. You should also make sure all your carving tools are dry. There is no rush to prepare a pumpkin to cook or carve. Cutting too quickly can easily lead to slip ups and injuries. Have patience when carving a pumpkin and always opt to go slowly. You do not want to get injured while rushing through the carving process. Even when taking proper precautions, injuries do occur. If you are injured while cutting a pumpkin, act fast to prevent complications.  Use a clean cloth or rag to apply pressure to the injured area. Usually, a cut will stop bleeding in 5 to 10 minutes. If your cut does not stop bleeding, or if you notice signs like numbness, see a doctor right away. You may need stitches or other medical treatments.


Make sure your workplace dress codes allows you to wear leggings to work at all. Wear leggings that are made of fancy material. Avoid patterned leggings. Pair your leggings with a nice top. Pair leggings with a long sweater. Wear shoes that complement the leggings. Switch over to denim-style leggings for casual Fridays.

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

Even nicer leggings can make a more casual and playful statement, so before you plan your next trip to the office with your brand-new leggings, check out your work environment to see if it's appropriate. Check out to see if other people in your workplace wear leggings or skirts that could be paired with leggings. There's nothing wrong with cotton leggings, but if you need to dress up for work, you should try wearing leggings that are made of suede, leather, or even dark denim. Having a variety of leggings to choose from will help you mix and match more fantastic work outfits.  Remember the rule about not wearing leggings instead of pants. If you wear leather leggings and just a top to work, you will look unprofessional and may embarrass yourself, depending on wear you work. If you just can't give up your cotton leggings, stick to black for work. Stick to mostly black or at least solid-colored leggings in the workplace. If you wear patterned lacy black leggings, you may look too trashy for the workplace. Funky-patterned leggings can be fun for after work, but they are too playful for a work environment. If your leggings have subtle tiny polka dots running over dark material and they almost look solid, that can be an exception. If you wear a fancy top, it can help play up your leggings and make them look more fancy and appropriate for work. Here are some tops that you can wear over the leggings:  Wear a tailored jacket over a simple shift dress and pair it with cotton leggings. Wear a loose top and a solid-color skirt with your leggings. Make sure the skirt doesn't fall too high above your knee to avoid looking too provocative. The loose top should be fancy enough to tie the whole look together. If you have a long, thick sweater that falls below your fingertips, you may be able to pull it off with leggings. Wear a belt around the sweater and high boots that match the sweater. To pull this look off at work, the sweater has to look really nice. Sandals look great with leggings but aren't acceptable for most work...


Make sure your yucca plant can survive your climate. Plant your yucca during the late spring. Choose a location that receives full sun. Prepare the right soil. Form a raised bed over the stones (optional). Prepare the soil. Dig a hole for the yucca. Place the yucca in the hole with the prepared soil around it. Top the soil with 2 inches (5 cm) of granite chippings.

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

The acceptable USDA Hardiness Zones for yucca range depending on species, from zones 4 through 11 (minimum winter temperatures of -30 to +25ºF or -34 to -4ºC), depending on your species. Zones 9 through 11 (17 to 25ºF, -7 to -4ºC) are typically safe even if you do not know your exact yucca species. If you live in a lower or higher zone, it's best to consult an experienced gardener or garden nursery employee to identify your yucca species and find out what zones it will thrive in. Yucca plants thrive during the warm summer months. Planting the yucca at the beginning of the warm weather season gives it the longest growing season possible. Yucca plants need a hot, dry environment, so give your plant access to direct sunlight. Certain yucca species can thrive in colder or shadier locations, but these are in the minority, and typically still do well in full sunlight. If the plant was kept in a shady location, consider moving the pot to an area of indirect sunlight for a week before moving it into full sun. This gives it time to adjust, reducing the chance of burning or withering. The yucca plant should be placed in a soil mix that is 50% sand or gravel and 50% soil. You should make sure that there is neither too much gravel nor too much soil. If you built a stone bed, build a wooden wall around the location the yucca will be planted in to hold in the soil that will form a raised bed above the stones. Nail four 3 feet (0.9 m). by 1 foot (0.3 m). (1 m by 30 cm) boards into a square frame to place around the stone bed. You may wish to tilt the bed facing toward a sunny direction. (Tilt south in the northern hemisphere, north in the southern hemisphere.) Alternatively, tightly pack one or two dozen large stones that measure about 1 foot (0.3 m). (30.5 cm) in height around the stone bed to form a wall. This is more labor-intensive, but may provide additional drainage. Yucca needs a fast-draining soil to prevent root rot. Use a special yucca or cactus potting mix, or mix your own with three parts lightweight clay, four...


Make sure you’re dealing with bees. Take a photo to determine what type of bee it is. Use their nest to identify them if needed. Don't worry if you can't identify them.

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

Whenever you spot what you think is a bee, take a good look at the insect before you attempt to do anything else. Confirm that it is indeed a bee and not a wasp or hornet. Tell the difference by:  Hair: Bees appear furry all over. Wasps and hornets may have a small amount of hair on their bodies, but you’d need to inspect them very closely to see it.  Food sources: Bees nourish themselves from flowers’ nectar. Wasps and hornets prey on other insects and/or scavenge food waste. Thickness: Bees tend to be pretty plump in the middle, while wasps and hornets have thinner waists and more elongated bodies. Expect different types of bees to require different approaches when it comes to getting rid of them. Take a picture of them to show a professional exterminator or beekeeper, or compare it with online resources like http://www.adkinsbeeremoval.com/bee-id-chart.php. If you're in the United States, you'll most likely be dealing with honeybees, bumblebees, carpenter bees, or possibly Africanized honey bees. If you’re unable to take a photo (or if your photos don’t come out that great), don’t worry. Look for their nest. Use that to help narrow down the species.  Honeybees’ nests are often found within hollow spaces, such as tree trunks, logs, and fence posts. They usually don’t use home structures to build their nests but are sometimes found in roofs, attics, and wall cavities if there is access from the outside.   Bumblebees typically nest in or near the soil, such as in deserted rodent nests, compost piles, or underneath raised outdoor structures like sheds or porches. Carpenter bees usually burrow into wood to build their nests. Look for bee activity around coin-sized holes in things like eaves, porches, and trimming. If you can't figure out what type of bee it is, don't beat yourself up about it.

Make sure you’re educated about sex. Make sure you and your partner are prepared and on the same page. Talk to others if you want more advice. Make sure you know that you can say “no” at any time. Make sure your expectations aren’t too high.

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

Before you have sex with your partner, it’s important for you to be educated about pregnancy, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), birth control options, the legal age of consent in your state, and any other important aspects of the sexual experience. If you don’t know how condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, or other forms of birth control work, then it’s important to read up on the subject at reputable online sites such as Planned Parenthood. This can help you feel confident and savvy before you even think about sex.  Though condoms are said to be 98% effective when used correctly, you and your partner should both know how to use them, especially if this is your only form of birth control. If you’re taking the birth control pill, know that it does not protect you against STIs and that you and your partner should be tested before you have sex. Don’t think that a girl “can’t” get pregnant during certain times of the month even if you don’t use birth control. You should always have a plan. In addition to being knowledgeable about birth control options, you have to make sure that you and your partner are in the same place when it comes to using protection. If you’re set on using a condom during sex, make sure your partner is 100% behind this and that he won’t try to convince you that it “feels better” without it. Though it may feel a little awkward to bring this up before sex, it’s far better than having an argument while you’re trying to have sex because you don’t agree about what to use. Using condoms during oral sex can also prevent against STIs. This is something else you should discuss in advance. If you’re planning to have oral sex for the first time, make sure you’ve read up on that, too. If you’ve read up on all of the helpful materials but still feel unsure when it comes to sex, then you should talk to a close friend, a sibling, or even a parent or aunt or uncle for more advice. You may learn a few new things and may feel more comfortable when you see that everyone has fears and concerns when it...


Make sure you’re equally mature. Share interests. Look for someone with self-awareness. Choose someone who is respectful. Take it slow.

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

This can be a tough one when you’re a teenager. Everyone around you is in the process of maturing, and you’re probably all doing so at different rates. Even so, do your best to pick someone who seems to be at a similar place on that journey as you are. It will ultimately make things easier.  A good way to know if you’re equally mature is to notice how comfortable you feel around this person and how easy they are to talk to. Do you find yourself feeling annoyed by them because they’re immature or because they're condescending and elitist? In both cases, you may be at different levels of maturity. Some people like to say that, “age is just a number.” That’s sometimes true, but age can also be a helpful indicator when you’re trying to tell if a relationship will work out. Sharing interests is an important way that people in romantic relationships connect. Of course, you don’t need to have everything in common or like all of the same things, but if you enjoy similar activities, you’ll always be able to find fun things to do together.  Meeting someone through an activity you enjoy can make for a great relationship. You could meet a potential partner in a club, student government, or an extracurricular activity. Similar values or backgrounds can also bring you together. For example, a person who loves sports can still be with a person who loves art if they both have similar religious or spiritual practices. This one can be tough when you’re a teen, since not everyone is going to be mature enough to have self-awareness. Self-awareness means that a person has some conscientiousness about their behavior and their effect on others. They’re able to look at themselves honestly and critically and make changes, if needed.  A person with self-awareness will have some patience and self-control. They won’t try to rush you or the relationship before you’re ready. Self-awareness helps a person be a better partner because they can see how their actions affect you and the relationship. It is important that you find a partner who...

Make sweetened Crème fraiche. Whip your Crème fraiche. Try herbed Crème fraiche.

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

Add one to two tablespoons of powdered sugar to taste, and stir well. If desired, add one teaspoon of vanilla as well. Use a whisk or an egg-beater to beat the Crème fraiche. It should peak, but will not become stiff like classic whipped cream. Add chives and tarragon with a bit of lemon juice, salt, and pepper for a savory variation that perfectly complements meat.


Make tea. Infuse oil. Make a rosemary butter. Make rosemary salt. Flavor your lemonade.

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

Rosemary tea is a warming and delicious tea that you can make with just two simple ingredients, which are water and rosemary. Boil some water in a kettle or in a saucepan on the stove. Place a sprig of fresh rosemary into a teapot and fill the pot with boiling water. Let the tea steep for three to five minutes.  You can also add a wedge of lemon to the tea as well. You can also transfer room-temperature rosemary tea to an airtight container and chill it in the refrigerator to drink cold. Remove the rosemary before storing, and drink the tea within a few days of brewing. To infuse oil with rosemary aromatics, combine ½ (118 ml) of olive oil in a saucepan with three sprigs of fresh rosemary. Heat the oil over low heat for about five minutes, until it reaches 180 F (82 C). Remove the oil from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Transfer the cooled oil and rosemary to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a month. You can use the rosemary oil in place of regular oil for cooking, frying, and making salad dressings. Herbed butters are delightful ways to enjoy fresh herbs and spices, and you can make your own rosemary butter for a variety of uses. Some of the best ways to use rosemary butter include:  Spreading it on toast As a sauce for grilled fish or meat On baked or roasted potatoes Melted in with hot rice, pasta, or vegetables Rosemary salt is great for adding extra flavor to any dish. To make the rosemary salt, combine ¼ cup (75 g) of coarse salt and 1 teaspoon (1 g) of dried rosemary in a food processor. Pulse the mixture to fully combine the salt and rosemary. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and let it rest for a day.  Use the rosemary salt in place of regular salt to season any foods, such as soups, stews, salads, meats, vegetables, popcorn, and more. For best results, use the salt within a year. You can also add lemon, lime, or orange zest to the salt as well. Because lemon and rosemary go so well together, it may come as no surprise that you can even add...


Make the bathing area a positive space. Introduce water slowly. Buy a shampoo formulated for dogs. Prepare the bathing area. Dress appropriately. Foresee potential distractions. Gather your supplies. Brush out the puppy's coat. Make the puppy as comfortable as possible. Take a deep breath and relax.

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

Before giving your puppy his first bath, play with him in the bath or sink a few times without any water. Go slowly and convince your puppy that a bath is a good thing. He may not adjust to the water as quickly as you might've thought. Your pup might not enjoy the bath the first few 20 times, but don't give up! You can do this. Make your pup think of water as a game and not as it's enemy. Give him treats and lots of praise — make sure he thinks of it as a fun place. Give him free reign to sniff and investigate to his heart's content.  Take a few days to let him get used to the area. He should be completely comfortable in the bathing area before his first bath. If the puppy is very small, choose the kitchen sink as a bathing location. It will be more comfortable for both of you. Once the puppy's familiar with the bathing area when it's dry, start getting him used to the idea of water. Run the water while he's not in the tub or sink to get him acclimated to the sound. Splash a little water on him to show him it's nothing to fear. Once he's comfortable enough, fill the tub or sink with a little water and play with him in it. Use plenty of treats and praise, and never rush a puppy who seems hesitant or fearful. Dogs and humans have very different skin needs, so you can't use human shampoo for your pup. Using human shampoo will dry out his skin and leave him vulnerable to bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Buy a nice mild Oatmeal shampoo specially formulated for dogs at the pet store instead. Place a clean, wet washcloth on the bottom of the sink/bath so the pup won't slip when it's filled with soapy water. You can also use a non-skid mat. A puppy who thinks he may fall will be fearful and uncooperative. You don't want to ruin an nice outfit with water, dog hair, and shampoo. Instead, dress in comfortable clothes that need to be washed anyway. Expect them to get wet and dirty, as there may be wet cuddles and frequent shakes from the puppy. Pull hair into a high bun or ponytail. Remove all makeup and chemicals from...


Make the choice to forgive. Write a letter of forgiveness. Focus on self-compassion. Express how you feel. Accept it may take time.

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

Forgiveness is a choice you  must make consciously. If someone has wronged or hurt you, the bad feelings may fade with time. However, if you do not actively engage with feelings of resentment, they may remain present long term. To begin reaching a place of forgiveness, decide to forgive.  Think about why you want to forgive. Remind yourself that you want to be more positive, understanding, and compassionate. Think about all the energy that goes into holding onto resentments. For example, maybe you're angry at a co-worker you used to be friend with and it's taking away a lot of your energy at work. Then, decide you are going to forgive. Keep in mind it may not be easy, and at times you will struggle. However, it's important to make this choice to begin your journey. For example, decide you're going to forgive your co-worker for the sake of your own sanity. You do not need to send this letter unless you're planning to actively repair a broken relationship. However, many people find it helpful to write out a letter forgiving those who have hurt them. Getting your words out of your head can help you abandoned negativity and move forward.  Begin the letter by stating you are forgiving someone. For example, "I forgive you for everything you have done to hurt me." From there, write out everything you're still mad about. Get into specifics about what the person did and how it made you feel. For instance, "For a long time, I was angry that you left me for someone else." End the letter wishing the person well. If you want, you can send it to the offending party. However, the act in and of itself can be cathartic. Unless you genuinely want to reestablish a connection with someone, you do not need to send your letter. If it feels good, use your letter to release any negative emotional attachments. You can bury it, burn it or set it out to sail on a pond. You cannot always control someone else's behavior or actions, or whether another person changes. If you want to become positive through forgiveness, you need to focus on...


Make the cleaning solution. Soak the items in the solution.

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

Once a week, you should chemically clean your espresso machine with a specially formulated cleaner. Dissolve espresso machine cleaner into a container of fresh water. When you prepare the solution, always follow the instructions listed on the cleaning product. In the evening, insert the items into the cleaning solution. Allow the pieces to soak overnight. Do not be alarmed if your cleaning solution changes color. This indicates that the chemicals have dissolved espresso residue


Make the cocoa mixture. Pour ¾ cups of water into another bowl or cup. Microwave the water on high for 1 ½ minutes or until the water boils. Pour the hot water over the cocoa mixture. Pour 2/3 cup skim evaporated milk into another cup. Add ¾ tsp. of vanilla flavoring. Serve.

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

Combine 1 tbsp. of cocoa powder and 1 tbsp. of granulated sugar in a bowl. Stir the ingredients a bit to combine them. Make sure it's microwave-safe.  Stir the mixture until it’s smooth. Microwave it on high for 1 minute. Then, pour the warm milk into the mug with the water and cocoa mixture. Stir well to combine the ingredients. Then, place a few mini marshmallows in the cup. Enjoy the taste of this cup of delicious hot chocolate with mini marshmallows -- if you'd like to treat a friend, just double the ingredients when you start making your hot chocolate, or repeat the process.


Make the cord distasteful. Cover cords with something solid that deters chewing. Disguise cords with tape.

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

Spray or wipe down cords with something distasteful to the cat. There are commercial product solutions and homemade solutions. If making your own, consider using such things as hot sauce; lavender oil; a homemade citrus or vinegar paste; garlic, cayenne pepper, Vicks, dish soap, lime juice,or chili oil or paste. Some people use a light coating of sports ointments (the really strong menthol sort) or deodorant . Be sure to let the applied substance dry completely before re-plugging the cord into the wall and you'll need to reapply homemade fixes periodically. Avoid using anything salty because cats love licking salt. Commercial products include "Chewsafe™" and "CritterCord™", which are clear, flexible protective cord covers infused with a citrus-scent to keep the cat away from the cord. These are easy to add and don't require topical re-applications. Both foil and double-sided tape can work. These can be purchased from the hardware store and are easy to wrap around the cords. With the foil tape, cats dislike the alkaline taste in their mouth and will refrain from chewing anything coated in the tape. With double-sided tape, cats hate anything sticky and won't touch it. The problem with this method is that it is sticky, and therefore tricky, and will also collect a lot of fluff for you.


Make the cupcake batter according to your recipe. Bake the cupcakes. Remove the cupcakes from the oven. Turn out the cupcakes immediately. Clean the silicone cupcake liners. Stack the clean and dry silicone cupcake liners inside one another to store.

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

Place a cookie sheet on an even surface such as a counter top or table.     Position the silicone cupcake liners on the cookie sheet. If preferred, slip into the slots of a muffin tray.     Fill the silicone cupcake liners. Using a ladle, fill the liners two thirds of the way with the prepared cupcake batter. Some liners come with a marked fill line.    Slip the cookie sheet supporting the silicone bakeware into the oven. Check the time. When using silicone liners for the first time, it's important to watch the cupcakes carefully, as baking times may vary slightly from your normal cookware.     Test the cupcakes to see if they're done by inserting a toothpick or skewer into a cupcake that located in the center of the cookie sheet. The cupcakes are done baking when the toothpick comes out clean.    Use an oven mitt to hold the cookie sheet as you take it out of the oven. Be careful. Silicone bakeware cools quickly, but it will be very hot when you first remove it. Once cooled, ice, serve, and enjoy your cupcakes. Load the liners into the dishwasher or wash by hand with warm, soapy water. Given that the silicone bakeware is made of a flexible material, you can turn the silicone bakeware inside out to easily clean the crevices.


Make the cupcakes following the recipe. Frost with chocolate frosting for the dirt. Mold the hands from the sugar paste, fondant or other edible paste you're using. Push a toothpick into the base of each hand, enough to stay embedded in the hand and enough to poke into the cupcake and be anchored. Display and serve.

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

These cupcakes can be normal size or large, depending on how large you intend to make the hand decorations. Dust with cocoa for the "soil". Note that this step may need to be done before making the cupcakes and frosting them, depending on how much time the hands need to dry before adding to the cupcakes. In most cases, it can't hurt to make these at least a day ahead. To make:  Roll enough balls for the amount of cupcakes (for example, a dozen balls). Press the end of each ball to flatten into a cylinder. Flatten one end into a rounded shape. Carve out the thumb, followed by the fingers on the flattened round part. Mold the fingers and thumb to look realistic. Use a knife and toothpick as molding aids. Use a toothpick to create the impression of a fingernail on each finger and thumb. Most importantly, aim for the entire hand to be bent to look like a claw. Continue until you've made all the remaining hands. Allow to dry. Push a hand into each cupcake. Sprinkle with more cocoa if needed. At this point, add any further embellishments needed, such as candy insects, red piping gel for blood, etc.


Make the decision to show your scars. Start small. Practice responding to comments.

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

Most people who hide their scars are still self-harming, but making the decision to stop hiding your scars can help you gain confidence, be open about your struggles, and even spread awareness that self-harm is a serious condition that affects many people. You don't have to just start wearing spaghetti straps or shorts that show off your scars to just anyone. You can ease yourself into it by choosing to expose your scars in certain situations, or to certain people you trust at first, with the goal of gaining enough confidence to ditch the makeup and extra clothes for good.  Consider showing your scars at home. After school or work, take off the extra clothing or makeup and just be yourself, scars and all. This can be a tough step if your parents or roommates do not know that you have harmed yourself. You might want to start by telling them you harmed yourself. Pick a day to go public. One day a week, don't take any extra steps to hide your scars. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend day is up to you. One reason many people are hesitant to expose their scars to others is for fear of what people might say. It's true, many people might make rude or uncomfortable comments if they see your scars. Knowing how to respond in the moment can help make you feel more at ease. Your response will likely vary depending on who is commenting (is it your boss, a child, your grandmother, a stranger?) and why (are they curious, ignorant, or purposely trying to hurt you.  One option is to ignore them completely. Your body is nobody else's business, and you are totally justified in ignoring rude or personal comments, just like you would ignore comments about your body size or facial features. Tell the commenter the truth. If someone asks what your scars are from, you have the option of telling them the truth, but in an appropriately abbreviated form. You may not have the time or desire to tell your whole, personal story, and that's OK (it's really not their business anyway). But you can say, "I cut myself," or "I used to cut myself...


Make the decision to try to forgive. Learn what forgiveness is not. Own the fact that forgiveness is for you.

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

If you are carrying around a lot of resentment, anger, or hurt over something that happened in the past, you may find that you are unhappy and unable to find peace. Perhaps the best thing that you can do for your own emotional health is to practice forgiveness, even if the person who wronged you does not appear to feel sorry. Numerous studies show the value of forgiveness. If you carry around negative emotions for a long time after someone hurts you, you can bring anger and bitterness to new relationships, stop enjoying everyday life, and become anxious or depressed. In order to forgive someone, you do not have to excuse their actions to yourself. You don't even have to eliminate all of your feelings about the situation. It's perfectly normal to go on thinking of an incident even after you have forgiven a person for it.  You also don't have to tell a person that they are forgiven, though if it makes you feel better to do so, this is certainly a possibility. You don't have to forget in order to forgive. In other words, protect yourself. If possible, don't put yourself in a situation where you could be hurt again. For example, even if you successfully forgive an abusive ex-boyfriend, remember that he was abusive when you are tempted to return to that relationship. Forgiving someone else can help you heal and help you move on from an unhealthy relationship.  Particularly if the person you are trying to forgive shows no remorse, forgiveness will be something that you do for your own mental health, not to improve your relationship with the other person. Remember that forgiveness is probably the best thing you can do for yourself, even if the person you are forgiving has no idea that you've done so.


Make the fingers. Carefully slide a toothpick through the base of each finger in the center, about halfway up the finger. Glue on the fingernails. Using the base half of the toothpick, insert each finger into the cupcake soil. Either leave things as they are, or pipe on a little red piping gel for added gore.

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

Roll the marzipan to the same thickness and length as your own fingers (an easy guide to follow). Pinch them in a bit more though––zombies have been stuck in the ground for a while and things have shrunk. You're after a "spindly" look to these fingers. And don't forget the shorter, broader thumb for each hand.  Some fingers should be a little bent over, to give the impression of grasping their way out of the soil, while other fingers can be reaching for the sky. Score some of the back of the fingers with a knife, to give the impression of knuckles. Make as many fingers as needed for four fingers and one thumb per cupcake. This will help the fingers to stand upright when inserted into the cake. Make an edible glue paste using water to which you've added a little sugar. Or use plain frosting. Glue each almond flake to the top of each finger to make the fingernails. Space evenly to make it realistic. The thumb should be around the corner of the fingers, as is the case on your own hand. Done.


Make the first page count. Consider starting your diary with something meaningful, such as a quote or poem. Consider starting with some information about yourself. Know how to fix writer's block. Make it a habit of writing every day. Consider starting with a cheap notebook if you are having trouble getting started with a fancier one. Consider using a planner for a diary.

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

Some diaries may already have a special first page where you can write your name and the title of your diary. Other diaries have a blank first page. In either case, you'd want to make the first page extra special. Here are some ideas to get you started:  Write your name, the title of your diary in large letters. If you want, you can add a message that says "TOP SECRET" or "KEEP OUT", but be warned, if someone finds your diary, this will most likely make them want to read it even more. Use lots of bright colors. Sparkly or metallic gel pens are great for this! Decorate the corners and borders with doodles and stickers. The act of writing something down will help you get over the anxiety of writing in your diary for the first time. If you'd like, you can decorate the page further with doodles, sketches, or illustrations. This is a great way to start a diary that you plan on keeping for the entire year. Include things like your likes, dislikes, hobbies, and other stuff. This way, at the end of the year, you can go back to the beginning of your diary and see how much has changed! If you don't know what to write about, try to answer some general questions, such as what you are doing or feeling at this exact moment. Alternatively, you can have a box filled with slips of paper that have words and writing prompts written on them. When you don't know what to write about, pick a slip of paper from the box.  You can find all sorts of writing prompts online. Writing your observations about the world and people around you are a great way to beat writer's block. If you can, try writing at the same time each day as well. This can be a precise time, such as 9:00PM or an arbitrary time, such as "after dinner" or "when you wake up." Some people are afraid of writing in a pretty journal because they don't want to "ruin" it. If you are one of these people, you might feel better about writing in a cheap, plain notebook. Once you get comfortable writing in one, you can move on to fancier, more expensive ones. A planner can make a...


Make the form match the function. Draw concept maps to connect main ideas and prioritize information. Use comparison charts to highlight the differences in key concepts. Use flash cards or concept cards to memorize vocabulary. Write your own sample test to study. Study multiple study guides.

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

There are many different types of study guides, each formatted to suit different subject types and learning styles. Whatever you're reviewing for, there's a study guide not only right for the subject but for your particular needs in learning that subject. Organize the information into the most user-friendly study guide you can.   If you're a visual learner, consider using color-coded sections in your study guides or using idea mapping to draw out the information and make it more quickly-accessible.   If you've got a linear mind, organize the information chronologically, or alphabetically, so you can make learn one thing in a series, and then move on to the next.   If you need to connect to information emotionally to understand it, organize your notes into narrative form to study it better. Translate concepts from math into a story that you can connect to, then organize your study-guide like a short-story you can recite to remember the application of the formulas.  If you can memorize information quickly, use a format that will help you memorize efficiently, whether it be recording yourself reciting vocab words and definitions, then listening back on your iPod throughout the day, or by creating flash cards and testing yourself regularly. Concept maps involve writing each main idea into a separate box, which is connected according to their chronology or importance. Then, connect branches of associated information stemming from the main ideas. This study guide method provides a good visual of how subject material fits together to make a whole concept.  An example of a concept map for a history chapter on space flight might involve "The Space Race" as the main heading, which would branch off into separate categories for The United States and the Soviet Union, with trailing data about specific missions, projects, successes, and failures. A formal outline, as you're sometimes expected to write for an essay assignment, is an example of a concept map. If outlining works for you and organizes information in a way you...


Make the forms you need to use for the concrete bricks. Assemble the forms with the two 48 inch (1.2 m) pieces laid parallel. Use a spray can of form release oil to aid in stripping the forms after pouring the concrete into the brick molds.

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

This requires basic carpenter tools and a sheet of .75-inch (19 mm) plywood along with 2 x 4-inch (5.1 x 10.2 cm) by 8 feet (2.4 m) lumber. Use 9 x 4 x 3.5 inches (22.9 x 10.2 x 8.9 cm) for your brick dimensions.  Rip the sheet of 3/4 inch plywood down to 12-inch (30.5 cm) wide x 48-inch (1.2 m) long strips. This will give you 8 bricks per strip, and the entire sheet of plywood will give you a total of 64 bricks. Cut the side forms down to 2 x 4 inches (5.1 x 10.2 cm). You will need 2 pieces at 48 inches (1.2 m) long for each strip. There will be 9 pieces, 9 inches (22.9 cm) in length. Begin nailing the 9-inch (22.9 cm) pieces between the two 48-inch (1.2 M) strips using either double-headed 16 penny concrete form nails or 3-inch (7.65 cm) deck screws. When finished, you should have 8 spaces 4 inches (5.1cm) wide, 9 inches (22.9 cm) long, and 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) deep.  Lay the strips of plywood on a flat level area and spread plastic sheeting over it to keep the concrete from bonding with the plastic. The work area will need to be left undisturbed for at least 24 hours. Place the assembled side form on top of the .75-inch (19 cm) plastic covered plywood strip. Either nail the side forms to the plywood or drive wooden stakes around the sides of the forms to keep the forms from shifting off of the plywood bottom strips. You can use screws for easier removal, if desired. Take care not to stain any concrete bricks.


Make the fridge easy to open for your dog. Teach your dog to notice the towel or rope. Praise your dog for biting the towel or rope. Train your dog to pull on the towel or rope. Reward your dog for opening the door.

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

Although your dog will likely get into anything you leave out, you probably take for granted the fact he can't get into the refrigerator. To make it easier for him, hang something from the handle of the refrigerator door. A rope with a thick knot on the end works particularly well for this, but a towel will work too. Just make sure it is properly secured to the handle. If you decide to use an old rope or towel (i.e., something you don't mind ruining), check the integrity of the threads. If strands come off or it rips with little effort, find something newer. The fibers and dust will distract your dog and may be harmful to his health. Hanging a towel or rope won't usually inspire your dog to start opening the door. If you are lucky, he will at least investigate the new door accessory. If you want to draw his attention to the towel or rope, point at it with your finger. When he pays the towel or rope any attention, click your [[Clicker Train Your Dog|clicker] and give him a reward. First, click and reward when he looks at the towel or rope. Second, make him touch the rope with their nose before clicking and rewarding. This is the first part of shaping your dog's behavior into the acceptable form. Once he knows paying attention to the towel or rope is an avenue for rewards he will expect them. Now, you want to start training your dog to open the door on command. While standing near the refrigerator (i.e., close enough to point and touch the towel or rope), use a command such as "Open the fridge". Click and reward when he successfully bites the towel or rope. Your dog may not initially understand the new command. He has been getting rewards without it so far. First, click and reward when he touches the towel or rope. Second, stop clicking and rewarding for just touching the rope. He will get aggravated and naturally bite the rope. Any motion to bite the rope should get a click and reward (e.g., touching it with his teeth or licking it). Don't move on until he actually bites the rope or towel. Once your dog knows...


Make the frosting. Get the layers ready. Frost the layers. Frost the assembled cake. Decorate the cake.

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

In a large mixing bowl, beat the powdered sugar, butter, cream, and vanilla on high, until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. If it seems too soft, add more powdered sugar until it becomes thicker and stiffer. Use a serrated knife to slice a thin layer from the top of each layer of the cake. Slicing off the slightly rounded tops that puffed up during the baking process will help the layers stack together neatly. Place the purple layer on the cake stand or plate that you'll be using to serve the cake. Use an offset spatula or icing knife to scoop a small amount of frosting onto the center of the cake. Spread it evenly across the surface of the purple layer, all the way to the edges. Add the blue cake to the stack and frost it using the same method. Repeat with the green, yellow, and orange layers, finishing with the red layer on top.  There's no need to use a scientific color order - create a rainbow using any color order you'd like. Be sure to conserve enough frosting to finish by frosting the entire cake, rather than using most of it up between layers. Scoop frosting onto the top of the cake and spread it evenly to the edges. Use more frosting to cover the sides of the cake. Be sure to use plenty, so that the layers beneath are invisible. The brightly-colored interior of the cake will remain a surprise until the first slice is cut. Finish the cake with rainbow sprinkles or nonpareils, or use a contrasting frosting color to pipe a message across its surface.


Make the furniture less appealing. Line furniture with tinfoil. Try double-sided sticky tape. Use a spray. Lay plastic floor mats over furniture. Use a motion-activated noisemaker. Create built-in punishment.

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

Cats are drawn to furniture for a variety of reasons. A cat may jump on a couch near a window or get on a kitchen counter in search of food. Make your furniture less appealing by eliminating the built-in rewards cats seek by climbing on furniture.  Keep blinds closed if you have furniture near windows. This way, cats will not be drawn to furniture to sunbathe or look out windows. Remove any excess padding from furniture when it's not in use. For example, after you get done lounging on your couch to watch a movie, remove any blankets or pillows you used. Keep surfaces in the kitchen free of food and other debris that cats will be drawn towards. Cats dislike slippery surfaces. When not in use, line furniture with tinfoil. This will deter your cat from jumping up on the furniture as they will dislike sliding around. This tends to work best with small bits of furniture, such as coffee tables. For non-fabric surfaces, place double-sided sticky tape in stripes or criss-cross patterns on things like coffee tables, mantels, and kitchen counters. If your cat finds their feet get sticky after jumping on a piece of furniture, they're more likely to stay off that furniture. Do not place double-sided sticky tape on leather furniture. It will leave residue behind that's difficult to get off. Repellent sprays often work great for fabric surfaces. If you want your cat off a couch or a chair, spray that surface down with a commercial cat repellent spray. Commercial sprays will not harm cats, but will contain oils and other scents that repel them from furniture. Follow the directions on a spray bottle closely and apply it to your furniture to keep cats down. Always test a spray on a small, unnoticeable patch of furniture first. Make sure it does not cause any damage or discoloration to the surface before applying it all over your furniture. Plastic floor mats can be turned upside down and laid over furniture when it's not in use. Floor mats have small knobs on the bottoms that irritate a cat's feet. These knobs will not harm...


Make the game more interesting by adding new rules. Introduce splits into the game. Add the "game of five.

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

Once you master the basic rules and can add speed, create new challenges. There are several name variations for the rules, but they remain the same even though this game is played internationally. When it's your turn, you can tap your own two hands together to redistribute the number of fingers you have extended. For example, if you have one hand with three fingers and one hand with just one finger and you split them, you can put two fingers on each hand.  The goal of this strategy is to prevent one of your hands from reaching five fingers and becoming dead. Splits don't have to be even, but it's preferable. Some odd number combinations merely means swapping fingers between hands with no strategic bonus. However, if you have a combination such as four fingers and one finger on each hand, you can split that into a hand of three and a hand of two. A player can "revive" a dead hand by splitting. If you have one hand dead and one alive with four fingers, you can split and put two fingers on each hand to bring your dead hand back into the game. A variation on the splits rule is the "house rule." This rule either means that splits are not allowed or that splits are allowed but can't bring a hand back from the dead. " A hand must be tapped to equal exactly five fingers. For example, if your opponent has 3 fingers, you can only tap them with a hand with 1 or 2 fingers. You would not be able to tap their hand if yours has 3 or 4 fingers because that would create a sum of more than 5 fingers on the tapped hand.  This rule is also known as "exact play." This rule allows for the possibility of stalemate if both players have two hands of four points


Make the last day before your vacation a low-key day, set aside to fix any mistakes. Let your coworkers know you'll be gone. Do some extra work before you go. Plan half-days if you can, to avoid having to miss a full day of work. Give yourself a pre-vacation, so that you're ready to totally unplug while you're away. Delegate tasks to other people.

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

Don't finish major projects on your last day. If you have last-minute problems, then you'll be able to take care of them before you go on vacation. You don't want to inhibit the work of others, cut into your vacation, or leave anything unfinished when  you go. If it is not possible to finish a project, write up a plan for how you intend to work on the project upon your return. You may have put in the proper paperwork, formally requesting time off, but your co-workers might not know that you're leaving. By letting them know you're going on vacation, you give them a chance to coordinate with you. They might have something they need you to do, and by letting them know ahead of time, you avoid tying up the work of others. If you work a little harder before you go on vacation, you can get ahead of yourself. That way you won't have more to do when you get back. If you do a lot of work before you go, you might even be able to give yourself an easy first week back. If you're leaving for vacation on a Friday, don't take the whole day off if you don't have to. It might be a little bit of extra hassle to work half a day and then travel, but it can lighten the load when you get back. This will help you to fully make use of your time off. It will also enhance your anticipation, which can increase vacation satisfaction. The last thing you want is to go on vacation, but feel like you can't help but think of work. It is hard to break the habit of thinking about what you have to do all the time, but if you don't give your brain a break, you won't get the benefit of the time off.  Take a day to turn off your electronics. This can get you ready to disconnect for your time off. Go to a day spa, to prepare yourself to relax. Schedule a weekend where you can practice not thinking about work. Sometimes people feel that they are the only ones who can do their job. Sometimes people feel they have to do everything themselves. When you're going on vacation it may be necessary to let go of this mentality. Give some tasks that you might...


Make the lemonade.

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

Combine the water, sugar, and lemon juice. It may be necessary to bring the water to a boil first, to get all the sugar to dissolve.


Make the pattern. Cut the pattern out. Trace the pattern onto your fabric. Cut the tracing out. Sew the pieces together. Hem the top and bottom edges. Hem the thumb holes by hand. Turn the gloves inside out.

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

Trace around your palm, wrist, and arm on a sheet of paper. Start tracing at the top of your knuckles, and finish anywhere you want on the arm. Lift away your arm. Connect the gap at the top of your tracing with a straight line. Connect the gap where your thumb is with a curved line.  Make sure that the thumb line curves into the tracing. Leave some space around your arm, especially if the fabric you'll be using is not stretchy. Be sure to leave a ½-inch (1.27-centimeter) gap allowance all around the pattern. This will give you enough fabric for a ¼ to ½-inch (0.64 to 1.27-centimeter) seam allowance. Stack two layers of fabric, right sides together, then pin the pattern on top. Trace around the pattern. Flip the pattern over, re-pin it, and trace around it for the other glove. You can use any type of fabric you want. Fleece and t-shirt material are great choices because they don't fray. Try to cut through both layers of fabric for each glove. This way, your pieces will be even. You do not need to add seam allowances because you already added them for your original pattern. Pin the pieces together first. Sew up the left and right sides using a ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter) seam allowance. If your fabric is stretchy, or if you want tighter gloves, sew using a ½-inch (1.27-centimeter) seam allowance instead. Do not sew across the top or bottom edges or the thumb hole. If you are sewing fleece or t-shirt material, use a stretchy stitch or a zigzag stitch. Fold both of the top and bottom edges down by ½ inch (1.27 centimeters). Pin them in place, then sew the hems down. You can use a matching thread color or a contrasting thread color. If you are using fleece or t-shirt fabric, you can skip this step. If you choose to hem them, use a stretch stitch or a zigzag stitch. Fold the edges of the thumb hole down by about ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter). Sew it down by hand using a running stitch. You can use a matching thread color or a contrasting one. If you are using fleece or t-shirt fabric, you can skip this step. They are now...


Make the piping gel. Give the cake a crumb coat. Frost the cake. Add the lava. Activate the dry ice right before serving.

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

Piping gel is often used as an edible glue for baking, but in this recipe, it will be used to create the lava for the volcano. In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and water until there are no lumps. When the mixture is smooth, whisk in the corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring regularly. Boil the gel for two to three minutes, and the mixture will take on the consistency of gel.  Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in 10 drops of red gel food coloring. If necessary, whisk in another 10 drops, until the gel is a deep and bright red. Set the gel aside to cool. Use the frosting knife to cover the entire outside of the cake with a generous layer of frosting. Spread the frosting in an even layer, and smooth it down with the knife. Place the cake in the fridge for about an hour to let the frosting set. This crumb coat will trap any crumbs, and make the final layer of frosting smooth and even. When the crumb coat has had time to set, remove the cake from the fridge. Apply a second layer of frosting to the cake, making sure it’s evenly distributed over the whole cake. Because it’s a volcano cake, you don’t actually have to worry about the frosting being smooth. To give the volcano some definition, use the butt end of a knife to carve some vertical curved lines into the frosting. This will replicate the jagged and uneven lines of rocks. Pour the red piping gel into the hole in the center of the top cake. If the reservoir fills up, let the excess run down over the outside of the volcano like lava. If there isn't enough gel to fill the reservoir, use a spoon to drizzle extra lava over the sides. Just before serving the cake, use tongs to fill the shot glass half full with dry ice. Place the shot glass into the center of the lava reservoir. Pour in enough hot water to make the dry ice create smoke. For an extra fiery effect, use sparklers instead of candles on the volcano cake.


Make the pupusa dough. Let the dough rest. Roll the dough into balls. Fill the pupusas. Form the filled balls into disks. Cook the pupusas. Serve the pupusas.

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

Mix the masa harina, salt, and flour in a bowl. Stir it together till it forms a paste-like dough. It should be smooth, not lumpy. If it's still too lumpy after stirring, add one teaspoon of water at a time and stir out the lumps till it's smooth. If it's too wet or sticky, add one teaspoon of masa harina at a time, stirring until it thickens and smooths out. Leave your dough in the bowl and cover the bowl with a towel. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Divide your dough into 8 balls, about 2 inches wide. It helps to lightly oil your hands before doing this. This will keep the dough from sticking to your hands. Take a ball of dough and press your thumb into the center. There should be a little indentation. Place 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of white cheese into the indentation and cover the dough over it. Do this will all the other dough balls. The cheese should be completely sealed into the pupusa. Otherwise, it will leak out when you fry it. Flatten the filled ball between your palms. The pupusa should become circular and flat, about 1/4-inch thick. Don't squeeze or roll too much or the filling may leak out. Heat a frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add just a few tablespoons of oil to lightly coat the pan. Add the pupusas and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes. Then flip and cook them for 2 to 3 more minutes. The pupusas should look golden in color when they're finished cooking. Serve the pupusas while they're still warm. Top with curtido and any sauces you like.


Make the room as dark as possible. Keep the room cool, between 16-19° C (60-67° F). Eliminate sound pollution. Practice breathing techniques that promote relaxation. Write down anything that is bothering you. Eat a small snack, like a slice of bread.

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

Pick a good sleeping position. Light suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone your brain secretes to make you sleepy. Eliminating as much light as possible can boost melatonin production and help you get to sleep.  Draw your blinds or curtains to block out any street lights. If it's still too bright you can wear a sleep mask (or even drape a t-shirt over your eyes if you don't have one). Just like animals going into hibernation, our body temperature lowers as we fall asleep. A cool environment can help ease your body into a state that is optimal for slumber.  If you have control of your thermostat, make sure you adjust the temperature at night to a comfortable, cool setting. If you don't have air conditioning, or if you share a house or apartment and can't adjust the temperature of your room, try cracking a window or using fans to lower the temperature if it's too hot. If it's too cold you can use a hot water bottle, heating pad, or an extra blanket to warm things up. Traffic, rowdy neighbors, snoring partners and barking dogs are just a few of the things outside of your control that may keep you awake. Combat distracting sounds by blocking them out with earplugs or drowning them out with another, more calming sound.  Turn on a fan, turn on a sound machine, or tune your radio between stations to create white noise, a steady, monotonous sound that can effectively mask the noises that stimulate our brains and disturb our sleep. If you don't have a fan or sound machine, there are many phone apps you can download with sounds like waterfalls, thunderstorms, or ocean waves to lull you to sleep. Breathing deeply is a simple, quick way to calm your body and soothe anxiety. Inhale deeply through your nose an exhale through your mouth. If you find you are having obsessive, circular, or anxious thoughts, try getting them down on paper. Eating before bed can affect people in different ways, but if you find yourself kept awake by gnawing hunger, it's probably better to have a snack.  Foods containing...


Make the rooms your pets will be confined in feel familiar. Provide food and water for your pet. Move your pet to the prepared room. Prepare yourself mentally and try to relax. Stay with your pet, or at least check on it regularly. Consider using lavender plants or spray for a calming scent.

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

Put down familiar, clean bedding and  something that smells of you, such as a t-shirt you’ve worn. Give them their favorite chew toys, scratch pads, balls, or other toys to keep your pets distracted. Ensure that the room temperature is comfortable: make it warm in cold weather, or cool in hot weather. Be sure to leave sufficient water and food for your pet in the confinement space. If your pet has access to water and its regular food, it will be calmer.  Consider buying a special treat, such as wet food or small sausages, to make it feel more comfortable during the fireworks. Chewing can help to relieve stress for dogs that like to chew. Make sure that your dog has an appropriate chew toy or bone if it likes to chew to calm itself. If you're worried about not being able to find your pet, consider looking for it a few hours before the fireworks are set to start. Mealtime is a good time to round up your pets. If your dog needs a walk, be sure to walk it before confining it in the room.  Even if your pet is caged, you should still keep it in the secure and comfortable room you've selected. If your pet is a horse or other farm animal, make sure it has clean bedding and is safely inside the stable or barn. It's possible to transfer some of your anxiety and worry to your pet, so it's important to remain calm so you don't inadvertently stress your pet out. If you've prepared properly in advance, there is no need to feel worried as you have done all you can to make the experience as easy as possible for it. Comfort it and talk to it. Be friendly and stay happy and upbeat, as pets can read emotions better than you think. If it's not possible to stay with it—you may be at the fireworks display yourself—just make sure you do everything you can for its comfort while you are gone.  Act how you normally would when you visit your pet. Treating it any differently than you normally do may make it feel more anxious. Allow your pet to hide somewhere in the room. It's common for pets to cope with these experiences by using a...


Make the rules about drug use at work clear. Consider creating a drug testing program. Make consequences clear. Educate your employees about the signs of drug abuse. Teach stress management.

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

If you are a supervisor or owner of an organization, you should take steps to make your workplace drug free. Create rules and regulations that are discussed with each employee. This way, when you do have a situation with an employee, you have clear steps in place to deal with the issue. One issue to think about is whether your workplace will engage in drug testing to be sure that employees are drug-free. These rules should be clearly stated and should include information about:  How employees will be terminated if they are caught with drugs in the office. How employees are not allowed to drink or smoke anywhere on the premise, unless at a company function that allows for those substances to be consumed. How employees will be terminated if they come to work while under the influence. One way to ensure that you office is a drug-free workplace is to set up random drug tests. When a person is hired at your company, alert them to the fact that random drug tests can occur and that they will be asked to leave the company if any illegal drugs are found in their system. Wait a few weeks before enacting this rule. This time will allow any current drug users to amend their ways and seek help if needed. The consequences of abusing drugs must be made clear to all employees and should be implemented without exception. Of course, the punishments will vary, depending on your company, demands, environment, etc. Try to create consequences that are fair but serious.  For instance, you may ask a person to resign as a harsh consequences of drug abuse. On the other hand, you may choose to cut a person’s salary if they are found with drugs. To help keep your work environment safe, teach your employees how to recognize the signs that someone is abusing drugs. You could run seminars for your employees, or hang up signs with the major signs that may mean that someone is abusing drugs. Stress is one reason that may lead someone to begin to abuse drugs. Because of this, it is important to teach your employees stress management as a way...


Make the rumor hard to disprove. Keep your accomplices to a minimum. Don't let the rumor lead back to you.

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

Don't make up a story that can easily be disproven or the rumor will die quickly. If the story can't be discredited with proof, it will have a better chance at spreading. As an example, if you say someone lost an arm in a car accident, the rumor won't hold up very long when the person is seen with both their arms intact. However, if you start a rumor that someone hit a homeless person with their car, it may be very difficult to prove as a lie. You may need an accomplice or two at times, but keep the circle small. The more people that are in on the rumor, the more likely it is one of them will confess the truth. Only involve people that you know can keep a secret. Sometimes it can be very hard to never take credit for masterminding a successful rumor. The best way is first tell the rumor to a friend you trust. Tell the friend if they tell the rumor to anyone else to say they did not hear it from you because you promised to keep it a secret. If for some reason the rumor comes back to you, your best bet is just to deny it since there is no proof anyway.


Make the sauce. Heat the oil. Make the batter. Place the pickles on paper towels and pat them dry. Add half the pickles to the batter. Add the pickles to the oil. Fry them until they're golden brown. Remove them from the heat. Repeat the process with the rest of the pickles and batter. Serve.

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

To make the sauce, just mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp. drained horseradish, 2 tsp. ketchup, and 1/4 tsp. Cajun seasoning together in a medium-sized bowl. Stir the ingredients until you've created a rich and creamy mixture. Heat 1 inch (2.5 cm) of vegetable oil until the oil and place the pickles in the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375°F (190°C). To make the batter, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 tsp. Cajun seasoning, 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 cup water until you've mixed the ingredients together well. They should be dry before you fry them for best results. Toss them to really coat them in the batter. To do this, take them out from the batter using a slotted spoon, one at a time, which will let the excess batter drip off. Add them to the oil one at a time. This should take 1-2 minutes. Remove the pickles from the pan with the same slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain them.  Once the pickles are ready, serve them with the sauce you've made. You can also serve them with a few celery sticks.


Make the seed stitch by alternating knit and purl stitches.

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

If you'd like to try a pattern that's slightly more challenging and has great texture, work on a seed stitch. Cast on an even number of stitches. Then, knit the first stitch and purl the following stitch. Continue to knit 1 and purl 1 all across the row. Turn your work and knit 1, purl 1, across the entire row. Keep working until you've made as many rows as you like. If you're using a British knitting pattern, the seed stitch is the same as the moss stitch.


Make the skirt. Pin the skirt to the bottom of the shirt. Add 4 pleats to the top of your skirt, placing 2 in front and 2 in back. Sew the skirt to the shirt. Add the zipper.

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

Sew the bedsheet and lining fabric together along the bottom edge of the skirt (the wider part of the semicircle) with the bed sheet fabric facing inward. Remove the pins and flip the skirt inside out. Unpin the bottom 2 pins from the zipper so you can match the edges of the skirt to the edges of the shirt. Sometimes there will be some excess skirt material, so simply cut the excess fabric off of the skirt. Make sure the pleats are small so they don't make the flow of the skirt look boxy.  Make sure the pleats are evenly spaced around the skirt. User your vinyl tape measure to double-check. Grasp the fabric and fold it over to the right as though you were starting to make a fan. Pin the folded section of fabric down so that it will stay in position. Iron the pleat to make it precise. Sew the pleats using downward stitches. Stop at the point where you want the skirt to twirl freely. Make sure that the dress is folded inside-out to make your seam less visible. Sew the back seam of the skirt up to 1/4" (6 mm) above where the end of the zipper would fall.  Pin the zipper's final few inches down the back of the skirt, and sew it into place.


Make the spice rub. Season the steak. Remove the steak from the fridge before cooking.

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

Combine the salt, coriander, peppercorns, and thyme in a spice grinder or pestle and mortar. Grind the spices to a fine powder. Transfer the ground spices to a small bowl and add in the sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use a spoon or your finger to mix all the spices together until combined. Pour half the spice mix over the top of the steak and use your fingers to spread the spices around and massage them into the meat. Flip the steak over and repeat on the other side. Transfer the steak to a plate and put it in the refrigerator to marinate in the spice mix for three to four hours. Once the steak has been marinating for two to three hours, you can start preparing the grill. While the charcoal or wood is heating up, take the steak out of the fridge and let it warm up on the counter. Once the grill is ready, the steak will be at room temperature and ready to go on the grill immediately.
