Know that chrome can have a number of negative impacts on your health. Set up your work space in an adequately ventilated area. Wear long pants and long sleeves, in addition to an apron. Put on gloves and closed toed shoes to ensure the safety of your hands and feet. Wear goggles, a shield or another protective device to prevent eye exposure. Use a proper face mask to avoid all respiratory issues and internal tissue irritation.

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

Depending on whether it is inhaled or absorbed through the skin, Chromium can cause irritation to the throat, nose, skin, and eyes, with the possibility of eye damage. It can create symptoms similar to influenza, asthma, and allergies, as well as the possibility of lung cancer with airborne contact. In addition to chrome, any primer you use likely has the potential to cause not only the same issues above, but also have chronic negative effects on the liver, cardiovascular, reproductive, and urinary systems. This will decrease the likelihood of any sickness via inhalation of hazardous materials. More often than not, repair work like this is performed on a garage. This allows fresh air to enter easily and replace any fumes, dusts, or vapors that could bring you harm. Keeping your paints and primers closed in their containers while not in use will help maintain a clean atmosphere and limit your exposure to hazardous chemicals. This should protect your skin from any contact with the chromium and/or primer. Another option is coveralls. A favorite of those who work in metal shops and auto repair, these are the onesies of safety and provide ample coverage of your appendages and torso. Since you will be working with corrosive substances, gloves made of thin plastic will not suffice. It is therefore recommended to use gloves made of P.V.C, rubber, or neoprene. As for footwear, there are a number of chemical resistant shoes available online. However, since you will not be handling any of the materials with your feet, it's really most important to just find something that completely covers your skin. If you choose to use an electric sander, this will guard the soft tissue of your eye from any flying debris. It will also block any splashes of paint, primer, and fumes wafting from these substances. Although it is common to simply wear glasses that rest on the ears, it is advisable to use goggles while working with chemicals. This way you have a tight film around the entire eye, and gaseous particles cannot cause you any...


Know that communicating about sexuality can be difficult. Be open with each other. Talk about where you stand on monogamy. Set boundaries. Determine what you both want to share with family and friends.

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

Both of you may find it difficult to have a conversation about sexuality. For your husband, this might be the first time he’s talked about his bisexuality. He may have been anxious and worried about you finding out, about keeping his feelings a secret, or about what other people will think.  As for you, you may undergo worries and anxieties of your own, including feelings of inadequacy, concern about your relationship, or concern for how your family might react. Being patient and understanding with each other is the best starting place for a conversation. Know that you love each other and want each other to be happy. For your relationship to work, you need to communicate honestly with each other. Set aside time every day or every week when the two of you can talk without being interrupted. Talk about your concerns in an open yet supportive way. This might include asking if and when your husband is making connections with other partners. Being bisexual doesn’t mean that your husband will automatically cheat on you. But if he is going to be with other partners, you two should be open about that. Lies and deception are not a good foundation for any marriage. When one partner is bisexual, the other partner may worry that the husband will be unfaithful. If your husband wants to be non-monogamous, and you agree to it, then support him in that. Many bisexual partners are in long-term monogamous relationships. Determine what you want for your relationship. Determine what you want in your relationship. This may involve setting some ground rules about other partners, or sexual activity that you’re both willing to participate in. Are you okay with your husband being with one other partner, or are multiple partners okay?  How much do you want to be involved? As you and your husband begin to understand life together in this new phase, you may choose to share some of this information with family and friends. If you have children, think about how you’ll talk with them about bisexuality. Remember that when you “come out” to...


Know that formal business attire is tailored, conservative clothing. Pick your strong suit. Choose the right tops. Choose your ties carefully, men. Say yes to the dress, ladies! Choose the right shoes for the job. Sock it to them. Women, wear your nylons. Add other accessories.

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

Although fashion changes the little details, the essential core of formal office attire has really not changed much in decades. Dressing business formal is in some ways easier than in business casual, because the parameters are a lot narrower and well-defined. Both genders are typically expected to wear suits, typically in neutral colors (as described above). In general, men and women wear the following:  For men: Formal suit, dress shirt, dress shoes, tie. Sometimes dressy slacks and sport coat are acceptable alternatives for a business suit. Often a shirt without an outer garment is acceptable. For women: business suit with skirt, blazer, blouse, dress shoes. Pants are also acceptable. A conservative dress may be substituted for a suit. Suits should be tailored for fit. Solid colors or pinstripes, and in good condition. Skirt suits should be knee-length and not too tight. Shirts should be typically solid or pinstriped, tailored for fit, laundered, and ironed if required.  Long sleeves are always more formal. Short sleeves are typically acceptable for spring and summer. However, some workplaces and cultures frown on bare arms. Women typically should steer away from sleeveless shirts if unsure if they are accepted or not. In some regions sleeveless shirts (but not one with straps, such as halter tops) are considered perfectly acceptable. In others, they are not considered appropriate. Tank tops, camisoles, tube tops, strapless tops amd  "spaghetti strap" tops are not office formal clothing. Men should match shirt to tie. Women have to be extra careful in the cut and fit of office tops. Put bluntly, (especially for full-figured women) the bustline must be fitted properly so that it is not too revealing, too tight, or otherwise exposing more of the breasts so it is inappropriate. If your blouse gaps at the buttons of the bustline, the shirt does not fit you properly. Fabric or "fashion" tapes can be purchased to hold blouses in the right position. Ties can allow for some color and pattern in an outfit that...


Know that grief is natural. Let your feelings out. Find the positives in life and focus on them. Express your emotions in art or writing. Take care of your body physically. Find a support group for your trauma. Manage your pain on your own time.

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

Don't feel upset at yourself for being sad or angry. Grief is the natural process of dealing with trauma, and it may take some time to feel "normal" again.  Common, emotions and symptoms of grief include:  Shock or emotional numbness Regret Depression Anger Don't feel "weak" because you want to cry. In order to come to terms with your emotions, you need to acknowledge them. Find a friend or family member to talk to, write down your feelings, or see a professional therapist to help move the coping process along.  Don't feel like you need to grieve in a certain way. This process is personal and you should accept the feelings and expressions that feel right to you. It is all too easy to let negative emotions overwhelm us and drown out the wonderful parts of life. Find things you enjoy doing and do them -- pick up an old hobby, chat with friends, cook your favorite meal -- finding the positive makes it easier to cope with hurtful feelings or emotions. Many studies show that our mindset while coping with grief profoundly affects how we feel 1-2 years later, so positive feelings now will help you stay positive in the future. Even if you only jot your thoughts down in a journal, finding a way to express your thoughts helps you to face them head on. By writing or forming your thoughts through art, you make them tangible and easier to manage. Music therapy, which is therapy done by listening to calming music or by playing an instrument, has been shown to take your mind off of pain and help you cope. There is a strong correlation between our physical and mental health, and taking care of one will benefit the other. Eat well, exercise, and get enough sleep, especially when you feel sluggish or unwilling to move. Talking to people who understand your pain is a valuable tool to learn about your feelings and cope with your specific issues. Know that you are not alone in your pain. A simple internet search for "Support Groups" in your area can help you find a group nearby. The US Health Department has a detailed list of...


Know that it's okay to say nothing. Don't talk to the person. Ignore phone calls and messages. Ignore advances. Avoid the person's routes. Skip the emotion.

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

In some situations, words are not needed and even not appreciated. Especially if you may say something that either may not be helpful or make the situation worse, keep your words to yourself. You can avoid hurting someone’s feelings by simply not saying anything at all.  While silence may be beneficial in the moment, do make a point to address the issue at a later time, especially if it’s something that has hurt you or offended you. The silence is a temporary approach that shouldn’t be prolonged. Don't let anyone bully you into speaking if you choose not to speak. However, it can be beneficial to state that you are choosing to remain silent. Say, "I'm having a hard time controlling my emotions right now, and for that reason I'm choosing to stay silent. Let's talk about this later when we're both more calm." Sometimes, it's not a good idea to use the silent treatment in a relationship. If you’re using silence to punish someone or manipulate behaviors, it ultimately prolongs and does not resolve the issue. The primary characteristic of the silent treatment is not talking to the person. Basically, you don't say anything, not even if the person tries to engage you in conversation. You actively choose not to respond to any comments, discussions, or accusations.  If the person keeps engaging, simply tell him you are not willing to engage at this time. Say, “This isn’t something I want to talk about at this moment” or “I’m not in an emotional space to talk about this constructively. Let’s talk later.” Be aware that silence can anger someone, and this person may begin to demand a response, or escalate his or her actions to protest your silence. Another form of silent treatment is ignoring other types of communication, such as phone calls, emails, messages, and text messages. If you are giving someone the silent treatment, it can be effective to ignore these forms of communication, as well. Again, you can alert this person to your silence. Say, “This isn’t a good time to talk. Let’s revisit this in the future.” This...


Know that lowering your total waste output is even better than recycling. Donate or reuse old clothing instead of sending it to a landfill. Rinse and reuse lightly-soiled plastic bags and containers. Prioritize reusable products over one-time containers. Buy recycled products over non-recycled versions whenever possible.

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

Whenever you can get multiple uses out of an object, you're greatly diminishing the wasteful manufacture of new products. While recycling is better for the planet than trash, the best thing to do is not to throw things out at all. Instead, try to find ways to reuse things around the house. Wikihow has a large list of ideas to get you started:  How to reuse Styrofoam How to reuse balloons How to reuse paint rollers How to reuse old DVDs and CDs  How to reuse old newspapers and How to reuse paper  How to reuse old school supplies How to reuse old candles How to reuse junk materials How to compost Clothes should only be thrown out as a last resort, when they can no longer be used or worn by anyone. Turn old shirts into cleaning rags, cut up nice sweaters and pillowcases for a quilt, and hand down clothes that don't fit you to younger relatives. Clothing is one of the most frequently, and unnecessarily, wasted products on the planet.  Clothes you have no use for should be donated to the Salvation Army, Goodwill, and local charity drives. Unsure where to bring your clothes? Check out the non-profit Wear Don't Recycle for ideas on reuse and donation centers near you. Don't just toss the takeout package into the recycling when done -- use it to pack up lunch for the next day at work. If a snack bag had nothing but some pretzels in it, give it a quick rinse and use it the next day as well. These tips not only save the planet, they help you to save money. Instead of buying a water bottle every day, bring your own and fill it up. Bring your own travel mug to the coffee shop instead of taking a new Styrofoam cup each day. Use washable dish towels, cloth napkins, and rags instead of paper products. Whenever possible, make an effort to not even create the trash in the first place. Help the recycling industry to flourish by preferring the products that come out of it. Some commonly recycled products you can purchase include:  Recycled paper. Select the brands with the highest post-consumer waste (PCW) content, which refers...


Know that most home remedies are ineffective at removing lice. Comb out pubic hair with a fine toothed comb. Apply petroleum jelly 2-3 times a day. Use calamine lotion for itch relief.

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

While there are steps you can take to remove lice at home, most medical professionals at the CDC and National Health Service believe that medication is the only way to truly remove lice. That said, the following steps can control lice and relieve itching. A specialized nit-comb, bought at any pharmacy, is made to remove lice. Comb your hair, starting at the base of the hair and combing all the way up, to physically remove lice. Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) can prevent lice from gripping your hair and make it easier to comb out. The jelly smothers the bugs, suffocating them. After applying the jelly, use a fine-toothed comb to try to remove the lice. Make sure the jelly covers the hair from the base to the tip. Calamine may also help smother lice, killing them when it dries. More importantly, calamine relieves itching, which may prevent you from scratching  your skin and creating an infection. Apply the lotion 2-3 times a day.


Know that owning physical silver is probably more useful than owning a non-physical security certificate. Use silver as a hedge. Don't buy on hope or sell on fear. Remember that the silver market is very volatile.

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

Physical silver -- coins, bars, bullion or rounds -- is widely used both as currency and in industrial manufacturing. This makes physical sliver more versatile than "paper" silver, though not necessarily as liquid. If you're planning on investing in silver, consider starting with the physical metal before venturing into other more-complex forms of ownership. In a time of economic uncertainty and slow growth, silver is an excellent hedge. A hedge is a strategy that reduces your risk of losses when the market fluctuates, usually by investing in an offsetting position. Silver is a good hedge against currency inflation. That's because if the value of currency drops, precious metals like silver and gold remain relatively stable or even increase in value. Many buyers of silver and gold approach such an investment from the wrong angle: they buy when they notice the price going up (since the "value" is increasing), and they sell when they notice the price going down (when the "value" is diminishing). This is a classic violation  of  the first principle of investing — buy low and sell high.  Think of things the other way around. Instead of buying when everyone else is confident, and the price of silver is high, buy when everyone else is worried, and the price of silver has dropped. Instead of buying when prices are high, that's the time to be selling. Instead of selling when prices are low, that's the time to be buying. Although this is an emotionally difficult path to tread, it's the best way to make money over time. Take a look at a historical graph of silver prices. Over the last few decades the price of silver has periodically fallen to about $5 an ounce.  If you can afford to wait until silver falls to that level again, invest in it at that time. When economic times are uncertain and the price of silver goes up, unload your silver for a hefty profit, or keep it as a hedge against currency depreciation. If you're not ready for a rollercoaster ride when you buy silver, perhaps it isn't the right investment for you....


Know that people with martyr syndrome suffer mostly by choice. Recognize martyr syndrome in someone who you suspect is dealing with an abusive relationship. Note any role model that the person has. Take note if the person often complains that their selflessness goes unacknowledged. Understand that people the person will have a hard time letting the person they ‘sacrificed for’ live their own lives. Note that the person will always talk highly of themselves. Notice if the person expects everyone to shower them with sympathy. Be aware that the person will refuse assistance. Know that the person will demand displays of love and respect.

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

When someone has martyr syndrome, they often choose to continue suffering, rather than fixing the problem, because they think that their suffering provides them with the completeness and fulfillment required to lead a meaningful and whole life. More than anything, a person with martyr syndrome longs for recognition and approval from those around them. Continuing to suffer, rather than fixing the problem, is a common symptom of those who are in an abusive or harassing relationship. They stay with the person causing them pain because they think that they can change the person’s ways with their unselfish behavior. Even if they have the choice of getting out of their bad situation, they choose to stay in it because they think it is more noble to suffer and if they leave the situation, they may be viewed as selfish. For example, someone may stay with an abusive spouse for two reasons.  One would be that they think it is their duty to fix the partner and their relationship, so they suffer in order to be unselfish and mend the partner's ways. The second reason may be that they choose to stay because they does not want their children to live in a disturbed home. Because of this, they choose to suffer rather than letting their children suffer, as they think would happen if they were to leave their spouse. People with martyr syndrome often select someone to be their role model. This role model is generally someone who chose to suffer rather than confront a situation in order to achieve a goal of some kind. Because of this role model, the person is ruled by thoughts of others and puts themselves on a pedestal of  for having taken up the task of rendering selfless services for the sake of others. People with martyr syndrome often look and act unhappy because they feel that their sacrifices are underappreciated. A person with martyr syndrome will often feel like the person they have sacrificed for does not really how instrumental they have been in the person’s success. The person will mostly talk about how difficult life...


Know that pregnancy and childbirth is the most common cause of a prolapsed bladder. Recognize the role of menopause. Be aware of muscle strain as a factor. Consider your weight.

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

During pregnancy and childbirth, your pelvic muscles and supportive tissues are strained and stretched. Since these are the muscles that hold your bladder in place, serious stress or weakness on them can allow the bladder to slip down into the vagina. Women who have been pregnant, especially if they had multiple vaginal births, are at high risk for the development of cystoceles. Even women who delivered by cesarean are at risk. Postmenopausal women are at significant risk for a prolapsed bladder due to reduced levels of the female sex hormone estrogen.  Estrogen is partly responsible for maintaining the strength, tone, and resilience of your vaginal muscles. As a result, the low levels of estrogen accompanying the transition into menopause cause these muscles to become thinner and less elastic, which leads to overall weakening. Note that this drop in estrogen takes place even if you enter menopause through artificial means, as with the surgical removal of your uterus (hysterectomy) and/or ovaries. These surgeries not only cause damage to the pelvic area, but also cause changes in estrogen levels. Therefore, though you may be younger than most menopausal women and otherwise healthy, you are still at risk for a cystocele. Intense straining or heavy lifting can sometimes trigger a prolapse. When you strain the muscles of your pelvic floor, you risk triggering a prolapsed bladder (especially if the muscles of your vaginal wall have already been weakened by menopause or childbirth). Types of straining that can cause a cystocele include:  Lifting very heavy objects (including children) Chronic, intense coughing Constipation and straining during bowel movements If you are overweight or obese, your risk of a prolapsed bladder is increased. The extra weight places additional strain on the muscles of your pelvic floor. Whether someone is overweight or obese is determined by using the body mass index (BMI), an indicator of body fatness. BMI is a person's weight in kilograms (kg) divided by the square of the person's...


Know that the Khmer alphabet is very different from English. Know that there is no standard English phonetic system for Khmer. Listen to Khmer to best learn its phonetic system.

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

The Khmer language is ancient and borrows from many other Austroasiatic languages, most notably Thai and Lao. It is similar to other southeast Asian languages such as Vietnamese and Mon, and has a beautiful flowing script. If you know much about Asian language systems, you'll know that this means that Khmer, both in print and spoken aloud, is very different from the English alphabet system.  The Khmer alphabet is alphasyllabic, meaning that each letter represents a syllable rather than one sound like in English. It is written from left to right, with no spaces between words in a given sentence. Khmer contains 33 consonant letters, 14 independent vowels, and 21 vowel diacritics (essentially an accent mark written above or below a letter that changes the way it is pronounced). None of these letters are similar to English, which can make it hard to learn for native English speakers. There are many systems that people use to "romanize" the Khmer language, that is, to render it in roman alphabetic characters like those used in the English language. This can make it hard to learn how to pronounce Khmer phrases, as you will find many variations of how Khmer words are written in phonetically in English. While you can learn the gist of the language by reading about it, the best way to learn to pronounce phrases in Khmer is to listen to native speakers.  You can watch free Khmer lessons at www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hp_Kj5e5PQ Check out Youtube video blogger Nathanial Dick's introductory videos at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0XPeQACWm4. While he is not a native speaker, his videos are very helpful if you are a native English speaker just learning about Khmer.


Know that the secret to leg-yielding is in timing. Mount your horse. Keeping your body straight, when the horse's outside shoulder is up (when you are rising), shift your hips to the outside as though you are going to stand in that stirrup. Get the horse to take one or two steps at a leg-yield, then allow them to move straight and forward again. As the horse learns the signal, you will be able to perform a leg-yield by simply shifting your weight slightly to the outside

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

In order to really  get a feel for it, it is necessary to begin without being mounted. Have an assistant in the ring that can have her hands free. Begin by walking  in a straight line with your assistant walking on your left. Have her put her hand on your ribcage (approximately the same place a riders leg  would be if you were a horse). First,  have her push gently  on you every time your left foot is on the ground. You will notice that you bend around the pressure, but can continue to walk in a straight line without much  trouble. Then, have your assistant begin to push you gently when your right foot is on the ground. You  will find that you have to step over in order to stay upright. Start at a rising trot (posting). The signal will come  when the horses outside shoulder (the shoulder toward which you want to go, in this case) is up. Your inside leg will automatically come in against the horse's side.  With a surprisingly small amount of pressure, you will cause the horse to step over (you are acting like your assistant's hand on your  side.) Make sure to praise the horse.


Know that there is no "right" time to become sexually active. Avoid making spur-of-the-moment decisions to stop waiting. Find a partner that you know and trust. Work up to sex slowly. Ask yourself if you are ready before committing.

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

Everyone has different reasons for beginning their sex lives, and there is no time that is "too late." You need to do what feels right to you and know that you aren't missing out because you've decided to practice abstinence. The "three-date rule" about waiting in a relationship is an archaic, overly-simplistic rule. You should feel comfortable with your partner before having sex no matter how many dates it takes. If you're considering becoming sexually active you need to sit down and think about how your priorities or beliefs have shifted since deciding to wait. You do not want to regret your decision because you made it impulsively. However, if you've thought about having sex for a few weeks and have considered the potential repercussions already, it might be time to pursue a sexual relationship. Talk to your partner about your changing viewpoints instead of making them guess. Your decision to become sexually active should be made together. All relationships, sexual included, are based on trust and communication. Waiting to have sex is a great way to get to know someone without the pitfalls and awkwardness of a new sexual relationship. When you do decide to have sex, having a partner who you can trust to treat you well will make the moment much less stressful. Whether this is your first time or just a new stage in the relationship, your sex life will be much happier when built on trust. The only key to trust is open communication. Not just about your sex life, but about your entire relationship. Take your time instead of rushing under the sheets. Know that, at any point during foreplay or intercourse, that you can stop and pull things back. Kiss, hold each other, and work up to sex instead of making it the end all be all of your relationship. This will help your approach sex comfortably. You can ease into it as you learn about yourself and your partner. Becoming sexually active is a big decision, and you should not make it lightly. Spend some time thinking about this alone, before the heat of the moment....


Know that there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Be aware of the common reactions to death. Anticipate the different stages of grief. Give yourself time.

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

While there may be some common ways that people often react to death, no two people will react or learn to cope with the death in the exact same manner or time frame.  You may notice some people around you either seem to be much more affected by the death or not bothered by it. Be careful not to assume they do not care. A family member may find comfort in staying busy and focusing on other things—this is just the way he or she deals with the death. Grieving is not about who is the most upset. It’s a very personal thing. You may also find that everyone around you has some sort of suggestion about moving on or how it gets easier. This advice may or may not be helpful to you. Just keep in mind that they mean well and are also trying to cope with the death and also be there for you. You may see both physical and emotional reactions to the death that depend on several factors. Knowing these helps you to understand that grieving can look very different. Your feelings are adequate and real no matter how you might express them.  Physical reactions to the death may manifest as dizziness, physically throwing up or feeling like you are going to, numbness, disorientation, headache or body pains, or not being able to sleep or the opposite where you feel all you can do is sleep. Emotional reactions may include sadness, confusion, denial about what happened, anger, and guilt. Certain factors may influence how you grieve a particular death. These include, but are not limited to, the relationship you had with the person who passed, the age of the person, the person’s health at the time he or she died, and whether the death was something you were anticipating. While most people will go through each stage of grief, there is no time frame or correct way to do so. You also may find you don’t go through all the stages and that is fine, too. The stages of grief might look like:  Denial- “This can’t be true. I just talked to her.” Anger- Needing to know who is to blame or how it happened Bargaining- “Take me instead.” Depression- “I...


Know that there is no such thing as lost time. Reflect on the experience. Figure out your priorities. Cast away your fear and consider the possibilities. Have hope for the future. Imagine the next guy before he arrives. Be realistic about your expectations.

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

Regardless of whether you spent 1 year or 20 years on this guy, that time was not a waste. You learned and grew as a person, after all. Your life may not be where you want it to be right now, and your focus on him might be partially at fault, but that doesn't mean that the experiences you did have were worthless. Focus on the areas of your life that have experienced growth while your love life was stagnant. This could include friendships, relationships with your family, progress in your career, or increased interest in your hobbies. Any forward motion is positive, no matter how small it might seem. Think about both the positives and negatives, and apply the lessons you learned during that time to your present and future life. You might want to put the whole mess behind you, but learning from past mistakes and triumphs will make you a stronger person overall. Ask yourself what you really want out of life and which things are really important to you. By figuring out where your focus should be, it will be easier for you to peel that focus away from the guy you lost. Love can still be a priority, but focus on the opportunities to love that are still in front of you in the form of friendships and relationships with your family. You can hope for romantic love, but set it aside and focus on other things for now. The future can be a scary notion, especially when your plans for the future have suddenly been changed. Instead of looking at the unknown ahead of you with fear, however, think about all the possibilities it might hold for you.  Fear causes you to cling to what is familiar, and to the things of the past that made you happy, even when those things are hurting you in the present. Considering the possibilities will set your mind in motion on how you can improve yourself. The excitement of making a fresh start can often help ease the pain of an ending. It can be easy to think that you will never fall in love again after letting go of a guy you felt so strongly for. If you tell yourself that too often, though,...


Know that this was not your fault. Call for emergency help. Do not shower, wash up, or change your clothes. Get immediate medical attention. Inform staff if you suspect you were drugged or assaulted while under the influence of alcohol. Call a help line. Consider calling the police to report the incident. Don't hesitate to act if time has passed. Hold on through the emotional trauma. Understand you will have physical symptoms.

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

No matter how it happened, nothing you did caused someone else to rape or sexually assault you.  Do not be afraid of telling people for fear of being blamed. It was not your fault. Your body belongs to you and only you.  Rape and sexual assault can happen to anyone, anywhere. Men are victims, too.  You never asked for it, no matter what you were wearing, and you're not alone.  Being forced into sex or being sexually assaulted by someone you are on a date with is still acquaintance or date rape. It doesn't matter if you know them and are dating them. You can be in a regular relationship with someone and still be forced into having sex against your will, even if it's not a violent act. More than half of all rapes are by someone you know.  Drinking alcohol or taking drugs is not an excuse for someone to rape you. Intoxication loosens inhibitions and can increase violent tendencies. Drugs and alcohol can also decrease your ability to get help. Regardless of who was drinking or taking the drugs, there is still no excuse for sexual assault.  If you are a male and you had an erection during the assault, do not be ashamed or feel guilty as if you enjoyed it. An erection is simply a natural physical reaction to stimulation even if you didn't want it and didn't enjoy it. You were not asking for it. If you are in immediate danger or are seriously injured, call emergency services. Your safety is the first priority. In North America, call 911. You naturally will feel the need to get any trace of the perpetrator off of you but it is important that you wait.  Any bodily fluids or traces of hair left on you from your assailant can be used later as evidence, if you decide to press charges. Washing your face, body, or clothes can remove vital evidence. Go to the hospital and inform the staff you have been assaulted and tell them if the assault included vaginal or anal penetration.  If you permit them, specially trained staff will conduct a “forensic exam” and use a “rape kit” to collect hair and fluid samples for forensic...


Know that tobacco leaf will grow in almost every type of soil. For best results, grow tobacco in a climate that's dry and warm.

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

Tobacco is an extremely hardy plant. It grows pretty much where any other agricultural crop will grow, although, as a rule of thumb, tobacco grows better in soils which drain well. The important thing to note is that tobacco will be extremely affected by the soil in which it is grown; lighter soils will generally produce lighter colored tobacco, while darker soils will generally produce darker colored tobacco. Tobacco requires a frost-free period of 3 to 4 months between transplant and harvest. For best results, tobacco should be ripened without heavy rainfall; excess water causes tobacco plants to become thin and flaky. The ideal temperature for growing tobacco is 68° to 86° F (20° to 30° C).


Know that truck tightness is a matter of personal preference. Bring your tool with you on your first few rides to make simple adjustments after testing.

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

At the end of the day, there is no "perfect" amount to tighten your trucks. The tighter you turn the trucks, the more difficult the board is to turn. Too loose and you won't feel like you're stable, and your turns will be wide and difficult to control.The spot right in the middle of these extremes, your perfect tightness, is based on your own style and preference. Luckily, there is a large range of rideable tightness -- this isn't rocket science!   Generally, tighter pins provide more resistance on turns, key for high-speed skating. Looser pins have a more forgiving feel on turns and landings. A hard day of riding will show you all the pros and cons of your new truck set-up. But that doesn't mean you need to be stuck with your set-up all day. A skate tool is small and easy to carry. Bring it along and make adjustments as needed.


Know that unbalanced blades cause most fan wobbling issues. Purchase a blade balancing kit, or make your own. Hook the balancing clip on the center of a blade, using the edge angled higher. Slide the balancing clip up and down the blade, testing each time. Attach a balancing weight at the location of the balancing clip, in the center of the blade. Swap the blade positions if more than one blade is out of balance or if the fan is wobbling right after installation.

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

If there is a weight difference of even .5 grams you will be in for some wobbling when things start spinning at high speeds. This could be the result of improper installation, fan wear, or simply poorly designed blades. Blade balancing kits are simply small weights that you use to get your fan running smoothly. They consist of weighted clips and/or several adhesive weights meant to attach to your fan blade, allowing you to adjust the weight slightly and get everything balanced. Though balancing kits are cheap, you can use tape and a few nickels and dimes to make your own balancing kit at home, though the need to tape and untape the coins makes the process take a little longer. These small clips add weight to the blade, allowing you to test which one is ruining the balance. Turn on the fan and note if the wobble is reduced. Move the clip to another blade, testing each one until your find out which one is causing the problem.  Look for the blade that, when the balance clip is attached, lowers the wobble the most. To test without a kit, tape a nickel in the center of a blade, then test it. Remove the nickel and try another one until you find the culprit. Once you've found the unbalanced blade, move the clip up 6 inches, then test it again. Move it down towards the base and test that too, looking for the spot where the fan spins the smoothest. There are apps available which will help you find the best spot for the clips to remove the wobble. Once you know where you need to balance the fan, remove the adhesive backing to the weight and stick it on the blade so that it is lined up with the balancing clip. Remove the clip and test the fan again. If the fan starts wobbling again after you remove the clip, attach a second, smaller weight next to the first one to make up for the weight of the balancing clip. If you can't find one blade that is out of balance they may have been installed incorrectly. If your fan is brand new, you may have simply added the fans in the wrong order, and switching out the blades should fix...


Know that what you are feeling is normal. Express your feelings. Maintain your physical health. Pamper yourself. Find ways to distract yourself. Use positive self-talk to deal with anxiety or other negative emotions. Consider talking to a therapist if your obsession seems unhealthy.

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

When falling in love, your hormones go wild and may cause you to feel all sorts of things that seem abnormal. You might feel delirious with joy, anxious, stressed, or even a bit obsessed with your new love. Just keep in mind that the feelings you are having are normal and they will become more tolerable with time. Make sure that you do not allow your feelings to take over your life. Continue to make time for yourself and keep up with your normal routine. To deal with the flood of new emotions that come with falling in love, you might find it useful to find an outlet to express the way that you feel. Consider talking to a trusted friend about your response to the new love or write about your feelings in a journal. Journaling has the added benefit of reducing stress and helping you deal with problems, so it may help you work through your feelings. Writing about your feelings in a journal can be a great way to cope with them. Try to write about how you have been feeling for about 15-20 minutes per day. You may even find yourself feeling more creative as a result of your new love and want to try your hand at some poetry. Even if you are so overcome with love that you feel like spending all of your time thinking of your love interest, make sure that you continue to take care of your basic needs, such as diet, exercise, and sleep. To keep yourself looking and feeling your best, consider speaking with a nutritionist, joining a gym, or taking yoga classes.  Eat healthy. Look for ways to improve your eating habits, such as by reducing fat and sugar and eating more fruits and vegetables. Exercise for 30 minutes every day. You should try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity into your routine every day. Give yourself enough time to rest and relax each day. Try to sleep for about 8 hours every night and allow yourself plenty of time to relax each day. Try meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Making time for pampering and grooming may help you deal with your feelings of love and it...


Know that you are not over-reacting. Walk away. Make it about the words or behavior. Be direct with your peers. Deal with a racist comment or behavior in a group setting. Practice different approaches to racist behavior or comments. Learn how to deal with racism from a superior. Know your rights. Try to differentiate between racist actions and racist people. Take care of yourself.

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

Like harassment, brief and often unintentional acts of racial discrimination (known as "microaggressions") might seem like no big deal to other people, but if it bothers you, it has to stop. Studies show that people of color experience racial microaggressions every day, but perpetrators almost always deny that they've done anything wrong or that their actions were racially-motivated. This can leave people of color feeling like they're imagining things, or worried that if they say something that their experiences will be invalidated by denial. If you experience a microaggression or a more blatant form of racial hostility, put your own needs first; you can choose to walk away. You are not under any obligation to engage with a person like that. It is never your job as a victim of racism to "fix" the perpetrator.  Engaging in conversations about racism are exhausting, emotionally upsetting, and just plain hard work, and you can just walk away. But, if you want to engage with the person who is at fault, you can choose to do that, too. Instead of accusing a person of being racist, which risks raising defensiveness, point out exactly why the behavior or words are problematic. For example, instead of saying, "You are offensive," say, "That phrase is pretty offensive to Native Americans." By using "that phrase" instead of "you," you take the focus off of the perpetrator and on the words themselves. You are never obligated to accept or deal with racism just to avoid causing friction among your peers. Racism is always wrong and you have every right to say something about it. If someone is behaving in a way that seems racist to you, point out why it is a problem. You can choose your approach; recognize that people tend to become defensive when they are called out, so the more tact you use, the more likely they are to be receptive to your comments. When someone in a group does or says something offensive, your approach to dealing with it might be more or less effective depending on several factors. Decide what your goals...


Know that you can get through this. Ask for help immediately. Delay your plan. Think of all the people who love and care about you. Don't feel guilty or ashamed for your thoughts. Think of all the things you have yet to do. Find a distraction. Talk to a doctor or a therapist. Make a gratitude list. Take care of yourself. Avoid your triggers. Avoid drugs or alcohol. Address the causes as much as you can.

You may literally be at the end of your rope, thinking that there's absolutely nowhere else for you to turn. But you know what the best part of rock bottom is? It's that the only place you can go is up. You may feel like you have nothing to live for and that everything can only get worse, but the important thing to remember is that things will get better if you stick it out and make a game plan. Sure, your life won't be amazing overnight, but if you are aware that things can get better for you, then you'll be on the way to moving forward. When you feel a suicidal thought creeping up, just tell yourself that you know you can get through it and that you'll have better days. There are many people out there who deal with people like us every day of their lives. They are there because they want to help us, not make us feel even more miserable. It may seem like there is nobody in this world who can help you, but that's probably because you're not letting them help you. If you tell your friends how you're feeling then they are guaranteed to help you out. That is, if you let them. It's understandable that you may not want anyone's help, and that's completely acceptable. But you can't just keep having that thought linger in your mind forever.  If you feel that you are in danger of harming yourself and have no one to turn to, call the Emergency Services, your doctor, or check yourself into the ER as soon as you can. You should not be alone during this difficult time, period. You can also call a helpline if you're in trouble and want someone to talk to. You can call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) at any time in the US or you can call Samaritans at 116 123 or PAPYRUS at 0800 068 41 41 (if you are a teen or a young adult) if you're in the UK. Go online to find the contact information for the suicide helpline in your country. If you'd rather text someone, send a message to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 to chat with a crisis counselor. If you're in Canada, the number is 686868, or text 85258 in the UK. If you're having suicidal...


Know that you can manually open some car doors. Pry open the door with a screwdriver and push the unlock button. Use a clothes-hanger to open your door manually. Unlock your car with your shoelace. Call AAA if you cannot get into your car.

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

The following techniques only work on older cars that don't use electronic locking. If your car doors have small knobs or rods that move up and down when you lock the car you should be able to get the door open without a key. Known as the "screw and rod" technique, this can damage your car if you are not careful. Since the locking mechanism is usually on the middle of the door, you can pry open the top part of the door with a screwdriver and use a long rod to push the unlock button.  Pry open the top of the door with a flathead screwdriver. Take a metal rod or yardstick and stick it into the space you between the car and the door. Use the rod to press the "unlock" button on your door. This technique often works for newer cars as well. Pull apart the clothes hanger so that you have a long wire with the hook at the end. You can use this hook to manually pull up the lock on your car door. Stick the hook end of the hanger between weather-stripping and the bottom of the window, lining the end of the hook up with the knob of the lock. Stick the hook down and feel around for the lock -- it will feel like a vertical rod sticking up from the keyhole to the lock inside the car. Get your hook under this rod and pull up to release the lock.  This may take some time, especially if you are inexperienced, but it will work in a pinch. "Slim-Jims" are professional hooks made for this purpose. They are the long, slender tools seen in carjackers on movies and TV. This strategy only works on cars that have a visible knob that unlocks the door. Still, it is quick, easy, and efficient. To open your car with a shoelace:  Create a slipknot in the middle of your lace. Get the lace inside the car by threading it between the door and the car frame. Think of "flossing" the space between your door and the car. Hook the loop in the middle of your lace around the locking mechanism. Tighten the lace around the lock by pulling on both ends. Pull the lock upwards to unlock your car. If you have an AAA membership you may be entitled to a free...


Know that you can never lose a tampon inside your body. Know that you can still pee when you're wearing a tampon. Know that a girl of any age can start wearing a tampon once her period starts. Know that inserting a tampon will not make you lose your virginity. Know that wearing a tampon will not cause any health problems.

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

The tampon has an extremely strong, durable string that runs through it, which never falls off. The string runs through the entire tampon instead of just being attached to the end, so there is literally no way for it to just detach. You can even try taking a new tampon and tugging on the string as hard as you can for a while — you'll see that it's impossible to just take it off, and therefore not possible that the tampon will get stuck inside of you. This is a common fear that people have, but it is completely unfounded. Some people who wear tampons go years before realizing that they can actually pee when they use them. The tampon is inserted into your vaginal opening, and you pee out of your urethral opening. The two are close together, but they are different holes, and therefore, inserting a tampon will not fill your bladder or make it harder for you to pee. Some people think that if they pee, that the tampon will come right out, but this absolutely will not happen. You do not have to be over 16 or over 18 to wear a tampon. It's perfectly safe for girls younger than this to wear tampons, as long as they know how to insert them correctly. Some people think that they can only wear tampons after they have had sex, and that using them before that will make them lose their virginity. Well, this is just completely untrue. While using a tampon may occasionally cause a girl to tear or stretch her hymen, nothing will make you "lose your virginity" other than actual sex. Tampons work just as effectively for virgins as for non-virgins. Wearing a tampon will not give you a yeast infection, contrary to what you may have heard. There has been absolutely no scientific proof that this is possible. Some people think this is the case because women tend to get yeast infections around the time of their period, which is also when they use tampons.


Know that you can only add subtitles to movies on your computer. Find the movie you want to subtitle on your computer and put it in a separate file. Search online for "Your Movie + Language + Subtitles" to find the right file. Find the subtitles you want and download the . Rename the subtitle file to match your movie file. Put the . Add .

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

If you current DVD does not have certain subtitles, found under the "Settings" or "Language" headers on the DVD menu, you will not be able to add them without advanced software and equipment. DVD's are protected and cannot be re-written, and your DVD player will not be able to add new languages. Your computer, however, is a different beast entirely, and you can add any new subtitles you can find to a movie watched on your computer. If you're watching on a DVD players, try the "titles" or "subtitle" button on your DVD player's remote. Find the folder or movie file in Finder or Windows Explorer. More likely than not it will be a .mov, .avi, or .mp4 file. Luckily, you do not need to adjust the movie file at all, however, you will need to find it and link it to a new subtitle file. Subtitle files will usually end in the extension .SRT, and are simply the words and the times that each title needs to play during the movie.  You need the movie in it's own file, with the .SRT file, for it to read the subtitles. Some older subtitle files might end in the extension .SUB. Go on your favorite search engine and search for the subtitles in your language. If, for example, you want Indonesian subtitles for X-Men: First Class, you might search for "X-Men: First Class Indonesian Subtitles." The first site you find is likely good enough, as these files are small and not likely to contain viruses. SRT file. Download an SRT. file from a website such as Subscene, MovieSubtitles, or YiFiSubtitles. Make sure you avoid any pop-ups and only download .SRT or .SUB files. If you feel unsafe on a site, leave and find another. If the movie is BestMovieEver.AVI, your subtitle needs to be written as BestMovieEver.SRT. Find you newly downloaded file wherever you put it (often in the "Downloads" folder) and make sure you rename appropriately. The .SRT file name must be the same name as the movie. SRT file in the folder of the movie. Make a new, dedicated folder for you movie if there isn't one already. Place the .SRT file in the same folder as...


Know that you use calculus to find complex areas and volumes. Know that integration finds the area underneath a graph. Know that you have to select an area to integrate. Remember how to find the area of a rectangle. Know that integration adds up many small rectangles to find area. Know how to correctly read and right integrals. Learn how to find integrals Know that integration reverses differentiation, and vice versa. Know that integration can also find the volume of 3D objects.

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

Calculus allows you to measure complex shapes that are normally too difficult. Think, for example, about trying to find out how much water is in a long, oddly shaped lake – it would be impossible to measure each gallon of water separately or use a ruler to measure the shape of the lake. Calculus allows you to study how the edges of the lake change, and use that information to learn how much water is inside. Making geographic models and studying volume is using integration. Integration is the second major branch of calculus. Integration is used to measure the space underneath any line, which allows you to find the area of odd or irregular shapes. Take the equation y=4−x2,{\displaystyle y=4-x^{2},} which looks like an upside-down “U.” You might want to find out how much space is underneath the U, and you can use integration to find it. While this may seem useless, think of the uses in manufacturing – you can make a function that looks like a new part and use integration to find out the area of that part, helping you order the right amount of material. You cannot just integrate an entire function. For example, y=x{\displaystyle y=x} is a diagonal line that goes on forever, and you cannot integrate the whole thing because it would never end. When integrating functions, you need to choose an area, such as all points between x=2{\displaystyle x=2} and x=5.{\displaystyle x=5.} Imagine you have a flat line above a graph, like y=4.{\displaystyle y=4.} To find the area underneath it, you would be finding the area of a rectangle between y=0{\displaystyle y=0} and y=4.{\displaystyle y=4.} This is easy to measure, but it will never work for curvy lines that cannot be turned into rectangles easily. If you zoom in very close to a curve, it looks flat. This happens every day – you cannot see the curve of the earth because we are so close to its surface. Integration makes an infinite number of little rectangles under a curve that are so small they are basically flat, which allows you to measure them. Add all of these together...


Know that you will most likely be sent home shortly after surgery. Wear a bandage or splint after surgery. Use ice as needed. Consider pain medication. Know which complications to look out for. Quit smoking

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

A carpal tunnel release surgery is generally done as an "outpatient procedure," meaning that you show up during the day, receive the surgery, and are sent home the same day. It is very rare that anyone would need to stay overnight, or be officially admitted for a hospital stay, for this surgery. Therefore, excluding unforeseen complications, you can expect to be sent home on the same day. For approximately one week following the procedure (or for however long your surgeon advises), you will need to wear a bandage or splint. The nurse (or the surgeon) will put this on prior to you leaving the hospital. The purpose is to keep your wrist and hand properly aligned during the initial healing stages.  Your doctor will ask you to return for a follow-up visit approximately one week later. At this time, she will assess your initial healing, and will most likely remove the bandage or splint. She will also provide you with further instructions regarding what to expect with your recovery moving forwards. Studies examining the use of ice following surgery have had conflicting results, meaning that some patients noticed a difference in their pain levels while others did not. You can try icing for 10–20 minutes at a time as a strategy for pain relief in the days following surgery. It may help to control pain, and also to diminish swelling (inflammation) in the area. You can start with over-the-counter pain medications as needed, such as Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or Ibuprofen (Advil). Follow the dosing on the bottle or your doctor's instructions. For many people, this is sufficient; however, if you find the pain is still bothering you and interfering with your daily function, you can speak to your physician about receiving prescription strength pain medication.  The pain should begin to subside a few days to a week or so after surgery. If your pain is worsening and not improving, contact your physician. Tell him what is going on, and he will determine whether or not you need to come in sooner than a routine follow-up. As you...


Know that you'll need an effective pitch to sell your idea. Become a salesperson, not a writer. Pitch quickly and energetically. Have 4-5 more ideas on hand. Hire an entertainment lawyer to review any deal before signing.

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

More likely than not, you'll need to pitch your idea again once Hollywood executives bring you in. There are a lot of different stages that need to OK your idea before it gets made, and not all them have time for advance research on your idea. You need to enter ready to knock them out. You should always prepare your pitch and practice it well in advance. Your idea was revised and honed to perfection, your pitch needs to be, too. Development execs hear hundreds of ideas a day, and they are often phrased: "I have a good idea, I'm a good writer, and the world is ready to hear it." While this may be true, you are not defending your art, you are selling it. You should be talking about why they need to buy it. How does your idea benefit them and their viewers? Why is it the right fit for them? Check your ego at the door and become a salesperson if you want success. This is where your research comes in handy. You need to know what kind of movies/shows the company produces, and who its audience is, to best capture its attention. Your pitch should fit in under 5-10 minutes. These people do not have a ton of time, and they hear a lot of pitches each day. You want to make sure you capture their attention immediately get to the point shortly after. A good structure to consider includes:   A Hook: How do you grab their attention? This is usually with the log-line you developed ahead of time-- the one sentence hook that describes your show or movie and draws people in. A good way to think of this is, "What is the "What if?" of your idea?"   The Audience: Who is this show marketed to? How does it fit perfectly into the network or studio's existing audience?  The "Trailer:" Think of any great movie trailer. What are the elements that make you want to go buy a ticket? Come up with these moments, the selling points, for your idea, and use them to paint a fuller picture of your movie or show.  The Budget (Optional): If you are convinced that you know the budget, roughly, for the show/movie, bring it along. Especially if it is...


Know that your past does not define your future. Learn from your mistakes. Move on.

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

You may have had some downs, some failed grades or poor relationships - this does not mean that you will fail every exam you ever take or have poor relationships for the rest of your life. Acknowledge any role that you may have played in these and also look at other factors that may have been at play. The point of this is not to point fingers or lay blame on any one. Understand that you have some control over the quality of your life. Look at things that may have gone wrong in the past and look at your behavior then and now. Forgive yourself. Are there any lessons that you can draw from them? Write them down. Is there anything you’re doing that you know will have consequences that you will regret later? Instead, do something that will be of benefit to you later, or at the very least will not cause any harm. You will have to exercise some discipline. It’s easy to repeat behavior just because it’s familiar, it’s what you’re used to doing in a particular situation. For example, if you’re used to eating lots of sweet things and now you have diabetes, it will take time to adjust to your eating habits. Take the lessons you’ve learned, and carry on with life. As your past defined your present, your present will define your future. What you do now, will affect your future.  Allow yourself to fully feel any grievance you may have for the past. For a friendship that went sour or for a project you set out to do that didn’t work out the way you wanted. Write about it or discuss it with someone you trust. Express your view on the matter and why you’re upset about it. This will help you better understand your situation.  Accept that what’s done is done and that you can only deal with the here and now. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and if you can, make amends with others. Internalizing this may take longer than a day. Your choices, habits and behavior in the past made who you are today. It will take time to cultivate new habits that will make who you are tomorrow.


Know that you’ll make new friends. Be grateful. Get out of the house. Take a class. Do your favorite things. Be patient.

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

Lots of people come and go throughout our lives. Your friendship might have just run its course. Think of it as an open space in your life that you can fill up with new, stronger friendships. When a friendship ends it can be easy to focus on negative things. Take stock of the things in your life that you are grateful for. Make a list of people you still feel close to, skills you are proud of, groups you’re involved with or tasks you enjoy. Keep the list close by in a your wallet or bag or hang it above your desk so you can look to it when you are feeling lonely. Sitting around and dwelling on lost friends will make it harder to get over them. If you catch yourself spending too much time in the house feeling sad get out. Go for a jog or to the gym. Go to a place where you can be around other people like a coffee shop, the library or a concert. Seeking out a new hobby can be a great distraction and can help you meet new friends. Sign up for something you are interested in to keep you busy. A yoga class or meditation group can be particularly helpful in times of distress. You might also consider a cooking class, dance lessons, or learning how to play an instrument. Don’t let lost friendships keep you from enjoying yourself. Make sure you make extra time to do things that you enjoy and that make you happy. Read, play video games, go out with other friends, play an instrument. Keep busy. Healing from the loss of a friendship is going to take time. Even though you might be experiencing very real feelings of loneliness and depression, know that no feeling lasts forever and that as long as you are taking good care of yourself, you’ll be able to find the strength to pull through.


Know the Basics. Keep track of your time. Gather supplies. Find a shelter. Craft items. Wait for sunrise.

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

Remember to keep your character in top shape. A life gauge is located at the bottom left of the screen.  Hunger (Green) - Regenerate your hunger by eating canned foods, berries and cooked meat. Health (Red) - Health can be replenished over time by using medical supplies such as painkillers and bandages. It also regenerates if Hunger is appeased, though not as good as what medical supplies do. Thirst (Aqua Blue) - Your Thirst lowers quickly as you move around. Refill your thirst; drink bottled water or juice. If you don't have water with you, equip an empty bottle. At a nearest lake, right click on the water; this will refill your bottle. Time is important. Zombies run and move faster as soon as the sun sets in.  Daytime (7:30AM - 8:30PM) – Strengthen your shelter and find loot. Zombies are slow, but they run in dark places. Nighttime (9:00PM - 6:00AM) – Zombies at night are more active and aggressive; they deal more damage and can even break blocks. They can also spawn at your shelter if you're not around so use torches to light up your home. Gather as much food, water, and weapons as you can, from cars, junks and even dead corpses by pressing “E”.  Save your bullets for emergency; you can kill zombies with a stick, and aim at the head. Once you have killed them, you can loot their items as well. Search for a good shelter to keep you safe from horde attacks. The best shelter for beginners is a house with a basement.  With enough supplies, begin digging the ground at your basement. This is a great hideout for aggressive zombies. Block up the door and windows with a stone block for added protection. Block up the entryway as well to prevent the zombies from entering the hole. Put torches around the cave to slow them down and to prevent them from spawning. After having supplies and shelter, you can start crafting items.  Press “I” to open up your inventory; your crafting box is located at the upper part. At the right side of the box is a list of craftable items you can do with your materials. Click the item you...


Know the Instagram hipster uniform. Use hashtags and emojis thoughtfully. Elevate your selfies. Post once a day.

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

The essential hipster clothing items include: a beanie, Herschel backpack, Pendleton blanket, flannels, hiking boots with wool socks and, of course, skinny jeans.  Don't forget eyewear. Try over-sized plastic frame glasses, Buddy Holly glasses, Ray-Ban Wayfarers, and round sunglasses. Pick vintage items over mainstream labels, and layer with cardigans, sweaters, and jackets. Women should also invest in leggings, cute vintage dresses, and sun hats or "floppy hats." Going crazy with the hashtags can help you get more followers at first, but once you've started building a following, try to dial it back. Popular hipster hashtags include #liveauthentic #livefolk #exploremore #fromwhereistand #wildernessculture and #kinfolk. These are hashtags that are used and searched for by other hipsters, and can also get the attention of hipster publications like Folk Magazine and Kinfolk.  See if you can come up with your own hashtags that other people might use, like the #chasinglight hashtag. Try using a combination of emojis instead of a text caption. Never, ever, ever do the "duck lips" pose. It's unflattering and definitely not hipster. Get someone else to take your photo whenever possible, as selfies can come off a little narcissistic or desperate. If you do post a selfie, make sure it's interesting. Try only showing a portion of your face, or using a dramatic filter. You don't want to overwhelm your followers with 15 pictures one after the other, but you also want to have a presence in their feed. Choose your best, most striking photos, edit them carefully, and post only one or two each day.  Stretching out posting photos from a short trip has the added bonus of making it appear you are taking a much longer vacation. People will wonder how you pull off traveling all the time –don't you work or have school? Use a free service Iconosquare or SimplyMeasured to find out the optimal time to post for the most likes, comments, and views.


Know the LGBT community in your state. Go into the city. Find gay villages.

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

In the last few decades, studies have been dedicated to create maps of demographics of sexual orientation. The studies show that the west coast and the states of New England have the highest percentage of LGBT people. States in the Midwest have a very low percentage. If you are looking to surround yourself with gay and bisexual men, it will be easier to do if you live in a state with a more expansive LGBT community.   Highest LGBT community: California, Oregon, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, South Dakota, Vermont and Washington Lowest LGBT community: Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Utah Cities have higher percentages of LGBT people than rural areas. Taking a trip into a major city will heighten your chances of finding gay and bisexual men. Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, and Seattle are the cities with the highest percentage of LGBT people. If you're unable to go to a big city you can still meet gay guys in a small town. Gay villages are areas, typically in a large city, that are recognized with a  selection of bars, restaurants, festivals, and attractions that cater to gay and bisexuals. The best way to find these is simply by word of mouth. You can also use gay neighborhood websites, or you can ask a realtor who knows the area.


Know the Minimum Program Requirements for LEED certification. Determine what type of project you need certified. Understand the LEED credit system. Consult LEED certified professionals. Apply online for LEED certification. Know the LEED certification deadline. Work with the US Green Building Council during the review process.

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

Before requesting a member of LEED comes to certify your building, you need know if your building or project is eligible. In general any new building -- commercial or residential -- is eligible to be certified if it is a permanent structure, meets local building codes, and fits the LEED size requirements. New Neighborhoods, building upgrades, and complete remodeling projects can all be LEED certified. There are different processes for all types buildings, including neighborhoods, renovations, and homes. Each certification is done by a different set of professionals:   BD+C: Building Design and Construction. This certifies any newly constructed building that meets LEED requirements.  O+M: Operations and Management. Certifies improvements to existing buildings that makes them more efficient or green.  ID+C: Interior Design and Construction. Certifies interior designs as healthy and efficient work spaces.  ND: Neighborhood Development. Certifies neighborhood construction, design, and planning.  Homes: Certifies individual homes as efficient in energy consumption and wast management. LEED credits add up to form your building's "LEED Score," and includes everything from solar panels to light pollution reduction. A complete list of potential credits can be found in the LEED Credit Library. As you plan your building, discuss potential LEED credits with your architect and designers to maximize your project's green efficiency. To become certified, you need a minimum of 40 credits.  Several credits, like "building water metering" are required to become LEED certified. Buildings can also reach for higher certifications, such as Silver (50-59 points), Gold, (60-79 points) or Platinum (80+ points) certifications. LEED certified Associate Professionals (APs) are trained to help you plan, design, and build LEED specific projects. They are required to pass rigorous exams and continue their education even after their test. When starting a project, look for the title "LEED AP" next to any builder or designer you hire. Each AP...


Know the acids and bases that cannot be neutralized. Identify the strength of the acid or base. Neutralize strong acids with sodium hydroxide. Neutralize strong bases with hydrochloric acid. Check the pH again. Dilute by adding acid or base to water. Pour it down the drain.

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

There are some acids and bases that cannot be neutralized and disposed of down the sewer drain. Disposal of the following should be done through the proper hazardous waste collection channels:  perchloric acid concentrated nitric acid fuming (concentrated), sulfuric acid hydrofluoric acid acids or bases with dyes or surfactants acids of bases with heavy metals organic acids and bases that remain toxic after neutralization Strong acids (pH < 2.0) and strong bases (pH > 12.0) must be neutralized before dilution and disposal down the drain. The strength of the acid or base can be determined using a pH meter or pH strips. Strong acids and bases must be neutralized to a pH range between 6.0 and 9.0.  A pH meter directly measures the pH of the solution. pH paper has a color indicator that tells you the strength of the solution. Work in a fume hood (or well-ventilated area) because this process emits noxious fumes. Keep the solution constantly stirring and slowly add sodium hydroxide. This reaction will release heat so it is important that the sodium hydroxide is added slowly. Keep adding sodium hydroxide until the acid is neutralized.  Placing the container in a second container of ice will help avoid overheating and potential injury. You should also wear goggles and a mask to protect yourself from noxious fumes. The process of neutralizing a strong base is the same as neutralizing a strong acid except you use hydrochloric acid instead of sodium hydroxide. Slowly add the hydrochloric acid to the strong base while constantly stirring the solution. This reaction also releases heat, so add slowly and keep the container in a bucket of ice to avoid superheating the container. After neutralization, the pH should be in the range between 6.0 and 9.0. Use the pH meter or pH paper strips to ensure the proper neutralization of the acid or base. If the pH is not in the correct range, continue adding the neutralizing acid or base to the solution until the correct pH is reached. Acid-base indicator solutions can also be used to...


Know the background behind crystal healing. Understand how it works. Learn the different chakras. Understand that it is considered pseudoscience. Become a crystal therapist.

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

Crystal healing is believed to date back as far as 6,000 years ago, to the time of Sumerians in Mesopotamia. It is also believed that ancient Egyptians were some of the first to practice crystal healing. Today, crystal healing is predominantly based on traditional concepts in Asian cultures where some of the people believed in life-energy (chi or qi). Chakras, a part of modern crystal healing, also date back to traditional Asian cultures through Buddhism and Hinduism. These are said to connect the physical and supernatural elements of the body. Crystal healing is believed to be a natural form of medicine that receives its powers through different stones, which are assigned various properties. During a typical session, a healer may lay stones on the body in different areas, or may suggest that you wear certain stones to ward off sickness or absorb positive energy. Because each stone has a different power, it is believed that using these stones and crystals can restore balance and stability to the body's energy system, allowing natural healing processes to take place. There are so many different crystals, so it would be difficult to memorize them all, but there are only seven chakras, and it can be helpful to learn them so you are aware of the imbalances you may be experiencing in your body.  Crown Chakra: Located at the top of your head, this chakra helps connect you to your spiritual self. It promotes imagination, inspiration, and positive thought. Brow/Third Eye Chakra: Located just above the eyebrows, this chakra balances the glands in the endocrine system and so it affects vision, intuition, psychic abilities, concentration, self knowledge, and insight. Throat Chakra: Located in the throat, this chakra helps you to connect to the world around you, affecting communication, self-expression, and sound. Heart Chakra: Located in the center of the chest, this chakra deals with emotions and so it helps create compassion, love, understanding, sharing, and forgiveness. Solar Plexus Chakra: Located between the naval...


Know the basic concept of the game. Familiarize yourself with the sequence of events. Know a few basic things to do. Know a few basic things that go against the rules.

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

Cricket involves two teams of eleven players each. Teams bat in successive innings and try to score runs; the opposing team is in the field and trying to end the batting team's innings by getting 10 of them out. There are several different ways to get a batsman out and getting a batsman out is referred to as taking their wicket. After the two teams have batted (one or two innings depending on the format of the game) the team with the most runs wins. The basic concept of cricket is as simple as that! A coin toss decides which team bats or fields first. The two batsmen in the middle of the pitch need to make runs by hitting the ball, and the bowler will try to  bowl them out. The batsmen take turns hitting the ball and running to the opposite wicket, trying to ensure they get their runs before the fielder throws the ball back.  If a bowler, delivers a ball and the ball hits the stumps and the bail falls off, he is out Bowled. If a batsman hits the stumps with his bat and the bail falls off, he is out hit stumps. If a batsman is hit by the ball on the legs, and it is judged that the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps, he is out leg before wicket. If a fielder, bowler, or wicket keeper catches the batsman’s hit, he is out caught. If the batsman is running and the fielder, bowler, or wicketkeeper throws the ball directly at the batsman’s stumps and the bail falls off before the batsman is inside the crease, he is out run out. If a batsman is out another batsman replaces him. Once a team has lost ten wickets the innings is finished. If a player is batting, they should run between the wickets until the fielders have their ball; in cricket, a batsmen can score multiple runs per shot. If a player is in the field, they should pay attention to the bowler and batsmen so they will be ready to catch the ball when and if it comes at them. When a fielder collects a ball, they must decided to throw it back to the bowler or to the wicket keeper, depending on where their is a higher chance to get a batsman out. For...


Know the basic equation for kinetic friction. Rearrange the equation to isolate the normal force. Divide the kinetic friction by the coefficient of friction. Record your answer.

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

Kinetic friction, or the friction of an object in motion, is equal to the coefficient of friction multiplied by the normal force of an object. In equation format, that looks like: f = μ * N  In this equation, f stands for friction, μ refers to the coefficient of friction, and N refers to the normal force of the object. A "coefficient of friction" is the ratio between frictional resistance to normal force, which is responsible for pressing the two opposing surfaces together. If you have a value for the kinetic friction of an object, as well as that object's coefficient of friction, you can calculate the normal force by using the formula: N = f / μ  Both sides of the original equation were divided by μ, thereby isolating normal force on one side while accounting for the coefficient of friction and kinetic friction on the opposite side.  Example: Find the normal force of a block when the coefficient of friction is 0.4 and the amount of kinetic friction itself is 40 N. This is essentially all you need to do to find the value of the normal force.  Example: N = f / μ = 40 / 0.4 = 100 If desired, you can check your answer by plugging it back into the original equation for kinetic friction. Otherwise, you have completed the problem.  Example: The normal force is 100.0 N.


Know the basic method. Choose your reward. Consider clicker training. Train one skill at a time and keep sessions short, simple and rewarding. Decide what you want your dog to know.

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

There are many different methods of training dogs, but the effective ones all boil to three things: rewarding behaviors you like; not rewarding behaviors you don’t like; and staying consistent.  Rewarding – This is the easy and fun part. Rewards aren’t just for when you are actively training. If your goldie pees outside, you praise her. If she greets another dog in a friendly manner, tell her how great she is. Not rewarding negative behavior – This requires a little more vigilance. If your dog is doing something you don’t like, think about why: usually it is because she is rewarded somehow. You need to consistently remove that reward. For instance, if she jumps all over you in excitement when she sees her leash, you will not want to put it on and take her for a walk, as that rewards the behavior. Instead, turn away or look to the sky until she calms down. Then put the leash on and walk her. Be consistent – You and everyone else should respond the same way whatever your dog does. If you don’t feed her from the table, but your kid is busy offering your golden half his plate, you’re in trouble. Or if you tell your dog to get down when she jumps up sometimes and greet her enthusiastically others times, you are sending mixed messages that will confuse your dog. Whenever you are training your dog for a specific behavior, you will need to have a reward on hand. Pick something your goldie really loves; the better the reward, the easier it will be to teach your dog. If your dog loves to play, you can try using her favorite toy and playing with her when she barks. Most people, however, will find that treats are the most effective way to teach a dog. The best treats will be ones your dog loves, and which are also easy to carry, easy to break into pieces, and healthy. Use a variety of treats so your dog doesn’t get bored. Try:  String cheese sticks. Cooked chicken. Meat rolls (available at pet stores). Broken-up dog biscuits or store-bought training treats. Baby carrots or frozen green beans (for dogs on a diet).

Know the basic requirements. Figure out your work credits. Understand the exceptions if you're a younger worker. Know what SSA defines as disabled. Check the SSA's list of Compassionate Allowances. Be aware of special situations. Prepare for the waiting period.

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

In order to receive Social Security disability benefits as an adult, you must be 18 years of age or older, and permanently residing in an American state or territory. Generally, to be eligible for benefits, you must have worked in the recent past and earned a certain amount. To determine whether people have worked enough to meet the requirements, the SSA requires people to earn a certain number of work credits. Work credits are essentially income that is assigned a value. In general, you must have accumulated 40 work credits (20 in the past 10 years) to be eligible for disability. In 2015, every $1,220 earned in wages or self-employment income counts as one credit, and you may accrue up to four credits per year. When you have earned $4,880 for the year, you have earned your four credits.SSA has some exceptions and different rules for younger workers. Click here for more information. The SSA has some exceptions and different rules for younger workers. For example, if you become disabled before you turn 24, you will qualify for disability if you have 6 work credits earned in the past three years. If you are under 62, click here for work credit requirements. If you become disabled between the ages of 24 and 31, you will need to have credits for at least half the years between age 21 and when you become disabled. For example, if you become disabled at age 27, you will need credits for 3 years (27 - 21 = 6 and then 6 divided by 2 for half of the years). In order for you to qualify as disabled, SSA runs your case through a 5-step checklist. Overall, the condition must be long-term (lasting more than 12 months or resulting in death), prevent you from doing the work you did before, and prevent you from adjusting to another form of work.Here are the specific questions SSA uses to evaluate your case:  Are you working? If you are working in 2014 and making $1,070/month or more, you are not eligible. Is your condition severe? In order for a condition to be classified as severe, it must interfere with work-related...


Know the basic types of riddles. Understand the rules of riddles. Know that riddles may try to trick you.

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

There are two basic types of riddles: enigmas and conundrums. Both are often framed as a dialogue between the riddle asker (often the riddle’s solution) and the riddle answerer.  Enigmas are posed as problems using metaphorical, allegorical, or associational language that require creativity and experience to answer. For example: “If the sun sets, a flower-garden; but if you look at it after dawn, an empty garden. What is it?” (Answer: the sky.)  Conundrums are posed as questions that incorporate puns in the question, the answer, or both. For example: “What flowers can be found between the nose and chin?” (Answer: Tulips/”Two lips”) Most riddles deal with very familiar topics. Their difficulty comes in how those topics are described. Riddles often create a pattern of associations in order to direct you to the answer. For example, a popular riddle from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit goes: “Thirty white horses on a red hill, / First they champ, / Then they stamp, / Then they stand still.” This riddle uses familiar ideas (horses, hills) to figuratively express the answer (in this case, “teeth.”) Seemingly logical associations may really be misdirection. The correct answer may be so obvious that you initially dismiss it.  Red herrings are a common form of misdirection through association, as seen in this riddle: “A green man lives in the green house. A blue man lives in the blue house. A red man lives in the red house. Who lives in the white house?” The immediate answer, given the pattern set up, would be “a white man,” but the “White House” is a red herring: the President of the United States lives in the White House! A traditional African riddle asks: “How do you eat an elephant?” (Answer: one bite at a time.) This riddle is a good example of an answer being hidden in plain sight. Other “riddles” are not true riddles at all. For example, this traditional Yiddish riddle asks: “What hangs on a wall, is green, wet, and whistles?” The answer is “a herring” because you can hang a herring on a wall and paint a herring...


Know the basics of each solar house. Understand the adventurous Aries. Understand the warm and persistent Taurus. Understand the intelligent Gemini. Understand the emotional Cancer. Understand the generous Leo. Understand the shy, intelligent Virgo. Understand the sociable Libra. Understand the passionate Scorpios. Understand the good-humored Sagittarius. Understand the practical Capricorn. Understand the humanitarian Aquarius. Understand the imaginative Pisces.

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

More likely than not, you are already familiar with the basics of the solar houses, or astrological signs. Depending on when you were born, you fall under a different sign. This is based on the where the sun rises on the day you were born, creating your ascendant house. You can look up more complex breakdowns of each house, but you need to have the basics down before you start writing horoscopes.  The following descriptions are good starting points, but you'll need to consult 3-4 other sources of house information to get a deeper understanding of the houses.  While these houses form the basis of horoscopes, they are not the only determining factor. The movement of planets like Venus and Mars, lunar cycles, and birthplace all have an effect. True astrologers must keep researching and studying celestial bodies other than the sun to be successful. The first sign of the zodiac, Aries tend to have a lot of energy. They are a bit wild, adventurous, and confident. While this energy makes them dynamic and exciting companions, it can also make them selfish, foolhardy, and quick-tempered.  House of the Self, Appearance & Ego Drive. Ruled by Mars. Aries are born between March 21 and April 20. Taurus are reliable, patient, and generous companions. Generally more sedentary and relaxed than Aries, Taurus's can also become inflexible and even greedy. While they make great lovers and companions, that love can boil over into jealousy and possessiveness as well.  House of Personal Values and Finances. Ruled by Venus. Taurus are born between Apr 21 and May 21. Quick on their feet and very adaptable, Geminis are witty and cunning conversationalists.  Intelligent almost to a fault, Geminis are at risk for becoming deceitful and shallow. They can appear nervous or tense in the worst of times, but lively and youthful in the best.  House of Communication & Local Culture. Ruled by Mercury. Geminis are born between May 22 and June 21. The loving, deeply emotional Cancers are full of imagination. They are protective of the ones they...


Know the capacity of the mug. Add about one inch of milk and stir to completely mix the cocoa paste and milk. Put the mug in the microwave. Enjoy your hot chocolate!

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

Most are 10 oz. but some are more 8 ounces and some more than 10. Fill the rest of the mug with milk, up to about 1/2 an inch off the top.  The mix will expand about 5% on heating, so don't over-fill. For an 8 oz cup, heat (on highest setting) for one minute, 45 seconds. For a 10 oz cup, heat 2 minutes, 10 seconds. For the best results, use a double-boiler to steam the milk over the stove.


Know the causes and predisposing factors. Know the signs and symptoms. Know the different types of fistulas. Know the complications of an anal fistula.

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

Most cases are related to chronic inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease and tuberculosis. Others may result from diverticulitis, tumors, or chronic trauma. A surgery or an injury can lead to the production of a fistula, too, as in the case of biliary or arteriovenous fistulas.  Recto-vaginal fistulas may be secondary to Crohn's disease, obstetric injuries due to birth, radiation therapy or cancer. Fistulas in children or infants are mostly congenital affecting boys more than girls. Any fistula generally comes accompanied by these symptoms:  Constant discharge (pus) Pain (related to infection) Bleeding Pain in the abdomen Diarrhea Loss of appetite Weight loss Nausea and vomiting A fistula, by definition, is a tube-like tunnel with 2 openings: 1 primary opening leading to another exterior opening called the secondary opening. Many types of fistulas are known, but 90% of all fistulas are anorectal fistulas. Physically, they can take on the following forms:   Blind Fistula: A link between two surfaces; one end is closed and the other is opened. This can turn into a complete fistula if untreated.  Incomplete Fistula: A link has only one external opening.  Complete Fistula: A link between an internal opening and external opening.  Horseshoe Fistula: A link in a U shape, between two external openings around the anus. Unfortunately, a fistula's symptoms isn't where the problem stops — it can also lead to its own complications. They are the following:  Secretions that produce inflammation around the anal area Tumors of the anal canal Radial fungus disease (very rare) Exposure to severe trauma Cracks around the anal area Infections of the digestive tract Because of this, it is highly advised that you clean the anus well after using the toilet, observe the rules of public safety and personal hygiene, and use wipes after using the toilet and throw away after each use.


Know the causes. Understand how the disease spreads. Recognize the symptoms. Expect periodic outbreaks.

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

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted viral infection (STI).  It can be caused by the herpes simplex type 1 or type 2 (HSV-1 or HSV-2) viruses. Most cases of genital herpes are caused by HSV-2. HSV-1 more often causes sores or fever blisters on the mouth and lips. Genital herpes is spread by direct sexual contact, genitally, anally or orally, with someone who is infected. Transmission is more common if the individual has open sores, but HSV can be transmitted by a person without any obvious sores. Birth control doesn’t protect against HSV infection. Male or female condoms do not always protect you because the sores are not always located on the genitals, though condoms may decrease the risk.  You can infect your partner whether or not you are having an outbreak, although the risk is lowest between outbreaks. If you have any oral lesions, you should not give oral sex or receive oral sex from someone who has oral lesions. In men, the sores or lesions are usually on and around the penis or around the anus. In women, the sores may be around the genitals, the anus or located in the vagina. The sores or lesions in the vagina may not be noticed except during an examination and can cause discomfort and/or a vaginal discharge. The only way to prevent infection is to avoid having vaginal, anal or oral sex. Many people with genital herpes don’t have symptoms. Others can have mild outbreaks while others have severe outbreaks. Because of this, someone can pass along the infection without even knowing they have HSV. If a person does have symptoms, they usually get sores. Then fluid-filled blisters can form around the genitals or the rectum. The blisters can break, leaving tender areas. The sores may show up within 2 weeks of infection and can last for 2-3 weeks. Other common symptoms include an itching, tingling or a burning feeling in the genitals or in the anal area, flu-like symptoms, including fever, aches and pains, pain in the legs, buttocks, or genital area, vaginal discharge, swollen glands usually located in...


Know the common cold symptoms. Take cough medicine if you're excessively coughing. Try over the counter antihistamines and decongestants. Try gargling salt water to relieve the symptoms of a sore throat. Try zinc or vitamin C supplements within the first 24 hours of symptoms.

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

It's important to know the symptoms of a cold if you want to treat them! Fortunately, you can find over-the-counter treatments for most cold symptoms. When you have a cold, you may have all or some of the following symptoms, depending on the severity of your cold:  Fever Muscle pain Chills Fatigue Congestion Sinus pressure Cough, sometimes with phlegm Throat irritation Nasal congestion Runny nose Sneezing Redness Watery, itchy eyes Redness around your eyes Chest pressure Headache Swollen lymph nodes Colds can cause you to cough a lot, but an over-the-counter cough syrup can help. You can also use cough drops to help find relief.  Always follow the dosaging instructions on the label. Don't combine cough medications. Check with your doctor before taking any medication, especially if you're already taking something. For a non-invasive option, try a menthol product, such as Vick's vapor rub. These medications work differently to relieve cold symptoms.  Decongestants work to relieve swelling in the nasal passages to allow mucus to drain. Decongestants come in pill form or in nasal sprays. Adults shouldn't use decongestant nasal sprays for more than a few days at a time. Prolonged use can damage mucus membranes, which can cause a rebound effect due to swollen mucus membranes.  Children shouldn't use nasal sprays. Antihistamines may relieve sneezing and runny noses from colds. Antihistamines may cause drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how they will affect you. This can provide temporary relief from throat pain and scratchiness.  Mix 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt into an 8 ounce glass of water. Use warm water. Gargle the water in the back of your throat. Repeat as necessary. Zinc supplements are a popular home remedy for recovering from and preventing colds.  Zinc treatments are only shown to be effective if started within the first 24 hours of symptoms. Studies are conflicting as to the extent of the benefits of zinc for reducing or shortening cold symptoms. Zinc nasal sprays should...
