Check if your device is completely frozen. Remove the back cover. Remove the battery. Place back the battery. Restart your device.

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

Try pressing all the keys your Android device has and see if there’s any response. A device that has been frozen or completely stuck will not work no matter what button you press. Most, if not all, Android devices, regardless of the make and model, have accessible parts like its memory card, SIM card and battery, often at the back part. Back panels can be removed by prying it off from a notch you’ll see along the sides, or by simply sliding it off the phone. Flip the battery out of your device. The Android should shut down due to the absence of power, forcibly resetting your Android device. After a few moments, put the battery back and replace the back cover. Press the device’s Power button to switch it on. Your Android phone or tablet should resume its normal operation.


Check if your hair is healthy enough to withstand bleaching. Set aside an adequate amount of time. Choose the right bleach. Perform a strand test before starting. Soak your hair in melted coconut oil overnight.

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

There is no way to avoid the serious damage to hair that this amount of bleaching incurs.  Check with your hairdresser in advance to avoid disaster. Bleaching dark hair to blonde, especially platinum blonde or white, requires repeating the bleaching process multiple times with several days of rest in between. Don't expect to have gorgeous blonde locks immediately: you'll need to do this gradually. Since there will be intermediate stages when your hair is orange-tinged, coppery, or other not-quite-blonde colors, be ready to offset or mask these shades with hats, scarves, and other hair accessories. There are several choices in hair dye, and it is important that you choose the right one for your hair color.  Look for a bleach kit, which contains bleach powder and liquid peroxide. This is a stronger formula suitable for dark hair. Peroxide comes in different strengths, ranging from 10 volume to 40 volume. Note that 40 volume is too strong for general bleaching as it could burn the scalp. It is only used for tipping dark hair, in which case it does not come in contact with the skin. 30 volume will work more quickly than either 20 or 10 volume. This is crucial: it lets you see how long you need to let the dye sit in your hair to achieve the desired shade. Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for a strand-test included in the bleach kit. In general the steps are as follows:  Snip a few strands of hair from an inconspicuous place at the back of the head. Tie the strands together with a bit of string or tape them together at one end. Mix a small amount of the bleach powder and liquid peroxide per manufacturer's instructions. Dip the strands into the bleaching mix so that they are completely saturated. Set a timer or keep track of how much time passes during the test. Every five minutes, check the strands by wiping away the bleach with an old cloth. Reapply the bleach again, and repeat the process until you have the desired shade of blonde. Now you know how long to leave the bleach in your hair....


Check if your region settings changed. Check if you have a balance due.

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

If you recently changed regions for an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method and update your billing information. After doing so, you can remove your credit card from the account again. You cannot set a payment method as none if the Apple ID has a balance due. Update your payment information so that the balance can be paid, and then you can set your payment method to "None".


Check if your workplace has a standard template. Look online. Create a scheme of work from scratch.

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

Check with the administration at your institution to see if there is a specific template to be used for a scheme of work. Ideally, look at a scheme of work left by your predecessor. If one isn't available, ask a few colleagues if you can see their schemes of work and look for predominant commonalities between them to gauge what is expected at the institution. Schemes of work are available on teaching resource websites for purchase and download. Search for one to save yourself time in the lesson planning process, or to have a template to modify. Be sure that any school or department-specific requirements are acknowledged and listed on the document you end up with. For instance, schemes of work are available on Click Teaching, a teaching resource website that teachers can subscribe to for approximately $50 a year. Use a Word document (and  make a table on it) or create an Excel spreadsheet to write your schedule of work. Start by adding the basic information and add to the document as you wish (e.g. adding a column called “Initials” or “Signature” at the end of the chart to sign and show that a learning goal was completed on schedule . Create several main columns in the chart, labelled:  “Date” or “Lesson number”, to delineate each interval “Topic” (i.e. the overall subject matter of a specific unit) “Lesson content”: a brief overview of the lesson planned, which can be broken down into sub-topics “Specific objectives” “Learning Activities” “Resources” “Assessment” “Remarks”


Check if you’ll have access to beach chairs and umbrellas. Pack equipment for beach activities. Pack goodies for the kids. Pack snacks. Pack extra entertainment items.

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

During your time at the beach, you might want to have beach chairs and umbrellas on hand to make your holiday experience more comfortable. Check with your resort or hotel to see what equipment they provide.  If your resort has umbrellas or chairs, don’t bother packing them, especially if you are flying—they’ll take up a lot of room. You might want to snorkel, play volleyball, or boogie board. Think about the activities you’ll want to do during your beach holiday and pack the necessary equipment. Again, you should check with your resort or hotel to see what equipment they provide. If you’re traveling with kids, pack an assortment of sand and swim toys to keep them entertained. Floaties, shovels, and buckets are all fun options. Healthy snacks, like dried fruits or nuts, are easy to carry and will keep you fueled up during your holiday. Cold drinks are refreshing during a hot day at the beach. Snack boxes and sippy cups are great for little ones.  If you are traveling by car, you might want to bring a cooler to keep drinks cold and store fruit and other snacks. You might want to read a book on the beach, keep a travel journal, or watch movies on your laptop in the evenings. Think about those extra items that can make your holiday more enjoyable, and pack accordingly.   Bring a camera if you want to take photos, or use the camera on your phone to save room. Consider downloading books onto a tablet or e-reader to consolidate.


Check in the messiest parts of your house or area. Look under and around larger items. Check in small spaces to make sure the item hasn’t fallen or gotten stuck. Look in places where you’ve lost this object before. Check lost and found areas.

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

Studies have actually shown something you might’ve already guessed: that lost objects tend to get misplaced in the most cluttered areas of your home or workplace. Search this messy area systematically, shifting objects one at a time and placing them off to the side to look for your item. You might accidentally stack bigger objects on top of smaller objects, often without even realizing what you’re covering up. Move objects off of surfaces and check under them thoroughly to make sure your item isn’t caught underneath. For example, you might have set a stack of papers over your phone, or tossed your keys near some jewelry that camouflages them perfectly. You’ll often recover lost objects in the car, wedged into a sofa, or dropped in a corner on the floor. Narrow the recovery zone down to the most likely places—the last place you remember having the object, and anywhere you may have taken it since—and look in every nook and cranny there. Do you tend to lose track of this object often? If so, it might be in the same place that it turned up last time. Think about where it tends to gravitate towards and check that area thoroughly. You can also check areas where you tend to lose items that of similar size, shape, or use.  For example, you may leave your keys in the lock, find your glasses on your head, or forget your computer bag in your car. If you’ve lost your sunglasses, for example, think about where your normal glasses tend to be, especially when you think you’ve lost them. If you lost the item outside the home, you might ask the facilities where you’ve been that day whether they have a lost and found bin. Your item may have gotten turned in, and could be waiting for you to claim it there. Places with lost and found areas include schools and event areas like stadiums, concerts, and theaters.


Check in with her a bit when you're apart. Be the last thing she thinks about at night. Give her something that reminds her of you. Write her a sweet note. Ask her questions to show an interest in her life. Treat her well when you're together. Leave your conversations on a good note.

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

If you want the girl to miss you when you're not together, then you have to remind her of your presence from time to time. Send her a text to say hi or to see how her day is going, or give her a quick call to tell her about what you've been up to. You can also send her an email from work or shoot her a quick text when you're away with your friend for the weekend. Make sure you talk to her just enough that she doesn't forget about you, but that she also doesn't feel smothered by you, either.  If you're apart, make sure you're not always the one getting in touch first. You can call or text her from time to time, but you shouldn't make her take you for granted and feel like you'll always call even if she doesn't. If you know she has something important coming up, such as a job interview or a volleyball game, then check in with her to wish her luck. If it just happened, check in to see how it went. This will show her that you care and that you are paying attention, even if you're not always around. One trick to getting the girl to miss you is to make sure you're on her mind as she's getting ready for bed. You can send her a sweet text or plan your phone calls so you talk to her later in the evening, so she thinks of you as she goes to bed and maybe even dreams about you. She also may wake up thinking about the great conversation you had—and will miss you even more as a result.  Talking to her before she gets ready for bed will give you a better chance of really capturing her attention. She'll be winding down and will be able to focus on you more easily instead of talking to you while having a million other things going on at the same time. Of course, make sure it's okay for her to talk on the phone late at night—you don't want her to get in trouble with her parents. Another way to make sure that the girl misses you is to give her something that makes it so you're never far from her mind. It can be a necklace you gave her for her birthday, a letter you wrote to her, a sweatshirt that smells like you that you let...


Check in with others. Set guidelines for social interaction. Tell the other person how you’re feeling. Respect your differences.

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

Introverts can sometimes forget that not everyone feels “recharged” from being alone. Remember to check in with friends and loved ones, even if just to say “hello.” Being the person to initiate that contact is a more extroverted trait, but it’s not so hard to do with a little practice. Social media can be a good way to practice making the first move in your relationships. Send a friend a friendly Tweet. Post a funny cat picture on your sibling’s Facebook wall. Initiating contact with other people, even in small ways, will help you embrace your extroverted side. If you’re in a relationship with someone who is more extroverted than you are, you can ask them to help you embrace your extroverted traits. However, you will benefit from discussing what you like and don’t like about socializing. Set guidelines for how you will manage your different needs.  For example, an extrovert may really need to frequently socialize with others to feel fulfilled. Even though you’re trying to be more open and outgoing, you still may not want to socialize as much as your partner. Allowing your partner to go out on his or her own sometimes will let you stay home and recharge, so you’ll both be happy. You can ask your partner to invite you to social occasions. Even if you don’t necessarily feel thrilled to go, try to go out occasionally. Having someone you know and trust with you will help you feel more at ease. Because they can be very inner-focused, introverts may not always remember to express their feelings to others. It can be hard for other people, especially those who are very extroverted, to tell if you’re enjoying yourself or if you’re desperate to hide. Tell other people how you’re feeling before they have to ask.  For example, if you’re at a party with a friend, tell him or her “I’m having a great time!” You may naturally be more reserved or quiet, but that doesn’t mean you have to be a complete mystery. Similarly, if you run out of gas at a social gathering before others -- and you might -- be clear about that too. You...


Check in with your date. Clean up your place. Charge your phone and keep it with you. Make sure you have a way of paying. Know how to get there. Try to relax.

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

Give your date a call or text him or her to confirm everything the day of. You want to make sure that you're both on the same page about details like time and place you're meeting. If you're getting dinner and you're the one picking the restaurant, make sure to be considerate of your date's food preferences. Be sure to ask your date if there are any foods they won't eat, whether due to medical issues, religious beliefs, or personal tastes. For example, if your date is vegetarian, don't take him or her to a steakhouse. Likewise, if your date has a gluten sensitivity, check the menu for wheat-free options before hitting up a pizza place. You never know how your date may go, and the two of you may end up back at your place. You don't want your date to think you're a slob, so really take some time to clean if your place is a mess. Pay special attention to your living room, bedroom, and bathroom. While you shouldn't be fiddling with it during dinner, your phone is important to have ready just in case.  If you get lost on the way there or while heading back home, you can use your phone's GPS for help. If either you or your date is running late or has to cancel because of a last-minute emergency, you'll need your phone for communication. If you want to keep the night going and head to a cafe or bar after your planned destination, you can use your phone to help find the best place nearby. Even if your date ends up treating you, make sure you have the ability to at least offer to pay. Double-check that your preferred credit card is in your wallet and that your wallet is in your purse or jacket pocket. It's also a good idea to have cash to make splitting the bill easier or just in case the place you're going doesn't take credit cards. Have your purse or wallet ready ahead of time. In addition to money, pack gum, breath mints, tampons, pads, condoms, and/or a phone charger. Look up directions at least a few hours ahead of time. You can always us a GPS app on your phone, but you should definitely figure out how long...


Check in with your friend or loved one to see if they're okay. Let them know you are there for them. Ask them what you can do. Listen to them if they want to talk. Validate their feelings. Reassure them that their situation can change. Challenge their negative self-talk without being confrontational.

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

If you're concerned that someone you know may be dealing with stress, reach out and ask them how they're doing. This can not only give you a better idea of what's going on with them, but will reassure them that you care about them and are thinking about their wellbeing.  Say something like, “Hey, you've seemed kind of anxious and tired lately. Is everything okay?” If they're not in the mood to talk about it, respect their wishes. Just let them know that you are there if they ever want to talk. It's possible your friend or loved one doesn't even realize they are stressed out. Asking them how they're doing may encourage them to reflect on their feelings and recognize that they are struggling. Your friend or loved one may be afraid or embarrassed to reach out for help or support. Without being pushy or confrontational, let them know that you are worried about them and assure them that you want to help. Try saying something like, “I'm concerned about you, and I'd like to help in any way I can. Please don't be afraid to talk to me or let me know if there's anything I can do.” Don't assume you know what someone needs when they are stressed out. They may be looking for practical solutions, or they may just want to vent or even find a distraction from their worries. Instead of rushing to try and solve their problems, ask them for guidance about what you can do.  You could start by simply asking, “How can I help?” If they're not sure how to respond to such an open-ended question, offer some specific suggestions. For example, “Do you want to talk about it?” or “Would it help to go do something fun for a while?” Sometimes just talking it out can help stress feel more manageable. If your friend or loved one says they want to talk, listen actively to what they have to say. Let them do most of the talking, and resist the urge to jump in or offer suggestions unless they ask you to.  Give them your full attention while they are talking. Put away your phone and turn off any noisy distractions, like the TV or radio. Be...


Check into a hotel. Grab some friends and hit an amusement park. Create your own film festival. Get outside. Take a day trip. Read a book for fun. Catch up on TV.

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

Just because you aren't leaving town, that doesn't mean you can't have the vacation experience. Check into a hotel with some friends or your family and explore your town as if you were tourists. Most theme parks have extended hours during spring break. Get together with your friends or family and pick out a dozen or so movies to watch in the theater and at home. Don't forget the popcorn! Take advantage of spring weather with friends or family. Take a trip to a nearby beach. Go hiking in the wood or mountains. Rent a canoe or go tubing. Or simply take a long walk to enjoy spring. Even though you might not have headed to some exotic locale, you can still get out of town. Plan a day trip  to a small town or big city. Visit an historic site. The options are endless. Now is your chance to put aside your schoolbooks and dig into that best-seller you've been meaning to read. Or to try a classic that you haven't had time for. A great book can be a vacation in itself. If school work has been keeping you away from your favorite shows, Spring Break is the perfect time to catch up with a little binge watching.


Check into company policies. Identify high and low output periods in your team’s schedule. Determine the scope and budget of your plan. Meet with managers and supervisors. Enlist help.

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

Depending on the size of your company there may be company-wide policies in place you should review before planning your employee appreciation day.  Some companies require recreational activities be reported to corporate for tracking purposes.  This is particularly common in large companies where different departments or locations may get jealous of what goes on in your location.  Speak to your local human resources officer if you are unsure where to check for company policies. Some companies prefer that you report these types of events because they can aid in recruitment. Depending on the industry your company is in, there may be busy and slower periods in your schedule.  Manufacturing tends to be busiest near the end of the month to fill orders, whereas retail businesses may have sales, events or inventory-counts to schedule around.  You should schedule your employee appreciation day during one of the slower output periods of time to alleviate stress caused by missing work or impending deadlines. You may want to plan your employee appreciation day for soon after a particularly busy period of time. Come up with a few possible dates to use when presenting the plan to managers, supervisors or human resources. Your budget will dictate how you proceed in planning your employee appreciation day.  You will need to consider how many employees will be participating in the day’s festivities and whether or not you are going to open the event up to their families.  Determine how many people you anticipate will be coming to the event so you can get a sense of how much food you will need and begin to ballpark financial figures.  If you have a budget set before you begin, you can use that to guide your decisions about whether or not to invite families. Food is an important part of an employee appreciation event, but remember to keep room in your budget for entertainment like music or activities. Once you have an idea of your budget and when you’d like to throw the employee appreciation day, meet with team leaders within...


Check it monthly. Remove the filter. Replace fabric and charcoal filters. Soak metal filters in cleaner and water.

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

Clean the hood itself on a daily or weekly basis, but don’t worry about dealing with the filter that often (unless you happen to deep-fry a lot of foods on a regular basis). Inspect it once a month. If it appears stained or splattered, plan on cleaning or replacing it ASAP. Filters can be secured into place in a number of different ways. Give yours a look over. It will probably be attached by:  A fastener that you can rotate in and out of position. A latch that you need to press and lift. Rim supports that just need to be pushed up and rotated. Screws. If you have either of these types, do not attempt to clean them. Simply switch the old one out and install a new one. However, with charcoal filters, keep in mind that you only need to replace these if you have a ductless range hood. A ductless range hood means the exhaust fan is recirculating air right back into the kitchen. If the exhaust is being ventilated out of the house through ducts, you shouldn’t need to replace your charcoal filter. Fill your sink with hot water. Add dish soap or the recommended amount of a stronger cleaner (like Super Clean or OxiClean) to degrease it. Let it soak for ten minutes up to a half hour, then agitate it in the water to shake off any loose dirt. Use a bristle brush to scrub any stubborn bits. Then rinse clean under a strong jet of water (like your faucet’s sprayer attachment). After that: Set the filter on a clean towel or drying rack and allow it to air-dry before reinstalling.


Check local guidelines. Rinse if required. Remove all non-glass parts. Sort the glass by color if required. Check the batch for other objects.

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

Most recycling programs accept all types of glass containers for food and drink. But a minority will only accept certain colors, and many have extra sorting guidelines. Look these up before you begin:  Search Earth911 in the US for detailed information. Your local government website may have information on curbside recycling programs. Look for printed labels on your curbside collection bins. If you have no curbside collection, search online for recycling centers nearby. Contact them to ask about glass requirements. Many recycling centers ask that you give food containers a quick rinse. You never need to scrub them spotless. Even if it's quite dirty, it will usually get used — but it will earn the recycling center less money. This saves roughly 1–2 US pints (950 ml) (0.5–1 liters) of water compared to making a new glass bottle. More importantly, the energy savings and reduced pollution far outweigh the cost of washing. Take off all plastic or metal bottle caps, foil wine collars, and other non-glass materials. One stray piece could ruin an entire batch, or limit how it can be used.  Paper labels are usually removed by the recycling center. Check your local guidelines if you are unsure. Ceramics are not recyclable. A plate or flowerpot can ruin a whole batch of glass. Many recycling programs ask you to sort glass by color. Each color contains different ingredients with different qualities. Mixed-color glass batches are in low demand, since it's hard to predict their quality.  Almost any program accepts clear and amber (brown) glass. Most accept green. A few accept blue. Some areas have "single stream" recycling pickup, combining all types of glass, or even mixing them with metal and plastic. One study shows that this reduces the percentage of usable glass from 90% to 60%. Switch to a more effective program if possible. Recycled glass is crushed into "cullet," then reheated to fuse into a new object. The wrong type of glass can ruin an entire batch by melting or fusing at the wrong time. The following should...


Check local laws before establishing a feeding area. Make sure that you locate your food plot away from roadways. Plant a food plot. Choose food for your plot that is not already plentiful in your area. Choose a location that is fairly well drained and not subject to erosion or flooding for your food plot. Clear away brush and trees from the plot. Test the soil for ph and nutrients, matching these to the crop you are going to plant. Spread fertilizer in the area to spur plant growth. Spread the seeds according to package instructions. Keep the food plot away from other plants or gardens if you don't want deer to eat those too. Provide the deer with a water source.

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

In many states, feeding deer at certain times of the year is illegal and is discouraged. Deer that are fed may become nuisances to people. Deer might not come close if there is a lot of traffic nearby, and luring deer into the path of traffic can have serious consequences. A food plot is an area of land that you clear and seed with plants that deer like to eat. You could also plant several food plots throughout your property.  Deer are drawn to crops that are high in protein, such as kale, turnips, soybeans, peas, and alfalfa. A mix of plants that include clover and grasses, like wheat, oats and rye, will attract deer. Experts suggest that you plant 60 percent cool-season perennials like clovers, 20 percent cool-season annuals like turnip and kale, and 20 percent warm-season annuals, like corn, soybeans and alfalfa.  Deer also like nuts such as chestnuts and acorns. While it may be a long wait for results, planting mast trees such as these will eventually offer deer some of their favorite foods when the trees begin to bear nuts.  Other trees that produce fruit deer like are persimmons, pears, and apples. Determine which trees will succeed in your location. Thus, if there are cornfields nearby, planting corn might not be as productive.  Some hunting stores sell seed mixes that are created specifically for deer food plots. Local seed stores also can sell bulk seed to allow you to create your own blend, with winter peas, fescue, vetch, and sun hemp. Planting on steep terrain or in a flood plain isn't a good idea. Depending on the plot size and the density of the existing vegetation, you may find you need a tractor with suitable implements to clear and prepare the ground for planting. As a general rule, a ph between 6.0 and 7.5 will support plant growth, beyond this range and you may need to add amendments to modify the soil chemistry. You will need to try to incorporate the fertilizer into the top 4 inches of soil so it doesn't run off during rain. Usually, grains like oats and rye are applied at about 40-50...


Check local ordinances to ensure using a tow strap is legal. Untangle the tow rope and lay it out in front of the vehicle. Inspect the tow rope for damage. Locate the “recovery point” on the frame of each vehicle. Run the strap or hook through the recovery point on the broken down vehicle. Position the tow vehicle in front of the broken down one. Attach the tow strap to the back of the tow vehicle. Pull the tow vehicle forward slowly until the strap is tight. Lay a jacket or blanket on the strap. Pull the broken down vehicle very slowly.

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

Tow straps are generally considered to be the least safe way to tow a vehicle, and as such, laws may have been passed against the practice where you live. Locate a list of city and state ordinances pertaining to towing and make sure using a tow strap doesn't violate any local laws.  There are no nationwide laws banning the use of tow straps. It's recommended that you only use tow straps for short trips or in off-road settings. Place the end of the tow rope that you'll be connecting to the broken down vehicle in front of it, then work any knots or tangles out of the rope as you lay it down on the ground extended out from the vehicle.  This will help you position the tow vehicle properly. Do not use a tow rope with a knot or tangle in it. If your tow rope is torn or frayed, it could break under pressure when you begin pulling the broken down vehicle. Look the entire tow strap over for any sign of damage and don't use the strap if you spot some.  This will not only leave you stranded, but it can also be very dangerous. You can purchase a new tow rope at your local auto parts store if the one you have is damaged. Many vehicles have “recovery points” on the frame, which are often just holes cut into the frame that you can run a recovery strap through or use a steel hook on. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual to help find the recovery point on the front of the vehicle to be towed, and on the back of the vehicle doing the towing.  If you still can't find your vehicle's recovery point, refer to an application specific service or repair manual. Recovery points are always located on the vehicle's frame and are usually circular holes cut through thick steel. Run the strap through the hole for the recovery point. If it has a hook, use it to hook the strap to itself through the recovery point. If it has a loop at the end, run the strap through the recovery point hole, then run the end of the strap through its own loop to secure it in place. Once you're done, lay the strap flat on the ground extended out in front of...


Check local regulations on keeping chickens. Decide what chicken breeds to keep. Decide how many to buy. Make space for the chickens before you bring them home.

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

Most communities permit keeping chickens, but there may be zoning codes you should follow. You may need to get a permit or a signed agreement from neighbors before you're allowed to set up a coop. Each state and local municipality have slightly different codes, so be sure to check up on the laws in your area before making any purchases. Check your local homeowner association rules.  Some communities limit the number of chickens you can keep. There may also be a limit on the size of the coop you can have in your yard. Others limit the number of crowing chickens, or roosters, you're allowed to have. This is more common in areas that are densely populated. Chicks might look the same when they're little, but different breeds grow up to have very different qualities. Some chickens are great egg layers, others have sweet pet-like personalities, and still others are good if you want chicken meat. Do some research to find out which breeds to get before starting your coop.  For example, if you want a breed that reliably produces good eggs, choose a layer breed. Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpington, and Australorp are all layer breeds.  If you're interested in chickens that lay eggs and provide good meat, you need a dual-purpose breed such as Silver Laced Wyandottes, Ameraucana and New Hampshire.  Broiler chickens are raised primarily for meat. These include Jumbo Cornish Cross and Heavy Man Special. Chickens are a flock animal and perform better in flocks of at least 6 or more, so it's a good idea to get more than one. A healthy chicken will typically lay 1 egg each cycle (about 1 egg every 25 hours) five or six eggs per week, so keep that in mind when you're deciding how many to get. Most small coops start with four to six chickens. If one falls ill or gets eaten by a predator, you'll still have plenty of chickens to produce eggs.  Once you know how many you want, you can choose to buy them from a disease-free licensed hatchery, reputable breeder or at your local farm store in small quantities. If you want to order them...


Check local stores. Visit flea markets. Purchase half dollars from coin dealers. Use a metal detector.

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

Antique stores are an excellent place to find vintage silver coins. Ask your local shop owners if they collect or sell "junk silver," the antique term for old coins in good condition. If so, inspect their coin collection for silver half dollars. Thrift shops may also carry vintage coins, depending on their policies. Ask friends who work in retail to put aside half dollars for you. You can come into their store and trade your paper money for their half dollars, which you can then inspect. Search in your local classifieds for flea market listings. When you arrive, move from booth to booth and look for vendors selling coins. If you find a silver half dollar, ask your vendor questions about where they obtained it and whether they have a certificate of authenticity for the coin. If you want to get up early on the weekends, check garage and estate sales. Someone nearby may be selling their personal coin collections. Yard sales aren't a guaranteed place to find silver coins, but you never know. Look for reputable coin dealers in your area and ask if they have silver half dollars for sale. Dealers often work with a variety of coins, and you're likely to find at least one who sells half dollars. Find a dealer who is an Authorized Purchaser working with the U.S. Mint. This guarantees that your coin dealer is professional and safe. Most Authorized Purchasers have been in the business for over five years and have a strong client base. Buy or build a metal detector and go searching in local areas. The best spots to look for coins are urban areas, like beaches, ski resorts, or campsites. Metal detecting will help you find a variety of old coins: you never know whether you'll get lucky and find a silver half dollar.  Heavily-trafficked areas are best for finding coins. While you can metal detect in the countryside or forests, you are unlikely to find what you're looking for. For older coins, visit old areas. A building constructed in the last ten years might not have older coins, but a building fifty or more years old might...


Check on any local restrictions. Apply for a permit. Choose your materials. Decide on a style.

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

It's important to check that your fence is not illegal before you build it! If there are any restrictions on fences in your neighborhood or in your city, then all your hard work can be torn down. Check with your local planning department and neighborhood association before you get too far into the process. Most cities require a building permit in order to place a fence. Get one to ensure that both you and your fence are safe! Many electrical, gas and sewer lines, as well as water mains are buried at the levels you will be digging to. When you apply for a permit, you should also call 811 to request that your local utility companies come out to the site and mark any areas where pipes and wires are located. This will help to ensure the safety of your project. You'll want to be sure that you're using wood that will last a long time, right? If you use the best woods and treat them well, a wood fence can last 20 years or more. But choose the wrong wood and your fence might only make it 5 years. Consult with your local lumberyard to find the best wood for your area, but treated woods are usually your best option. There are also lots of different styles of wood fences. Do some research before you start so that you don't end up with builder's remorse! There are picket, lattice, concave, convex, board on board, shadowbox, privacy, and many other styles with just as many variations within each style. Each style also has specifics of how the fence should be built and how the boards should be placed. The information in this article is general and can apply broadly to many fence styles, but you might want to find specifics on your fence style to compliment these instructions.


Check on your baby now and then. Extend your baby’s arms. Consider using a reflux wedge. Get a baby hammock. Try a co-sleeper. Elevate the head of your baby’s crib.

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

Although it might be difficult, you may need to check on your baby often for the first few nights to make sure that he stays on his back and does not roll over. If you notice your baby moving onto his side, then you can gently turn him onto his back again. Extending your baby’s arms may also help to keep her in position. Some babies will stay on their backs if you extend their arms out to both sides. Try gently extending your baby’s arms when you lay her down to sleep. A reflux wedge will raise your baby’s upper body, which may make him feel more comfortable. A reflux wedge may be especially helpful if your baby dislikes back sleeping due to acid reflux or GERD. You can find a reflux wedge for your baby in most large department stores. To use a reflux wedge, place it under your baby’s back before you lay him down for a nap or for bedtime. Make sure that your baby is centered on the wedge. You may also want to try placing your baby in a baby hammock instead of a crib. A baby hammock will keep your baby in a slightly upright position and prevent your baby from rolling onto her side or stomach. These may also be especially helpful for babies with GERD. Co-sleepers are bassinets that attach to the parent's bed. They make it easy to have your baby close to you without the danger of rolling onto your baby in the night. Co-sleepers also provide an easy way for you to check on your baby and reposition him as needed. For example, if your baby moves onto his side, then you can gently move him so that he is on his back. Elevating the head of your baby’s crib is another good way to make her feel more comfortable while sleeping on her back. Purchase special blocks specifically for this purpose. Place the blocks under the feet at the head of your baby’s crib to elevate the head of the crib by about 15 to 30 degrees.


Check on your vegetables as they cook.

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

The steam time for vegetables will vary considerably, depending on how thick they are and how large or small you cut them. As a general rule, though, most vegetables will be steamed in approximately 3 to 10 minutes. Most veggies will have a brighter, more vivid coloration after steaming, which lets you know that they're ready.  Asparagus spears that are thin should steam in about four minutes. Thicker spears may take around five to six minutes. Broccoli will steam in about five minutes. You should be able to visually tell when broccoli is ready, as it will get darker in color. Brussels sprouts will take about 10 minutes to steam. Carrots sliced 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick will steam in approximately six to eight minutes. Cauliflower florets will steam in about six minutes. Green beans will be steamed in approximately five minutes.  Kale will take five to ten minutes. Peas steam rather quickly. They generally only need about three minutes on the stovetop. Zucchini slices should steam in about six or seven minutes, depending on how thinly they're sliced.

Check out her emojis. Look for memes. Notice what time of day she is texting you. Pay attention if she sends you pictures.

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

When someone is sending you a string of heart-themed emojis, this is a good indicator that they are interested in you. The more emojis, the better. By sending you these fun emoticons, she’s is letting you know that she’s clever and funny. Certain emojis, like the kissy face or lips, are often used to show interest in something more than just friendship. If you’ve got a girl texting you memes, she’s likely trying to get your attention and build a connection with you. By sharing memes, which are generally meant to elicit a laugh, she may be trying to create an inside joke or play off something you both already find humorous. Humor is a great way to reach out and connect with someone and she may be trying to determine if you share the same sense of what is funny. Laughter and humor are important in lot of relationships, including friendship. If a girl is texting you late at night or first thing in the morning, she’s letting you know that you’re the last thing on her mind before she falls asleep and the first person she thinks about when she wakes up. She also may be trying to make sure she’s on your mind just as often. Regular “good morning” and “good night” texts are a good indicator that someone likes you. Photos of herself or pictures of what she’s doing throughout the day can mean she’s trying to give you a peek into her world. She’s trying to establish your interest in her life by sharing what she’s doing and seeing. She may even ask for your input or advice about things she shows you. Photos of her day are a way for someone to show that they are thinking of you and that they want you to be involved in their life.


Check out his profile first. Ask for help. Ask for recommendations. Use fake recognition. Make him laugh. Try a compliment.

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

See what common interests you have before initiating a conversation, so you have something to talk about. If most of his profile is set to private, you can ask him about his favorite movie or book to help get the conversation started. For instance, you could say, "I see your profile is set to private, so I'm curious why you're hiding your favorite book from people. What do you like to read?" Most people are willing to chat for a few minutes if you need some help. So ask for help with a problem you're having. If you don't actually have one, you could ask something about Facebook, such as the following: "I can never figure out how to break up my paragraphs in a post without making the post send. Do you know how to do that?" If you're new to the area (or even if you're not), try asking him for restaurant recommendations as a way to open up the conversation. Try asking a question such as "Hi, I'm new to the area. Can you recommend any good Japanese or Thai places in the area?" If he says yes, ask him if he'd be willing to meet you at one. That is, ask him if you've met him before. You can mention a place you go often. He'll say "no," but you can move on from there. For instance, you could say, "Have I met you before? You look so familiar. Do you go the Panera Bread on 10th Street?" People love to laugh, so you can draw him in by making him laugh. The best jokes are ones that will connect you. If you see he likes the same sports team as you, you could make a joke about how bad the team is doing, such as "I noticed you liked our local baseball team. They're doing so bad this year, I think my kid's little league team could beat them." People like to hear good things about themselves. Pick something you notice on his profile. It can be about his appearance, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, studies show that compliments not focused on appearance work best. You could comment on his taste in books: "You have great tastes in books! I loved The Ocean at the End of the Lane, too."


Check out music databases. Use digital music aggregators. Read music journalism.

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

There’s a wealth of information about music that will help you not only learn more about what you like and listen to, but will provide you with many new suggestions to listen to. Try a site like AllMusic, which is essentially an online encyclopedia of music and even has options to stream music so you can listen as you browse. To navigate this site, search for an artist you like and check out the “Related” tab near the top of the artist page. This page lists 1) artists which influenced your artist, 2) artists which are similar to your artist, and 3) artists which were influenced by your artists. These are web-based technologies that collect music from all sources and consolidate it in one place. They can come in the form of apps or websites and are extremely useful for finding new music that is similar to what you like.  For example, the website If You Dig allows you to simply type in an artist you like and it will suggest related artists. Other options abound, including Gnod which describes itself as a “search engine for music you don’t know about” and Spotify, a commercial music service, that has a range of options, including radios and lists of similar artists, to help you find music you will enjoy.  If you are outside of the United States, the collection of music you can access may be limited due to copyright restrictions. Luckily, there are still other music aggregators that are not geo-restricted and you can access these from anywhere around the world. Check out Earbits Radio, Musicovery, or Shuffler.fm. Turning to the critics, such as Rolling Stone and Pitchfork, can help you find new music. Music journalists are taste-makers for a good reason. They tend to have an in-depth knowledge of music, including specific bands’ influences and peers.

Check out the Department Store. Visit the Celadon Mansion to open Saffron City. Get an Eevee. Beat Erika at the Celadon City Gym. Take on Team Rocket in the Rocket Game Corner to get the Silph Scope. Take the Silph Scope back to Lavender Town.

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

The Celadon City Department Store is one of the best places to buy items in the game. You can get a variety of TMs and stones here, as well as any recovery item. You can also buy Great Balls, which are perfect for capturing elusive Pokemon. Talk to the Old Lady on the first floor of the Mansion to receive some Tea. Take this to the guard outside of the Saffron City gates to gain access to the City. If you take a party of five or less Pokémon to the back door of the Mansion, you can get an Eevee from the Know-It-All Man. Expose it to a Water Stone, Thunderstone, or Fire Stone to get a Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon. Erika will likely be one of the easiest Gym Leaders that you face. This is because she uses Grass-type Pokemon, which have a large number of weaknesses. Fire, Ice, Bug, and Flying will all be effective against her Pokemon. Walk into the arcade and examine the poster in the back. You'll find a switch here, which will reveal the entrance to the Team Rocket hideout. You'll have to make your way through several floors of Rocket goons before facing off against Giovanni. Giovanni's team are vulnerable to Grass, Water, and Fighting Pokemon. Defeating Giovanni will cause him to leave his Silph Scope behind. You can use the Silph Scope to see the ghosts in the Pokémon Tower and access the upper levels.


Check out the clearance rack. Visit thrift stores and consignment shops. See what’s available online. Compare prices as you shop. Shop off-season. Consider less expensive play clothes.

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

Be sure to take a look at the clearance rack to see if anything catches your eye. Everything here will be discounted. Clearance racks are usually in the back of stores. Thrift stores and consignment shops often carry gently used, decent quality clothing items for a reduced price. This is great for fast-growing kids, who may only be able to use an item for a few months before they grow out of it. Thrift stores and consignment shops are great options for babies and toddlers, who grow extra fast. If you know the child’s size, try doing some online shopping. Online shopping is fast and convenient, and online stores can offer great deals on children’s clothing.  Beware—it may be hard to assess clothing quality or fit when shopping online. Be sure to check the online store’s return policy in the event that an item doesn’t fit. Don’t forget to wash the clothing items you buy before use. To get the best deal, you’ll need to see how clothing prices stack up. Compare in store prices, and use your smartphone to compare in store prices with those online in real time. Shopping off-season--buying summer clothes in late fall and winter clothes during the spring--can save you a great deal of time and money. Don't forget to buy clothes a size or half size up! When buying play clothes for children, consider less expensive items. These will likely get stained and ripped, especially if they are worn to the park.


Check out the existing spaces in the sailboat. Consider creating a space for the laptop. When not in use, find a suitable storage spot for the laptop.

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

Naturally, given the portability of a laptop, you can probably sit just about anywhere and use it but it might not be comfortable or practical having it on your lap all the time. Is there a suitable space where the laptop can stay most of the time? Is this space likely to be safe or do you need to make modifications to ensure that the laptop won't slide off in heavy seas? Laptops can be banged around and easily dropped if the seas get rough and this won't do the laptop any good. Be prepared to ensure that it is kept safe. If you can't see a naturally suitable spot already on the sailboat, consider making one. A simple fold-down table with wooden barriers built around the sides of it could work well as a quick-to-build solution for where to place the laptop. One good solution is to get a lined/padded aluminum waterproof/ water resistant case or bag that can be slipped under a bunk, into a storage cupboard, etc., and will keep the laptop safe when not in use. And see the moisture-safety steps below, such as adding a desiccant and it's prudent to use a dry-bag around the case or bag for added protection; a dry-bag can ensure that the laptop remains dry should it fall overboard unexpectedly when moving cargo, leaving at port, etc.


Check out the site's sidebar for additional data.

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

Among other things, this information includes the satellite's speed, elevation, and altitude. The sidebar also provides a forecast (with a corresponding map) of the satellite's movement in the next 5 days.


Check out the weather at your destination(s) before you go. Plan your wardrobe to match your itinerary. Choose multi-functional items. Pack several lightweight layers. Look into your accommodation’s facilities to see if there is laundry service. Make a packing list.

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

Look online or check the area’s news forecast to get an idea of what the weather will be during your trip. Pack items that will work well for the weather, and leave behind pieces that aren’t seasonally appropriate.  Is it going to rain? Pack a rain jacket or something that can get wet and dry quickly. If it is going to be hot, pack shorts. On the other hand, if it’s going to be snowing the whole time, you can probably leave your shorts at home, no matter how good they look. Think about what you will be doing on your trip, and pick clothes that match your agenda. If, for example, you want to spend most of your time at the beach, focus on packing swimsuits and lightweight clothes. If you’re packing for a business trip, though, you may want to focus more on professional attire like collared shirts and blazers. If you can, try planning each day in advance. Pack in outfits, rather than singular items. This will help you decide exactly what pieces of clothing to take. While some trips may require certain outfits for special occasions, most trips don’t. In those cases, look for items that can be dressed up or dressed down depending on what you need for that day. Try to keep items in the same complimentary color palette to make sure everything you bring goes together.  Instead of bringing a different dress for walking around during the day and going out at night, for example, try bringing one cute and comfortable black dress. Pair it with a cardigan or sweater to dress it down, or let it stand by itself for a night out. Save shoe space by opting to bring one or two pairs of neutral tone shoes that can go with multiple outfits. A pair of black ankle boots with a chunky heel, for example, can take the place of a pair of casual flats, formal heels, and sturdy trainers for walking around town. Light layers typically work well for both warm and cool weather. If you plan on visiting multiple climates, pack items like basic t-shirts, light jackets and sweatshirts, and scarves that can easily be put on and removed as...


Check out what other guests have worn to determine the dress code. Dress more extravagantly if the opera is on a weekend night. Pick out a creative costume if there's a theme night for your show.

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

Dress codes are less and less common these days at opera houses. However, some still do require a certain level of formality, whether it's business casual or even black tie. Look on the opera house's website or browse social media to see what past guests have worn to that particular venue.  For example, the Met has an Instagram account called “Last Night at the Met” (@lastnightatthemet) that showcases styles worn by attendees. You can also call the front desk to ask what their rules are. If you aren't sure of the dress code, always err on the side of more formal. The day and time of the show will affect how formal the opera is. Weekend and evening shows tend to be dressier whereas weekday or matinee shows are more casual. For example, you likely wouldn't wear a floor-length gown to an 11 a.m. showing on a Tuesday.  Depending on the theater, a weekday matinee show could be as informal as a business casual dress code. You might see women in pantsuits or blouses and pencil skirts, for example. The location and show itself can also affect the dress code. For instance, a fancy opera house in Vienna will be more formal than an opera being put on at the local college. While dressing up in costume is not typical, some opera houses will host special theme nights. For example, if you're attending “Pirates of Penzance,” you might wear a full pirate costume or sea wench dress. Call the box office ahead of time or check the opera house's website to determine if there's a theme. Even if there's no theme, you can still get outfit inspiration from the show. For instance, wear a Japanese-inspired gown with floral embellishments or drape a kimono over your outfit to a showing of “The Mikado.”


Check regulations in your area. Designate a room for work only. Purchase a desk. Decorate tastefully. Keep it clean and organized.

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

In order to have customers visit your home for business purposes, you may have to comply with certain health, fire, and building codes pertaining to your home office. It is even possible that you will not be able to establish a home office without a separate entrance for your office and a minimum square footage for your space. Check your city and state government websites for specific information.  You may also have to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations for your home office, which could include making your home office accessible to wheelchairs. Certain safety precautions may be required for your office space, such as having a smoke detector and/or a fire extinguisher in the room. Your home office should be a dedicated area within your home that is used solely for business purposes. This conveys professionalism to your customers, who probably don't want to see your kids' toys strewn across the floor of your office. If possible, select a room in your home close to the building entrance so your customers don't have to trek through your house to get there.  Whether or not your local or state building codes require it, having a separate entrance for your office space is a great feature, as it helps keep your home and work spaces separate and preserves your family's privacy. Put a lock on the door that lead from your home into your office. This will keep children, house guests, etc. from getting into your workspace when they shouldn't. You will need to have a desk in your home office that you can sit behind while working with customers. In addition to appearing professional, this is a functional necessity as your transactions will involve document signing and possibly pamphlet or brochure material viewing.  Make sure your desk is large enough to be useful, yet small enough to fit comfortably in your office. Cramming an enormous desk into a tiny room will make the area feel too small and could create awkward experience for your customers. Get a flat-top executive-style desk with no...


Check regulations when traveling abroad. Get your prescription filled in advance. Make sure you have any required documentation. Talk to your doctor about adjusting to the time zone.

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

When traveling abroad, taking prescription medication can get tricky. Certain prescription medications may be illegal in some countries. In Japan, for example, you cannot bring Adderall into the country. Other medications may only be allowed in certain amounts, or require medical documentation. Check regulations so you do not end up without your medication after going through customs.  You can check regulations on your medications by checking country specific information on the State Department's website. You can also call the embassy or consulate of the country you plan to visit. It may be helpful to also browse the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website. The United Nations website also has information on prescription drug regulations by country. With a little detective work, you should be able to see what restrictions, if any, are placed on your medication. It's a good idea to plan ahead when traveling if you're on any prescription medication. You should make an effort to fill the prescription well in advance so you have enough for your trip. If you wait until the day before you leave, any delays or issues at the pharmacy could result in you not getting your medication in time for your travels. In some countries, documentation is required when traveling with prescription medication. You may have to have a copy of your prescription with you to present at customs. You may also need to have a letter from your doctor stating the purpose of your drug. Make sure you have these documents together well before you travel. Doctors, especially in the US, tend to be very busy. It may take your doctor a few days, or even a few weeks, to write a letter about your medication. Start gathering these documents well in advance if you're planning on traveling abroad. Some medications need to be taken at roughly the same time each day. If this is the case with your medication, talk to your doctor about how to adjust to time zones. He or she can give you advice on how to gradually adjust the time you take your...


Check salt levels at least once per month. Know what kind of salt to add. Break up salt bridges. Dissolve mush.

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

Salt is an essential part of the water softening process, as it regenerates the resin beads to prepare them for more softening. The softener manual should instruct you on the ideal salt level. As a general rule, fill the tank at least half-full with salt, and keep it at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) above the water level. High salt levels (within 4 in/15 cm of the tank top) may improve efficiency, but reduce this to a lower level if you notice old salt clinging to the sides. If you use block salt, it may be best to have a technician raise your water level to submerge the block completely. Your water softener manual will tell you whether your machine runs on granular, tablet, or block salt. Granular salt is the most common choice, because it dissolves most easily. Buy it in pellet form if possible, since ordinary salt crystals can easily clog the tank. There are also different grades of salt to choose between:  Rock salt (coarse salt) is cheap but contains more impurities, which decreases efficiency and dirties your tank, requiring more frequent cleaning. Solar salt is much purer than rock salt. Evaporated salt is the highest-quality option, but also the most expensive. Salt can form a solid layer or "bridge" in the brine tank. This prevents the loose salt on top from mixing with the water down below, preventing the softener from working. Push a long broom handle several times around the center of the tank, all the way to the bottom, to break up any solid layers that have formed.  Pouring hot water over the bridge makes it easier to break.  If you have repeated problems with bridging, use less salt, and let the salt drop lower between refills. Cleaning the brine tank should also help. The salt can also form a mushy pile at the base of the tank, causing the water to rise around it instead of mixing in. You can use a broom handle to break this up if it forms a large mound. It also helps to scoop up the mush and dissolve it in a bucket of hot water, then pour it back into the tank.


Check security footage. Contact cab companies. Track your car using the VIN. Check your city’s transportation website. Search cars for sale online. Report when the car is found.

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

Many businesses now have security cameras recording their parking lots. Also, your community might have installed cameras that record streets, schools, and other government buildings. You should try to access this security footage, which could help identify the thief.  Stop into your town office or city hall and ask about checking security footage. Have a copy of your police report with you. Tell them the day and time you think the car was stolen. You can also stop into private businesses and asks. Also show them a copy of your police report. Avoid delay. Sometimes, businesses delete or film over security footage. Cab drivers are almost always on the road, so they are good “eyes” to have looking for your car. You can call up local cab companies and offer a reward for information leading to the recovery of your car.  Make sure to provide a detailed description and offer a sweet enough reward so that cab drivers have an incentive to find the car. Some people think $100 is enough, but you should probably offer closer to $500. Whenever someone registers, titles, or services your car, the VIN will be entered into a database. You can purchase a vehicle history report at the AutoCheck website for $30-40. Check this report for any entries after the date your car was stolen.  In the United States, you can also use the VinCheck feature at the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) website. This website finds cars that are reported as stolen or salvaged.  Contact the police in the area where the car has been registered or serviced. Explain that your car was stolen and share your copy of the police report and your vehicle history report. If the thief parks your car and gets a ticket, then that information is entered into your city’s database. Go online and search your car’s license plate number. If you find that it has been parked somewhere, call the police and tell them where. The thief might try to sell your car online. Often, they will post a picture and other identifying information, so you can scroll through...

Every state has different requirements for adult adoption. For example, under the laws of Alabama, an adult can only be adopted if he or she: consents to the adoption and is related in any degree or is stepchild by marriage; is totally and permanently disabled; determined to be mentally handicapped; or consents in writing to be adopted by a legally married adult couple. It is very important that you check your state’s laws regarding adoption to make sure that you meet the minimum legal requirements. For a list of state-by-state adoption laws visit: http://adoptingback.com/adopting-back/united-states-adult-adoption-law/. Once you have determined that you meet the requirements for adult adoption in your state, contact the local court in the county in which either the adopter (the person assuming the parent role) or the adoptee (the person being adopted) live.  You can locate the county court by conducting an internet search for the name of the county and state and the words: “adoption” and “court.” This should direct you the appropriate website. Once you have located the correct court, call the clerk and ask what paperwork that you need to submit in order to file for an adult adoption. You should also ask whether there is a fee to file the forms. The clerk may direct you to the court’s website for you to download the proper forms or may provide you a list of documents that you must prepare  and file. Each state may request certain specific documents that the clerk will identify for you. Generally, courts will require some or all of the following documents to be filed in support of an adult adoption:  A Petition for Adoption or Petition for Approval of Adoption Agreement. An Order of Adoption. Spousal Consents. If your state does not have an adult adoption form, ask the clerk to explain the format and petition requirements. Generally, a Petition for Adoption will include:  The names, addresses, and ages of the adopter and adoptee. The name of the court and the county in which the adoption petition is being...


Check storage areas beforehand. Use appropriate storage containers. Plan your shelving carefully. Add dust jackets to books.

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

The storage area should be dry and temperate, as cold can encourage dampness and heat can dry out paper, causing it to crumble. Excessive humidity is bad for books, so either find storage with low humidity or reduce the humidity.  Check the attic or basement for leaks, mildew and dampness. Check your storage facility for bad odors or signs of mildew before storing your book there. Choose plastic boxes if the storage area is prone to leaks or dampness. Also, add silica gel sachets in case of condensation. Don't overfill your bookshelves. Ensure that there is adequate air circulation between books. Check to make sure that bookcases are not standing against cold, moldy, or damp walls. These clear jackets will keep moisture away from your beloved book. It's easier and cheaper to replace dust jackets than to replace the book cover or its binding, so dust jackets offer an affordable solution.


Check that the damper is open. If your woodburning heater has glass doors, open the doors 30 minutes before lighting your fire. Check the draft. Set up the base of your fire with newspaper and other tinder. Stack kindling on your tinder in a grid, creating a stable foundation for your larger logs. Stack one or two larger logs on top of your kindling base. Light the newspaper first. Open a window slightly. Add larger logs. Stir the wood down at least half an hour before you want it to go out.

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

The damper is a device that controls the amount of air flowing through the flue. The flue is the passage or duct for smoke in a stovepipe or chimney. There should be a lever which you can try moving one way or the other. One direction will close the damper, the other will open it — check to see that the damper is open, or else smoke will pour back into the room. This is much easier to do before lighting a fire in there. Once you have determined that the damper is open, you are ready to get started. This will allow the inside of the fireplace to come to room temperature. Cold air is heavier than warm air, so if the outside is too cold, it can create a river of cold air flowing down the stovepipe or chimney, into the woodburning stove, leaving it trapped there by the doors. By opening the doors and allowing some warm air from your room to rise up the chimney, it may be enough to start the draft moving upwards. Light a match near the opening of the flue and see if the draft is coming down or going up. If it is still coming down, you must find a way of reversing the draft and getting it to go up. Under no circumstances can you light the fire with the draft coming down. One method is to use a starter block (StarterLogg is one brand — break off a quarter of a stick) or a commercial wax log (such as Duraflame or Pine Mountain). These will light and stay lit, creating some warmth inside the woodburning heater and helping the draft start upwards, and they burn with little smoke:  Close the damper. This will stop the air from coming down and pushing the air into your living area. Most woodburning stoves, in addition to a damper, have a vent that restricts the air entering into the woodburning heater, so you can use this instead of the damper to control the air flow. Put the block on the back of the fireplace shovel, light it and place it up inside the woodburning heater, near the flue opening. What you are trying to do is to heat the upper part of the heater. When you have heated it (you will need to use trial and...


Check that the doll is made from porcelain or bisque and 1 other material. Inspect the body of the doll for 2 holes near the shoulders. Look at the stuffing of the doll if possible. Look for craze lines on the porcelain or bisque surface of the doll. Check that the coloring of the doll is faded and discolored. Inspect the eyes of the doll for an indication of its age. Check that the hair of the doll is painted on. Make sure that the clothes are old and faded.

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

Hold the head of the doll to your teeth. If it feels hard and cold, this means that it's made of porcelain or bisque. The body of the doll is usually made from a different material, such as kid (soft leather) or cloth.  Other materials that the body of these dolls are often made from include composition (sawdust, wood, and glue), ceramic, and paper-mache. Bisque is unglazed ceramic porcelain. It has small pores that collect dust and dirt. Usually the more dirt in the pores, the older the doll is. The head, neck, and shoulders of antique porcelain and bisque dolls are made using 1 mold. The 2 holes shows where the head area was attached to the rest of the body. The holes can also be at the base of the neck. Antique dolls that have bodies made out of kid or cloth are usually stuffed with sawdust or horsehair. The stuffing will be very tight so that it can support the weight of the head. Antique dolls will never be loosely stuffed, or stuffed with polyester. These antique dolls develop fine lines as they age, which look like cracks scattering across the porcelain or bisque. These will often be across the face of the doll. For example, a doll with very heavy cracks across the face is very old. A dull face coloring is a signature mark of an antique porcelain or bisque doll. The eyes, cheeks, and lips of the doll will look dull. These antique dolls that were made before 1870 had eyes that were painted on. From 1870 to the early 1900s, the dolls had inset glass eyes which don't move. From the early 1900s, the eyes of the dolls are large and rounded, with a sideways glance. The painted eyes of dolls made before 1870 are usually light blue, however some are brown or black. The majority of antique dolls have painted hair, which is black, brown, or blonde. The only exception is for German antique porcelain dolls, which often have wigs that are made out of mohair or human hair.  Red hair is very uncommon in antique porcelain dolls as it was believed to be unlucky. German porcelain dolls will have wigs that are glued onto...


Check that the preprinted information is correct. Write the date on the slip. Indicate the amount of cash you’re depositing. Total your deposit slip.

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

Lots of information on the slip is already printed.  Your name, address, bank name and address, and your account number should all be on the deposit slip already.  Before depositing cash, check to ensure this information is present and correct.  If the information is not present or incorrect, talk to a representative of the issuing bank. If you did not receive deposit slips when opening your account, contact the bank where you have the account.  Many banks offer unnumbered deposit slips in their lobbies (in which case you will have to fill in your account number manually). There should be a space to the left of the deposit slip for you to write the date of your deposit.  This will help the transaction proceed smoothly and prevent confusion. Locate the line on which you are expected to total your cash.  Typically, the cash deposit line is the first line on the right side of the deposit slip.  It has a small black triangle next to it, along with the word “CASH.”  Total the amount of cash you’re depositing and write it on this line. If you’re depositing checks along with cash, you can write the totals of your checks on the subsequent lines. When you’re done filling the slip out, add up your cash and check deposit amounts.  Write the grand total at the bottom of the deposit slip.  For instance, if you deposited two checks worth $50 and $100 in cash, you’d write $200 at the bottom of the deposit slip.

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

At least one tab should be present to be able to reopen the accidentally closed tab. If you close the last tab, the browser will also automatically close, clearing your tab history. The closed tab will reopen in a new tab window for you to view once more.  Pressing the key combination will reopen the latest tab you closed; press it again and the tab you closed before that will open, and so on so forth. If your Google Chrome is installed on a Mac OS, the key combination is CMD + SHIFT + T.


Check that you have the correct bridle size. Halter your horse so the main part is around the horse's neck. Pick up and position your bridle. Drape the reins over your horse's neck. Switch hands holding the bridle. Have the horse drop his head for the bit. Slip the crown of the bridle over the horse’s ears. Adjust the brow band. Buckle the throatlatch. Check the fit of the bridle. Remove the halter once you’re satisfied with the bridle’s positioning. Hold your horse by sliding the reins from their neck and gathering them in your hand.

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

If this is the first time you're using this bit on this particular horse you should be sure that you're using a proper sized bridle. If it's the wrong size it will make the horse uncomfortable.  Bridles comes in three sizes: pony, cob or Arabian, and full. Measure your horse’s head from the center of his poll to the corner of his mouth, and compare this measurement to the crown and cheek piece of the bridle. If the bit is too small it can pinch the horse’s mouth. If the bit is too large it will slide around in the horse’s mouth. Also an over-sized ported or jointed bit can cause pain or damage to the roof of the horse's mouth. (Let the noseband hang.) This gives you something to keep the horse in check, but won't get in the way of the bridle. Do not have the horse tied when you do this. Pick it up from its crownpiece (top part) in your left hand, letting the rest of it hang. Move any small straps to the outside of the cheekpieces, so they won't get tangled.  Now hold it in your right hand.  Hold the bridle so that the two sides are a good distance apart, with the crown up and the throatlatch straps hanging free and not tangled in any other straps. Make sure you take up all the reins so that you don’t create loops for your horse to step in and keep all the straps off the ground. Once he does, hold the bit in the palm of your left hand, with your right forearm paralleling the horse's top of his neck (your hand should be right near his ears). Gently press the bit next to the horse's teeth, and insert your thumb back into the horse's mouth to make it open if you must.  If your horse won't lower his head or accept the bit, stick your thumb in the back of its mouth this will get it open and is completely safe they have no teeth there! Or offer them a treat while offering the bit. Hold the bridle in your right arm with the crown of it near the horse's ears, and rest its bit and stick your thumb in the back of its mouth or a treat (a bit of apple or sugar cube) in your palm. Slip the bit into your horse’s mouth (with...


Check that you live in a state that allows early voting. Determine your state’s rules and eligibility for absentee voting. Contact your local election office to learn more about early voting in your area.

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

Early voting is a process that allows a voter to cast their ballot in a given election before Election Day. Some states actually call the process “early voting,” while others use “in-person absentee voting,” meaning that you cast an absentee ballot by physically showing up at a designated location.  Most states allow some form of early voting. Find out your state's early voting rules and dates at https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/. Note that while some states don't technically have early voting, they may allow certain people to vote absentee in-person before the election. In Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah and Hawaii, all elections are conducted by mail. The state mails all registered voters a ballot for each election, rendering early voting and absentee voting procedures less relevant. Voters in these states who need to vote in-person in advance of election day may still be able to do so and should contact their local election office for more information. Absentee voting also allows voters to cast a ballot before Election Day, but involves mailing a ballot instead of voting in person. Absentee voting was originally designed only to serve voters who would actually be absent from their precincts on Election Day, but has gradually expanded in many states to cover a variety of circumstances. If your state does not allow early voting, it may allow absentee voting with or without an excuse. Because this method of voting allows the voter to cast a ballot before election day, it can be considered a type of early voting, but they are typically distinguished from one another. Additionally, a few states technically don't offer early voting but allow for in-person absentee voting if you meet certain criteria. You can see what your state’s rules are by going to https://www.vote.org/absentee-voting-rules/. Even if your state allows early voting, some decisions about early voting may be made at the county level. It's best to confirm the details about when and where you can vote early with your local election...


Check that your Mac meets the requirements. Backup your important data. Print this guide, or load it on another computer. Start Boot Camp Assistant. Create an install disk if using an ISO file. Download the support software. Check the "Install Windows" box. Set your partition. Start the Windows installation. Select the Boot Camp drive during installation. Run the support software installation. Choose which operating system you want to boot.

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

In order to install and boot Windows on your Mac, you will need to have OS X 10.5 or later with all the available updates, at least 20 GB of free space, and an Intel processor. You will also need a full copy of Windows, either an installation DVD or an .ISO file.  You can check if your Mac is using an Intel processor by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac". Look at the Processor listed in the window; if it says Intel then you're good to go. It is possible to install OS X on a Windows PC, but that is outside the scope of this article. See the this guide for detailed instructions for setting up a Hackintosh. You shouldn't lose anything during the process, but it's always a good idea to have backups just in case something goes wrong. Make sure all of your important documents, pictures, and other files are backed up on a separate drive or in the cloud. See this guide for more details on backing up your data. You will be restarting your computer multiple times during the installation, so it's a good idea to have access to this guide or your Boot Camp manual before proceeding. This program is located in the Utilities subfolder in your Applications folder. Boot Camp Assistant will create a new partition on your drive and start the Windows installation process. If you are installing from a Windows ISO file, you will need to use a USB flash drive to create a Windows Installation Disk. This will copy the ISO to the flash disk and prepare it for booting.  Insert an 8 GB or larger flash drive into your Mac and check the "Create a Windows 7 install disk" box. If you are using a Windows installation DVD, you can leave this box unchecked. Any data on the flash drive will be deleted when the installation disk is created. Check the "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" box. This software is necessary to allow you to use your hardware in Windows. If you are creating a Windows install disk, the files will be copied to the same flash drive. If you are using an installation DVD, you will need...


Check that your area gets 4 hours of peak sunlight throughout the day. Choose a type Install the mounting system Secure the panels to the mounting system. Attach inverters to the panels to convert the electricity. Connect the solar panels to your electrical system.

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

Peak sunlight hours occur when the sun is the highest in the sky and locations closer to the Equator get more peak sun hours than those further away. Look online to see how many peak sunlight hours your area has. Once you determine the peak hours in your area, check your property for places that aren’t covered by shade during the day since solar panels can’t generate electricity if they aren’t exposed to sunlight.  Look for solar power companies near you and schedule a consultation. Solar power companies can look at your home and property to determine how efficient solar panels would be. Remember that the sun moves throughout the day so areas that have light change. While one spot may have sunlight in the morning, it may be covered by the shadow of a tree or a different home later on. of solar panel that works best for you. The 3 main types of solar panels are monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film. Monocrystalline panels are the most recognizable types and have about 20% efficiency. They take up the least amount of space, but they are the most expensive. Polycrystalline panels are more affordable, but they only have about 16% efficiency and don’t work well in higher temperatures since they have a low heat tolerance. Thin film panels are flexible and the cheapest option, but they are the least efficient at 7-13% and they take up the most space.  See if there are any financing options for the solar panels so you can pay them off over a set period of time rather than spending a lot up-front. You can install single solar panels at a time if you can’t afford to buy multiple panels. on your roof or on the ground. If you plan on installing the solar panels on your roof, attach the mounts that come with your panels to the trusses, which are the long wooden pieces under your shingles that run toward the roof’s peak. Space the mounts far enough apart so they line up with the holes along the side of the panels. If you’re installing a ground-mounted system, mount the provided post with cement before attaching...


Check that your sewing machine has a blind hem presser foot in its collection. Attach the blind hem presser foot to the sewing machine. Set the machine to the blind hem stitch setting.

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

The sewing machine requires a specific foot for this stitch, with the vertical bar passing between the two feet.  Alternatively, buy a universal blind hem presser foot for your machine in a sewing shop or online. These feet are fairly inexpensive and a good choice if your machine does not have the blind hem presser foot. Make sure, however, that it fits your machine. Check the product specifications before buying: they'll usually say which machines it works with. If you can't find a presser foot for your machine, you can still make this hem! Skip to sewing instructions in Part 3, Step 2. Follow the instructions for your particular machine. This setting is often indicated by two stitches spaced far apart, but check your user's manual to be sure. Now you're ready to sew!


Check the Download speed. Check the Upload speed. Note the Ping results:

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

Once you’ve completed a broadband speed test, you’ll want to compare the results to promises made by your ISP/data provider. Since slow download speeds are most noticeable, start there.  Download speeds affect things like streaming media (such as Spotify or Youtube), downloading documents, and browsing the web. Cheaper broadband packages for basic Internet access usually include 1.5-3mbps. This should be good enough for basic web use, but you’ll want at least 5mbps to stream high-quality video. Most mid-grade home user packages are closer to 10-20 mbps, which is better equipped to handle HD streaming on more than one computer. Check with your ISP to find out what you have. The upload speed results reflect the speed of data you send out, such as when you attach files to an email, upload photos or videos to the web, use video conferencing, or share files using a service like BitTorrent.  Some apps and sites, like Fast.com, won’t report an upload speed. This is because most users tend to be more concerned with download speeds as they affect media streaming and web browsing. 1-4mbps should be fine for users who don’t share a lot of large files or use video conferencing. It’s not common for a home user to have a 10mbps or more upload rate. This number (shown in milliseconds) represents the response time to the test server. Higher ping times (such as 100ms or more) indicate network trouble between your modem and the server. ISPs don’t guarantee certain ping results, as such results can be affected by outside networks.

Check the accuracy of the professor's grading, if applicable. Set up an appointment to speak with your professor. Be ready to submit a written rebuttal. Be respectful and professional at all times. Ask the professor to clarify their comments. Emphasize your desire to improve.

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

Education is often an imperfect art; professors sometimes make mistakes in grading. Sometimes the wrong answer key was used, or the professor misunderstood your thesis, the teacher was up at 4 a.m. grading papers or any number of errors. Justifying a higher grade needs data, and that often means proving the professor was in error.  Check your answers with peers, on the Internet, or with other sources. If comments on a written piece do not make sense, there is the possibility of the professor misreading something.(Although it is possible your writing is problematic, not an error on the part of the professor.) If you do not understand the corrections or mistakes, it is often worth contacting the professor in order to go over the work. Depending on the school, class, or teacher, you may not be able to get the grade changed. However going to the professor with a good attitude will often make a professor more likely to work with you in improving your grade. In many countries, there are laws that forbid professors from discussing grades via email. Instead of attempting to have a conversation about your grade over email, set up an appointment to talk to your professor face-to-face.  Try talking to your professor after class. You can say, “Dr. Johnson, I am concerned about the grade I earned on the exam. Can we set up a time to meet?” Note that many professors will require you to wait at least 24 hours after receiving a grade to discuss it with them. This encourages students to review the material carefully during that time rather than reacting harshly or in a hostile manner after receiving a poor grade. Even if email is an option, face-to-face meetings are generally best in discussing this sort of issue. If you decide to proceed with challenging your grade, most professors will make you submit your objections in writing. You will need to outline why your assignment deserves a higher grade, and how the evidence you submitted in the assignment fulfilled the professor’s guidelines. It is also helpful to incorporate the...
