Rent gear your first time out. Get a paintball gun. Get some paint. Practice with your gun before you go out to play. Get a safety mask. Get other safety gear.

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

What do you need to play a game of paintball? At some places, the answer is nothing. Instead of buying a bunch of gear, rent some at a field that rents out gear to see how you like the game, then consider investing in your own stuff when you're ready.  When you arrive at a paintball center or field, you will be given a set of overalls, possibly body armour, a face mask, and a hopper. This is the container that holds the paintballs and feeds them into the paintball gun. When you go out into the live fire zone to play your matches, you will be issued a paintball gun. The hopper will usually fit into the top of the gun, and there is a safety switch and a trigger on the gun. Then you're ready to play. Paintball guns are operated with compressed air, which shoot marble-sized balls of paint at a high velocity. A good starter paintball gun usually costs anywhere between $100 and $150 dollars, but higher range models can be upward of $700.  The Tippmann A5 is recommended for beginners and newbies alike. If you don't like the styling on the Tippmann A5, look for a Kingman Spyder gun, such as the Spyder Pilot or Spyder Sonix. These guns are suggested to newer players for the fact of that they are quality, and aren't in the really pricey range. Spend time with your gun, if you buy one. Learn to clean it and maintain it, to ensure that you'll get the most accurate shots when you're out on the field. Paintballs are capsules containing a non-toxic, bio-degradable, water-soluble dye with a gelatin outer shell. When players play against each other individually, each of them gets a unique color set of paintballs. When players play in teams, each team is assigned a unique paintball color. This is done to make it easy to identify the winning player or team. Mostly, paint will be purchased directly from the arena where you play. If you want to play at other locations, you can buy bulk paintballs at most sporting goods stores. If you have your own paintball gun, it's important to familiarize yourself with the action and the range...


Rent or buy a hopper gun and air compressor. Adjust the air pressure. Practice your technique. Spray your drywall. Finish the texture.

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

You can find hopper guns at most hardware stores, or online. If you plan on doing a lot of drywall texturing, you may find it more cost effective to purchase one of your own. If this is a one-time project, consider renting your hopper gun.  Attach the hopper gun to an air compressor and load the hopper with your mixed drywall compound.  Read the manufacturer's instructions before operating the hopper gun.  Only fill the hopper up about halfway to keep it from getting too heavy. The air pressure needs to be high enough to spray the compound from the gun, but not so high that you can't control the spray. The gun should also have an adjustable aperture, or mouth. Adjust this opening to your liking. A wider opening will create bigger blobs, and a smaller one will create a finer texture. Before you spray your entire room, do a few test sprays on some scrap cardboard or drywall. Make any final adjustments to the pressure and aperture. Write down the settings you used in case you want to make the same effect again. Cover your wall in a continuous, sweeping motion. Don't pause when spraying as this will cause build up on your wall. Spray with a light touch for best results.  You can spray in vertical or horizontal lines, or even in a random pattern. How you decide to spray is up to you, just keep in mind you're aiming for a uniform application.  If you feel some of the texture is too thin, you can make another pass. However, be careful not to spray too much. It can be difficult to match up the textures when doing touch-ups. Your texture isn't complete until you paint it. Before you paint your drywall, add another coat of primer. Once the primer dries, add one or two coats of paint to finish the job. Let the drywall texture dry completely before painting.


Rent or buy a property. Set up basic utilities and services. Book your method of transportation  to Italy. Pack your bags. Pack certain belongings and ship them to your new home. Convert your currency into Euros. Use your chosen method of transport to get to Italy.

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

You must find a place a reside. Even if you plan to move to Italy for the long term, it may be a good idea to find an apartment at first, just so you can really get to know the country, the neighborhoods, and the housing market.  If you made a trip to Italy earlier, hopefully you had some success while scouting around. That would have been a good time to compile a list of potential neighborhoods, apartment complexes, or residential agents that you can contact later. Until recently, rents were set by government agencies. Legal changes in the last few years have opened up housing prices to market shifts, and you may notice substantial price differences from one neighborhood to the next.  City centers, as you might expect, remain the most expensive areas to live. Some of the larger cities have highly capable public transportation, so you want to factor that in when you are selecting a house or apartment. You will need electricity, water, possibly gas, and phone service in Italy. The process is little different from doing so in the United States, but there are a few things you can do to simplify it.  If you already have a cell phone, get a European sim card. You will need an "unlocked" phone, but with the right sim card your phone will be identified as European by local networks and you will have access to regional cell phone rates (as long as you find a carrier).  Though you will have to make arrangements with a local water company, you will probably not be billed regularly. Each household has a water quota and, outside of the subscription fee, you are only charged for exceeding that quota. If you are always under the quota, expect just a two to four bills from them a year.  You are free to choose which electrical utility you want to use (at least if you purchased or are renting an entire house). The regular quantity of electricity apportioned for each household is smaller than is the case in the United States, and if you need additional power you may have to ask for a higher volume. You will be charged at a...


Rent or buy a wet saw at a hardware store. Fill the saw’s tray with water. Line the wet saw up with your first cut line. Turn on the wet saw and cut the glass.

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

A wet saw is a motorized saw with a diamond blade that is used to cut tile, glass, porcelain, and other delicate products. During operation, water is sprayed out of the front of the saw to ensure that the blade stays cool and lubricated. Wet saws cut through thick glass very easily. They are a great choice if you plan to cut glass frequently or if you want to avoid the scoring and breaking process. You must wear safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves when operating a wet saw. Do not allow anyone in the work area unless they are wearing safety goggles and protective clothing. Using a power saw to cut into thick glass is very dangerous without the aid of water, because the glass can get extremely hot and eventually explode. Fill up the saw’s tray completely with water and inspect the saw to make sure nothing is blocking the water flow from the reservoir. Adequate water flow must be maintained during the operation of a wet saw. Precise measurements and accurate cut lines are important no matter which cutting technique you employ. After measuring and drawing your cut lines on the surface of the glass with a straight edge and a sharpie, carefully line up the saw’s blade with your first cut line. Make sure that your hands and clothing are well out of the way of the blade before you turn it on. Using light pressure, gently push the glass towards the wet saw. Do not push the blade into the glass, as this will result in a messy cut. Push the glass slowly, lightly and steadily against the blade. Continue until the blade has cut the glass along the entirety of the cut line you drew on the glass.  Move onto the next cut line and continue. Turn off the wet saw when you’ve finished with the job and empty the water from the saw’s tray.


Rent or buy an orbital polisher to apply the compound professionally. Use a clean, dry microfiber towel to apply your compound by hand. Apply a thin line of rubbing compound directly over your scratches. Hold your orbital polisher over your scratches for 10-20 seconds. Use rubbing compound over all of your car to polish every surface. Rub the compound into the surface of your car until it is invisible. Rinse the car with water to get rid of any remaining rubbing compound.

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

To most effectively apply your rubbing compound, you can rent or buy an orbital polisher from most home supply stores. When rubbing compound over the entire car, use a soft pad. On average, a polisher costs about $30 - 70 to buy new (£21.30 - 49.71). While orbital polishers do the best job of spreading the rubbing compound, you can also effectively use a towel.  Make sure your towel is completely clean so you do not rub dirt and debris into your car. Do this if you don't have access to a polisher or want to remove scratches on a budget. You want the scratched areas to be covered with rubbing compound. If your compound comes in a tube, you can squeeze it directly onto the scratches. If your rubbing compound does not come in a tube, you can scoop some out using a paper towel or rag.  Rubbing compound helps smoothen over the freshly sanded areas, so your scratches look invisible. Make sure your car is not in any direct sunlight before you apply the compound. Use a wool pad if you are using a polisher. Place your polisher directly onto the scratch, and pull the trigger or press the button to start the machine. The orbital polisher will rapidly spin across the surface of your car, spreading the rubbing compound over the scratches. Apply about 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of compound to your cloth or polisher after you spread rubbing compound over the scratched areas. Start at the top of your car and apply the compound in 1–2 ft (0.30–0.61 m) sections. Move your hands or the buffer in a circular motion to apply the rubbing compound. In addition to removing scratches, rubbing compound freshens up the color of your car and makes it look sparkling and shiny. It essentially acts as a polisher for your car. Move your orbital polisher or microfiber cloth in small circles until you rub in all of the compound. Press into the surface of your car with moderate force as you apply the compound. The compound is completely rubbed in when you cannot see any residue or streaks on your car.  With moderate force, your rubbing compound should...


Rent or purchase a wet saw with a diamond blade. Read the instruction manual before you operate the saw. Connect the saw to a water supply. Put the marble on a piece of thick, sturdy foam to prevent scratches. Make a mark on the marble to act as a guideline. Pour water on the front portion of the blade to lubricate it.

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

A wet saw is the best option for cutting stone slabs, and the diamond blade ensures a smooth, clean cut. If you only need to cut marble for a few jobs, renting may be more cost-effective than buying a saw. If you are planning multiple home improvement jobs, buying your own saw may be more economical and convenient.  Make sure you get the right kind of wet saw. If you're cutting pieces of marble that are more than 15 inches (38 cm) in diameter, a tabletop wet saw (the kind most commonly available for rent) will not be effective. Ask an employee at the store to recommend the best saw for the job you want to do. If you're cutting a thin slab (like the kind you'd use for a shower wall or counter top), you can use a circular saw with a diamond blade. A new wet saw usually costs about $100-300 (£77.25-231.76). Renting wet saws cost about $35 (£27.04) a day or $100 (£77.25) a week. The blade of the saw has diamond crystals, which help cut dense and strong items. If you do not know how to safely use the saw, you may injure yourself when cutting the marble. Review the set-up instructions and safety warnings on your particular model, as they are all slightly different. This way, you know the ins and outs of your model and can easily and safely cut the marble slab. When using a wet saw, the blade must remain consistently wet in order to keep it cool. If the blade gets too hot, it can cut the marble incorrectly or inconsistently. You may have to fill up the separate water tank or connect the saw to a hose, depending on your particular model. Read over your instructions to find exact instructions on how to connect the water supply to your saw. Purchase a large piece of foam from a craft supply store. Use this to keep your marble flat and protected as you cut it. When you move the marble across the platform of the saw, the foam gets scratched up, rather than your marble.  You can make the cutting job easier by attaching the foam to a piece of 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) plywood. Use clear silicone to attach the foam to the wood, and...


Rent or purchase the right tools. Determine the number of steel studs needed. Chalk the lines where the track will be fastened to the floor using a chalk box. Screw the lower lengths of track to the floor. Plumb the top track. Once plumb is established, attach the track to the upper ceiling.

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

Working with steel studs requires a few special tools. You can typically get the best equipment for this at local construction rental stores. You will need:  Metal cut-off saw Fasteners A hammer drill Screw gun Chalk box Level Laser level or plumb bob  Clamps You should typically allow for 1 stud per every 12 inches (300 mm) of linear wall space. Purchase steel plates — also called tracks — for the bottom and top of the wall by measuring the linear feet of the wall and doubling it. Add an additional stud for each side of a window or door. Snap a chalk line across the perimeter of the floor to outline where your track will need to go. Use the chalk line to position your lower track and screw the track in by first drilling a hole into the track and stud, and then fastening with a screw. If you're drilling through concrete, try using the power nailer or hammer drill for an easier time. Negotiate corners and long straight lines when laying track. Overlap track corners by flattening the first track’s side flange so the overlapping track can slide right into place. On longer, straight runs, overlap the adjoining tracks at least 6 inches and secure the overlap to the floor with a concrete screw. To make sure that the upper and lower track are plumb, you can use either a laser level, a plumb bob, or two water levels:  To use a laser level, simply place it in the bottom middle of the track and turn it on to shine a vertical laser up to your wall. This point will be your plumb point on the upper wall. Most contractors recommend using a laser level for efficiency and ease of access. Using a plumb bob is similar to using a laser level. Attach the string to the top of the wall and let the bob come to a rest at the plumb line on the bottom of the floor. If you have neither a laser level nor a plumb bob, you can try using two water levels pressed together. Keeping both levels together, extend one to the ceiling and other to the floor, making sure that both levels are plumb. Mark off your plump line on the floor or ceiling....

Reorganize your schedule, if possible. Delegate your tasks for the day. Take a break from your normal routine. Engage your peers during meetings or in classes.

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

Rather than try to tackle all of your tasks for the day at once, adjust your schedule so your more important appointments are at the start of your day. If you are sleep deprived, you will likely try to maintain a higher level of energy in the morning and feel burned out by the end of the day. Create a schedule where you prioritize the important tasks first, while you still have energy. If you cannot reorganize your schedule, plan on a nap break or a caffeine break between meetings or tasks so you can stay awake and alert. If you have other co-workers or peers who can sympathize with your lack of sleep, try to delegate some of your responsibilities for the day. Explain your situation and promise an IOU in exchange for help on a project or task. This will allow you to manage any stress or anxiety due to lack of sleep, and focus on only one or two tasks for the day. In an energy slump, it may help to switch to an activity that you enjoy doing or feel relaxed doing. Going through the motions of your day will likely make you more tired and drowsy. Instead, go for a quick walk outside or have a coffee break with a coworker. Jolting your brain out of your normal routine will keep you alert and ready to tackle the rest of your day. If you feel you are in danger of falling asleep during a meeting or during a class, push yourself to work the room. Ask questions of your peers or your clients, raise your hand during class, and try to stay engaged in the conversation. Getting involved in the discussion will help you stay alert, and force your brain to stay focused. As well, if you were planning to present a 50 slide Powerpoint presentation at a meeting, try to engage your co-workers in conversation during the presentation. Otherwise, you might end up putting yourself and others in the room right to sleep with a dry, slides only meeting.


Repair broken items. Buy reusable items. Use a reusable grocery bag. Unsubscribe from junk mail. Buy less overall. Donate old items. Have a yard sale.

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

In our society, it's tempting to just throw out items when they break. However, if you're trying to reduce waste, try to repair the items instead. That way, you aren't just throwing it in the landfill. For instance, if the sole comes off your boot, take it to a cobbler instead of just throwing it out. If your television has a problem, get it repaired instead of going out to buy a new one. As an added bonus, repairs are usually cheaper than buying a new item. Instead of purchasing throwaway items like paper plates, plastic zip top bags, and one-time use batteries, opt for reusable items. Depend on washable plates and reusable containers and bags. Invest in rechargeable batteries so you're not always throwing them away. As an added bonus, this tip will save you money in the long term. Plastic grocery bags seem to multiply, particularly if you go shopping often. Of course, you may reuse some of them in your house, but you likely throw away a good number, too. The best solution is to bring reusable cloth grocery bags with you to the store. In addition to being reusable, they hold more than plastic bags, and they are less likely to bust on you. Store your canvas bags in your car or leave them hanging right beside your door as a reminder to use them. If you're like most people, you receive a large amount of mail that goes directly into the trash. Take steps to reduce that mail. You can call catalog companies and ask to be taken off the list, for instance, if you're not interested in seeing the catalog. You can also use websites like https://www.catalogchoice.org/ and https://dmachoice.thedma.org/ to cancel junk mail. The site https://www.optoutprescreen.com/?rf=t will let you opt out of credit card offers. In a consumerist society, you may feel the need to buy, buy, buy. However, the next time you're eyeing that new thing you want to buy, step back and ask yourself, "Do I really need this?" More often than not, the answer will be, "No."  Before you buy, think about if you own something that could serve the same...


Repair gouges if necessary. Select a ski wax based on temperature. Warm up the skis with an iron. Drip wax onto the warm skis. Iron the wax onto the ski. Let the wax cool.

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

If the base of your skis has noticeable gouges, you'll need P-tex candles to repair them. Gouges that expose the metal beneath may need more serious repairs from a ski shop. These candles burn very hot, so wear heat-proof gloves and remove all flammable materials from the area before you begin.  Hold the P-tex candle over the gouge and light the end of the candle with a lighter. Drip the P-tex wax into the gouge until it is filled, or touch it to the gouge for more accurate filling. Take care not to spill this anywhere else, as the wax can be tough to scrape off.  Let the wax cool for at least an hour, then scrape it flat using a wax scraper (see the end of this section for more information on scraping.) Different waxes are suitable for snow at different temperatures, so check the forecast for the location where you'll be skiing next. Typically, a cold weather wax is suitable for temperatures under 20ºF (-7º C), medium wax is best for conditions between 20 and 32ºF (-7º to 0ºC), and warm weather wax should be used in temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC). It's better to err on the cold side. If you use a wax for too warm a temperature, your skis will become sticky and won't glide nearly as well on the snow. A waxing iron, which has no holes in the base, does a much better job than a regular clothes iron. If you do use a regular clothes iron, you will not be able to use it for clothes again, and there is a higher risk of damaging your skis. Set the iron to the minimum temperature setting and give it a few minutes to warm up. Once it's warm, run it along the ski base once or twice to warm up the ski. Hold the bar of wax against your iron to drip a generous amount of wax onto the ski base, moving in a zig zag pattern. Stop if your wax smokes, and unplug the iron for a few minutes to cool it down. Push the iron over the wax in long, steady strokes, moving lengthwise along the skis. Always keep the iron moving, as even a couple seconds in the same spot can burn your ski base and ruin it. Repeat until the wax has melted...


Repair leaks around the house. Use exhaust fans in the bathrooms and kitchens. Install a dryer vent. Seal leaks in your ductwork. Turn off humidifiers. Remove moisture from the air with a dehumidifier. Measure humidity levels with a hygrometer.

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

Plumbing problems and leaks are among the most common sources of interior moisture that cause humidity in the basement. Leaky pipes, fixtures, toilets, and other plumbing can cause moisture in the house that drips down into the basement, creating dampness and wet spots.  Signs of a plumbing leak causing dampness in the basement include water stains and wet spots on the ceiling in the basement.  To inspect for leaks that you can't see, check your water meter reading and don’t use any water in the house for 2 hours. Check the reading again after 2 hours. If there's been a change, you have a leak somewhere that needs to be addressed. You may be able to address simple repairs yourself, such as changing a leaky washer, fixing a running toilet, or tightening a loose joint. For larger jobs, or if you don’t have much experience with plumbing maintenance, call in a professional to fix the leak. Steam from hot showers, baths, and cooking can also increase the humidity levels in your basement and throughout the house. Always run exhaust fans in the bathroom when bathing, and run the exhaust fan in the kitchen when cooking.  You can also reduce steam by covering pots with lids when you cook, and by taking cooler showers and baths. If you don’t have exhaust fans, open windows when you shower or cook. Your clothes dryer produces a great deal of moisture, because moisture evaporates from wet clothes as they dry. To prevent that wetness from ending up in your basement, install a vent if necessary to vent your dryer directly outside.  This is most likely a job that will require a professional, because you'll have to cut into the frame of your house to install the vent. The job will likely cost around $200 USD. Inspect hoses and ducts regularly for cracks and holes that could be causing leaks, and replace the duct or hose if you find signs of wear and tear. Ducts that carry warm and cold air around your house can also create humidity in the basement if there are leaks that allow moist air to seep out. If you suspect there's a...


Repair rips and tears. Vacuum the animals. Clean the animals. Dry the toys. Wrap the animals. Transfer the animals to plastic storage bins.

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

Before storing your stuffed animals for long periods, it’s a good idea to clean them first. But before cleaning them, you want to make sure that any rips or tears are repaired so that the animal doesn’t get destroyed during the cleaning process.  Take a needle and thread that’s as close to the color of the animal as you can get. Thread the needle and tie a knot it one end of the thread. Starting at one end of the rip, push the needle up through the underside of the rip to lock the thread in place on the underside of the fabric. Then use the needle to push the thread from the material on one side of the rip to the other in a straight line. Move down and make another stitch. Continue making slip stitches like this until the rip is repaired.  Don’t forget to sew and secure eyes, bows, and other features back on if they’ve fallen off. To remove dust, dirt, mites, allergens, and other particles from the stuffed animals, you want to vacuum them periodically, and always before they go into storage.  Place several medium to large sized stuffed animals in a large garbage bag. Insert the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner into the bag and seal the bag around the nozzle. Turn on the vacuum cleaner and let it suck out all the air, dust, and dirt.  When you're finished, you may need to re-fluff the animals if the stuffing has lost some shape in the process. To vacuum smaller toys, hold them in your hand an use a nozzle attachment of the appropriate size to suck up dirt and dust. Depending on how old or delicate your animals are, you may be able to machine wash or hand wash them, or you can clean them with baking soda. Check the care labels on the animals before choosing which method to use.  For machine washable toys, place individual animals in mesh laundry bags or stuff them into pillow cases to protect them from snags. Wash them on the delicate or hand wash cycle if it’s available, and use a mild detergent and cold water.  To hand wash animals, fill a sink with cool water and add one tablespoon (15 ml) of mild laundry...

Repeat a powerful mantra. Examine the lives of people you admire. Spend time with others who believe in you. Visualize success. Commit to working for a short amount of time.

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

Your knowledge of mantra may be the sounds that are recited during yoga or meditation. Your line of thinking is correct, but also limited. A mantra can be any phrase that energizes and transforms your thinking. These words are positive utterances that position you in a place of success. Mantras can be anything from single words to empowering quotes, such as "Either I will find a way, or I will make one." Find words that motivate you and repeat them frequently throughout your day. Role models aren't just for children or young adults. No matter your age, you can learn and receive inspiration from someone else.  Look for a teacher, coworker, boss, or public figure who leads a life that you find admirable. Watch this person and learn from their actions. When you are led by someone with strong ethics, you will behave more positively in your own life.  But, this leadership does not have to come from someone you know. You can be inspired by world leaders, authors, and entrepreneurs. Pick up a book or watch a documentary about this person's life and learn what he or she has experienced on the journey to success. Believing in yourself is truly exhilarating. But, when you are short on motivation, it can be highly motivating to be around others who do believe in you. Recognize that the people you spend the most time with are heavily influencing your life--whether positively or negatively. Choose to surround yourself with people who pour into your cup, and with whom you can, in return, support and encourage. Visualization is a mental practice in which you activate your imagination and senses to reach a particular state. Visualization helps you to train your brain for real performance. Therefore, its usefulness is unparalleled when it comes to achieving success.  To use visualization, establish what it is you want to achieve. Then, see yourself at the finish line. This might be your dream career or after a major weight loss. Think about the sensations associated with the success. Who is with you? What thoughts are going...


Repeat one word to your bird, over and over. Reward your parakeet if he or she says the word you're teaching it. Speak to your bird for a few minutes at a time. Don't let the bird get distracted during lessons. Keep each lesson focused. Be patient. Move on to more complicated words or phrases. Get your parakeet to name an object or an object's color.

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

Speak clearly and slowly, teaching them only one word at a time. Your parakeet may not know to repeat the word right away, but just keep repeating it.  Note that parakeets are best with the consonants d,t,k,p, or b. A simple phrase like "Hi, how are you?" won't help because it is hard for your bird to say it. If you don't know what word to teach your bird first, consider teaching it it's name. This is a word they have probably heard before, so the sounds should be familiar to your parakeet already. This will reinforce the behavior and also help to further the bond between you and your bird. Parakeets love millet sprays; Celery and carrots are also great treats and they provide essential nutrients for your budgie's health. However, don't try to train it for too long in one session. It's a good idea to work with your parakeet for about a half an hour a day. If you try to work with it for too long, your bird may get bored and could become less willing to learn. Keep it focused by covering three sides of the bird's cage with a cloth. Stand right in front of their cage when talking to your bird, so it knows that it is you speaking to it. Don't move onto a second word until your parakeet can say the first phrase correctly at least three times in a row. Making sure that your parakeet really knows a word before moving on will make it more likely that it will repeat the same word or phrase at a later time. Do not try to force your parakeet to talk. Many parakeets never learn to talk, but it's fun to try! Once your parakeet has mastered a few words, you can move on to full phrases. Just as with teaching it words, repeat the phrase to your parakeet when it is calm and willing to focus on you. The parakeet will be focused if you are the only one in the room,but others can cause your parakeet to be frightened. As you say a word, hold up the object. With enough practice, you should be able to just hold up the object and the parakeet will repeat the word you taught it. It will simply be repeating the sounds you made but it...


Repeat steps one and two. Apply a highlighter. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. Create a smoky eye. Curl eyelashes and apply three coats of black or brown mascara. Apply lipstick or gloss. Finished

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

Using your fingers or a small brush, blend highlighter onto your cheekbones, under your eyebrows and under your eyes. This will make your skin look luminous and will cover up under-eye circles. For evening, you can choose a darker or more pronounced blush shade, just remember to apply it lightly. Sweep white eyeshadow over the eyelid up to the brow bone. Cover the eyelid up to the crease in a light grey shadow. Shade the crease of the eyelid with a dark grey eyeshadow and blend. Apply a quick sweep of liquid eyeliner across the top lashes and grey pencil eyeliner along the bottom lashes.  Darker lipstick or gloss is appropriate for an evening look. Try a darker pink, mauve, or plum. Avoid exceptionally bright or dark shades.


Repeat the bleach process over the next few weeks. Top up your semi permanent color whenever it fades or gets bleached out. Continue this process depending on how bright you want your blonde hair to be.

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

The least amount of time you should leave in between bleaching sessions should be around a week. This will allow your hair to recover. Between bleaching sessions, condition your hair as much as possible. However, the dye will not prevent the effects of the bleach once your hair is bleached again. When you get your desired shade, it will be slightly yellow or even a slight tint of orange. To fix this, apply blonde dye.


Repeat the fence checks for the pasture you want the cattle to graze in next before moving them there. Move the cattle from the spent pasture onto a new pasture or paddock. Repeat the process from the steps above.

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

It cannot be stressed enough the importance of checking fences before moving cattle. Sometimes you may want to check fences again during the time they are on pasture, especially if they are in an area that is big enough to allow them to graze there for three to four weeks or more, and especially if the fences themselves are old and prone to break from the stress put on them by the cattle. Cattle that are manage-intensive-grazed (MIG) will soon get accustomed to being moved at a certain time of day or after a certain time they are on pasture. Cattle that are continuously grazed on a large pasture are not trained as such, and require calm herding techniques to move them from one pasture to the other. Cattle should be moved to fresh pasture when 50% to 70% of cover has been removed; this is important with rotational grazing that follows a high-intensity low-frequency form of grazing. Cattle will need to be moved sooner in a high-frequency low-intensity form of grazing where they only get to graze enough that they are taking only one bite from every plant and trampling the rest. With continuous/rotational combination grazing (where one pasture is being grazed for around a month before moving the animals on to the next) remember to move them before most of the pasture gets overgrazed. This is where determining stocking rates or stocking density--used mostly for MIG--is important. The timing of when you decide to move your animals to fresh pasture depends on the pasture size (number of acres), the average body weight of the herd, and the forage quality and quantity. Make sure pastures get a rest period of 25 to 30 days or more to allow plants to come back at an adequate height to be grazed again.


Repeat the process by now tracing the interfacing.

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

Lay the tie outline on the interfacing and use chalk to trace the outline. Then, carefully cut out the interfacing using sharp scissors or a rotary cutter. The interfacing will end up having the same shape as the fabric you cut, but it won’t need added seam allowance so cut directly on the chalk line.


Repeat the process until you have a desired number of flags. Cut double the amount of triangles for fabrics with single-sided designs. Hang the bunting as is or add additional decorations to each triangle.

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

The flags can be close together or spread out, so the number of flags you need to make greatly depends on the look you want to achieve. Start by making 6 to 10 flags. After you arrange them, you can always cut out more. Not all fabrics have a given pattern or color on both sides. To keep the bunting uniform, you will need to stitch together 2 triangles to create a single flag. This way, the pattern or color will visible on both sides. So if you wanted 6 flags, you will need to cut 12 triangles, and stitch them together in pairs.  To do this, layer and pin 2 triangles together so that the pattern is facing inwards. Use a straight stitch to sew 2 of the triangle sides together. If you are not using an equilateral triangle, this would be the 2 longer sides. Accomplish this by using a sewing machine or a needle and a thread. Leave approximately a 1⁄5 in (0.51 cm) seam around the flag. Remove the pins and then push the point of the flag through the unstitched side so that the pattern is right-side out. Press the flag down until it is smooth. Don't worry about stitching the final side to the triangle, as it will be covered with bias binding tape. Repeat this process until all of your flags are completed. For a minimalistic or everyday look, hang the bunting as is. The colors and subtle patterns will make a nice decoration for any room. If the bunting is for a celebration, add shapes or letters to each of the triangles. Consider spelling out someone's name on the bunting, or display a simple message like, “Happy Birthday!” or “Welcome Home!”


Repeat these exercises for several weeks.

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

Each time, try to start the exercises from a lower position. Eventually start from a full hang, with your arms completely straight. See how far you can pull yourself up five times in a row.


Repeat yourself. Explain your reasons for staying sober, if you want to. Change the subject. Avoid giving in. Don't spend time with people who disrespect you.

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

If someone continually offers you a drink, don't be afraid to sound like a broken record. Restate yourself and firmly tell them you won't be drinking tonight. You don't owe anyone an explanation you don't want to give. Maybe your doctor advised you to give up drinking or you're training for an athletic competition. Maybe you're pregnant and don't want to harm the baby. Whatever your reason, state it calmly and answer any questions you feel comfortable with. For example, you could say, "Hey, I appreciate the offer, but I don't drink for religious reasons." Or you could say, "You know, I'm a recovering alcoholic and am 2 years sober. It'd be a shame to break the streak now." Turn their attention elsewhere, if someone persistently offers you a drink. Maybe you could ask if anyone else wants the drink, or you could use the subject of drinks to bring up a new juice cleanse you want to try. Complimenting is a great means of distraction, as the attention shifts from you to the other person. You could say, for example, "Wow, you're always looking out for me. You are such a good friend! How are you holding up lately? Did you finish that presentation you were stressing over?" It can be hard to keep refusing a drink when people are pressuring you, but you can resist them! You likely have a good reason for not drinking, so keep that in mind. Don't let others sway your decision. Stand firm and tell them you do not want a drink. Friends who don't respect your choices do not have your best interests in mind. Walk away from people who pressure you into drinking, and avoid situations around them that involve alcohol. Make friends with people who accept your decisions, even if they don't understand them.


Repeat yourself. Say friends shouldn't pressure you to do something. Seek support from another friend who's there. Say no and turn the pressure around. Say no and leave.

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

Sometimes the situation might become more critical than you expected. Your friend might be pushing you even if you've already said “No, thanks." If the offer becomes insistent, you'll have to make it clear that that is not what you want to do. Saying no again and more firmly is the best thing you can do at this stage.   For example: “No thanks, I told you I don't drink." Even in this case, rudeness is not the best way to go. However, make the tone of your voice firm and look at your friend straight in the eye to make your message clearer. Try this course of action only if repeating your intentions has not stopped them from pressuring you. This will help you change the subject from the unwanted action to peer pressure itself.  For example, “I already told you I don't want to smoke. I don't like to be pushed to do something I don't want to." Once you've done it, you can try discussing peer pressure at large if you're close enough with your interlocutor. It's always a good idea to discuss with your friends what your friendship is based on, especially in critical situations when the friendship itself could be in danger. If someone else is around who shares your ideas, try to get them to back you up by bringing them into the conversation. Do this only if you know the third person will support you. If you're not sure what their opinion on the subject is, wait to see if they speak first and step up to help you.  For example, you can speak in the plural if you're sure your friend will back you up: “No thanks, we don't smoke." You can also address your back-up directly to change the subject, after saying “No, thanks” to the pressurer: “No, thanks, Mike, I don't want to smoke pot. Why don't we go to the movies instead? What do you think, Steve?” This might sound condescending and it's best to avoid pressuring your friends; however, it can bring the subject to an end if other courses of action didn't work out. For example, if your sporty friend offers you a cigarette, you can answer ”I don't smoke, and you shouldn't...


Repel whiteflies with companion plants. Spray your plants with a soap and water mixture. Spray earthworm castings at the base of the plant. Cover the ground in a reflective material.

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

French and Mexican marigolds tend to repel whiteflies, as do nasturtiums. Put these companion plants into your garden to keep the pests from returning! Be aware that this is a preventative measure, and not a great solution for existing infestations. Pot marigolds and calendulas are not effective repellents. Make sure to use the right variety! If you aren't sure, visit a nursery and specifically ask about companion plants that repel whiteflies. In a 32-ounce spray bottle, mix rubbing alcohol with water at a 2:5 ration. Then, add a tablespoon of liquid dish soap. Use the spray bottle to coat the leaves of plants that are at risk for whitefly infestations. If you don't overdo it, the spray shouldn't harm most plants – and it might keep the flies from putting down larvae. Consider using a natural oil spray, such as Neem oil. Earthworm castings, when added to the fertilizer bed of whitefly-infested plants, have been found to repel the flies within a matter of weeks or months. As an added bonus, these castings are a rich natural fertilizer, and they can greatly stimulate plant growth. Ask for earthworm castings at a local garden store. Spread a layer of aluminum foil or reflective plastic mulch on the ground around susceptible plants. This may make it much harder for adult whiteflies to locate host plants, which in turn can bring make them less likely to successfully lay eggs.  This step will require special water considerations. Plants surrounded by plastic mulch will need a drip irrigation system. Do not use mulch in hot weather. Too much mulch may overheat the plants.


Replace all redacted text with [REDACTED]. Copy and paste the text into Windows Notepad. Reformat the document. Save the formatted document as a PDF.

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

Start by replacing all the text you want redacted with the word [REDACTED]. You can do a find and replace search to find all the text that needs to be redacted. This will ensure you redact all the necessary text in the document so it is hidden.  For example, instead of noting the personal information of a customer: “Amy Hempel, 1031 SW Park Ave”, you may replace it with “[INFORMATION REDACTED]” or simply “[REDACTED]”. You can also place black squares or rectangles over information you want to redact. The black squares can be created by drawing long squares over the removed text areas and coloring them solid black. Make sure you delete the text underneath the black squares to ensure the black squares cannot be removed somehow to reveal the information. Make sure you do this for all instances and all variations of the information. You may need to do this manually if you use someone’s name in different ways throughout the document. For example, you may list “Amy Hempel” as “A. Hempel”, “Amy Hempel”, and “Ms. Hempel”. You will need to redact all instances of her name. You can do a find and replace search for every variation of her name or go through the document manually and replace them all with [REDACTED]. Save this version of the document as the “Temp-redacted” version. This will ensure you have two copies of the document, one with the original information and one with the information redacted. Windows Notepad is a simple-text editor that does not save any of the hidden code found in a text file. This format only saves basic text information so no other text that can be uncovered in the document. This is essential, as you do not want someone to be able to trace back to the original code of the text file, thereby exposing the redacted information.  Select all the text in the text file. (CTRL-A or Edit > Select All) Copy the text in text file. (CTRL-C or Edit > Copy) Paste the text into Notepad. (CTRL-V or Edit > Paste) Save the file in Notepad as the “Text-redacted” version. It will be saved as a text (.txt)...


Replace breastfeeding sessions with sippy cups that offer yummy treats. Swap out the breast for a bottle. Use solid food as a replacement for breast milk. Offer healthy snacks to your baby.

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

Keep in mind that healthy can still  be yummy, so avoid unhealthy substitutes. Remember that your baby received his nutrition and immunity from your breast milk and weaning requires added nutrients to keep your baby healthy. Often, breastfed babies refuse to drink from a bottle. Offer the bottle at times other than nap times. Your baby is accustomed to falling asleep in his mom’s arms while sucking on the breast and he will not be receptive to replacing mom and the breast with a bottle. Instead, offer the bottle when your baby is preoccupied, such as when he is going for a stroll in the carriage. This will allow your baby to adjust to the bottle with out giving it much thought on his part or expecting mom to cuddle with him. A baby with a full belly is less likely to want to nurse. Keep food substitutes on the healthy side and refrain from bribing him with unhealthy treats. Yummy snacks are a distraction to your baby, and he may easily forget his desire to nurse at the moment if he sees his favorite snack get pulled out of the cabinet.


Replace decorations. Plan for New Year's. Plan for next Christmas.

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

Decorations are one of the best parts of Christmas, but if you leave them up, it may make you even more sad that the holiday is over. Even worse, the empty walls left behind by decorations you've stored may make you feel even more sad. Find creative ways to redecorate your house now that the holiday is over.  Buy some plants. Greenery will spruce up your home, and you'll be able to care for the plants throughout the coming spring. Buy a new poster or painting. Large Christmas decorations like wreaths or wall-hangings can be replaced with a new poster or painting. Look for something colorful and exciting to accent your home. With a new piece of art where your decorations were, you may not even notice that your wreath is gone. Put up pictures from Christmas. Replace some of your Christmas decorations with photos from the holiday. You'll have a reminder of the good times to replace the actual decorations. Decorate for winter. Winter can be a beautiful time of year if you learn to appreciate it. Decorate your home for the season with a lot of white items, vases accented with twigs, snowflake decorations and evergreen sprigs. Christmas may be over, but New Years is right around the corner. Plan a New Years party to get into the spirit of a different holiday. Invite any family and friends that visited for Christmas and you'll get to spend more time with them. While it may seem a little early to be get ready for another Christmas, it may be helpful to think about what your next Christmas will be like. Make some invitations, and plan what gifts you will give to others. Your plans might change throughout the course of the year, but you'll be able to make your plans into a good distraction.


Replace devices that contain mercury. Handle mercury-containing devices with caution. Recycle items that contain mercury.

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

Once you’ve identified objects that contain or might contain liquid mercury in your home, replace them with items that do not contain mercury.  For instance, trade in your old mercury thermometer for a digital thermometer. If you have, for instance, an old glass thermometer that contains liquid mercury, do not carelessly toss it on your counter.  Instead, place it gently on a padded surface and store it safely. For instance, you might wrap a thermometer that contains liquid mercury in a soft blanket and place it in a sturdy wooden box. Do not throw bulbs or other mercury-containing items in the trash.  They might break, contaminating you or the sanitation workers who recover them.  Instead, contact your local recycling center and ask if they accept items containing mercury.  If they do, follow their directions for disposal. If they do not, ask if they know of another facility that can accept household items containing liquid mercury.


Replace empty calories with fruits and vegetables. Focus on lean proteins. Eat complex carbohydrates. Eat at least 3-4 times a day. Drink plenty of water.

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

If you want to tone your muscles and lose fat, you need to burn more than you take in. It's as simple–and as complicated–as that. To start out with, replace the snack food crackers, chips, frozen dinners, and other highly-processed pre-packaged foods with basic fruits and vegetables.  You don't have to stop snacking if you want to lose weight. But instead of reaching for a handful of chips, have an apple. Instead of munching on Cheetos, have a handful of grapes or almonds and berries. You can't out-train a bad diet. Even if you're working hard, you won't be able to tone your thighs if you're still eating junk. Chicken, fish, and nuts are all excellent sources of protein that are an essential part of building and toning out your muscles as you work. As you're working out, it's important to focus on getting plenty of lean proteins into your diet. 2-3 servings per day. As you're working aim for at least 5-6 servings of complex carbs per day. Brown rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, and whole wheat pastas and breads are excellent sources of carbs for your workouts. Complex carbohydrates take a long time to digest, meaning that they'll fuel your workouts and help you to lose weight. A lot of people are carb-conscious when it comes to losing weight, and that's fine. But it's quick-digesting carbs that you want to avoid, not complex carbs. Your body needs carbohydrates to function problems, so you can't avoid them entirely. It's important to spread your eating out throughout the day, having a variety of small meals and healthy snacks all day long to keep your metabolism high and working for you, instead of against you.  Instead of skipping breakfast, eating an energy bar at lunch and having a huge dinner, eat a full and healthy breakfast, and treat yourself to a handful of almonds and dried fruit when you're feeling hungry at 3 pm. This is a better way to lose weight than skipping meals. Never skip breakfasts. Eating in the mornings helps to energize your body and awaken your metabolism. Breakfast is an important weight...


Replace incandescent bulbs. Turn down your water heater. Seal leaks and drafts. Increase insulation around the house. Upgrade to energy-efficient appliances. Install energy-efficient windows.

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

Incandescent light bulbs create lots of heat as well as light, and this makes them very inefficient. Replacing old incandescent bulbs in your house with compact fluorescent or LED ones will reduce the amount of energy you use on lighting by up to 75 percent. Lighting needs account for roughly 10 percent of your energy use. A single CFL bulb could save you about $30 in energy costs over the course of its life compared to an incandescent bulb. Older tank-style water heaters use a lot of energy keeping the water in the tank hot. In fact, your water heater may account for up to a quarter of your energy use. To reduce the amount of energy your water heater uses, set the temperature of the water to 120 F (49 C).  Don’t set your water heater any lower than 120 F (49 C), as this can allow dangerous pathogens to thrive in your water tank. You'll save energy by turning down the water heater regardless of whether you have a gas or electric appliance, because it requires a lot of energy to produce the gas you use in your house. You can also make your water heater more efficient by covering it with an insulating blanket, and by adding insulating sleeves to the pipes. Keeping your house at a comfortable temperature requires a great deal of energy. Leaks and drafts around the house that let outside air in and climate controlled air out further increase the amount of energy it takes to heat or cool your house. Therefore, you can save energy by sealing your home properly:  Install weather stripping on doors, windows, and attic or crawl space access holes. Seal up mail slots that don’t get used. Seal openings and cracks in the roof, walls, around electrical outlets, and around pipes and wires with expanding caulk or foam. Plug large holes, such as by using a foam product. Install plastic sheeting on drafty windows, or use thick curtains to block drafts. Insulation will also help keep your house at a comfortable temperature without your furnace or air conditioner having to work too hard. Go around your house and check the...


Replace processed flours and sugars with complex carbohydrates. Eat meals that are around 50% fruits and vegetables. Eat around 50-60 grams of protein every day. Replace trans and saturated fats with healthier fats. Stay hydrated by drinking about 2 to 3 litres (68 to 101  fl oz) of water per day.

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

Rather than eating carbs like white bread or sugary snacks like pastries, opt for complex carbs. This includes whole grains like brown rice, chickpeas, oatmeal, and quinoa. You can also look for whole-grain options like bread and pasta. You don’t need to cut out all carbohydrates from your diet, but try to reduce the amount you eat. In addition to reducing unhealthy foods you eat, aim to increase the healthy foods you eat. Eat 5 servings of vegetables per day, including dark, leafy greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli as well as other raw or cooked vegetables. Eat 4 servings of fruit per day, including whole fruit, dried fruit, or smoothies.  If it’s difficult to eat this many fruits and vegetables at first, try to increase how much you eat gradually. Any increase will have a positive effect on your health. Fruit and vegetable juice can add beneficial vitamins and minerals to your diet, but can also add sugar. It’s better to eat the fruit and vegetables instead. Most people, even athletes, eat more than enough protein every day. While it is important to eat protein as part of your exercise and diet routine, you are most likely already eating enough. Try to eat lean protein as much as possible. This includes skinless chicken or turkey, lean cuts of pork and beef, soy, nuts, beans, fish, egg whites, and low-fat dairy. As a rule of thumb, include a piece of meat the size of a deck of cards in 2 out of 3 meals, plus one serving of low-fat dairy at every meal. If you have dietary restrictions, ask a doctor about making sure you get enough protein in your diet. Try adding olive oil, nuts, avocado, and olives into your diet for monounsaturated fatty acids (3 servings per day), and fatty fish like tuna, salmon, and mackerel to get omega-3 fatty acids (2-3 times a week). These are heart-healthy foods and could potentially help blood sugar control for people with type 2 diabetes. Stay away from saturated fats, which are prevalent in red meat and full-fat dairy, as well as trans fats, which are present in processed...


Replace some of the oversalted liquid. Add acid or sugar. Increase the recipe size. Serve over starch. Rinse salty vegetables. Serve at a higher temperature.

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

If you are making a soup, curry, or other liquid dish, the easiest option is to add more liquid. Pour out some of the salty liquid and discard it. Add water, unsalted broth, or milk, depending on the dish. Adding a completely new ingredient is a bold move, but can have high rewards. Acidic and sweet flavors are great choices to complement or obscure saltiness.  Acidic ingredients work with almost any dish. Try citrus juice, vinegar, wine, tomato, or pickled foods.  Besides plain sugar, you could add honey or condensed milk. This works best in combination with acid. Try adding 1 teaspoon (5mL) each of sugar and cider vinegar, then repeat until perfect. If you have the time and pantry supplies, add more ingredients. For instance, add more meat and vegetables to your stew, or unsalted butter to your sauce. This will reduce the ratio of salt to other flavors. This is the only way to fix an oversalted dough. If you prefer more neutral flavors, grind cauliflower to a fine consistency and mix it into the liquid. You can add rice, pasta, or potatoes to almost any dish. Starch is not a special counter to salt, but it is an easy way to increase the recipe size. Don't believe the myth about letting a potato absorb salt from a broth, then throwing it away. The potato absorbs liquid as well as salt. The percentage of salt remains unchanged. Partially boiled vegetables can be rinsed and returned to less salty water. Rinsing can ruin the texture and flavor of steamed, baked, or stir-fried veggies, but may work if you catch the mistake soon after you begin cooking. Temperature affects taste in complex ways, but a cold dish can taste saltier than a hot one. If warming the dish isn't an option, consider serving it with a hot drink like coffee or tea instead. This is a fairly minor effect. Combine it with other solutions.


Replace the fuel filter Check for cracks in the fuel line. See if the fuel pump needs to be replaced Eliminate any water in the fuel.

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

if it’s clogged. Fuel filters are usually located near the back of the vehicle along the fuel line that runs from the gas tank to the engine. They often look like cylinders with a nipple extending from the front and back. Fuel filters tend to get clogged over time, forcing the engine to stall. If your vehicle stalls and won’t start again, but then starts without issue after sitting for a few minutes, it may be a clogged fuel filter. Fuel filters usually need to be replaced every 40,000 miles or so, but because the filter is the easiest and least expensive problem to address, it’s often a good place to start.  Remove the plastic clips holding the fuel lines to the front and back of the filter, then unscrew the bracket holding it in place. Install the new filter by connecting the fuel lines and inserting it into the bracket. Be sure to place a container below the fuel filter to catch any leaking fuel and be extremely careful when working with gasoline. There is a line that runs from the gas tank to the engine of the vehicle that allows gasoline to travel from where it’s stored to where it’s needed. If you’ve run anything over recently, the fuel line may be damaged, allowing fuel to leak out before it reaches the engine. If you’re leaking fuel, you’ll likely smell it too.  Be extremely cautious when dealing with a leaking fuel line. Never drive a vehicle with a leaking fuel line. If the rupture line is rubber, simply remove the hose clamps on either end and replace that stretch of rubber line. If it’s a steel line, you may need a professional mechanic to repair the leak. . If the fuel filter doesn’t solve the stalling issue, the problem may be with your fuel pump. The fuse that powers it may need to be replaced, or you can connect a fuel pressure gauge to the test fitting on the engine’s fuel rail. Have a friend rev the engine and compare the readings on the gauge to the vehicle’s specifications provided by the manufacturer’s repair or owner’s manual.  If the reading does not match your vehicle’s specifications,...


Replace the solid contents. Refill the bowl with clean, aged water. Retrieve your fish. Place fish back in their original bowl. Monitor your fish.

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

Place the gravel and any decorations back into your clean fish bowl before putting clean water in the bowl. Make sure everything is arranged the way it was before so as not to upset the fish by changing their environment. Fill the fish bowl with room temperature water that has been treated or left out overnight to reach room temperature. If you choose to use dechlorinator, be careful not to spill it, as it could leave a chemical smell on your carpet or furniture.  Again, you may wish to use a dechlorinator rather than waiting overnight for chlorine levels to neutralize. If this is the case, make sure allow the water temperature to equalize before placing the fish back in the tank.  Be sure to cover the water or put it out of reach if you have pets or children. This will help you ensure the water is not contaminated while it is aging. Scoop your fish from the temporary holding tank using your fishnet or small bowl. Try to move the fish as quickly as possible to avoid stressing the fish. Also, take care not to drop the fish or let them fall, as they can be badly injured if this occurs. Place your fish back into the fish bowl that has been filled with clean water. Gently lower the fish into the water using a net or a bowl. Do not just dump the fish into the bowl. Fish are most likely to experience stress and environmental or temperature related maladies during and immediately after cleaning their tank. So, keep a close eye on your fish after putting them back in their bowl to ensure they are adjusting well to their cleaned environment.


Replace thread-locking fluid on the screw (recommended).

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

Once you are ready to install a new chuck, dab a bit of thread-locking fluid onto the end of the screw. Roll it on your finger to spread the fluid evenly. If your keyless chuck has no screw, you may need to use thread-locking fluid on the threads of the chuck where it screws onto the drill.


Replace your air filters, furnace filters, and air conditioning filters. Buy an air purifier. Place bowls of activated charcoal around the house.

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

Air that is forced through your home will still contain smoky smells, so replacing any and all filters will begin to purify the air and move clean, fresh air into the home. You can clean filters in TSP solutions. While wearing gloves, simply soak the filter in a TSP solution and agitate it for no more than an hour. Use a brush to further rid of any dirt or remaining odors. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. You can choose to install an air purifier in your home's forced air system or you can buy purifiers that can be placed in a single room. Make sure to take into consideration the size of the room or home, and purchase equipment that is the right size and strength for the area. Note that most air purifiers won't remove gaseous pollutants created by smoke. While those equipped with HEPA filters may reduce certain airborne particles created in relation to the smoke, this won't be 100 percent effective. If you do decide to try this option anyway, do some additional research into the options presently available to find out which, if any, are proven to be effective at removing the odor of smoke. Activated charcoal works to absorb odors over time. Place bowls of charcoal around places within your home that cannot be aired out, such as a windowless room or cupboard space. Over time, the charcoal should soak up the odors.


Replace your cell phone with other physical objects. Use the time you used to spend on your phone for other activities. Sign up for a class to commit to a phone-free evening. Make specific, phone-free plans for the weekend.

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

Carry a portable music player, notepad, book, or similar object to take the place of your cell phone. This can be helpful if you are familiar with the weight or feel of the cell phone in your purse or pocket, or if you used your cell phone for purposes such as taking notes. This can also be helpful if you want to replace a cell phone addiction with another habit. If you want to read more, try bringing a book with you instead of your phone. Use this as an opportunity to rediscover hobbies you used to love, or even to find a new hobby. Or, spend your extra time connecting with the people around you.  For example, if your daily ritual was playing games on your phone or texting during your lunch hour, then read a book or magazine, or listen to music instead. You can also ask a coworker or classmate to join you for lunch or a coffee. Look for self-improvement activities you've been putting off, such as going to the gym, educating yourself, or spending more time with your family. Doing something like pottery, dance, or learning an instrument one evening a night can help you cut down on screen time and learn a new skill. You won't be able to reach for your phone for an hour or more. Doing something with your hands can help ease the anxiety of not having a phone in front of you. If you don't have any specific plans, it can be tempting to sit and scroll through social media. Instead, plan to do something like go for a hike, attend a concert, stroll through a museum, or simply catch up with friends. If you plan to hang out with friends, try leaving your phones face down in the center of the table. Whoever reaches for their phone first has to pick up the tab for coffee, lunch, or drinks.


Replace your sponge every 1-2 weeks. Avoid using the sponge on surfaces that have touched raw meat.

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

Sponges don’t last forever, and the longer you have them, the more bacteria they hold. Try to replace your kitchen sponge weekly if you use it every day, or biweekly if you use it less often. If your sponge starts to smell bad or becomes discolored, throw it away and replace it immediately. Instead of using a sponge, use other materials to clean up raw juices from meat. Opt for a dishcloth, washcloth, or paper towel to wipe down cutting boards and counters. Disinfectant wipes are also a good option for wiping down counters that need to be cleaned. Sponges have crevices that can harbor bacteria easily, but cloths and wipes are less absorbent.


Replace your toilet flapper at the first sign of failure. Take a look at the valve seal seat. Hire a professional for difficult repairs.

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

In order to avoid throwing away money, it’s a good idea to stop running toilets and resolve other water flow issues as soon as you notice them. More often than not, there will be a simple and inexpensive fix, so there’s really no reason not to take care of it right away. You’ll be glad you did when you get your next utility bill.  Some tell-tale signs of a failing flapper are a soft hissing sound (this is the tank refilling itself constantly), low flushing power, or rippling water in the bowl. You may also have to jiggle the handle to get the toilet to stop running after flushing.  Be prepared to change out your toilet flapper every 2-3 years, or more frequently as needed. Sometimes, it’s not the flapper itself that’s to blame for a running toilet, but the circular lip on which it sits. If your toilet’s valve seal seat appears to be worn, split, or peeling, it may be necessary to put in a new one along with the flapper. A seat will help the flapper form a tighter seal and prevent unnecessary water loss.  Look for a valve seal repair kit at your local home improvement store. One of these kits will contain a flexible replacement seat that can fit over the old one using waterproof adhesive.  Don’t underestimate the importance of a working valve seal seat. Without it, your new flapper won’t work properly, and your toilet will still be prone to leaks. If you’ve done everything you know to do to correct a slow leak and you’re still at a loss as to the cause, call in a plumber. They’re specially trained to diagnose and deal with water-related complications that prove baffling to the average homeowner. It shouldn’t cost more than about $50 to retain the services of a qualified plumber, even if they end up having to install a brand new flush valve.  A thorough inspection eye may even turn up more serious problems that you wouldn’t have caught yourself. Whatever you pay out of pocket will be worth it if it means dodging more extensive repairs plumbing repairs later on.


Replace your toothbrushes regularly. Watch what you eat. Eat a well-balanced diet. Clean your teeth after every meal. Get regular cleanings with your hygienist/orthodontist.

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

It is recommended that you replace your toothbrush every three months or more often if the brush becomes worn down. When the bristles are frayed, the toothbrush won't clean your teeth as well.  If you have an interdental toothbrush, you will also want to replace the head often. If your orthodontist doesn't give you a replacement, they are available at some stores. It's great to carry one around with you! The best way to protect your teeth to damage is to keep food that damages teeth or braces out.  Avoid foods that are hard or difficult to chew, like apples, taffy, caramels, corn on the cob, hard pretzels, popcorn, nuts, carrots or bagels. Don't chew on ice or bubble gum.  Cut back or avoid sugar completely. Sugary foods and soda rot your teeth and cause plaque that can lead to gingivitis. Vitamins and minerals found in a healthy diet of fiber, protein, good fats and some carbohydrates will help you fight and keep gingivitis away. Eating well also sustains good health overall, which is just as important. Look for nutritious, high fiber foods like raspberries, whole grains, bananas, greens, squash and other soft fruit. It may seem like a pain, but it is crucial! Gingivitis forms in 48 hours. It can happen from lack of brushing, flossing or improper technique. Not brushing after eating can also cause stains on your teeth when you get your braces off. You should have a yearly exam and cleaning at minimum and more often if you have bleeding or a history of gingivitis. If you can, get an appointment after your tightening. Chances are, you'll have to get the hydro-cleaning as it is sometimes tricky for hygienists to manipulate around your device. The use of water instead of the pick by dental personnel is very helpful for those with gingivitis. Ask if they can use the water jet or do air polishing, which involves baking soda.


Replace your windshield wipers and wiper fluid. Check your tire pressure and consider snow tires. Maintain the battery.

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

Wiper blades crack in the cold and become much less effective, which can be dangerous in inclement weather. Low visibility can make driving in cold weather extremely dangerous, so it's important to make sure the wiper blades are up in tip-top shape. Replace them every 6 months or so. Extreme shifts in temperature affects the pressure of your tires, and driving on tires with inadequate pressure in them can be quite dangerous. Cold tires will read differently than tires that have been warmed, so you'll want to drive around a bit before checking the pressure at the gas station or at the tire shop. If you live in a place with heavy snowfall, consider putting snow tires on your car, or purchasing a set of chains to use in bad weather. Check your local laws on the use of chains however, as they are illegal in some regions due to the risk of damage to the road surface. Winter is tough on batteries, for two main reasons. The battery cannot produce its normal amount of power because of the cold. The chemical reactions that generate electricity are slower at a lower temperatures. Checking your car battery from time to time will help you stay on top of any maintenance issues, but be aware that most car batteries only last between three and five years. In addition, engines are harder to turn over because the oil inside them is thicker. This demands more amperage from a battery. Multi-viscosity oils, such as 10W30, though, alleviate most of this impact.  Check the battery cables and clamps for fraying or corrosion. If there's a white, powdery substance around the clamps, that's corrosion from battery acid. You can clean it off easily with baking soda, water and a toothbrush. Your battery contains a liquid electrolyte, which can evaporate and spill so make sure it has enough inside. Most batteries have caps on top, and you can check the level by removing the caps. If it's low, fill the holes with distilled water, being careful not to fill past any fill level indicator or the bottom of the cap.

Report a problem to an adult. Stand up for other people. Talk with other kids about bullies.

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

No one wants to feel like a tattletale, but bullying is a serious problem. If you or your friends are being bullied, this can cause major damage to your emotional well being. If bullying is physical, it can be dangerous to let it go on.  Find an adult you trust. A teacher, principal, parent, or a worker in your school can help you address bullying. You are not tattling over a small matter. Bullying is serious. If you are getting bullied, chances are other students in your school are as well. You are doing everyone a favor, including the bully, by making sure the situation is appropriately addressed. You can request to change your schedule to avoid bullies. You should never stand by and let bullying happen. If you see other people being targeted by bullies, step up and say something. Consider how you would feel in the same situation. You would likely want someone to help you.  Show kindness to anyone being bullied. If you know a student who's a frequent target of bullies, try to befriend him or her. If you notice a student is being targeted a lot, you should tell an adult. This student could probably use help deterring the bully. If you're unsure of how to cope with bullies, talk to other kids in your school. Other students may be being targeted by the same bully or group of bullies. You can strategize with other students and look into ways to stick together and stand up to the bullies.


Report email scams to your email provider. Write to your local Secret Service field office for financial transfer scams. Notify a company being spoofed or impersonated. Make use of scam reporting services on merchant community websites. Write or call the Federal Trade Commission about telemarketing scams.

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

Most email providers have some sort of spam filter or spam section of the inbox. Any scams or phishing schemes that do not automatically get forwarded to this section can be filed there manually by clicking on the "Spam" or "Report as Spam" button at the top of the email or inbox. When you take this action, oftentimes, the email provider is automatically alerted. If the provider is not contacted, you can go to the provider's help section and find out which customer support email address to forward to scam email. If you receive one of the infamous "Nigerian prince" emails that offer you a large sum of money in exchange for assistance in a financial transaction, forward or fax a copy of the email to the U.S. Secret Service at 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov or 202-406-5031, respectively. The Secret Service keeps all such messages for future investigations. If you receive an email from a company that asks for personal information, such as your Social Security Number, there is a good chance that the email you received is fake and that the company sending it is not the company it claims to be. In cases like these, you should email or call the customer support section of the company being impersonated to inform them of the fact that someone is attempting to phish information from their customers. Online auction websites and other websites through which users buy and sell their own belongings usually have special sections of their websites dedicated to reporting scams. If you see a posting that is clearly a scam, flag it as such and contact the scam section of the website's customer support department. If a company calls with a suspicious offer, such as a free cruise, credit card, or loan offer, alert the FTC by going to their website and filing a complaint via the tools and links on the FTC's website. The FTC can and should also be contacted about email and Internet scams you find, especially if they are scams meant to obtain personal financial information from you.


Report offenses. Join (or start) a diverse organization. Ask your school to teach about racism. Celebrate multicultural history at school. Have your school create a statement on inclusiveness and a zero-tolerance policy.

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

If you’ve experienced prejudice, racism, or discrimination, document it and bring it up to an authority (like a teacher, school dean or principal, or police officer). This is an important way to make sure these actions don’t happen in secret but that people are aware and taking action. It’s important to show others that this kind of behavior is not okay and will not be tolerated. It’s unlikely you’re the only person in your school who feels on the sidelines because of your race. You may be the only Korean at school, but there are probably other people that aren’t in the majority as Laotian, Croatian, or Ecuadorian. Start a club or group for people that are diverse in your school. Unite people who feel different (and those who actively want to support inclusion and diversity) by joining with people that may have similar experiences in similar contexts, and you can begin to create an in-group identity. You can talk about how other people’s misunderstanding affects your life, how you’ve all experienced racism, and how you’ve responded to it. Teaching about racism in school is important so that all students can learn about what racism is, how it hurts, and how to not tolerate it. Ask your teachers and even your principal to include units on racism built in to the curriculum; there are lots of books and lesson plans that address racism. You can also ask your teachers to include books with diverse themes. Ask your school to celebrate the history of other cultures at school. Many people have heard of Dia de los Muertos, but few have heard about Quyllur R'iti , a festival celebrated high in the Andes mountains in Peru, the Aboakyir Festival in Ghana, which celebrates the migration from West Sudan, or Qingming Festival, which is celebrated in China in reverence to one’s ancestors. It can be fun to celebrate other countries’ holidays while learning history, customs, and culture. It’s also important to know devastating events in order to be informed and to not make the same historical mistakes such as Armenian Genocide...


Report serious bullying to an authority figure. It is very important to learn self-defense.

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

Consider your parents, school guidance counselor, principal, or someone else who can punish the bully and protect your safety. It's important that you talk to someone about your problem to get it to end. Do not worry about revenge that the bully may take if you report the incident; they will hurt you anyway and appeasing them doesn't solve your problem. If there is a bullying survey in your school, always write your name down. Do not be embarrassed. You will probably start to talk to someone who is very experienced and this can be surprisingly helpful. You might want to talk to your Mom, Dad or guardian too. Remember: Never be embarrassed by your situation. You are a normal and good person and you're equal to everyone else.    It is always better to use the bully's strength against them, rather than to attack. Should you need to fight, do so with all your strength, not half-heartedly. The defense courses will teach you to do this. There are many martial arts to choose from--pick yours and learn.  A quick kick in the groin will make the person feel dazed and look embarrassed long enough for an escape. Bullies aren't always used to others getting the best of them.     If the bully is grabbing you or pushing you, it's actually an advantage. Try real hard to keep your balance. Grab one of his or her arms with your left hand and hit his or her elbow with the other. Then, using your left hand, push away the remaining arms.     If the groin doesn't work, try the solar plexus (right below the ribs), or kick a knee to make the person trip.     Run and call for help.


Report sinking roadways to the local police or Public Works department. Ask for more investment in local infrastructure. Request that local pipes and septic systems be inspected for signs of aging. Use water sparingly if you live in an area with frequent droughts. Attend community meetings to discuss your concerns.

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

If you notice a roadway is sinking or a piece of land has a large hole forming, call local law enforcement or your Public Works department. They will be able to dispatch someone to check the location and close off the area if necessary to keep people safe. Decisions about money for roadways, utility pipes, and drainage systems that contribute to sinkholes are normally made on a state level. Contact your representatives by calling them, emailing them, or visiting a town hall meeting to ask that they call for an investment in local infrastructure repairs. It’s likely that your representative knows that your area experiences sinkholes, but by bringing it to their attention, you can ensure that they know that their constituents care about this problem. Meet with members of your community to discuss concerns about aging pipes that cause sinkholes. If many of you are concerned, set up a meeting with your local public works department to have the situation addressed. In some cases, the state will have to pay for large-scale replacement. Many neighborhoods have homes that were built around the same time, and their utility pipes will be the same age. If your pipes need replaced, it is likely that the entire neighborhood will need new pipes to prevent sinkholes. Underground aquifers often help to prevent sinkholes because the water fills in cracks and holes that would normally cause settling. If the water isn’t present, the soil and rocks have more space to move and cause sinkholes. In your home, you can take short showers, use sprinkler systems only when necessary, and conserve water as much as possible. If you live in a community with many old homes, it’s likely that the infrastructure such as utility pipes, septic tanks, and roadways are aging, which can cause sinkholes. If you start to notice small sinkholes more frequently, keep track of them and take your findings to the local government’s monthly meeting.


Report the incident. Have follow up testing and medical supervision of your recovery.

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

Check the reporting procedures of your workplace. It is important to let your workplace know what has happened, and the statistics so gathered can help to improve workplace practices for everyone's future safety. This includes injuries with sterile, "clean" sticks. This should be done at required intervals through the window period, the time during which a person exposed to a virus still tests negative, even though the virus is multiplying.  Retesting for HIV exposure usually occurs at six weeks, three, six, and 12 months to look for HIV antibodies. Retesting for HCV antibodies usually occurs six weeks after the incident, and again at four to six months.


Report the mold to your supervisor. Work away from the mold if necessary. Contact OSHA if you report a problem and nothing happens.

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

If you work in a building that has a mold problem, the first step is to contact your supervisor and report the problem to them. They should contact maintenance personnel to fix the problem promptly. If you have a compromised immune system and need to stay away from mold at all times, inform your supervisor of your health issue. Your supervisor should do their best to accommodate you to have working conditions that are safe for you. Ask to work from home or in a different location temporarily until the mold problem is solved. You do not need to worry about bringing mold to another location; it will stay where the moisture problem is. If you report the problem to your supervisor or maintenance and nothing happens to fix the problem, contact your local Occupational Safety and Health Administration.  Visit https://www.osha.gov/html/RAmap.html to find your local OSHA contact information. Explain that your workplace has mold problem and that you have reported it to the company on certain dates but the problem has not been fixed.


Report your injury as soon as it happens. Follow up with your employer. Visit your doctor. Follow the doctor’s advice. Wait to hear from the claims administrator.

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

When you become injured, let your employer know as soon as possible that you have been hurt. Your employer should give you the forms that you need to fill out.  You have a limited amount of time to inform your employer of the injury. If you miss the deadline, then you may lose your eligibility. The amount of time differs by state. Oklahoma workers, for example, have 30 days to report the injury. New Hampshire workers, by contrast, have 2 years.  To be safe, you should report as soon as possible—preferably within a week, unless you know for certain what your state deadline is. If you are the member of a union, then you should tell your union representative of the injury as soon as possible. In many states, employers and unions have created labor-management “carve-outs” which are alternative systems for adjudicating workers’ compensation claims and processing benefits. You want to guarantee that your employer has filed the necessary claims and paperwork on your behalf. After you have completed the required formalities, check in with your employer to make certain they have indeed filed the claim. A medical professional will likely have to verify your claims of injury, and he or she will also be required to fill out some standard paperwork. Double check these documents to make sure they specify that you were indeed hurt on the job and the injury occurred in the workplace.  Your employer may provide workers’ compensation medical care through a workers’ compensation health network. If so, you must visit a doctor in the network. If so, ask your employer for a list of providers. Some states have a list of doctors who are prohibited from treating people seeking workers’ compensation benefits. Your employer should also have a list; if not, check with your state’s Department of Labor. It will be most prudent to follow the doctor’s advice, so that no questions can be raised that your injury has been aggravated by your own conduct. Be sure to attend all appointments and reschedule ones that you can’t make. Also take...


Reposition your screen. Reposition your face. Adjust the brightness and contrast. Clean your screen. Adjust the lighting. Reduce glare. Upgrade your screen. Reposition your work materials.

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

The angle at which you look at your screen can affect the amount of strain on your eyes. Start by adjusting your screen position to slightly lower than eye level.  Specifically, the top of the screen/monitor should be aligned with your eyes, when looking straight ahead. Try tilting the screen/monitor at different angles and heights while you're sitting there and it may help reduce eye fatigue. This angle keeps your neck in a more natural position and results in less work for your eyes. Try to position your face as far as you can from the monitor: 20-40 inches or 50-100 cm is about the right distance.  This may seem like it will make your eyes work harder, but eyes are relaxed at this distance. You may a need larger screen or bigger font sizes to read your screen at this distance. Turn down the brightness, turn up the contrast. This will make your screen easier on the eyes.  Screens that are too bright are hard on the eyes. When there's not enough contrast between blacks and whites on your computer screen this is also hard on your eyes. This is because they have a harder time distinguishing between different items. This can add to eye strain. Cleaning your screen removes electrostatic particles that may be emitted from the computer screen. These particles can push dust toward your eyes, causing irritation and strain. Cleaning your screen can also reduce glare. Wipe down your screen daily with an anti-static solution sprayed onto a cloth. You should try to create an environment that has lighting similar to that of your monitor. The ideal workspace will have soft lights, limited natural light, no fluorescent lighting, and surfaces that don't reflect too much light.  It is important to get the right amount of lux or light that passes through a surface.  Lux is the standard unit of illumination. For ordinary office work you should illuminate the room at about 500 lux. The packaging on your light bulbs should help you select the right amount of light regarding lux.

Repot Trim your lychee to keep it from getting too big. Keep the lychee tree in full sun. Water consistently throughout the year. Treat any pests that appear.

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

every spring. Lychee trees can grow really fast in a single year, so be sure to upgrade to larger pots. Every spring, purchase a large container and carefully transfer the soil and tree. Do this until your tree gets as big as you want.  Choose a pot with drainage holes. Cover the bottom of the new pot with soil. Water your lychee plant to loosen the roots, then pull and rock carefully to avoid breaking roots. Place your plant in the new pot and cover with dirt. Water immediately after replanting. When left alone, lychee trees can get up to 10 feet (3.0 m) tall! Once your plant is the right size for your house or patio, remove excess foliage to keep it that way. Strip off leaves and cut wayward branches.  To keep your tree from getting any taller, cut leaves and branches from the top. The tree will compensate by glowing lower and bushier. Try to produce a rounded shape, which is traditional for lychee trees.  You may not need to prune your tree for the first few years. While shade might not kill a lychee tree, it will completely stop it from growing. Your plant will be content and productive near a window that receives a lot of light. 12 hours of full light is acceptable, even preferable! Dry soil is harmful to lychee plans, so be sure to water every other day. Keep the soil damp, but not waterlogged. Drowning the roots will also hinder growth. Lychee trees can play host to aphids, mealybugs, mites, and other pests. Look for tiny webs, curling leaves, or a white powdery substance. If you see any sign of infestation, treat as soon as possible to prevent the insects from spreading from one area of the plant to another.  Remove insets by hand and cut off affected leaves/branches. If the pests persist, you can use an insecticidal soap or essential oils. Only use commercial insecticides as a last resort.  Pests may not be an issue unless you keep your lychee plant outside in the spring and summer.
