Make sure you've reached Smithing level 100. Unlock the "Steel Smithing" perk. Unlock the next perk. Unlock any following perks. Unlock the "Dragon Armor" perk.

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

To do this, open your Character Menu and select the "Skills" section, then navigate to the "Smithing" perk tree. This tree should say "Smithing 100". Press your action button while Steel Smithing is selected to do so. To reach Dragon Smithing, you will need to have 5 or 6 perk points available, the first of which goes to Steel Smithing. If you go up the left side of the perk tree (which covers light armor and weapons rather than heaver armor and weapons), you will only need 5 perk points. On the left side of the perk tree, this is "Elven Smithing"; on the right, "Dwarven Smithing". While being able to craft the heavier armors on the right might cater to your playing style, the "Advanced Armors" perk on the left will allow you to make heavier versions of any armor. These include:  Orcish, Ebony, and Daedric Smithing (right side of the tree) Advanced Armors and Glass Smithing (left side of the tree) Once you do so, you will be able to craft the basic Dragon Armor.


Make sure you've really got a turtle. Keep the turtle in an aquarium. Use a UV heat lamp and thermometer to control the temperature. Provide a mixture of dry and wet surfaces. Provide plenty of untreated natural spring water. Get a water filter.

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

Turtles have webbed feet and are primarily water-dwelling reptiles, while tortoises have more rounded "elephant-like" feet and spend most of their time on the land. They need similar habitats, but there are some key differences that you'll need to know so you make sure you treat your animal right.  Popular turtles to keep as pets include Sideneck turtles, wood turtles, painted turtles, pond turtles, and slider turtles. Popular tortoises include red foots, Greek tortoises, and Russian tortoises. Turtles are aquatic animals, so they need to live in an aquarium. If the turtle is fairly small, a 5 gallon tank will do. If it's a slightly bigger breed, then it will need a 10 or 20 gallon tank at least. All aquariums should have mesh lids to allow proper air circulation and keep the turtle inside.  You need more than a bowl and a rock to ensure proper health and longevity of a turtle. Those little "Turtle Ponds" you can still find in pet stores are insufficient, and sometimes called "Death Bowls" by experienced turtle keepers. Turtles do grow, so make sure you talk to a turtle or pet retailer about your specific turtle breed, and find out more about the species and how much bigger its likely to get. Get a tank big enough for its ultimate size, not the size it is now. Turtles need about 12-14 hours of sunlight a day for the proper amount of Vitamin D. Purchase a high-quality UV lamp for your tank. Set it up with an automatic timer to make sure the turtle gets the light it needs.  For most turtles, you'll need to keep the aquarium around 78 F (25 C), but some turtles might be able to abide slightly lower or higher temperatures. Heat lamps can generally just be clipped to the edge of the tank and angled down. Install an easily visible thermometer stuck to the side of the tank to make sure the temperature stays consistent. There are a variety of ways to decorate and fill your habitat, depending on the specific species. Aquatic turtles need a mostly wet environment, while tortoises and other land-dwellers will need a lot...

Make sure your German shepherd is getting proper nutrition. Feed your German shepherd age-appropriate food. Feed your dog the correct amount of food for its size and age. Divide food into several smaller meals throughout the day. Give your German shepherd healthy treats. Provide access to water at all times.

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

Since German shepherds large, active dogs and are known to have hips that give out, it's important to make sure they have good nutrition throughout their lives. Make sure to buy healthy food that is not full of filler ingredients. For example, make sure you are feeding a quality food that contains animal protein and doesn't use corn for protein.  You can feed your German shepherd dry or wet food, or a combination of both. If you choose to feed your German shepherd homemade meals, it's important to talk to your veterinarian about what they need to include. This will help ensure that the dog will get a balanced diet. Try to resist giving your dog table scraps, especially if it is begging for them. People food can be unhealthy for the dog and can impact its interest in its healthy food. As your dog ages, it will have different nutritional needs. Feed your dog a food that is designed for its specific age, such as a puppy food when it very young, an adult food when it is in middle age, and senior food when it is in old age.  There are also specific formulas you may need to consider at some point, for example, special foods for large breeds or weight control food for overweight dogs. Talk to your vet about what food will work best for your dog. Because your vet will understand your specific dog's health issues, they may want it to get specific nutritional needs met.  When switching between types of food, for instance when you take your dog off puppy food, do not suddenly change the food. Instead, mix the foods together, gradually increasing the new food and decreasing the old food over the course of several weeks. Look at the packaging of the food to determine the suggested serving size. This should be based on the size and age of your dog. You can also talk to your veterinarian about how much they think your dog should be eating. It is best to divide your German shepherd's daily food into 2 or more smaller meals. Giving smaller meals helps to minimize the risk of bloat, which is a life-threatening swelling of the...


Make sure your Internet Service Provider permits hosting. Create your website's source code if necessary. Install a text editor that can handle PHP documents.

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

While small-time local hosting is usually fine regardless of your Internet Service Provider's policy, creating a website that has a significant amount of traffic from other networks may go against your ISP's terms of use. In most cases, you can upgrade your Internet plan to a "Business" (or similar) account in order to enable support for larger-scale hosting. If you don't have a website document that you can use for your home page, you'll need to create one. Depending on whether you use a Windows computer or a Mac, this will vary:   Windows — Notepad++ is your best bet.  Mac — You can download a free text editor called "BBEdit" by going to https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/ and clicking Free Download on the right side of the page.

Make sure your baby is up to date with all of her immunizations. Wash your hands. Don't touch the “T” zone. Keep your baby home when he is sick. Avoid sharing.

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

Keeping on top of your child's immunizations — including her yearly flu shot — will help decrease the likelihood of her getting sick. In nearly all situations, keep your hands clean since your hand is the direct part of your body that comes into contact with germs and transfers it to other parts of the body.  Wash hands, in particular, before eating, after using the toilet, petting or playing with an animal, using public transportation, or after visiting a sick person. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly — front and back, between fingers, under your nails, and for at least twenty seconds with warm water and soap. Keep hand sanitizer with you when you travel or do not have access to soap and water. The T zone consists of the forehead, nose, and chin that forms the letter “T” on the front of the face. The nose, mouth, and eyes that, located within the T, are the primary points of entry for viruses and bacteria to enter the body and cause infection. Guard against all bodily fluids that exit the “T” zone as well: cover your mouth when you cough, your mouth and nose when you sneeze, and wipe your nose when it is runny (then wash your hands!). Keep your child home and out of daycare when he is ill or has a fever to prevent spreading it to others. If you know friends or family are sick, try to keep your baby away from these people until they are well again. Try not to share drinking cups, water bottles, or utensils with your baby since this is an easy way to transfer germs from one person to another, especially from parent to baby, who has not built an adequate immune system yet. Avoid putting your baby's binky in your mouth as a way to clean it and then putting it back into your baby's mouth. Adult germs are powerful inside baby's mouth and can easily cause an illness. The same goes for toothbrushes.


Make sure your back is at a right angle to your thighs. Check your posture by sitting on your hands. Adjust your legs and keep your feet flat while sitting. Find a supportive chair to help you maintain good posture. Adjust your computer monitor to help with your posture. Make adjustments to your seat to maintain good posture while driving. Take standing breaks when you're sitting for long periods.

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

Maintain your thighs at a right angle to your calves. Keep your shoulders straight and squared, your head upright, and your neck, back, and heels aligned. Align your back with the back of the office chair. This will help you avoid slouching or leaning forward, which you may find yourself doing after sitting too long at your desk. Put your hands under your sit bones while you are sitting on the floor. Make sure that your palms are facing down. Adjust your position until you can feel the weight centered on each of your palms. This is your optimal seated position. Your feet should be flat on the floor, facing forward. Don't cross your legs or ankles. Make your thighs parallel to the floor. If your feet don't touch the floor, use a footrest. Use a chair that's ergonomically designed for proper support, meaning it supports all of your back, even the curve at the bottom. Also, make sure it's designed for your height and weight. If you can't get a new ergonomic chair option, try using a small pillow for lumbar support in the small of your back. If you work on computers at an office, angle the monitor slightly upward so that it forces you to sit up. However, don't set it so high that you push your chin out to see it.  You may need to move your chair up or down if you can't angle the monitor properly. Adjust your chair and your position so that your arms are flexed, not straight out. Aim for roughly a 75- to 90-degree angle at the elbows. If they are too straight, you're too far back, and if they are more than 90 degrees, you're either sitting too close or you're slouching. Adjust your seat to maintain a proper distance from the pedals and steering wheel. If you're leaning forward, pointing your toes, or reaching for the wheel, you're too far away. If you are bunched up with your chin on top of the steering wheel, you're too close.  Use lumbar support for the curve of your back when possible. Adjust the head rest so the middle of your head rests against it. Your head shouldn't be more than 4 inches (10 cm) away from...


Make sure your bath bombs are completely dry before wrapping them. Place the bath bomb onto a piece of plastic wrap. Pull the plastic wrap tightly over the bath bomb. Pinch the plastic wrap together at the base of the bath bomb. Twist the tail of the plastic wrap several times to seal it. Cut off the tail of the plastic wrap. Place a sticker or a piece of tape over the base. Store your bath bombs in a cool, dry place.

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

For homemade bath bombs, this usually takes at least 24 hours, but may take longer if you’re in a humid area. If you wrap the bath bombs while they’re still wet, they may fizz early or fall apart.  If live in a humid area, it may take up to 48 hours for your bath bomb to fully dry. If you bought your bath bombs from the store, they will already be dry. Use regular plastic wrap that’s typically used in kitchens. Place the plastic wrap down on the counter and then put the bath bomb onto the center. The bottom of the bath bomb will be facing up.  Alternatively, you can put the bath bomb on the counter and then drape the plastic wrap over it. In this case, the bottom of the bath bomb will be the side that's on the counter top. Some people find this to be easier. For professional results, try not to wrinkle your plastic wrap before you get it onto the bath bomb. The plastic wrap should be wrapped as tightly around the bath bomb as you can get it so that the seal is airtight. You should have excess plastic wrap hanging from the bottom of the bath bomb. This is considered the base of your bath bomb. The base of your bath bomb is where you will seal the plastic wrap. You shouldn’t have any slack in the plastic wrap. The bomb should be tightly covered. Make sure that the plastic doesn’t loosen around the bath bomb. Your twists should be pulling it tighter and locking out any air. Continue twisting until the top of the tail near the base is tight. Make your cut as close to the bath bomb as possible without cutting into the wrap itself. You will have just a tiny nub of the tail remaining. If you’re worried about messing up, you can always trim the tail multiple times, working toward the base. The sticker or tape will seal the bath bomb until you’re ready to use it. This will prevent the tail nub from unraveling. Tape works great, but you may want to use a nice sticker for a more professional look. Even in plastic wrap, bath bombs are sensitive to humidity. For best results, keep them in a cabinet where they are less...


Make sure your battery pack is charged. Plug in your iPad using the USB cable. Wait for it to charge.

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

Make sure your bedroom is sleep-friendly. Engage in relaxation techniques. Stay away from stimulants and alcohol before bed. Stay off your computer and phone. Find a way to wind down.

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

If you're having trouble falling asleep at night, make sure your bedroom is suitable for sleeping. Difficulty sleeping may be resolved by making a few simple alterations to your bedroom.  Keep your sleep life and wake life separate. Do not keep electronic devices like laptops and televisions in your bedroom. Do not do work or go online in bed. Your bedroom should be for sleep alone. This will send a signal to your body that, when you enter the bedroom, it's time to wind down. If you live in a studio or dorm, consider hanging a tapestry or sheet between your bed and the rest of the apartment.  Make sure your bedding is comfortable. All cotton sheets are best, as they tend to cause less irritation. Make sure pillows, comforters, and mattresses are not made from allergens. If your mattress is old or lumpy, consider a replacement. If you cannot afford a replacement mattress try investing in a foam sleep pad from a department store.  Pay attention to temperature. The ideal temperature for sleeping is between 65 and 67°F (18.3 and 19.4°C). Invest in an air conditioner or box fan if your room is too warm. If you live in an area where it gets cool at night, try leaving your windows open. Many people have trouble sleeping because they have difficulty shutting out daytime thoughts. If this is the case for you, engaging in relaxation techniques before bed can help.  Take a series of five breaths. Place your hand on your belly and breathe in, channeling air in such a way that your hand rises with your stomach. Hold for three counts and then exhale for three counts. Repeat five times.  Stay in the present moment by tuning into your senses. Pay attention to how your body feels, how the mattress and sheets feel against your skin. Notice any sounds you hear from the window and any other sensory experiences.  Try tensing and then relaxing your toes. Pay attention to how your toes feel, tense them, hold for 10 seconds, and then release. Stimulants, like nicotine and caffeine, as well as alcohol can interfere with your sleep....


Make sure your breath is minty fresh and clean. Approach the kiss with confidence. Set the mood.

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

Naturally you practice good oral hygiene, but if you have any doubts about your breath, take a breath mint shortly before the kiss.  Make sure to finish the mint or gum before you lock lips. Be careful, as some mints may leave a bad aftertaste and make your breath worse. Water is the best bet! It leaves no aftertaste, freshens your mouth and does not leave you thirsty. Try to kiss their cheek so they turn their head your way. Once you've chosen the right moment to kiss someone, there's no turning back, especially if it's your first time kissing that particular person. Be decisive and confident. If the person doesn't want the kiss, he or she will let you know, but until then, act as though you're a pro. If you truly want your kiss to be passionate, you will need to set the right mood. That doesn't mean that you have to throw rose petals everywhere and light a hundred candles, but you should be some place without many distractions--that way you can both focus on each other (and your passionate kiss).


Make sure your car is properly locked. Store your keys in a secure location in your home. Purchase a key signal blocking case to prevent thieves from amplifying its signal. Park your car in your garage if you have one. Place a car cover over your car if you want to make it harder to get into.

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

When you get out of your car, walk around it and check that every door is locked. It's also a good idea to make sure the trunk is closed and ensure that all of your car's windows are fully closed as thieves can use open windows to break into cars. Most people tend to put their keys right next to their front door. This will only make you more susceptible to keyless car theft. Thieves can amplify your key's signal from your front door and unlock your car.  A good place to put your keys is on the kitchen table. The kitchen is usually located at the back of the home and is, therefore, one of the furthest points from your car. A tin/aluminum container will also block signals and can be used as an alternative. Hide your spare keys in a different but equally secure location. Companies have started selling these cases to help car owners protect their keys. These cases will completely block your key's signal so thieves cannot use it to unlock your car. Place your keys in the pouch when you're at home, school, or work. You can buy these cases online from as low as $5. If thieves want to steal your car and it's parked in your garage, they'll need to break into your garage to get to the car. If your car is parked in your garage, criminals are less likely to see it and identify it as an item to steal. Make sure your garage is secure if you do store your car in there. Car covers make it much more awkward for thieves to steal your car. If you don't have a car cover, use some tarpaulin or another material to cover your car. Even if the criminals unlock the car, they'll have to take the cover off the car to get in. This increases your chances of catching them. If you want to buy a car cover, try your local garage or car dealership to see if they sell them.


Make sure your cat has a scratching post. Trim your cat’s nails Use a spray bottle to discourage your cat from scratching the screens. Apply strips of double-sided tape to the windows for a quick fix. Spray a scratch deterrent onto the area to repel the cat. Install chicken wire over your window to discourage climbing. Replace your screen with a pet-proof screen if nothing else works.

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

It will be much easier to keep your cat from scratching the screens if it has another place to go when it needs to sharpen its claws. You can purchase a scratching post from a pet supply store or you can make your own from particle board, a post, and carpet or rope.  Indoor cats don’t have as many options for wearing down their claws, and they can become painfully overgrown. If your cat is scratching a screen, use vertical scratching posts rather than horizontal ones. regularly. This won’t completely prevent your cat from clawing at your screen, but it can help deter it. If your cat has shorter, dull claws, it won’t be able to get as good a grip on the screen, helping discourage it from climbing or scratching the screen.  In addition to helping to protect your screen, trimming your cat’s claws will help keep your cat comfortable. Take care not to cut your cat’s claws down into the quick. This can lead to pain, bleeding, and sometimes even infection. If your cat resists having its nails trimmed, take it to a professional groomer to avoid either yourself or the animal from being injured. Every time you see your cat getting near the screens, spray it with a little water. This won’t hurt your cat, and it will send the message that it should stay away from the screen.   A common household spray bottle will work, but if it previously held a chemical cleaner, make sure you wash the bottle out completely. You can also use a water gun. You’ll get a more targeted spray, plus it will help relieve some of the frustration caused by your cat scratching your screens! Cats can’t stand the feeling of anything sticky on their paws. If you lay strips of double-sided tape across your screen, your cat may begin to associate the screen with that sensation and leave it alone. You can use regular double-sided tape, or you can purchase one that’s specifically designed as a cat deterrent. Most spray-on scratch deterrents are made from herbs which either smell pleasant or are odorless to humans, but cats can’t stand the smell. You may...


Make sure your child can carry a backpack. Ask if the school has any requirements. Figure out what will go in the backpack. Determine your budget. Plan to shop in person with your child. Check for sales and coupons.

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

Backpacks can shift your child’s center of gravity, so they’ll need to be good walkers before they start wearing one. If your toddler still stumbles regularly and has trouble carrying things while walking, they may not be ready to carry a backpack. Some preschools and daycares don’t allow wheeled bags, large backpacks, or bags with characters on them. Check with the school before shopping to avoid having to make a return. A toddler should not be carrying more than ten percent of their body weight in a backpack. For a 30-pound (14 kg) child, that means a 3 lb (1.3 kg) load, including the actual backpack. If your child has too many things to carry in their backpack, get them a lunchbox, gym bag, or other item to carry in their hands. Your child will outgrow their backpack quickly, so spending less than what you would on an older child’s bag is a good idea. Set a price limit before you go shopping. Buy your toddler’s backpack in person, not online. You’ll need to make sure that the backpack fits your toddler and that they can walk comfortably with it, so make plans to take your preschooler with you to the store. Check several different stores in your area to find the best deal on a backpack. Most stores offer coupons or sales advertisements on their website or app, or in newspaper inserts.


Make sure your child eats several hours before bed. Minimize day naps to 10-15 minutes. Keep your child’s room dark and quiet. Let your child entertain herself in bed. Encourage your child to do a morning stretch before getting out of bed.

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

Some children wake up early in the morning due to hunger and have a hard time going back to sleep until they get something to eat. This can then lead to a very early breakfast for your child and for you, and throw off the rest of the day’s meals. Prevent morning hunger by ensuring your child eats a substantial dinner two to three hours before bedtime. You can also prevent an early morning breakfast by putting off breakfast in the morning. Instead of giving your child breakfast as soon as they wakes up, try to postpone giving her breakfast. Do this gradually by waiting ten minutes after your child wakes up to make breakfast. Add on ten minutes each day until you can postpone breakfast for an hour. Your child will be less likely to wake up early for breakfast if they know they will need to wait anyway for a meal. Keep in mind your child only needs 10-12 hours of sleep within 24 hours, and most of those sleeping hours should be done at night. You do not want your child to fulfill her sleep requirements by napping too much during the day. Limit daytime naps so they are only 10-15 minutes at a time and occur once or twice a day. Be sure not to limit napping during the day too much, as you do not want your child to be overly tired by the end of the day. Many children are woken up by noise or light in the morning. Minimize the morning light in your child’s room by using thick curtains or shades and making sure they are drawn before your child goes to bed.  You should also note if there are any sources of noise, like an appliance in the kitchen, or a rowdy dog sleeping in the hall, that could wake up your child early in the morning. Move the source of noise away from your child’s room so they can sleep in peace. You can also keep your child’s door closed and muffle any outside noise with heavy curtains. Some parents put the lamp or light in their child’s room on a timer so it does not come on until the child’s wake up time. This can help your child remember when it is time to wake up and ensure they are not woken up...


Make sure your child gets enough fluids. Prepare bland, starchy foods. Remove seeds and skins from food. Go for snacks high in salt. Give your child popsicles and jello. Include low-fat yogurt in your child's diet. Avoid spicy or fatty foods.

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

Dehydration is a common complication of diarrhea. Prevent your child from becoming dehydrated by ensuring she drinks a lot of fluids. Give her plain water for the first one to two hours of the diarrhea and then switch to liquids that contain sodium and other nutrients, such as milk. Too much plain water can be harmful, as water does not contain any sugars or key electrolytes. She should drink at least eight to ten glasses of liquid per day to ensure she stays hydrated.  Avoid giving your child fruit juices like apple juice or any other full fruit juice. Fruit juices can make her diarrhea worse. However, if your child is not a fan of plain water, you can add a splash of juice to the water to give it a bit of flavor. Do not give your child any carbonated drinks or drinks that contain caffeine, such as soda or caffeinated teas. These can also make diarrhea worse.  If your child has issues with dairy products or if your child's diarrhea seems worse after she consumes dairy, do not give her milk to drink. Instead, give her water mixed with a rehydration solution, such as Rehydralyte and the World Health Organization's oral rehydration solution. You can also try Pedialyte and Infalyte, which you can get over-the-counter at your local drugstore or supermarket. Older children can also drink sports drinks to rehydrate, such as Gatorade. Always consult your doctor before using any rehydration solutions for infants or children under 1 year old. Most children with diarrhea will respond best to foods that are bland and high in starch. If you cook any foods, season it with only salt and pepper. Try baking or broiling foods so they do not have a strong flavor or a strong taste that will turn off your child. Example foods you can prepare include:  Baked or broiled meats, such as beef, pork, chicken, fish, or turkey. Boiled eggs. Toasted slices of white bread. Plain pasta with cheese or white rice. Cereals like cream of wheat, oatmeal, and cornflakes. Pancakes and waffles made with white flour. Baked potatoes or mashed...


Make sure your child gets protein every day. Include carbohydrates in your child’s lunch. Make sure your child gets plenty of vitamins, minerals, and fibers. Include dairy products that give your child calcium. Send food that your child likes.

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

Protein helps your child to grow. They also help in the production and renewal of cells. Consider making your child a sandwich that contains proteins. Foods that contain protein include:  Meats like turkey, beef, pork, and chicken. Fish like tuna, salmon, and halibut. Cheese like mozzarella and cheddar. Tofu, beans, and eggs. Carbohydrates, or carbs, help to boost your child’s energy levels. However, there are some carbs that are better than others. Avoid giving your child simple sugar carbs like candy. Instead, give your child complex carbs like:  Whole grain products like whole wheat bread, or whole grain pasta. Brown rice. Green vegetables like spinach. Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes or corn. Lentils, beans, peas and other legumes. Vitamins and minerals can help to boost your child’s immune system and keep their body functioning properly. Fiber helps to keep your child’s digestive system running smoothly. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Calcium helps to build strong bones and teeth. It is an important part of a growing child’s diet. Choose low-fat dairy products to give your child, rather than whole-fat. Some dairy products include:  Yogurt and cheese. If you pack milk, make sure it is in a thermos where it will not spoil. While keeping nutrition in mind is important, you should also think about what your child likes to eat. If you struggle to get your child to eat certain veggies at home, it is very unlikely that they will eat that particular veggie at school when you are not there. Send the food that you child loves and will definitely eat without your supervision.

Make sure your dog has identification on it. Feed the dog. Give the dog a space of its own. Give the dog a name and teach it to respond to it. Buy treats you can use to train the dog.

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

Give your dog a collar with a name tag and your number on it. Make sure it fits comfortably on your dog's neck. An abused dog may get spooked or escape from you, and you want to make sure that if it does get away from you it can be identified. Give it its favorite food at regular times during the day. It is recommended that a dog be fed twice a day.  You should also give your dog open access to water at all times. Feeding, walks, play, and grooming should all happen at predictable times each day because having a routine will build a sense of security for your dog. This is usually a crate or a bed that the dog feels comfortable on. There are a wide variety of dog pillows and baskets in pet shops that you can buy for it.  The dog's space should serve as a place where it can take a break. If your dog is feeling overwhelmed or fearful, make sure to allow the dog to return to its safe space and leave it alone. You can also give the dog some toys to play with on its own. Most dogs won't like every toy you give them, but instead will choose a favorite and ignore others completely. Always call your dog by its name and try not to change it. Changing names will just confuse the dog. Having a name that your dog will respond to will keep help you to bond with the dog. Use a happy and upbeat tone of voice when you call the dog by name. This will help to build good will between you and the dog. Try lots of different treats until you find its favorite. Give it snacks when it's good, follows a command, or does a trick.


Make sure your dog is calm. Spray the coat with detangler. Brush your dog. Hold the mat at the base. Untangle the mat with your fingers. Rub cornstarch into the mat. Pick the mat. Comb through it with a dematting comb. Try a mat rake. Finish brushing.

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

Removing mats can be an extremely uncomfortable process for your dog. Dogs have very sensitive skin, and mats can pull and put stress on the skin. Pet your dog, talk to him in a calm voice, and give him treats as you begin. Try to get the dog to lie down if you can. Before you begin, you can spray your dog's coat with a detangling spray. This can help loosen up mats and make them easier to brush out. Leave the detangling spray on the coat for a few minutes. Detangling sprays may not always work. They will not work on severe mats in your dog's coat. Use a slicker brush to locate the mats. A slicker brush has wire bristles that are slightly bent at the ends. Make sure the bristles don't touch your dog's skin. Mats are often found around the ears, below the neck, under the belly, and along the back legs. Take the base of the mat into your hand, at the section closest to your dog's skin. This protects your dog's skin from excess pulling and damage as you try to work out the mat. It also keeps you from giving your dog's skin brush burn since your hand is between the brush and the dog's skin. When you find mats, start to untangle them with your fingers. Make sure to be extra gentle. Mats pull painfully at your dog's skin. Ease the hair in the mat apart a little at a time.This will take awhile, so you need to have patience. Cornstarch is often used as a dematting aid. It can help loosen and untangle the fur. You can also try spraying a light coat of coconut oil onto each mat and then combing out. When the mat is very tangled and your fingers aren't working, try picking through it with a comb or other dematting tool instead of just combing through it. This picking action helps break up the hair. Lift the tool in and out of the hair instead of pulling in through. Go from the ends up towards the base. You want to loosen the hair. Don't worry about separating completely. Once you separate as much of the mat as you can with your fingers, run through the mat with a dematting comb. Pull the comb through the mat from the...


Make sure your dogs are friendly with each other. Walk both dogs with another person. Hold the leases in a way that feels comfortable for you. Practice with short walks in calm areas. Build up to busier areas and longer walks. Correct competitive behaviors.

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

If you want to walk your dogs together, make sure they get along first. If you've had both dogs for awhile, you may already know how well they get along. If your dogs are generally friendly with one another, they'll probably adapt well to walking together. If one dog is new, however, you may want to wait a bit before attempting to walk them together. They may need time to get used to another before they can be good walking companions. You should also make sure your dogs are friendly with other dogs. If your dogs sometimes get territorial on their own during walks, they may develop a pack mentality when walking together. This can result in a lot of aggression. If one or both of your dogs tends to be territorial, keep in mind you'll have to quickly correct any aggressive behavior during the walk. If your dogs have never walked together before, it's a good idea to start out walking the dogs with another person. You can walk one dog, and a friend or family member can walk the other. You can walk side-by-side, keeping the dogs parallel. Do a few brief training sessions, in calm areas, with another person to walk one dog. If your dogs are already friendly with each other, this may not be necessary. If one dog is relatively new to the home, however, this step can really help your dogs get used to one another while walking. There is no strict right or wrong answer when it comes to holding two leashes during a walk. A lot depends on the size of your dogs, and your sense of control. Some people feel like they have adequate control holding the leashes in a single hand. However, with bigger and stronger dogs, you may feel better holding one leash in either hand. If one dog is bigger or stronger, you may want to hold his leash in your dominant hand. Once your dogs are comfortable walking side-by-side, you can start walking them together. However, you should start slow. Have brief training sessions in areas free of outside distractions.  Choose a calm area free of distractions. You can practice walking your dogs in your...


Make sure your drinking is not putting you or others at risk. Pace yourself when you are drinking and be responsible. . Eat healthy Call your parents when you are sober. Surround yourself with good, stable friends.

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

While drinking with friends can be fun to do on weekends, drinking alcohol can swiftly become a serious problem if it starts to get out of control. One of the signs of alcohol abuse is hiding your drinking from loved ones, including family and friends, as you are aware that you can no longer control your drinking. You may feel guilty or ashamed of your drinking and lie about drinking or keep it hidden to prevent being judged or questioned about it. If you are hiding your drinking from your parents because you suspect you may have a drinking problem, you should seek help right away.  You may seek help by talking to a university counselor ora therapist on campus. You may also talk to close friends and discuss your struggles with your drinking. It may also be a good idea to talk to your parents about your drinking, as they will likely care more about your safety and well-being than whether or not you are drinking irresponsibly. It may be worth reaching out to your parents, as they can help you and support you. Keep count of how many drinks you have throughout the night and recognize your limits. This could be three beers, four glasses of wine, or even one pint. Once you start to feel like you’ve had too much, stop yourself or ask friends around you to make sure you stop drinking. If you drink too much, you could end up doing irrational things that could put yourself or others in danger. There could also be consequences that would require a call to your parents to let them know you were drinking irresponsibly.  You should also keep an eye on your drinks when you are at at a bar or in a club, as you do not want to drink a spiked drink and end up getting into a bad situation. Do not drink and drive, as this can lead to serious consequences that can put your life and the lives of others in danger. You should also discourage others from drinking and driving. tay fit.

Make sure your entire cast and crew knows the script and message of the ad. Set up the actors' blocking. Light the scene around the blocking. Set up your microphones to pick up as much dialogue as possible. Pick up some B-roll once you have all of your essential footage.

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

Before you begin filming, pass out a copy of the shooting script and briefly outline the goals of the commercial. Let people know if there is a specific tone you are going for (comedic, serious, etc.) so that they can do their jobs according to your vision.  If you are shooting across multiple days or locations, highlight the moments you will be filming that day and quickly tell people how the fit into the final commercial. If working with a DP, review the camera and lighting choices ahead of time so that you are ready to shoot when everyone arrives. Blocking is where people stand and where they move. Set your cast and crew up, and use a small piece of tape to mark their locations on the floor. If they will be moving around, mark the spots they move to and from separately. Keep the blocking simple -- have people walk in straight lines and stand when delivering lines. This will make everyone's job easier while filming. Once you know where your actors are standing you can adjust the lighting so that they are visible and clear. Unless you're going for a very specific effect (such as police lights on a law firm's commercial) you want to keep the light even and natural. Avoid big bright spots or faint, almost gray light. Try and get even lighting on everything, with few bright spots and several dark, deep shadows.  It can help to set your camera, briefly, to Black and White to check the lighting. Does the picture still look interesting in black and white? If so, your lighting is good. If you don't have professional lights you can pick up clamp lights and work lights from home improvement stores, which have been used to light many independent productions. If you are filming the video yourself, be sure to use your camera's "white balance" feature before starting. This adjusts the camera to the lights so that it looks natural. The microphones attached to the camera will work, but the sound quality will be poor and the final production will be amateur-sounding. It is proven that most audiences notice bad sound before...


Make sure your epoxy resin is mixed. Pour some of the resin into a 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) container. Use powdered pigments to leave tiny particles in the finished mixture. Color with liquid pigments for a smoother, more consistent finish. Stir in the colorant so that it is less than 6% of the mixture’s weight. Repeat this process for the rest of your resin.

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

If you haven’t already mixed your resin with a hardening agent, you’ll need to do so before proceeding. Follow the instructions that came with your resin to determine the proper ratio of resin to hardener you need to achieve. Protect your eyes and skin by wearing safety goggles and rubber gloves as you carry out this process. You’ll want to test your colorant in a separate mixing container to see how it affects your resin before adding it to the whole mixture. For best results, use a mixing container that includes volume measurements on the side. For example, a good container to use would be a small measuring cup that comes with cough syrup. Powdered colorants like chalk, toner powder, and even herbs and spices will not only color your resin, but will also produce a grainy finish that might enhance your project.  You should definitely avoid using powdered pigments if you want your colored resin to have a smooth finish. Paprika is perhaps the most commonly used spice for coloring resin, but feel free to experiment with other granular spices in your kitchen to see which one works best for you and your project. Colorants such as children’s watercolor paint or dyes for home use can also be used to color epoxy resin. These produce a much smoother finish in your resin and are arguably easier for amateurs to mix with epoxy resin. Nail polish and alcohol inks are also commonly used to color epoxy resin. Whichever colorant you use, you’ll want to make sure you don’t add so much that it disrupts the chemical reaction that naturally takes place in resin. Aim to add an amount of colorant that would make up 2%-6% of the finished mixture, stirring as you add it to the resin.  If you’re not sure how much colorant to add, start out by adding a very small amount and continually increase the amount you use until it produces a satisfying color. Stir the mixture for about 1 minute, making sure there are no bubbles in the end result. Add more colorant to the resin until it produces the color effect that you’re looking for. Then,...


Make sure your exhaust pipe is clear. Alert others to your presence. Stay in your car. Keep active. Turn your engine on periodically. Stay hydrated and well-nourished.

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

Clear away any snow and ice that may accumulate around it. Do this immediately. A blocked exhaust pipe may cause carbon monoxide to build up in a sealed car, causing poisoning and death. Turn on your hazard lights or set road flares. This will help rescuers find you and prevent other drivers from hitting your car. If your cell phone is working, call emergency services. Other than to clear the exhaust or set flares, you should not leave your car. Your car will provide warmth and protection you will need to survive.  An exception would be if you see a building nearby that you can safely get to. Attempt to seek shelter there instead.  The low visibility of a blizzard means that you will be easily lost. Even if you don't go far, there is a good chance you will not be able to find your way back to your car. Do not take that risk. Do small exercises, such as clapping your hands or wiggling in your seat. This will help keep your heart rate and circulation at a safe level. When stuck in a confined space like a car, you will be more prone to poor circulation. Poor circulation contributes to frostbite. Start your engine once an hour to help stay warm. Run the heat for no more than 20 minutes at a time. Make sure to keep checking that your exhaust is clean. Drink from your bottled water regularly. Eat from your emergency supplies. This will help to prevent hypothermia. If you run out of water, do not eat snow. The cold will reduce your body temperature. Instead, melt snow using the can and matches from your emergency kit. Only drink once thoroughly melted.


Make sure your feelings for the best friend are real. Tell your ex one on one in a private setting. Use “I” statements. Maintain open, positive body language.

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

Though you may be wrapped up in emotion right now, you should pause and consider how deep your feelings are for the best friend. This may be especially important if you broke up with your ex-partner recently and are still feeling raw over the break up. Your emotions may end up leading you to your ex’s best friend, for perhaps the wrong reasons.  Sometimes, you can end up fooling around with your ex’s best friend as a form of retaliation. This may occur consciously or unconsciously, where you use the best friend to get back at your ex. Or, you may be more into the sneaking around and hiding you have to do with the best friend and find the risk exciting. These may be fleeting emotions that are superficial or fleeting. You should consider if your feelings for the best friend are the real deal before you sit your ex-partner down for a chat. You may also ask mutual friends about what they think of your new relationship. Sometimes getting an outside perspective on the relationship can help you to put it in perspective. If you feel the relationship is meaningful and could lead to a serious relationship, it may be time to talk to your ex-partner about it. Do this by contacting your ex and asking for a one on one, in person meeting. Choose a neutral meeting spot, like a park bench or a coffee shop. This will make your ex feel more comfortable with meeting you and make the meeting seem less intimidating.  Try to tell your ex-partner in person, and do not share the news over text. Doing this may come across as cold and disrespectful to your ex. You should also try to tell your ex-partner before word gets around about your new relationship, as you want your partner to hear the news from you. You may decide to bring the best friend to the meeting. However, you may want to be cautious about doing this, as this may anger your ex-partner. When you tell your ex, you should make sure you are being accountable for your actions and choices. Do this by using “I” statements as you tell your ex about your new relationship. Speak...


Make sure your floor is level. Clean the sub-floor surface. Remove any molding or baseboards from the edges of the walls. Take off the doors. Cut underneath the doorjambs to make room for the new flooring.

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

Using a level, check your floor for bumps or low spots. If you are replacing old flooring, then the floor will usually be level, but if you are installing a floor in a new house you need to be sure the surface is flat.  Use a hammer and chisel to grind down high spots. Use a leveling compound to fill in any low spots. The sub-floor is the layer of wood or concrete underneath your tiles, carpet, or wood flooring. Use a broom to sweep up and dust and debris and remove any lingering adhesive with a paint scraper. Pry off the baseboards carefully and set them aside to reinstall after you've finished the floor.  Place a putty knife of a thin metal blade in between the wall and the baseboard. Pry the baseboard off the wall by pulling towards you with the blade. Work your way down the board, repeating this motion every 3-6 inches. Use a pry bar to completely remove the baseboard if it still doesn't come off. Remove the doors so that you have more room to work and don’t have to worry about them swinging at you. In some cases, you may have to trim the bottom of the doors or buy new doors if your new flooring is so high that the door catches. Remember this when you reinstall the doors. Using a jamb saw, which is available at most tool libraries or rental centers, trim away the bottom of the door jamb. The door jamb is the frame of the door, or its casing. Set your jamb saw to the height of the flooring and cut away so that you can slide your new flooring snugly underneath. You can also use a regular saw if you cannot get a jamb saw. Place a piece of laminate up against the doorjamb to see the proper height. Using a saw, cut into the door jamb using the laminate to guide you.


Make sure your flyer works. Make copies. Post your flyer.

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

Before making a lot of copies of your flyer, test it out by taping it up on a door to review it yourself. Stand back from it about 10 feet (3 meters) and have a look. Do the main points jump out at you? Looking at the sample flyer here, you can see immediately that it is for a lost dog.  Proofread the entire flyer to make sure all the information is accurate and the spelling and grammar are correct. A good way to critique is to ask a friend or family member who has not seen your flyer to take a look at it, and see if they get its message right away. Now that you've completed your flyer and tested it, print as many copies as you need.  If it's too many for your printer to handle, or if you're expecting rain (the ink output of most home printers will run if left in the rain), find a local copy or office supply store and use a self-serve copier. Black-and-white copies are generally cheaper than color, but do not have the same impact as color. If you decide to go with black-and-white, you might try this: instead of printing the headline and any colored words, leave those sections blank and write them in by hand with a colored marker. Even using a highlighter works well. Where should you post it? Well, where are the people who you want to reach?  If you lost your kitty in your neighborhood, post your flyer on telephone poles, bus stops, the local convenience store, the coffee shop, laundromat, at local swimming pools, and any other nearby gathering places. If you lost your purse downtown, post flyers as near as possible to the last place where you know you had your purse. Note that in urban areas there are often restrictions on what you can post, and where––since it's easy to find you, don't flaunt the regulations! Try coffee shops, public bulletin boards, and if you see a pole that's covered with flyers—it's fair game! If you are trying to reach a college or other school audience for your club, generally there are rules and even traditional places to put postings. It is usually a combination of what works...


Make sure your form is correct. Breathe correctly. Start out easy. Add more push ups. Be consistent with your routine.

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

When performing the push up, your lower back must be straight, i.e., not sagging or arching, and your feet must be shoulder width apart. Your elbows should be tucked close to your body, i.e., at a 20 to 40 degree angle from your abdomen. As you go down, make sure your chest gets as close to the floor as possible.  Make sure to tighten your abdomen, legs, and buttocks. This will prevent your back from arching and sagging. Try not to let your hips touch the floor. They should be on the same level as your shoulders. When you are performing the push up, make sure to inhale as you go down. Then exhale as you go back up. If it is hard for you to remember to breathe, then count out loud as you do your push ups. The act of talking will force you to breathe as you do your push ups. Start out by doing as many push ups as you comfortably can. This is called a set. Then do two more sets. Make sure to rest for 60 seconds or more in between sets. Practice this three to four times a week, or every other day until you are comfortable.  For example, if you can only do seven full push ups, then start out by doing three sets of seven push ups every other day until you are comfortable. Once you can comfortably do your normal number of push ups, add three to five more push ups. Adding more push ups will challenge your muscles, enabling you to build more muscle. Make sure to stick to your routine. If you find it hard to stick to a routine, then ask a friend to join you. Alternatively, you can hire a personal trainer to keep you on track as you strive for your goal.   For example, if you have been doing push ups three days a week, then do not throw off your routine by reducing it to twice a week. Depending on the intensity of your routine, you may see results in one to two months.


Make sure your friends are OK with cursing. Ask your friends to keep a secret. Don’t get too used to cursing with your friends.

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

Some friends aren’t comfortable with bad language, and may become offended even when you’re not trying to insult them. Every parent has a different approach on growth and learning, so some people might be more welcoming of bad language, while others are put off by it. The last thing you want is to lose a friend based on the words you speak. If a friend can’t keep a secret, then it’s not worth swearing around them. Also, it’s best to curse around friends who are also trying to get away with it. Being around friends who curse freely and openly make adults think you might be cursing when they’re not around, too. An added bonus to keeping secrets is a stronger bond with your friends. "Being able to keep a confidence builds people’s confidence in you, allowing the kinds of conversations that deepen a relationship." Sometimes, you get too comfortable swearing with the people you trust. If this happens, you could end up accidentally cursing around your family. This is a quick and easy way to get yourself into trouble.


Make sure your guinea pig has its own space. Provide a quiet environment for your guinea pig. Give your guinea pig some space at first. Feed your guinea pig at the same time each day. Make sure your guinea pig is eating.

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

Your guinea pig should have an appropriate cage or hutch (available from pet stores) to spend his/her own time in. It can live inside or outside, as long as it is comfortable and safe. However, if you live in a region with cold seasons, the pig should be brought indoors during the winter. Guinea pigs are social animals and love companionship, but this works best when the guinea pigs have grown up together so it can really understand you. If you have more than one, keep them in same sex groups to avoid breeding, and make sure there is a hiding place for each so they can have solitude when they choose; otherwise they may try to fight each other to assert dominance (male-male), or reproduce (male-female). Good features to look for in a guinea pig cage include: Large size (a minimum of eight square feet of floor space)  Wooden construction with solid flooring (no wire bottoms or any other strings like hair) Separate running and sleeping areas Protection from the weather (if outdoors) Bedding: straw or hay is best, and fluffy materials should be avoided for safety reasons, as guinea pigs may eat their bedding. Earthenware or stainless steel bowls that clip to the cage or hutch (for food and water) A door that can be opened so that the guinea pig can enter the run area without being picked up (optional) Guinea pigs have sensitive hearing, so they’ll be most comfortable in a place that is free from major sources of noise (such as traffic, loud televisions, and rambunctious play). Keeping things especially quiet for the first few days that your guinea pig is home might help it adjust. You can also cover your guinea pig’s cage or hutch with a light cloth for the first few days. This may help it feel more secure and peaceful. On the first day you bring your guinea pig home, don’t bother it by trying to play or cuddle—just silently check on it now and then to make sure that it is okay. Guinea pigs have to build trust in you, as they are prey animals in nature. Giving yours some time alone at first will help it get used...

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

Lethargy and inactivity can be a sign of illness, as can the refusal to eat or drink. It's important to confirm that your guinea pig is simply bored and mildly depressed - which can be treated with increased stimulation and socialization - and not seriously ill.  Lethargy for example often accompanies misaligned teeth, infection, and obesity, all of which are dangerous for guinea pigs.  Assess whether your guinea pig is suffering from other signs of illness, such as drooling, loose stools, puffed-up coat, and frequent coughing or sneezing. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should consult a veterinarian who has experience with guinea pigs. If you don't notice these other signs, then consider the following steps to make life happier and more exciting for your guinea pig. The Humane Society of the United States has noted that most commercial cages available for guinea pigs are too small. Guinea pigs are animals that love to move around. The happiest guinea pigs have ample space in their cages to run, exercise, and play. Guinea pigs need a minimum of eight square feet of floor space in their cages, but more space is even better. If you have one guinea pig, aim for a cage about 30" x 36"; if you have two guinea pigs, try to get a cage that is 30" x 50".  As a general tip, there should always be room in any cage for exercise space, a food bowl, a tunnel or box for your guinea pig to hide in or under, and a place for your guinea pig to go to the bathroom. Guinea pigs like to be near other beings, so consider putting the cage in a living room or family room where your guinea pig can be part of the family and can be seen and heard. Do keep in mind, however, that guinea pigs have sensitive ears and that they do not like loud noises. Keep the cage away from stereos, televisions and anything else that emits loud sounds. Also, place the cage in an area that is neither too warm nor too cool. Guinea pigs don't like extreme temperatures; moreover, extreme cold or heat can cause the animals to become ill. Aim for an...


Make sure your hair is dry. Section off your hair once more. Put on gloves. Prepare your color. Brush in your color. Let the color set. Wash out the hair color. Dry and style your hair as usual.

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

Use a towel to dry it off before beginning the coloring process. You may even want to wait for an hour or two to allow your hair to get mostly dry. Divide your hair into its original sections. Tie off the ends with elastic bands or hair clips to make your dying job a bit easier. Use at least 2-3 sections, or as many more as you need to feel comfortable. Again, use non-metallic clips to avoid reactions with the dying chemicals. Gloves generally come with a dye kit but if they don’t, you can simply use normal rubber, vinyl, or latex gloves. Remember that it is very important to wear gloves when dyeing or bleaching your hair. If you do not, you will end up dyeing or bleaching your hands as well. Most box hair dyes require a bit of measuring and mixing, so follow the instructions and prepare your dye. Make sure that you mix your dye in a well ventilated area. Follow the application instructions that came with your hair dye to properly add it to your hair.  If you’re dying your hair with a traditional ombre (lighter ends), then apply the hair dye to all the bleached sections of hair and just a bit further up your strands as well. If you’re doing a reverse ombre, add the color just up to the color fade line, and then a second heavier coat near the tips (similar to the bleach application). Make sure that you coat all of the hair that you want to dye. Inspect your strands to check for any spots you may have missed. As with bleach, even saturation with dye is very important. Follow the box instructions to be determine how long you should leave the dye in your hair. Wait the recommended amount of time for your hair dye to set. Since your hair has been bleached, you probably won’t need to leave the dye in for more than ten minutes. Keeping your gloves on, rinse out the dye with warm water. Then, wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo. Bleaching/coloring your hair can be very damaging, so take the time to use a deep conditioner to help add some moisture back into your locks. With your hair being a tad fried from the...


Make sure your hands are clean. Cup your hand to the opposite arm's armpit. Make a tight seal. Bend your arm. Practice.

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

They should be dry as well, with no hand cream or moisturizer. Use your dominant hand. Your fingers should be between your arm and chest, and your thumb should be on the outside, pointing up. If you want to do this with a shirt on, the easiest way is with a button down shirt. Just undo one of the buttons a few down from the collar, so that your can stick your hand through the opening in the shirt. Press your hand firmly into your armpit. There should be as tight of a seal as possible between your hand and your armpit. Rotate your shoulder downward, the shoulder of the armpit your hand is in. Do this quickly, while maintaining the tight seal by pressing upward with your hand. You don't have to move your arm much for this to work. It should be a small movement, starting with your upper arm near your side and your forearm across your chest. You probably won't be able to consistently make a realistic farting noise with this technique at first. With practice you'll find the perfect speed and positioning.


Make sure your house is ready. Have supplies ready. Talk about house rules. Set up the crate.

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

Puppies can and will get into everything. Therefore, you need to make sure your home is ready before you bring your dog home. That way, you protect both your new puppy and your home.  For instance, you can start by sectioning off where the dog will be at first, using baby gates. You may not want a puppy in carpeted areas, for instance, as you'll need to potty train it. Move any dangerous items out of the area. Take out any chemicals the puppy could get into or put them up high. Take out plants, rugs, and anything else the puppy could destroy or be harmed by. Tape up any electrical so your pup can't chew on them. Before you go and pick up your dog, you need to make sure that you have everything you need for a dog. You'll need a food bowl, a water bowl, a leash, toys, and a crate, if you plan to crate-train your dog. A dog bed or a blanket dedicated to your dog is also a good idea. That is, establish who is going to feed him and when. In addition, decide who will walk it and clean up after it. Also, make sure you establish what rooms the puppy is allowed in. It's also important to determine which commands you're going to use. You don't want one person saying "Sit!" and another person saying "Butt Down!" for the same action because that's just confusing for the dog. Print out a list of commands to put on the refrigerator so everyone remembers. Crates give dogs a place to call their own. Plus, having a crate can help you train your puppy. If you decide to get a crate, have it set up before your puppy comes home. Pick a crate that's large enough for your dog to grow up in. When your dog is full-grown, it should be able to stand up, stretch out, and sit in the crate.

Make sure your job won't be in jeopardy. Nap if you have a busy afternoon ahead. Avoid naps if they won't help.

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

The biggest question to ask yourself before trying to sleep at work is, "Would I get fired if my boss caught me?" If the answer is a clear yes, you may be better off avoiding the daytime nap altogether.  Some companies may have specific policies that prohibit sleeping on the job. Others may have a general policy about productivity. If you're unsure about what you can and can't do, try talking to someone in human resources before you attempt to sleep at work. If you're allowed to nap or can otherwise get away with it (by napping on your own time, for example), then you may be able to proceed with caution. Naps won't benefit everyone, but if you have a busy and demanding afternoon ahead, a quick nap might help you be more productive and efficient for the rest of the day.  If you have a big project that requires your undivided attention, you may benefit from a nap. If you'll be operating heavy machinery or needing to drive home after work and you're struggling to stay awake, a nap could help. Not everyone will feel better or more productive after a nap. Some people just get groggy no matter how short the nap is, while others may be getting enough sleep each night and simply won't need a nap.  If you generally feel well-rested, a nap will probably not help you at work. If you often have a hard time falling asleep at night, napping during the day may make it worse. Avoid napping and instead focus on getting a good night's rest every evening. If you can't or shouldn't nap at work, try drinking a caffeinated beverage (like coffee or tea) instead. It'll give you an energy boost and keep you wakeful through the workday.


Make sure your lighter has fluid and a flint. Hold the lighter properly.

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

In order for the wick to light on your Zippo, you have to ensure that it is full of fluid and that there is flint in place, otherwise you’ll flick the wheel without any result.  Buy a can of Zippo lighter fluid. Make sure its liquid and not an aerosol. Remove the lighter and cotton by holding the lighter casing and pulling out by the chimney. On the bottom is a piece of felt that you will lift up to pour the fluid into. Once you see the top of the cotton is damp, stop filling. Let the cotton soak for a minute, then replace the chimney back in its casing. Your Zippo should be closed and you should be holding it so that the hinge is facing your index finger. Everyone will hold a Zippo a little differently based on the size of your hand, but position it so you can easily open the lid with your thumb.  It’s best to hold the Zippo toward the top of your hand and not in your palm. Try holding your lighter in your forefinger and middle finger while you curl your ring finger slightly, resting the bottom of the Zippo on your ring finger.


Make sure your listing remains accurate. Read and respond to reviews. Use Google's business insights. Update your profile with special events. Add new photos.

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

Regularly check over your information to make sure that it is up to date and accurate. Update your listing for news products/services, changes in your hours, and any other important information that may change over time. In addition, Google may draw information from third parties, like review websites, to add to your listing. Make sure this information is correct and delete or edit it if it is not.

In addition, you can respond to these reviews as a verified business owner. In your responses, you can either work out a way to help a dissatisfied customer or thank a happy one for their business. Google also provides business owners with analytics that can help them identify their customers. The system tracks clicks on your profile for more information, to start navigation, and to call your business. You can view this information either as monthly percent changes or as a trend graph over time. You can then use this information to, for example, figure out whether or not your advertising campaign is working. Add information like holiday hours, special promotions, and new locations or business developments to keep customers in the loop. Any information you can add will help you reach a larger audience. Make sure you update photos of your business regularly, providing both internal and external shots. In addition, you can make sure that your street view imagine is of the right business (sometimes the picture is slightly off). You can even add a virtual tour of your business to let customers know exactly what to expect. Studies have shown that customers are drawn to high-quality images and videos on a listing. Adding videos will also help you earn more business.


Make sure your local government and HOA allow concrete supports. Purchase a new weather-resistant post. Dig a hole for the new post that complies with USPS guidelines. Add 6 inches (15 cm) of gravel to the hole. Mix the concrete Set the post in the hole and ensure it’s level. Add concrete to within 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of ground level. Allow the concrete to set as directed. Cover the concrete with dirt or gravel after it has set. Attach the mailbox and mounting bracket.

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

Some cities and homeowners associations prohibit the use of concrete to support mailbox posts. Before starting your project, check your city government's website or call a local buildings inspector. If applicable, check with your HOA, too. Find a pressure-treated wood, PVC, or hollow metal mailbox post online or at a home improvement store. Simple posts are just 5 to 7 foot (1.5 to 2.1 m) lengths of 4x4 wood or PVC.  If you go with a more elaborate, decorative option, you’ll need to attach the base to a standard 4x4, then mount the 4x4 in the ground. Keep in mind the 4x4 is usually sold separately. Avoid posts made of unyielding materials, such as concrete or solid metal, which could be illegal in your jurisdiction. The hole should be around 1 foot (30 cm) in diameter so you’ll have room to add the concrete after placing the post in the hole. Measure the post to find how deep you should dig in order to comply with USPS guidelines.  The USPS advises burying a mailbox post up to 2 feet (61 cm) deep. The bottom of the mailbox’s opening must sit 41 to 45 inches (100 to 110 cm) above ground level. Additionally, the opening should be 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) from the curb.  Check with your national mail service's guidelines if you live outside of the US. Add the layer of gravel after digging the hole to the correct depth. Adding gravel or small stones before pouring concrete will help water drain properly. according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Purchase a concrete mix at your local hardware store. Pour it into a wheelbarrow or concrete tray, add water as directed, then mix it until it’s about as thick as peanut butter. The precise ratios vary by manufacturer, so use the amount of water listed in the instructions. Purchase 2 50 pound (23 kg) bags of concrete mix to fill a 10 inch (25 cm) diameter hole that’s 2 feet (61 cm) deep. Insert the post into the hole, and use a bubble level to make sure it’s plumb. Check for levelness periodically as you fill the hole with concrete, and make minor adjustments as...


Make sure your manuscript is ready for publication. Find the right publishing route for you. Assemble your collection. Send in the materials.

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

A lot of famous poets, such as Walt Whitman, initially published themselves. This can be a great outlet for you if you're unsure you want to go a traditional publishing route. However, you do not want to waste time and money on self publishing if your work is not ready. Read over your poetry collection and try to be honest with yourself. Is this work ready for publication? Would you be happy putting this work out into the world?  Seek input from others. Have trusted friends, or any colleagues you have from college or an MFA program, read through your collection. Ask them if they think it's polished and professional, and whether they would pay for a book like this. If you get lukewarm feedback, you may want to reconsider self publishing. Try to work on your poetry for a few more months before publishing your book. It may also be worth your time to hire a proofreader. Self-published books do not go through as strict an editorial process, and many writers find it difficult to catch their own errors. Careful proofreading is important, as a work with grammatical errors can reflect poorly on you as a writer. If you think your work is ready, you'll need to find an outlet through which to self publish. There are a variety of publishers that allow writers to self publish their own works for a small fee. Assess what your budget is, and explore a variety of options.  Self-publishing services will print however many copies of your book that you want, for a fee. Print-on-demand services will take a PDF copy of your manuscript, for a fee, and print copies of your book when a potential reader places an order.
