Use a nasal steroid spray. Use decongestants. Take antihistamines. Get pain relief. Consult your physician.

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

Intranasal steroids, such as fluticasone (Flonase) or triamcinolone  (Nasacort), which are now available over-the-counter. These work by reducing inflammation in the nose. These sprays can be particularly helpful for sinus headaches that are triggered by allergies. Nasal steroid spray has the benefit of having no major side effects like those caused by many oral decongestants and antihistamines, such as drowsiness and dry mouth. Note, however, that it takes a few days for the steroid to build up to its full effect; this means that you will not experience immediate relief.  If you're using Flonase, the typical dosage is one spray per nostril twice daily. If you are using Nasacort, the typical dosage is two sprays per nostril once daily. There are also other nasal steroids available with a prescription, such as mometasone Furoate (Nasonex). Potential side effects include indigestion, nausea, headaches, and a bad taste or smell while using the spray. New guidelines suggest that intranasal steroids should be the first line of treatment for sinus congestion. Using an over-the-counter decongestant or medication can help relieve pressure in your sinuses by unblocking the nasal passages and helping them to drain. You can get them in the form of nasal sprays or as oral medication and they can be purchased at most pharmacies. Consult your doctor to ensure that the decongestant will not affect any health conditions you may have, such as high blood pressure, or have any negative interactions with any medications you may be taking.  In addition, use a salt water nasal spray to help relieve congestion. Use it no more than six times daily. Nasal sprays other than the salt water variety may increase congestion or inflammation. Follow the dosage and usage directions that come with the nasal spray. Nasal decongestant sprays should not be used for more than three days at a time. Longer term use has been linked to "rebound" swelling of the nasal passages. Oral decongestants, such as Sudafed or Bronkaid pills, however, can be...


Use a needle opener to keep from exposing wine to air in the first place. Try other preservation gadgets, such as vacuum seals and inflatable corks.

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

These openers use a needle to withdraw wine from the bottle through the cork. It pumps argon gas into the bottle to make up for the wine it takes out. When you pull the needle out, the cork re-seals the hole. This will keep wine fresh much longer, but you should still drink it within a few weeks to a month. With this device, it's not as important to put leftover wine in the refrigerator. These devices help limit the wine's exposure to air, and they may keep the wine drinkable for up to 3-5 days. To use a vacuum sealer, simply place the gadget in the top of the bottle and use the hand pump to create the seal.  Similarly, with a hand cork, place it in the bottle and use the provided hand pump to blow it up and create a seal. Place the wine in the refrigerator.


Use a needle to recreate a vent hole if your model has an air pocket. Read the directions on the package to locate the baking temperature. Bake the clay immediately after painting or glazing. Bake the clay for the amount of time specified on the package. Fill a large bowl with ice and water while the clay is baking. Remove the clay from the oven and dunk it into the water immediately.

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

For models that have a closed-off pocket of air, include a vent hole to prevent cracking due to temperature changes in the oven. Pierce the clay with a needle all the way through until you reach the inner air pocket.  If you don’t have an air pocket in your model, don’t worry about creating vent holes! Be sure to pierce at least 1 hole for each air pocket to ensure proper venting. For example, many clay models of animals have an air pocket inside to make them lighter. Additionally, jewelry like earrings and pendants can have air pockets, especially if they’re very intricate pieces. Most brands have the amount of temperature labeled on the package, which can range from 212.5 to 300 °F (100.3 to 148.9 °C). Check the packaging to see if the baking temperature changes based on the thickness of the clay, and set the temperature on the oven. If you’re using multiple different brands of clay in one model, go with the directions for the brand that you used the most. If you’re not sure, set the temperature to 265 °F (129 °C). One of the great things about painting polymer clay is that you don’t need to let the paint dry before baking the clay. As soon as you’re finished covering the model in 1-2 coats of paint, fire up the oven to prepare for baking. Adding a glaze or paint might add to the baking time of your model. In general, for each coat or paint or glaze, add 3-5 minutes onto the baking time. Most brands of clay have a bake time somewhere between 10-30 minutes, depending on the thickness and color of the clay. As a general rule, bake for the amount of time specified on the package for each 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) of thickness.  For example, if the package says to bake for 15 minutes, and your clay is 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) thick, then you would bake the clay for 30 minutes. If you’ve lost the packaging, it’s generally safer to bake at a lower temperature for a longer period of time, like 30-40 minutes. Get a large cooking pot or bucket that will fit your clay model. Then, fill it with ice water, with about 2 inches (5.1 cm)...


Use a non-acetone based nail polish remover. Apply nail polish remover to a cotton ball. Replace the cotton balls as needed.

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

Since acetone may remove your acrylics, it is important to use a non-acetone nail polish remover. Many brands, such as Cutex, make non-acetone nail polish removers. Check the bottle to ensure that you are getting the right kind. Add enough so that the ball is moist, but not dripping. If you prefer, you can also use surgical gauze pads, which leave less fuzz on your nails as you take off the nail polish. You can also use Q-tips for smaller areas on your nails. You will probably need to use at least three cotton balls to take the nail polish off of your nails. However, you might need more, depending on the amount of nail polish on your fingernails. You should get a new cotton ball if the cotton gets caked with your old polish, starts to dry, or if it drags on the surface of your acrylic.


Use a nonabrasive cleaner. Apply cleaner with a nonabrasive applicator. Scrub gently. Rinse with water and dry.

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

If you have a fiberglass shower or tub, it is important that you only use nonabrasive cleaners, as abrasive cleaners can scratch the surface. Try using a dish washing liquid, liquid laundry detergent, all-purpose cleaner, or a soft scrub product. Avoid abrasive cleaners like scouring powder or ammonia. You should only use cleaning tools that are not abrasive. Opt for a sponge, brush, or cloth that is made from polyethylene, polyester, or nylon. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools like steel wool or scrapers. You do not want to scratch or dull the surface of the fiberglass. Apply the nonabrasive cleaner with a fiberglass friendly sponge, brush, or cloth and gently rub the surface. Keep in mind that some grime may need to be treated with a stronger cleaner in order to remove it. Once you finish cleaning the shower floor, rinse the surface with water. Finally, use a soft cloth to dry the entire surface of the shower floor.


Use a novelty voice changer. Find an app on your smart phone. Speak through computer software.

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

Voice changing devices can be difficult to locate in stores, but you can easily find a novelty device for purchase online.  A standard novelty voice changer ranges in price from $25 to $50. Each device works differently, so you should check out the specifications to know what you are getting. Most grant you the ability to change the pitch of your voice in different ways, and many novelty devices are portable. Some devices require you to pre-record your message, but others can be used to adjust your voice as you speak, transmitting the altered through a cell phone or other speaker. Carefully read the instructions that come with your novelty voice changer to learn how to use it properly. Downloadable voice changer apps allow you to record your voice into your cellphone and play the words back using a filter that alters the sound of your voice. There are many different apps available. Some cost money, but others are free. Check for apps through the Apple App Store iPhone, Windows Marketplace if you have a Windows phone, or Google Play if you have an Android. Search for downloadable text-to-speech freeware or software online. Once installed, type your words into the software text box and press the "Play" option to play your written words back using audio.


Use a nylon scrubber to remove caked-on bits. Clean and rejuvenate your steamer with a black tea bag. Rub the bamboo steamer with a lemon. Use the dishwasher with caution.

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

If your bamboo steamer is still not clean even after receiving a black tea rubdown and a rinse with soapy water, use a nylon scrubber to gently scrub the areas of the steamer that are unclean. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive kitchen aids to clean your bamboo steamer. The tannic acid in black tea will clean and rejuvenate your bamboo steamer.  After soaking a black tea bag, gently run it along the surface of your bamboo steamer.  Don’t use too much force or the fragile tea bag will tear, spilling the saturated tea leaves within. If you steamed fish in your bamboo steamer, you can easily remove the fishy stench by rubbing a lemon across its surface.  Cut a lemon into four equally sized wedges.  Rub one wedge across the surface of the bamboo steamer. Some bamboo steamers are too fragile to withstand the high pressures of the dishwasher. Other bamboo steamers, however, might benefit from a heavy-duty cleaning in the dishwasher. Consult your bamboo steamer’s user guide for more information regarding whether or not placing the steamer in the dishwasher is a possibility, and whether you need to use a certain kind of detergent – or no detergent at all.


Use a paint roller if covering large, flat areas. Apply the primer and paint with a medium-sized brush to cover small or intricate surfaces. Wait about 30-60 minutes for the primer to dry. Let each coat of paint dry for around 30-60 minutes.

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

When applying paint to wooden surfaces and items, the easiest method is using a small or medium-sized paint roller. This works well because you can apply the paint quickly and thoroughly without overworking the paint. To use the paint roller, dip the roller into the paint and move your hand back and forth to saturate the roller. If you are painting over a dresser with fine corners or the edge of a table, for instance, it may be easier to apply the paint with a smaller brush. Use a 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) brush instead of or in addition to a paint roller. Before you add more paint to the surface, ensure the primer is completely dry. Drying time may vary based on your particular type or brand of primer. Touch the surface of the object with your fingertip to make sure it isn't tacky before moving on. Apply a second coat of primer after the first dries if you are covering very dark stain or varnish. On average, it takes about 1 hour for a coat of water-based paint to dry. It may dry faster, based on your surface, application, and paint type. If you don’t wait for the paint to dry, it may dry unevenly and look odd.


Use a pair of US size 1 (2.25 mm) 9 in (23 cm) cable needles to cast on 64 stitches. Work in the rib stitch for 4.5 in (11 cm) to create the cuff. Knit for 6 in (15 cm). Shape the heel of the sock by working short rows. Pick up stitches to complete the round. Work decreases to shape the foot portion of the sock. Knit until the foot portion of the sock is the desired length and bind off. Sew up the end of the sock.

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

Make a slipknot and place it onto the right-hand needle for your first cast on stitch. Loop your working yarn over your left-hand needle. Then, insert your right-hand needle into the loop. Yarn over again and pull the yarn through the loop.  Repeat until you have 64 total stitches. This is the ideal number of stitches for a medium-sized pair of socks for an adult, but you can cast on 8 more for larger socks or 8 less for smaller socks.  Opt for a fingering or sock weight yarn to make socks on US size 1 (2.25 mm) circular needles. The rib stitch will make the top of the sock a bit stretchy. Alternate between knitting 1 and purling 1 for the whole round to work in the rib stitch. Repeat this for each round until the cuff measures 4.5 in (11 cm). After you finish knitting the cuff, begin working the leg and ankle portion of the sock. Knit all of the rounds until the body of the sock measures 6 in (15 cm). You may use a different stitch if desired, but the knit stitch is the easiest option. Work back and forth across a small portion of the sock to shape the heel. Follow this sequence for working the heel of your sock:  Place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round. Knit the next 3 stitches. Purl the next 29 stitches.  Place another stitch marker after the 29th purl stitch. Repeat the knit 3 and purl 29 row a total of 28 times. After you have finished working across the heel rows, use the end of your needle to pick up the stitches along the sides of the heel. Insert your right-hand needle into the first stitch on the edge of the heel portion of your socks. Then, loop the yarn over the end of the needle and pull this loop through the stitch. Continue to do this until you have picked up all of the stitches on 1 side of the heel. Then, knit until you get to the other side of the heel and pick up these stitches in the same way. Knit 2 and then knit 2 together until you are back to the original number of stitches in the round. To knit 2 together, insert your right-hand needle into the first 2 stitches in the...


Use a paper or digital calendar to keep track of your blocks. Color-code your calendar. Be open about your schedule with coworkers and family. Commit to the routine for at least a month. Avoid distractions when working. Track your productivity to see if time blocking works for you.

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

Especially when you first start out, it may be hard to keep track of your different blocks. Use a calendar app on your smartphone with timers and reminders. You can also buy a large desk calendar and label the days, months, and year with your blocks. Both paper and digital options give you the ability to color-code, and you should take advantage. Label different time blocks in set colors. You can even match this to priority level. Red can be high-priority tasks, yellow moderate, and green low. For paper, use different colored markers or highlighters. For digital, check the settings on the app or software you're using and follow the instructions to color-code. In order for your schedule to work, other people in your life need to learn to respect it. Consider sending an email to your coworkers about your time blocks so they know what to expect from your workday. You can also tell your family about your plans, and ask them to help you stick to it. Don't expect everyone to mold their schedules to yours. Before you finalize your blocks, make sure your time blocking doesn't cause scheduling problems for someone you work or live with. Like any routine, you need to commit to time blocking to make it effective. It'll probably feel overly rigid at first, but give it at least thirty workdays. By the end of the month, you'll be able to tell whether it's helped you become more productive. When you're in the middle of your time blocks, it's important to only focus on the task that's in front of you. Put your phone on silent, minimize background noise, and turn off notifications for your social media and email. Time blocking may not be for everyone. Make sure it works for you by seeing if you become more productive once you organize your schedule this way. To track your productivity, note how long tasks usually take you at the beginning and the end of the first month after you put the new schedule in place.


Use a pen or brush for different purposes. Find a suitable ink. Choose a paper that will hold up to inking. Mix and match your materials.

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

Select an inking tool that will let you trace, fill, shade and employ other techniques as you please. Most artists prefer pens for conventional line work, as it goes on bold and straight. An inking brush might also be used, especially for filling large areas and when you want to taper the width of a line mid-stroke. You should pick the pen or brush that will let you achieve the effect you’re trying to create.  Test out different pen nibs so that you’ll have a several available to you when you need them. The nib is the interchangeable tip of the pen that comes into contact with the paper and deploys ink.  Pens can work as all-purpose inking tools, but a brush can save you time when it comes to shading tasks. It’s usually best to experiment with several kinds of ink to find one that you can work well with. If you’re using a traditional fountain pen for inking, you’ll be able to dip it in an ink of your choice. Inks come in different shades and thickness, and some are better suited for certain drawing tasks than others. For some projects, you might even use more than one type of ink on the same drawing.  India ink is a reliable standard choice for artists, as it is dark, waterproof and permanent. If you’re using prepackaged or commercial grade pens that contain their own ink, switch them out when you need to change how thick or dark your lines are. Before you start inking, examine and feel the paper you’re using. Is it thick or thin? Smooth or rough? Ink will settle into different papers in a unique way. Get in the habit of thinking about paper and ink together. Make sure you’re not using a rough, soft paper with a thin ink, for example, or the ink may bleed.  Browse your local arts supply store for high-quality papers that are designed specifically for inking. You should also be sure to draw on a flat, solid surface and work at an angle that’s most comfortable for you Don’t forget that you have the option of playing around with all sorts of pens, brushes, papers, and ink. Some artists prefer a simpler process,...


Use a pen. Use your shoes. Write notes on your clothes. Write on your body. Write on the desk. Use tape.

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

Get a pen that can be unscrewed and stuffed with notes. A good pen for this would be one that you can unscrew for removing and replacing ink cartridges. Empty the pen and write small notes that you then roll up tightly and fit inside the pen.  You could use a mechanical pencil. You can also buy barrel pens. These are pens with a small window that click to rotate messages. You could also purchase a special pen that has a roll of paper included in its side that you just roll out and roll back in. You might want to pull out the notes while taking a bathroom break. There's less of a chance of getting caught this way! Get rid of notes. Once you're finished with the notes, throw them away, preferably somewhere not close to the classroom where the test was. If you do throw them away in the classroom, shred the paper to cover your tracks. Tape notes to the bottom of your shoes. During the test, rest on your outer foot and turn your head down at angle so you can see the notes. Try not to look to obvious doing this; make it look like you are just stretching your neck. You could put cheat sheets or notes into your shoes and take them out as needed. Keep in mind, though, that notes are hard to remove from your shoes during a test without attracting attention. This method might work if you take a bathroom break, however. Write formulas and other material that wil help you on the inside of your sleeve (on the underside of your wrist). Then, wear a sweater over top of that shirt. This will help not make it too obvious when you pull back the first sleeve to see the notes written on the inside of the second. You could also tape pieces of paper into a hood or hat liner. Using an ink that is close to your skin tone, write notes onto ankles, legs, arms and hands - basically anywhere that is visible to you but not too visible to the outside eye. You could also try wearing shorts or a skirt and writing the formulas just above the line that your shorts cover. Lift them slightly if you get stuck, and then cover them back....


Use a pen. Write legibly. Deposit checks or cash. Receive cash back.

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

It is smart to use an ink pen rather than a pencil when filling out a deposit slip. That way, no one will be able to alter the information you have recorded. The teller will also be able to more easily read numbers written in a dark ink. Don't worry if you make an error. Just rip that one up and start over on a new slip. There are some different things you will need to write on the deposit slip. You want to make sure that the bank employees are able to read everything easily. This will prevent errors in recording your deposit. Use your best handwriting. Write the correct date on the deposit slip. You want a clear record of when you made this deposit. On the deposit slip, there are spaces for you to list the amounts that you are depositing. There will be a line for the total amount of cash that you want to place in your account. There are multiple lines for you to record the checks that you are depositing. Make sure to list each check individually. There are multiple lines for you to record them. If you run out of space, there are more lines on the back of the deposit slip. You can choose to deposit the entire amount into your checking or savings account. You also have the option to receive part of the total amount back in the form of cash. If you would like to receive cash back, you will need to sign the deposit slip. The place for your signature is clearly labeled. It will say "Sign here to receive cash back", or similar.


Use a pencil grip. Try new pencils or pens. Cover the callus area with gel caps or callus pads.

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

Pencil grips are often used to help young children develop good writing habits, but they can also cushion your grip. Look for soft, foam or rubber grips. Try shopping for grips at a school or office supply store, where you’ll be able to try them out. Also, if you use mechanical pencils or ballpoint pens, consider switching to a brand with a built-in soft grip. If you find that you press the pencil too hard into the paper, look for a writing utensil that creates smoother lines. With a smoother writing utensil, you won’t have to apply as much pressure to make dark, legible lines. Less friction may help reduce the size of your callus.  Try out different pencils. While most pencils come with standard #2 lead, some write smooth lines better than others. Shop around and try out different brands of wood-case pencils or mechanical pencils to see which leads you prefer. If none improve the pressure you need to apply, consider buying artist pencils with even softer lead than a #2: just remember you won’t be able to use them on standardized tests.  Switch from pencils to pens. The choice between pencils and pens comes down to preference and the requirements of your school or office. However, pens often write with smoother, more legible lines, so you’ll be able to lighten up your grip. Buy gel pens. While brightly colored gel pens may be frowned upon at school, black or navy blue gel pens may help heal your callus. Gel pens come in a variety of types, and many art stores will let you test out pens before you buy. Try some out and pick one that improves your grip the most. You can buy small callus pads or caps at most pharmacies and drug stores. Use these to cover the areas on your fingers that hold your pen. They should help prevent the pressure from making the callus worse.


Use a pencil liner for easy natural or smudged looks. Liquid liner creates smooth, swooping lines and a precise look. Try gel liner if you want to draw dramatic lines.

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

Pencils are easy to apply because you use them as you would any other pencil. You can lightly apply the pencil for a subtle, natural look, or you can smudge your pencil to create smoky or dramatic eyes. It also won't run into your eyes like liquid liners can. When using a pencil liner, you will need to occasionally sharpen or dull your pencil. You can find liquid liner in either a marker pen or in a vial with a brush. To use it, you simply draw on your lines and fill in any gaps with a second application of liner. You can create a wide range of lines from liquid liner, from thin, natural lines to dramatic looks.  Liquid liner marker pens are very easy to use. If you use a vial and brush, it may take some practice to learn how to use the liquid liner. Gel liner comes in a pot along with a small brush. Its thicker formula looks great for dramatic looks like cat eyes and wings. The brush makes it easy to use.  You can use other brushes with your liner. You may find that an angled brush works best for applying the liner. Be sure to clean the brush often to help prevent eye infections.


Use a person's name. Use honorifics with the person's name. Use the individual title and functional title, as needed. Add the division or department. Place the company name next. Write the street address. Add the city, state, and zip code.

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

No matter where the letter is going, it's best to address it to a person, if possible. Figure out who would be the most appropriate person for the letter to find. If you can't find a person's name, consider using a department, such as the HR department.  Do your research to find out who you should send it to. For example, if you are sending in a resume, look around online to figure out the appropriate person. If you can't find a person, it's acceptable to call the company and ask who the letter should be addressed to. Honorifics are things like "Mr." and "Mrs." that go before a person's name. However, always pick a professional designation or title over MR, MS, MISS, or MRS. For example, if you're writing someone with a doctorate, you'd use "DR" before their name. On the next line, place the individual or professional title of the person, such as "CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT." On the next line, use the person's title within the company, such as "HEAD ACCOUNTANT." If you can only find one, use that one. If the letter needs to go to a specific department once it reaches the business, you need to include that department in your address. It should have its own line underneath the person's titles, such as "ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT." The name of the company or main recipient goes next, if applicable. Like the other elements, it receives its own line, below the division or department the letter is being mailed to. Make sure to get the name of the company completely correct, such as "ARIEL'S ACCOUNTING FIRM." Now, you're down to the street address, the place the business is actually located. The street number goes first, followed by a directional abbreviation (if applicable), such as "NW" or "S." Next, place the street name, as well as any suffixes to the street name, such as "ST." You may also need to at a suite number, such as STE 118. Next, write the city and state. You don't need a comma between the two, and make sure to use the state code abbreviation. After that, use the 5-digit zip code, as well as the 4-digit...


Use a pet name. Use a childhood nickname. Create a secret nickname. Combine your names.

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

Pet names are a way to show your affection. Popular pet names for women include: gorgeous, beautiful, honey, angel, and princess. The top pet names for men include: babe, baby, honey, bear, and boo. While nicknames from your childhood can be embarrassing, especially ones your parents gave you, they can be cute and endearing if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Ask your significant other’s parents if they had a nickname when they were little. Use it the next time you see your boyfriend or girlfriend and see how they react. Create a nickname that you and your significant other use when you’re alone. You can use a standard nickname such as “Boo”, “Honey”, or “Babe”, or come up with your own. Create a name based on what do you find most attractive in your significant other. For example, if your boyfriend is a good kisser, call him “Sweet Lips”, or if your girlfriend is pretty and kind, call her “Angel”. Many celebrity couples are known to their fans by their nicknames, such as “Brangelina” (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt), “Kimye” (Kim Kardashian and Kanye West), or the original “Bennifer” (Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck). Experiment writing down different combinations of your first and last names. Start using it when you are around friends so it sticks.


Use a picture rail if you have one. Lay down a drop cloth. Gather your supplies.

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

Some older plaster walls have a thin strip of wood that runs around the perimeter of a room, usually between 1 inch (2.5 cm) to 1 foot (30 cm) below the edge of the ceiling. If your room has this, you can simply drive a screw through the wood, and use this to hang things.  For instance, drive a screw into the strip on the spot just above where you want to hang a picture. Attach one end of a wire to the screw, and the other end to the hook on the back of the picture. You can raise or lower the wire to get the picture to the correct height. Set a drop cloth or an old sheet on the floor directly below where you want to hang something on the wall. Drilling holes into plaster can create dust and crumbs. Setting down the cloth will make clean-up a breeze. You won't need anything unusual or complex, and everything can be found at a hardware store if you don't already have it. You'll need a:  Box of screws that are 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) long, or 2 inches (5.1 cm) long for hanging heavy objects Roll of painter's tape Pencil Drill and a set of drill bits Measuring tape Carpenter's level Magnetic stud finder (optional) Roll of wire for hanging the object (optional)


Use a pink coral bracelet. Try a red string. Have the baby wear a jet amulet. Use the spit method. Scatter salt. Try an eye charm.

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

Some suggest that putting a pink coral bracelet on your child will help protect against the evil eye. Others suggest having the child wear a buckeye has the same effect. In Jewish cultures, parents use a red string to fend off the evil eye. For instance, sometimes it's tied around a crib bar or the stroller handle. In some Hispanic cultures, babies wear an amulet made of black jet. Often, it's shaped as a small fist. You may see it with red and black beads on a gold chain. When someone gives your child a compliment, you can try spitting over your left shoulder three times and then touching wood (or knocking your own head) three times. This method is most often used in Russia. One Sicilian method of protection is to scatter salt on the floor inside the front door or outside the house. The salt (with innumerable grains) is supposed to confuse evil-casters. Another method Sicilians use is the urine method, where everyone in the house pees in a bucket. Then the urine is spilled in front of the house. Many cultures use eye charms to protect against evil eye. You can wear one on a necklace, for instance, or use one as a key chains. In Turkey, these little charms are made out of blue glass, but other cultures make them out of other materials.


Use a planner. Make daily to-do lists. Use a calendar. Don't procrastinate

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

Teens often have to juggle just as many responsibilities as adults. A full school day, an afterschool club, practice for a sport, and homework can add up to a 12–14 hour day, at the very least. A planner will help you keep your schedule organized.  Before the start of each week, write down everything that you plan on or need to do. Get to know yourself and how long it takes you to complete various tasks, and set your weekly plan accordingly. Be realistic about what you can actually accomplish in one day to avoid over-scheduling. Putting everything on paper will help you order your time, so you can be where you need to be on time, and complete high-priority tasks before less important ones. Every night, write your next day’s to-dos. Use a notebook or an app on your phone or computer if you prefer. Try to complete the all of the items on the list the next day. This will help you put your task in order of importance, and help you develop a sense of commitment. Following through with what you intend to get done will get you far in life!  Note any specific chores you might have to do at home, in addition to things you have to get done at school. Write down a handy reminder if you need to ask a friend or teacher something List your class and activities schedule so you can plan on how much time you need to get from one place or another. Just as you set weekly and daily goals, use a calendar to help you with longer-term planning. Write important dates on it like tests, sports events, recitals, birthdays, etc. Set long term personal goals in addition to things you’re required to do:  Think of one to five things you’d like to accomplish each school term, like learning a new hobby or, if you're old enough, learning how to drive or applying to college. Break down each goal into smaller, regular milestones or steps. Be realistic about your personal goals: don’t set yourself up for failure by saying you’ll do something that’s out of your reach.

Use a plastic scraper to remove head gasket material. Place the cylinder head in the tub. Use parts cleaner and a rag to begin scrubbing the head. Fill the second tub with warm water. Submerge the cylinder head in the water. Remove the head and use a rag to wipe it down. Use a spray washer to clean the head. Have the cylinder head “hot tanked.

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

There is a good chance that there will still be some head gasket material remaining on your cylinder head.  The head gasket creates a seal between the head and engine block (also sometimes referred to as the “top” end and “bottom” ends).  Scrape off any remnants of the gasket using a plastic scraper.  Be extremely careful not to scratch or damage the “mating surface” of the cylinder head where the gasket material can be found.  Any scratch or damage can cause leaks that will lead to gasket failure once the engine is assembled again.  Do not use a metal scraper or any tools that could feasibly damage the mating surface of the cylinder head. Make sure to get all of the previous gasket material off of the head to allow for a proper seal when reinstalling. With the gasket material gone, place the cylinder head in the first tub.  If you are using liquid parts cleaner, pour the parts cleaner into the tub with the cylinder head so you can use it as you clean.  If you are using a spray cleaner, you will not need to fill the tub.  Be careful when moving the cylinder head around.  There are studs and vacuum line nozzles that will likely be sticking out your cylinder head that can be damaged if banged against walls or tables. Depending on the situation, you may need help moving the cylinder heads into and out of the tubs, as they can be rather heavy. Use a rag and the cleaning agent of your choice to scrub every portion of the cylinder head that you can access.  Pour or spray cleaner into the areas of the cylinder head that you are unable to reach.  The cleaning agent will break up most carbon deposits and burnt oil, but you may need to scrub a bit in some areas.  Do not use a steel tooth brush or anything else that could damage the mating surfaces of the cylinder head when scrubbing. Take your time to ensure you clean every nook and cranny of the cylinder head. After you scrub your cylinder heads, fill the second tub up with warm water.  Make sure the tub is tall enough to allow the cylinder head to be completely...


Use a pole sander with drywall sandpaper to sand the hard-to-reach joints after the final coat has dried. Use a handheld drywall sander with fine-grit sandpaper to hit everything else. With a handheld light and pencil, go over any surface with compound on it and inspect for flaws. Prime the walls, then sand again. Don't over-sand.

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

Don't get carried away and sand until you expose the paper. This step goes quickly because the mud will sand off easily. Again, caution is key here. A quick couple of scrapes over the joints is all you need. The light will help you spot imperfections. Circle any problem areas with the pencil. Use a sponge sander or hand sander to briefly hit any flawed areas. Apply a coat of primer to the walls, then sand the entire area lightly using a pole sander. Although most beginners skip this step, it's critical for getting a nice, even finish and for avoiding fuzzy paper residue and fluff left over from the initial sanding. Sanding can be satisfying and fun, but sometimes people sand unnecessarily, sanding through tape. If this happens, apply some more mud and re-sand it when it dries.


Use a pool cover. Have the proper chemical levels in the pool. Clean the pool regularly.

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

To keep the pool liner clean, use a pool cover when you are not using the pool often. You may do this during the winter time to protect the pool liner. Get a pool cover that fits the pool well and is tightly sealed at the edges. This will keep dirt and debris out of the pool, which can then create stains on the liner. If you are using a pool cover that floats over the pool, make sure you lift the edge of the cover every few weeks to confirm no leaves or debris has gotten into the pool. Most pools will self clean and maintain themselves well if there are proper chemical levels in the pool. To ensure the pool liner stays clean, check that the pool’s alkalinity, calcium hardness, pH, and chlorine levels are correct. You can use a testing kit to determine the chemical levels in the pool. Test the levels once a week to ensure they are correct.  In a standard size pool, the recommended chemical levels are a pH of 7.4-7.8, a total alkalinity level of 100-150 ppm (parts per million), and a calcium hardness of 200-250 ppm. The chlorine level in a non heated pool should be 1-3 ppm and the chlorine level in a heated pool should be 2-4 ppm. If you are covering your pool with a pool cover during the winter, reduce the amount of chemicals in the pool by 60%. Maintain the pool liner by cleaning your pool at least once a week. Use a skimmer to remove any leaves, dirt, and debris on the surface of the pool. Vacuum the pool to remove algae. Brush the pool liner with a pool brush to get rid of dirt before they become stains.  You may consider getting the pool professionally cleaned once a year, especially if you use it often.


Use a portion-control or timed feeding method. Clean up dog poop immediately. Remove any fly breeding areas. Fix screens in your windows and doors.

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

Portion-control feeding means to measure out the exact amount of food your dog should have per meal, and only giving your dog that amount.  If you’re feeding based on meals, you should feed your dog twice per day, about 8-12 hours apart.  Timed feeding means that you put out your dog’s meal for a certain period of time, and then take the food away once that time is up, even if there’s some left over.  Over time your dog will realize it has limited time to eat, and will consume its entire meal during that time.  Either method will help ensure there isn’t left over dog food sitting in a bowl that may attract flies. If you decide to use a method whereby your dog can graze on food throughout the day, you may wish to keep the food and waters bowls quite separate to prevent dry dog food from getting wet.  The dampness of the food may attract flies. Flies are attracted to dog poop like they are to dog food.  Obviously the dog food has to stay, but there’s no reason why the dog poop has to be left in the yard for any period of time.  Clean-up and dispose of dog waste immediately after your dog has done its business and you should start to see the number of flies in the area decrease. Flies breed in moist or semi-liquid areas where they have access to vegetable or animal waste, including garbage, feces, compost piles and more.  It only takes a maggot about 2-3 weeks to become a fly, and once hatched, flies tend to stick close to where they were born.  Therefore cleaning up any breeding areas, and keeping them clean, will help ensure no new flies are born in the area. For dogs that are primarily outdoors, such as working dogs, another possibly breeding place for flies is the dog itself.  Keeping your dog clean and dry, and making sure any open wounds are taken care of immediately, will also help remove possible fly breeding areas. Most flies that you find inside your house got there because they found an opening somewhere - such as a rip in a screen.  The best way to keep flies out of the house is to make sure they...


Use a proxy server. Take your computer to a free Wi-Fi hotspot. Try a VPN service. Change your IP address. Try a Chatroulette alternative.

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

A proxy server or site allows you to browse the web through a third-party server, thereby masking your own IP address. Though this will not technically unban you from Chatroulette, you can use a proxy to mask your IP address. Though many of these services might be slower than what you're used to, they may be fast enough to use as a temporary workaround.  Some popular free proxy service options are VPNBook and FilterBypass.  Chatroulette may automatically block the IP addresses of certain proxy sites. You may have to try a few different proxies before finding one that works. Common options include coffee shops and libraries, but since these places are often packed with other people, video chatting will be rude and difficult to do. Search for something more private, like a private study room inside of a library. A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a network that allows you to access data from public networks, like the Internet, while maintaining the security of a private network. VPNs are similar to proxy servers except your connection will also be encrypted. Most VPNs cost money, but the price is usually reasonable. Some popular VPN services are ExpressVPN, Norton Secure VPN, and NordVPN. This is usually not an easy task, as most home users' IP addresses are automatically assigned by the ISP. You may be able to force a new IP address to be assigned using the steps in this wikiHow. If not, you can try calling your ISP and request a new IP address be assigned.  One way to try to get a new IP address is to unplug your modem for 5 minutes and then plug it back in. If that doesn't work, see if leaving the modem unplugged overnight gives you different results. You could also try calling your ISP to request a new IP address for your connection. If you're just looking to video chat with new people, you can try using one of the many Chatroulette alternatives. Check out Omegle, Chatrandom, and Faceflow are just a few different options.


Use a purple or blue shampoo twice a week to avoid brassy tones. Wash your hair with color-protective products. Use a hair toner for a temporary fix to brassy tones. Add lowlights if you are bleached blonde. Install a shower water filter for a natural preventative to brassy tones.

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

A shampoo that is violet toned will work to neutralize warm tones in your hair, such as yellows. A blue shampoo will neutralize orange tones. For hair that has been bleached blonde, use a specifically purple shampoo, and for hair that has been bleached to a lighter brown, use a blue-tinted purple shampoo. Purple shampoos work by balancing out yellow tones, since purple and yellow are opposite on the color wheel. Blue shampoos balance orange tones because blue and orange are opposite on the color wheel. Only using purple shampoo could give your hair a purple tinge, so alternating purple shampoo with color-protective products works well. These are designed to keep colored hair healthy, hydrated, and strong, but without the violet pigment. Color-protective products come in the form of shampoo, conditioner, and hair masks. Hair toner is a demi permanent hair dye which works to neutralize brassy tones. It needs to be applied every 6 - 8 weeks to keep the brassy tones away.  Use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to prevent removing the toner from your hair. You can use purple shampoo in combination with hair toner, to help it stay in your hair for longer. Hair toner is normally done at a hair salon, but there are also home options available which can be purchased from hair product stores. Lowlights work by darkening the hair which is already brassy, creating darker shades within your blonde hair. This reverses the orange and brassy tones through adding more color. Lowlights are best done at a hair salon. The mineral components of hard water can cause bleached hair to become brassy. A water filter reduces the number of mineral deposits within the water source, which will help to stop your hair from turning orange. Iron is the main element which adds orange or brassy tones.


Use a putty knife to cut the foam. Heat your utility knife before you cut with it. Try cutting the foam with a hot wire cutter.

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

If you don't have a utility knife, a putty knife can work as an alternative. Sharpen the putty knife to give it a pointed edge, then use it in place of your utility knife as you cut through the foam. Heating up the knife with a flame beforehand tends to result in a smoother cut. Hold the knife underneath a lighter for several seconds, then use it as you would a cool utility knife. If you heat the knife beforehand, use safety precautions around the fire. Handle the knife with a fire-resistant pair of gloves to prevent burning yourself. Hot wire cutters are ideal if you need to make straight cuts. Push the foam through the hot wire cutter's blade, carefully keeping your hands away from the wire blade. If you don't currently have a hot wire cutter, you may be able to rent one from a hardware store.


Use a putty knife to put wood filler into any holes or cracks on your board. Sand the surface of your table. Apply a thin layer of primer paint to all visible surfaces of the board and legs. Add a layer of white high-gloss latex paint. Pick out your paint colors and design. Paint the rest of your board with whatever color you choose.

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

Check the filler’s box for instructions on how long to let it dry. The surface of your cornhole board should be as smooth as possible.  If you put too much filler in a crack, it can be sanded down once it is dried. A smooth table will allow bean bags to slide better. Use an electric sander if you have one. If you don’t have one, medium grit sandpaper will work well. You can use a paintbrush or roller. Let the primer dry. The primer will dry white. This layer will act as the border if you are following a traditional cornhole design. Let this layer dry. The traditional cornhole table has a white border 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) wide. It also has a 1.5-inch border around the circle. Use painters tape and cover whatever you want to stay white with the tape. Make sure to use high-gloss latex paint. This type of paint will leave your board smooth so the bean bags will be able to slide more easily. Let the paint dry. If your paint is too light for your liking, add more layers. If you decide not to do the traditional paint pattern, get creative! Use painters tape to create shapes that you can paint on or around. Use bright colors and make your cornhole board stand out in a crowd.


Use a quality rake. Position your body properly. Transport your leaves with a tarp. Stomp on your pile.

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

Many people have an old rake in the tool shed, but an older rake may not be as efficient as a new one. To make raking more efficient, invest in a quality rake.  Look for a rake that has an ergonomic handle and that is lightweight. This will help to reduce the strain on your back. Choosing a rake that has a wide end will also help to ensure that you can rake up as many leaves a possible with every sweep. Proper body positioning is also essential to successful raking. Some things to keep in mind when you rake include:  Your hand positions. When you hold the rake, grasp it with both hands and change your hand positions now and then as you rake. Your knees. Keep your knees slightly bent. Try not to bend too far forward at the waist. Your movement. It is helpful to move backwards as you rake. Try to rake the leaves towards you as you walk backwards. You can also save time and energy by raking your leaves onto a tarp, sheet, or canvas cloth. Before you begin raking, lay out a tarp or other large piece of material on the ground. Then, begin raking the leaves onto the tarp.  Rake one area of your yard until the tarp is full, then drag the tarp to your main pile. If you prefer, you can also rake your leaves directly into bags. Then, you can transport the bags to a mulch pile or other disposal area. As you rake leaves onto the tarp or into bags, make sure that you stomp them down now and then. This will help to ensure that you have plenty of room for all of your leaves.  To stomp on your leaves, simply step on them or put one foot into the leaf bag to stomp them down. If you are using bags, just try to avoid filling the bags too full. You should still be able to pick the bags up easily.


Use a razor blade to peel up paint on hard surfaces. Sand away the paint if you are working with wood. Wipe vinegar onto painted glass. Use thinner to remove paint from brushes. Warm up the painted area with a heat gun.

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

Position the razor blade so that it is almost flat against the surface. Then, press down slowly and move the edge of the blade against the painted area. Continue sliding the blade back and forth until the paint begins to separate and peel.  Be very careful handling a razor blade or you might cut yourself. Never place your fingers or hand in front of the blade. Check after each stroke to ensure that you are not scratching the surface with the blade. Get a medium-grade sandpaper and sand over the painted areas. Sand in small overlapping circles to get the most paint off. Apply gentle, but consistent pressure. If you are worried about damaging the wood, use an even finer grade paper and check for marks as you go along. Create a 50-50 white vinegar and water mixture. Place this mixture in the microwave and heat it until it is just warm. Then, wet down the edge of a rag and rub it against the painted glass area. Continue rubbing in circles until you see the paint start to peel up. Make sure to place the mixture into a microwave-safe container. Empty and rinse out an old glass jar. Pour about 2 inches (5.1 cm) of paint thinner into the jar. Then, when you are finished painting, set your brush inside the jar and move it around. Watch as the paint begins to fall off the bristles. Remove the brush and wipe it off with a junk towel.  When you are done cleaning your brushes, you can put a lid on the jar and use it again after another project. Sealed paint thinner will last for months. Make sure to purchase and use a thinner designed for enamel or oil-based paints. Purchase a heat gun at your local hardware or home improvement store. These guns work by sending hot air against a surface. Read the instructions that came with your gun and practice holding it before plugging it in. Then, plug it in and aim the hot air against the painted surface. Wait until the paint heats up and use a scraper to pull it away.  Be very careful when handling or using a heat gun, as you can burn yourself severely. Heat and peel the paint away...


Use a real life crime or event as inspiration. Come up with a unique detective. Give the detective a companion or partner. Create an engaging plot. Read examples of detective stories.

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

A good detective story usually starts with a strange or intriguing crime. Look at current news stories for crimes that have been committed recently or solved by real life detectives. Use a crime from the past, such as a cold case that has never been solved, as inspiration for the crime in your story.  Look at the crime section in newspapers, true crime shows, and old newspapers at your local library. You can also use a crime that happened to a friend or family member as inspiration for a fictional crime. For example, you may focus on a crime like the murder of a close relative to someone the detective knows or the kidnapping of the most famous police dog in the county. The detective in your story is at the center of the mystery so they should be memorable, unique, and smart. They should have character traits like a keen sense of observation and an ability to get information from others. Make the detective in your story brilliant, but also human, with flaws. For example, you may have a detective that is an older woman who appears frail and bumbling, but is in fact a genius at solving crimes. Or you may have a detective who is blind but is able to rely on their other senses to observe their surroundings. Come up with a secondary character who works with the detective. The companion or partner can give the reader someone to identify with, as the reader may not be able to relate to a genius detective. The companion may not be as smart as the detective, but they can offer perspective on the crime. They can also assist the detective as needed. For example, a famous companion would be Dr. Watson in the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Dr. Watson acts as a foil to Sherlock Holmes, as he is not as smart but he does help Sherlock to empathize with others and see the crimes in a different light. A good detective story will have a well-paced plot. A traditional plot outline includes six parts: the set up, the inciting incident, the rising action, the climax, the falling action, and the resolution. An example plot may be:  The...


Use a real life romantic experience as inspiration. Use romantic movies or television shows as inspiration. Create an engaging main character. Focus on a particular type of romance novel. Read examples of romance novels.

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

Draw from your own romantic experiences in life and adapt them for your novel. Fictionalize a chance encounter you had on vacation or a special moment you experienced with your partner. Use past romantic relationships as raw material for your novel.  For example, you may take a passionate but doomed relationship in your past and change around real life names to fictionalize it. You may also change the setting or small details to make the situation more dramatic. You can also use the real life romances of others around you as inspiration. Maybe you have a friend who is in a stormy romance. Or perhaps you have a sibling who had a passionate relationship in the past. You can also reference romantic movies or tv shows that you enjoy watching. Make your own version of a romantic movie that you like. Reimagine a romance on a tv show with characters that you create or in a different setting. You can also use romantic books and songs as inspiration for your romance novel. Have a main character that is relatable and likeable for readers. The main character, who is usually also the narrator, should be welcoming and accessible to your audience. They should feel unique and interesting to your reader. For example, you may have a main character who is a high-profile criminal lawyer by day, and a single woman struggling to meet someone on her level at night. Or you may have a main character who is left by her husband and copes by going back to her hometown. There are many different types of romance novels, from historical romance to young adult romance to paranormal romance. Decide which type you’d like to write. Choose a type that fits your story idea so you can cater to your audience.  For example, if you are writing a romance set in 1930s West Virginia or during WWI, you are writing historical romance. If you are writing about a romance between a ghost and a woman, you are writing paranormal romance. Get a better sense of the genre by reading romance novels that are considered successful and well done. Go to your local...


Use a relative cell reference in a formula. Understand why they're called relative references. Use an absolute reference instead. Use the F4 key to switch between absolute and relative.

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

In an Excel formula, a "cell reference" is the address a cell. You can type these in manually, or click on the cell you wish to use while you are entering a formula. For example, the following spreadsheet has a formula that references cell A2:     Relative References     Column A Column B Column C    row 2    50       7       =A2*2     row 3    100           row 4     200           row 5    400 In an Excel formula, a relative reference uses the relative position of a cell address. For example: cell C2 has the formula “=A2”, which is a relative reference to the value two cells to the left. If you copy the formula into cell C4, then it will still refer to two cells to the left, now showing “=A4”.      Relative References     Column A Column B Column C    row 2    50       7       =A2*2     row 3    100           row 4     200         =A4*2     row 5    400              This works for cells outside of the same row and column as well. If you copied the same formula from cell C1 into cell D6 (not shown), Excel would change the reference "A2" to a cell one row to the right (C→D) and 5 rows below (2→7), or "B7". Let's say you don't want Excel to automatically change your formula. Instead of using a relative cell reference, you can make it absolute by adding a $ symbol in front of the column or row that you want to keep the same, no matter where you copy the formula too. Here are a few example spreadsheets, showing the original formula in larger, bold text, and the result when you copy-paste it to other cells:     Relative Column, Absolute Row (B$1):The formula has an absolute reference to row 1, so it always refers to row 1.     Column A Column B Column C    row 1    50       7       =B$3     row 2    100       =A$3     =B$3     row 3     200       =A$3     =B$3     row 4    400       =A$3     =B$3         Absolute Column, Relative Row ($B1):The formula has an absolute reference to column B, so it always refers to column B.     Column A Column B Column C    row 1    50       7       =$B1     row 2    100       =$B2 ...


Use a reputable jeweler. Have the gem appraised. Request a report from a reputable gemological laboratory such as American Gemological Laboratories (AGL). Understand pricing. Understand the process of oiling.

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

Buy valuable gems from a trusted source. Be sure that the jeweler has an established reputation.  It is best to find a jeweler with a return policy for products that are sold with inaccurate descriptions of clarity and quality. It is a good idea to have very expensive gems (or gems that are three carats or larger) appraised by a third party. It is best to use an appraiser who holds membership in the American Society of Appraisers, one of the oldest appraisal societies in the United States.  To find an appraiser, take the following steps:  Search the American Society of Appraisers’ website here. Click on “find an appraiser,” then enter your zip code. Type in “gems and jewelry” in the appraisal expertise section. Select an appraiser from among the search results. In order to appropriately evaluate the value of an emerald that you are considering purchasing, you can request an AGL report, which identifies the type, size, cut, clarity, color, and origin of the emerald you are purchasing. This report will give you some degree of confidence as to the quality and value of your gem, even before getting a third-party appraisal. Before purchasing an emerald, you should be sure that you are getting a good quality gem for the amount of money you are spending.  An AGL report will give you a starting point, but the AGL may not represent accurate market value (AGL report prices are often inflated).  To get a better feel for fair pricing, you may want to shop at different jewelers, taking notes about the color, cut, and quality of each gem that you are pricing. Keep in mind that pricing a stone is ultimately subjective, so you cannot necessarily come up with a specific “formula” for the exact value of a stone. Emeralds are often treated with oil or resin to improve the stones clarity. This is done because of the emeralds Type 3 nature which means its naturally included. Clarity enhancement is common practice and is considered an acceptable enhancement to the appearance of the gemstone unless it is treated with dyed oil....


Use a reputable news source. Choose an article that is less than one week old. Choose an article on the correct topic. Make sure the article is a good length.

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

Choose a source that offers well-written and well-researched news. Avoid blogs and other personal websites, since these types of writings are more rooted in opinion than factual news. Determine the credibility of the source by examining the author, the news source, who owns the news source, and so on.  Some possible news sources might include your local newspaper or larger newspapers such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and others. Check with your teacher for suggestions. He may have specific news sources to use. Since the assignment is to write about a current event, select an article that is fresh. The article should only be one to two days old when you write the summary. It should definitely be less than one week old by the time you turn it in. You may have an assigned topic, such as healthcare, government, technology, international news, or sports. These are still very broad topics, so you should be able to find plenty of news on the topic.  Most major newspapers have sections on their websites dedicated to certain topics. For example, the Washington Post has a section dedicated to “Tech.” Search online for an article on one of these topics. For example, try searching “healthcare news” to find new information. You should choose an article that gives you enough information to work with. It should help you understand the topic at hand, and it should give you enough material to write about in your summary. An article that is one to two paragraphs long is probably not going to be lengthy enough.


Use a rinse to clean your mouth. Avoid foods that are acidic, sugary, or hard to eat. Drink cold water or iced tea. Put an oral anesthetic gel onto any sores or cuts.

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

This can help to treat any sores or cuts caused by poking wires.  Dissolve one teaspoon of salt in one cup of lukewarm water. Use this as a mouthwash by swishing around your mouth for 60 seconds. This may sting at first, but it will help to relieve prolonged discomfort and prevent infection. Repeat this four to six times a day. Instead, eat a soft, bland diet.   Eat foods such as mashed potatoes, yogurt, and soups. Avoid coffee, spicy foods, chocolate, citrus fruits or juices, nuts, seeds, and tomatoes. These foods are high in acid and can aggravate any sores or cuts from your wires. Cold (unsweetened) beverages can help ease the pain from sores.  Use a straw to sip a cold drink, taking care not to scrape the cut or sore. You can also eat popsicles to apply cold to the sore. Alternatively, suck on an ice cube. Let the ice sit on the cut or sore for a few seconds at a time. These can help relieve any discomfort from poking wires temporarily.  You can buy Orajel or Anbesol at most pharmacies. Put a small amount of the gel on the end of a q-tip. Rub the gel over any sores or cuts in your mouth. You can reapply the gel three or four times each day.


Use a rodenticide in combination with other methods. Create rodenticide bait stations to protect non-target animals. Continue baiting the tunnels for 5 to 10 days.

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

Chemical control is most effective in combination with preventative methods, such as installing barriers and removing food sources. Find an anticoagulant rodenticide labeled for voles at garden centers or retail stores. Read your product's instructions, use it as directed, and take all recommended safety precautions.  For general guidelines, set 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of rodenticide pellets in a bait container at the opening of a vole tunnel. Keep small children and pets away from rodenticide. Before you put out rodenticide bait, make sure it's legal to use chemicals to control voles in your area. To avoid killing birds and other non-pest animals, use store-bought covered bait containers. Alternatively, you could make your own using PVC pipe or water-repellent mailing tube.  Cut a 12 in (30 cm) length of pipe or tube, place the rodenticide bait inside, and bury it inside a vole tunnel. Accidentally killing non-target species may be illegal in your area, so taking safety precautions is important. Anticoagulant rodenticide needs to be consumed for 5 days in order to be effective. Check your bait stations every other day and, if necessary, refill them. Monitor them for up to 10 days, then place traps baited with apple or peanut butter by tunnel entrances to check your progress.  If you don't catch any voles, your chemical applications were effective. If you still have a vole problem, continue using rodenticide bait, or consider calling a professional. Remember to promptly dispose of any dead voles.


Use a ruler to draw a line where you want the rick rack to go. Position the rick rack along the chalk guideline.

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

To ensure that the rick rack will be straight, it is helpful to draw a straight line on the fabric where you want the rick rack to go. Use a ruler as a straight edge and mark the fabric with chalk where you want to place the line. If your fabric already has a visible stitch along the seam where you want to sew the rick rack, then you can also use this seam as your guide. Place the rick rack over the line you have drawn or over the seam. Line up the bottom curve of the waves with the guideline or seam.


Use a ruler to draw a vertical line going down your paper. Make a dot on your line at the 4.5 cm (1.8 in) mark. Draw a horizontal line across the dot. Orient the ruler diagonally going from the top left to the bottom right. Draw a line that’s 8 cm (3.1 in) long. Make a diagonal line going in the opposite direction. Use the sketched lines as a guide for where to draw the edges. Use curved lines to create the border of India.

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

Start with a blank piece of paper, a ruler, and a pencil. Draw a vertical line slightly to the left of the center of the page about 14.5 cm (5.7 in) long.  For your line to be off-center slightly, begin drawing it roughly two-fifths of the way across the top of the page. Draw the line lightly so that you can erase it later on. Draw a light dot or tick mark 4.5 cm (1.8 in) from the top of the line. This dot is a reference point for where to place your ruler for the next horizontal mark, so mark it lightly but visibly. Use your pencil and ruler to draw a straight horizontal line that extends 4 cm (1.6 in) to the left of the mark and 8 cm (3.1 in) to the right of the mark. Your lines will form a rough cross shape. Locate the center point on your drawing where both lines converge and place your ruler along this dot. Twist your ruler so that it’s running diagonally across the page. Align the ruler diagonally so that there's 3 cm (1.2 in) to the left of the center dot and 5 cm (2.0 in) to the right of the center dot. Use your pencil to make the line. Once you’re finished, your new line will slope straight downwards. Reposition your ruler and create a new diagonal line that extends 2 cm (0.79 in) to the right of the center mark and 3–4 cm (1.2–1.6 in) to the left. This line should form the other half of an "X" shape from the first diagonal line. You should now have 4 lines total: a long line vertically, a long line horizontally, and 2 diagonal lines that form a stubby X. The tips of these lines show you the boundary of India, or where the outline of your drawing will extend. While India will have lots of complex curves when you draw it in detail, this is its simplified shape. The outline of India is almost entirely made up of detailed curves, both big and small. To draw your map accurately, refer to a map of India to see where exactly the curves swoop inwards and outwards, as well as how close together or far apart they should be. For example, the bottom portion of India looks like a V shape while the portion of...


Use a satin or semi-gloss paint. Go with what you like. Change the ambiance of the room. Complement new fixtures and decorations.

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

Most experts recommend choosing a paint with a smooth, creamy consistency, rather than one with a lot of luster or texture. This will make your cabinets easier to clean. It can also help diffuse the lighting in your bathroom and create a soft, warm atmosphere. Silky finishes also tend to last longer, as they don’t lose as much shine as time goes on.  Smooth paints are easy to clean and resistant to mildew buildup, which will be a plus for humid bathrooms where bathing is done. A single gallon of paint should be more than enough to redesign your bathroom and still have some left over for future projects. When picking out paint for your bathroom, listen to your gut and get as creative as you please. Now is your chance to reimagine the room with a beachy aesthetic complete with a seafoam green vanity, or lend it a peaceful springtime glow using lavender or other pastels. Feel free to explore new, daring ideas.  To make your home more cohesive, consider matching the color of the bathroom cabinets to the cabinets in other bathrooms or to your kitchen cabinets. Compare samples until you find a paint that really stands out to you.  Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors in order to find the right one. If it doesn’t come out the way you want, all you have to do is repaint. If you’ve traditionally had light or dark cabinets in your bathroom, switch things up and reverse the appearance of the room. Redo dark shades or wood stains in a light cream finish, or paint over plain white surfaces with sleek, attractive colors like gunmetal or hunter green. Taking your bathroom’s color scheme in the opposite direction will make it look and feel like a whole new room.  Lighter shades will be good for country-style homes and bathrooms with large windows, and for making small half baths look roomier.  Dark colors can be used to establish a relaxing spa-like atmosphere, especially when paired with natural hues and materials. Choose a paint that suits the rest of the decor in the bathroom. For instance, you could bring...


Use a satin pillowcase to avoid waking up with frizzy hair. Wear a T-shirt turban to keep your curls from getting flattened or dented. Plop your hair

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

Change your regular pillowcase to one your hair is able to smoothly glide over. For the best protection for your curls, choose a hairstyle such as a braid or a pineapple and use this in combination with a satin pillowcase.  A silk pillowcase is a good alternative. Avoid sleeping on cotton pillowcases if you have curly or frizz-prone hair.  You can also wear a satin bonnet to help protect your hair even more. A satin bonnet also helps if you have acne, as it prevents the oils from your hair touching your face. Flip your hair forward and place the base of a T-shirt on the nape of your neck. Bring the base of the T-shirt around your forehead and secure each side with a safety pin that rests flat on your forehead. Bring your head back up and wrap the sleeves of the T-shirt around your hair. Knot the sleeves together, taking care not to include your curls in the knot, and your curls will be held in place throughout the night. At the end of creating this style, your hair will be sticking up and spilling slightly out of the top of the T-shirt. The T-shirt turban will feel secure and it will be comfortable to sleep in. using a microfiber towel to keep your curls intact. Style your hair into your preferred curls first using a curl styling gel. Then place a thin, microfiber towel on a flat surface. Flip your hair forward so that it rests on the towel and bring the towel over the back of your head. Bring your head back up and tie each long side of the towel together in a knot at the back of your head so that it holds in place.  This method will also help to dry your hair as you sleep. If the towel is too difficult to knot, use a clip instead.


Use a savings account or buy a certificate of deposit. Invest in government or municipal bonds. Buy stocks. Find out about fees you may have to pay on your investments.

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

A savings account gives you access to your money at any time with very low risk. This option, however, offers a low interest rate on your investment. A certificate of deposit (CD) offers a slightly better return, but with less flexibility. You must leave the money with the bank for a period of time ranging from months to years.  These investments have several benefits. They are easy to set up, and they're typically insured for up to $250,000 by the FDIC, meaning they're very safe.   The downside is that these investments pay very little interest. Without much interest, you don’t generate as much compounded interest. As a result, CDs and savings accounts are suitable only for holding small amounts of money for very short periods of time. They may improve as savings vehicles in times of high interest rates. Smaller banks and credit unions will sometimes offer higher interest rates in order to attract customers away from larger institutions. When you buy bonds, you are loaning money to a government or municipality. You can also invest in bonds issued by corporations.   Bonds pay a fixed rate of interest on your investment each year. You can reinvest your interest in more bonds and allow compounding to work for you. Payment of your original investment (principal) and your interest is based on the credit rating of the issuer. Government bonds and municipal bonds are often guaranteed by tax dollars that the issuer collects, so risk is low. A corporate bond’s payments are based on the creditworthiness of the corporation. A company that generates consistent earnings will have a better credit rating.  You can buy bonds through your bank, or using a financial advisor.    There is a downside to bonds investing. When interest rates are low, returns can be small. Even in times of higher rates, bonds usually offer lower returns than stocks. Bonds, however, are normally considered less risky than stocks.  The average return on bonds since 1928 (including compounding) is 6.7% per year, compared to 10% for stocks. When you...


Use a seam ripper to take out them hems on the curtains. Measure the length and width of the curtain. Cut the liner according to your measurements. Fold the bottom of the liner and hem it in place. Hem the sides of the curtain. Fold the top of the curtain over and hem it in place. Consider using iron-on tape for a temporary fix.

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

You'll need to remove the hems from the sides and tops of the curtains, but not the bottoms. Place the curtains flat on a clean surface. Take a measuring tape and measure from the bottom to the top of your curtains. Then measure how wide the curtains are across the bottom. Add 8 inches (20 cm) to the length measurement since you'll need to hem the lining fabric. Use fabric scissors to cut the fabric according to your measurements. If your curtains are wider than the lining fabric, you may need to sew together 2 lengths of lining fabric. If you're not hemming the lining because it's coated fabric, don't add the extra length. Lay the fabric liner in place on top of your curtain. Fold the bottom end of the fabric liner under by 2 in (5 cm). Pin it into place so you can easily sew the hem across the bottom of the curtain. Fold the sides of the curtain in towards the liner. You should be able to see where the old stitches were that you ripped out. Use your sewing machine to stitch along both sides to secure the liner into the curtain. Fold the top 2 in (5 cm) of the curtain over towards the liner at the top. Sew across the top of the curtain where the old seams had been. The liner should now be securely attached to the curtain. If you don't have a sewing machine and you need temporary liner for your curtains, lay iron-on tape along the edges of the liner. Fold the curtain sides over the liner and iron them in place according to the tape manufacturer's instructions.  Iron-on tape can make your curtains appear stiff, so try sewing the liner if you prefer a more natural drape. Most iron-on tapes won't be sturdy enough to support the weight of the curtains and liners, so only use this for very light fabrics.


Use a secure Internet connection to access your accounts online. Provide your account number only on secure websites. Keep track of your checks and bank statements. Monitor your account regularly for fraud.

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

Though you may be tempted to check your bank account in a coffee shop, store, or train station, you really shouldn’t. Using an unsecure wireless connection can put you at risk for identity theft. Only access your accounts online or through a mobile app when you have access to a secure Internet connection. If you need to provide your account number online to pay bills or transfer funds, make sure the website is secure. The website address should begin with “https” as the “s” stands for “secure.” You should also look for an icon of a lock and/or the word “Secure” in the top left corner of the address bar before providing your account number.  If none of these things are present, don’t enter your account number as your information may not be kept confidential. You should not need to provide your account number for online shopping, so be wary of sites that ask you to. Don’t leave your checkbook or bank statements lying around your home or car. Instead, open and view the statements when they arrive, then store them and any other papers with your account information on them in a safe place, such as a filing cabinet. Also, keep your checkbook in a secure location. Don’t forget to shred, rather than simply recycle or toss out, old checks and bank statements to keep others from learning your account information. It’s important to look through the bank statements for your checking and savings accounts on a regular basis. Make sure you’ve been charged appropriately for all purchases. If you see any charges that you haven’t authorized, contact your bank immediately for more information.


Use a segmented blade to cut your insulated foam. Score the insulated foam with your utility knife. Make a second cut to finish the incision. Remove the clamps and examine the foam piece.

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

Segmented knives have ridges running along the bottom of the blade. Utility knives with segmented blades tend to cut rigid insulation foam more cleanly than other options. You can purchase segmented blades online or at most hardware stores. Run the utility knife along the edge of the straightedge, working as closely along the cutting line as possible. Cut closer to the outer edge of the line to prevent cutting too much foam. In most cases, scoring the insulation foam once will not remove it completely. Run the utility knife through the line a second time to separate it from the rest of the insulation piece. If the cut looks uneven or the piece is larger than what you need, draw another line, secure the foam piece with the clamps, and make another cut. But if you're satisfied with how the cut looks, your rigid foam insulation is ready for use.


Use a serger Try a zigzag stitch on your sewing machine. Use an overlock foot and your sewing machine to mimic a serger stitch.

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

to secure the edge. The most professional way to finish an edge is with a specialized sewing machine called a serger. This sewing gadget uses four threads and two needles. Thread your serger and feed your seam under the foot, moving it through your machine needles, as you would with any sewing machine.  Be careful to remove pins before feeding the fabric through the serger. A serger sews, cuts, and finishes a seam all at the same time. For this reason, it can save you time. A serger is a specialized machine that cannot replace all the more basic functions of a regular sewing machine. They cost a couple hundred dollars, but if you do a lot of finishing work this might be a good choice for you. Set your sewing machine to the zigzag setting by using the dial or digital display on its side. Place the fabric under the raised foot of your machine. Lower the foot and proceed to feed the fabric through the machine. Keep the fabric’s edge lined up with the middle of the foot.  Refer to your machine’s manual for details if you’re unsure how to set it for a zigzag stitch. Add a few reverse stitches at the beginning and end to knot the thread. Remove the regular foot of your machine and attach the overlock foot in its place. Set your machine to do an overlocking stitch. Line your fabric up with the inner edge of the foot. Feed the fabric through the machine as usual.  By attaching an overlock foot to your sewing machine you can create a stitch that looks similar to what a serger creates. Use a zigzag setting with the overlock foot to achieve a similar finishing effect if you don’t have an overlock setting on your machine.  Consult your sewing machine manual for details on switching out the foot. It is usually a matter of popping it off and on, no tools required.


Use a set of hair clippers with different guards. Wet your hair before you cut it. Put your guard on your blade and turn on your clippers. Trim the side of your hair starting at the your hairline near your ear. Trim the back of your hair from the nape of your neck upwards. Change your guard if you want your top longer than the sides. Trim the top of your hair from your hairline to the crown of your head. Check your haircut in the mirror and touch it up as needed.

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

You can easily cut short hairstyles using hair clippers. Most sets come with many different guard settings, and each guard number corresponds to the hair cut size it creates. The larger the number, the longer your hair will be. Most guard sizes range from ½ to 8. Each guard size corresponds to a measurement of hair. For instance, number 1 guard cuts your hair to 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm), number 2 cuts to 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm), number 3 cuts to 3⁄8 in (0.95 cm), number 4 cuts to 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm), number 5 cuts to 5⁄8 in (1.6 cm), number 6 cuts to 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm), number 7 cuts to 7⁄8 in (2.2 cm), and number 8 cuts to 1 in (2.5 cm). It is easiest to trim hair with clippers when your hair is damp. You can cut your hair after you get out of the shower, or you can spray a light, even layer of water over your head with a spray bottle. In addition, you can run your hands under the sink and then run them through your hair. When you are ready to cut your hair, simply snap the guard on top of your blade. To do this, place the end with the teeth at the blade, and snap the other end into place at the base of the blade. Then, plug in your clippers and flip the switch to the “on” position.  You can trim your hair so it is slightly longer on top and slightly shorter on the sides. To do this, use a guard 1 size larger on top and 1 size smaller on the sides. If you want to trim your hair to all the same length, use 1 guard for all of your hair. Alternatively, you can use wireless clippers as well. When you trim your hair yourself, it is easiest to start on the side. Watch yourself carefully in a clear mirror. Place your clippers at your hairline above your ears, and move the clippers towards the crown of your head. When you reach the top of your head, flick your wrist outward to move the clippers from your head. This way, you do not trim the hair on top. Continue doing this for both the left and right side of your head. The clippers will effortlessly trim your hair for you, without going any shorter than your guard. Place the clippers at...


Use a shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. Use a deep conditioner. Use a boar-hair bristle brush. Get your hair trimmed regularly. Avoid tight hairstyles and teasing. Wear your hair down or in a loose up-do.

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

Read the labels of all of your hair products carefully. Look for shampoos and conditioners that are made specifically for your hair type and contain vitamins A, B, C, and or E. These vitamins will nourish and hydrate your hair. Avoid products that contain two or more detergents, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and ammonium lauryl sulfate. This product will strip your hair of its natural oils and cause more damage.  If you have dry hair, look for a moisturizing shampoo. For oily hair, look for a clarifying or deep cleansing shampoo. Don’t over wash your hair. Try switching to a regiment of shampooing your hair one day and using conditioner the following day.  When shampooing your hair, apply the product directly to your scalp. Lather it in and let it run down your hair. If you have an oily scalp, only apply conditioner to the ends of your hair. Applying a deep conditioner to your hair once a week can repair, replenish, and rehydrate damaged hair from the root all the way down to the ends of your tresses.  You can either purchase a deep conditioner from your favorite beauty store or use natural ingredients to make your own deep conditioner at home. Brushing your hair with a boar hair bristle brush will result in a healthy, shinny mane. These brushes stimulate your scalp and naturally condition your hair, while reducing frizz and improving the texture of your hair. After using a boar hair bristle brush, your need for styling products will decrease and you will have to wash your hair less frequently.  When brushing your hair, concentrate on spreading your hair’s natural oils. A boar hair bristle brush works great for this. Avoid using brushes with metal or plastic bristles. When detangling wet hair, use a wide-toothed comb to get the snarls out. Start at the ends and work your way up to the roots to prevent breakage. Trimming your hair on a regular basis—about every 6 to 8 weeks—will keep your hair looking and feeling healthy. It won’t prevent hair growth, which happens at the roots, not the ends. Regular trimming...


Use a sharp chisel to shave off the nubs between drill holes. Use a flat file to smooth the bumps. Smooth the slot completely with sandpaper.

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

When you drill, you'll leave ridges between holes. Make sure your chisel is sharp before you start this step. Push the chisel against the wood at the top of a ridge between two holes. Shave off the excess along the slot so the edges are almost flat. When you start this part of the process, you can pull the slotted board off of the drill press and work with it on another table. A chisel removes the large ridges left by the holes, but the walls of the slot won't be smooth yet. Slide a file up and down against each side of the slot until the walls appear to be almost completely smooth. To get a slot with perfectly smooth walls, sandpaper is the best way to buff out the remaining roughness. Wrap a piece of sandpaper around a drill bit. Put the bit into the slot and move it up and down along the walls of the slot until you're satisfied with the smoothness.


Use a sharp knife to slice halfway through the apricot along the seam. Pull the apricot apart using your hands. Remove the pit from the middle of the apricot. Use a nutcracker to crack the apricot pit open. Limit yourself to 3 small apricot seeds if you're an adult.

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

Don't cut all the way through the apricot. Once you hit the pit in the center of the apricot with the knife, stop cutting. You need to use your hands to split the apricot in half since you can't cut through the pit in the center with a knife. The pit is the hard brown part in the center of the apricot. The apricot seed is inside of the pit. Once you've taken out the pit, slice up the rest of the apricot if you want a snack. The actual fruit part of the apricot doesn't contain amygdalin and it won't cause cyanide poisoning if you eat it. Place the apricot pit at the end of the nutcracker and squeeze the handles together to crack it open. Once you've cracked the pit open, dispose of the broken pieces and remove the apricot seed. There should be 1 apricot seed inside of the pit. If you're feeding the apricot seed to a toddler, cut the seed in half with a knife and don't give them more than half a seed per day. Eating more seeds than this can lead to cyanide poisoning.


Use a shorter guard if you want shorter hair. Brush your hair with a damp or dry comb/brush. Begin trimming your leg hair. Be systematic while trimming. Decide if you want to trim your hair even shorter.

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

Use the 1/8 inch guard if you want your hair to be especially short. Use the 1/4 inch or the 3/8 inch guard to get a groomed look. Start with a longer guard if you’re unsure, as you can always attach a shorter guard and re-trim later if you decide you want your hair shorter. Brush all of your leg hair so that it all flows in same direction. If you’re standing up, your hair should all flow downwards after brushing. If you want your leg hair to be damp when using the trimmer, use a wet brush instead of a dry one.  Damp hair--not soaking wet hair--maybe easier to trim compared to dry hair, but this varies based on length and type of hair. For example, it may be easier to trim curly and especially long hair if you first dampen the hair.  Hair becomes longer when wet. For example, if you trim your wet leg hair to exactly 1/2 an inch, the length of your dry leg hair will be less than 1/2 an inch. If you’re using an electric trimmer make sure it’s plugged in or charged (if it’s cordless). Attach the guard of desired length to the trimmer. Turn the trimmer on (if it’s electric) and trim your leg hair by running the trimmer along with the grain, that is, in the same direction as your brushed hair flows. You don’t want to miss any spots, so make sure to trim your hair systematically. Start with the upper part of one leg, going all the way around, and then do the lower part of that same leg. Then move on to the other leg. Take a look at the hair on your legs after trimming. Look at yourself in the mirror. Do you like the way your legs look? If you want to go shorter, trim your leg hair again, this time using a shorter guard. If the length looks good but you missed a few spots, you’ll want to go over your legs again with the same trimmer + guard.  Make sure to brush your hair again before re-trimming. A less thorough trimming may actually look more natural which could be preferable if you’re aiming to avoid looking overly groomed.


Use a shovel to break up and remove any remaining roots. Place the burned pieces in a fire-safe container or bucket. Fill the burned-out hole with new soil.

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

Once the fire has stopped smoldering and all the wood has been burned, use your shovel to break up any large pieces of root or stump that are still in the holes. If the roots of the stump are still in place and tough to remove with a shovel, consider chopping them with an ax to break them up and make them easier to remove. Do NOT place these pieces on the grass surrounding the burned-out stump, as they may still be smoldering and could cause a fire.  Be careful when handling these pieces; if they're still smoldering, they can burn you. Use protective gloves if possible. Aerated concrete or composite wood are good examples of fire-resistant materials you might use. Once all the debris has been removed, replace the area where the stump was with fresh soil to match the area surrounding the hole. Cover your newly filled hole with turf seed to cause grass to grow in the exposed patch of soil.


Use a silicone serum before you style your hair. Apply hairspray to your comb before using it. Apply a shine spray to tackle any flyaways. Put your hair up into a bun or top knot. Purchase a mild shampoo with moisturizers. Look for a protein-rich conditioner. Check your hair products for alcohol. Take water and some hairspray, mix it in a spray bottle. Consider humectants or anti-humectants depending on your hair.

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

These serums work by coating each strand of hair to make sure the cuticle stays smooth, and does not frizz up. Use a wide tooth comb to apply the serum and then let your hair dry or style it with a blow-dryer. Silicone products typically work much better when used with heat styling. The spray will to help weigh your hair down and flatten it with a lasting hold. Spritz a shine spray on your hands and then run them through the ends of your hair. Avoid applying it directly to your hair or to the roots, as it could make your hair look greasy.You can purchase shine spray online or at your local drugstore. If you only have 5 minutes to try to tame your frizzy hair in the morning, maybe the best solution is to just throw your hair into a stylish updo and call it a day. Top knots are a great option for a frizzy hair updo as they are supposed to have a messy, casual look. You want to avoid shampoos with harsh products as they can dry out your hair further.  Get in the habit of conditioning your hair after you shampoo. How often you shampoo and condition will depend on if you have an oily or dry scalp, as well as color treated hair, and the water quality in your shower. Take a hair quiz or survey online to determine how often you should be shampooing and conditioning your hair. It will help to manage your frizz and create a nice, healthy shine. Unless you have fine hair, you should always be looking for a deep conditioner and leave it in for 5 minutes before washing it out. Remember that products labeled this way are usually too heavy for frequent use. Alcohols can dry out your hair, especially if they are a major ingredient, setting you up for frizz or even more frizz. Watch out for the following names on the label (or any similar names): ethanol, ethyl alcohol, SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, propanol or propyl alcohol. Other types of alcohol used in hair products are fatty alcohols, which are well-tolerated. These alcohols tend to have prefixes like lauryl, cetyl, stearyl or something similar. An hour before taking a...


Use a silver testing solution on large, hardy pieces of jewelry. Test the jewelry. Observe the reaction. Clean the acid from your jewelry.

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

Avoid using this acid on delicately decorated jewelry. The acid will corrode any part of the surface that it touches. If you purchased an acid scratch testing kit, use the silver testing solution included. Otherwise, purchase the silver testing solution online or from a jewelry supply store. Drop a small amount of the silver testing solution onto the metal. Choose a hidden area of the jewelry to test. For example, if you're testing a large cuff bracelet, drop some acid on the inside of the bracelet. Alternatively, if you're testing a flat, chunky necklace, drop acid on the back of one of the necklace sections.  Wear gloves to protect your hands and work over a towel to protect your workspace. Don't drop acid on clasps or other important sections. The acid may damage any smaller workings in the jewelry. The acid will appear dark brown or clear at first and then turn into a different color. The new color will indicate the purity of the metal. For example, if the liquid turns dark or bright red, the metal is at least 99% pure silver.  If the solution turns white, the metal is 92.5% silver, or sterling silver.  If it turns a bluish green color, it's copper or another lesser metal. Wipe off the acid with a clean cloth and throw it away. Rinse the jewelry under cold water to remove any residual acid. Use a sieve or plug up your sink to avoid losing your jewelry down the drain. Allow the jewelry to completely air dry before wearing it again.
