Choose your charcoal. Light two or three coals. Place the coal on top of the bowl. Let the bowl warm up. Inhale gently and slowly.

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

There are two broad categories of hookah charcoal available, each with different benefits:  Quick light charcoal heats up fast, but burns cooler and faster. In the worst case, they can leave a chemical taste or cause a headache. Natural charcoal doesn’t interfere with flavor, but takes about ten minutes on a stove to heat up. Coconut shell and lemon wood charcoal are two popular options. Coal size and bowl size vary, so you may need to experiment. Try two or three coals first and adjust from there. Light as follows, depending on the charcoal type:  Quick light: Hold the coal with tongs, over a nonflammable area. Hold it in a lighter or match flame until it stops sparking and smoking. Remove flame and wait until the entire piece is fully covered with light grey ash, about 10–30 seconds. Blow on it if necessary until all of it glows orange. Natural: Place the coal on the coil burner of a stove, or directly in the flame of a gas stove. Crank heat to maximum and leave for 8–12 minutes. It should be glowing orange, but the ash layer is optional. Do not place the coal where ash could fall in the gas line, or on a glass-top stove. Use your coal tongs to transfer the hot coals to the foil or screen on top of the hookah bowl. Arrange the coals evenly around the rim of the bowl, or even slightly overhanging the edge. Leave the center clear unless you’re certain you need more heat. Keep an eye out for sagging foil.You don’t want the coal to touch the tobacco and scorch it. Many people wait three to five minutes before the first pull. Many other start smoking right away. Give both methods a try, since they may change the flavor and smoothness of the smoke. Some hookahs and types of charcoal take as long as 10–30 minutes to warm up properly, but these are the exception. Draw in the smoke by inhaling normally through the hose. There’s no need to strain or try to get as much smoke as possible. Even if your first pull is low on smoke, trust that more will build up as you continue. Pulling too hard or too often may overheat...


Choose your chilies. Select your oil. Experiment with flavors.

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

All chilies are not created equal, so you have options when it comes to your chili oil ingredients. While Thai chilies are quite spicy, Ancho chilies will give your oil a smokier flavor. California chilies are very mild, and guajillo chilies have spice with a citrus tang. Make sure you do a bit of research before selecting the chilies you’ll use for your chili oil. Before deciding which oil to use for this recipe, you should determine that you’ll be using the chili oil for. If you’re going to be cooking with it, it’s great to use more neutral oils like vegetable or peanut oils. However, if you’re going to be using it as a topper for dishes, you might want to select something a bit more flavorful. In this case, a great olive oil or sesame oil can add an interesting flavor. Once you’ve figured out this basic recipe, don’t be afraid to get creative. Try new chilies and new oils to create different types of chili oils. Once you’ve discovered which combinations you like most, you can officially create your own, homemade chili oil for every occasion.


Choose your coffee beans. Fill a moka pot with coffee and water Heat over medium-low. Measure sugar Pour the first drops of coffee onto your sugar. Whip the sugar and coffee together vigorously. Pour the rest of the coffee over your mixture. Serve as desired.

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

Cuban style coffee is usually a powerful, aromatic Arabica roast, most commonly found abroad from the brands Bustelo, Pilon, and La Llave. If grinding beans yourself for a traditional moka pot, grind to a slightly coarse powder, not as fine as you would for espresso. . Traditionally, Cubans make cafecito using a stovetop moka pot, which creates a dark, rich brew similar to espresso. Fill the basket of the moka pot with the coffee and level it off with your finger, but do not tamp it down. Pour water into the lower pot, up to the safety valve.  An espresso machine will also work. You can use any coffeemaker in a pinch, but the result won't be as strong as a traditional Cuban coffee. Some brewers like to preheat the water in a kettle to just below boiling. This will extract the coffee faster and prevent the grounds from overheating. Screw the parts of the moka pot together and place it on the stove burner on medium-low heat. Leave the lid open so you can see inside. into a deep cup. The key to Cuban coffee is the foam made from whipping sugar and coffee together, called espuma or espumita. Traditional Cuban families may use as much as 1 to 1½ tablespoons (15–22 mL) sugar per espresso shot (one demitasse cup). Many people nowadays prefer something somewhat less sweet, as low as 1–2 tsp (5–10 mL) sugar instead. Raw sugar is traditional, but granulated white sugar will work fine. As soon as your moka pot releases enough coffee to cover the base, pour just enough onto the sugar to moisten it. It's important to do this right away, so don't let your moka pot out of sight. It's better to add too little coffee than too much. If you end up with a liquid, try again with a new cup. Beat the coffee into the sugar with a metal spoon as hard as you can for two or three minutes. At first, this should be a dry, dark paste. As you beat in air, the mixture will become a light caramel color and foam slightly. Once your coffee is ready, pour it slowly over the sugar paste. Stir until a brown foam (the espumita) rises to the top....


Choose your color scheme based on your needs and your room. Choose shapes and textures, especially for accents. Measure tables and storage spaces in order to choose appropriate sizes. Consider whether you need serving pieces.

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

Plain white dinnerware is always very popular, because it's dishwasher safe, doesn't fade, matches most décor, showcases food well, and never goes out of style. However, you can also coordinate with your dining room or kitchen by picking a color. Dishware can also be plain or patterned.  If you have a brightly-colored dining room, neutral colors will complement it well. If you have neutral-colored décor, you can incorporate a bright color into your dishes that will bring out other aesthetic accents. When considering patterns, include some plain dinnerware with your patterns so they aren't overwhelming. Note that many patterns are created with decals or transfers and should be hand washed to prevent fading or removal. Gold- or any other metal-lined patterns should not be used in the microwave. While smooth, round dishes are the most common and versatile, they can get boring. Your collection can be improved dramatically by adding a number of complementary pieces in dramatic shapes and textures. This is also a great time to consider some of the more unusual and dramatic materials and patterns. For inspiration, look online and in magazines for Japanese table settings, where you'll see a wide range of shapes, colors, and textures used regularly. While there are approximate standard sizes for most pieces, they do vary a lot. If you are considering very large plates, be sure to measure the space inside your cabinets and dishwasher: a 12” plate will often not fit into a nominal 12” cabinet, for example. Some people find that large plates encourage overeating, while others find elegance in a plate’s “negative space.” For serving, you’ll want 2-3 dishes, 2 bowls, 1 covered casserole, 1 cake platter or stand, and 1 coffee/tea service. These dishes do not need to match one another, and are a great place to branch out into dramatic shapes, colors, and textures.


Choose your color scheme. Add your base coat. Dark wash the miniature. Apply details. Dry brush the miniature. Protect the model using a spray varnish, dull cote or sealer.

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

This is where a color wheel will come in handy. Choose primary colors that you think match your miniature, and then mix the primary colors in equal proportion to get secondary colors. Choose complementary color pairings - these are colors that lie directly across from each other on the color wheel. Avoid using too many colors.   If you're painting historical miniatures it could be a good idea to look at pictures or history books to get an idea of what that character would look like. If you're painting miniatures from a game, try searching on the internet for your character. This only applies if you want to paint the character as accurately as possible. Feel free to use your imagination. As a general rule of thumb, don't use more than three major colors in your miniature or it will end up looking messy. Once you’ve chosen your color scheme you can add your first coat of paint over your primer. Remember that you won’t be adding details yet. Start with the hardest to reach part of the model part and paint a thin coat with the base color of that part. Continue painting the parts with the correct color from most difficult to to the largest least difficulty part of the miniature.  Apply several thin coats rather than one thick coat. This is a technique done to bring out the shadows. Mix your base coat with brown or black and then dilute it. Now apply a layer of paint to an area filled with detail. This will bring out shadows and make the miniature look much more detailed and interesting. Let dry. Try using oil paint when you go to paint the face and skin areas of your miniature. Oil paint dries slower and blends more smoothly, so you can add more detail. Use a smaller brush to add smaller details like the eyes or fingernails. Try to keep a steady hand and make sure your miniature has had time to dry off after the dark washing. You don't want your details to drip. After your miniature is dried, and if you’re happy with it, you’re ready to dry brush the miniature. Mix the base color with a bit of white and then apply...


Choose your colors.

There are so many different color combinations you can do for fancy makeup. If you are going to a more formal event you may want to stick to browns and greys. If you are going to a fun event you may choose to use a shimmery eyeshadow. If you aren't sure what looks best on you, try out some different shades before your party. It is really your personal preference, but here are some guidelines for eyeshadow colors:  For brown eyes: Because brown is a neutral color, you have a lot of options for your eyeshadow. You can go with coppers, purples, and blues. Really, brown eyes can get away with most colors, but usually darker shades look better. For hazel eyes: Pastels and metallics look best for this eye color because they help make light brown eyes sparkle. Heavy shadows can hide the subtle green and gold in your eyes. For blue eyes: Soft tones like coral and champagne often look best on blue eyes. Very dark, smoky looks can distract from your eye color, so sticking to the lighter shades will draw attention to your eyes without distracting from your eye color. For green eyes: Because your eyes have so much color, you don't have to use much color for your eyeshadow to make your eyes pop. Choose eyeshadows in shimmery browns or even a muted purple. Using a color wheel to find your eye color's opposite is a great way to make sure your eyes stand out. For example, orange is blue's opposite, so eye shadows with orange tones will help blue eyes pop, etc.


Choose your colors. Find decorative ribbons. Pick out personalized embellishments  to decorate your mum.

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

Use your school colors as a guide to help you pick out the colors of the ribbons and flowers  Incorporate neutral colors and lighter shades of your school colors to compliment your two main colors.     High school seniors usually use silver, gold, and white ribbon in their mums to signify their status as seniors.    Most art and crafts stores have a huge selection of decorative ribbon. Pick varied styles that compliment each other like ribbons with ruffles, lacy ribbons, and patterned ribbons. A few ideas would be to use bells, stick-on letters, football-related accessories, charms, tassels, feathers, and glitter. Be creative! Almost any little trinket or decoration you can find will add some flair to your mum.


Choose your cultivar and your rootstock. Cut a scion. Make a T-cut on your rootstock. Introduce the scion. Tie the scion to the rootstock. Remove the tie. Follow up on your bud. Remove other material.

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

In order for your budding to be successful, you must cut a scion (small piece for grafting) from a healthy, disease-free cultivar (origin tree) as well as a suitable growing tree (rootstock). The rootstock in this case is an established tree that the scion can be spliced into. For T-budding, the bark of both trees must be "slipping." This means the bark is easily peeled off and the green layer underneath is moist, which usually occurs in the spring. Try irrigating them well to help them along. T-Budding is typically used for fruit tree propagation. For T-budding, you must cut into the branch 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) below the bud to 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) beyond the bud. Make the cut as deep as needed to include the soft, green layer beneath the bark but not any deeper. This green material must be exposed on your scion for a successful graft. If you must store your scion bud, wrap it in a damp paper towel, place it in a polyethylene bag, and store it in a refrigerator. Choose a space on a branch or sapling that is 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. The space must be free of any buds, ideally far from any buds. Make a vertical slice in the bark about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long and deep enough to expose that green layer. Make a horizontal slice of the same depth that is about one third the distance around the rootstock. Twist the knife in the juncture of the slices to create flaps of the bark, making the green layer visible. Slip the scion containing the bud under the flaps you've just created on the rootstock, taking care not to introduce any dirt or germs. If part of the scion's bark sticks out above the T-cut, slice it off so that everything fits together snugly. Wrap a stretchy rubber material such as grafting rubber around the rootstock to hold the scion in place. Be careful not to jostle or cover the bud. In about a month, the rubber you wrapped around the rootstock may loosen and fall off. If it doesn't, gently remove it yourself so that the area will not be constricted. If the bud looks plump and healthy,...


Choose your cut based on how you will cook it. Know the difference between high-end and low end steak. Understand how fat plays a role in both tenderness and taste.

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

Whether you plan to grill a steak or use a pan, there are some cuts of meat that are better done using the right technique. The amount of time you have will also determine what steak works best. For example, if you want a quick meal you can use a pan for a skirt steak rather than try the same technique for a porterhouse in the same window of time. The tenderness of the steak relates to how much work the muscles must work in its lifetime. So a muscle that does little work, like those in the back close to the spine, will be very tender as opposed to a muscle in the legs. The muscles around the loin, backstop, ribs are the most tender and, therefore, considered high-end. High-end steaks include the ribeye, the strip, the tenderloin, and the t-bone. Marbling is the amount of fat in a steak. Steaks are graded by their tenderness and marbling. The scale ranges from Prime steaks, which have a great deal of marbling in a cow younger than 42 months, Choice steaks, followed by Select steaks, and all the way down to the lowest grade of Canner steaks.  Marbling shows up as the interstitial fat that looks similar to white spiderwebs within your steak. The more of these spiderwebs you see, the more marbling it has. Marbling not only affects the tenderness but also the taste. The more marbling a steak has, the greater its tenderness. However, everyone has their own preference in taste. Some people may find too much marbling too rich in taste.


Choose your destination. Use online tools to help map your route. Plan your route using a paper map. Break down your route into segments.

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

Select a destination across the country that you want to visit. Setting a final destination will give you an idea of the towns and cities that you can visit on the way. Determine how many miles it is to your destination so that you have a better understanding for how long and how expensive the trip will be. You can utilize a variety of map applications online that will help you determine the shortest route to your chosen destination. Some apps, such as Road Trippers and Furkot, will also give you potential stops along the way. If you're looking for a more basic mapping tool, you can use Google Maps. Type in your intended destination and see which roads will lead you there. If you'd rather do things the old-fashioned way, you can purchase a paper map online or at a gas station and map out the trip yourself. Look for major highways and roads that can help connect you to your destination. To stay organized, break your trip into smaller portions so that you can carefully organize exactly where you want to go. Calculate how long each segment will take to drive so that way you can plan on finding lodging and special events along the way.


Choose your dried beans and rinse off 2 1/2 cups in cool water. Cover the beans with at least 2" of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and let the beans cook for 1-2 hours, until tender. Drain or strain out the beans, retaining the water they were cooked in for later. Pick out your fat and heat 5-6 tablespoons of it on medium high heat. While letting beans sit, fry the chopped onions in your oil. Add garlic, along with salt and seasonings, when onions have 1-2 minutes to go. Add the beans fry everything for 2 minutes or so. Add one cup of reserved liquid and use a potato masher to smash the mixture up. Let the mashed mixture simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.

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

Do not soak the beans, as this old technique has since been proven to ruin flavor and texture. Simply rinse them off and move on. The bigger decision, of course, is which beans to use:   Pinto beans are the classic choice. Sweet but savory, with a good size for mashing and a creamy texture, they are the top refried beans.  Black beans are slightly courser, without the sweet notes of pinto beans, which can lead to a somewhat more muted flavor that compliments many flavors well without overpowering.  Navy, cannellini, and white beans can all be used for delicious refried beans, though they won't be "classic" by any stretch. They tend to have a lighter flavor and creamy texture, but are all open for culinary experiments. The water should be at least a few inches above the beans, as they will absorb the liquid as they cook. You should be able to easily pierce each bean with a fork when they are done. These water, which is lightly flavored, will help cook the beans the second time, in your frying pan. Ladle out at least one cup of the bean cooking liquid for later. Use a skillet big enough to fit the beans, melting your frying fat first while the cooked beans sit to the side. The type of fat you use will greatly impact the flavor of your final dish, so choose wisely:   Lard: the "king" of refried bean fats, this is the most common fat used to cook the beans. Pork fat, in particular, is a spectacular choice.  Bacon drippings: the second-most common fat in recipes, as it is readily available and lends a rich, smokey flavor to the beans. Can be mixed or cut with vegetable oil.  Vegetable or Canola oil: these mild oils will allow the flavors of your spices, beans, and onions to shine through. Don't use high-flavor oils like olive or truffle unless you want those flavors in the beans -- which most cooks don't.  Butter: not incredibly common, but still delicious, butter imparts a rich creaminess to the beans that is unconventional, but certainly delicious. Cook them over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until translucent,...


Choose your drinks carefully. Choose simple appetizers. Choose your main course. Choose a simple dessert. Have a backup plan.

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

If you're planning to have a romantic dinner at home, then the first thing you'll do is have a drink to inaugurate the start of your nice home-cooked meal. Wine is the most romantic choice, so if you and yours are wine drinkers, be prepared with a bottle of red or white wine (or more), depending on what you're eating. Red wines tend to go best with steak and other meats, while white wines are better on summer evenings and go well with lighter foods like shrimp or salads. If you're having a more casual meal or just really like beer, then beer is fine, too.  If you plan to drink beer, white wine, or another beverage that should be cold, make sure to put it in the fridge well in advance. You should also prepare some water with lemon in it for a nice touch. Put a pitcher of cold water on the table. You don't want to run to the fridge for water in the middle of the meal. After you pour your drinks, you should be ready with some simple appetizers. You don't want to spend an hour sipping your drinks and standing around waiting for the food to be ready. Though preparing food together -- or some of it -- is part of the fun of having a romantic dinner at home, it won't be much fun if you're both too hungry to feel romantic. Having a few simple appetizers ready, or planning for very simple treats that are easy to assemble, will get your meal off on the right foot. Pick simple finger foods that are fun and easy to eat while you're in the kitchen. Here are some perfect appetizers to try:  Make some bruschetta earlier in the day. All you need is a baguette, garlic, olive oil, onion, tomatoes, and a few other simple ingredients.  If you're feeling fancy, you can make deviled eggs the night before and enjoy them while you wait.  Prepare some home-made guacamole (or buy it) earlier in the day and serve it with a small bowl of tortilla chips. For the summer, make simple salad with four ingredients: watermelon, feta cheese, sunflower seeds, and mint. Hummus with pita chips and fresh veggies is always a big hit. Though cheese...


Choose your dry milk. Reconstitute the dry milk. Mix with whole milk. Chill the milk. Store the remaining powder.

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

"Instant" dry milk is the most common type, and the easiest to mix. "Regular" (or "non-instant") dry milk tends to taste worse. "Whole milk powder" has a richer taste (and may be satisfying enough on its own), but a much shorter shelf life.  In the United States, dry milk labeled "extra grade" has passed certain taste and quality tests.  Whole milk powder can be difficult to find in stores. You may need to order it online. Start by mixing the dry milk with cold water. You can follow the instructions on the package, or use this approach (for one liter / one quart milk):  Mix 315mL (1⅓ cups) instant dry milk into 500mL (2 cups) cold water until dissolved. Add in another 500 mL (2 cups) water and stir until well mixed. Let stand a few minutes and stir again. For regular dry milk, use 175mL (¾ cup) of the powder instead. Dissolve it in a small amount of hot water before adding to the cold water. Mixing nonfat dry milk with an equal amount of whole milk gives you a result roughly equivalent to 2% milk. If you buy dry milk for shelf life reasons, use UHT ("ultra high temperature") milk, which can last unopened for six months at room temperature. If you buy dry milk to save money, use ordinary milk and mix in as much as your budget allows. UHT milk tastes slightly sweeter than regular milk, and not everyone likes the extra flavor. Alone or mixed with real milk, dry milk tastes best cold. If you do not have a refrigerator, wrap the container in a wet towel and put it in a cellar or other cool location. If your milk is lumpy, chill overnight and stir again the next day. Lumpy milk can result from old or poorly stored powder. "Regular" (non-instant) powder tends to form lumps even when fresh. After opening a dry milk package, pour the leftover powder into a glass or metal container (plastic can add an unpleasant odor). Seal tightly and store in a dark, dry location. If you live in a humid climate, add a desiccant pouch.


Choose your equipment. Learn the terminology of the spinning process. Get familiar with the equipment. Select a spinning wheel. Know what to look for in choosing a spinning wheel.

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

You will have to decide if you prefer a drop spindle or a spinning wheel. Both have benefits and drawbacks. Drop spindles are good to use when starting out, but spinning wheels tend to be a faster way to spin.  Using a drop spindle. Creating your own drop spindle is simple and easy. When you've mastered the spindle, you'll have mastered all the different steps for spinning (drawing out the fibers, twisting the fibers into yarn, and winding up and storing spun yarn). The best drop spindle to begin with is the top whorl drop spindle with a hook at the top. This one is sturdy enough to be dropped on the floor as you're getting accustomed to spinning. The spinning wheel is more difficult to master than the drop spindle, because it requires pedals to work the speed of the wheel and has more parts than a drop spindle. However, once you've gotten the hang of spinning on a wheel, you can spin more quickly than with a drop spindle. A spinning wheel works by rotating the bobbin using the drive band. While you treadle, the wheel turns and the flyer and the bobbin rotate. You twist the fibers in your hand and these are wound around the bobbin. You have to change the speed of bobbin in order to get the yarn on the bobbin automatically. Different types of spinning wheels can facilitate the wrapping of the yarn around the bobbin in different ways. There are lots of words that you're not going to be immediately familiar with when you're just starting out. You'll need to learn the words for the different aspects of the spinning process before you can start spinning.  Roving is a continuous rope of fibers that have already been carded and are ready to spin. Carding is when you prepare cleaned but unprocessed wool by hand carding or with a drum carder. A drum carder is a mechanical device, either hand cranked or electric, that cards fibers for spinning. The device you use to hand card is typically a large paddle set with 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) curved metal tines. A niddy-noddy is a double-headed tool used in skeining spun yarn....


Choose your equipment. Make a rope lure. Try bait fish, alternately. Fish your lure in open water.

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

For fishing longnose gar, you’ll want a solid rod with good strength test line. It needn’t be as strong as for alligator gar, but don’t underestimate the longnose. It is still a formidable fish.  Many fishermen will recommend a 6 foot spinning rod with a good quality reel. Use 14 to 30 pound test line. Also consider getting a superbraid, like Fireline or Cabela’s Ripcord. Not only does super braid have very little give – important for setting the hook – but it also is more difficult for the gar to snap with its sharp teeth. According to some fishermen, a lure made from a nylon rope is ideal for longnose gar. It is very hard from them to pull the lure free, nor can they cut the line as their teeth get entangled in the nylon.  Take a 6 inch piece of 3/8th inch soft braided nylon rope. Then, using a lighter, melt one end and unravel the main braids from the other end. Leave about 1.5 inches for the lure head, and tie off the head with some unraveled strands Take this artificial lure and tie onto your main line with a standard half-hitch or slip knot. Other fishermen like to use cut or live bait for longnose gar. It really is up to you. You might use a 4-6 inch minnow, for example, in which case, rig the bait through the eye on a #4 treble hook. Longnose gar prefer open water, so cast and gently retrieve your bait, keeping the rod held high. Watch your bobber for signs that a gar is hitting the bait.  Like an alligator gar, a longnose gar will take off as soon as it gets your bait. Let it go for at least a minute before you try to set the hook. Wait until the fish stops to swallow the bait. Then, set the hook quickly and firmly. Enjoy the fight! Longnose gar as known to be ferocious fighters on the line, but they usually fatigue quickly.


Choose your etching acid. Prepare the acid etchant. Submerge the board in the acid. Make sure to stir every 3-5 minutes. Take the board out and wash it when all unnecessary copper is etched away from the board. Remove the insulating drawing material used.

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

Ferric chloride is a common choice for an etchant. However, you can use Ammonium Persulfate crystals or other chemical solutions. No matter what choice for the chemical etchant, it will always be a dangerous material, so besides following the general safety precautions mentioned in this article, you should also read and follow any additional safety instructions that come with the etchant. Depending on the acid etch that you choose, there might be additional instructions. For example, some crystallized acids require being dissolved in hot water, but other etchants are ready to use.    There are special solvents available for almost all types of insulating drawing material used in drawing PCB layouts. However, if you don't have access to any of these materials, you can always use a sandpaper (a fine one).


Choose your events carefully. Bring a friend. Relax your body. Ask people about themselves. Know when to leave.

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

You’re not obligated to go to every party or night out you get invited to. Be selective about which invitations you accept. By balancing social activities with solitary time, you’ll enjoy socializing more and avoid burning yourself out. You can politely turn down an invitation by saying, “Thanks for asking me, but I’ve already got plans for that night.” If you’re nervous or just need some moral support, ask a friend to accompany you to an event. Your friend can help you break the ice with strangers and avoid that awkward feeling of not knowing anybody in the room. It’s hard to feel anxious when your muscles are relaxed. If social situations make you nervous, learn some techniques for letting go of tension. You’ll feel more at ease when you’re relaxed, and other people will subconsciously feel more at ease around you, too.  Deep breathing exercises are a simple and effective way to calm down when you’re feeling tense. Another way to relieve tension in a social situation might be repeating a mantra in your head. Try something like "I am the picture of calm" or "I can successfully navigate social situations." In addition, avoid closed-off body language that drives people away like crossing your arms or orienting your body away from the speaker. This sends the message that you want to leave. Instead leave your arms at your sides, make occasional eye contact, and turn towards the person you're speaking to. When you meet someone new, take some of the conversational pressure off yourself by shifting the focus to them. Ask questions about their work, family, or hobbies. Most people love to talk about themselves, and they’ll feel flattered that you want to know more about them.  Ask open-ended questions that require more than a yes or no answer. For example, you could ask a new acquaintance, “What was your favorite part of your trip to New Zealand?” or “Why did you decide to move here?” There’s no rule that says you have to stay until the end of an event. Know your limits and don’t wear yourself out. It’s fine to...


Choose your eye shadow colors. Consider shading in your eyebrows.

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

You will need three different shades: a medium shade for the lid, a dark shade for the crease, and a light shade for the base and highlight. Try to choose colors from the same color family, such as all blues or all browns. Also, keep in mind that different colors may enhance different eye colors. Here are some suggestions:  For the best blending, eye shadow should have four different shades: The lightest (a shade close to white) on the inner corner and just under your browbone, the second lightest over the lid, next darkest on the crease, and darkest on the outer corner blended in. If you have blue eyes, you can wear similar shades, such as dark blue, grey, and silver. You can also wear contrasting shades, such as bronze, brown, copper, and taupe. If you have brown eyes... you can wear similar shades, such as bronze, brown, and taupe. You can also wear contrasting shades, such as blue, green, grey, and purple. If you have green eyes, you can wear similar shades, such as green, and forest green. You can also wear contrasting shades, such as gold, pink, taupe, and purple. If you have grey eyes you can wear similar shades, such as blue, charcoal, and silver. You can also wear contrasting shades, such as brown, gold, green, and purple. If you have hazel eyes, you can use greens and golds to bring out the greens and golds in your own eyes. You can also use contrasting colors, such as plum, reddish-brown, and wine. Unless you have very thick eyebrows, you might want to fill them in. You can use eyebrow pencil or eye shadow. Follow the natural curve of you eyebrow, making the color softer and lighter the closer it gets to your nose. In general, you want to use a color that is two to three shades lighter than your hair color, unless you have blonde hair. Then, go 2-3 shades darker. Here are some more tips:  If you have blond or light colored hair, use a light brown or medium brown. For brown hair or medium-colored hair, use a medium or dark brown. If you have black hair, use a very dark brown. Never use black, as it...


Choose your eyebrow shape based on your face shape.

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

Eyebrows are not “one style fits all.” People with square faces should go for rounded brows, while people with rounded faces should opt for angular brows. Long faces look best with extended brows, heart-shaped faces are best complemented by well-groomed (but not thin!) brows, and oval faces look best with classic, balanced brows.


Choose your eyeliner. Try a cat-eye look. Apply black mascara.

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

You can use liquid, pencil, or gel eyeliners--whichever you are most comfortable with. Pencil eyeliners are easiest to master, but liquid or gel eyeliners can create a more intense goth look. Black eyeliner is a great base for any goth look, but you can use purple, blue, or even glitter eyeliner and still rock an amazing goth eye makeup look. Liquid eyeliner is best for a cat-eye. To start, lower your eyelids and draw a short line starting at the corner of your eye. Move the line upwards towards the end of your brow and stop about a centimeter away from the corner of your eye. Then, draw a line from the top of your first line back down to your eyelid--it should look like a triangle. Fill the triangle in and line the rest of your eye to finish the look! Put black mascara on both your upper and lower lashes. Use an eyelash comb to gently remove any clumps. Layering the mascara will create a more dramatic effect. You can also try false eyelashes, but this is optional.


Choose your fabric and ball chain.

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

Patterned, cotton fabric with a floral print works well for a boho-chic look. For an edgier look, try a colored cording and leather instead. Ball chains come in both silver and gold, so pick the one that goes the best with your color scheme. You can find ball chains in the beading section of an arts and crafts store. You can also use an old ball chain necklace instead.


Choose your fabric and house colors. Cut your fabric into strips. Pin the strips together. Sew the strips together using a ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter) seam allowance. Press the seams open. Fold the scarf in half lengthwise. Sew along the scarf's edge, excluding the first and last stripe. Cut a fringe into the first and last stripes. Turn the scarf inside out. Sew across the ends of the scarf, right above the fringes.

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

The best fabric to use for this method is fleece because it is warm and does not fray. Flannel will also work. Avoid using fabric that frays.  Gryffindor: Red & Gold Hufflepuff: Yellow & Black Ravenclaw: Blue & Bronze (books) or Blue & Silver (films) Slytherin: Green and Silver The strips need to be 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) wide and 9 inches (22.86 centimeters) long. You will need 9 to 10 strips of each color. Pin the strips with the right sides facing together, the long edges touching. When you are done, you should have a long strip that is 9 inches (22.86 centimeters) wide and about 60 inches (152.4 centimeters) long. Use a thread and bobbin color that matches one of your colors. Pull out the pins as you sew. Use an iron to go over each of the seams you just made, and press them open. This will help reduce bulk for your scarf. Make sure that the wrong sides are sticking out and the right sides are sticking on. Pin the scarf along the edges, if necessary. Use a ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter) seam allowance. Start sewing at the bottom of the second stripe, and stop sewing at the top of the second to last stripe. Do not sew across the narrow ends of the scarf.  Backstitch at the start and end of your sewing to keep the stitching from coming undone. Trim off the tail ends of the thread. Cut some slits into the first and last stripes, ½-inch (1.27-centimeters) apart. Try to cut through both layers of fabric. When you reach the folded edge, simply cut it apart. Make sure that you get all of the fringes out as well. For a neater finish, press the scarf flat with an iron. Focus on the side edges. Sew across the top of the first stripe, and the bottom of the last stripe. Use a thread and bobbin color that matches the fabric.


Choose your fabric. Cut two 8-inch (20.32-centimeter) circles. Cut the body pieces. Cut the brim pieces. Consider cutting some fusible interfacing.

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

You will need two different colors, one of the outside of the hat and one for the inside. Consider using cotton for one side and canvas or denim for the other. You will need to cut one circle out of each fabric.  This will be the top of the hat. You will be using ½-inch (1.27-centimeter) seam allowances. If you have a very small head, you might want to cut a smaller circle. If you have a bigger head, you'll need to cut a bigger circle. You will need two 12 by 3-inch (30.48 by 7.62-centimeter) rectangles for each fabric. You should have four rectangles total.  If you want a taller hat, make the rectangles 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) wide instead. If you cut a bigger/smaller circle, then cut each rectangle so that it measures half of the circumference. You will need four identical pieces total, two from each fabric. The pieces need to be 3½ inches (8.89 centimeters) wide. They need to be 12 inches (30.48 centimeters) long along the inner curve and 18 inches (45.72 centimeters) long around the outer curve.  If you want a wider brim, cut the arches 4½ inches (11.43 centimeters) wide instead. If you cut a bigger/smaller circle, match the inner curve of the brim to the length of your adjusted rectangle. If your fabric is thin, you might want to add interfacing. Cut the interfacing ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) smaller than your pieces, then iron them to the wrong side of the fabric. You only need to do this for the inner or the outer fabric pieces, not both.


Choose your fabric. Insert the rings. Distribute the fabric. Check the length of your sling.

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

You can use the same type of fabric that you would use for the sewn version, or you can recycle a fabric item that you already have, as long as it is a strong enough fabric. Pashmina scarves work nicely, although they may not be long enough for everyone. You will need two rings for this sling, just as you do for the sewn version. To attach them, simply thread your fabric through both of the rings. Then, with the rings about twelve inches from one end of the fabric, thread the fabric back over the first ring and under the second. If you are using very thin fabric and/or large rings, you can wrap the fabric through the rings this same way a second time for added strength. If you find that your fabric is bunched up after being threaded through the rings, gently pull it apart so that it is more evenly distributed around the rings. Your sling will not be as comfortable or as sturdy if your fabric is bunched. When you are finished, the longer end of the fabric should be long enough to wrap around your body and fasten in the rings securely. The shorter end of your fabric should be at least 10-12 inches long.


Choose your fabric. Trace the arms of your sweatshirt to get the arm pieces.

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

Not all types of material will work for making a hoodie, so it is important to choose your fabric carefully. You can go with a heavy or lightweight fabric depending on how warm you want the hoodie to be.  For example, you could go with fleece or a thick stretch cotton (sweatshirt material) for a warmer option. Or, you could go with a jersey or t-shirt material for a lightweight hoodie. Make sure to buy more material than you think you will need. Two yards will likely suffice for an adult sized hoodie. Unfold one of the arms of your sweatshirt. Then, line up the top part of your sleeve with the folded edge of the fabric and the armpit area of the sleeve with the other edge of your fabric. Use your chalk to trace about 1” (2.5 cm) from the bottom of the sleeve and the wrist area to provide adequate seam allowance. Then, cut along the chalk lines.  Make sure that you do not cut along the folded edge. Leave this intact. Repeat this process again to create the other sleeve piece.


Choose your fabric. Wash the fabric. Select a pattern. Make a faux-pattern. Take your measurements.

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

Any fabric can be used for a dress, although if it is your first time try working with an easy natural or cotton blend. Look for pretty fabrics that meet your color, pattern, and texture needs. Using silky or heavy fabrics are difficult to sew without a bit of practice. Additionally, choose a fabric that is thick enough that it won’t require two layers or a slip. You will need between 2–3 yards (1.8–2.7 m) of fabric total depending on your size and the length of the dress.  Try using a large over sized t-shirt as the base for your dress. These can be found in thrift stores or even in the back of your own closet. Get creative with your fabric choice and try using a sheet or curtain as the fabric for your dress. You can thrift for pretty vintage versions of these fabrics if you don’t have any at home you’re willing to cut up. To remove any wrinkles or stains and to preshrink fabric before sewing it's important to wash your fabric. After washing and drying, use an iron to smooth it out and prepare it for sewing. Dresses are one of the more complicated projects to start with, and are easiest when made using a dress pattern. Patterns are the specific measurements and shapes the different parts of your dress will need to be cut in. These are available for free or for a small price online or in fabric/craft stores. Choose a pattern that is the style and shape you would like, in the correct size for your body type. If you don’t want to use a dress pattern to make your dress, you can create a mock pattern by using a dress you already own. Find a dress you like and that fits you well, and use the outline of this to create your pattern. Your final dress will be in the same style of the dress you used to trace. If you are using a dress pattern, follow the guide to take your measurements with a soft tape measure. To create a dress using another dress as the pattern, fold it in half lengthwise. Place it over your fabric (also folded lengthwise) and trace around the outside. You can change the total length of your dress...


Choose your fabric. Wash, dry, and iron your fabric. Cut your fabric. Fold the long edges of the patterned fabric in by ¼ inch (0.64 centimeter), then press them flat with an iron. Pin the patterned fabric, right-side-up, on top of the absorbent fabric. Sew the long edges of the patterned fabric down, as close to the edge as you can. Cut a 60-inch (152.4-centimeter) long piece of 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) wide ribbon. Fold the end of the ribbon under by ½-inch (0.27 centimeters), then wrap it around the edges of the burp cloth. Topstitch the ribbon down.

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

Pick some absorbent fabric for the body of the burp cloth, such as terry, minky, or flannel. Next, pick some patterned cotton fabric for the center strip. It can be baby or nursery-themed, or just something you find pretty. Avoid using dryer sheets when drying your fabric, as they may make your fabric less-absorbent. Don't cut your fabric first; it may end up shrinking by quite a bit! Cut the absorbent fabric into a 12 by 16-inch (30.48 by 40.64-centimeter) rectangle. Cut the patterned fabric into a 5 by 16-inch (12.7 by 40.64-centimeter) strip. Set the absorbent fabric aside for now. Turn the fabric so that the wrong side is facing you. Fold the long edges down by ¼ inch (0.64 centimeters), and secure them with sewing pins. Press the edges flat with an iron, then remove the sewing pins. Make sure that the patterned fabric is centered, and that the narrow edges are aligned with the narrow edges of the absorbent fabric. Once you are happy with the placement, pin the fabric in place. Use a thread color that matches your patterned fabric, and a bobbin color that matches your absorbent fabric. Pull the pins put as you go. This will longer than you actually need to wrap around the edges of your burp cloth, but it's better to have something be too long than too short. Remember, it is always easier to cut down something that is too long than to add length to something that is too short! You can also use ½-inch (0.27-centimeter) double-fold bias tape instead. Wrap the sides of the ribbon tape over the edges of the burp cloth, so that it looks the same on both sides. Pin the ribbon in place as you go. If you are using bias tape: Open up the bias tape first, then fold the end under by ½ inch (0.27 centimeters). After that, wrap it around the burp cloth, tucking the edges of the cloth into the fold of the bias tape. Try to get as close to the inner edge as you can, and remove the pins as you go. To prevent the thread from unraveling, backstitch a few times at the start and end of your sewing.


Choose your fat. Keep it cool. Decide whether or not to pre-bake the crust.

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

Your basic options include butter, shortening, lard, and a mixture of different fats.  Butter pie crusts have a rich flavor, but butter is brittle when cold and softens quickly, so it can be hard to work with. Shortening and lard make flakier crusts but tend to have a little less flavor. Combine shortening with butter in equal amounts to combine the best of both worlds. You need to keep the pie crust cool throughout the entire process. If not, the butter, lard, or shortening could liquify and get absorbed by the flour instead of coating the flour, resulting in a tougher crust.  Keep the fat chilled before you make the dough. Chill the dough for several hours after working with it. If you are preparing a baked pie, you do not usually need to pre-bake the crust. You will want to pre-bake a crust if you plan on pouring a no-bake filling into it, though.  Pierce the bottom of the crust with a fork in several places, preventing air pockets. Line the crust with aluminum foil and place pie weights or dried beans inside. Bake in a 400 degree Fahrenheit (200 degree Celsius) oven for 25 to 27 minutes, or until the entire crust turns golden brown.


Choose your favorite cookie. Eat your cookie. Wash it down with a beverage. Dunk your cookie. Peel apart sandwich cookies.

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

There are thousands of kinds of cookies throughout the world, and everyone has a different idea about what makes a perfect cookie. Some people prefer them chewy while others like them crunchy. Others still like chunky, versus those who prefer soft and smooth. There are also different styles and flavors, and it’s up to you to find your favorite! If you have food allergies, watch out for cookies that contain common allergens, such as soy, egg, nuts, dairy products, or anything else that might cause a reaction. Although there are lots of special ways to eat a cookie, you can also simply eat the cookie. Cookies can be picked up with your hands. Some cookies are bite-sized and meant to be eaten in one bite, but for most cookies, take small bites. Always chew your food thoroughly. To prevent choking and to help your body digest food more easily, you should chew soft foods about 10 times and hard foods up to 30 times before swallowing. Cookies are often served with a hot or cold beverage, such as tea, milk, hot chocolate, or coffee. To wash your cookie down with a beverage, finish chewing and swallowing your bite of cookie, then take a sip of your beverage. Your beverage can also be used for dunking, which should be reserved for informal settings like at home or at a friend’s house Try not to dunk cookies in a formal setting, like at a dinner party or a fine-dining restaurant. To dunk a cookie:  Hold the cookie by one end and dip the other end into a glass of milk, tea, or the like. Hold the cookie in the liquid for a few seconds: long enough for it to absorb some of the liquid, but not so long that the cookie begins to break apart. Put the wetted cookie portion into your mouth and bite it off. You can now eat the rest of the cookie normally, or continue dunking. When you no longer have enough cookie left, avoid dunking your fingers into your beverage to soak your cookie. Instead, eat the remainder of the cookie and wash it down with your beverage. You’ll likely find some tasty cookie bits at the bottom! Cookie...


Choose your favorite format. Vary your diary entries. Experiment with pens and pencils. Try setting up an online diary.

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

Do you want to write in an elegant handwritten journal? Or would you rather create a daily blog? There are benefits to both. A handwritten diary can be easily carried in your purse, backpack, or even in a pocket. An online blog is more interactive, and you can include links to other sites, photos, respond to comments, etc.  Try different formats until you know what you prefer. Personalize your diary to express your personality, using stickers, drawings, photographs, widgets, or anything else that you might want to include. You might sometimes write long entries, and other times just a quote that caught your attention. Include mementos of your day, such as flowers pressed between the pages of your diary, or a special card or paper wrapper. You might want to add a photo of something you saw that day, which may be accompanied by a story...or, it might not.  Try cartooning a diary entry. Particularly if you’ve never drawn before, this can be a fun thing to try to make your diary interesting. Write a daily entry in haiku, or another kind of poem for variety. If you write your diary by hand, try writing with a variety of pens or pencils. Writing in colored ink may change the things that you think to write about, or you might try color-coding your thoughts. Writing with a calligraphy pen or a fine fountain pen might lead to new ideas.  If you write with a pencil, you can easily include sketches in your diary. Colored pencils can also lend themselves to new and interesting ideas. Try writing with gel pens, ballpoint pens, felt-tipped pens, fine-tipped or thicker tipped pens. If you've never tried creating a diary online, explore some of the free options such as Penzu, Dear Diary, My Diary or Diary.com. Popular blogging programs, like WordPress, Live Journal, and Blogger, can also be set on "private" settings and used as a diary.  Digital diaries have many possibilities for personalization, and allow you to be very creative with content. For example, you could include audio clips, or video options. Consider adding...


Choose your favorite material. Check the fit of the shoe. Get the best shoes for your budget. Decide on the right lace placement.

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

Soccer cleats can be made from a variety of different fabrics.  High quality kangaroo leather cleats will mold to your feet after playing in them for a while and they are very durable.  However, they are a bit heavier than shoes made from synthetic materials.  On the other hand, shoes made using mesh are usually very light weight, but they’re not good for playing in wet conditions as they can allow water to seep into your socks.  Try on shoes made from a few different materials before deciding which one you like.  Cleats made from calf or goat leather are less expensive than ones made from kangaroo leather and can give you a similar feel. Some companies are developing synthetic leather strains in response to animal activists.  The benefit of artificial leather is that different qualities, like water resistance, can be added to the material. You want your shoes to feel snug, but not too tight.  There should be about the width of a baby’s finger between your toe and the front of your shoe.  If you can feel your toes scraping against the front of the shoe, then they’re too small.  If you can fit your entire thumb between your toes and the front, then the shoes are too big.  If you have wide feet, you might have to do some searching for shoes that fit you comfortably.  Different brands make shoes for different foot widths.  For example: Nike designs very thin shoes while Adidas makes shoes that are a little wider. Wearing shoes that don’t fit you properly can be very painful in a soccer match and can give you blisters on your feet.  Long term, they can even cause bunions to form. If you plan on playing soccer competitively, you should purchase shoes that are either top-tier or mid-tier as far as quality.  The top-tier cleats are the ones that the pros wear.  They’re designed to accommodate peak performance play.  However, they’re not built to last as professional soccer players often get new shoes every few matches.  Mid-tier shoes are cheaper, more durable and often offer performance that is close to that of...


Choose your felt.

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

For this pattern, you will be making multiple small felt flowers and attaching them in a bunch to a felt base, similar to the appearance of lilacs in real life. For a traditional lilac look, use cream fuschia, or lavender colored felt with matching thread.


Choose your fillet. Cut it up into smaller portions. Season or marinate the fish. Place it skin-side down and diagonally on the grill. Flip the fish. Cover, cook, and check for doneness.

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

When choosing a fish for grilling, you first want to consider how hearty it is -— how well can it stand up to the torture of a live fire. Flaky or delicate fish like flounder or sole won't cut it here. You want thicker fillets or steaks of more sturdy contenders such as:  Halibut Tuna Swordfish Haddock Salmon Mahi-mahi Grouper If you do opt for a delicate fish, you'll be better of with putting it in aluminum foil or using a grilling basket -- or else you risk your meat falling through the grill to the flames. Of course, there's always the option of taking a whole fish and filleting it yourself. Not only will it be easier to manage on the grill but you can ensure the fish cooks up evenly -- the skinnier tail end doesn't need to cook as long as the thicker part of the fillet. Cut your fish into portions that have an even thickness to ensure you don't have dry parts and/or undercooked parts all on one portion. If you have a marinade you've been dying to try, go for it. Just make sure to keep the fish in the marinade for no longer than 30 minutes -- both salty or sugary marinades have a negative effect on taste if left on too long. However, all fish really needs is a coating of olive or coconut oil and some salt and pepper. The art is in the grilling -- just make sure you lather up both sides evenly. This not only creates those masterful grill marks you see in restaurants, it actually makes it easier to flip the fish because it's on an angle. The general rule is a fish will take 8 minutes to cook through per inch of thickness, which means about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the grill, and let cook! Don't try to move the fish until you see that the skin side has a nice sear and looks crisp -- if you do, you risk it falling apart. If you're not sure when to check the fish to see this, try gently lifting with a fine-edged spatula after a few minutes. If it doesn't lift off the grate easily, let it cook a bit longer and check at 20-second intervals until it does. Okay, so the fish is...


Choose your filling and mix it together in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, covering only one half of the tortilla. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Serve the quesadilla.

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

You can use any combination of vegetables, meats, or grains, so long as you end up with ½ cup (120 grams). If you are using meat or vegetables, make sure that they are cooked. Here are some suggestions to get you started:  For meat, try thinly-sliced steak, pulled pork, or shredded chicken breast. For vegetables, try sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, or corn. For beans, try black beans or pinto beans. You will be folding the tortilla in half later. Avoid putting too many fillings in, or your tortilla will be too bulky and tear. If there is any excess grease on the tortilla, you can wipe it off using a paper towel. You can add toppings, such as salsa or sour cream.


Choose your fire. Perform a "false light. Keep charring and puffing. Relight the pipe, if necessary.

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

Use a wooden match or pipe lighter. Pipe lighters are made specifically for tobacco pipes, and should not alter the taste of the tobacco. If using a match, strike it and let it burn for a few seconds to get the sulfur off.  Be wary of lighters that are not specifically designed for tobacco pipes. Some pipe enthusiasts claim that the butane from the lighter subtly impacts the flavor of the tobacco itself. Strike a wooden match against the emery strip along the package. Allow the sulfur to burn off the tip before applying it to the pipe. A wooden match will not impart a taste of lighter fluid. " Char the top of the tobacco, but do not light it completely yet. Hold the flame just above the tobacco at a skimming distance. Draw your breath in using a half a dozen steady puffs. Move the flame in a circle to reach all of the tobacco.  This "charring light" aims to burn the tobacco slightly, but not to light it completely. Don’t breathe the smoke into your lungs. Puff steadily and slowly to avoid a sharp “tongue bite.” Pipe tobacco is generally stronger and more flavorful than the tobacco used in cigarettes. Once the pipe is evenly lit, this is the “true light.” You are now ready to settle into the smoking session. Keep puffing periodically to make sure that the pipe stays lit. The bowl should stay lit for at least 5-15 minutes once it is properly burning. Keep air flowing through the tobacco. If you don't want to inhale so often, try exhaling gently into the pipe. The air should stoke the pipe fire from within and send a thin wisp of smoke trailing up out of the bowl. You may need to relight your pipe several times over the course of the smoking session. Use the same steady, circular motion with your match. Tamp the tobacco down lightly to remove the charred top when the light goes out. The removal of ash from tamping will allow the pipe to burn more evenly.


Choose your flour. Choose your oil. Sift the flour and the salt. Add the ghee (or oil) to the flour. Add the water to the flour. Knead the dough. Let the dough rest.

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

Traditional roti recipes call for chapati (sometimes spelled “chapatti”) flour, which is also known as durum wheat atta. Some recipes just list “atta” in the ingredients list; they are typically referring to chapati flour (indeed, the terms “roti” and “chapati” are sometimes used interchangeably—they are both unleavened wheat flatbreads).  Atta/chapati flour is a finely ground whole wheat flour.It's the traditional choice for making roti. If you can't find chapati flour or don't have it on hand, you can substitute whole wheat flour. Because it is a heavier flour, though, you should consider using a mixture of half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour to more closely approximate the texture of chapati flour. You may even use only all-purpose flour in the recipe if that's all you have available. If you go this route, though, you may need to use less water. Be sure to pay attention to the consistency and texture of the dough as you mix; we'll explain more about this in the following steps. Additionally, if you use only all-purpose flour, your roti won't have as chewy and nutty of a flavor as traditional roti. You'll need to have a small amount of oil on hand to brush the finished rotis with, and optionally, a bit to add to the dough. You can use any cooking oil: olive oil, vegetable oil, melted butter or ghee, but ghee is recommended. Ghee is a clarified butter which has been simmered until all of the moisture has evaporated and the milk solids have begun to brown. Ghee has a nutty, carmel-like flavor and color. Ghee has a very high smoke point (almost 375°) and is thus well-suited for frying. It's readily available at Middle-Eastern and Indian markets and specialty food shops, or you can make your own ghee at home. Place the flour in a large mixing bowl, your mixer, or the bowl of your food processor (fitted with a dough blade). Add the salt, and mix thoroughly. Not all roti recipes call for adding oil to the dough, but doing so can add a bit of flavor to this otherwise simple bread and can also soften...


Choose your flowers. Choose your desiccant. Choose a container. Wait until dry.

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

This is the best way to dry large, delicate flowers such as lilies, as long as the flower doesn't drop its petals too easily. Ideally, pick the flowers when they're about half open, and dry immediately. A desiccant is an extra-absorbent material, that will slowly pull out water from your flowers. Whichever desiccant you choose must be completely dry to be effective. Here are the most common options:  Silica gel: the fastest option, available at garden supply stores. Although more expensive, it can be reused many times (see Tips below). Borax and white cornmeal: a cheap and lightweight option. Mix in equal quantities, or with as little as 1 part borax to 6 parts cornmeal — it shouldn't make much difference.  Fine sand: this just supports the shape of the flower, allowing the air to dry it. The slowest option, but sometimes the cheapest. If you have plenty of material, pick a container that can fit the entire upright stem. Most people save on materials and just cut off the flower stem, leaving a blossom that can fit in a shallow container. Different materials require slightly different setups:  For silica gel, use a container that can be sealed airtight. A coffee can is a good option for a single flower. For borax or sand, use an open container. A strong cardboard box is ideal, but check the base for holes first. Store the container in a warm, dry location. If using an open container, keep it in a room with good air flow. Check after a few days, using a toothpick to probe the petals and test for dryness.  Silica gel is the fastest means of drying flowers; most take only 2-4 days to dry completely, while thick flowers can take up to a week. When silica gel turns pink, it's absorbed as much moisture as it can. Borax mixtures can take 5–14 days to dry the flowers. Sand takes longest of all, usually about 14–21 days.


Choose your flowers. Prepare the flowers for pressing. Press the flowers. Clean and shape your nails. Consider applying petroleum jelly to your cuticle area.

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

Pick some colorful wild flowers in lots of bright colors—the darker, the better. If you plan on having a non-white background on your manicure, you can get some white flowers as well. The flowers should be small enough to fit on your nail.  You can buy dried flowers from the store instead. You can also buy pressed flower nail kits from the store. Rinse the flowers, if needed, then pat them dry. Carefully snip the blooms off of the stems. You won't have to do this if you bought the flowers with a nail kit, but you will need to trim down store-bought flowers. Spread the flowers out on a sheet of wax paper. Cover them with another sheet of wax paper, then place a heavy book or two on top. Leave them alone for about a week and a half. If you bought dried flowers or pressed flower kits, you do not need to press them since they are already flat and dried. Wipe away any old nail polish with nail polish remover. Trim and file your nails down to a shape that you like, then push back your cuticles. Wipe down your nails with rubbing alcohol. You don't have to do this, but it will make cleaning up your manicure easier in the end. You can also use liquid latex or white school glue instead. If you decide to use one of those, let them dry first before moving on.


Choose your garden foundation. Till the soil. Test the pH of the soil. Fertilize the soil. Water the soil thoroughly.

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

Decide whether you want to plant your vegetable garden directly in the ground or build a planter box to raise your vegetables a few feet above the ground. Alternately, you may want to plant different vegetable varieties each in their own pot. Your decision should depend on the quality of your soil and the tendency of your planting area to flood. If you have poor soil quality and poor drainage, you probably want to build a raised vegetable garden bed.  Think about how big you want your planting bed to be. Depending on the type of vegetables you plant, you'll need to make sure that the box is wide and deep enough. Conduct a bit of research on the types of vegetables you are planting to see how much space they need to grow. Broccoli, for example, utilizes a wide area to grow, while carrots simply need space to grow down. To build a raised planting bed, you can use lumber, plastic, synthetic wood, bricks, or rocks. However, cedar planks are generally recommended because they do not rot when exposed to water. Keep in mind that your vegetable plants will have to be watered regularly, and some weak woods like simple plywood may not last very long when constantly drenched.     Round the top of your planting bed to achieve the maximum surface area for planting. This means that the tops are rounded to form an arc rather than a flat surface. Lay a barrier between the bed and the ground in order to prevent weeds from growing. You can use gardening plastic, a mat of some sort, or several layers of newspaper and/or cardboard to reduce the chance that weeds will grow. Most vegetables require a rich, fertile, fluffy soil to grow well. Use a quality garden hoe and/or a shovel to intensely break up the soil and prepare it for planting. You can avoid this labor altogether if you choose to build a raised vegetable garden box and fill it with pre-mixed, store-bought soil.  Make sure your planting area is free of any rocks or clumps of thick soil to allow the roots to expand and your seedlings to grow into healthy, productive...


Choose your green location. Evaluate your soil. Perform a soil test to check for clay. Appraise your surface drainage. Research grass seed by region.

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

You'll want your green to be located in an open area in your backyard that gets plenty of sunlight. Your future green should receive plenty of airflow, without any blockage of wind from buildings, bushes, or trees. Low spots in your backyard or areas that drain poorly should also be avoided, but after you've found the ideal place for your green, you should:  Imagine the overall dimensions for your green. After you have a feel for the features of your soon-to-be putting green, take a piece of paper and sketch out the general design, including desired measurements. Then, measure and stake out your planned putting green area. Keep in mind, the larger your green, the more effort it will take to maintain and the greater the cost of its installation. For the turf of your green to flourish, its roots will need the right kind of soil. Most soils are suitable for the roots of your grass, though the ideal soil composition will be sandy loam soil. If your soil has a high concentration of clay, your turf will suffer greatly, and may not be able to grow well enough for you to putt. A percolation test can give you a good idea of the whether your soil composition is good enough for the roots of your grass and is relatively easy to perform. You will need to dig a hole 2' deep with the width of about a foot. Now, fill your hole with water and allow it to drain over the course of a day. Then, note the time, and fill the hole with water again.  Holes that drain in less than 12 hours have a rate of percolation that will support plants the require well-drained soil, which includes your putting green grass. Holes that drain in 12 - 24 hours are suited for plants that live in heavy or clay soil. Holes that drain in over 24 hours are unsuitable for most plants. The contours of your green-to-be should allow water to drain quickly and easily, otherwise your green could fail. Low areas where water can collect will also bad for your green. Try to provide multiple drainage routes to keep the grass from becoming waterlogged. You can...


Choose your heel height according to your fashion style, if you can't decide which ones to get. Choose booties that suit your lifestyle. Add some sole or heel inserts to make your booties fit better and less painful to wear. Buy booties that go with the season. Start with neutral colored booties so that you can create more outfits. Wear patterned booties to make a statement.

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

Booties come in all sorts of shapes and styles. Certain heel heights, however, are associated with certain styles. For example, heeled booties are often seen as being more chick fashionable, while flat ones are seen as being more casual and down to earth.  Booties with a flat heel are best for a hipster or boho look, especially if they are made from brown leather. Booties with high heels will create an instant chic style, and are perfect for fashionistas. Cowboy booties are very popular, and they can be worn to create a country or stylish vibe. Low heels and wedges are versatile and exceptional for the urban casual style. Choose flat booties with no heel if you will be on your feet all day. Consider wearing heel booties if you won't be on your feet all day. You can get away with wearing them to school, but make sure that you can get to and from your classes in them quickly and easily. Both will fill your bootie out more, and keep it from sliding around on your foot. A good sole insert can also cushion your foot and provide arch support. A gel heel insert/grip will help keep your bootie in place, and prevent painful blisters. Depending on the season and weather, different booties will suit your outfit and lifestyle better than others. Keep in mind that the weather for each season will vary depending on where you live. For some people, fall can be rainy and cold, while for others it can be hot and dry.  Choose waterproof booties for the spring. Stay away from the canvas ones, and opt for booties make from fake leather instead of real leather; they'll keep your feet dry and won't get ruined by the rain. Try some open-toed booties for the summer. If you want to wear winter-styled booties, choose ones without a thick lining so that your feet don't sweat as much. Booties made from fabric are perfect for the summer. Choose booties appropriate for the weather during the fall. If it is rainy where you live, choose waterproof materials, such as fake leather. If it is warm and dry, stick with regular leather or canvas....


Choose your henna shade. Be aware of what henna cannot do.

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

Henna is an all-natural hair dye with none of the harsh chemicals that commercial dyes have. Since henna is natural, there isn’t a vast shade selection to choose from. Essentially, henna makes it possible to achieve various shades of red through very dark brown to black. Each brand’s line is different, but generally there is a dark brown option, an auburn option, a chestnut brown option and a near-black option.  Brunettes and dark blondes will get the best results from henna. Do not use henna on your hair if you’ve used commercial hair dye in the last two months. Unfortunately, henna cannot lighten your hair or lift color. It can only add pigment. For instance, you can’t use henna to go from brunette to blonde. Henna also can’t even out your current hair color. If you currently have roots or two-toned highlights, these will still be visible after you color your hair with henna. The henna will alter the color of these lighter sections, but overall the darkest hair will still be darker than the highlights.


Choose your herb base. Select your secondary herbs. Choose flavoring herbs and spices. Choose your rolling papers. Choose your filter.

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

Herbal cigarettes are often blends made up of base herbs, secondary herbs, and flavoring herbs. Always choose or pick pesticide-free herbs when possible. Your base herbs should account for 50 percent of the total herb blend. For base herbs, try full-bodied, smooth herbs like:  Damiana Mullein, an herb that’s good for breathing problems and asthma Raspberry Leaf Coltsfoot, which is an expectorant (something that helps you get rid of mucus) but it also is now known to cause liver damage. These will make up about 33 percent of your overall herb blend. There are many herbs you can choose from, and it’s best to play around with the quantities and herbs until you find a recipe that you like. Consider keeping a journal so that when you make a new blend, you can keep track of the ingredients, quantities, and how it turned out. Secondary herbs can include:  Blue lotus Skullcap California poppy, catnip, and chamomile Passionflower Uva Ursi Hops Thyme Lobelia (be warned that this can induce vomiting) Marigold, Marshmallow, Marjoram, and Mugwort Wild dagga and wild lettuce The herbs that go into this component of your cigarette blend tend to be more potent and flavorful, so they only account for about 17 percent of the blend. Popular flavoring herbs and spices for herbal cigarettes include:  Peppermint and spearmint Sage and thyme Lavender Clove Licorice Root Stevia Rose petals  Jasmine Ginseng  Tea leaves Look for papers that are raw or as natural as possible: any chemicals or additives in the paper will be burned and inhaled into your lungs. Especially avoid papers that have been bleached or have ink on them. Aside from regular paper, you can also find smoking papers made of flax, rice, and hemp. If you find hand rolling cigarettes difficult, consider a cigarette roller that helps you shape and pack the herbs. You can use this in conjunction with pre-rolled cigarette tubes, which come in many varieties, including filtered, without filters, and even mentholated. Not everybody uses filters for their cigarettes, but there...


Choose your hooks.

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

There are several brands that make hooks that are designed to be inserted into drywall without hammers, nails, or any other tools. These include Hercules Hooks, Super Hooks, Monkey Hooks, and Gorilla Hooks. They are made of different materials and rated to hold varying weights, but each one does require making a small hole in the wall. According to the manufacturers:  A Hercules Hook can hold as much as 150 pounds (68 kg). A Super Hook can hold up to 80 pounds (36.28 kg). A Monkey Hook can hold up to 35 pounds (15.87 kg). A Gorilla Hook can hold as much as 50 pounds (22.67 kg).


Choose your ingredients. Blend the ingredients in a blender. Add extra ingredients if you'd like. Store your shaving cream in a squeeze bottle.

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

The point of using shaving cream is to provide a smooth surface that allows your razor to glide easily over your skin and cut through your hair without snagging. You can achieve these results without using a fancy cream; all you really need are oil and a moisturizer. Here's what to get:  1 cup oil, such as melted coconut oil, almond oil, or olive oil 1/3 cup moisturizer, such as aloe vera gel, honey or rosewater Pour the oil and moisturizer into a blender and blend on high for a few minutes to thoroughly mix your two-ingredient cream. The resulting mixture should be loose and creamy. While you might love the idea of using just two easy ingredients, it's fine to make a few additions if you want to customize your shaving cream. Try any or all of the following:  Up to 10 drops of your favorite essential oil One tablespoon baking soda, if you like a thicker cream The contents of one vitamin E capsule, to help preserve the shaving cream This will keep it fresh and make it easy to dispense exactly as much as you need for each shave. This two-ingredient shaving cream should be stored in a cool, dark place so the oil doesn't spoil.


Choose your ingredients. Lay out a tortilla.

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

The next time you're at the market, look for foods you like. A good rule of thumb is that if they would work well in a sandwich, they would work well in a wrap, but because a wrap is enclosed, you can also include things that might not handle well on a sandwich. The anchor for a good wrap is usually a large flour tortilla, though you can use corn if you prefer them. You may be able to find colorful variations that include things like tomatoes or spinach. If you don't want to buy tortillas, or you can't find them, remember that you can also make your own.  Whatever tortilla you use, lay it on a plate or clean cutting board and arrange the contents on top of it.     Warm the tortilla in a pan with a bit of oil, if you want it warm.


Choose your inspiration and set a goal. Figure out a schedule that suits your needs. Push yourself to work hard. Work as much of your body as you can. Eat healthy and rest up so that you have energy to workout.

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

Having a goal can really help you feel motivated. Take a few minutes to think about why you’re working out and what you want to achieve. Write down your goal and post it somewhere you’ll see it regularly. Your bathroom mirror might be a good spot.  For example, maybe you are working out to get to a healthy weight. You might write, “I will reduce my BMI by 5%.” If you want to become a runner you could write, “I will be able to run a 5k within 3 months.” Talk to your doctor about any restrictions. It’s always a good idea to check in with your doctor before starting a workout routine. They can give you good advice based on your personal history. You can also do an online fitness assessment. Decide how many days a week you’ll be able to work out. Ideally, you should get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day, 5 days a week. However, if you’re trying to achieve a certain goal, you might want to consider working out for about an hour several days a week. Create a realistic plan and stick to it.  Choose the time of day that’s right for you. If you’re not a morning person, don’t try to force yourself to hit a 6 a.m. workout class. Just workout later in the day if that feels good to you. Make your workouts a priority. Schedule them on your calendar, just like you would any other appointment. Commit to keeping this appointment with yourself! You won’t make much progress towards your goal if you don't continue to test and push your boundaries. The trick is to do it safely and in a controlled manner. If you ran 2 miles yesterday and felt worn out later, don't try to run 5 miles today. Instead, find a level of exertion that leaves you feeling like you got in a good workout, and then try to slightly add on to the intensity of that level every couple of weeks.  Pick a way to track your progress. There are a lot of apps that can help you keep track of how you’re doing. You can record each of your workouts on your phone with them. You can also use a traditional notebook if you want.  Fitness trackers, like smartwatches, are...

Choose your leather dye.

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

Most commercially prepared leather dyes come with leather preparer, the dye itself, and a finish (such as leather sheen). Consider the following when choosing a dye:  Alcohol-based dyes stiffen the leather, while water-based dyes leave it soft and supple. Many water-based dyes are actually coatings, which can completely change the color of the piece. The color of the dye is not representative of the final color. Test on a small sample first. If you are touching up an already dyed piece, use a color-matching service to get an exact match. Dyes can be spray-on, paint-on, or sponge-on. Choose the type that works best for you in terms of ease of use.


Choose your location. Create a budget. Choose the date. Find a local wedding planner. Find a wedding package. Get your legal requirements taken care of. Invite your guests. Plan the entertainment. Get married!

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

Mexico is a large and beautiful country with plenty of scenic locations to have your wedding. You may choose the East or West coast to help cut down on your travel time depending on your location. You may also choose your location based on price and available activities. Be sure to put in the time and research your locations. Create a list of what your top destinations offer and narrow it down. Read reviews and visit forums to find answers to questions that aren’t immediately answered on websites. Mexico is a great destination because it may offer a comparable alternative to a local weekend wedding. For the same amount of money that you spend on a wedding at home you may be able to spend an entire week at a Mexican resort. Mexico also allows friends and family to have a fun getaway around the joyous occasion or an immediate honeymoon for the newlyweds. Make sure you create a limit and are strict when noting your expenditures. Once you have chosen a location and created your budget, choose a date. Make sure that it gives you enough time to prep and gives your guest enough time to make an informed decision. Taking time off work and spending money to fly to a destination is a big commitment so give your guests time to process. Make sure you choose the best time of year to have a wedding at your location. Some destinations may be too hot or it may be rainy during certain times of year. November through to May are ideal times to avoid weather extremes. Local wedding planners or planners who specialize in destination weddings in Mexico may greatly ease the stress of planning a wedding at an unknown location. They can help you organize legal requirements as well as find the best deals to suit your budget and wedding plans. Make sure you read reviews and research forums to find a wedding planner that will meet and exceed your expectations. Many resorts and locations offer wedding packages to ease the planning. You may choose to have the ceremony outdoors or in the hotel grounds. Make sure the package suits your...


Choose your location. Dig a cathole. Squat and defecate. Wipe with toilet paper that you brought with you. Bury your waste.

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

Because you have to be discreet and also have a place to bury your feces that is sanitary, you need to keep the following guidelines in mind before you squat:  Choose a place that is well hidden from passersby, preferably with the cover of trees. Choose a place that is at least 200 feet away from water sources like lakes or streams, and away from campsites or other places where other people are likely to discover it.  Try to find a place with soft soil for digging. A cathole is a small hole for defecating, similar to how cats dig a hole prior to defecating in the wild.  Using the trowel or hand shovel that you brought with you, dig a hole six inches deep and about four to six inches wide. It needs to be big enough to be a target as you squat above it, and also deep enough that animals will stay out. First, lower your underwear and pants. You can remove them entirely if you prefer, and drape them on a nearby tree or bush.  Then, squat over your cathole and defecate directly into it.  If you miss, use a stick to move your feces into the bottom of the hole. While you might have seen people in movies using leaves for wiping, unless you have a thorough knowledge of local vegetation, don't try this yourself. You might end up with a blistering rash in the worst possible place. Put your used toilet paper in the plastic bag you've brought with you, then seal it and put it in another plastic bag to conceal the smell. Take it all out with you and dispose of it when you find a trash can, or when you get home. You must bury it for sanitary reasons. By burying your feces, you can reduce the risk of someone stepping in it or of spreading illness and germs. Cover your feces with the soil that you dug out of your cathole, then cover it with sticks, leaves, or rocks to disguise it. This helps keep animals away, which can help prevent the spread of germs.


Choose your materials for the plow. Form your steel sheet into a plow. Bend the sheet. Try using an oil drum if you don’t have a steel sheet.

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

You’ll need to find something to form the shovel or blade of your snowplow. Items you can use to make this include: A half oil drum or piece of flat steel sheet about a quarter inch thick. If using a steel sheet, cut a piece about twice as wide as your tractor and about one and a half times as tall as the front of the tractor. Using a piece of chalk, mark out five sections of equal height along the vertical length of what will be your plow bucket. You’ll want to fold in the top and bottom quarters of the bucket to create curved edge to scoop the snow. You can bend this sheet by scoring the metal (cutting a shallow groove in it, not all the way through). This will enable you to bend the steel into shape by hammering it between pieces of wood. Once bent, weld the sheet into place at the bend to make sure it retains its shape. If you don’t have sheet metal, you could try using an old oil drum cut in half or something like an old hot water tank. Oil drums are likely to be lightweight, which means that they will work better for a lighter frame tractor. They will also cut through the snow well but they are also likely to buckle under pressure. Remember that there will be sharp edges where you cut so make sure to store it where someone, like a child, will not be able to reach it.


Choose your method wisely. Be prepared for the time and expense. Build your hair’s health before you go gray. Purchase a 10 to 20-volume cream developer. Buy a hair toner to help eliminate brassiness after bleaching. Buy a gray hair dye and the other necessary tools for home use.

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

Consider whether to use an at-home dye kit or professional dyes, or go to the salon. Carefully consider the costs, processes, and risks involved in each method.  For the salon method, costs and products will vary. Check out websites of local salons or call them for pricing. If possible, talk to a stylist in person. Use the box kit method with caution. Read online reviews to help you choose a box kit that works best on black hair. A popular box kit is L’Oréal Paris Preference Les Blondissimes LB01: Extra Light Ash Blonde. It won’t dye your hair platinum, but may get you down to an ashy blonde in one go.  Use professional-quality products, if possible. Some professional companies require a cosmetology license in order to make a purchase, so keep that in mind. Regardless of which method you choose, it will likely take multiple bleachings to achieve the gray tone that you want. Take the time and expense (i.e. multiple salon visits, multiple purchases of dye kits or professional products) into consideration before you decide. In the weeks or months leading up to the bleaching, avoid using harsh hair products and heat styling tools on your hair. If your hair feels damaged, do weekly deep-conditioning masks until it feels healthy enough to be bleached.  Use good-quality shampoos and conditioners to moisturize your hair without adding buildup or stripping your hair of its natural oils. Look for low pH, oils (argan, avocado, olive), glycerin, glyceryl stearate, propylene glycol, sodium lactate, sodium PCA, and alcohols that start with “c” or “s.”  Avoid strongly fragranced products, alcohols that begin with “prop,” sulfates, and any products that claim to add volume. Cream developer reacts with the powder to bleach your hair. It comes in different volumes ranging from 10 (weakest) to 40 (strongest). The higher the volume, the quicker it will turn your hair blonde, but also the more damaging it will be. Most stylists recommend using 10-volume or 20-volume. A 20-volume developer is your safest bet for effectiveness and...


Choose your own adventure. Recognize the value of the book’s content. Make it social. Read a comparable or contradictory account. Grind through the rough spots.

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

If you’re reading a story, pretend you are the protagonist.  Change it up and pretend you’re the antagonist.  You can even pretend you’re a minor (or made-up) character observing the scenario from within the story. Relate to what is happening to the characters, however you are able to do so. If you’re reading more technical material, pause when you’re not understanding something.  Re-read a paragraph you didn’t fully understand.  Comprehending more the second time will re-invigorate both your enjoyment of the text and your motivation to continue reading.  Look up words and concepts you don’t recognize. New tendrils of thought and knowledge will increase your attachment to the text you’re reading. Appreciate that you’re learning from the book, and take pride in doing so. Ask friends if they have read the book. If they have, ask them about the book, the story, the plot, the concepts considered, etc.  Knowing that someone else has read or is reading the same book makes the act of reading feel more communal, and this can motivate you to continue reading. Read a different account of the same issue, a different perspective, or a different story set in the same time period or context.  Comparing and contrasting what these other texts say with what you’ve already read can renew your interest in the book you want to get through.  Don’t read too much of another book, only enough to add to your understanding or interest in the book you want to get through. If you’ve commit to reading a book, don’t let what might just be a boring patch throw you off course.  Remind yourself that a less interesting part may be setting the tone for something important or interesting later on.


Choose your paints. Get the rest of your materials. Set up your work area.

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

Before you can even consider oil painting, you must get oil paints. Although there are dozens of brands of oil paint on the market, don’t be drawn in by the attraction of budget supplies. Buying cheap, poor quality supplies will make your painting difficult, tedious, and frustrating. Paying a few dollars more will give you paints that require one coat instead of two or three for the same vibrancy and blend-ability.  The most basic collection of oil paints should include the following colors: cadmium yellow, yellow ochre, cadmium red, alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, titanium white, and mars black. You can use a combination of all of these colors to make any hue on the color wheel.(eg. yellow and red to make orange)  You will find that you likely will run out of white paint the fastest, so buy a large tube of this while purchasing small or medium tubes of paint for the others. Avoid buying “student sets” of paint, as these will seem like a good deal, but offer the poorest quality supplies. Also avoid buying sets of paint that come with paint brushes, as the brushes will likely be of poor quality as well. Beginning painters often fall under the tendency to avoid getting certain supplies to save money. While this is a perfectly all right practice, there are a few basic painting essentials you will need to make oil painting enjoyable and easy.  Choose a few basic paintbrushes of a high quality material. You don’t need many brushes to start out, but get a few of each kind. Start with differing sizes of round, flat, and bristle brushes. Synthetic brushes are made of a very soft, fine bristle while natural hair brushes are a bit rougher. Use both for different painting techniques. You will also need a palette knife for blending paints, a painting palette, canvas boards or stretched canvas, and some old rags and jars for cleaning your brushes. Oil paint is very thick directly out of the tube, and must be made thinner for the first layers using white spirits or turpentine, and a blending medium such as linseed oil...


Choose your pair of jeans.

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

For women’s styles, the super skinny cuff looks best with jeans that are very form fitting, often labeled “skinny” jeans. These jeans are straight-legged jeans, and usually have a bit of stretch to the fabric. For men’s styles, the super skinny cuff works for jeans that are slim and straight-legged. These jeans can also be labeled “skinny” or “slim fit” jeans.


Choose your paper material. Line the box with a sheet of wax paper and fill with popcorn.

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

White cardboard or posterboard are great options for this project because they’re sturdy and thick, but not too thick to cut through. You could also use a sheet of cardstock, either white or in the color of your choice. To reduce mess and re-use the box in the future, line your box with wax paper. Fill the box with hot popcorn and enjoy, then discard the greasy wax paper when you’re done. Line the box with fresh wax paper the next time you use it.


Choose your paper.

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

Again, your paper needs to be square to do the folds properly. If you are using something other than origami paper, like printer paper or a paper bag, you can use scissors to cut off parts of the paper so that all sides are equal.


Choose your paper. Use your bookmark.

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

For this, you will need a thick cardstock paper in any pattern or texture. You can choose to add additional decorative paper to the top of your bookmark when you have completed the assembly. The folded mark should be placed over a single page in your book, with the magnets connecting over the page. To keep it from falling out, place the bookmark near the spine of the page rather than the edge.
