Select an area of the garden where you can grow the green crop. Weed the area well. If the soil has deficiencies, correct these.

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

If you don't have a lot of space, consider leaving a garden bed fallow and growing the crop in place of your usual flowers or vegetables for one season. Any weeds left will compete with the green manure crop. However, do not correct nitrogen deficiency.  If using legumes (the most commonly used crop for green manure), the soil should be approximately 6.5 to 7.6 pH.  For the greatest benefit, compost the soil about 30 days prior to growing the green manure crop.


Select an essential oil. Choose a carrier oil. Dilute the essential oil in the carrier oil. Test your skin for sensitivity. Apply the mixture to your skin.

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

Several essential oils contain anti-microbial, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. These can treat bacteria that causes acne. Many are also soothing to the skin and can accelerate healing. Studies have shown that tea tree oil is as effective as benzoyl peroxide, but with fewer side effects for many people. Other essential oils with skin clearing properties include:  Spearmint or peppermint Thyme Cinnamon Rose Lavender Tea tree Carrier oils help your body absorb the essential oil and help dilute it. A carrier oil should be non-comedogenic oil so it doesn't clog your pores. The Journal of American Dermatology has given carrier oils a comedogenic rating so you know which oils are least likely to make your acne worse (rated 0) and which are more likely to clog your pores (rated 4 and 5). Find your favorite moisturizer with a rating from 0 to 2 from the list below:  Rated 0 (will not clog pores): hemp, mineral, and safflower oils Rated 1 (low likelihood of clogging pores): castor and calendula oils Rated 2 (moderately-low likelihood of clogging pores): almond, apricot kernel, avocado, camphor, evening primrose, grapeseed, hazelnut, and peanut oils Take one ounce of carrier oil and mix in 10 drops of your essential oil. Diluting the essential oil helps your body absorb the oil and prevents skin irritation. You should never apply essential oil directly onto your skin. This can cause sensitization where your skin develops a severe or itchy rash. Always test any essential oil for sensitivity or allergy by adding a drop of your chosen essential oil to about 8 ounces of water. Take a cotton ball and soak it in the water. Squeeze out the excess water and apply the cotton ball to your skin. Wait for about an hour and check for any skin reaction. If you have no reaction, you can go ahead and use the oil. If you notice inflammation, rash, or swelling, do not use the oil and try a different essential oil once your skin has recovered. Spread the mixture onto any problem areas on your chest.

Next, you can enhance your project by adding music, photos, titles (text that appears onscreen, over your video), and more.


Select an herbicide. Wear safety equipment.

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

Herbicides that contain glyphosate or triclopyr amine are effective at killing trees and available at garden stores. Your species may respond to one of these more than the other. For example, glyphosate may do a better job controlling Russian olive, while triclopyr is the better choice for locust, maple, oak, and willow.  Triclopyr amine should work at concentrations of 8.8%. For glyphosate, try to find a concentration of about 40%, then dilute with an equal amount of water. If that isn't available, apply undiluted product with at least 20% concentration.  Herbicides containing 2,4-D, dicamba, or picloram are risky, as they may spread to nearby vegetation and kill it as well. This shouldn't happen with careful application of glyphosate or triclopyr. Follow the herbicide label instructions to prevent dangerous exposure to the chemicals. At minimum, wear long sleeves and pants, closed-toe shoes, latex or nitrile gloves, and safety goggles. Choose clothes you don't mind ruining. You do not need to wear a mask, since you will not be spraying herbicide into the air.


Select an oil-based paint for a more durable finish. Spread a thin layer of paint along the pine’s grain. Wait up to 24 hours for the paint to fully dry. Add another coat of paint to make the finish more consistent. Let the paint dry and apply extra layers if needed.

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

Oil-based paints are much more resistant against the color bleeding that can be a big problem with pine. Try getting an alkyd paint, which is made with synthetic resins. Make sure the primer you used is compatible with the paint you pick. Shellac primers work with both oil and water-based paints, but other types of primers may only work with water-based paints.  Alkyd paints are good for most projects since they tend to last a long time. If you’re painting something you use every day, consider getting an alkyd paint. Latex-based paints are less resistant to water and color bleeding. You may still be able to get a good finish by using one, and it’s an inexpensive option if the wood won’t get wet at all. For special finishes, try using milk or chalk paints instead. These paints crack and flake, giving wood a distressed look. They are pretty resistant against color bleeding, but apply a primer first for maximum protection. Paint can be applied either with a paint brush, paint sprayer, or spray can. It is usually easier when you start from the top, moving gradually in straight lines while following the grain. Move at a steady but consistent rate to ensure the wood gets coated in an even layer of paint. The initial layer will most likely look a little thin at first, but you can fix it later. Use a paint sprayer to save time when applying liquid paint. It’s best for bigger projects, such as if you’re painting furniture outdoors. You may still need to switch to a brush in order to reach smaller areas. That may seem like a long time, but it’s worth it in the end. The paint has to finish drying or else the finished product may not turn out the way you expect. Note that the required drying time varies depending on the type of paint you’re using. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for more specific instructions.  Oil-based paints require a little bit of waiting, so you most likely will have to finish painting the pine on a different day. The finish will be worth it, though! Water-based paints, such as latex and...


Select an outfit for a wedding. Select an outfit for a job interview. Select an outfit for school. Select an outfit for work.

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

Dressing for a wedding is tricky because it varies depending on time of year and wedding location. The one constant rule for weddings is don’t wear white. Other than that, take your fashion cues from the invitation.  If the wedding explicitly states black tie, plan to wear a tux or evening gown. If the wedding takes place during the day or outside, wear a more casual dress or suit. Men may be able to get away with slacks and a button down shirt. If the ceremony takes place in a house of worship, bring a sweater to cover any exposed shoulders. Once upon a time, the only appropriate clothing to wear to a job interview was a suit. Now, times have changed, and depending on where you’re interviewing, a suit may be a little too much.  If you’re interviewing for a job in finance, business or law, men and women alike should expect to wear a suit. If you’re interviewing for a startup company or for a more creative field, try wearing a dress and cardigan or a pencil skirt with a cropped jacket. Men should wear slacks and a nice button down shirt. Since you’ll be in class all day, you’ll want to pick an outfit that is comfortable, while still expressing your sense of style and personality. Make sure to pick an outfit that fits within your school dress code, otherwise you may be asked to go home and change.  For girls who like to be comfortable, wear a pair of jeans with a graphic tee and add a zip up hoodie for warmth. Give your outfit an added boost with a pair of patterned sneakers. For girls who like to dress up, wear a skirt and blouse, with patterned leggings tucked into boots. Most guys prefer some variation on jeans, t-shirts and sweatshirts. On days where you’d like to look nicer, swap out the hoodie for a pullover sweater. Your work outfit will be dictated by your company culture and it may take a few weeks of working in an office to figure out the rules. And while some offices allow you to wear jeans to work, you can never go wrong with business casual.  Look at what the most powerful person in your office...


Select and purchase a high quality food. Purchase at least two bowls, one for water and the other for food. Give your puppy a substitute for chewing. Buy a collar (or harness) and leash that is sized for your puppy. Stock up on brushes to groom your puppy. Get a dog-safe toothbrush and some dog-safe toothpaste.

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

Make sure that the food you choose for your puppy is formulated for puppies and that it is appropriate for your dog’s breed. Talk to your vet about what dog foods have the best quality ingredients for your puppy and ask for recommendations about how much and how often to feed your puppy.  Puppies require more frequent feedings than adult dogs. That means that you will have to feed your puppy three meals per day until he reaches 18 weeks. Then you can switch to two meals per day.  Provide treats for your puppy as well. Use treats to reinforce your puppy’s good behavior. Doing so will also improve your bond with your new puppy.  Be consistent with the type of food you feed your puppy. Changing his food overnight can cause severe gastric distress. If you must change him to a new brand, do so gradually. Add about 1/3 of the new food to the old food and increase the amount over the course of a week until you are feeding him only the new food.  Keep in mind it is quite difficult to feed a balanced homemade diet to a growing puppy. The balance of calcium and phosphate needs to be exactly right in order to provide for growing bones, and this is difficult for even expert nutritionists to achieve. Remember, wild dogs don't live nearly as long as our pets. You will need to have two separate bowls for your puppy’s food and water. Choose bowls that are easy to clean and that are dishwasher safe. It is a good idea to choose ceramic or stainless steel bowls because these cannot be damaged by chewing and they have a smooth surface that does not harbor as much bacteria as plastic bowls. Make sure that your puppy always has access to fresh, clean water. Keep the bowl filled and change his water out every day. Puppies have to chew, so always provide something suitable for your puppy to chew on. Make sure that you choose your puppy’s chew toys with care because many toys are not safe for an unsupervised puppy. If your puppy chews a hole in a toy and swallows some plastic, this can lead to a serious bowel obstruction.  Select...


Select biodegradable cleaning products. Choose recycled products instead of new ones. Decrease your coffee intake. Limit your use of pesticides. Throw any waste into the garbage or recycling (if it can be recycled).

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

Any chemicals you use in your home end up back in the water supply. Choose natural soaps or create your own cleaning and  disinfecting agents out of vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and other natural products. These products have far less of a negative impact if they reach a river.  Products marked “Poison” or “Danger” are always bad for rivers. Even cleaners marked “Warning” or “Caution” have a negative impact. You should always use cleaning products near a drain. Avoid adding them directly to the water even if they are natural. New products take way more water to make than recycled products. Reuse what you already own when possible. If you need to buy something, opt for products made out of recycled paper or other reused material.  Check the labels and research products online for more information on how they are made. Recycled paper, for instance, reduces tree, water, and landfill usage. Unless you're an ethical hunter or know someone who is, try going meatless for 1 day a week. Domestic meat production is a huge cause of water use, and it can negatively impact our rivers and other natural landmarks.  Try cutting meat, pork, and chicken out of your diet, even if you only do so for 1 day a week.     1 lb (0.45 kg) of beef takes about 1,799 US gal (6,810 L) to make.  Once you feel comfortable going meatless for 1 day a week, try expanding that to 2 or 3 days per week for an even bigger positive impact. Coffee beans take a ton of water to grow, and then you need more water to make it. Replace it on occasion with tea, which uses less water. Natural fruit juice can be a nice treat sometimes as well. Dairy and almond milk aren't the best replacement, since animals and almonds use a lot of water. Try a natural soy milk instead. Bug spray is a chemical that eventually returns to the water supply in the form of runoff. Around your home, reduce pests by keeping your yard well-drained and maintained. When you think you need a pesticide, spray a small amount directly on your body or plant. Pesticides harm plants and...


Select cattle breeds to raise when starting your farm. Purchase healthy cows to stock your farm. Build barns and other facilities needed for your cows. Install water sources for your cows. Plant grass and alfalfa to use as a food source. Set up fences to keep your cows in the pastures.

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

There are over 100 breeds of cattle in the world, and all of them are different. For the greatest chance of success, choose breeds according to the goals of your farm or ranch, not what you like or are willing to work with. Find out which cows are commonly available in your area, since they will be cheaper and easier to raise than other breeds.  If you are into beef production, start with a docile breed. Herefords, Red Polls, Shorthorns, Galloways, and British Whites are some examples. Black Angus cattle are a popular source of beef, but they are a little tricky for beginners. Angus bulls are known to be more aggressive than those from other breeds, so be careful. For dairy production, the most popular breeds are Holstein, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, and Ayrshire. Jersey cows are the most versatile breed. They are often used for both beef and dairy as well as for breeding calves. Don’t go whole-hog and buy as many cows as you can stock on your property! Seek out a few quality cows that are right for your farm’s purpose. Look for ones with great conformation, which means a proper skeletal and muscular structure. Also, factor in the cow’s age, temperament, and overall health.  Heifers are an option if you don’t mind waiting 2 or more years to produce calves for sale. You may also be able to buy a bred cow with their previous calf to get a return on your investment right away. You do not need to get a bull unless you do not wish to use artificial insemination. If you choose to keep a bull, wait until you have 10 or more cows. No matter what kind of farm you start, you need a good barn to keep your cows when they’re not out to pasture. For calves, you have to have a calf barn and a calving facility. If you’re beginning a dairy farm, you will also need a milking parlor with stanchions.  Beef cattle don’t require much in the way of extra facilities beyond well-supplied barns. You need plenty of clean water to keep your cows hydrated and your pastures green. Install irrigation systems as needed to compensate for...


Select chemical-free hair products. Stop using heat. Let your hair be its natural self. Get regular trims.

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

Sometimes the main culprit that causes hair to thin is the shampoo you use every day. Hair cleansers, conditioners, and styling products often contain chemicals that wear down the hair, dry it out and cause it to fall out more easily than healthy hair. Immediately improve the health of your hair by making the following changes in your bathroom:  Swap shampoo with sulfates for sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates are harsh cleaners that are effective at stripping away the oils in your hair. The problem is that without the protection of natural oils, hair gets easily damaged and frayed. Choose a shampoo made with oils and natural cleansers that won't be too harsh for your hair. Replace commercially-manufactured conditioner with something made with natural ingredients. Conditioners can contain sulfates, too, and they also contain other chemicals that can be hard on your hair. Replace your conditioner with one that is made with coconut oil, aloe, and other natural conditioners. You can also try  substituting an apple cider vinegar solution - it makes hair soft, supple and shiny. Toss out hair sprays, gels, and pomades containing a lot of chemicals and alcohol. Applying these to your hair can dry it out and damage it over time. Use them sparingly or replace them with hair products containing natural ingredients. Styling tools like hair dryers, straightening irons, and curling irons are tough on hair. Use them sparingly or forego them altogether. If you absolutely must straighten or curl your hair, try  straightening without heat or using sponge rollers to curl it. Bleaching, highlighting, and coloring your hair can cause it to fall out or become dry and brittle. Chemical straighteners and permanent curls are also extremely damaging to your hair. Embrace your natural color and texture to promote hair growth and preserve the health of your hair. Trimming your hair gets rid of dull, damaged ends and adds new life and volume to your hair. Shorter cuts and layered cuts, especially, can make your hair appear to be thicker...


Select chile peppers for pickling. Sterilize your jar(s) in boiling water. Heat up the pressure canner. Wash chiles in warm water and remove their seeds. Remove the skins from the chiles. Heat together the pickling mixture. Insert the chiles and pickling mixture into jars. Lid the jars. Boil jars in your pressure canner. Store pickled chiles in a pantry or refrigerator.

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

Handle peppers with gloves to protect your skin and eyes from irritation. Pods that are young, firm, and crisp will result in the best pickled chiles. Any peppers with brown or soft spots can be thrown away. Whenever you handle chile peppers with your bare hands, be sure to wash them in warm soapy water immediately afterward to remove chile oil. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Use tongs to submerge your jar(s) in the water for at least 10 minutes. To protect your lid(s) from deforming, sterilize lids with water that is nearly or lightly boiling for the same amount of time. Rinse your pressure canner with clean water. Insert the rack plate in the canner’s bottom. Fill the canner with about 4 in (10.2 cm) of water, or to the point indicated in the canner’s user manual. Heat the canner over low heat with the lid off.  Some pressure canners may need to be adjusted according to altitude. Check your pressure canner’s instructions to determine its correct.  Always follow the manual directions for your pressure canner. Some brands may have special procedures. Improper usage to result in damage or ruined peppers. If you cannot find the directions for your canner, look for a digital manual online with a keyword search for your canner’s make and model. Small peppers can be pickled whole. Simply slice the pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds. Large peppers should be quartered with a knife. Remove the core of large chiles and most of the seeds. If you like your peppers spicy, leave a few seeds behind. Save a few seeds for later and add these to the pickling mixture for spicier pickles. If your chiles have thick skin it will toughen when pickled. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lay the peppers in the pan. After a few minutes, turn the peppers. When the skin begins to darken and bubble, it will be easier to pull free with your hands. Rinse the peppers after the skin is removed.  Use a knife, vegetable peeler, or a similar tool to scrape away the skin on chiles. Tools like these are especially useful for...


Select crisp, fresh peppers for pickling. Cut your chiles, if desired, then wash them in warm water. Heat the wine and add pickling ingredients to it. Add the chiles and bay leaves to the mixture. Pour the chiles and pickling mixture to jars. Seal the jars and store pickled chiles in the refrigerator.

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

Tender, firm, crisp peppers will taste best when pickled. Peppers with discoloration or soft spots should be thrown away. Wear rubber gloves when handling peppers to prevent skin irritation or transferring hot pepper oil to your eyes. If you handle the peppers with your bare hands, thoroughly wash your hands immediately afterward in warm, soapy water. Pickling whole small chiles is perfectly fine, but sliced chiles may be preferable if you plan on using them as a side or topping. Rinse the chiles in warm, salty water. Drain the chiles, then set them off to the side for later. If you plan on pickling whole small chiles, use a knife or toothpick to poke a hole in each chile at its tip. Pour the white wine and apple cider vinegar into a pot. Set a burner to high and heat the mixture. As it heats, add 3 tbsp (44 ml) of sugar. Stir the mixture occasionally until it comes to a boil and the sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off the stove. Add about 3 bay leaves to the mixture. Insert the chiles into the pot. Mix all the ingredients in the pot with a wooden spoon by stirring periodically with a wooden spoon. Allow the mixture to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring the chiles and pickling solution to sterilized jars. Heat from the mixture will transfer to the jars quickly, so be careful while doing this. Leave at least a half inch (1.3 cm) of space between the mixture and top of the lid. Sterilize your jars before pickling by completely immersing these in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Use tongs to immerse and remove jars so you don’t get burned. Sterilize lids similarly in water that is nearly boiling. Allow the mixture to fully cool before sealing the lids. Once lidded, store your pickled chiles in your refrigerator. Allow the chiles to pickle in your refrigerator for two weeks before eating.


Select culms that are between 3-5 years old. Cut with a sharp hacksaw for thicker bamboo stalks. Operate a chainsaw for mature bamboo to cut it quickly. Make your cut above the first or second node from the ground. Remove the branches and leaves.

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

Look for stalks that have a lime-green color with red spots of pigmentation. Older bamboo stalks will be near the center of your bamboo patch while newer shoots will be around the outside.  Tap the stalks with a pen or your finger. Younger stalks will sound have a deeper noise while older bamboo will sound hollower and metallic. Look at the branches growing from the bamboo. Young bamboo will have only 1 or 2 branches growing and old bamboo will have many. Place the blade of the saw against the bamboo stalk and use a back and forth motion to cut through it. Using a sharp saw will give you the cleanest cut through the bamboo.  Hacksaws are available for purchase at hardware stores or online. Hacksaws are less flexible than regular saws and will make it easier to make a clean cut through the bamboo. Start your chainsaw and hold it near the stalk of bamboo you wish to harvest. Push the saw through the bamboo with consistent pressure until it passes through the bamboo completely.  Wear gloves and safety glasses when you operate a chainsaw to protect yourself from debris. Cutting bamboo will dull the chain on the saw much faster than normal. Make sure you know which direction you intend for the bamboo to fall so that there is nothing in the way. The nodes are the bands that wrap around the stalks of bamboo. Cut at an angle so water can easily run off the culm so it does not rot. Bamboo that has been cut can grow back during the coming growing seasons. Use your saw or a sharp knife to cut away any growths on the main stalk of your bamboo. Cut as close to the main culm of bamboo as you can.


Select dark meat chicken for its high iron content. Remove any bones and skin from the chicken. Dice the meat into small pieces. Cover the chicken with water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the liquid in the pan to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer the chicken for 15-20 minutes.

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

Breastfed babies benefit from eating foods that are rich in iron and zinc. While white chicken meat is leaner, dark meat is a better choice for your baby because it’s higher in iron and antioxidants. Go for a dark meat cut such as chicken thighs or leg quarters.  Since most baby formulas are fortified with iron and other important micronutrients, it’s not as important for formula-fed babies to get the additional iron found in dark meat. Ask your pediatrician whether dark meat or white meat is a better choice for your baby.  Chicken thighs are also higher in fat compared to the breasts, which makes them more flavorful and easier to puree.  You will need 1-2 thighs to make about ½ cup (approximately 65 g) of cooked chicken. A single 6 oz (170 g) bone-in, skin-on thigh will yield about 3 ounces (85 g) of meat, but you’ll need more if you’re using small thighs. If possible, purchase chicken meat that is already boneless and skinless. If that’s not available, peel off the skin and cut the meat off the bones. Chicken skin does not puree well. If you leave it on, you may end up with large pieces of skin in your puree, which could cause your baby to choke. Before you cook the chicken, use a sharp knife to cut it into small cubes or dices. Put the chicken on a cutting board and slice it into strips about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) wide, then cut across the strips widthwise to make cubes.  Putting the chicken in your freezer for 15 minutes before you slice it will make it easier to cut.  Always take care when using a sharp knife. Keep your fingertips curled under when holding the chicken in place so you don’t accidentally cut them. Place your diced chicken in a pan and pour in enough water to completely cover the meat. Using broth will give the chicken a richer flavor, but it will also produce its own broth during the cooking process. Place the pan on your stove and turn the burner on to medium-high heat. Cover the pan and wait for the liquid to begin boiling. The amount of time this takes will vary depending on how much liquid...


Select days and times when you can exercise. Start with some simple exercises. Put together a fun exercise playlist. Sneak in a few mini-workouts throughout the day. Don’t exhaust yourself in the early phases of exercising. Allow recovery time after each workout.

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

This will help the exercise regimen become a habit. In order to integrate this into your lifestyle, you'll need to make it a priority. To do this, set aside a time at least a few days a week. For example, plan to run for an hour every morning a 7am. Or, plan to hit the gym on Mondays from 6 to 8 pm. Getting over the initial hump will be the hardest part. If you exercise sporadically, whenever you feel like it, you'll fail to start an effective habit. For general-purpose exercise, it's best to develop a well-rounded exercise regimen. As you figure out what exercises you prefer, you can later tailor your regimen and goals towards these exercises. Focus on strength training and cardio workouts at first.  Try incorporating cardiovascular activity to your workouts. Start out simple with walking or running, whether on a treadmill or a trail. Do this for 20 minutes, 3-5 times a week. Incorporate strength-training exercises (like free weights or weight machines) into your weekly workouts too. Exercise all of your major muscle groups (chest and arms, legs, and core) at least twice a week. You’ll be more motivated to start exercise—and to keep going—if you have energetic music to listen to. Put together an hour’s worth of upbeat rock, pop, or hip-hop songs. Listening to music while exercising will distract you from the pain your muscles are in, and motivate you to push your body. Or, if you don’t have time to put your own playlist together, find pre-made workout playlists on music streaming sites like Spotify or Pandora. You don’t have to spend hours at the gym in order to exercise. There are plenty of short, effective workouts you can do during the day, whether at an office building or your home. You can  work out at your office or work desk and get in some cardio exercise without even leaving your office.  For example, if you work in an office building, take a 20-minute walk during lunch. Or, jog up and down the stairs for 15 minutes to raise your heart rate. Or, every 2 hours, take a 10-minute break to do 30...


Select dowels, if you like.

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

Dowels are the sticks you sometimes see at the end of scrolls that make them easier to roll and unroll. You can purchase craft sticks from your local craft store to make your dowels. Cut them to the width of your paper. You will need two dowels, one for each end. Alternatively, you can use chopsticks. Decorate the ends of your dowels using ribbon or dowel caps, which can be purchased at your local craft store. Secure your decorations with hot glue.


Select either seeds or seedlings. Select a suitable space for growing. Know that you can also grow beetroot in pots. Till the soil to prepare it. Sow the seeds or plant the seedlings.

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

These should be readily available from your local nursery or garden center. Don't shy away from seeds – beetroot is notoriously easy to take care of. The "Boltardy" variety of beetroot is best if you're sowing early. White and golden varieties take about half as long to grow and don't bleed in salads (the downside being they don't have that beautiful carmine color). Apart from these things, the variety you choose will depend on the look and flavor that appeals to you most. Beetroot likes neutral, moist, fertile soil without too much lime or acidity (pH 6.5-7.0). The soil should be soft and not have too much clay or too much sand; however, since the root develops at the surface, a clay soil can be tolerated if the top has been loosened by the addition of lots of well-rotted organic matter (don't add this unless the soil has much clay). The position needs to be sunny and open but it will tolerate part shade. If you have the foresight in late autumn or early spring, it's a good idea to use a general granular fertiliser a few weeks before sowing and rake it into the soil to let the nutrients absorb. If you're dealing with the round variety (which you probably are – the long, cylindrical varieties are rarely grown), a pot can work just as well, so long as it's at least 20cm (8in) in diameter and at least 20cm (8in) deep. Fill the pot up to the top with loose, multi-purpose compost. The seeds should then be sown thinly across the surface and covered with 2cm (0.75in) of compost. Then, when the seedlings reach 2 cm (about an inch) in height, remove the weaker of the seedlings to give the vigorous plants room to grow – aim for about 12cm (5 inches) between seeds. Remove weeds and any other debris, as well as any stones that might impede root growth. The soil only needs tilling to one spade blade of depth. Roughly level the area and rake over the top to loosen.  If you have heavy soil, it's best prepared in late autumn. If it's lighter, aim for early spring. If you're planting in autumn, leave the top of the soil...

Select foods high in nutrients. Avoid overly processed food, fatty food, sugar, and caffeine. Keep track of your progress. Try to de-stress.

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

Choose foods rich in iron, protein, and calcium, as opposed to foods with empty calories or those high in fats or sugars. High protein foods are especially important because they will keep you feeling full for longer. Try to avoid foods that are highly processed or that are simple carbs, like white bread, white rice, cookies, and candy. This will help you lose weight without sacrificing your nutritional health.  Good sources of iron include whole-grain products, dark leafy vegetables, and citrus fruits. Eggs and dairy products, as well as leans meats, soy products and meat substitutes, legumes, lentils, nuts, seeds and whole grains contain protein. For calcium, consider dairy products or dark green vegetables. You can also find calcium-enriched products like juices, cereals, soy milk, yogurt and tofu. Not only will it help you lose weight, but a healthier diet enhances the nutritional value of your breast milk. Junk foods and fast foods offer empty calories that do not offer sustained sources of energy you need to take care of yourself and your baby.  Avoiding the extra salt, sugar and preservatives in processed foods is better for you overall. Decrease your fat intake to 20-25% or less of total calories. Replace those fat calories with foods that are lower in fat, but higher in protein.  Watch out for hidden sugars in juices and sodas that add on additional calories without nutritional benefit. Many sodas also contain caffeine, which should be limited to less than 2 to 3 cups per day. More than that can disrupt your baby's sleeping habits (and yours). There are creative ways to chart the progress you have made in your efforts to lose weight. A weight loss chart can help you see on a daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly basis how much you have lost.  Make you own chart using an excel spreadsheet. This option allows you to include information that is most relevant to you. Download a weight loss chart. There are many different types of weight loss charts available with just a brief online search. Many are...


Select fresh eggs when baking. Use the whisk attachment on your stand mixer.

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

When beaten, fresher eggs will achieve more loft and greater stability than older eggs. This will help you achieve the ribbon stage more quickly than by using a hand mixer. If you use a hand mixer, be sure to circulate it through the mixture while beating to achieve the proper loft.


Select fresh, good-quality produce. Clean and prepare the food. Cook the food by steaming, boiling or baking. When processing baby food, try to work in small batches. Cool and puree the food. Serve or store the food.

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

The first step in producing tasty, nutritious food for your baby is to select fresh, good quality produce.  Buy organic if possible, and make sure fruits and vegetables are ripe and blemish-free. Try to use or cook all foods within 2 or 3 days after purchase. Choose items like apples, pears, peaches and sweet potatoes to try first.  Avoid foods that may be stringy or hard for baby to swallow, such as green beans or peas with shells, unless you pass them through a fine strainer after they have been cooked and blended. The next step is to prepare the food for cooking or serving -- this involves cleaning the food and removing any parts  that the baby cannot chew or digest -- such as skins, pips, nuts, seeds and fat.  Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Peel foods with skins and core items with seeds. Dice vegetables into similar sized cubes so they will cook evenly. In terms of quantity, 2 lbs. (900 g) of clean, diced produce will make around 2 cups (300 g) of homemade baby food. You can prepare meat and poultry by washing, removing the skin and trimming any fat before cooking. Grains like quinoa and millet should be prepared according to the instructions on the package. If you're preparing a ripe fruit -- like a soft pear or avocado -- you can simply mash it up with a fork and serve immediately. Vegetables, meat and grains on the other hand, will need to be cooked first. You have several options when it comes to cooking methods:  Steaming is the best option when it comes to cooking vegetables, as it preserves the most nutrients. Use a steamer basket, or simply place a colander over a boiling saucepan of water. Steam produce until it is tender, usually about 10 to 15 minutes. Boiling can be used to cook grains, vegetables and certain animal produce. You can boil the food in a broth to add more flavor, if you wish. Baking is a good option for things like sweet potatoes, cruciferous veggies, meat and poultry. You can add a little flavor to these items by adding herbs and mild spices during baking (don't be...


Select fruits that are suitable for drying. Choose ripe fruit.

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

Not all fruits will dry well, so focus only on the ones known to produce excellent results when dried. These include:  Vine fruits such as grapes. Note that grapes produce different types of dried fruits: Zante currants come from from a tiny, seedless black grape; sultanas come from a sweet, seedless green/white grape; and raisins come from large, sweet grapes such as muscat.  Tree fruits such as stone fruit (apricots, peaches, plums, nectarines), mangoes, bananas, apples, figs, dates and pears. Make sure that the fruit you use is mature, firm, and ripe. Fruit that is damaged, unripe, or overripe will lack nutritional value, won't dry as well, and won't taste as good since the sugars aren't at their peak stage of development.


Select game servers closer to you. Close any network-hogging programs on your computer. Check if there are any other devices on your network taking bandwidth. Connect your computer or game console to your router via Ethernet. Reset your network hardware. Check for malware on your computer. Enable QoS on your router (if possible). Upgrade your router if you haven't in a while. Check for available internet upgrades. Consider using a VPN service.

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

Many games have the option to either browse through available servers or set your matchmaking region. Selecting a location close to you is the absolute most effective way to decrease your ping.  The process for this will vary wildly depending on the game you are playing. Look for location filters in your server browser, locations in the server name or description (US-West, EU, etc.), or region settings in the matchmaking menu. Not all multiplayer games allow you to select a region, and may automatically try to connect you to the closest server or player to you. Before playing your online game, make sure any bandwidth-chugging programs are closed. Torrents, streaming music, and open browsers can all have a big impact on your in-game lag. Close these programs before starting your game. Look in the System Tray for programs that may be running in the background. If someone is streaming video in the other room, you'll likely take a big hit to your ping. Try to time your gaming to when others aren't using the network, or ask politely if they can do something else for a while. If your computer or video game console is connected to your network wirelessly, you may experience worse performance in-game. If your network setup allows it, try to run an Ethernet cable from your computer's Ethernet port to an open LAN port on your router. If you're noticing worse lag than usual, resetting your network hardware may solve the problem. This will disable your network for a short while, so close your game first and make sure you're not interrupting anyone else:  Remove the power cable from your modem and from your router, if you have a separate one. Let your network hardware rest unplugged for about 30 seconds. Plug your modem back in and wait for it to boot up. This could take a minute or two. Plug your router back in after the modem finishes turning on, if you have one. The router may take an additional minute or two to turn back on. If you have a virus or adware infection, background processes may be eating up a lot of your...


Select high-density carpet. Choose firm carpet padding. Hire a professional for installation.

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

You can easily determine if a carpet is high density by folding over the sample. Then, look for the backing between the fibers. A high-density carpet will not show the backing. It will cost more, but will withstand the strain of heavy furniture better. It will also be more comfortable and last longer. A long pile height doesn’t necessarily mean that a carpet is dense. If each fiber is very thin, then it will still dent easily. Look for a firm, thin pad. Press your fingers into the pad and look for one that provides the most resistance. A thick carpet pad may reduce noise and be more comfortable to walk on, but it allows carpet to flex too much and increases the chances that carpet will develop dents. A pad that isn't firm enough will be permanently crushed by heavy furniture. Always install a fresh carpet pad with new carpet. If you create multiple layers of pads, then you’ll get a ripple effect on the carpet’s surface. Installing carpet on your own without expert guidance can lead to a lumpy, easily dented floor. Most carpet and flooring stores can recommend contractors to you who have experience with installation. Check their references and reviews personally before moving forward.  Most reputable contractors will also come out to your home and provide an estimate for your carpet installation project. If an installer doesn’t listen to your concerns about durability and denting, hire another person to do the job.


Select more powerful welding machines for thicker metal. Choose the correct shielding gas. Use aluminum electrodes.

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

A 115-volt welder can handle aluminum up to an eighth of an inch thick (3 mm) with adequate preheating, and a 230-volt machine can weld aluminum that's up to a quarter of an inch thick (6 mm). Consider a machine with an output greater than 200 amps if you will be welding aluminum daily. Aluminum requires a shielding gas of pure argon in contrast with steel, which typically uses a blend of argon and carbon dioxide (CO2). This should not require any new hoses, although you may need to replace regulators that were designed specifically for CO2. Electrode thickness is especially critical with aluminum and there is an extremely narrow range to consider. Thinner wire is more difficult to feed, while thicker wire requires greater current to melt. The electrodes for welding aluminum should be .035 of an inch in diameter (less than 1 mm). One of the best choices is 4043 aluminum. A harder alloy like 5356 aluminum is easier to feed, but will require more current.


Select one or two colors of tissue paper. Cut one or two 3.5 to 4 in (8.9 to 10.2 cm) strips of tissue paper. Cut a 6 to 8 in (15 to 20 cm) piece of floral wire for a stem.

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

If you want a simple, classic look, choose one sheet of in pink, red, or coral. For a two-toned rose, grab an additional sheet in a different shade. Some combinations that really pop are pink and ruby or orange and tangerine. For the main petals, cut a single 3.5 to 4 inches (8.9 to 10.2 cm) strip down the length of the tissue paper. Cut another 3.5 to 4 in (8.9 to 10.2 cm) strip for an optional accent color. Once you’ve created your stem, you can trim the floral wire as needed.


Select or create a non-abrasive cleaning solution. Apply the cleaning mixture with a non-abrasive applicator. Rinse away the cleaning solution and dry the surface with a towel.

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

For a general cleaning, fill a bucket with warm water and add a squirt of liquid detergent. Add more soap to your bucket if you think you’ll have a tough time cutting through stubborn dirt and grime.  Opt for non-abrasive cleaners such as dish and laundry detergents, household all-purpose cleaners, bathroom cleaners, or baking soda. Avoid abrasive cleaning products, such as scouring powders, since these can cause damage to your fiberglass bathtub or shower. Dunk a soft sponge in your bucket of warm soapy water and gently scrub the surface of your fiberglass shower or tub. If you don’t use a soft sponge, make sure that your applicator is made of nylon, polyester, or polyurethane. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, or scrapers because they will be too harsh on the fiberglass. Let the cleaning solution sit on your fiberglass surfaces for about an hour. Afterward, rinse the tub or shower thoroughly with warm, clean water and dry it with a hand towel.


Select or purchase your rollers. Dampen your hair. Section thicker hair Troubleshoot loose or non-sticking rollers. Piggyback two rollers per rolled segment for long or thick hair. Untangle and a pull free a segment of hair.

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

If you don't have a pack of velcro rollers of your own, you'll need to take a trip to your local drug store or beauty shop to pick some up. You may even be able to find some in the beauty section of your local grocery. Your velcro rollers will come in various sizes; you should select smaller sizes if you want more curl, or larger rollers for gentler curls.  Shorter hair will require smaller rollers. Depending on how short your hair is, you may only be able to get gentle waves due to your hair length. Longer hair works best for curling. Small rollers in long hair will create tighter ringlets, though you may need to use two rollers for hair that is especially long or thick. Large rollers shoulder length hair are excellent for creating volume, but these same rollers will create actual waves in longer hair. You'll need to adjust the size of roller you have to your hair length to create the effect you're going for. You may want to wash your hair before you curl, though this is not necessary. You can achieve excellent curls by dampening your hair with water from the faucet or a spray bottle. Damp hair will allow you to bring out more curl, and dry hair will create gentler waves.  If you decide to wash your hair beforehand, you'll want to dry excess moisture out of your hair with a towel, blow dryer, or by air drying until it is only damp. Volumizing product might be just what you need to bring out more pronounced curls. . For especially thick hair, it can be difficult to wind your hair in the rollers without first separating it into sections to make it more manageable. Less thick hair types can likely forego sectioning, and move straight into rolling. Extra thick hair will likely have to use rollers in many small sections to achieve a noticeable curl. You should not need pins or clips to secure the velcro rollers in place. If the roller is not grabbing your hair and is loose, it could be that you've wound too much hair on the roller. Unroll it and reduce the amount of hair in that segment. Try rolling again until...


Select paints designed specifically for silk. Prewash your silk Stretch your silk on a frame.

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

For best results, you should use silk paints rather than acrylic, oil, watercolor, or any other type of paint. Silk paints are available at craft stores as well as online. You could choose silk dye instead of paint, if desired. . It's important to wash your silk to allow for a smoother and more even application of paint. Read the garment tag to see if the item you're painting — say, a scarf — can go in the washing machine, and if not, wash it by hand. Either way, you should use Synthrapol, a silk detergent that can be found at fabric and craft stores. You can purchase or make stretcher bars to hold the silk in place. Make sure the fabric is evenly stretched, and is neither too tight nor too loose. If it's too loose, it will sag and the paint  will puddle, but if it's too tight, it may damage the fabric.


Select plywood. Get a polyurethane sealant. Set up a space to seal the boards outside. Follow the specific directions on the sealant. Get two pieces of 4x8 ft (1.2x2.4 m) plywood. Determine which sides will be your dance surface. Attach the plywood sheets to one another with a hinge. Consider adding rounded trim. Cut the trim to meet at the corners. Glue the trim to the dance floor. Nail the trim down.

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

Plywood comes in several different types of wood and thicknesses. The type of wood does not matter too much. A ¾ in (2 cm) thickness is ideal, especially if you live in an apartment and there are folks who live beneath you. If noise is not an issue, ½ in (1.3 cm) thick plywood will work. Plywood usually comes in 4x8 ft (1.2x2.4 m) boards. Two of these boards positioned side-by-side is usually ideal for a home dance floor. Sealing your dance floor will help make it much more resilient and help it last longer. You’ll apply sealant to the wood you’re using for the dance floor's surface  before assembling the dance floor.  Sealants are available at the hardware store or online. The easiest option is laying the boards down flat on a tarp.  If you have a couple saw horses, you can also position the board on the saw horses with a tarp on the ground to catch any dripping sealant. Most likely, you will be directed to sand the board, clean it with mineral spirits, apply a coat of the sealant with a brush, allow it to dry, and do it all again. Be sure to follow the directions of your sealant closely, as they will help ensure a good, smooth seal.  Apply three or four coats and sand the surface before each coat. Once a coat has dried, walk around the board and look at from several angles. Pay extra attention to any patches that aren’t shiny when applying the next layer. When assembled side by side, two sheets of plywood will make the perfect sized dance floor for home use in a carpeted room. If you want the dance floor to be lighter and a bit easier to move, have the hardware store cut each sheet down to 3.5x8 ft (1x2.4 m). Before fastening the boards to one another, inspect each side of your plywood boards. Position the boards on the floor with the side that will be the dancing surface facing down. The sides of the boards facing up will be the bottom of your dance floor, which will allow you to attach a hinge and fasten the two boards together. When positioned snugly side by side, the boards will make an 8x8 ft (2.4x2.4...


Select quality pencils with soft lead and hardwood shells. Keep the pencils in a soft but protective pencil case. Hold your pencils horizontally when you sharpen them.

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

Using quality pencils will help to make your drawings look sharper and will allow you to blend the colors more easily. These pencils are the best choice for all styles of drawing. Purchase colored pencils from a stationery store and look for a pack that is advertised as having “soft leads."  Soft lead pencils generally cost a little more than regular colored pencils, but you will notice the quality difference between the pencils. Good pencils range from $5-50, depending on how many colors you want to buy. These pencils are the best option for all skill levels. Hard leads can be frustrating to use because they break easily. The soft leads of quality pencils are easily snapped. Once a lead snaps in a pencil it is really hard to use, it as the lead will slip out as you are drawing. Keep your pencils in a soft case and always be careful not to drop them when you transport them. If you don’t have a soft pencil case, use a soft make-up bag instead. Place your pencil into the sharpener and check that it is straight before you twist it. It is important to make sure that the pencil isn’t on an angle, as this can cause it to sharpen unevenly and snap. Avoid sharpening your pencils with a craft knife, as this can damage the wood in the pencil.


Select several ripe avocados. Cut open the avocado and remove the skin and seed. Blend the pulp into a paste. Simmer the pulp over very low heat for about an hour. Scoop the mixture into a bowl and cover it with a muslin cloth. Squeeze the oil out of the cooked avocado through the cloth. Store your oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a year.

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

Look for avocados that are slightly soft or springy to the touch, but not mushy. You will be extracting the oil from the pulp of the avocado. Since 1 avocado will only yield about 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of oil or a little less, you will need a lot of avocados if you want a significant quantity of oil. Avocado oil has a lot of uses, including skin and hair care as well as cooking. Use a kitchen knife to cut through the skin and pulp of the avocado, cutting around the large pit in the middle. Carefully pull the 2 halves of the avocado apart, then scoop out the seed and peel off the skin.  You can either scoop the pit out with a spoon or twist it out with a sharp kitchen knife. To use a knife, push the sharp edge of the knife hard into the seed, then twist the knife 90°. The seed should pop out. Once you’ve removed the pulp, mash it up with a potato masher or mortar and pestle. Then, place the avocado in a blender and mix it into a creamy paste.   If you don’t have a blender, you can also use a cake batter mixer to blend the pulp. Add a little water if the pulp is too firm to blend easily. If you like, you can mix in a little bit of coconut oil at this point to help the avocado pulp release its oil more easily. If you used 12 avocados, put in about 1⁄3 cup (79 mL) of coconut oil. Place the blended avocado pulp in a large sauce pan over the lowest possible heat on your stove. Use a simmer setting, if you can. Simmer the pulp for 40 to 60 minutes, or until it changes from pale green to dark green or brown.   Stir the pulp frequently as it cooks, or it may stick to the sides of the pan and burn. You should begin to see the oil separating from the pulp and pooling at the top of the pan as you cook. Once your oil is cooked, pour it into a heat-safe container, such as a metal or ceramic bowl. Drape a clean kitchen cloth made of a fine material, such as muslin or cheesecloth, over the top of the bowl.  Since you will be squeezing the oil out of the cooked avocado pulp by hand, let the mixture sit for several minutes to...


Select shoes carefully. Match your belt to your shoes. Avoid matching your tie to your pocket square.

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

Brown suits should be paired with either brown or burgundy shoes. However, the particular shade of the shoes is important. There needs to be a distinct contrast between the color of your shoes and the color of your suit.  In general, look for a shade of brown or deep red that is darker than the color of your suit. Avoid pairing black shoes with a brown suit. This is one of the most well-known rules in suit fashion. It’s hard to beat a pair of rich mahogany wing-tips with a belt made from matching leather. Slight variations are acceptable, but wearing shoes and a belt of significantly different colors risks looking youthful or sloppy. If you’re planning to wear a pocket square with a brown suit, use it to compliment your tie, but don’t match it exactly. A well-chosen pocket square can make an outfit, especially if you’re able to complement colors from several other items. For instance, if you’re wearing a deep red tie on a white shirt, try a yellow pocket square to make your suit pop and provide contrast to the color of your tie.


Select smart substitutes for your favorite high calorie foods. Avoid going down grocery aisles that tempt you with high calorie foods. Stop drinking sugary drinks to save calories. Eat more of foods that fill you up. Calculate how many calories you can eat Keep a food diary Eat regular meals or snacks every 2-4 hours. Plan your meals around lean proteins and non-starchy vegetables. Eat smaller portions Identify your food triggers and plan accordingly.

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

Most foods have healthier counterparts that will allow you to enjoy your favorite foods without unnecessary fat, sugar, and calories. Exchanging high-calorie processed foods and drinks for healthier alternatives can help you lose weight faster.  Consider eating vegetarian a few days each week. By replacing meat with nutritious foods like beans, tofu, or lentils, you can cut significant amounts of your daily calorie intake while adding many nutrients to your diet. Eat delicious fruit for dessert rather than a processed cookie or cake. Swap potato chips and candy bars for snacks that are nutrient-rich and low in calories and fat. Try combining string cheese with a handful of grapes, spreading peanut butter on a few crackers, or dipping sliced red pepper into a few tablespoons of hummus. Try substituting vinegar and lemon juice for your regular salad dressing. Cook with a tablespoon of olive oil instead of butter. It has the same number of calories, but it is a healthier type of fat. It’s best to stay along the perimeter of the grocery store, which is where the fresh foods are typically located. However, when you need to go down the aisles to get something, try to stay away from areas where foods you crave are stocked, such as the candy or soda aisle. If you don’t see them, you’re less likely to be tempted. You don’t want to ban foods you love, but keeping them in your home makes it likely you’ll indulge. Don’t stock “junk” food in your home. Instead, make it a rare treat. Sugar-sweetened drinks can quickly add extra calories to your diet, so it’s best to cut them out. Eliminate sugary soda, sweetened tea and coffee, and juice from your diet. Instead, sip on water, tea, black coffee or seltzer. Drinking water or unsweet tea instead of soda, coffee, alcohol, juice, or milk may help you cut hundreds of calories per day. Some foods help you feel full faster and may help you stay fuller longer. Many of these foods contain protein, fat, or fiber. However, foods that help keep your blood sugar stable are also great...


Select spinners for success. Corral your catch with winged bobbers. Employ Kiwi fish or Flatfish lures. Fish with plug cut herring.

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

Spinners are a kind of lure that have metal blades that spin while the lure is moving through the water. This causes the lure to catch the light, creating a flash similar to the scales of a real fish in addition to giving more realistic movement to your lure. Spinners have four basic designs:   Standard inline, where the blades of your spinner will revolve around a straight wire.  Spinnerbaits, which have a design closer to that of an open safety pin and will come with lead molded to the lower arm and the spinning part attached to an upper arm.  Buzzbaits have a special propeller shaped spinner to raise your bait to the surface. This is likely not an ideal lure for salmon fishing.  Live bait spinners position the spinner in front of hooks intended for live bait, like night crawlers or minnows. These are considered to be a staple for bank anglers. In addition, these lures can add some buoyancy to your setup, which can help with snags. Size zero is recommended for spring Chinook salmon, as these fish are quite large, and spin-and-glow lures are effective for boat fishing, though some fishers report having better luck with spin-and-glow lures from shore. These are a specific brand of lure, currently very popular among Chinook salmon fishers for sizes ranging from K14 - K16. Many anglers wrap Kwikfish lures with a sardine to increase effectiveness. This can be accomplished by:  Cutting a rectangular piece of meat from a bait sardine and attaching the meat to the bottom of the lure. You should be sure that the skin of your bait goes against your lure. You should consider changing your wraps regularly; some veteran anglers recommend doing so approximately ever 45 minutes, though your bait should hold up, with reduced effectiveness, for as many as 3 hours. "Plug-cut" is a kind of bait preparation that has the head sliced off. Herring, in particular the plug-cut, is considered the tried-and-true lure of preference for lower Columbia, CA, for salmon fishing, though success is also reported with whole herring. Some...

Select the airbrush. Use an appropriate air source. Choose your paint. Load the paint. Attach the airbrush to the air source.

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

The best airbrush to use, especially as a novice, will be a dual action, internal-mix airbrush with a bottom feed.  When using a dual-action airbrush, you will press the switch down to draw air and pull it back to spray paint.  Internal-mix airbrushes introduce the paint directly into the center of the air stream, creating an even spray of paint. With a bottom feeding airbrush, moderately sized jars of paint are positioned to the side or bottom of the brush. The airbrush will draw paint directly from these jars as you work. You will need to use an air source that can provide a steady, consistent stream of air at 60 psi. Typically, this will be either a CO2 tank or a commercial air compressor. Compressors marketed for airbrushing purposes will work for the most part, but professional grade compressors will produce even better results. Select pre-reduced fabric paint for this project. This paint is water-soluble and will need to be set with heat if you want the design to remain after the shirt gets washed.  Use a limited palette of colors, especially while you're a beginner. Note that you will need to use a separate jar for each color of paint. Fill an empty, clean airbrush jar with enough paint for your project, then screw the jar onto the airbrush.  Start with the first color you intend to use. If you want to use more than one color, prepare the jars of paint in advance and swap out as needed while airbrushing the design. If you plan to mix colors, you should make sure that you have made enough for the entire project. Attempting to mix more later may create slight differences in shade. Turn on the compressor and attach the airbrush using an appropriate hose.  Turning the compressor on first will give the machine more time to build up the right amount of pressure. After the pressure builds up, adjust the regulator as needed to get it to 60 psi. Attach the compressor air hose to the airbrush using the attached coupling. If necessary, wrap Teflon tape around the coupling to create an airtight seal. Introduce air...


Select the appropriate Advantix dosage for your dog. Remove the tube of Advantix from its packaging. Remove the cap from the tube.

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

Advantix is not a ‘one size fits all’ treatment, so you will need to make sure that you choose the correct dosage. Advantix comes in four dosage levels according to a dog’s weight. If you do not know your dog’s weight, contact your veterinarian or refer to the paperwork from your dog’s most recent veterinary visit.  Advantix comes in packs of four or six.  Small dogs (4 to 10 pounds) – 0.4 milliliters (mL)   Medium dogs (11 to 20 pounds) – 1.0 mL  Large dogs (21 to 55 pounds) – 2.5 mL  Extra-large dogs (over 55 pounds) – 5.0 mL You can either separate and peel the foil down with your fingers or use scissors to open the foil packaging. Using scissors may be easier and quicker. There is a specific way to remove the cap so that you can dispense the Advantix from the tube; it is not as simple as just twisting off the cap and squeezing out the product. First, make sure that you are holding the tube in the upright position. Next, remove the cap, turn it upside down, and put it back on the tube.  Placing the upside-down cap back on the tube will break the seal on the top of the tube, allowing you to squeeze out the Advantix.  When you see that the seal has broken, remove the cap from the tube and lace it to the side.


Select the appropriate pack of Advantage for cats. Remove the tube from the pouch. Remove the cap. Open the tube.

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

Advantage for cats comes in packs of four or six, and is divided into three weight categories: under 5 pounds (kittens), five to nine pounds (small cats), and over nine pounds (large cats). Advantage for kittens is available in packs of four, and Advantage for small and large cats is available in packs of four or six.  If you are unsure of cat’s weight, weigh them or look at the medical report from their most recent veterinary visit. Advantage should  not  be applied to kittens under two pounds, or cats less than eight weeks old. Slide the tube down to the bottom of the pouch, if it is not already there. Next, use scissors to open the top of the pouch. Remove one tube from the pouch. Use only one tube per application of Advantage. Opening the tube of Advantage is not as simple as just untwisting the cap.  First, using the thumb and index finger of your non-dominant hand, hold the tube upright and away from you and your cat’s eyes and face. Then, use your dominant hand to untwist the cap. Invert the cap and push it back on top of the tube. To break the seal on the tube, twist the cap. After the seal is broken, remove the cap and place it to the side.


Select the breeding aquarium. Set up the nursery aquarium. Check your tank for proper filtration. Decorate your tank. Add some resilient plants to your tank. Enhance your aquarium with some driftwood. Give your fish clean water. Raise the water temperature in your tank. Check the pH level.

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

Buy a semi-large fish tank, at least 20 gallons (75.7 L). A 30-gallon tank is ideal for one pair of breeding convicts. If you have the space, a 40-gallon breeder tank is ideal, especially if you’re planning to breed more than one pair of convict cichlids. Make sure that you don’t exceed more than one breeding pair per 20 gallons (75.7 L) of water. This will help to prevent aggression between breeding pairs of fish. You may want to consider setting up a separate smaller tank to put the fry in once they’ve begun to mature, in order to protect them from getting eaten by their parents. This tank can be between 5 to 10 gallons (18.9 to 37.9 L) in capacity. Use a sponge filter and an aquarium heater in this nursery tank. New baby fish (also known as fry) are going to constantly be born in your tank, so the bio-load on your aquarium will begin to be strained. Bio-load is a term which refers to the accumulated waste produced by your fish, which places demand on your aquarium’s filtration system. You’ll need a power filter which has the capacity to filter at least double the volume of your tank. If you have a 30-gallon tank, choose a filter that can clean at least 60 gallons (230 L) per hour. Because convict cichlids can be a naturally aggressive fish, you will want to provide plenty of hiding places in your tank. Add some flat stones and a cave (or flowerpot) or two to the tank. The convicts will lay their eggs on the flat stones, and the caves will provide shelter to the fry once they are born. You may choose to add some hardier plants such as the java fern or Amazonian sword plant to the tank to add some decoration and make the fish feel more at home in their environment. Most other plants will be uprooted or destroyed by the convicts. Adding plants to your aquarium will also improve the oxygen content of your tank and remove the carbon dioxide and nitrogen that your fish generate. This helps to make your tank a healthier environment for your convicts, and helps to reduce the strain on your filtration system....


Select the cell where you want the truncated text to appear. Type the MID formula into your selected cell. Press Enter when the formula is complete.

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

This cell must be different than the cell in which your target text appears. If you haven't already added your data to Excel, you'll need to do so first. MID chops characters off of the beginning and end of your selected cell's text. To set up the MID formula, you type "=MID(Cell Name, Starting Character Number, Number of characters to display)" without the quotation marks. For example:   =MID(A1, 3, 3) displays three characters from cell A1, the first of which is the third character from the left in the text. If A1's text says "racecar", the truncated text will read "cec" in your selected cell. Similarly, =MID(B3, 4, 8) displays eight characters from cell B3, starting with the fourth character from the left. If B3's text says "bananas aren't people", the truncated text will read "anas are" in your selected cell. This will add the truncated text to your selected cell.


Select the chips. Choose the chocolate.

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

You can use plain chips with no added flavoring, or choose your favorite flavoring for something unusual, such as chili or sour cream and chives.  Potato chips aren't the only choice––you might also like to try sweet potato, cassava, beetroot, etc. chips. Whether the chips are smooth or ridged is up to you. Both types work fine. Milk, dark or white chocolate are all appropriate for covering the chips. Select the one you like the most.


Select the color of your clothing based on your needs. Layer bright colors over your neutrals. Wear material that is better at coping with sweat.

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

Some colors show sweat stains more rapidly than others, such as gray or light colors. Other colors are more forgiving and do a better job of hiding the stains, such as navy blue and black. Surprisingly enough, some shades of white can hide sweat, while others show it up––this requires some at-home experimentation. If you want to wear colors, think about choosing jackets and sweaters in the brighter colors or your choice. Unfortunately, bright colors are some of the worst for showing sweat stains. Stay away from synthetic fibers like rayon and polyester. Choose natural materials like cotton or linen instead. These fabrics will help your skin breathe in a way that synthetics can’t. There are even new fabrics being developed that completely wick away sweat. Figure out what works best for you.

Select the fabric you would like to use for your bow. Decide how you want to fasten the ribbon in your hair.

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

Some great fabrics to use would be satin, velvet, nylon, cotton, vinyl, or grosgrain. You can choose whichever material you like best.  Consider how stiff you want your bow to be when picking out the ribbon. If you want your bow to pop-up, use a firmer material like grosgrain or vinyl. There are many types of hair clips, ties, and headbands available, and ribbon can be attached to almost all of them. All you will need to attach your ribbon to your hair accessory is a hot glue gun or fabric glue.

Select the ingredients you wish to reduce. Discard excess liquid before beginning. Boil your liquid, then reduce heat to a simmer. Don’t cover the pan. Monitor your reduction closely if it requires a small amount of liquid to start. Use the starting level of your reduction to track how much it has reduced.

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

Some reductions require only one ingredient.  Nape, for instance, is a reduction of red wine.  Other reductions like gravy will require multiple ingredients such as salt, spices, flour, and milk or water.  There’s no one right way to decide what ingredients you want to reduce.  You can reduce any liquid you want in cooking. If you’re unsure of what you want to reduce, just wait until you encounter a recipe that requires a reduction and follow the directions. Anything with a high moisture content can be reduced, including soups, alcohol, and dairy beverages. If you want 2 cups (473 milliliters) of sauce, there’s no need to start with 2 litres (0.53 US gal) of liquid.  Generally, you can start your reduction with about 1.5 to 2 times your desired volume of liquid.  For instance, if you want 2 cups (473 milliliters) of a particular sauce, start your reduction with 3 or 4 cups (709 to 946 milliliters) of liquid. The precise amount of liquid you’ll need to reduce in order to achieve a sauce with the consistency you wish depends on the contents of the liquid you reduce, as well as the conditions under which you reduce it. If you continue to boil your ingredients, it might burn or stick to the sides of the pan.  Excess heat might also cause the sauce to reduce too quickly or leave it with a bitter taste. The purpose of a reduction is to allow excess liquid to evaporate.  If you cover the pan, evaporation becomes impossible. Place the lid to the side of the pan so that you’ll be prepared to cover the reduction when it reaches your desired consistency. Some reductions take a long time and won’t need a lot of attention while they bubble away.  Others, however, reduce quite quickly.  If you’re reducing less than 1 cup (236 milliliters) of liquid, stand by and keep an eye on it as it reduces.  The precise amount of time necessary to achieve a reduction with your desired consistency depends on the type of liquid you’re reducing, the volume of liquid you begin with, and the conditions under which you cook it.

Select the item or items you no longer want. Log in to your local Freecycle group. Write a short and clear description of the item. Upload the description. Reply to the person you'd like to collect the item. Expect the person to arrive. State that the item has been Taken when it has been picked up.

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

Almost anything can be offered. Old windows, rocks, dirt, cabinets, clothes, pets, old magazines, even kitchen sinks! No item is too big or too small-crafters can use small broken jewelry, junkers will take big old pieces of metal from the back of the farm...  If the site allows images, consider uploading one but this is optional. If the item has anything you think people should be aware of, include this. For example, you might want to point out if the item needs a good dust, clean or needs repair, etc.  Note that the following things are often not permitted as part of an Offer post: Phone numbers, requests for borrowing/lending, web links, public notices, urgent/desperate calls for help, fundraising events, general questions, etc. This will vary depending on your location. Freecycle is not a place for bartering, exchanging, making deals or borrowing. Freebies must come with no strings attached. Then wait for requests. These are likely to begin quickly, as some people watch the new items being listed all the time. Some things to bear in mind: It's a good idea to wait for a few emails to arrive. That way, you can make a choice as to who will gain the freebie from the way they've asked for it. There is no rule that says you have to accept the first person's request. Go with the reply you feel is right. Provide your address and any quirks about getting to your place. Offer a phone number in case they get lost. And ask them to let you know when they can make it. If you're in a hurry to offload the item, stress this. If the person fails to come, make up your mind whether you'll keep it for them or pass it on to another person who requested it. This is a freebie, so there is no need to keep it back if the person collecting fails to show up. This alerts others on the list that they won't be able to ask for it any longer.


Select the layer you want to flip. Enter "Free-Transform Mode" to manipulate the image. Right click on the Free-Transformed image to open up the flip options. Hit "Enter" to make the free transformation stay.

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

You can either flip the entire canvas or individual layers, so isolate whatever you wanted to flip into its own layer. If it already is, simply select the layer in the layers panel. This puts a box around the element that allows you to rotate, stretch, shrink, and twist the image. To get to free transform, you can:  Select "Edit" from the top bar, then "Free Transform." With the right layer selected, press Ctrl+T for PCs or ⌘ Cmd+T At the bottom of the menu are the options to "Flip Horizontally" or "Flip Vertically." Choose the one you want to flip the image:  Horizontal flips switch the right and left side of the image. Vertical flips switch the top and bottom of the image. Once you're happy with the transformation, you can hit enter to set the image how you've edited it. You can also double-click inside the transformation box to end it.


Select the material that best suits your rose. Cut a long piece of wire to about 10 to 12 inches (25.4 cm). Tear off a piece of duct tape long enough to cover the stem. Cut a strip of duct tape about four inches (10.16 cm) long. Pinch the base of the leaf. Attach the leaves to the stem. Attach your rose petals to the stem in the methods mentioned in the earlier sections. Secure the rose on the stem with a small piece of tape under the stem.

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

Craft sticks are sturdier, but wires allow more flexibility in the stem and the leaves.  If you are creating a heavier rose, such as in method two, you might want to opt for the craft stick. But if your rose is smaller with fewer petals, such as the “simple rose,” then the wire will do just fine. If you are using a craft stick, use the longest craft stick you can find. Or, tape two together. Put two sticks next to each other with about 2 cm (0.787 inches) overlapping. Then, put a small piece of duct tape less than two inches (5.08 cm) over it to secure it. You can cover the seam later. To make it look more natural, cut one of the craft sticks to about 2 inches. Then, overlap them and tape them together in the method previously mentioned. So, if your wire is 10 inches, rip off at least that much. Placing the upper left corner of the tape at a diagonal wrap the duct tape around the wire.The seams should be diagonal as you wrap them around the stem. Use the same method for the craft stick. Rip off enough duct tape to cover your stem and wrap it. Fold it over on itself. Then, cut a leaf shape. The shape should be an oval shape with a point at the top and the bottom, which is a  typical leaf form. If you need assistance, use a template online. When you do this, the sides of the leaf should curl and the point should fold over on itself. With a small piece of tape about an inch (2.54 cm) long and a centimeter (0.393 cm) wide, wrap tape vertically around the base of the leaf so that it remains curved like when you pinched it. This effect makes the leaf look more real. Cut four more leaf shapes and fasten their bottoms with thin strips of duct tape as previously mentioned. Place a leaf with the folded part facing the stem of the rose against the wrapped wire or stick. Then wrap a skinny piece of tape about an inch (2.54 cm) long and a centimeter (0.393 cm) wide along the stem to secure it.  If you have used two craft sticks taped together, place a leaf over the seam where the two sticks overlap and secure it with a...


Select the object you want to add a drop shadow to. Click the Filters menu and select "Light and Shadow" → "Drop Shadow". Adjust your drop shadow offset. Adjust the blur radius. Change the drop shadow's color. Adjust the opacity of the shadow. Decide if you want to allow resizing. Apply the settings. Undo your last action if the drop shadow is unsatisfactory. Open the drop shadow tool again to apply a new drop shadow. Move the shadow.

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

You can add a drop shadow to virtually anything, but it works best with large, bold text and basic shapes. The simple lines will provide the clearest shadows and make the image stand out more.  To make an entire image pop out, select the whole image to add a drop shadow around the border. To select text, click the Text layer in your Layers window. Your text should be a large size with a thick font for a well-defined drop shadow effect. Use the Selection tools to select any shape or section of your image you want to add the drop shadow to. This will open the Drop Shadow tool. Sometimes this window will open behind your other GIMP windows. You'll see several options for adjusting your drop shadow settings. The drop shadow tool will automatically offset the shadow by four pixels to the right and below the selected object. These default settings will provide a subtle shadow with the light source appearing to come from the upper-left of the selected object.  Increasing the "Offset X" value will move the shadow to the right by the number of pixels entered. Using a negative number will move the shadow to the left instead. Increasing the "Offset Y" value will move the shadow down by the number of pixels entered. Using a negative number will move the shadow up instead. The shadow's blur radius will change how large and fuzzy the shadow appears. A large blur radius will extend the shadow but the blur will stretch out with it. The blur radius is measured in pixels. You can change the drop shadow color to any color you'd like by clicking the current color. A black drop shadow is the most common and least jarring if you don't want it to stand out. The default opacity for the drop shadow is 60%. Increasing this will result in a bolder shadow, while decreasing it will make the shadow fainter. This option is most important when you are adding a drop shadow around the border of the entire image. Without this option checked, the drop shadow would appear outside of the bounds of the image canvas. Enabling "Allow resizing" will...


Select the recipe you’d like to use. Add gum arabic. Add cornstarch. Add vinegar. Add thyme essential oil. Let it steep again.

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

In order for your tea to be transformed into usable ink, you need to thicken the liquid. There are two schools of thought when it comes to thickening agents. Gum arabic is the more popular choice for ink recipes, although it may be harder for you to find. Another option is cornstarch, which may be slightly less effective, but you may have it in your cupboard at home. If you have elected to use gum arabic, using your measuring spoon, measure out 1 tsp. of gum arabic. Add this to your hot water and stir to combine. If you have chosen to use cornstarch instead of gum arabic, there is no specific measurement to follow. Begin by adding 2 tsp. of cornstarch to your hot tea and stirring vigorously. Continue to add 1 tsp. at a time until the ink reaches a nice, thick consistency. The addition of 1 tbsp. of white vinegar to your recipe works to fix the ink and create a stable, uniform color. If you have vinegar at home, consider adding this optional ingredient. Simply measure out 1 tbsp. of white vinegar, and add this to your tea, after the addition of a thickening agent. Stir well. Another optional addition is that of thyme essential oil. Thyme essential oil prevents the growth of mold in your ink. If you intend to bottle your ink and to save it for a while, this may be an important addition. Essential oils can be found at most health food stores. (They tend to be a bit pricey, but will last you for a very long time). Allow your concoction to steep for 15-20 minutes. Leaving it to simmer on very low heat may result in a deeper hue. Set a timer and watch your tea darken and transform.
