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

Common examples of appliques include fabric patches, rhinestones, embroidery letters, or any other small decoration that can be ironed or sewed onto fabric. Fabric patches are a great way to use your schoolbag to express your personality. Consider adding patches from your favorite bands, or from places you have traveled to. If you don't sew, most patches can be applied by ironing them on or using fabric glue. Many fabric patches can be attached using an iron or with fabric craft glue. While these methods are not as secure as sewing, they are much easier and less time-consuming. Simply place the patch in the desired location on the bag and cover with a thin cloth.  Make sure the iron is turned on and set to "dry" (not steam) at low to mid heat. Slowly press down on the patch with the iron in an up and down motion (do not move back and forth) for 30 to 40 seconds. Make sure pressure is applied firmly and evenly. Finally, turn the school bag inside out and iron the opposite side for 20 to 30 seconds to reinforce the patch. Once the patch has cooled, slide your finger around the edges to make sure it is secure. Repeat ironing if needed. Sewn on patches are usually more secure and less likely to fall off in the wash than ones that are ironed or glued on.  Place the patch in desired location. Use a safety pin or straight pin to hold in place. Alternatively, you can secure the patch before sewing by using a brush to apply a thin, even coat of fabric craft glue to the back. Place patch in desired location and smooth out edges. Allow to dry for at least 1 hour before sewing. Once the patch is secured, set machine to make a tight stitch and sew around the periphery. If possible, use a multi-stitch zig zag setting to create a strong, tight stitch. If you do not have access to, or do not know how to use a sewing machine, you can sew on patches by hand. All you need is a needle, some thread, and a straight pin or fabric glue. This may be more time consuming and your stitches will not be as even, but it is just as...

Prescription medications such as steroid hormones may be used to increase the...

Find inexpensive foods that are filling. Try shopping at discount stores, ethnic markets, and farmers markets. Look into emergency food assistance programs.

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

Foods that are high in fiber and protein are very filling, and often very inexpensive.  Rice and other whole grains are very cheap and can keep you feeling full for longer periods. Canned or dried beans are very healthy sources of fiber and protein. Bagged, dried beans or canned beans often cost less than a dollar at the supermarket.

These establishments often have better prices that will allow you to stretch a small budget.   Indian and Mexican cuisine often feature ingredients like rice and beans. These items are even cheaper at ethnic markets. Discount food stores often feature very cheap prices on canned and frozen foods. Fresh produce can be hard to come by when you are on a budget. Visit a local farmers' market towards the end of the day. It is easier to find bargains on fresh produce just before closing as the vendors are trying to unload any surplus. These programs can help you find immediate relief during a food shortage as well as long term assistance.

Find jicama. Peel the jicama’s Cut the jicama

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

You may or may not find jicama at your local grocery store or farmer’s market -- it depends upon your location. General grocery stores are more likely to carry jicama in areas with sizable Hispanic or South Asian populations.  If your local grocery store doesn't carry jicama, your best bet is specialty produce shops or Mexican, Asian, and Latin American grocery stores. You are most likely to find jicama in the spring and summer, as they are often imported from Central American countries at that time. Avoid tubers that are soft, shriveled, or have dark spots. skin. You need to peel the skin of the jicama before you eat it.  It might be hard to peel with a regular vegetable peeler. Do not eat the peel.  Instead, try using a chef’s knife. First, cut a thin slice from both the top and the bottom to create a flat top and flat bottom on each end. Before you peel the jicama, though, wash it in cool running water and then dry it off like you would a potato. Set the jicama down on its broadest cut end. Work from top to bottom, and slide your knife beneath the jicama’s skin. Peel it while following the jicama’s natural lines. . After you peel the jicama, place it down on its widest cut end, and make even, vertical cuts in it. Then cut these pieces into sticks. Dice the sticks by cutting across them.

Find landlords amenable to your situation. Be honest up front. Make a good impression. Provide personal references.

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

While many landlords immediately pass over people who have been evicted, there are many others who will still rent as long as the person has presented a convincing case.  It can be difficult to make contact with these lenient landlords, and it's disheartening to get turned down over and over before you finally find someone who will consider renting to you. Here are a few ways to find landlords who will listen:  When you're browsing Craigslist.com and other apartment classifieds, look for apartments that don't require credit reports or background checks. Many individuals renting or subletting apartments don't conduct these checks. Ask your friends and family if they know anyone who would be open to renting to you. Word of mouth is a good way to find a new landlord, and if your friends and family know the person and can vouch for you, all the better. Consider using an apartment brokerage.  Explain your situation and apartment preferences so that they only put you in touch with landlords willing to rent to people who have been evicted. This way you won't have to go through the headache of getting turned down. Keep in mind that you will have to pay a fee if you choose this method. You could also rent an apartment from a large rental agency, or in a large apartment community where there may be less restrictive guidelines for screening tenants. Your eviction is going to come to light if the landlord requires a background check or credit report, so lying or evading the issue is only going to make it worse. When the potential landlord asks you about your rental history, it's important that you bring this up. Tell the landlord what happened in a straightforward, concise way. Make it clear that you've paid your debts and done your best to put this situation behind you.  Provide an explanation for the situation, if possible. For example, tell the property owner that you went through a period of unemployment, a divorce, or other life-changing situation that may be reflected on your credit history. Avoid trashing your old...


Find landmarks that you want to visit. Look up special events that you want to partake in. Research and discover different restaurants along your route. Leave room in your schedule to make surprise stops.

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

Think of places that you've wanted to see that run along your route, and see if you can include it into your cross country plan. Good things to see include art installations, national parks, museums, landmarks, and historic sites. Include these things into your travel plans. Landmarks include Machu Picchu in Peru, St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City, and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in the United States. You can visit festivals and shows that take place once a year. Do an online search for music or art events that are going on across your country and see when they are happening. If you can be in the right location at the right time, you'll be able to partake in the event. Some special events that you can visit include Carnival in Brazil, Boryeong Mud Festival in South Korea, Burning Man in the United States, and the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival in China. Different regions contain different food preferences and unique cuisines. Search for highly rated restaurants in the areas where you'll be staying. Plan to stop and eat in different areas of the country so that you can try a diversity of food while you're traveling. If you want a more authentic experience, avoid large chains and fast food.  For instance, in the United States, New England is known for their hearty dishes like pot roast, baked beans, and lobster, while the South is known for fried chicken, barbecue, and soul food. If traveling across the United Kingdom, you can try haggis in Scotland, pea pudding in Northumberland, and scouse, a lamb stew, in Liverpool. While it's good to plan, it's also important that you leave space in your schedule so you can adapt to what happens on the trip. You shouldn't turn down unique or fun experiences like visiting roadside attractions or specialty stores. If you are traveling and you see signs for special stores or attractions, you can amend your original plan to find something unique.  Pick one or two must-see locations, and be flexible when it comes to the rest of your stops. Famous roadside...


Find little ways to make them feel great. Be open. Show them that you love them. Be supportive. Put the "man" back in romance.

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

It's funny because, often, the smallest things find a way to nourish a relationship. Ask yourself, what can I do to make my partner even happier? It doesn't have to be earth-shattering to be effective. It's the thought behind it, and the emotion in it, that's the real gift:  Work on having a better relationship with your in-laws. Few things are more important for your partner than you having a relationship with their parents. You probably don't see your in-laws every day, but that undersells the importance of the goal: ultimately, they want you to love them like you love your parents. Does your spouse really care about charity? Invest in a microloan in their name, and give it to them as a present. They are now the proud beneficiary of someone else's opportunity. Do things around the house that they normally don't enjoy. If your spouse hates doing the dishes, for example, make them a little "get out dishes free" card, good for a week without dish-duty. It might seem weird, but being open with your spouse is indeed a sign of affection: it shows them that you trust them and, more importantly, that you enjoy being intimate with them emotionally. Being open will reassure them that you're taking that step for them. Why did you marry them in the first place? Express to them why you love and how they make you feel everyday. Do this often. It will lead to good habits, promote more love and affection in your marriage, and reduce amounts of stress.  Write a short handwritten letter. Put it underneath their pillow; as you kiss them goodbye in the morning, tell them to check underneath the pillow. The note could say something like: "Every day I'm with you, I learn even more about how impossibly lucky I am. I love you."  Come up behind them when they know that you're in the same room and give them a heartfelt kiss on the neck while wrapping your arms around them. It'll make their heart melt. Make your own romantic fortune cookie. Find a way to slip a personalized fortune into a fortune cookie your spouse breaks open. Have...


Find local restaurants with patio dining. Check the weather. Hang out and enjoy the atmosphere. Try farm-to-table meals.

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

Many restaurants offer patio dining, particularly if you live in an area with nice weather. If you're not sure what restaurants in your area offer it, call around or search online to see if you can find any. Also, keep your eyes peeled when you're out and about. You're sure to notice some restaurants with a patio. You obviously don't want to eat outside when it's too hot or too cold. However, you also want to keep an eye out for storms and high winds, which will make dining al fresco no fun at all. It's a good idea to call ahead to the restaurant, as many restaurants won't seat on the patio in bad weather. One of the big pluses of dining al fresco is to have a leisurely meal where you linger over drinks or coffee at the end. Take the time to really enjoy being outside. Many local farmer's markets are now offering produce-inspired one-off meals. You dine outside with neighbors and others from your community as you enjoy the fresh produce from local farms. Check at your local farmer's market to see if they offer this type of event.


Find motivation. Set small, specific goals. Develop a clear system for organizing items. Use the OHIO principle when sorting items. Get help from an objective third party.

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

Overcoming an anxiety condition like hoarding requires continued commitment. So, before you make a plan to start clearing out your spaces, you first need to get really motivated about doing so. Getting motivated can help you stay consistent in your plans when the urge strikes to fall back into your old patterns.  Make a list of strong reasons you want to stop hoarding, like “I want to be able to entertain guests in my home” or “I want to be able to easily find things in my living space.” Review this list regularly when you start to second-guess your decision to change. You may get a sporadic burst of motivation and want to do it all at once, but this won't lead to lasting change. The trick to truly getting over your hoarding is taking baby steps.  For example, if you have a large, expansive goal like “clean the house” it may be hard to measure when you’re actually done. In the end, your motivation may fade and you’ll be back at square one. Instead, set a small, clear goal like “Clear away three boxes.” With such a goal, it will be easy to know when you have completed it. You can also set a time-based goal, such as “I will work for one hour each day to clear clutter.” One of the most common problems for hoarders is having difficulty organizing. Decide on how you will categorize the different items in your home, typically by item type or its desired location (e.g. kitchen, living room, etc.).  In each space that you clear, decide on a few “outcome” piles, such as items to donate, sell, trash, recycle, or keep. Work on one area at a time until it is clear. Avoid moving items from one area to another. To get more organizing tips, visit http://hoardingcleanup.com/chat_room. As your motivation to change may wax and wane, you will need a firm system to prevent you from holding on to items you have chosen to get rid of. You can prevent this by following the OHIO principle, which means Only Handle It Once.   Each item that you touch should be immediately sorted into a location and an outcome pile. That way, you can’t...


Find music retailers. Get a digital music distribution deal with a retailer. Read your music vending contract.

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

A number of accessible venues offer parking for pay-per-tune song vending. The biggest and most recognized is iTunes, but with research, beginning musicians may be able to find smaller online music vendors such as ADED.US Music Distribution, SongCast, Getonic, Tunecore, CD Baby and more.  Many of these vendors offer different terms, perks, benefits, etc. Make sure you shop around before deciding on which venue to use for your music. Make sure you are eligible for the service. You may not be able to sign up in India for a service that only works in the United States, for example. Many major digital retailers such as iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and Google Play do not usually do direct deals with independent artists. So, in order to sell you music on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Google Play, etc., you will need to establish a digital music distribution deal with a digital music company that specializes in distributing music for indie musicians. These music distribution companies are referred to as aggregators. Essentially, these are music distribution companies that have direct contracts with the various digital retail stores for music. Most of the online sites offer equitable deals, but be sure to read all details of an agreement to make sure you like the terms.  Keep an eye on things like royalty collection, which will detail how much money the company will pay you for selling your music. For example, a site like CD Baby takes $4 for each CD or record, and 9% of all digital music sales. There are sometimes premium and free versions of a service, and they could offer different rates. ADED.US Music Distribution offers 12 distribution credits whereas most music distributors distribute one project for one fee. CD Baby has a premium service, described above, as well as a free service, which keeps 15% of your download revenues. If you're not making a lot of money, it might be best to stick with a free account like this one.


Find musicians. Pick your genre(s). Nail down your look.

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

Your band could just be you, but you'll want to split fuel costs with someone when you start touring, right? Typically, for a rock band, you will need at least one guitarist, one bassist, one keyboardist/pianist, and a drummer -- the lead singer can either play an instrument or not. Of course, this all depends on what type of band you plan to be, and what kind of music you will play. Just play what you think sounds or feels right.  The internet is beginning to offer several places to find band mates such as Band-mix and Whosdoing. If you don't have mates that are excited to jump on board, use these resources. Facebook works for just about everything, too.  Put up ads in cafes, music shops, and even in your car window if you're feeling gutsy. Where does your type hang out? Go there. Open mic nights? Yes. Pubs or clubs? Check. Don't use just one; use as many as you can so your chances are better.  It helps if these musicians have some musical education. At the very least, someone needs to in order to provide a voice of reason that others may not be able to provide. It is not always important to choose the "best" players.  In many cases, bands of musicians who get along, are easy going, and willing to learn to play together will sound better than bands comprised of very good musicians with big egos. If you can't all agree on one genre, play a bit of two (or three?) or mix together and create your own genre. Have everyone bring a mix CD of their favorite music. Listen to each one and you can get an idea of what everyone likes. All of these styles of music will influence where you record and gig as a band. If you are in a rock band then you are going to be playing very different venues to a classical music band. Does anyone have songs they've already written? Great! How does the band sound playing them? Most importantly, pick songs you play well and that your singer sounds good singing. Try many different, simple songs in the beginning and see what fits the musicians likes and abilities. Now that you have your...


Find new music. Catch up on your reading. Learn a new skill.

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

Stuck in a rut listening to the same music and every day? Get on Spotify and explore. Type in an artist you like and look at the similar artists listed. Allow yourself to get lost in the music wonderland. After the work or school day, opening a book might be the last thing you want to do to relax. But as Dr. Seuss said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”  After you’ve had Friday to recover from the week, Saturday night is the perfect time to crack open that book you’ve had sitting on your nightstand. It can be intimidating to be a beginner, which might be why you haven’t tried drawing, even though you’ve wanted to learn for a long time. If there’s a skill that’s been nagging at you to learn it, give it a try. Trying something new can increase your creativity and your confidence.  Of course you will make mistakes—that’s part of learning. When you regain your footing after messing up, you will become more and more courageous in trying something new.

Pay attention to your breathing, how each part of your body feels, and what you can hear, see, smell, and taste....


Find or buy a black/dark top. Look for black jeans or dark cargo pants. Find a plain brown belt. Look for knee-high brown boots. Buy a brown leather jacket or a black windbreaker.

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

It’s likely you already have a black T-shirt as part of your wardrobe at home. However, if you don’t or need to buy a new one, you can find them in most stores. For example, H&M has crew neck t-shirts for around $10, and Target’s Merona brand has them for $9. If you are looking to mirror Katniss’ hunting outfit, go for a crew neck or scoop neckT-shirt. If you want to mimic her outfit from the games, though, try to find a v-neck. Throughout most of the movies Katniss sticks to dark colored clothing - mainly blacks and browns. While her hunting outfit is black pants or leggings, during the games she wears dark brown cargo pants. It’s up to you which way you'd like to go.  You can find black jeans or jeggings from most stores, though the prices will vary. For example, a nice pair of SEO Sateen X Jeggings from American Eagle will cost you almost $50, while a similar pair from Target is only $20. Cargo pants, while also available at most stores, will be a bit more expensive. Try a pair like the Sonoma Life & Style Straight Leg Utility pants from Kohl’s.  You can also try a pair of dark green pants if you can't find black or brown ones. This should be a belt with a thick band, though not so thick that it doesn't go through your belt loops. You also want to make sure it’s a medium brown, and not dark. Try a simple brown leather belt from American Eagle for $15. Make sure to tuck your shirt into your pants so the belt shows. These can be either combat or riding boots, as long as they lace all the way up and are flats. If you don't have  a pair of these at home, they might be a bit more expensive to buy. For example, most boots cost anywhere between $25-$60. However, Breckelle’s Outlaw 13 Women’s Ankle Strap Tall Riding Boots are only $22.30. Katniss is famous for her brown leather jacket in the first scene of the Hunger Games. However, you can also buy her black windbreaker from when she's actually participating in the games. Though it may seem like the leather jacket would be more expensive, both it and the...


Find or create a cool or cold environment. Make your friend as physically uncomfortable as you can without physically harming him. Turn on loud music.

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

BUD/S candidates say that when you’re freezing cold, it’s almost impossible to fall asleep.   They are subjected to up to 15 minutes immersed in water that is barely above 60°F (15.6°C). Be careful, however, because exposure to extreme cold can lead to life-threatening conditions, such as hypothermia.  Have your friend drink a cold beverage. Make an ice bath for your buddy and have her sit in it for 10 minutes. Adjust the air conditioning to make the room cool or cold. Have your friend take a cold 10-minute shower. People are less likely to fall asleep when they are uncomfortable, according to one military member who successfully completed Hell Week.  Get “wet and sandy." Jump into a body of water then roll around in the sand like BUD/S candidates do. Sit in the most uncomfortable chair available. Take away your friend’s pillow and blankets. Loud sounds make it difficult to doze off. Listen to rock, death metal, or upbeat pop. Avoid slow, lulling music.


Find or create a “Pharaoh. Create the papier mâché paste. Prepare some mummy strips. Wrap the Pharaoh in papier mâché strips. Let the mummy dry.

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

” You can either make a small, human-shaped form out of foil or use a doll, like a barbie doll. If you decide to use a doll, cut off as much of its hair as you can. Otherwise, the head of the mummy will be difficult to wrap.  Don’t use someone else’s doll without asking permission. Inexpensive dolls can be bought at grocery stores and discount department stores. Add one part water to one part flour in a large mixing bowl. Next, whisk the mixture together to create a smooth paste. The paste should have the consistency of pancake batter. If it’s too thick, add a few splashes of water. If it’s too thin, sprinkle in more flour.  For example, if you use one cup of flour, you will need one cup of water. Add a tablespoon of salt to the paste if you want to prevent molding. Tear out small, thin strips of unruled white paper or thin cloth. You can also use newspaper, tissue paper, or paper towels. If you’re making an authentic-looking mummy, choose white paper or fabric. Otherwise, the mummy will be multicolored. The strips should be about 3-4 inches long (7.5 to 10 centimeters) and half an inch wide (1.3 centimeters). First, dip a strip of paper or fabric into your paste and coat each side. Gently squeeze the strip to remove any excess paste. Next, wrap the strip around the mummy as tightly as you can.  Wrap the arms against the body. Mummies usually don’t have individually wrapped arms. If you decide to do more than one layer of papier mâché, let each layer dry completely before adding another. Leave the mummy in a sunny spot for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. This will guarantee that any layers have dried. Otherwise, the mummy may mold.  To test whether or not the mummy is dry, press it gently with a finger. The papier mâché should be chalky and stiff. To speed the drying process, place the mummy under a fan.


Find or make a temporary dress form. Put the elastic bands on the dress form. Consider adding ribbon to the skirt. Consider cutting parts of the skirt shorter.

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

You will need something to hold the elastic while you tie the pieces of tulle to it. You can use anything cylindrical, as long as it is close to the same thickness as your you'd waist. You can also make your own dress form by taking a piece of poster board, rolling the ends together until they are the same size as your child's torso, and then taping the poster board so that it doesn't unroll. Make sure that the space between the two bands is the same as the space between your child's armpit and waist. Take a tape measure and measure from the waistband to the bottom of the skirt. Double the number that you get, and cut pieces of ribbon according to that number. Fold the ribbon in half, and slide the looped end under the waistband, right between two pieces of tulle. Bring the ends of the ribbon up and through the loop, just as you did when tying the tulle to the top elastic. Gently tug the ends of the ribbon back down. Add more ribbon every few inches until you have gone around the entire waist band. You can make the dress look angled or ragged depending on you you cut the tulle. For an angled dress, cut the tulle on the front shorter, and leave the back untouched. For a ragged dress, cut random pieces of tulle shorter.


Find or make an instrumental track. Record your vocals. Share your parody.

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

The instrumental track will be the backbone of your song, so you’ll want it to be of good quality. The type of track you make or download will be different depending on which type of parody you want to make.  Find an official instrumental. If you’re parodying a current song, you’ll often be able to find an instrumental of the backing track on the artist’s album or website. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, search online for the instrumental on Soundcloud or Youtube. DJs and electronic artists often get exclusive copies of the tracks and share them.  Use a karaoke track. While karaoke tracks can sound a little corny or canned, they might work well enough for what you want to make. Search karaoke archives or websites for the track that you need. You may have to pay for these tracks, however.  Edit your own instrumental. It may be possible to edit the lyrics out of the song you want to parody. Certain plugins for audio editing software can remove vocals, or you can cut and paste sections of a song with no lyrics to make a word-free version. The quality of your product will depend a lot on your editing skills and the type of song.  Play the song on your own instruments. If you’re skilled with a guitar, piano or other instruments, make your own backing track. Record and edit it before you lay down vocals to make sure that you have the verses and choruses in the right places. Use recording software and a microphone to record your vocals. Use audio editing software that came with your computer, such as Garageband, or download open source software like Audacity. Edit your recording. Do a few takes of your vocals and then pick and choose which are best. You can edit together better performances of verses and choruses to make the best recording possible. Upload your song to a platform like Soundcloud, iTunes, Facebook, Myspace, Bandcamp or Youtube. This will allow many people to check out your creation. Don’t forget to spread the word across your own social media profiles. The more interest you create, the...


Find or purchase a large plastic container. Clean out the plastic container before using. Hold a trial run by placing cans or bottles in the container so you can estimate how much it could possibly hold.

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

The best kind of container is one created from sturdy, clear plastic with an even, not too heavy weight. Even if you just purchased the container, make sure it’s totally clean before you add your ice and drinks. Use hot, soapy water, rinse well and then dry with a clean towel. Keep in mind that you will most likely be filling this container with ice too.


Find or purchase a tube sock the same color as your hair.

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

Although the sock will be hidden inside your hair once you make the bun, it’s a good idea to find a sock the same color as your hair just in case part of the sock peeks through.  If you don’t have a sock the same color as your hair and are trying to make this hairstyle in a pinch, choose a sock that is a similar tone to your hair. For instance, if you have blond hair, pick a tan or light-colored sock. If you have dark brown hair, pick a black or navy sock. Make sure that you use a sock you don’t care about, since you will be cutting it and won’t be able to wear it again. If you don’t want to use a sock, you can also purchase a hair donut, which fulfills the same function as the sock. If you have a hair donut, you can skip to the next section.


Find out about talent competitions in your area. Learn what the requirements are for entering the talent show. Prepare your audition, if one is necessary. Practice your performance to prepare for the competition. Perform your song at the competition.

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

Talent competitions are not common, but they do happen from time-to-time in most communities. Check local news sources for information about a talent competition that might be coming up.  Area schools often have talent shows, if you are a student. Talent shows are also sometimes held as part of community events, such as fairs. You can also look for televised talent shows, such as American Idol, America's Got Talent, X-Factor, The Voice, and Britain's Got Talent, to name a few. Oftentimes, these televised talent shows hold auditions in a variety of cities in the country in which they are filmed. You may be asked to submit an application, audition your talent, and/or meet certain requirements in order to enter. Be sure you know what you have to do to enter. Mark any dates for auditions on your calendar so that you do not miss them. Be sure to take time to choose the song you want to perform, learn the appropriate voice part for it, and practice it daily.  If you will need accompaniment for your audition and/or your performance at the competition, then be sure to regularly practice with that accompaniment, whether it be piano, guitar, or another instrument. For televised talent shows, it is recommended to audition with a cover song, rather than an original song. Once you audition, and assuming that you are accepted, take time daily to practice. You may be performing the same song for the competition, or you may be selecting a different one. Either way, you need to practice. Again, be sure to practice with accompaniment if you are using it. When the time comes, perform your song with confidence for your audience. Give it your best!


Find out how much sleep you need. Recognize the importance of a good night’s sleep. Keep a sleep diary. Adjust your sleep patterns as necessary.

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

Everyone needs adequate sleep to function properly and to stay healthy, but sleep requirements vary by age and activity level. Understanding how much sleep you need can help you plan for a good night’s sleep.  Newborns 0-3 months old require 14-17 hours of sleep every day.  Infants 4-11 months old need 12-15 hours of sleep every day.  Toddlers 1-2 years old need 11-14 hours of sleep every day.  Preschoolers 3-5 years old need 10-13 hours of sleep every day.  School age children 6-13 years old need 9-11 hours of sleep every day.  Teenagers 14-17 need 8-10 hours of sleep every day.  Adults, aged 18-64 need 7-9 hours of sleep every day.  Older adults above 65 years, need 7-8 hours of sleep every day.  Anyone who is very active, stressed, or sick, may need to take short, daytime naps to rest and recharge. Regardless of age and general sleep recommendations, your body requires adequate rest to function at its best.   Make sleep a priority in your life. It contributes to your body and mind’s optimal functioning.  Numerous negative consequences of insufficient sleep include disease, chronic inflammation, high blood pressure and stress, diabetes, obesity and mood disorders.  Lack of sleep also affects mental performance such as the ability to focus. It may affect your ability to do your job well. When you wake up every day, record in a sleep diary how long and well you slept, and how you felt after waking up. Your sleep diary can help you identify patterns that are hindering (or helping) your sleep.  Your sleep diary may indicate factors that are impacting your sleep. Remove or adjust these as necessary and continue to write in your diary. For example, you might notice that on days you nap that you don’t sleep as well at night. If this is the case, try skipping your nap and see if that helps you get to sleep on time. Talk to your doctor if you have trouble sleeping over a long period of time or notice distinct patterns in your sleep. There will be circumstances in which you need to adjust your sleeping habits.

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

As of 2015, Uber has begun accepting cash in some cities in Asia and Africa. It is currently not possible to pay for your Uber with cash in North America or Europe. To find out if cash is accepted in your city:  Visit https://www.uber.com/cities/ and select your city from the list. Scroll down to the “Riding with Uber.” The accepted payment options in your location are described in this paragraph. If cash is accepted in your location, you can sign up for an Uber account without having to enter credit card information. Find the Uber app in the App Store (iPhone) or the Play Store (Android), then tap “Get” or “Install.” If you are already an Uber member, you don’t need to re-register. Just launch the app, set your pickup location, and select “Cash” as your method of payment. ” Now you will create your new Uber account.  Enter your name, e-mail address, phone number, and a password to protect your account. Tap “Next” when you’re ready to continue.

Find out if a transfer-on-death deed is available where you live. Draw up the deed. Sign in front of a notary. Record your deed.

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

The TOD deed enables you to maintain full control of your property while you’re alive, but transfer it to your relative of choice when you die without going through probate. As of 2015, 22 states and the District of Columbia offer TOD deeds, including Colorado, Illinois, Ohio and Virginia. Check with your county recorder’s office to learn if this option is available to you. If your reason for transferring your house to a family member is to avoid probate, a TOD deed may be a better solution for you because it allows you to maintain control of your house while you’re alive. A TOD deed looks like any other deed, but includes a statement that it doesn’t take effect until the owner’s death. Each state has particular requirements, so you might consider consulting a real estate attorney if you’re not confident in your ability to work through those requirements on your own. Check your state’s law to ensure you don’t need other witnesses. The family member to whom you’re transferring your property does not need to be present. After you’ve signed it, you must record it yourself at your county recorder’s office. Otherwise, no one will know it exists and it may never take effect.  You may change your mind at any time and make another deed. You retain all title and ownership in your property until you die. Any mortgages or other liens on your property transfer automatically with a TOD deed. Like a quitclaim deed, you’re merely bequeathing your ownership interest in the property, whatever that may be. When you die, your chosen family member may need to present an affidavit and death certificate to take control of the property, but it’s still a quicker and easier process than going through probate.


Find out if an existing homeowners or rental insurance policy will cover your engagement ring. Buy a separate insurance policy. Ask questions to make sure that you are getting the coverage you want. Choose a deductible. Send the appraisal, with the photos and any other paperwork, to the insurance company.

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

Usually, the easiest place to insure your ring is through the company that provides your homeowners or renters insurance. Call your insurer, and ask them about adding your engagement ring to the policy.  Usually, high price items such as engagement rings are insured through a “rider” added on to your homeowners or renters policy. With a “rider,” insurance coverage is specifically assigned to the high priced item. If you insure your ring with a rider that is added to a current policy, make sure that the coverage is as complete as you want it to be. If your ring isn’t, or can't, be covered under an existing homeowners or rental insurance policy, you will need to find an alternative policy. Contact a jewelry insurance representative to get information on rates to insure based on the ring's value. You can find listings for representatives online or in your local telephone directory.  The information you receive should show you where to send your appraisal and include all of the specific limitations or conditions for coverage. Additionally, some people prefer to get a referral to an insurance company from the store that they buy the ring from, to ensure they insure the ring through a recommended company. Because insurance policies vary dramatically, you should make sure that you ask questions and completely understand the parameters of your policy. For example, you should always ask what types of loss does the policy covers. Does it include accidental loss or damage, or only theft?  You will also want to ask about how a lost or stolen ring will be replaced and if there are circumstances when the ring will not be insured. Will you be paid for the value of the ring in cash or will you need to order a replacement through a jeweler that is specified by the insurance company. You should even know how you will document that your ring is lost, stolen, or damaged. The insurance company will have very specific steps that you will need to go through to make a claim. The deductible is the amount that you will pay to replace...


Find out if expungement is available in the state where you were convicted. Make sure the required time has elapsed since your conviction. Gather your records. Complete the required forms. File and serve your expungement forms. Appear in court for your hearing.

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

Expungement acts to dismiss the felony, almost as though it never happened. Only 16 states allow expungement of a conviction.   The general public may not know about your expunged felony, but law enforcement agencies and courts still have access to that part of your record. If you’re convicted of another crime after having a prior conviction expunged, the expunged conviction may add to the severity of your sentence.   Most states don’t allow expungement of serious, violent felonies.   Some states do not allow you to expunge felonies at all.  If you live in a state where this is true, you will have to work to get your felony reduced to a misdemeanor, and then you could possibly get that misdemeanor expunged. Some states allow the expungement of arrests only.  If you live in a state like this, you might not be able to expunge felony or misdemeanor convictions at all. Even if you’re successful in getting your conviction expunged, you may still have to disclose it in some instances, such as if you’re applying for a professional license or a job in law enforcement. Depending on the state, you might have to wait several years after your conviction before you can file to have your record expunged.  The length of time you have to wait can depend on several factors, including your age and the severity of the crime. Those factors vary from state to state. The waiting period doesn’t start until after you’ve finished all aspects of your sentence. This includes successfully completing any probation period and paying all fines. In many states you’ll have to present police and court records about your felony when you file for expungement. You probably will have to pay fees for certified copies of those documents.  You also will need copies of your criminal history and fingerprint records from the arresting police department. In some states, such as Florida, you also must have new fingerprints taken to submit with your expungement petition. States have a form, typically called a Motion or Petition for Expungement, to be...


Find out if she has a date for the prom already. Become friends Flirt with her a little. Hang out with other girls.

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

If she does, it's just better to back off. You may not think so, but asking her when you know she has a date is pretty much self-sabotage: your chances of her agreeing (changing her mind) are next to none.  Look at her behavior. If you don't want anyone to know that you've been asking about her, it might be a good idea to just wait and watch. Girls are usually pretty vocal about their dates. You should be able to tell if she has a date. Ask her friends, or get a friend to ask her friends. Asking her friends will probably tip your cards: the girl will eventually find out, but that could be a good thing. To avoid this, get one of your friends to ask one of her friends. Sneaky! Ask her yourself. If you're super direct and don't think you'll worry about the consequences, ask her straight up. Just say: "Just wondering, do you have a date to the prom?" If she says "no" and seems a little shy about it, looking at you expectantly, go right ahead and ask her. If she says "no" but goes on talking about how she has to find one soon, looking a bit disinterested, maybe wait a little.  If you are already friends with her,ask her who she's going with, like you assume she already has one. This means you can often slide this into normal conversation without her necessarily suspecting that you are going to ask her.  If she's got someone to go with, she'll say who and you won't embarrass yourself If she hasn't,she will say so and this means you can get onto Phase Two...  If she does realise you want to go with her, she'll probably be flattered that you assumed that she had a date as you must think of her as an attractive person to think that she already has one! ;) with her if you aren't already. She's more likely to take someone to the prom if she knows them. Take every opportunity you can get without hounding or smothering her: science projects, sitting next to one another at lunch, inviting her to a party you're going to, etc. Look at every social opportunity as a way to better get to know her.  Try to be casual when you...


Find out if the car meets your country’s compliance regulations. Register the car if you’re within the EU. Complete the necessary paperwork. Work with a registered importer for the best results.

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

Many countries have regulations about types of cars that can be driven within that country. For instance, in the U.S., any car driven on U.S. roads must either be originally marketed for sale in the U.S., or modified once it is imported to meet compliance regulations.  Most cars in the U.S. and Canada that are manufactured abroad are specifically manufactured to meet U.S./Canadian regulations. Be wary of any private seller who claims that a car meets relevant standards or can be easily brought into compliance.  Sometimes people decide that the costs of modifying a car that is not originally marketed in their country are too high, and they look for another type of car to buy instead. Search for the make and model of the car at your local car dealerships to find out if the car is marketed in your country. If you bought or are planning to buy a car in Germany and bring it home to another country within the European Union, you’ll need to register the car in your country and pay the appropriate taxes. You must register the car in your country within 6 months of your arrival to avoid penalties.  If you’re staying in an EU country temporarily, or for less than 6 months, you do not have to register a car that was bought in Germany or any other EU country. Visit https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/vehicles/registration/taxes/index_en.htm for more information about buying, selling, and registering cars within the EU. Cars that do not automatically meet the compliance regulations or safety standards of your country may need to have a specific declaration form filed on them before they can be imported on a temporary basis. In the U.S., cars not manufactured to meet U.S. or Canadian safety standards must have an HS-7 declaration form filed for temporary importation.  Temporary importation is dependent upon the car’s eventual modification to meet federal safety standards within a certain amount of time. Not modifying the car can lead to its eventual seizure. Appropriate paperwork needed for importing nonconforming cars...


Find out if the college supports a gap year. Get started as soon as possible. Outline your plans for your gap year. Send a written letter to the director of admissions. Follow up with financial aid.

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

Gap years are a common tradition in the U.K. and some other countries, but have only caught on in the U.S. recently. If a college supports a gap year, they will defer your admission until the following fall.  A gap year allows you to postpone your higher education for a year while you travel, work for a nonprofit, or do other types of educational or exploratory activities. When you return, you won't have to reapply to the school. For schools that don't support or recognize a gap year, there may be other options available to you, or you may be able to postpone your admission a semester. If you've decided you want to take a year off, you typically need to let the college know you want a deferral as soon as possible. Otherwise, the college may be less inclined to grant your deferral. At the latest, you shouldn't wait until after your first tuition payment is due to ask admissions for a deferral. At that stage, it may be all but impossible for your admission to be deferred. You're not taking a gap year so you can lay around in your pajamas all year watching TV. A school will be more accepting of your decision to take a gap year if you have educational activities or opportunities lined up. Some schools require a full, written proposal. Check with the school to find out what their requirements are and any due dates you need to be aware of. Unlike if you're declining admission entirely, if you want to postpone your admission, make this request in writing. The director of admissions will be able to discuss the possibility of taking a gap year with you.  Use a business letter format – there should be a template on your word-processing app – and proofread carefully. Make a copy of your letter after you sign it, for your own records. If the school has any particular forms or information that you are supposed to provide, include that with your letter. If you don't hear anything within a reasonable amount of time, follow up with a phone call. Typically two to four weeks is a reasonable time, depending on how far away the...


Find out if there are specific rules for the club if it’s connected to an organization. Determine who will fill the executive roles. Vote on club officers and define their duties. Establish a budget

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

If your club is arranged through a school, place of worship, or other organization, they may have specific rules for running the club. Speak to the administration to learn about any rules that need to be followed. For instance, if the club is run through your school, you may need to have a faculty advisor. If your club is focused on taking action, completing tasks, or raising awareness, it will be helpful to have executive officers that organize these things and disseminate information to members. Typical executive roles include:   President: the leader who runs the club and meetings and enforces the rules.  Vice president: supports the President and is in charge when the President is absent.  Treasurer: handles the club's money, keeps track of dues for memberships, pays the bills for the club's operations and activities, records of all debits and credits for accounting purposes.  Secretary: keeps minutes of every meeting and reads them for correction or addition at each following meeting, gives a report of each event at meetings following the event. If you have a large club, you may need additional club officers as well. Explain the role of each officer, then take a vote to determine who will fill each role. Spots you may need to fill include:   Historian: keeps a record of activities and events that the club hosts, takes and keeps photos of group activities.  Head of events: delegates club members to help in planning and organizing activities.  Advertising team: responsible for creating flyers, posting to social media, and getting people to attend events, fundraisers, or activities. and determine membership dues. The budget will depend on what kind of club you start and what you hope to accomplish. If your goal is to raise awareness for issues or host events, you’ll need some funding. Much of this can come from membership dues paid monthly or annually by the active members.  Your club can also host fundraising events to make money for equipment, activities, or events. You may also be able to find sponsors...


Find out if they already have a date. Learn a little bit about their likes and dislikes. Bring up prom in conversation. Wait until you’re alone with them. Ask them to prom. Tell them you’ll talk about plans soon.

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

If you aren’t already seeing your prospective date, they may be planning to go with someone else. Finding out before you ask can save you a lot of time and embarrassment. If you’re really comfortable with them, you can ask them directly. If you’d rather not, ask your friends to find out or drop a hint about prom to them. Try saying something straightforward like “So do you have a prom date yet?” If they say yes, try to act calm and cool about it. Tell them you hope they have a great time. If they say no, you can either ask them right away or start planning your promposal! A promposal isn’t a one-size-fits-all event. Some people would absolutely hate being asked to prom in front of everybody at the homecoming game, but others would love it. Think about what you know about your prospective date. Would they prefer to be asked privately, or would they love a big public event? Do they think pun promposals are cute or annoying? If you aren’t sure how your prospective date feels about the whole prom thing, drop a hint. Start by bringing up the idea of prom in general to see how they react. Some people are very no-frills and may not even be interested in prom at all.  Just say something casual like “I heard they actually hired an outside DJ for prom” or “My friend works at the mall, she says everyone’s buying prom stuff already.” If they seem interested and don’t mention a date, you can ask them! If they act grossed out by the idea of prom, they might be trying to act cool, or they might really not want to go. The only way to find out for sure is to ask them directly. Don’t just ask them in front of everybody. Somebody who appreciates a low-key promposal is probably not going to want to be asked in front of their friends. You don’t need to ask to meet them or anything, just wait until it’s just the two of you walking, hanging out, or waiting for the bus. Just come right out and say it! You don’t need to recite a poem or talk about how much you love them. Just look them in the eyes, smile, and say, “Will you go to...


Find out if they really and truly hate you. Dig into the reason they dislike you so much. Look back on your past few interactions. Address the problem head on. Not everyone is going to like you -- deal with it. Avoid the person to avoid the hatred. Move on.

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

Hate is a strong emotion, one very few people feel casually. Do they actually hate you? Or are you giving yourself too much credit as a force in their life? That said, the following signs could mean there is some beef between both of you.  Intentionally making your life difficult (deliberately annoying you, messing with your work, for instance). Ignoring your words and conversations, especially when you're trying to speak with him/her. Talking trash about you behind your back. Throwing unwarranted cruel language and insults your way at every opportunity. Acting rude to you, but being very kind to others. Also, if he/she suddenly acts angry or annoyed around you when he/she didn't seem to be before, that's a sign that they don't like you. Just be straightforward and ask them. 90% of the jerks harboring hateful feelings won't have much to say back to you -- they're just angry people. When confronted, they'll stammer, hem, and haw, because there is usually no good reason to hate you. But, if they do respond, you'll have a chance to make things right:  If they are uncomfortable, just flash them your pearly whites and say, "It's all right. Let's just try and be better friends in the future." If that seems a bit condescending, you can go with, "I understand if you'd rather not talk about it. I just noticed that you don't seem to like me and was curious." If they tell you a reason why, say "That's good to know. I'm working on being a better person, and not doing ________." If you can give them a concrete step, like you're trying to make less of a mess in the work kitchen to be more respectful, let them know. If their reason is unreasonable or dumb, just admit that not everyone's perfect and move on. Don't waste any more breath trying to tame a jerk who doesn't want to be tamed or hates you for a really immature reason. They might say that they "just don't like you". If that's the case, accept that some people just can't bring themselves to like certain others. It's nothing personal. Did you blow them off? Forget a...


Find out if weight-loss shakes are safe for you. Read the nutrition information. Read credible reviews. Talk to your doctor.

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

Research any health issues you suffer from or medications you’re taking. Consider your age, height, and weight, as well. The ingredients and nutritional content of many or most weight-loss shakes might make them unsuitable for you. For example:  Weight-loss shakes might react with diabetes medications, causing your blood sugar to dip dangerously low.  If you suffer from osteoporosis or kidney disease, the high protein content in most weight-loss shakes could worsen your condition. Ask your doctor if there are any brands with safer protein levels.  Many shakes contain gluten. If you suffer from Celiac disease or other gluten intolerances, you should seek out gluten-free brands.  Avoid weight-loss shakes if you’re under 18, pregnant, or breastfeeding. You won’t get the nutrients and calories your body needs.  You shouldn’t use weight-loss shakes at all if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 24.9 or lower. Only those who are clinically overweight or obese (BMI of 25 or higher) should consider this regimen. Talk to your doctor about other weight-loss methods. Search online for the nutrition labels of the shakes you’re considering. Look for any ingredients that conflict with your dietary preferences and restrictions. Pay attention to the nutrients that play the biggest role in satisfying hunger and contributing to your daily needs. Key contents are:  Total calories Total fat Fiber Protein Customer testimonials can be helpful, but they’re not enough and may not be reliable. Look up reviews by medical experts. Read recommendations on how to use shakes based on your dietary preferences and activity level. Consider sources such as:  Food and Drug Administration (FDA.gov) National Institutes of Health (NIH.gov) National Health Service (NHS.uk) Mayo Clinic (MayoClinic.org) Tell your doctor about your plans to diet and consider asking for a referral to a registered dietitian. Let them know about the shakes you’ve been researching. They’ll measure your height and weight to figure out your BMI. They could also measure fat...


Find out if you can buy your leased vehicle. Find a buyer for your leased car. Consider taxes and fees.

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

Most leases include a “payoff” or “buyout” price. Paying this amount will release you from your lease and pass ownership of the car to you. The price of the buyout is normally more than the car is actually worth, and the difference can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Consult the Kelley Blue Book to find out your car’s value before choosing the buyout option. If you can cut a deal with a buyer who has the cash on hand, you can reduce your overall loss by selling the car immediately after you buy out the lease.   Post your car for sale online at sites such as cars.com or autotrader.com. Alternatively, you can sell your car the old-fashioned way. Put a sign in the window and leave it parked in a place with a lot of traffic. Look for an individual buyer rather than a dealership. Car dealers will offer the wholesale price because they need to make money on the car too – that typically won't be enough to get you out of your lease. A private individual wants to drive the car himself and may be willing to pay more. Be honest with potential buyers. Tell them as soon as possible why you are selling the car — especially if you require payment up front. If you need to get the money from the buyer before completing the lease buyout, the buyer may feel more comfortable paying the money directly to your lease company rather than paying you first and having you finish the transaction. Depending on the sales tax laws in your state, you may have to pay taxes when you sell your car. There may be other fees to take into account, such as title transfer fees or registration fees.


Find out if you can have a clothesline. Mark an area where you will place the clothesline. Determine how high the poles should be. Purchase the materials. Gather the tools.

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

Not all neighborhoods, subdivisions, and cities allow clotheslines. Some people believe that they look bad in yards or neighborhoods. Check with your Home Owner's Association or city ordinances. Most loads of clothes use 35 feet of line. The length of line needs to accommodate at least one load. The area you place the clothesline in shouldn't be a high traffic area. Make sure it's not in an area where people or dogs frequently walk. You also don't want the clothesline to hang over anything, like flowers, a pool, or shrubbery.  Don't make the line any longer than that. The longer the line, the more sag the line will  have.  Avoid placing your clothesline under trees that drip sap, leaves, or other material. You also want to avoid placing your clothesline under trees with a lot of birds.  If you want to dry colored clothes, make sure there is a spot in the shade so the colors don't fade. You can spread clotheslines between multiple posts or multiple trees if you plan on drying many loads at one time. When building your clothesline, you want to make sure that it is the proper height. You don't want the clothesline to be too tall so that you can't easily hang your clothes. On the other hand, you don't want the line to be too low so that larger items, such as blankets and sheets, touch the ground. The wood for your posts need to be taller than how high you want the poles. Part of the pole will be in ground. For a 6 ft. clothesline, you will need at least wood that is 8 ft. tall. To make a proper clothesline, you need to purchase the right materials. You will need:  2- 4 x 4 x 10′ treated wood posts 2- 2 x 2 x 8′ treated wood posts 8 - 1/4″ x 6″ hot dip galvanized lag screws (and washers) 2 - 1/4” x 8” galvanized lag bolts 8 – eye hooks 2 – clothesline tighteners 2 – quick links 100 ft clothesline 2 bags Quikrete To make a clothesline, you will have to saw wood, drill holes for bolts, and dig a hole into the ground. To accomplish this, you need the following tools:  Miter saw Drill and bits Clamps Post level Post...


Find out if you can legally be a minister in your county. Find out how becoming a minister online will impact your religious standing. Consider the online option carefully if you truly want to be a minister.

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

If you're getting ordained to perform a wedding, this step is essential. Some states recognize online ordinations as legal, while others only consider you a minister if you have a congregation.  Look up your state's laws, or call your county clerk for more information. Some states require minister licensing, which is the process of registering as clergy with the state.  Here are some general guidelines:  The legality of online ordination has been the subject of recent court cases in a variety of states. Laws regarding this issue are constantly evolving, so it's important to have up-to-the minute information about whether you'll be able to legally perform different ceremonies where you live.   Organizations such as prisons and hospitals that allow outside ministers to visit and minister to their clients, inmates, and patients have the right to refuse recognition to certain ministers. Many federal institutions, especially those addressing the needs of veterans and the military, do not recognize online ordinations no matter how legal they may be. If you aren't already a member of a church, this isn't something to worry about. However, if you are a member of a church, getting ordained online could affect your standing. If you want to perform a wedding for a friend but you already belong to a different religion, investigate whether becoming ordained online could get you excommunicated.  Some churches, such as the Catholic Church and the LDS Church, may consider becoming a minister in another religion apostasy, and grounds for immediate excommunication. If you're unsure, ask your local clergy for guidance. Getting ordained online offers an alternative to traditional ordination routes. If you feel you've been called to serve as a minister, you might find it more fulfilling to undergo formal training. That being said, attending seminary school does require time and money. Getting ordained online tends to be relatively inexpensive, and will allow you to perform weddings and other ceremonies. However, each denomination...


Find out if you have blurred close-up vision. Determine if you have difficulty with reading. Consider whether distant objects appear blurred. Ask yourself if you have difficulty seeing objects both close-up and far-away.

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

Blurred close-up vision is an indicator of farsightedness (also known as hyperopia). If you find it hard to focus on something that is close to your eyes you may have hyperopia. There is no single distance at which an object becomes blurry that equates to hyperopia.  The extent of your hyperopia influences your ability to focus on close-up objects, so the further away you have be to focus on something, to more pronounced you far-sightedness.  Having to sit further away from your computer or holding a book at arm's length are common indicators. If you are used to doing a lot of up-close work, such as drawing, sewing, writing, or working on a computer, and are finding it harder to focus on the task, this can also be a symptom of presbyopia, which is a type of farsightedness caused by loss of elasticity in the eye muscles. It is common to develop presbyopia as we get older.  You can check this simply by holding a book in front of you and reading it normally. If you are holding it more than ten or twelve inches away you may have presbyopia. If you find yourself moving the book further and further away from your eyes to focus on the words, this could be presbyopia. Often reading glasses will help with this. Presbyopia typically develops during the ages of 40 and 65. If you find increasingly that distant object appear to you as blurred, but nearby objects are clear, you may have nearsightedness (myopia). Myopia typically starts to develop around puberty, but can occur at any time in life. Like hyperopia, myopia is a question of degrees. But if you can read a newspaper fine, but struggle to read the board from the back of class, or find yourself sitting closer and closer to the TV, this could be it.  There is evidence that children who spent more time doing close tasks, such as reading, are more likely to develop myopia. Environmental factors are less significant than genetics, however. Instead of having difficulty seeing close-up or far-away objects, you might have a tough time focussing on either of them. If this...


Find out if you have low testosterone levels. Speak to your doctor about hormone therapy. Lose weight Perform high intensity exercise. Take zinc. Maintain adequate vitamin D levels. Reduce Stress Make sure you get adequate sleep Review your medications.

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

If you are experiencing decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depression, or poor concentration/memory, talk to your doctor. These symptoms may be due to low testosterone levels. Your doctor can confirm low testosterone levels using a blood test. It is best to go for this test in the morning because this will provide the most accurate result. The condition of having low testosterone levels is known as hypogonadism. If you are diagnosed with hypogonadism, your doctor may recommend replacement therapy. This involves taking a synthetic form of testosterone to meet your testosterone needs.  Never try to take testosterone products yourself, as your hormone levels will need to be strictly monitored during treatment. Having too much testosterone can be just as harmful as having too little. If hormone replacement therapy isn't for you, you can try some natural methods of boosting your testosterone levels. . Testosterone is a steroid hormone, which means it is fat-soluble. If you are overweight, most of your testosterone will be stored in the fat. This portion will not participate in hormone activities. That means, although you have normal amount of total testosterone, you are not benefiting from all of it. You can boost your testosterone levels naturally, by losing a bit of weight.  Processed sugar is primary culprits for obesity. Avoid soda, processed foods, and sweets. Refined carbohydrates include bagels, waffles, crackers, pretzels, cookies, cakes, and muffins. Highly processed foods that are difficult for your body to digest and have little nutritional value include ketchup, chips, cereal, and "easy" to make foods. Limit your intake of these foods and switch to whole grains and other more natural options. Eat plenty of vegetables. They slow down sugar absorption from the intestine and scavenge bad fats from the diet. Try to eat five servings of veggies per day. When it comes to boosting your testosterone levels, intense exercise for a short period is more beneficial than moderate exercise for prolonged...

Find out if you're already a British national. Fill out the relevant form as a British national. Know if you qualify as a child under 18. Contact UKVI for other situations.

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

A British national can hold a UK passport but does not have the automatic right to live and work in the UK. There are quite a few laws that grant British nationality to citizens of current and former overseas British territories, and to people born in those territories who would otherwise be stateless. In some cases the spouse or child of a national may also be able to apply for nationality. If you're not sure whether you qualify for British nationality, contact the UK Visas and Immigration office. If you are a British national, you usually qualify to fill out a simpler citizenship application form. You can find these forms at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-visa-forms#citizenship. Choose a form based on your status:  B(OTA) if you have another citizenship. B(OS) if you have no other citizenship. S1, S2, or S3 if you are a stateless person. (See form instructions to find out which form applies to you.) EM if you are a resident of Hong Kong and were a resident on 4 February 1997. RS1 if you previously renounced UK citizenship. UKM (mother) or UKF (father) if you had a British parent but do not have citizenship due to laws at the time of your birth. You can register as a citizen if you are below this age and qualify for one of these reasons:  If one of your parents has  or acquired indefinite leave since you were born, apply with form MN1. If neither parent is a UK citizen or here on indefinite leave, but you lived in the UK from birth until the age of 10, apply with form T. If at least one parent was a UK citizen at the time of your birth, or was here on indefinite leave, you are automatically a citizen. There is no need to apply. If none of the above instructions describe your situation, but you have some other connection to the UK, contact the UK Visas and Immigration Office. There are many corner cases that may make you a British national. The office of the Home Secretary also has the ability to grant citizenship to anyone under 18, so a compelling case may allow you to bypass the official...


Find out if your computer’s graphics card can be upgraded. Learn the terminology associated with graphics cards. Consider how you use your card.

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

Check your computer manufacturer’s documentation or open your computer to check the interface of the graphics card (the type of slot it uses to connect to the motherboard) and the capacity of your computer’s power supply.  Graphics cards can vary in physical size, meaning you should measure the space in your case and compare the area with any graphics cards you're considering. Graphics cards will list their power requirements in their detailed specifications. Compare this with the capacity of your power supply. This information may be displayed on a sticker on the actual unit, but you may need to check the computer’s documentation instead. Many laptop computers have integrated video cards, which are soldered to the computer's motherboard and cannot be replaced. Mac laptops in particular are notorious for their difficulty to upgrade. Each aspect of a graphics card can help determine how it will perform and whether or not it fits your needs.  GPU (Graphics Processing Unit): This is the processor on your graphics card that manipulates the memory to create images on your screen. They handle graphical processing more efficiently than a computer’s regular CPU. Core clock: This is the a measurement of the speed of the GPU. Higher clock speeds means faster processing. Video RAM (Random Access Memory): VRAM is memory that is used for storing image data. Higher VRAM impacts framerate less than the clock speed, but does help with rendering at higher resolutions.  Memory bandwidth: The memory bandwidth is a measurement of the speed of the video RAM. This helps determine how quickly objects can be rendered and can greatly impact performance. Interface: This is the type of connection used by the graphics card to connect to the motherboard. Most modern graphics cards will use the PCI Express 3.0 interface. Power Requirement: This is the amount of power required by your computer’s power supply, measured in watts. Video-intensive activities, such as graphic design, 4K video, and gaming will benefit the most from an upgrade to...


Find out if your crush is available. Learn your crush’s hobbies. Meet your crush. Get to know your crush’s background.

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

You want to start by finding out basic information, such as whether they are already in a relationship or not. It’s always best to know ahead of time and if it turns out they are unavailable, you could still get to know them as friends!  To find out this information, ask around but try to be discreet about it and only ask friends you know you can trust. After all, you don’t want the word getting around that you are interested in someone without getting a chance to know them first! If you don’t already know their age, find out! After all, if you are in the older end of your grade and your crush is young for their grade, there might not even be much of an age gap between you two. Getting to know what your crush’s hobbies are will not only give you something to talk about, but will also inform you if you two are actually a good fit. After all, an infatuation may be based on being attracted to someone’s looks, but a relationship requires having similar interests and goals and it’s better to find out sooner rather than later if you aren’t actually compatible with your crush.  For example, ask around to see if they are involved in any sports, clubs, or extracurricular activities. Or, if you already speak to each other from time to time, make a point of casually asking your crush about what they’re into. Maybe they’re secretly a film buff or love to draw and you do too. Don’t be afraid to ask as you may end up having some unexpected interests in common! Once you’ve learned about some of their activities, you can include yourself in them, especially if they are school-related, such as a sports or club. Just be sure to do it if you are also actively interested in the activity--never do something just for the sake of being around your crush. If you haven’t talked to your crush before, make a point of doing so! After all, the best way to get to know a person is simply by talking to them. Though the grade difference may intimidate you at first, if your crush is a kind, mature person, they’ll look beyond that and treat...


Find out if your fish is female. Consider the time of year. Check your water temperature.

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

The best way to find out the sex of your goldfish is to ask when you buy the fish or to consult a vet. That said, females goldfish typically have plump bodies. When viewed from above, you can usually notice fuller bellies on the females, and slender midsections of the males. Also, the female pectoral fins (located just behind the gills) are shorter and rounder than those on males. Additionally, goldfish will generally not lay eggs until they are at least one year old. If your goldfish is kept outside, it will only spawn during the spring or early summer. If your goldfish has always been kept inside, it could spawn at any time of year. Think about what season it is when determining if your outdoor goldfish is pregnant. Goldfish are most likely to breed in water that is around 68 °F (20 °C). If you believe your goldfish may be preparing to spawn, check the temperature of your water to see if the temperature right.
