Figure out which approach to use. Consider judgmental approaches. Determine if you need to use an experimental approach. Consider using a relational/casual approach. Calculate demand using time series approaches.

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

There are four general approaches to forecasting demand. They include judgmental, experimental, relational/causal, and time series. Choose the best approach based on the history of your product. The experimental approach, for instance, is used mostly for new products that have no history data in the marketplace. These approaches are how you will gather most of your data. You can combine the approaches to create a more accurate demand forecast. This method draws upon the collective market insights observed by your sales team and managers to determine demand. These people can provide somewhat or, in some cases, very accurate demand forecasts based on their own personal knowledge and experience. However, the data you gather from them might be unreliable, as it relies on your experts' own personal views. For this reason, data derived from judgmental approaches are best used to make short term demand forecasts. There are several different ways of going about this, depending mainly on who you use for your panel. However, you don't need to use them all for a proper judgmental approach. You may choose or any combination of them to achieve your goals, depending on which groups you think would provide the most accurate judgment. This approach works best for new products, and it is not useful for existing products that have a historical demand record. This approach takes the results from a small number of customers and extrapolates the findings to a large number of customers. For example, if you contact 500 people at random in a particular city and 25% say they will buy your product within 6 months, you can assume this percentage applies to 5,000 people. If a small group of targeted customers loves a new technology and responds well to the test marketing, you can extrapolate that number to also forecast national demand. The problem with this approach is that it often collects more information about the customer’s preference towards your product rather than demand data. This approach attempts to find out why people buy...


Figure out which ear is making you have vertigo. Kneel on the floor. Lean your head to the floor. Turn your head. Raise the front of your body. Lift your head. Repeat this process. Sleep on your “good side” propped up for a week.

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

Sit on your bed so that your head hangs a little off the edge when you lie down. While sitting down, turn your head to the right, then lie down. Wait a minute and check for dizziness. Do it again on the left side. If you feel dizzy when you turn right, your right ear is your bad ear. If dizziness happens when you turn left, it's your left ear. Begin this method by kneeling on the floor. Don't rest your upper legs and buttocks on your calves. Your bent legs should instead form a right angle. Place your hands on the floor directly below your shoulders. Raise your chin and look up at the ceiling for about five to ten seconds. Put a towel or pad under your knees if you do not have carpeted flooring. While on your hands and knees, tuck your chin towards your chest as you lean your head towards the floor. Bend forward until you touch the floor with your forehead while keeping your hips elevated. Hold this position for around 30 seconds. While in this position, turn your head towards the side of the ear with the vertigo. You should be facing your shoulder. Hold this position for 30 seconds. For example, if your left ear is the affected ear, turn your head to the left. Quickly, lift your head and push yourself up until your back is flat. Your head should be at the same level as your back, so that your ear is parallel to the floor. Your head should be held in a 45 degree angle as you rest on all fours. Hold this position for 30 seconds. Lift your head so that the top of your head is pointing to the ceiling and your chin is pointing to the floor. Your head should still be angled towards the shoulder of your affected ear. Stand up very slowly. If you don't feel relief, do these steps again. It may take multiple tries for your vertigo to go away. However, rest for 15 minutes after the first attempt before you try again. While there isn't a limit to how many times you can try this maneuver, you may want to consult a doctor if it's not working for you after you try it three or more times. Lie down so your affected ear is...


Figure out which muscle of your thigh is cramping. Stretch out your hamstring. Stretch out your quads. Do some gentle exercises.

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

Before you can treat a thigh cramp with stretching, it’s important to identify which muscle on your thigh is cramping. The thigh has different muscles that can cramp. Identifying which of the major thigh muscles is cramping will help you stretch most effectively. This should typically be done by a healthcare professional, specifically a doctor, physical therapist or personal trainer.  The hamstring runs along the back of the thigh and affects hip and knee movement. The top of the hamstring connects under the gluteus maximus behind the hipbone and ends at the knee.  The quadriceps (often called “the quads”) runs along the front of the thigh and is the major extensor of the knee. The quadriceps is the strongest and leanest muscle of the body. If you have a cramp on the back of your thigh, stretch out your hamstring. There are different ways to stretch the hamstring that may help alleviate the cramp.  Using a towel or belt, lay flat on the ground and raise the affected leg. Wrap the belt or towel around the ball of your foot, grab the ends of the towel or belt, and gently pull your leg back. You can use one hand to massage the hamstring as you pull back your leg or wait until you’re finished stretching.  If you cannot lay down, you can do this same stretch with a belt or towel while seated. Sitting with your legs outstretched and simply bending forward will have the same effect. Don't strain against the tension of a tight, cramped muscle. Instead, pull very gently. Only increase the stretch as the tension in your leg releases. Consider walking around in between stretching to help relax your hamstring. If you have a cramp on the front of your thigh, stretch out your quad. There is one very effective stretch for the quad that may help alleviate the cramp.  To stretch a cramping quad, stand up and bend the affected leg up towards your gluteus maximus (butt). If you can, grab your foot and pull it towards your butt for a deeper stretch. Make sure to keep your knee in line with your thigh so that you do not injure...


Figure out which show would suit you. Look up the basic requirements for your chosen show. Research the audition process. Check to make sure filming dates work with your schedule.

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

Think about what you want to bring to the table. If you simply want to show off your personality, look for programs like The Real World or Big Brother where people simply live together while being filmed. If you're looking for something more specific, however, many shows are catered to particular talents.  Things like the Amazing Race and Survivor are great if you're athletically inclined. Look into cooking shows, like Hell's Kitchen or Top Chef, if you're a talented cook. If you're a singer, go for a singing competition like The X Factor. Requirements are usually listed on a show's website and vary greatly between shows. Most shows have an age requirement, usually requiring candidates to be at least 18, but other shows may have very specific requirements. The Bachelor, for instance requires residents be legal US citizens who are not currently running for political office. If you're not qualified for one show, do not panic. There are many reality shows on the market and you should be able to find one you're eligible to participate in. Some shows require you to apply online first, sometimes including a video of yourself. If the show is interested, they'll call you in for an audition. Other shows have open calls in various big cities. So you can begin applying as soon as possible, carefully research the audition process for your chosen show and start gathering the required materials. Most shows require contestants be willing to fully commit to a show if they're chosen. This means you'll need to be on call 24/7 if you want to be a contestant. See when the show will be shooting to make sure you can film without issue. Filming dates are not always publicized. You may want to ask a representative from the show during auditions. However, if you can't find out filming dates, you can always wait to hear back. If the dates don't work for you, you may have to wait until another season to film.


Figure out which track is faster or slower than the other. Speed up or slow down the pitch of track B to match the tempo of track A. Wait 20 seconds to see if the tracks start drifting apart again.

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

Pick an easily recognizable sound in track B that plays once or twice per bar. As you play track B at the same time as track A concentrate only on this sound and listen to where it falls on track A. You should start to notice that it either falls behind or races ahead of where it should be on track A.  Although it is easy to notice that the tracks are not at the same tempo, it may be difficult to determine which one is going faster or slower than the other. After a time the tracks will be so far apart that it becomes confusing to determine which is slower or faster. If this occurs stop track B and cue it to start over again. Use the pitch control slider to speed up or slow down track B. If you have not corrected enough and the drift still occurs then continue moving the pitch slider in the same direction. If you have gone too far and over-corrected then the correct pitch is somewhere in between your two pitch values and you can push the pitch slider in the opposite direction to find the perfect pitch.  On a CD player you will adjust pitch (called “pitch bending”) in the same way as on a vinyl turntable. The only difference is that you will be able to see a very accurate pitch percentage in the display, which can help with adjustments. If the tracks get so far apart that you can no longer tell which is faster or slower, then stop and cue up track B once more. This will happen a lot at the beginning; be patient and try again. If they do not drift until after 20-30 seconds that you have successfully beatmatched. Beatmatching perfectly (lasting minutes or more without drifting) is very hard to attain and not necessary. If after 20-30 seconds the two tracks begin to drift you can always adjust them a bit more. Once you play an actual party you will be so good at noticing the differences that you will adjust any misalignments before dancers even hear them.


Figure out why you feel like you deserve nothing. Remember that no one is perfect. Identify your automatic thoughts. Reexamine your automatic thoughts. Adjust your thoughts.

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

Understanding the source of your feelings is the first step to making changes.  Have you made a big life mistake? Do you feel like you are constantly making mistakes? Do you feel like there’s something in your past that you can’t let go of? Do you wish you were someone else? Everyone has flaws, even when they seem perfect on the outside. Even you might appear perfect to others. Sometimes we think unexamined thoughts and allow them to shape our worldview.  For example, you may think, “I don’t deserve this promotion, because I don’t work hard enough.” Work on noticing when you have thoughts like this. Is it true that you don’t work hard enough to deserve a promotion? Can you think of some ways that you have been competent at your job lately? Ways you have gone above and beyond? When you catch yourself thinking an automatic negative thought, try to turn it around. For example, when you catch yourself thinking you don’t deserve a promotion because you don’t work hard enough, say clearly and firmly to yourself, “I do deserve a promotion. I have been a faithful employee for five years. I met all of my target sales for the last six months.”


Figure out why you want to use mantra meditation. Find an appropriate mantra or mantras for your intention. Set an intention.

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

Every person has a different reason for meditating from health benefits to attaining a spiritual connection. Figuring out why you want to use mantra meditating will help you identify the best mantras to chant and time to dedicate to your meditation practice.  There are many different health benefits to mantra meditation including lower blood pressure and heart rate, decreased anxiety and depression, less stress, and greater feelings of relaxation and general well-being.  Mantra meditation can also have spiritual benefits such as liberating your mind and letting go of any attachment to things you can’t control. One of the goals of chanting mantras is to feel their subtle vibrations. This sensation can help you effect positive changes and enter a deep state of meditation. Each mantra has different vibrations and you want to find one that corresponds to your intention.  Repetition of mantras can help you disconnect from any thoughts that arise during meditation and also help keep you focused on your intention. There are many different mantras from which you can choose. The following are a few examples of powerful mantras that you can chant. Om or aum is the most basic and powerful mantra you can chant. This universal mantra will create powerful, positive vibrations in your lower abdomen. It is often combined with the mantra “Shanti,” which means peace in Sanskrit. You can repeat aum as many times as you wish for your chanting. Maha mantra, which is also called either the great mantra or Hare Krishna mantra, can help you achieve salvation and peace of mind. Repeat the entire mantra as many times as you like. It’s words are: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu is a mantra of cooperation and compassion and means “May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.” Repeat this mantra three or more times....


Figure out why your dog is barking. Give a command. Stand in front of your dog. Grab his muzzle. Ignore your dog. Reward your dog.

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

Golden retrievers, like any other dog, communicate verbally. Of course, they can’t talk, so instead, they bark. There are many types of barking, which are attempts to communicate different ideas and feelings. Understanding what your dog is trying to tell you is the first step to stopping it.  Listen to the pitch, frequency, and duration of his barking. Rapid, high-pitched barks are usually signs of a happy or excited dog. Slower barking, or growling, usually means your dog is feeling aggressive or threatened. These kinds of barks will probably require you to move or change certain things in order to take away the thing he thinks is threatening him.  In many cases, your dog’s barking is a way to get your attention because he is bored or anxious. He is expecting you to respond in some way. In order to stop him, the best thing will be to remain calm. If you hear a sequence of short, high-pitched yelps (not barks), that is a sign that your dog is in trouble and needs immediate assistance. Chances are your dog is barking at something, you need to distract him with something else. Giving him a command, something to do, will get him to stop momentarily.  Don’t shout the command, as that will only encourage your dog's behavior. Instead, give your command in a firm, but understated tone. This helps let your dog know that he can calm down, and there is no reason to be anxious. If you haven’t yet taught him to respond to a “Quiet” command, something else like “Sit” or “Stay” will work. You are trying to get him to turn his focus onto something else. In many instances, your golden will be barking at something, trying to alert you to its presence. This could be an animal, another person, or something else that has caught his eye. To get him to stop, you need to change his focus.  Look at the direction your dog is barking, and stand between him and what he is barking at. This lets him know that you are not worried about the other thing, and that he shouldn’t be either. This is a good time to give a command, something for...


Figure out why your gums are bleeding. Know why it's important to stop gum disease in its tracks. Take a trip to the dentist.

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

Bleeding gums aren't always a symptom of gum disease, though that's the most common reason they occur. Bleeding gums can be a symptom of other medical issues having nothing to do with your dental hygiene. If you suspect your bleeding gums are related to something other than poor brushing and flossing habits, see your doctor to discuss ways to address the problem. Bleeding gums can be related to the following conditions:  Hormonal changes. Diabetes. Heart disease. Clotting disorders. Cancers, like Leukemia. AIDS. Scurvy. Blood thinning medications. Genetic factors/genetic syndromes. Contraceptive pills. Gum disease, which is caused by the buildup of plaque on the gums and teeth, is very common among adults over the age of 35. It starts with gingivitis, which is the inflammation and swelling of the gums that leads to bleeding and pain. Left untreated, gingivitis can turn into the more severe periodontitis, which causes the gums and oral bones to weaken and can lead to tooth loss. This process may be slow lasting several years, or fast if aggressive bacteria are involved and the periodontitis has a rapid and progressive evolution. Gum disease is also related to other severe medical conditions like heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease because of constantly storing bacteria that can easily enter the bloodstream. The best way to fight gum disease is to get a head start by going to the dentist for a deep cleaning. Your dentist will help you figure out why your gums are bleeding. Your dentist can demonstrate the proper way to brush and floss, clean away your built-up plaque, and let you know whether you need to be treated for periodontitis.  Regular trips to the dentist - at least once every six months - are an important way to combat gum disease. It's not possible to brush and floss away every little bit of plaque before it turns into hard tartar on your teeth, unless the brush used is accurate in allowing small up/down movements,  and once it becomes tartar you can't remove it yourself. Your dentist has the...


Figure out your budget. Take into account construction costs. Calculate how much you'll need to spend to stock your bar. Take into account your prospective employees wages. Figure out where you’ll get the money.

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

Most likely, you'll need well over $100,000 dollars to open your bar. This number could be reasonable if you plan to open in a small town in rural Mississippi, but if you plan to open up shop in New York City or Los Angeles, you'll need to be prepared to raise five times that amount or more. Remember that roughly 75% of bars/restaurants that open close within the first year. Don't let your bar go out of business because you didn't anticipate the exorbitant costs of starting a successful bar. If your budget can't survive at least startup plus a few months running without netting a dime before you have to give up, then forget it. The last thing you want is to start the bar and then run out of money before business builds up to a profitable level. If necessary, choose a different location or find some other way to cut expenses.  Remember, this should all be planned out before you take any other steps. If the bar you want has not been constructed yet, add several months and thousands of dollars on top of your other costs to build it. Remember that construction is a timely process and most likely will take longer than projected. There is no formula for a perfectly stocked bar. It all depends on how many people you attract to your bar and how much they consume. Some bars that focus on “beer crowds” will want to have a variety of beers on hand, while a wine bar will want to have a great selection of wines. This being said, there is a standard set of drinks, liquors, liqueurs, and mixers that every bar will want to have. Saying “we don’t sell that drink here” to a customer could cause them to leave, so be ready for anything. Be sure to have gin, vodka, rum, whiskey, tequila, and brandy in addition to beer and wine. These are starter liquors. They can be consumed by themselves or combined with various other ingredients to form thousands of drinks. This isn’t going to be a one-man operation. You’ll need bartenders, waiters/waitresses, a host/hostess, chefs, a janitorial staff, book keepers, managers for while you are...


Figure out your dog’s birth date (or at least year). Research life expectancy dates by breed. Determine whether your dog is classified as small, medium, large or giant.

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

This is the starting point. Get it from the breeder or pet store. They should have a record.  If you don’t know the actual age and can’t find it, you could estimate the dog’s age by his or her teeth. By 8 weeks, dogs have all of their baby teeth. By 7 months, they have all permanent teeth, and their teeth are white and clean. By 3-5 years, you will see some tooth wear and tartar buildup. By 5-10, teeth show signs of disease. By 10-15, teeth are worn, with heavy tartar buildup and some are missing. A vet can also help you guess the dog’s age with a thorough physical examination. Older dogs often have cloudy eyes, gray hair, loose skin, and stiff legs. Some breeds live longer than other breeds do. This will help you understand how to put your dog’s age in context.  For example, Bulldogs live about 7 years and Great Danes live about 8.5 years. You can find charts listing life expectancy for all breeds online.  Smaller dogs can live a lot longer. Miniature poodles can live up to 15 years.  That’s about the highest age you will see a dog live to. Small dogs are generally 20 pounds or less.  Realize that the size and breed can matter. Small dogs usually live longer than large dogs do, although they might age more quickly in the first few years of life.  A large dog will probably reach middle age around the age of 5. Tiny dogs probably aren’t old until they are about age 10.  Medium-sized dogs fall somewhere in between. Medium dogs range from 21-50 pounds, large dogs from 51-90 pounds, and giant dogs are generally over 90 pounds. This will matter when looking up online charts of dog ages, which sometimes break down the age estimates by dog size.


Figure out your friend’s favorite snacks. Get some travel-sized essentials. Include a distraction. Throw in something that will make your friend smile.

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

Sometimes you may want to have a survival kit available in your locker, or a mini-kit that you can carry around with you. In this case, you'll have to make the kit smaller, so only focus on smaller things and the bare essentials. People often turn to comfort foods during bad times, and good food ideas for a mini kit include:  Mini candy bars Snack-sized granola bars Small snacks like crackers or cookies A couple sticks of gum or a few mints You may not have room for an entire spa worth of aromatherapy and relaxation products in your mini kit, but you can throw in a couple items that may help alleviate stress and calm your friend. You can look for travel-sized versions of aromatherapy items like:  Scented lotions and creams Colognes and perfumes (try to find your friend’s favorite scent) Scented candles (look for tea light or votive candles) Since you won’t have a lot of extra room, focus on small games and puzzles. If you include a paper puzzle, don’t forget a pen or pencil! Small and packable games you can have in your mini kit include:  Sudoku Word searches and crosswords Small wooden puzzles Cards from a trivia game A deck of cards A mini Rubik’s cube Car or travel-sized versions of popular games like checkers This will depend on your friend’s personality, so you're going to have to dig deep to think about inside jokes, preferences, memories, and other things that will mean something to a specific friend. You could throw in:  Some jokes Comics A coupon for a free hug A cute or funny picture or card A small toy Some philosophical words of wisdom or a poem


Figure out your main points. Rephrase any confusing or incoherent sentences. Provide all the necessary details.

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

After paraphrasing a sentence or paragraph, read the original text. Try to restate the main point in one or two sentences. Then, reread your paraphrased words to make sure the original point is reflected there. For example, suppose the original sentence reads, "In East of Eden, Steinbeck's characters are caught in a morally ambiguous divide between good and evil." The main point here is that characters in East of Eden live in a gray area.  Reread your sentence. Suppose it says, "Steinbeck tries to illustrate how characters choose between good and evil." This sentence misses the point, as it glosses over the gray area. Tweak your sentence to reflect the main point. For example, "Steinbeck tries to illustrate how his characters exist between good and evil." Often, in an effort to paraphrase without plagiarizing, sentences often become poorly constructed and confusing. Read through your paraphrased words and watch out for sentences that are difficult to understand. For example, say you wrote, "Characters in Mrs. Dalloway all suffer trauma due to World War I, which is illustrated through Clarissa being frightened by a car malfunctioning and more dramatically through the shellshocked Septimus Smith." This sentence is too long. It should be broken into smaller sentences. For example, "Characters in Mrs. Dalloway all suffer from trauma due to World War I. This is illustrated when Clarissa is frightened by a car malfunctioning. It is later shown more dramatically through the shellshocked Septimus Smith." When striving to rewrite content, it can be easy to inadvertently leave out necessary details. Good paraphrasing should never be vague. Reread your words to make sure you conveyed all the necessary information.  For example, say a sentence says, "The murders occurred in 1991, in a small suburb just outside of Chicago at roughly nine o'clock in the morning." You wrote, "The family was killed near Chicago." Rewrite the above sentence to add the missing details. For example, "The family was killed in a suburb outside...


Figure out your options. Learn about treatments that focus on your thoughts. Learn about treatments that prioritize behavior or environment change. Search online for resources. Visit a psychologist or counselor in-person. Buy a Punching Bag and a pair of boxing gloves.

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

There are many different approaches to anger management and many different ways to get treatment for anger issues. There is no need to restrict yourself to only one approach; if you try one approach and you are not satisfied with the outcome, after you're sure you've given it an honest attempt, try moving on to the next treatment option or try combining multiple techniques. Some treatments emphasize changing patterns of thinking or provide techniques to become and remain calm.  One approach focuses on relaxation. Relaxation techniques include deep breathing, imagining relaxing imagery, or slow exercises such as yoga; all of these techniques can help to quell anger. Relaxation techniques may be the best fit for you if you enjoy reducing stress primarily through your body.   Another approach is called cognitive re-structuring, which just means to change the way that you think. This approach emphasizes the use of logic and avoidance of certain words such as "never" or "always" to overcome the thoughts that cause or contribute to anger. This approach may be the best fit for you if you often find yourself in your head exacerbating your anger with certain thoughts or ways of thinking. Some treatments emphasize direct, actionable change as a way to reduce actual elicit of anger. These can be used in isolation or in combination with techniques that focus on changing ways of thinking.  One method emphasizes the use of problem solving. Sometimes frequent anger is not necessarily an overreaction to events but reflects an adaptive response to try to overcome real and important problems that have been difficult to surmount. Taking a problem-focused approach may be your best option if you feel this is true of your situation and your relationship with anger.   Sometimes it may be best to change your environment. In some cases, there are factors in your environment that contribute to excessive anger and one effective way to manage anger can be to work to change your environment in some way. For example, if your job has many...


Figure out your own feelings first. Consider your chances.  Find out if your crush is already interested in somebody else. Check your crush for signs of attraction. Make sure there are no outstanding issues in your current friendship. Make sure your lives are relatively stable.

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

It's important to first ask yourself whether your feelings are really strong enough to warrant taking things to the next level. There are many different levels and types of attraction. In some cases, your feelings may not be strong enough to warrant moving forward with them; in other situations it's better to wait a while and see. If you feel you really want to admit your feelings however, you owe it to yourself to follow through with it. It's probably not the sort of thing you want to be thinking about realistically when you first become attracted to someone, but it is nonetheless important to consider just how likely your crush is to return your feelings. Has he shown you any signs of attraction beyond friendship, or has he turned you away whenever things have gotten personal? Weighing the risk of telling your feelings is important if you don't want to risk the friendship. You can do more harm than good by letting a friend know your real feelings, especially if the whole thing is approached incorrectly. Finding out about your crush's other potential interests is an important part of weighing your own chances. Letting someone know you have feelings for him is a big risk, especially if you really value the existing relationship you share together. With that in mind, it's a good idea to make sure someone hasn't beaten you to the chase before going in yourself. Even if someone might be interested in you otherwise, there's very little chance he'll strike up a relationship if he's actively pursuing someone else at the time. Note the difference between real interest and passing attraction. If your friend has called a member of the opposite sex 'good-looking' or even 'hot', that doesn't necessarily mean he's wanting to date them. On the contrary, he may even be testing you to see if you'll react when he says something like that. Signs of attraction, whether conscious or unconscious, will usually shine through in a given interaction, even if it's just a friendship on the surface level so far. If your crush likes...


Figure out your school’s or teacher’s grading policies. Pick easy classes. Plan out your time wisely. Start studying early on.

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

The best way to set a solid foundation is to thoroughly understand the rules of the grading game. Does your teacher give more points for one assignment over another? If so, it might behoove you to pay more attention to one assignment over another. If you are in high school, are some classes worth more — e.g. AP courses? If so, you’ll want to concentrate your efforts there. In most states, AP classes are actually worth more towards your overall GPA, but the classes are more demanding. This is not to mention that AP courses replace college courses. So if you'd like to skip core or introductory college classes, then focus on your AP studies. Look at previous syllabi and talk to other students. Figure out what each class looks like ahead of time and pick the one that seems the easiest. In any educational program, you’ll have a set of mandatory classes and electives. Sometimes, the elective courses can be filled by a variety of subjects. If your goal is to “get good grades with no effort”, choose a subject you feel comfortable with, you think is easy, or you’ve already mastered. Keep in mind that there is no universal “easy A” class. It all depends on the teacher. A “shop” class can be very easy or really difficult. So too can a trigonometry class be a piece of cake or a terrible experience. Use a day planner to schedule your class time, study time, and time for all of the other activities you have to complete over the course of the semester. At the beginning of the year, map out when your assignments are due and even include reminders to get started on assignments. Time management is the key to getting good grades efficiently. Many of us have a tendency to put school work off. Time with family and friends seem to take greater preference especially as the deadline for a particular assignment seems so far away. In order to do well in school, you need to start at the beginning of term. Get a solid foundation at the beginning of the school year so you aren’t stressing at the end. Get good grades from the beginning....


Figure out your skin type Wash your face Use a cleanser that is suited to your skin type (it should be stated clearly on the bottle). Use toner Apply moisturizer Exfoliate regularly Always remove your makeup. Keep cleansing wipes on hand. Give your skin a makeup break. Get rid of old makeup. Don't forget the sunscreen

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

. The first step to perfect skin is to figure out a skincare routine that works for you. Everybody's skin is unique, so what works for another person may not work for you. Take a long, hard look at your skin and decide whether it's normal, sensitive, dry, oily, or a combination.  If you have normal skin, you're lucky! Your skin doesn't get oily, your pores are small, your skin tone looks even and you rarely suffer from breakouts.  Sensitive skin tend to be very reactive - it may become dry, itchy or irritated depending on the weather, your lifestyle, and the products you use.  Dry skin usually feels tight after cleansing and can suffer from roughness or flakiness, especially when exposed to cold weather or dry air. Dry skin is prone to wrinkling, and tends to have no visible pores.  Oily skin can become greasy and shiny-looking within an hour after washing. The oil may even seep through your makeup and cause it to slide off. Oily skin is prone to blemishes and breakouts, and has visible pores.  Combination skin means that your skin can be dry and oily. It might be flaky and rough around the edges, but oily along the t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Combination skin tends to have visible pores only in the t-zone area. In addition, whether you have a light skin tone, medium skin tone or dark skin tone will also dictate what issues your skin is prone to, and should be taken into consideration when choosing skincare products. twice a day. Washing your face is super important as it cleans away dirt, oil, bacteria and traces of make-up that would otherwise be left sitting on your skin.  Stick to washing your face twice a day - once in the morning to cleanse any oil that has built up overnight, and once in the evening to remove any dirt and make-up from the day. If you don’t use makeup, you may not need to wash your face twice a day. Pin your hair back before you begin washing, to ensure that you have access to all the edges of your face. To cleanse your face, splash your face with warm water. Hot water can be too...


Figure out your type of lisp. Perfect your t and d first. Adopt the butterfly position. Attempt the s sound. Extend the t and th sounds. Place the tongue behind the lower teeth if your s is still slushy. Practice your s sounds daily. Consider a session with a speech language pathologist.

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

These two types of speech impediments affect the s and z sounds in different ways, but they can be improved by similar exercises. Read this section if you have either of these symptoms:  Lateral lisp: s comes out as a "slushy" or "wet" sound. You hold your tongue in a position similar to an L sound, and this lower position allows air to escape out the sides of your mouth. Palatal lisp: s comes out as a hy sound, created by the mid-section of your tongue contacting the soft palate way back on the roof of your mouth. The exercises below will only work if you can say the sounds t and d. If you have trouble with these as well, your speech impediment may involve difficulty raising your tongue tip, or difficult raising the sides of your tongue. Practice the t and d sounds until you can enunciate them clearly, with no air rushing out the sides of your mouth. Visit a speech language pathologist if you have difficulty with this step. Any speech exercise may be easier with a partner who can identify when you are making a mistake. If you have trouble noticing the difference between the correct and incorrect forms, self-training may not work well. Say a prolonged "ee" as in "steep" and pay attention to the position of your tongue. The sides of your tongue should press against the upper side teeth. The center of your tongue should be held lower in your mouth, forming a groove above it where air can pass through. If you're having trouble understanding this description, imagine your tongue in the shape of a butterfly: the central strip of your tongue forms the butterfly's narrow body, and the sides of your tongue form its upraised wings.  Have someone else read this description and check whether you have achieved it. Don't try to move on to the next step until you can form this tongue position. Visit a speech language pathologist if you cannot do it. If you can roll your tongue, you may instead stick your tongue tip forward, then rolling the edges of your tongue up to your upper teeth. Blow air through the groove formed by...


File a lawsuit. Prove the elements of a hostile workplace claim. Present evidence of harassment. Show that the harassment is pervasive or severe. Impute liability to your employer.

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

You can start your lawsuit by filing a complaint in the appropriate court. If you have a lawyer, they will draft it for you. The complaint alleges facts surrounding the work environment and asks the court for relief (such as lost wages or reinstatement in a job).  Generally, you will file in federal district court if you are suing under federal antidiscrimination law. If you are suing under your state’s antidiscrimination law, then you will file in a state court. In order to bring suit, you need a “Notice of Right-to-Sue” letter from the administrative agency that you filed your initial charge with. The EEOC will issue the letter after conducting its investigation. You have 90 days to file a lawsuit from the date you receive your letter.  If you want to sue before the EEOC has completed its investigation, then you will need to ask for the Right-to-Sue letter. At least 180 days must have passed since you filed the charge with EEOC. If so, then send a letter to the director of the office investigating your charge. The agency will close the investigation once it issues the letter. What you need to prove will differ slightly depending on the court you are suing in. Generally, to prove a hostile workplace claim you must show that:  you were harassed because of a protected characteristic the harassment was unwelcome the harassment was so pervasive or severe as to create an abusive work environment there is some basis to impute liability to the employer The hardest part of a hostile workplace claim will be proving that the harassment happened “because of” your protected characteristic. In other words, your race, age, gender, religion, etc. must have been the motivation for the harassment. Offensive, vulgar, and abusive statements unrelated to your protected characteristic will not qualify.   For example, you may have been called a “dwarf” or “half-wit” by a boss. However, if you are claiming gender discrimination, then these comments will not help you as there is no logical connection between them and gender. ...


File a petition to terminate support. Fill out a petition. File the petition. Attend a hearing. Take a possible appeal.

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

Sometimes the court will terminate a parent’s support obligations. However, this only happens in certain specified situations:  You have no income. Most states will grant a non-custodial parent’s petition to temporarily suspend child support if the parent has lost his or her job or has become disabled and is in the process of applying for disability benefits. You are being incarcerated. Some states will allow temporary suspension for incarceration; however, other states will not. The child reaches the age of majority. In most states, a parent can stop paying when a child reaches the age of majority (18 in most states). However, in some states a parent is obligated to pay until the child reaches 21. The child dies. Even at the child’s death, you must petition the court to stop payments. You cannot just stop paying on your own. Your state probably has prepared “fill in the blank” forms for you to fill out. You must find the right form to modify your child support payments. In different states it will go by different names: “Petition/Motion to Modify Child Support,” “Motion Regarding Support,” or some other title.  You can always ask the court clerk what form you need to fill out. Although the court clerk cannot offer legal advice, he or she should be able to point you to the right form to fill out. If you have questions, see if the court has a self-help center or a family law facilitator. Because family law cases make up such a bulk of the court’s docket, many courts have staff who can answer legal questions and help you fill out forms. You will need to take the completed petition to the court clerk to file. Be prepared to pay a filing fee.  If you can’t afford the fee, then ask for a fee waiver form and fill it out. You will also need to serve notice on the other parent. Typically, notice can be served personally using the sheriff, a professional process server, or someone over 18 who is not involved in the case. Ask the court clerk for the form you need to fill out and how to pay any applicable fees...


File a report to a national database. Check the website of your city or police. Inform a local DMV if someone you know is a reckless driver. Email the government to report a government vehicle.

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

If you were able to get the license plate number of the car, you can submit the information to a national database, such as http://reportdangerousdrivers.com/. You can also use an app like Bad Driver. Many local police departments and city transportation departments have online forms where you can report reckless drivers. If they do, fill out their online form.  To find out if this is available in your area, you can search online for the name of your city or county with the words "report reckless driver." For example, you might type the words "Charlotte report reckless driver" or "Orange County report traffic violation." You may need to send an email. In this email, you might write, "I noticed a red Mustang speeding down I-95 this morning around 9:00AM. They were weaving in and out of traffic and nearly collided with a truck. I have attached a photo of their license plate. Thanks." If you know the identity of an unsafe driver, you can request for your local department of motor vehicles to give them a new driving exam. Some departments have online forms for this. You may need to email others. In most cases, this information can be given anonymously. On this form, you should:  Identify who needs to be reexamined. If possible, provide their driver’s license number or their license plate number. Provide a reason why they should be reexamined (medical issue, alcohol problem, declining eyesight, etc.) State your relationship to the driver (family member, friend, court appointed sponsor, etc.) In your email, include as much information as you can about the car. Include its make, model, color, and description. Attach any photos or videos you have of the reckless driving. This will help the government investigate the driver.  In the US, any license plate number beginning with G is owned by the government.  You can email howsmydriving@gsa.gov to report the reckless driver. In Australia, contact your state government. If a police car is the problem, you may want to contact the police department directly to complain. ...


File a written application. Attend your interviews and hearing. Await the results of the informal investigation.

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

Conscientious objectors are excused from military service in many countries. In the US, they not only include members of pacifist churches like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Quakers, Mennonites, and Amish but also anyone who claims, and can prove, to have a  “firm, fixed and sincere objection to participation in war in any form or the bearing of arms, by reason of religious training and belief.” There are also two distinct classes: Class 1-O and Class 1-A-O. The first is for people who sincerely object to any participation in war whatsoever. The second group object to participation in war as combatants, but not to participation in a non-combatant role.  To start the process, you will have to file a formal application. You will have to document your views and prove to the investigators of your claim that you are not objecting simply to avoid service or out of expedience. You have to show that your reasons are based on sincere belief. Your investigators will judge your participation in a religious organization, your pattern of conduct, whether your beliefs were shaped by serious ethical or moral study, and other factors. You will most likely be interviewed as part of the review of your conscientious objector application. Very probably you will have to speak with a psychologist, a military chaplain (a pastor, rabbi, or imam depending on your religious affiliation), and finally an investigating officer in a hearing. They will be judging the sincerity of your beliefs and whether your claim is credible. Again, you will have to give detailed information about your beliefs and their basis as well as your religious life. You may also be able to have third parties testify on your behalf. Keep in mind that your interviews are not “privileged.” This means, for example, that they can ask confidential questions about you from a chaplain who knows you previously. In this case, you should request to be interviewed by a different chaplain. After the interviews, the investigating officer will file a report on your case. This...


File an appeal with your city council or county commission. Dispute the zoning board’s decision. File a lawsuit in circuit court seeking a certiorari review of the decision. Wait for a decision from the court.

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

If your zoning application is denied, you may be able to file an appeal with your local governing body.  You will have to pay additional filing fees.  The appeal process may take up to two months to go through the system.  An appeal must be filed within a specific time period after the public hearing for your zoning application. You have a chance of convincing your governing body to reverse the zoning board’s decision if you can show that the decision deprives you of your right to use the property.  Demonstrate how your intentions for the property do not negatively impact the surrounding area.  Also, point out whether the board’s decision was arbitrary or was not supported by the facts. If the city council or county commission denies your appeal, you can file a lawsuit in circuit court.  The circuit court will perform a certiorari review of the case.  This means that they will request a transcript of the proceedings in order to review the case. The zoning board will submit a transcript and sworn copies of the record to the circuit court. The court will either affirm, reverse or modify the zoning board’s decision.  In most cases, the circuit court defers to the ruling of the zoning board.  Even if the court would have made a different decision, it usually upholds the zoning board’s ruling as long as it is supported by the evidence and is in accordance with the law.  If the court does overturn the zoning board’s decision, the case will be sent back to the zoning board along with the court’s recommendations.


File for an exemption. Defer your service. Refuse to serve.

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

Most countries make certain exemptions from conscription. For example, religious students in Israel were until recently exempt from the draft. You are exempt from a future draft in the United States under the following conditions: you are from a family in which a parent or sibling has died or is missing in military action; your absence would cause your family economic hardship; you are a minister; you are in school to be a minister; you are an immigrant or dual citizen.  Remember that the US does not currently have a draft. You can only file an exemption claim in the future, after getting orders to report, to the closest Selective Service office.  Some countries, including the US until recently, prohibit gay people from serving. This is still the case in Turkey, where, however, you have to submit “proof” of your status by answering questions, providing pictures, or worse. Making use of this exemption can get you out of a draft, but can be traumatic and humiliating.  Some countries also allow you to pay an exemption fee to get out of military service. In Turkey, this fee was recently lowered from 10,000 to 6,000 Euros. Still, the cost is so expensive that only well off families can afford it. If you are not exempt, you still may be able to put off entering the military. Many countries offer deferments for education, for example. According to US law, high school students may defer their service in any future draft until they graduate or reach the age of 20. College students may defer until the end of their term. You can defer your service until the end of your studies if you are becoming a minister. The law in the United States also provides for appeals to draft status. If, in the event of a future draft, you file to change your draft classification, you automatically get a deferral until your claim is processed. This is a final option. Just don’t do it. However, you will have to face harsh consequences for refusal. In the US, during wartime and peacetime drafts, people have been jailed for refusing to be...


File items under their significant term. Order names by surname. Ignore articles, conjunctions, and prepositions. Treat abbreviations as though they were spelled out. File numerals ordinarily. Deal with any special characters. Use the general rule “nothing before something” when necessary. Distinguish files by more detailed information, when necessary. Publicize exceptions and special rules.

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

Sometimes, it makes sense to file items based on key words, regardless of the order that words in a title or name appear. This ensures that a file can be indexed and located using the most logical term. For instance “First Bank of Chicago” could be indexed and filed as “Chicago, First Bank of.” “Chicago” is the key term in this entry, rather than “First” or “Bank,” especially if you might have other items with similar names, such as “First Bank of Tulsa” or “Chicago Bank and Trust.” Typical filing standards recommend indexing individuals by last name first, since the surname is considered the significant term.  Thus, “Jane A. Doe” would be indexed and filed as “Doe, Jane A.” Put titles (Dr., Mrs., Major, etc.) at the end. “Dr. Jane A. Doe,” for instance, would be indexed and filed as “Doe, Jane A., Dr.” Generally, order names as they are spelled, letter-by-letter. For instance, “MacDonald” would come before “McDonald.” Likewise, “D’,” “L’,” “Le,” “de,” etc. are considered as part of name, not separate units. For instance, order files “Heinlein,” “Le Guin” “L’Engle,” and “Wolfe” in that order (and NOT as “L’Engle, “Le Guin,” “Heinlein,” “Wolfe”). A common exception to these rules about names is when an individual’s name forms part of a business or organization name. In these cases, treat the individual’s name as units within the business name. For instance, “Jane A. Doe Pest Control” would be filed under “J,” and NOT indexed as “Doe, Jane A. Pest Control.” Articles (such as “a,” “an,” and “the”), conjunctions (such as “and,” “but,” and “or”), and prepositions (such as “for,” “of,” and “in”) are generally skipped when indexing and filing alphabetically, since they are not considered significant terms. This is the case even when they form the beginning of an item’s name. For instance:  “An Investigation of Emu Feeding Practices” would be in filed under “E,” for “Emu” (the significant word in this item’s title), rather than “A” for “an.” “Doe and Smith Pest Control” would be filed after “Doe, Jane A.” Both...


File paperwork with your jurisdiction. Create an operating document. Acquire required licenses. Register with the government if necessary. Create an account to trade. Obtain tax IDs to pay taxes in your jurisdiction.

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

If you form a corporation or LLC, you'll need to file Articles of Incorporation or Organization with your state's Secretary of State. Generally, there should be printed, fill-in-the-blank forms you can use. You'll need to provide basic information about your company, such as its principal place of business, registered agent, and the name of one or more directors or incorporators.  You'll also need to pay a filing fee, which will vary depending on your jurisdiction. You might be able to register online, which can speed up the approval process. You'll need rules in place for running your investment company. You should find sample documents from other investment companies. These documents will explain who can make business decisions and how. Typically, you don't file these documents. Instead, you store them at your principal place of business.  If you form a corporation, you'll need to draft bylaws. In your bylaws, you should discuss how people can be appointed as officers or board members. Also explain how shareholder or board of director meetings can be called.  If you form a partnership, you'll need a partnership agreement. Your agreement should explain the ownership percentage and how profits and losses are allocated. You also want to clarify who can bind the partnership and what will happen if a partner dies.  If you form a LLC, you'll need to draft an operating agreement. This document will be similar to a partnership agreement. Identify the owners and their percentage of ownership. Also divide profits and losses. Investment advisors typically need one or more licenses to practice in their jurisdictions. You should thoroughly research the requirements and give yourself enough time to pass the written exams. In the U.S., for example, licensed financial advisors have a Series 65 license. To obtain it, you'll need to pass a three-hour exam on basic securities laws and ethics. Once you pass, you'll be a licensed investment advisor in your state. Talk to your lawyer about your registration requirements. In the...


File the correct petition. Check visa availability in your category. File Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residency or Adjust Status.

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

Once you figure out what immigrant category you belong to, you'll need to have your family or employer file an immigrant petition for you. In rare cases, you'll file one yourself.  If you're obtaining a green card through your family, your relative must file Form I-130, the Petition for Alien Relative. If you're obtaining a green card through your employer, your employer must file Form I-140, Petition for an Alien Worker. If you're an entrepreneur investing money, you need to file Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur. If you're in a special category such as a widow or widower, file Form I-360.  If you're a refugee or asylee, you most likely don't need an underlying petition if you meet the requirements to adjust status. Once your relative, employer or you yourself file your initial petition, you need to check to see whether a visa is available before filing the remaining application forms. The number of visas available differs according to your immigrant category and the country from which you are emigrating.  There are an unlimited number of visas available for people applying for a green card through immediate relatives.  There is a limited number of visas available to those applying for green cards through family that is not immediate and for employment purposes. You will receive a priority date and be put on a waiting list until a visa becomes available.  You'll receive a "Visa Bulletin" that will allow you to check your place in the visa queue. You have to wait for a visa to become available before this form can be filed. Read the instructions on the form and make sure to submit all of the required documents and information. Be sure to send your forms to the correct address.  If you're applying for a green card through an immediate family member, you can file form I-485 at the same time your relatives files your petition, since there are unlimited visas available in your category. There is a filing fee of $1070.

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

Once you have completed and checked all of your paperwork, you will be ready to file. To file the forms, you should try to get help from the prison's legal service. Bring all of the required paperwork with you and say that you want to file divorce papers.   Your prison's legal service should file the papers for you. They should also give you the documents that you will need along with proof that they filed the forms. If your prison does not have a legal services program that handles divorces, ask a trustworthy friend or family member to file the papers for you with the clerk of the court where you will be getting divorced. Your spouse must receive notice of the divorce proceedings in order for the court to proceed with the case. You can either serve the divorce papers on your spouse by certified mail or in person.  To serve the papers by mail, you will need to pay to have the papers sent by certified mail. If it is sent by certified mail, your spouse will have to sign for the papers.

Fill a bathtub or a large basin with warm water and soap. Place the slides and the main body into the bathtub to soak. Clean the slides and tubing of your trumpet. Clean the body of the trumpet. Rinse your slides and trumpet body with warm water. Dry your slides and trumpet body with a washcloth. Set the body and slides aside to air-dry.

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

The water should be moderately warm, but not scalding. Be sure to fill the tub with enough water to fully immerse the body of your trumpet. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap into the tub. Lay a towel on the bottom of the tub to protect your trumpet from scratching. Your slides should remain in the tub for about 1 minute, while the body can soak for up to 5-10 minutes. Use a cleaning snake or brass saver to clear debris from the insides of the tubing. Run the snake gently through the insides of your slides and tubing once they're finished soaking in the tub. Be careful not to force the snake into any tight areas in the tubing, as this might damage their interior. Dip a washcloth into the soapy bath water, and use the cloth to wash the outside of the trumpet body, the inside of the bell, and the outsides of your slides and tubing. This step allows you to sanitize the exterior of your instrument. For the body, flush clean, lukewarm water through the bell of the horn until it runs clean and soap-free from the other end of the horn, where the mouthpiece is usually attached, and then rinse the outside of the body until all of the suds are gone. Flush water through the slides until they are free of soap as well. Dry one piece at a time, and use caution with the washcloth to avoid damaging any part of your instruments. Gently run the washcloth along the exterior of your slides and trumpet body in order to absorb all excess moisture. When you're finished drying the exterior of these parts with the washcloth, allow their insides to dry by placing them on a thick towel on a dry surface or countertop. Place the slides near the places where they will eventually be reinserted into the trumpet to avoid mixing them up later on.


Fill a bowl with water that's at least 106–111 °F (41–44 °C). Store your washed eggs in the fridge.

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

Use a shallow bowl since you don't need to fully submerge your eggs. Use a thermometer to make sure the temperature of the water is between 106–111 °F (41–44 °C) so bacteria is less likely to contaminate your eggs. Put the bowl on a counter or table near your sink.  If you wash your eggs in cold water, they will pull harmful bacteria into the shell and contaminate them. Avoid using water any hotter than 111 °F (44 °C) since it could start to boil your eggs. If you plan on selling your eggs, check your state's food regulations since they may require you to use a detergent or sanitizer when you wash your eggs. Put your eggs in a reusable egg carton or a large bowl and place them in your fridge. Keep them away from any strong-smelling foods, such as onions or fish, since your eggs could absorb the scent and change flavors. Keep your eggs in the fridge for up to 1 month. You cannot store eggs you washed with water at room temperature because they have lost their “bloom,” which is the protective coating on the outside of the shell.


Fill a bowl with water. Stir some liquid soap into the water. Squeeze some construction silicone into the water. Knead the silicone while it is submerged. Form the putty into a thick disk. Press your desired item into the silicone. Let the silicone harden. Pull the item out of the mold. Use the mold.

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

The water should be about room temperature—not too warm and not too cold. It should be deep enough for you to stick your hand into. You can use just about any type of liquid soap, including: body wash, dish soap, and hand soap. Keep stirring until the soap has completely dissolved and no streaks remain.  Plan on using about 1 part soap to 10 parts water.  You can also add liquid glycerin. The glycerin will react with the silicone and cause it to clump together. Purchase a tube of pure silicone from the home improvement store; make sure it is not the quick-set kind. Squeeze enough of the silicone into the bowl to cover your desired item with.  Construction silicone may also be labeled as silicone caulk. If your tube of silicone did not come with a syringe, you will need to purchase a caulking gun, insert the tube, cut the end off, then poke a hole in the tip. Put on a pair of plastic gloves, and reach into the water. Grab the silicone with your fist and squish it together. Knead it until it is no longer sticky while keeping it under the water. This will take about 5 minutes. Begin by rolling the putty into a ball between your palms. Press it against a flat surface, and lightly push down on it. It still needs to be thicker than the item you will be molding. If the silicone is sticky, coat your hands and work surface with a thin layer of your liquid soap. Make sure that you are pressing the item with the design side face-down into the putty. Gently press the edges of the mold against the item so that no gaps remain. Silicone will never turn rock-solid; it will always remain flexible. Simply wait a few hours for the silicone to turn rigid enough so that you can still flex it, but no longer dent it. Take the mold by the edges, and bend it backwards and away from the item. The item should loosen or pop out on its own. Tilt the mold upside-side to tip the item out. Fill the mold with clay, then pull the clay out, and let it dry. You can also try to use resin in this mold as well, but let it cure and harden first.


Fill a bowl with white vinegar. Soak a clean cloth in the vinegar. Wipe down the blades with the cloth.

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

Vinegar is an excellent, natural cleaner. Pour white vinegar into a small bowl.  Do not dilute the white vinegar with water. While soapy water with alcohol-based products will dry out your scissors, causing them to rust, vinegar will not. Retrieve a fresh rag. Dip the clean rag into the dish of white vinegar. Allow the vinegar to absorb into the rag.  You may wish to wring out the rag to remove excess vinegar. Use a thick rag—it will protect your from the blades. Open up the blades of your scissors. Slowly and carefully run the cloth over the blades to remove the adhesive. Dip the cloth in vinegar as needed.  When you wipe the blades, begin at the base of the handles and move down towards the tips. If the sides of your blades are coated in sticky residue or the residue is not coming off, encircle the blades with the cloth and apply pressure as you wipe down the blades.


Fill a bucket with hot water and add bleach. Place the brush into the bucket to soak. Take the brush out and rinse it.

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

Add 2 cups (470 mL) of bleach to the water. Follow the instructions on the back of the bottle. For a more eco-friendly method, you can add washing soda crystals to the water instead of bleach. Let the brush soak in the bleach for at least 1 hour. It could take up to 4 hours, so allow it extra time if needed. If you notice that the brush isn't clean after 1 hour, you could add more bleach or more crystals. Do not mix in more than an additional 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of either. Once clean, remove the brush from the bucket and rinse it under hot water. Replace your toilet brush in its holder. Your brush should be cleaned at least once each month. Don't forget to disinfect the sink or tub you use to rinse the brush when you're done.


Fill a bucket with hot water.

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

Add roughly 1 gallon (4 liters) of warm to hot water to a large bucket. The water does not need to be steaming hot, but it should be significantly more than merely lukewarm.


Fill a bucket with of hot water and baking soda. Wash your hair in the mixture. Refill the bucket with hot water and less baking soda. Scrub your body with the mixture. Rinse out your hair with 2 cups (470 ml) to 3 cups (710 ml) of water.

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

Add 3 cups (710 ml) of hot water to a metal bucket. Stir in about 3 tablespoons (44 ml) of baking soda. Try not to leave any grains in the bottom. Soak your hair in the water, and comb it all the way through. Dump out the water, and repeat the process. Leave your hair wet in a towel. Add about 3 cups (710 ml) of warm to hot water to a bucket. Add 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of baking soda to the water. Stir the mixture to combine. Scrub down your whole body, rinsing out the cloth often. You can use some soap on hairy areas, but only a little. Use water on the rag to rinse it off.  Using too much soap means you have to rinse it out, which is difficult to do with a sponge bath. However, medical supply stores also carry products that don't require much water to use, such as no-rinse liquid body soap. Put fresh water in the basin. Dunk your head in the basin, getting it completely wet. Use a comb to remove the dirt and baking soda. Dunk again if you need to, and then dry off per usual.


Fill a bucket with water and 2–5 tablespoons (30–74 mL) of soap. Dunk a clean rag into your bucket and wash your car. Rinse your car with your hose to remove any soap or bubbles.

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

To wash your car, it is helpful to prepare a soapy mixture. Washing your car removes any loose dirt, dust, or mud. You should always use car washing soap or conditioner so you do not damage your paint. Squeeze a bit of soap into a bucket, and use a hose to fill it with water. If you are removing scratches, washing your car lifts up any excess dirt. This makes it easier to see all your scratches clearly. Submerge your rag so it is saturated in your soapy mix, and rub it over all of your car, starting at the top. Move your hand in a circular motion to lift up dirt and debris. Cover your car in soapy bubbles so it is completely clean!  As you wipe your car down, dip the rag back into your bucket to use fresh soap mixture. If your water gets black and murky, replace it with a fresh batch of soap and water. Hold your hose about 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) away from your car, and let the water spray over the surfaces of your vehicle. Wash off the entirety of your car, so there is no remaining soap residue. You can park your car in a sunny spot so it dries quickly, if you'd like.


Fill a caramel-lined pot with steaming hot water. Set the pot down in the sink or on the counter. Dump the water out of the pot. Fill the pot with warm water. Place the pot on the stove and heat it using medium to medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and dump the water.

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

You only need enough water to cover the caramel. This is best done immediately after you finish using the pot, before the caramel has had a chance to fully solidify. Cover it, and allow the inside to soak for an hour. If, upon inspection, you still notice a considerable amount of caramel stuck to the pot, try using hotter water. Again, you only need enough to cover the caramel. The water should simmer but not quite boil. Allow the water to simmer for at least ten minutes. Scrub away any remaining caramel with a dish sponge.


Fill a container with two cups of hot water. Put on rubber or latex gloves and remove the felt ink tube from a yellow highlighter. Place the ink tube in the glass of hot water and allow it to sit. Turn on a blacklight and light up your bottles.

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

For the best effect, choose a clear glass, bowl, or bottle. You can vary the amount of water, but that will effect how strong your water glows. More water will dilute the glow, and less water may make it shine more intensely. Pry off the bottom of the highlighter; you may want to use a knife or a pair of needle-nose pliers to get it open. Once the highlighter is open you can remove the felt ink tube from inside.  The gloves will protect your hands from getting stained with ink. Not all highlighters work. Even if you test them under a blacklight and the ink appears to glow when you write, they may not work once diluted in the water. Your best bet is to use a standard yellow highlighter. It will only take a few minutes for the ink to begin mixing with the water. If allowed to soak for several hours, the water should glow very bright.  Use gloved hands to twist and squeeze ink out of the tube when you are finished. When the ink tube is whitish, it means most or all of the ink is now in the water. The water will only glow in the presence of a UV light. Blacklights and blacklight bulbs can be found at party stores, lighting stores, or online.


Fill a cooler, bucket, or sink with ice. Add water to the ice. Add rock or granulated salt to your ice and water mixture. Put your beer into the ice, salt, and water mixture. Jiggle the beer every couple of minutes to cool it faster.

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

How much ice you use will depend on the size of your cooler, bucket, or sink. Try to make sure you have enough ice to bury the bottles or cans underneath it. If you have a lot of beer you may need to use more than one cooler or bucket or chill the beer in shifts. Make sure that you add enough water that the mixture is soupy. As a liquid, water can cover a can or bottle at more points than ice can, which will allow it to cool faster.  However, water will also warm at a faster speed, so make sure you add more ice as it melts. This will require you to dump some of the water out each time you add ice. Since you'll need to dump water periodically, it's best to cool your beer in a cooler that has a drain at the bottom or in a sink that can easily be drained. Salt will help cool your beer faster because it allows water to drop to a temperature below freezing without becoming a solid. This means that you get the benefit of the cold temperature of the ice while still having the surface exposure of the water. You should try to have 1 cup of salt for every 3 lbs of ice. Ice will melt faster because of the salt, so be sure to replenish the ice frequently. Since the water is “super cool” be careful of touching it too much with your hands. Instead, try gently dropping the beer into your cooler, sink, or bucket. You should also make sure that each can or bottle has enough space to be moved around. Moving the beer around will help ensure that all the liquid inside gets equal exposure to the surrounding ice, which will, in turn, help it cool faster. You should make sure you move the bottles or cans every couple of minutes.  It's okay to skip this step. It may take the beer a few extra minutes to chill, but you won't have to worry about checking on it. Once you’ve added the beer it should cool in 2-5 minutes.


Fill a cup with water. Microwave the dish with the glass of water. Perform a touch test. Label the dish.

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

To test if a dish is microwave safe, you can put it in the microwave with a cup of water. Find a glass or cup that is microwave safe, and fill it three-quarters of the way with water.  It’s important to use a cup that you know to be safe for the microwave, otherwise the test may not work. To be certain, find a cup that has the microwave safe stamp on the bottom. Place both the glass of water and the dish in question side by side in the microwave. Microwave the two items together on high power for one minute.  If the dish is too large to sit side by side with the cup, place the cup on top of (or inside) the dish. To increase the power on your microwave to high, look for a button that says Power, Menu, or Settings. After a minute in the microwave, use oven mitts or a potholder to remove the cup of water. Then, place your hand on the dish in question to feel how warm it is:  The dish is unsafe for the microwave if the dish is warm and the water is cold. A warm dish means it absorbs heat. The dish is safe for the microwave if the dish is cool and the water is warm. A cool dish means it doesn’t absorb heat. Note that the dish may feel warm in the center if you had the cup of water in or on the dish. In order to keep track of which dishes are microwave safe and which aren't, use a permanent marker to label the bottom of the dish with the results of your test.  You can use any labeling method you like for your dishes. For instance, you can mark microwave-safe dishes with a happy face, the letter M, or two wavy lines. Don’t forget to label dishes that aren't safe for the microwave as well. You can use an unhappy face, an M with a line through it, or some other indication.


Fill a deep saucepan with 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of poaching liquid. Heat the poaching liquid to a low boil. Add the hake fillets to the pan in a single layer. Stew the fillets for 10 minutes. Drain and serve the hake.

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

Run 7 ounces of water (about 200 ml) into the saucepan, then top it off with a splash of broth or stock. Make sure you use enough liquid to completely cover the fillets. Add your choice of aromatics, such as lemon slices, whole peppercorns, bay leaves, and allspice.  For a tangier poaching liquid, you can also use white wine in place of the broth or stock. Traditionally, a mixture of diced onion, carrots, and celery known as “mirepoix” is also incorporated into the poaching liquid. These ingredients can be useful for infusing your hake with a subtle savory flavor. Place the saucepan on the cooktop over medium-high heat until it just begins to bubble. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes. This will give the various flavors a chance to mingle.  For best results, your poaching liquid should reach a temperature between 160–180 °F (71–82 °C) before you add the hake.  Be careful not to let the liquid come to a full boil. High heat can cause the tender fish to disintegrate. Lower the fillets carefully to prevent splashing. They should lie flat against the cooking surface and be completely submerged. If you haven’t used quite enough liquid, pour in additional water, wine, broth or stock until the fillets are covered. If you run out of room in the pan, it may be necessary to cook the fish in batches. The hot poaching liquid will quickly cook the hake through without drying it out. Keep an eye on the fillets in the meantime. When the meat turns opaque and takes on a plump, juicy appearance, they’re ready to come out.  Avoid stirring the fillets as they’re poaching. Handling them too much could cause them to fall apart. Poaching is one of the fastest ways to prepare lighter types of fish like hake. Remove the fillets from the saucepan using a slotted spoon to strain the excess liquid. Place the fillets on a layer of folded paper towels to soak up any remaining moisture, then transfer them to individual plates for serving. Poached hake goes particularly well with bright, mild vegetables like tomatoes, mushrooms,...


Fill a flower pot with high quality soil and water it thoroughly. Sow the seeds ¼ inch (0.64 cm) beneath the soil. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. Place the tulsi near a warm, sunny window.

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

You should leave about an inch (2.54 cm) of space at the top of the pot. Add enough water to make the soil very moist, but don’t add too much water, because you don’t want the soil to be soggy. Even if you plan to plant your tulsi in an outdoor area, it's best to start growing it indoors before transferring to an outdoor bed. Because tulsi seeds are so small simply sprinkle the seeds on top of the soil, then gently press them down into the surface using your fingers or a small tamper. The seeds will begin to grow in about 1-2 weeks. Because the seeds are so delicate, try using a spray bottle to lightly mist the surface of the soil. If you are pouring water into the pot, do so slowly and carefully so you don’t disrupt the seeds. Covering the top of the flower pot with plastic wrap will help seal in moisture, but you will still need to check the soil and add more water if needed. Your plant requires 6-8 hours of sunlight a day and temperatures of at least 70 °F (21 °C). Set the pot in an area where it can receive plenty of indirect sunlight. Be careful not to leave the plant near open windows or doors if the temperature cools down overnight.


Fill a glass bowl or jar two-thirds full with grow stones. Set a paper towel or coffee filter on top of the rocks and spread your seeds. Pour water in the bowl or jar up to the layer of paper towel. Wait 10-12 days before letting your cat eat the grass.

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

Grow stones are used in many hydroponic systems and work well to provide nutrients to the water. Use a shallow glass bowl or jar and put the stones inside. Leave a third of the container’s space empty on top. You can buy grow stones online or from your local gardening store. The paper towel or coffee filter acts as a barrier between the grow stones and the seeds. After putting the filter in, evenly spread a thin layer of seeds on top of it. It’s okay for the seeds to overlap or be on top of each other. Make sure the paper towel or filter you used is unbleached or else it could damage your seeds. Slowly add the water to the container, so your seeds aren’t disturbed. Keep filling the container until the water touches the filter. The filter will absorb the water and keep your seeds moist so they can germinate. If you notice the water level ever drop below halfway, refill the container back up to the filter. After 2-3 days, your seeds will form sprouts, but the grass won’t fully form until about 10-12 days. Once the grass is about 4 in (10 cm) tall, your cat can chew on it.


Fill a glass container with acetone. Place a few pieces of scrap plastic into the acetone. Leave the plastic to dissolve overnight. Once the heavier plastic has dissolved entirely, it will separate from the acetone and sink to the bottom of the container. Brush the slurry into the damaged area. Give the plastic time to harden.

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

Set out a drinking glass, jar, or deep bowl with a large opening and pour in 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) of pure acetone. The container needs to be full enough to completely submerge multiple pieces of plastic. Choose a container that you don’t mind ruining in case you have trouble removing every last trace of plastic when your project is finished.  It’s critical that whatever container you use be made of a material like glass or ceramic. You want it to dissolve the plastic you’ll be using for, not the cup that’s holding it. Acetone is a hazardous liquid, it gives off powerful fumes, so be sure to work somewhere with good ventilation. Stir the pieces with a toothpick to help them settle. The should be totally immersed at the bottom of the container. If necessary, add another splash of acetone to cover the tops of pieces with irregular dimensions.  For a more natural looking repair job, try to find plastic in the same color as the item you're repairing. Avoid touching the acetone. It can cause mild irritation if it comes into contact with your skin. As it soaks in the acetone, it will slowly break down to form a thick, goopy slurry. The exact amount of time this takes will vary depending on the type of plastic you’re working with and how much you’re melting down. Play it safe and let it sit for at least 8-12 hours.  Cutting or breaking the plastic into smaller pieces may help speed things along. The more surface area it has, the faster the acetone will act on it.  The slurry should have a smooth, creamy consistency and be free of lumps or chunks before you attempt to use it to weld other pieces together. Do not dispose of the excess acetone in a sink or toilet bowl, it must be taken to a hazardous chemical disposal site. Put the excess acetone in a glass jar with a tightly sealing cap and dispose of it at an approved hazardous chemical disposal site. Drain the liquid into a glass jar so that only the plastic slurry remains. You’ll use this as a filler to make your repairs. It’s okay if there are traces amounts of...


Fill a glass or mason jar with 2 ounces cinnamon bark oil. Place all of the toothpicks you intend to soak into the jar. Seal the jar. Let the soak remain undisturbed overnight. Prepare a non-absorbing area to dry the toothpicks.

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

The oil needs to cover the bottom of the jar, and the jar should be one that you can seal with an airtight lid.  Make sure the jar is glass, not plastic. This will affect the soak. The jar should probably be 12 to 16 ounces in capacity. Cinnamon oil is usually available in a drugstore. You may need to ask for counter service to retrieve it. You want to do as many at the same time as you can, so 100 or more per setting is recommended.  Toothpicks come in many bundle-sizes, so you should be fine doing up to 500 in a setting if you are so inclined. If you are concerned about a mess, make sure the jar and area around is on a non-absorbing towel or surface you can clean later. The non-absorbing part is crucial for a later step. It is important that this be an airtight cover once the toothpicks are placed in the jar coated inside with the cinnamon oil. The lid will keep the oil fresh and allow it to travel up the wood of the toothpicks to complete the soak. The longer the toothpicks soak, the spicier or "hotter" they will become.   The longer the soak goes on, the more cinnamon flavor the toothpicks will absorb. Avoid soaking the toothpicks for a full day or they may become hot enough to burn the mouth of someone trying to enjoy them. Do this before the soak is complete.  Make sure this area is not exposed to direct sunlight. If there are towels or rags laid out for the toothpicks to rest upon, make sure they will not inadvertently absorb the cinnamon oil from the toothpicks. So, avoid napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, and the like. Try plastic wrap, cookie sheets, or similar instead.


Fill a glass with ice. Add the liquid ingredients. Serve. Optionally, add a Bacardi 151 floater.

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

Toss a handful of ice cubes in a Hurricane glass - the more ice, the colder the drink. If you don't have a Hurricane glass, any sort of cocktail glass will work. Old Fashioned glasses look particularly great. Add the liquid ingredients in sequence, pouring them over the ice. Gently mix the ingredients to combine. Alternatively, add the ice and and liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker, shake to combine, and pour into the glass. Again, there are countless variations on the ingredients in a Rum Runner - the recipes at the top of this article represent just a few possibilities. As a reminder, the recipes in this article are:  Original Fancy Basic Islamorada Holiday Isle Garnish with orange or lemon slice and serve with a straw. Like with the frozen version of the Rum Runner, it's not uncommon to add a Bacardi floater to the Rum Runner on the rocks. Do so in the same way - pour 1 oz (30 mL) of Bacardi 151 over the top of the completed drink. Note that because the "on the rocks" version of the Rum Runner is liquid, rather than slushy, the Bacardi 151 will mix with the cocktail itself somewhat. If you don't want this, try pouring the Bacardi into the straw - this ensures that the first thing you taste is the Bacardi by itself and ensures that the Bacardi doesn't mix with the rest of the drink.


Fill a glass with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge (optional).

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

Use a highball or rocks glass. Fill the glass to the brim with ice. Cubed ice generally works best, as it does not melt as fast, preventing the ice from diluting the flavor of the scotch. Cut a lime into quarters. Take one quarter and put it on the rim of your glass as a garnish. For extra flavor, you can also squeeze a small bit of juice from the lime into your scotch and soda.


Fill a large container with lukewarm water. Immerse the brim in the water for 30 to 60 seconds. Shape your palm leaf cowboy hat. Allow the hat to dry to set the shape.

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

Avoid temperature extremes when filling the container: hot water will likely burn your hands, while cold water will make the brim of your palm leaf hat harder to mold. The container should be larger enough to contain your entire submerged hat. Try using your bathtub or a large basin, if you have one in your kitchen. Let the immersed section of the hat soak until the fibers are softened. If your basin is large enough, you can immerse the whole palm leaf cowboy hat. This will allow you to shape large sections of the brim without pausing to re-soak in between. After the hat (or portion of the brim) has soaked, pull it out form the basin and shape the brim. Slowly fold the brim until it's bent in the shape you want. If you'd like to change the shape of the hat's crown, you can soak and shape that portion of the hat also. If you've had this palm leaf hat for months and it has started to lose its shape, you can use these steps to reshape the hat to the form you prefer. If you don't have time to hold the hat as it dries, set the hat on a hat stand or wig head while you are shaping it, and let it dry on the hat stand too. Repeat the reshaping and drying process as needed after you wear your palm leaf cowboy hat in the rain.
