Sift 3 cups of flour into a large bowl. Add a teaspoon of salt to the flour and whisk in. Crack 2 eggs and 1 yolk into the cone-shaped well. Use a fork to whisk up the eggs in the well, slowly incorporating the flour. Add a quarter cup of water and mix everything with the fork. Ditch the fork and knead the dough until it forms a soft, slightly sticky ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour. Lightly flour a large, open counter. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut noodles. Cook the noodles in boiling water or chicken broth until they float.

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

If you don't have a sifter, use a fork or small whisk to break up any clumps so that it is an even powder throughout. You can adjust this to taste, adding another pinch for a slightly saltier pasta, but don't add less. Salt, in small quantities, is a flavor enhancer, bringing out the richness of the eggs. Whisk to mix in evenly. Clear a small hole with your fingers in the middle of the flour to make a cone-shaped well. This will make it easy to mix the wet ingredients into the dough evenly. Then add your egg. Want a richer pasta? Add more egg yolk and less whole egg. This will develop a deeper yellow color and the richness some people crave with egg noodles. As you whisk, you'll notice the flour slowly adding in as the fork catches the edges of the well. Keep making bigger and bigger swipes to get more and more flour into the egg, then pause about halfway through. You want to mix until you have a shaggy, loose dough. Depending on your environment, you may need more water, adding more if it is dry and less if it is humid. Your goal is this loose, shaggy, Play-Doh-like dough. Take the dough and fold it on itself, then press firmly into the top with the heel of your hand to kneed it. Rotate the dough and repeat this 4-5 more times. You'll know the dough is ready when it comes to the texture of wet Play-DohTM. If you don't quite like the texture of the dough, you can adjust now:   Dough is too sticky: add a tablespoon more flour, sprinkled evenly, as you kneed.  Dough is too dry: add a touch of water, slowly, and kneed in. The dough should be a little wet. This allows the glutens to relax, leading to a more tender noodle This will make it easier for you to work, as well. Leave it in a cool, dry place. In a rush, this step is optional. Still, even 20 minutes will make the dough easier to work with. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of flour onto your rolling surface.  This will keep the noodle dough from sticking to your work surface. Try and keep the ball of dough at least vaguely rectangular, allowing you to cut out...


Sift the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter. Mix in the egg. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Form a disc. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour. Roll out the crust. Freeze the crust. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the crust in two steps, the first for 20 minutes by placing the pie plate in the oven and beginning to bake the crust. Remove the crust from the oven and take off the weights and aluminum foil; place it back in the oven to bake for another 10 minutes, until the crust is golden.

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

In a medium bowl, sift the flour, sugar, and salt until the ingredients are completely incorporated. Place the cubes of butter in the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dough until it resembles cornmeal, with a few pea-sized pieces of butter mixed in. Lightly beat the egg in a separate bowl. Pour it into the crust mixture and use a spoon to fold it in until it is just incorporated. Don't overmix, or the dough will turn out too dense. Use your hands to shape it into a ball. Place the ball on a sheet of plastic wrap, and fold the edges over it. Press down on the ball with the heels of your hands to flatten the dough into a disc.  Remove the dough from the refrigerator, take it out of the plastic wrap, and place it on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large circular shape that will fit over a 9-inch pie dish. Drape the crust over the dish and trim the edges. Use your fingers to crimp the dough over the edges of the dish to hold it in place.  If you'd like, use a fork to make decorative notches around the rim of the pie crust. Take care not to tear a hole in the pie crust. If you accidentally tear one, use a little extra dough to patch it up. Cover the crust with plastic wrap and place the pie plate in the freezer to firm up for at least 30 minutes. Cover the pie crust with aluminum foil. Use pie weights or dried beans to fill the crust - this prevents it from bubbling up when it bakes.  Remove it from the oven while you make the filling.


Sift the flour. Scoop the flour into your measuring cup. Level it off with a straightedge.

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

Pour a little more flour than you need for your recipe into a flour sifter and sift it thoroughly over a bowl. Sifting flour aerates it, resulting in lighter baked goods. This might sound like a great thing to do for every recipe, but you should only sift flour if the recipe calls for doing so. For certain cakes and pastries, a denser final product is actually preferred. If you don't have a flour sifter, you can sift flour just by stirring it. Pour it into a bowl and use a whisk to briskly stir it until it's light and fluffy. Use a spoon to measure the flour into a cup that’s the exact right size. Avoided using a larger measuring cup than you need, since it's harder to get an accurate measurement this way. Run the back of a knife or another straightedge across the rim of the measuring cup, letting the excess flour fall back into the container. You may now  use your perfectly measured flour in your recipe.

Sign off properly. Address the envelope. Mail the letter.

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

Quickly summarize your request (e.g. Thank you for considering the recognition request for such a deserving citizen.).  Then, if you are a citizen of the United Kingdom, you should end the letter with "I have the honour to remain, Madam, Your Majesty's most humble and obedient servant."  You could also replace the word servant with subject.  If you are not a citizen of the U.K., choose a respectful closing such as one of the following:   Yours Truly works perfectly because it’s commonly used when sending a letter to someone of stature.    Yours Sincerely is also an accepted closing line. Write your name and address in the upper left corner.  You may receive a reply letter directly from The Queen, or you may receive a letter from Her Majesty’s Lady-in-Waiting.  The destination address should be as follows:  Her Majesty The QueenBuckingham PalaceLondon SW1A 1AA Fold the letter into three equal sections.  For such an important letter, it may even be worthwhile to measure out the folds before bending the paper.  Use the envelope as a guide for the first third measurement.  Once the paper is folded, place it in an envelope and send it to The Queen.  Acquire proper postage.  Depending on your location, and the letter's weight, there may be a somewhat substantial cost to mail the letter to London. If you include something other than the letter, be careful to consider the list of various prohibitions on mail to Great Britain.


Sign off while things are still interesting. Give a compelling reason for signing off. Show that you had a great time talking to your crush.

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

It's important to sign off at the right time so you leave your special someone wanting more. You shouldn't leave too soon, but should say goodbye while things are still interesting. Here's how to do it: Wait for an interesting conversation to start wrapping up, and say you have to go. That way you can say one or two more things about the topic and then say goodbye. This will leave your crush wanting to talk to you more, and will help you avoid that long awkward pause that may happen after an hour of chatting when both of you are running out of things to say. If you want to play it cool, you shouldn't be too obvious about why you're leaving and make your crush think you are interesting and mysterious. Here's how to do it:  Casually say, "I'm going out now," so your crush wonders where you're going and who you're going with. Leave it ambiguous. This will also make it sound like you have lots of friends and an active social life. Even if you have no reason to go, don't say so. Don't say, "Well, I guess I better stop chatting so much," or "Gotta go water my plants." This will make it sound like you have nothing exciting going on in your life. You don't have to be obvious about it, but you can let your crush know that you had fun chatting and that you're looking forward to talking again. Here's what you should say:  "It's been fun talking to you" or "thanks for the advice about..." Let him know that the conversation was meaningful without overdoing it. "I'll talk to you soon." This will show that you are excited to talk to him again, but that you won't spend hours waiting around to see his screen name pop up again. Don't be creepy. Avoid saying things like, "That was the best conversation I've had in my entire life" or "What time will you be online again so we can chat more???"


Sign up for Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Take online surveys. Get paid for surfing the internet. Be realistic.

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

Mechanical Turk is an Amazon service where you complete simple Human Intelligent Tasks in exchange for a small fee. Some of the tasks ask you to look at a picture and describe it for $0.08. Others might ask you to complete a survey for $2. You can transfer money into your account when you have made $10.  To make money through Mechanical Turk, you have to do multiple tasks. In an hour, you might only make $6. However, if you are persistent and keep at it, the money may start to add up.  Try doing Mechanical Turk during your down time. When you have five free minutes, log on and complete a few. Don't bother with the extremely low paying tasks. They probably aren't worth your time. Research companies use online surveys to get consumer feedback. In the last few years, these surveys have become more legitimate and reliable. Most of them are connected to PayPal accounts and will dispense money into your account after completing surveys. This is not a way to get rich quick, but you might be able to earn $50 here and there for a few hours of your time.  Make sure you don't fall for scam surveys. These surveys will lure you into inputting your credit card information, or try to get you to buy their credit card or materials.  Sign up for multiple survey sites to maximize your survey opportunities. Some sites will only send out 1-2 surveys a month.  Try Pinecone Research, My Survey, iPoll, or Toluna to start. Some sites pay you for using their search engine. You accumulate points by clicking on ads, playing games, taking surveys, and simply browsing. Some of these sites pay you in gift cards instead of money, so if that is not what you are looking for, this might not be the site for you.  Try Swagbucks and Gift Hulk. Both sites offer search engines that allow you to accumulate points while surfing the internet, and also provide places for you to complete surveys and do other tasks. Be careful not to get addicted to these sites. You can waste away a lot of time completing surveys and clicking on the next ad. Use it for...

Classes vary depending on the gym you join, but some popular classes include yoga, water aerobics, dance, Zumba, cycling, Pilates, and mixed martial arts. The gym is a great place to find a workout buddy or just someone to say hi to. Having a friendly face will help you feel more at home. Introducing yourself to class instructors is a great way to make connections as well. Having that small connection can also help motivate you to keep coming to class and working out. If you’re not sure where something is or how to use a certain machine, don’t let that stop you. Ask a fellow gym member where the sauna or weight room is located. Ask a staff member to show you the proper form and correct way to use the machine. This will also help you avoid injuries and ensure that you’re getting the best workout possible.

Build a social media presence for yourself. Send your bio and a video of your performance to other club bookers. Submit your work to an agent to help you get more gigs.

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

Look for comedy clubs in your area and find out if they offer open mic nights. Sign up for a spot at the open mic night so you can perform your set in front of a crowd. Speak slowly during your performance so you don’t rush through your material. Take brief pauses after you finish a joke so people have time to laugh before you start your next bit. When you’re finished, thank the audience and say your name so people remember you better.  Record video and audio for each of your performances so you can look back at your sets to see how they went. You may also be able to upload clips from your set online to share with others. Keep telling jokes even if your set isn’t going as well as you like. Many times, audiences won’t laugh because they didn’t realize you said the punch line.  You can also try open mic nights at cafes or other locations, but they may have more restrictions on what type of content you can perform. While you’re at the comedy clubs performing your material, reach out to the employees and owner and chat with them. Ask them how they felt your set went and if more opportunities are coming up where you can perform. If you consistently bring in laughs and an audience, the club may let you have a guest spot or emcee bigger shows.  As you start performing more, your gigs and setlists will get longer. Make sure you keep writing and adding new jokes to your routine so you can continue to grow. You may be offered a few non-paying gigs when you first start out, but they will help you get in front of a crowd and gain experience as a comedian. Other performing comedians may know about gigs or different opportunities where you can perform your material. Reach out to the comedians to talk about their sets and what jokes you really enjoyed. Ask them how they felt about your set and what worked for them. See if you can exchange information with the comedians so you can stay in touch if a new gig comes up for either of you.  If you’re performing before a headliner or a comedian with more notoriety than you, ask...

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

You'll want to give yourself ample time to prepare for the test, so when signing up for your Mensa assessment, choose a date that meets your study needs. Comparable academic tests, like the GRE (Graduate Record Examination), generally takes well-studied students one month of study to adequately prepare, but can require as many as six months for those who are out of practice with the material or test taking. Practice tests are available in many countries, and these will inform you of the main areas the actual test will target. Take note of these areas so that you can direct your studies later more effectively. You can also get a general evaluation of how well you will do by taking the online Mensa evaluation at:  https://www.mensa.org/workout  NOTE: in many countries, practice testing is available both online and in print. This will, however, depend on your home country, and should be further investigated at the Mensa international homepage. You can improve your long term recall and hopefully your Mensa test score by taking short breaks between periods of intensive study. Try to spend about 20 minutes focused on the thing you are studying and then allow your mind to rest for 5 - 10 minutes. During your break you might:  Juggle Play Basketball Play Soccer The first portion of the test, the Wonderlic, will require you to answer 50 questions in 12 minutes or less. The second test, the Mensa Admission Test, has multiple sections totaling in over 100 questions. Knowing how long you have on each section and what to expect will prevent you from wasting precious seconds puzzling out directions or reading unnecessary information.

Sign your motion. Take your motion to the clerk's office. Have the other party served. Wait for a response. Prepare for your hearing.

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

Some jurisdictions may require you to sign your motion or other documents in front of a notary public. After you've signed and notarized your paperwork, make at least two copies of everything you plan to file with the court. You will need one copy for your own records and one for the other party in the case. The court will keep the originals. You must file your motion with the clerk of the court where the case was originally filed.  You will have a deadline by which you must file your motion, particularly if it is the first thing you've filed in the case. This deadline typically is about 20 calendar days from the day you are served with the complaint and summons.  You can find the deadline by looking at the summons you received, or by calling the clerk's office. Get this deadline as soon as possible after you are served and write it down so you can make sure you don't miss it. You will have to pay a fee to file your motion with the court. This fee varies among jurisdictions and based on whether the motion is the first thing you've filed in the case. The fee for your first filing may be several hundred dollars, while the fee for a later motion is less than a hundred.  If you don't think you can afford the filing fees, you can apply with the court to have the fees waived. You will have to disclose details about your income and assets, which the court will compare to a set minimum threshold. If your finances fall below that threshold, you typically will qualify to have the fees waived. Once you've filed your motion, the other party must have notice of the action you've asked the judge to take.  You may choose personal service, in which you get a sheriff's deputy or private process server to hand-deliver the motion to the other party. Typically, though, you also have the option to mail the motion using certified mail with returned receipt requested.  If you have the option of using certified mail, keep in mind that typically will be the easiest and most cost-effective way for you to complete service. The other...


Sign your painting right after you finish it. Sign your painting using the same medium you painted it with. Add the year you made the painting to your signature.

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

This will help your signature blend in with the rest of your painting. If you wait for your painting to dry before you sign it, your signature will stand out more and look like it was added later on. Also, collectors prefer paintings where the signature was added at the time the painting was finished because they are harder to forge. Using the same medium will help your signature blend in with the rest of your painting. Avoid using a different medium to sign your signature or it could clash with your painting and look out of place.  For example, if you used watercolor paints to make your painting, you should use watercolor paints to sign your signature. If you made your painting with oil paints, you wouldn’t want to paint your signature with acrylic paint. It will help you and future owners of your art keep track of when it was painted. Right after you sign your name, put the year you made the painting. If you don’t want the year on the front, paint it on the back so people can reference it. You can abbreviate the year if you want. For example, instead of signing “2017,” you could just put “17.”


Sign-in to your Google Account Management page. Setup an App-Specific Password. Go to the Accounts Settings screen. Authorize applications and Websites. Click on “Generate password”. Use the app-specific password.

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

Alternatively, you can go directly to the Authorized sites and apps page. You can do this to achieve further security, while allowing third-party applications to access your Google account.  For this to work, you will first have to go through a 2-step verification process. From the Accounts Settings screen, under Personal Settings, click on “Using 2-step verification”. Follow the prompts to complete setup.  Under “Personal Settings”, click on the link for “Authorizing applications and sites”. Under “Application-specific passwords”, enter the application for which you want to use a password. This will complete the process. You can type anything into the description box. But giving a description, which matches the application, will help you organize it better. Go to your desktop or mobile app and use the password you generated.


Signal early. Don't linger in the blind spots. Give yourself room to merge. Don’t slow down.

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

Passing a truck means you will have to go through a blind spot, however briefly. Show the driver you intend to pass as early as you can so they have enough time to see you and prepare for you to pass. Pass as promptly as possible and don’t linger in any of the truck's blind spots longer than necessary. This area is where you are in the most danger if a truck driver loses control, tries to change lanes, or gets into an accident. Avoid passing on a truck’s right side. This is a truck’s worst blind spot because it extends further back and makes it even more difficult for a truck driver to see you coming up beside them. You should be at least two car lengths ahead of the truck before merging back into the same lane. This ensures that you stay out of the truck's front blind spot and helps you avoid cutting the truck off. After merging back into your lane in front of a truck, maintain passing speed and only slow down when you have a safe distance between you and the truck.


Simmer a large stockpot full of water over medium heat. Sink your item of clothing completely into the dye. Let the clothes simmer in the dye bath. Hang the clothes out to air dry completely.

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

Fill a large stockpot three-quarters full with water. Make sure this is enough water to completely submerge your clothes. If not, you will have to work in batches. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Drop the clothing item into the dye bath until the entire garment is covered. Use a mixing spoon to press the fabric completely beneath the surface. Mix the garment around in the pot to make sure all the nooks and crannies get soaked by the dye. Once the dye bath reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for up to 1 hour. Keep the water at a low simmer.  Stir the garment periodically to ensure even dyeing. Do not cover the stockpot. Hang the clothes on a clothing line or drying rack until they are completely dry. Place an old towel or rag beneath the clothing to catch any dripping dye as the item dries. Do not dry in a drying machine.


Simmer the ingredients for 15-20 minutes.

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

Reduce the heat of the stovetop, and cover the pot with the lid. Let the ingredients simmer until the apples are tender and fully cooked through. Take the pot off the stovetop once the apples are ready.  Continue to stir the ingredients occasionally as they simmer. To check if the apples are cooked, remove a piece from the pot and check that it is soft enough to easily slice.


Simmer the oils and herbs in a double broiler for 30 minutes. Filter the herbs by pouring the mixture over a cheesecloth into a bowl. Combine the oil with beeswax and honey in the double boiler. Let the mixture cool and add essential oils and witch hazel.

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

In a double boiler (or a glass/metal jar in a pot of hot water) combine your base oils and dried herbs. Simmer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes have passed, place cheesecloth (or a coffee filter) into a bowl. Pour your oil and herb mixture over the cheesecloth to filter out the herbs. Return your infused oil to your double boiler (or glass/metal bowl). Now add the beeswax, and stir until melted. If you are using raw honey, add the honey at this time as well. These ingredients are optional, so it's okay to skip this step. Once the beeswax and honey are fully melted, remove from heat and allow your mixture to cool. When it has cooled down, add your essential oils and witch hazel and stir.


Simmer water in a medium saucepan. Break the eggs and lower them into the simmering water. Loosen and continue cooking. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve.

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

Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and set it to a simmer over medium heat. Do not allow the water to reach a full boil. Break each egg one at a time into a ladle or serving spoon and lower the spoon into the pan until it hits the bottom. Slide the egg off so that it sticks to the bottom of the pan. Allow it too cook there for a full 1 minute.  Add the eggs to the simmering water one at a time.     You can technically break the eggs directly into the water instead of lowering them in with a spoon or ladle, but breaking the eggs into the water may make it more difficult to control how the eggs turn out.    After cooking the eggs on the bottom of the pan for 1 minutes, gently scrape them up from the bottom of the pan using a heat-resistant spatula. Continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes. The yolk will still be fairly runny once done. Lift each poached egg from the water, draining away excess water through the slots in the spoon. Enjoy immediately.


Simplify any radical expressions that are perfect squares. Simplify any radical expressions that are perfect cubes.

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

A perfect square is the product of any number that is multiplied by itself, such as 81, which is the product of 9 x 9. To simplify a perfect square under a radical, simply remove the radical sign and write the number that is the square root of the perfect square.  For example, 121 is a perfect square because 11 x 11 is 121. Thus, you can simplify sqrt(121) to 11, removing the square root symbol. To make this process easier, you should memorize the first twelve perfect squares: 1 x 1 = 1, 2 x 2 = 4, 3 x 3 = 9, 4 x 4 = 16, 5 x 5 = 25, 6 x 6 = 36, 7 x 7 = 49, 8 x 8 = 64, 9 x 9 = 81, 10 x 10 = 100, 11 x 11 = 121, 12 x 12 = 144 A perfect cube is the product of any number that is multiplied by itself twice, such as 27, which is the product of 3 x 3 x 3. To simplify a radical expression when a perfect cube is under the cube root sign, simply remove the radical sign and write the number that is the cube root of the perfect cube. For example, 343 is a perfect cube because it is the product of 7 x 7 x 7. Therefore, the cube root of the perfect cube 343 is simply 7.


Simplify your definition of low-carb dieting. Learn to identify carb amounts in foods. Simplify what’s “in” and what’s “out. Don’t buy what you don’t need. Realize that you won’t be hungry all the time. Make water your friend. Stock your pantry right.

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

Start with the basics.  When present in the body, carbohydrates, converted into simple sugars (known as glucose in your bloodstream), are your main fuel source.  Low-carb dieting is based on the premise that, without sufficient carbs available as fuel, your body will burn its fat stores to keep you moving.  There’s no official definition for a low-carb diet, but the range limit is usually somewhere between 50-100g of carbs per day. This range will vary with each person's body weight. Anything below 50g per day would typically cause the individual to go into ketosis. In comparison, typical American dietary guidelines recommend between 225-325 grams of carbs (900-1300 calories) daily.  Medical opinions vary on the efficacy of low-carb diets as well.  They do seem to offer weight-loss benefits, at least in the short term, and may have benefits for diabetics by decreasing blood glucose levels.  Long-term health impacts are less clear.  Consult your physician before beginning a low-carb diet. Once on a low-carb diet, you'll likely be able to spot carb-heavy foods with ease before too long.  It may be helpful, however, to keep a guide handy, at least early on, that identifies carb amounts in various foods.  Such a guide can be especially useful when eating out. For example, each of the following has approximately 15 grams of carbs: 1 slice bread; ½ bagel 1 banana, orange, or apple; ¾ c. blueberries; 1 ¼ c. strawberries ½ c. apple or orange juice 1 c. milk (skim, full fat, or in between) ½ c. cooked beans, lentils, corn, or peas 1 small baked potato ½ packet of instant oatmeal 15 chips or pretzels; 1 cookie; ½ donut ⅓ c. mac & cheese; ½ breaded chicken sandwich ½ c. ice cream 1 ½ c. cooked or 3 c. raw of most non-starchy vegetables meats, fish, eggs, and many flavorings, dressings, and toppings have fewer than 5 carbs per serving ”  This is where it can start to get confusing.  Different low-carb diet plans will tell you different things about what you should and should not eat.  Some plans tell you to eat high-fat...


Simplify your email if possible. Give your email a thorough proofreading. Keep it professional. Send your email.

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

Remember, your recipients are busy and they want to get to the meat of the email quick. Take a step back and evaluate your email. Here are some things to consider:  Use short sentences, words, and paragraphs. This helps make the email quick and easy to read and understand. If it's possible to cut a word out, cut it out. Trim your sentences down to as short as possible. Professional emails require careful proofreading. Read your email aloud to yourself. This can help you catch a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. Ask yourself:  Is my email clear? Could my email be misunderstood? How would it sound if I were the recipient? You don't need to show your personality in your professional email. If you'd like, you can let it show subtly through your writing style, but stay away from emoticons, chat abbreviations (such as LOL), or colorful fonts and backgrounds.  The only time it is appropriate to use emoticons or chat abbreviations is when you're mirroring the email language of the person you're writing to. Write like you speak. This can help you keep your email short, friendly, and personable. Don't say anything in an email that you wouldn't say to your recipient in person. Once you have proofread you email and have included all the necessary information and added each recipient to the appropriate field, click the send button.


Simplify your makeup routine. Tie your hair back. Wash your pillowcases.

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

Wearing a lot of cosmetic products can add oil to your skin and block your pores. Consider how many products you use and try to cut back on them. If you don't use many to begin with, try reducing the amount of each product you do use. You may want to use cosmetics that are created for people with oily skin, especially if your makeup doesn't last all day. Always wash your makeup off every night before going to bed. Leaving makeup on can block your pores. If your face, neck, or upper back is oily and your hair is long, you should tie it back. Grease in your hair is produced by your scalp just like your skin produces oil. Keep greasy hair from rubbing against your skin and transferring oil. Your skin may also be sensitive to the shampoo you're using. You might want to switch shampoos for a while to see if your skin clears up. Remember to toss your pillowcases in the wash at least once a week. Your skin produces oil while you sleep which lingers on your pillowcase. This can buildup throughout the week and cause your skin to become oily, even if you went to bed with a completely clean face. You should also wash your bed sheets once a week, especially if the skin on your back is oily.


Simplify your name. Anglicize your name. Use your mother's maiden name. Use your middle name. Use only a single name.

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

In many cases, stage names are just simplified versions of a given name. If your full name is particularly long or hard to pronounce, simplifying it might help you out. Some real life examples of this include:  Yves Saint Laurent (born Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent)  Rudolph Valentino (born Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Pierre Filibert Guglielmi di Valentina D'Antonguolla) While controversial, some may choose to modify their name to cater to a Western audience. Similar to simplifying, this often involves editing an ethnic or difficult to pronounce name into something short and easy to remember. Some examples include:  Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara)  Kal Penn (born Kalpen Suresh Modi) Use your mother's maiden name as your first or last name. This applies when your mother's maiden name is catchier or easier to pronounce or remember than your given surname. As with most of these methods, the best way to test a name's catchiness is to ask people you know what their reaction to it is. Some examples include:  Katy Perry (born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson) chose to use her mother's maiden name when she switched from gospel to pop music. Catherine Deneuve (born Catherine Fabienne Dorléac) chose to use her mother’s maiden name to differentiate herself from her then-more famous sister Françoise. Take your middle name and make it your first or last name. Times when this might be applicable are when your last name is harder to pronounce, or much to common, like "Smith." One famous example of this is Angelina Jolie (born Angelina Jolie Voight). If your first, middle or last name sounds unique you may choose to go by this alone. Choose the name that has the best middle ground between pronounceable, memorable, and catchy. Some examples of this include:  Beyoncé (born Beyonce Giselle Knowles)  Madonna (born Madonna Louise Ciccone)  Rihanna (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty)  Zendaya (born Zendaya Maree Stormer Coleman)


Simplify your writing when possible. Keep diction in mind during revisions. Think about your audience during revisions. Choose the most specific word possible.

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

Don’t make your writing overly complicated.  Keep it simple, because your reader does not want to look up every other word. Use big words like a potent spice; spread them sparingly throughout your writing. They will make your writing better, while still keeping the writing enjoyable for the reader. Cut out most adverbs. Most of the time, they aren’t needed, so use them sparingly throughout your writing. Look for other unnecessary words, such as “like,” “so,” and “then.” Cut out what’s not needed. Cut out repetition and don’t use the same word over and over. Your reader will get tired of reading words such as “like” over and over again, so change up your word choice to keep your diction natural. Don’t just think about diction while you’re writing, consider it while you’re revising.  Look at each word and consider how it fits into the whole. Is it really the best word for the sentence? For the story? If you have a wide, general audience, consider keeping words that will appeal to a variety of people.  For instance, avoid slang, since slang tends to be generation-specific. For a wide audience, keep it simpler, but don’t be afraid to add in a few bigger words in places. However, if you are writing for a particular age group, feel free to add in some slang terms, as long as you are sure you know how to use them right. During revisions, make your word choice more precise by finding the words that most specifically express your meaning.  For instance, don’t just say the streetlight was “strange.” Say it was “eerie.” “Eerie” has a much spookier effect than “strange.” Similarly, if you are writing a sentence about rainbows, choosing words related to color makes sense, because it plays on the theme: “The rainbow stretched across the watery blue sky like a handful of violets and roses arched over a vase of water.” By choosing flowers that have color names instead of just saying “wildflowers,” you’re reinforcing the subject of the sentence. In another example, if you are writing about a fight, you want to choose visceral...


Simplify. Build trust. Build self confidence. Foster passion. Build skills to correct levels.

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

Adults should learn literacy in many of the same ways as a child would. These are basic building blocks and should not be skipped, just because they are simplistic. Streamline the learning process by giving your students the most basic skills so that they will be prepared for the more complex ones. Because there is such a social stigma attached to adult illiteracy, you will absolutely have to develop trust with your students. Do not judge them, do not make them feel stupid, do not criticize them for mistakes and be patient with them at all times. Most of all, show them that you make mistakes too. Show them when you don’t know things. Let them see you look a word up in a dictionary, to find its spelling or meaning. Let them see you ask for help when you need it, such as if you are unsure of the grammar of a sentence. Modeling behavior in this way will show your students that not knowing something is not a sign of stupidity or weakness of character. Build their self confidence. Illiterate adults are often ashamed of themselves for not knowing how to read or write. Building their confidence will encourage them to take risks without fear of mistake or rejection. Doing that is essential to the learning process. When your students do well, tell them so. When your student makes a mistake, emphasize any way in which they were right or acting logically before showing them how to do it correctly. People who love something will always put more work into it and do it better at it than those who are doing something they don’t like. Give your students a reason to love what they are doing. Men might enjoy being able to read sports stories or game descriptions, where women might enjoy reading about beauty tips or how to make their own clothes and accessories. Slowly move them from the basic skills to the higher levels, as outlined in the teen section. With time they will reach a skill level appropriate with their age. This will significantly improve their work prospects as well as their confidence.


Since Alison always looks flawless, you do too, right? To begin the makeup routine, start with either BB Cream or foundation, whichever you prefer.

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

Exactly. Treat skin nicely by washing with gentle face wash morning and night. At night use spot treatment creams to deal with acne. Then moisturize with a sensitive skin moisturizer. Then, set with powder that matches your skin tone. In a circular motion, rub blush on the apples of your cheeks and rub bronzer on your forehead; for the sun-kissed effect. Use concealer in trouble areas like acne and red spots. For the eyes: Use a liquid black or brown eyeliner. Only line top lid with eyeliner. Then apply two coats of mascara to your top row of lashes. If you want, dust an eyeshadow nearly the same color as your skin all over your lids. Swipe on lipstick. Alison's signature lip color is NARS Jungle Red, but if sometimes you want something more gentle try a shimmery pink lip gloss. (Like Burt Bees's Summer Twilight lip gloss).


Sing a song that is higher than your typical vocal range by beginning the tune in a lower octave. Sing using your stomach, not your throat. Breathe with your diaphragm, while standing a straight as possible. Remember to switch to your falsetto voice as you sing notes at the top of your range.

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

By starting the song in a lower key, you will be better able to reach the higher notes. Learn the song first, including the words and melody. Then sing the same melody but beginning at a note toward your lower vocal range. It may take some practice to remain in the new key. Singing high notes from your throat will only strain to your vocal cords. Use your stomach to push air through your throat as you sing the high notes. This will give them more power without straining you. As you inhale, your stomach should rise first followed by your chest. This is called "support" of the voice. As notes get higher, the sound waves they create get shorter and closer together, requiring less power to generate them. Focus the most vocal power on the low notes and decrease it as you sing higher.


Sing an upbeat and energetic song that acts as an emotional catharsis. Engage in meditation that includes thoughts of love and compassion. Do something that makes you laugh out loud. Modify the tone of your voice when you talk with people.

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

Singing is a great way to release pent-up emotions and help you feel more relaxed, positively affecting your entire parasympathetic nervous system. Singing loudly also exercises your vocal cords and throat muscles, which in turn stimulate the vagus nerve.  Singing also leads your body to release oxytocin, which produces feelings of joy and well-being. If you’re unable to sing loudly, humming softly and even gargling water can also work your throat muscles and thus stimulate your vagus nerve. According to one study, generating positive emotions in yourself through loving-kindness meditation and enhancing your sense of social connection can lead to heightened activity in the vagus nerve. Note that your meditation needs to include compassionate thoughts of others in order to reap this benefit.  In other words, the act of meditation alone will not necessarily stimulate your vagus nerve; having thoughts of love and compassion for others is what’s most important. To practice loving-kindness meditation, start by sitting in a comfortable pose and focusing on your breathing to clear your mind. Then, begin to mentally repeat 1 or more mantras that reflect compassion for yourself and for others, such as “May I be happy” and “May my coworkers be healthy and strong.” Laughing is arguably the easiest and most enjoyable way to stimulate your vagus nerve. Watch a TV show, movie, or stand-up comic to receive a variety of health benefits just from laughing.  Some of the other health benefits accrued by laughing include increasing circulation to different parts of the body, lowering your blood pressure, and releasing chemicals in your body that are beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Try watching a funny show or movie with other people; people tend to laugh more easily when enjoying something funny with others! Speaking in a calm, even tone may help you to soothe yourself. When you hear a soothing voice, such as the voice of a loved one or trusted friend, your body releases oxytocin. On the other hand, not hearing soothing...


Sing from your chest. Aim to make your voice sound clear and resonant. Learn to hone your “resonators". Sing songs within your range or comfort zone. Hire a voice teacher for personalized, guided advice.

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

Most beginning singers feel themselves singing through their throat, and they can feel the pressure in their head and neck as they sing. While this may feel natural, it is the wrong way to sing if you want to sing beautifully. Focus instead on your chest so that you feel it vibrating as you sing. You should feel pressure in your chest as if your voice is coming from your pectoral muscles.  This is easiest if you are correctly breathing through your abdomen. Think of singing from your diaphragm (the muscle under your lungs that controls breathing) if you are having trouble singing from your chest. Typically, beautiful singing is both “clear” and “resonant.” Everyone has a different definition of beautiful, but there is some common ground between all the best singers. Think about the singers you admire and the type of music you want to sing, as you develop your beautiful voice.  "Clear:" The listener should be able to hear the words and notes without strain. "Resonant:" Resonance is the deep, almost subconscious vibrations that all beautiful singers access. Think of the long, powerful, and sustained notes of singers from Aretha Franklin to Luciano Pavarotti. At the core of beautiful singing is the ability to create resonance, which is when your notes take on a rich, full sound. Listen to any opera singer to hear resonance at its best. Your voice echoes in your chest, mouth, and throat to gain depth. When you are singing with resonance, you feel a slight buzzing or vibrating feeling.  To develop resonance, think about your voice's “placement.” Where do you feel the sound coming from? How does it move as you open your lips or move your tongue? Everyone is different, but there are some tips to keep in mind:  Start by humming a simple “ee” sound. “Move” this noise up and down from your chest to your mouth. These are your resonators. Move your tongue down towards your bottom teeth, opening up your mouth and making the biggest space you can.  Never “swallow” your vowels, or sing from the back of your throat. When you...


Sing more quietly. Reduce physical effort by staying still when you sing. Stay hydrated. Change the notes. Keep it short. Rest, hydrate, and steam afterwards.

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

Once you are at your performance, there are several things you can do to protect your voice. The first is to sing more quietly than you might normally.  Singing more quietly may help preserve your voice for the the duration of the performance, and avoid strain. If you are singing with a microphone, ask to turn up the PA system so your voice will be more amplified. This will make you easier to hear and hopefully reduce the temptation to strain your voice to achieve your normal volume. Depending on the type of singing you're doing, the performance can be a very physical process. Try to reduce physical effort to conserve energy. If you are a rock singer, for example, you may be accustomed to jumping around, dancing, and so on, as part of your performance. Try to keep these activities to a minimum and focus on making it through the performance. Right before and during your performance, drink lots of water. Drink a tall glass before you perform, and take a bottle or two on stage with you. This can help keep your energy levels up and your vocal cords lubricated. It's a good idea to go in to the performance with a "plan b" for some of the notes you would normally sing. High notes in particular may simply be outside your range right now. Think about whether you could sing those notes an octave lower, or sing a different note in the same key that won't sound too far off the mark. You just won't be able to cover the same range you normally would, so it's better to have an alternative in mind than to strain for notes you can't reach. If possible, keep the performance short. If you have control over this, reduce the number of songs you'll be singing, dropping out the particularly difficult ones.  Planning to do an encore? Consider just doing one more song, instead of the two or three you had planned. In an audition or chorale performance, you may not have much control over this, but if you do, make the most of it. After the performance is over, drink water, use your humidifier, and get plenty of rest. Your vocal cords...


Sing or tell stories while your toddler's in the tub. Engage in imaginary play. Play with scoops, spoons, and sieves. Have your toddler pick out their clothes or pajamas.

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

If your toddler likes to sing or enjoys listening to you, sing songs while you wash your toddler or shampoo their hair. Remember that you can involve your toddler in the songs.  If your child has a favorite song, sing it if your toddler begins to get upset in the tub. For example, sing a song like "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," and direct your toddler to touch those parts while you sing. Encourage your toddler to pretend play with you. They might want to be a mermaid, pirate, or fish. Splash around and imagine that the tub is the ocean. If you have bubbles in the bath tub, make bubble castles, beards, or hats. Let your toddler get you wet or covered in bubbles! For example, pretend like you're playing salon and let your child spread bubbles on your hair. Treat bath time like play time and give your child tools to interact with the water. Toddlers will enjoy pouring water, dipping the cups into the water, and watching the water pass through the sieve. Consider adding bath drops that change the color of the water. When it's time to get your child out of the tub, ask them to choose what clothes they'd like to wear once they've dried off. Remember that your toddler can try to dry themselves with the towel too. If your child tolerated or even enjoyed the bath, give them lots of verbal praise. For example, say, "You were so great when I washed your hair! Thanks!"


Sing right into the middle of the microphone. Sing with your lips almost touching the microphone. Soften your "P" or "B" sounds. Adjust your singing to fit the song.

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

Singing directly into the center of the microphone will pick up the best range of sound in your voice. You should still project your voice to the back of the room, but don't be afraid to sing into the microphone. Practice using the microphone and ask a friend or vocal coach to tell you how loud you are. Try singing directly into the microphone and compare it to singing into the side of the microphone. Ask for feedback about your volume. You'll need to be very close to the microphone for it to pick up your voice. You lips should almost touch the microphone if you're singing softly and if you sing loudly, your lips should be a few centimeters from the mic. If you stand too far back from the microphone, the mic probably won't be able to pick up your voice. If you're singing close to the microphone, some words can make a loud popping noise. Move your mouth slightly to the side of the microphone when singing words that start with "P" or "B." After the word, direct your face back to the center of the microphone. You only need to move a little to the side of the  microphone. Don't worry if you still get occasional pops while singing. This is to be expected with using a microphone. Plan on how you'll use your microphone for each song. Sing through the song, moving closer during slower or quieter parts and back away from the microphone during parts of the song that require you to speed up, sing louder, or sing at a higher pitch. Use the microphone to your advantage. It can easily amplify your voice during softer parts of a song and you can back away a few inches when you need your sound to really pop.


Sing the song with memory aids. Sing along with the recording. Sing without the recording.

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

When you first start trying to sing the song from memory, you may have trouble coming up with all of the words. Try to work your way through using aids that can help jog your memory, such as flashcards. They'll allow you to recall the words on your own, but provide support if you get stuck.  Create flashcards that feature the first few words of each section of the song, such as the first verse, the chorus, and the bridge. Run through the cards, coming up with the rest of the lyrics for each section until you can sing the entire song without them. If you want to challenge yourself to come up with all of the words on your own, try drawing pictures on the flashcards that depict specific sections of the song to help you remember the lyrics. Acting out the song as you sing it can be another helpful memory aid. Make an effort to link specific lyrics to certain hand gestures or even dance moves that will help remember the words without having to look at your lyric sheet. When you feel like you have a good grasp of the lyrics, it's time to start practice singing along with your recording. You'll have the original vocalist to help you along in case you have trouble remembering any parts, so you can build confidence with the song.  You should begin practicing along with the recording a day or so after you first start learning the song. You can have the lyrics or flashcards in front of you for quick glances, but try not to rely on them to remember the words. A day after you first practice singing along with the recording, do it again, but this time, don't have the lyrics on hand. Instead, use your memory to come up with the words. Once you can sing along with the recording without making any mistakes, it's time to take away that safety net, and practice singing by yourself. In the beginning, it helps to have musical accompaniment to provide cues to help you along. However, you should eventually get to the point where you can sing the entire song without the recording or a back-up instruments because not every band that...

Sit and talk to your loved one as much as possible. Talk to your loved one about death. Tell your loved one that you will miss them, and say, "I love you" often. Tell your loved one if/when you're scared, confused, or sad. Take your direction from the loved one. Gather family members in the room and talk about old times together. Make sure you say everything that you want to say.

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

If you have regrets, or need to let him/her know something that you've kept in for years, use this time to let them know. Consider the effect what you have to say may have on your loved one and, if it is something you think will upset them more than it will matter to you to tell them, then it might be best to keep it under your hat. You don't want to stress him/her out more than they already are. They may want to know about what you, or your children's plans for the future are and telling them this could provide comfort. Although this may seem insensitive, you could if he or she is scared. You may be at peace once they're gone, knowing that they weren't scared to go. And if your loved one is scared, help him or her come to terms with their fears. If there's something they really want to do, and they're able- then get out there and do it! Live for today, so that you can remember it tomorrow. Say it like you mean it and remember how they respond. Nothing is more important than those three words and it's something you can hang onto in the future. They may just tell you some things that ease your mind, and will help with this process a little. Some may want to talk about death, funeral plans, etc., while others do not. Don't presume that you know what they want or need - ask. This is no time to play guessing games! If a loved one pretends he or she isn't dying, and everything is going to be okay, realize that this is a defense mechanism and is misplaced hope. While it is important to be receptive to the loved one's approach to death, do not let this fantasy cause tension and problems for you and other family members. This may be the one time where it is important to not play along but to make it clear in as kind and caring a way as possible, that the loved one has a terminal illness which impacts other people too. Things are not going to be all right and much time can be wasted pretending otherwise, when sharing memories, dealing with the loved one's wishes and spending quality time together should be occurring...
