29,701 | Summarize the following:
If the other party is riled up and looking for violence, words might not do any good, but it's usually a good idea to try. Physical fights can very likely end people in the ER, so avoiding them at all costs is advisable. Try to determine why the other person is angry, and see if you can talk them down. Some people may be motivated not by anger but by something else, like a mugger whose motivation is money. Trying to talk them out of the attack would be a bad idea that could cause even more trouble. In such a situation, giving up your money without defending yourself is the wisest choice to avoid harm. Physical fights very often start as a verbal fight, an argument. If you sense that a confrontation you're in might escalate to physical violence, try to quell the argument. First, lower your voice and end the shouting match. Say things like "I don't want to fight," and "I understand why you're upset" to make it very clear that you're not interested in escalating the conflict. Once the other person has calmed down some, start talking it over by conceding the points of the argument that they are right about, and what, if anything, you did wrong. While it may seem easier to fight, you should always run away rather than fight. It might wound your pride to run away from a fight, but a wounded pride is better than a wounded body, especially when a wounded body can have serious long-term repercussions. If you tried talking it out, and that didn't work, try getting away. Don't turn your back and run, as this leaves you vulnerable. Just slowly back away, while watching for any sudden moves. If your assailant is a mugger, give him your money. Chances are he has a knife or some other kind of weapon, and the money in your wallet is not more valuable than your life. Most fights with no good reason behind them start because of a combination of intoxication and miscommunication. Don't let your ego get in way of apologizing, even for something you didn't do. And keep your voice low and calm when you try to reason with the other party. This will avoid an escalation of shouting that leads to fists being thrown.
Summary: | Try talking it out first. Let go of your ego and escape. Lower your voice and apologize. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

Being lonely is a feeling that transcends your outward environment and current social activities. While someone can be surrounded by people in a crowd and still feel lonely, someone else might be all alone and not feel lonely at all. Loneliness is a feeling of disconnectedness you have inside. Being alone is when no one is around you. You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. Think about your likes, dislikes, and where you feel comfortable. You might feel lonely in certain crowds, but you might feel deep connections with people at small gatherings. The only way to move forward is to find out exactly what situations you are uncomfortable in. Consider the special circumstances of your unease and loneliness. Do you like small gatherings of friends? How do you feel in bars, clubs, or other social events where you’re out in a public establishment? Do you feel okay in large gatherings if you know everyone? There might be hurtful experiences in your past that contribute to why you feel so lonely. One of the first places you should start is by examining yourself to figure out if this is true. If so, you’ll have a better idea of why you feel this way and you’ll be able to move forward. Maybe you were abused or neglected by the people who were supposed to take care of you. Maybe you were bullied or left out by your classmates. Maybe you are feeling inadequate because of physical or mental disabilities, your gender, race or social background. Find a mental health professional to talk about your feelings. A psychiatrist, counselor, social worker, or psychologist can help you examine your past and determine what might be causing your loneliness and discomfort. This might be one of the last things you want to do, but if loneliness is crippling you emotionally and detracting from your quality of life, you should consider seeking help. Through therapy, you can acquire new tools, skills, and outlets to help you feel better. Counseling can also provide you with some much needed support. Don’t let the urge to conform to other people’s expectations make you into a different person. Focus on your inner-self rather than on outer stimuli and influences. Be proud of the person you are, and more people will want to connect with you. Tell yourself that your own opinions are important. Constantly reinforce your own uniqueness and personality. Don’t fear being different just so others approve of you.
Summary: | Recognize that being lonely and being alone are two different things. Try to better understand your loneliness. Examine your past. Seek help from a professional. Be true to yourself. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

29,704 | What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
It will be easier to take down individual opponents if you’re rushing them with a partner. Similarly, it will be harder to sneak up on you if you’ve got a teammate watching your back. Before the game starts, split your team up into smaller pairs. When occupying a position, have one player cover one direction and another player cover the opposite side to stay safe while playing. You can split up into teams of 3-4 if you prefer. It will be harder to move around without making a lot of noise or getting noticed at that point though. When a teammate is moving across the map, they’re going to be an open target for the enemy team. Help keep them safe by firing repeatedly at the enemy—even if you think you’re going to miss. This will make the opponent less likely to take risks, and they’re going to be less accurate while they’re aiming at your friend. Ask your teammates to lay down covering fire for you when you’re moving! If the enemy is held up in a safe location on the map, it may be hard to just sneak your way in there and take them down. Instead, carry out a coordinated attack by spreading your team out and attacking quickly from multiple sides. Be willing to give up a few players to shake the enemy loose from their spot and take the position for yourself. Be careful when using this strategy. If it goes poorly, you’ll end up giving up a lot of points. When your team is holding a position down, identify a nearby escape route that you can take in case you get rushed. Try to avoid taking up positions that are corners or tight areas where you won’t be able to escape if you get sieged or rushed. In general, positions with multiple exits are better spots to hold down anyway, since your team will be able to cover multiple paths and take down the individual players that walk by.
Summary: | Work in pairs to make you harder to pick off. Cover for your teammates by laying down covering fire. Blitz a position as a team to take occupied ground. Keep a nearby exit open in case you get rushed. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

Draw a horizontal line of glue above and below the tissue hole. Press a popsicle stick down onto each line of glue. Let the glue dry. The popsicle sticks will lift the rubber bands up a little and make the guitar sound better. Consider painting or decorating the sticks once the glue dries. You can also use crayons, pencils, or even straws to make the bridge. If you move ahead to the next steps too soon, your guitar will far apart. You want to end up with two rubber bands on the left side of the tube, and two rubber bands on the right side of the tube. Position the rubber bands so that they are right over the tissue hole.

Wear casual clothes during the day. Dress in clothes you’re comfortable in. Wear comfortable shoes you won’t mind walking around in. Don’t wear your bathing suit outside of the pool area.
Article: | Don’t worry about dressing up for breakfast or lunch. Most people relax and lounge by the pool during the day on cruises, so break out your casual clothes for daytime activities. You should still make an effort to look presentable during the day. You wouldn't want to wear your pajamas to walk around the cruise ship. Wear jeans and a lightweight t-shirt or throw on a sundress. If you’re going on a cruise somewhere warm, shorts paired with a blouse or t-shirt is an easy go-to casual outfit. If you’re going somewhere cold, a heavy sweater with jeans or khakis works. You’ll have a better time walking around the deck and relaxing if you’re dressed in something comfortable. You may not be able to wear shorts into the dining room for dinner, so factor in time to change if you decide to wear them. Go with a pair of sneakers or sandals during the day, or a pair of flip-flops if you’ll be swimming at the pool. Avoid shoes that might hurt your feet, like high heels and dress shoes. Wear a shirt and shorts or a dress over your bathing suit to get from your room to the pool area. When you leave the pool area, cover up again.

Glue the six 8 feet (2.4 m) wood pieces together. Secure the beams together while the glue dries. Sand the wood. Mount steel galvanized angle holders to the beam."
Article: | To build the balance beam you will need six 8 foot (2.44 m) pieces of 1-by-6 pine beams, four 12-inch (61 cm) pieces of 2-by-4 wood planks and four 24-inch (30.5 cm) pieces of 2-by-4 wood planks. You will also need to purchase everything listed below in "Things You'll Need". These items can all be found at your local hardware supplier or stores such as Home Depot and Lowes. Use soap, water and a washcloth, sponge or coarse brush to scrub the wood pieces thoroughly. This is very important as dirt and grime can prevent the wood glue from working as effectively. Let the wood sit for a while until it is completely dry before adding the glue. Place the pine beams vertically next to one another as that is how they will need to be administered. Glue the largest sides (the flat sides with the most surface area) of the wooden beams together with an industrial-strength wood glue (preferably waterproof). Use a very generous amount of glue in this process as that is what keeps the wood beams together. Make sure they dry before the next step! When finished the fronts and backs of the beams should be completely flush, creating 1 large beam measuring 8-feet (2.44 m) long and around 4.5-inches (10.2 cm) wide. The 4.5-inch (10.2 cm) surface will be the top of your homemade beam. The best solution for securing the beams together is to use wood clamps. If you don't have clamps, lay the beams flat on their widest part and apply a heavy weight to help fuse the boards. Allow the beams to dry for at least 24 hours. When the glue has dried, remove the clamps or the weights, and sand the entire surface of the beam. Use a sanding plane or sand belt to ensure the surface is uniform and even. Screw the angle holders (the angle holders will come with screws) to the underside ends of your balance beam approximately 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the end of each side. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,710 | It's hard to beat addiction on your own, and a therapist can be a consistent source of accountability and support. Working with a therapist can include discussing emotional triggers, finding coping strategies, preventing relapse, and digging deeper to understand the emotional causes of addiction. Staying consistent with therapy is important, especially for addressing relapse prevention. Addiction can coexist or contribute to psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Together with therapy, prescription medications may treat concurrent psychiatric disorders that contribute to addiction. A medical evaluation can help pinpoint how cigarettes and alcohol have affected your body. Work with a medical professional to help improve your bodily health. They can also offer prescription medication to lower nicotine dependence. Both alcohol and nicotine can seriously harm your body. Be honest with your medical doctor and request tests to assess the health of your liver, heart, kidneys, and lungs. If you fear you cannot quit on your own, consider a recovery facility. An intensive treatment facility can help you address the physical and emotional challenges of addiction and quitting in a supervised and supportive setting. A program can help you decide how to detox and will monitor your physical and emotional state as you come down from alcohol and nicotine. Treatment programs include intense medical and psychological supervision. Treatment often includes intense individual and group therapy that targets mental health conditions. Medication may be prescribed to treat and monitor psychiatric disorders while in treatment.

You can continue dating your girlfriend, even when you are in a relationship. Regularly go one dates with her to the movies, park, or dinner. A date doesn’t have to cost anything to be enjoyed. It’s the thought that matters. You can also plan a special date for her. It can be just because or for an occasion. Keep in mind her interests and things you enjoy doing together when planning a date. Going on a hike to someplace beautiful is a great way to spend time together without spending too much money. Cook her dinner and plan to watch her favorite movie. The effort will mean more than taking her out to a fancy restaurant. You do not have to constantly give her gifts, but it is thoughtful to give her a surprise gift or a gift for a special occasion. You can make her a gift, like a painting or scrapbook with photos and memories of your relationship. It is also an option to make the gift something that you can do together, like attending a ballet or sports game she has dreamed of going to. Keep in mind things that she points or mentions that she would like to have. Write them down to remember them. A great gift can be something like writing a poem or song to her. The small, mundane things are important too because they occur far more often than special occasions. If she is having a busy day, help her clean her room, kitchen, or bathroom. Offer to clean or do laundry for her, or make it something you can do together. Run a simple errand for her, like picking up milk if she ran out of it. You can also make a day of running errands together. Spend a free day during the weekend catching up on each other’s errands, like getting groceries, paying bills, and shopping. Exploring new places and parts of life is a great bonding experience that will strengthen your relationship. It can be something neither of you have done, or something only one of you haven’t experienced before. You can get ideas for what to do by listening to her talk about things she would like to experience, or you can do something that is meaningful to you or her. Take a road trip to a place neither of you have visited before. Taking trips together is a good way of getting to know your girlfriend or boyfriend better, even if you have been together for a while. Maybe seeing The Nutcracker is a cherished part of her childhood, but you have never been. That is something you can do together. If going to see a baseball team is something you love but she has never gone to a game, invite her to go with you. Show up to events that she takes part in. It might be a work event, wedding, game, or show. Supporting her in whatever she does will show how much you care for her. You can also invite her to events in her life. Letting her know that you want her there for support is a good way of showing that she is a part of your life. Ask her before attending a game or show she is performing in if she is shy. Surprise her by showing up if you think it will make her happy. Accept her invitation if possible if she invites you to an event. If you can’t go, tell her that you wish you could and express your disappointment. Send her flowers or a note the day of the event to show encouragement from afar.

Endangered animals can seem like a far-away problem, but there are likely threatened species, from birds to bears to bugs, in your own neighborhood. Invasive plants that overrun native vegetation and invasive animals without existing predators can combine to devastate native animal populations. Note the difference between invasive and non-native species; invasive refers specifically to species that thrive and overtake native species. Many non-native plants and animals are just fine. In fact most of our animal and plant foods are not native. When planting, choose plants and flowers that are native to the area. Native vegetation is more likely to attract native birds, butterflies and other insects, and other animals that may be endangered. Remove invasive weeds and non-native plantings in favor of local varieties. Build bird feeders suited to native species. Eliminate the use of chemical pesticides in your yard or garden in favor of natural deterrents. Give your local threatened or endangered species a fighting chance to thrive without dealing with unnecessary toxins. Water runoff can spread pesticide chemicals far from your home as well, so you will be benefiting a larger habitat than you might think. "Integrated pest management" is an option that relies on "natural" ways to combat pests and unwanted plants. If, for example, you have an aphid problem, try attracting lady bugs that feed on aphids. The feeling among people who practice permaculture (and others as well)is that if you have an abundance of snails or slugs in your garden, the problem isn't the abundance of snails and slugs, it's the lack of ducks who would eat the snails and slugs and keep them in check. Also, start composting to create natural, ultra-locally sourced fertilizer instead of relying on chemical-laced, long-distance hauled store brands. Many people dream of having the huge backyard with the pristine green lawn, but the growing encroachment of humans into wildlife habitats is a major cause of species endangerment. Consider turning your yard into an edible landscape. In drought-stricken areas like California, focusing on using native and/or drought adapted plants can help animal species survive. When it is time to move to a new home, think carefully about the amount of space you really need. Also consider the benefits of a smaller space (less mowing, for one!) as well as living in an area of existing development rather than a newly-carved suburban enclave. If moving is not on your to-do list, consider whether it is possible for you to reduce your footprint on your own property. Would you be able to permit part of your land to return to a more natural state -- for instance, by replacing lawn space with native plantings that you allow to grow freely?

After all the paint has dried to the touch, move the piece onto a drying rack. This will allow air to circulate around and under the piece and help it dry more quickly and evenly. Removing the piece from the position in which it was painted is also important to ensure it doesn’t stick to the drop cloth or work bench. Once applied, paint generally has two phases that it goes through, and those are drying and curing. The paint may be dry within 30 minutes, but it still needs time to cure. Once the paint fully cures, it will be set, hard, and less prone to damage or dents. Depending on the type of paint you used, curing time could take anywhere from three to 30 days. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for specific curing times. Giving the paint time to fully cure is especially important for fixtures, handles, utensils, and other brass pieces that will be handled often. The best way to keep your painted brass clean and new is to avoid touching it or banging it against other objects. For certain items, like wall fixtures, it will be easy to avoid contact. However, for things like furniture and door knobs, you can protect the brass and the paint by keeping it clean: Wash the surface with a damp cloth and soapy water. Rinse the area with a clean, damp cloth. Towel dry the surface to remove excess water. Apply a fresh coat of paint as necessary to cover nicks and scratches.

Dreams can sometimes be very close to real life. Therefore, it can be difficult to realize you are dreaming. Develop ways to recognize a dream from reality. Time is one way to differentiate a dream from reality. Time is notoriously inconsistent in dreams. For example, a clock may say it's 8 AM and then moments later claim it's 2 PM. If you're unsure whether or not you're dreaming, try looking at a clock. Reading in dreams is often difficult. Many people cannot read in dreams. People who can read in dreams often report the text is gibberish, word salad, or hieroglyphics. Trying to read a book or magazine can help you recognize that you are dreaming. As many people want to influence dreams as a way to come to terms with a problem, it's important that you remember your dreams. Do not jump out of bed, as removing yourself from REM sleep can cause you to forget your dreams. Try to stay in bed for a while and remember your dreams. Start out by trying to recall the emotions that accompanied your dreams. This can help trigger your remembering other details. A dream journal is another way to help remember your dreams. Record your dreams in as much detail as possible after you get out of bed. Having a dream journal can help you revisit your dreams later to interpret their possible meaning.

29,716 | Article: People tend to look left to right when they're searching for something. For this reason, it's best to choose a spot that's either above or below eye-level. This will help you choose a less obvious hiding spot and also help make your movements less noticeable. When you enter an area, pay attention to where your eyes fall naturally and pick out a place away from that zone. As soon as you decide on a hiding spot, crouch, stoop, or sit down and draw your arms and legs in. If you're tucked away in a narrow space, stand up straight and put your arms down at your sides. The less room you take up, the harder you'll be to see. It's still a good idea to get nice and compact even if your hiding spot offers complete concealment. If you're lurking behind a couch, for example, you're less likely to be spotted if you're curled up in a ball as opposed to stretched out. Once you get situated and you've shrunk down as much as possible, freeze yourself in place. Imagine that you're a statue or a piece of furniture. Do your best not to move until you know your pursuer is a safe distance away. Resist the urge to scratch an itch or adjust your hair or clothing, no matter how uncomfortable you are. The human eye detects movement before anything else, especially when it's dark. All it takes is one wrong move to accidentally signal where you are. While you're in hiding, avoid making any unnecessary noise. Try not to cough, sneeze, clear your throat, or do anything else that might get you caught. Even rustling your clothes too loudly could give away your position. Stifle your breathing by opening your mouth and taking deep, slow breaths. This is far less audible than panting nervously or breathing through your nose. If you and another person are hiding in the same spot, don't talk. Not only will the sound carry, you may also be too distracted to notice if someone is approaching. You won't always be able to sneak into a closet or stow yourself under a table. When you're caught in an open space with no large items to hide behind, lie down, reach for whatever's around, and pull it on top of you. Your cover will keep you out of sight until you can find a better spot. You might bury yourself under a pile of blankets or dirty laundry if you're hiding in your bedroom, or dive into a pile of leaves if you're hiding outside. Found objects can provide temporary cover, but they're not recommended for a long-term hiding. No matter how good your hiding spot is, there's a chance someone may stumble across it sooner or later. If you suspect it's only a matter of time until the game is up at your current spot, wait for an opening and make a run for it or move to another secret location. Moving can create quite a commotion, so wait until your pursuer is far enough away not to hear you light out. Rather than rushing to your next hiding spot, slow down and move as fluidly as you can. It may sound counterintuitive, but you'll make less noise that way and prevent yourself from tripping or accidentally bumping into something.
What is a summary? | Stay out of your pursuer's line of sight. Make yourself as small as you can. Be still. Stay quiet. Camouflage yourself with nearby objects.

29,717 | Article: MorningStar is one the most respected investment-research firms. Their website contains information and news about mutual funds and other types of investments. You can access some of the information available through Morningstar for free just by visiting the site. Some of their data, however, is accessible only by paid membership. The company does offer a free basic membership allowing access to most of the basic information you need. Another well-respected source of information about mutual funds and their performances is Zacks.com. This research firm provides a lot of useful information free of charge. Using the sites above, you can begin narrowing down the field of mutual funds. Start by looking at the objectives of the various funds, and try to pick one that aligns with your own objectives and risk profile. Each fund will have a specific objective. You can find it in the prospectus and in MorningStar reports. The objective indicates what the fund is attempting to do and how it attempts to do it. These objectives will normally fit within the four fund dimensions discussed in Part 1 above. Once you've selected some funds that interest you, take time to see how well they have performed. Look at their historical performances, compare them to those of other similar funds and benchmarks, and collect any other information you can. There are several online sources that can provide this information. Some even allow for side-by-side comparisons of different mutual funds. This information is available in the fund's prospectus and various online sources of financial information. This date is important to know. A longer history is more telling than a shorter history. Having more investing experience is better than having less. A longer period of time allows a more valid comparison with other funds. It's smart to check how long the present fund manager has been in control of this fund (or other funds). It would also be valuable to know if the manager has invested his/her own money in the fund. Morningstar and Lipper are two online sources of such information. AUM is a measure of the total market value of a fund's investments. You want the fund to hold a portfolio large enough that it demonstrates investor confidence and can handle sudden, large redemptions. However, there's such a thing as a fund being too large. Having too much money under management can make a fund unwieldy and inflexible. This is hard to quantify, but with experience you'll begin to develop a sense about it. (Some funds will actually close themselves to additional cash inflow to prevent this unwieldiness.) This is less important than the other considerations discussed above. Think of a large portfolio as a good indication of a fund's success at picking profitable, long-held investments. Each fund will have specific requirements about the minimum investment necessary to open an account. They will also have a minimum for additional purchases. Find a fund you can afford that fits your investor profile. The initial investment and additional investments might be as little as $100. Some ETFs will permit an initial investment as low as the price of a single share. You will find this information on the website of the fund company as well as in the prospectus for the fund. A prospectus is a long, detailed document. It has all the legal definitions about what the fund can invest in, how it is managed and other technical information. You can have the company send you a hard copy of the prospectus or download it from the website. A prospectus can be overwhelming. The federal government mandates that the most important information be easily found and clearly explained. You can find this material at the beginning of the prospectus. It is often highlighted or italicized. This section is called the summary prospectus. The summary prospectus will describe the fund's investment objectives and strategies. It will also cover the principal risks of investing in the fund and the fund's fees and expenses. Finally, the summary prospectus will discuss the fund's past performance. You can find more detailed information in the full "statutory" prospectus that follows the summary prospectus. This will include information relating to the fund's investment advisors and portfolio managers. It will also provide details on how to purchase and redeem shares. Most of the relevant information will be available from other sources, too, such as Morningstar. It's a good idea, however, to read the actual prospectus for any mutual fund you are seriously considering. For more information on mutual fund prospectuses, visit the SEC website at SEC.gov. That site is an excellent source of general investment information.

Let your own hair be a guide. Clean your hair using shampoo. Apply conditioner.
Article: | Depending on your hair's natural oiliness, curliness, and other factors, you'll need to tweak the basic "poofing" process slightly to make sure it works right for you. While the essential process should be the same, pay attention to the way your own hair behaves and tweak the process accordingly. If you have very thin hair, you'll probably need to use a considerable amount of hairspray or other product to get your hair to stay up. If your hair is a lot thicker, you should use less product and tease your hair more. If you have oily hair, most people will need to wash more frequently 4-5 times per week, to make it more poofy. Some people, however, tend to get a little more body the less frequently hair is washed. You want your hair to be nice and clean when you attempt to poof it up. Massage a pea-sized amount of shampoo into your scalp and hair follicles, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Get to know your own body and wash your hair as frequently as it needs it. In general, you want to wash slightly less. 3-4 times per week should be enough for most people. Avoid washing in excessively hot water, which can dry your hair out and leave it stringy. Hair conditioner is used to leave your hair feeling smooth, and it can also help to give your hair some body, without tangling it up. If you want to emphasize your hair's natural body, use hair conditioner every time you wash it. Rinse out conditioner thoroughly, running water through a couple of times to make sure it's all gone. If you don't, excess conditioner can make your hair feel greasy and lank after you wash it. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,719 | Write an article based on this "Scan for moisture inside walls with a moisture meter. Find the cold, leaky part of a wall with an infrared camera. Cut into your drywall to find the source of a leak."
Article: | A moisture meter is a piece of equipment which, when placed directly against a wall, will analyze the moisture content of that wall. If you know that you have a leak within a certain wall, but are unaware of the precise location, place the moisture meter at 5 or 6 different spots on the wall. Whichever spot gives the highest moisture reading is closest to the leak. You can purchase or rent a moisture meter at a large hardware store or home-improvement store. These gadgets are frequently used by professional home-inspectors to find leaks or wet walls. Infrared cameras detect heat, and can indicate the temperature of a wall. A leaky, wet wall will have a cooler temperature than the surrounding wall. Train an infrared camera on a wall with a leak, and look to see which section of the wall is the coldest. This will be the section of the wall nearest the leak. When using an infrared camera, hot objects will have red or orange coloring, while cool objects will have blue or purple coloring. You may be able to rent an infrared camera from a professional contractor, a home-improvement center, or from a photography shop. Use a utility knife to score a line about 10 inches (25 cm) long into your drywall at the location where you see visible signs of a water leak (mold, discolored drywall, etc.). Then, using a drywall saw, cut along the line you just scored. Cut a hole in the wall large enough for your head to fit inside. Stick your head in the wall and look around until you spot the source of your leak. Enlarge the hole so that you can also insert a flashlight to see better inside the wall, if needed. Often, the patch of wall which shows signs of a leak is not directly in front of the leaky pipe or fixture. Water can drain along the outside of pipes in your walls or trickle many feet down the inside of your walls before the telltale signs of a leak become visible. Both a utility knife and a drywall saw can be purchased at your local hardware store. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,720 | Devote a certain number of minutes each day to homework assignments, to studying, to chores, and to extracurriculars. Writing down how you’ll spend your time at the start of each week will help you adjust to unanticipated circumstances without impacting all of your other responsibilities. When planning your weekly activities, start with your homework, studying and household chores. Plan extracurricular and recreational activities around your core responsibilities. When you are approaching test time, increase your study time enough to do well on your tests. Restrict the time spent in front of the television or browsing on your smartphone to no more than two hours per night to leave room for your homework, studying, and extracurricular activities. Television and social media can be very entertaining – and very distracting, so keep it to a minimum. It may be helpful to designate specific times to watch television or surf the web in your planner. Visualizing this limited block of time may help keep you focused. This way, you have more time to hang out with friends and participate in extracurricular activities on the weekend. You’ll also enjoy yourself way more if you don’t have assignments hanging over your head. Your high school years shouldn’t just be about your schoolwork. If you’re stressing about schoolwork, you’re not enjoying yourself. So get your work out of the way early, then go have fun! Unless Dad says so, there’s no hard and fast rule that your math homework has to be done between 4:00pm and 4:30pm. Ask your friends when they have free time and schedule your free time to coincide with theirs. Make sure you leave enough time to study though! Your friends are probably going through a similar scheduling process. Lock in some time for you all to hang out so you don’t miss out! Join 1 to 3 extracurricular activities that will help you achieve your short-term and long-term goals and that you find most enjoyable. Don’t join every single club or team that catches your interest, or you’ll have little time to do other things. Keep your goals in mind when choosing between possible extracurricular activities. High school can be very stressful at times, but keeping your goals in mind can help keep you motivated. Doing so can also help you see what you should be spending your time on – and what things you should stop doing. Add a block of time in your planner to veg out in front of the TV, take a long bath, or engage in other calming activities. While extracurriculars can be enjoyable, they also usually involve hard work. Everyone needs some downtime to relax and recharge. Neglecting that time may lead to boredom, frustration, and anxiety – all of which may make it harder to focus on your work. Try drawing, coloring, or journaling to relax. Meditation is another time-tested technique that can help relieve you of stress.
Summary: | Get a daily planner and use it to schedule your time each week. Limit your screen time. Finish as much schoolwork as you can during the weekdays. Coordinate your schedule with your friends’ schedules. Avoid joining too many extracurricular activities. Schedule time to unwind. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,721 | Summarize the following:
A power fade is when you purposely drive the ball and the ball curves from left-to-right from the tee. The ideal time to use it is when there is trouble on the left of a hole, forcing you to turn to the right. A power fade may be easier than hitting a straight drive. A shot may have the same movement because the clubface was accidently left wide open upon impact or when you slice the ball, accidentally cutting across its face. You may also use the power fade when your tee shot already has a left-to-right curve but, during the curve, the ball loses momentum. You may also use the power fade for a consistent shot off the tee. Place the ball on the right of the tee box. Give yourself more room for your drive to move to the left before curving towards center. Place the tee one ball width ahead of your normal stance. Align your stance to a location between the troubled section on the left and the center of the fairway.This alignment is going to be the line your shot will follow before it moves towards center. Your body, feet, hips and shoulders should be in the direction where you want the ball to start off, which is towards the left of the green. Your club should be aimed toward the pi, which is where you want the ball to end. Keep your tee low. Line the equator of your ball with the sweet spot of your club. Keeping the tee height low encourages your swing to stay level through impact and discourage a pull hook. Placing the tee slightly ahead of your stance and lower than normal forces you to hold your release which keeps the face open. You do not want the club face closing over on impact. Use the last three fingers to create a strong grip on the left side. This grip ensures your swing stays open as the swing goes through passed impact.

Many electricians use electrical tape to make a final wrap or two around each switch to cover the screw terminals prior to installing the switches into their boxes. This is intended to reduce the risk of accidentally shorting things to the terminals. Double-check that all connections are proper before carefully packing the wiring and switches back into each switch box. Screw the switches into their boxes, being careful not to nick or pinch any wires. Turn the light/device on and off with one switch, then off and on with the next, then off and on with the last. If changing any switch (up or down) does not turn the light/device on or off, regardless of the settings of the others, turn off the breaker and re-check your wiring. There are 8 possible combinations, when using three switches (on and off). They should all function properly.

The syllabus for a class is like a contract between you and your professor or teacher. It outlines your professor or teacher’s expectations. Read through the syllabus when you receive it and ask questions if anything is unclear. If anything is unclear, ask your professor or teacher for clarification. This is especially important if your question pertains to an assignment. If your professor or teacher uses an electronic syllabus, they may update it at any time. Even though they may announce any changes, be sure to check the syllabus often for updates. Note any important dates or information you want to easily access later. It is normal to miss class once or twice during a semester, but missing too many classes is a sure way to fail English. Be sure to attend class and arrive on time. This will help to ensure that you do not miss out on the lessons. Be aware that some professors will mark you absent if you arrive late. Make sure you arrive on time to avoid losing points for tardiness. If you must miss a class, make sure to email your professor or teacher as soon as possible. Review the syllabus beforehand and check your professor or teacher’s makeup policy. Make sure that you follow the protocol outlined in the syllabus. You might feel like your professor or teacher knows who you are since they called your name in roll call. However, professors and teachers have many students and it will take a while to get to know everyone’s name. Introduce yourself so the professor or teacher has an easier time of remembering who you are. Try saying something like, “Hello, Mrs. Jones! My name is Jon Smith. I just wanted to say hi and tell you I am looking forward to your class.” Introducing yourself to your professor is a good time to ask questions. Ask them your questions about the class, required texts, and assignments. Visit your teacher or professor during office hours early in the semester to develop a working relationship with them. Start off the semester by getting organized. You will have lots of due dates to keep track of, so get yourself a day planner or use an app on your phone. Record important due dates for your English class with the app or planner. For example, if you have a paper due on February 15th, add an entry to your planner or app, such as “Paper #1 due today.” You will be very busy trying to complete your coursework, so it is best to start on your assignments ahead of time. Start when your English professor or teacher provides guidelines! For example, if your professor or teacher gives you the assignment sheet for the final paper a month in advance, don’t wait. Start on the final paper right away. You can brainstorm, do research, take notes, create an outline, and meet with your professor during office hours.
Summary: | Read the syllabus at the beginning of the semester. Attend every class. Introduce yourself to your professor or teacher on the first day of class. Track important due dates in a planner.

29,724 | What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
You will need to send your letter of recommendation to the admissions office at a college. If you're a student, you often have to provide your teacher with an addressed envelope when requesting a letter of recommendation, so make sure you know the proper address. If you are a student, the address should be specified somewhere in the application instructions. You can also find the address of a college's admissions office online. However, you should call the office to double check this is the proper place to send application materials. If you are a teacher, your student should be able to provide you with this information. If your student cannot provide the information, you can also check online and call the admissions office. In the middle of the envelope, you should print the address of the administration office. Make sure to print clearly so the letter is delivered to the proper place. If you have sloppy handwriting, consider making a trip to a print shop to type and print out addressed envelopes. The first line of the address should say something like, "Office of Admissions" or "Admissions Office." The second line should include which university the letter is being sent to, like "Michigan Technological University." The third line should include the address of the admissions office. For example, "123 Maddison Street." The last line should include the city, state, and zip code. For example, "Houghton, Michigan 49931." You can also use your own computer or a typewriter to print address labels for an envelope. This may be a good idea if you have sloppy handwriting. The return address is the address of the person writing the letter. If you're providing your teacher with an addressed envelope, you may need to ask for his or her personal address. However, it's usually safe to simply use your school's address. If you're filling out an application for a student, simply put your home address. The first line should just be your name, or the name of your teacher. For example, "Elizabeth Hart." The second line should include your address, or your teacher's address. For example, "262 Paulina Street." The last line should include the city, state, and zip code. For example, "Chicago, Illinois 60657." In order to assure the letter smoothly gets to the right place, include details on what the recommendation is for in the lower lefthand corner. Admissions offices get letters regarding things like scholarships in addition to applications for admission, so there may be multiple branches of an admissions office. In the lower left hand corner, write "Re" followed by a colon. From there, include some specific information about what the letter is regarding. You can write something like, "Letter of Reference for Jane Meyers, fall admission." If you're applying to something like early admission, it may be a good idea to include that information as well. All letters require proper postage if you want them to be mailed. You can buy stamps at a post office, as well as many grocery stores and drug stores. Place a stamp in the upper righthand corner of your letter. If an envelope contains materials beside a letter, you may need two stamps. If you're unsure of postage, go to a post office and ask. You want to make sure your letter is mailed successfully.

Adjust the ball so that one surface is on top with the horseshoe-shaped stitching around it. Place your middle and index fingers over the ball. These fingers should cross over stitching twice. Pull your thumb back behind the ball and place your ring finger beside it. This grip makes your throws stronger and more accurate, which are essential qualities of good shortstops. Practice by throwing the ball up in the air. Catch it and quickly rotate the ball so the stitching is near the top. Finish by applying the four-seam grip. Start with your body sideways. Point the shoulder on the mitt side of your body towards the target. Move the foot on your throwing side back, firmly planting it behind you. You’ll need to use this stance to generate power and accuracy. Practice the mechanics until they feel comfortable. As you plant your throwing foot behind you, draw back your arm. Hold the ball so it faces the ground instead of your target. When your arm travels back as far as it can go, you can fire the ball at the target. Balance is essential to a hard, accurate throw. Don’t rush. Bring your arm forward. As you do so, the face of the ball will turn inward until it faces the target. Your arm functions like a whip. Use your fingers and wrist to generate power. Remember that you’re throwing the ball with your entire body. Follow through by bringing your throwing arm forward after you’ve released the ball. The middle of the body is a big target. Balls thrown to this area are easier to handle. Don’t try to land the ball in the person’s glove. Instead, pretend that you’re throwing the ball past them, since you’ll need to throw harder and faster. Practice this by picking a spot on a wall and trying to hit it. To hit a moving target, you’ll need to anticipate where the glove will be. Aim the throw so that it’s a little ahead of the target. To get out quick runners, you’ll have to change your style sometimes. For a slow-rolling ball, you can try plucking the ball with your bare hand. Spread out your fingers so you have the best chance of getting the ball and adjusting your grip. This throw is often inaccurate, so you’ll need to judge whether or not you can get the ball to the target before the runner. Keep your throwing hand near your glove. Plant your front foot when the ball hits your glove. Move the ball into your throwing hand. You may have to use a side-arm throw to get the ball away sooner. Plant your throwing foot as the ball leaves your hand. This kind of throw is useful for balls on the edge of your range. Catch the ball in your glove. Spin away from your target. When your eyes find the target again, throw the ball as you normally would. This throw is tough to get right, so practice finding first base after spinning.
Summary: | Hold the ball in a four-seam grip. Align your body with the target of your throw. Draw your throwing hand back. Throw the ball overhand. Aim the ball at the target’s chest or mitt. Barehand slow-moving balls. Use both hands on close plays. Spin and throw when you can’t stop running. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,726 | Article: Raising baby chickens is a rewarding experience, but it is not something you should jump into too quickly. Before you raise baby chickens, think long and hard about why you want to keep chickens and whether you have the time, money and space to provide for them. In terms of expense, keeping chickens is relatively cheap compared to other animals. However, chicken feed is a necessary and ongoing expense, and vets' bills can add up if one or more of your chickens falls ill. You may also need to invest in a brooder and/or a coop if you are raising chickens for the first time. Chickens are not terribly time-consuming, but you will need to feed and water them daily, keep their coop clean (which involves shoveling manure) and collect their eggs once or twice daily. If you are planning on going away for more than a couple of days, you will need to seek out a chicken-sitter, which can be tricky. If you let eggs accumulate in the nest boxes, the hens may become broody, which is where they will peck or cluck at you if you attempt to collect the eggs. To discourage this, look into a broody box. Before purchasing birds or planning for a coop, it is important to check local regulations and homeowner association rules. Many municipalities ban roosters (due to the noise they make) or place a limit on the number of hens a household can keep. Some communities also require permits, signed agreements from neighbors, or an appearance before the zoning board, while others have ordinances that restrict the size and placement of outbuildings. Chickens are very sociable creatures, so you should plan on keeping at least three to six birds for company. Having an extra one or two is also not a bad idea should any of your chickens fall victim to predators or disease. In addition, hens typically lay 5-6 eggs a week, so four birds will provide you with almost two dozen eggs per week. The more chickens, the more eggs! The breed of chickens you choose to raise should be based on qualities such as temperament, egg-laying ability, size and color of the eggs, climate suitability, aesthetic value, and meat quality, depending on your preferences. For dependable egg production, choose "layer" breeds, such as Black Australorps, that were bred to lay reliably. Leghorns, also, produce about 325 eggs a year. Dual-purpose breeds (which provide eggs and meat), such as Buff Orpingtons and Laced Wyandottes, and Plymouth rocks, are bigger than layers but have better egg production than "broilers" (Cornish Cross) or (White Rock Cross), which are breeds used primarily for meat. Research your breeds on Google. For starters, I would lean towards Americaunas, Orpingtons, Silkies, Brahmas and Austalrops. I would stay away from "butcher breeds" which are more aggressive and have a shorter life span. You can find day-old baby chickens at your local farm store in springtime, or order them from a mail-order catalog. Be aware that mail orders usually have a minimum order policy, requiring a shipment of at least 25 chicks. This is because larger numbers of chicks are easier to keep warm in transit, resulting in fewer losses. However, open the box in front of the mail carrier to account for any losses. Place your order in spring. You don't want to be ordering in the middle of autumn or winter. Colder weather can hold you back and be much harder to care for your chickens. If you order at the start of spring it'll be easier for you and the chicks. Besides, most chicks are only available to order in spring. If you only want three or four chicks to start off, consider combining your order with the orders of other local chicken breeders or farmers to overcome the minimum shipment requirement. Alternatively, you can ask a farm-supply store if they will include your order in their own. If possible, specify that you want all females when you place your order. Roosters can be loud and aggressive and are not recommended for first-timers. The hens will also lay better without roosters around. Initially, the chickens will need a brooder, which is a small enclosure like a cardboard box or rabbit cage, which can be kept indoors or in a garage. Then, once they move outside, they will need a chicken coop; a safe place where they can lay their eggs and be safe from predators. In the chick stage, the chicks might do something called feather picking. This is where the chicks pick at another chick new feathers, the shafts of which are filled with blood. The chicks are attracted to the color red, and will therefore pick all the feathers, resulting in the crippling or death of the chick. To discourage, buy a brooder light that is red. The blood will look less interesting because everything will be red. Once grown, chickens don't necessarily need a whole farmyard to run around in, in fact, city and suburban chickens are becoming increasingly popular amongst those who have even small-sized yards. However, you will need some semblance of a yard, preferably with grass for the chickens to peck around in.

29,727 | Article: If you find that you have too much energy during the day, you may be consuming some form of a stimulant. Try to reduce your coffee intake. This is the most popular stimulant used by adults. You may think that you need your morning coffee in order to power through the day. Chances are, if you feel really hyper throughout the day, you may be overloading. Try cutting back on your coffee. Go from 3 to 2 cups a day and see if there is a change. If you are more of a tea drinker, do the same for tea. Caffeinated sodas can also be the culprit. Reduce the amount of soda you drink in a day. Drink water instead. Eat less chocolate. Just like with coffees, teas, and sodas, chocolate won’t necessarily lead to hyperactivity, but it can certainly give you a rush of energy that may be interpreted as such. The primary concern with sugars is that they get into your bloodstream quickly. So if you eat a lot of sugary foods, you are constantly feeding your body a source of quick-burning energy. If you normally get really hyper after lunch, reduce the amount of sugar you take in at lunch. See if this helps. Many parents and medical practitioners agree that lab created colors and additives may lead to slightly higher levels of hyperactivity in children. There is no definitive study that points to artificial coloring or additives as a cause of hyperactivity. Studies that do exist rely on subjective findings, in part, because they have to rely on parents to describe the changes in their own children. Other opponents point to the fact that most food items with artificial ingredients are also loaded down with sugar. The stimulant sugar may be the cause of the increased hyperactivity. Eat a lot of fish, like salmon and tuna. Many leafy green vegetables also contain fatty acids. These fatty acids facilitate the transfer of neurotransmitters in the brain. When your neurotransmitters function improperly, it can cause hyperactivity and loss of concentration. Oftentimes, omega-3 fatty acid deficiency and ADHD are mistaken for one another. Since your body cannot create these fatty acids, it is necessary for you to include them in your diet. Since nicotine is a stimulant, you may be getting an unneeded energy boost during your smoke breaks. Try skipping cigarette breaks at points in the day when you might otherwise feel hyper. If the above steps don’t help to alleviate hyperactivity, see a nutritionist. They can examine your particular diet and then suggest specific alterations to help your hyperactivity, energy crises.

Implement a referral program. Shift your marketing focus to the digital realm. Focus your ad campaigns on what makes your company different.
Article: | Give your existing customers an incentive to refer others to your business. Offer a small reward, like a $10 discount, to both the original customer and the referred party when you make a new sale. This will help encourage customer loyalty as well as word-of-mouth advertising. Traditional marketing methods, like television and radio ads, can still be effective, but if you’re trying to cut costs, consider focusing on digital advertising. Social media campaigns and pay-per-click ads can offer a high return for a relatively small investment. If there’s something about your company that you’re especially proud of, even if it’s not directly related to your product or service, consider making that the focus of a marketing campaign. For instance, if you give all of your employees stock in your company, let the public know about that. It sends a message that you care for your workers, and that can build consumer confidence in your brand. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,729 | Write an article based on this "Start your new hair care regime immediately. Use a clarifying shampoo if your hair is dry or staticky. Strengthen your hair with a protein-based conditioner. Turn a deep conditioner into a hydrating mask. Replenish your hair with a hot oil treatment. Give treatments 3 months before reassessing your hair. Cut the damage off as a last resort."
Article: | The sooner you catch and treat the damage, the better. The longer you wait before treating the damage, the more difficult it will be to repair. In some cases, you may have to resort to more extreme treatments, such as cutting your hair. Your hair care regime includes not only treatments, but also good habits, such as avoiding heat styling. Clarifying shampoo can help smooth and calm your hair when it’s dry or crispy. If you can't find a clarifying shampoo, use a gentle shampoo instead, then rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar. Wash your hair no more than twice per week. Skip the hot water and use cool or lukewarm water instead. Don’t use a clarifying shampoo if your hair is severely damaged, as this could make the damage even worse. If you’re unsure whether to use it or not, ask a stylist. Protein-based conditioners fill the tiny rips and tears in your hair, making it stronger. The repair is not permanent, and only lasts until the next time you wash your hair. The benefit is that your hair is stronger and more resistant to damage. Consider using a leave-in conditioner after you step out of the shower. This will help lock the moisture in and keep your hair hydrated throughout the day. Follow the directions carefully. Don’t leave the conditioner in for longer than the recommended time, as this can make your hair brittle. Get your hair damp first, then apply a deep conditioner to it. Pull your hair up into a loose bun, and cover it with a shower cap. Wrap a hot towel around your head, wait 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse the deep conditioner out. Look for ingredients such as keratin, olive oil, protein, or shea butter. If you are in a hurry, apply a deep conditioner to your hair after you rinse the shampoo out. Leave it in for 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse it out. You can use hair masks once or twice each week. Heat some olive oil over the stove, then allow it to cool down to room temperature. Apply it to clean, towel-dried hair. Tuck your hair under a shower cap, then wrap a hot towel around your hair. Wait 1 hour, then rinse the oil out with cold water. Use shampoo to remove any residue, if desired. You can do this treatment 1 to 3 times a month. How much olive oil you use depends on how long and thick your hair is. You need enough to completely saturate your hair. For a deep conditioning treatment, leave the oil on overnight. How often you use a treatment depends on the product itself, so read the label carefully. In most cases, you can use them once or twice a week. If you don't see any progress after 3 months, your hair is likely damaged beyond repair. Visit a salon to have the damage cut out. Keep in mind that not all treatments work for everyone. What works for your best friend may not work for you. How short you cut your hair depends on how far up the damage extends. Ideally, you should cut all of the damage off. If your hair is damaged all the way to the roots and you don't want to cut all of your hair off, cut layers into it instead. This will prevent the damage from creeping further up the hair shaft. Make the most of your cut. Go for a chic bob or a cute pixie. If you want something more edgy, try an undercut instead. If you don’t want to go too short, you can trim your hair every 4-6 weeks until the damage is gone. This will take longer, but will prevent the ends from fraying, which can increase the damage. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,730 | Near the end of the contract, you want to explain how the contract can be terminated and what grounds can trigger termination. Generally, you will want to give yourself the power to terminate the agreement if the artist breaks any provision in the contract. For example, you could write: “If artist is in material breach of any material term or provision of this agreement, or if the company determines that artist’s ability to perform as a recording artist has become impaired, then in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the company at law or equity, the company shall have the following options: (1) to terminate this agreement at any time, whether or not artist has commenced to cure the default before such termination occurs; (2) to suspend the company’s obligations to render accounting statements or payments to the artist until such time as the artist eliminates the default or condition; and/or (3) require artist to repay to company the amount of any advances not yet recouped.” This clause states that the contract contains the entirety of your agreement. Any prior agreements are merged (and superseded) by the written agreement. You want this clause so that the artist doesn’t sue and claim that you had a prior oral agreement that isn’t included in the contract. A sample merger clause might read: “This contract contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters contained herein. It may not be modified, waived, or supplemented except in a writing signed by all parties.” If you find yourself in a contract dispute, then the judge will have to interpret the contract using a state’s law. You can decide which state’s law you want to use. Generally, companies pick the law of the state where they are located. A choice of law provision could read: “This contract shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Tennessee, excluding that State’s choice-of-law principles, and all claims relating to or arising out of the contract, or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall likewise be governed by the laws of Tennessee, excluding that State’s choice-of-law principles.” You should clearly lay out each party’s address. Don’t put this information under the signature blocks. Instead, you can insert it before the signatures. Make sure that you have the following information for each party: name address daytime telephone evening telephone fax number email address It is common for many different people to sign a recording contract, so you will probably need five signature lines. Just above the lines, include the following: “In witness whereof, all of the following parties have caused their legal signatures to be affixed in agreement this [insert blank line for the date].” You should have a signature line for each of the following people: Record Label Representative Management Company Producer Co-Producer Artist or Artist’s Music Company Representative The contract may be signed in front of a notary public. If you want the contract notarized, then include a notary block. You can find an appropriate block for your state by searching the Internet. This is only a basic recording contract. After you have completed a draft, you should show the contract to your lawyer. He or she will look it over and tell you if you need to include anything else. Contracts usually have to be modified according to your particular business needs. If you don’t have a lawyer, then ask other recording companies who their attorney is and whether they would recommend their attorney. You can then call the lawyer and schedule a consultation. Take your sample contract with you. You can negotiate the terms of the contract. Let the artist and the artist’s lawyer (if there is one) look over the contract. They may write comments on the draft and send this draft back to you. Your lawyers may have to talk with each other to negotiate compromises on some issues. Make sure that each side agrees to the entire contract before signing it. After everyone has signed the agreement, you should make at least one copy for each person who signed it. Also keep the original in a safe place, such as a safety deposit box.
Summary: | Include a termination clause. Add a merger clause. Insert a choice of law provision. Include the address of the parties. Include signature lines. Add a notary block. Show the contract to your lawyer. Give the draft contract to the artist. Distribute copies of the signed agreement. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

The formula is P=2l+2w{\displaystyle P=2l+2w}, where P{\displaystyle P} equals the perimeter of the rectangle, l{\displaystyle l} equals the length of the rectangle, and w{\displaystyle w} equals the width of the rectangle. This method will only work if you are given the perimeter and length of the rectangle. You might also see the formula written as P=2(w+h){\displaystyle P=2(w+h)}, where h{\displaystyle h} equals the height of the rectangle and is used instead of length. The variables l{\displaystyle l} and h{\displaystyle h} refer to the same measurement, and the distributive property dictates that these two formulas, although arranged differently, will give you the same result. Make sure you substitute for the correct variables. For example, if you are trying to find the width of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 22 centimeters, and a length of 8 centimeters, your formula will look like this:22=2(8)+2w{\displaystyle 22=2(8)+2w}22=16+2w{\displaystyle 22=16+2w} To do this, you need to subtract the length from each side of the equation, then divide by 2. For example, in the equation 22=16+2w{\displaystyle 22=16+2w}, you would subtract 16 from each side, then divide by 2.22=16+2w{\displaystyle 22=16+2w}6=2w{\displaystyle 6=2w}62=2w2{\displaystyle {\frac {6}{2}}={\frac {2w}{2}}}3=w{\displaystyle 3=w} Don’t forget to include the unit of measurement. For example, for a rectangle with a perimeter of 22cm{\displaystyle 22cm} and a length of 8cm{\displaystyle 8cm}, the width would be 3cm{\displaystyle 3cm}.

Never throw the ball straight ahead, unless there are no defenders or pressure (like deep in your own defensive half). Think about it -- a throw-in is a high, slow, and predictable pass, one that is easily read and picked off. Furthermore, your teammate will receive the ball facing the worst possible direction -- the sideline. The chances of an error or, even worst, getting picked off, are compounded by the fact that the defense running after the ball is heading right towards your goal.

Place a piece of painter's tape on the wall roughly where you want the object to be. Then use the measuring tape to measure the height of the exact spot. Mark it on the painter's tape using a pencil. The painter's tape will help keep the plaster from cracking when you drill into it. Use a drill bit that is narrower than the width of the screws you are using. For instance, if you are using screws that are 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) wide, use a drill bit that is 3⁄16 inch (0.48 cm). Drive the bit into the wall at the spot you marked. Work carefully, holding the drill at a right angle to the wall. Plaster is hard, so you will feel some resistance. That resistance may increase if the drill enters the lathe (the wooden support that holds up the plaster). Switch to a screwdriver attachment on your drill. Drive a screw almost all of the way in. Leave a bit of distance between the screw head and the wall surface. Wrap one end of a wire tightly around the screw head. Attach the other end to the hook or support on the object you want to hang. Adjust the wire length until the object is at the height you want. Some objects (like many picture frames) will have a hole in the back that you can set directly on the screw to hold it in place. Use a level to fine-tune the placement of your object.

A composition's tonality states the key and whether it is Major or Minor. At an early stage of composition, a key could be as simple as making an arbitrary choice, but it will have the biggest impact on the sound of your composition. If you finish your work later on and want to try it out in different keys, you should do so, but be forewarned that it takes a fair amount of work to transpose a composition note by note into another key. The piano keyboard has been explored to death. Every possible combination has been tried and studied at this point. With that, theory can suggest the most appropriate chords. The most famous of these is the I-IV-V-vi progression (the lower case denotes a Minor chord). The Roman numerals indicate how many keys above the root the given chord is. These four chords have been proven to go together very well. Try using a chord map to get you started. Although this might sound too mathematical at the start, the truth is that it'll come without thinking to you once you get the basics of theory down pat. Scales are useful tools in the creation of melody. Although melodies need to be properly felt out in order to be memorable and effective, using a scale will narrow down the notes you're conventionally supposed to use. Make sure the scale you're using is in accordance with the chords and key you've chosen. The standard scale is a C Major scale. This scale is often used for vocal warm-ups before a performance. Some avant-garde composers in the 20th century would open up the piano itself and change the tuning of the strings, but prior to the adoption of equal temperament for keyboard instruments in the 18th century, there were numerous tunings in use. Changing all of the keys even a 16th of a step can result in a strange new experience of the piano. Be advised that messing around with a piano should only be done if you are an expert. Otherwise, you'll probably just end up sabotaging your piano for regular use. Notation is the technical language of music. If you're a serious composer, it's essential that you have at least some knowledge of notation and how to get your ideas down accurately on paper. Although it takes a little bit of time to get used to, there are fortunately lots of free online resources to help get you up to par with your notation reading and writing. If you're completely new to notation, you should try sight-reading a few basic songs on the piano until you're more used to it. There are digital notation programs that may prove easier to work with than pen and paper.

Make sure you’re being a good listener when he speaks. If he feels like you’re ignoring him or that you’re distracted, he may not want to open up. Give your full attention when he’s talking and don’t get distracted by the television, your phone, or other things. Nod occasionally and appear engaged by leaning in and keeping an open posture. Maintain eye contact to show that you’re engaged. Encourage him to go on by saying, “Uh huh” or, “I see” to show that you’re listening. When your boyfriend speaks, remember the important things he brings up. If he brings up the same topic a couple times, this likely means it’s something that’s important to him or that he cares about. If you’re looking for something to discuss, ask him for an update on something he brought up before. For example, say, “You were working on a project in your garage, did you finish it?” Give him opportunities to open up that might appeal to him. Offer to do something that both of you like. This will put him in a relaxed and familiar state of mind, which may make him feel more open and willing to talk. This also allows you to have more things to talk about regarding the activity. Maybe you both enjoy playing video games, ice skating, or watching movies. When your boyfriend opens up or talks, give him some positive feedback. Show your gratitude for his openness. This will show him that you appreciate when he opens up and want him to do more of it. For example, say, “I always enjoy learning more about you” or, “I didn’t know that about you, thanks for sharing.”

Wipe it down to remove dust before painting or staining. Run your hand over the repaired area to see if it's smooth. Also, make sure you have filled in the hole and that it's level with the wood. Even if you filled in the hole completely, it may have settled out and left a depression or hole. If you haven't completely filled in the hole, repeat the process by adding more wood filler. Most wood fillers can be painted, but fillers may affect how the paint looks. If you use primer first, it can help even out the look of the area. This process works particularly well if you're painting a whole piece of furniture that you've repaired holes on. Once you've got the repaired area perfectly level with the rest of the wood, you can apply paint or stain to match the rest of the wood. If you're not sure of the paint or stain, you may want to test it first in an inconspicuous area to make sure it matches. You can also test stain on a piece of scrap wood.

The new cells in your mouth will be very sensitive- if you expose them to hot food before the burn is fully healed, they can easily burn again. Also it will be very painful. Blow on food and drinks to cool them off faster. For drinks, you should consider adding an ice cube to ensure they are a safe temperature. Test everything before putting it in your mouth. Touch it with just the tip of your tongue to make sure it is a safe temperature. Foods like crackers, chips, and crunchy bread should be off the menu until your burn heals. These can scratch against your burn, which will be very painful. They can also pop blisters, which will slow the healing process and put you at increased risk of an infection. Spicy food will cause a lot of pain for your healing mouth. The irritation from spices can also slow the healing process. If you're a fan of spicy food, it would be best to abstain for a few days while your burn heals. Also avoid adding any spices like pepper to your food. These are mostly citrus-fruits like lemons, oranges, and pineapples. Citric acid will hurt and slow the healing process. Wait at least 3 days before bringing these foods back into your diet.

Bring mindfulness skills into your everyday life. Take a moment for a 7/11 breathing exercise. Try a walking meditation. Meditate on the subway. Practice meditation before going to sleep.
Article: | You can bring meditation and mindfulness into your everyday life by learning BOLD skills, which stand for breathing, observing, listening, and deciding on actions. BOLD skills include the following: Breathing deeply and slowing down. When you feel like life is getting stressful and busy, take a moment to breathe deeply and slow down your thoughts and feelings. Observing your thoughts and feelings. By practicing meditation, you will learn to observe and become more aware of your thoughts and feelings. Listen to yourself. Once you have learned to meditate and pay more attention to your thoughts and feelings, you will be able to better listen to yourself. You may notice that there are things in your life that you want to pay more attention to. Decide the things you want to do in your life. With regular meditation practice, you will be able to improve your decision-making skills. There is evidence for meditation and mindfulness improving cognitive and decision-making skills, so you may as well practice. If you are feeling stress or anxiety about an exam or other event in your life, try this breathing exercise. Take a long deep breath. As you inhale, count to seven. On your exhale, count to eleven. Let all of the air out of your body and then breathe in again. This exercise only takes a moment and will make you feel more relaxed during a busy day. The 7/11 breathing exercise is part of a study on the role of meditation in improving young people’s mental health. Start by taking too deep breathes. Feel the breath going deep into your belly. Relax your shoulders and feel the sensation of your feet on the ground. Then, start walking and direct your attention to the feeling of your body moving. If you find your mind wandering, label your thoughts or feelings “thought buses” and then come back to the feeling of your body. Notice the feeling of the soles of your feet on the ground and the sensation of the air against your face. Pay some attention to where you are walking but avoid getting distracted by the surrounding landscape. Walking meditation is part of a study in the UK that is focused on the role of meditation in improving young people’s mental health. Do a walking meditation somewhere you know. If you are walking someplace new, it will be harder to focus on the meditation. It is helpful to set aside at least twenty minutes for a walking meditation. If you are meditating regularly, you might try doing a walking meditation after your sitting meditation. If you walk to school or work, you might want to try a walking meditation during that time. If you take the subway to school or work, you could try meditating there. If you know how long it takes, you can use set a timer or use a meditation app so that you don’t miss your stop. Sitting on the subway, keep your back straight and your chest open. As your thoughts come and go, keep your attention directed to your breath. If you find it hard to make time for meditation during the day, you could try meditating before sleep. Since meditation reduces stress and anxiety, you may get a better rest. You should still meditate in a sitting posture. Watch your breath and observe your mind for five minutes before going to bed. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,739 | Write an article based on this "Choose wicker furniture for versatility. Select wood furniture for a traditional feel. Opt for quality plastic furniture to save money. Pick iron furniture for a durable option. Take precautions when choosing fabric."
Article: | Wicker furniture is one of the most popular materials for outdoor furniture. It's a very versatile material, and you can get many varieties of patio furniture with wicker. Wicker comes in a variety of colors. You can also paint wicker furniture to better match your patio's color scheme. Many different types of furniture (tables, chairs, end tables) come in wicker varieties. You should be able to find something in wicker that fits your style and color scheme. Wicker generally holds up against water. However, you should make sure your wicker is made out of polyethylene as this will be most weather resistant. Opt for new wicker furniture that hasn’t been subjected to rain or humidity, as it won’t be very strong or durable. Wood is another classic material for patio furniture. If you're looking for a practical, old fashioned style, wood may be your best option. Like wicker, wood comes in many different styles and colors. If you want wood furniture, you should be able to find a piece that matches your needs in wood. It should say somewhere on the label whether the wood is authentic. However, make sure you're buying real wood. Many patio furniture labeled as wood is actually made of synthetic materials. Only real wood will hold up well long term. Take into account the maintenance that comes with having wood furniture. You may need to power wash, stain, or seal the wood periodically to keep it in good condition. Plastic can be a cheaper option if you're on a budget. It’s also lightweight and easy to move. Quality plastics are also very durable and resistant to many different types of weather. Plastics can be great if you're looking for patio furniture to last year round. Look for recycled plastic and polymer for best results. You should also keep your eyes out for plastics that come with UV-stabilizing pigments, as these will prevent colors from fading. Iron may work great if you live in an area prone to heavy wind or rain. Iron is of a heavier weight than other varieties, so it can stand its ground during volatile weather conditions. Iron works best for year round patio furniture that does not need to be moved much throughout the year. If you live in an area where it snows during winter, iron furniture must be stored inside. Look for powder-coated, UV resistant finishes when choosing iron furniture. Ensure the traditional style of iron furniture matches the existing decor of your home. Fabric can be a great addition to patio furniture as it adds comfort. However, if you're choosing fabric, be careful. You want a fabric that is weather resistant and easy to store. Solution-dyed acrylic are best for fabric furniture. These fabrics are designed for outside use. Look for fabric that can be machine-washed or cleaned with a garden hose. Choose cushions you can easily carry so you can move them indoors during rain or snowfall. Select patterned, rather than solid or bright, fabric to hide dirt and sun-fading. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,740 | Squirrels can jump directly from the branches to your roof. Cut back branches that hang over your roof, along with any that come within 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) of your house to help keep them away. Just trim off enough of the branch that the squirrel can't make the jump anymore. Use a hand saw or pruning shears. Always play it safe when climbing a ladder. Make sure the ladder is sturdy and sitting on a stable surface. If you can, ask someone to hold the ladder while you climb it. If the trim limbs are near power lines, call the power company or a professional to deal with them. Typically, you fit the square metal mesh bottom over the top of your chimney with the cage coming down the sides. Then, you can screw in the 4 screws onto the sides, which will go directly into the tile or stone of your flue. The cap on top and metal mesh on the sides will keep squirrels out. Squirrels can come in through your fireplace. Pick a cover made of stainless steel mesh. It'll keep the squirrels and other animals out, but you can still use your chimney. You can find these at home improvement stores. Some require that you screw the metal mesh down into the stone from above. Squirrels can burrow their way into your house through small areas. Go up during the day so you can see sunlight shining through. Fill the holes with metal mesh to block their entry. You can nail or staple the edges into place on the inside or outside of the hole. Be sure to look outside, too. Check under the eaves to see if you can find any holes. Once you cover the areas, add an extra layer of protection by using a repellent. Try one that has capsaicin in it, for instance. This chemical is the one that makes peppers hot, and squirrels don't like it! You can also use predator urine as a deterrent in your yard and around your home. However, this can smell pretty bad, so typically, you'd only use it in your garden, not around your house. You can buy it at home improvement stores.

This will tell us the hour of the day. The hours hand always points at the big numbers on the clock. When it's pointed between two numbers, the hour of the day is always the lower number. So if the hours hand is pointed between 5 and 6 on the clock, it's 5-something, because 5 is the lower number. For example, if the small, thick hand is pointed directly at the number 9, it's exactly 9 o'clock. Watch as the hour hand moves slowly closer to a big number, the minutes hand gets closer to the number 12. When the minutes hand hits 12, the next hour starts.

Time yourself running for 60 seconds. As you run, count how many times your feet strike the ground. Calculating how many steps you take per minute will give you an idea of what your cadence currently is and how much you need to improve. Most runners have a cadence of 150-170 steps per minute, while elite runners will often have a cadence of over 180. A stride is two steps—one by each foot. Divide your steps per minute by two to find your stride per minute. Most running analyses use steps per minute, but you may find strides per minute more convenient for your training. You only need a few minutes of film. Find a track or a treadmill where you can run at your optimal speed. It is best to ask a friend or a coach to hold the camera for you. You can also try using a tripod, although it may not catch the full length of your run. You may need to watch the footage several times. Upload the video onto a computer or TV so that you can see your form in large detail. When reviewing the footage, pay special attention to your knee, head, and shoulder placement. You may compare your running form to professional and elite runners. You will need to correct any mistakes in form or style before you can start to improve your stride. Ask yourself: How high do you drive your knees? What is your posture like? How fast are you running? Do you land on your forefoot, midfoot, or heel? While there is some debate on what is the best foot strike, it is generally agreed that you should avoid landing on your heel. You may need to reform your foot strike to a more consistent style. A forefoot strike will cause the least amount of shock on your body. You land on the balls of your feet before rotating back on your midfoot or heel. Your foot will rotate forward again to propel your next stride. A midfoot strike spreads the impact throughout your foot. It will look like you are landing flat on your feet or that you are landing on both the ball and heel of your feet. A good midfoot strike will land on the outside of the foot. A heel strike can cause stress and injury. Your foot will land on the heel and rock forward to propel your body on the ball of your foot. If you do not have not a good form, you may not be reaching your full running potential. Each time you watch your video, look at a different part of your body, and see if you need to correct any mistakes. Your head should be looking straight ahead, not down at your feet or at the track. Your shoulders should be down and relaxed, not tight and scrunched up by your neck. Your arms should be relaxed, and they should be moving backwards and forwards, not sideways. Keep your arms positioned between your chest and lower waist. Your back should be straight. You should be leaning slightly forward, centered over your hips. You should not be leaning back. Different styles of running will require different techniques. Training is a highly individual process, and what works for some may not work for others. Understand what your needs are so that you can improve your stride using the techniques best for you. Sprinters will want to increase their stride length. High knee lifts and hip exercises will be most beneficial. Mid-distance runners may want to improve both stride length and rate. They will need to focus on glute, hamstring, hip, and core exercises. Endurance runners may want a shorter stride length and a faster stride rate. They will want to work on core, glutes, and hamstrings. If you’ve had an injury, you may want to avoid widening your stride length, focusing instead on proper form and stride speed.

If your senses aren't stimulated, then your mind won't be stimulated, and you'll be headed toward nap mode. To help yourself stay alert, look for ways to stimulate your eyes, ears, and even your nose throughout the day. Try some of the following: Keep your mouth engaged by sucking on a mint or chewing gum. Position yourself near a window that provides indirect sunlight. Sitting directly in the sun can make you tired, but being near sunlight can wake up your senses. Wake up your sense of smell by sniffing peppermint oil. You can carry a tiny bottle of it with you. Keep your eyes active by taking breaks to shift your gaze when they get tired from looking at the same thing. Listen to music. Jazz, hip-hop, or light rock can wake you up. Keeping your body stimulated is just as important as stimulating your senses. If your body is more alert, your mind will be too, so you should try to keep your body engaged no matter where you are. Try a few of these tricks: Gently pull down on your earlobes. Pinch yourself in parts of your body that don't have much fat, such as your forearms or the space under your knees. Stretch your wrists by pulling your fingers back away from you. Roll your shoulders and your neck. If you really feel like you're in danger of falling asleep, lightly bite down on your tongue. While intense exercise might wear you out, light to moderate exercise will improve your overall energy level and make you feel invigorated. Take 15-30 minutes to exercise in the late morning or early afternoon, when you need an extra boost of energy. Go for a brisk walk around the neighborhood. Nothing will wake you up like filling your lungs with fresh air. Take a midday yoga class. This is another great way to clear your mind, improve your breathing, and to get ready for the rest of the day. You’re engaging in moderate exercise if your heart rate is somewhat elevated and you’re breathing heavily enough that it’s tough to carry on a full conversation. Don’t do more than light exercise after mid-afternoon—if you work out late in the evening, your adrenaline will spike and it may be harder for you to fall asleep. Even if you don't have time for a full workout, you can make your body more alert by engaging in some basic physical activity throughout your day. Just a few minutes of physical activity from time to time is a great way to tell your body, "Hey, it's not time for sleep!" During the workday, take short walks in the halls or go across the street to get coffee. Avoid elevators whenever you can. Take the stairs instead. If you're sitting at a desk all day, stand to do some basic stretches at least once per hour. A healthy breakfast is a great way to kick off your day, but you need to follow it up with a nutritious lunch and dinner as well. Eating healthy foods will give you more sustenance and energy, while unhealthy foods can drag you down and make you feel ready for bed. Carry around an array of healthy snacks so you don't give in to the vending machine. Some great snack foods are almonds and cashews, celery sticks and peanut butter, and fresh or dried fruits. Eat three healthy and balanced meals throughout the day. Make room for some light snacking so you don't overindulge during mealtime. Avoid heavy meals, starchy foods, or foods that are high in fat or sugar. All of these foods will make you more tired and will tax your digestive system. Have some caffeine in the early afternoon, between your natural cortisol spikes at around midday and early evening. Stay hydrated throughout the day. Energy drinks often have at least double the amount of caffeine of a cup of coffee, and they frequently have excess sugar and various unregulated ingredients that may have unintended health consequences. It’s much safer to rely on getting enough sleep at night, eating healthy, and staying active during the day to avoid being tired. Energy drinks will give you a temporary boost of alertness, so consider using them sparingly and only when necessary. Energy drinks can cause heart and blood vessel problems in some people, so talk to your doctor before using them, especially if you have any cardiovascular issues. Never mix energy drinks with alcohol, as it can make you more likely to drink too much without immediately recognizing the effects.
Summary: | Stimulate your senses to keep your mind active. Give your body mild stimulations to stay alert. Exercise in late morning or early afternoon for an alertness boost. Find ways to keep your body moving if you can’t exercise. Maintain a healthy diet throughout the day. Don’t rely on energy drinks to keep you going. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

Reading your speech out loud is important because it gives you an idea of what it will actually sound like when your audience hears it. As you read aloud, make a note of any sections of your speech that sound awkward or confusing. Remove any words or phrases you keep stumbling over or can't pronounce. Stand in front of a mirror while you read your speech out loud so you can work on your eye contact and facial expressions. Have them sit down while you stand up in front of them and give your speech. Ask for constructive criticism and apply it to your presentation. Keep running through your speech until you're both confident that it's polished and you're ready for the event. If there's someone mentioned in your speech that can't attend the event, invite them to practice with you. That way they get to hear your speech and you have someone to give you pointers. Use a camcorder, computer, or your phone. Make sure you're standing for the recording and set the camera far enough away that it captures your entire body. If you'll be giving your speech at a podium, find something to use as a podium for the video, like a table or a desk. Watch the recording after you've finished and take detailed notes on how you look. Use the notes to improve your presentation. Pay attention to your body language in the recording. Are you standing up straight? Are you moving your hands around nervously? Use the recording to improve your body language so you look more confident giving your speech. Notice how your voice sounds. Make sure you're speaking loud enough and that what you're saying is clear and understandable. Read through your speech several times, timing yourself during each run through. If the average time it takes you to get through your speech is longer than the time you've been allotted at the event, edit your speech until it's shorter.

29,747 | Article: There are several ways to find an asbestos testing laboratory to test your sample: The U.S. Department of Commerce has established a voluntary accreditation program for asbestos testing labs, and provides a Directory listing of the labs who have become accredited. Labs are listed by state and listings include links to the labs’ websites. Check out some well known international labs, such as the International Asbestos Testing Laboratory or EMSL Analytical, Inc.. Many labs offer testing for non-local residents, through Federal Express (“FedEx”), United Parcel Service (“UPS”), or United States Postal Service (“USPS”). Just run a search at your favorite search engine for “asbestos testing”. Check the yellow pages for "Laboratories — Analytical." Asbestos testing is cheap as lab tests go. You can typically get three samples tested for under $100 USD. Most companies have a submission form for you to complete and mail or bring in with your sample. Print and complete the form and send with your sample and payment to the address listed for sample submission. If it turns out the plaster does contain asbestos, and it is not in good condition, hire an asbestos contractor to handle it. You can either have the plaster removed completely, or seal it underneath a protective coating that traps the asbestos fibers. Make sure the contractor is government accredited. Your local or state health board may be able to provide a list of accredited organizations. Trying this yourself is not recommended. If you're set on the idea, make sure to comply with legal requirements in your area. After the job is done, you can hire an asbestos inspector or air testing contractor to confirm the asbestos was successfully handled without releasing asbestos into the air.

29,749 | Write an article based on this "Stick to preppy brands of clothing. Choose classic designs that fit well. Stock up on must-have preppy items. Add khakis to your wardrobe. Buy a blazer. Go for a cable knit sweater. Wear loafers. Replicate a prep school uniform."
Article: | Some brands of clothing are iconic for being preppy (e.g. Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger). Add a few key items from these designers to your wardrobe; while these labels can be pricey, the clothes are generally well-made and classic enough for you to wear for years to come. To save money, track department store sales, or shop online for discounted or second-hand items. As a general rule, preppy clothing features clean lines, tailored cuts, neutral colors, and an overall neatness. The style also incorporates many nautical and equestrian elements that add an extra flair to the look. Design-wise, be on the lookout for: Tailored trousers or skirts Clean, crisp button-down shirts Sailing or equestrian apparel (e.g. boat shoes or riding boots) There are certain key items that correspond to a classic, preppy look. Most of these items are classy and conservative, but also laid back in style. Stock up on a few pieces to build a core wardrobe that can be mixed and matched easily; some key examples (for all genders) are: Cotton khaki pants Wool blazers, in classic, subdued colors like navy blue Cable knit sweaters Loafers Khaki pants are essentially the jeans of traditional clothing. They are neutral enough to go with everything, can be dressed up or down for leisure activities or social events, and are a preppy staple for all genders. Purchase a good quality pair of cotton khaki trousers and pair them with a Polo shirt or navy blazer for an ultra preppy look. The blazer is an iconic preppy garment which can add a tailored, collegiate look to any outfit. Blazers are available in a variety of styles and colors but a classic navy, wool blazer is the epitome of prep school style. Look for a single breasted jacket with notched lapels; for the ultimate, traditional blazer, look for one with 3 brass buttons and a nautical-themed logo, or a logo of a recognizably preppy brand (e.g. Ralph Lauren.) Cable knit sweaters are a good investment because they never go out of style. They can be dressed up for more formal occasions (e.g. worn with a tie or bow tie) or worn with casual outfits. Choose a cable knit sweater in the design of your choice: Crew neck or V-neck Cotton, wool, or cashmere Solid color or made from a melange, two tone yarn Loafers are iconic, preppy shoes that are traditionally worn as a casual shoe, but can be upgraded for semi-formal situations (worn to work at an office with a laid-back dress code, for example.) These shoes are low, lace-less, and have a separate sole and heel. Choose the specific type of loafer that suits your preppy style: Penny loafers: feature a distinctive strip of leather with a diamond-shaped cut-out (the saddle) Tassel loafers: feature a leather lace and tassel as a decoration Gucci loafer: have a golden brass strap across the front Regardless of where you go to school, aim to replicate a prep school uniform to perfect your look. For ideas, visit preparatory school websites to read the rules and regulations of their dress codes. For instance, DC Preparatory Academy in Washington enforces the following uniform for its students: Blue Oxford shirts or Polo shirts Navy blue cardigans, v-neck sweaters, or sweater vests Solid black, brown or navy dress shoes Khakis | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,750 | Look for a gel or lotion that contains 5% tea tree oil. Alternatively, you may mix 2–3 drops of undiluted oil in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of a carrier, such as avocado or almond oil. Use a cotton swab to rub the oil directly on your blackheads so it absorbs into your skin. Continue applying the oil on to your skin twice daily until your blackheads go away. You can buy tea tree oil online or from your local drugstore. Tea tree oil is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant so it works to shrink your blemishes and kill bacteria on your skin. If you have sensitive skin, tea tree oil may cause itching, burning, or redness. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using the oil and try a different treatment option. Wet a cotton applicator pad with your echinacea extract so it’s damp but not dripping wet. Hold the pad against your skin and apply gentle pressure as you massage the extract into your skin until it absorbs completely. Use the echinacea daily until your blackheads or acne disappear. You can purchase echinacea extract online or from your local pharmacy. Echinacea inhibits bacteria that cause inflammation to reduce the size of your blackheads. Soak a cotton ball in hydrogen peroxide and squeeze out any excess. Pat your blackheads with the cotton ball until they’re completely covered with the peroxide. Rinse the hydrogen peroxide off after 2–3 minutes. You may get dry skin if you use hydrogen peroxide, so follow up with a moisturizer. Hydrogen peroxide helps dry up sebum clogging your pores and kills bacteria on your skin. Mix equal parts aloe vera gel and basil essential oils in a small bowl until they’re thoroughly combined. Gently rub the mixture into your skin by hand until it absorbs completely. Keep using the mixture until your skin clears up. You can buy aloe gel and basil oil online or from your local drugstore. Aloe and basil both have antioxidants and are anti-inflammatories, so they reduce swelling and eliminate bacteria around your blemishes. Choose a clay mask that contains bentonite since it helps absorb sebum and oil from your skin better. Mix enough water with the clay until you can spread it easily by hand. Rub a thin layer of the clay onto your skin so it completely coats your blackheads. Leave the clay on until it dries completely before rinsing it off with warm water. Look for clay masks online or at your local pharmacy. Only use a clay mask once or twice each week so you don’t dry out your skin. Look for a lotion that contains about 3% green tea oil. Use a fingertip-sized amount of lotion and spread it over your skin. Rub the lotion over your blackheads gently until it absorbs into your skin and appears clear. Apply your lotion every day until your blemishes disappear or shrink. You can purchase green tea lotion online or at a drugstore. Green tea has anti-inflammatory properties, so it helps relieve irritation around your blackheads. It also acts as an antiseptic to get rid of bacteria on your skin. A comedone extractor is a small metal tool with a looped end you can use to scoop the blackhead out of your pores. Hold the loop against the blackhead and press it gently into your skin. Apply light pressure and wiggle the loop back and forth to work the blemish out. Lift the tool straight off of your skin to remove the blackhead and oil. Be careful not to press too hard or scrape the tool against your skin since you could cut yourself. You can buy a comedone extractor from your local pharmacy. Using a comedone extractor may be easier if you exfoliate your skin first. Look for a supplement that has about 50 mg of zinc so it’s the most effective. Swallow 1 supplement each day with a glass of water so it can absorb into your system. Continue taking zinc supplements until your blackheads clear up. You can buy zinc supplements from your local pharmacy. Zinc may cause bloating or diarrhea. Your body uses zinc to help promote wound healing and it also has anti-inflammatory properties so it can reduce the sizes of your blackheads. Always talk to your doctor before starting new supplements to ensure they won’t interact with any conditions or medications you have.
Summary: | Swab tea tree oil on your blackheads for the most effective treatment. Rub your skin with echinacea extract to help kill acne-causing bacteria. Dab your blackheads with hydrogen peroxide if you have mild acne. Try using aloe gel and basil oil to help shrink your blackheads. Put on a clay mineral mask to help stimulate and open your pores. Apply a green tea lotion if you have inflammation around your blackheads. Clean your pores with a comedone extractor to pull the blackheads out.

If your clay is only slightly hard, you may be able to soften it just by warming and kneading it with your hands. Before you start kneading the clay, hold the clay in your hands to warm it. You can also warm it using the heat of your body by sitting on top of it. Warmth helps to revitalize the clay. If your clay is only a little bit hard, you may be able to restore its softness just using body heat. No matter what method you use to soften clay, always warm it first. If the clay is especially hard, you may need to use a heat source to soften the clay. Lay a hot water bottle over your clay for twenty minutes to help soften it. You can also use a heat lamp, but be sure to not heat the clay over body temperature. This can cause the clay to start to bake, which will make it unusable. Additionally, you can put the clay in the microwave for 10-second spurts until it is warm. Once the clay has softened, roll it between your hands in a snake shape, then roll it into a ball. Rolling the clay creates friction, which helps to soften it. You can also cut the clay into small pieces, then roll it. If the clay is still too hard to roll with your hands, you may need to use more force. Lay the piece of clay on a clean cutting board or on the counter, then press down on the clay to flatten it out as much as you can. Then roll the clay out with a rolling pin. After you roll it out, it should be warm enough to roll with your hands. If your clay is too hard to roll out with a rolling pin, you will need a large amount of force. Break the clay up into as small of pieces as you can, then place the clay pieces in a sealed plastic bag. Wrap the bag with a cloth and put it on the floor or on the cement or pavement outside. Use a rubber mallet to pound on the clay for several minutes. Using the mallet will break up the clay and add friction which will make it softer. After you have used the rubber mallet, take the clay out of the bag and roll it with your hands into a ball. After you have rolled the clay, knead the clay with your hands on a counter just as you would with dough. Use as much force as you need to pull apart and reshape the clay. Kneading the clay ensures that you handle the entire surface area of the clay. You can also use a clay-kneading machine if you don’t want to knead by hand.

First, consider which parts of the relationship are moving too quickly. Identify what makes you uncomfortable, or what makes your partner uncomfortable. If you want to slow a relationship down, you'll need to understand why it's going too fast. You might feel the need to keep your partner in check. Perhaps your partner wants to escalate the physical side of the relationship, but you aren't comfortable doing so. Maybe he or she is demanding commitments that you know you can't keep. Perhaps he or she is falling head over heels for you, but you want to let your feelings blossom more gradually. On the other hand, you might need to slow down your own feelings. It's easy to feel "freaked out" if you sense they you're falling too quickly for your partner. Perhaps your significant other has specifically asked you to slow things down, for their sake. In this case, consider how you can respect what your partner needs out of the relationship. Notice the specific actions or situations that make you feel uncomfortable. Look for patterns. Try to understand exactly which circumstances make you feel like things are going too fast. Maybe you've just started seeing a guy, but he's inviting you to go on trips with him or asking you to be his date to a wedding. If this level of implied commitment bothers you, then that's what you need to address. Perhaps you've been dating a girl for a while, and she keeps dropping hints about marriage and children. If you aren't ready to think about these things, it might be putting a lot of strain on your relationship. Evaluate your goals for the relationship, your goals for personal growth, and your goals for the future. Consider whether this relationship is pushing you against your goals, and ask yourself whether the imbalance is something that you'll be able to resolve. Understand that you may just not be compatible. If your partner wants something different than you, it doesn't mean they're a bad person. It may just mean that you don't have the same goals. Consider whether it's worth building a relationship despite this.

Most cats will prefer the litter box to other parts of the house because of the texture of the litter. But, there are still steps you need to take to make sure you're offering the litter box as the best place to use the bathroom. Place the box in a quiet spot where the cat won’t be bothered by people, dogs, or loud noises. To keep the litter box clean, make sure you scoop the litter daily, and clean the box weekly. You should also replace or refresh the litter at least once a week. Provide enough litter boxes for more than one cat. If you have 2 cats, you need 3 litter boxes in different areas of the home. One cat might try to intimidate a less dominate cat away from using a single box. Don't frighten or startle your cat when it's using the box, or it may form a bad association with the box and start avoiding it. Buy a large box, even if you have to spend a little money on it. Cats are more comfortable in a larger (in area, not height) box. Don’t switch brands of litter on your cat, because cats don’t like sudden change. Switching from a clay litter to a scoopable clumping type of litter or vice versa might upset the cat so much it stops using the box. Don’t use heavily scented litters that might deter a cat from litter box use. Keep in mind that kittens and older cats with arthritis or other health problems may have problems getting in and out of a box that's too tall. Use low-height boxes in an easily accessible area for kittens and cats with special needs, or buy an adjustable litter box. Scratching is a normal part of cat behavior, and there's no way you can train it out of them. If your cat still has its claws, he'll need one or two scratching posts to keep him from scratching up furniture, woodwork, and so on. By providing a post, you allow the cat to indulge in normal, healthy behavior. Cats are curious, and will jump on counters or other places you'd like them to steer clear of. Scat mats, a perfectly timed mist of water from a spray bottle, or even a stern “no” can correct this behavior. With time and patience, you can teach your cat to stay away from your protected areas. You can also use a rattle can (an empty soda can filled with a few pebbles and the opening taped over). Toss it gently on the ground to scare a cat away from forbidden surfaces. DO NOT throw the can at the cat, for that may harm your cat. These products, which fill the air with calming synthetic pheromones, come as sprays or diffusers that plug into electrical outlets. They can help resolve litter box or scratching issues, and have also been proven to calm stressed or anxious cats.
Summary: | Encourage the cat to use a litter box. Make the litter box a comfortable place. Take young or old cats needs into consideration. Provide the cat with a scratching post. Discourage the cat from exploring forbidden surfaces. Consider using feline pheromone products. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

If you are able to use exercise equipment in a gym or workout facility, an adductor machine is great for working your inner thighs. Adductor machines can add a bit of variety into your workout routine. Sit in the seat of the machine, and place your inner thighs on the outside paddings. Your legs will be starting in an open position. Adjust the machine settings to set your starting degree of opening, and add any weight. Tighten your abs and make sure your back is flush against the seat back as you flex your legs and thighs to bring your knees together in the center. Once you reach both legs to the center, slowly open your legs back up to the starting position. Beginners should begin with small amounts of weight. As you gain muscle, you can add more weight. Consider doing about 3 sets of 8–10. Cable machines are readily available at workout facilities or gyms. However, if you don’t have a gym membership, the same resistance results can be found using a fitness band to carry out the identical mechanics. If you’re using a cable machine, attach the cable around your innermost ankle (closest to the machine) and adjust the added weight settings. If you’re using a fitness band, wrap the band around something immobile (like the leg of a table) and then attach the band around your innermost leg (closest to the table leg). Put all of your weight on the foot furthest from the table or machine. Flex your foot up that the cable or band is attached to, and pull your leg across the midline of your body, past your weight bearing foot. Let the cable or band travel in front of your weight bearing foot. Then slowly bring your foot back into your starting position. Each time you come back to your starting position, is one rep. Do this on both legs to complete this exercise. Keep the center of your body straight and your core muscles tightened as you pull your leg past your body’s midline. If you feel pain in your knees, try wrapping the band higher up on your leg. Complete approximately 3 sets of 10 reps on both of your legs. Stand on one leg and fully extend your other leg to prop the side of your foot on top of the exercise ball. Keep your body facing forward as you find balance on the ball. With the foot that is on top of the ball, push and roll the ball away from your body. As you push, your other weight bearing leg will have to bend at the knee to accommodate the movement. Do this movement on both legs to complete the workout. As you do this exercise, do not lead with a squat. Rather, have your other leg that is propped up on the ball lead the roll, and your squatting leg will follow. This will ensure that you are working your intended thigh muscles. Do approximately 2 sets of 10–15 on both legs. Start in a plank position on a smooth floor surface. For this plank position, your hands will be on the ground rather than your elbows, and your feet will be starting together. Make sure your shoulders are over your hands. Place each of your feet underneath a gliding disc. Keep your upper body steady and slide your feet outward and apart from each other. Open up your legs as wide as you can. Hold your legs in their open position, then slide your legs back together by squeezing your thigh muscles. Complete 2 sets of 15 reps, making sure to rest in between the sets as you need. Alternatively, you could use dishrags, washcloths, or paper plates to serve as gliding discs.

29,756 | Article: African violets are susceptible to a number of different diseases, including mildew, blight, and stem rot. Always wash your hands, put on gloves, and clean your gardening tools before and after handling any organic matter to prevent the spread of diseases from other plants or household objects. If you have a diseased plant in your home that hasn’t improved with chemical treatment, throw the plant away and inspect the rest of the plants for signs of infection. Since the crown of the plant is so close to the soil, dead leaves and flowers can cause too much moisture near the stem, causing it to rot. If you see a dead or dying leaf, trim it immediately and remove it from the pot to keep the plant healthy. If many of your leaves seem to be curling at the same time, try moving the plant to a warmer location. Sometimes, cold temperatures can cause the leaves to constrict and curl. Mealybugs and aphids like to crawl around on the fuzzy leaves of African violets. If you see the bugs on the leaves, physically remove them by forcefully spraying them with water to knock them off the leaves. If the problem persists, spray the leaves thoroughly and replant the violet into dry, sterilized soil. Many insects will hide on the underside of the leaves, so be sure to spray both the top and bottom of each leaf. You can also use an insecticidal soap for pest prevention.

Try to use the highest quality gelatin you can find. These will contain more nutrients than standard gelatin that's in most jello mixes. Heat the saucepan over medium until the jello mixture starts to bubble gently. Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes and stir it occasionally. Turn off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Don't let the jello sit for more than 5 minutes, since it could begin to set up and clump. Peel and slice your favorite fruit, so you get 1/2 to 1 cup (90 to 175 g) of sliced fruit. For example, you could use peaches, bananas, strawberries, or plums. Taste the jello and add a little sweetener, if you like. To sweeten the jello, consider using a few tablespoons of raw honey, coconut nectar or stevia. Arrange the fruit in the bottom of a glass baking dish or jello mold. Pour the jello mixture over the fruit and put the dish or mold in the refrigerator. Chill the jello for 3 to 4 hours, so it sets up completely. You can slice or scoop out the jello to serve it. You can refrigerate the jello overnight to help it firm up.

Brush and floss every day, including after meals. Control your intake of sugary and acidic foods and beverages. Use fluoride gels. Avoid mouthwashes and toothpastes that contain alcohol. Don't grind your teeth. Get regular checkups and cleanings at your dentist’s office.
Article: | Brushing and flossing every day and after meals can maintain the health of your teeth, fillings, and gums. A clean environment may help you avoid further fillings as well as unsightly stains. Make sure to brush and floss after meals if you can. If you have food stuck in your teeth, it promotes an environment that is rife for further cavities and can damage current fillings. If you don’t have a toothbrush, chewing a piece of gum can help. Coffee, tea, and wine can stain your filling and your teeth. If you drink any of these beverages, Try to brush your teeth afterward to prevent staining. Tobacco and smoking can also stain your fillings and teeth. Sugary and acidic foods and beverages may contribute to your need for fillings, and controlling your intake of them can lead to better oral health. Tooth decay can easily occur underneath an existing filling. Over time fillings will naturally breakdown and leak, so it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and good hygiene to prevent decay from forming under existing fillings, too. Brushing your teeth after consuming these foods may help prevent you from needing further fillings. If you can’t brush, because for example you're at school, then rinse your mouth with water. Increase your water intake. Limit your snacking frequency, avoid sticky foods. Eat a healthy and well-balanced diet of lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and legumes can help with your overall well-being, including oral health. Even some healthy foods are acidic, including citrus fruits. Continue eating these, but limit how much you consume and consider brushing your teeth when you’re done. Consider diluting juices with 50/50 water. Examples of sugary and acidic foods and beverages are soft drinks, sweets, candies, and wine. Sports drinks, energy drinks, and coffee with added sugar also count. If you have multiple fillings, ask your dentist to prescribe you a fluoride gel or paste. Fluoride helps to protect your teeth from new cavities and can promote general oral health Fluoride gel or paste also helps to strengthen your enamel, furthering the life of your fillings. Mouthwashes and toothpastes that contain alcohol can decrease the durability of fillings or even stain them. Use non-alcohol colored toothpaste or mouthwashes to avoid these problems. You can find toothpastes and mouthwashes without alcohol at most grocery and drug stores or online retailers. If you have a bad habit of clenching and grinding your teeth at night, you may damage your fillings and teeth. If you're a tooth-grinder, ask your dentist about using a mouth guard. Grinding wears your fillings and can cause sensitivity and damage including small chips and cracks. Nail biting, opening bottles or holding objects with your teeth are also bad habits. Try to avoid them so that you don’t damage your teeth or fillings. Regular checkups and cleanings are an integral part of maintaining oral health. See your dentist at least twice a year, or more often if you’re having any issues with your teeth or fillings. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,759 | Write an article based on this "Share your personal belongings. Let your sibling hang out with your friends. Give them advice when they need it. Be generous if living together."
Article: | If you’re like most people the idea of sharing with your siblings doesn’t come naturally, particularly if you already share a room with them. Whether it’s clothes, music or, for younger siblings, toys, sharing seems to breed a lot of arguments and hostility. Set some ground rules about sharing personal belongings. Inform your sibling that they are welcome to borrow your items as long as they ask you first. If there are items that are off limits be sure to let your brother or sister know. Don’t get too angry with them if they forget to ask you the first time they borrow something. Nicely remind them about your rule. This is particularly relevant for older siblings, as it’s often younger siblings who want to hang out with the “big kids.” While it can be annoying to have your younger brother or sister around constantly, it’s also nice to include them from time to time. Set boundaries. Let them know when it’s acceptable to spend time with you and your friends. Be sure you’re only including them in age-appropriate activities. For example, if you’re watching a violent movie and have a much younger sibling, it would not be appropriate to include them. Older siblings, this is applicable to you as well. Just because you’re older, doesn’t mean your younger siblings don’t want to be included anymore! If you’re going on a girls trip, invite your younger sister to join. Though it may not seem as obvious as letting your brother borrow your car, sharing your wisdom and expertise is still sharing! In fact, giving your sibling advice, can often be the very best form of sharing. Regardless of your age, siblings are always in need of advice. Brothers and sisters can be our best collaborators, co-conspirators and role models, but can serve as a cautionary tale as well. The fact that they are older or younger doesn’t matter much either, as everyone has some piece of knowledge worth sharing! Don’t offer advice where it’s not wanted. Let your sibling know that if they ever need your advice, you’d be happy to share it with them. Otherwise, you shouldn’t butt in! Sharing a space with your brother or sister can be difficult. Do your best to be generous when it comes to your living arrangements. It's particularly important to be generous if your sibling is living with you for the first time. Maybe they've just moved into your room or apartment. Make them feel comfortable with a what's mine is yours mentality. If they want a particular side of the closet, let them have it. Learning to share your space and not get into petty fights is a great start to getting along with your sibling. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,760 | In the user manual, you'll find a variety of user/installation instructions, including voltage requirements. Reading the user manual will also give you the dimensions of the hole you'll need to cut in which to place your lights. Installing beautiful recessed lighting may be all the rage, but if your circuit is overloaded, what use will they be for you? If you are taking out old fixtures and installing new ones, you can safely add lights that draw as much amperage (or less) as the previous ones. If you want to add more, consult an electrician. For example, if you had 6 fixtures, each with 100 watt lights, your circuit can hold at least 600 watts before hitting capacity. It is a good idea to lock the circuit breaker panel while you work so that no one else can turn on the circuit. Never work with circuits that are energized. Use the manufacturer's template or make your own by cutting out a circle of paper. Place the template against the ceiling in the desired location and trace around it with a pencil, marking the center point as well. If you want to place your lights according to a straight pattern or in a straight line, consider buying or renting a laser level. This will allow you to plot out the holes for the recessed lighting extremely straight. There's nothing wrong with looking more professional. Use a stud sensor or other type of structure sensing device to locate any possible obstacles in the area where you're planning to install. If you have an attic or crawl space directly above the light fixtures, start by drilling a 1/4 inch (~6 mm) hole through the ceiling at the center point of each circle. Next, go into the attic and visually check for obstructions around each hole; you will need the light fixture to fit between the ceiling joists. If a finished area is above the ceiling, you can check for obstructions with a wire coat hanger. Bend a length of the coat hanger at 90 degrees about 3 inches (~8 cm) in. Insert the bent wire into each hole you drilled, rotating the bent portion around to check for obstructions. If the wire hits a joist, relocate your lighting fixtures accordingly.
Summary: | Read the installation instructions. If possible, consult an electrician to determine how much voltage your circuit can reliably carry. Shut off the power before beginning any work. Mark out the location of each light. Check for obstructions in the ceiling. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

” Depending on the response, you will know if the person is comfortable talking with you. If he wants to have a conversation, ask him questions that are basic to begin with such as, “Where are you travelling to today? How long are you staying?” If the conversation continues, you can ask more personal questions. As she shares more personal information, you can as well. This will increase the quality of the interaction. Ask questions such as, “What was it like growing up in southern California? Did you spend a lot of time at the beach or playing sports?” If you sense that he is tiring of the conversation simply say, “Well, it’s been great talking with you. I’ll let you get back to what you were doing.” You can tell if someone is tiring if they keep looking away, checking their watch, or just seem generally distracted or rushed. Conversations that occur on a date carry a bit more pressure than most conversations. The only way you will get to know someone is to have conversations about subjects including shared interests, values, ideals and education level. You want to find someone who is compatible with you and conversation will lead you there. Open conversations require you to be vulnerable. Keep your eye on the benefits involved in getting to know someone. This might help you remain open. You may want to date the person, do business with them, or ask them to be your mentor. Thank the person for being open and answering your questions. Start with simple questions and move toward deeper questions. You will definitely want to ask about where the person attended school before you ask about his relationship with his father. If you sense the person’s discomfort with certain subject matter, don’t continue in that direction. Choose a different topic. Signs that someone is uncomfortable may include: looking down, fidgeting, looking pale, clenched jaw or forced smile. Let the person know that you are listening by repeating back what they say in a different way, or at another point in the conversation. People like to be listened to and more importantly understood. For example, when someone is talking, keep your eyes focused on them and occasionally nod to show that you're engaged. Wait until they are done talking to make a comment like, "wow" or "yeah, I see what you mean." Perhaps ask a follow up question that directly relates to what they were saying. If you're on a date and the conversation flowed say, “I think things went well tonight, do you? I would like to do this again.” If they give a positive response, set a second date or at minimum tell her when you will call or text. Make sure you follow through on your stated intention. Everyone, regardless of age is happier when their lives are filled with deep and meaningful conversations. However, it helps to be aware of a person's age when conversing with them. Do not intimidate or invade a child’s personal space during a conversation. Ask simple questions and allow the child to respond. Children usually resist the harder questions that may have more social significance. If she doesn’t want to talk with you, then allow her to refrain. Speak in normal volume levels when talking with an elderly person, unless the person asks you to speak louder. Don’t assume every old person is hard of hearing. Saying, “Hello, how are you doing today?” will start any conversation. Learn as much as you can from older people. They have learned a lot in life and are likely to be happy to share it with you. Not every older person likes to be called sweetie or honey. Be kind and understand that you may be the only one the person talks to during any given day. A happy life includes meaningful conversation. You might be at a local meeting or at a national gathering of people you don’t know. Conversations are essential if you want to do business with someone, or someone is seeking you out. Break the ice with compliments such as, “That is a great tie,” or “Your watch is amazing,” or “Those shoes are spectacular.” Manage humor with caution. Everyone has a different sense of humor. Secure contact information to expand your mailing list. Humans have an innate tendency to find a way to relate to one another. Comfort is gained when you don't feel alone in a crowd. Conversation will lead you to find connections to explore. If you are at a wedding and sitting at a table with people you don’t know, you have options. You can sit there quietly eating your meal, or you can spark up a conversation to pass the time. Some people have actually met their future spouses at weddings. That wouldn’t happen without conversation. Ask the person or people around you how they know the bride or groom. Stick to safe subjects and avoid politics, religion and sexual content. You want to keep the discord to a minimum at least until they cut the cake. Talk about the food being served, and hope that it is good. If the conversation becomes bogged down, excuse yourself to use the restroom or go to another table where you might know someone. Weddings are usually held in beautiful places. Take advantage and find a beautiful place to take it all in. Perhaps the bar will be your destination. There might be times when you would like to end a conversation during a date, at the end of a meeting, or when you are exhausted. You have every right to end a conversation if you want or need to. Be kind and say, “I’m so happy you took the time to meet with me today. I think I’m going to get going.” A graceful exit is your goal.
Summary: | Strike up a conversation with a simple, “Hello, how are you? Use conversations to determine compatibility. Be open to answering questions. Be an active listener. Ask for a second date. Consider age differences when conversing with someone. Focus on networking for personal and business growth. Find common threads that link you to the person or people in the crowd.

Even if you are looking directly at the road as you drive, you can become mentally distracted, which will prevent you from reacting to obstacles that appear in front of you as you drive. If a passenger brings up a subject you feel strongly about, wait until you've parked the vehicle to discuss the topic. Difficult conversations can distract the driver from things that occur on the road. It can be difficult to pay attention when experiencing strong emotions. Before setting off on a journey of any length, make sure children are safely strapped and secured in car seats and any animals in the vehicle are safely placed where they cannot interfere with or distract your driving. If your dog is restless, put it inside the boot and have a barrier installed between the back seat and the boot ao that it cannot jump over. For extra security, put in in a cage; but ensure it has access to drinking water and gets to stretch it's legs once you stop the car. Have a rest break if embarking on a long journey, and take the dog a walk aswell. Small dogs and similar-sized pets should be kept off of the driver’s lap while driving to avoid distractions. Cage them so they don't jump around. Make sure all children are wearing their seat belts and unable to move freely within the vehicle to cause distractions. Children will often fuss if they do not have access to their usual snacks or toys during a car journey. If you have a passenger that may create a distraction, make sure they have everything they need prior to setting off on a trip. Keep snacks or toys within the reach of children so they don’t attempt to unbuckle their seat belts or leave car seats. If your vehicle is fitted with a child lock, use it so that the children can't open it from the inside. Reaching around the car to get snacks or pass things to a child can be extremely dangerous while driving. If there are several passengers, you can ensure that another passenger will cater to the needs of the children (eg. snacks, toys, cleaning up) so as to take the worry off the driver. If you are driving with other people in the vehicle, ask that they respect the fact that you would like to drive without distraction. This means passengers should remain in their seats, not move around the vehicle, not play loud music, and not try to gain your attention while you’re driving. Passengers should not attempt to distract you or gain your attention while driving; unless it is an emergency. Passengers should remain buckled up and seated while you drive. If something comes up that is unavoidable, such as an important telephone call or a discussion that requires the driver’s full attention, simply pull over to avoid allowing the distraction to become dangerous. Pulling over on the side of the road to take phone calls or engage in discussions is safer than doing so as you drive. Using a mobile phone behind the wheel is illegal in many jurisdictions/countries. You can get a hefty fine and/or a driving ban as a result of being caught. Use a hands-free kit or switch your phone off before driving to be extra safe. On many highways, there are rest stops specifically for the sake of phone calls or other things a driver may need to do whilst on the road.
Summary: | Avoid stressful or emotional conversations while driving. Make sure children and pets are secure. Keep snacks or toys where your passengers can access them. Ask passengers to respect that you’re driving. Pull over when you can’t avoid a distraction. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

First, unplug the power cord from the console so no electricity is running through it while you clean it. Then unhook the controllers from the console. Do the same with anything else that may be plugged into it so you have access to all of the console's ports. If you need to clean your console, then chances are that wherever you keep it also needs cleaning. Remove the console from there and place it somewhere clean and free of dust. Make the job easier by working on a surface that isn't going to get your console dirty all over again even while you clean it. Before you start blasting your expensive electronic device with compressed air, keep in mind that there's moisture inside that can. Always hold the can upright, since this lowers the risk of releasing that moisture. Also, hold the nozzle at least five or six inches (13 or 15 cm) away from what you're aiming at, since holding it closer will be less effective. Read the directions to your particular brand of compressed air for any additional advice or warnings. Start by firing short blasts along the indentation that runs around the middle of your console. Then move on to the ports located on its front and back. Finally, blast away as much dust as you can from the remaining surfaces, plus all of the vents. Be sure to use a clean, dry cloth to remove any lingering dust, since a wet one can end up harming your console. Wipe down all sides of the exterior to finish up. As you work on each side, always wipe in one continuous direction away the light sensor so none of it ends up in there. Also avoid wiping dust into any of the ports and ruining your work. Set the console aside and dust the area where you keep it. Depending on how much has accumulated and how much ends up in the air as you clean, give any airborne dust time to settle back down and repeat. Then set your console back in place.

Your hair doesn’t need to be freshly washed, but you don’t want it to be oily or flat. If you wash your hair before doing this style, add volumizer or a similar hair product as part of your styling process/while drying. If you do this, there is no need to add an additional volumizer to your hair later in the process. If possible, make sure that this has heat protectant properties. If not, you may want to add a few spritzes of heat protectant to your hair as well. Using a comb, mark out a straight side part and comb your hair so that it falls neatly on either side of the part. You may find it useful to fasten your bangs (or the front piece of your hair that will be styled to look a bit like bangs) on the larger side of your part to the side while you work on the rest of your hair. Starting at the side of your part that has less hair, wrap different-sized chunks of hair around the barrel of a 1.5-inch (38mm) curling wand. Pull the chunks of hair towards your face as you wrap them around the wand, and hold them there for 10 to 20 seconds. How long you should hold your hair on the wand will depend on the power of your wand and the type of hair you have. For example, if you have fine hair, it will take less time than if it’s thick. The chunks of hair should be more vertically thick (going from the top of your head to the bottom of it) than horizontally thick (going from one side of your head to the other), as you want long, soft, waves more than tight curls. If you are unsure of what size each chunk of hair should be, aim for between 2 and 3 inches thick. If you already have bangs, you needn’t do much beyond brushing them to the side and tucking them in so that they blend with your hair depending on their length. If they’re longer or if you don’t have bangs, pull the chunk of hair at the front of the large side of your part (i.e. where your bangs would be) up above your head and wrap it backwards, away from your face, around the curling wand. Wait for 10 to 20 seconds, then let it go. Move on to the rest of the hair on the large side of your part, continuing to pull the chunks of hair away from your face as you wrap them around the wand. Gently run your fingers through your hair in order to break the curls up and blend them into waves. You can also do this with a large-tooth comb. Spray your hair with texturizing spray and style it with your hands to get it into the shape you desire.
Summary: | Ensure that your hair is clean and dry. Add a volumizer or a similar hair product to your hair. Part your hair dramatically to one side. Curl your hair on the small side of your part. Style your bangs. Curl your hair on the large side of your part. Break up the curls. Texturize. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

up with vocal exercises before singing. You wouldn’t try running a marathon without stretching, so don’t sing without flexing your vocal cords. Start by sighing to gently stretch your vocal cords while also releasing physical and emotional tension. Sing different notes up and down your vocal range. Stop if you feel your vocal cords straining. Warming up your voice does protect your vocal cords, but it also gives you a chance to relax and gain confidence before singing. Try warming up with lip trills. Put your lips together and vibrate your lips like you’re humming. Practice this with different notes. Also try arpeggios, such as by singing the “Do Re Mi” tonal scale. You can also choose a sound like “Re” and sing it up and down your vocal range. This exercise is called a siren. Don’t forget to use your entire body! This means maintaining your posture and relaxing your jaw. The more you practice, the more comfortable you will feel singing! Make some time so you can listen to yourself sing. As you hear your own voice, you will likely start caring less if others hear it too. In addition, you get plenty of time to improve your vocal skills, which also leads to more confidence. Unfortunately, practice doesn't mean perfection. Remember to practice healthy singing, such as good posture and stopping when your vocal cords feel strained. You can sing when you’re doing daily tasks like work or cleaning. This can help make singing feel second nature to you. Love your voice because it is uniquely yours. If you don’t want to hear it, then don’t expect the audience to want to hear it either. Any doubt you feel towards your voice shows on your face and in your body language. You are unlikely to ever feel confident if you are busy doubting your voice. Many famous singers don’t make it on their voices alone. Artists like Bob Dylan, Ozzy Osbourne, Britney Spears, and Madonna aren’t technically gifted vocalists. No one is a “natural.” Success while singing comes from practice as well as confidence from personality, songwriting, and stage presence. The easiest way to get started singing is to learn more skills. A teacher can guide you and give you feedback along the way. Seek out a vocal teacher in your area. Let them cheer you on as you learn to control and master your voice. Select a voice teacher that is trained in the genre you wish to perform. Express any concerns you have with your teacher. Let them know that your confidence is an area you want to work on. Teachers can show you how to relax and also find songs that challenge your limits. Singing for a vocal teacher can help you gain confidence, but ask other people to listen to you sing too. This can be difficult, so find a setting that works for you. For instance, invite a few trusted friends or family members to listen to you at home. Not everyone feels comfortable singing in front of people they know. A karaoke bar or open mic night might be better for you. You could also record yourself singing and share it with your friends and family or post it on social media. Have fun while singing. You can ask for feedback, but focus on getting comfortable on stage so you gain confidence.

29,766 | Article: Lock eyes for a brief moment, then drop your gaze to the floor before slowly sweeping it back up again. This simple yet coy gesture says that even though you know it’s not polite to stare, he’s so alluring that you can’t help but take a second look. If you pull it off just right, there’s no way he won’t notice you noticing him. A look can be incredibly expressive—like the old saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Try to tell him how you feel about him through your eyes. Chances are, he’ll get the message. Avoid staring him down. Leering at someone straight on for too long can suggest that you’re indifferent towards him, or worse, that you find him off-putting. Whether you’re deep in conversation or just exchanging glances from across the room, your smile is your most effective tool for signaling attraction. A genuine smile indicates warmth and openness and makes you that much more inviting to be around. While smiling is essential for sparking romantic interest, you should only do it if it feels natural. Otherwise, it could make for some unintentionally awkward moments. Never underestimate the power of touch. Reaching out to get his attention or standing close enough to just brush up against him can be a great way to bridge the metaphorical distance between the two of you and suggest that you desire some sort of physical intimacy. Make it a point to take his hand or go for a hug when saying your greetings and goodbyes. Keep in mind that some forms of touch are more suggestive than others. For example, grasping his arm when he makes a joke is flirtatious but fairly safe. Placing your hand on his thigh, however, may send an entirely different message. Eliminating the literal distance between you will give him the sense that you want to get closer emotionally, as well. It also helps to shut out surrounding distractions, making you feel like the only two people in the room. To avoid freaking him out, make sure you move in gracefully and in a way that feels natural. One of the best times to get up close and personal is during conversation. Leaning in while he tells a story or discusses his personal life makes it clear that you’re hanging on his every word. By contrast, leaning back or moving away can be seen as a sign that you want to keep some space between you. Leg crossing is a bolder and more direct way of expressing your interest, and is perfect for when you want to turn the heat up a notch. Because of the subtle sexual implications of the gesture, it’s best to only break it out when you’re talking to a guy you really like. Drawing attention to your legs can be very seductive, especially when paired with other confident body language. Avoid hunching over, bouncing your knees, or displaying any other nervous tics. This could be seen as a sign that you’re uncomfortable, or make him feel like he has power over you. As you’re talking or making eye contact, run your fingers through your locks or brush a few stray strands out of your face, fixing your hair can convey a kind of excited nervousness, letting him know that he’s succeeded in getting under your skin. As a bonus, you can make sure your looks are on point before you go up to him and say hi. As with crossing your legs, there’s a right and wrong way to play with your hair. Doing it too much can scream “boredom” or make you seem more concerned with your appearance than with his presence. When you really want to make your feelings known, run the tip of your tongue over your lips to make them plump, juicy, and rosy red. Wetting your lips is a dead giveaway that you’ve got the hots for a certain someone. And if you are lucky enough to score a goodnight kiss, they’ll be primed and ready. Licking your lips at an opportune time is sure to plant the idea of kissing in his head. If you’re wearing a face full of makeup, be careful not to lick too often or too vigorously, or you could end up looking you just won a pie eating contest.

29,767 | Article: Diabetes affects the way that blood sugar (glucose) is processed in your body. An essential energy source, glucose is present in the bloodstream after digesting food. Insulin, normally produced by the pancreas, assists the glucose out of the blood and distributes it to the liver cells, muscles, and fat, where it is turned into usable energy for the body. Diabetes is identified as Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes: This condition involves destruction of more than 90 percent of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, causing the pancreas to cease making insulin or to make very little. Type 1 diabetes tends to occur prior to the age of 30 and it may involve environmental factors and genetic predisposition. Type 2 diabetes: While the pancreas continues to produce insulin, or even higher levels of insulin, the body develops a resistance to the insulin, causing the insulin to not be used properly for the body's needs and blood sugar levels remain consistently too high. While this type of diabetes can occur in children and adolescents, it usually begins in people over 30 and becomes more common as people age. Being overweight is a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes: This type of diabetes develops in some women during pregnancy. Left undiagnosed and/or untreated, serious side effects can injure the mother and affect the unborn child. Having gestational diabetes that resolves after delivery increases your chances of developing Type 2 Diabetes at some point of your life. Understanding how diabetes can disrupt your life can help motivate you to make the necessary lifestyle and diet changes to prevent the disease. Some of the complications from Type 2 Diabetes can be quite severe. Possible complications include: Lowered blood supply to the skin and nerves Fatty substances and blood clots clogging blood vessels (called Atherosclerosis) Heart failure, heart attack, or stroke Damage to the eyes, which may cause permanently poor vision Renal (kidney) failure Nerve damage (with numbness and pain and loss of function) Inflammation, infections and skin breakdown especially of the feet Angina (heart pain) Some of the factors that increase your risk for developing diabetes are within your control. Risk factors for diabetes that can be controlled with diet and lifestyle changes include: Obesity: Based on body mass index, a BMI over 29 increases your odds of diabetes to one in four. Losing weight can drastically reduce your odds of developing Type 2 Diabetes. A diagnosis of heart disease or high cholesterol: Cardiovascular risks include high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, and high LDL cholesterol, and a study showed that one in four people in Europe suffering from these risk factors were also pre-diabetics. Diet and exercise can both help reduce your risk of heart disease and high cholesterol. Eating a diet high in sugar, cholesterol, fat, and processed food: Diet is tied closely to diabetes. Focus on eating healthier foods. Irregular or no exercise: Exercising less than 3 times per week increases your risk for diabetes. Work on integrating physical activity into your daily life. There are some risk factors for developing Type 2 Diabetes that are not within your control. However, being aware of these factors can help you assess your overall risk for developing the disease. Risk factors include: Being older than age 45: Note that pre-menopausal women are probably helped by the levels of estrogen, which helps to clear away fatty acids that cause insulin resistance, and helps insulin absorb glucose more rapidly. Having a parent, sibling, or other family member who has or did have Type 2 diabetes: This can indicate a family gene predisposing you to diabetes. Being of Hispanic, African American, Native American, Asian, or Pacific Islander descent: These subgroups are at almost double the risk of white Americans. Experiencing gestational diabetes during pregnancy: Up to 40 percent of women who experienced gestational diabetes are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Being born with a low birth weight: A low birth weight increases your chances of developing diabetes by 23 percent for babies born under 5.5 pounds and by 76 percent for babies under 5 pounds. High blood sugar can be corrected before lasting damage sets in. If you have the risk factors associated with diabetes, it is important to get regular blood or urine screening tests and to respond by controlling your lifestyle factors. If tests reveal that you have pre-diabetes, you have an increased chance of being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in the future. Pre-diabetes is a part of metabolic syndrome which is "a group of risk factors -- high blood pressure, high blood sugar, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and abdominal fat." While such a diagnosis can be frightening, it's also an opportunity to take back your health and to slow, reverse, or avoid Type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes. Pre-diabetes exists where your blood glucose is higher than normal. It's a key indicator of metabolic breakdown taking place, which indicates a movement towards Type 2 Diabetes. Pre-diabetes is reversible, but left ignored, the American Diabetes Association warns that your odds for getting Type 2 diabetes within a decade are almost 100 percent. The CDC recommends that anyone aged 45 or over should be tested for diabetes especially if you're overweight., and people under 45 should be tested if they are overweight and have any other risk factor for diabetes. After 6 months of improving your diet and exercise habits, return for a test to see how your blood sugar levels have changed. Always keep monitoring with your doctor. Follow your doctor's advice. In rare cases, your doctor may recommend taking medication such as Metformin, to reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes. If you need help, consider speaking to a registered dietitian who can assist you with developing a meal plan.

Check to see if your shoes are suede before treating stains. If you find you have suede shoes, get a small scrub brush. A solution should be scrubbed on rather than dabbed on. Stuff the shoe immediately after you notice a salt stain. You want to begin the cleaning process as soon as possible. Stuffing your shoes with paper towel will help them retain their shape as you clean them. You can do this with any pairs of shoes, regardless of the material. An easy solution for cleaning salt stains can be made with white vinegar and water. Simply mix one part white vinegar to two parts water until you have an even mixture. You can also use a pre-made cleaning solution for shoes if you have one on hand. This can save you some time, but be sure to check the label. You want to be certain the solution is safe to use on the material of your shoes. Take a cloth and dip it in the solution. Wring it out until it's slightly damp. Remember, if you're cleaning suede shoes, use a brush. Get a brush slightly damp instead of a cloth. Begin gently scrubbing or brushing near the edge of the stain. As the stain begins to come out, move inward. You want to clean the edges first and then gradually move in. You want to work your way to the center and then scrub through to the other side of the stain. Do not use too much force. You do not want to damage the shoe by scraping off any material. Once you're done removing the stain, take a paper towel. Blot the area over the stain to remove any vinegar. Keep blotting until there is no longer vinegar visible on the stain. You may need to use more than one paper towel. Never attempt to dry shoes with a blow dryer or in the drying machine after washing them. Set them in a clean, dry space and let them air dry completely before wearing them again. Your shoes should air dry for at least 24 hours. If your boots are leather, buff on a leather cream after cleaning them. This is a cream you can buy online or at a department store. It's like lotion for dry skin. It keeps boots moisturized and prevents cracks and tears. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,769 | Write an article based on this "Call your boss or supervisor early the next morning. Make sure you sound sick. Be prepared for questions. End the conversation on a good note."
Article: | Don't delay––the sooner you tell your boss, the better. Additionally, you'll have a rather rough voice after waking up, giving you that added credibility. Plus, if you call early, you may be more likely to get your boss’s voicemail or to catch your boss when he’s off guard. If you call too late, then it’ll look like you didn’t really consider your boss’s feelings. Keep the conversation short. Though knowing your “illness” well can help you feel prepared, you should remember that stories are typically the embellishment told by liars. Don't get too detailed––just say that you're not feeling well and won't be coming in. Give just enough information for your boss to believe you, such as saying "I was up all night" or "I'm having awful stomach problems." You can also say something like, “I knew I should have said something at the end of the day yesterday, but I was hoping I would sleep this thing off.” Without being too obvious about it, make a point of showing how much you really hoped you would come to work. While you shouldn’t overdo it when you call your boss, it won’t hurt you to actually sound a little sick. In addition to having a hoarse voice from calling early in the morning, you can sniffle or cough very occasionally so your boss thinks you’re sick without having to overdo it. You can also talk a little more slowly or softly to show that you don’t have your full strength. Practice this act aloud so it sounds convincing. If you want to make your voice sound extra hoarse, you can scream into a pillow for ten seconds or so before you make the call. But this will hurt your throat, so make sure it’s worth it. You can also just try to sound a little bit out of it and disoriented. If you sound extra sharp and are super snappy to answer any question your boss has, you may not be very convincing as a sick person. Is your boss the nosy type? Try to imagine what kinds of questions he or she might have. For instance, if you work in food service, your boss might wonder how contagious you are. He or she might also ask if you've tried everything possible to make yourself feel well enough to come in. The best policy is to say that you think you're contagious, and that you've tried every remedy you can muster (painkillers, antacids, more liquids, etc.) but all to no avail. Casually mention you've called your doctor's office and are waiting to hear back on an appointment time as they're booked out. During peak cold and flu seasons, it may be several days before they could squeeze you in for an office visit. If your employer demands a note after you get back, you can always say your appointment isn't until later in the week. It gives you time to run to the doctor. When you get done talking to your boss, try to leave a positive impression as much as you can. Say that you’ll do your best to recover to come to work the next day and that you’re grateful that your boss can be so understanding. Show how committed you are to the job and how eager you are to return to your responsibilities without overdoing it. Make your boss feel like you’re truly sorry to take a day off instead of that you can’t wait to watch TV and ditch your job. You can even tell your boss to reach out with any questions if you think he’d really need your help. If you’re willing to be disturbed during your fake sick day, you can say, “I’ll be in bed all day, so give me a call if you need me…” But do this only if you think your boss will really be at a loss without you. End the conversation by thanking your boss for being so considerate. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,770 | People who thrive while living in solitude tend to be introverted and enjoy spending time on their own. If you find yourself feeling secure and happy when spending time alone, living in solitude might be a good choice for you. Keep in mind that you don’ have to be introverted to live in solitude. Being alone means you will have a lot of time to think about your life and yourself. Living in solitude will give you plenty of time to become introspective. Before deciding to live in solitude, take some time for self-reflection. You can try journaling or taking an art course. If you enjoy reflecting on your life and self, you might be well-suited to live in solitude. Living in solitude can be costly, especially if you intend to quit your day job. Sit down and create a budget for shelter, water, food, and other necessities. Make sure you save enough money to cover these expenses before heading into the wild. If you own a house or car, you will need to make sure you can afford payments and repairs while you live in solitude. If you have outstanding debts, like student loans or credit card debt, you will need to make sure you can pay them while living in solitude.

Pour your beans into a colander, and jiggle the colander under running water for one minute to wash residual dirt off your beans. You can sift through the beans with your fingers to help clean them. Soaking canned beans will make them mushy. Only soak dried beans. Pour your rinsed beans onto a baking sheet and sort through them with your fingers. Throw any bits of gravel or other debris in the trash. Leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) of space between your beans and the top. Add cool tap water 4 cups (946 ml) at a time to your rinsed beans. Keep adding the water until your beans are fully submerged by at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of liquid. For example, a 1-quart pot would leave plenty of room for ½ cup (100 g) of dried pinto beans. Pour the salt into the pot, and give the salted water a stir with a large spoon to help the salt dissolve. Finer salt will dissolve more easily than coarse salt. Use the same amount of salt no matter which salt you use. For a shortcut, soak your pinto beans overnight, so you can cook with them in the morning. Soaking allows the salt to fully penetrate and flavor your beans. Use a colander to strain your soaked beans. Discard the soaking water in the sink. Then, pour the pinto beans back into the pot you soaked them in. Cook your beans as desired over a medium heat on the stove top, using a 3:1 ratio of water to beans. If your recipe calls for salty ingredients such as broth or ham, season with less salt during cooking to prevent an overly salty dish. Achieving tender pinto beans typically takes 1-2 hours.
Summary: | Rinse dried pinto beans with cool tap water. Inspect your rinsed beans for any impurities. Pour your sorted pinto beans into a large, clean pot. Add 1 Tbsp of salt (17 g) for every 4 cups (946 ml) of water. Soak your beans for at least 6-8 hours. Rinse your beans with cool water before cooking. Add a pinch of salt to your beans for cooking. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

When you go to a dealer for a new car, chances are your salesman will try to find you a loan using his system. However, you might be able to get a loan from your bank at a better interest rate. If you bank at a credit union, your odds are higher of getting a loan because these institutions are smaller and more willing to work with you personally. You may also be able to get a loan with a credit union even if you don’t bank there. Consider the website Peer to Peer, where you can get a loan from an individual instead of an institution. Consider borrowing money from a relative. Find someone who has good credit amongst your friends and family to co-sign on your car loan. This will boost a lender’s confidence in the loan. Make sure it is someone who trusts you, because the record of this loan goes on both your credit reports. If you ever default on this loan, the lender will look to the co-signer for payment, making your relationship very uncomfortable. If you are offered a loan, make sure it has a low enough interest rate to keep your monthly payments low. For example, someone with a mid-range credit score (620-680) is looking at an interest rate of between 5 and 6%. A credit score lower than that is looking at an interest rate anywhere from 6.5 to 13%. Although monthly payments might be higher, getting a loan for a shorter amount of time means paying less interest in the long run. If you can handle it financially, try to get a loan for four years or less. Some lenders and car lots will give you discounts based on things you have done and memberships you have. If you qualify for a discount of any kind, bring the paperwork for it. Some places (both dealerships and lenders) will offer discounts for being a student, a recent graduate, being in the military, or being a first-time buyer. All of these discounts tend to come with strict requirements. For example, the first-time buyer discount may require 10% down, references, a steady job, and car insurance. You may be able to get a lower monthly payment if you lease instead of buy. If you are jobless when you start the car search and no lenders will take you, consider pausing the search until you have worked steadily for several months. This will build your reputation as a responsible citizen. Be sure to bring in proof of employment when you resume the search. Also consider doing things to boost your credit while you wait, such as getting a credit card. Ultimately, the easiest way to buy a car without any credit is to pay cash for the entire vehicle. This practice is wise because it keeps you from going into debt and defaulting on loans, but it is also risky because it means you will continue to have an empty credit history. Car dealers who receive $10,000 or more in cash are required to report the transaction and its specifics to the IRS.
Summary: | Find loans on your own. Seek out a co-signer. Make sure your loan has a low APR. Try to get a loan with a shorter term. Look into getting discounts. Revisit the loan in a few months. Pay cash in full. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

Pick your rabbit up carefully, and hold it tightly so that it cannot thrash around. Restrain the rabbit by wrapping it snugly in a towel, like a burrito. Leave only the head exposed. A struggling rabbit is difficult to handle, it could even break its back. Rabbits are very social creatures. You should have few issues with handling your bunny as long as you spend quality time bonding with it. This will help prevent the irritation and potential infection of your rabbit's eyes. Use moist cotton balls to gently clean the area around the eye. If your rabbit has a heavy amount of fur around its eyes, try using a mascara brush or a small flea comb to comb back the fur from the eye. Never directly touch the rabbit's eye. This can cause more harm than good. If there is something in the rabbit's eye, take it to a veterinarian or look for a rabbit-approved eye wash solution. You may be able to wash the surface of the eye with focused water drops from an eye-dropper. Rabbits need their claws trimmed every 4-6 weeks. The claws are like fingernails, and never stop growing. Most indoor rabbits won't wear their claws down enough, so they need to be clipped before they grow out of hand. Hold your bunny on its back like you would cradle a baby, then gently clip its nails. Be cautious not to cut too far, as this will cause immense pain and bleeding in the rabbit. You can buy a special rabbit nail clipper to make this process easier, or you can (very carefully) wield a standard human nail clipper. Try to make it a good experience with treats so your rabbit will be more comfortable with you handling its feet. Make sure to only trim the white part of the nails. Leave the pink roots (the blood vessels) alone! It helps to shine a light from underneath the claw so you can ensure that you don't clip the blood vessel. If you clip the blood vessel apply styptic powder or flour to help clot the bleeding. Apply pressure for about a minute. If your long-haired rabbit that keeps developing hairballs and matted fur, try cutting the fur down to an inch or so. You can use scissors or a pair of standard trimming shears. This way, the rabbit won't get cold, but it will be much less likely to develop loose hair. Do not trim the fur all the way to the skin. Fur offers natural protection against heat, cold, and anything that may injure the rabbit. If your rabbit seems to be scratching itself more than normal, try splaying its fur to check for fleas. If you do notice any fleas, run through the rabbit's fur with a flea comb to remove them. You may need to take more drastic measures like a spray or a flea collar.

29,774 | What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
The first step to writing a successful compare and contrast essay is to pick two subjects that are different enough to be compared. There are several things to consider when choosing your subjects: You could pick two subjects that are in the same “category” but have differences that are significant in some way. For example, you could choose “homemade pizza vs. frozen grocery store pizza.” You could pick two subjects that don’t appear to have anything in common but that have a surprising similarity. For example, you could choose to compare bats and whales. (One is tiny and flies, and the other is huge and swims, but they both use sonar to hunt.) You could pick two subjects that might appear to be the same but are actually different. For example, you could choose "The Hunger Games movie vs. the book." “Meaningful” comparisons and contrasts do more than simply point out that “Topic A and Topic B are both similar and different.” A good compare and contrast essay will help your readers understand why it’s useful or interesting to put these two subjects together. For example, ask yourself: What can we learn by thinking about “The Hunger Games” and “Battle Royale” together that we would miss out on if we thought about them separately? It can be helpful to consider the “So what?” question when deciding whether your subjects have meaningful comparisons and contrasts to be made. If you say “The Hunger Games and Battle Royale are both similar and different,” and your friend asked you “So what?” what would your answer be? In other words, why bother putting these two things together? You probably won’t be able to jump straight from deciding on your topic to having a thesis, and that’s okay. Take a little time to brainstorm about how your chosen subjects are similar and different. This will help you see which points are the major ones you want to focus on, and can help guide you when you formulate your thesis. A “Venn diagram” can often be helpful when brainstorming. This set of overlapping circles can help you visualize where your subjects are similar and where they differ. In the outer edges of the circle, you write what is different; in the overlapping middle area, you write what’s similar. You can also just draw out a list of all of the qualities or characteristics of each subject. Once you’ve done that, start looking through the list for traits that both subjects share. Major points of difference are also good to note. You won’t be able to provide a list of every single way in which your subjects are similar and/or different in your essay. (And that’s not the goal, anyway.) Instead, choose a few points that seem to be particularly important. For example, if you are comparing and contrasting cats and dogs, you might notice that both are common household pets, fairly easy to adopt, and don’t usually have many special care needs. These are points of comparison (ways they are similar). You might also note that cats are usually more independent than dogs, that dogs may not provoke allergies as much as cats do, and that cats don’t get as big as many dogs do. These are points of contrast (ways they are different). These points of contrast can often be good places to start thinking about your thesis, or argument. Do these differences make one animal a superior type of pet? Or a better pet choice for a specific living situation (e.g., an apartment, a farm, etc.)? There are many directions a compare-and-contrast thesis can take, but it should always make an argument that explains why it’s useful to put these two subjects together in the first place. For example: Show readers why one subject is more desirable than the other. Example: "Cats are better pets than dogs because they require less maintenance, are more independent, and are more adaptable." Help readers make a meaningful comparison between two subjects. Example: "New York City and San Francisco are both great cities for young professionals, but they differ in terms of their job opportunities, social environment, and living conditions." Show readers how two subjects are similar and different. Example: "While both The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird explore the themes of loss of innocence and the deep bond between siblings, To Kill a Mockingbird is more concerned with racism while The Catcher in the Rye focuses on the prejudices of class." In middle school and high school, the standard format for essays is often the “5-paragraph form,” with an introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion. If your teacher recommends this form, go for it. However, you should be aware that especially in college, teachers and professors tend to want students to break out of this limited mode. Don’t get so locked into having “three main points” that you forget to fully explore your topic.

29,775 | In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:
"Extra virgin" coconut oil is best, but any oil without added fragrances, flavorings, or colorings will do. Coconut oil is especially good for damaged hair because its fatty acid composition penetrates the hair shaft much more efficiently than most other oils. It's also an excellent treatment for dandruff and dry, itchy scalp and is a natural anti-fungal agent. If you can afford it, raw organic coconut oil is the most effective oil to use on hair. Like raw honey, raw coconut oil may solidify in the jar; if so, microwave it for 10-20 seconds until liquified. Because this mask is so lightweight, it's perfect for fine or thin hair. Stir these oils together in a resealable glass jar. If you have short hair, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil should be plenty, but adjust the quantities as necessary according to your hair's length and thickness. Using your hands, massage the oil through your hair. Focus on the ends, as these tend to be the driest and most damaged. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. If you have long hair, put it in a ponytail or loose bun, then wrap with a shower cap, plastic wrap, or grocery bag. Leaving the coconut oil mixture in your hair overnight gives it plenty of time to penetrate even the most damaged hair shafts. In the morning, rinse out with warm water. Follow with a gentle shampoo and conditioner.

29,776 | Article: Even if you feel comfortable with physical affection or physical demonstrations of familiarity, do not assume that the people around you feel the same way. Even in informal situations, stick to a simple bow and maintain a healthy distance. This is particularly important as people of different sex and gender identifications as it maybe be considered inappropriate and impolite to exchange physical contact in public, not because of queer identification, however, because traditionally on a binary system individual of different sex/gender identification do not engage in excessive physical contact. In more informal situations, you can make eye contact, but do not hold it for an extended period of time. Instead, allow your gaze to linger for a matter of seconds before moving to another focal point. Follow the lead of the person with whom you are associating. If they do not initiate eye contact, you should follow suit. Even in informal situations, you should offer a bow as a form of greeting. The depth of your bow will determine how much reverence or respect you are offering, so a small bow from the waist or a gentle dip of the head will suffice for an informal setting. If you do not know the people to whom you are bowing, engage in a more pronounced bow and reserve gentle nods for acquaintances or known colleagues. In an informal setting, feel free to offer up a handshake, but do not be too firm or aggressive. Instead, keep your hand loose. Handshakes are also not held as long in Japan as they might be in Europe or the United States. Rather than holding a firm handshake for ten seconds or more, grasp hands for a maximum of five seconds before letting go. Large displays of emotion are not common in Japanese culture, so don’t be surprised if you do not encounter a lot of friendly smiling. If you are familiar with someone, however, don’t feel you have to shy away from smiling or grinning.

29,777 | Article: Though it’s a classic style, there are plenty of ways to freshen up a ponytail and make it look older for middle school. Wear a high ponytail. This looks especially great if you have medium-length hair. After you put your ponytail in place and secure it with elastic, pull on the top and bottom of the ponytail right beside the band. This will add volume to your hair. This look is also great for athletes and cheerleaders because it looks cute but keeps your hair out of your way. Wear a low side ponytail. If you want to add an extra touch to your side pony, form a part in your hair just above the hairband that’s holding your ponytail. Take the end of your ponytail, and thread it through the hole you made. This will create a kind of twist above your hairband. For a fancier ponytail, wrap a strand of your hair around your hairband to cover it. Tuck it back into the hairband, or secure it with a bobby pin, if you need to. Let your hair draw attention to your face. If you have bangs or layers, let some of your hair hang loose around your face to soften your look. If you don’t have bangs, try wearing a cute headband or headscarf with your ponytail. Like the ponytail, a bun is a great go-to hairstyle that you can dress up or down for school or special occasions. Buns are easier to make if you haven’t washed your hair for a day or two. If you just washed your hair, however, work in some texturizing hairspray for more hold. A ballet bun creates a sleek, pulled together look. To create a ballet-style bun, first put your hair in a tight ponytail. Use a brush or a comb to make your hair lay flat and smooth. Grab the end of your ponytail and begin to twist it into a tight rope. Then, twist your rope of hair around the elastic of your ponytail. Starting with the base of your ponytail, begin to bobby pin your hair rope as you twist is around your hairband. Make sure to bobby pin the end of your ponytail, as well. When you are done, spray your bun with hairspray. If you want, you can add a scrunchy around your bun to make it more fun. Ballet buns are great for events like formal dances or for a performance, if you are in an organization like choir or band. A messy bun is a popular go-to hairstyle on lazier days. To get the look, just pull all your hair into a high ponytail. Don’t worry about making sure your hair is smooth. Then, twist your hair into a rope and circle it around the base of your ponytail. Secure it with another elastic. Pull at the bun so that it’s loose and some pieces stick out. Use a few bobby pins to hide the elastic and secure your bun in place. Pull out some strands of hair to frame your face. Once you get the hang of it, a French braid is a quick style that looks sophisticated and cool. Before you begin to braid your hair, make sure you comb it well and get out any tangles. Keep a hairband on your wrist. With your thumb and forefinger, create an approximately two-inch section of your hair on the very top of your head. Divide this into three sections and hold them between your fingers. Begin braiding like a simple braid. Start by crossing the right strand on top of the middle strand so that it becomes the middle. Then, cross the left strand over the new middle. After you complete this once, add another small section of hair to the right strand. Use your left hand to hold the braid and your right to add the new hair. Now cross it over the middle like before. Before you cross the left strand over, add in a new piece of hair from the left side of your hand. Move the braid to your right hand, and add the new hair with your left index finger. Continue this process until you reach the nape of your neck. Then, you can finish just like a normal braid, and secure it with a hairband. After you’ve finished your braid, try pulling at it a bit to loosen it up. This will keep it casual and pretty. French braids a great alternative to simple braids that will make you look older than an elementary school kid. They are also good for athletes who want to wear a style other than a ponytail. A Dutch braid is an inverted French braid and has a bolder, more three-dimensional look. Section off two inches of hair on the top of your head. Divide this into three sections and hold them between your fingers. Begin braiding like a simple three-strand braid. Start by crossing the right strand underneath the middle strand so that it becomes the middle. Then, cross the left strand under the new middle. After you complete this once, add another small section of hair to the right strand. Use your left hand to hold the braid and your right to add the new hair. Now cross it under the middle like before. Before you cross the left strand under, add in a new piece of hair from the left side of your hand. Move the braid to your right hand, and add the new hair with your left index finger. Continue this process until you reach the nape of your neck. Then, you can finish just like a normal braid, and secure it with a hairband. A Dutch braid is exactly like a French braid, except you cross all the strands of hair under each other, rather than over. Braids are great hairstyles because they’ll stay in place and look great all day through school and any of your extracurricular activities. You can even sleep in your braid and wear it two days in a row. For this look, section off the top part of your hair above your ears, and secure it in a ponytail. Leave the bottom layer down and flowy. If you want, you can use a barrette of your choosing to secure your half ponytail instead of a hairband. Like you might in a ponytail, try wrapping a piece of your hair around the hairband for a more sleek look. Pull some shorter strands of hair down around your face to frame it so that the style doesn’t look harsh. This is a pretty style that you can wear every day or to events like middle school dances.

Check your credit score. Apply with lenders to refinance your loan. Compare offers from different lenders. Sign the contract for your new loan.
Article: | You may be able to refinance a bad car loan and get a lower monthly payment and better interest rate if your credit score has improved since you initially financed your car. Generally, you need a credit score above 640 to qualify for refinancing. If you notice any errors on your credit report, contact the credit bureaus to get them corrected before you apply to refinance your car loan.You want the highest and most accurate score you can possibly have. Set aside time to complete applications with several lenders to refinance your car. You'll need to provide basic personal information to establish your identity and income, as well as information about your car and your current loan. Use free online services, such as Credit Karma or Nerd Wallet, to find lenders more likely to approve your application based on your credit history. Apply to at least 2 or 3 lenders so you can compare rates. Each application you submit will result in a hard inquiry on your credit report. However, multiple inquiries for the same purpose typically won't impact your score significantly. Provided you meet the minimum requirements, you'll likely have 2 or 3 offers to refinance your car. Rather than immediately going with the first offer, take the time to compare so you can find the best offer for you. If you're interested in saving money overall, you generally want to go with the lowest interest rate – even if the monthly payments are higher than what you're paying now. However, make sure the additional amount will fit into your budget. If your current monthly payment is too much of a strain on your budget, look for a loan that has the lowest monthly payment. This may entail extending the term of your loan relative to the original, or paying a slightly higher interest rate. Once you've chosen the offer you want, the new lender will have paperwork for you to sign so the new loan will go into effect. The lender will connect with your original lender to pay off your original loan. You may need to contact your original lender to let them know in advance that you are refinancing your loan with a different lender. Find out from the refinancing lender what you'll need to do before you sign the paperwork. Get a copy of the signed loan agreement for your records. Keep it with your sales contract and other car documents so you can easily access it when necessary. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

Article: | An infestation of worms, such as tapeworms, can cause your cat to vomit. By deworming your cat, you will be able to either stop the vomiting from occurring, or at least rule out this as a cause. Deworm your cat more often — once a month at minimum — if they are allowed to hunt. If your cat is behind on their deworming, get them up to date. There are many dewormers available to purchase. Different products have different spectrums of effectiveness, thus deworming your cat is not a guarantee all the worms are gone. On occasions it is necessary for your vet to analyze a fecal specimen to identify any worms that have survived treatment. Use, selamectin (Revolution), for roundworms. Use, milbemycin (Interceptor), to remove many types of worms. Many cats have allergies, particularly to proteins. Your cat may have an intolerance to a component of their diet. Identify and remove any allergens from the cat's diet. Ask your vet about hypoallergenic diets. Use a hypoallergenic diet for at least eight weeks, to ensure the allergen has passed. Slowly introduce new foods, one at a time, and check for any that trigger vomiting. Some cats will vomit almost immediately after eating the allergen, but others may take hours to vomit. Generally, when the allergen reaches the stomach, irritation occurs, which results in vomiting. Cats are very sensitive to medications and many medications have the side-effect of causing vomiting. Take note of any medications you may have given your cat and see if they might be responsible for the vomiting. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you more about complications from medication. If a medication is the cause of the vomiting, ask your veterinarian for alternative. Cats are extremely sensitive to medications, home remedies should not be administered. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,780 | Place a framing square near the end of a 2 x 12 (38 x 286 mm) board, leaving a few inches at the end before the end of the square. Use the individual rise and run figures marked on the outside scales of the square that matches your desired measurements. These figures should touch the upper edge of your board. The short end of the square (tongue) should be on the rise measurement. The long end of the square (body) should be on the run measurement. The board should be at least 12 inches (30.48cm) longer than the planned length of the stringer, just to give yourself some play. Move the square down to extend the run line to the lower board edge, if necessary. This is the outline of your top stair. Slide the framing square along the board so your scale run figure touches the end of your first marked run line. Double check that your rise and run figures are lines up with the top edge of the board and then mark your second stair. Continue down the board, making sure to line up the scale's rise and run figure at the top edge. Mark the new outline and repeat until you have marked 1 extra pair of runs and rises. In order to make the first step the same height as the others, you need to subtract the depth of the thread from the rise, so the finished stair is still 7 inches (18 cm). Simply make another mark to the right of the run line that is parallel and equal to the thickness of the thread. This marks the stringer bottom.
Summary: | Start laying out the first stair. Mark the outline along the square's outer edges. Lay out the rest of the stairs. Mark the bottom of the stringer. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

If you plan to take the supplement with food, calcium carbonate requires food to properly digest and absorb. Calcium citrate can be taken without food. Some supplements contain both, so as with any supplement, always read the label. As with all supplements, calcium supplements are not regulated by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for content or potency. Look for a third party verification, such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Always talk to your doctor before adding any supplements to your diet. Your doctor can help you decide what dosage you need based on your diet. The recommended amount of calcium per day for an adult is 1,000 milligrams, but everyone is different. Calculate how much calcium you receive from food and use supplements to add to that. Women over the age of 50 need 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day. Vitamin D goes hand-in-hand with calcium absorption. Without vitamin D, your body will only absorb 15-20% of the calcium you consume. Limited sun exposure, approximately 15 minutes, will provide your body with ample vitamin D. The amount of time you expose yourself to the sun is important as burning your skin doesn't allow you to get the proper benefit from the sun. Wear sunscreen to help you avoid burning.
Summary: | Research different types of supplement. Take the correct dosage for your needs. Increase your vitamin D intake. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about stretches that can ease your back pain. Before and after each game, perform these stretches or others that target your back muscles. Doing these can ease your pain, prevent further injury, and loosen your back muscles. Not every stretch will work for every body or be optimal for certain types of back pain, but consider the following stretches: Stretch the shoulder by holding a golf club behind your neck and shoulders. Grasp both ends of the club with your hands and rotate your torso gently from side to side from your hips for 10-20 reps. Stretch the hips by lying down on the floor and pulling one knee to your chest. Return the leg to the floor and repeat with the opposite knee. Perform 10-20 reps. Stretch the hamstrings by bending over touching your toes. If you can’t reach the floor, simply allow your body to hang over your legs for 10-30 seconds. Use an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables on you back 30-60 minutes before you play golf. Keep it on your back for 20 minutes and then remove it. Icing your back before a golf game can reduce swelling and inflammation that cause pain. This may allow you to fully enjoy your game with less or even no pain. Use a towel between the ice pack and your skin to help prevent frostbite. Freeze a foam cup full of water and gently massage it into your back for 20 minutes. If your skin gets too cold or numb, remove the ice. Pop an over-the-counter pain medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to relieve your back pain and discomfort. Some, such as naproxen sodium and ibuprofen, may even ease swelling and inflammation in your back. Following dosing instructions to keep you comfortable during your entire golf gain. Take any of the following pain meds to relieve back pain: Aspirin Ibuprofen Naproxen sodium Acetaminophen Avoid pushing yourself too much during your golf game. Play as many holes as you are comfortable and take frequent breaks. Pay attention to signs of severe pain and stop your game to prevent further discomfort or injury.

If your baby is like most babies and tends to be lulled to sleep with motion, then they will doze on and off during any journey. Of course, if you have travelled during the day, this excessive sleep can affect their ability to settle down and sleep at night, once you have reached your destination. Settling can be further affected by the fact that the sleeping environment will be different to home. There are two possible solutions to this challenge: Travel during the night.

Once the addendum has been drafted, send it to the other party. Let them review it for accuracy and completeness. Before the addendum is signed, both parties need to understand what they are agreeing to. If the other party has any questions or concerns about the addendum, negotiate an acceptable agreement and re-draft the addendum as necessary. To demonstrate both parties' assent to the addendum and its terms, you and the other party need to sign the agreement in order to execute it. Sign the agreement in the appropriate location in the signature block and date it. However, in some leases, the original document might define who needs to sign the agreement. For example, maybe only the landlord needs to sign the addendum or vice versa. If required, or agreed to, you can get the signatures notarized, which will help prove that each party did in fact sign the agreement. A notary is a licensed professional who will witness each party sign the agreement. At the end, the notary will put their stamp of approval on the document saying they swear they saw each party sign it. Once the addendum has been executed, it should be attached to the original lease. You can make copies for your records as well.

Addicts with support are much more likely to succeed in getting sober. Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are available in most cities and many small towns, offering daily meetings and a stylized series of steps that works for a lot of people. Find a meeting in your area and check it out. AA and NA aren't for everyone. If the thought of listening to a bunch of addicts talk about using sounds like it would drive you crazy, it's still a good idea to check it out for yourself and see what, if anything, you'll be able to take from it. What drove you to use in the first place? Circumstances? Stress? There doesn't have to be a good reason, or one reason, but it's important to identify the situations that might make you use again Were you a fan of the after work drink? Find something else to do with that after-work time, to celebrate the end of the day. Schedule some exercise, or some time with a sober friend, doing a sober activity. It might be necessary to sever ties with some of your friends, and find a new support group to rely on, if they won't be able to accept and support your sobriety. Make sober friends, doing new activities. If you're a drinker and a smoker, or abuse multiple drugs at the same time, it's usually recommended that you address each of these addictions separately, at a separate time. It may not be necessary for you to quit everything to consider yourself sober, but either way it's good to take it one step at a time. Focus on what you've quit now, and don't overwhelm yourself with other things. Most detox facilities and AA meetings are cigarette friendly. If you want to quit, quit later, especially if you feel like it offers you a good crutch in the short term. It's a crutch that's deadly, of course, but it's a fight for another day. Eventually, it's good to decide how far you want to take this sobriety thing. What does "sober" mean to you? Are you sober if you quit heroin but keep smoking pot? Are you sober if you quit drinking, but still smoke cigarettes? Do you have to be totally straight edge to consider yourself sober? Sobriety will be different for every addict. Getting sober is fighting a good fight, and you deserve to reward yourself for trying it and succeeding. Many addicts find it helpful to start a sober jar, into which you can put the money you'd usually spend on drugs or alcohol, every time you feel like buying it, then using that money to do something else. Buy a guitar. Go on vacation. Treat yourself for successes, little and big. Often, addicts use their drug or drink of choice as a reward, so this is a helpful replacement method, with a high success rate. Many former addicts fear having the sober talk. Telling your friends and family that you're not using any more may seem triumphant, but it can also be fraught with complication, awkwardness, and hurt feelings. AA and other sobriety groups can help to guide you through this process, but the decision is still up to you. All you need is one person. Find someone you'll be able to open up to and talk honestly about your addiction, and your struggles, but also abut regular things, too. Just getting through a regular Wednesday is one of the toughest parts of sobriety, and other addicts are experienced at it. They can help. Don't try to explain your quitting to everyone. Why you quit using is your business. If you want to discuss it with other people because you're proud and because it help you to stay sober, then do it. If it makes you uncomfortable, keep it to yourself. One of the hardest things about quitting is imagining your whole life ahead of you without ever being able to use again. Never another beer? Never another smoke? That's not the way to think about it, and trying to "never use again" is guaranteed to drive a lot of people back to using. Instead, focus on getting through each day. Keep track of your sobriety. Count up the days. Don't focus on tomorrow, just focus on getting through today. Face tomorrow when it comes.
Summary: | Find a support group. Avoid the situations that might encourage you to use. Don't try to quit everything at once. Put a reward system in place. Decide how you'll talk about your sobriety. Take it a day at a time. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

Bring the needle through a space on the right (front) side of the canvas that is diagonally-adjacent to the stitch on the right side. Then, repeat the same stitch to create a stitch alongside your first stitch. Work from left to right in a row across the canvas, and then work the stitch back along the row in the opposite direction. As you sew the second row, the second diagonal stitch should go through a space that already has thread going through it. This will help to reduce the visible canvas behind the thread. Insert the needle into the space where you want to begin working the continental stitch. Then, bring the needle up diagonally and down through the stitch adjacent and to the right of that stitch. Then, come up through the next space in the row beside where you started the stitch. Continue to work across the row going from right to left. Then, work back along the next row going from left to right. Make sure to insert the needle through spaces that already have 1 stitch in them on your second row. Work this stitch diagonally starting at the top right hand corner of the area. Bring the needle down through the space that is diagonal to this space. Then, bring the needle back up through the space that is diagonally adjacent to this stitch, and repeat the stitch. This stitch creates a pyramid like stitch design. It allows good coverage of the canvas with the least distortion and should be used in large areas. Insert your needle through the canvas where you want to begin the stitch.

Give post-hardcore a listen. Try out thugcore or "toughguy hardcore. Explore metalcore. Keep an open mind.
Article: | Bands like Shellac, Glassjaw, and At The Drive-In cross lines between metal, hardcore, and noise music, often incorporating extremely harsh sounds and extremely fast technical playing into the sound with sudden pretty moments of melody. In the mid-2000s, this style of music became extremely popularized with bands like My Chemical Romance, Thursday, and Thrice breaking into the mainstream. Sometimes this kind of music is also known as screamo and will even have someone in the band specifically known as the "screamer." Often, the look was accompanied by v-neck black shirts, tight jeans, gauges, and the famous swooped bangs haircut. " The hardcore thug look is related to bands like Madball, Skarhead, and E-Town Concrete, bands that incorporate elements of gangster style and culture into their music. The music is often positive, despite its tough-looking image. Madball writes inspirational lyrics. Sometimes, this is referred to as "posicore." If you're into that style, bands of the genre include Youth of Today, Bane, Comeback Kid, Verse, and pretty much any band on Bridge Nine or Rivalry Records. Camouflage shorts are very popular in that genre, also. Long work shirts or tank tops paired with a pair of baggy jeans, and some Nike Cortez's (Chuck Taylors, basketball shoes, or black low-top Vans) along with a fitted New Era cap with the sticker on. Band shirts work as well, but only for local indie or underground bands. By incorporating the breakbeats and abrupt changes from hardcore music, some bands with a more metal sound and style are now referred to as "metalcore." Deathcore and grindcore bands are also similar, with subtle differences in the sound. Stylistically, the look is similar to tough guy hardcore style. While some of the imagery in the videos of these bands looks very gothic or metal-like, the members of the bands themselves dress in pretty standard hardcore style. Often, talking about various kinds of hardcore music will make hardcore fans say "That's not real hardcore," but it can be difficult to know what "real hardcore" even is. Avoid these kinds of arguments. Hardcore fans are defensive about their culture and want to preserve it against outside influences. Learn about the history of the genre and the culture and you'll be safe. At least give new hardcore styles a listen before deciding what you think. New and strangely popular subgenres like crunkcore and electronicore mesh hardcore sounds with EDM and pop-rap culture and are especially controversial, sometimes seen as marketing schemes more than actual music.

Article: | Use a measuring tape to determine the width of your aluminum. Afterwards, select an appropriate sized chisel. Common sizes are 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm), 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm), 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm), and 1 inch (2.5 cm). For example, if your aluminum piece is 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) wide, use a chisel that is 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) wide. to a 60- to 70-degree bevel using a honing guide. Fit your chisel into your honing guide (a tool that clamps onto your tool either from the sides or from above and below) and tighten the screws on both sides to keep it in place. Set the guide to the appropriate angle, and then place the bevel (the metal edge of your chisel) against a second-cut, medium-coarse file. Hold the guide with both hands and move the chisel back and forth in a thin, figure-eight pattern. Once you notice scratches on your chisel's bevel, switch to a medium grit. When new scratches begin to appear, switch to a fine grit. Wipe the bevel between each grit using a dry, clean cloth. Position the piece in the center of the vice's jaws. Make sure that it's tightened firmly in place. Be sure to use a heavy-duty model bench vice. Hold the chisel tip against the metal—perpendicular to it—with your non-dominant hand. Use a ball-peen hammer to strike the chisel's handle and always cut perpendicular to the jaws of the vice. Continue striking the metal until there is a notch in it. At this point, you should easily be able to snap it into 2 pieces with your hands. You should be able to cut your aluminum metal piece within 30 seconds. Anything longer and you're probably using the wrong sized chisel, or you need to use a saw. Add 1 drop of 30-weight machine oil to the chisel's edge for lubrication. This makes it easier for your chisel to get into your aluminum's hardened grains of metal. Never use a claw hammer—the heads are not designed for hitting hard metal and are prone to chipping. If you're cutting a line in a sheet of aluminum, you can skip the vice and cut your way down the sheet on a flat surface. Use wood as a backing piece to help push the chisel through the metal and prevent the chisel's tip from wearing. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,790 | You need sports tape to tape your foot using this method. You can get rolls of sports tape at superstores, supermarkets, or drugstores. A roll of zinc oxide tape should last for three to five tapings. Make sure that when you apply the tape that you keep all wrinkles out of the tape. This can cause blisters or other irritation. Tape should be wrapped lightly. You don't want the tape to be too tight on your foot. Before you tape your foot, make sure you wash your foot with non-moisturizing soap. This helps the tape stick to your foot when applied. Make sure your foot is completely dry before starting. To start the taping process, tape a piece of tape around the ball of your foot. This is the area just behind your toes on your foot. Make sure your foot is relaxed during the taping. Wrap the tape all the way around so it's on the top and bottom of your foot. Next, wrap a piece of tape around the back of your ankle. The tape should run around the ankle and down both sides of your foot until it meets the tape around the ball of your foot. Stick the two sections of tape together. This should not be tight. The tape should be loose on your feet, and you should complete this step while your foot is relaxed. Smooth any wrinkles out of the tape as you go to prevent blisters. Stick one end of the tape on your foot just below your big toe. Then tape diagonally across the bottom of your foot. Wrap the tape around the hell, then tape it diagonally the other way across the bottom of your foot. Take the end under your pinky toe. At this point, you should have a large X across the bottom of your foot with tape. The center of the X should be in the middle of your foot. Repeat taping this X three more times. This provides support to the plantar fascia. The last step of the taping is to tape horizontal lines along the sole of your foot. These horizontal strips of tape will overlap so that you cannot see any of your foot. They will cover the entire bottom of your foot from the heel to the anchor going around the ball of your foot. At the end, wrap a piece of tape all the way around the ball of your foot again, including the top of your foot, to provide extra support. This should be the only piece of tape on the top of your foot. You don't have to wrap all the way around your foot. Instead, tear each piece of tape at the edge of your foot, making what looks like a tape shoe. You should tape your feet whenever you are going to engage in a lot of physical activity, such as before exercising or before going to work. The kinesiology tape should be comfortable and should not be folded on the underside of your foot. It's okay to leave the tape on for three to five days, but it's better to change the tape every day. It's fine if the tape gets wet in the shower.

Although most buffets on the strip are lavish affairs costing more than $15, a few affordable buffets can be found on the strip and elsewhere. Station Casino's Feast Buffet is $6.99 for breakfast, $7.49 for lunch and anywhere from $8.99 to $10.99 for dinner. Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Resort Feast Buffets range anywhere from $1 to $5. If you attend a buffet for the breakfast price and then eat slowly you can wait for the breakfast foods to be carted out and the lunch food to replace them, effectively meaning you paid breakfast prices for the lunch menu. Many of the casino restaurants will have greatly inflated prices. Don't be afraid to venture out of the strip to find bargains on food just as filling as that you'd get in the casino. Salvadoreño Restaurante sells pork pupusas for just $1.75. At Tacos El Gordo you can get a filling meal for anything between $2 to $5. Unwind with a basil and tomato soup for $4.95 at the Nordstrom Marketplace Café. Off-menu specials are a common way for Vegas pros to cut down on prices on long weekends. Search online and keep your ear to the ground for any off-menu specials that can save you a few dollars. For example, Ellis Island is known for its $8.95 steak special that includes a 10-ounce steak, salad, baked potato, vegetable, bread and glass of beer or soda. Sometimes if you play the slots at Ellis Island you can get a voucher to reduce the price to $7.99. The prices at most restaurants fluctuate based on which events are currently taking place. Therefore, it's best to research before you leave for Vegas to see if any events are scheduled while you'll be there. If you find yourself in Vegas during a large event, try to avoid restaurants on the strip at all costs. They may hike up the prices to take advantage of the excitement. Going to restaurants during the offseason, like in July and August, will keep the prices low. Buying individual meals can easily rack up a bigger bill than sharing portions. If you're in a group, try and find a spot that will deal out large portions that you can split the bill on. Depending on the food, you can pack some of it up into small tubs and put it in your bag for later if you find there's too much to eat. Pizzeria Francesco's is great for splitting bills. A single cheese slice is $4 with one topping for $5. Share a whole pizza between a group and the bill will come tumbling down.
Summary: | Eat at a buffet if you prefer one large meal a day. Attend a buffet during transitional periods. Venture off the strip for cheaper restaurants. Ask for off-menu specials for secret bargains. Attend more expensive restaurants on weekdays.

The sun not only dries your hair out, it can also strip your hair of its color. Wear a hat when you’ll be in direct sunlight for longs periods of time to avoid damage from sun rays. Hair oil replaces the oils in your hair that bleaching has stripped away. Use oil in your hair before showering to fill in the “gaps” in your hair created by missing oils. This protects against the damage of shampooing. Use oil in your hair after showering to do the same thing. It makes the hair appear soft and shiny. After the shower, use oil sparingly. Part your hair into a top and bottom section. For fine hair, use one drop of oil per section, for thicker hair add a drop as needed. Coarse hair can need up to five drops. Hair damage isn’t all self inflicted. Every day, we deal with things which damage hair, and they are unfortunately unavoidable. Things like pollution, UVA/UVB rays and even your A/C and heater. Most hair protectants are for heat. Look for products that protect against heat, sun and weather. Since your hair is already rough, look for a product that also repairs damage. Split ends are almost guaranteed when bleaching your hair. If left unattended, a split end can split all the way up the hair shaft, making your hair look and feel straw-like. The best way to avoid further damage created by split ends is to have your hair trimmed every 4 to 6 weeks. To save yourself money between salon visits, you can learn to Cut Your Own Hair. This is a good option for small trims between salon visits. Continue to consult a professional at least every six months. If you can afford it, hair salons offer deep moisture or gloss treatments to keep hair soft and frizz to a minimum.

Bring your dog to the chosen spot, making sure the floor is protected with newspaper. Have your assistant hold the dog in a standing position and elevate the tail when you are ready to administer the enema. Stand behind the dog so you have a clear view of his rear end. If your dog has long fur or feathering around the rear end, then consider clipping away the long fur to reduce fecal soiling when the dog does go. Other types of enema equipment may use a pump or syringe that you will need to fill. Too fill the bulb, pump, or syringe, submerge the end of the tubing into the enema liquid. Then, compress the bulb to expel all of the air. Next, release the bulb so that the negative pressure pulls in liquid. Make sure that the water is not too hot by testing it on the inside of your wrist. If the water is too hot, then cool it down by adding a little cold water. If you are using a syringe, attach the tubing to the hub of the syringe and suck back on the plunger in order to fill the syringe. The anus is the hole through which the dog passes feces. This is easy to identify in the male because it is the only hole. In the female dog the anus is immediately below the tail whilst the vulva is closer to the ground between her back legs. Wearing your protective clothing and gloves, squirt a small volume of liquid out of the end of the tubing to lubricate it or apply some petroleum jelly to the end. Then, take the end of the tubing and gently insert it into your dog’s rectum. Next, apply a bit of gentle pressure at the central part of the anus. It may also help to apply a gentle twisting movement to the tubing as you advance it. The rectum lies parallel to the backbone. Aim to direct the tubing forward in a straight line parallel to the spine in order to follow the path of the rectum. Never apply pressure or force. If the tube refuses to advance, leave it where it is and try squirting in some liquid as it might be the tip is jammed against the fecal buildup. Push the tubing about one to two inches into the anus. Once tubing is far enough into the anus, then slowly compress the syringe or squeeze the bulb in order to administer the enema. Go slow to ensure that your dog will not be uncomfortable and to prevent injury to the dog’s bowel wall. Once the full volume has been given, slowly remove the enema tubing. Take your dog to his usual potty spot and encourage him to go potty. It may help to take your dog for a nice slow, gentle walk to help the fluid mix with the feces and start the softening process. If your dog does not pass feces on the first attempt, repeat the enema process 1 - 2 hours later. Remember to give your dog plenty of opportunities to toilet in between enemas. When he is ready to go, he will need to go right away. Never get angry at a dog that has had an enema and loses control. This is not his fault. To prevent your dog from having an accident on your carpet or furniture, you may want to keep him outside until he has gone.
Summary: | Position your dog. Fill the enema bulb. Identify the anus. Prime the enema pump. Insert the tubing in a straight line. Administer the enema solution. Take your dog to use the bathroom. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |

You can start your search for adoption agencies online. Public and private adoption agencies have websites. Use these as a jumping-off point to learn more about each agency and its adoption process. The process for private agencies may be a bit more involved than if you go through a state agency, and also may cost a little more money. In exchange, you may have more control over the adoption process or more guidance and assistance after the adoption is complete. State adoption services can be a good source of information about the legal and financial assistance available to adoptive parents. While there are plenty of American children looking for forever homes, you may also adopt a child of another race directly from their home country. Look for an agency headquartered in the United States if you want to explore international adoption. Agencies headquartered in another country could be a scam, and you may not have the ability to adequately research their background and reputation. Check adoption alert notifications on the State Department's website regularly. These will let you know if there are any problems with adoptions in specific countries. Once you have a list of three or four different potential adoption agencies, make appointments to visit each of them and talk to the people who work there. Then you can compare to choose the best agency for you. Get an understanding of costs up front, but don't base your decision solely on the amount of money it will cost to complete your adoption. You want to choose an agency where you feel comfortable and at home. Since you want to adopt a child of another race, find out if any of the agencies offer cultural or language support, or if they have classes or other resources available for transracial families. Most agencies have prospective adoptive parents attend an orientation session or an introductory class so you can learn more about the adoption process and the policies of that particular agency. Pre-service training is required in most states, whether you are using a public or private adoption agency. Focus on the presentation, and make note of any questions you have so you can ask agency staff later. While you certainly don't have to be wealthy to adopt a child, you will have to be able to demonstrate that you have the space to house the child and the financial means to support the child. Home and community environment are also important. Talk to your family and friends, and evaluate the multicultural resources available in your area. Make sure those close to you accept your decision to adopt a child of another race. You also want to make sure there are no legal restrictions that would prevent you from adopting a child. If you're thinking about adopting internationally, you want to look at the laws in the child's home country as well.
Summary: | Research nearby adoption agencies. Expand your search abroad. Interview agency staff. Go to an orientation meeting. Assess your ability to care for a child. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,796 | Article: It is important to start training your dog early so that they understand what you want from them from the beginning. Start with showing them what kind of behavior you want and then reinforcing this behavior with treats and praise. Though you can start teaching simple concepts (e.g., housebreaking, sleeping in crate, not jumping/biting/dominating people) to young puppies using positive reinforcement, training more advanced obedience is only recommended for puppies four months and older. For a high energy dog like a Collie, obedience training is essential. Not only will it provide essential stimulation for your BC, it will also make your life with an extremely energetic, mischievous dog somewhat easier. A professional trainer will be able to your dog with obedience training so that it will be easier for you to continue the training at home. Border Collies are intelligent dogs and often respond best to training techniques in which they can think problems out for themselves, such as clicker training. Read books on Border Collies, join an Obedience/Agility group, or talk with experienced BC owners. Do anything to learn more about your beloved pup and what you can do to make their life healthier and happier. Learn about dog nutrition and how important exercise is for your dog’s wellbeing. Consult your veterinarian if you have questions about your Border Collie.

29,799 | Write an article based on this "Eliminate items that aren't relevant to the job you're applying for. Highlight hard skills that set you apart from other applicants. List relevant volunteer work in your "Experience" section. Remove references unless required by the potential employer. Include hobbies and interests only if they're relevant to the job. Trim your "Education" section to relate specifically to the job."
Article: | While you may be proud of a particular job experience or educational opportunity, it has no place on your resume if it has nothing to do with the job you're applying for. You can cut a lot out of your resume by taking out everything that isn't directly related to this employment opportunity. For example, suppose you're a recent graduate applying for a full-time job as a financial analyst. While in school, you worked as a parking attendant. However, since your work as a parking attendant is not relevant to the work you would do as a financial analyst, you can leave it out. Some part-time jobs may have relevance, even if they aren't in the same industry. Think about your job experiences critically. For example, if you're applying for a job as a veterinary technician, it might be relevant that you worked as a pet groomer or pet sitter. Your resume essentially markets you to the potential employer and shows them why you are a strong candidate for the job. You don't need to include anything that doesn't add to that message. Read the job listing carefully and look for hard skills that the employer requires or recommends that candidates have. List as many of those as possible on your resume. Hard skills include certification or demonstrated proficiency in computer programming or operation, the ability to speak languages other than your first language, and office skills such as typing speed. Do not include soft skills, such as "leadership" or "team player." Instead, show these qualities through the description of your accomplishments. It can be tempting to list hard skills you don't actually have. Be careful with this because it may come back to haunt you. Assume that, if hired, you will be asked to do anything included in the job listing as part of your job. Work experience means work that you've done – not just work that you got paid for. Volunteer work or internships that are relevant to the job you're applying for can help boost your resume, especially if you're looking for an entry-level job. For example, if you're applying for a job as a veterinary technician, you would definitely want to include information about volunteering at your local animal shelter, zoo, or nature center. If you have the space, you can leave in significant volunteer work even if it doesn't directly relate to the job you're applying for. This is a good idea if you've researched the employer and know they support particular causes related to your volunteer work. A potential employer may ask you for references, but they generally aren't necessary on a resume. Cutting them out can buy you a few lines. There's also no need to include a sentence that says "references available upon request." If an employer does require references, you can often include them on a separate piece of paper, rather than including them on your resume. The section on hobbies and interests in any resume is typically fluff that can easily be removed if you're trying to cut your resume down to one page. However, if they relate directly to the job you're applying for, it's a good idea to keep them in. For example, if you play a sport in a community amateur league, you might want to keep that information on your resume if you're applying for a job as a sports writer. If you really need the space, you might include them as a line under your work experience section. Change the section heading to "Experience" rather than "Work Experience." Through your research, you may have discovered that you and the hiring manager have various hobbies or interests in common. In that situation, it's tempting to leave them on your resume. However, it's better to save them for the interview when you can strike up a conversation about your mutual interests. It may be that you've earned a degree or certificate that is entirely unrelated to the job you're applying for. If that's the case, simply list the degree and the school, but don't include any additional detail. If the degree isn't required for the job, you can leave it off entirely. For example, if the job listing states that a bachelor's degree is required, you would need to include your bachelor's degree on your resume even if it was in a field of study unrelated to the job. However, if you had a higher degree, you could safely leave the bachelor's degree off to save some space. If you have a bachelor's degree, you don't need to include your high school education. The potential employer will realize that you have a high school diploma if you have a bachelor's degree. However, you may want to leave it on if you went to an elite high school and you learned through research that the hiring manager graduated from the same school. | Flan-GEM-wiki-lingua (T) | - | summarization | 1 | eng | Latn | train |
29,800 | Buying local can help curb animal cruelty. Animals raised on local farms were likely subjected to more ethical conditions than animals on factory farms. If you can find a local farmer's market or grocery store, make that your first option when it comes to grocery shopping. Locally raised meat is usually free from the antibiotics and growth hormones animals are force fed at factories. Animals raised on an organic diet are significantly healthier than factory raised animals. In factory farms, animals are kept in tight pens and cannot move more than a few feet. Local farms usually allow animals to be free range, meaning they can spend more time outside and are not confined to pens. When you buy meat, eggs, or cheese from a local farm, your money goes straight to supporting that farm. At a grocery store, you are more likely to be supporting a multinational food conglomerate than individual farmers. Allowing these farms the money they need to sustain themselves gives happy homes to a variety of animals. If farmer's markets aren't available in your area, try to find a grocery store that supports local markets and adheres to ethical guidelines when it comes to the buying and selling of meat. Whole Foods, one of the biggest grocery shopping chains, buys from local markets and only stock meat products purchased from farmers that meet strict standards for animal welfare. Earth Fare, similar to Whole Foods, follows strict ethical standards when it comes to the animal products bought and sold. If you look around, you might find a local grocery store in your area that buys local. Learn to hunt deer for venison. Deer meat is very beneficial for human consumption, and animals that are hunted in their natural habitat have lived much happier and healthier lives. Many people believe the best way to curb animals cruelty is by not eating meat or by not eating animals products at all. This is called vegetarianism/veganism and if you are dedicated to the cause it's something you can consider. Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, and poultry. It's possible to meet all nutritional needs while maintaining a vegetarian diet. Vegetarians find alternative sources of protein in beans, lentils, tofu, nuts, seeds, tempeh, and peas. Vegans, in addition to not eating meat, do not eat anything with animal byproducts. This includes dairy and honey. Vegans can easily meet protein requirements as almost all foods have some protein. Chickpeas, tofu, peas, peanut butter, almonds, and other nuts are great sources of protein on a vegan diet. The vitamin B12, often found in meats and other animal-based products, is very important to maintain a healthy diet. Vegetarians and vegans can find B12 in soy meats, some cereals, soy milk, and nutritional yeast. You can also talk to your doctor about B12 supplements. You don't always know what you're getting eating out, and by cooking your own meals at home you can assure yourself you're eating ethically. Use food you bought locally, or food that contains no hidden animals products. If you eat meat, buy locally raised grass-fed meat from local markets. By making meals at home, you can make sure the products you're using are cruelty free. Even when eating vegetarian options at restaurants, you never know what hidden animals products could be used in the food. In addition to reducing animal cruelty, eating at home is also better for your health as your food is generally lower in calories and less stocked with hidden sugars and fats.
