MBZUAI UGRIP Statement Tuning 9

Passage: When you find your thoughts returning over and over again to that particular person, you may benefit from a period of sustained thought about that person. For a set period of time, even 10 minutes can be enough, think only about that person. Doing this can lessen the intensity of the feeling, leaving you calmer. Try not to think about your future together or what might come; focus your thoughts only on that person and their characteristics for the entirety of the time. Sometimes, all you need is the right distraction to get your mind off your potential lover. Past happy experiences can restore perspective by interrupting the strong feelings you have for that person. Think of past times when you've had fun, or a place where you feel safe and protected. Repeat a mantra that you find soothing. Some examples: "Everything's going to be OK." "I am calm, cool, and collected." "With every breath, I release anxiety and become more calm." "I overcome my fear and live life courageously." In some situations, people become so nervous around those they like that they become clumsy or inarticulate. If this happens to you, find the trigger and think about how you might combat it. If you have difficulty talking to him, bring up a topic you're passionate or knowledgeable about. If you find that when he's around you're all thumbs, invite him for coffee or something that requires little dexterity. Your first letter will celebrate your feelings and all the reasons why you feel the way you do. In your second letter, write all the worries, concerns, and sources of anxiety related to the person you like. Try to make a case for moving forward, after all, you are a worthy person regardless if your affections are returned. Too often, people talk themselves into a negative loop that makes feelings more overwhelming with every passing instant. If you suffer with this condition, find out any automatic negative thoughts you have and interrupt those with an opposing positive thought. For example: "If he doesn't like me I'll be so embarrassed and then people will think I'm a loser. Wait a minute. I had friends before I started liking him, so I know I'll have friends afterwards, too. I guess it's silly to put so much self-worth on this." Tell the entire dramatic story playing in your head to yourself several times. Make sure you complete the story by taking it to its natural extreme. By the third or fourth time, you should be better able to recognize the absurdity of these extreme, yet natural, thoughts. "If I ask him out on a date and he rejects me, everyone will talk about it forever. I'll never stop hearing, for the rest of my life, about the one time I asked this guy out. It will haunt me through college and my professional life, because everyone will already know." NOTE: this technique is intended to reveal warped perspective to the person using it. If you find yourself truly believing these things and unable to see how your perspective is off kilter, talk to an adult or a mental health professional. Though feelings of embarrassment or the knowledge of your own infatuation might make you hesitant, sharing your feelings with those you trust can help you come to terms with the normalcy of your situation, and leave you feeling less isolated. Family members and trusted friends can be a great source of strength through the storm of romantic feelings you might now be suffering., Summary: Clean yourself and dress up before your date. Leave the money in a white envelope on the table. Cancel the appointment if you change your mind. Avoid going on the date if it isn’t what you agreed to.

Q: Summarize the following: This problem has more than one unknown value, so its equation will have multiple variables. This means you cannot solve for a specific numerical value of a variable. Instead, you will solve to find an equation that describes a variable. Robyn and Billy run a lemonade stand. They are giving all the money that they make to a cat shelter. They will combine their profits from selling lemonade with their tips. They sell cups of lemonade for 75 cents. Their mom and dad have agreed to double whatever amount they receive in tips. Write an equation that describes the amount of money Robyn and Billy will give to the shelter. You are asked to find how much money Robyn and Billy will give to the cat shelter. You know that Robyn and Billy will make money from selling cups of lemonade and from getting tips. You know that they will sell each cup for 75 cents. You also know that their mom and dad will double the amount they make in tips. You don’t know how many cups of lemonade they sell, or how much tip money they get. Since you have three unknowns, you will have three variables. Let x{\displaystyle x} equal the amount of money they will give to the shelter. Let c{\displaystyle c} equal the number of cups they sell. Let t{\displaystyle t} equal the number of dollars they make in tips. Since they will “combine” their profits and tips, you know addition will be involved. Since their mom and dad will “double” their tips, you know you need to multiply their tips by a factor of 2. Since you are writing an equation that describes the amount of money they will give to the shelter, the variable x{\displaystyle x} will be alone on one side of the equation. Since you are combining their profits and tips, you will be adding two terms. So, x = __ + __. The first term will be equal to their profits. Since they make $0.75 for every cup of lemonade they sell, their profits are equal to .75c{\displaystyle .75c}. So, x=.75c+??{\displaystyle x=.75c\;+\;??}. The second term will be equal to their tips. Since their parents are doubling their tips, their tips will be equal to 2t{\displaystyle 2t}. So, x=.75c+2t{\displaystyle x=.75c+2t}. Since the variable you are describing is already isolated, and all like terms are combined, you have arrived at your final answer. The variable x{\displaystyle x} equals the amount of money Robyn and Billy will donate to the cat shelter. So, the amount they donate can be found by multiplying the number of cups of lemonade they sell by .75, and adding this product to the product of their tip money and 2., A: Draw buildings in perspective to practice basic shapes. Practice drawing famous landmarks to make an easily recognizable piece. Draw an airplane or space shuttle for art that flies off the page. Try drawing a tank if you want to make an easy 3D vehicle. Sketch a sports car to make a modern, angular drawing.

Q: Summarize the following: Boys who are players aren’t going to be nervous, stammering types around a girl. They will seem almost too practiced, and they will flirt with you with ease because it’s a game to them, and they’ve done this before. For example: They will always have a rehearsed pickup line or a flirty joke. You'll think he’s “prince charming” and like you can do no wrong in his eyes. They're brimming with confidence around you, talk with ease, and say everything that a girl would want to hear. However, they speak in generalities rather than including meaningful details. They do these things before they really get to know you and will go over the top to impress. Their words sound fake and artificial. A guy who is a player will seem more interested in you than anyone has before. At first. However, he will then cheat or just leave you once he gets what he wants, which is physical intimacy and/or your affirmation. For example: He'll try to get you to feel important by showering your with flattery. He may pretend that you share interests so that you'll be amazed how much you have in common. Some flattery is sincere. Pay attention to how much, how often, and to what degree he does it. A player's flattery will be over-the-top. Be wary of “love bombing.” This is where he bombs you with endearment, praise, clings to everything you say, pampers you, and puts you on a pedestal. His flattery will focus primarily on your looks. There are certain words that a player is likely to never say to you. Although the player is very talkative, he’s not going to sacrifice being in control. A player is unlikely to say “I love you.” There are a few players who will say this just to get what they want and not mean it, but generally speaking, a player won’t utter those words because he doesn’t want you to think this is long term. A player won’t say that it’s up to you to decide what to do when it comes to going out. That’s because he’s not really interested in your life, hobbies, desires or activities. A player stays in control of the timing and venue. He might even require that you only meet inside his or your home so others don’t see you. If he tries to have sex with you and doesn’t have a condom, it’s less likely he’s a player. A player will always come prepared because he does this a lot. If a guy is a player, he’s probably hurt a lot of women or girls before. In order to throw you off the scent, he will project his behavior on them. He will act like he was victimized by them. He will trash talk his exes, by calling them “psycho” or “crazy” and try to make you think that he was the victim and the breakup was all their fault. If he does this repeatedly or about more than one person, start questioning whether the person engaging in bad behavior was actually him. Pay attention to how other girls in his orbit treat you. Players tend to have lots of girls around them, especially desperate ones who seem angry at them., A: Wear appropriate safety gear when working around mold or with chemicals. Select the proper mold and mildew cleaner. Wipe away the mold using a rag.

Passage: If he thinks he can get away with ignoring you after your attempts to turn things around, and you let him, then he is getting away with ignoring you. If you demand respect from him, telling him what you will and won't stand for, he won't have any other option. Tell him how you feel. Tell him you need better communication, and that you'll try to communicate better too. Tell him if the communication doesn't get better, you might have to consider calling it quits. If he loves you and respects you, he'll change in an instant. If he doesn't love you and doesn't respect you, why would you want to be with him? Go hang out with your friends and guy friends. Make sure he understands that you have a life, too and that he's lucky you're including him in it. Most guys will immediately come running back and stop ignoring you, especially if you're hanging out with other guys. They'll get territorial. It's just how guys work. If he doesn't come back to you and keeps ignoring you, ask yourself if you want the relationship you're getting. One hundred percent effort from someone else is probably better than 50 percent effort from him. Of course, it helps to have proof: You don't want to break up with him just because you have a "feeling." But if stuff doesn't feel right, have a talk and figure out what's wrong. If nothing is wrong, and that's just how things are, then you probably want to start looking for a new boyfriend, because things just aren't working for you two., Summary: Say "je vous en prie" in polite or serious situations. Use "merci à vous" after mutual assistance. Try "c'est moi que vous remercie" if someone helps you.

Passage: Once you know you have an interview lined up, spend some time researching the company and the position you applied for online. You'll often be able to learn the answers to basic questions you have, especially concerning work schedule and job responsibilities. You may also encounter information you're curious about, so you can ask the interviewer to expand or clarify. Try the company website, anything a search engine turns up about the company, and the company's social media pages. Try to understand the company's goals and mission, and how it ties into your skills and interests. This makes you appear prepared and suitable for the company, which is a cut above someone who only repeats the website's talking points. If you know someone who works or used to work at the company, that contact can give you specific tips about your interviewers or what the company values. Write down a list of questions you expect them to ask, and then construct a thoughtful answer to each one in writing. If you get some of your guesses right, you'll appear confident and practiced, and will have less anxiety about improvising your answers. Be prepared to summarize your previous work experiences, and to explain how they contributed to skills and knowledge that applies to the job you're trying to get. Certain common resume occurrences are often brought up in interview questions. These include a long gap in your employment, a job you only had for a short time, or unusual work experience people may not be familiar with. The interviewer may ask you non-work-related questions, and you should be able to tie them into your interest in the company. Some of these may take verbal gymnastics, but if you focus on your personal character development and your passion for the work the company does, you can usually find a way to connect them with the question. Prepare a short summary of a few major accomplishments in your life or career, ending with a tie-in about how you are suited for this job. When they ask you to "tell me about yourself," they are looking for more specific information than what you included on your resume. Google your name and be prepared to explain any unflattering information, work experience you left off your resume, or unusual hobbies. The last category can easily become a strength if you describe positive reasons you enjoy them. Other common questions include What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?, Why should we hire you?, Where do you see yourself in five years?, and How did you hear about our company? These are all opportunities to describe yourself in a positive light, especially your connection and commitment to the company's mission. If you are having trouble coming up with answers, have a friend who's prepared for interviews before help you construct answers that are positive, but not clichéd. Have a friend read out your list of questions, or do it alone in front of a mirror. Answer them without reading from your paper, although glancing down at first is fine. Do this several times, trying to word your answers in different ways each time. The more you practice, the more natural you'll sound when the interviewer asks a similar, but not identical, question. Bring along a copy of your resume, as well as a notepad and pen. If you're coming straight from another obligation, bring along a comb, makeup, or whatever else you need to improve your appearance before the interview begins. Bringing a phone to exchange contact information is a good idea, but be sure it is set to silent during the interview. Consider printing out the "about the company page" or the job postings section of their website and making notes on it concerning what information you'd like to learn more about. Cut your nails, tidy your hair, and wear well kept, formal clothing. See this article for more detailed information if you're not confident about your dress decisions. There are rare exceptions, but you should only dress more casually if you are specifically told not to dress up. Even then you should pay attention to hygiene and not wear ratty or dirty clothing. This situation comes up most often for jobs that require outdoor manual labor. Having a bored friend in the car or kids waiting in the lobby will increase your anxiety. Similarly, keep your schedule clear so you don't keep someone waiting if the interview goes long. If you have to pick your kids up from school or have a meeting with a friend, try to get someone else to cover for you or reschedule before the interview. Aim to show up in advance in case of unexpected delays. You only have one chance to make a good first impression, and even a reasonable excuse for being late will make you look worse. Don't enter the interviewing office until five minutes before your scheduled interview time. Give yourself extra time to find the interview location if it is in a large complex or complicated building. If you are unavoidably delayed, call in advance and let them know the reason and your estimated arrival time. contains many methods for reducing anxiety. Pick one or two that you can do before the interview and have calmed you down in the past. If you have trouble relaxing and aren't sure which will work, try to find the time to try some of these out in the week before the interview. If you have the time beforehand, try having lunch with a calm friend or getting a massage. Many people become nervous if they are waiting for something stressful alone, so try to choose an absorbing, distracting activity with a relaxing friend. If you only have a few minutes before the interview, take a few deep, slow breaths in and out, holding each one for a brief pause. Do this for 30–60 seconds if you can. Some relaxation methods are impractical when preceding a job interview. Taking a bubble bath or jogging right before your interview will leave a bad impression when you show up with wet hair or a sweat soaked shirt., Summary: Research the company. Come up with answers to common resume questions. Prepare to describe yourself in a way that is relevant to the job. Practice answering these questions in different ways. Pack everything you need. Dress nicely. Go alone and without other obligations. Arrive at least fifteen minutes early. Calm your nerves before you begin. This article

Passage: Find out if your credit company will allow you to set your payment due date. Many companies will let you select whatever date you wish. Choose a date that you can remember easily. You may also want to choose a date that coincides with your payday, so you will be able to count on having money available. One helpful tip is to set your due date on the same day as your birthday. For example, if your birthday is on April 12th, you could set the 12th of each month as your credit card payment date. Give yourself physical reminders that your payments are due. Write the due date in your calendar. Post it on your cell phone. You can even set an alarm on your phone to alert you when your payment is coming due. You might even want to post notes on your refrigerator, if you are likely to see them there. Anything is a good idea, as long as it works for you. Even more than just using your cell phone calendar, you can use current Internet sites as reminders. Websites like MemotoMe.com or RemembertheMilk.com can be scheduled to give you a monthly reminder a few days before your payment is due. MemotoMe.com lets you create a private account, protected with a password and linked to your email. You will receive notices when your dates are coming due. RemembertheMilk.com links to your email as well as other social media interfaces. Give yourself enough advance notice to write and send the payment., Summary: Set your payment due date. Make reminders for yourself. Use current technology to help remember.

The answer of "Summarize the following To improve your speaking you will need to get lots of practice in conversational Danish. To do this you will need to find people that you can talk to in Danish. If you have joined a class, ask some of your classmates if they would like to get some extra practice by meeting up for a coffee and some Danish conversation. Try to only speak in the foreign language for ten minutes, and then gradually increase this period as you get more accomplished. If you want to practice your Danish, you can offer your language skills in exchange. The internet makes it easy for language learners to get in touch and communicate. You can find someone to write to or chat to online, who is a native Danish speaker and will be able to advise you on informal as well as formal aspects of the language and culture. Talking to someone around your own age who is not a tutor will expose you to more slang expressions and casual conversational Danish. Visit a language exchange website and look for people offering their Danish skills. You may find people who live in your city and are interested in meeting up for a language exchange. If you are not learning with others it can be tricky to find someone to practice speaking Danish with. Lots of language teachers are working online, and typically a skype lesson will be cheaper than a one-to-one lesson. You may be able to negotiate a lower rate for a lesson if you say that you want to focus more on speaking and conversational practice, as this is likely to require less preparation time for the tutor. One lesson a week of an hour or two, or an evening on a language website will not be enough time to really learn Danish. The key to your success is the amount of practice you do outside of class. Try to take every opportunity to expose yourself to Danish and immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. Watching films and TV programmes in the language you are learning can help you get used to the sound of the language, so ask your teacher for some recommendations. If possible, visit Denmark on holiday to try out your Danish conversational skills." is Practice speaking with others. Find an online Danish language exchange partner. Talk to a tutor over skype. Immerse yourself in Danish.

The summary of "During the interview, smile and look the interviewer in the eye, wait to sit down until the interviewer asks you, don't slouch, and avoid nervous actions. Having a positive attitude is expressed through your body language as well as what you say, so pay attention to this during the interview. The initial stages of the interview are crucial and the impression you make in the first twenty minutes count for a lot. The interview is a conservation, not you giving a monologue. The interviewers won’t be impressed if you don’t show that you can listen intently and take it what you are being told. Your interviewer is giving you information so you need to be alive to that to be sure you don’t miss anything important. Part of communicating well, is listening well. Listening well will also help to get a good picture of the culture of the place you are interviewing for. When you are being asked a question, it’s important that you take in the content of the question and answer it directly. If you are being asked if you have a particular skill or experience then you should provide some clear evidence of this with an example. If you don’t give a specific example, then not only are you only part answering the question, but you are also missing a great opportunity to present your skills and achievements in the clearest possible way. For example, if you are asked about your organisational skills, you might say that you are highly organised but follow this up by describing an event you organised in the past. If you are asked about meeting deadlines, you could reference the college or school assignments which you always turned in on time. Or if you are asked about the ability to handle competing priorities, you can talk about juggling work and study. If you can use evidence from outside work and education, you will also present a more rounded picture of yourself and your outside interests. Be professional, but relaxed and confident throughout the interview. If you pay close attention to the interviewers you will see the style and tone they use and you can try to adapt to that and show that you can work well in such an environment. The language and tone you use is vital so you need to be aware of leaving negative soundbites in the minds of the interviewers. This can occur if you are asked a question about something that you do not have direct experience of. Of course, you should never give a false impression of your abilities or experience, but how you frame a negative answer is very important. Instead of just saying ‘no’, change the emphasis to a positive by highlighting other things you have done which are relevant, while indicating that you are keen to develop in this area. For example, if you are asked if you have ever organised an event at work, don’t say ‘no, never’, but say something like, ‘I have not been the lead in organising events, but I have been part of a team who did this and learnt a lot from it’. You could also give an example of something you have organised outside of work, like a sports tournament or charity event. Be positive, and show how you want to develop your skills and experience. When you are talking in the interview keep in mind that you are trying to give an overview of your career progression so far, and your aspirations for the future. We learn in different ways, and your own personal experience has contributed to your personal and professional development. Don’t get carried away, veer off topic and give a monologue of your life story, but some personal information that explains how you have arrived at where you are can make your interview memorable, and contextualise your CV. At the end of the interview, the interviewers will normally turn to you and ask if you have any questions for them. An important part of interviewing is asking good questions here, which demonstrate your enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and ability to take on board the information you gained through the interview. You should ask questions both about the employer and about the job. Some good examples of questions to ask are: What kind of training and career development opportunities to you offer? What are your favourite and least favourite parts of the job? How would you describe the work culture here? How do you envisage the company’s growth and development in the next five years? Do you have any doubts about my suitability for the role?" is Have positive body language. Listen. Really answer the questions you are asked, and use examples as evidence. Strike the right tone. Avoid using negative language. Tell a story of your progression and development. Ask questions.

Q: Summarize the following: Opt for compact fluorescent (CFL) or light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. These options use an average of 75 percent less electricity (usually sourced from coal). They also last much longer (5 to 20 years), saving you lots of money in the long run. CFLs and LEDs are brighter than incandescent bulbs. If you’re sensitive to bright lights, look into fitting your lamps with darker lamp shades. For ceiling fixtures, consider installing LED-compatible dimmers. Each time you turn a light on, you use up energy. Unfortunately, many people have a habit of turning on lights they don't actually need. By reducing your use of lighting, you will not only help conserve energy, but also save on electricity bills. Keep the lights off in rooms that you are not currently using. On sunny days, open the curtains for some free solar lighting. Consider switching to timers or motion sensors if you need lights on in unused areas for security or safety reasons. This is great for garden pathways. Use dimmers and less lighting later at night to help your body get ready for sleep. Switch to smaller, energy-efficient lights. If you’re reading or sewing, use a desk lamp rather than a ceiling lamp. Even if your coffee maker or computer is switched off, it’s still consuming energy as long as it is still plugged into the wall. Unplug these devices when not in use. If you have multiple electronics in, consider using a power strip. This way, you can simply turn the strip off to cut the power. Central air often uses coal-based electricity. Central heating often uses oil or natural gas. Adjusting the temperature just one or two degrees can help to conserve resources. To maximize your comfort, dress warmly and use thick blankets during colder weather. When it’s hot outside, close the blinds on east-facing windows in the morning and west-facing windows in the afternoon. Insulate your home with weather stripping, caulk, and eco-friendly insulation. This will prevent cold winter air and hot summer air from making your home uncomfortable. Most clothes dryers are electricity hogs. You can solve this problem by opting to air dry your laundry. On hot sunny days, hang your laundry outside to dry. If it’s cool and/or rainy (or if you’re drying your undergarments), dry your clothes indoors on drying racks. Your clothes will take slightly longer to dry, but the planet and your wallet will thank you. Clothes dryers can be rough on clothing. By switching to air drying, you may find that your clothes last longer. Do this when you’re showering, washing dishes, or doing the laundry. Cool or cold water reduces fossil fuel consumption by about 90 percent. In the washing machine, it also preserves your clothes longer than hot water does. Don’t worry about germs surviving in cool water. As long as you’re using soap, you’ll still kill germs. In many locations, the prices of solar and wind energy are competitive with fossil fuels. Although many national governments in Europe and North America have ended subsidies, some local governments still provide tax breaks for solar panels and/or wind turbines. Check with your city or state/provincial government to see if they offer these incentives. Solar panels come in a variety of sizes for rooftops and yards. If you prefer wind power, you can build or buy a turbine small enough for your backyard. If you’re an apartment/condo dweller or if you rent your home, look into buying offsets. Check online for power companies that match your energy consumption with clean power. You can stay with your current utility company, and it only takes a few minutes to sign up., A: Heat .5 cups (120 ml) of milk into a saucepan for 5 minutes. Pour the heated milk into a cup of steeped Earl Grey. Add a .5 teaspoons (2.5 ml) of vanilla extract to the tea and stir.

Context: Soak 1 cup of rice through cold water in a bowl. Drain your rice through a colander or fine mesh strainer after you soak it for 5 to 10 minutes. Soaking sticky rice allows the grains to expand and helps with cooking times. Place your pot filled with water onto your stove-top and set it to high. Allow the water to come to a rolling boil before putting your rice in the pot. If you want a thicker champorado, add less water to the mixture. Add your soaked rice to the pot of boiling water. Allow the water to come to a full boil again before reducing it to a simmer. Do not keep your stove on high. You can burn your rice this way. When you stir the pot, you’re preventing the sticky rice from sticking to the sides of the pot, where it can easily burn. Remember to stir the pot consistently to prevent this from happening. The rice should be finished when it has absorbed most of the water. Taste your rice to make sure the grains are not hard. Mix in 1/3rd of a cup of cocoa powder to your pot and allow the champorado to thicken. Make sure to continue stirring so that you can dissolve all the cocoa powder in your pot. Adding in full pieces of chopped chocolate and ½ cup of brown sugar will sweeten your champorado. You can use chocolate chips as an alternative to chocolate bars. Continue to stir your champorado until all the solid pieces of chocolate are dissolved. Your champorado should have a texture like porridge. Adding milk to your champorado will give it a watery consistency. Add more milk if you think the texture is too thick. Using condensed canned milk is the traditional way to make it, but you can substitute it with whatever milk you prefer., Summary: Soak and strain 1 cup of sticky rice in cold water. Fill a pot with 5 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the sticky rice to your pot of water. Let the rice cook for 15 minutes while constantly stirring. Add 1/3rd of a cup of cocoa powder to your rice. Add 2 ounces of chopped chocolate and a ½ cup of brown sugar. Stir until you dissolve the solid pieces of chocolate. Drizzle condensed or low-fat milk on the top.

Q: Summarize the following: People will often express themselves through their body language. These signals can range from being obvious to subtle, requiring you to pay careful attention. Try to look out for some of the following examples of body language to determine if a girl might be interested in you or not: Standing or sitting close to you can be a sign of interest. If she makes eye contact often and smiles or laughs a lot she might be interested in you. Lightly touching your arms or shoulders can be a show of affection. If she crosses her arms, looks distracted or avoids contact with you she is probably uninterested. Some people may differ in regards to how they use their body language. These signs won't always apply. Does she always come find you at lunch? Does she stop by your locker after school? Does she regularly visit you at work? Has she taken an interest in your activities? If she makes an effort to be around you, she obviously likes spending time with you. That may not mean that she is interested in you romantically but if she treats you different than all other guys there is a good chance she is. Many say that this is the best way to find out if someone is interested in you. Ask yourself if it seems like she wants to spend time with you. If the answer is yes, she probably likes you. If she is willing to make eye contact with you, that is a good sign to begin with. Our facial expressions are great indicators of our feelings. If the girl gives you a warm welcoming look and a smile when you see her that is definitely a sign of positive feelings. However, sometimes people might fake smiles. Learn some of the following traits of genuine smiles and fake smiles to accurately gauge interest: Genuine smiles will involve the eyes. A person who is smiling will close their eyes and should have “crows-feet” wrinkles appear. Fake smiles will generally not involve the eyes at all. There won't be any closing of the eyes or “crows-feet” appearing with a fake smile. In a genuine smile, you shouldn't be able to see the persons bottom teeth. Fake smiles will likely reveal both the top and bottom rows of teeth. If you think she likes you, there’s a pretty good chance she likes you. Try not to spend too much time thinking about it. It’s natural to be nervous about something like this but thinking about it constantly isn’t helping anything. Take stock of the information that you have available to you and decide on a course of action. It would be better to decide to ask her out or decide to do nothing then to keep torturing yourself. None of these clues guarantee that she is into you, but if you’re noticing two or three of them it is probably a good sign., A: Read her body language. Take note if she wants to spend time with you. Pay attention to her facial expressions. Trust your gut.

Q: Summarize the following: Aim for 1/4 inch rounds (0.6 cm) or slightly smaller. Larger slices won't cook as well, while smaller ones burn more easily. Use a generous amount of pleasantly flavored oil such as olive or coconut oil. Place the banana slices on the plate with space between each one. The bananas should start turning soft and releasing moisture. You can also add additional flavor at this point. A sprinkling of sea salt or kosher salt adds a great savory flavor, while grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon works well with the bananas' sweetness. This might take a couple of minutes depending on your microwave. Unlike other drying methods, these will only stay fresh for about a day., A: Consider keeping your Callas outside if you live in a mild climate. Help your plant to die back.

Q: Summarize the following: Perhaps you’ve already got a story in mind, or maybe not. If not, read several different books and pick one that you really enjoy. If the story paints a vivid picture in your mind, it will be easier to come up with sketches. Regardless of what book you choose, make sure you spend plenty of time reading and analyzing the story. Try to imagine what the author pictured when it was written. Try to imagine how you would draw the picture as you are reading and re-reading the story. Another option is to write a story of your own. Many writers enjoy the process of both writing and illustrating. One advantage of this is, that if you write your own story, you know exactly what the author is trying to portray, which makes it easier to portray the story in images. After you’ve chosen or written the book you want to illustrate you can begin sketching pictures of the setting, the scenery, etc. It may be helpful to take notes of what you've sketched so far, with what characters, and in what settings so that you can keep track throughout the book. Especially if the book is a long one, it may be hard to remember the details of what you sketched in an earlier part of the book. If you’re not sure exactly what the characters and style should look like, try sketching out several different ideas so you can see them on paper (or computer). Once you’ve completed some rough sketches of different ideas you have, you can choose a style that you will stick with throughout the book. Since this is for your own enjoyment, the style can be any you choose. However, it is often a good idea to choose a style that matches with the book. For example, if the book is about drama and murder, you probably won't be using a lot of bright colors. Instead, in this case, you might consider using darker, more muted shading, and less cartoonish characters. If you're illustrating a children's book, on the other hand, you don't want to draw characters that will frighten children. Since you are not doing this as a paid job, you can proceed with the process of illustration as you like. Draw images for each scene you find interesting, or for each page of the book. Draw and redraw the scenes as much as you like. Add color or keep the illustrations as simple pencil sketches. These choices are completely yours. If you are doing this in order to build up a portfolio, you should try to work towards creating a style that is unique to you. If you want to improve your illustrations, you can also ask for lots of feedback from friends and family too! They may have ideas you hadn’t previously thought of. If you have drawn all your images by hand, you can scan the images into your computer where you can add the images to the story. Alternatively, if you have chosen a book that you are unable to edit on the computer, you can simply put the drawings into the book where you wanted to include them. This way they will be in the story next time you read it. If you think you might one day want to become a published illustrator, consider sharing your work. These days, it is very common for illustrators to post their portfolio online. There are many websites that will let you create your own blog for free. Simply search on Google for "free blogging websites". Make sure the site you choose will easily allow you to share your link with friends! You can also create a physical portfolio if you wish. There are many ways to do this, but if you plan to present it to potential clients, make sure that it looks clean and professional., A: Find a book you want to illustrate. Begin sketching images. Decide on a style. Draw and redraw each image. Scan your images into the computer. Consider sharing your work.

Context: Once your doctor has diagnosed a blood clot, you will likely be prescribed anticoagulants, which are also called blood thinners. This medication prevents your blood from thickening, which reduces the likelihood that it will form another clot. It won’t fix an existing clot, but it will keep the clot from expanding and prevent others from forming. Blood thinners are prescribed based on how long it takes your blood to clot. This is called your prothrombin time (PTT) baseline. Your doctor will conduct tests to determine your PTT before prescribing blood thinners. Blood thinners can be given as an injection or in pill form. If you’re on blood thinners, take care to avoid accidents and injuries as your blood will be less able to clot. You will likely need to continue taking the blood thinners after the danger has passed so that another clot doesn’t form. Your doctor will conduct blood tests to determine if the dosage of the blood thinners is correct. They will likely need to adjust the dosage frequently. A clot buster is injected into your body via an IV or catheter to break up a serious clot. Since they cause a lot of bleeding, they are only used in extreme cases. This treatment will be administered in an intensive care unit. If you are unable to take medication to prevent clots, then your doctor can insert a filter in your vena cava. This is a large vein in your abdomen. The filter will stop clots that may form from traveling to your lungs. Your doctor will need to do this in an in-patient hospital setting to ensure there are no complications. Surgery is often the last treatment option for a clot, unless you’re in an emergency situation. This surgery is called a thrombectomy. The doctor will open your blood vessel, remove the clot, and then close the vein. They may also install a catheter or a stent to keep the vein open and clot free afterwards. Surgery comes with risks and is most often reserved for life-threatening situations., Summary: Take anticoagulants as prescribed by your doctor. Ask your doctor about clot busters. Allow your doctor to insert a filter if medication is not an option. Undergo surgery to remove the clot if other treatments don’t work.

The summary of "Procyanindins are antioxidants found in plants like apples, grapes, blueberries, rosehips and green tea. Research in Japan has shown that when a paste containing concentrated amounts of procyanidins is applied to the scalp, it can increase hair growth in men who are balding by neutralizing free radicals that lead to inflammation and hair loss. You can order a tube of procyanidin treatment online. Apply a 0.7 percent solution to the scalp twice a day. While no research has been conducted on the efficacy of this solution in treating women's hair loss, it is said that procyanidin might increase growth in women whose hair loss is hormone-related. Rosemary has been used to cure hair loss for centuries, and it's still an important homeopathic treatment. It helps to promote cell growth on the scalp and decrease the buildup of sebum that can clog hair follicles and prevent hair growth. In addition, rosemary is anti-inflammatory, so it relieves inflammation that leads to hair loss. To receive the benefits of rosemary, grind fresh rosemary leaves and add a little water to create a paste. Apply the paste to your scalp and let it absorb into the skin for about 15 minutes before rinsing it away. Alternatively, dilute 5 drops of rosemary essential oil in a tablespoon of jojoba or almond oil, and massage it into your scalp. Rinse it out after 15 minutes. You can also ingest the rosemary in the form of tea. Place a few sprigs of fresh rosemary in a cup and pour boiling water over them. Let them steep in the water for 5 minutes, then remove the sprigs and drink the tea. Another anti-inflammatory substance, his essential oil is know to stimulate the scalp and promote hair growth. Dilute 5 drops of cedarwood oil in a tablespoon of jojoba or almond oil. Massage it into your scalp and let it sit and absorb into the skin for 15 minutes before rinsing it away. The very act of gently massaging your scalp with a beneficial oil can help promote hair growth. Massaging your scalp helps to slough away dead skin and unplug hair follicles that are clogged, stimulating new growth. You can add a few drops of rosemary or cedarwood essential oil to make the treatment even more effective. Give yourself a weekly head massage using one of the following oils: Coconut oil Argan oil Jojoba oil Almond oil" is Try a procyanidin treatment. Use a rosemary treatment. Use cedarwood oil. Give yourself a scalp massage with other oils.

The summary of "Blind rivets can be installed from 1 side and create secure fastenings without the hammering process necessary for solid rivet installation. Standard blind rivets are the most affordable type and are great for holes that are regularly shaped and aligned properly. Use standard blind rivets for securing metal pieces that aren't going to carry lots of weight. To determine the maximum weight your rivets can hold, look at the back of the package for their shear strength. Never use standard rivets for situations that require a water-proof seal. If you're working with important structural joints, don't use blind rivets. Instead, use solid rivets with a pneumatic rivet gun. These rivets have a wider grip range and always completely fill the holes in your metal due to their "bulbing" action. They are best suited for irregular, oversized, or misaligned holes, as well as situations where you're unsure of the optimal rivet length. Multi-grip rivet seals are weather and vibration-proof. Sealed rivets possess an enclosed mandrel (the longer end) that creates a water-tight seal upon installation. They can fasten many kinds of materials and perform well across varying temperature fluctuations and thicknesses. If you don't need a water-tight seal, opt for standard rivets instead—they're typically cheaper than sealed products. Interlock rivets are best if you need increased pull-out and shear strength, such as in structural applications. They come in large sizes that typically don't fit the smaller rivet guns. Interlock rivets work great for closing big gaps and preventing sheet movement. Dome head rivets are the most common type for pop guns due to their versatility and simple application. They're best used for situations that require reliability and safety. For example, thousands of dome head rivets are used to create the structural frame of modern aircraft. If you're unsure of the applicability of dome heads for your situation, take a look at their packaging to determine the shear strength (listed as weight in pounds) that they can support. Use dome heads when connecting material similar to carbon steel, when the rivet is close to the edge of the material you are fastening. These blind rivets are also called round heads. Flat rivets are countersunk and ideal for soft materials, which are defined as anything easily deformed by temperature extremes or fluctuations, such as polymers, granular materials, and soft biological materials. This is due to their large head that increases their load-bearing area. They are also ideal for situations where nearby rivets and structures make it impossible to accommodate round heads. Load-bearing area is the region that the load-bearing structure can reliably hold up. There are many different kinds of rivet materials. Always match the rivet to the type of metal you're attaching whenever possible. For example, aluminum metal should be fastened with aluminum rivets. If you're fastening leather with a rivet, always use copper, aluminum, or brass. Steel rivets will rust due to leather's tendency to retain moisture. Steel mandrels have a tendency to corrode, and can also create a reaction with surrounding materials. Avoid purchasing rivets that are made from steel mandrels paired with a stainless steel or aluminum body. Purchase a variety pack for a wide selection of rivets of different sizes and materials." is Opt for blind rivets instead of solid rivets. Select multi-grip rivets for situations that require high-strength fastening. Purchase sealed rivets when you need a tight seal that resists leaking. Select interlock rivets for situations that require high-strength fastening. Purchase dome head rivets for standard materials and situations. Opt for flat head rivets to ensure a flush, tight fit. Select a rivet made from the same material as the metal you're joining.

Passage: Instruments that have been used need to be collected and removed from the area where they were used. Take them to the area where you decontaminate things in your environment, such as a Decontamination Area in a Processing Department. This will help cut down on the chance of the contamination of the personal areas or other surfaces within the work space. The instruments should be covered when they are being moved in covered carts, containers, or plastic bags. Instruments must be cleaned immediately after use and before you attempt to sterilize them — cleaning the instruments is not the same as sterilizing them. Remove inorganic and organic debris from the instruments with a soft plastic scrub brush and medically approved detergent. Scrub each instrument well to remove all residual matter, such as blood or organic tissue. If the instrument is hinged or opens, make sure you clean hinges along with inside and outside surfaces. After you scrub them, you need to run the instruments under pressured water to make sure any extra material is off. This helps clean areas unable to be reached by brushes, ie tubings. If instruments are not cleaned beforehand, the process of sterilization, may not be successful and compromise the instrument tray. There are solutions approved for soaking instruments. Your facility will have them on hand with proper instructions for their use. When not cleaned properly, it may affect the health of the patient. There are automatic washers that you can use, but their use depends on the facility and location of the cleaning process. After cleaning the instruments, place them back in their wire tray to receive a brief autoclaving prior to being sent for repackaging. Again, cleaning the instruments is not meant to sterilize them. This step just prepares them for sterilization. Sterilization will destroy all microorganisms on the surface of the instrument, preventing infection. Use caution when handling sharp items like scissors, blades, and other sharp implements. If an instrument is disposable, you should dispose of it properly and do not try to wash and reuse it. Some instruments may be packaged in sterile bags, but are not considered disposable themselves., Summary: Move the instruments. Clean instruments immediately after use. Rinse the instruments.

Passage: The player who chose the letter closest to “A” gets to play the first word. The word must use at least two tiles and it must be placed across the star square in the center of the board. The word can be laid out in a vertical or horizontal fashion, but it cannot be diagonal. When calculating the first word score, keep in mind that the player who places the first word gets to double his or her total score because the star counts as a Premium Square with a double word bonus. For example, if the total value of the first word played was 8, then the player would receive a score of 16. After you have put down a word, make sure that you count up your points. Add up the points on the lower right corner of each of the tiles you laid down. If you placed a tile on a Premium Square, adjust your score as indicated by the Premium Square. For example, if you place a word over a square that says “Double Word” on it, then you should double the total value of your word. If you place a tile over a square that says “Double Letter”, then you should double the value of that letter tile only when you calculate your score. After each of your turns, you will need to draw as many new tiles as you just played. For example, if you played three of your tiles to form a word during your turn, then you need to draw three new tiles at the end of your turn. Place these new tiles on your rack and pass the bag to the next player. On your next turn, you will have to add onto the words that your opponents have just played. That means that you cannot just create a freestanding word on the board, all of the tiles must be connected. As you build onto the words that your opponents have played, make sure that you consider all of the connected tiles. Your addition to the board must create at least one new word, but if you connect to other tiles, from other directions, then you need to make sure that you are creating valid words with these connections. It is a good idea to consider multiple plays during each of your turns and to go with the play that will gain you the most points. Look for opportunities to incorporate Premium Squares and high value letters like “Z” and “Q” into your plays. Available Premium Squares include: Double Letter Score: This means that a letter placed on this square receives double the number of points that are shown on the letter. Double Word Score: This means that a word that is made that includes the letter that is placed on this square receives double the number of points that it otherwise would. Triple Letter Score: This means that a letter placed on this square receives three times the number of points that are shown on the letter. Triple Word Score: This means that a word that is made that includes the letter that is placed on this square receives triple the number of points that it otherwise would. If you think that a player has played a word that does not exist or that another player has misspelled a word, then you can challenge that player. When you challenge a player, you look up the word in the dictionary. If the word is in the dictionary and the player has spelled it correctly, then the word stays and the player gets the points. The challenger loses his or her turn. If the word is not in the dictionary or the player has spelled it incorrectly, then the player must remove the word from the board. The player gains no points and loses that turn. At some point during the game, you may decide that you want to exchange some or all of your tiles for new ones. You can use a turn to get new tiles. Just discard the tiles that you no longer want into the bag, shuffle the bag and draw the number of tiles that you discarded. Just keep in mind that you cannot play a word in addition to drawing new tiles, this will count as your turn., Summary: Gather your supplies. Wash your hands. Check for infection. Wash the cord. Dry the cord.

Context: Whether you’re taking a standardized test or a classroom examination, you will likely be able to find out the format of the test beforehand. Knowing the test’s format will help you study, as well as give you ideas about how to approach the materials. If you’re told that there will be three essay questions, for example, that will ask you to connect the larger theme of the course to specific texts that you’ve read in the class, you know to begin thinking about thesis statements. Or if your instructor says that there will be 15 multiple choice questions and 15 true/false questions, you understand that your focus should be much more specific, probably focusing on facts and dates. If you’re taking a standardized test such as the GRE or the SAT, there are plenty of study guides available. Almost every current study guide will have practice tests, study materials, and approaches to taking the test. Typically these guides offer simulated exams as well, so that you can simulate the examination and your performance. Your school or local library may have study guides available for use within the library. You might find used copies of these guides online for a dramatically reduced price. You can also make your own study guide by compiling your notes and homework from class. Taking practice exams is a great way to familiarize yourself with the layout of the test and the kind of questions you'll be asked. Practice answering essay questions well before your test if you have a good source of feedback available, such as a writing center or your professor has agreed to look over your essays for you. Doing so will show you what part of your essay writing you need to develop, as well as help you get comfortable answering a question in prose. The more you practice, the more efficient and quick you will become. Your instructor might give you example essay questions if you ask for them. These might include questions from previous exams or simply questions that they think would serve as good practice. Do no assume that your institution’s writing center or your professor will look over practice essays for you. Instead, respectfully ask if they are willing to review your practice essays and offer feedback. Devote extra study time to working on your weakest areas. This will help you out in a few ways. You’ll be better prepared for material that isn’t your strong suit, and you’ll also spend much less time worrying about the information when you encounter it on the exam. Additionally, by studying your weakest areas, you’ll develop strategies for handling the material efficiently and quickly. A good example is the GRE’s verbal portion of the examination. Many people find this component especially challenging and devote extra time to studying flash cards, as well as developing strategies for word meanings, antonyms, and synonyms. If you make your own study guide, devote a lot of it to your weakest points so that you're focusing on these areas the most when you study. Create a study schedule that is realistic and is one to which you will commit. This ensures that you’re devoting enough time to studying, and also establishes a pattern for you, which will help you manage your time when you get into the actual examination. There are free study calendar templates available for download from the internet. Some printed student calendars also have a study schedule feature built in to the calendar itself., Summary: Choose a piece of paper.

The answer of "Summarize the following Load your sprayer with your chosen automotive clear coat lacquer, as per the product instructions, and spray on a coat in the same side-to-side, top-down manner. Allow the clear coat to cure as directed, then sand and wipe down the finish as previously. After that, add 1-2 more coats of clear coat, based on the manufacturer’s guidance. For the best results, practice spraying the clear coat on your scrap surface first. Remove any painter’s tape or masking material from the vehicle about 10 minutes after applying the final clear coat layer. The paint and clear coat will likely be dry to the touch within 24 hours. However, for the best results, allow the finish to cure for up to 7 days, as directed by the manufacturer. Store the vehicle where you painted it and prevent dust accumulation as much as possible. Don’t move things around in the workspace or tear down any of the protective plastic sheeting. Just stay out of the area to prevent kicking up dust! Start with 1200 or 1600-grit wet/dry sandpaper, and use the same gentle technique as before to sand down any imperfections. Wipe down the sanded areas with damp cloths (again, as before), then follow up with 1600 or 2000-grit sandpaper to even out the finish in these areas. This is delicate work, so sand gently and carefully. Otherwise, you may have to repaint a few spots that you’ve sanded down too far. Wipe down the entire car once again after doing the final sanding. by hand or machine to bring out the gloss. You’ll get the best results by hand, but buffing machines and power polishers can make the job much quicker. Proper buffing requires a careful technique and a good bit of practice, so you may want to let a pro handle this step if you’re not experienced. Improper buffing can remove the paint finish that you’ve worked so hard to add. For the best results, you’ll have to re-mask the car and make multiple buffing passes over the entire vehicle. Make sure to wear your safety equipment." is Spray on 2 coats of clear coat lacquer, with sanding and wiping in between. Give your paint job up to 1 week to fully cure. Sand away any minor imperfections in the finish coat. Buff the car

The answer of "Summarize the following Most kittens like the comfort of being held and stroked by their human parent. It can mimic the comfort its mother gives and has the benefit of socializing it and helping it develop optimally. Handle your kitten gently. Pick it up using both hands so that it is supported and won’t fall. Avoid picking it up by the neck to minimize the risk of injuring it. Hold your kitten in your arm like a baby—it may not want to be on its back, but can also lie in your arm by snuggling its nose into the crook of your elbow. Put a blanket in your arm for your kitten to snuggle into. Avoid putting a blanket over your kitten, which might scare it. Either when you pick it up or if it is next to you, stroke or pet your kitten gently. This may calm it and stop it from crying and can help form a strong bond between you. Focus on petting your kitten’s head and neck and under its chin. Avoid your kitten's tail or any other area that seems sensitive. Make sure to not pet it with too much force. Brush your kitten twice a week or more often if it likes that. Interaction is an important part of a kitten’s development and bonding experience with you. Talk to your kitten if it cries and whenever you interact with it, which lets it know that you’re communicating with it, too. Talk to your kitten when you pet and hold it, or feed it, or whenever it approaches you. Keep your tone soft and don’t yell, which can scare it. Say things that include its name and praise your kitten. For example, “do you want me to pick you up, Sam? Aw, you like that a lot don’t you? You’re such a good and sweet kitten.” Play is another important part of a kitten’s development and bonding experience with you. Crying may signal that your kitten wants attention and playing is a good way to provide it. Have a supply of age-appropriate toys for your kitten like balls and larger toy mice it can’t swallow. Keep a scratching pad on hand, too. Toss a ball back and forth to your kitten. Wrap a toy around a string and let her chase it. Make sure to watch your kitten and store the toy where it can’t reach it when you’re not playing. Kittens can eat strings which can cause major intestinal issues or even death. Giving your kitten a cozy place to sleep can help comfort and calm it, which could help with its crying. You can purchase a cat bed or line a box with a soft towel or blanket. Consider lining the bed with an item you’ve used like a sweatshirt or even blanket. This will help your kitten get used to your scent. Kittens need nutritious food to support their growing bodies and promote their health. Giving your kitten enough to eat may help it to stop crying. Moisten your kitten’s canned food with milk replacer up to 10 weeks. It should be about the consistency of oatmeal. This is especially useful is it was weaned early or orphaned. Avoid regular milk because this might upset your kitten’s stomach. Put your kitten’s food in ceramic or metal bowls. Some kittens may be sensitive to plastic. Have a separate bowl of fresh water available for your kitten. Make sure your kitten’s food and water are fresh and that the bowls are clean. Cats and kittens are very sensitive about cleanliness, especially of their litter boxes. Keep your kitten’s litter box clean and available to it, which may also stop your kitten from crying. Make sure the litter box is small enough so that your kitten can easily get in and out of it. Use low-dust unscented litter. Scoop any material out as soon as you can. Do it daily to encourage your kitten to use it. Place the litter box away from your kitten's food. Kittens don’t like their food near their litter. If your vet determines that your kitten is crying because it is sick, give your kitten any medications and treatments your vet prescribed. These can help your kitten heal and may stop excessive crying or meowing. Make sure your kitten gets its full course of medication. Ask you vet any questions you have about administering the medication with as little trauma to your kitten as possible Unless you know for certain that your kitten wants something from you it can’t have, avoid ignoring its needs. Your kitten may not have access to its litter or may be out of water. Likewise, don’t scold your kitten for crying too much.

Passage: Withdrawing or pushing people away will only make it harder for you to get over heartbreak. Talk to people about what you’re going and get support, encouragement, or advice. Say, “I’m having a hard time accepting the breakup. Can you talk?” If you’re having trouble coming to terms with the breakup or you’re struggling with anxiety or depression, a professional counselor can help. A counselor can help you work through your feelings and develop healthy ways to cope. Ask your family doctor, loved ones, or friends for recommendations of counselors in your area. Write a letter detailing everything that happened or talk to an empty chair and pretend the person who hurt you is sitting in it. You might also repeat forgiveness affirmations, like “I am choosing to let go of pain and resentment. I forgive so I can make room for abundance in the future.” The last thing you might want to do is forgive the person who broke your heart, but forgiveness is for you, not them. It allows you to let go the pain so you can open your heart for future possibilities. Dwelling on the breakup and rehashing everything that went wrong won’t help you move on. Instead of ruminating, strive to remain future-focused. Ask yourself: how can I use what I’ve learned to improve my future? For example, if keep beating yourself up because you slept with the person who broke your heart, you might make the choice to postpone physical intimacy in future relationships— at least until you feel sure the person is willing to commit to you. You could also think about how you grew from the relationship. Ask yourself, "What did I learn here? How have I grown as a person?" Jot down a few things at the end of each day that you are happy about or thankful for. This is a powerful practice because it helps you center your thoughts on the positive things in your life. You might write something like, “I’m grateful for my friends who help distract me from the breakup, my job because it keeps me busy, and my dog who is a loyal companion.”, Summary: Confide in people you trust. Meet with a counselor. Do a forgiveness ritual. Focus on the lessons you’ve learned. Write in a gratitude journal.

The answer of "Summarize the following Once you've had discharge, you should start thinking about being prepared. It might be a good idea to create a mini kit for yourself, small enough to take anywhere you go (such as school). Get a starter kit targeted at tweens and teens; check your local pharmacy. Most girls' first periods are light, so maybe have some normal or "lil lets teen" pads. Everyone is different, so just in case your period comes heavy, it may be a good idea to have a couple heavy pads just in case. It's a good idea to wait until you've had a few periods and/or are comfortable with them before you start wearing tampons." is Start the preparations. Know what to use for your first period. If you think your period may start soon, you may want to start wearing pantyliners, just in case you start when you don't expect to. Keep a pad in your pocket or bag at all times.

Q: Summarize the following: The layout of the board in level 76 is different from other levels. Instead of entering from the top of the board and dropping down to the bottom, the candies in level 76 enter at the top of the 4x4 area in the lower-left corner. When they reach the bottom of this area, they enter the large area on the right. Then when the reach the bottom of the area on the right, they enter the area in the top-left. This affects everything from how pieces fall, to how special candies work. If you find the flow of the board confusing, think of the bottom-left area like the top of the board. The large right area is the middle of the board, and the top-right area is the bottom of the board. You only have 33 turns on this level. This means you need to move as much candy with each move. Luckily, the top-left area will move a lot more candy. If you have no significant moves in the upper-left area, focus on the area to the right. Moving candies in the bottom-left corner will move the least amount of candy. New ingredients usually enter the level when the old ones on the board are cleared (though they will sometimes drop at random) This means that it's in your interest to clear each cherry as quickly as possible. Remember that in level 76, the exit is at the bottom of the top-left area, not at the bottom of the board. Get the ingredients to drop to the exit as quickly as possible. This will clear candies on the left side, but not the right. Try to set off vertical striped candies on either of the areas on the left side that are in the same column as your cherries. This will move your cherries four spaces towards the exit - not bad. Striped candies and wrapped/striped combos are not affected by the flow of the board. If you set off a vertical striped candy in the left area, it will hit candies in the two left areas. It will not hit any candies on the right. Wrapped candies can be a huge help in this level if you're able to maneuver them into the top left area. Since they clear a 3 x 3 square twice, setting one off in the right place can move your candy up to six squares towards the exit, which is quite good. Wrapped candies won't fall through teleports unless the candies "underneath" them on the other side get cleared for some other reason. In other words, if you set off a wrapped candy in the bottom row of the right area, it will clear the candies around it, but it won't fall into the top left area. Though rare, a wrapped/wrapped combo in the top left area is even better. Since the 5 x 5 explosion will clear most of the entire top left area twice, any cherries on the board can potentially move up to eight spaces towards the exit. This will often be enough to clear them off the board entirely. Though this isn't a hard and fast rule, opportunities for moving the ingredients into the two center columns and away from the edges are things you should keep an eye out for. This provides you with the most possible combinations for keeping the ingredients moving downwards and off the board. It's also good to get into the habit of moving ingredients away from the edges on all ingredient levels. When you mix a striped candy and a wrapped candy, you'll create a combo which clears three rows and three columns in a cross pattern. This can be very useful on this particular game board, especially if you're lucky enough to hit the candies in the top left area with it. However, this needs to be done as quickly as possible, so as not to use up moves. Perhaps the single most useful combo you can get in this level (besides the extra-rare color bomb/color bomb combo) is to combine a color bomb and a striped candy. This will create random striped candies all over the board on the candies that are the same color as the striped candy you used. Generally, this will clear most if not all of the board very quickly, which often means you'll clear one or more cherries off the board in a single move. Color bombs work the same on level 76 as they do on other levels., A: Study the layout of the board. Focus on the top left and right areas. Bring ingredients to the exit quickly to drop more ingredients. Use vertical striped candy on the left side of the board. Try to set off wrapped candies in the top-left area. Keep ingredients in the middle of the board, away from the edges. Shoot for a striped/wrapped combo. Shoot for a color bomb/striped combo.

Context: Use a straight razor blade or a craft knife to remove any threading that may be surrounding the rod guide. If it’s difficult to remove using just a blade, then try heating the area for 3-4 seconds with a lighter to loosen any of the adhesives. Peel off the tape and unwind the threading until the old, broken guide comes off of the rod. Rod guides are the circular metal pieces along the length of the rod that help keep your line straight. Be careful not to heat the rod for too long since it could cause damage to it. Don’t cut into the rod with your razor, or else you could damage it and make it weaker. Use 120- or 220-grit sandpaper to get rid of any leftover adhesive and to add tooth to the rod. Rub all the way around the rod on the spot where you want to place the new guide. Then, use your sandpaper on the foot of the guide, which is the flat part that rests against the fishing rod. You can buy new fishing guides at sporting good stores. Make sure the new guide is the same size and style as the other guides on your fishing rod or else your line may snag or get tangled. Press the foot of the new guide onto the rod so it’s in line with the other guides. Rip off a thin piece of masking tape and wrap it around the foot so it’s held in place. That way, you don’t need to keep holding it in place while you wrap it. You can also use super glue, but it will be difficult to move or readjust once the glue is set. Any type of thread will work for wrapping your guide onto the rod. Loop your threading around the rod so it’s 1⁄2–3⁄4 inch (1.3–1.9 cm) from the guide’s foot on the side closest to the handle. Maintain tension on the loop and start tightly winding the thread around the rod. Make sure the thread doesn’t overlap with loops you’ve already made and that they are flush with one another. Take the piece of tape off of the foot you’ve wrapped everything below it. When your wrapping is 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm) from the circular part of the guide, stop winding the thread around the pole. Cut a separate piece of thread so it’s about 6 inches (15 cm) long and fold it in half to form a loop. Lay the second piece of thread on top of your wrapping so the loop sticks out near your guide. If you don’t have any other thread, you can also use a thin fishing line instead. Once the looped piece of thread is on top of the wrapping, continue spinning your thread around the foot of the guide. Continue wrapping the final 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm) of the guide so the middle of the looped piece is held against the rod. Once you reach the end of your wrapping, cut the end of the thread you used to wrap and pull it through the middle of the loop. Pull the other end of the looped piece down and away from the guide to pull the thread underneath the wrapping. This way, the wrapping is secured to the rod without having to tie a knot. If you don’t want to use a looped piece of thread, you can also try tying a knot in the threading, but it may not be as strong and it could be more difficult. Mix the 2 parts of the epoxy in a small dish with a paintbrush until they are thoroughly combined. Paint a thin layer of the epoxy over your threading so it hardens and stays in place. Keep the rod horizontal and let it dry overnight before you try using your rod again. Work quickly with the epoxy since it will quickly start to dry and harden once you mix it., Summary: Cut the tape or thread around the broken guide with a razor blade. Sand the rod and foot of the new guide to get better adhesion. Tape the new guide onto the rod so it’s aligned. Wrap the foot of the guide with thread to hold it in place. Place a looped piece of thread over the wrap when there’s 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) left. Wrap the final 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) over the second piece of thread. Feed the thread through the looped piece and pull it tight. Paint 2-part epoxy onto the thread and let it dry.

Passage: There is a “go to” command for almost any skill in horse riding. A good rider and well trained horse know these commands. The half halt is the key command for bit training. Half halt may be a bit of a misnomer. Instead, think of it as half start or half go. The half halt is how you change your horse’s direction or gait. You don’t stop, you simply shift to another activity. It’s a combination of leg pressure and pull on the rein. A horse that’s on the bit will respond quickly and naturally to half halt command to change speed or direction. A horse that is not on the bit will fight, feel unbalanced, or respond incorrectly to the change. This is an easy method to train half halt. You’ll need to slow the horse slightly by squeezing both calves and sitting lower in the saddle. Then, use the rein to shift the pressure on the bit slightly to one side. Allow the horse to follow all the way through the curve and straighten out facing the opposite direction. Then, perform the same change to go back the other direction. Do not pull the horse from the front. Use gentle pressure to tell them where you want them to go, and allow the horse to proceed. This is one of the most difficult maneuvers to teach your horse. It’s best to start out of the saddle, and simply lead the horse first in a large, gentle circle. Then, shift to a smaller circle. Next, switch to performing this circle in the saddle. Again, begin with a larger circle, and bring the circle in as your horse seems more comfortable. Going in a larger circle is also safer for your horse and less stressful and damaging to his joints and tendons. If you will be working on the circle for a while, then use the largest circle diameter possible. Try going onto a 20 meter (65.6 ft) circle, bending the horse around your inside leg. When your horse can do this easily, it is responding well on the bit. As your horse bends around your inside leg, make sure that it is still stepping with its hind legs and moving forward into the bit. With practice, you will notice that the horse reaches into your hands, seeking the contact, and accepting the bit. This is not something you or your horse can learn in one day. It takes time, effort, and flexibility to build a connection with your horse. Being on the bit must come from behind, not from the front. This means it’s your horse’s choice to follow instruction, and not that you’re pulling the horse through the bit., Summary: Cut down 7 water bottles, with one of them being taller than the rest. Decorate the bottles. Arrange the shorter bottles around the taller one. Pull out the first bottle and draw a vertical line of hot glue down the side. Quickly replace the bottle, and press it gently against the taller bottle. Wrap a piece of ribbon or colorful tape around the middle of the bottle bundle. Consider decorating the caddy further.

The summary of "One of the most reliable ways to survive school while pregnant is to have on-campus health support. Visit the school nurse and ask what sorts of aid are available. Unless you study at a university with its own hospital, you are unlikely to have all your health needs taken care of on campus. Visit a regular doctor for other needs. If you are a teenager, you are at a higher risk for pregnancy complications such as anemia, premature birth, and high blood pressure. If your parents have health insurance that covers dependents, you may be covered by their plan until you are 26. Discuss the terms of your parents' health insurance policy to determine whether or not you are covered. If getting on your parents' insurance plan is not an option (maybe you are not on good terms or you aren't covered), you will need to seek out your own insurance. Giving birth qualifies you to apply for government insurance even after the deadline for Open Enrollment (or the period during which you can sign up for insurance) has passed. If you enroll up to 60 days after giving birth, your insurance will begin the day of the event. So, if you give birth on March 15, 2016 and enroll on May 14, 2016, you coverage applies from March 15 to the end of the year (December 31, 2016). If you are unable to work or afford the monthly payments for insurance, you may be eligible for Medicaid through your state. If you receive Medicaid, your infant will automatically be eligible for coverage as well. Each state has its own requirements for eligibility, so you will need to contact your local Medicaid office to find out if you qualify. Try searching here for an office near you. While you wait for your government insurance, visit a free clinic. They may have resources your school doesn't have, such as classes for expecting parents and material assistance. Most towns have women's health centers or family services centers you can visit. Being pregnant and in school is a lot of work. You will need your friends to help you out in ways they never have. If your friends have not been pregnant or helped someone who is pregnant, they may not pick up quickly on your new needs. Communicate clearly about things you need. You may need help with food, with errands, and with getting around. Create a schedule and ask your friends to sign up for shifts. If you are in middle or high school, you also may need help socially, as some people won’t "get it." Ask your friends to stand up for you if they hear someone spreading rumors or calling you names. Tell your best friends exactly what you're going through. If student pregnancy is unusual at your school, you will have to spell out your needs to your friends. Tell them what you are worried about, what you need, and that you appreciate their support. If you don't have supportive friends, see if you can join a local meet up group for new parents. You'll meet people who have gone through what you are going through. Your mood may become more variable during pregnancy, which can affect your performance in school. Depression might happen during pregnancy, and is very common afterward. If you find yourself to be unusually sad, have thoughts of hurting yourself, or feelings of hopelessness, report this to your doctor like you would a physical pain. Ask your doctor for help finding a therapist or a social worker to get you through your depression. If you are facing familial rejection for your pregnancy, you will need to find a place to live in your area. Ask your counselor or social worker to help you find a group home for pregnant teens and teen parents that will not require you to move far from your school. If you are escaping an abusive relationship with your partner or family, you may need to stay in a secret location. Contact your social worker or local police and ask for help if you are being physically harmed or endangered." is Wet your lips just enough to soften them. Close your lips. Push your lips out a little. Press your lips lightly against his skin. Pull away in less than one second.

Context: If your meat has been in the freezer longer than you can remember, you'll probably want to toss it, just to be on the safe side. If not, there are some telltale signs your food has gone bad. The meat looks discolored. There’s a nasty smell coming from the packaging. The package shows signs of freezer burn (ice on the inside). Though it is possible to defrost meat without a container, you'll save yourself a lot of clean up time by using one. Typically, glass bowls are the best, safest containers to use in a microwave. If you’re planning to use a plastic container, check out the original packaging to make sure it's safe for microwave use. Some other items considered unsafe for the microwave include brown paper bags, aluminum foil, and single-use plastic containers (ex: the kind that take-out food comes in). Basically, if you're not sure, don't use it. If the meat is still in its original packaging, it probably has a label that tells you exactly how much it weighs. If it doesn't, you’ll need to weigh it yourself. The best tool for weighing meat is a kitchen scale, which gives more specific weights (down to fractions of a lb/kg) than bigger scales. Many materials used to package frozen meats should definitely not be microwaved, so be sure to toss everything but the meat itself before you begin cooking., Summary: Check the meat for signs of spoilage. Find a microwave-safe container. Weigh the meat. Remove the meat from its wrapper.

Passage: Take a section of ginger root and peel away the outer layer with a vegetable peeler. Next, use a small knife to cut away a 1 inch (2.5 cm) cube of fresh ginger. You’re only making 1 cup of tea with this recipe, so you don’t need to include a lot of the actual root. You can find fresh ginger root at most grocery stores., Summary: Know the average shelf life of bread. Use high-quality freezer bags. Freeze a loaf properly to ensure its quality remains. Store your bread the right way before and after freezing. Use frozen bread in a timely manner.

The summary of "Keep in mind that Germans tend to be more formal and polite than Americans, so it's better to air on the side of caution. Here are some appropriate ways to greet someone. Guten Tag - Hello (formal)/Good day Guten Abend - Hello (formal)/Good evening Hallo - Hello (informal) Remember to remain formal here, too, until you know someone well. Germans distinguish between the informal you and the formal one, so be sure to keep it in mind. Hallo, ich bin_______. Freut mich, Sie kennenzulernen - Hello, I'm______. It's nice to meet you Wie heißen Sie? - What's your name? Wie geht es Ihnen? - How are you? Mir geht es gut, danke - I'm well, thank you Woher kommen Sie? - Where are you from? Ich komme aus_______. - I'm from _______ As mentioned, Germans tend to pay close attention to formalities and you don't want to stick out in a negative way. Auf Wiedersehen - Good-bye (quite formal) Tschüß - Bye (rather informal) Bis bald - See you soon Keep these short phrases in mind as they'll come in handy for various situations. Entschuldigung - Excuse me Ich möchte gern______ - I'd like to______ Vielen Dank - Thank you very much Nein, danke - No, thank you Verzeihen Sie - Forgive me/excuse me (quite formal) Ja, gerne - Yes, I'd like that Natürlich - Of course Es tut mir leid - I'm sorry/I apologize" is Greet someone politely, even if you know them well.

The summary of "Tell your audience, "Watch and learn! I'm going to make this pen magically disappear before your very eyes." If you want to make a spectacle of it (which is all the more entertaining), assure your audience that this is just a normal pen. Wave it around a bit, flick it with your finger, and bounce it up and down. Give them time to get ready for your magic skills. In this trick, for it to be convincing, it's a good idea to count out loud and gesture with your other hand. This is visually and aurally distracting from what you're actually doing. Tap the pen against your left hand as if that somehow makes the pen disappear-able. The more of a routine you make it, the more impressive the trick will be. You need to be facing perpendicular to your spectator's line of sight. This way whoever is watching cannot see the pen as you hold it near your ear next to the side of your head. This is mainly building up suspense. Once it's beside your head take it back to it's originally position, as if teasing your audience. You can keep count, saying one, two, and then make it vanish on the third go. It takes a lot of work to make a pen disappear – you've gotta rev up! This part of the trick you can milk however you'd like. You could act like you have to warm the pen up, shake it out, or roll it between your hands to get the trick to work. Your friends will never know! Now comes the actual work. As you raise your hand for the third time, carefully and without losing a beat, place it behind your ear. You must do this smoothly and while focusing on your hand in front of you. The counting is important to help you keep the timing exactly the same each time you raise your pen-holding hand. Try to perform every raising quickly to prevent detection. Bam! The pen is gone! Smugly show both sides of your hands and that the pen is nowhere to be found. Just be careful not to turn your head, showing the pen. Whatever you do, don't seem like you don't want to turn your head to face your audience head on. If you don't want to do more tricks or run out of time, simply say you're going to tie your shoelace and bend down; if they look away, quickly pull the pen from behind your ear. If you do want to make a show of it, hold your hands against your head as if this great psychic exertion pains you greatly. While clutching your head in agony, slide the pen into your hand and produce it from wherever you see fit." is Tell the truth. Use a "compliment sandwich". Be direct. Treat the person with respect. Communicate effectively.

Passage: The small bushes that the beans will grow on will quickly become laden with heavy pods, and will sag over without the proper support. For this reason, it's important to plant stakes along your broad bean row to use to support them when they start to gain height. Use small dowels spaced every foot or two along the row, with twine tied between, to give the plants something to lean on. You can use twine, or old strips of bed-sheet to gently tie the plants and keep them upright and keep the pods off the ground. Don't wait until you've got a huge plant and it's flopping over to stake them. It's very easy to damage the roots and promote mildew if the plant spends too much time flopped over on the ground before getting staked up. Broad beans can withstand dry spells, but keep the plants well-watered, especially if you live in an especially warm climate. Water the soil deeply in the coolest part of the day–first thing in the morning, or in the evening after dinner–and avoid over watering. You shouldn't see a bunch of standing water around your broad beans. Avoid overhead watering, which is watering the tops of the plants and letting it drip down into the soil. This will promote mildew and other problems. Water the soil. Broad bean roots are relatively shallow, making it very easy to accidentally uproot them if you're careless with a hoe. Weed around your broad beans by hand, keeping the area competition-free. Once the plant is established, you can lighten up on the weeding some. The plant will keep growing and will overproduce unless you stunt the growth by pinching off the new sprouts at the top of the plant as soon as you seen pods producing. At this point, you can harvest some of the leaves to eat, which are a surprisingly tender salad green. Pinch out the growing tips when you see young beans appearing at the base. Remove the tips with two leaves attached from the tops of the plants. If you don't want to eat them, compost them. If you've got problems with rodents, groundhogs, rabbits, or other pests messing with your garden, broad beans would be a good candidate for row cover, if necessary. Row covers are plastic or cloth sheets that you can stake gently, draped over the plants. This leaves enough room for growth and air circulation, and also warmth. Row covers can also be a great idea if you're planting in the autumn, because it will help trap the heat near the ground and protect the plants from frost. If you use a row cover, leave the rows uncovered for a while in the middle of the day, maybe while you're weeding to let the air circulate more readily. Watch for fungal disease and wet rot at the base of the plants. If you see any whitish or yellowish patches, water them less and expose the plants to more air. . Aphids love bean plants and will congregate usually at the top of the plants, near new shoots and buds. Some gardeners like to use insecticidal spray to keep aphids off the plants, but an easier method involves cutting the tops off the plants where the aphids congregate as you see them. If you're a diligent gardener, you should be able to pinch them off before they do much damage., Summary: Clean any parts of the wall that you plan to repair. File away any rough edges. Hose the wall down to get rid of dust or dirt. Wait for the wall to dry off before repairing it.

Q: Summarize the following: If you're not using it, why have it on? Switch off everything you don't need -- it saves power and it's a lower electricity bill for you! Before you walk out the door, make a quick scan a habit. Even better, unplug it. Leaving devices plugged in, such as laptop chargers or toasters, can eat up "phantom" energy. Even when an appliance is turned off, it may still use power. Electricity production accounts for more than one-third of U.S. global warming emissions, with the majority generated by coal-fired power plants (which produce approximately 25 percent of total U.S. emissions). In contrast, most renewable energy sources produce little to no global warming emissions. So go for an upgrade now. Install solar panels or sky lights in your home. The power of the sun will light up your home -- no more unflattering fluorescent lighting on your turf. Innovative programs around the country now make it possible for all environmentally conscious energy consumers to support renewable energy directly by participating in the "green" power market. Contact your local power company to see if they participate in the program. Let your local representatives know that this is an issue that you (and your friends and family) care about. With enough pressure, your government will take strides to helping take care of our home that they may not do unprompted. Compact fluorescent or LED light bulbs may cost more initially, but they last much, much longer. Two decades could pass before you need to buy a new one. Really. LEDs (a little more so than CFLs) are much more efficient than incandescent bulbs; the old kind uses a vacuum/filament method that's up to 85% worse for energy-saving. If every home in America made just one switch, the equivalent amount of energy saved would light 3 million homes for the year. Helping the planet isn't just about electricity -- it's about water, too. There are many ways you can help the planet just by changing your habits at home. Take shorter showers. The average American uses 25,300 gallons (95,770.9 L) of water a year (69.3 gallons daily). An average shower uses about 5 gallons (18.9 L) of water per minute. If you shorten your shower by 2 minutes, you can cut your water use by 10 gallons (37.9 L). You can further reduce your water consumption by turning the water off while soaping. Turn off the water or run it lighter. While you're shaving, washing your hands, or doing dishes, you don't need to run the water all the time. While you're lathering up, turn it off. Your good habits will accumulate to a huge amount of over time. Wash full loads of laundry and dishes. You'll run your appliances less (and hey, less electricity, too!), consuming less water on a weekly basis. While you're at it, instead of using your dryer, hang your clothes out on the clothesline to dry. When you have windows and fans, why use the air conditioner? If you don't absolutely have to (and most times, you don't), skip the AC. It consumes a lot of unnecessary power. And if it's winter, bundle up! Lower the thermostat for that excuse to cuddle up in a blanket with a glass of hot cocoa. Your body will adjust in no time., A: Switch off and unplug. Opt for renewable energy sources. Change your light bulbs. Conserve water. Cut down on the air conditioning.

Context: It’s really painful to feel rejected by your parents, but your relationship can get better. Counseling may help you communicate better with your parents. Additionally, your counselor may help you all understand things from each other’s perspective. Tell your parents that you want to improve your relationship and ask them to make an appointment for counseling. Even if your parents don’t want to talk to a counselor, consider getting individual counseling for yourself. If you’re in high school or college, you can probably talk to a school counselor for free. Your parents might try to forbid you from being anything but straight. Don’t get into an argument with them – you won’t win, and it might make the situation worse. Instead, calmly tell them that you aren’t going to change, but you still want a relationship with them. Say something like, “I understand that you don’t approve, and I’m not asking for permission. I’m just hoping for your acceptance and tolerance.” You are the one who has to live your life, so resolve to do it on your own terms, not your parents’. Your parents may be unhappy or even angry about your sexual orientation, but it’s not their place to make you behave or feel a certain way. However, remember that if you’re living in your parents’ house, they still have some say over your activities. If you’re worried about how coming out will affect your day-to-day life, it may be time to step out on your own., Summary: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle. Look at your triangle and determine which variables you know. Plug your values into the equation A=1/2bh and do the math.

Context: Life gets loud, stressful, and tense. When you're ready to pull the trigger on some serious leisure, set a block of time and keep it. Doing nothing on a regular basis is very healthy for your mind, body, and emotional life, especially if you find that you're really wearing yourself thin. Every now and then, it's okay. If you're feeling stressed and overwhelmed, you don't need to set aside hours and hours of nothingness, which would be impractical. Do nothing for 15 minutes every now and then, and you can seriously de-stress. Go somewhere you can escape, zone out, and find some peace. If you live in a small apartment, set aside a corner of a larger room with floor pillows, a softly scented candle and maybe a cozy throw. Wherever it is, make sure you can feel comfortable and calm. You don't have to be a monk sitting on top of a mountain in Japan to find peace and quiet. Hit up a quiet corner of the public park, or set out a deck chair in your backyard. Park your car in an empty lot and just sit there. If you're looking at your phone, you're doing something. Turn off your phone, computer, radio, television and any other means of sending or receiving calls or messages. These distractions will only keep you from enjoying the nothing. It can be nice to set an alarm, if necessary, so you can remind yourself when your period of "nothing time" is over. Some people pay good money for the experience of sensory deprivation, which is basically doing nothing in a dark tank set at your body temperature. While you might not be able to get it perfect, you can approximate the experience. Draw a warm bath and wait until it gets as close as possible to your body temperature. Turn off all the lights, put some earmuffs on, and try to float in the tub for a while. Trippy stuff. Zazen, commonly shortened "zen" is a kind of meditation known as "just sitting" meditation. If you ask Zen monks what they're doing during meditation, they would say, "Just sitting." There is no goal to sitting meditation, no end result. Doing nothing is sometimes a lot harder than doing something, and one of the central learnings of Zen is to just "do" whatever it is you're doing. When you're eating lunch, just eat lunch. When you're sitting, just sit. When you're collating data at work, just collate data at work. Meditation is not thinking. Meditation is allowing your thoughts to occur, unaffected. Let your thoughts of work, worries, family go - not by simply letting them go, but by watching them leave from a distance. Doing this not only allows your body to do nothing but your mind as well. Imagine that you're pulling the camera back away from your thoughts, watching them from a distance. Who's doing this watching? Keep pulling the camera back until you can't. Look for stillness. Don't be discouraged if you find your mind quite active in meditation. Buddhist monks dedicate their entire lives to freeing their minds. For now, shed your worries as much as you can and revel in feeling lighter and less encumbered. While this may not be "nothing," strictly speaking, some people find it easier to avoid distressing thoughts if their mind is focused on a rote activity. Try arranging a Zen garden, or stacking rocks, or engaging in a repetitive activity such as crocheting. Pay attention to only what your hands are doing, and don't allow other thoughts to intrude. . This process can help you achieve deep relaxation while doing nothing. Focus on relaxing each muscle group, from your face to your feet, slowly and with regular, even breaths., Summary: Put the frozen chicken breasts on a dish.

The answer of "Summarize the following If you recovered the ring from your ex and want to sell it, you should know that you won’t get what you paid for it originally. It’s unlikely that the store you purchased it from will take it back—most jewelry retailers charge up to 70% above market value, so they only make final sales—but you should still try to find the receipt in order to establish how much you or your ex paid for it in the first place. Even if you purchased the ring from a store that permits returns, you might not be able to take advantage of the policy If you’ve had the ring for over a year or made a unique engraving on it. If you’ve ransacked your house and can’t find the receipt, don’t despair yet! If you remember the store where you got it, you can try calling or visiting the store and seeing if they keep records of past transactions. They should be able to look up your ring by the credit card you used or a serial number carved into it. If you’ve retained the ring which your ex gave to you, you likely don’t have access to the original receipt. You can still get it appraised, though, in order to determine its value. The appraiser won't be able to tell you exactly what your ex paid for the ring, but they can give you an idea of what you can expect to earn from its sale. Stay away from appraisers who offer rock-bottom rates or determine fees based on a percentage of their appraisal value. Go instead for a reputable appraiser that charges by the hour or a single, flat fee. If your ring can’t be returned to the original store, you can explore your options at pawn shops and jewelry stores which accept secondhand items. Just make sure not to jump at the first offer: take the ring to several different shops and sellers in order to make sure you get the best price for your piece. Some pawnshops thrive off of dodgy business practices and cheating customers, so make sure you frequent only those places with good customer reviews and Better Business Bureau ratings. The secondhand buyer will only pay a fraction of what was originally spent on the ring, but you can try haggling with the store clerk in order to get a better price. Such clerks are professional deal-makers and are trying to give you as little as possible, so their first offer will probably not be their highest. If you’re squeamish about selling in person and don’t feel comfortable haggling, you can try selling your ring through auction websites, such as eBay. List a low starting bid but make sure you set a reserve price. This reserve price represents the lowest possible bid you’re willing to accept and protects you from a rock-bottom offer getting through. The most important thing to do to make your online auction item look appealing is to provide a good photograph and detailed product description. A dark, grainy picture or skimpy description will make prospective buyers reluctant to take the plunge and make a bid. Also be sure to clean your ring so that it looks its best in photos. Use a solution of warm water and dish soap, soak it for 20-40 minutes, and scrub with a toothbrush. If you can’t find a buyer anywhere else, your last resort is to sell it for scrap. You won’t get any money for the cut or craftsmanship of the ring, and you’ll only receive about 70-80% of its melt value, but the process is extremely simple and and requires minimal effort. Many buyers offer mail-in services to make the process maximally low-effort. Simply order a pre-addressed and paid envelope from the company’s website online and then drop it in the mailbox." is Commit to doing 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week.

Q: Summarize the following: Feel free to express your true opinions and personality. If your suitor sticks around, your company was found truly enjoyable. If another date doesn't come about, you may feel rejected, but this proves that you were just not meant to be. Being honest and being true to yourself can help you avoid wasting time while dating.

Passage: the area with desirable grass and cover plants. Suppress quackgrass by growing more vigorous plants around it. In a lawn, for instance, spread plenty of grass seeds to fill in gaps between the existing grass blades. You don’t need to till the new seed into the soil. This doesn’t get rid of the quackgrass right away, but the new growth may prevent it from spreading. To overseed a lawn, you need at least 2 lb (0.91 kg) of seed for every 1,000 sq ft (93 m2) of soil. You may need more seeds for other types of grass, such as bluegrass or ryegrass. Overseeding is a way to limit quackgrass without destroying existing greenery. It’s good for lawns and fields. If you don’t wish to save the existing plants, clear the soil through solarization or by applying an herbicide. the grass at least 2 times a day until the new seeds grow. Never let the seeds dry out, or else the grass won’t grow lush and full. Keep the first 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) of soil moist for about 14 days. The seeds will germinate, and after this point, water the lawn deeply about 2 or 3 times a week to keep it healthy. A lawn needs about 1 in (2.5 cm) of water per week. You may need to water it more often during warm weather. To ensure the grass gets enough rain, build a rain gauge. Also, try sticking your finger in the ground to see how far down the soil dries out. Adjust your lawnmower to a 3 in (7.6 cm) setting. Cut back the grass, as well as the quackgrass, as often as necessary. Keep the entire lawn around this height as much as possible. The good grass will eventually outgrow the quackgrass. You may need to mow the grass twice a week in order to prevent the quackgrass from overgrowing. Cutting the grass too short may cause the quackgrass to spread. It may grow faster and taller than the regular grass. In addition, slicing its root system causes it to divide into new plants. Choose a granular or fast-release fertilizer, add it to a spreader, then walk the spreader over your entire lawn. The nitrogen causes good grass to grow dark and thick, which in turn inhibits quackgrass. You need about 1⁄4 lb (0.11 kg) of fertilizer for every 1,000 sq ft (93 m2) of soil. Look at the numbers on the bags of fertilizer at the gardening center. The first number indicates the percentage of nitrogen in the mixture. An example of a fertilizer high in nitrogen is 18-6-12. During very dry weather, you do not need fertilizer unless you are able to provide enough water for the grass. The grass can’t absorb nitrogen without enough water. As your lawn flourishes, watch the patches of quackgrass get smaller every year. The leaves will blend in at first, but eventually the desirable plants fill in most of the yard space. Continue fertilizing, watering, and mowing your lawn to prevent new weeds from forming. Some quackgrass may survive for a long time. It is a very difficult plant to stop, but regular maintenance is the only way to eliminate it without more drastic measures. To speed up the process, try spreading a glyphosate herbicide onto quackgrass leaves. The herbicide will kill any other plants it touches, so apply it sparingly with a paint brush to reduce the damage., Summary: Overseed Water Mow the grass every week once it surpasses 3 in (7.6 cm) in height. Spread a nitrogen fertilizer every 2 weeks from spring until fall. Maintain the new growth every year until the quackgrass disappears.

The summary of "Introverts and extroverts think differently. Extroverts are more likely to “Do, Think, Do” pattern, while their introverted counterparts take more time to think before taking an action. No way is better than the other, but knowing how you personally think will help you streamline your own thinking patterns. Self-awareness has been tied to leadership, and leadership often reflects a person's ability to think on one's feet. You can become more self-aware by practicing self-reflection techniques. Being more self-aware will help you better understand the environment around you, and make it easier to think of solutions or answer more quickly. How to Self Reflect Use a journal to write down your thoughts, feelings and reactions to mental stimuli throughout your day. Understand how you solve problems by considering each step you take Think about what emotions you feel during day to day tasks (I.e. Do you feel frustration while performing a specific task at work?) Think about why you might be feeling that emotion. To more effectively think on your feet, you need to gather as much information as possible about the situation you are in. One simple way of doing this is by asking questions about the task at hand. This will help you compile more information and help to educate you on a particular situation. Ask things like: “I hear that you want a report written about this client. What are you concerned about, specifically?” ”You seem to be asking me about a project we finished last week. What was it that you wanted to know about it?” ”What do you mean by what you said?” (This can help you get not only a clearer understanding of what was said, but also give the speaker to think about what s/he wants from you). By being critical of presented information, you are more likely to pick up on weak points of a situation. This may help you to see solutions quicker. Don't take everything at face value. If you are asked to do a specific task or answer a specific question, try to gather as much facts about the situation before you make a decision. While the goal is to think quickly and on your feet, you still want to be accurate and understanding. If you are asked to think on your feet by giving an answer to something that seems to be too good to be true (for example, a sale) be skeptical! It may very well be too good to be true!" is Treat small promises with the same level of importance as big ones. Write your commitments down. Bridge the gap between abstract long term commitments and short term experiences. View your commitments as a privilege.

The summary of "Fire up the grill and let it begin warming up as you finish getting the sprouts ready. A moderate temperature (somewhere around 350–425 °F (177–218 °C)) will sear the outside of the sprouts nicely. Be sure to light both burners or sides of the grill so that the heat stays consistent. Scrub the grill grate thoroughly with a wire brush prior to cooking to remove any leftover bits of charred food that might influence the flavor of the brussels sprouts. If you're cooking on a charcoal grill, go easy on the lighter fluid. The fumes can easily overpower mild ingredients. Lay out the sprouts across the grate with the stem-ends facing down. That way, they'll be taking the most direct heat and you won't have to worry about them falling apart. Spread the skewers out over the grill surface so they'll be easier to turn and remove once they're done cooking. If you situate the skewers so that they're running parallel to the grate, there's a chance they could slip down through the openings as they cook down. Grilling the sprouts directly on the grate results in a bolder flavor than wrapping them in foil or cooking them on one of the upper racks. Turn the skewers over after the first 5 minutes, when the sprouts have turned a deep green color and begun to lightly brown around the edges. Especially large or tough sprouts may require as long as 10 minutes per side to heat through. Exact cooking times may vary, depending on the size, texture, and number of the sprouts. Keep an eye on your brussels sprouts as they grill and use your best judgment to determine when they're done. As the sprouts cook, the coating of oil on the outside will cause them to caramelize, making them nice and crispy." is Determine how much you’re willing to spend. Decide the general type of couch you want. Get a Chesterfield sofa for an air of distinction. Pick a sectional sofa for extra seating. Go with the Bridgewater sofa for smaller spaces.

Context: Not all sands are the same. If you are using standard play sand then you can rake and siphon it without too many worries regarding tank pollution. If, however, you have a specialty planting sand you’ll need to be very careful when raking as it can release ammonia when disturbed. Read the instructions and warnings carefully on the package to find out if any special handling is necessary. You can also visit your local aquarium store and talk with an expert who will advise you regarding your sand options. Some options, such as coral sand, are quite beautiful but can be dangerous to particular species of fish. If they come with a switch, turn it to the off position or simply unplug all of these devices. Your fish will be fine in the short period it will take you to complete a water change and for safety reasons it is important to not have electricity running into the tank as you handle the water. You can also take this as an opportunity to rinse out your filter pad or cartridge with cold water. You will want to do this once every two to four weeks. Dip your hand into the tank water and gently remove all decorations that you would like to clean. Wash these items in warm water scrubbing gently with your hands or a soft brush to remove all algae and debris. Place the clean decorations on a lint-free rag or into a clean bucket. There is no need to remove live plants for cleaning. It can possibly damage their roots. Cleaning decorations is a bit controversial and some argue that it is better to leave everything in the tank to preserve healthy bacteria. Place your siphon into the water and begin to drain the water directly into your sink or a bucket. You need to remove between 10-25% of the water depending on the dirtiness of the tank. You will want to complete this partial water change and cleaning process every one to two weeks. This dirty water does not need to be preserved and you can dispose of it immediately. Fill a clean bucket with tap water. Add drops of a water conditioner and wait a few minutes for it take full effect. The water conditioner will remove impurities and neutralize the chlorine in tap water making it safe for fish. Carefully read the instructions on your water conditioner bottle.

Context: before you begin. It’s a good idea to have had a neck rub, massage, or even a few good neck stretches before you begin to help stretch and loosen the neck. Lean your chin down towards your sternum and hold it in position for 20 seconds, then pull your head back and look up at the ceiling for another 20 seconds. Do this 3–4 times to loosen up your neck muscles. If you try to crack your neck without loosening up first, you could pull a muscle. Bend your fingers to make a “cup” with your hand, and place the hand so your chin is in the hollow of your hand. Your fingers should be reaching up the left side of your face, almost touching your cheekbone. You can let your thumb rest along the length of your jawbone. Bend your right arm so that you can comfortably position your right hand on the back of your head. Get a good grip and hold your head behind your left ear. Your grip shouldn’t be painfully tight, but should be firm enough that your head can’t slip out of your right hand. Gently but firmly rotate your head to the left between your hands. In addition to pushing your chin around to the left with your palm, pull your head around to the left with the hand on the back of your head. Continue to lightly stretch the neck muscles until they are at full stretch but not overstretched. You will often hear and feel a series of cracking sounds as the neck muscles pull tight. To make sure you’re getting all of the air out of your neck joints, add just a little extra pressure to trigger the full sequence of cracks. Cup your chin with your right palm and hold onto the back of your head with your left hand. Push forward on your chin with your right hand and pull back with your left hand to rotate your head to the right.

Passage: The best way to use an ice cream machine is to follow the instructions that came with the model of machine you purchased. If you do not have the instructions, you can likely find time on the manufacturer’s website. However, the description below should fit most ice cream makers. Many ice cream makers come with a bowl that should be frozen completely (usually for 24-hours) prior to making ice cream. Sometimes the bowl has liquid between the inner and outer walls of the bowl that freezes to help keep the product cold. Old-fashioned ice cream makers that do not have a frozen bowl may have a stainless steel (or other metal) bowl that sits inside a bucket of ice and rock salt. The salt helps melt the ice, which makes for a colder environment around the outside of the bowl. Most ice cream machines have a detachable paddle that stirs the mixture inside. Put the paddle in place per the manufacturer’s instructions. Remove the sorbet mixture from your refrigerator (where it has been cooling) and carefully pour it into the ice cream maker bowl. The ice cream maker should do most (if not all) of the work for you. Turn it on and it will spin for a set amount of time or until the mixture is frozen. Some models have a timer on them for a pre-determined length of mixing time, while others will automatically shut off once they meet a certain amount of resistance (caused by the frozen mixture). Depending on your machine, your sorbet may be very soft when it finishes mixing. If this is the case, you may want to place the sorbet in an air-tight container and put it in your freezer to harden., Summary: Consult your machine’s manual. Freeze the bowl. Place the bowl into the machine and add the paddle or stirrer. Pour the sorbet mixture in the bowl. Turn the machine on. Re-freeze the mixture for a firmer texture.

Q: Summarize the following: Gather your hair or dreads into a loose bun near the back of your head. Position the bun near the nape of your neck or the center of your head depending on which is more comfortable for you. If you have short hair, you can skip this step and begin wrapping your scarf right away. Take a scarf that's about 30 inches (76 cm) square and lay it flat. Then grab a corner and fold it over so it meets the corner that's opposite. You should now have a long folded side that makes the base of a triangle. Grab the 2 ends of the long side and pick up the scarf. Drape the long side over your head so the side matches your hairline. The scarf should completely cover your hair at this point. Keep holding both ends of the triangle and pull them down near the back of your neck. Hold them firmly so the tension keeps the scarf from slipping. Then tie the ends of the scarf at the base of your neck to secure them. You'll still have a corner of the scarf pointing down below the ends beneath the knot at this point. Once you've tied the ends of the scarf, use your fingers to tuck the long ends that are left and the corner that's pointing down underneath so they're hidden. If you prefer, gather the ends and bring them up along your hairline towards the top of your head. Tie them in a knot near your forehead.

Context: Make a habit of taking several 10 to 15-minute breaks throughout the day to combat the pressure and frustration you feel. Visit with a coworker, refill your water bottle, or step outside for a breath of fresh air. High-pressure work environments often involve some level of competitiveness, which means you might try to stay at your desk the entire shift and push yourself harder and harder. Taking a short breather can actually benefit your work performance, however. If you can’t manage a longer break, get up for just 5 minutes at a time. You’ll find that you’ll feel more focused and productive afterwards, making the break well worth your time. Shift your perspective about what you’re doing and you may feel less pressure. Try looking at a difficult job as a game or competition of sorts. Set a personal deadline or strive to beat your best time. For example, if your boss is breathing down your neck about getting a project done by the end of the workday, imagine that each task you complete is helping you destroy a fire-breathing dragon (i.e. your boss). If you get the project done on time, you conquer the dragon! By looking at your work this way, you’ll likely get more done while feeling less stressed in the process. Sometimes the pressure you feel about your job is internal. If you have really high standards for every piece of work that leaves your desk, you could be making your work environment more stressful than it has to be. Aim for done, not perfect. Start by prioritizing which tasks you’ll give the most time and energy to. For the others, just do them—don’t worry about giving 100% on every task. Another way to overcome perfectionism is to judge how the things you’re stressed about will matter in the long run. For instance, if you’re worried about choosing the perfect font on a work document, ask yourself how important that really is. ” Do you have a tendency to overcommit by saying “yes” to every request your coworkers or boss makes? Challenge yourself to start declining demands that don’t serve you and setting stronger boundaries. Be polite, but firm. Say something like “I can’t. I’m already in over my head with the Anderson project. Maybe Chris could help you?” ” The pressure can feel overbearing when you have become disconnected from your purpose. Reflecting on why you do the work you do or why your job is important can help lighten your mental load. Think about why your work is valuable. Who does it help or benefit? Your purpose can serve as an anchor when things get stressful at work., Summary: Stay committed to her. Find things you have in common and explore them together.

Passage: Write down your ideas in a notebook. Some basics to bear in mind include: Whether they’re geared toward children or adults, most great stories share a few basic elements: The main character, supporting characters, an interesting setting and a plot that includes a central conflict, trouble brewing, a climax, and a resolution. For non-fiction or informational works: The book needs to inform the reader about history, people, events, real things or how-to instructions. Picture books: These require a lot of illustration, usually in full color, which can make printing more expensive. Text is limited but needs to be both good and original––there is quite an art to limiting words and still putting across and excellent story. Many children’s books include a positive message, ranging from simple standards, like “share with others,” to more complex life lessons on topics like handling the death of a loved one or how to think about big issues like caring for the environment or respecting other cultures. It isn’t necessary to include a straightforward message, so don’t force it––if you do, your lesson may come off as heavy-handed, which won’t be appealing to kids. If writing fiction, this is your chance to write something silly, strange, nerdy, dreamy, fantastical. What inspired you as a child? Go there, explore those ideas. This doesn’t mean you should throw in something wacky for no good reason, though. Tap into feelings that are sincere and actions that make sense for your character. Readers can immediately pick up on writing that seems false, and that’s when they put down the book. And if writing non-fiction, this is your chance to share your knowledge and research with future generations of chefs, engineers, and artists! Importantly, be creative but also accurate––it's a fine balance between keeping it light and still ensuring that the content is fact-checked thoroughly and understandable or doable by children. Consider pitching the idea to a child, like a niece or nephew, cousin, or the child of a close friend.

Q: Summarize the following: Because there are so many different species of perennials, watering requirements vary based on the specific plant. Keep the soil around the perennials moist, but not soggy. To prevent fungal diseases, water in the morning or early afternoon. Mulch will hold moisture in the soil and prevent weeds from growing. Apply 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 cm) of mulch around the plants. Do not allow the mulch to actually touch the stem or branches of the plant or it may reduce air circulation necessary for healthy growth. If the soil is rich and amended with organic matter, fertilizing may not be necessary. Otherwise, fertilize with either a slow release granular or liquid fertilizer as needed. Do not over fertilize perennials, which can cause root injury or kill the plants. Some taller perennials, such as delphiniums, peonies, phlox and hollyhocks, may require staking. To support the stems, place wooden stakes in the ground and tie stems to the stakes with twine. Regularly deadhead faded flowers to keep the plants looking healthy and promote new blooms. Perennials may start to look scruffy or leggy after blooming. Most late spring and early summer perennials benefit from clipping after blooming. Perennials will continue to grow larger each year, but their continued growth may cause crowding in a garden.

The answer of "Summarize the following Traditional fish boil recipes use fish local to Wisconsin and Lake Michigan, such as lake trout and whitefish. However, you can use scrod, cod, haddock, or salmon if you don’t have access to local whitefish. For this recipe, you’ll need (4) ½ pound whitefish steaks. If you want to adjust the recipe for a larger group, have approximately a ½ pound to ¾ pound (227 g to 340 g) of fish per person. If you are planning a traditional outdoor fish boil, you’ll boil the fish in a large pot on an open fire. A cast-iron pot typically works best, and you’ll need logs or slab wood, as well as matches or a lighter, for the fire. If you can’t find a cast-iron pot or kettle for the fish boil, you can use a stainless steel or aluminum pot. It also helps to have a wire basket that you can place the fish in and lower into the pot that you’re using. That makes it easier to remove the fish while it’s finished boiling. Make sure that you have extra logs or slab wood on hand for the fire in case you to feed it during the fish boil. Instead of a log fire, you can use a propane torch to heat the pot for the boil. You can recreate a fish boil at home without starting an outdoor fire. Instead, use a large stainless steel or aluminum stock pot with on your stovetop. If your pot has a basket or a strainer insert, you’ll have an easier time removing the fish when they’re done cooking.

Passage: To wean the baby gradually choose a feeding that happens during a busy time of the day and replace it with your chosen substitute. Place either pumped breast milk or formula in a bottle or cup to feed the baby. Do the feeding in a new room in the house. Weaning a baby is both a physical and psychological transition. Doing it in a new room can help the baby ease away from associating a particular atmosphere with food. Give the baby extra comfort and hugs during the feeding to help the transition go more smoothly. As the baby grows used to the new style of eating, keep replacing another feeding every two or three days. Don't rush the process too much, or the baby may grow confused and the weaning plan could backfire. Offer the baby milk or formula in a cup or bottle before every feeding, even those you don't plan to fully replace. Getting the baby used to these alternative feeding instruments is an essential transition step. Shorten the breastfeeding sessions you still have. Continue replacing and shortening feedings over the course of a few weeks until the baby has switched almost entirely to drinking from a bottle or cup, depending on which one you have chosen to provide. For example, many babies breastfeed right before they go to sleep. Start putting the baby to bed without first breastfeeding so that he or she will be able to sleep without this activity. Replacing breastfeeding with another ritual can help. For example, consider reading a story, playing a game or rocking in the rocking chair before the baby goes to sleep. Don't replace breastfeeding with an object, like a stuffed animal or pacifier. These items will make the weaning process more difficult for the baby., Summary: Replace a daytime feeding. Replace another feeding every few days. Help the baby get used to doing activities without breastfeeding.

Passage: Prevention is essential for strep because it is highly contagious. It is spread from person to person by coming into contact with contaminated secretions, from shaking hands with someone who hasn't washed her hands to kissing your baby. What typically occurs is an infected person wipes her nose or mouth contaminated with the bacteria and then touches someone or something. The bacteria can survive on objects for between for several days, although it may survive on dry surfaces for up to 6 months. In some studies, the bacteria is very hearty. For example, it has survived in ice cream for 18 days and in macaroni salad for a week. Because the bacteria is so hearty and contagious, it can be spread even after treatment. The incubation period, or amount of time the bacteria takes to show symptoms, is between 1-3 days. This means that you may not feel unwell or know you're sick, but you may expose others unknowingly. Without antibiotic treatment, an individual is infectious for the period of the infection, which is 7-10 days, as well as an additional week afterwards. With antibiotic treatment, the person is infectious for as little as 24 hours after beginning treatment. The most common symptoms of strep throat are a severe and painful throat, painful swallowing, and a fever greater than 100.4 degrees. You may also experience swollen throat glands or headaches. Stomach upset and vomiting may occur in younger children. If you look closely at your throat, you may also see the characteristic red and swollen tonsils with white shaggy clumps of pus, or exudates, on the tonsils. Occasionally, strep throat can lead to scarlet fever, an inflammatory illness which has the same symptoms of strep throat with the addition of a non-raised, sandpaper like rash that may be anywhere on the body. The rash is not itchy. Before the rash appears, there may also be stomach pain or vomiting, especially in children. Sometimes, the enlarged painful tonsils sometimes have an abscess formation just adjacent to the tonsil, which require surgical drainage. Sometimes this can be performed in your doctor's office, although it may need surgical intervention or your doctor may decide to treat it with aggressive antibiotics. You should seek treatment if you have the white shaggy pus pockets on your tonsils and a fever. These are readily visible to even the untrained eye. If you have a fever that has not gone away for 2-3 days and you have a bad sore throat, see your doctor to be tested for strep throat. Diagnosis is most often confirmed clinically, though you can typically guess what you have based on the characteristic white pus pockets on your tonsils. In recent years, rapid strep tests have made it easier for clinicians to diagnose strep throat definitively in the office setting, though typically the triad of fever, pus pockets, and severe sore throat in an ill-appearing individual is sufficient for diagnosis. Other testing is available but usually unnecessary. Children will likely be tested using a rapid antigen test, which can detect antigens (substances that produce an immune response in your body) in your throat within minutes. Because children are more prone to complications from strep throat, your doctor will probably use the rapid test to diagnose first. If it is inconclusive, the doctor will order a throat culture, which takes a few days to process. There is also the option of a DNA test (called a NAAT or PCR test), which gives results within 24 hours. In the US, treatment with antibiotics for strep throat is common. Your physician will check you for strep throat and then prescribed you an antibiotic in the penicillin family, with the most common being Amoxicillin, although your doctor will prescribe different antibiotics if you are allergic to penicillin or Amoxicillin. These should be taken according to your doctor's directions. Typically, you will begin to feel better within that 48 hour window. If not, you should seek further treatment from your healthcare provider as you may have an antibiotic resistant strain of strep bacteria or the beginnings of an abscess infection. You should always complete the full course of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, even if you begin to feel better. Failing to do so can cause the remaining bacteria, which are stronger than the ones killed by the antibiotics, to become resistant to drug treatment. This makes the condition harder to treat and cure. If you're getting strep throat frequently, or if your strep throat is severe or difficult to treat, talk to your doctor. She may recommend that you see an ear-nose-throat (ENT) specialist about having your tonsils removed. While this doesn't completely prevent the recurrence of strep throat, it can help, especially in children. Severe strep throat shows signs such as a fever of at least 101F (38C), swollen or painful lymph nodes in the neck, and/or white pus on the tonsils., Summary: Learn how it's spread. Learn the incubation period. Recognize the symptoms. Diagnose the disease. Treat strep throat. Consult with your doctor if you get strep throat frequently.

Passage: Consider why you want to be in love with this person, and make sure that you want to do so for healthy reasons. Remember that you do not need to love someone just because he or she loves you. Do not try to force love for the sake of convenience, or social propriety, Love comes about through a series of variably conscious and subconscious choices. The intense feelings of attraction and attachment are the product of subtle hormones and pheromones – chemicals that act behind the scenes and make us more or less likely to fall for someone. On some level, you may be able to set up the right conditions for love. On the other hand, the actual feelings may be beyond your control. Try to keep perspective. Study love. Understand why people in love feel the way they do: how attraction and intimacy fire up the dopamine and serotonin receptors in our brains and make us emote so intensely. If you know the science of love, you might have a better idea of how it comes about. Perhaps you have fallen out of love with a long-term partner, and you want to rekindle the romance. Are you doing this because it is what you want, or are you doing it for the sake of stability: children, friends, or a mortgage? Perhaps you have been set up with an arranged marriage, or you have fallen into a serious relationship with someone that you aren't sure about. Social consequences aside, remember that you do not need to make yourself love anyone! Give yourself permission to honestly and organically discover the love that you deserve., Summary: Gather your materials. Thread a needle.

Passage: Everyone knows exercise is good for your body, but it’s also good for your skin. Working out tones and firms your muscles, which helps the skin look better. On top of that, exercise aids in circulation which feeds skin cells with oxygen and nutrients, it dilates the skin, and reduces inflammation. There are multiple ways exercise makes you look refreshed. Clean your skin before you work out to help keep your pores unclogged. Keep your skin cooler and cleaner by wearing moisture-wicking clothing to get the perspiration away from your skin. This also helps prevent acne. Exercise in a cool environment that helps keep your body temperature down. This can help prevent flare-ups of some skin conditions. Apply a skin moisturizer. Using skin moisturizer before exercise helps repel sweat, and applying afterwards – especially after swimming – helps fight dry, cracked skin and unhealthy appearance. Exercise reduces stress and anxiety. Feel happy about your condition, your confidence, and your fitness. Even just 15 minutes of exercise can reduce anxiety levels. Studies have shown that alternating hot and cold treatment, even including a sauna, has great benefits. Blood flow is increased, the metabolism speeds up, depression is minimized, and the body is stimulated. After you're cleaned up, alternate between the coldest temperature you can tolerate, then the hottest, and finish with the coldest again. Smoking has been related through studies to a variety of skin aging issues as well as skin conditions like psoriasis. The heat from the cigarette directly affects the skin, and the elasticity is worsened because the blood vessels are constricted. On top of that, levels of vitamin A are reduced. Eat meals healthy for your body, those high in fiber with minimal fats, especially saturated fat. These diets boost energy and mood, while poorer diets make you drowsy and miserable. Choose foods with folic acid and Vitamin B12, like leafy green vegetables and beans, to reduce symptoms of depression. Eat plenty of fruits. Some studies have linked eating fruit to better physical health, and better feelings about personal health. Eat fish often. Multiple studies have linked eating plenty of seafood to lower levels of depression. Try to fit fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids into your daily diet. Drink about 3 liters (0.8 US gal) of water per day. Drinking plenty of water has been shown to increase blood flow and elasticity of the skin, making it appear thicker, moister, and healthier., Summary: Exercise! Incorporate morning hydrotherapy. Quit smoking. Change your diet. Drink enough water.

The summary of "Have you ever noticed that your sense of smell fades, or perhaps completely disappears, when you have a cold? Congestion in the membranes in the nose that contain the smell-sensitive nerve endings can dull your ability to smell, and avoiding foods that promote stuffiness (generally dairy products like milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream) might help. Gradually re-introducing these foods one-by-one will help you to identify which have the biggest impact. There is a channel from the back of your throat to the sensory cells in your nose. If this channel is blocked by any kind of congestion, your ability to taste food will be affected. Various pollutants such as chemical fumes can interfere with your sense of smell. Smoking is one common example of a substance that can compromise your ability to smell. Quitting could help you recover a better sense of smell. Your smell will be most diminished in the thirty minutes after smoking a cigarette. Various drugs can hamper your ability to smell. These includes stimulants, depressants, antibiotics and other drugs. If you think you are taking something that might be impairing your sense of smell, contact your doctor. Some cold remedies can make you lose your sense of smell. Be sure you don't stop taking a prescribed course of drugs without talking to your doctor first. There is a suggestion that prolonged exposure to bad smells tends to numb your ability to smell. For example, someone who works with compost everyday might over time become less sensitive to the odour. Try to avoid prolonged exposure to strong smells, and if you do have to be around them, consider wearing a mask over your nose and mouth. Wearing a mask can help filter out some of the smells." is Avoid foods that cause excess mucus production. Steer clear of substances that can impair your sense of smell. Stay away from stink.

The summary of "Any appeal has a greater chance of success if all the facts are thoroughly documented. The type of documentation you'll need depends on what kind of decision you're appealing. Go through your letter with a highlighter and highlight all facts – dates, places, names. Then ask yourself if you have any proof of that fact. If you do, include it. You'll also want to include identification documentation, as well as anything that connects you to the recipient, such as a membership card or a student ID. Make copies of these rather than sending your originals. You run the risk that your appeal will not be taken seriously if your letter is riddled with typos and grammatical errors. Read your letter aloud to pick up on additional errors or awkward phrasing. Go back and check the date on the letter, especially if you've been drafting it over the course of several days. That date doesn't necessarily have to be the date you mail it, but it should reflect the date you signed the letter. You also want to check your notations for attachments and make sure everything you've included is listed. After you've signed your letter, make a copy of it along with a copy of every attachment. You'll want to keep these for your own records, at least until the issue is resolved. You may want to make a separate folder just for this incident. Keep all documents and information related to your appeal until the matter is concluded. You want to mail your letter rather than taking it in person so you have proof of receipt. Use certified mail that will require a signature and send you a receipt. Even if you never end up filing a lawsuit, the date your appeal was received may end up being important. For example, suppose you get a notice saying your appeal wasn't received within 20 days of the decision. If you have a certified mail receipt that shows the letter was received 10 days after the decision, you can have your appeal heard. Once you mail your letter, mark a date on your calendar within about a week to contact the recipient if you haven't heard from them yet. Since you're the one requesting a second chance, be an active participant in the process and show that it means something to you. Following up doesn't mean being a pest. Call once and find out if they've received the letter. Ask what their timeline is or when you should expect to hear back, and plan accordingly. If they request more information or other documentation, submit what they need as quickly as possible." is Gather documentation. Proofread your letter thoroughly. Make copies of the entire package.

Buy some standard wood stain or acrylic paint in any color or shade you like. Chinese fans usually use a reddish stain on the wood handles, but you should choose something which compliments your design. Take a small paintbrush, and apply small brushstrokes to one of the popsicle sticks. Make sure to get both the top, sides, and the back of the exposed end. Let one popsicle stick dry before you turn it over. It is best to wait a day in between each, but you should at least give it an hour or so. If you go the acrylic paint route, you can add painted designs after you apply an initial base coat. You might want to continue the design from your fan onto the popsicle sticks, or add in something complimentary. Make sure to buy a smaller paintbrush for the finer details. This could mean any number of things. You might want to glue on buttons or beads to the popsicle sticks. You can use glitter glue to highlight the edges of your popsicle sticks, or use it to highlight the edges of the actual fan. The important thing is to be creative without adding too much. Remember, this is a fan which will by necessity take on a lot of wear and tear. Too many beads, or add-ons may make the fan too heavy, or make it damage relatively quicker than it normally would. Your fan needs "exercise" so that the creases continuously open and close the same way. Every day, try to open and close your fan 3-4 times. Do this for a week straight so you get used to how it opens and closes. The creases of your fan will become more permanent. If you are just using your fan at church to keep you cool, you can wave and hold your fan any way you wish. However, if you are going out to the opera, there is a more sophisticated way to hold your fan. Open your fan half-way (half a circle) and place it in front of your face, so that other people would only be able to see your eyes and nose. Your hand will hold the fan at the bottom center of the half circle. Place your thumb on the outside of the fan (decoration side). Your other four fingers will be placed on the inside (non-decoration side). Gently wave the fan towards your face. If the fan comes into contact, move the fan away slightly. The goal is to cool yourself off, show off your fan, and too demonstrate your level of sophistication. Certainly the goal of this project is to create a contractible fan. However, if your fan stays closed for too long, the design you have on it can become worn and damaged. After you are done using it for the night, and you are home, open the fan up. Lay it down on a flat surface, or hang it up on the wall as a home decoration." is Stain or paint your popsicle sticks. Add extra detail to your fan. Open and close your fan.

Chances are if you exude confidence (even if it’s forced or unnatural at first), people will believe you are competent. Speak loudly and clearly and act as if you are fully confident in your abilities. The opposite is true, too. If you go into a presentation feeling fearful, lots of things can give away your fear, such as shaky voice, lack of eye contact, acting flustered, etc. If you’re closed off, looking down, or crossing your arms/legs, people may assume you are unapproachable. People with proper posture report higher levels of positive mood and self-esteem than slouchers. Changing your body language can help your mind believe that you are confident. Practice puffing your shoulders out (as a way to appear/feel bigger) or putting your hands on your hips. Practice doing triumphant poses, such as pumping your fist in the air before a nerve-racking situation. Relaxation can help calm any anxiety you may be feeling and can help you feel more at ease. If you are feeling tense, restless, or unhappy, try some relaxation techniques to help you feel more balanced.

The summary of "Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface. Unwrap the chilled dough and place it on the floured surface. Sprinkle a little more flour on top of the dough and use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it's 1/8-inch (3-mm) thick. Turn the dough occasionally to keep it from sticking. You might need to sprinkle more flour over the dough as you roll it. Take a 3-inch (7-cm) round cookie cutter with scalloped edges and use it to cut about 12 circles from the dough. You might need to roll the scraps into a ball and re-roll the dough in order to cut more circles. Avoid re-rolling the dough more than once or the pastry will become tough. If you want to use a mini-muffin tin, use a smaller cookie cutter to make your circles. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or brush each cavity with melted butter. Turn on the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). You can use a standard muffin tin or use a mini-muffin tin if you'd like very small tartlets. For a mini-muffin tin, try using a 2-inch (5-cm) round cookie cutter with scalloped edges. Lift each scalloped circle up and place it into the prepared muffin tin cavities. Gently press it into the bottom and sides of the cavities. Take a fork and prick the bottoms of each a few times to prevent it from puffing up as it bakes. Place one muffin liner on top of each tartlet in the muffin tin. Fill each muffin liner with pie weights or dried beans to weigh the muffin liner down. Filling the liners will help the tartlet shells keep their shape as they bake. Put the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake the tartlet shells until they're pale golden brown. This should take 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the tin from the oven and let the shells cool completely. Lift the muffin liner and weights out of each shell. Don't worry if the muffin liners create ridges in the tarts. You shouldn't be able to see these lines once you've filled the tartlets. Fill each tartlet with your dessert filling.

The answer of "Summarize the following if you don't already know. That's the first and most important step. You can do this on practically any bike that is the right size for you. Starting on a basic single speed bike with coaster brakes is usually best. Since you don't have to worry about shifting gears and front/rear braking sequences, these bikes offer an easy learning curve. There are many different types of bikes that offer a wide range of capabilities. If you live in a city, you probably want a bike that’s built for roads. If you live somewhere where you can bike on trails, then a mountain bike might be more your speed. Standard bikes. These are old-fashioned, single speed bikes with coaster brakes (pedal backward to brake). Good for leisurely riding around town if there are no serious hills or other obstacles. BMX bikes. Low profile bikes with 20 inch (50.8 cm), usually knobby tires. These are for "competition" biking on trails or courses and have cable operated caliper brakes on the front and rear. These bikes are single geared bikes. Road bikes. This is a general term for traditional looking, and racing like bicycles designed for good performance on pavement. There is a wide range of options within this category. Road bikes can often be classified into two broad groups of racing/performance or touring. Racing bikes are designed for pure speed with an emphasis on light weight, and place the rider in an aggressive posture. Touring bikes are designed for sustained comfort and carrying loads. They have heavier components for durability, mounts for rack and fender attachments, and have a more upright riding position. Road bikes traditionally have "drop" or "aero" handlebars. These handlebars allow the rider a range of hand placements for comfort or for achieving an aerodynamic riding position. Mountain bikes. Bikes designed for off-road use, with compact frames, stable handling, clearance for wide and knobby tires, and higher handlebars for a more upright position. For hilly terrain, these bikes will generally come with low-range gearing. There are many types designed for specific purposes, such as downhill versus cross-country racing. Mountain bikes can be equipped with sophisticated suspension and disc brake systems. Mountain bikes are also very popular as all-around bicycles due to versatility. Tandem bikes. These bikes have an extra seat and set of pedals for two people to ride together. Recumbent bikes. These bicycles seat the rider in a "reclining" position with the pedals positioned forward, which is a more natural position requiring less flexibility than upright bikes. These bikes can be fitted with windshields for good aerodynamic performance. However, these are generally heavier and can't match the performance of upright racing style bikes. If you intend to ride your bike on trails and unpaved roads, a mountain bike is a good fit. If you don't intend to ride on unpaved trails and live in a city, a road bike will be more efficient. Racing style bikes will not be as comfortable or practical for casual riders. Depending on where you live, shops may be limited to mostly racing and mountain bikes. A popular middle ground that you may find is the "hybrid" style bike. Hybrid bikes often mix elements of both road and mountain bikes. Hybrid bikes typically have thicker wheels and a wider seat. Frames are usually fairly light and most use caliper hand brakes. When deciding on a bike that will work for you, ask yourself a few questions to get started. What will your average riding time be? How often will you use your bike? Are you getting a bike for fun or more for transportation? What have you ridden in the past? Being able to answer these basic questions will give you a good picture of what kinds of features you need in a bike. If you plan to ride your bike to work every day, you probably want more of a road bike that is fast and light. If you want a bike you can attach extra components to like a basket and ride around, a hybrid or cruiser might work. And if you plan on exercising and riding trails, then a mountain bike is what you’re looking for." is Learn how to ride Learn about the basic types of bikes. Think about your intended usage.

Q: Summarize the following: Since selling to someone close to you is different than selling to a stranger, you should treat this transaction with extra care and tact. Only sell your watch to family or friends if the watch is in the best condition possible and you’re giving them a really good deal. In your listing, include several photos and a specific description of the watch. Be sure to document any imperfections and set the price to reflect them as well. When you arrange meetings with potential buyers, be careful. Agree to meet up with the potential buyer in a busy, well-lit area and be extra cautious. Be clear about the specifications, price, and condition of the watch so there is no confusion between you and the buyer when you meet. Selling the original charger with the watch may make your listing more desirable, but it’s not required. You’ll likely make less because eBay takes 10% of the final price, but you’ll generally get a higher offer for your watch because customers trust eBay’s buyer protection program. To list your watch, post some photos and a detailed description, name the starting price, and then wait for bids to come in. You may also need to pay a listing or insertion fee before you post your listing. This way, you won’t have to set up any face-to-face interaction either, which can be safer when dealing with expensive items. After you make the sale, you’ll need to package the watch properly and ship it to the buyer. You could also sell the original charger with the watch, but it’s not necessary. Swappa is a site specifically made for selling used electronics. Upload a few photos, write a description, and fill in some boxes to indicate the watch’s condition. This site also only takes a $10 flat-rate cut on the final sale instead of a percentage, so you’ll be able to keep more money from the sale. On Swappa, you can sell your watch with or without the charger., A: Sell to a family member or friend if the watch is in good condition. Post your watch on Craigslist if you want to sell in person. List your watch on eBay if you want to keep the transaction online. Use Swappa if you want to sell on a reputable marketplace site.

Passage: You might think these things can wait until you’ve actually assembled a team. However, “branding” your team right away makes it easier to draw in players. Take into account your prospective player pool and think about what will appeal to them. Use an online random sports team name generator for a unique name, or grab a dictionary and a thesaurus for some creative inspiration. Rely on your own artistic skills to create a simple team logo, or search online for logo creation sites—you may be able to get a custom design for as little as $50 USD. Choose a team color scheme and uniform style that you think will appeal to your target pool of players. For example, you might choose a name and color pattern that is reminiscent of a popular college or professional sports team in your area. If, for instance, the local college team is the Bears, you might call your youth team the Cubs. Use all methods at your disposal to let potential players (and parents, if it’s a youth team) know about your new team. Utilize your team name, logo, and color scheme as you spread the word. Use social media to inform potential players and/or parents. Use your personal accounts, but also consider creating “official” team accounts. You may even want to create a team website. Don’t ignore low-tech methods like posting flyers in spots where potential players will see them. For example, you might post flyers for a youth team at the local library and ice cream shop. As you start to sign up interested players, make sure you have good systems in place for collecting key things like contact information and payments (such as registration fees). Set up a spreadsheet, for instance, to keep track of things such as: Names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of interested players. For youth teams, you'll need information from parents or guardians as well. Completion of registration forms and collection of registration fees. Signups for insurance or insurance waivers (if required by your league). Relevant measurements for uniforms and equipment. As your team roster fills out with players who have signed up, ask for any preferences or restrictions regarding practice times and locations. Accommodate the players as best you can, but also make sure that the practice schedule works well for you. For a youth team, for example, don't schedule late evening or night practices. You may also have to arrange for carpools with parents. Make sure you’re also aware of any league rules regarding practice times or locations., Summary: Create a catchy team name, logo, and uniform. Spread the word about your team online and in person. Collect required info and payments from your players. Schedule practices that suit your team’s needs.

The summary of "Look for testing sites that are open and encouraging to patients under 18 years of age. The medical workers at these clinics will be less likely to notify your parents if you live in an area where they are allowed to do so. If you want to be absolutely sure that your parents cannot find out that you had an STD test, you should call your local facilities and ask whether or not they receive Federal Title X funds, as Title X organizations must provide confidential services to minors. Planned Parenthood is a Title X organization that is committed to the confidentiality of minors. You can find other providers in your area through the website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, offer STD testing free of charge, but others charge a fee. Make sure you know whether or not you need to pay for this service at your clinic of choice and how much it might cost. The exception to confidentiality is if the teenager is a victim of child abuse or sexual abuse, or if the patient is posing a threat to others. Nowhere in the United States are medical professionals required by law to inform the parents of minors of STD tests, but there are many states that allow them to notify parents without a minor's consent if they wish, usually if they feel it's in the best interest of the minor. Note that all clinics that receive Federal Title X funds are required to provide confidential services to minors. The states that allow medical officials to notify parents of STD tests administered to minors without needing their consent are: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas. The states in which you must be 14 or older to consent to an STD test are: Hawaii, New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Washington. South Carolina allows STD test consent for “mature minors 15 and younger and all minors 16 and older.” Having a companion will help calm your nerves. Choose someone who won’t let you back out at the last second, but at the same time will be sensitive to your concerns and provide a good, strong shoulder to lean on." is Write your contact information.

Context: One of the cornerstones of helping a depressed child is unconditional love and support from their parents and family members. Remind your child that you are there to talk and help them in any way you can, even if what they say is unpleasant. Keep in mind that it is important to reinforce your statements about love and support by repeating them to your child often. Even if your child doesn’t believe them, saying them is important. Remind yourself that your child’s inactivity or inability to engage is not because of laziness, but a disease. This can help you be more understanding and supportive of their problems. Avoid telling your child to “snap out of it” at any time. No person would ever choose to be depressed and your child would likely “snap out of it” if they could. Teachers and other educational professionals are there to promote your child’s welfare. Keeping educational professionals in the loop about what your child is experiencing can ensure that they give your child a little extra love and support, too. Remember that educational professionals are also required to keep the information about your child’s depression confidential, so your child shouldn’t have to worry about other students or parents finding out. Let teachers, administrators, and schools nurses know about any problems at school that contribute to your child’s depression. Also let them know about any medication your child takes and side effects it may cause. Ask teachers to consider giving your child less homework or being more understanding if your child doesn’t finish their homework because of the depression. Regular activity can increase the levels of serotonin in the brain. This can help relieve the symptoms of depression and help your child relax. Encourage your child to do some type of activity every day or incorporate it into the family routine, which can also help to boost your child’s mood. Allow your child to do any physical or creative activities they enjoy. This could be going for walks, biking, swimming, or even jumping on a small trampoline. Creative activities such as painting or dancing can have similar anti-depressant effects. Tell your child you want to try yoga, tai chi, or qigong together. Some doctors and patients with depression have found these types of relaxing exercises particularly effective against the symptoms of the condition. Poor nutrition can exacerbate depression. Making sure that your child is getting three nutritious meals and two snacks every day can promote their overall well-being and help with the symptoms of depression. Focus on giving your child a variety of foods from the five food groups of fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and whole grains. In addition, choose foods with mood-enhancing folic acid such as asparagus. Foods like avocados are high in Vitamin B and can help relieve any stress that is contributing to your child’s depression. Consider cooking meals together with your child, which gives you some special one-on-one time. Children who are depressed are more likely to use alcohol and drugs. Talk to your child openly about this and give them the support to stop using. You can also help by making sure that any alcohol or drugs you have in your home are locked up. Explain to your child that alcohol and drugs may make them feel better quickly, but will make the depression worse in the long run. Stress because of schoolwork, social situations, or chores can contribute significantly to a child’s depression. Reducing your child’s exposure to things that cause stress may help relieve symptoms. Talk to teachers and others at school about reducing homework to help your child cope. Ask if switching classes is possible because of factors such as bullying. Be sure to make similar stress reduction changes at home, too. Give your child fewer or easier chores or help them break them up into manageable parts. Praise your child for doing things well or even just trying. This can do wonders in helping a child feel less stress. Every person needs enough rest to maintain their physical and mental health. This is especially true for children with depression. Make it a priority that your child gets nine to 11 hours of sleep every night, which may help reduce the symptoms of depression. Let your child take short naps of only 20 to 30 minutes, which can help them feel better., Summary: Trace the outline of your jeans onto your folded fabric. Cut along the lines you traced.

The answer of "Summarize the following Make sure the butter is softened so it spreads easily on the bread, otherwise it might tear. Place the bread on a clean surface, butter-side down. You can soften or melt the butter by placing about 1 tablespoon in a microwave-safe bowl for 5-10 seconds. Most recipes call for 2 slices of cheese, or about 1.5 oz. Go ahead and add more if you want a super-cheesy sandwich. Distribute your cheese evenly over the bread so all melts at the same rate. Don't build a sandwich any taller than 1-1 1/2 inches or the microwaves may not cook it all the way through. A crisper pan is made from microwave-safe metal that becomes extremely hot and works the same as a griddle or pan you would heat up on the stove. It will brown and crisp your bread, just like if you made your sandwich in a frying pan. To get the griddle-effect, a crisper pan must become extremely hot during the preheating process. Only use it with adult supervision and never, ever touch it with your bare hands. Use heat-proof oven mitts to handle the crisper. Follow the manufacturers directions about where to place the pan. It may have to sit on the floor of the microwave or may have built-in legs that lift it closer to the grill on the ceiling of the machine. Do not put anything on the crisper pan until it has pre-heated. If the crisper pan comes with a lid, don't cover the sandwich. If your bread doesn't appear to be browning, try adding more time in 5-second increments. Remember, the bread that is touching the pan is the side that will be getting crisp, so you may not be able to tell until you flip it over. This will ensure that both sides of your bread are browned and toasted and that the inside of your grilled cheese is cooked through evenly. Press the sandwich with the spatula on either side to add crispiness. Be very careful no part of your skin comes in contact with the pan. If it is easier, first remove the pan with oven mitts, then flip the sandwich and return the pan to the microwave. Allow the sandwich to cool for 2-3 minutes before cutting in half and serving warm. The bread may continue to crust over a little as it cools." is Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place your cheese on the dry, unbuttered side of one slice of bread. Top cheese with any additional ingredients and cover with the second slice of bread, butter-side up. Place your crisper pan (or browning dish) in the microwave and follow the manufacturer's instructions to pre-heat. Place the sandwich on the crisper pan and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Use a spatula to flip your sandwich over and microwave for another 20-30 seconds. Use heat-proof oven mitts to remove the crisper pan and sandwich.

Context: The decor and atmosphere of your donut shop should be inviting, clean, and appetizing. As you choose your color scheme, wallpaper, and/or wall art, keep in mind that people will be coming to your shop to buy and eat food, so you may want colors and images that make people feel comfortable, hungry, or both. Psychologically, shades of yellow and red tend to make people feel comfortable, talkative, and hungry. Red in particular is often associated with an increased appetite. Consider displaying art work created by local artists to cement your business's place in the community. If your donut shop did not come with equipment from a previous bakery, you may want to consider leasing your equipment instead of buying it. Leasing allows you to upgrade your equipment as new and better models become available. It will also be more cost-effective, and you may even be able to write off some of your lease payments as business expenses when you file your taxes (though you should always consult with a professional accountant or tax preparer to ensure you follow all the necessary guidelines). The absolute minimum in terms of equipment you will need are a dough proofer, an oven, a refrigerator, and a point-of-sale system. Depending on the size of your business and your anticipated growth, you may need multiple dough proofers, ovens, and refrigerators. Depending on where you live, you will most likely need to secure either a permit or a license to operate your business. This will typically be done through either your city or county offices, though which office you'll visit will vary, depending on where you live. You may need a small business license, or a special bakery-specific permit. Check with your local SBA office or your municipal offices to determine what paperwork you will need to run your donut shop. Some cities have a Department of Consumer Regulatory Affairs, or a similar governing agency. Others may simply require you to go through your local town hall. Check online to see what permits/licenses you'll need to operate in your region. You can typically apply for a license online or in person at your local office. Running a restaurant of any kind takes a lot of work, and that includes keeping the establishment clean and up to par with current health codes. The specific measures of a health inspection will vary depending on where you live, but some common factors tested for include: employee hygiene time and temperature procedures for food preparation acquiring food from approved sources/vendors proper disposal of wastes keeping rodents, insects, and other animals out of the building proper storage, labeling, and presentation of food clean utensils, preparation surfaces, and equipment all necessary permits acquired and visible Most bakeries tend to open fairly early in the morning. But your hours of operation will most likely depend on your target customers' hours of activity. For example, if your business is in a college town near the local bars, you may want to consider having evening hours at least a couple times each week to feed the hungry bar-goers. Alternately, if your business is in a predominantly quiet residential area, you may want to opt for morning and early afternoon hours to capitalize on when people will be out and about. Doing all the work yourself will certainly cut down on costs, but it will also keep you shackled to the kitchen virtually every single day. Only you can decide if that tradeoff is worth it, but consider both the costs and whether or not you and your business can sustain the long hours single-handedly. If you do decide to hire a staff (or even just one or two other employees), communicate to every applicant what your vision for the donut shop is. Make sure that the employees you hire can share your vision and put your business's best interests at the forefront. Don't just hire the first person who walks in the door. Examine each applicant's resume for qualifications (such as previous baking, restaurant, or customer service experience) and check the references of any qualifying candidates either before or after you arrange an interview. Hire the person or people you can trust the most with both your money and your business. How aggressively you market your business is up to you, but remember that you may be facing tough competition. Your product should ultimately speak for you, but you need to get customers interested and lead them to your door. Some easy ways to market your business include: creating social media pages for your business (and using social media to advertise specials, keep in touch with customers, etc.) buying ads on social media printing and distributing fliers in your area participating in some type of charity events It's hard to compete with big chain donut shops and super markets, where customers can get a donut for a very cheap price. Instead, those customers are coming to you for something special: a high quality product, accompanied by top notch service. Make sure your customers get a culinary and service experience that matches (if not exceeds) what they're paying at your shop. Listen to your customers' feedback, both in person and on social media. Change any operational issues that people find troublesome, and consider asking them for suggestions from time to time. Taking special requests (either in rotation or as a flavor of the week) will keep those and other new customers coming back for more., Summary: Acknowledge any unintended distance by addressing it. Meet up. Hold an annual reunion event. Send invitations via snail-mail.

The summary of "You can find kits in most drugstores or beauty stores. Your kit should contain a softener to loosen your hair, a solution to set the curls, and perm rods (which may be sold separately). In addition to these materials, you'll need activator (aka Jheri juice, which keeps the curls looking moist and tight) and a shower cap. Making Jheri curls the classic way requires using chemicals that can cause permanent damage to your hair. If you apply the chemicals incorrectly, use too much, or overdo it in any way, your hair could become dry and brittle, and it might even break. This extreme hair damage is one reason why people stopped making Jheri curls the classic way in the mid-nineties. If you want the Jheri curl look without the harsh chemicals, skip down to the next section. You might want to consider having your Jheri curls put in at a salon instead of doing them yourself. You're essentially giving yourself a perm, which requires some skill and knowledge of hair. Whether you have your hair done at a salon or do it yourself at home, you'll need regular touch ups." is Buy Jheri curl supplies.

Passage: As you play the game, convince the other players that you are goofy and ridiculous. Say silly comments and tease other players, for instance. Act a bit clumsy as well. Then, when you are ready to make your move, lift up both of your arms so you can bump into another player. You can sway from side to side or almost spill your drink. This makes it more convincing when you bump into the other player. As you wave your arms around, bump into another player to make them drop their cards. As you do this, drop your cards nearby. This way, your cards get mixed up and you can switch some of their cards for your own. Make this look as natural as possible so you don’t get caught. If you look like you are intentionally knocking their cards out, it will not look authentic. When you knock over their cards, say something like, “Oh gosh, I’m so sorry. Let me get those for you,” and quickly duck under the table. Pick up the cards into 2 loose piles, 1 for you and 1 for the other player. As you do this, select the cards that you want and put them in your pile. Rearrange the cards as quickly as you can. You can also reach for the cards as soon as it happens, though the other player may try to help pick them up. Make sure the other player cannot see you rearranging the cards. When rearranging the cards, include 1 of your “good” cards, such as a Reverse or Skip card. This way, the other player is not suspicious since you are giving them a “gift.” The other player may interpret the card shuffle as a positive thing in their favor, when in reality you may give them 2-3 extra cards without them noticing. When you switch the cards, pay attention to the main colors of the other player’s hand. For instance, if the player has a lot of blue cards, give them lots of blue cards. This way, they are less likely to notice you may have snuck a card from them., Summary: Wave your arms around the table so you look silly or intoxicated. Knock another player’s cards out of their hand along with your own. Rearrange the cards on the floor out of view of the other players. Hand the cards back to the other player, including a powerful card. Swap similar colored cards so the other player is less suspicious.

Q: Summarize the following: The key component of your bucket drum set is going to be the bucket. A 15 liter (4 US gal) bucket is usually a good size for someone of an average height. You can find large plastic buckets at hardware stores or by asking friends or family if they have an empty plastic bucket you can use. You will also need a stool or another bucket of equal or lesser height that you can sit on when you drum. The second key component of your bucket drum set is a pair of wooden drumsticks. Look for drumsticks at your local music supply store or online. You can also use metal drumsticks, but they are often heavier and more difficult to use for beginner drummers. If you plan to move around with your bucket drum set, you can make it portable by making a strap for the bucket drum out of duct tape and rope. Begin by wrapping duct tape around the bucket, a few inches from the bottom of the bucket. Wrap the duct tape around once and then once more again. At the end of the second layer of tape, pinch one inch of the tape to make a loop. Continue wrapping the tape once you make the first loop for five to ten inches and then pinch the tape again to create a second loop. A wider gap between the loops works best if you want to tie the bucket around your waist. A narrower gap between the loops works best if you plan to carry the bucket via a shoulder strap. Wrap the tape around the bucket one more time, layering over the loops so they are double layered. This will make them strong enough to withstand the pull of the rope. Turn the bucket upside down, with the opening on the ground. Then, put duct tape on the bucket vertically over the wrapped section to secure it further. Do this three to four times. Thread the rope through the loops and tie the bucket to your waist or make a shoulder strap with the rope and carry the bucket that way., A: Download the stock firmware for your device.

The summary of "The siliconized acrylic latex will act as a second caulk and will make the surface even easier to paint. The silicone acrylic latex will typically come in a bottle. Use scissors to cut the tip of the applicator on the bottle at a 45-degree angle. Then, load it into a caulking gun. Use the caulking gun to apply the acrylic latex to the caulk. Wait 10 minutes for it dry before moving on to the next step. Apply steady and firm pressure while using the caulking gun. A caulking gun can be purchased at any home improvement store. Check the label for exact instructions on the drying time. An oil-based primer will stick to silicone the best. Use a paintbrush to apply a thin and even layer of primer. Wait about 1 hour and then apply a second layer. After the second application of primer, wait at least 1 more hour before using the oil-based paint on the silicone. Check the product’s label for a precise drying time. Read the instructions on the paint label before application. Then, use a paintbrush to apply the first layer of paint. Wait 6 to 8 hours and then apply a second layer, if needed. Allow the paint to dry completely before allowing the silicone to get wet or exposing it to moisture. Oil-based paint is the type of paint that sticks best to silicone. On average, oil-based paint dries within 6 to 8 hours, but check the label on the paint for a precise drying time." is Reboot your computer. Launch your browser again. Load a page that requires Flash.
