The answer of "Summarize the following the eggs. Place 7 eggs into a saucepan, then cover them with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Add a pinch of salt, then boil them, covered, for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off, and let the eggs sit in the saucepan for another 15 minutes; don’t remove the lid. If you have a different method for hard boiling eggs that you prefer to you, go ahead and use it. The color of the egg shells does not matter; you can use white or brown eggs. You can use your own deviled egg recipe. Boil however many eggs that the recipe calls for. Lift the eggs out of the pot with tongs and set them into a colander. Run cold water over the eggs, then let them cool on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes. Refrigerate them for 30 to 60 minutes, then peel them as neatly as you can. Be careful not to leave any pits in the whites. If the shells are sticking to the whites too much, peel them under running water. When cutting the eggs, make sure that you cut them vertically, from narrow end to fat end--this will give you 2 identical halves. Use a spoon to scoop the yolks out of the whites and into a bowl. Fill a glass 3/4 of the way with water, then stir in a few drops of food coloring. Repeat this step for each color that you want to make. To get a nice, vibrant color, use 4 drops of food coloring for each 1 cup (240 mL) of water. You can use less/more food coloring in order to get the shade you want. The more food coloring you use, the darker the color will be. Every so often, use a spoon to lift the egg whites out of the dye bath; this will help you gauge the color. Once they reach your desired color, pull them out and set them on a paper towel to dry. How long you leave the egg whites in the dye bath is up to you. The longer you leave them in there, the brighter they will be. Prepare the filling while the egg whites are dyeing to save time. Mash the yolks with a fork first, then add the mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, and salt. Stir everything together until the texture is smooth and creamy. If you don't have dried parsley, use 1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh parsley instead. If you don't have seasoned salt, you can use plain salt instead. You can use a different recipe for the filling instead. Place a large piping bag into a glass and fold the top edge down over the rim. Fill the piping bag with the egg yolk mixture, then tie the top off. Snip the bag's tip off with scissors. For a nicer touch, fit the piping bag with a large, star-shaped decorating tip first. Arrange the egg whites on their serving tray first the cut side facing up. Next, pipe the filling into the hollow well the middle of each egg white. If a piping bag is too much of a hassle for you to use, you can scoop the filling into the wells using a small spoon instead. It would be even better if you left them there for up to 60 minutes. Once they have chilled, they are ready to serve! Garnish the eggs with a sprinkle of paprika for a touch of color." is Hard boil Drain the eggs, cool them off, then peel them. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, then remove the yolks. Prepare your dye using separate cups for each color. Soak the egg whites in the dye bath, then drain them. Use the yolks to prepare your desired filling. Transfer the filling into a piping bag. Pipe the prepared filling into the eggs. Chill the deviled eggs in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

The answer of "Summarize the following Avoid doing work, making phone calls, or paying bills in bed. Instead, get used to the idea that your bed is for sleeping or romantic activities. You want your bed to be a place of relaxation--not a work desk. Keep your bed free of clutter, and never perform work activities in bed. Your bedroom should be a relaxing safe haven, one that is free from stress, distractions, or anything nerve-wracking. Try to avoid doing work or anything stressful in your bedroom. Keep your bedroom free from electronic screens or noisy items such as televisions, computers, and phones. These electronics have been known to give out blue light which interferes in sleep. Other ways to have a relaxing bedroom space include painting your room a calming color such as light blue or light gray, using lamps that create soft light, and using calming essential scents such as lavender oils or potpourri. Essential oils can help you sleep better. Having a dark room is very important for relaxing and sleeping well in bed. The sleep-inducing hormone melatonin is very light-sensitive. Check to see if your room is too light by turning off all the lights at night. Wait for your eyes to adjust: if you can clearly see objects, there is too much light. Now you can look for areas where the light is leaking in. If you are in a city with lots of street lights outside your window, consider getting a blackout lining for your curtains or buying an eye mask. A room that is too hot will stop your core temperature from dropping, something which is necessary to switch on your body's sleeping mechanism. Your body drops to its lowest temperature when you are asleep so keeping your room cool can help. You should aim for a temperature of around 18 - 24 degrees Celsius, or 64 - 75 Fahrenheit. Being overheated can make you feel dehydrated, anxious, or restless at bedtime. Keeping a window slightly open, if it is safe to do so, can help by ensuring there is a good circulation of air. An oscillating fan can also help create the proper temperature in a bedroom during the warmer months. Be sure to keep your extremities warm. If it's cold opt for a warmer duvet rather than leaving the heating on, which can dehydrate you. It is especially important that you keep your feet warm, so you might want to wear socks to bed. A mattress that is made of breathable, hypoallergenic materials will help your body relax more effectively at bedtime. Be sure that your mattress is also your desired firmness and size. Choosing the correct mattress for your body type and sleeping style will contribute to a relaxing environment. Noise is one of the great sleep disruptors, and it can make you feel stressed out before bed or overnight. White noise is a calming, ambient sound that can help cover up stressful noises such as voices, cars, snoring, or your neighbors' music. White noise machines can be specifically purchased, or you can use a fan or dehumidifer as a white noise machine. There are also white noise generators to be found online." is Use your bed only for sleep and intimacy. Create a relaxing atmosphere. Keep it dark. Keep your bedroom cool. Choose the right mattress for you. Use a white noise machine to cover up stressful sounds.

The summary of "The smoke shouldn’t be going into your mouth or lungs at this point. You’re just using your inhale to draw the smoke up into the smoke chamber. As you’re inhaling, you should start to see the chamber getting cloudy as it fills with smoke. If you’re new to smoking bongs, only fill the smoke chamber halfway with smoke for your first few tries so you don’t overwhelm yourself. Set the lighter aside or hold it in your hand. Stop inhaling, but don’t remove your mouth from the mouthpiece or the smoke in the smoke chamber will escape. Use the same hand you used to light the bowl to pull the bowl out of the stem. When you’re inhaling the smoke, inhale deeply so it goes into your lungs. If you can’t inhale the smoke in the chamber all at once, take your mouth off the mouthpiece and cover the mouthpiece with the palm of your hand so the smoke doesn’t escape. When you’re ready to inhale the rest of the smoke, remove your hand and quickly put your mouth back on the mouthpiece. Holding the smoke in for longer won't get you higher, and it could be worse for your health. Holding the smoke in for 2-3 seconds will be enough to get you high. Blow the smoke into the room or out a window. If you're smoking with other people, tilt your head back and blow the smoke up so you're not blowing it in their faces. If you’re smoking alone, relight the bowl when you’re ready to take another hit. If you’re smoking with friends, pass the bong and lighter to the person next to you. If you're all done with the bong, remove the bowl and pour out the water. Thoroughly rinse the bong and place it in a safe spot where it won't get damaged." is Focus on your own behavior. Consider the type of friends you tend to make. Don’t compromise your personal values for friendships.

Context: If you are an adult, you must live in Texas for a full year, 12 months consecutively, to be counted as a Texas resident in the eyes of universities. In order to establish the start of this year, get utility bills in your name, just as you would to get your driver's license or ID from the state of Texas. This will prove that you have established a domicile in Texas on that date. If you have lived in Texas for longer than a year then you are already a resident in the eyes of the university system of Texas. Dependents, meaning someone who is still financially supported by their parents or guardians, can prove residency in ways other than a year of living and working in Texas. The ways to prove the residency of a dependent include: Graduate from a Texas high school in the year before you intend to attend a Texas university. You need to have been enrolled in that school for the three years prior to graduation for your graduation to establish residency. Be claimed on your parent's income tax as a dependent, if they themselves are residents of Texas. This means that they need to have been working in Texas for the year before you intend to begin college. Conversely, be sure you are not claimed as a dependent if they live outside the state of Texas and you reside within. Follow that institutions instructions for proving your residency in a timely manner, in other words before your school year begins. Your residency status has a huge impact on the amount of tuition that you are required to pay to go to college, so you don't want any unforeseen problems arising at the last moment., Summary: Practice caution. Swim in designated areas. Teach children the rules.

The answer of "Summarize the following If you don't have all the necessary equipment, you can try placing a glass or ceramic bowl into the water, but it may be a bit harder to work with. A double boiler slowly melts the chocolate, preventing it from bubbling up and burning to a crisp. Add your chocolate chunks, stirring often. If it gets too hot, turn the heat down. Once they are near completely melted, remove from the heat, stirring until smooth and warm. Not hot. The handy microwave is always an option. Heat on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Note: With a microwave, there's a greater risk of scorching your chocolate. Raise it and allow the extra chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Roll it around, turning the stick, allowing every bit of the apple to get a nice, thorough coating. If the bits next to the Popsicle stick are proving a bit hard to reach, grab a spoon and dash on a pinch to any hard to reach spots. Even it out; the layering should be equal on all sides. You may have to use your hands and get in there to ensure the entire apple is coated evenly. If the topping is dripping off under the weight, pat it down on each side. If you're using a drizzle, place the apples on the cookie sheet, Popsicle stick up. Then, simply take a spoonful of your drizzle and hold it about six inches (15 cm) above your apples, creating lines of varying thickness across the paper. The Popsicle sticks should be pointing up. Put it into the refrigerator to chill, until the chocolate is set." is Make a double boiler. Dunk each apple into the chocolate. Roll the apple in your topping. Place your apples on the cookie sheet.

The answer of "Summarize the following A trigger is an element in your environment that causes a sudden emotional reaction in you that is disproportionate to the trigger itself. There are some common triggers, but everyone has a different set of circumstances that causes these frustrated feelings. Do you get frustrated when you are forced to wait and do nothing? For example, traffic jams or waiting in a check-out line. Do you get frustrated when people do not meet your personal expectations or disrupt your work? For instance, someone sending you a text or email that throws off your day. Do you get frustrated with difficult problems? For instance, does difficult homework tend to provoke an outburst? Knowing what tends to touch a nerve will help you recognize when these feelings are likely to strike and avoid the trigger as often as possible. Triggers are often automatic reactions, so simply knowing your triggers can often help control when you're presented with one. For example, keep your phone on silent when you need to work without disruption or get up and take a break from a difficult work or school assignment if you can feel it building toward an outbreak of frustration. If you simply cannot avoid the trigger, try your best to realize that triggers are themselves thought patterns that you can choose to allow or not despite how hard it is to change them. Once triggered, take time to think rather than reacting impulsively. Relaxed, regulated breathing changes the chemistry of the brain so activity is dominated by the thoughtful neocortex, not the fight-or-flight amygdala. This is how conscious, focused breathing can help you to avoid impulsive action or rash words. Breathe deeply. Before you act out of anger or frustration, pause and a take a deep breath. Count to four slowly as you breathe in, then count to four again as you breathe out. Repeat until you feel calm. People can be irrational, self-centered, unfair, and inconsistent. You can always control your own reaction, but never the other person's behavior. Accept the limitations of others. For instance, say you have a friend who is always late for everything but is otherwise a great friend. Manage your expectation by realizing that you simply cannot make your friend show up on time, but you can control what you invite her to. If you know that punctuality is one of your triggers, then avoid putting her in situations where promptness is an issue. Cultivate your own self-sufficiency. Feeling helpless may be overcome by setting and working on goals in whatever may be important to you. So, is your frustration due to something you could take on yourself as a short term goal? For example, if you are frustrated with how your roommate doesn't take out the trash though previously agreed, maybe you should just take it out yourself rather than simmer in hostility. Then ask the other person to do a different chore instead. Avoid perfectionism in dealing with people. People can be frustrating when they do not act consistently. But that is simply being human - humans are not robots or computers. That can be disappointing, but accepting that the other is not perfect, (and neither are you) is important in dealing with people. Frustration is a stressor that causes the release of adrenaline and other neurochemicals, which can act together to make you act impulsively and even aggressively. Before you shout, make a rude gesture, or insult someone, stop and mentally go back over the relevant events. Check that your response is neither excessive nor insufficient. The goal is not to let others dominate/walk all over you, while not over-dominating and walking over others yourself. Ask yourself these questions to help you figure out how to respond to the current situation: Are things really as I perceive them? What might I be missing here? Will what happened now matter in a day? A week? A year? Can I express my concerns without hostility? Is there information I am trying to share? Am I as interested in seeing the situation clearly as I am in my own reaction or being "right"? Am I interested in the other person's needs? Can we cooperate? How you frame your situation will change your reaction and emotions. If you see your situation as a setback that you will get over, you are more likely to know immediately you can overcome the frustration. For instance, say you're saving for a new car but have to take some money from the fund to fix your current car. Instead of fixating on not getting the new vehicle when you'd want, remind yourself that it will only set you back a month or two and that you will overcome the obstacle." is Learn your triggers. Avoid your triggers whenever possible. Practice stress-management breathing. Manage your expectations of others. Check in with yourself about relationships. View frustration as "delayed success" rather than "failure".

The answer of "Summarize the following Because light colored leather shows all marks and stains, you want to make sure that you avoid staining the material. For example, if you own a white leather couch, you should avoid eating and drinking regularly on the couch. This will reduce the likelihood of stains. Alternatively, if you own a cream colored leather handbag, you should not touch the bag immediately after putting on hand cream. The oils in the cream can transfer to the bag causing stains. As soon as a spill, smudge, or stain occurs on light colored leather, you should wipe it immediately with a microfiber cloth. If stains are left untreated they will become extremely difficult to remove. For example, you should wipe down light colored leather shoes after every use. This will keep them looking brand new. If you have purchased a leather designer handbag or couch, it may come with a list of cleaning instructions. Always read the instructions carefully before cleaning. They may give you helpful cleaning tips and product recommendations. If you are unable to remove stains from your light colored leather products, then you should have them professionally cleaned. For example, a light colored leather couch will experience regular wear and tear from sweat or dirty hands. Have this leather professionally cleaned a few times each year." is Avoid spilling on and staining light colored leather. Wipe spills immediately. Read any cleaning instructions that came with the product. Get your leather professionally cleaned.

Passage: Though your thesis is essentially your personal opinion, it needs to be presented as a structured argument. Your thesis is a statement that others may hold a different opinion about. And which you will develop in your essay to show why you have this point of view. Check to make sure your thesis contains an argument that hits on the focus of your question. Revising your seatbelt thesis to: “Increasing seatbelt laws to include mandatory buckling in back seats will provide further safety benefits by reducing the percentage of fatalities in vehicle accidents.” better answers your original question. A very vague, large statement will require many pages for you to support adequately. A highly specific idea may not be a strong enough argument or provide enough evidence to back up. While “The fear of muddled class systems and the pursuit of the American Dream depicted in The Great Gatsby led to an age of consumerism and excess, which triggered The Great Depression.” answers your question, it’s slightly broad. “The themes of wealth disparity in American royalty, and pursuit of the American Dream presented in The Great Gatsby depict a parallel to real-world consumerism and excess which led to the Great Depression.” narrows down that you will talk about specific themes in the book and compare these fictional themes to the real world. This is also an example of a thesis statement which can be broken up into two sentences. Now that you’ve compiled evidence, revised, and come to a specific stance, read over the assignment again. Make sure that you can write a paper with your current thesis that will fulfill the requirements. If your assignment was to discuss the benefits of seatbelts, read your thesis again and ask yourself if it can cover the criteria. “Increasing seatbelt laws to include mandatory buckling in back seats will provide further safety benefits by reducing the percentage of fatalities in vehicle accidents.” In this thesis, you have taken a position that can be argued. You have made it specific by narrowing your topic a particular aspect of seatbelt safety. And you have given an answer to how your argument will discuss the benefits of seatbelts. If you’ve already done some research, which you should have to arrive at your thesis, you should be able to provide enough evidence throughout your essay to back up your claim. Before beginning your paper, make sure you have fulfilled all the criteria. Do you answer a question? Are you taking a position others can challenge or oppose? Is your thesis specific enough? Does it pass the “So what?” and “how and why?” test. If your thesis doesn’t fulfill these requirements, take a break and then go back and revise. Sometimes, after taking a step back, you can come back with a better angle. As you write your essay, follow your thesis and outline, but don’t feel that you have to compromise your paper to fit your thesis. If you find yourself needing to revise your thesis throughout your essay, do so., Summary: Anticipate the needs of the party. Add to party supplies or bring a gift for the host.

Q: Summarize the following: Use the division tool (Path->Division). This tool divides one shape in two, using another shape. Trace the shape of one of the borders. Then you will have two objects. They will be in order, so that the uppermost shapes cover the lower ones (if they are not transparent). It is important that the object that will divide the island be above the island. To ensure that this is so, use Object->Raise (PgUp). Select both objects. Click on one and then the other while holding down the shift key. Create a division: Path->Division. You should now have two objects. This is the basic process for dividing maps into regions. Continue with the same process to divide the map as many times as necessary to get a mosaic of regions. Although it almost always possible to make maps simply by dividing, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a look at the other options in the Path menu (union, intersection, divide path, etc.), because they are very useful., A: Pour the rubber from above the container to avoid air bubbles. Cover the object with the liquid rubber entirely. Wait a full day or night for the rubber to set. Remove the object from the mold.

The summary of "Locate the lint screen on your dryer. It may be at the top, on the side, or at the bottom of the dryer door. Check the screen and clean it of lint every time before you place a load inside. Grab the handle of the screen and pull it out until it is fully extended. In most models, you will be able to remove it entirely for cleaning. Only apply gentle pressure when pulling out the screen. You should meet with little to no resistance. If you bend the screen too much, it may not fit back properly into the lint trap area. Run your hands over the screen until you gather a small ball of lint. Then, rub this lint ball across the screen, as it will attract the leftover lint. Keep going until you can see through the screen without any blockages. Toss the gathered lint in the trash. Instead of your hand, rubbing a cleaning brush across the surface of the screen will gather the lint just as well. However, just make sure to discard the lint pulled from the screen, as it could present a fire hazard. Placing a vacuum brush attachment against the screen is another way to remove the lint. After you’ve pulled the screen out all the way, remove the extra lint and then run it under some water in the sink. If the screen is especially dusty, apply a bit of soap to the surface as well. Keep rinsing until the screen is clean and clear. It is not necessary to complete the step after each load, but it is a good idea to do a rinse every few weeks. This is especially the case if you use dryer sheets, as they can leave a residue on the screen’s surface. While the screen is out, peer into the lint trap. If you see any extra lint or debris, get out the extended vacuum attachment. Stick this attachment into the trap area, turn it on, and remove any materials present. Taking this extra step may prevent a clog from forming in the trap area. Before you place a fresh load into the dryer, make sure to fully clean the screen and trap. This will help to keep lint and debris from making its way further into the machine. It might be easy to ignore the practice for smaller loads, but continue with it regardless of load size." is Wear non-slip shoes with good traction. Walk where the tiles overlap.

The summary of "Talk to your vet about moving your cat onto a senior specific diet. Additionally, older cats may prefer to eat smaller amounts more often. Look for special cat food blends that aim to help with joint pain, urinary tract problems, and other common issues for older cats. If your cat has grown picky, try warming up the food. Just like humans, older cats are prone to more ailments. As such, frequent vet appointments can help detect problems early on. Consult your vet to determine how often to bring your cat in. As a general rule, take your cat to see the vet about every six months. Medical issues can develop quickly in an older cat, even despite frequent vet check-ups.

Passage: Unless you're a professional snake handler, this is your best option. Do not attempt to handle the snake or shoo it away. If you take photos of it, do so through a window. Instagram or Facebook are not worth being bitten by a startled snake. If it is safe to do so, keep an eye on the snake as this increases the chances that the snake handler will catch it and not have to spend a lot of time locating it., Summary: Hang out in groups. Spend time together in safe places. Look at their eyes. Partake in friendly activities. Do not touch them. Do right by the object of your affection.

Context: Hats are a common element in goth wardrobes, perfect for bad hair days and/or cold weather. There are all sorts of styles you can choose from. Beanies are a popular choice for basic gothic styles. They are easy to wear and customize. If you like, you can sew on skull or hexagram patches, or stick on button pins from your favorite bands. Bowlers are another great choice if you’re into a retro look. Wear them with a button-up shirt and pants or a cute dress. Wide-brimmed hats will give you a witchy look that fits perfectly into gothic aesthetics. This type of hat pairs best with your favorite dress, a top and skirt, or a shirt and jeans. Pentagram symbols can be found in most goth styles. You can most easily fit them into your wardrobe as a necklace, earrings, or even as a bracelet charm. Pentagram jewelry looks great with many outfits. Combine a choker with a pentagram-shaped pendant with a black dress, tights, and creepers. Choker necklaces have recently gone up in popularity and are very common in goth wardrobes. They look especially great with T-shirts and low-cut tops. You can buy plain black chokers, studded chokers, or chokers with pendants attached. Look for crosses, skulls, crystal pendants, or stars. Wristbands go perfectly with casual outfits, and can be worn with long-sleeved, short-sleeved, or sleeveless tops. Pick cotton wristbands with hexagrams, pentagrams, logos from your favorite bands, or leather wristbands decorated with studs or spikes. Many gothic outfits feature socks or tights. You can buy a pair of plain black tights (solid or transparent) and add stylish tears across the legs with a pair of scissors. Alternatively, you can buy a pair of patterned tights or socks. Skeleton bones, occult patterns, and lace are popular choices. Both boots and creepers (a type of low-top sneaker with flat platform soles) are essential to the gothic wardrobe. A great pair of boots will prove especially handy during the colder months of the year. Look for lace-up boots or a pair decorated with belts to match the aesthetic. You could wear black motorcycle boots as they are popular part of gothic fashion. Also, they have zippers on them which are handy if they need to be removed in any situations., Summary: Wear hats in dark colors. Acquire pentagram-shaped jewelry. Buy chokers. Wear wristbands. Cut up a pair of black tights or socks. Buy a pair of boots and/or creepers.

The summary of "Everyone expresses and receives comfort in different ways. To be thoughtful, learn what makes the most difference to your loved ones. Your mother may want a call every day, for instance, while your father doesn't care if you call much but would be hurt if you didn't mark his birthday with a thoughtful gift. What kinds of loving acts mean the most to your loved one? Do they respond most to acts of service, to gifts, to quality time, to affectionate words, to physical touch? Do they need to feel like you understand their motivations? Is it important to them that you are physically present at certain kinds of event? If you're not sure, ask yourself what you have done for your loved one that they speak of often, or that made them cry. If you're not sure, ask them. Brainstorm things that they like, and work them into your routine. For instance, if your parents feel supported when you do housework, assign yourself more regular chores. If your kid gets clingy when they need comfort, get into the habit of giving them regular hugs. Take a moment every day to consider the things you are given. Express your appreciation to those who give to you: from the barista who makes your drink to the spouse who stays calm while you panic about your missing keys. Notice the small things. You might not notice all the things people give to you—apart from materials goods, someone may give you time, emotional energy, or even thoughtful attention. When a loved one does something that affects you, think of their motivation. They may be doing it to make you feel good. Ask yourself if there are things your loved one does for you that you could do in return. Oftentimes, the things you think to do for other people align more with your own needs than with theirs. Therefore, if you want to find out what your loved one needs, you might look to what they give you. For instance, if your partner always gives you nice shoulder massages, you might offer them a massage in return. It's possible that they have shoulder pain and are unconsciously assuming that your shoulders hurt too. When you greet one another and when you have a moment alone, try to see how your loved one feels. Ask, but also observe. Do they look focused and alert? Do they look tired, sad, or worried? Are they frowning, tapping their hand, or checking their phone every three minutes? Ask your partner how they are feeling. "How are you? Have you had a good day?" Ask specific questions about things you think they might want to talk about If your partner seems distant, anxious, or sad, ask: "is anything bothering you?" You can say what you perceive: "You seem a little preoccupied. Is there something on your mind?"" is Eat a healthy breakfast. Enjoy more protein at lunch. Fill up on vegetables during dinner. Enjoy 2 to 3 snacks. Use your optional calories wisely.

The answer of "Summarize the following If you have access to multiple monitors, you may want to take a little time and determine which will provide the best experience for your console. Different consoles have different display needs. If you want to experience the game as it was intended to be played, try to get the best monitor for the job. You'll get the best image for newer consoles like a PS4 or Xbox One if you use a full High Definition (HD) 1080p monitor. Connecting HD consoles to a CRT (tube) will result in a blurry mess. Older consoles that don't output in HD will actually look better on older CRT monitors. Using a CRT for a system like an NES or Sega Genesis will give you a much more accurate image. Besides the image quality, it will improve your control in the game. This is due to the high refresh rate of the CRT monitor. The refresh rate is how fast the monitor updates the image on the screen. Connecting an older console to an HD monitor can result in poor control due to the low refresh rate. The image will also be stretched. This is the most important thing you'll need to know before you start connecting your console. Most modern monitors support HDMI and DVI connections. Some have VGA support. Older monitors may only have VGA and DVI, or VGA only. Very few monitors will have composite (RCA) support, which is what many older consoles use. Most modern consoles can be connected via HDMI. Most monitors have connection ports on the back. Many budget monitors only have one connection port. Older monitors may not have a removable cable. HDMI - This looks like an elongated USB plug with notches at both ends. It is the most common connector for modern monitors and consoles. DVI - This 24-pin connector is another common connector for monitors. It is not used for any video game systems. Luckily you can get converters. VGA - This is the old standard for monitors. Its 15 pin connector is typically blue. Most new monitors will not have this connector. No consoles support this, but you can get converters. Different consoles have different methods of connecting to a display. HDMI is the newest method, while the oldest are RCA and RF. PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U - All of these consoles support HDMI. The only exception is the launch version of the Xbox 360. These consoles also support component cables, though very few monitors do. Wii, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Nintendo 64, PS1, Super Nintendo, Genesis - These all support composite cables. The Wii, PS2, and Xbox also support component and S-Video, though it will be tough to find a monitor that does. The older consoles also support RF (coaxial) connections, which are essentially non-existent on monitors. If your monitor has speakers, you may be able to get the audio from your console to play through them. Most monitors don't have speakers, however, so you'll need to have something that can play the audio from the console. You'll need a converter to connect your console's audio cable to your speakers or headphones. If you're connecting via HDMI, you'll need a separate audio cable since the HDMI can't connect to speakers. Newer consoles like the PS4 may only support digital/optical audio output if you're not using HDMI for audio, which means you'll need a converter to connect to speakers. If you're using a PS4 and headphones, you'll be able to connect a pair of headphones directly to your controller, which means you won't need any converters or extra cables. You'll need something to convert to HDMI or DVI to connect an old console to a new monitor. There are many converters available. You can get boxes that support multiple old consoles with a single HDMI or DVI output to your monitor. Some video converter boxes may support audio connections as well. Most consoles only come with one video cable. Your PS3 may have come with a composite cable, but it supports HDMI. Get the cable that you need to make the easiest and best-quality connection to your monitor. HDMI cables work the same for all devices that support HDMI. Older connection types will require a cable that connects to your specific console. For example, you can use the same HDMI cable with your Xbox 360 and PS3, but if you are connecting using component cables you'll need console-specific cables. If your console is HDMI only, and your monitor only supports DVI, you can get an HDMI-to-DVI converter or special cable." is Get the right monitor for the job. Check your monitor's connection ports. Check your video game console's output ports. Get speakers or a pair of headphones, as well as an audio converter. Obtain a video converter box for non-HDMI consoles. Obtain the correct cable (if necessary).

Context: Turn on the broiler portion of your oven and allow it to preheat for at least 5 minutes. If your broiler has high and low settings, switch it onto high. Note that some broilers only have on and off settings; in this case, the general on setting is fine. Make sure that the upper rack of the oven is about 6 inches (15 cm) away from the top heating element. Completely remove the husks and all visible threads from the ears of corn. Use a knife to chop each ear into four equal sections. Depending on the thickness of the corn, it may be possible to break the ears apart by hand instead of using a knife. Doing so will give you less control over the size of the sections, though, making it harder to keep the sections even. Arrange the corn cob sections on a large baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Lightly brush each section with oil or melted butter, and sprinkle the corn with salt and pepper (if desired). Since olive oil has a higher smoking point than butter, it's usually the safer option for the broiler. Since the corn should cook quickly when sectioned, though, you should also be able to use butter without much trouble. Place the corn beneath the preheated broiler. Cook the cob sections for 3 to 5 minutes, or until some of the kernels begin to char, then flip them over to their other sides. Continue cooking until the other sides char, as well. Consider brushing the other sides with additional oil and butter before returning them to the broiler. Note that doing so may result in more splatter inside your oven, though. Remove the corn cob sections from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve the corn hot., Summary: Smile often. Use gentle body language. Have good posture. Be friendly to the people around you. Stay true to yourself.

Passage: You’re busy and your date is busy, so be sure to plan ahead. Offer a few different days to set up a date, this will show them that you're willing to plan around their schedule. Simply asking “Are you free Wednesday or Thursday?” gives options, while still being direct. This will show your date that you respect their time, but can still handle making plans. Asking your date if they'd prefer to go out on a weeknight or weekend is also a great way to show that you're flexible and want to see them on a day that works best for their schedule. Once you've picked a day, offer a few vague suggestions for your date to choose from. This will show them that you care about their interests and that you're going out of your way to make this date perfect. Ask your date "Would you rather have a relaxing night or get a little adventurous?" or "Would you rather we have an indoor or outdoor date?" Their answer will point you in the right direction for your planning. Don't be too specific when giving your date options. Keep some of your plans as an element of surprise. To plan the perfect date, you need to make sure that you solidify your plans. Whether you're going to a restaurant, going mini golfing, going sky-diving, or going to a concert, don't leave your date to chance. Call in advance to ensure that you get tickets, make reservations, etc. Some restaurants don't take reservations, and some activities won't require tickets. If this is the case, it's important that you come up with a backup plan for your date just in case your initial plans don't pan out. Sometimes, plans can fall through. One of you may be running late because of work, or maybe you got stuck in traffic. Whatever date you have planned, always have a simple backup plan just in case things go wrong. Even if your backup plan is your favorite local coffee shop, or hanging out at your favorite view of the city you live in, it's always good to have another idea in your back pocket. Make two dinner reservations at nearby restaurants – one at 6pm and one at 6:30, for example. If you happen to be running late for your first reservation, you'll have another reservation at a restaurant that's nearby. This will make a great impression on your date, as it will be obvious that you've thought this date through. Give your date an idea of what you'll be doing so that they can dress appropriately and be prepared. More adventurous dates may require some athletic clothing, fancier dates may require a dressier attire. Give your date at least a day in advance so that they don't feel rushed or unprepared. For example, if you're planning on going hiking, give your date a heads up to wear sneakers and comfortable clothing. High heels and hiking aren't a good time. If you plan on going to an opera, tell your date to have fun getting dressed up for a romantic night on the town. If they're underdressed for something like the opera, they may feel uncomfortable, resulting in them not enjoying the date. If your date goes tremendously well, neither of you will want it to end. Pick a fun place to have drinks or coffee, just in case you'd like your date to continue. Ideally, you should choose a location near your date's home. This will show that you've considered their time and are not trying to pressure them to stay out longer than they'd like to. Instead of picking an actual location, offering to take a walk or go for a scenic drive is a great option to spend more time with your date. Your date may offer for you to come back to their place – that's perfectly fine! However, it's important to let your date make that suggestion, otherwise you may come off a bit pushy., Summary: Understand that training does not guarantee you a position. Plan to devote 4 to 8 weeks to training. Study before training begins. Accept that company-specific training is required. Arrive at training well-prepared.

Q: Summarize the following: . The rules of football are fairly simple. The only one that is difficult to grasp is the offside rule. Otherwise, the rules are very basic. Here's a quick list of them: You can't touch the ball with your hands. That's a handball. If you commit a handball in your own penalty box, you will give away a penalty to the other team. If the handball was on purpose, you can even get sent off. No reckless tackles. That's a foul. If you commit a foul outside of your own penalty box, you will give away a free kick. If you commit a foul inside of your own penalty box, you will give away a penalty kick. If the foul wasn't too bad but was notable, you may receive a yellow card. Think of it as a strict warning. Two yellow cards means you get a red card. If the foul was very dangerous, you may receive a red card. Even with just one red card, you will be sent off of the pitch and not be allowed back on until the end of the game. The same rule applies if you get two yellow cards. You must take a throw in with both feet on the ground and both hands above your head. Click the link to learn the offside rule. If you have a channel like ESPN or Sky Sports on your television, take full advantage of it. Don't only watch your favourite team play, watch lower and higher leagues play too. This will allow you to notice what the better team did that the lower team didn't do and how it affected the game. For example, one team might have passed really well, leading to a lot of scoring opportunities, leading to a lot of goals. Try to incorporate these kind of tactics into your games. Make sure you take note of every position, but especially the one you hope to become proficient in., A: Learn the rules Watch a lot of games.

The summary of "Never eat ground meat that is still pinkish. Cook ground meat until the thickest part of the meat reaches 160° F (71° C). Ground poultry should reach 165° F (74° C) at the thickest part; all other non-ground cuts of meat should be cooked to at least 145° F (63° C). Avoid runny eggs or raw fish and shellfish that have not been properly stored. Do not re-use plates, utensils, or surfaces (such as cutting boards) that have come into contact with raw meat. Always wash these items before using them for cooked food, raw vegetable preparation, or serving. All raw vegetables should be washed thoroughly, whether they are from a supermarket or the backyard garden. Proper cleaning of fresh produce, such as leafy greens, helps remove dirt that may carry E. coli. Raw meats should be promptly refrigerated or frozen and stored separately from foods that are ready-to-eat. You should also avoid unpasteurized milk, juice, and other beverages." is Cook all meat thoroughly. Never cross-contaminate raw meat with other food. Wash all produce thoroughly.

Passage: Cats have a tendency to crawl inside drawers and love to sleep in confined spaces. Before alarming everybody and panicking the children, make sure that the cat is really outside. Call it and offer food. Quickly inspect its favourite places and look for an open window or door. Don't forget to check the garage and the garden. Your cat might just be napping on the grass. Look below the car and in warm places, where cats love to sleep. If your cat just left the house, don't panic. Ask your household and your neighbours to explore the area around your house. Cats usually don't travel much and are likely to be close by. Be organized. Assign a street or two to each member of the search party. Ask them to be systematic and to look below cars and behind bins. Leave your front door open. The cat might want to come home after a while. Make sure that it can access the house. Leave its favourite blanket or litter box outside to let the smell travel. It will help your cat if it lost its way. Don't forget to leave someone inside to check for potential intruders. Don't run. You might want to hurry while searching for the cat in the streets. Sudden movements will scare your pet. Cats dislike sudden movements and are wired to hide when threatened. If you live near a major road, make sure your cat hasn't been hit by a car. Cats are unfortunately prone to these accidents. If you have a pedigree cat, it might be worth going to the police station. Breeds have a monetary value and are targeted by thieves. Bring a picture and a description with you. Bring a picture and a description of your cat. It will help the police. Try to make sure that your cat hasn't escaped. You don't want to waste the time of the police. It is worth searching again in the evening if you didn't find your animal during the day. Cats hunt at night. They also dislike noise and are more likely to get out when everything is quiet outside. Remember that they have a better night vision than humans. Begin your search at dusk when the sun is still shining. The setting sun will create long shadows, which are ideal to spot your little friend. Don't forget to take a lamp torch with you. Remember that a cat's eye will reflect the beam of your torch, making it very visible at night. Point your lamp torch in all directions and below the cars. Look for the typical reflection in the retina. Shake a can of the cat's favorite food as you walk around. The sound might attract it. Cats like to sneak inside neighbours' houses for a nap or to eat food. It might be worth ringing bells to investigate. Start with the houses close to your home and extend the perimeter progressively. Don't forget to bring a picture of your cat. Give your coordinates to the people you meet. They might spot your cat soon after your visit. Be polite and apologise if you are disturbing someone. If you leave a good first impression, people might be more willing to help., Summary: Spray soapy water onto the air conditioner components to locate leaks.

The summary of "Before anything else, you must have strong skills in formal written English. Your spelling, typing, sentence structure and syntax must be practically perfect. To be a good legal transcriptionist, you will need to understand a great deal of legal terminology. Lawyers, judges and witnesses will not want to stop the proceedings so that you can ask for a spelling of a word. Creating a legal transcript is all about listening. Some forms of transcription work from an audio recording. If you are using that, you may have the benefit of being able to slow the speed of the recording or even stop and rewind. But many legal transcriptions are made from live meetings, hearings or trials. You must be able to listen and catch every word correctly. There is no formal licensing required to be a legal transcriptionist. Nevertheless, there are classes or programs that can help you. Seek out a business program at a community college, for example, or search for courses in legal transcription online. You may find courses in your local area or courses that are actually offered completely online.

Passage: If possible, salt whatever unpleasant food you have to eat to excess. Once you've added enough, it should only be salt you taste when you have to take a bite. Avoid adding so much, however, that the excessive saltiness becomes just as unpleasant. In theory, you can do this with any spice (sugar included), though salt is usually always at hand and salting to excess rarely draws any attention. Pour a bottle of peppermint extract into a small cap (like you'd find on a 24oz soda bottle). Toss the capful into your mouth. Swish it around as you would mouthwash. Spit out the extract and rinse your mouth with cold water. Your taste should be slightly numb for a number of minutes due to the menthol quality of the peppermint extract. Spearmint extract will have the same menthol quality as peppermint and is an adequate replacement. If you have no extracts of the mint variety, you can also reach for over-powering tastes such as almond or chocolate extract. Coat your mouth in the same way (using only a capful) and whatever you eat next will take on the flavor of the extract. If the flavors you're trying to avoid are in a liquid, use a straw so that you can bypass your tongue. Aim to have it land at the very back of your tongue so that it may go straight down your throat so as to avoid any contact with the taste buds on your tongue. This is same logic can be used with food. Push whatever you're eating to the sides of your mouth and chew alongside your cheek so that the food cannot reach your tongue. Try and keep your head tilted back slightly to encourage your food/drink to leave your tongue quickly and continue down your throat. With food or drink you do not want to taste, try eating it beforehand with food you like and following it with more. Try eating it quickly, but be careful not to choke or hurt yourself. The less time you allow whatever taste you're attempting to avoid to mingle with your taste buds, the less vulnerable you'll be to the unpleasant taste., Summary: Check your Internet settings. Open the Wireless settings. Name your network. Choose your wireless encryption. Choose a passphrase. Apply your settings.

The answer of "Summarize the following While all you really need to paint your nails is a bottle of polish, your nails will look more beautiful if you use a few extra products to ensure a neat, even manicure. Here's what you need: Clear base coat Nail polish Clear top coat Cotton swabs This will be a clear polish or hardener that protects the nail and helps the manicure last longer. Let the base coat dry completely before moving on. Some base coats are a little tacky, making it easier for the colorful polish to stick. Roll the bottle between your hands for a few seconds to warm it up and mix the polish. Open the bottle and dip the brush into the pain, then swirl it against the rim to remove excess polish. To paint nails evenly, start with a vertical stripe down the center of the nail, then a stripe on either side. Allow the polish to completely dry. Try to paint all the way to the edge of the nails without getting polish on your skin. It helps to angle the brush forward and press gently to make the bristles spread out. If you get polish on your skin, use a cotton swab to wipe it off while it's still wet. This will ensure that the color looks rich and even. After the first coat is completely dry, apply a second in the same manner: do a stripe down the center of each nail, then stripes on either side. Again, let it completely dry. This seals in the polish and adds a little extra shine. Top coat will help your nails stay beautiful for several extra days before chipping. Once your top coat is dry, the manicure is complete. Once you get the hang of painting your nails, you might want to try your hand at nail art. You could keep it simple by doing a simple two-tone look, or create mini works of art by using extra colors to paint detailed designs. Here are a few ideas: Do a French manicure Do ombre nails Create a marble effect Paint flowers on your nails Paint pandas on your nails" is Gather your supplies. Apply the base coat to your nails. Apply nail polish to your nails. Apply a second coat of polish. Apply clear top coat. Consider fun designs.

Q: Summarize the following: If you have an aloe plant in your home or near where your burn occurred, you can use it to get fresh aloe. Remove a few meaty leaves near the bottom of an aloe vera plant. Cut off any spines on the leaves to avoid getting poked. Cut the leaves in half down the middle and score the insides with your knife. This will release the aloe from the leaves. Collect the aloe on a dish. Repeat until you have enough aloe to cover all of your burn. If you do not have an aloe plant, you can use over-the-counter aloe gel or cream. It can be acquired at most general stores, pharmacies, and grocery stores. When purchasing a brand, make sure the cream or gel is 100% pure aloe vera gel, or as close as possible. Some products have more than others, but you should get the one with the highest possible amount of aloe. Look at the ingredient list of the gel you buy. Some that claim that they are "made with pure aloe gel" only have 10% aloe. Take the aloe you extracted from the plant or pour a generous amount of the gel into your hands. Rub it gently onto the burned area, making sure not to scrub the affected area or rub too hard. Repeat 2-3 times a day until the burn is no longer painful. You only have to cover your wound after the aloe vera has been applied if it is in a place that might get rubbed against or hurt without a protective covering. In this case, use a clean bandage or gauze that will not leave any residue behind once it is removed. If you want another alternative to simply applying aloe vera gel, you can take an aloe vera bath. If you have an aloe plant, boil a few leaves in water. Take out the leaves and pour the water, which may be brown in color, into your bathwater. If you have gel, pour a generous amount into your water as you fill up the tub. Lay in the lukewarm water infused with aloe for 20 minutes to soothe your burn. You can also buy bubble bath with aloe in it, but it is not recommended to use these products on burned skin. They may have other chemicals that might dry out your skin instead of hydrating it., A: Cover your doll’s face and body with plastic so she doesn’t get wet. Take out any clips or hair ties in her hair. Lay your doll on a bathroom counter with her hair in the sink. Rinse her hair under the water. Wash her hair with a bit of mild shampoo, then rinse it out. Rub a little bit of conditioner through her hair, then rinse it. Pat her hair with a towel until it’s only a little damp. Gently brush through her damp hair with a wire brush.

The summary of "If you were out lounging on your pool deck with nothing but earbuds on and iPhone in hand (how else would you be reading this?), you're going to want to put on some layers. Even if the meteor looming on the horizon will send a blast of heat from here to Fargo, you'll be glad you did. Pretty much any cause for an apocalypse requires long, comfortable clothing. You want a long-sleeved shirt and pants to protect your skin from predators, yes, but also from the sun and treacherous terrain. The apocalypse is no time to work on your tan. If you have time, grab a pair of boots. If you don't have boots nearby, go for tennis shoes. You may have to break into a dead sprint at any time. If you have the luxury, make sure you're comfortable enough in your clothes and shoes to flee. If for some odd reason your house isn't safe to stay in, you'll need to get out as soon as possible. With your map in hand, get out and get out now. Would you do best in the forest? Near water? Are you concerned with privacy and hiding from others or is there not another soul in sight? Your specific situation will determine where you should go. Again, if you can stay in your house, do so. A shelter is best and friends and family will know how to find you. Make an assessment of your situation. Be as logical and rational as possible. You may want to stay, but is it best for you and your family? Even if it's not nuclear, you'll be better off escaping the perils of weather and being exposed to predators by getting and staying inside. But if it's a blast that is putting down the human race, it's doubly imperative that you shield yourself from the radiation as quickly as you can. Basements are a good place to start. 16 inches (40.6 cm) of solid brick can keep radiation away from you, so you should fairly set there -- not to mention among your own things. One inch (2.5cm) of steel will do it too, but you probably don't live on the Enterprise. You'll probably want this to be from a remnant of your soon-to-be past and not a raspberry bush or particularly lively pond. A grocery store or even recently-deserted houses are your best bet. As you're scrounging, get a candy bar and chow it down. The last thing you want to think about right now is hunger. And stock up. Don't think in terms of days; think in weeks. Grab a few bags and start scrumping. What can you carry that'll last the longest? Think in volume and weight in addition to preservation. Cans are good, but they're heavy. But if everything is already picked over, don't get fussy; take what you can get. You'll need just anything to survive. Water. Get loads and loads and loads of water, or else you'll be drinking your pee in no time. It's safe to assume at this juncture that whatever is out there is not your friend. Find a weapon that you can actually use and start watching your six. When it comes to humans, there is no place for intelligence and culture now -- you do what you need to do. Don't flash your gun like you do your BMW. Conceal your weapons. You know that scene in Die Hard where Bruce had those guns taped to his back (despite the fact that tape doesn't adhere easily to pools of sweat) and pulled a one-over on that German villain either played by Jeremy Irons or Alan Rickman? That's going to be you. No one's going to pull the wool over your eyes. You're a weapon yourself. You've got your food, you've got your weapons, and you've staked out a place to stay. Now it's time to assemble a team a la The Walking Dead. Except that you want a team that is actually useful. When you consider taking on others (they're mouths to feed, after all), assess what they can do for you. Do they know plants? Are they a wizard with a javelin? Are they carrying their own stockpile of food? Okay, you'll probably want friends so you shouldn't be too picky. If you're not going to assess them for their goods, at least consider their character. Does your gut tell you they're trustworthy? If you're all alone, keep a look out for lights and fires at nighttime. If you see one or more, consider venturing out yourself to make new best friends, but only if you think the end would justify the means. How far away is the light? How quickly could you get there? What would you be risking by leaving? Are there predators or obstacles in your path? You may be better off being alone, for now. This will arguably be the hardest thing, especially if you're alone or wounded. But ultimately this hardship will be easier to handle if you remain optimistic about it. And if there are children with you, all the more reason. Do not let your ethics stand in the way of your identity. The rules are different now. Just because you decided someone isn't pulling their slack and the team should, therefore, cut their losses doesn't mean you've turned into an animal. Assess your moralities as you see fit, but understand that the world is a much different place now and you must adapt to it to stay alive and fruitful." is Grab a long-sleeved shirt and some pants. Come up with an escape plan. Seek shelter. Find a food source. Go on the defensive. Find other survivors. Stay positive.

Passage: Khaki shorts are a signature tourist choice! Don’t choose a nice pair of tasteful khakis, though. To really nail the tourist vibe, it’s best if your khaki shorts are awkward in some way. Go with a pair that is too long or too short, or try a pair that is noticeably tight or super baggy. Pair your khaki shorts with an oversized Hawaiian shirt for an iconic tourist look. Jeans and khakis both work well for this, as long as they’re high-waisted. Don’t forget to tuck in your shirt, of course! Cinch your waist with a brightly colored belt to further emphasize the look. Tuck a pink tank top with “Hawaii” scrawled on the front into a pair of mom-style, knee-length khaki shorts and you’re all set! Tourists love cargo pants because they can load the little pockets down with everything they need while they’re sight-seeing. Grab a pair of cargo pants or cargo shorts and stuff your pockets with items like folded maps, sunglasses, sunblock, chapstick, and your trusty disposable camera. You can go with any color, but khaki or tan cargos would be very authentic. Floral prints and neon colors are perfect choices. Knot the sarong at your hip and pair it with a souvenir tank top or your swim suit top. Slip into sandals or flip-flops and you're good to go!, Summary: Wear khaki shorts for a classic take on the look. Put on a pair of high-waisted “mom-style” bottoms instead. Wear cargo pants if you want to include lots of accessories. Wrap a colorful sarong around your waist for a tropical vacation vibe.

Passage: With a regular bustle, the end of the train is folded up under the back of the dress. This creates the look of a bubble hem and a fuller back to the skirt. A regular bustle may not even be noticeable to others, as it will just be assumed that your dress has just has no train and a full skirt. Regular bustles are usually easier to create on a skirt that is full but does not have a ton of tulle underneath, as the tulle would make it more difficult for the dress to fall naturally when it is bustled. The tie should be positioned so that when your bustle is completed, your skirt hem will be just off the floor. You, or your seamstress, can sew this into the seam of the skirt so that it is not visible from the outside. The eye hook should be concealed as well as possible. There are many that look like lace or decorative beading, so don't settle for an eye hook that is too obvious. Remember that the eye hook needs to be sturdy enough to hold up the train of your dress, so if your train is really heavy, be sure to attach a sturdy eye hook. You will probably need someone to help you with this. Attach the eye hook to the tie on the underside. This will make your hem bubble and your skirt look fuller. Straighten out your dress, making sure that the back of it is lying as it should. You may need to have more than one point of attachment to make the bustled hem look natural. If in doubt, hire an experienced seamstress to make this bustle., Summary: Preheat the oven to 375 °F (191 °C). Cover a medium-sized baking tray with foil. Rinse the chickpeas. Dry the chickpeas. Coat the beans in oil and spices. Spread the beans on the baking tray. Roast the chickpeas for 30 minutes. Season the chickpeas with salt and pepper.

Context: Narrow-minded people tend to want to stay on one course of action. They are usually resistant to new and innovative methods. Narrow-minded people may resist change or dislike things that conflict with their worldview. A narrow-minded friend, for example, may be averse to going to new restaurants in town. A narrow-minded colleague may be resistant to changes to your company's policies. While many people do not cope well with change, narrow-minded people may see change as inherently negative. A narrow-minded person may be unable to differentiate between different and negative. Narrow-minded people may be very opinionated about those around them. A narrow-minded person may be quick to judge others. They may also make negative comments frequently. A narrow-minded person make quick and absolute judgments about others. He or she will lack the ability to see the complexity in human behavior. For example, you have a friend who struggles with her weight. When that friend is not around, a narrow-minded person may say something like, "I think the reason June can't lose weight is a lack of willpower." A narrow-minded person is unable to see how weight loss is complicated and will simply judge someone. Narrow-minded people may have a tendency to believe the worst in others. A narrow-minded person may say something like, "I feel like Kate was late to the movie last week to punish me for bailing on plans Saturday." Rather than accept people are just late sometimes, the narrow-minded person assumes malicious intent. Narrow-minded people are often eager to take sides. They are also eager for those around them to take sides. A narrow-minded person is likely to escalate conflict in most situations. For example, two colleagues get into a dispute at work. The narrow-minded colleague may be quick to anger. He or she may approach you to talk negatively about the other party. Narrow-minded people cannot fathom differences. A narrow-minded person may be incredulous if you do not take his or her side in a conflict. Even if you don't know the details of the conflict, a narrow-minded person may say things like, "But you know what Jamie did was wrong, right? How can you not understand that's wrong?" People who are empathetic and curious take a genuine interest in those around them. Curious people may become less judgmental as they get to know multiple viewpoints. A narrow-minded person, conversely, may lack this curiosity. Narrow-minded people may not be interested in the opinions of others. They may be convinced they have things figured out, and may scorn input from those around them. A narrow-minded person may not, say, ask you about your day. If you talk about politics with a narrow-minded person, he or she is more likely to argue than ask you why you feel the way you do., Summary: Consider how open a person is to change. Notice how this person talks about others. See how this person handles conflict. Evaluate whether this person shows an interest in others.

Q: Summarize the following: Before you start your ponytail, part your hair dramatically to one side. If you have bangs, only part your bangs. If you don’t have bangs, just part a two inch section at the front of your head. Follow the steps for the basic pony, and then secure your bangs at the end. If you don’t have bangs, pull your parted front section of hair across your forehead, creating a draped line to the side. Then wrap the ends behind your ear. Pin it in the back of your head. If you have bangs, spray them with hairspray and brush them to the side. Try to keep them above your hairline to complete the look. There are two options for bangs if you are using long hair rather than actual bangs. You can let them hang low over your eye, or you can pull them taut to the side., A: Give yourself sideswept bangs.

The answer of "Summarize the following Most natural acid reflux remedies are safe for the majority of adults. Note that some herbal remedies, however, may not be safe for children or teenagers. It’s best to try mild lifestyle changes first if you need to treat acid reflux in an adolescent. If these do not work, consult your doctor or do some thorough research before giving an adolescent an herbal remedy. For example, you should not give aloe juice to children under the age of 12 since it may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and cramping. Most herbal remedies and other natural treatments will be safe in moderate amounts, but too much of a good thing can quickly become bad. When using herbal supplements, check the label for dosing instructions. For any natural remedy that does not have dosage instructions readily available, do some research to find out how much you should safely be able to endure. For instance, aloe juice can cause stomach pain and other forms of digestive upset, especially if the juice contains aloe latex. Long-term use of large amounts can also result in kidney problems. Consuming apple cider vinegar is usually considered safe short-term, but drinking too much of it can cause low potassium levels. High or prolonged doses of licorice root can result in headaches, fatigue, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and water retention. Do not take licorice for more than 4 to 6 weeks. If you are not currently pregnant or are not at risk of becoming pregnant, most natural remedies are likely safe for you. However, for acid reflux connected to pregnancy, always talk to your doctor before treating your symptoms to make sure you do not inadvertently harm your baby. It’s important that you do this before trying any herbal remedy, dietary fix, or lifestyle change. Similarly, if you are currently breastfeeding, you may need to stay away from certain ingested remedies since they could get into your breastmilk and harm your baby. Most lifestyle remedies will likely be safe, though. Potentially problematic remedies for pregnant and breastfeeding women include, but are not limited to, aloe juice, apple cider vinegar, ginger, fennel, licorice, and slippery elm. In addition to pregnancy, certain medical conditions may also make herbal remedies or other natural fixes unsafe. If you have a known health concern other than acid reflux, talk to your doctor or do your research before trying any particular home cure. Avoid aloe juice if you have diabetes, intestinal conditions, hemorrhoids, or kidney problems. Talk to your doctor before trying apple cider vinegar if you have diabetes. While ACV may have some benefits for people with type 2 diabetes, it may do more harm than good if you have type 1 diabetes. Ginger may cause problems if you have a bleeding disorder, a heart condition, or diabetes. If you are allergic to celery, carrot, or mugwort, you may have an allergic reaction to fennel. You should also avoid fennel if you have a bleeding disorder or hormone-sensitive condition, like estrogen-sensitive cancers. Licorice root may cause problems if you have heart disease, heart failure, hormone-sensitive cancers, fluid retention, hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, or low potassium. If you have an immune system disorder, you may need to avoid taking probiotic supplements." is Use herbal remedies as an adult with acid reflux. Try natural remedies in moderation. Consider natural remedies if you're not pregnant or breastfeeding. Exercise caution if you have other medical conditions.

Q: Summarize the following: Whatever pool you buy, it will actually cost you a lot more over time than just the sticker price. Add how much you will have to pay for pool maintenance and property taxes each year to your pool’s installation price to determine the actual long-term cost of the pool you buy. The cost of maintenance varies between different types of pools; more elaborate pools often require more expensive maintenance. You may also see your property taxes go up after buying a pool, depending on your local municipality’s tax policy. On the plus side, if your local housing market is on the upswing, then adding a pool to your property may ultimately increase its resale value. The most important consideration that will ultimately determine what kind of pool you buy is how much money you’re able to spend on it. Consider going with an above-ground pool if you want to save money buying a pool. Of the two most popular types of pool (above-ground and in-ground), above-ground pools tend to be significantly cheaper. If you want to add a long-term value investment to your house and you’re not concerned about price, an in-ground pool may be the right choice for you. In-ground pools vary in price based on what materials they’re made out of. Pools made from vinyl liner are slightly less expensive than fiberglass pools, while concrete pools are by far the most expensive. If you want to use a pool to exercise by swimming laps, you’ll want to make sure it’s long enough and deep enough to accommodate you. For lap swimming, your pool should be at least 4 feet (1.2 m) deep, 32 feet (9.8 m) long, and 16 feet (4.9 m) wide. Children and teenagers tend to use pools more often than any other age group. If you have children and want to give them a place to splash around or cool off in the summer, an in-ground pool with space to swim around in may be best. If you have 1 or 2 small children, perhaps a small above-ground pool would be better. These pools are significantly less dangerous than spacious in-ground pools. In-ground pools can be installed with heaters that allow you to swim during the colder months and not be frozen out of your pool for part of the year. Note that adding this feature to your pool will most likely increase both the installation cost and the costs of maintenance. Most heated pools are in-ground pools., A: Calculate the lifetime cost of a pool to determine your long-term budget. Opt for an above-ground pool if you’re on a tight budget. Select an in-ground pool if cost is no concern. Go with a long, deep in-ground pool if you plan to swim laps. Choose a spacious in-ground pool for more recreational uses. Opt for a heated pool if you live in a colder climate.

Passage: Cattle are divided into 5 different classes, based on 3 general types of intended production: lactation, breeding, or meat. These types dictate a variety of factors, such as if and when the cattle needs to gain weight. Differentiate your cows based on these types and specific conditions: Lactating cows—Consider how long they have been producing milk, how many times they have produced milk in their life, how much milk it makes, its pregnancy status, and the expected birth weight of its offspring. Dry (non-lactating) cows—Think about whether she is bred or not and how many months she is pregnant. Bred heifers—Consider whether she is bred or not and how many months she is pregnant. Feeders and Replacements—Feeding cattle for slaughter comprises of 2 groups of cattle: those that are "backgrounded" and those that are "finished." It's important to consider the targeted slaughter weight (or mature weight for replacement heifers and bulls), and targeted grade, marbling, and yield at slaughter. Herd bulls—All information already mentioned is needed, minus that for lactation, pregnancy, and carcass evaluation. Breeding plays a significant role in determining feed rations. For instance, dairy cattle have higher maintenance requirements than beef cattle, and so need to be considered differently. The kind of formulation used for lactating dairy cows in a dairy milking system is more complex than one for beef cattle, thus the formulation for dairy cows is usually separate from that intended for beef cattle. Dairy cattle breeds include Holstein, Jersey, and Brown Swiss, to name a few. In a feed formulation, Simmentals and Fleckviehs are also included with dairy. Beef cattle breeds (aside from Simmentals and Fleckviehs) are generally lumped into 3 categories: British-type, Continental, and Exotics. British breeds include Angus, Shorthorn, and Hereford. Typically, these are your average range cattle, or those cattle that have lower maintenance requirements and thus are considered better converters of feed into milk or muscle. Continental breeds, such as Charolais and Limousin, may require more supplementation in energy and protein when on a roughage or grass-only diet. But, if hay and grass quality is poor, then both will need more the supplementation to thrive. Exotics include the Brahman-type cattle like Santa Gertrudis, Nellore, and Sahiwal, and composites like Brangus and Braford cattle. The first group is linked separate because they need a little higher maintenance requirements than either the non-Simmental Continental group and the British-type group. In terms of assessing your animals themselves, hair depth, hair condition, and hide thickness are factors that impact how you feed them, especially going from summer into winter and vice versa. No matter how sudden or gradual changes in the coat are, if there are problems with the coat they should be accounted for when determining how and what to feed your animals. Hair depth—Length of the first layer of hair (the finer, softer hair close to the skin) should be more pronounced in the fall and winter than spring and summer when it is shed out and a light hair coat is worn. This is to allow the animal more external insulation against the cold. Depth isn't needed numerically, just whether it's in a "summer" or "winter" condition. Hair condition—This just asks if the hair coat is wet, muddy, or snow-covered. All of these conditions can compromise the insulating qualities of the hair coat, and thus the threshold temperature of the animal and that animal's maintenance requirements. Hide thickness—The thicker the hide, the greater the external insulative qualities, and vice versa for thinner skin in cattle. Herefords and Devons are known for having thick hides. Other beef breeds, from Angus to Shorthorn and Charolais to Gelbvieh are considered average. Dairy breeds and Zebu/Brahman cattle have thinner hides, but what's interesting is that Holstein-Friesians have much thicker hides than Jerseys. From a nutritional aspect, sex plays a very minor role in the differences of nutritional requirements. Studies have shown that nutritional requirements between heifers and steers or heifers and bulls (or cows and bulls) are not statistically different. Differences in sex only affect growth rates to a minor extent and how nutrients are allocated to bodily tissues: either as muscle or fat. For example, if growth rate between a group of steers and heifers was the same, and they were fed the same ration, the heifers would be likely to lay down more fat than steers will. The only concern with sex is the actual diet formulating in regard to reproduction, especially when it comes to cows. Females, especially mature cows, are probably the most difficult to formulate for because they have different requirements that are associated with where they are in their reproductive cycle (i.e., how many months into pregnancy they are, or how far along in their lactation cycle they are)., Summary: Consider the productivity status of your cattle. Consider the breed and type of cattle you are raising. Assess the state of your cattle's coat. Don't take sex into consideration.

The summary of "It can be challenging to bring warmth and comfort to a large space, but the right window treatment can certainly help. Purchase curtains that are well-tailored and made of a fabric that has unique details to make your living room feel inviting. Pick colors and textures that fit with your specific style. For instance, you may choose a red, orange, and purple aztec pattern for your curtains if your style is laid back boho, or you might choose a simple black and white geometric pattern if your style is more modern. For a bold, but polished, look, layer sheer curtains under a heavier panel. Especially if you have vaulted ceilings, allow your curtains to take up as much of the wall as possible to fill up the space. Position your curtain rod about 20 inches (51 cm) above the top of your window, or about halfway between the top of the window and the ceiling, to bring a bold attractiveness to your living room. You’ll likely have a lot of large, blank wall space to fill in your living room. Get a couple large scale art pieces that really stand out to you. Make sure they go along with the rest of your decor, whether it’s classic, modern, or another style. Wall art can fill up some of that overwhelming wall space and provide your room with a warm ambiance. If your style is more traditional, go for a classic portrait or landscape painting. If you want to keep the decor more modern, go for an abstract piece that displays interesting shapes and colors. To create a gallery wall, arrange 3 or more paintings, drawings, or photographs on a single wall. To tie everything together, spread identical accessories around your living room. This works best in groups of 3 because it isn’t too many of one thing, but it helps the room to look relatively uniform and cohesive. Put 1 throw pillow on 1 couch, another identical throw pillow on a 2nd couch, and then a 3rd one on a big chair. You can also do this with small book shelves, lamps, and more. Use tall potted plants and/or trees to fill up any spaces in the room that still feel bare. The corners are typically a great place for these kinds of plants. This may bring a refreshing earthiness to the room and also help break up the vertical space. Make sure you choose a plant that does well indoors with little sunlight, or go with a location that’s near a couple of windows. Feel free to choose a faux plant, if desired." is Read music magazines for background info. Re-listen to the band's music. Practice what you want to say. Watch what you eat. Pack toiletries.

Context: You can’t take everything with you when packing for a trip abroad, but you’ll need space for enough clothes and belongings to keep you comfortable throughout your year away from home. It’s reasonable to bring two large suitcases – three would be too many, and one would be too few. Alternatively, you can bring a large backpack and a daypack. Use the backpack to carry your essential items – clothes, boots, and so on. Use the daypack to bring things you need when leaving your hotel or hostel like a water bottle, phone, and money. Choose a wardrobe to bring with you based on the climate of the place you’re going and which pieces you’ll wear on an everyday basis. Anticipate what you’ll need, and what will make you feel most comfortable. Learn more about the climate and seasonal weather patterns of the place you’re headed and pack your wardrobe accordingly. If you’re headed for the Caribbean, you can probably leave your parka and mittens at home. If you’re studying abroad in Switzerland, on the other hand, you won’t have much use for shorts or flip-flops. Don’t forget essentials. You should pack two weeks’ worth of underwear and socks to keep laundry costs down. Include a pair of sturdy and comfortable walking shoes. Some of what you bring can be determined by your personal preferences. You might want to bring a favorite set of pajamas, or that t-shirt from your favorite band. Be versatile when packing. Look for outfits that would be appropriate in both casual and professional situations. Choose clothing items that match well with many other items. If you’re working, studying, or attending social occasions in another country, you might be considered disrespectful for dressing in a slovenly manner. Choose clothing that is professional and projects the sense that you’re a mature, responsible person. Failing to do so could result in you packing a lot of clothing that ends up serving no use while you’re in-country. Do some investigating about cultural mores in the country where you’ll be spending your year abroad. If you have a trip coordinator, ask them about what kinds of clothing is acceptable in the nation you’re headed to. Avoid wearing sweatpants, hoodies, and flip-flops to class or work. Bring at least one formal outfit in case you have the opportunity to attend a formal event. Keep your packing minimal. Lay everything you plan on bringing on the floor and evaluate each item one-by-one. Ask yourself, “Will I get a lot of use out of this? Is there some way I could avoid bringing this?” For instance, if you have three sets of shoes, you might conclude, “I could do with a single pair of shoes in order to pack lighter.”, Summary: Use a quality tuner to avoid snapping strings. Tune the high E and B strings to regular pitch. Raise the remaining strings an octave higher than a regular guitar. Stretch your strings gently and retune them.

The answer of "Summarize the following This is an important event so it’s normal to feel a little nervous. If you get to choose the place, pick somewhere that is convenient and a good place to talk. You could suggest a quiet cafe or coffee shop or even meet in a pretty park. You can say something like, "Would you like to meet at The Coffee Shop? It's quiet, comfortable, and has great drinks." If your first meeting will include the parents, it might take place at the home of one of the families. Ask for it to be your family’s home if that makes you feel more comfortable. Ask to change locations if someone suggests meeting in a place that you don’t care for. You want to show the other person that you are taking this seriously, so don’t be too casual.

The summary of "This form of bipolar disorder is the most commonly known manic-depressive form of the illness. A person classified as bipolar I must experience at least one manic episode or mixed episode. People with bipolar I disorder may also experience a depressive episode. People with bipolar I are the most likely to experience highs that lead to risky behavior. This form of the illness is often disruptive to one's work life and relationships. Those affected by Bipolar I are more likely to attempt suicide, with a completed suicide rate of 10-15%. People suffering from bipolar I are also at a high risk of having or developing a substance abuse problem. There is also a connection between bipolar I and hyperthyroidism. This makes it even more important to see a doctor. This variation involves less intense manic episodes and full-blown depressive episodes. The person may sometimes experience a muted version of hypomania, but the underlying state is usually depression. People with bipolar II disorder are often misdiagnosed as having depression. To tell the difference, one must look for the distinguishing characteristics of bipolar depression. Bipolar depression is different from MDD because it is often paired with manic symptoms. Sometimes there is overlap between the two. It takes a qualified professional to distinguish between these conditions. For people with bipolar II, mania may manifest as anxiety, irritability, or racing thoughts. Bursts of creativity and activity are less common. Like bipolar I, there is a high risk for suicide, hyperthyroidism, and substance abuse in bipolar II. Bipolar II tends to be more common in women than men. This is a milder form of bipolar disorder that involves mood swings with less severe instances of mania and depression. The mood swings tend to operate on a cycle, going back and forth between depression and mania. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM): Cyclothymia begins early in life and its onset is usually in adolescence and early adulthood. Cyclothymia is equally common in men and women. As with bipolar I and II, there is an increased risk of substance abuse for those affected by cyclothymia. Sleep disorders are also commonly found alongside cyclothymia." is Choose your thread. Roll two pieces of clear Scotch tape and attach them to your work table.

Passage: Vocalizing is generally not your cat's preferred mode of communication. A cat's "first language" consists of a complex system of scent, facial expression, complex body language, and touch. Cats soon realize that we don't understand the non-verbal signals they send to each other, so they vocalize in an attempt to communicate in our language. By observing which sounds elicit which actions from us, a cat is always learning how to make requests or demands. If you watch what your cat is doing when he or she meows, you may be able to distinguish which meows are associated with which requests (or protests). While specific meows can vary from cat to cat, there are certain types of meows that are usually associated with specific cat emotions, such as purring or hissing. The short meow is used as a standard greeting and general acknowledgment. Multiple meows indicate excited greetings. You may notice a more enthusiastic greeting with increased meowing if you have been gone for a longer period of time than usual. A mid-pitched meow may indicate a plea for something like food or water. A longer, drawn-out "mrrroooow" is a more persistent demand for a need or want. A low-pitched "MRRRooooowww" indicates a complaint, displeasure, or preparation to fight. A loud, lower than mid-pitch "Meow" often signals more urgent begging for something such as food. While meowing is the sound that we most often associate with cat vocalization, cats make other common sounds as well. Purring, a throaty vibrating sound, invites close contact or attention. While cats can purr for a variety of reasons, purring is most commonly associated with easy contentment. Hissing is a cat’s clearest sign of aggression or self-defense. It indicates that your cat is very unhappy, feels threatened or frightened, or is fighting or preparing to fight. While other types of vocalizations may be rarer than meowing, hissing, and purring, understanding them can help you interpret your cat’s communications more fully. A high-pitch RRRROWW! often indicates anger, pain, or feeling fearful. A chattering sound can be a sign of excitement, anxiety, or frustration. A chirrup, a cross between a meow and a purr with a rising inflection, is a friendly greeting sound, often used by a mother cat to call to her kittens A loud yelping or “reeeowwwing” sound may indicate sudden pain, as when you accidentally step on your cat’s tail., Summary: Understand how and why cats communicate. Observe meowing circumstances. Identify common non-meowing cat communication. Notice other specialized vocalizations.

Passage: Many men find women who wear make-up more appealing. Men typically like to flirt more with women whom they find attractive, so making yourself more attractive is especially important if you want to flirt with a co-worker. Eye make-up in particular can increase your flirtatiousness. Heels can increase your attractiveness to men. The higher your heels, the more likely men are to approach you. High heels can push your pelvis and chest out, arch your backside, and make your legs look tighter and more muscular—all of which make you more attractive. Perfume can boost your sex appeal but only if it is used sparingly. Spray once on your wrists. Rub your wrists together before dabbing them on your neck. This will give you just enough perfume to attract someone without annoying your other colleagues. While you should look appealing to your coworker, you must keep in mind that you have to look professional as well. Follow your workplace’s dress code. Avoid tight or short clothing that reveals too much skin. Instead, try to find clothes that fit your body’s shape without being too revealing. If you can, try using eye catching colors instead of revealing clothing. Wear jewelry to draw attention to your neck and arms. Make sure that your hair is brushed and styled in a way that both accentuates your features and provides minimal distraction to you while working., Summary: Differentiate an LOI from a contingent offer.

The answer of "Summarize the following When you talk to her, speak with respect. You should never rudely criticize her or say things which are demeaning. Just like it wouldn't be acceptable for someone to say these things to you, it's not acceptable for you to say those things to her. Try to think not only about how you'd feel if someone said something to you but also think about how her own experiences might lead her to feel about what you said. For example, only call her a girl if she is one. Is your girl older than, say, 20 years old? At that point you should be calling her a woman or a lady. When you call her girl, you're making her seem like a child, implying that she can't do things for herself, think, or act like the capable adult she is. Get to really know her for who she really is, not just what you think she is or want her to be. Ask questions about her. Dig deep. Take an interest in what she says, what she does, and what she wants. She'll notice that you do these things and it will show her that not only do you care about her but that you also respect who she is as a person. Ask questions about her religion, her political views, what it was like for her growing up, what she wants for the future. You can also ask the usual questions like her favorite color or food, but these kinds of things need to be balanced out with a deeper understanding of who she is. Listen to what she says. When she talks, you should be listening. Don't tune her out because she "talks too much". Pay attention because you might learn things about her that you didn't know before. Instead of fighting and insulting each other when you have a fight, talk things out. If you really want to treat both her and yourself right, talk about things that bother you when they happen or very soon afterward. Bottling things up and "keeping score" will just make both of you miserable. You also shouldn't talk behind her back. A lot of the time it's easier to complain about your girlfriend to everyone except for your girlfriend but this isn't fair to her and it isn't helpful for you. Solve the problem instead by talking to her calmly and finding a solution together. . Of course you should give your girl lots of compliments but if you really want to treat her the way she deserves to be treated, you might want to pay attention to how you give those compliments. With a little understanding, you will be giving great compliments that make her heart just beat off the chart. You don't want to give them out all the time for no reason at all because it will devalue them. You should focus on complimenting her when it matters, such as when she works really hard or does something really kind. You should also watch the language that you use. Sometimes, even though a guy means to say something nice, he accidentally says something that is hurtful. You have to be careful about how you talk because it can reveal a lot about how you think and also make the woman you're with very uncomfortable. Don't be vulgar, make off-color jokes, or be deliberately impolite (like farting in front of her). You also don't want to talk rudely about people or talk about how sexy other women are. All of these things may make her feel uncomfortable or hurt and you don't want that. When you talk to her, be truthful. Lying to her, even to be kind, isn't helpful and it won't help you to build a relationship of trust. Don't tell her you'll be helping your sick grandma when really you just don't want to go see a chick flick with her. This kind of behavior is disrespectful and sets a bad precedent. When you know that telling her the truth is going to be not only painful but also unproductive or unhelpful, try to lie by omission instead. If she asks you something like the proverbial "Does this make me look fat?" question, then instead of saying something inevitably hurtful, turn the statement around and tell her a truth. You can say something like, "I love the way that dress makes your body look but I think the yellow dress was way prettier overall."" is Speak with respect. Understand her. Have a discussion when you have problems. Compliment her in the right ways Watch what you say. Generally be truthful but lie smart when you have to.

The summary of "When shallots are growing, they send up scapes the same way garlic and other onions do. Small mammals love chewing on these. You can protect the shallots by covering the garden with fleece or a net, which will keep predators out. The netting isn't necessary until spring, when the shallots will start to actively grow. You can also protect the shallots from worms by sprinkling the area with wood ashes every couple months. Shallots don’t like competing with weeds, so it’s important to stay on top of removing them from the soil where shallots are growing. Just be careful that you don’t accidentally pull out the shallot scapes when you're weeding or removing grass. Weed the area by hand, rather than with a spade or other tool, to prevent damaging the roots. You won’t have to water your shallots much, even during the active growth phase, because shallots don’t require a lot of extra water. However, if the weather turns dry and you don’t get much rain, make sure the soil stays somewhat moist. If your shallots begin to flower, this will take energy away from the bulbs, meaning your onions won’t be as large or tasty. To prevent this from happening, cut off any flowers that start to grow.

Passage: You may think that to bulk up your muscles, you should eat more calories than you usually would. Eating more calories doesn't translate into building bigger muscles. Rather, the calories increase body fat, which obscures muscle definition. The key is to eat a diet that enables you to be lean, so your big muscles become more apparent. Eat balanced meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean meats. Avoid white sugar and flour, fried foods, and other high-calorie foods that may cause you to gain fat. Protein helps build muscles, so when you're trying to bulk up, it should be a mainstay of your diet. Try to increase your daily intake of protein to help build more muscle. Choose fish, chicken, lean beef, pork, and other types of meat to supply yourself with protein. Eggs are also a great source of protein. Beans, nuts, and other vegetables are good vegetarian protein sources. Dairy, such as milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt, is another great source of protein. When it comes to building muscles, resting periods are as important as workout periods. Get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep on the days when you work out, and avoid overdoing it with other activities that require use of your arm muscles., Summary: Don't eat too many calories. Eat plenty of protein. Take rest seriously.

Q: Summarize the following: Visit your local nursery or garden store to pick out basil seeds you'd like to plant, or you can buy them online. You can often buy a packet containing over 100 seeds at a very low price. If you're buying the seeds online, do some research to find out which websites have the best seeds. Basil needs nutrient-rich soil that is able to drain water easily in order to grow into a healthy plant. You can find well-draining potting soil at a garden store, as well as online. The container should offer sufficient drainage and can be made of clay, plastic, stone, or concrete. Use a spray bottle filled with water to give the soil a little moisture before filling the container up with soil so that it’s not quite full. Look for drainage holes in the bottom regardless of the material. These are critical to ensure good drainage and a healthy plant. Be sure to use a tray underneath your pot to prevent water from coming out of the holes and leaking all over. A regular clay pot is a popular option, or seedling trays made of plastic. If you’re using small seedling trays, try to place about 3 seeds in each tray. If you’re using a larger pot, scatter 5-7 seeds on top of the soil, placing them evenly apart from one another. It’s important to plant more than 1 seed in each tray in case some of them don’t end up sprouting. Aim for spreading the seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart from one another. You don’t need to press the seeds into the soil. You don’t need to add a thick layer, just enough to cover the seeds you’ve just planted—a layer of roughly 0.25 inches (0.64 cm). This will be just thick enough to protect the seeds while also helping them grow. Avoid packing down the soil once it’s in the container. Use a spray bottle filled with water to spray the soil with a little bit more moisture—especially the added top layer. If you don’t have a spray bottle, run your hands under a faucet or dip them in a cup of water and sprinkle the water over the soil using your fingers. Place the pot or container on top of a tray to catch any water that leaks out. You can place a piece of plastic over the container or pot to lock in moisture. Basil thrives in full sun but needs at least 6 hours of sunlight each day to grow properly. The best spot to set up your basil plant would be near a well-lit, warm window. Be careful if you’re setting the basil directly onto the windowsill. The glass window can cause the basil plant to become too warm or too cold more quickly than usual. If you are in the northern hemisphere, a south-facing window typically works best. If you don't have a space in your house that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day, consider using a supplemental light source. The exact amount of time it takes for your seeds to sprout will depend on the amount of sunlight they get, the soil temperature, and the available moisture. Be patient and continue to keep the seeds moist and warm., A: Decide what clothing pieces you want to make. Choose a pattern. Select your fabric and thread.

Passage: There are a couple of ways you could go about sealing the ends of the elastic. You can apply a product which was created to seal fabric, or you may choose to heat the ends. Either way, you want to be sure to seal the ends so that they won’t fray. Look for a fray-stop spray at your local fabric store and spray both ends of your elastic. To seal the ends with heat, quickly pass the ends through a flame to singe them. Keeping the shiny, finished side on top, curve the elastic into a circle until the ends overlap about a quarter of an inch. Be sure not to accidentally twist the elastic when you are creating your circle. The headband should lay flat on your head. Heat a hot glue gun to a high temperature. Press the button on the glue gun to release glue and drag it across the width of the top of one end of your elastic band. Carefully place the other end on top of the glue and press the ends together. Hold this in place for a few seconds. Be careful not to burn yourself. The glue will be very hot. Wait 30 minutes for the glue to dry completely before wearing the headband. You can also sew the ends together. Thread a needle with a thread that matches your elastic and put a few stitches through the overlapped ends. Tie a knot to secure the stitches., Summary: Open Facebook. Tap ☰. Scroll down and tap Settings. Tap Activity Log. Tap Filter. Tap the downward-pointing arrow on a post you want to delete.

Context: Shaking your baby can lead to brain damage which can in turn result in your child's death. Babies are very delicate and it is important to protect their very sensitive neck structure. Even if your baby is crying a lot and you're having a really hard time, you should never shake your baby. If you are struggling, contact local organizations that can get you some help. Never smoke or let someone else smoke near your baby. This can impair their lung function and increase their likelihood of death. Wood smoke may also be a problem, so make sure all fireplaces and wood stoves are properly ventilated. If you plan on going to a friend or family members house to visit and know that they smoke, call ahead. Ask them if it would be possible for everyone to smoke outside or in one room, away from your baby while you are visiting. If they are not willing to make concessions for the baby, consider asking them to come to your home for the visit instead. Remember that it is not a loss if you don't get to see them; baby's health and safety are more important. Overheating is another cause of infant death (as well as becoming too cold). Do your best to keep your baby at a temperature that feels good to you too. Check inside their blankets for being overly warm and do not over-do their bedding for the season. Take your child for regular doctor's visits and checkups, and see a doctor when you suspect that something might be wrong. Some cases of SIDS are related to genetic problems or other conditions diagnosed at birth. By being vigilant, you can help protect your child. If you do not have the money to take them to a doctor, you should be able to find local resources that can help you. Your pediatrician's office should have more information. Breastfeeding will not only give your child the vital nutrition they need, it will also help build their own immune systems and protect them from illness by supplementing with your antibodies. Don't feel bad if you can't breastfeed for some reason: it happens and you're not a failure as a parent because of it. But you should try as hard as possible to make it work. Another common cause of infant death is malnutrition and poisoning. This can happen unintentionally, so don't rule it out! Make sure you are feeding your child a doctor-approved diet that is well balanced. You should also make sure that items that could poison your child are kept safely away. Keep up to date on formula recalls and expiration dates as well. This is one of the most important parts of protecting your child. There is a lot of misinformation out there about immunizations but the experts all agree that the best way to keep your baby safe is to get them their immunizations on time. There has been a significantly increased rate of deaths and infections with preventable illnesses since parents started forgoing vaccines, and your child is at greater risk than ever., Summary: Never shake your baby. Do not expose your baby to smoke. Keep an even, reasonable temperature in the room. Get routine medical care for your child. Breastfeed if possible. Make sure your baby gets proper nutrition. Immunize your child.

The answer of "Summarize the following Place 4 tablespoons (36 g) of toasted sesame seeds into a small bowl. Add ½ cup (115 g) of granulated white sugar, then stir them together with a fork. Set the bowl aside for later. Toast the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat for 30 to 45 seconds, then let them cool before using them. Place 2 cups (300 g) of glutinous rice flour into a bowl. Add 1 cup (240 mL) of room-temperature water, then stir it in with a whisk. Once the dough comes together, knead it a few times with your hands to form a clump. Roll the dough into 1 in (2.5 cm) balls, then flatten them until they are 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) thick. Work with wet hands to keep the dough from sticking to your palms and fingers. Use about 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 g) of dough for each ball. The patties will be about 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) wide once you flatten them. Fill a pot with 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water. Ensure that it is at least 5 inches (13 cm) deep, then bring it to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. If the water is too shallow, the palitaw won't cook properly. Add more water, if needed, or switch to a deeper pot. Drop the palitaw 3 or 4 into the pot, or however many you can fit without them touching. Allow them to cook until they float to the top of the water. This will take about 1 to 3 minutes. How many palitaw you fit will depend on the size of the pot. The larger the pot is, the more you'll fit. The smaller the pot is, the fewer you'll fit. Do not dump all of the patties into the water or they will stick together. Place the palitaw on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to dry. Once the pot is empty, slip more patties into the water and cook them as well. Keep going until you've cooked all of the patties. Spread the palitaw out on the baking sheet; don't lump them together. Keep an eye on the water. If it gets too shallow, add more water. Let it return to a boil before adding the palitaw. Pour 1 cup (75 g) of grated coconut into a shallow dish. Place a palitaw into the coconut, then flip it over and press the other side into it as well. Do this for all of the patties, transferring them to a platter as you finish each one. This is just like dredging meat through flour and breadcrumbs when you make deep fried food. Don't let the patties cool off; the coconut will stick much better while they are still warm. You can serve them while they are still warm, or allow them to cool down to room temperature. Alternatively, put the sesame-sugar into a small bowl. This way, your guests can season the palitaw themselves." is Combine the toasted sesame seeds and sugar, then set them aside. Mix the rice flour and water in a separate bowl to make a dough. Form the dough into balls, then flatten them into disks. Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. Cook the palitaw 3 to 4 at a time for 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the palitaw with a slotted spoon, then cook more. Dip the patties in grated coconut, then transfer them to a platter. Sprinkle the patties with the sesame-sugar, then serve them.

The answer of "Summarize the following DID is characterized by the presence of alternate identities, often referred to as alters. These identities are often complex, with their own unique histories and physical and behavioral traits. For example, an adult may have a child alter. You may notice changes in voice and physical movement, in addition to changes of attitude and preferences. As different alters present, the person may report loss of memory or a sense of lost time, as they may not be aware when an alter is present. Moving between alters is referred to as "switching" People with DID may also experience anxiety, depression, self-harm, sleep disturbances, and/or drug and alcohol abuse. Severity of symptoms varies greatly among individuals. People experiencing mental disorders often do not seek or comply with treatment because of stigma associated with being mentally ill. This may be particularly true for people with DID, as it isn't universally accepted as a disorder, despite its inclusion in the DSM-5, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders describing diagnostic criteria for all mental disorders. Avoid contributing to the shame and embarrassment a person with DID may already feel. Acknowledge how difficult it must be to manage the reactions of others. This will show you understand the complexity of living with a mental disorder. Is the individual is a friend or family member, ask about their experiences to show you care. Strangers may feel very uncomfortable with questions about their mental health, so do not pry. Ask how they feel before and after "switching" to get a better understanding of their experience. Express empathy by recognizing how frightening, confusing, and frustrating these experiences must be." is Know the symptoms. Suspend your judgement. Ask questions, if you are familiar with the person.

Q: Summarize the following: Determine basic point-shoot capabilities of the gun. With an unloaded gun, close your eyes and point the gun in a safe direction with your finger next to the trigger, but not on it, at a makeshift target. Imagine pointing the barrel of the gun directly at the target. Open your eyes — the sights should be lined up exactly where you wanted it. At five yards, it should be no more than a couple inches off center-target. If the handgun is pointing high or low, this can be compensated for with practice. For example, almost everyone who has never used a Glock before has a high point-shoot location by 6–10 inches (15.2–25.4 cm) at five yards. But with practice, you will find that you can compensate for that quickly. If you then pick up a better-fit gun, you will find that it will point low. If the point is too far off, you might want to consider a different handgun. Side-to-side point-shoot inaccuracy may be a matter of grip or design of the pistol. You may need to try a rubber grip, different back strap, or larger or smaller pistol. But there is no sense in not trying to hone every skill in your bag of tricks., A: Identify jobs that are realistic. Fill any gaps in your work history with activities you can handle. Focus on what you can do. Network and identify leads. Contact support groups. Make sure you meet the job experience and education requirements. Look at the job duties.

Context: Take the loose petiole (blade) between your fingers and pull gently. If the petiole does not come off easily, leave it. Palm flowers and fruits take energy and nutrients away from the tree, attract pests, and create hazards for people walking below. Cut fruit and fruit stalks from the fronds or trunk and remove flower growth by hand. Fruit stalks and flowers should be removed as soon as they are visible. Place fronds in a trash bin made for organic waste. Palm tree fronds tend to have sharp needle-like protrusions that can prick those who handle the waste. Continue to wear gardening gloves as you clean up debris. Pick up any fallen fruit, flowers or seeds. Pests that can harm the tree are attracted to dropped seeds and fruit. Fallen fruit can also stain concrete and produce unpleasant odors, and the seeds can germinate in undesirable places. Consult your local waste disposal service department to find out how and where to dispose of palm debris. Palm trees do best when left alone. Green fronds produce all of a palm tree's food. Keeping them around is integral to maintaining the health and strength of your tree. For that reason, you should never take off more leaves in one year than the tree can produce in that time., Summary: Pull off loose petioles (blades) from the fronds. Prune flowers or developing fruit from the palm if your particular species is the flowering type. Discard of pruned fronds, petioles and fruit properly. Wait a year (or longer) before trimming again.

Q: Summarize the following: Pull your trailer onto a flat, level patch of ground. For safety, do not use slanted areas like driveways. Then, put the vehicle you used to tow the trailer in park and activate its emergency brake. For extra security, place wheel chocks in front of and behind each tire. If you’re using a trailer made specifically for towing cars, it should come with 2 heavy duty ramps. To use these ramps, simply pull them out of the vehicle’s rear body and make sure they’re parallel and secure. If your trailer doesn’t have built-in ramps, you can purchase a metal ramp from an auto supply store and connect it yourself by following the manufacturer’s included instructions. Do not try to create a makeshift ramp. Doing so is extremely dangerous and can result in major damage to you or your vehicles. Once you’ve parked the trailer, pull your car up behind it. Make sure to line your wheels up with the trailer’s metal ramps. Do not back your car up to the trailer as towing your car with the tail end first can cause problems like whipping or swaying. Put your car in drive and slowly accelerate up the ramp and onto the trailer. As you drive, the front of the car will raise up slightly, then return back down and distribute its weight over the surface of the trailer. Keep the steering wheel straight so you don’t drive on crooked. If you’re unsure whether or not you’re driving straight, ask a friend to help direct you. Keep driving until you’re centered on the trailer. Then, put the car in park, turn it off, and activate its parking brake. Finally, hop out of the vehicle and double check the car’s alignment. If you’d like, ask a friend to stand off to the side of the vehicle so they can check the alignment while you’re driving it. If you have a manual car, put it in first gear, turn off the motor, and set the handbrake., A: Park the trailer on flat ground. Extend the trailer’s rear ramps. Line your car up behind the trailer. Drive onto the trailer slowly. Park the car and check its placement.

The answer of "Summarize the following Many people jump straight into relationships soon after meeting someone simply because they don't want to be single. While this can fill one of your needs, you have no way of knowing if that person will make you happy in the long run. Instead, reflect on what you want out of a partner and a relationship, and what you find attractive. Think about things like: Do I want to be with someone who is career or family oriented? What do I find attractive in other people? Do I want someone who is spontaneous or predictable? These traits should compliment what you want in a happy life, so don't depend on someone else to fulfill your happiness. Learn how to make yourself happy first. The best way to meet people that have things in common with you is to go out and do the things you love doing. Inevitably, you will meet someone that enjoys doing the same things. This is a great start to a potential relationship, as you will naturally attract people when you are doing something you enjoy. For example, if you are an avid book reader, you might join a book club for people around your age. There are many organizations and groups from book clubs to adventure clubs that can help you spark a relationship with someone who enjoys similar things. The friends you already have are likely to have common interests and know other people with interests like your own. Sometimes, a friendship can transition into a relationship easily if there’s an attraction between the two people. Friends can also introduce you to someone that they know and think you’d like. Do not try to force a relationship with a friend. This can lead to a failed relationship and a failed friendship. Though the internet makes it easy for people to create a false representation of themselves, there are people out there who are looking for genuine relationships. You can explore dating sites and social media to meet people and get to know them. Always be careful when going out with a person you meet on the internet. You should always meet in a safe, public place." is Set up your pour over brewer and get out the coffee.

The answer of "Summarize the following A classic way to hint at a particular problem is to act as if you have the problem yourself. This is a great way to bring up the topic of bad breath to someone, especially to a person that you are not very close with, because it is a non-confrontational way to make them think about their own breath. Start the conversation by saying: “I’m going to go grab some water, I feel like my breath is terrible.” “Is it just me or does my breath smell?” “Can you smell my breath? I feel like it’s noticeable.” Another subtle way at hinting to a person that they have bad breath is to offer the person a mint, stick of gum, or some water (since dry mouth can also cause bad breath) and see if they take the hint. For a natural transition, try taking a mint first and then offering one to them so you’re both included in the transaction. Etiquette experts agree that if you offer someone a breath aid and they turn it down, it’s perfectly acceptable to nudge them into accepting with a kind “I think you should.” It’s a delicate way to let them know that you offered the aid in the first place as a hint. If they still don’t get it, have another friend or coworker try! If the person with offending breath has this problem often, their chronic bad breath may be caused by poor dental hygiene and not just their food choices or use of tobacco products. If it is an infrequent problem, the person just might not have considered bringing a toothbrush for midday cleanings. Either way, try showing them good techniques: After lunch say, “I’m going to go to the restroom quickly and brush my teeth; that dressing had so much garlic in it!” Show them or talk about how you always keep floss and mouthwash in your desk because you cannot stand having bad breath. If you’re close with the person, try saying “Would it be weird if I flossed my teeth right now? I feel like my breath is terrible, and it’s driving me nuts.”" is Pretend that you have bad breath. Offer the person a breath aid. Reiterate that they should try the breath aid if they turn it down. Exercise good oral hygiene when you’re with them.

Q: Summarize the following: Spend time thinking about your priorities, separate from the obligations and duties that must be dealt with. Take note of the happiest moments in your life, and prioritize the current facets of your life that deliver more moments like these to you. Remember, you don’t need to think about the practical side of things yet. Just focus on what truly makes you tick. Doing this will help you connect with what you care about deeply and what you do not. Keep the list short and sweet—no longer than five things. Ask yourself the following questions in order to connect with your priorities: How would you like to live your life? How would you like to be healthy and vital? How would you like to have deeper connections with people in your life? What will make you proud to be able to say about yourself in ten years time? These obligations might be survival necessities, like paying rent and buying groceries, or they might be things that others expect from you, like time and affection. What are the things that you do in attempts to avoid emotional or physical punishment? What do you do out of care and a sense of responsibility? Recognizing what you do out of fear for the alternative will sharpen your ability to see when you are acting from a priority and when you are acting out of fear, urgency or obligation. Slowly, you'll learn to make different decisions about what needs to be dealt with and when. Allow yourself to prioritize the things that you do from an internal, joyous sense of responsibility so that you don't get too bogged down to realize if the things that you care about most begin to suffer from neglect. Begin to notice which obligations can be altered, split, or delegated in order for your values and priorities to be upheld. Can an aunt, friend, or coworker help out with the obligation some of the time? Maybe some of these obligations are not really yours to uphold at all. To live without getting overwhelmed or confused about what your priorities are, it is crucial to surround yourself with people who make you feel comfortable enough to be confident and creative. When you are around others, try to be extra mindful of the people who make you feel alive and alert and who makes spending time feel like a chore. This will bring out your gut feelings about whose presence really nourishes you, making it easier to spend your time feeling uplifted rather than drowning in unsatisfying social obligations. Ask yourself questions, like “Do I feel valuable around this person?" and "Who makes my contributions seem silly?” The answers might be surprising. Do you drink, smoke, or zone out to the television frequently? Awareness of your vices is important not because you should punish yourself for them, but so that you can understand how you deal with life already. By becoming aware of the roles your vices play in your life you can learn how to use them responsibly without making them forbidden fruit. Recognize when you turn to them and notice how the frequency of your use ebbs and flows with changing circumstances. For example, if you go out partying to relax, begin to see this as just one of many tools that you use to deal with life. As long as it's not your only one, you will have the control to realize when it's a useful option and when you might want to use another tool, such as meditation or yoga. What are your most important qualities? Understanding the gifts you can offer the world can help you see the things that are worth dealing with and the things that you can leave behind. Take a few hours to think deeply about what makes you special so that you can better orient yourself to your real priorities. Spend time in a place where you can reflect. Try going to your favorite place in nature, or spending time near people who understand and accept you. When you can really be yourself, what qualities emerge? It may also help to ask people you trust what good qualities they see in you. We are often our own worst critics and have trouble seeing our strengths on our own., A: 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 "To annualize your income, you need a sample of the income you earn over a year. You can get this from paystubs, paid invoices, or even your bank statement. If your income is extremely regular, you may not need more than a month of income to complete an annualization. If you receive income from multiple sources, make sure you have information for all sources you want to include. It's easiest to annualize income using months. Add up your income from all sources to get your total income for that period of time. Make a note of how many months of income you used to get that total. For example, suppose you have 3 monthly paychecks of $7,000, $6,500, and $6,800. Your total would be $20,300 of income over a 3-month period. To annualize your income, use the ratio of the number of months in a year (12) over the number of months in the period you used to get your total. When you divide, your result will always be a number greater than 1. For example, if you totaled your income over 3 months, your ratio would be 12/3 = 4. Once you've divided the ratio, multiple the total income you found for the period by that number. The result will be the estimated amount of income you earn in a year. For example, if your total income over a 3-month period was $20,300, your annualized income would be $20,300 x 4 = $81,200." is Perform 75 perfusion procedures during clinical training.

Passage: Some people raise their voices during conflicts without really realizing it. Others yell deliberately in an attempt to exert power over the argument. Whatever your situation may be, yelling will only lead to hurt feelings and further problems. It will not resolve anything. If you're prone to yelling or if you catch yourself raising your voice, try switching to a softer, whispering volume. Whispering forces you to use a calmer tone and makes you speak without intimidating, frightening, or angering your partner. During a heated argument, many couples tend to dredge up things from the past. This may not be deliberate, as arguments tend to make people remember other things they are frustrated about. However, bringing up one or more unrelated topics will not solve the original problem or the ones being brought up. Ask your spouse to gently remind you to stay on topic if you start bringing up the past, then reciprocate as needed. Make sure you never act as though your partner is the problem. Focus on the issue or their behavior that caused the problem without attacking your spouse as a person. Focus on finding solutions, not placing blame. This is the best way to make an argument healthy and productive. If you and your partner can calmly and rationally work out a solution to a given problem, proceed with caution and remain respectful. If your intention is to hurt your partner or blame them for something they did, stop the conversation immediately. For example, if your spouse didn't invite you to a party and you felt left out, don't start an argument to make them feel bad or apologize. Start a conversation to calmly and respectfully communicate that you feel left out when you're not invited to things. If you're not sure about your intentions, ask yourself the following questions: Are you starting an argument (intentionally or not) to get back at your spouse for something they did? Is your goal to shame, humiliate, frustrate, or belittle your spouse? Is there a reasonable solution to the problem(s) at hand? Are you working towards solving problems, or just placing blame? What do you see as an ideal resolution? Are you actually working towards that resolution or simply starting a fight? You or your spouse may have grown up in a household where the parents fought constantly or said hurtful things whenever they argued. It's possible that you or your spouse may have picked up these argumentative tendencies without realizing it and without recognizing them as hostile and harmful. While this doesn't excuse this type of behavior, it does help give you context to know why you or your spouse argues that way. Once you're aware of it, you can begin to work together to change those habits to something more constructive. Don't blame yourself or your partner for these tendencies, but recognize them for what they are: unhealthy and detrimental to your relationship. Try to calmly (and without blame) help one another recognize these patterns in your speech. For example, you might say, "I'm not trying to blame you or detract from what you're saying, but I think you might be using unhealthy ways of arguing again.", Summary: Resist the urge to yell. Stay focused on the present topic. Acknowledge your intentions in the conversation. Understand each other's family patterns.

The summary of "Personally check the website of each college on your list and note the most up-to-date admissions deadlines. Set a schedule for completing each part of your application so that you’re able to submit by the deadline. If you are prone to procrastination, create mini-deadlines to encourage steady work. For example, you might plan to finish one new application each week, or finish a section of an application each day. Remember, your timeline will only work so long as you stick to it. Don’t let yourself fall behind on your schedule once you’ve made it! More than 500 colleges currently accept this standardized application form. You only need to fill it out once, and once finished, you simply forward it to all participating schools you are applying to. The app opens each year online on August 1st, so you can begin filling out your application over the summer (lucky you!). The Common App requires a "personal statement," a prompt-based essay of no more than 650 words. The prompts generally stay the same from year to year, so it's possible to start drafting your response even before August 1st. A personal statement will help admissions officers get to know you through some important aspects of your identity. Although there is no one correct format, the most compelling essays usually recount and reflect on a personal story. The vast majority of colleges require letters from 2 teachers, both from core academic subjects. Ask early on in your senior year. Otherwise, your teacher of choice may be swamped with other requests by the time you reach them! Choose teachers who have a high opinion of you. Ideally, your recommender will have seen you excel or work to overcome challenges and will be able to speak to your passion and intellect. Choose recommenders who have taught you recently and for longer periods of time; they will have the best personal knowledge of you. You probably shouldn’t ask a math teacher from way back in freshman year or the senior year math teacher you've only known for 2 weeks. Ask for your letters in person. You may feel awkward, but your request will have a more personal touch. Offer to send your recommender your resume, to help them write knowledgeably about you. Many colleges require essays specific to their school in addition to your personal statement. Like the personal statement, this is an opportunity to convey important parts of your identity in a compelling, readable way. Two of the most common prompts for supplemental essays are “What do you want to major in?” and “Tell us about a favorite activity.” Supplemental essays vary in word count between schools and some will ask you to write 2 instead of just 1. Be sure you read the instructions for writing supplemental essays closely before proceeding. Now that you’ve finished your application materials, you’ll want to make sure no silly mistakes have slipped through the cracks. Ask parents, friends, or trusted teachers to read it over, but make sure the words and ideas in your application remain your own. If you choose to edit your application for yourself, don’t do so immediately. Give yourself a day to rest and refresh your eyes, then come back to proofread what you wrote. Make sure your essays don’t become so edited by other people that they seem like they were written by someone else. College admission boards will be able to spot this and it will reflect poorly on your application. Not all schools require or even offer interviews; generally, schools will contact you after you submit your application with interview instructions. An off-campus alumni interview is a good and convenient option, but if possible, arrange an on-campus interview with an admissions officer, as this will hold more weight in the admissions process. Relax. Your interview will probably not make or break you, unless you show up in torn jeans and a sweaty T-shirt and start swearing. Research a college before going to its interview. Think about why you are applying to this specific school and what strengths you would contribute to it. Have questions ready for your interviewer. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the school, as well as to convey your genuine interest in a school. Look on the internet for some common college interview questions, and practice your answers beforehand-- but avoid memorizing responses in a way that will sound mechanical. Brush up on some current events. You don't need to know everything that's going on in the world, but it's not a bad idea to read the newspaper daily for a few days before the interview." is Breathe more slowly and deeply. Seek respiratory training for maximum health benefits. Try coughing. Practice pursed-lips breathing.

Passage: Revenge comes from feeling diminished by your aggressor and subsequently, you feel ashamed that you allowed this to happen. Such feelings may cause you to feel angry, leading to your desire to seek revenge. Emotions are felt physically, so recognizing the physical signs of each emotion can help you get them under control. For example, when you are angry, your blood pressure rises and heat radiates from your shoulders through the back of your head. Your emotions can drive your decision making by creating a deeper connection to each decision. When you are feeling angry, you might make more rash decisions than if you felt happy. Putting your feelings into words can help you come to terms with them and clarify your thoughts. Writing down your feelings can help reduce the intensity of your feelings, and help lessen your deep-seated desire for revenge. If you do not like to write you feelings down on paper, try talking to someone about your emotions. Find a trusted friend or family member and tell them exactly what is going on: how you feel, who was involved, the reasons for wanting revenge, how you think revenge will make you feel, etc... . Go to a quiet room, sit on the floor, close your eyes and focus on taking slow, deep breaths. While you are meditating, try to empty your mind of all negative thoughts and concentrate on positive things in your life. Mediation has been scientifically shown to reduce stress and may be a great coping mechanism for your desires for revenge. It can slow your thoughts and help you feel calm and centered. Your emotions may become overwhelming and difficult to handle. At times like these, try repeating positive affirmations to yourself to remind you that even though you aren’t in control of the situation, you are in control of your response. These are some mantras you could try repeating to yourself: “Things could be worse.” “I will take charge of my response to this person’s actions.” “I can make it through this.” “This is only temporary.”, Summary: Remove all food and dishes from your cabinets. Clean the interior with all-purpose cleaner or a vinegar solution. Let the shelves air dry.

Passage: You only need a few simple ingredients to make a healthy and delicious broiled or grilled halibut. Here's what you need: Halibut steaks Olive oil or melted butter Minced garlic Salt and pepper Lemon wedges If you're grilling your halibut, light your grill. Make sure it is heated evenly before proceeding. If you're using a grill, place them directly on the grill. If you wish, top the butter with a teaspoon or two of minced garlic. Test it with a fork for doneness. Serve garnished with a lemon wedge. Cooked halibut will flake away from the fork easily, while undercooked halibut will still feel solid and fleshy. Cook halibut without drying it out by watching the cooking time carefully. Grilled halibut should be cooked for no more than 10 minutes per inch thick., Summary: Gather your ingredients. Marinade overnight if desired. Turn on the broiler to heat your oven. Place the halibut steaks skin side down in a glass or metal baking pan. Brush the steaks with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle the halibut with salt and pepper. Broil halibut for about 10 minutes. Finished!

Passage: An important measure of how much a company wants to hire you is whether or not they try gauge your interest. If they really want you, they are going to try to figure out how much you want them. If this is asked directly, or even indirectly, it may be a very good sign. For example, an interviewer might ask, "What did you think when you first learned about this position?" This is an indirect way to gauge your enthusiasm. Alternatively, they may ask "What attracted you to this job?" Discussions of salary, initiated by the company, usually do not emerge unless the prospect of hiring you is realistic. If your interviewer brings up the subject of salary, it can be a sign towards the positive. This is particularly true if they are extending a salary offer. Before your interview, spend some thinking about what level of salary you will bargain for. You can review salaries for similar positions at sites like PayScale, Glassdoor, and Monster. One nearly indisputable sign that you are in the running for the job is a request for second interview. Many times this will occur at the end of your interview, and other times they will call and set it up later. In any case, a second interview insures that you have made it to the short list for this job. A second interview means that they have narrowed it down to a few strong candidates who will be interviewed again. You will want to be as prepared as you can for your second interview (do some research on the company, prepare some good questions to ask, and try to anticipate what they might ask you). By the second interview, you should have previously reviewed the company through Internet and social media searches. However, you need to review their previous information and check for any news since the first interview. Often times, interviewers will not ask for references unless they actually intend to contact them. So a request for professional references can be a very good sign! That said, many HR departments have already received resumes with references, so a lack of questions is not a negative signal. Be sure to have a list of references ready when you head to your interview. Type up your reference list and bring it along with another copy of your resume. In most cases, the interviewer will have asked more in-depth questions about your current job, past experiences, and/or education. Your answers should have tied these experiences to the duties and competencies required of you in the new job. It is a particularly good sign if the conversation moved to a problem that the company has and how your experience and skills can be used to solve it. This means that the interviewer can imagine you filling the position. If this come up in the interview, remember to reinforce the idea in your follow-up correspondence. Once again, a truly interested employer will be working to gauge your interest in the position. As such, they may come right out and ask you about any other job prospects you have in the works. This is an excellent sign that they’d love to have you aboard! For example, an interviewer may simply ask, "Have you interviewed for any other positions?" If asked this, it is best to be honest. Depending on your answer, you may come off as someone in high-demand, or someone truly dedicated to this job opportunity, and either one can be good. However, there is no need to talk about rejections or interview processes that did not work out. After you respond, notice whether or not they try to sell you on this job. This is a particularly good sign., Summary: Notice if they ask how interested you are. Note whether or not they discuss salary. Notice if they ask for a second interview. Observe if they ask for your references. Assess how well your experience was linked to the job. Note whether they ask about other job prospects.

Passage: Even if you aren't feeling very confident yet, fake it until you make it. Look her in the eyes, stand up straight and keep your hands out of your pockets. Speak clearly and project your voice so she can easily hear you. Even though girls admire confidence, don't gloat so much come across as self-absorbed. Relax. Men that are relaxed are more attractive than those that are stressed out. Be sure that she can see you coming. When you approach from behind a woman, it can set off her protective instinct. Approach from the front so she won't feel alarmed. Since most people decide if they like someone in the first 30 seconds, it's important to make them count. If you get approach her in a way that is immediately uncomfortable for her, you may have a hard time making a good impression. Talking to girls can take guts, but it's something you're going to have to do to make a girl interested in you. Just power through the initial awkwardness. It may take you some time to get used to starting up a natural conversation, but the more you attempt to approach women the better you will be at it. Don't use a pick-up line. She probably heard it before. Just say, "Hi." If you're looking to be more original, "Hello" works too. Introduce yourself. Shake her hand gently, too. If you're at school or somewhere and she is talking with a group of friends, move nearby so as to overhear the conversation. Then interrupt to ask a question about their conversation. It doesn't even matter what they are saying. For example, if she says something like, "It was such a good movie," just interrupt and ask "what movie?" Instead of hitting on her you are suddenly just part of her conversation and she is likely to give you a few moments. Don't dive in with compliments, or start an awkward conversation about the weather. Start a conversation as naturally as possible, like you're chatting up someone you already know. Tell her a funny personal story. You can even make one up ahead of time. If you can make her laugh right away she will likely enjoy your company. Use an indirect opener. An indirect opener can let you start a conversation while staying under the radar. For example try saying, "What is a good place to get a drink around here?" She might offer a suggestion, then you can work up a conversation. After you talk with her for awhile, you can ask her to go to the place she suggested. If you're younger and approaching a girl in school, there are lots of opportunities to open a conversation. For example, whether you have a class together or not ask, "Don't we have a class together?" Even if you don't you can insist you do, or say you are pretty sure you've met before. Then, ask her name and keep the conversation going. Try a situational opener. Depending on where you are, you might start a conversation by pointing out something around you. For example, if there is music playing you can ask "Do you know who sings this song?" Whether she knows or not, you can comment on how good or bad the song is and, before you know it, you're talking about all sorts of topics. Don't try too hard to memorize pickup lines or work from some script. It will only clog up your brain and make it hard to have a comfortable conversation. Don't be afraid to fail or get shot down. The only way to get better at talking to women is to practice until you get comfortable doing it. Once you have a little success, you will start to build more confidence and find that approaching girls is not as hard as you once believed., Summary: Be confident. Approach her from the side or the front. Strike up a conversation. Keep your opener simple. Be natural.

Q: Summarize the following: The more centered the stamp is inside the white perforation border, the better. You want the stamp to have an overall balanced, neat look. Stamp gum is the glue that sticks the stamp onto paper. You’ll want the gum to be as perfect as possible, with no skips or heavy creases. A stamp hinge is a small, transparent piece of folded paper coated in mild adhesive, sometimes glued on the back of a stamp and used to attach it to an album page. A stamp hinge will make the stamp-less valuable, even after it’s been removed. If your stamp has a stamp hinge attached, call a stamp dealer or expert before attempting to pull it off on your own, as you could damage the stamp further. Perforations are the small holes punched along the edges of a stamp that help you peel it away from the sheet. Some stamps will have more perforations or larger circles, but what matters most is that they have full teeth and clean holes. If a stamp has been used, it will be stamped with a cancellation mark over the design. The heavier the cancellation mark, the lower the value of your stamp; you want to make sure it doesn’t blot or cover the stamp’s design. You want your stamp’s design to be bright and vibrant. Fading color can be caused by things like sunlight or artificial light, dirt, pollution, or skin oils. Based on the centering of the stamp design and the heaviness of the cancellation mark, you’ll be able to get an idea of the stamp grade. There are a few possibilities for grade: poor, average, fine, very fine, and superb (mint condition). Essentially, the worse the centering of the design and the heavier the cancellation mark on the stamp, the closer to a “poor” grade it will receive. Superb grades are quite rare, since the stamp must be perfect in all aspects. You don’t want to risk damaging the stamp by pulling it off or cutting it away. Sometimes an old, used stamp on an envelope with a special cancellation will have a higher value than the stamp would have unused and unattached. Ask an expert at a stamp show or get a professional appraisal to see if the stamp should be removed., A: 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: How long you cut the chicken wire depends on how wide and how tall you want your arch to be. If the chicken wire is very wide, you may want to cut it narrower. This will make it easier to bend and curve it into an arch shape. It can be a perfect arch or a warped one. If you need to, loosely crumple or fold the wire in half lengthwise to make it thinner. You can do this with nails, thumb tacks, or pushpins. Start at one end of the chicken wire and work your way upwards to the peak, then work your way back down to the other end. The arch does not have to be perfectly symmetrical. Try a warped arch for a more organic design. For a more interesting design, blow up balloons in different sizes and colors. Try some water balloons, regular balloons, and jumbo balloons. You can also blow up regular balloons with varying amounts of air. Do not use a helium tank for this. You can blow the balloons up with your mouth, but your lungs may get tired. Place a glue dot to the tail end of the balloon, just below the knot. Wrap the tail behind the wire, then press it against the knot. Hold the tail and knot together for about 10 seconds before letting go. This ensures a secure bond. You can find glue dots in the scrapbooking section or an arts and crafts store. They are dots of glue that come on a strip. Peel them off one at a time as you use them. Make sure that you place it close enough to the first balloon so that they are touching. Find the spot where the two balloons touch, then place another glue dot between them. Create clusters of balloons. Start with the larger ones first, then work your way towards the smaller ones. You can even place smaller balloons over larger ones using glue dots. Dried or fresh flowers work especially well for this, but you can use fake ones too. You can also tuck some colorful ribbon in between the balloons instead. This is also a great way to hide any gaps and give your balloon arch a more organic feel. Secure the flowers to the chicken wire with glue dots or string. Make sure that the flowers don't have any thorns. If they do, cut them off with a crafting blade., Summary: Tell scary stories in a circle. Host a video game party if you’re all gamers. Plan a scavenger hunt around your home. Make stamps with craft foam and wooden blocks. Apply a coat of paint to the foam shapes. Make edible jewelry with candy.

The answer of "Summarize the following If your equation is already in the right form, y=mx+b{\displaystyle y=mx+b}, then simply pick the number in the "m" position (but if there is no number written in front of x then the slope is 1). That is your slope! Note that this number, m, is always multiplied by the variable, in this case an "x." Check the following examples: y=2x+6{\displaystyle y=2x+6} Slope = 2 y=2−x{\displaystyle y=2-x} Slope = -1 y=38x−10{\displaystyle y={\frac {3}{8}}x-10} Slope = 38{\displaystyle {\frac {3}{8}}} You can add, subtract, multiply, and more to isolate a variable, usually the "y." Just remember that, whatever you do to one side of the equal sign (like add 3) you must do to the other side as well. Your final goal is an equation similar to y=mx+b{\displaystyle y=mx+b}. For example: Find the slope of 2y−3=8x+7{\displaystyle 2y-3=8x+7} Set to the form y=mx+b{\displaystyle y=mx+b}: 2y−3+3=8x+7+3{\displaystyle 2y-3+3=8x+7+3} 2y=8x+10{\displaystyle 2y=8x+10} 2y2=8x+102{\displaystyle {\frac {2y}{2}}={\frac {8x+10}{2}}} y=4x+5{\displaystyle y=4x+5} Find the slope: Slope = M = 4" is Clip the fan leaves.

The answer of "Summarize the following Look for linking words such as “into,” “by,” and “and" to spot double definitions. These clues typically don’t use indicator words and vary a bit from the standard clue format. Instead of having a definition, wordplay, and indicator, they have two definitions whose meaning points to the same solution. For example, consider the clue “expose tactics by removing glove.” You know that “expose tactics” is one definition and is joined to the second definition “removing glove” with the connector “by.” After reflecting on the meaning of both definitions and trying to assess what they have in common, you’ll arrive at the answer: “Show one’s hand.” Examine your clue for question marks to identify a cryptic definition clue. With cryptic definition clues, the entirety of the clue is your hint—there’s no wordplay section of the clue. In the following clue, “Hairstyle with comb in it?” you’re looking for a word that captures the entire meaning of the sentence. "Comb" is not meant literally but refers to “honeycomb.” The answer is “beehive,” which is a hairstyle and relates to the “honeycomb” reference. Spot a homophone clue by noticing indicator words that refer to sound, such as “heard,” “sounds like,” “say,” or “spoken." Homophones are two words that have different meanings but that sound alike when said aloud, such as “bow” and “beau.” Examine the wordplay for potential homophones, making sure to consider synonyms. For example, in the clue “Location of vision we hear,” “location” is the definition, “we hear” is the indicator, and “vision” is the word that will produce the homophone. You’ll need to consider synonyms of the definition (“location”) and the wordplay target (“vision”) to produce the homophone. In this case, a synonym of “vision” is “sight,” which is a homophone of “site” (a synonym of your definition). Therefore, the clue answer is “site”!" is Infer the clue's second meaning to solve double definition clues. Decipher the clue's riddle when solving a cryptic definition clue. Look for words that sound alike to solve homophone clues.

The answer of "Summarize the following The best villains seem to enjoy their cruelty. To embrace your most evil laugh, make like them and try on a crooked smile. The less this looks like your normal smile the better: It can be unnervingly big, small or toothy. The point is to look a little demented and crazy. Practice in front of a mirror to find out what crazy smile you like best. Furrowed brows make you look calculating and sinister. For the best look to go with your evil laugh, lower your brow as if you are hatching an evil plot. You can also lower one brow and raise the other to make yourself look a little off. The more you can unnerve others the better. Try gesturing with your hands to enhance your evil laugh. Depending on the character of your laugh, you can try a calculating gesture, such as palms facing one another with your fingers drumming together, or go really crazy and just reach up to the sky madly with outstretched fingers. Either way, incorporate your arms to enhance your evil aura." is Crack a maniacal smile. Furrow your eyebrows. Gesticulate wildly or try calculated hands.

The summary of "Understanding how light is hitting your subject is the most important factor in making your painting look three-dimensional. Light value areas are most directly facing the light source. There are two types of medium value areas: Planes of the form that are turning away from the light and about to go into shadow. Light is bouncing off of objects behind the subject and hitting them from the opposite side, but much less strongly than the direct light. This is called “reflected light.” Dark value areas are where the least amount of light is shining on the subject because the planes of the form are tangent to the light sources, so they aren’t getting light from either the front or back. They occur between medium value areas and are called “core shadows." Mix 4 neutral (gray) values: light, medium, dark and a background value. Don’t try to perfectly match any values because this under-painting will be completely covered by the final colors. The different value areas are only an organizational tool. Apply the values using the sketch as a guide. Working with only four values makes this step simple and fast. Use a large brush. If you have trouble placing the medium values, try painting only light and dark first before adding medium. Step back 10 feet/3 meters from the painting to get an overall impression. The painting should begin look like a three-dimensional form with light shining on it." is Identify basic light, medium, and dark value areas in the reference. Paint in the basic values on your under-structure sketch.

The summary of "Only use wax that is made for use on your face, known as facial wax. It will often come in a kit with an applicator or strips that are made for certain areas of your face. Facial wax will be more gentle on your skin than body wax, as the skin on your face is more sensitive. You can find facial wax at your local beauty supply store or online. Cold wax kits are ideal for the face. These kits use wax strips. They are less painful and messy, and they may cause less damage to your face than using hot wax. Instead of wax, you can always use body sugar. Body sugar is gentler than wax and is easier to clean from your skin. The sugar paste is applied to your skin the same way that wax is and removed using the same techniques. If you are using loose facial wax, you will need an applicator stick. You can use an applicator stick made for waxing or popsicle sticks. Get popsicle sticks in a wide and small size, as you can use the small size for applying wax on your eyebrows. You will also need fabric strips to help remove the hair. You can buy pre-made fabric strips for waxing or make your own by buying white, cotton fabric and cutting it into small strips. If you are new to waxing your body, particularly your face, look for wax that comes in prepared strips. The strips will often come in a kit for facial waxing. They will be cut to fit certain areas of your face, such as your upper lip, your eyebrows, or your jawline. It is usually easier to apply wax in strips, rather than have to deal with loose wax and an application stick. If you are a seasoned waxer, you may feel more comfortable with loose wax." is Get wax made for your face. Consider sugaring your face instead of waxing. Get an applicator stick and fabric strips if you’re using loose wax. Use prepared wax strips to make application easier.

Context: Start simple for now, as complex molds are much harder to keep together at first. Get a piece of modeling wax and use a precision knife, Dremel, and any other tool needed to make a model of your jewelry. Whatever shape you make now will be the shape of your finished piece. You are making an exact replica of your eventual jewelry. Using a piece of jewelry you like as a model will help you design better pieces when you first start. Using some more wax, craft several long, wires out of wax and attach them to the model so that they all lead away from the piece. This is easier to understand when you see the whole process -- this wax will be covered in plaster, then melted out to make a hollow version of your shape. You then fill in the hollow part with silver. f you don't make sprues, the melted wax can't actually get out and make a hollow area. For smaller pieces, like a ring, you may only need one sprue. Larger pieces, like belt buckles, may need up to ten. All the sprues should meet at the same place. They will need to be attached to a sprue base. The sprues all meet together, and you attach the mold to the sprue base where all the sprues meet. This allows the wax to melt through the bottom of the base and leave the mold. The flask is a big cylinder that slides on top of the sprue base., Summary: Help your child find other introverts. Encourage new experiences. Avoid forcing your teen to do things they don’t want to.

Context: The most immediate way to help giant pandas is by giving a gift to a protective organization like the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) or Pandas International. Use the donation button on these websites to send your gift. Your money goes to causes such as installing cameras and training rangers that protect panda habitats from poachers. You usually can donate any amount of money you want, as well as choose to make it an automatically-recurring monthly donation. Visit the World Wildlife Fund for Nature’s website at http://wwf.panda.org/. Pandas International’s website is located at https://www.pandasinternational.org/. Various organizations offer these programs. You get gifts for paying a certain amount of money, such as $50 USD, to sponsor a panda. The gifts often include an “adoption” certificate and a panda plushie, so this can be a good option if you have young children. The WWF, Pandas International, and most zoos offer adoption programs. Organizations like the WWF, Pandas International, and zoos sell panda gifts and gear. You can buy stickers, calendars, mugs, and other items. The proceeds help the organizations fund their operations. Merchandise can be given as a gift. It can also be a good way to publicly show your support for pandas. Climate change is a big threat to panda habitats, so purchasing Gold Standard carbon credits helps. By purchasing credits, you invest in sustainable energy projects such as efficient stoves in China. These stoves, for example, require less bamboo to operate and give off fewer carbon emissions. You can purchase credits at https://www.goldstandard.org/. Any Gold Standard project helps, even if it doesn’t appear to be directly related to panda protection. Set up a volunteer opportunity by contacting a conservation organization or a panda center. You will need to make your way to China, covering your own travel expenses. Then, you will be trained to help feed and clean up after the pandas. Volunteer work is a physically-demanding yet rewarding opportunity to protect pandas.

The answer of "Summarize the following Boil ½ a cup of water either on the stove or in the microwave. The water has to be hot enough so the Epsom salt can dissolve into the water. Mix in 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt with 3-5 drops of iodine. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the Epsom salts dissolve completely and the iodine is blended in. The solution should be warm, but cool enough to stick your finger in for a few seconds and not feel uncomfortably hot. The warm solution will be soothing to your face as it works on the blackheads. Dip a cotton ball into the solution and dab it on the affected area. Let the solution dry completely (5-10 minutes). The cotton ball will absorb a lot of the solution, so be careful not to drip any on your clothes. For acne on other parts of the body (back, chest, upper arms), it’s more useful to take an Epsom salt bath. That way, you can soak bigger areas of your body at the same time. Use clean, warm water and a washcloth to gently rinse the solution and any blackhead residue off your face. Repeat this process regularly for the best results." is Boil your solution water.

Passage: Whether the relationship continues or not, you have to move on with your life. You can acknowledge that you made a mistake (and you should). You can also regret that mistake and learn from it. You do, however, have to accept your actions. This means looking at the good and the bad that they have caused and being at peace with yourself.. Cheating is more than just the company of someone outside your exclusive relationship. Cheating is dishonesty. You have to start being honest about your needs and desires, both with yourself and your partner. There is no way to address your needs if you deny them or do not communicate them to your partner. You should leave your partner plenty of space to be mad at you. They deserve that. You should not be a punching bag - physically or emotionally. Your cheating is not leverage for your partner to control you or abuse you. Set boundaries as to what is okay and not okay when it comes to how you treat each other. You have to move on with your life and, if your partner agrees, your relationship. If you genuinely cannot help but cheat, then your needs are not being met in some way or you do not need a monogamous relationship. That might mean you need to discuss them with your partner, or maybe you need to see a counselor to help you through personal problems. Either way, you have to be able to trust yourself., Summary: Purchase a welding helmet. Get heavy duty welding gloves. Wear a leather apron. Inspect your welder before beginning.

The summary of "If your parents are getting divorced, it's because of issues between the two of them, not because of anything you did. Most of the time, parents choose to get divorced because they fight with each other, because their feelings about one another have changed, or because of a serious issue in the relationship, like infidelity or substance abuse. There's no reason for you to feel guilty at all! You may be even more likely to blame yourself for the divorce if your parents get you involved in their conflicts or if they seem to hold it against you for caring about the other parent. No matter what they say or do, it is important to remember that you did not initiate these conflicts and that you have the right to love both of your parents. If your parents ever say something to make you feel like the divorce is your fault, talk to them about it. They may have not really meant what they said at all. Try to keep in mind that this is a stressful time for your parents and they are not perfect. No two kids feel exactly the same way about their parents' divorce. You might be confused, angry, sad, or even glad, if your parents fought a lot. No matter how you are feeling, it's important to validate your emotions. There's no reason to feel guilty about how you are feeling. Don't forget that your friends and family members are there for you during this difficult time. Reach out to people who you are close to for support. You may even know people who have been through a similar situation. If you have siblings, they are going through the same thing that you are going through, so be there for each other. You may not want to talk to all of your friends about your parents' divorce. Choose one or two close confidants who will understand your situation and be compassionate. Chances are some of your friends have also dealt with a divorce. Talking to your parents about the effect that their divorce is having on you can make a big difference. Remember, if they don't know what you think or how you feel, they can't help you cope with those thoughts and emotions. Let them know how you're feeling and what you're worried about. If you have questions about how the divorce will affect your future, ask! Even if your parents don't know the answer, this will give you the opportunity to have an open conversation about what will happen next. Even if you don't have any friends or family members who you can talk to about your parents' divorce, you don't need to deal with your emotions by yourself!

You may be able to find a group at your school or in your local community." is Transfer the pepper to a heat-safe glass bowl. Peel off the skin. Remove the stem and seeds.
