Context: Your doctor should be able to offer advice on whether or not you require chlorophyll supplementation. In some cases, chlorophyll supplements should be avoided. For example, since there has been a lack of safety research on chlorophyll supplements, pregnant women should avoid commercial supplements. If your doctor advises against supplementation, you can still get your chlorophyll from natural sources such as kale, spinach or broccoli. In fact, eating green vegetables daily is a much better way to get chlorophyll into your diet along with fiber and other nutrients. Keep in mind that chlorophyll supplements may not be recommended if you are taking other medications or if you are pregnant or nursing. Check with your doctor to be sure. If you are unable to get enough chlorophyll from vegetables, you could use a supplement. Chlorophyll supplements can give you a boost of energy, as well as provide a number of potential health benefits. You can find chlorophyll supplements at most health food stories. Ask the health food clerk which brands are reputable. If there are no health food stores nearby, shop online. You can get chlorophyll supplements in a variety of combinations, including with papaya, spirulina and green mixes containing a variety of other vitamins and minerals. Chlorophyll supplements cost between $15 and $70. Also, keep in mind that the FDA does not regulate supplements. Check the label for other indicators of quality, such as a USP label or other 3rd party verification. You can get chlorophyll supplements in a variety of forms, including tablets and liquids. If you choose the liquid form, you squirt a few drops in a glass of water. It will get very green and tastes slightly minty and a little bitter. If you choose the tablet form, you don't have to worry about the strong taste. Follow the dosage recommendations on the label, or as directed by your naturopath or doctor. Many juice stores sell chlorophyll water, which is water with some liquid chlorophyll. If you are on the run and forgot to take your chlorophyll supplement in the morning, you could pick up some chlorophyll water from a juice stand., Summary: Talk to your doctor before starting chlorophyll supplements. Shop for chlorophyll supplements. Choose a supplement form. Buy chlorophyll water. | 1 |
The summary of "Put your goals and your reasons for working towards them on paper. A biology student might find it easy to become tired and discouraged in her studies. Remembering why she is in school – because she wants to develop life-saving drugs or be a teacher like the one who first inspired her – is a powerful motivator. Tape your goals to the wall of your office, to your computer, or to your bedroom or bathroom mirror. Keep them in a place where you’ll be frequently reminded of them. This will keep focused and stay on track. Having a large and specific goal can motivate you more than a series of smaller goals. At the same time, however, your central ambition might sometimes seem far away or like an impossibly huge task. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed. This sort of thinking is known to kill motivation and lead people to abandon projects. Move the goalposts when you feel this way. If you are writing a novel, for example, put the big picture to the side for a while and work on the current chapter or on revising 20 pages per day. Focusing on small, concrete tasks will move you ahead incrementally and help you finish what you have started. Chronic procrastinators sometimes need more concrete incentives. Set performance standards and reward yourself. The deals can be small or large. Treat yourself to a short break once you have finished some work. Did you ace your year-end exams? That calls for a bigger reward: take a weekend off to celebrate with your friends. Try to use inducements that will motivate you to follow through. Stop and think: what is absolute best that can happen if you go through with your plans? What is the absolute worst? If you are really committed to a goal, remind yourself of how much you potentially stand to gain by following through or how much you potentially stand to lose by failing. Weight the two. What can you expect from applying for jobs in your dream field of architecture? What is the worst that can happen if it doesn’t pan out? Most times the worst-case scenario boils down to fear – fear of failure, fear of rejection, or fear of regret – while the upside promises very tangible benefits." is Write down your goals. Move the goalposts. Make a deal with yourself. Consider the best-case and worst-case scenarios. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Monitor the growth of the seedlings closely. Don’t let the seedlings get too big, as more leaves will form, which can cause crowding. It's easiest to wait until the seedlings are tall enough to grasp. Seed leaves are replaced by true leaves as the seedlings grow. Look for leaves that match the adults, as seed leaves are more rounded and simpler than true leaves. Waiting for the true leaves to appear helps you pinpoint the healthiest seedlings to keep. Thinned seedlings have a greater survival chance if the weather is not too hot or cold. Moisten the soil with a hose or a watering can if it's too dry. It's easier to pull up roots from damp soil. Only start thinning out when the temperature is cooler. The remaining seedlings need time to adjust to the extra air and light before the increased sunlight exposure during the next day. This prevents the seedlings from getting stressed and helps them to grow into healthy adults. Look for the seedlings that appear bright, healthy, and disease-free. Use thin wooden sticks like toothpicks or popsicle sticks to mark these seedlings. Check that there is only 1 seedling per cell or that you have followed the recommended spacing. Taller seedlings aren’t always stronger. Avoid choosing tall and spindly seedlings, as these may not become healthy adults." is Consult a lawyer.

The summary of "In most cases, trigger finger is caused by repetitive gripping of the hand, or flexing of the thumb or forefinger. Those who are farmers, typists, industrial workers or musicians are particularly susceptible because they constantly repeat certain finger and thumb movements. Even smokers can get trigger thumb from repeatedly using their lighters. As such, stop (or limit) the repetitive action that's inflaming your finger if you can and maybe the pain and contracture in your finger will resolve itself. Explain the situation to your boss and maybe they will give you different tasks to perform at work. Trigger finger tends to happen most often in people who are between 40 and 60 years of age. Trigger finger is more common in women. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all minor musculoskeletal injuries, including trigger finger. Cold therapy (ice wrapped in a thin towel or frozen gel packs) should be applied to the inflamed tendon (it usually looks like a little bump or nodule in the lower part of your finger or in the palm of your hand, and will be tender to touch) in order to reduce the swelling and pain. Ice should be applied for 10-15 minutes every hour, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside. Compressing the ice against your finger / hand with a bandage or elastic support will also help control the inflammation, but don't tie it too tight because complete restriction of blood flow could cause more damage to your finger. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin can be short-term solutions to help you deal with any pain or inflammation in your finger. Dosage for adults is usually 200-400 mg, by mouth, every 4-6 hours. Keep in mind that these medications can be hard on your stomach, kidneys and liver, so it's best not to use them for more than 2 weeks at a stretch. You can develop gastritis or ulcers from NSAID overuse. Signs and symptoms of trigger finger typically include: stiffness (particularly in the morning), a clicking feeling as you move your finger, a tender nodule at the base of the affected finger and difficulty straightening the finger. Stretching the affected finger might reverse the condition, especially if you address the problem during its early stages. Place your affected hand palm down on a table and slowly extend your wrist by putting more weight onto the table -- hold for 30 seconds and repeat 3-5x daily. Alternatively, grab onto your affected finger and slowly extend it while lightly putting pressure on and massaging the inflamed nodule (if you see one). Soaking your hand in a warm Epsom salt bath for 10-15 minutes prior to stretching may help ease the tension and pain in the affected tendon. Trigger finger more commonly affects the thumb, middle or ring fingers. More than one finger can be affected at a time and sometimes both hands are involved. Hand massage by a physical therapist may be best." is Determine your starting distance from the foul line. Start with the toe of your on the board with the center dot.

The summary of "Silly putty is stretchy, bouncy, and fun, and it’s super easy to make! To start, measure out about 1/2 cup (120 mL) of school glue into a medium-sized plastic bowl. For the best results, use non-washable glue. However, you can use white, clear, or even glittery glue if you like! School glue is often sold in approximately 4 oz containers, which hold about 1/2 cup (120 mL) of glue. If this is the size you have, you can just pour out the whole bottle. When you’re finished playing with your silly putty, put it in a resealable plastic bag or a plastic container. If you’d like, you can also wrap the putty in clear plastic wrap before you put it in the container. This will help seal out any air, so your putty will last longer. You can even keep your putty in a plastic egg if you want it to seem more like store-bought silly putty! Unlike real silly putty, this product will dry out within a few days. However, storing it in an airtight container will slow this process." is Don't multitask. Go slowly. Think about chores differently. Spend time doing nothing. Notice the world around you. | 0 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Pour the vegetable oil into a large wok and heat it on the stove over medium-high. Allow the oil to heat up for 30 to 60 seconds before adding any of the ingredients to it. The oil should be hot enough to easily glide over the surface of the wok. If you don't have a wok, use a large, heavy-bottomed skillet with relatively low sides. Add the pork or chicken to the hot oil in the wok. Cook at medium-high, stirring frequently, until you can no longer see any visible pink from any side. Depending on the thickness of the meat, expect to spend 4 to 7 minutes browning it. Don't worry about checking the inside of the meat. It will continue to cook as you add the remaining ingredients, so as long as you brown all sides during this step, it should be safely and thoroughly cooked by the end of the recipe. Add the sliced onion to the meat and oil. Fry over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the onion softens and wilts. Note that if you choose to use any other hard vegetables, you should add them to the wok when you add the onion. Other hard vegetables you may end up using include broccoli, baby corn, and water chestnuts. Generally, you'll need to cook the onion and any other hard vegetable for 1 to 2 minutes during this step. These vegetables only need to start wilting at this point in the recipe. If you allow the onions to become translucent now, they might become too soggy or brown by the end of the cooking process. Add the carrot, cabbage, and green onion to the wok with the onion and meat. Continue cooking and stirring the contents of the pan over medium-high heat until these vegetables soften. Any other soft vegetables you decide to use should be added at this time, as well. Other soft vegetables you may end up using include sliced or chopped bell pepper, diced zucchini, snap peas, and bean sprouts. You'll need to cook these vegetables for roughly 3 to 4 minutes during this step. Aside from getting soft and wilted, these vegetables should also begin release water. Sprinkle ground black pepper over the meat and vegetable mixture in the wok. Drizzle with 3 Tbsp (45 ml) of your prepared yakisoba sauce, as well. Toss the contents of the pan lightly to help distribute the pepper and sauce. Place the yakisoba noodles in a colander and hold them under hot running water for 15 to 30 seconds. Running the noodles under hot water should help separate any that were stuck together in the package. If the water alone does not separate the noodles, gently separate them with your fingers. Note that most yakisoba noodles are actually chukamen noodles, a type of Chinese-style egg noodle. These noodles should not be confused with standard soba noodles, which are made from buckwheat flour. If you do not have yakisoba noodles, you could technically make this dish with standard dried spaghetti. Boil the spaghetti according to package directions until it is "al dente." Do this immediately before cooking the rest of the yakisoba ingredients, then add the noodles to the wok and treat as yakisoba noodles from that point on. Lower the heat to medium, then add the noodles to the meat and vegetable mixture currently in the wok. Do not dump the entire pile of noodles directly into the pan. Instead, use your hands or tongs to grab small portions of the noodles and add them to the pan a little at a time. Continue until all the noodles have been added. Stir the noodles into the rest of the yakisoba mixture. Work continuously to prevent the noodles from burning and sticking to the bottom of the wok. The yakisoba noodles should already be soft when you add them to the wok, so they should cook quickly. Essentially, they only need to remain in the pan for a total of 3 to 4 minutes at most, or until they are heated throughout. Pour the remaining yakisoba sauce over the contents of the wok. Using tongs, toss the ingredients to distribute the sauce evenly. You may wish to add more or less sauce depending on the number of ingredients you end up using. Ideally, the sauce should coat all of the ingredients without much (if any) excess puddling beneath them." is Cut away dead, diseased, or damaged branches promptly. Sanitize your pruners before and during trimmings. Sanitize any other tools you use in the same fashion. Leave the “branch collar” behind when you remove a branch. Remove thick branches by making 3 separate cuts. Train a new “leader” if the current one is damaged. Limit your pruning during the late summer and early fall. | 0 |
Context: Plenty of high quality kisses will turn wet and sloppy at some point. They shouldn’t ever start that way. Allow you and your partner to enjoy the rising swell of arousal by kissing softly and slowly at first. Following an initial few exploratory kisses, withdraw and work the eye contact. You’ll likely both lean in for more without thinking at all. It’s better to keep each other wanting more than over-imposing yourself early in a potential kiss-a-thon. There’s no rush. Try starting a kiss somewhere other than your lover’s lips. The neck, the eyes, the ears; each of these are intimate parts of the body that will excitedly receive a well-timed kiss. You and your kissing counterpart have to work together if you want to knock each other’s socks off. Think of kissing like dancing – with all sorts of styles and ways to move. What matters most is staying in tune with one another. If you’re already overthinking everything right out of the gate, focus on the way their lips feel against yours, and your thoughts will likely return to the kiss. Heat things up. One option is to gently bite. Pull softly on their lower lip. Not everyone will enjoy this, but most will, and will likely follow in whatever direction your teeth are pulling them. Introduce the tongue. Slowly and methodically drag the tip of your tongue along the edges of your partner’s lips. Use the texture and pressure of your tongue to introduce the notion that there is plenty more to look forward to in the coming moments. Use your tongue according to your partner’s response. If your tongues have taken control and have already started to wrestle in one another’s mouths, you likely don’t have cause to hesitate. That said, don’t forget that kissing is a full-body endeavor. Let your appendages wander. The best way to begin to explore the creative potential of a kiss if to literally feel the energy your partner’s body is emanating. Begin to roam (with either hand or mouth) from the base of their neck down their spine. Don’t allow yourself to overthink what you’re doing with your hands. Don’t allow them to rest anywhere for too long. Never touch anyone anywhere they have not consented to being touched. The first few times you kiss someone, you need to explore one another’s boundaries carefully by making a point of respecting limits to the sorts of touching you’re each comfortable including in a kiss. Some classic extracurricular hand placements include the back of the head, the deep lower back, and along or just below your partner’s jaw. Don’t risk boring each other by repeating the same motion or action over and over. Maintaining variety in the way you’re touching and kissing will keep the session interesting. Alternate between long, slow kisses and popcorn-kettle kisses that jump around from place to unpredictable place. Don’t forget to break away from time to time to allow one another to breathe deeply and exchange make contact with your eyes. This also allows you to communicate some form of telepathic creative inspiration that will be evident when the kissing resumes. Reinitiate kissing your partner by targeting a new part of their body. As you learn where your lover enjoys being kissed, returned to those areas and enjoy the reaction your lips elicit. Of all the places a kiss may lead, extreme intimacy is an especially popular destination. Don’t allow your acts of intimacy to become routine. Use your lips to maintain surprise, compassion, and variability when having sex. Sexual relationships are remarkably varied. As long as you and your partner openly communicate, sex can be healthy in all sorts of way. That said, fulfillment is often derived in part via a romantic connection – which can be conveyed immediately by a tender kiss. During and after moments of full-body contact, don’t allow your excitement to prevent your enjoyment of wrapping one another in a fury of arms, hips, legs, and shoulders. Kiss all of one another with your lips; kiss them with every other part of your body as well., Summary: Try the first class. Concentrate on the alignment of your whole body. Engage everything. Manage the pain and talk to your instructor. Care for your feet. | 0 |
Passage: Spray paint is dangerous to inhale, and the overspray and dust can easily land on nearby surfaces. Take the item you want to spray paint outside when possible, such as when the temperature is mild, when there's no precipitation, and when it’s a calm day. The ideal temperature range for spray painting is between 64 and 77 F (18 and 25 C). The ideal humidity for spray painting is between 40 and 50 percent. When you can’t spray paint outside, take the project to a shed or garage if possible. Inhaling spray paint is bad for your health. To protect yourself, open windows, doors, and turn on exhaust vents when you must work inside. Don’t turn on any fans, as these will just blow the paint around. Invest in an activated carbon mask if you work with spray paint often. This will protect your lungs and keep you safe from the health problems associated with spray paint exposure. A spray paint booth protects surrounding areas from overspray, and protects the painted item from dust and dirt when it’s still wet. For smaller projects, you can make your own simple spray paint booth with a box and a pair of scissors: Find a box that’s larger than the items you're spray painting Cut off the flaps that form the lid Lay the box on its side with the opening facing you Cut off the top panel Leave the bottom, side, and back panels of the box in place Place the item in the center of the bottom panel For larger projects, you may not be able to make your own spray paint booth. To protect the floor and surrounding areas from overspray, lay out a large drop cloth or piece of cardboard. Place the item in the center of the cloth or cardboard. If you also want to protect the drop cloth from excess paint, lay down some newspaper over the cloth and place the item on the newspaper., Summary: Take the project outside if possible. Ventilate indoor areas. Make a DIY spray paint booth. Cover surrounding areas. | 1 |
Passage: If you only learn one Vietnamese greeting, "xin chào" would likely be the best greeting to choose. Pronounce "xin chào" as: sin jow The word "chào" means "hello" in English, but you would rarely use it alone. Typically, you would need to follow the term with another word based on the age, gender, and familiarity of the other person. Adding "xin" to the front of "chào" makes the phrase more polite. Native Vietnamese speakers would typically reserve this for someone who is older or admired, but non-native speakers can use this phrasing as a polite way to say "hello" to anyone when the correct ending phrase is unknown. If you're close in age to someone, the most accurate way to say "hello" would be "chào bạn." Pronounce "chào bạn" as: jow bahn The word "chào" means "hello" in English, and "bạn" is an informal way to say "you." Since it's an informal version of the word "you," however, avoid using it when addressing elders or others you need to show respect to. This phrase would be appropriate for both males and females. You can also use this phrase to say "hello" to someone you're on familiar terms with, regardless of age or gender. If the other person is an older male, use "chào anh." If the other person is an older female, use "chào chị." Pronounce "chào anh" as: jow ahn Pronounce "chào chị" as: jow jee The term "ahn" is a polite way to say "you" when the listener is male. Similarly, the term "chị" is a polite way to say "you" when the listener is female. Note that you would rarely use these greetings for someone who is younger or approximately the same age as you. If you're speaking to someone notably younger than you, the most appropriate greeting would be "chào em." Pronounce "chào em" as: jow ehm Use this greeting regardless of whether the other person is male or female. Do not use this greeting is someone is older or approximately the same age as you. If you're on familiar terms with someone, you can follow the "chào" greeting with that person's name. If the other person is close in age or very familiar to you, you can omit the "you" portion of the greeting and use only the name. On the other hand, if you are not very familiar with the other person or if the other person is older or younger, you may still need to you the appropriate "you" pronoun. For example, if you're speaking to a close friend named Hien, you could simply greet that individual with "chào Hien." If Hien is an older female, you would need to say, "chào chị Hien." If she were a younger female, you would need to say, "chào em Hien." Also note that you should always use the other person's given name, not his or her family surname. This is true regardless of age, gender, or familiarity., Summary: Add the oil to the salts. Pour the smelling salts into a bottle. Label the smelling salts. | 0 |

Passage: This is the kind of oil that works well for fans. It is important not to just use any oil, because certain forms of oil are combustible and can cause fires with an electric motor. If your fan’s owner manual recommends a specific kind of oil, purchase that type. You will need a 10, 15, or 20 weight oil. Do not use 3-in-1 oil or an oil with detergents. Try Hunter oil for fans. This is a specific fan oil that will work well for most models. Don’t use WD-40. WD-40 is not a motor oil. It can be used for cleaning dirty bearings on your fan, but is not sufficient to protect moving parts. Use a rag to clean off your fan with an all-purpose cleaner. Make sure there isn’t any dust or grime. Wipe it clean before oiling it so that dirt won’t clog the oil hole. Clean out the oil hole with a pipe cleaner. Keeping your fan clean is important for it to continue operating properly. To clean your fan’s motor, do not use all-purpose cleaner. Simply wipe it with a rag. Slowly pour oil into the fan’s oil hole. Test it periodically with your 1/2” pipe cleaner hook and stop filling it as soon as the pipe cleaner touches the oil. If your fan has not been oiled in a very long time, it might require more than 1-2 ounces of oil. Fill it until it reaches the level of your 1/2” pipe cleaner hook. Turn your fan on a slow setting and listen for any squeaks or grinding sounds. The oil should allow your fan to run smoothly. If it still is having problems, then low oil was not the cause of the issue. Don’t keep adding oil. There is something else wrong. Instead of turning on the fan, you could also slowly spin the blades around with your hand while the power is off. You will still be able to hear if there are problems. If oiling your fan was not the solution, it is time to contact a professional who can troubleshoot the issues with your fan. There are professionals who specialize in ceiling fans. It is best to find someone with this expertise rather than a general handyman. You could find someone at a fan store, at a fan department of a larger home improvement store, or online by doing a Google search for fan repair in your city., Summary: Offer to listen. Offer comforting words. Ask questions to show that you’re listening. Validate her feelings Try asking what would make it better. Offer help if she'd like it.

Passage: A central in-box is where you put all of the papers that come across your desk or through your mailbox each day. This may help you to stay organized until you have time to sort and handle each item. You can use a small cardboard box as your central in-box, or get a special box, basket, or tray for this purpose. Place the box on the corner of your desk, on a table near your front door, or somewhere else visible so that you will not forget about it. Look at each of the items in your in-box once per day to look for items that require your immediate attention. These may include bills that are due soon, party invitations, or time-sensitive forms. Set these items aside so that you can take care of them immediately. You may want to get a second box in a different color than the first box to put urgent items into. For example, you could get a red box to indicate that these are urgent items. Keep a third box next to the central in-box and urgent box. Use this as your collection point for items you want to file. This will help you to keep them organized until you are ready to file them. Make sure this box is a different color than the other boxes. Otherwise, you may get the boxes mixed up. Any junk mail or other non-essential items that end up in your in-box can go straight into the recycling bin. Identify these items as you sift through the documents and move them to the bin right away to help keep your in-box clutter free. Keep your recycling bin on the floor so that you will not confuse it with your other boxes. If any of the unneeded items contain personal information, shred them before disposing of them., Summary: Create a central in-box to hold papers until you can sort them. Go through the in-box daily and set aside important items. Place items that you want to file in a filing box. Toss unneeded items into a paper recycling bin. | 1 |
Context: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, orange zest, and orange juice.

Q: Summarize the following: Achieving your dream might require you to gain new skills or knowledge. Be sure that you don’t define your dream so narrowly that you get "tunnel vision" and ignore the things you need to learn in order to make your dream a reality. Create one or more "learning goals" – learning new skills or new information. Achieving your learning goals can be a crucial step to working toward your dream. For example, If your ultimate goal is to buy a beach house, then you might need to learn about the real estate market in seaside areas near you as well as learn more about how to invest money so that you can save more quickly for a down payment on your beach house. Do some research to find out how other people have achieved the same dream. You can try using the internet to look for articles or biographies of people you admire who have achieved their dream. You might even want to talk with people in real life. For example, if your dream is to become an architect, try to speak with someone at an architecture school. If you don’t live nearby and can’t meet them in person, try to talk with someone on the phone. Achieving a dream can be complicated and you might need to complete a number of different "projects" as you go forward. Figure out what the different "projects" are that will move you toward your dream. Remember that you need to have all the ingredients and tools you need in order to be successful in achieving your dream. If your dream is to become a black belt in karate or play the piano, then you might need to start by saving money for lessons, finding an excellent teacher, and finding the uniform or instrument you need. " Create a plan for each of the projects by defining all of the steps you will need to follow in order to complete the project. Write down all the steps in order, and keep your project task lists somewhere convenient. For example, if your project involves buying something big, figure out how much money you will need to save. Similarly, if you are interested in learning a new skill that requires a teacher, ask ask friends (or the internet) about good teachers in your area and what kind of equipment you will need for the new activity. " Start taking action on each part of your dream. If you can, work on all of your projects simultaneously – for example, try to do something for each project each week. Even if you are moving in small steps toward your goal, you are still heading in the right direction. And keeping yourself moving forward is one of the best ways to stay motivated toward achieving your goal. Going for your dream means taking action on many small steps over a long period of time. If you can only spend 15 minutes one week on your dream, remember that the most important thing is to keep moving forward down your "to do" list of project tasks. As you are taking action on the different projects that lead you to your dream, be sure that you always know what to do next. Being unsure of your next step is one common way that people get stalled in their progress toward a goal. So each week revisit your project lists to see what tasks are coming up and be sure that you will be ready for each one. Working toward your dream sometimes needs to be done in the midst of a life where you have lots of other things to do – taking care of children or working late, for example. In order to achieve your dream, you need to make sure you carve out the time that is necessary to move forward on your goals. Try to create time in your week that is purposefully devoted to your dream, and make that time a priority. If you are a very busy person, finding time to act on a long-term goal can be challenging. If you are too tired when you are finished with everything else for the day, then try working on your dream in the morning before you get busy with other activities. Set up an actual schedule to keep yourself on track, even if the time you spend working on your goal each day is small. Being consistent is what's important. Learn from your mistakes and keep on going. Achieving a dream takes persistence. Know that you will encounter obstacles and failures. Use these as opportunities to learn. What can you do differently from now on? Get yourself back on track and keep moving forward. Seek out the people who have achieved their dreams and talk with them or read their stories. Find out what they learned from their journey, and what they like best about achieving their dream. You can find out about other successful dreamers by reading their biographies, watching documentary films, or reading about people on the internet., A: Break your dream goal down into parts. Find out how others have accomplished your goal. Break your dream down into manageable "projects". Define the steps for each "project. Commit to your dream by taking action on each "project. Always know what’s next on your list. Manage your time so that there is room for your dream. Use your missteps as a lesson. Be inspired by others. | 1 |

Context: If you have a shark tooth that’s flat and in the shape of a wide triangle, then you may have a white shark tooth on your hands. There should be coarse serrations along the blade of the tooth and it should also be about 1.5–2.5 inches (3.8–6.4 cm) long. Tiger shark teeth blades are only about as long as their roots. They can also be identified by the sharp serrations on the shoulders of their blades and also by how deeply-notched their blades typically are. Tiger shark teeth are typically about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long, but they can sometimes be as long as 1.5–2 inches (3.8–5.1 cm). Bull shark teeth have blades that are flat and broad with a narrow apex. These teeth are usually 1 inch (2.5 cm) long or slightly shorter. While there are serrations along the entire blade, they get smaller and smaller further down the blade. Lemon shark teeth have no serrations and the blade is angled to the side very slightly. Lemon shark teeth blades are also flat and narrow. The average length for lemon shark teeth is about 0.75 inches (1.9 cm). Sand tiger shark teeth have extremely narrow blades that are free of serrations and typically measure about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length. This makes them relatively easy to identify. They also have very high cusps. A megalodon is a type of shark that has been extinct for thousands of years, but it’s remembered for its massive size. You can typically identify this type of tooth by its size alone because it’s so much bigger than other shark teeth, as megalodon teeth typically range from 3.5–7 inches (8.9–17.8 cm) long. You can also identify these by their finely serrated blades and the thin black line that’s located between the blade and the root of the tooth. Shark teeth from different species tend to stand apart from each other in these ways. The shape of the tooth is often the most telling, as most species have a uniquely angled blade, shaped cusp, or serration quality that identifies it as that particular species. If you think a tooth could’ve come from 1 of 2 possible species, measure its length and see if it fits more with the size of 1 species or the other. For example, great hammerhead shark teeth stand out because they have a uniquely square root and serrations from the top to the bottom of the blade that are a consistent size., Summary: Recognize white shark teeth by their broad, triangular shape. Identify tiger shark teeth by their short blades. Recognize bull shark teeth by their tapering serrations. Identify a lemon shark tooth by its slightly angled blade. Spot a sand tiger shark’s tooth by its narrowness. Identify megalodon teeth by their large size. Identify other shark teeth species by their shapes and sizes. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following The other options are Fire, Water, and Air. You can probably guess what it means by doing a little deducing. She's also fixed (as opposed to mutable), meaning that she's firm in her Earthy ways. A typical Earth sign can be described as the following: Grounded, stable, and resistant to change Reliable and sturdy and not prone to tempers or large displays of emotion Not keen on taking risks and likes a sure thing Known as the "builder" of the zodiac If you're looking for her to emerge from your bed claiming you're a sex god, while she may be thinking it, she won't be saying it. She lives in the logical, more rational world and can't get swept up in tears, hysterics, or visible ecstasy. Take this as a good thing -- no drama! This does not mean she won't get attached to you or won't get mad when you don't call her back. Au contraire, mon ami, she'll headbutt you with those horns of hers. She'll hold a grudge through next Tuesday. She just won't show it. She'll give you the cold shoulder without saying a word. Her Earthy ways make most Fire and Water signs think she's rather conservative and, well, sometimes dull. That's not the case! Traditional does not equate to boring. What it does mean is that she's good at what she does and knows what she likes. While she may focus on meat and potatoes, she makes damn good meat and potatoes. Nothing wrong about that! No, she's not super adventurous and no, she doesn't get caught up in fantasy land. What's wrong with that? She lives in the real world and has real things that matter to her. And if it works for her, she'll stick with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! So, yes, she is dependable and reliable and nice and sweet and not super emotional -- but that doesn't mean you should mess with her. She's also very into respect, tact, and treating others as they deserve to be treated. So if you aim to manipulate or use, she'll show you the back door, no questions asked. Those horns of hers can be quite pointy! Ow. If you're looking to seduce her and then put her in a cab, just be honest. You'll get a lot further that way than pretending to be something you're not. She has no patience for liars or hypocrites and is pretty good at spotting them, too. Once you've got her, try your hardest to treat her as well as she treats you. She'll be incredibly loyal, patient, and trustworthy. Pay her back by treating her in kind! You'll be the only one in her life, hands down. Now the question is: What in the world did you do to deserve her? Odds are you went in with the intention of seducing her and found yourself being seduced. Funny how that works, huh? Ms. Taurus can be a long-term type of gal if you're a worthy suitor. Congratulations on taming that bull!" is Learn the Greek alphabet and the pronunciation of each letter.

Passage: If you're shy, standing or sitting in a confident position may help boost your self-esteem. Some positions can help you project your voice better, but ultimately you should stand or sit in whatever position makes you most comfortable and confident. If you're standing, put one foot slightly in front of the other and rest your body's weight on the back foot. Keep your neck straight, your head high, pull your shoulders back, and angle your torso slightly forward. If you're sitting, keep your back straight and lean forward slightly. Put your elbows and forearms on top of the table and look directly at the person you intend to speak to. If you're not used to projecting your voice, focusing on your breathing may help. Regulating your breath and maintaining an erect posture will open up your chest and facilitate a louder, more commanding voice. Inhale silently and quickly, then exhale slowly just before you begin to speak. Try to relax your abdominal region as you inhale. Keep your shoulders and chest as still as possible. Pause at the end of a sentence just before you're about to run out of breath. Then inhale so that your next phrasing feels natural. If you're nervous about speaking loudly, it may be easier if you start out at a more comfortable tone. Spend a little time conversing at whatever volume you're comfortable with and work your way up to a louder volume gradually. Remember that speaking softly and timidly is better than not talking at all. You don't have to rush into speaking loudly. Stick with what you're comfortable with until you get warmed up, then begin pushing yourself. Many people speak rapidly when they're feeling nervous or anxious. However, speaking too fast can affect the clarity of your speech. Fast speech may also increase the chance of stumbling over your words or losing track of your thoughts. Try practicing with a recording device and listening back to the speed and clarity of your speech. You can also ask a friend to help you practice projecting your voice. Your friend can tell you whether you need to change the volume, pitch, or speed of your speech. If you want to carry on a conversation with others, it's important to actually listen to what they're saying. Try not to spend too much time planning what you'd like to say, and focus on what others are saying while they speak. Make eye contact with whoever is speaking and pay attention to what's being said. React appropriately to what's being said. Smile at something funny, frown at something sad, and nod politely to show that you're still listening. If you wait for someone else to ask you to participate in the conversation, you might be waiting a long time. It may be difficult, but by chiming in on what's being said you'll let others know that you're interested in participating. Don't cut anyone else off. Wait for a brief pause in which no one is speaking, then chime in. Say something relevant to the conversation and build off of something that someone else said. For example, you might say something like, "I agree with what Dave said, but I also think _______." Controlling the volume of your voice can help you speak more clearly and audibly. Try to maintain some awareness of how you sound as well as what you're saying. This is another instance in which practicing with a friend or recording device may help. Instead of using a monotone voice, vary the pitch of your voice and the pace of your words. Start out using a mid-range pitch, then inflect your voice up or down as needed. Gauge your volume. You want to be loud enough to draw the attention of others, but not so loud that you make others uncomfortable. Pause after you say something important, and enunciate your words slowly and clearly so that everyone can hear what you're saying., Summary: Lay down newspaper or a fleece blanket before floor time.

The summary of "Creating and registering your company is relatively easy and straightforward so long as you have done all of the busy work leading up to this point. To register your company with the state, visit your state's corporations website, which is usually found within the Secretary of State's office. Once you have tracked down the correct website, you will need to find the correct form. For example, in Oregon and Texas, there are different forms for companies registering as a for-profit or nonprofit. In general, the articles of incorporation will require the following information: The name of your entity; Your registered agent and registered office; The name of your directors (for-profit) or managers (nonprofit); Information about shares (if you are a for-profit company); The purpose of your company; and The name of the organizer (person crating the company). Most states allow you to file your articles of incorporation online. For example, in Texas, you can file your paperwork using SOSDirect, which is the Secretary of State's online filing service. In Oregon, you can use the Oregon Business Registry. If you do not file online, you will need to take your articles of incorporation to the Secretary of State's office or fax them to a designated number. There will be a fee associated with the filing of your required documents. If you cannot pay the fee, you may be eligible for a fee waiver in some states. In Texas, the fee for registering a for-profit company is $300 while the fee for registering a nonprofit is $ 25. In Oregon, the processing fee for a for-profit company is $100 and $50 for a nonprofit." is Prepare your articles of incorporation. File your articles of incorporation. Pay the required fee. | 1 |
The summary of "You should do this before purchasing a pumpkin in the store, and again when you get home. You want to buy a pumpkin that is the same color and texture throughout. Darker, mushier portions of the pumpkin indicate rotting. If you notice some parts of the pumpkin have rotted after bringing it home, cut these parts off with a knife before cooking the pumpkin. If you don't have a vegetable brush, a rough, clean cloth should work. This will help loosen up any dirt and debris, allowing you to easily rinse off any contaminants. You do not need to use water here. You will rinse the pumpkin off later. Pumpkins can be very big, so this takes some patience. Make sure to scrub down the entire surface of the pumpkin. Make sure not to scrub too hard. You don't want to end up scraping off the skin of the pumpkin. You can just use tap water here. Simply run the pumpkin under the faucet in your sink. Make sure to turn the pumpkin as needed to rinse off all sides. If you see any dirt or debris sticking onto the pumpkin, gently rub it off using your fingers or a clean cloth. Once you've cleaned the surface of the pumpkin, you slice the pumpkin in half. Slice the pumpkin down the middle using a sharp knife that slices evenly. Be sure to go slow and keep your fingers away from the blade to avoid accidentally harming yourself. A serrated spoon, such as a grapefruit spoon, works great to remove pumpkin seeds. You can also use an ice cream scoop. Scrape the spoon along the inside of each half of the pumpkin. Remove all the seeds from inside. Once you have removed the seeds, your pumpkin is ready to cook. When carving a pumpkin, you need to make sure the inside walls are very smooth. This is not necessary when cleaning out a pumpkin to cook.

Q: Summarize the following: Dehydration can cause constipation or make it worse. Make sure you drink plenty of water, at least 8-10 glasses per day so you stay hydrated.Other drinks will also keep you hydrated, but remember to avoid anything with caffeine or alcohol while you're pregnant. If plain water is too bland, you can add fresh fruit for more flavor. A diet rich in fiber will soften your stool, making it easy to pass and thus reducing hemorrhoid inflammation. Make sure you get 25-30 grams per day for ideal digestive health. Good sources of fiber are leafy green vegetables, beans, broccoli, whole wheat bread and pasta, and fresh fruits. You can also use supplements like Citrucel or Metamucil. Check with your doctor to make sure fiber supplements are safe for you and take them exactly as directed., A: Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day to avoid constipation.

The answer of "Summarize the following If you are separated and not planning a divorce, there may be a chance of reconciling. Dating may sabotage any attempts at reconciliation unless you are dating the person from whom you are separated. Prior to dating someone else, be sure you either want to end the relationship or that the other person is okay with seeing other people during the separation. Think about how you would feel in the other person’s shoes. Consider relationship counseling. Remember that communication is a major factor in repairing a relationship, so talk with the other person if you may want to reconcile. If you are married, it is generally not advisable to date other people until the divorce is final. Dating other people can increase animosity between divorcing couples, which tends to decrease the likelihood of amicable settlements and increase the cost of divorce attorneys and other court costs. In some circumstances, dating before the divorce is final can also negatively impact property settlements and custody determinations. Former spouses who become jealous that the other party has found a new relationship tend to be less willing to agree to property settlements or parenting arrangements. In states that grant divorces on the basis of fault, the fact that you have a relationship during the separation can be used as evidence that you had a relationship prior to the separation. The character of people you regularly bring in contact with your children is relevant to parenting arrangements. Any new partner could potentially be subject to examination and/or investigation by the court or other party because of the proximity s/he will likely have to the children. During a separation, emotions are generally raw. Both parties to the relationship are usually hurt and potentially angry about the breakup. You may want to take some time to get to know the new you, especially if the relationship lasted several years, instead of jumping into a quick rebound relationship. Some experts recommend waiting at least six months before making any major decisions. Be sure you are dating because you enjoy the company of the company of the other person instead of to fill a hole left by the loss of the relationship or out of anger at the other person. Consider going out with groups of people instead of pairing up with any one person to help fill the void left from the loss of the relationship." is Try tea tree oil. Use other essential oils.

Passage: Everyone in your house might need to pitch in and help take care of the cat, so it’s a good idea to discuss your plan ahead of time. If you are trying to convince your parents or someone else to let you get a cat, let them know that you will be responsible for it, and that you have done your research on how to care for it. Some cats can live fifteen-twenty years or more. Before getting a cat, make sure that you or your family is willing and able to commit to taking care of an animal for that long. For instance, if your parents let you get a cat as a kid, make sure you or someone will be able to take care of the cat if you move out later on. Be prepared to spend time with your cat. Cats are relatively independent, and can stand to be alone for parts of the day. However, they still need lots of attention and play time, so make sure you and/or your family can commit. Be prepared to cover the costs of having a cat. Aside from the upfront costs of buying a cat and the supplies it needs, you will need to supply food, treats, shelter, toys, and vet care throughout the cat’s life. There are many different kinds of cats. Some people are interested in a particular breed, such as a Maine Coon, Abyssinian, Prussian Blue, Angora, or Siamese. Mixed breed cats, however, make wonderful pets as well. You should also consider whether you want to get a cat as a kitten or one that is older. If you are interested in a particular breed, research it before buying one. Each breed is unique in terms of looks and behavior. Many breeds have special needs and/or are prone to medical problems, so you will also want to be prepared for these concerns. Mixed-breed cats may live healthier lives, and can make very friendly and loyal pets. They are also easier to find and far less expensive than pure-bred cats of a particular breed. If you bring home a kitten, you will raise it and discover its behavior along the way. If you buy or adopt an older cat, you will have a better idea of its temperament from the start. Before bringing a cat home, you’ll want to make sure you have everything it needs to adjust to its new home. Items you may need to take care of your cat include: A litter box and litter Food and water dishes A supply of food and treats A scratching post Toys A bed or other place for the cat to sleep A brush to groom your cat Nail clippers or caps A collar and name tag Cats are curious creatures; to prevent yours from getting into something it shouldn’t, take steps to make your home safe before you buy the animal. For instance: Make sure there aren’t any electrical cords that your cat can easily reach and chew on. Put cleaning products, poisons, and medications in a place your cat can’t reach. Keep your cat away from any toxic houseplants. Make sure your cat will have a quiet and safe place to rest. Once you have your cat, you will need to take it to a vet as soon as possible so that it can have its general health assessed, and receive any vaccines or other care it may need. If the cat is over four months old, it can also be neutered. You can find out about good vets in your area by asking animal shelters and other cat owners for recommendations, as well as researching them online. Pet insurance policies usually don’t cover routine shots (which owners should get anyway), but getting a policy can save you from worrying about being able to cover the costs if the cat ever becomes sick or injured., Summary: Make sure everyone in your home is ready to get a cat. Think about what kind of cat you want. Get the supplies you need. Cat-proof your home. Plan to visit a veterinarian. Consider getting pet insurance. | 1 |
The summary of "Benzoyl peroxide is a popular product in acne products. It kills the acne-causing bacteria and helps to open up your pores, so applying it around your nose will help get rid of the acne. Look for products that contain benzoyl peroxide, which can be in concentrations of 2.5% to 10%. Products include cleansers or spot treatments. Benzoyl peroxide may dry out your skin or cause stinging, burning, and redness at the site of application. Use it only as directed on the package. Salicylic acid is another acne medication. You can find salicylic acid in over-the-counter cleansers and spot treatments to use for your nose acne. Available products contain between 0.5% to 5% concentration of salicylic acid. Salicylic acid can include skin irritation and stinging. Use only as directed. Differin gel (adapalene) is a retinoid gel that is available without a prescription. It is especially good at opening pores and treating and preventing blackheads, which are common in nose acne. Note that retinoids can be irritating and dry out your skin, especially when you first begin treatment. Make sure you follow the instructions on the packaging and use as directed. To help prevent acne on your nose and the rest of your face, wash your face daily, twice a day if you can. You should also wash after any sweaty activity. A lot of sweat can increase acne. Wash your face gently with light circular motions. Don't wash your face too much. More than twice a day is not recommended. You can apply a pore strip to your nose after washing your face, then allow the strip to dry and harden. As the strip dries, the comedonal plugs (dirt in your pores) are attracted to the adhesive on the strip. When you remove the strip, you will see small pieces of dirt stuck to the strip that have come out of your pores. You have to apply the strip to wet, clean skin or it will not work properly. Make sure that you wait until the strip is completely dry to remove it. Then pull it off slowly. Some cosmetics can irritate your skin and cause acne. If you have trouble with acne on your nose, consider going without makeup or use as little makeup as possible. When choosing foundations, go for oil-free and noncomedogenic makeups that won't clog your pores. The chemicals and oils in makeup, even hypoallergenic makeup, can be clog your pores and cause breakouts. Always remove all makeup before going to sleep. This helps reduce clogged pores. You should make sure to protect your face, especially your nose, from the sun. Too much sun exposure and tanning beds can damage your skin, and damaged skin is at a high risk for acne. If you are going to be out in the sun, wear sunblock. You can choose to wear a separate sunscreen or buy a daily moisturizer with sunblock in it. Some acne medications make your skin extremely sensitive to UV rays. Take caution in the sun if you are using these medications, which list sensitivity to the sun on the labels. Try these at home methods for at least three to four weeks. If the acne on your nose is showing no improvement, make an appointment to see a dermatologist. If you have moderate to severe acne, see a dermatologist before you try any of these methods to get a professional recommendation. Without that professional advice, you could cause more problems than you solve/ Your dermatologist may recommend other approaches to blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples on your nose. Nothing can replace having a trained physician physically examine and look at your unique skin. A dermatologist may recommend prescription medications, or alternative treatments such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or light or laser treatments. They may also help immediately remove blackheads with a special tool called a comedone extractor." is Try a benzoyl peroxide cream or cleanser. Use an acne product with salicylic acid. Try an over-the-counter retinoid product. Wash your face daily. Try pore strips. Use makeup that won't cause acne. Wear sunblock on your face. See a doctor. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Smoke odors cling to hair, so try protecting your hair as much as possible if you can’t take a shower before seeing your parents. If you have long hair, pull it up in a bun to keep it out of the way. Cover up your head with a hat or hood and draw it closed to prevent any smoke from seeping in. Then switch to a different hat or hoodie before you get home. If you show up at home wearing clothes that reek of smoke, your parents will notice. Have a separate outfit on hand for when you want to smoke. Consider bringing along a hoodie or sweater and another set of bottoms with you when you head out to smoke. Change into these clothes while you smoke and keep your regular outfit well away from where you’re smoking. When you’re finished, seal up your smelly clothes in a separate bag and switch back into your regular outfit. If your regular clothes have any traces of smoke, air them out or spritz them with a deodorizing fabric spray before seeing your parents. Be strategic about this. If you go out wearing one outfit and come home wearing something totally different, your parents will know something’s up. Save empty cardboard paper towel and toilet paper tubes. Then stuff them with crumpled dryer sheets to create a sploof. Or secure a few dryer sheets over the end of the tube with a rubber band. When you’re smoking, exhale the smoke through the tube. The dryer sheets will filter out some of the smoke. Remember that your parents might know just as much about mistakes as you do, and they might get suspicious if you start hoarding toilet paper tubes or dryer sheets. Make sure you don’t smoke in the same care that your parents use. If you smoke in your own car, crack open your windows and make sure to hold your cigarette out the window. Turn up the heating or air conditioning, depending on the weather, and aim the vents towards the nearest window to help push the smoke outside. Be sure to exhale the smoke with a strong whoosh out the open window. When you’re done, roll the windows down more and leave the air on. Cruise around for a while to air out the vehicle, yourself, and other passengers. Don’t leave your windows cracked when it’s parked at home since your parents might get suspicious. Be sure to drive safely and responsibly, even if you’re smoking. Also, keep in mind that it may be illegal to smoke in a car with any passengers who are still minors. Avoid tossing your cigarette out of the window and littering the streets. Suspicious parents may ask to smell your fingers, so make sure you wash off as much of the smell as possible. Wherever you are, head to a sink to scrub off your hands with warm water and scented hand soap. Splash your face, mouth, and nose, too, if you can’t stop for a shower. If you’re out and about, try stopping by a gas station bathroom or another public restroom on your way home. Use cigarette holders or grip your cigarette with a folded-up piece of paper towel to reduce the contact your hand makes with the cigarette. As soon as you can, brush your teeth with toothpaste to freshen up your teeth and tongue. If you’re on the go, chew on a piece of minty sugar-free gum or eat a breath mint to reduce the signs of smoke. Eating peppermint candies can also help, but do this in moderation so you don’t get cavities. Bring a portable toothbrush and a travel-sized toothpaste with you so you can brush your teeth at any sink while you’re out. Remember that even if you take great care of your teeth, smoking will still do irreversible damage to your oral health. Smoke odors can linger on your clothes, hair, and skin for hours, and it’s nearly impossible to smoke without smelling. If you can, take a shower as soon as possible after smoking, before you get home, to rinse off the odors. Lather up your hair with shampoo and use a scented body wash to get rid of any smoke particles and odors. Don’t forget to change your clothes, too, so you smell totally fresh and free of smoke. After you smoke, try hitting the gym and shower in the locker room before heading home. If possible, get home before your parents do and take a quick shower to cover up your odors. If you shower at an odd time of day, or show up from a friend’s house with wet hair and a different outfit, your parents will probably get suspicious. Choose fragrances with musky, woody aromas that complement the smoke odors rather than sweet and floral scents. Opt for scents with bright top notes, too, such as citrus or peppermint, to draw the attention away from the smoke odors. Spray a small amount to your collarbone or chest and your inner wrists, but avoid using too much fragrance. If you spray too much, your parents will get suspicious that you’re trying to hide something. Consider peeling and snacking on an orange after you smoke. Oranges give off a strong citrus smell that will cling to your hands and breath. Even if just a few of your belongings smell faintly of smoke, your parents will notice the tell-tale smell when they enter your room. Get into the habit of burning incense or scented candles when you’re at home in your room. Not only can incense provide a strong aroma, but it also gives off a smokey burning smell. As an alternative, spray your room with a deodorizing product to minimize the smoke smells. Never leave candles or incense burning unattended, as they can quickly cause fires. Don’t spray a deodorizer while you have candles or incense lit since the sprays are highly flammable." is Cover up your hair while you smoke. Keep a separate set of clothes for smoking in. Exhale smoke through a sploof. Air out your car if you smoke inside it. Wash your hands to get rid of the smell after smoking. Freshen up your breath with toothpaste, mouthwash, gum, or mints. Shower after smoking to wash off the smell. Spritz yourself with a fragrance to distract from the lingering smoke. Light incense or use a deodorizing spray to freshen up your room. | 1 |
Context: A gas mask can protect you from various contaminants in the atmosphere, depending on the type of contaminant. Some gas masks protect against biological substances, while other will protect you from chemical substances. Purchase a gas mask that has been approved by a reputable government agency to protect against specific hazards. For example, if you live in the United States, a gas mask certified by the National Institute of Safety and Health, or NIOSH, is a good choice. A gas mask will not protect you from fire-related contaminants like smoke. A gas mask is only effective if the proper filter is used. You will need a different filter for each type of threat you might face. There is no one-size-fits all filter. For example, if you face the threat of a chemical attack from chlorine gas, you will need a filter specifically manufactured to filter chlorine gas from the air. If you also face a threat from tear gas, you will need a filter created specifically for tear gas. In order to make sure the gas mask is working properly, you will need to test it. If you received your gas mask from your employer or other organization, they should run a test with you to ensure the mask works. If you purchased your gas mask as an individual, contact the manufacturer about how to test your gas mask at home. Since every mask is different, you will need to make sure you consult your employer or the mask’s manufacturer to determine exactly how to test it., Summary: Choose the right type of gas mask. Buy the appropriate filters. Test the gas mask. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Milia can worsen with sun damage. This is especially true if you are suffering from secondary milia, which is caused by blistering. A sunburn can result in the spread or prolonged existence of milia, so cutting down on sun exposure will let you get rid of milia faster. Stay out of direct sunlight as much as possible. When spending time outside, wear a hat to shade your face. Apply a gentle oil-free sunblock specially formulated for facial care. A heavy, oily sunblock will only clog your pores more, making it harder to exfoliating the trapped dead cells causing the milia. A light sunblock can offer protection from the sun without clogging your pores, though. Look for a light one with a minimum SPF of 15 or above. You may be tempted to conceal your milia with makeup, but doing so will only prolong their stay. It will also welcome more dirt onto your face, making your milia harder to get rid of. Cosmetics and heavy creams stay on your skin, blocking your pores. In order to get rid of your milia, you need to be able to exfoliate away dead skin cells. Doing so will be much more difficult if your pores are blocked by makeup, though. You might not be able to completely prevent milia, but you can take steps to make flare-ups less frequent. Make it a point to take care of your skin each day. Wash your face, moisturize, and stay hydrated. You might also consider getting regular facials if your budget allows." is Reduce your sun exposure. Avoid heavy cosmetics or creams. Make good skin care a part of your daily routine. | 1 |

The summary of "You may be tempted to pick at or try to burst the vesicles, just as people can't resist the urge to pop pimples. However, this makes the wound open to bacterial infection. Furthermore, the released fluid carries the virus, and can spread the viral infection further. Warm water can provide pain relief from whitlow. This is best used when painful lesions start appearing on the infected area. You can add salt or epsom salt to the water to help with relief. The concentrated salt will diminish swelling in the effected area. Fill a container deep enough for the infected area with warm water. Soak the infected area for 15 minutes. Repeat as the pain reoccurs. When finished, wrap the area with a dry bandage wrap to prevent disease transmission. If you've tried to burst or drain a vesicle, you can add regular or antibacterial soap to the warm water when you soak the area. While you may opt for antibacterial soap, studies suggest that regular soap works just as well at protecting against bacteria and infection. Keeping soap in the water can help prevent the spread of the condition as fluid from the infection mixes in with the water. Magnesium sulphate paste can help with the pain and swelling associated with whitlow. Though this is widely documented, the exact reason behind this effect is still unclear. In a study published 2008, a group of patients with HSV 1 or 2 were treated with a mixture that included magnesium. The results showed that over 95% had resolution of symptoms within 7 days. To properly use magnesium paste, first clean the infected area using a suitable antiseptic. Examples include isopropyl alcohol, alcohol prep pad or soap. Apply a generous amount of magnesium sulphate paste. You can buy this product at any pharmacy. Cover the pasted area with lint or cotton wool, then bandage it. Change the bandage daily, and applying fresh paste each time. The extreme cold will numb the nerves in the surrounding area, relieving the pain. It will also slow blood flow to the area, reducing any inflammation or swelling that would contribute to the pain. You can either buy an ice pack from the pharmacy, or just wrap some ice cubes in a towel. Gently apply the pack to the infected area. This can be challenging, but making an effort can help prevent future outbreaks. HSV can lie dormant in nerve cells for quite some time, but stress can activate it. Thus, avoiding stress can be the key to avoiding whitlow. Some options to deal with stress and boost the immune system include eating healthier, getting a good night sleep, and exercising regularly." is Form relationships with vendors. Set your rate.

Context: Before the conversation, figure out when your mom is usually free. Also, think about where you would feel most comfortable talking. If you have a lot of siblings, for example, you may not want to talk in living room where your brothers usually play video games. You may, instead, want to talk in your bedroom, where there are less distractions. Figure out a time when your mom is home and not busy. For example, maybe she usually has free time on Wednesday night just after dinner. Be a little flexible, however, as schedules are subject to change. Think of several times that you could potentially approach your mom. When you find the right time, you can start the conversation with something simple. Say something like, "Mom, can I ask you about something?" If you want your mom to trust you, she needs to believe what you say. Tell her sincerely why you want earrings. Also, be direct about this. Avoid beating around the bush and, instead, just make your case without hesitation. State outright what you want to talk about. Say something like, "Mom, I really want to get my ears pierced and I was hoping to get your permission." From there, give an honest reason as to why you want your ears pierced. For instance, "I just think it would look really nice, and it would be a great way to expand my style and express myself more. I think I would feel a little better about myself if I could pick out earrings that show who I am." You do not want to dominate the conversation This will make you look argumentative and, therefore, immature. If you want your mom to listen, strive to hear her side too. Even if she's saying something you don't like, take the time to listen before you respond. Your mom may have a lot of reasons for not wanting you to get your ears pierced. She may think you're too young. She may worry it's too expensive. Whatever her reason, try to listen. Tell her you understand. You want your mom to feel like you heard what she was saying. You can respond with something simple like, "I understand that you think I'm a little young for this." You can let your mom know why you disagree with her, or push for some kind of compromise. However, you should avoid outright complaining. Do not whine, beg, or argue with your mom if she says, "No" or expresses hesitance. This is unlikely to get her to agree. For example, don't say something like, "Of course I'm old enough! All the girls in school have their ears pierced. Sarah's mom let her do it. Please!" Instead, offer a mature response. Try saying, "I get that you think I'm a little young for this, but a lot of girls my age do have their ears pierced. My friend Sarah's been pretty good at caring for her piercings, and I've been reading up on how to care for mine. I do think I could be responsible about it, even though I'm a little young.", Summary: Apply a topical ointment or lotion after showering. Take antibiotics. Get a steroid injection. | 0 |
The summary of "If you have a mortgage on your property, it may have a “due on sale” clause. This clause gives your lender the right to demand payment in full of the balance you owe on the mortgage if you sell or transfer some portion of your ownership. The reason: The property is the bank's security that if you don't pay your mortgage, the bank can seize your property. Obviously, if you sell or transfer some of your property, that gives the bank less security. However, there are exceptions to the "due on sale" clause. These are spelled out in legislation known as the Garn St. Germain Act--specifically 12 U.S. Code § 1701j–3 - Preemption of due-on-sale prohibitions. There are nine exemptions--nine cases in which a lender may not invoke the "due on sale" clause. Exemption six is: "a transfer where the spouse or children of the borrower become an owner of the property." Nevertheless, if your mortgage has a due-on-sale clause, it doesn't hurt to notify your lender in writing of your intent to add your spouse to the deed. When your name was the only name on the deed, you could do whatever you wanted to do with the property. If you add your spouse, that means he has the same interest in the property as you do, and you can’t sell it, make improvements, or do anything else to change it without his consent. Adding your spouse’s name to the deed will expose your property to any judgments against him. For example, if he has a bad debt, his creditor can sue and force the sale of your property to pay it off. Become familiar with your spouse’s financial history before you decide to add his name to your deed. If you alter the deed so that you and your spouse both own the property, instead of just you, it changes the situation in the eyes of banks, lenders, and the government. Depending on your spouse’s financial status and earnings history, adding his name to your deed may make you ineligible for refinancing, a reverse mortgage, or certain government benefits such as Medicaid. The typical reason to add your spouse’s name to your deed is to remove your property from the time-consuming and costly probate process, guaranteeing your spouse will get the property when you die. However, this isn’t automatically true, and there may be a more efficient way for you to accomplish the same goal. Generally speaking, adding another owner only makes the probate process more complicated. As long as you retain interest in the home, it’s still going to go through probate. If your goal is to avoid probate, you must specify in the deed that you are claiming as joint tenants with a right of survivorship. Some states have a specific deed-holding status: Tenants in the entirety. That applies only to married couples. If you live in a community property state, you can specify the home or land is community property with a right of survivorship. Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin are community property states. Otherwise, married couples usually claim property as tenants by the entirety. Your county recorder’s office will have a list of ways to claim property. Make sure you select the one that best suits your needs. To avoid probate, you must choose an ownership relationship that includes a right of survivorship. That means when you die, your spouse will absorb your ownership share of the property." is Remove any old polish from your toes with acetone. Fill a basin or bowl with warm water. Add a large scoop of epsom salts to the basin. Soak your feet in the salt bath for 10 minutes to soften the skin. Exfoliate your heels with a large file to remove dead skin. | 0 |

Q: Summarize the following: One thing that might help reduce your chest acne is to bathe with a cleanser or soap made specifically for acne prevention. There are many acne body washes and soaps available to buy, or you can use ones marketed for facial acne on your chest. Get a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or alpha hydroxy acids. You can buy many different creams and spot treatments to help get rid of acne. Even if it is not marketed for the chest, you can use any acne product for the body on your chest. Look for products that contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or alpha hydroxy acids. You can find many different acne creams or ointments in the store. However, your doctor can also prescribe you stronger ointments, including antibiotic ointments. You can try acne creams, acne pads to wipe across your chest, or other spot treatments. Most people will see improvement in their chest acne within a few weeks. This may not seem very fast, but you can’t rush it if you want to reduce any chances of scarring or making your skin worse. If you don’t see any improvement in your chest acne within two to three weeks, make an appointment with your dermatologist to see if there are medications or other approaches that may be needed. If you have moderate or severe acne, which means you have 30 or more blackheads or whiteheads, 20 or more inflamed pimples, or 30 or more lesions, you need to be seeing a dermatologist in addition to using at-home methods. Your dermatologist can prescribe a stronger medicine than what you can buy in the store. This might be a topical or oral treatment. Common topical treatments include retinoids and antibiotics, while oral treatments include antibiotics, oral contraceptives, an antiandrogen agent, and isotretinoin. Caution has to be taken if you are planning on getting pregnant while using isotretinoin, it is teratogenic.

Context: Check with local veterinarians' offices, animal shelters, pet supply stores, and other area pet business for referrals to dog rescue organizations in your area. Contact one local dog rescue group for referral to other area groups. Some dog rescue groups work with all dogs, while others are breed-specific. Most rescues groups have established networks with other area rescues. You can also visit the American German Shepherd Rescue Association website for referrals to German Shepherd rescue groups in your state or contact the American Kennel Club for referrals to German Shepherd Rescue Groups. The organization's website also provides links to rescue organizations. Although the majority of dogs looking for new homes through rescue groups are adults, sometimes rescue groups have puppies to place. Most German Shepherds looking for homes through rescue groups do not have papers. If registering your puppy is important, or if you intend to enter it into competitions, you will need its title papers and health records, so a rescued dog may not be right for you. Many dog rescues will require a thorough application process in order to assure that you will be a good fit for the dog. Be prepared to disclose your address and whether you own your home, as well as your employment status and your philosophy when it comes to raising a dog. You will want to make sure that the dog's temperament works well with you and your family. Ask whether you can get the dog checked out by your veterinarian. You will want your vet to check the dog's general health and for serious conditions, such as heart murmurs. Be sure to ask about the dog's health while the rescue has had it and if it is up to date on shots and healthcare. A good rescue should actually offer up this information up front. Get a history of the dog's healthcare up to that point. Has it had its first vaccination, had heart worm treatment, and parasite control? These should have all been done before the age when a puppy is adoptable. While many rescue organizations cannot tell you much about the dogs they place, because the dogs have been rescued off the street or they have been given up anonymously, sometimes they have a bit of information. Get all the information you can about the dog's past so that you can assess their general background and health. Dog rescue organizations are usually run on a shoe-string budget. While they depend mostly on volunteers, they do need funds to transport and care for dogs. Your adoption fee will most likely help to pay for the rescue of other dogs in the future., Summary: Approach her and lead into something appropriate. Pick a conversation starter.

The summary of "One of the main symptoms that mitral stenosis may present with is shortness of breath — in particular, waking in the night with breathing difficulties. The shortness of breath may get worse with exertion, and/or when lying down. The shortness of breath is caused by decreased effectiveness of blood flow with each heartbeat, due to partial blockage of the mitral valve (called "stenosis"). Your shortness of breath may progressively get worse with time. Your exercise tolerance may also decrease with time, as your condition worsens. In addition to shortness of breath, mitral stenosis often presents with fatigue beyond your normal level. Again, this is due to less effective blood circulation, and thus reduced oxygen delivery to your tissues. Over time, the increased work that your heart must do to pump blood throughout your body can lead to progressively worsening fatigue. Mitral stenosis makes it more challenging for blood to pass from your left atrium into your left ventricle. Therefore, the pressure in your left atrium builds up, and can cause a backup of blood in the lungs (because blood flows directly from the lungs into the left atrium). As a result, mitral stenosis may cause fluid build-up in your lungs. It can also cause a cough that may or may not be accompanied by coughing up small amounts of blood. Due to the reduced effectiveness of circulating blood and oxygen distribution to key areas of your body (such as your brain), you may begin to feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint if you have mitral stenosis. If you feel this way, it is important to sit or lie down until you feel better, to avoid passing out while standing and injuring yourself. It is also important to tell your doctor as it may be a sign of mitral stenosis or another medical condition, and it merits proper medical investigation. You may begin to notice swollen feet, ankles, and/or legs if you have mitral stenosis. This is a symptom of right heart failure, which may occur as a result of mitral stenosis. It occurs due to the backup of blood that cannot be effectively pumped through the heart. Heart palpitations may feel like unusually forceful heartbeats, or you may have the sensation of your heart "fluttering" in your chest. Either way, it feels like your heart is behaving abnormally. It is important to tell your doctor about this as it may be a sign of mitral stenosis, or of another heart condition that warrants medical attention and investigation. To diagnose mitral stenosis, your doctor will ask you about predisposing risk factors. One of the major risk factors for mitral stenosis in developing countries is a history of rheumatic fever (which can damage and scar the mitral valve). This is less common in developed countries due to more effective modes of treatment that can prevent the development of rheumatic fever. Other risk factors include calcium deposits around your mitral valve, chest radiation, certain medications, a family history of mitral stenosis, or having congenital birth defects involving the heart." is Watch for shortness of breath. Watch for any unusual fatigue. Look out for a cough and possible blood in your sputum. Take note if you are feeling episodes of dizziness or fainting. Observe for swelling in your lower extremities. Tell your doctor if you are experiencing heart "palpitations" (unusual heartbeats). Consider your risk factors. | 1 |
Context: Essential oils are distilled from leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots, or other elements of plants or herbs. They're often added to neutral, or "carrier" oils such as jojoba, grapeseed, almond or olive oil. Essential oils can help circulation, cleanse the scalp to encourage follicle growth. Unlike water-based treatments, oil is easily absorbed by the skin. Herbal oil treatments for hair loss can be found in many natural food stores or pharmacies. Massaging essential oils into scalp also increases relaxation. One of the causes of hair loss is stress, which releases cortisol around the hair follicles and causes them to deteriorate. Thus, using an herbal essential oil to help care for hair loss will be effective on two fronts! Simply add 3 to 4 drops of essential oil (or a blend) to a tablespoon of a light-textured carrier oil, such as jojoba, grapeseed, almond or olive oil. Peppermint oil stimulates the scalp, improving hair growth and treating the scalp. It will also help the overall health of the scalp, and increase the ability of the hair follicles to bind to the hair. Mustard oil, combined with a tincture of henna, is an ancient remedy for balding hair. Boil henna leaves together with a few drops of mustard oil, then strain into a clean glass jar. Massage into scalp daily for best results. Other essential oils that have been shown to be effective for treating hair loss include clary sage, lavender, lemongrass, rosemary and white thyme. Gently move your fingers over the scalp. This serves to stimulate circulation, and relax the tension of the scalp. Be careful not to pull or tug at the hair. Work the oil into the hair by gently rubbing oil onto the length of the shaft. The longer you leave the oil on your scalp and hair, the more benefits you'll be likely to see. For best results, allow oil to remain on your scalp overnight. You may wish to wrap your hair in a warm, dry towel as the oil soaks into the skin and hair. This will prevent oil from getting on your sheets and pillow. During the day, wearing a shower cap will help prevent the hair oil from staining furniture or clothing. Oil that's been used to treat your hair and scalp will have been absorbed by this point. What's left on your hair is excess. Depending on your hair type and consistency. It may be easy to rinse out, or it might take several repetitions with your regular shampoo. If your hair continues to feel oily, wash again using a clarifying shampoo. Clarifying shampoos have been specially formulated to help restore hair to a healthy balance. Follow any shampooing with gentle conditioner., Summary: Take note of any itching or bumps on your skin.

Each ship is one square wide, and ranges in length: Draw one ship five squares long (the aircraft carrier) Draw one ship four squares long (the battleship) Draw two ships three squares long (the cruiser and the submarine) Draw one ship two squares long (the destroyer) Use the instructions above to play an ordinary game of Battleship. Instead of using pegs, draw successful hits with Xs and misses with dots, or use any system of symbols you find easy to understand. Use the box labeled "enemy ships" to keep track of the shots you've taken, and the box labeled "my ships" to keep track of your enemy's shots., A: Choose a floor finish with a rich, warm color. Coat a section of the floor in laminate finish with a washcloth. Apply the laminate finish to the rest of the floor. Add 2-3 additional coats of laminate finish. Let the final coat cure for 48-72 hours. | 0 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Although powder hair dye is usually more skin-friendly and chemical-free, some people may experience allergic reactions. If this is your first experience with a certain brand, mix a small amount of the powder with water and apply it to your skin. Once two days have passed without red or irritated skin, you can apply the dye knowing that you are not allergic. Common allergy signs may include: intense stinging, skin rash, burning sensations, swelling, or blisters. If you notice any allergy symptoms, call a doctor immediately. Most powered dyes claim to be free of chemicals, ammonia, metallic salts, and pesticides. There are some that even claim to be 100% vegan. Powder hair dye is safer to touch than peroxide-based dyes, but it is still messy. To avoid staining your hands, don a pair of gloves before you begin. Check to see if your dye package comes with disposable gloves before you purchase. Apply the hair dye in your bathroom to avoid staining your carpet and to better see what you’re doing. Most powder hair dyes will require little more than water. Look at the package's directions to see how much water you'll need to add. Stir the dye thoroughly until the paste is about the consistency of yogurt. Dye stains on your neck or shoulders can last for days without lightening. Find an old towel that you don't mind staining and drape it around your neck. Wear old clothes that you don't mind staining, like t-shirts or sweatpants." is Complete a skin allergy test 48 hours beforehand. Put on a pair of rubber or latex gloves. Pour the powder into a bowl, and add water. Cover your shoulders with a towel. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Adorable people possess generous hearts and spirits and are always giving people the kindness and care they deserve. Be kind and compassionate to other people, whether we're talking about your best friend, your mother, or perfect strangers. Don't be rude or snappy, even if you're in a bad mood. Adorable people are supposed to enjoy life and to be loved by others, and you can only achieve those things with a healthy dose of kindness. Ask people how they feel and how they're doing. This doesn't just apply to being kind to humans. Be kind to cats and dogs, too! Better yet if you're always hanging out with your pet. People say owners end up taking on the characteristics of their pets, and pets are usually adorable! Adorable people haven't lost their zest for life or their youthful hopefulness. This means that they generally maintain a positive attitude and are optimistic and fun to be around. You don't have to completely fake it if you've had a bad day, but you should aim to be as positive, cheerful, and upbeat as possible so people have a good time when they're in your orbit. You can't picture an adorable person who is always whining, moping, or expecting the worst, can you? Adorable people haven't been beat down by the world and expect the best to happen. And the more you expect the best to happen, the more that it will. If you want to be a positive person with a good attitude, then you can't go around gossiping about people behind their backs. You should work on saying mostly positive things about people or you'll get a bad reputation. An adorable person can also help other people see the world in a more optimistic light during difficult situations. Adorable people have an innate curiosity about life and want to know everything about the world; it goes back to being a little kid on your father's lap, pointing at everything and asking, "What's that?" That's the attitude you have to maintain if you want to be adorable and stay excited about life. Stay awake and alert and continue appreciating all of the news things the world has to offer. If your friend got a new job, ask all about what he does; if you see an item on the news, read up on it so you get what's going on. If a friend mentions a band you never heard of, ask what they're like -- and if you can go to one of their concerts. Adorable people can be a little flirtatious because they are warm and friendly people. So, make a habit of being just a little bit flirty when you talk to someone of your romantic interest, or even to "friend flirt" a little bit, just by teasing people, being playful, and keeping things light. You don't want to overdo it and look more sexy than you intended; just a bit of flirtation is just fine. Talk a little more softly than you normally would. Make eye contact and then break it every once in a while when it gets to be too much. Play with your hair. This gesture can be interpreted as being flirtatious. This doesn't mean that you have to be a prude or to act like you have no idea what's going on. However, if you want to be adorable, then you don't want to be a crude person who wants to talk about the cruelest, grittiest aspects of life, either. You want to stay a little bit wide-eyed, curious, and affronted by anything that is overly vulgar and offensive. You should avoid cursing too much or just sounding like a frat boy or you won't be adorable for much longer. Be as innocent as you can without being a perfect angel. It's a tricky balance. You don't want people to think that you're so innocent that they can't say anything around you. On the other hand, you don't want people to think your mind is in the gutter, either. Adorable people are always laughing and smiling and having a good time (remember the part about staying positive?). You should have a great sense of humor and shouldn't be afraid to laugh when you think something is funny, however silly or corny it may be. You should always be seen with a smile on your face, or heard laughing from the other side of the room. Adorable people have their hearts open for humor, and are often found laughing or telling jokes. This goes back to maintaining that youthful innocence and fun demeanor. Little kids unabashedly laugh at anything they find funny; when they grow up, they are made to feel ashamed about their laughter and slowly begin to conform to grown-up standards of humor. If you want to be adorable, then you have to throw those expectations out the window and be true to the things that really make you laugh." is Open Gmail. Click the "Apps" icon. Click Contacts.

Passage: If your doctor suspects that your mole is cancerous, s/he will remove part of it and send it to a lab for testing. A biopsy is necessary to diagnose melanoma. Biopsies can be done quickly and easily in your doctor’s office. The biopsy will reveal whether a mole is cancerous or not. It may also tell your doctor what stage of cancer your mole is. In some cases, you may need a surgery called a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). This will help your doctor determine what stage of cancer the melanoma is at. If caught early on before it has spread, melanoma can be eliminated entirely via the removal of the cancerous mole. This process, called excision, often requires only local anesthetic (during which the affected area is numbed and the patient stays awake), though especially large or deep melanomas may require general anesthesia (during which the patient is put to sleep). A special type of excision procedure called Mohs Micrographic Surgery has become recognized as very effective in treating two of the most common types of skin cancer, Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma, as well as melanoma. In a Mohs Surgery, the doctor progressively removes small sections of effective tissue and examines these under a microscope until s/he finds that the sections no longer contain cancer cells. Excision surgeries, if minor, may only require stitches, while larger excisions may require a skin graft. You may need someone to help you care for the wound after surgery if you have a large surgery site. Talk with your doctor before surgery about what to expect. Follow the doctor’s instructions and keep any follow-up appointments. If the cancer spreads beyond the initial mole and into the lymph nodes or other organs, traditional cancer treatments may become necessary. Chemotherapy, radiation, and a variety of other treatments are available for treating skin cancer. Some of these options offer a chance to halt the disease, while others are palliative - meant to improve and/or lengthen the patient's life in incurable cases. Talk to your doctor to determine your options if a simple excision surgery is insufficient for treating your melanoma. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet light (usually in the form of sunlight, but also from tanning beds, etc.) is a major contributor to the development of melanoma. To reduce your risk of developing the types of moles which can progress into melanoma, avoid activities that require staying in direct sunlight for long periods of time, like tanning, outdoor swimming, and so on. If you do spend time in the sun, use plenty of high-SPF sunscreen of at least SPF 30. This advice is especially important for pale-skinned individuals, as they are naturally more susceptible to skin damage from sun exposure. Having melanoma makes you 5 times more likely to have another, so it’s important to have regular skin checks. Make follow-up appointments with your doctor and consult with your physician about what other preventive measures you may need. You should also have regular skin checks if you or your family have a history of skin cancer., Summary: Trim down the shoots into manageable chunks. Dispose of the excess leaves.

Q: Summarize the following: If you've lived in your home for a while, you probably know where most of the ducts are. Take some time to locate all of them anyway in order to save time. Some homes have vents high on the walls, and others have them located at the base of the walls. Plan to clean each one of these in a systematic fashion. Basically, clean them room-by-room—unless you want to skip around to make it last longer. Some vents might be located in unusual places. Roam around your house to locate them all. You'll probably find other things that need to be cleaned or fixed in the process, but don't get distracted. Check for anything underneath the duct, such as furniture, hanging pictures, carpet or rugs, decorative items, etc. Move them out of the way or cover them so that they don't get dust or dirt landing on them. You don't need another thing to clean. A ladder, step-stool, stable chair, or particularly strong person that can hold you up will work. Make sure that the item is sitting flat and does not wobble under your weight. Cleaner air is great, but it doesn't have to come at the cost of a twisted ankle. In basic terms, the supply registers are the things that supply heated air to the rooms. Lift the register, cover it in a paper towel, and put it back in place. It's as easy as that. This will keep excess dust from being released into the room while you clean the air ducts. Doing this will keep everyone in the house from inhaling and coughing up all the dust you're about to release. Go to your thermostat and turn the fan on. Turn the heat and cool mode off. You'll only want the fan to be running. Look at your furnace filter to make sure it isn't missing or damaged. The filter is important so that the dust you're about to clean out doesn't get stuck in the fan motor. That would create another problem. Use something similar to a toilet brush, but you probably don't want to use the toilet brush you already have. A fairly large, stiff-bristle paintbrush is ideal. Use that brush to knock loose the stuck or damp dust in the air vents., A: Locate the air ducts in your home. Look underneath the ducts. Set up a stable surface to stand on if your vent is high. Cover the supply registers with paper towels. Turn on a fan in the room you're starting with. Check the filter. Loosen up the dust in the air ducts. | 1 |
The summary of "Once you’ve accepted a bid from a fraternity, you still have to undergo the pledging process, which is essentially where you continue learning about the frat and pledge to uphold the traditions and expectations thereof. You can expect to dedicate a large portion of time organizing frat events, representing the frat at school-related events such as sports, and giving time to the frat’s chosen charitable organizations. Due to the highly controversial history and connotations of pledging, many fraternities have actually done away with the process. This means that while you will be expected to maintain a commitment to learning about the community and upholding its practices, you may not actually have to pledge. While many college campuses and fraternity chapters have widely cracked down on the practice of hazing, it’s not unheard of. Generally speaking, fraternities feel the hazing process is a rite of passage proving your dedication and desire to belong. However, there’s a huge difference between showing your dedication and subjecting yourself to humiliating or potentially dangerous acts. If you ever feel as though you’re being harassed by the brothers of your fraternity as you pledge, then take it to someone higher up. If you feel the actions go beyond anything that the higher ranking brothers of the fraternity would allow, take it to them. If you don’t feel like you can take it to other frat brothers, then talk to someone at the student affairs office at your college. The student affairs office will allow you to remain anonymous if you so choose. They will then take up the issue with the fraternity and even law enforcement if necessary. Never feel as though you’re snitching or simply can’t hack it in the face of unacceptable behavior. You’ll have to decide for yourself what you find an acceptable level of razzing from the fraternity brothers as you earn your place in the organization as a pledge, but never allow them to cross a line with which you aren’t comfortable. Though not hazing, pledging is still an intensive process of continuous learning and integration into fraternity life. You can expect to spend roughly six to twelve weeks as a pledge depending on your fraternity. During your time as a pledge, the fraternity will expect you to sample the wide range of activities in which they take part. This usually includes helping one of the philanthropic organizations the fraternity supports. This can range from helping to organize a fundraiser to donating time to the organization. Many fraternities require keeping your GPA above a certain threshold in order to maintain your involvement. Develop good study habits early on, so that you’re never stuck in a bad situation when grades roll around. While pledging, the frat will likely advise you to familiarize yourself with study halls and other academic support that they offer. In addition to philanthropic and academic responsibilities, fraternities will also expect you to maintain a level of participation with social events. Fraternities want to be well represented at campus functions, athletic events, and other social venues, and pledges may be expected to engage in quite a few of these events. Pledges may even be tasked with helping do the legwork in getting the word out about the fraternity’s events. Above all, prepare to be active." is Take a quiz online to find your style.

Context: No matter what the subject, know that you will lessen the burden on your shoulders as soon as you share it with your parents. Don’t feel worried, anxious, or embarrassed as your parents are meant to be there for you always. They may also know more than you think. With proper planning and communication, you will be able to have the conversation that you’re looking for. Your parents get worried because they care about you and want the best for you. With that in mind, they will be happy that you are seeking their advice for a problem. Any problems or awkwardness won’t simply go away if you avoid having a conversation with your parents. Relieve the stress by getting it out in the open. Knowing that your parents are trying to understand you and solve any problems can help alleviate your stress and anxiety. Do you want to talk to both your parents or is it something mom is better suited to handle? Your relationship with each parent is going to be different so ask yourself what will be the most appropriate course of action. Some topics might be easier to discuss with one parent over the other, one parent might be calmer while the other is quicker to anger. In this case, it may be best to talk to your calmer parent first and then talk to the other parent together. Know that your parents are most likely going to tell each other about a conversation you have no matter if you only tell one of them. It’s best to include both in your conversation but smart to enlist the help of one to talk to the other if you feel that’s the best course of action. For example, you don’t want to alienate your dad by only telling your mom about a school bully. Ask your mom if you can talk to your dad together because you’re scared he will get angry at you for not standing up and fighting. Find out your parents’ schedule so you know when a good time to chat will be. You don’t want your parents to be distracted thinking about a meeting or having to prepare dinner. The location of your conversation is also important as you may not want any distractions like TV or your parents’ coworkers chiming in. While you may know what you want out of the conversation, there could be several different answers your parents give you. Plan for everything. Ideally, you want the conversation to go your way but it’s okay if it doesn’t. You are never alone as there are numerous resources including teachers and other responsible adults. If the outcome is not what you desired, you can try several things: Talk to your parents again. Perhaps you caught them at a bad time. If they are already having a bad day they might not be in the best frame of mind to discuss your situation with an open mind. For example, don’t ask them if you can go to the school dance after you just made them late for your sister’s dance recital. Drop it. There’s no sense in infuriating your parents and ruining your chance at getting what you want anytime in the near future. If you have had a respectful and open conversation and both sides have pleaded their case, accept that your parent’s point of view. Showing them that you are mature enough to respect their perspective will help your case in the future as they will be more receptive to what you have to say knowing that you are able to keep your emotions in check. Seek outside support. Enlist the help of your grandparents, your friends' parents, or teachers to help plead your case. Your parents will always be protective of you so asking outside support can convince them that you can handle a situation. For example, you can ask an older sibling tell your parents that they have been to the area that you want to go to and can escort you to the location to make sure it's safe., Summary: Be brave. Don’t be worried that your parents will get upset or react poorly. Don’t avoid the conversation. Know who you want to speak to. Schedule a time and place to have your conversation. Plan for the outcome. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: When you are wrapping a cylinder-shaped gift, you can easily measure out the amount of paper using the gift as a guide. Place the gift on the wrapping paper and make sure that the paper can go all the way around the cylinder. Cut the paper so that there is about a ½ inch of overlap. For the ends of the gift, pull up the paper on either side. The paper should be able to reach the center of the gift on both sides. It is always a good idea to give yourself a little bit of extra paper. Use a durable wrapping paper that does not tear easily. Once the paper has been cut, place the gift in the center of the paper with the good side of the wrapping paper facing downwards. Make a tiny ¼ inch fold on one of edges of the long side of paper. Place a strip of double-sided tape along this fold. Then wrap the paper around the cylinder and seal with the tape. Check to make sure the gift is in the center of the wrapping paper and adjust accordingly by sliding it into the middle. Begin with one end of the gift. Take the seam of the wrapping paper and fold it into the center. Hold down the piece with one finger and then with your other hand grab the edge of the paper and pull it into the centre. This should begin to fold the paper like a fan with pleats. As you move around the cylinder you can use your finger to crease the pleats. Continue this process all the way around the gift. Once finished complete the same process on the other end of the gift. After you have created the fan fold at both ends of the gift you can remove any excess paper by cutting it off and taping the end down using double-sided tape. Alternatively, you could cut a small circle of wrapping paper, either using the same paper or a complimentary color, and tape it at the centre of the end to cover up any blemishes. Stand the cylinder-shaped gift upright and place it on the centre of a long piece of ribbon. Pull the ribbon up the side of the gift and tie a knot in the center at the top of the gift. Cut the ribbon so that there are two long tails of ribbon on either side. Then add a bow to the center of the gift on top of the ribbon knot. If desired, you can curl the ribbon and let it hang down the sides of the gift. Alternatively, could put a bow on the top of the gift without adding a ribbon for a simpler look. Choose a bow and ribbon that complement the color of the wrapping paper. For example, if you are using a red paper with gold stars, you may want to use a gold ribbon and a gold bow., A: Measure and cut the paper. Wrap the paper around the cylinder. Use your finger to create pleats. Remove or hide any blemishes. Finish with a bow and/or ribbon. | 1 |

Context: Use an electric tuner to make sure your strings are in standard tuning first. The 3rd string from the top on the guitar neck, referred to as the 4th string, is a D note when your guitar is in standard tuning. Strum the string without pressing down on any of the frets on the neck of the guitar to play a D. This is known as playing the string "open." You will match the sound of the top string, or 6th string, with the 4th string. Holding down the frets, or rectangles on the neck of your guitar, will change the note of the string. Listen to the difference in tone between the top string, or 6th string, and the 4th string as they play simultaneously. This is because in standard tuning, the 6th string is tuned to an E note and the 4th string is tuned to a D note. If the guitar is in standard tuning, playing the two strings at the same time should sound off key. The goal is to lower the note of your 6th string so that it matches the tone of the 4th. Turn the 6th string knob at the top of the guitar neck counterclockwise to lower it’s tone to a D note. Listen to the vibrations between the two strings and stop turning the knob when they match up. You’ll know they are matching when you don’t hear any warble sounds between the two notes and they both match up. Tuning a guitar by ear takes practice and experience., Summary: Pluck the 3rd string from the top. Pluck the top string while the 4th string is still ringing out. Turn the 6th string knob until it matches the tone of the 4th string. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: Repeat this process with each section of hair, wrapping the hair around the rag, then the rag around the hair and tying it off. Keep your sections of hair as even as possible in order to have consistent curls. This could be the hardest part, but if you have grown your hair this long, you probably have the patience to wait it out. It is best to begin this entire process at least 24 hours before you want your style to be complete. At the very least, create your curls early in the evening, then sleep on them. Wrapped hair takes a long time to dry. The more hair you used in each section, the longer it will take to dry. If you need to speed up the drying time, you can sit under a bonnet hair dryer for an hour to finish off the process., A: Open your Apple Watch's app page.

Passage: Although you want to help your parent, your parent's mental health is not your responsibility. Having a suicidal parent is stressful enough without adding any additional burden of responsibility. Help to the extent that you can, but recognize your limits. You can aid in recovery, but it is not your responsibility to heal your parent of their mental struggles; that is the role of a therapist or counselor. Children tend to blame themselves for a parent's mental health. They often feel that they could somehow make the parent all better if they were more obedient, more sensitive and/or more mature. This is not your problem, though; it is your parents's own struggle. If you find yourself overwhelmed, take a less active role. Do not feel ashamed at needing to take care of yourself as well. Although this may seem obvious, it's important to show concern by asking questions if your parent talks about suicide. You won't cause additional harm by asking caring questions. Many people who are suicidal will come up with a specific plan. Knowing how, when, and where they plan to do it will give you key information that you can pass on to your professional mental health provider. Isolation is tempting for people who are feeling suicidal, but this can make the situation worse. Support your parent to the best of your ability by helping out around the house, cooking meals, cleaning, and being a supportive presence. Beyond that, ensure that there is adequate social and professional support. Does your parent have caring friends he or she can talk to? Other family members? A spouse? Does your parent have a supportive community, such as church or another social group? If all else fails, there are crisis hotlines your parent can call to have someone to talk to. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number is 1 (800) 273-8255. This service is freely available 24/7 and is confidential. Whether the cause of feeling suicidal is mental illness or something else, entering therapy can provide the kind of relationship and safe space necessary for your parent to process those problematic feelings. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an evidence-based treatment that can help your parent examine and change core beliefs/thoughts that may lead to suicidal emotions. Interpersonal therapy is an evidence-based treatment that can assist in coping with personal relationships and help to assess and work on personality issues, reducing the desire to escape by committing suicide. Tell your parent about therapeutic alliance, or the importance of a good patient-therapist fit. Research shows that "fit" is one of the most important aspects of patient recovery. Encourage them to look for the right therapist, even if that means "shopping around." Search for a therapist near you: click here. Prescription medications exist for many of the primary causes of suicide, such as depression and mood disorders. Have them ask their healthcare professional about medication options. Antidepressants can help with depression, although there may also be danger of increasing suicidal thoughts, so be sure to have your parent discuss this decision with a medical professional. Make sure your parent is following doctor's orders with regard to any medications he is already prescribed. Quitting psychiatric medication is a delicate process that should be coordinated with a healthcare professional. Being inconsistent in taking medication or trying to stop cold turkey can cause problems such as anxiety, irritability, fatigue, headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Call emergency services, your mental healthcare professional, or tell someone close by (such as a family member or adult friend) if you think that your parent is in immediate danger from a suicidal impulse. Have emergency numbers written down and easily available. This can be saved to your phone, in a notebook, or even posted on the refrigerator. It can also help give you some peace of mind. Wherever possible, remove dangerous objects from the house. If one of your parents owns a gun, talk to an adult (aunt, uncle, other parent) about making sure it's safe from being easily accessed by the suicidal parent., Summary: Realize that you are not responsible. Take your parent seriously. Make sure your parent has support. Encourage your parent to pursue therapy. Talk to your parent about psychiatric medication. Intervene if immediate danger exists. | 1 |
Context: Assess your own needs. Know from the start what you truly expect from this relationship. Ask yourself whether you intend to pursue and commit to a lifelong relationship with the father or whether you’re only interested in a casual relationship. Whether the father is a widower, a divorcee, or a parent out of wedlock, know that he’s most likely in a period of mourning for his previous relationship. Also be aware that men are more likely than women to hide their feelings, so don’t assume everything’s fine just because he says it is. If you’re interested in pursuing a longterm relationship, invite him to openly discuss his loss. Use your conversations to evaluate how well he’s coping with it. Embrace early on that his child should be his #1 priority. Be flexible when scheduling your own quality time with him. Appreciate the fact that his money should be earmarked first and foremost for his child’s needs. This may sound like a bummer, but think of it as an excellent way to judge the father’s character. Whether he’s a widower, divorced, or otherwise estranged from the mother, imagine that you’re the mother in this situation. Ask yourself if he’s acting as responsibly toward his child as you would expect him to act toward your own. If he’s showering you with time, money, and attention while neglecting his kid, consider that a red flag. Remember this is only temporary. Look forward to becoming an equal member of the family as you gradually integrate over time. If you’re expecting your relationship with the father to become permanent, be prepared to have one with the child and mother as well. Even if the mother has passed on or is largely absent from your own life, they will still maintain a large presence in both the father and child’s mind. Ask the father early on about the family’s history. Learn about both the child and the mother before you meet them: their character, their interests, their strengths and weaknesses, etc. Use the father’s answers to better understand the man you’re dating. For instance, while he may have criticisms about the mother that are perfectly valid, be wary if he places 100% of the blame for everything that’s ever gone wrong entirely on her. Judge for yourself how well he’s able to assess a situation objectively and accept responsibility for his part in it. Know that you’ll be facing many more variables than you would be in a relationship with a single man without children. Understand that the father’s relationship with the mother may change over time, for better or for worse. Appreciate the fact that the child’s thoughts and feelings may alter as well, both as they age and as your own status in their lives changes. Expect to face far more stress and challenges than you’ve grown accustomed to in childless relationships. Think positively! While it’s important to be realistic about the situation that you’re entering, don’t let challenges and stress dissuade you from pursuing a future with the father if you think it’s worth it. Remember that challenges met and overcome can be rewarding experiences in their own right. ” Whether you’re hoping to marry the father and/or have children of your own, accept the fact that the father has already achieved one or both of these milestones. Ask yourself how much importance you really place on reaching these steps together as mutual “firsts” in your life journey. At the same time, consider the fact that you’ll have a partner who has prior concrete experience with things that, for now, are only hypothetical for you personally. Whether it’s committing to a long-term relationship or having another child, you’ll have a partner with more intimate knowledge about the situation as a whole and what to expect, as well as more self-knowledge about his own capabilities in that situation. Once you’ve considered the reality of dating a single father, reevaluate what you honestly need from a relationship. Based on that, ask yourself if you can really expect those needs to be fulfilled in these circumstances. Decide then whether to walk away or continue dating. If you’re only seeking a casual relationship, let the father know. If he’s fine with that, continue to date without involving yourself at all in the child’s life. If you want to keep things casual but he wants more, or if you’d like to pursue a deeper relationship as well but feel way too daunted by the circumstances, let him know that there’s a conflict of interest here. Tell him that, while you like him just fine, the situation is simply too much for you. Don’t allow yourself to be backed into a situation that you can’t handle. If you’re willing to commit to a long-term relationship and become part of the child’s life, find out as much as you can about what you’re walking into.

The answer of "Summarize the following Studies reveal that women who exercise feel better about their bodies no matter what kind of body type they have. If you haven’t already, find an exercise you like and stick with it. It could be biking, dancing, walking, roller-skating, or running. Choosing something you enjoy will help you stick with the exercise longer. Ask your friends to join you if you do not want to go at it alone. Try not to exercise with a weight goal in mind. Instead, set different goals for yourself each week like, “I will bike two to three times this week.” Supplying your body with the nutrients it needs to function can also boost your confidence both mentally and physically. Make sure you are getting the recommended amount of protein, vegetables, fruits, carbohydrates, and dairy each day. Try to limit your intake of sugar as well. It is recommended that you eat at least five portions of fruits and vegetables, three portions of protein and three portions of carbohydrates daily. Treat yourself to a massage or a manicure. Take a long bath and slather yourself with a moisturizing lotion afterwards. Rewarding your body will help you reconnect with it and appreciate it." is Place a sheet on the floor or on your work surface before you prime. Apply a primer to the wood.

Passage: While you may have handled conflict great during a college internship, if you graduated 3 years ago this is not the best example. Employers want to know who you are now, so always pick a recent example. Preferably, your example should be from a job you've held in the last 12 months. If you've been unemployed for awhile, do you have any non-work related examples? An example from volunteer work can also help showcase your experience. You want to show that you would be an asset to a company, so pick a story that makes you shine. Choose a situation where you produced amazing results and were successful in resolving a conflict. Do not pick an example where you left a situation bitter or frustrated. Focus on positive experiences, in which a situation was successfully resolved. Results are also important to showcase. You may have smoothed over a disagreement between two co-workers, but maybe the only results were a decent 20 minute presentation. You want bigger results than that. For example, talk about the time you helped smooth out a misunderstanding between a client and employee, which resulted in a huge sale for your company. Never focus solely on teamwork in a team player question. You only have so much time in a job interview to speak to all of your strengths, so make sure to get in as much information as possible. Think of what other strengths were involved in a team work experience you had. Say you worked with a co-worker on a sales pitch for a client. In addition to working successfully on a team, what other skills did this situation require? For example, you probably had to make a deadline, use great verbal communication skills, and demonstrate great interpersonal skills. Find ways to work in these skills as you outline your experience working on a team. Ask a friend or family member to help you practice for your interview by acting as the interviewer. Give them the list of sample questions you predicted might be asked. Encourage them to add their own questions too, so you can get comfortable performing under pressure when you haven't crafted the perfect answer beforehand. The more you practice and become familiar with possible questions and your answers, the easier it will be to stay calm under pressure. Ask your “interviewer” to challenge you with difficult questions and resist offering feedback until the practice is over. For this exercise, they should consider you one of several strangers they have to meet with to fill the position., Summary: Combine two Striped Candies. Combine a Striped Candy and a Wrapped Candy.

Passage: Before talking to your parents, you and your friends should get together and all figure out the details of the trip. The most important part of your trip to figure out is where you are going to go. Even if you already know your destination, make sure you know exactly what region or area you want to visit. If you plan to visit multiple locations, make sure you know exactly where they are and how far apart they are from each other. For instance, even if you know that you want to visit California, you can narrow down your trip to visiting San Francisco and San Jose. If you and your friends disagree on where to go, try to reach a consensus. If your parents pick up on the fact that you and your friends have different thoughts about the trip, they will be less likely to give their permission. Once you know where you're going, figure out how long your trip will take, including travel time. Make sure that you and your friends check a calendar and pick the exact dates you will be leaving and coming back. Check in with your friends about their schedules and coordinate a time that works best for everyone. Make a comprehensive day-by-day plan that details exactly where you will be throughout your trip. This is especially important if you are visiting multiple cities or countries. You need to know exactly what days you will be in each location. You also should figure out what main activity or activities you will be doing each day. For example, one day in your schedule could be: “Monday, September 12: 3rd day in Mexico City. Visit the Anthropology Museum and the Casa Azul. Eat dinner downtown.” Hear your friends out and compromise when you are planning your activities. Once you know exactly where you'll be on each day of your trip, you can start to figure out how you will get from place to place. If you are travelling a long distance, you will have to fly to your destination. Then figure out how to get from place to place based on the plans that you laid out. Note the cost of the transportation. Don't actually buy any tickets, just write down how much a ticket would cost. Figure out how where you will stay overnight for each part of the trip. Ask you friends if they know of anyone in the place you are visiting where you could stay. Also check out the prices of hotels and hostels, and write down several options. Aim to be economical, but don't stay somewhere that isn't reputable just because it's cheap. Add up the price of your transportation and lodgings. Then add the approximate amount you expect to spend per day on food and souvenirs. Add a little extra in case something comes up. This should give you a good estimate of the cost of the trip. Adding a little extra money to your budget in case of emergencies will help show your parents that you are responsible and thinking ahead. This may help convince them to let you go. Either type up or write down your itinerary. It should include everything that you have already worked on, and should be organized by day. Each day should include the main activities of the day along with the price of each hotel and method of transport. This will show your parents how much thought you put into your trip as well as give them an idea of the sorts of things you will be doing. This may help reassure them., Summary: Cut away dead, diseased, or damaged branches promptly. Sanitize your pruners before and during trimmings. Sanitize any other tools you use in the same fashion. Leave the “branch collar” behind when you remove a branch. Remove thick branches by making 3 separate cuts. Train a new “leader” if the current one is damaged.

Context: The priest will give you a "Go in peace to love and serve the Lord," or something very similar. Smile, thank him, walk out, and be excited! Your sins have been forgiven and you have a clean slate to work with. You're that much closer to God. Can you feel it? Now what are you going to do with your fresh start? If you forgot a sin you wished to mention, don't fret. God knows of your intentions and it has been forgiven along with the others. However, you may want to mention it next time. Or it could fester and turn into some unnecessary guilt! Many often choose to return to their pew and resume prayer, offering a silent thanks to God. And if your penance was a select number of certain prayers, there's no better time than now to channel God. So feel free to return to your seat and bookend your reconciliation with prayer. Many reflect on their experiences and how they can avoid the sins in the future. When's the next time you plan on confessing? What can you do in the meantime to find inspiration to live in His image? Harden your resolve now to try to live as He intended. Whatever the priest suggested you do for penance is best completed as soon as possible. Whether that's in the pew or a conversation you need to have with a loved one, seek to fulfill His desires as soon as possible. You'll feel so relieved when all is said and done! Upon completion of your penance, you may want to take a moment to thank God and revel in your absolution. Think about how much God loves you and how wonderful it is to be a part of His glory. Not everyone is so lucky! It is not expected that you never sin again. God knows that's ridiculous! It's only expected that you seek to avoid the situations that lead you to sin. It's also not wise to view confession as an excuse to sin! No, no, no. Confession is just a part of bringing humanity a bit closer to God, imperfections and all. All He wants is for you to do your best. As you go about the next days and weeks, keep in mind God's part in your life and how you can strive to live as He desires. Seek out the scriptures for inspiration, and surround yourself with those who yearn to live in similar ways. In other words? Go forth to love and serve the Lord. Your Lord., Summary: Stick it out with your old car. Keep the old care in good condition. Keep up the payments. Consider opening a separate bank account dedicated to saving for your new car.

Passage: . Each kit is different, using different kinds of drums that make up a set. There are different brands, sizes, sticks used, and different tunings among other slighter modifications that will affect the overall sound of each instrument. Still, many drum kits employ basically the same fundamental pieces. Most basic kits include: A bass drum, which makes the low-pitched booming sound when struck by a weighted mallet operated by a foot pedal. A snare drum, usually located to the non-dominant side of the drummer and played with the drummer's non-dominant stick. The snare is a tight, bright drum with a band of rattling metal beads under the drum head. Typically, the snare is known for its crisp "click" sound followed by the "resonating shuffle" of the beads. There are many types of tom-tom drums, but the most common three are the Floor Tom (the deepest of the three), the Mid-Tom (the medium of the three), and the High-Tom (the most high-pitched of the three). A very basic kit may only have the floor tom, while others may have many. They're tuned differently to create an array of different deeper noises for fills. There are many different kinds of cymbals, varying in type, shape, and sound. A cymbal is a round, metal object that resonates when struck. The four most commonly used types of cymbals are the hi-hat, the ride, the splash, and the crash. The hi-hat is a pair of cymbals mounted on a foot pedal. The foot pedal is usually played by the left foot and controls the cymbals, bringing them together when pressed and bringing them apart when released. You can strike the cymbal when it is apart or closed, and you can shut the cymbals with your feet at different rates of speed, each creating a different sound. The ride cymbal creates a more subtle and deeper sound than the other cymbals because it is used to play very repetitively throughout most music. The cymbal will usually resonate from one strike to another, featuring a very long reverberating "finish" to the sound. The splash is a cymbal that creates a metallic "splashing" sound, similar to the sound a water splash makes. It dies quickly after peaking and is typically used in basic fills to ornament your beat. The crash is similar to the splash, but usually generates a loud and long, sustained sound. Listen for the crash at the end of measures in pop music or especially in periods of heightened drama in orchestral music. . If you are interested in drumming, price many different new and used options before you spend the money on a set. Talk to the people at the stores and they should steer you in the right direction. Start out with a cheap, new set or a used set until you finally decide if you are going to stick with it. You can also consider joining your school band to have access to the equipment and lessons to help you learn. You might even ask in your band department if you'd be allowed to practice a few times on a kit because you're interested in the drums. The music folk are generally friendly people, and it can't hurt to ask. . There are a lot out there, but there is no right or wrong stick. 5A is a good stick weight for beginners. Have your drum teacher or the people at the store give you some pointers on how to hold the sticks, how to hit the drum properly, how to adjust the drums to fit your stature, and how to set up your kit at home. You can also find a lot of this information for free on the internet. Good posture will make you more comfortable during practice and help you reach the drums more easily. You'll sound better and enjoy playing more by improving your posture. Sit up straight and keep your elbows in. Stay in tight to the kit, keeping the floor pedals at a comfortable distance from you., Summary: Get familiar with the basic drum kit Learn the different kinds of cymbals. Research starter kits Try a variety of drumsticks Learn to sit at the kit with the proper posture. | 1 |
Passage: Spray the hair with water. Comb through the saturated hair to remove any knots. Part the hair into five or seven sections. Once complete, unclip each section one at a time. Unclip one section at a time and remove a ½ inch section of hair along the perimeter of the hairline. Comb the wet hair along the perimeter of your forehead over the front of the face until it is straight. Allow the hair to hang as you determine the length of the hair. Without pulling on the hair, hold a one inch section just above the point at which you would like to cut. Use your shears to cut straight across the one inch section. Using the previously cut section as a traveling guide, cut the hair remaining in the front section in this manner. Comb the hair around the side and back perimeter of your hairline until it lays flat. Use a ruler or your comb to determine the amount of hair to cut off—it must match the front length. Start at the center back of the head. Without pulling on the hair, hold a one inch section just above the point at which you would like to cut. Use your shears to cut straight across the one inch section. Using the previously cut section as a traveling guide, work from the back to the front of each side. Unclip and section off a ½ inch layer of hair from the section(s) at the nape of the neck—start at the bottom of the section and work your way up. Comb the hair until it lays flat. Start at the center back of the head. Without pulling on the hair, hold a one inch section just above the point at which you would like to cut—use the previously cut hair as your guide. Use your shears to cut straight across the one inch section. Repeat this process until you have finished cutting the hair remaining in the nape section. Unclip and section off a ½ inch layer of hair from the side sections—start at the bottom of the section and work your way up. Comb the hair until it lays flat. Start at the center back of the head. Without pulling on the hair, hold a one inch section just above the point at which you would like to cut—use the previously cut hair as your guide. Use your shears to cut straight across the one inch section. Repeat this process until you have finished cutting the hair remaining in the side sections. If you divided your hair into seven sections, repeat this process on the crown sections. Unclip and comb the top section—evenly distribute the hair on each side. Start at the center back of the head. Without pulling on the hair, hold a one inch section just above the point at which you would like to cut—use the previously cut hair as your guide. Use your shears to cut straight across the one inch section.

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 Particularly if you witnessed any kind of accident, illegal behavior, or if your car was the victim of a hit-and-run incident, you should not attempt to locate the other driver on your own. Your best option is to notify the police with whatever information you can provide. If possible, you should try to provide them with: The make and model of the car. The car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If you have an opportunity to get close enough to the car, you can find the VIN on most cars by looking through the windshield at the bottom corner of the dashboard on the driver’s side. The license plate number. Any particular distinguishing features, such as unusual accessories, paint job, or damage to the car. Your insurance company has resources available that you may not. If you are filing a claim, or even just investigating the possibility of a future claim, the insurance company may be able to identify the owner of the other car. If you can provide the Registry of Motor Vehicles with the license plate or VIN for a car, they will be able to use that information to identify the owner. They will probably not be allowed to give that information to you directly, but depending on why you need the information, they may be able to provide the information to some other appropriate person (your insurance agent, for example)." is Call the police.

Context: This is the simplest way to check that your answer is correct. If you solved for a variable or multiple variables, plug these solutions back into the equation and see if they make the equation true. If they do, then the solutions are correct. If the resulting equation isn’t true, then you know you’ve made a mistake in your calculations. For example, if you are working with the equation 4x=24+6x{\displaystyle 4x=24+6x}, and you find that x=12{\displaystyle x=12}, substitute 12 into the equation for x{\displaystyle x} to see if it makes the equation true:4(12)=24+6(12){\displaystyle 4(12)=24+6(12)}48=24+72{\displaystyle 48=24+72}48=96{\displaystyle 48=96}Since the equation isn’t true, you know that 12 isn’t the correct solution, and you need to go back and check your work. Look back through your work and make sure that you completed all of your calculations in the correct order. You can recall the acronym PEMDAS to remember parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. For example, if you are solving the equation 3(2x+3)+14−2(42){\displaystyle 3(2x+3)+14-2(4^{2})} and you go back and see that your first step was to subtract 2 from 14, you know your answer is wrong, because you should have calculated the values in parentheses and exponents first, and then completed multiplication, before you did any adding and subtracting. A common error in algebra is making mistakes when working with positive and negative values. Go over your work again, and keep in mind the following rules about positive and negative signs: Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it.(3−(−7)=3+7=10{\displaystyle 3-(-7)=3+7=10}) Adding two negative numbers together results in a negative number. (−3+−7=−10{\displaystyle -3+-7=-10}) A negative time a negative equals a positive.(−3×−7=21{\displaystyle -3\times -7=21}) A negative times a positive equals a negative.(−3×7=−21{\displaystyle -3\times 7=-21}) The variable −x{\displaystyle -x} is not necessarily negative. The negative sign indicates that it is the opposite of whatever x{\displaystyle x} is. So, if x{\displaystyle x} is positive, −x{\displaystyle -x} is negative. If x{\displaystyle x} is negative, −x{\displaystyle -x} is positive. It helps to check your work with fresh eyes. If you have a problem that is giving you a lot of trouble, set it aside for a few hours, then come back to it later. On a separate sheet of paper, try reworking the problem without going over your original work. If possible, use a different method to solve this time. If your original solution and the new one match, you can be confident that your answer is correct. There are a number of calculators available online that allow you to type in your work, including variables, and calculate the solution. Most calculators also show you the steps needed in order to arrive at the solution. Some good sites for algebra calculators include Symbolab and Mathway. As when using a regular calculator, don’t use an algebra calculator to do your work for you. Do the problems first, then use the algebra calculator to check your solutions. If your answer is incorrect, go back and rework the problem; don’t just copy the solution from the calculator., Summary: Identify a nestling by its fluffy coating or bare skin.

Q: Summarize the following: Once you have downloaded and installed your VPN, it’s time to start it up. Locate your application from your Applications folder, Taskbar, or desktop/home screen. On Windows, you may have an icon on your desktop or you may need to click on the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of the screen and select the program from the Taskbar or the Programs menu. On a Mac, you can find your VPN application in your ‘’’Applications’’’ folder. Most VPN applications will give you easy to follow prompts that get you started if this is your first time using the software. Some services like CyberGhost don’t require you to do anything but click the big yellow button in the center of the application. Other’s like TunnelBear ask you to set up an account. You can also edit your preferences to tailor your experience. Most applications give you the option to automatically connect upon startup of your computer. You may also have the option for TCP overrides. This override means that if your internet service provider throttles your connection, you can choose to force your VPN to use a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) which is more stable, though sometimes a bit slower. If you don’t have an account you may have to sign up. If you are using a company's VPN, or most personal software, this will grant you secure access to your network. At this point, operations vary depending on how your company has configured its VPN access. The VPN software may open a new window that looks like your desktop at work, also known as a virtual desktop, where you can access your company resources. Or, you may need to launch your web browser and enter a secure web address where you can access your company's resources. If your VPN session does not launch a virtual desktop, your IT department should provide you with instructions for accessing your resources. Now that you are signed up and logged in, you can begin running your VPN to protect your identity, access protected files on a network, or access websites and content not available in your country. You can also change your settings to allow your VPN to launch automatically and connect to a random network, or you can choose when and how you connect. If you are using a free VPN, most likely you’ll only get a certain amount of data to use per month. Or you may be restricted to a time limit. For these reasons, it’s best to only activate your VPN when you need to secure your IP address. For example, you may want to use your VPN when on a public Wi-Fi like at a coffee shop, but not use it home. Or consider choosing VPN providers that do not limit your data as mentioned above. You can use your VPN to watch Netflix in a different country, allowing you access to movies and shows that you may not get normally. VPNs that let you choose where you’re browsing from, by changing your IP address, allow you to pick a country that you want to view from. If you’re in the UK, you can change your location to somewhere in the U.S. to view the American Netflix., A: Read the source or sources carefully and take notes.

Passage: LA is divided into four main quadrants - East Side, South Side, West Side and the Valley. Each quadrant holds many different neighborhoods and each has its own distinct feel. Figure out which quadrant you want to live in, then research neighborhoods in that area. The Valley has a more residential, suburban feel and is at least 10 degrees hotter than the rest of LA. It includes neighborhoods like Reseda, Studio City, Burbank and Woodland Hills. The East Side is more affordable and diverse and includes neighborhoods like Downtown, Echo Park, Los Feliz and Atwater Village. The West Side is expensive and much closer to the ocean. It includes neighborhoods like West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Santa Monica. The South Side is the most dangerous and the least convenient. It includes neighborhoods like Inglewood, Long Beach, El Segundo and South LA. The first step to finding a place in LA is narrowing down the neighborhoods you’re considering. As LA traffic is notably terrible, it’s a good idea to live close to work or other places you’ll be frequenting regularly. Culver City averages $1,950 for a one bedroom and is great for singles. Atwater Village averages $1,399 for a one bedroom, $2,400 for a two bedroom and is great for people with kids. Koreatown averages $1,450 for a one bedroom and is great if you like a city feel. Santa Monica averages $2,800 for a one bedroom and is great if you want to live near a beach and are comfortable having a roommate. Downtown averages $2,650 for a one bedroom and is great if you hate driving. Echo Park averages $1,160 for a one bedroom and is great if you like being outside. Silver Lake averages $1,880 for a one bedroom and is great if you consider yourself a hipster. Even if you don’t currently live in LA, you can check out available listings through one of the many sites that offer them. Pay $60.00 to sign up for West Side Rentals to receive instant e-mails regarding availabilities. Utilize sites like Craigslist and Rent.com every day. Padmapper.com allows you to search listings by zip code and city. Zillow.com lets you see prices by neighborhood, but is a better resource for those looking to buy property. There are many benefits to having a roommate: you split the costs of living, you have someone to hang out with and with two people looking, you double your chances of finding a great place to live. If you’re choosing to live with a roommate, make sure it’s someone you can get along with and who has a similar lifestyle to you. If you’re looking remotely, see if you have any friends in LA who are looking for a roommate. If not, chances are that someone you know who lives there knows someone who is looking. Ask around, post on social media, do whatever it takes to get the word out. Once you’ve narrowed your search down significantly, it’s time to see the places in person. Ideally, you would do this by planning a trip to see them yourself, but sometimes that’s not feasible. If this is the case for you, send a friend who already lives in LA to scope out the places on your behalf. Have your scout take notes and photos and send them to you for you to peruse. Have your scout give you insights, but know that the decision is still ultimately your own. If you don’t know anyone in LA, you will have to take a trip yourself. Try to pack as many neighborhoods and apartment tours into your trip as possible, in order to make the most informed decision. Once you have selected a new place to live, it’s time to make it official. If you can, sign the lease in person while visiting the city. If you can’t, have your future landlord or realty company e-mail you a copy of the lease. Sign it electronically and send it back. Read everything before signing. If you’re not sure what you’re reading, give it to a lawyer or friend to look over as well. Keep copies of everything. Print out and save a copy of your lease and any other important documents. Also save e-mails between you and the landlord, in case you should need to reference them later., Summary: Learn the layout. Learn the neighborhoods. Look online. Consider getting a roommate. See the place in person. Sign the lease. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: Get some natural sunlight every day, preferably in the morning. Exposure to natural light during waking hours helps balance your body’s circadian rhythms, leading to increased melatonin production at night. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that people of all skin tones wear 30 SPF sunscreen when in direct sun. Getting some sun exposure from a window is better than getting none at all, if you can’t get outside. Workers in offices with windows tend to produce more melatonin (and sleep better) at night than those who work in offices without windows. Dim or switch off LED lights in the evening. These light bulbs produce blue light, which suppresses your body’s natural melatonin production. Opt for traditional fluorescent bulbs, which produce blue light at a lower level, or blue-light free bulbs intended to maximize melatonin levels. Blue-light free bulbs can be purchased at several online retailers or your local hardware store. Dim the lights around your house in the hours before bed, creating a darker environment no later than 9:00 or 10:00 PM. The gradual darkness will help your melatonin levels rise naturally. You can purchase a dimmer to add to existing lamps at your local home-improvement store or online. Avoid using your tablet, phone, and computer in the hour or 2 before bed. These devices emit high levels of blue-light, which suppress your natural melatonin production. Your melatonin levels will rise when your eyes are not exposed to this kind of light before bed. You’ll probably sleep better, too. Put your devices in night mode, which emits less blue light, if you need to work in the evenings. Use blackout shades to make your bedroom very dark at night or try a sleep mask. Avoid using nightlights or leaving a bathroom light on, as these suppress your natural melatonin production. The darker your bedroom, the higher your natural melatonin surge will rise. Aid your body’s natural melatonin surge at night by installing a red light in your bathroom. Red-spectrum bulbs are less disturbing to melatonin levels than LED or even fluorescent light bulbs. By using one, any evening bathroom visits will be less likely to disrupt your sleep cycle., A: Gather the necessary materials. Store the removed parts in a safe place. | 0 |
The summary of "There are a variety of options you can toggle in the Performance section before launching your game. Disabling features may make the game run better, but they can also cause significant problems and stability issues. Games aren't designed to use the features, so the chances of encountering a problem are high. Remember, this will only be effective on games made in the early 2000s and earlier. Newer games will not benefit from this program, and will likely crash upon startup. Most Windows games will use the "DirectX 8.1 and 9.0 Options" section. Older games will use the "OpenGL Options" section. Select "disable textures" to turn off all textures in your game. Be prepared for a very ugly game, as textures are what give the 3D models details. Everything will appear flat when you force textures off. This will result in one of the biggest performance gains if it works with your game. If you want to use textures, but still want a performance increase, select "force small texture (32x32)". This will load basic textures, but they will be much smaller than normal. Dynamic lighting is a popular way to make games appear more realistic, but it can have a dramatic impact on your framerate. Disabling lighting can help you get a newer game running on an older system. Again, this will not work on all games. After adjusting a few settings, try playing the game by clicking the "RUN" button. If the game crashes or doesn't work like it should, go back to the Performance section in 3D Analyze and try some different settings.

Context: Women don't want to deal with your week-old BO. Man, YOU don't want to deal with your week-old BO. Take regular showers and use deodorant. It will surprise you how much of a difference this makes if you haven't been doing this already. It's not like you have to go around wearing Armani or anything, just wear clothes that fit, suit your body, don't have holes or stains, and don't look like they were the height of fashion in 1986. Don't worry so much about brands: a woman worth having won't care what brand of clothing you wear. Just make sure you're dressed such that she wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with you. Just like you love a woman who smells like a perfect princess fresh out of fairy land, women love it when men smell amazing too. You can do this by first keeping your body clean, and then adding a nice scent. This can be as simple as getting a really nice smelling deodorant. If you want to go a bit further, you can try cologne, aftershave or body sprays. Just make sure that the smell is subtle and that you put it on correctly. She doesn't want you to smell like you bathed in Axe. Women like men who keep themselves fit and well. Don't feel like you have to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, because she won't care so much whether you have a six-pack or not...just get yourself to a point where you're healthy and comfortable...say, walking up a large hill. This will make you feel better in your own skin and help attract women. It's not that they're vain or hung up on societal ideas about weight, it's more than not exercising shows that you don't really care about yourself enough to keep your body healthy (even if that's not true).

Passage: Acetaminophen and NSAIDs are both pain relievers that can help relieve the symptoms of your cold. Follow the dosage instructions on the packaging and don’t take more than the 24 hour dosage limit. While acetaminophen and NSAIDs won’t stop your cold, they can make it more manageable while you focus on recovering. Common NSAIDs you can take are ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen. Both DayQuil and NyQuil contain acetaminophen. Over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants can help clear up your throat and nose and alleviate your coughing. Always read the packaging for usage instructions and avoid mixing multiple medications or you could overdose. Never give antihistamines or decongestants to children under 5. Exercise caution before taking over-the-counter cold medicine if you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, or kidney issues. Always read the labels first, and consult your doctor before starting any new medicine. While the evidence is unclear, some studies suggest that vitamin C and echinacea can help lessen the severity of a cold. Since these supplements aren’t harmful, you may want to give them a try and see if they help stop or shorten your cold. Powdered vitamin C supplements like Emergen-C may also help shorten the duration of your cold. Read about potential interactions and side effects as printed on the label of the supplement before you start taking it. If you have any pre-exisiting medical conditions, talk to your doctor before starting a new vitamin or herbal treatment., Summary: Take acetaminophen or an NSAID if you have a sore throat, headache, or fever. Try an antihistamine or decongestant to help with coughing and congestion. Give vitamin C or echinacea supplements a try to shorten your cold. | 1 |
Passage: This is the stuff that is sandwiched between the pretty parts of your quilt. There may seem like a billion options to choose from (and there are), making the process fairly intimidating. But sticking to the basics now will ensure your success later. Mainly, you need to consider the loft and fiber of your fabric. Loft is a fancy term for how thick your batting is. A low loft means the batting is thin. A low-loft fabric is easier to work with, but will result in a thinner product. Fiber is what material your batting is made of. Polyester, 100% cotton, and a cotton/poly blend are your three most common options and none is necessarily better than the others. Wool and silk are also available, but they're a bit pricier. And a recent mover on the scene is bamboo, but that's just strange. Polyester - A cheap option that's better for hand-quilting if it's low-loft. It doesn't need to be quilted closely together, though it does tend to shift and the fibers can migrate to the edges of the quilt over time. Cotton - This is a good option for machine quilting. It should be quilted closely. It will shrink a bit, but it shouldn't pill. The 100% kind feels like flannel. Cotton blend (usually 80% cotton/20% polyester) - Probably the best option, if you had to pick. It's not super expensive and it doesn't shrink as much as the 100% kind. It's good on the machine, too. This should be the biggest part. The batting should be smaller than your quilt back and larger than your quilt top. The quilt top will be the smallest. Just so long as it’s a few inches bigger on all sides than your front, you’re fine. The reason a back needs to be bigger is because you’re usually quilting from the top of the quilt and the batting and backing can shift slightly underneath. The extra inches are your insurance policy that your back doesn’t suddenly become smaller than the front. Basting a very important step in the quilting process. It seems tedious, but doing it carefully will result in a professional-looking finished project. Basting is a way to temporarily hold the three layers together while you quilt. Iron the backing fabric and lay on the floor face down. Carefully pull the fabric taught (but don’t stretch it) and tape it to a hard, flat surface. Smooth the batting and lay your quilt top over the batting. Press both layers together to get all wrinkles out. Doing so also helps the quilt top adhere slightly to the batting. When top and batting are smooth and flat, carefully roll the two together. Bring the top and batting to the quilt back and carefully unroll on top of the backing, smoothing all wrinkles as you unroll. Make sure you can see backing fabric around all four edges of the quilt top. Here's where you have some options. That is, if you're machine quilting. You can always baste in the traditional sense or use spray baste, too. Pin quilt top every few inches starting at the center. Use basting pins -- they're curved and easier to manipulate. When pins are in place, remove the tape and check the quilt back to make sure things are tight and flat. If there are puckers or excess fabric, now is the time to fix the problems. If the fabric is loose when you start quilting, there will be tucks or puckers in the quilting. There is no way to adjust the back once you start sewing without a lot of headaches or time with the seam ripper. (However, using a busy, patterned fabric for the back will help to hide any small mistakes.) There are many options for machine quilting. The first is to let the seams/fabrics themselves be your guide. Sewing next to the seams themselves is called "quilting in the ditch." If you want to create more visual interest in the quilt you can stitch lines or patterns in other directions. It’s a good idea to start quilting from the center and work your way out. Because it’s hard for all that bulk to fit through your machine, roll the sides in. You can un-roll as you work toward the edges. You may want to use a walking foot when quilting. It’s not necessary, but it helps feed the layers of fabric evenly through the machine., Summary: Choose your batting. Cut out your backing. Assemble your layers. Keep them together. Start basting. | 1 |
Passage: Vitamin E oil can be an excellent natural moisturizer for treating dry skin. Try applying the oil at night once per week to see if it works for you. If the oil feels to heavy on its own, try mixing a few drops of it into your favorite moisturizer and applying the moisturizer as you normally would. If your skin tends to swell or burn easily in the sunlight, try applying vitamin E oil to your face in addition to sunscreen before you go out in the sun. If your skin is chronically inflamed, try using vitamin C and D supplements in addition to applying vitamin E topically. Vitamin E oil can also help lessen skin thickness, edema, and erythema. Applying vitamin E oil directly to darker patches of skin may help to make them less obvious. Apply the oil to the affected area only instead of doing a full-face application. Try to do this on a daily basis for 4-6 weeks to see if your dark spots respond to this treatment. Rub on some vitamin E oil 3-4 times per week before bed can help to keep your skin looking youthful and elastic. While vitamin E oil doesn’t remove wrinkles completely, it can help to keep your skin’s collagen intact and soften the look of fine lines. As an antioxidant, vitamin E is a huge help to the skin since it helps protect it from free radicals that cause premature aging., Summary: Soothe dry skin with a vitamin E oil treatment. Use vitamin E oil to prevent skin inflammation and UV light damage. Target dark spots with vitamin E oil. Prevent wrinkles and signs of aging with frequent vitamin E oil application. | 1 |
Passage: To make a fan fold, you will need a pressed square napkin, a flat surface to work on, and either a glass or plate. You can either place the finished fan fold on a dinner plate, or in an empty glass. You can use either cloth or paper napkins, though cloth will look more elegant and refined. Cloth napkins are also reusable so you can continue to use them for other special occasions. The bigger the napkin, the larger your fan will be. Smooth the napkin out by hand so there aren’t any wrinkles. The napkin should now be a rectangle. Orient the open half where the two edges meet towards you. Starting on one end, take approximately two inches of fabric and fold it in towards the center. You will continue folding the napkin like an accordion, taking two inches of fabric and folding it towards the center of the napkin. Stop folding when you have approximately four inches of unfolded napkin left. Now, fold the napkin in half horizontally bringing the two bottom edges of the fan together. Your fan should now be folded in half with the extra four inches of unfolded napkin hanging on the inside fold of the fan. If the unfolded napkin is on the outside of the fan, unfold the fan and refold it the opposite way. Take the unfolded corners that are part of the four inches of unfolded napkin section. Tuck the top corners unfolded napkin section into where the two halves of the fan meet. This will make a triangular edge along the unfolded section. Make sure to tuck it securely to make a sturdy base. Let the napkin fan out into a semi-circle. The base that you’ve created from folding the unfolded corners of the napkin will act as a base to keep your napkin fan standing. Be aware that this fan is delicate. The fan may fall and unfold if you try to move the dinner plate that it is resting on. You can use the same basic technique of the standing fold to create a fan that can be placed inside of a glass. Rather than leaving four unfolded inches, fold the entire napkin like an accordion. Now that the napkin is fully folded, take one end of the fan and fold approximately one inch over. Allow the fan to open up. Place the folded end of the fan into your glass and spread the rest of the fan out. This technique is called the goblet fan., Summary: Open Internet Explorer.

Q: Summarize the following: There will always be some people with dietary restrictions, so be prepared to provide vegetarian, gluten-free, and other variants as needed. It's a good idea to have asked guests in advance for advice concerning allergies. A cocktail reception will usually on have nibbles and finger foods but still have both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available. Decide how many courses you want for a sit-down dinner and be sure to check this against your budget. Sit-down dinners usually have menus printed up for them. Buffet style (help yourself) or serving at a table? There are also variants such as placing larger servings on the table for guests to help themselves from (family - or Russian service if the waiter holds the food), or plated (arrives at table already done), or French (waiters serve at the table), etc. Decide when it will be cut. Do you want guests to share the cake as part of dessert or to take a piece home instead? Perhaps both?

The answer of "Summarize the following Take the fabric and fold it over the sides of the headliner. Use a pair of scissors to cut off the excess fabric. Leave a little bit so you can wrap it over the edge and attach it so the material is more secure on the panel. Do another round of smoothing with your hands to get the material as flat and even as possible. Try to match the overlapping of the original headliner fabric, if possible. Spray the adhesive onto the edge of the panel and the 1 inch (2.5 cm) of fabric that’s left after you trimmed the material. Fold the fabric so it wraps over the side of the panel. Use your hands to smooth it out. Don’t pull or stretch the fabric or it can form air pockets between the fabric and the board. The folded bit of fabric will allow the material to stay better attached to the board. Use a utility knife or razor blade to trim the fabric covering the holes where the accessories, such as a light or a mirror, were inserted. Cut the fabric so it’s flush against the edge and there isn’t any excess material hanging over the side. Trim any of the holes in the headliner board that are used to insert accessories so you can install it properly. Turn the panel and rotate it so you can fit it back inside the vehicle with the fabric side facing out. Move any trim or accessories that may be in the way so you can replace the panel back to its original position. Be careful not to bend or scrape the headliner. Replace the visors, lights, trim panels, grab handles, and any other accessories that you removed in order to pull out the panel. Make sure the screws or bolts are tight and secure so the new headliner is held firmly. The new headliner will be held secure by the accessories and trim." is Cut the headliner fabric so it hangs 1 inch (2.5 cm) over the edge. Glue the edges to the other side of the panel. Remove the fabric covering the holes for the accessories. Insert the panel into the vehicle. Reinstall the trim and accessories. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Before you move in you should make sure that the landlord has provided you with documents that prove the safety of the property. The landlord is required to provide you with the following: A Gas Safety Certificate. Deposit paperwork that shows how your deposit is being protected. An Energy Performance Certificate. You cannot be evicted unless your landlord has provided you with these documents. The landlord should also provide with details of electrical inspections carried out in the last five years. When you move it’s important to take time to make an inventory of the property. Write down everything that is in there, and document the conditions when you move in. Take lots of photos and be sure to present this to your landlord and agree it. This can make things a lot easier if your landlord tries to withhold some or all of your deposit for cleaning or repairs that you are not responsible for. Keep a signed copy of the inventory yourself and give one to the landlord. A landlord may try to charge you for things like a small amount of dirt or mould that was there when you moved in. It’s important that you understand and keep to your obligations once you move in. Try to build a positive relationship with your landlord by being attentive and treating the property as you would if you owned it. As a tenant you must pay the rent on time, look after the property, be considerate to your neighbours, and not take in a lodger without permission. You should also to: Regularly test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Report any required repairs promptly. Ensure you know how appliances like the boiler work, and where fuse box and water stop cock are. You should also make yourself aware of the landlord’s obligations. The landlord must maintain the exterior of the property, as well as fitting smoke alarms on every floor and carbon monoxide alarms in rooms using solid fuel. The landlord must deal with problems with the water, electricity and gas supply, as well as arrange an annual gas safety check. The landlord must maintain appliances and furniture that was supplied with the property. She must also carry out most repairs required in the property. You must be given at least 24 hours notice before a visit from the landlord. The landlord should also get building insurance for damage from flood or fire." is Enjoy the pomegranate by itself.

Q: Summarize the following: One of the easiest ways to prevent the infection of skin is to practice good hand hygiene such as washing your hands frequently. Alternatively, you can use hand sanitizer when soap and water aren't available. Wash your hands frequently. After wetting hands and applying soap, rub hands together for at least 20 seconds (or the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice). Be sure to rinse thoroughly with warm water. Dry hands using a paper towel or air dryer. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water aren't accessible. After applying the sanitizer, rub hands together until they are dry. Be sure to apply product to all surfaces of the hand including in between fingers. In some public places, such as hospitals and nursing homes, there is often a sanitary station where you can keep your hands clean. These are usually foam-based sanitizers which sometimes have moisturizer in them, too. Utilize these stations when you can. Although washing hands often helps reduce skin infections, it can also lead to dry skin. Dry skin may result in cracks in the skin, which can allow bacteria to enter the cut. Use a moisturizing lotion often to prevent cracks and peeling of the skin. Avoid lotions that have a long list of ingredients including many perfumes and fragrances. Plain moisturizers such as petroleum jelly work best. As a rule of thumb, creamy moisturizers tend to have more preservatives so grease-based moisturizes tend to be more effective. Some germs can survive on surfaces anywhere from hours to days. By avoiding skin-to-skin contact with surfaces like locker room floors and doorknobs, you can decrease your chance of coming into contact with infectious germs. Clean or use a barrier (like gloves or napkins) when touching overly-exposed surfaces. Items like restroom doors, restaurants menus, and cell phones are full of bacteria. Avoiding direct contact with such items can reduce the spread of germs. Sanitize surface areas often by using household disinfectants or wipes such as Lysol. Even though people are taught from a young age that "sharing is caring," sharing personal hygiene items or items that come into contact with bodily fluids can often lead to the transmission of germs. Personal hygiene products always contain germs. Avoid sharing items like make-up, hair brushes, towels, and deodorant. Never share toothbrushes or razors. Sharing drinks and eating utensils easily spreads saliva which is a common host of germs., A: Add a picture to your page. Link to another page. Add a line break to your HTML. | 0 |
Context: One way to measure time management is to assess the time and employee spends on a project. However, you should only use those measures that can be collected automatically such as time cards or computer software. For most jobs, manual reporting, such as entering data into a timesheet, is neither reliable nor cost-effective. There are multiple software programs that can track what is being done on a computer. This way, you can investigate employees who are not meeting performance standards to see what they are having trouble with. If specific employees are falling far below the average, they can be singled-out and helped to meet the performance requirements. While feedback is important, daily monitoring is a two-edged sword that can be a morale buster. It also shifts performance responsibilities from management to a tool. It's better to use weekly or monthly measures. In addition, use bonuses instead of humiliation to encourage employees, and keep individual performance figures confidential. One manner of measuring performance is to make note of how an employee adheres to company policies. To monitor these lapses, try the following methods: Monitor punctuality issues. Employees who are habitually late are naturally missing minutes they could be working. What’s worse, they could be upsetting other employees. Check for dress code violations. An employee that is relaxed on their professional appearance is likely to exhibit the same approach to their actual work. Clarify usage of workplace items. Be sure employees know how and when they may use company items like a car, cell phone, or computer. Employees abusing company materials are not using time wisely., Summary: Sanitize surfaces in your kitchen. Store food in airtight containers. Caulk holes and cracks. | 0 |
Passage: Your doctor will do another STD test to confirm your positive results. They'll take a sterile sample to make sure it's properly tested. After the test, discuss your results with your doctor. You may be able to get free STD testing at your local health clinic or Planned Parenthood. If you have insurance, it may cover your STD test. If your results are positive, you'll need to treat your infection. Many STDs are completely curable, but diseases like HIV and herpes will need lifelong management. Talk to your doctor about the treatment you need, then take your medication as directed. You'll likely receive an oral medication, but you might also receive a cream. If you have questions about your treatment, talk to your doctor. Try not to panic if you have an STD. Treatment will help you recover or live a normal life. Sometimes an STD test can produce a false-negative result, so it's best to see your doctor if you're having symptoms. They'll do a different STD test under sterile circumstances to find out if you have an STD. This will help you get a more definitive result. Tell your doctor that you're concerned that you have an STD. Even if your results come back negative, you may have a different medical condition. If you're at risk for STDs, it's best to get tested often. At a minimum, take an STD test at least once a year to make sure you're healthy. If you notice symptoms, get tested sooner. You should also get tested regularly if you're sharing needles., Summary: See your doctor if your test results are positive. Get medical treatment from your doctor if you have an STD. Talk to your doctor if you have STD symptoms but test negative. Do an STD test annually if you're having sex with multiple partners. | 1 |

The summary of "In the section above, we mentioned that derivatives are just formulas that let us find the slope at any point for the equation you take the derivative for. In fact, if you represent an object's displacement with a line on a graph, the slope of the line at any given point is equal to the object's instantaneous velocity at that point. To graph an object's displacement, use the x axis to represent time and the y axis to represent displacement. Then, just plot points by plugging values for t into your displacement equation, getting s values for your answers, and marking the t,s (x,y) points on the graph. Note that the graph can extend below the x axis. If the line representing your object's motion drops below the x axis, this represents your object moving behind where it started. Generally, your graph won't extend behind the y axis - we don't often measure velocity for objects moving backward in time! To find a line's slope at a single point P, we use a trick called "taking a limit." Taking a limit involves taking two points (P, plus Q, a point near it) on the curved line and finding the slope of the line linking them over and over again as the distance between P and Q gets smaller. Let's say that our displacement line contains the points (1,3) and (4,7). In this case, if we want to find the slope at (1,3), we can set (1,3) = P and (4,7) = Q. The slope between P and Q is the difference in y-values for P and Q over the difference in x-values for P and Q. In other words, H = (yQ - yP)/(xQ - xP), where H is the slope between the two points. In our example, the slope between P and Q is:H = (yQ - yP)/(xQ - xP)H = (7 - 3)/(4 - 1)H = (4)/(3) = 1.33 Your goal here is to make the distance between P and Q smaller and smaller until it gets close to a single point. The smaller the distance between P and Q gets, the closer the slope of your tiny line segments will be to the slope at point P. Let's do this a few times for our example equation, using the points (2,4.8), (1.5,3.95), and (1.25,3.49) for Q and our original point of (1,3) for P:Q = (2,4.8): H = (4.8 - 3)/(2 - 1)H = (1.8)/(1) = 1.8Q = (1.5,3.95): H = (3.95 - 3)/(1.5 - 1)H = (.95)/(.5) = 1.9Q = (1.25,3.49): H = (3.49 - 3)/(1.25 - 1)H = (.49)/(.25) = 1.96 As Q gets closer and closer to P, H will get closer and closer to the slope at point P. Eventually, at an infinitely small interval, H will equal the slope at P. Because we aren't able to measure or calculate an infinitely small interval, we just estimate the slope at P once it's clear from the points we've tried. In our example, as we moved Q closer to P, we got values of 1.8, 1.9, and 1.96 for H. Since these numbers appear to be approaching 2, we can say that 2 is a good estimate for the slope at P. Remember that the slope at a given point on a line is equal to the derivative of the line's equation at that point. Since our line is showing our object's displacement over time and, as we saw in the section above, an object's instantaneous velocity is the derivative of its displacement at a given point, we can also say that 2 meters/second is a good estimate for the instantaneous velocity at t = 1." is Use a blender Combine liquids and solids in a mixer.

Q: Summarize the following: Communication between you and your spouse should be the top priority during and after the transition of living with your mother-in-law. The two of you need to be in accord and your spouse needs to be willing to maintain any limitations with his mom. If he or she falters in supporting your guidelines, you may end up continually at war with your MIL about this issue or that one. What’s more, you might also find yourself at war with your spouse. Presenting as a united front is incredibly important. For one, if your spouse doesn’t fully cooperate, your mother-in-law may not respect your decision and try to fight you on it. Seeing that the two of you are firm in your rules will minimize the chances of that. Working in accord also means that you should bring any problems to your spouse before discussing them with his or her mom. By doing this, you have a chance to vent your frustrations in a safe space. Then, the two of you can come up with an action plan as a couple. Your spouse may want to address any issues with mom alone or with you present. Respect his or her choice either way. Hold your tongue if your mother-in-law says or does something in defiance of your boundaries. You can easily say something in the moment that you later regret. Spouting off in anger can quickly result in creating a divide between you and your spouse because you were disrespectful with his mom. You might say “Honey, your mother criticized my parenting in front of the kids today. It really made me feel like we weren’t on the same team. Could you please talk with her about this when you get a chance?” Your mother-in-law living in the home can potentially eliminate the intimacy factor between you and your spouse. The time you and your spouse may have spent together watching TV after putting the kids to bed or after a long day’s work might be interrupted by her presence. It’s essential that the two of you cherish and protect your alone time, which will strengthen your bond despite the new household changes. Talk with your mother-in-law and explain your needs. You may be able to request that she babysit so that you two can go on a date. Or, you might simply let her know that on Fridays, you and your spouse enjoy lunch together, and you’d appreciate if you could keep it that way. Balance your demands by doing plenty of things as a whole family and also encourage your spouse to spend time with his or her mother, too. An example of how to approach this subject might be “Ms. April, we usually go to dinner on Fridays as a couple. We would like to continue this tradition. However, we would like to start going to brunch on Sundays as a family, and would love it if you joined us.” Whether it’s a weekly mani/pedi, morning run or workout session, or a blissful cup of coffee before the kids wake, be sure you are practicing regular self-care. Three generations of family members are a lot to care for. You may now be responsible for caring for your kids, your spouse, and your MIL. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so be sure to make time to care for you as well., A: Make it a team effort. Communicate any issues with your spouse first. Make the most of your couple time. Don’t sacrifice your own needs. | 1 |
Context: Measure out the clear glue, and place it directly into the bowl of slime. Use a spoon to mix it into the slime thoroughly, and once it starts to hold together, take the slime out and knead it. After 2-3 minutes, the slime should no longer be runny. If ¼ cup (60 ml) of clear glue isn’t enough to thicken the slime, add another ¼ cup (60 ml) of clear glue and stir the mixture again. It should change to a thicker consistency. If you have the time, leave the slime in a sealed bag overnight once you have added the clear glue. This will help it to gel together. Get the extra Borax, and place it into the bowl with the slime. Use a spoon to thoroughly stir it into the slime. Keep adding ¼ tbsp (0.43 g) of borax at a time until there is no excess liquid left', Summary: Use a blender Combine liquids and solids in a mixer.

Passage: Tell your friend how important they are to you, and that you miss them. While it may be tempting to get this talk over with as soon as possible, cutting corners could work against you. This is the opportunity to wear your heart on your sleeve. Again, avoid one-liners like, "Let's bury the hatchet" - such contrived phrases might put your friend on guard. Again, it's best if you approach the conversation without preconceived notions of how they're feeling or what they're going to say. Keep an open mind, and give them as long as they need to say whatever it is they need to. They may need a cue from you, like "I'm sure I made you feel pretty awful," or "I'd love to be friends again. Do you think that's possible?" Listen without interrupting, even if what they say triggers certain responses in you. You may have been ready to talk things through, but perhaps your friend wasn't quite. Both of you might need time to process what the other has said. You've made a big, important step initiating this talk - now step back a bit so your friend can consider. This is especially important to keep in mind if you don't receive a positive response at first. In a few weeks or months, your friend may still come around. It may be difficult to take a step back from your friendship, but it may be necessary for your friendship to heal., Summary: Learn the basic features of a seminar paper.

The answer of "Summarize the following Since the possibility of a goodbye kiss always beckons—and assuming it’s your desire—it’s best to start getting close sooner than later. Otherwise, you will find yourself saying your goodbyes with what feels like a chasm between you, making the swoop in for the kiss very conspicuous and awkward. Guys, this is when you get the dreaded last-minute-turn-and-kiss-on-the-cheek routine, which is second only to the phrase, “You remind me of my brother,” for most-deflating date ending. As you walk your date to the car, the door, etc., put your hand (or a jacket) on your date’s shoulder or back. This breaks the touch barrier, gently lets your date know your intentions, and gives you an excuse to stand very close all at the same time. If your date angles his or her body away from you or speeds up to create distance, don’t try to complete the goodnight kiss—and don’t let your ego make a fool of you. Simply flash a big smile, thank them for the lovely time, and go about your business. It could simply be that your date isn’t ready to kiss yet. . Making eye contact while standing close is a universally acknowledged indicator that a post-date kiss is about to take place. If the eye contact becomes too long, break and reestablish it as necessary; it’s better to let your eyes dart around than subject your date to an interrogation-style stare down. One good way to break eye contact while maintaining the romance is to glance down at your date’s lips It may feel awkward to make your desires so clear, just remember that by giving your date a heads-up, you will make the kiss go much more smoothly and improve the odds that it will turn into a glorious make out session. Trying to plant a kiss by surprise, on the other hand, may result in bumped noses and teeth, a startled pullback, and much awkwardness. When people get nervous, they often compensate by finding anything to talk about, killing the kissing opportunities. While you shouldn’t try to end the conversation abruptly, which might come across as trying to get over with your goodbyes, you shouldn’t encourage your date to ramble, either. Let the chatter die down by keeping your responses friendly but minimal. onsider breaking the kiss barrier. If everything is going well but you’re not quite ready to dive into full-blown romantic kissing, lean in for a hug and kiss the person on the cheek. Don’t confuse this with a friendly peck smack in the middle the cheek; make your feelings clear by placing the kiss close to the ear or mouth and letting your lips linger for a second, or whisper something flirty in their ear with lips touching. This will help the other person know that the kiss isn't meant in a platonic context. If this is a first kiss with this person—or, more importantly still, a first date—don’t overdo it. Keep your lips softly parted and either plant a straightforward kiss on your partner’s lips or up the ante by gently locking lips. Resist the temptation to kiss hard or with tongue, unless you've been chasing this person for quite some time. It might seem too forward and shut down future opportunities. Pay attention to how your date responds and moves during the kiss. If they lean closer or linger, you may be able to transition into more romantic kissing; otherwise, end the kiss by pulling slowly back, reopening your eyes to make eye contact, and smiling." is Get close. Watch your date’s reaction. Maintain eye contact Stop the conversation. . Keep it simple. Follow your date’s lead. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: Segmentation can allow you value each segment of your customer base. This is important, as 80 percent of your sales typically come from only 20 percent of your customers. Identify those groups that provide the highest volume of sales and quantify the total volumes for those groups. These are your high-value segments. You can then use this information to refocus your marketing efforts, prioritize service to this group, and adjust your offerings to more closely meet their needs. Understanding your most important segments can allow you to change your marketing efforts to reach those segments more directly. You can edit your advertising language and message to appeal more clearly to them. You can also change your advertisements for each product line to appeal to the corresponding segments that buy that product line. This allows for fewer wasted advertising dollars. Segmentation can help you see which customer groups are the most profitable for you. You can more easily see which groups go on to do the most business with you and buy the more expensive items or service packages. You can then compare this to the money you spend advertising to them or serving them to assess which are the most profitable. This information will allow you to reassess your customer prioritization and, by doing so, increase your profit margin. Once you know exactly who is buying each of your products or service, you can make changes to them to better appeal to these groups. These changes will make the product more useful and more appealing to the group in question. This, in turn, will give you an advantage over your competitors and may increase customer loyalty and satisfaction. You can also apply what you learn to your customer support and other products to create a whole customer experience tailored to a particular segment or segments., A: Value each segment. Focus your marketing efforts. Prioritize different segments. Improve your offerings. | 1 |

The summary of ". Choose an appropriate mulch to help reduce erosion and suppress weeds. Organic, wood-based mulch will also retain moisture. As it decomposes, it will improve the soil over time, but it needs to be replaced regularly. A stone or gravel mulch, on the other hand, does not need to be replaced, but can retain a good deal of heat in sunny areas, which can damage delicate plants. Whichever mulch you choose, apply it to a thickness of 2-4 inches (5–10 centimeters) around shrubs, trees, and flower beds. Do not put it in direct contact with plant stems. Avoid plastic mulch and other mulch that does not allow water and air to pass through. Develop a water thrifty drip irrigation system if necessary to minimize evaporation and run-off. If using a sprinkler system instead, use low volume emitters, preferably with a rain sensor that automatically switches the sprinkler off on rainy days If you're watering by hand or using a timed watering system, water deeply and infrequently to encourage the development of deep roots that can make use of water in the soil. Always water between 6pm and 10am, to minimize loss from evaporation. Slow-release fertilizers are less effort for the gardener, and reduce the chance of over-fertilization. If you apply fertilizer in too large a quantity, you might be encouraging tall, straggly growth that root development cannot keep up with, making the plant more resource-intensive. Use organic composts and topdressing mulches as well. Regular maintenance is a core value of xeriscaping plans. Check on your garden often, and you'll be able to address problems before they get out of hand. Here are some basic tips to keep your garden attractive and maximize its water use: Remove weeds by hand before they get established. Reduce water and fertilizer if your plants have weak, straggly growth. When mowing your lawn, remove no more than 1/3 of the grass height, and use a sharp mower blade." is Listen to your parents.

Q: Summarize the following: Tie or pin up the majority of your hair, and leave a small section of hair free. Once you detangle that section, start a new bun or ponytail to keep the detangled hair separate, and move on to a new section of tangled hair. On the first section of hair, start near the tips and run your fingers through your hair to remove knots and tangles. Combs can actually make knots tighter, so untangle what you can with your fingers first. As you detangle the bottom of that section of hair, move up the strands and continue removing knots until you reach the top of your hair. When you encounter particularly nasty knots, apply some watered down conditioner to the area. Let it sit for a couple minutes, then go back to detangling with your fingers. Once you’ve removed all the knots you can with your fingers and can easily run your fingers through the entire length of your hair, gently comb through the same section with a wide-tooth comb. Like before, start at the bottom and work your way to the top. Divide the section of hair into even smaller sections if you have trouble running the comb through. Add more conditioner as needed to help loosen knots. If you come across a knot that you can't loosen with your fingers or the comb, insert the needle of a safety pin into the center of the knot and move it around to loosen the knot. In case you come across a knot that you absolutely cannot remove with conditioner, your fingers, the comb, or the safety pin, you may have to trim it off. Use sharp barber scissors, and make sure you remove as much excess hair from the knot as you can before making any cuts. Try to work the knot down toward the tip of the hair as far as you can to minimize the amount of hair you have to trim., A: Work in small sections. Finger comb your hair. Apply water and conditioner as necessary. Repeat with a comb. Use a needle on tough knots. Trim the knot as a last resort. | 1 |
Passage: Get something nice, but don't go for overpowering scents. Stick with smells such as cedar, juniper, orange, sandalwood, tobacco, and birch. Odds are, the fewer the ingredients the better. Stay away from weird chemicals. If you can't pronounce it, you probably don't want it. You want something that will sterilize, something that is astringent (which means it will tighten your pores), and something that will moisturize. Razor burn lining a nice beard is a turn off, so aftershave is a good idea. Work it slowly into the rest of your beard with your fingers. A good beard oil will keep your whisker ends from becoming tiny razor wires and will condition them to continue growing strong. A good beard oil will also keep you from getting a blizzard of beard dandruff. There's nothing that will kill your vibe more than looking down and seeing your chest covered in a million white flakes. Good beard oil will also keep your beard and face from getting as oily. This doesn't mean use wax as a means of hair removal. Wax is especially helpful for men who want longer mustache hair, but don't want it to curl under their lip. A small bit of wax will keep that hair going in the right direction and add shape to longer, wilder beards. Buy beard wax at a local pharmacy and take a very small amount with your finger. Use it on your beard to get it to run in one direction more smoothly. Applying beard oil, using wax, using aftershave, and cleaning your face are activities that you should be doing multiple times a week, along with maintaining a healthy diet. If you want your beard to feel healthy and smell good you should make a habit of following these steps., Summary: Apply aftershave to freshly shaven areas. Apply a few drops of beard oil to the skin. Use wax. Establish a healthy routine. | 1 |
Context: You want both ends hanging down on your chest. Adjust the cravat so the right is slightly longer than the left. Bring the right side across the top of the left side. The left and right sides should now be back on their original side, but the right side is now wrapped around the left. Wrap the right side around the back, and then pull the right side up through the center of the neck band. Fold the fabric over the top of the neckband so it hangs down the front center of your chest. Tuck the extra fabric into the opening of your collared shirt. Follow the same procedure as for the casual cravat, but instead of tucking the excess fabric into your shirt, tuck it into your vest. If you like, use a cravat pin to keep the top layer of fabric in place. Take the fabric that you pulled up and over the neck band, and tuck it into the fabric loops that you created by wrapping the cravat. Adjust the knot and tuck the excess fabric into your shirt or vest., Summary: Approach her and lead into something appropriate. Pick a conversation starter. Work in compliments as conversation starters. Don't come on too strong. Keep talking to her around school. Don't put her on a pedestal. Close the deal. | 0 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Before you begin writing your book, you will need to have an idea. This is the seed from where your book grows. Coming up with the concept can, however, be difficult. Ideas will come when you open yourself to more experiences, so the best way to get an idea for a book is to go out and do things. Starting concepts can take many forms. You can have an idea for the general plot; you can have an image of an environment, an outline for the main character, or even smaller, less developed ideas. It does not matter how rough it is, any idea can turn into a magnificent book. Once you have a vague concept, start researching to get more ideas. For example, you want to write a book about kids playing a futuristic video game. Do some research by going to arcades, reading up on the latest game innovations, and playing some games yourself. In doing these activities, you may see or experience things which give you ideas for what the story can be about or could be included in a story. When coming up with and developing your concept, you will need to consider your audience. Whom are you writing this book for? Different people are into different things and there be particular sets of experiences and prior knowledge to go with the various demographics. You will need to consider this so you understand how to proceed with the plot, characters, and how the book is written. Try creating a false ad for your book. Include a summary, a cover idea, and the title. This will help you think of ways to make the book appealing. Don’t feel limited: there’s no reason a book about kids playing video games can’t be enjoyable for older people who have never played video games. However, if you intend to write a book that aims at people who have never experienced what you are writing about, you will need to do an outstanding job at describing the experiences of the characters and making the topic accessible." is Come up with an idea. Research your concept. Consider your audience. | 1 |
