Context: The ideal way to form a partnership is to draw up a partnership agreement at the start of the business arrangement. This agreement spells out the rights and responsibilities of the partners and contains provisions on how to resolve disagreements. Good partnership agreements contain dissolution strategies. Although the law does not require a partnership agreement, operating a partnership without an agreement can be highly risky. If there is a partnership agreement in place, locate that agreement as soon as possible. If you do have a partnership agreement in place, review the agreement for your rights and responsibilities and your options on how best to proceed. Sometimes partnership agreements provide details about dissolution procedures. In some cases, the partners may be required to take an official vote for the dissolution to become effective. Know the terms of your agreement regarding dissolution procedures. Once you have reviewed the provisions of the partnership agreement, consider whether dissolution is really necessary. Remember that you have other options as alternatives to dissolution. You might consider changing the weighting of the partnership. This would allow one partner to acquire more decision-making or financial control through a majority share. The partner with the minority share can remain a partner while giving up some control to the other partner. Consider whether doing so would resolve your disagreement. You can also sell your share or buy your partner’s share. This would allow for the business to continue while allowing the partner who wishes not to be attached to the partnership anymore to remove her name from the partnership. Consult an attorney if you choose this option so that your interests are protected during the buying or selling process., Summary: Locate your partnership agreement. Read your agreement. Consider alternatives to dissolution.

The answer of "Summarize the following Frizz is often caused by dryness, so it’s important to restore moisture to your hair in the shower. Always use a sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates are detergents that are great at cleaning hair, but can also strip your hair of the natural moisture it needs to remain frizz-free. If your hair is dry, sulfate in your shampoo may be the culprit. Don’t wash your hair every day. Wash your hair every other day, or only a couple times a week if you can get away with it. Even sulfate-free shampoos can be drying, so give your hair a rest and let it soak in your natural oils. Anything that removes dirt and grime from your hair is probably also removing its moisture, so use sparingly! Using dry shampoo between washes is a great way to keep your hair looking fresh without the damage of daily shampooing. Unlike shampoo, conditioner is moisturizing and will help tame your locks. Look for conditioners that are specifically marketed as moisturizing, especially those that contain glycerin. On days when you are skipping the shampoo, you can still use conditioner without worrying about damage. It will gently clean your hair, but also hydrate it. If you have the time, let the conditioner sit on your hair for a couple minutes so it fully soaks into the shaft. Choose a conditioner tailored for your hair type. If your hair tends to be oily and limp, avoid conditioners that boast qualities like "moisturizing" or "hydrating," because these will only exacerbate the oiliness and limpness. Shampoos with added protein tend to work well for oily hair, as well as conditioners meant for "volumizing," balancing," and "strengthening." If your hair is extremely oily, you may want to skip conditioner all together, or apply it before shampooing. If your hair is dry, damaged, and prone to break, look for moisturizing conditioners. You may want to also try conditioners that specifically repair hair after damage. Avoid conditioners that are described as "strengthening" or "volumizing." If you are worried about your hair looking limp and flat, avoid your roots and only apply it to the ends of your hair. By soaking your hair in a deep conditioner or oil overnight, you give it extra time to take in all the moisture. This may be especially helpful for African American and Latina hair that may be more coarse and dry, but it can benefit anyone who needs the extra moisture. Comb the product through dry or wet hair and then put on a shower cap before bed. There are a lot of ways to give your hair a boost of moisture, such as doing a weekly hair mask. You can buy moisturizing hair masks from the drugstore or spend a little more on a product from a salon. Again, look for one that contains glycerin, which will hydrate the hair shaft from the inside. You can also skip the store and make your own hair mask at home. Coconut oil is a perfect one-ingredient moisturizer. Eggs, milk, and honey also have nourishing, restorative properties." is Wash with a moisturizing shampoo. Condition regularly. Try a mask or overnight conditioner for very dry hair. Give your hair some extra TLC.

Context: Pretty much everyone gets nervous about presenting, even when it isn't in front of a bunch of people. That's okay. All you have to do is mask the fact that you're nervous, since you won't be able to avoid the jitters themselves. Before the presentation, clench and unclench your hands several times to deal with the adrenaline and then take 3 deep, slow breaths. Call up a smile, even if you feel like hurling. You can trick your brain into thinking that you're less anxious than you actually are and you'll also be able to hide your nervousness from your audience. One way to make your presentation memorable and interesting is to interact with your audience. Don't act like there's a wall between you and your audience, engage them in the material. Talk directly to them, not at them or at the back wall, but to your audience. Make eye contact with your audience. Don't stare at one particular person, but section up the room and make eye contact with someone in each section on a rotational basis. Ask questions of your audience and take questions during your presentation. This will make it more of a conversation and therefore more interesting. Tell an amusing anecdote to illustrate your point. From the above examples about 17th century alchemy, you could find an amusing alchemical anecdote from the time period, or you could talk about your own forays into alchemy. Giving an engaging performance isn't the exact same thing as engaging your audience (although, hopefully, your performance will engage your audience). It simply means that you make the performance itself interesting and dynamic. Move around, but make your movements deliberate. Don't nervously shift your feet (in fact, it's a good idea to imagine that your feet are nailed to the floor except for those times you deliberately choose to move). Use your vocal inflections to create a more dynamic presentation. Vary your voice as you're talking. Nobody (ever) wants to sit there and listen to someone drone on and on in dull monotone, no matter how interesting the material (think Professor Binns from Harry Potter; that's what you don't want). Try to create a balance between rehearsed and spontaneous. Spontaneous, on the spot, movement and asides can be great as long as you are really comfortable, otherwise they can sidetrack your presentation and make it rambling. Mess around with spontaneous and rehearsed when you're practicing and you'll get a feel for it. To get your audience's interest you'll need to connect them with the material on an emotional level and the best way to do that is to think of your presentation like a story you're telling. Quickly introduce your topic and don't assume that your audience is familiar with all the terms, especially if your topic is one that isn't widely known. Figuring out why you want (or have to) give this presentation will help you work with an overarching story/theme. Maybe you want to pass the class. Maybe you're convincing people to give you money or join you in a philanthropic endeavor or act for a social or political reason. Channel that desire into your presentation. You're answering the question of why they would want to pass you or why they would want to fund you. That's the story you're telling. One of the most frequent things that people do to sabotage their own presentation is talking way too quickly and so many people make this mistake. They get nervous and they whip through their presentation, leaving the audience gasping at the tidal wave of information. Don't do this. Have water with you and take a sip when you feel you're going too fast. If you have a friend in the class or meeting, arrange with them beforehand that they will let you know with a signal whether you're talking too quickly. Look over their way occasionally and check your progress. If you find that you're running out of time and you haven't finished, simply drop or summarize your leftover material. Acknowledge the leftover material as something that can be discussed later or in the Q&A. The beginning and the closing of a presentation are the parts that people tend to remember, so you want to make sure that you end with a punch to the gut (figuratively speaking; don't hit your audience). You'll need to reiterate those 3 most important points and make sure the listener knows why they should care about your topic. Make it clear what the listeners now know and why it is important that they have this new information. Conclude with examples or stories about your main point and take home message. You might want a slide which summarizes your presentation. For example, you might conclude with a story about the nature of alchemy in the modern era (perhaps in a film) to show its malleable nature., Summary: Deal with the jitters. Engage the audience. Give an engaging performance. Treat your presentation as a story. Talk more slowly. Have a killer closing.

Passage: Find a used can or jar, and fill it about halfway with apple cider vinegar. Mix in a drop of dish soap to break the surface tension, which will help prevent trapped gnats from escaping. Leave the jar in an area you've seen gnats buzzing about, such as your kitchen or dining room. After you fill your can or jar, you could seal the lid and poke small holes in it with a nail or screw. That way, any gnats that don’t drown in the vinegar can’t escape. You could also cut a 2 liter (0.53 US gal) plastic bottle in half, and add vinegar to the bottom half. Place the top, or the part with the narrow nozzle, upside down into the base. It should look like a funnel when you're done. Gnats will follow the vinegar scent to find their way into the trap, but they'll have a hard time getting out through bottle's narrow top. If you don't have apple cider vinegar on hand, any type of vinegar will do. Other effective baits include beer or mashed banana. Fill a small cup about halfway with red wine, then mix in a drop of a dish soap. Leave the cup out on your table or countertop to attract pesky gnats. The next time you have friends over for drinks, pour an extra cup of wine with dish soap to keep gnats away from your guests’ glasses. Just make sure you clearly mark the cup that has dish soap to avoid confusion. Traps can help you monitor an infestation and decrease the number of adult gnats in your home. However, on their own, traps aren’t an effective way to manage an infestation. In order to eliminate gnats completely, you’ll need to combat all stages of their life cycle. Traps only kill adult gnats; they do nothing to fight eggs or larvae., Summary: Know what the Multiple Listing Service system is. Pay a company to list for you. Stay local. Check out the packages.

Q: Summarize the following: If your cat has started going to the bathroom on a rug or other place on the ground in your house, place a litter box over that spot to encourage her to use the box instead. After she has used the box for one month, move it an inch per day until it is back where you want it to be. Cats like to use dark spaces to go to the bathroom, so a closet might be very appealing to your cat. If your cat has started urinating on the floor of a dark space, keep the light turned on or consider a motion light to discourage your cat from urinating in that space. Cats may develop a preference for a certain type of surface and begin using it as a bathroom. Turning over rugs and carpet runners may discourage your cat by changing the texture of the surface. Try flipping over your rugs and carpets for a few days to see if that stops your cat from urinating on them. Sticky tape can discourage a cat from urinating on a piece of furniture because the sensation of the tape on their paws is unpleasant. Try applying double sided sticky tape to the edges of furniture as well as over the spot where your cat likes to urinate. Cleaning up accidents right after they happen will also help deter your cat from using the same spot again. Use an enzymatic cleaner rather than an ammonia based one. Ammonia-based cleaners may cause your cat to urinate more often on the spot because she may interpret the ammonia as another cat’s urine that she must cover up with her own urine. If you have a long haired cat, she may have an aversion to the litter box because she feels dirty after using it. Keeping your cat’s hair trimmed may help her to use the litter box. You may also need to bathe her to make sure that she does not smell like urine or feces. If you are uncomfortable with bathing your cat, look for an experienced cat groomer in your area. Negative associations with the litter box may be improved by doing things like playing with your cat around the litter box. Try playing with your cat a few feet away from her box a few times per day to help generate more positive feelings about the litter box. Do not try to reward your cat for using the litter box by giving her treats. Cats don’t like to be disturbed while they use the litter box. You can leave treats and toys near your cat’s litter box, but do not keep your cat’s food and water dish next to her box. Cats don’t like to eat too close to where they use the bathroom. Encouraging your cat to use the litter box takes time and effort, but it may not always be successful. Some veterinarians undergo special training to help people deal with problems such as urinating outside of the box. If your cat does not improve over time, consider speaking to a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist or a board-certified veterinary behaviorist., A: Anticipate your parents’ objections. Brainstorm your answers to their objections. Create an outline of your argument. Revise your outline into speaking notes or a written-out speech. Practice your presentation.

The summary of "Poke the skewer through the longest part of the mushroom. For example, if the mushroom is short and wide, thread the skewer width-ways through the mushroom. Alternatively, if the mushroom round, or long and skinny, thread the skewer length-ways through the mushroom. Leave a gap between each mushroom to help them cook evenly. This recipe works with any type of mushrooms; however, button mushrooms tend to stay on the kebab skewers best. If you don’t have metal skewers use wooden skewers instead. Make sure to soak the skewers in water for 20 minutes before threading the mushrooms onto the kebabs. Buy skewers from a cooking store or a supermarket. Use a pair of metal tongs to gently turn each kebab over. This helps to brown both sides of the kebabs and ensures that the middle of the mushrooms cook evenly. If the mushrooms haven’t browned, leave them on the grill for another 2 minutes. Mushrooms taste best when they are fresh off the grill, as they tend to go soggy once they cool down. Enjoy the mushrooms by themselves, or serve them with a salad, meat, or vegetables." is Keep clematis well watered. Provide a support for the clematis. Fertilize the clematis.

Q: Summarize the following: Remove all of the birds and feed from the poultry house, and either sweep or blow dust from all fixtures onto the floor. Remove all of this litter with a wet-dry vacuum, and then soak all surfaces with a low pressure sprayer. Then wash every part of the building with a natural detergent and warm water. Rinse away all of the detergent, and then air-dry the building. While you are cleaning, put the birds either outside in an enclosure or in cages. Disinfectants can be purchased from farm supply stores, and these are usually made from phenolic or chlorine compounds. Disinfectants are applied using aerosols, fumigation, or a garden sprayer. Always follow the safety and manufacturer’s instructions for the correct dilution and application of disinfectants. Load the birds into cages or crates that are fit for transportation. The size guidelines for travel crates and cages for chickens are 8 inches (20 cm) wide, by 12 inches (30 cm) deep, and 10 inches (25 cm) tall per bird. Only transport healthy birds, as those that are sick or stressed are not suitable for travel. Crates need to be well-ventilated, upright, and have enough room for the birds to stand. Poultry cannot survive for longer than 8 hours without food or water. Check on the birds regularly throughout the journey to monitor them. Advertise your products, create a website, or sell your products at a local farmers market. Aim to make a connection with people, and look for gaps in the market. For example, perhaps free-range, organic eggs are difficult to come by in your area, which provides a good opportunity for you. Generally the better your marketing, the more likely your poultry farm is to be successful. Advertising can be done through signs, billboards, flyers, vehicle signage, notices up in your community, or adverts in a local paper. You will need to keep production/technical records, as well as financial records. Some registers that must be included are wages for employees, building maintenance, equipment, feed, medicines, batches, and chick turn out and disposal. Where applicable, all quantities, rates, units, invoices, and receipts need to be recorded. An accountant will be able to help you with your financial records., A: Clean the poultry house at least every spring to prevent disease. Disinfect the poultry house after every cleaning. Transport your birds safely to and from sale-yards and processing plants. Market your poultry farm to increase profit. Keep detailed records for all aspects of your poultry farm.

Context: The best time to propagate a succulent is when the plant develops a long, woody stem at the bottom. This often occurs because the plant isn't getting enough light, so it grows taller and the leaves begin to space out to reach more light. A succulent with a long stem is called a leggy plant. Take leaves from the bottom of the plant, and leave the younger and smaller growth near the top. Your propagation attempt will have a better chance of succeeding if you start with healthy mother leaves. To find healthy leaves to propagate, look for succulent leaves that: Are uniformly colored with no discoloration Aren't ripped or torn Don’t have any spots or marks Are full and plump looking The best way to remove a leaf for propagation is to gently remove it with your fingers. Grab a healthy leaf with your thumb and forefinger. Hold the leaf firmly but gently near the base, where it attaches to the stem. Twist it back and forth slightly, and delicately wiggle it back and forth until it comes off. Hold the leaf by the base to prevent breakage. The entire base of the leaf must come off the stem, otherwise it will die. After you remove the leaves from the stem, lay them out on a towel or parchment-lined baking sheet. Place them somewhere warm in indirect sunlight to dry. Leave them for three to seven days, until the wound heals and a callous or scab forms where the leaf was removed from the stem. If you place the cut leaves in soil before the wounds heal, they will rot and die before they grow into new plants., Summary: Give your horse time with other horses to provide socialization. Add oral toys to your horse's stall to keep it entertained indoors. Allow outside foraging to decrease boredom. Encourage foraging behavior by hiding hay around the horse's paddock.

The summary of "This keyboard command shows the desktop. Make sure that the desktop is selected. If you have other programs open, this key combination will close whichever window is active. ." is Set limits regarding time and emotional space. Have realistic expectations regarding a fake friend's behavior. Monitor the nature of the friendship over time. Make sure you care for your own emotional needs.

Q: Summarize the following: Rather than try to simply include the emotion in your poem, challenge yourself to avoid naming the emotion in your writing. Instead, try to describe the emotion using sensory detail, such as how the emotion might smell, taste, sound, feel, or look like. You can also use concrete images to describe the emotion so you can communicate your feelings about the emotion to your reader. Ask yourself, “If the emotion were a color, what color would it be?” and “What does the color smell like? Taste like? Sound like? Feel like? Look like?” For example, if you were writing about anger, you may write: “Anger is red. It smells like burnt toast. It tastes like dry mouth. It sounds like a siren. It feels like a slap in the face. It looks like a cluster of red ants.” Focus on a specific experience or moment where you felt the emotion and write about it in your poem. Think about an experience where you were overcome by this particular moment or an event that caused you to feel the emotion. For example, if you are writing about grief, you may focus on the experience of sitting at the deathbed of a loved one. You may describe the experience with sensory detail and concrete images to communicate the emotion you felt during the experience. To make your poem stronger, you should use literary devices throughout. Literary devices like metaphor and simile will make your writing more succinct and unique. They also allow you to create images that linger in the reader’s mind and help to get the experience of the emotion across to your reader. A simile uses “like” or “as” to compare one thing to another. For example, “My anger is like a pot bubbling over on the stove.” A metaphor compares one thing to another without using “like” or “as.” For example, “My anger is a hive of bees in the backyard.” You can also write an emotional poem by personifying the emotion on the page. To personify an emotion, ask yourself, “If this emotion were a person, what would it do?” This way, you can use strong active verbs to describe the emotion and give it life on the page. You may try making a list of verbs that you think relate to the emotion or speak to how the emotion might express itself. For example, if you were writing about anger, you may write down verbs like “screams, flumes, explodes, yells, shouts.” You may personify anger by writing: “Anger flumes at other. Anger screams when it doesn’t get its way. Anger explodes at the first sign of weakness.”, A: Use sensory detail and concrete images to describe the emotion. Write about the emotion using a particular experience. Use literary devices. Personify the emotion.

Q: Summarize the following: Start by pulling any hair back away from your face. You can do this with a band, clip, or hair tie. Wet your face with lukewarm water. With your fingertips, apply your cleanser to your face in gentle, circular motions. Do this for about a minute. Rinse the cleanser with lukewarm water. Pat dry using a clean, cotton towel. Essential oils can be very helpful for treating hard pimples. Many essential oils are either antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, or antiseptic. This means they can kill bacteria that lead to pimples. These oils may also aid in preventing new pimples and help to dissolve the oil that clogs up the pores. Try spearmint, peppermint, calendula, lavender, or tea tree oil. Prepare the water by boiling it. Fill a pot with one quart of water. Place it on the stove over heat until it boils. Add one or two drops of the essential oil you have chosen. Boil for an additional minute. Remove the boiling water from the heat. You can transfer the water to a bowl and carry it to a comfortable place where you can sit for the steam treatment. If you don’t have the essential oils, you can substitute ½ teaspoon of dried herb per quart of water. Now you will begin the steam treatment. Place a large towel over your head. Lean your head over the steaming pot so that your face is about 12 inches above the water. Close your eyes and relax. Stay over the steam for 10 minutes. The steam treatment helps open your pores and draw out impurities. Keep the towel over your head to keep the steam trapped so you get the most benefits. After you are finished with the steam treatment, rinse your face with lukewarm water. Then, gently pat your face dry. Make sure not to rub your skin since this can cause irritation. After drying your face, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer. You can find non-comedogenic moisturizers at your local superstore. You may find them in store brands, but you can also check out Olay, Neutrogena, and Clinique. Sometimes, you get hard pimples on other places than your face. If the problem area is not on your face, steam your body in the shower. Put one of the essential oils in a bowl of boiling water near the shower. To turn your bathroom into a steam shower, use towels to cover or block every crack so the steam doesn’t escape. Turn the water onto the hottest setting and let it run. Do not get in the shower, though. You do not want to burn your skin. Take off your clothes and sit on some towels somewhere comfortable. Only stay in the bathroom steam room for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the water when you are finished. If you feel dizzy at any point, turn off the water and drink some water. After 15 or 20 minutes, take a cool shower to lower your body temperature. Make sure to drink at least one glass of water afterwards so you don’t get dehydrated., A: Chill the seeds. Plant outdoors in the spring. Alternatively, plant them indoors early. Place the seed in a fairly shallow hole. Protect the seed from animals.

The summary of "Keep a journal where you write down how much time you spend on every activity in your daily life. If you keep track of your time for a full week, you can pinpoint activities that dominate your daily routine. Once you’ve determined what types of activities you typically spend time on, sort them into larger categories. For example, you can have categories for academic, recreational, work, or social activities. Once you’ve sorted your activities into groups you need to determine what categories need to take priority in your life. Managing time is all about balance, so dedicate more time in your life for activities that are most important for achieving your goals. If you need to work to pay your rent and want to maintain a high GPA, you should prioritize spending more time on these sorts of activities." is Monitor how you spend your time for a week.

Q: Summarize the following: An electrical pencil sharpener will create a pencil that makes a very neat line. Push the pencil into the hole in the sharpener. The sharpener will make a whirring sound as it sharpens the pencil. A downside of electric pencil sharpeners can be irregular sharpening. However, they are the easiest to use. Choose a pencil that is worth sharpening. The pencil’s lead (the graphite core) should not be off-center or it will be hard to shape into the normal conical point shape. Make sure the pencil is not bowed. Use an old rag in order to wipe the residue off the pencil after you sharpen it., A: Try using an electric pencil sharpener.

The summary of "If your windows are drafty or thin, save on your heating and cooling costs by lining the curtains with a thermal fabric. The insulation will keep heat in your room during the winter while keeping out drafts from the window. It will also keep cool air from escaping during the summer months. Most thermal liners are made from cotton, polyester, or a blend. Blackout lining is made from a thick, stiff fabric that will completely block light from passing through to your curtains. It's a good choice if you want privacy or want to block light in a room that gets lots of direct sunlight. Blackout curtains will also protect furniture and rugs from fading. Consider the window that the curtains will hang in front of. If the window frequently has condensation, you should line the curtains with a water repellent or resistant lining. The liner will block the moisture before it has a chance to soak into your curtains and damage the fabric. Try using water repellent or resistant lining on kitchen or bathroom curtains since these are high humidity rooms. If you aren't concerned about blocking light or insulating a room, use a standard cotton liner. The weight of the liner can help weigh down light curtains so they hang better. The liner will also protect sheer curtains from sun damage. Check the materials of the plain lining since some may be made with polyester and cotton. The polyester will prevent the cotton from shrinking, if you'd need to wash the lining." is Select a thermal liner if you'd like to insulate your windows. Buy blackout liners if you want to darken the room. Select water repellent or resistant lining. Pick a plain cotton lining to add weight to thin curtains.

Passage: It is important to give your cat a good diet in order to keep him or her as healthy as possible despite the FIV. Ask your veterinarian about good, quality brands of cat food. Dry kibble is the best food you can feed your cat, as wet food has a tendency to build up on teeth, causing tartar buildup that can lead to infections. Your primary goal should be to do everything you can to keep your cat infection-free because FIV causes it to be very susceptible to infections. Vets often recommend life-stage diets from Hills, Purina, and Royal Canin. These diets provide for the specific nutritional needs of young animals (under 12 months of age), adults (classed as 1 – 7 years), and senior animals (over the age of 7 years). Matching the life-stage diet to the age of your cat can promote longevity., Summary: Locate the Reset button on the front or back of your cable box. Hold the button down until the box’s display or lights turn off. Allow the cable box 5-10 minutes to fully reset.

The answer of "Summarize the following Evidence shows that attractive women often gravitate toward less attractive men with wealth and status. You should make your accomplishments obvious. Studies have shown, for example, that women find men considerably more attractive when they are driving a fancy car. The “halo effect” suggests that attractive people are considered better in all areas of their life. However, it also seems to work the other way. That is, if you exhibit positive personality traits, like kindness, people will be more likely to see you as attractive. Try volunteering for non-profits or pursuing a career that helps people. If you have trouble committing the time to those things, just aim to be nice in your daily life. Hold doors open for people, help people with bags, or show people how to get around when they are lost. Women are more likely to find men attractive when they open up to them and appear vulnerable. When you are open about your feelings women will feel closer to you, making you more attractive both emotionally and sexually. Men are often initially regarded as a threatening. To put women at ease you should take a cautious stance: speaking and moving slowly, using small gestures, and leaning away. Once she suggests that she is at ease by leaning in, making eye contact, and smiling, you can change your posture. Act more energetic, speak faster, make broad gestures, and lean forward. Women are attracted to leaders, particularly when men are in charge of a group that they are part of. Not everyone can be the CEO of a corporation. But if you have a leadership role in a club, campus organization, or political group, women will be more likely to see you as a leader. Humor is a sign of intelligence and social skill. Women look to men who are funny as both people of status and someone whose company they will enjoy. Cultivating a sense of humor is important to establish relationships. Pay attention to comedians you enjoy, think about what makes them funny, and consider whether you can imitate their style. Read and watch TV to stay informed so that you have things that you can make jokes about. Work on some funny stories that you can tell people you meet. Playing hard to get works; women find men more desirable if they think that they’re unobtainable. They also, however, enjoy knowing that someone likes them. The way you make the best of these two facts is to make it seem like you are generally difficult to get, but that you are super into whoever you are with. When a woman is excited around you, she will transfer those feelings to you, even if you are not actually responsible. Take her to a scary movie or a roller coaster; try something new with her like zip lining. Just being with her when these things happen will build positive associations and make you seem exciting. Because of evolution, many women still have a primitive desire for men who can live the hunter-gather lifestyle. Learn how to fish, hunt, chop wood, start fires, or swim in the wild. These sort of traits make you seem more brawny, and, in a way, like a capable provider." is Excel in life. Be kind. Express your feelings. Take it slow. Lead. Make her laugh. Be interested, but only in her. Excite her. Live an outdoorsy lifestyle.

Context: Familiarize yourself with your company's dress code and dress for your banking job based on those guidelines. The dress code will give you a good understanding of how you're expected to look and ensure that your wardrobe meets banking and company standards. The dress code will make you aware of the minimum requirements of the job. You should also observe your peers and verify that you are dressing in a way consistent with the local norms. Ask about casual days within the company or bank branch. On casual days it's often appropriate to wear clothes that would otherwise be considered too casual for the banking industry. Casual Fridays are not as common as they once were, but they do exist even in high-level investment banks. Barclays has instituted a policy whereby jeans and t-shirts are acceptable on Fridays. Jeans and t-shirts, however, are generally considered too casual even for a casual Friday. Dress for bank employment by starting with comfortable shoes. You'll be on your feet a lot, so choose shoes that can have inserts placed in them to absorb shock and cushion your feet. Stick to closed-toed, low-heel dress shoes. You should dress for a bank job neatly, cleanly and conservatively. Iron out any wrinkles, tuck in your shirt and don't wear anything stained or ripped. A client or customer that sees these details will change their opinion about you and your bank for the worse. Mend or replace these items so they don't make you look sloppy or unprofessional. To look professional at your bank job, eliminate any body modifications like piercings or tattoos from your client's line of sight. Keep ear piercings tasteful or small, remove facial and tongue piercings and cover tattoos with pants or long sleeves while you're at work. Check shirts and sweaters to ensure that they cover your stomach and midriff without exposing too much cleavage. Be sure that your skirts are an appropriate length for the workplace by not wearing any that don't at least reach your fingertips when your hands are down at your sides. Anything shorter, or with a slit that goes higher, isn't appropriate for work attire. Most of the details of your attire should vary little from what you wore during your interview. If you are employed as a teller though, you might not be expected to wear a suit jacket once you start on the job. Observe what others in your position wear. For any higher ranking position, assume that you should wear a suit jacket and that your attire should vary little from what you wore during your interview., Summary: Add a tablespoon (14.78 ml) of baking soda to a sandwich bag. Pour in a tablespoon (14.8 ml) of dish detergent. Add ¼ cup (59.14 ml) of vinegar to the sandwich bag. Seal the bag immediately. Place the bag down and watch the explosion.

Passage: You may find solace in venting your frustrations with someone, yet be aware that this can be a thin line. When you share intimate details about your life and your relationship with another person, you’re allowing him or her to see your unmet needs, and in a way asking, “Can you meet this need for me in a way this person cannot?” Keep discussions about your relationship to a minimum, and don’t discuss your relationship with someone you feel attraction toward. Be careful with whom you share information regarding your partner and your relationship. Be respectful of your partner even when you’re venting, and also be respectful of the relationship you are in. If you notice yourself experiencing an emotional high when you talk to someone, or can’t wait to talk to this person for the relief that follows your interactions, stop. This can lead to inappropriate relationships. Start to notice the high you feel after talking to someone, anticipating discussions, and saying things that you would not say to your partner. If you find yourself longing for this kind of friendship while in a relationship, ask yourself, “Is there something missing in my current relationship?” Once you start making excuses for yourself and your behavior, it’s time to consider what boundaries you may be approaching or crossing. If you find yourself saying, “She’s just a friend” and justifying things to yourself or your partner, this can be a red flag. After all, you shouldn’t have to justify your friendships to yourself or anyone else. If you find yourself making excuses for your actions, creating half-truths to yourself or someone else, it’s time to reconsider what’s going on., Summary: Understand whether you're eligible to file a judgment lien.

The answer of "Summarize the following If you feel that weight loss will help aid in toning your arms and helping them get smaller, you will need to watch calories or portion sizes of foods to help you reach your goal. Losing weight will require eating a little less or watching your total calorie intake each day. Safe weight loss is considered 1-2 pounds per week. You'll need to cut out or burn off about 500 calories a day to reach this goal. To cut back on portions, try using smaller plates, bowls or serving utensils. You may also find it handy to purchase measuring cups or a food scale to help make sure your portions are accurate. Healthy weight loss depends on a well-balanced diet. Including all five food groups into most of your meals throughout the week is a key component of a healthy and well-balanced diet. Consume lean protein at each meal and snack. One serving of lean protein (like poultry, pork, seafood, dairy or tofu) is about 3-4 ounces or 1/2 cup. Include a 5-9 servings of a variety of fruits and vegetables. One serving of fruit is 1/2 cup or 1 small piece of fruit and one serving of vegetables is 1 cup or 2 cups of leafy green vegetables. Also try to consume whole grains when choosing a grain food in your diet. All grains can be part of a healthy diet, but whole grains provide more nutrients than refined grains. Include 2-3 1 ounce or 1/2 cup portions each day. Snacks can be a part of a healthy diet, but should be monitored - especially when your goal is weight loss. Snacks should be between 100-150 calories per snack if your ultimate goal is weight loss. Snack only if you need to. For example, it's before a workout or you're starving and your next meal isn't for another 3 hours. Examples of healthy snacks include: 1/4 cup of nuts, 1 ounce whole grain crackers and peanut butter or 1/2 cup cottage cheese and fruit. Fluids are important for a healthy diet, weight loss and exercise. Being dehydrated can lead to weight gain and impede athletic performance. Everyone's fluid needs are different, but a good rule of thumb to follow is 64 oz or 8 glasses of water daily. Ideally you shouldn't feel thirsty throughout the day and your urine should be clear by late afternoon or evening." is Watch calories or portions. Eat a well-balanced diet. Choose healthy snacks. Drink adequate water.

Q: Summarize the following: Thoroughly explain what it is you hope to get and why you hope to get it. Depending on the nature of the subject, you can ask your parents to hear your entire argument before responding. If they agree, then you can lay out your goal, present your evidence, anticipate their counter points or concerns, and then conclude. Hopefully, your parents will hear you out until you are finished. If not, you'll need to be able to present your points in the form of a conversation. Make your point. Hear their counterpoint and then rebut. Don't lose your cool. Don't resort to condescension or screaming. Don’t just take from your parents. Give back. Since you are asking a favor of them, it would be nice, if you offered something in return. Your parents want to see you be happy, but they also have to get other things done. The strongest strategy for bargaining with your parents is offering to do chores. If you want to borrow the car over the weekend, offer to do chores at home or around town. Make your request worth more to them than just making you happy. If they feel like they are making you happy and getting something else out of it, they’ll be more likely to acquiesce to your request. “Don’t answer yet.” “Just think about it. No rush. Get back to me when it is convenient.” No one likes being put on the spot, especially if it concerns a more serious request or issue. Your parent’s gut reaction will be to say “No”. To avoid getting a rejection immediately, give your parent some time to decide and to consult with your other parent. This will also show your parents that you are mature and not impetuous. This tactic only works with requests that aren't time specific. If you need to borrow the car this weekend. You don't want to put off getting your parent's answer because then you won't have time to secure other transportation. If, for example, you want to get a new pet, this strategy might work better. Because getting a new pet is such a commitment, it is best to not rush your parents into it. If you want to retort or convince your parents of your side, you'll need to discount their argument. So even if they say "no" this doesn't mean that they'll always say "no". Ask for an explanation. Hopefully, your parent won’t just play the parent card — “because I said so”. Hopefully, they’ll explain their side of the debate. If they do, try to understand what is driving their reasoning. Then make counter-arguments or proposals that undercut those arguments and support your own. For example, if your parents say no to getting a new dog based on the premise that you are not responsible enough, find ways to show them otherwise. Start behaving more responsibly and when they notice, bring up getting a new dog again. "Look I am responsible. Now that you recognize my ability to be responsible, can we get a dog?" Remember that one of the best ways to counter a parent's argument is through your actions. There may be other ways of convincing your parents. Take a moment to regroup and to re-evaluate alternate strategies. You might conclude to let it go. Hopefully, you've succeeded, but if you haven't, your desire to convince your parent might wane. It might not be worth it to you any more to convince your parent. Some parents won’t think about changing their opinions once their mind is set. If this is the case, you may have to consider alternative avenues to getting what you want. For example, if your parents refuse to help you buy a car, you will need to get a job and save your money to buy one yourself., A: Clearly state your goal. Bargain. Ask for a delayed response. Understand your parent’s argument. Re-evaluate.

The answer of "Summarize the following When they've reached the fall-apart stage, take them out to get them ready for the next step. It's time for the final stage of cooking, which will ensure the ribs have a crispy exterior. If you treated your ribs with a rub, you can skip the barbecue sauce, but either way it adds a flavor burst to the ribs. Paint the top of the ribs with a liberal amount of barbecue sauce. You can whip up your own barbecue sauce by simmering the following ingredients together for 30 minutes beforehand: 1 1/2 cups ketchup 1/2 cup brown sugar 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt Let them cook for an additional 10 minutes under the broiler, until the tops of the ribs turn brown and crispy. Place them on a plate to cool for a few moments. Barbecue beef ribs are excellent with potato salad, macaroni salad and extra barbecue sauce." is Remove the ribs from the oven or grill. Open the foil and add barbecue sauce. Place the ribs under the broiler. Remove the ribs from heat. Serve the ribs.

Passage: Search their home page for links to applications for beta testers. Or simply Google keyword searches with the company’s name (like, say, “Google”) plus “hardware beta testers” and “application.” Find out how each company recruits their testers. Many companies will offer online applications that you can submit right away. Some companies may then screen candidates through direct email or phone calls. The exact format to the application will vary from company to company. However, where appropriate, be sure to include any information that will make you stand out from other candidates. Do the same with any follow-up interviews or surveys that you may be asked to complete. List all types of technology that you own and/or use frequently, such as phones, computers, other devices, and entertainment systems. Include personal info like age, gender, and location, since they may want to test certain products with specific demographics. Include your level of expertise with each one. For instance, if you can take a gaming console apart and put it back together again, say so. On the other hand, if you have no idea how one works but play them every so often, sell yourself as someone who could gauge how easily a product can be used by a novice. Again, the application process may differ from company to company. Expect follow-up surveys or interviews conducted by either the company itself or a second party that has been contracted to oversee their beta testing. Follow any directives about joining and participating in the company’s online community. Complete all necessary prerequisites to qualify for consideration. Be aware that fewer candidates are picked for hardware testing than with software testing. This is due to the fewer numbers of test units that the company can provide. Since there are more opportunities to test software, consider starting with that to gain a solid reputation and experience with the company., Summary: Read the source or sources carefully and take notes. Identify the author's thesis statement. Note the author’s main ideas as you read. Summarize

The answer of "Summarize the following Look for hard, grey, scaly bark with deep grooves and ridges. The ridges and furrows often mingle with flattened gray areas on the larger branches and the main trunk. The color of the bark may fluctuate somewhat between oak species, but is is nearly always a shade of gray. Some oak bark is very dark, approaching black, and some bark is nearly white. Old-growth oaks, particularly, are distinctive for their impressive size, and in some areas (such as California's "golden hills") these behemoths dominate the landscape. Oak trees tend to grow fairly large and round, with some reaching heights of 100 feet (30.5 m) or more. Oak trees are full and balanced, and it is not uncommon for an oak's width (including branches and foliage) to match its height. Oak trunks can be massively thick: some species commonly boast a girth of 30 feet (9.1 m) or more. Oak trees can live for more than 200 years--some have been known to live for more than 1000 years. For the most part, the thicker the trunk, the older the tree. The canopy of the oak tree tends to be relatively broad, which makes this tree a popular provider of shade and privacy during the summer months. If a tree has been felled, cut, and split, you may need to consider characteristics like the color, the smell, and the look of the grain. Oak is one of the hardest trees, which is why its wood is a popular choice for furniture, flooring and other household amenities. Dry oak logs are prized as firewood, as they burn slowly and thoroughly. Again, there are many species of oak, so it helps to know where the tree was felled. If you don't know where the wood came from, you may only be able to tell whether you're dealing with red or white oak. This knowledge should suffice for most non-scientific purposes. Red oak wood will have a red tint and will dry to a slightly deeper red. White oak wood will be lighter in color. Oak wood is often mixed up with maple, but you can distinguish the two by their scent. Maple has a sweeter smell--hence maple sugar--and oak has a heavier, smokier smell." is Consider the bark. Consider the size of the tree. Identify oak wood once it's been cut.

The summary of "For an easy solution, simply place a heavy rock or cinder block on top of your lid. Just make sure everyone who needs access to the can is strong enough to lift it (besides raccoons, of course)! A flimsy or loose can won’t stand up to a cunning raccoon. Choose a metal trash can with a locking lid. While some plastic cans can lock, raccoons are often able to chew through plastic. Attaching clamps, a chain-and-padlock combo, bungee cords, or specially designed garbage-lid straps are all good strategies to keep your lid secure from intruders. Don’t hesitate to use multiple locking mechanisms. Tightly sealing trash bags before putting them in your can will help prevent tempting scents from escaping. If a trash bag contains an especially smelly item--such as a piece of meat--try sealing it with an extra bag. Oftentimes, raccoons open trash cans by tipping them and spilling their contents. Tie the handles of your trash can to a metal or wooden stake secured in the ground to keep raccoons from tipping them over." is Open your Excel document. Click the Data tab. Click Auto Outline.

The summary of "Intrapersonal or internal conflicts are those disputes you have with yourself; in other words, they are "me-conflicts," rather than "we-conflicts," because they don't involve another person. Internal conflicts can be concerned with your own feelings, thoughts or decisions, but can also be related to someone or something else. For example, maybe you feel jealous of the new promotion your best friend received. You are proud of your friend and want the best for her, but you can’t seem to shake the jealousy. Therefore, the conflict isn’t with your friend, but with your own emotions and so the conflict is squarely your own. Intrapersonal conflicts, although difficult, can also be a powerful motivating force in our lives. It is often what drives us to change and discover new opportunities for growth. Ask yourself what emotions you are feeling and what might be causing you to have these emotional reactions. Consider keeping a journal in order to keep track of what you've been doing and feeling. A journal can be a resource when you feel unsettled with yourself because you can consult it as you try to uncover the reason for your internal conflict. Intrapersonal conflict can range from minor and mundane decisions about whether or not to eat organic lunches to major life decisions, such as quitting smoking, ending a relationship or changing careers. Many conflicts people have with themselves are related to something the psychology world refers to as cognitive dissonance, a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. Cognitive dissonance theory suggests that we all have an inner drive to hold our attitudes and beliefs in harmony with our actions to avoid disharmony (or dissonance). For example, let's say you feel sad over a breakup, even thought you yourself did the breaking up. Your emotions thus don't align with your action. Or, to give another example, let's say you smoke even though you know it is bad for your health. Your action of smoking thus doesn't align with what you know about smoking. No one can “make” you feel anything. This isn’t to say you may not have emotions or feelings in reaction to someone else’s words or actions, but ultimately, your feelings are yours. Be aware of and "own" your feelings - even the negative emotions like sadness, loneliness, grief, and heartbreak. Acknowledging your emotions is the first step to resolving any internal conflicts. Embrace the struggle knowing you will eventually untie yourself from the knots of indecisiveness, insecurity, and/or denial. Surely you have been here before on other subjects, and you made it through. Allow yourself time. All too frequently, people don't like to give time its place because quick and easy decisions are so immediately gratifying. However, when it comes to personal changes and emotions, time is your best friend. Over time, we can examine the issue and ensure we are handling these emotions productively, which is the key to success. When dealing with cognitive dissonance, you have three possible solutions: change your beliefs, change your action or change your perception of the action by rationalizing it. In the case of a breakup over which you feel sad, begin to think carefully about what led you to the breakup. Reflecting on the conflict can help resolve it; chances are that you'll realize that you did the right thing and that you're mourning the possibility of your relationship, not the actual person with whom you broke up who treated you so terribly. In the case of smoking while knowing it's bad for your health, many smokers have developed all kinds of way to rationalize and justify their behavior to ward off those feelings of internal conflict. For example, some smokers might say it helps calm their stress, keeps them from overeating (another bad habit) or that they smoke "light" cigarettes which are "healthier." Of course, there are also some smokers who effectively change their actions and quit smoking! Be your own therapist while evaluating your options. Ask yourself the tough questions in order to put the conflict at rest (i.e., what's the worst thing that could happen if I continue smoking? Would I really be happier if I hadn't broken up with him? Am I jealous of my friend or am I struggling with the fact that my own work situation isn't advancing?, etc.). You may be wrestling with the issue, but most likely you know the right questions to ask yourself. If you were your own closest friend, what questions would you pose to help yourself sort through your conflict? Intrapersonal conflicts can be quite difficult to handle if you already struggle with deciphering your thoughts, feelings, and needs. It can also cause uneasiness, restlessness, and even depression. Consider communication with someone, such as a friend or family member, in order to help assuage your anxiety. If you feel unable to resolve your internal conflict or your feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, or sadness begin to hinder your daily functioning, consider talking to a mental health professional who can work with you to develop effective internal conflict management strategies." is Go to a video streaming website.

The summary of "A sapphire that has a splotchy and uneven color is not considered one of high quality. Look for sapphires that are saturated with a single vivid color all the way through. Avoid sapphires that have brown or gray spots within. Tone describes how light or dark a particular sapphire is. There’s no quantifiable way to measure tone, but on a scale from light to dark, medium and dark sapphires are generally considered higher quality than those that are light. Generally, the more wrinkles and imperfections (inclusions) a sapphire contains, the less prized it will be. To choose a quality sapphire, find one with few or no inclusions that allows you to see straight through it. The most prized sapphires are blue and come from Sri Lanka. The second-most prized sapphire is a Padparadscha sapphire, which has a pink-orange color and also comes from Sri Lanka. The fancy pink sapphire is the third-most sought-after sapphire. It has a bright pink color and is generally found in Sri Lanka or Burma. Other colors like green, violet, and red are also available, but are less sought-after than the above-listed varieties. Turn the sapphire around in your hand as you hold it up to the light. This will help you see all the internal and external elements of the gem. Don’t rush the process. Take all the time necessary to see all the nooks and crannies of the gem." is Look for purity of color. Select medium or dark sapphires. Pick a clear sapphire. Choose a blue, pink-orange, or bright pink sapphire. Get a good look at the sapphire.

Passage: To find a good piercing artist, you can start by asking others about their piercings and who did them. Perhaps you have a friend who has a beautifully done piercing and you ask them for a referral to their artist. Or maybe you have a family member who had a positive experience and is willing to refer you to the artist for your piercing. You may focus on asking friends or family who have constellation piercings already that you like or find appealing. Getting a referral for an artist who does constellation piercings well will increase your chances of getting a piercing that you like. Once you have a few names of artists, you should look them up online and see if they have a portfolio or samples of their past work. A good piercing artist will usually have an official website or web page that showcases their style and their designs. You should review their past work to see if their artistic style matches what you want for your piercing. Check if their portfolio includes constellation piercings they have done in the past. Bookmark any examples that you like, as you can use them later as a reference point during your consultation with the artist. If the artist works out of a piercing and tattoo parlor or studio, which they should if they are reputable, they may have online reviews of their work that you can read. Check that the artist is highly rated and has mostly positive reviews online from past customers. You can find reputable artists at piercing conventions in your area. Piercing conventions are a good way to see the work of many different artists and talk directly to the artists about their work. You may end up seeing an artist's work that you like and chatting with them about getting a constellation piercing. For example, you may ask the piercing artist, “Have you done constellation piercings before?”, “Can I see samples of your work?” and “How much do you charge for your work?” Many piercers are self taught, but this does not mean you cannot still confirm their skills and training. A reputable piercer will be willing to have a consultation with you before they pierce you to examine the area you want to get pierced, discuss your jewellery options for the piercing, and to outline any possible risks or complications. Make sure you have a consultation with the piercer at the studio or parlor they work out of. Check that the studio looks clean, sterile, and well stocked with the necessary tools for the piercing. You should ask the piercer how long they have been piercing, how they learned to do piercing, and if they have any formal education or training., Summary: Contact your carrier's customer support and ask for your PAC. Contact the customer support of the new carrier you want to use. Wait for your request to be completed.

Context: Superman needs Metropolis. Tank Girl needs the post-apocalyptic version of Australia that she rides around in. In what world does your Superhero live? What are the dangers and the threats that this world poses to your hero? To regular people? Good stories come from the place your hero lives. What are the problems in your world? Your nuclear garbage collector might be right at home in Brooklyn. But, the story might be more interesting if s/he's picking up garbage on Mars Outpost 7, where food and water are in short supply, gangs run the streets, and trash is plentiful. Get creative. Who does your superhero have to fight against? A group of enemies? Or a single, arch-nemesis who plans evil in your hero's town? From the Joker to Doctor Octopus to Magneto, good villains are just as important to a comic book story as a superhero. Think of opposites. If your superhero is a nuclear-powered garbage collector, maybe his arch-nemesis would be the evil surgeon, who lives in an incredibly sterile lab and never goes outside. But he plans crimes from inside the secret laboratory. Enemies don't necessarily have to be people. Every Batman doesn't necessarily need a specific Joker to do battle with. Superhero stories need more than just heroes and villains. There need to be some regular people in the middle of the action, to help give the story some stakes. Commissioner Gordon, Pa Kent, April O'Neil, and Uncle Ben are all examples of great characters who motivate and influence superhero characters in comics. Do they have any family members/siblings? Think about a love interest for your superhero. Will your hero be able to share their secret identity with their love? Will their love get in the middle of the conflict? There's all kinds of places you can go with a superhero lover. What brings your superhero and his arch-nemesis together? What happens to cause drama and tension in your world? Depending on how you've answered all of the following prompts, you can do any number of different things to find a conflict for telling a good superhero story. What must your hero do, specifically, to stop the evil from happening? What's within your garbage collector's power to keep the evil surgeon from taking over Mars Outpost 7? Think about what your hero's arch-nemesis wants. What makes them evil? Lex Luthor, one of Superman's big enemies, was a greedy businessman always on the lookout for ways to earn a buck. The Joker finds humor in crime and violence, where Batman seeks to defend those who have injustice done to them. One of the great things about coming up with comic book-style superheroes is that you don't have to "end" the stories. Keep them going into the future. Comic books are serialized, which means they just keep going and going, into the future, for as long as you want. Batman stories have been told since the 40s. Think of ways to add more layers to your superhero stories, like an onion, instead of just starting them and ending them. Superheroes make great character for comic books, movie scripts, and even fan-fiction short stories.

The answer of "Summarize the following Search your area for government-sanctioned testing facilities. This is particularly important during paternity tests. The facility must follow established procedures in order for the test to be legitimate. Find lists of facilities online and ask for the facility’s credentials before taking the test. DNA testing can be done with any number of body fluids or tissues. Many on-site tests are done by swabbing the inside of a cheek. When testing an unborn child, the facility can now withdraw blood through the mother. This can be done after the first trimester for a safe and highly accurate paternity test. Blood and swab tests are non-invasive. Invasive tests, such as using a needle to extract amniotic fluid, pose slight risks to an unborn child, so wait until after the child is born to get the test done. Genealogy and medical DNA tests will be complete after you provide your sample. To test paternity or maternity, you’ll also need samples from parents. The parent needs to come into the lab and provide their sample. If they can’t or don’t want to, you’ll have to get a sample from a grandparent or other immediate relative. Medical DNA tests will be explained by the facility or your doctor. Heritage DNA tests can be researched via your family tree. For relational DNA tests, you’ll have to go through the legal system.

Context: This is a location that can have a lot of excess hair growth. Begin by using your thinning shears around the dog's shoulders if a ridge of hair has formed there. Then move your attention to the front of the dog, thinning the hair on its chest until it lies flat. The length of your dog's fur will vary. A Golden Retriever doesn't have a short, tight coat, but instead has some length to it. When trimming your dog's coat, focus more on trimming fuzzy and unkempt fur, instead of trimming to a specific length. If you are unsure if you have removed enough hair, comb the coat out and see if the coat is lying flat. The goal is to have a nice flat coat that is balanced and symmetrical. As you trim, move the thinning shears with the direction of the growth. Using the thinning shears to trim the neck and chest will give the dog a more natural look., Summary: Dress well and groom yourself. Exude confidence. Prepare for generic questions.

The answer of "Summarize the following To dry age your meat safely and properly, you'll need to take steps to limit changes in temperature and humidity. It is especially important to keep your meat at the right temperature during the aging process. Designating a separate dry aging refrigerator or freezer is the easiest way of doing this. Meat will spoil above 40°F (4°C) but will freeze below 32°F (0°C). The ideal temperature for aging is 36°F (2.2°C) throughout the entire aging process. Using your everyday refrigerator is not recommended. The more you open and close your refrigerator/freezer, the more the temperature and humidity will change. You might use a small, temperature adjustable "dorm" refrigerator or a storage freezer for your dry aging. Meats will absorb other strong flavors and odors. Items like cheese, fish, and garlic will likely influence the taste of your meat while it ages. A thorough cleaning before dry aging will help protect the natural flavor profile of your meat. The best way to ensure that there are no subtle contaminants in your refrigerator/freezer is to defrost and clean your freezer with a suitable general purpose cleaner. If smells linger after cleaning, sprinkle a layer of baking soda on the inner surfaces of your refrigerator/freezer and thoroughly wipe it with a rag. Home refrigerators and freezers sometimes do not have as fine an internal thermometer as commercial grade ones. In some cases, your refrigerator might not have an internal temperature gauge, and you'll need to buy one so you ensure a consistent temperature throughout the aging process. A normal thermometer might not stand up to the cold temperatures as well as a specifically intended cold temperature/freezer thermometer. These will likely be available at your local hardware store. You might want to choose a thermometer that has a humidity gauge, as well. For consistent results, a humidity of 60% should be maintained, though many at home dry-agers have found a wider range has little effect on the end product. Air circulation is important for the dry aging process. Limited circulation can lead to your meat failing to dehydrate at the optimal level. Adding a small desk fan to the inside of your meat refrigerator/freezer can solve this problem. You may need to cut a notch in the seal of your refrigerator/freezer for the cord of the fan. After fitting the cord into the notch, you may want to pack any open gaps with some kind of insulation." is Take steps to self-publish your book Consider finding a literary agent.

Q: Summarize the following: Existing grout should be cleaned and dried before resealing. Make sure grout lines aren't cracked, chipped, or otherwise compromised before treating with a sealant. If they are, touch up grout and wait the requisite 48 to 72 hours before sealing. It is important to tape off these other surfaces to prevent unintentional staining. Coat the grout lines, making sure you cover the grout joints completely. If the sealer gets on the tile, take a damp cloth and wipe the sealer off. Apply the second coat and wait another 5 to 15 minutes. Use a clean, dry color appropriate towel. Use water and a white nylon pad or any clean cloth to scrub residue from dried grout sealant on tiles. Most sealers are dry to walk on in 2-5 hours. Keep anything that can stain the grout away for 72 hours. A full sealer cure is usually achieved in 24 to 48 hours. Test the effectiveness of the grout sealant by flicking a few drops of water onto the grout line. An effective grout sealant will cause the water to puddle on top of the grout. If the grout absorbs the water, reapply sealer. Try this at various locations on the grout lines., A: Understand the difference between cream and powder blush. Choose the right shade of blush.

Q: Summarize the following: If there's anything labrador retrievers love more than food, it is spending time with you - playing, snuggling, or simply following you around.. Don’t neglect your lab if it wants to play or cuddle up next to your feet while you watch TV. Your labrador retriever has not lost its pack instinct. Most likely, your lab views you as the leader or one of the leaders of its pack. So if you neglect your lab, it will be affected emotionally. All dogs are territorial. Your lab is no exception. It's natural for them to bark at anything and everything, but when conditioned properly, they aren't so ferocious. Make sure that you spend some time at home and out in public training your lab. If you have several dogs, you'll need to gradually introduce your new labrador retriever into the mix. Place them in a room or outdoor space divided by a fence of some kind. Let the dogs get a sense of one another. They learn a lot by smells, so give them 30 minutes or more to just take in their new companion. Next, let them get closer, but keep them on a leash. Do this several times, limiting their exposure to the other animal to half hour increments. Only when you are confident that they won't attack one another should you let them roam freely. Have them play together outside. Let them bond. The same rules apply to people. If your labrador retriever is going to get used to being around a lot of people, it needs to be introduced into these environments in a safe way. Keep your lab on a leash. Have surrounding people/strangers pet your dog and be kind to them. Tell them to offer their hand to your dog. Dogs love to smell people's hands in order to assess their scent. Do this frequently. Eventually, your lab will learn that people can be trusted. Generally, your labrador retriever will play well with children. However, if you have younger children, you will have to keep tabs on what they're doing with the dog at all times. Make sure the child isn't hurting or threatening your dog in any way or this may result in a physical altercation. Your dog isn't vicious. It doesn't hate your child. It might just feel threatened by it. If it scratches or bites, it is simply reacting instinctually to a threat. Do your best to limit this threat. Be present when your child plays with your labrador. Typically, your lab's favorite toy will be a tennis ball. This probably speaks to their inner "retriever". Since your lab was bred to fetch wild game, it makes sense that it would enjoy playing with something that is meant to be retrieved. You can find a myriad of other toys at any pet superstore. Dog toys are a great way for your dog to play and to burn off excess energy without having to go outside and run around. Teach it how to walk on a leash also. Labrador retrievers are an intelligent breed and are often easy to train - especially, when they are younger. A trained dog is more confident and better behaved. In addition, a dog that will listen to voice commands is safer in the event it is ever off-leash. When training your labrador retriever, be sure to reinforce positive behavior rather than chastise for negative. Never hit your labrador retriever. You are trying to build a trusting relationship with your dog, not create a neurotic and scared animal. Dogs that attack people or children without heed are often the product of cruel environments. Don't let your labrador retriever be one of them., A: Bring approximately 4 cups (1L) of water to the boil. Let the water reach 96 °C (205 °F) if you are making black tea. Wait for 2-3 minutes so the water reaches 71–82 °C (160–180 °F) for green tea.

The answer of "Summarize the following You can find celery at most grocery stores and farmers markets, and you may also encounter it in some gardens. For the freshest celery, consider buying a locally-grown product. You can find pre-packaged celery, but it may have been shipped from who-knows-where, stored for who-knows-how-long, and sprayed with who-knows-how-many pesticides. Buy a whole stalk of celery. Make sure that the stalk is light green, firm, and unblemished. If the stalk is whitish, soft, or cracked it may be going bad; if the leaves are wilted, choose a fresher stalk. If you're looking for a quick and convenient snack, consider buying a package of pre-cut celery sticks. Again, pre-packaged sticks may not be as fresh as whole-stalk, locally-grown celery, but they take less work to prepare if you're in a hurry. Celery is a Mediterranean plant, and it grows best in temperate climates with temperatures between 59 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Celery is a long-season crop, and it may be difficult to grow in areas with brief summers. The seeds sprout best when they are sprouted indoors. You should be able to find a package of celery seeds at a local nursery or garden-supply store. You may be able to harvest wild celery seeds; refer to botanical field guides, or ask a friend who grows celery in her garden. If you grow your own celery, you can collect the seeds and use them as seasoning. With care and planning, you can ensure that you will have a consistent supply of celery from year to year. Use fresh, running water, but don't use soap or detergent. There's a chance that commercially-grown celery has been sprayed with pesticides and other chemicals, and a thorough rinsing can remove many potential contaminants. Washing can also reduce the risk of contracting any number of food-borne illnesses. You may store celery in the crisper drawer, in a well-sealed plastic bag, or in a bowl or jar with the end of the stalk submerged in a bit of water to keep it fresh. When properly stored, fresh (whole) celery should last 3-4 weeks past the printed sell-by date; pre-packaged celery should last 2-3 days past the printed date; and cooked celery should last up to one week after it is cooked. Celery is not always sold with an expiration date. Use your intuition: if the stalk is whitish, soft, cracked, or wilted, it may be going bad. If you won't use your celery before four weeks have passed, consider freezing it and thawing it out when you need it. If you buy a whole, fresh stalk of celery, cut off the leaves at the top; compost the leaves or put them out with the trash. If you will be dipping the celery into a sauce or condiment, chop the stalk into pieces ranging from 3-4 inches in length. If you are cooking with celery or mixing it into a salad, chop it into smaller, bite-sized pieces, or dice it finely." is Use complementary colors for distinctly vivid rooms. Emphasize continuity in your home by sticking to a color scheme. Focus on patterns as well as colors.

Q: Summarize the following: Avocados taste best when they are at their ripe peak. They're too hard to work with when they're underripe, and they lose their good flavor when they're overripe. Make sure you choose avocados that give just a little when you press the skin with your finger. The skin should be deep green in color, with no black spots. If only underripe avocados are available, set them on the counter to ripen for a few days before making dip. Take a sharp knife and insert it near the tip of the avocado. Press it in until you reach the pit, and slice all around the pit to divide the avocado into two length-wise halves. Separate the halves, remove the pit, and use a spoon to scoop the avocado meat into a bowl. Repeat with the remaining avocados. If the avocados are ripe, this process should be easy. The skin and pit will fall away from the meat, so you can make quick work of scooping it into the bowl. For less ripe avocados, you may need to use a knife to cut the avocado meat away from the pit. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Sprinkle on the salt and garlic. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocado with the lime juice and spices until they are blended.

A few other bulbs, such as tulips, anemone, and grape hyacinths, are also beginner-friendly. These bulbs require little maintenance and naturalize easily in lawns. Bulb size isn’t important. Smaller bulbs like crocuses can grow as well as larger bulbs like daffodils. In areas that experience long, cold winters with temperatures under −20 °F (−29 °C), plant hardier bulbs. Some tulip types, such as Greigii or Darwin bulbs, can grow well. Daffodils and crocuses can also give your yard some flair in spring. Small, versatile bulbs, such as snowdrops, winter aconites, glories of the snow, and grape hyacinths, are good choices for cold climates. Since you are planting the bulbs in grass, you cannot use mulch to protect them in winter, so only choose bulbs suitable for harsh winters. Warm climates have winters above −5 °F (−21 °C) and warm, dry summers. If summers last late into September and October in your area, choose warm-weather bulbs. In addition to tulips, daffodils, and crocuses, lilies and hyacinths grow well in these areas. You could plant bulbs that don’t grow as well in northern climates, such as bugle lilies, tritonias, harlequin flowers, and freesias. Be wary when choosing late-blooming bulbs. You will have to plant a slow-growing lawn or keep your grass tall until the bulbs bloom. Visit your local plant nursery for bulb-types suited for your climate. Most bulbs prefer well-draining soil, but a few varieties grow well in wetter soil. Snake’s head can do well in the grass. You might also try wild hyacinth, cannas, guinea hen flower, and summer snowflake. These bulbs should be grown in spots where the soil doesn't drain as quickly. There are quite a few bulb varieties that can grow well in grass, from large daffodils to small crocuses. For a stronger visual effect, choose 1 or 2 plants you like. This way, your bulbs will stand out and look natural in the grass. Feel the bulbs before buying or planting them. Healthy bulbs feel firm to the touch. Any bulbs that have soft spots or show signs of rot are less likely to survive planting. These signs are often seen in older bulbs, which should be avoided. Damaged bulbs may not survive for very long in grassy areas. They often cannot compete with grass for water and nutrients. For the best results, plant your bulbs soon after you purchase them in the fall so they don’t begin to turn soft or rot." is Check with your city. Find a suitable location. Invite your guests.

Passage: Part of being mellow is knowing when you should actually change something that is gnawing at you. If you're irritated by a co-worker and do nothing to address it, then yeah, you are unlikely to feel mellow when you're at work. If your closet door is driving you crazy but you don't try to fix it, then you won't be feeling mellow for very long. The important thing is to approach the fixable problems in life with calm and resolve. Ask yourself about which things in life are causing you to not be mellow. Work to find a way to solve or address the problems that you are able to deal with. Along with changing the things you can change, in order to truly be mellow, you have to be able to learn to accept the things you cannot change. You can address a problematic co-worker to discuss issues you've been having, but you may not be able to change the fact that you hate the weather in the place where you live or that you have to live with siblings who pester you. Learn to recognize when a situation is out of your control and accept it with a calm mind. Let's say your new boss is driving you crazy, but you really love your job. If you try to resolve the issue and fail, then you have to learn to focus on the parts of your job that you love in spite of being annoyed by your boss. If you're the kind of person who doesn't know how to forgive and forget, then you are guaranteed to be less mellow. If one of your friends or family members has truly upset you, you have to work on being able to talk about it and to move past it, even if you haven't completely forgiven the person. If you walk around holding a grudge, then you are guaranteed to be in an angry, riled-up state instead of facing the day with calm and peace. If you spend so much time obsessing over being mad at people who rejected you or fuming over people who have harmed you, then you will never be able to mellow out. Sure, it can help to talk about how someone has hurt you. But if you keep talking about it to everyone within earshot, you're only going to work yourself up into a frenzy. Keeping a journal can help you feel in touch with your thoughts and ready to face new challenges. Making a goal of writing in your journal at least a few times a week can help you check in with yourself and feel like you are in touch with your mental state. Doing so also helps you establish a healthy routine and gives you time to slow down and accept whatever the day has thrown at you. If you don't take a moment to breathe or relax as you write down your thoughts, then you will not be feeling mellow any time soon. Use your journal as a place for honesty and a reservation of judgment. Write down what you're thinking and feeling without fear or lies and you'll be on your way to feeling more at peace. A lot of people don't feel mellow because their wheels are always turning, trying to play out every move of life like it's a chess game. Let's say you're a writer who is deciding whether to be a librarian or to go to graduate school. Instead of planning out the next ten years of your life, wondering if you'll ever be able to publish a book, just do what feels right to you during that particular stage of your life. Focus on whatever you're doing right now and think about your next move without worrying about the next ten moves you'll have to make. If you learn to live in the present and to fully immerse yourself in what you're working on now, you'll be much more likely to succeed at what you're doing than if you're constantly wondering about where this step will lead you., Summary: Go to any Enchantment lab.

The answer of "Summarize the following When you’ve started texting your crush, it’s best to begin in a friendly, open-ended way. A salutation and question initiates conversation, and allows you to gauge whether she’s busy or preoccupied. For example, send a text that says “Hi, what are you up to?” or “Hello, how are you today?” Don’t just say “hi” or “hey.” It sounds lazy, and she might not know what to say in response. Use follow-up questions to show your interest. Ask her to tell you more about her quirky dance teacher, her semifinal softball game, or what it’s like to babysit her little brother. Texting etiquette is complicated. For instance, everyone knows that ending every text with a period makes you sound angry. You don’t need to write an English paper, but do your best to check your spelling and not put commas where they don’t belong. This will show her that you like her enough to put thought into your writing. "Hi, what's up? Is the math homework destroying you as badly as it's destroying me?" looks a lot better than "hi whats ^ is the math hmwrk killing u 2." Most people are more relaxed in the evening, following a busy day at school or work. You’ll have more time to respond to each other’s thoughts this way. Plus, communicating with her at night can feel more romantic than telling her you like her in broad daylight. Make sure not to text after bedtime, which can feel invasive. Wind down the texts after 10 PM or so. You want to be able to give your full attention to the conversation, and you want her to be able to give you attention too. This means that it's best not to text her when she's told you about other plans. If she’s told you that she’s going out with friends, for instance, give her a little space. You can always text her tomorrow and ask how her girl's-night-out went. It works the other way, too--don’t text her right before a movie if you know you’ll be distracted. The more upbeat and positive the conversation, the more receptive a girl will be when you tell her you like her. Try to stay away from negative topics that can ruin the mood, such as problems at school or work, or controversial subjects that can upset her and turn conversation sour. Talk about pop culture you have in common. If you’re both giant Potterheads, ask how she feels about the new movie trailer. Joke about something in your daily life you both share. If the school lunch was an inedible casserole, ask if she’s having nightmares about it too. This shows you’re a good listener and that you care, and that you pay attention to everything she shares with you. For example, if she once mentioned that she likes bowling, ask about her highest score or favorite alley. This is often more effective than telling a girl you like her, because it shows you understand her and recognize her best qualities. For example, if you like her knowledge of comics, tell her that you learn something new about the X-Men every time you talk to her. Avoid complimenting your crush’s physical characteristics, like her body or eyes, at this stage. It can come off as creepy. If your crush has recently rocked a performance or other big event, congratulate her on her skills. Texting is fun, but too much of it can become really intense. If you’re texting your crush for several hours a day, it might be time to dial it back a bit. This is especially true if you seem to be putting more effort into your texts than she is. If you text your crush twice and she doesn’t respond, back off for a while. If she’s into you, she’ll text you again when she’s ready. Don’t go too far in the other direction and never text her back. You may be trying to play it cool, but if she feels ignored, she’ll feel bad." is Reedit your lyrics if needed. Add a hook. Reevaluate the structure. Workshop your song with others.

Context: The excess mucous and inflammation that result from a cold will make singing uncomfortable. So, if it isn't important to to sing, it may not be worth it. Colds can also cause headaches and sinus pressure. You can alleviate these somewhat with medication, but singing is still not likely to be a lot of fun. Performing when your body is ill denies it the rest it needs to recover. You may be prolonging your illness by deciding to sing. Regardless of whether you feel personally up to singing, another important question to consider is whether your cold will ruin your performance. Sometimes a bad performance is worse than none. When you have a cold, excess mucous can drip onto your vocal cords. This can distort or muffle your singing, as the vibrations produced by your vocal cords will be affected. A cold can also cause a sore throat, or pharyngitis. The pharynx is essentially the resonating system for your voice, and inflammation can make it difficult to stretch the tissue as necessary to produce the desired sounds. In rare instances, the inflammation from a cold can move down into the larynx, causing laryngitis. Laryngitis can result in a temporary alteration or loss of one's voice. If this occurs, there is usually no point in trying to sing. Although rare, it is possible for singing with a cold to harm the vocal cords. This is especially true among singers who lack formal training. Prolonged singing when your voice is strained (as it can be with a cold) can produce vocal nodules, or callouses on the vocal cords. If this occurs, you will need a prolonged vocal rest (or, in an extreme case, surgery) to regain your singing ability. This isn't common, but it's a possibility to consider. If you are experiencing severe vocal cord swelling or hemorrhage, do not sing under any circumstances. Seek immediate medical attention. Ultimately, in deciding whether or not to sing, you'll need to make your own decision about whether these discomforts and risks outweigh the importance of the performance. If it's a very important performance and you think you can carry it off, it might be worth going ahead. Sometimes cancelling a performance is the professional choice. Losing your voice or fainting on stage are probably worse than not performing at all., Summary: Take a pain reliever. Obtain a birth control pill prescription. Stay away from quinine.

The answer of "Summarize the following The apples will chill as you prepare the chocolate. This will help the melted chocolate harden faster once you dip the apples into it. If you don't have wax paper, lightly coat the baking sheet with cooking spray instead. This way, the chocolate won't stick to the baking sheet. Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water. Place a heat-safe glass bowl on top of the saucepan. The bottom of the bowl should not be touching the surface of the water.

Q: Summarize the following: If you're a Bard, the best preparation for your survival, including the party members, would be having a high boost for your Heal percentage. Your party members expect you to heal them and support anyone within your party, especially the tanks. For the tank type, you need to withstand any attack to protect your teammates and prevent DPS and Bards from dying. High DEF, HP, and a decent attack will be enough. Don't forget to use skills that can provoke the enemies, increasing the malice count toward you. For DPS class, keep in mind that you don't have unlimited respawn in the Sky Tower. The key to winning is to stay alive while raiding through the floors. Have greater damage to kill monsters quickly Don't forget to have a decent DEF to avoid dropping out from the party in the early part of the raid.

Become tougher. Increase damage.

Context: If you don't get a satisfactory ground reading, check your grounding system for problems. Make sure the clamp that connects the ground rod and the grounding circuit conductor is very tight. Also ensure that the ground electrode conductor is solidly connected to the grounding bar in the electrical panel. Most electrical systems also have secondary grounding means, such as the grounding bar being connected to a cold water pipe that goes into the ground. Make sure that the secondary grounding means is also securely connected. In some instances, ground rods can be installed in areas where the earth has a lot of resistance. For instance, if a ground rod is driven into a very rocky and dry area it may not conduct electricity into the ground well. If this is the case for your ground rod, the best solution is to drive a different rod into a different location. This may not require you to put a ground rod a long distance away from the original rod. Even a few feet can make a difference for the ground resistance. If you have too much resistance in your initial ground rod, you can connect a second one in series to reduce the overall resistance. This will ensure that any ground fault will be able to go to ground easily. Your second ground rod should be located at a distance that is equal to the length of your ground rod. For example, if your first ground rod is 8 feet (2.4 m) long, your second ground rod should be located 8 feet (2.4 m) from the first ground rod., Summary: Determine how much you’re willing to spend.

Q: Summarize the following: As a brand manager, your primary focus will be on cultivating a positive image for your company. This means you need to have a thorough understanding of what your organization’s goals are and how everything the company does relates to them. Most importantly, this means you have to protect the brand from anything that could harm it, such as: Products that confuse customers or clash with the brand. Poorly developed or offensive marketing campaigns. Anger from customers or social media users. Accusations of cruel or illegal activity. In collaboration with other departments at the company, including marketing, you’ll need to find ways to shine positive public attention on the brand. You may do this using traditional methods, like advertising campaigns, or experimental techniques, like interacting with customers on social media. While brand management has a lot of creative elements, you’ll still need to make a number of decisions concerning day-to-day issues.

Context: There are over 10 different Links in The Legend of Zelda franchise. The most recognizable versions are the ones from Ocarina of Time, the Twilight Princess, and Breath of the Wild. A simple online search for the different versions of Link will bring up a lot of art to reference. In most games, Link wears a green tunic. But in Ocarina of Time, he wears both a red and a blue tunic in addition to his classic green one. If you use red or blue, this would also be recognizable among fans. Measure the circumference of your head using a flexible tape measure. Then, measure from the top of your head to the middle of your shoulder blades. Draw 2 triangles on a piece of felt that are the length of the measurement from your head to your shoulders and half the circumference of your head, plus 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). Cut the triangles, then sew them together inside out using a basic running stitch. If you plan on wearing a blond wig for Link’s hair, measure your head while wearing the wig, so you can make your hat fit accurately. The hat should be made from felt that matches the color of the tunic. If you’re wearing Link’s red or blue tunic, make a red or blue hat. Give the hat an extra inch for the seam allowance on both sides. In most of the games, Link wears a white, long-sleeve shirt under his tunic. You can buy a shirt like this from a thrift store. If you can’t find one in a store, try shopping around online. You might even have a shirt in your closet. A lot of costumes can be made with clothing you have on hand. If you can’t find a white, long-sleeve shirt with a collar, you can use a non-collared shirt, or one that’s laced up the front medieval style. You can order one like that online. Maybe a friend has a white shirt that fits you, and they’re willing to let you borrow or keep it. The tunic must be longer than the collared shirt. You can buy an over-sized T-shirt and modify it, or you can find a pattern online to sew the tunic from scratch. A plain, green, blue, or red tunic dress would also work. If you’re not on a tight budget, having a costume commissioned is another method of obtaining a tunic, but it would also be much more expensive than making your own Link costume. You can also buy a used Link costume, or just the tunic, from another cosplayer at a discount price. To modify an oversized shirt, lay a shirt that fits you on top of the large shirt. Take a marker and trace the outline of neck and sides the fitted shirt onto the large one. Just be sure to leave the bottom seam intact so the shirt is long enough to look like a tunic. Remove the small shirt, and use scissors to cut along the outline on the oversized shirt. Turn it inside out and pin the fabric in place to sew it evenly. You can sew by hand or sewing machine to finish the tunic. Leggings are widely available, and cheap if you buy them from dollar stores, thrift shops, or department stores. Ensure they are opaque, rather than translucent. Tight spandex pants or white long underwear would also work as Link’s leggings. The belt can be made of fake leather, real leather, or a combination of elastic and fake leather. An elastic belt would cinch the tunic’s waist to make it more form fitting. The buckle should be square and gold or yellow in color. Measure your waist before buying the belt. Link wears fingerless leather gauntlets that reach up to the middle of his arm. You can buy leather cosplay gloves online. You can also make Link’s gloves by cutting the fingers off of a pair of thick, leather gloves. Sew or draw a Triforce onto the back of the left glove. The Triforce is a symbol made up of 3 triangles that are stacked point-to-point. Link wears tall brown leather boots that reach to just below his knees. See if you can find some simple brown boots in your closet or at a shoe store. Or, make boot covers to fit over any pair of shoes you own. To make boot covers, put on a pair of boots or shoes and wrap brown, stretchy polyester-blend fabric up to your knees and all the way around your shoe. Use pins to close the fabric around your entire leg and shoe to mark where the seam will be. After pinning the fabric, cut off the excess material, but be sure to leave an extra 1 inch (2.5 cm) for a seam allowance. Sew the boot covers together using a zig-zag stitch so the seam stretches with the material., Summary: Select the right cultivar. Plan to plant in autumn or spring. Choose a spot that receives full sun. Look for areas of well-drained soil. Consider training the plant against a wall or fence.

Passage: It may seem like your parents are yelling for two or three hours, but if you look at the clock, you will see that very few parents have the stamina to do so. If you respond correctly to the yelling, your parents might stop. Tell yourself that you're strong enough to endure the yelling. All kids have to deal with yelling parents at least sometimes. Remain silent. If you speak, your parents will most likely take it as backtalk, rudeness, or lack of filial piety (even if your words are polite). They may also be in a bad mood in general and taking it out on you, even if you did nothing to make them yell. . Try to pay attention to how your body feels while you're being yelled at, with mindfulness. Chances are you are feeling tense and tightly wound. If this is the case, taking deep, measured breaths will help you remain calmer and looser. Sometimes detaching from harsh treatment is a good way to make sure that you don't take the yelling too personally. It's important not to take yelling personally because when parents are dealing with problems in other parts of life, they can end up angered by relatively minor things. This is not your fault. The best way to disengage while listening is to focus on your parents' faces. Notice the details of their features and the strain from yelling. Rather than trying to make sense of what your parent is saying, look at the desperation and frustration you see them experiencing. This way you will remember that even though you're the one being yelled at, your parents are going through a rough moment, too. Again, this may even be due to stress that you did not directly cause. For example, get them a glass of water if they are thirsty. This will, especially if you were not wrong, bring them to be remorseful and feel that they have done wrong by yelling. Make sure you don't have your head in the clouds completely--otherwise you won't know why your parent is upset. If the yelling subsides for long enough to step in, try paraphrasing or re-stating what your parents said to show that you are listening. An added perk is that your parents will have the chance to hear what they are yelling reflected back to them. Send signals to your parent that you are hearing them, like nodding your head, raising your eyebrows, saying "I see what you mean by that". Try to pick up on key words that will clue you in to where your parents' disappointment is coming from. If they're yelling about a particular instance, try to pick up on details that they seem to dwell on. If it's a long stream of moments, try to pick out the theme the runs through them. This includes stopping yourself from yelling back, throwing things, or slamming doors. Be aware that strong reactions on your part will simply escalate the tension and cause the yelling to continue and perhaps even grow in intensity. Your parent is angry for one reason or another, even if he/she is wrong in doing so, and the yelling is a sign of frustration and a desire to be heard by you. Respond with aggression will make them feel misunderstood, so more yelling will be likely in the future. Sometimes parents even take subtle signs of dissent as aggression (rolling your eyes, sarcasm, slightly mocking faces). So, these should also be reconsidered. Think about the reactions that you know from past experience that your parents can't stand. Even if you're tempted to get back at them for making you feel uncomfortable and inferior, do not engage in behavior you know triggers more anger in them. If the yelling continues to the point where you absolutely cannot respond calmly, resort to leaving the room. Ask if you can talk about the problem later, and briefly explain that the yelling is making it difficult to think clearly about the issue. Try not to sound accusatory by saying things like "your yelling is so annoying that it's driving me crazy." Instead, say something like "I want to clear up this problem, but I'm too flustered to be able to have a good discussion. I'd like to go to my room to think." Leaving the room can be difficult, as some parents may interpret it as a sign of disrespect. Do your best to make it clear that you still want to discuss the matter. Avoid suggesting that your parents need to calm down as well. This can come off as rude., Summary: Understand that yelling is not eternal. Do not speak, cry or whimper during the session of yelling. Breathe Let yourself disengage a little. Do a good deed for your parents. Keep listening. Think before responding . Leave the room politely if yelling seems excessive.

Q: Summarize the following: If possible, use the same saucepan you cooked the bagnet in from the recipe below. Place the 2 tablespoons of shrimp paste in the pan, and let it cook for a couple of minutes to release its flavor. Pour in a splash of oil to keep the ingredients from burning. Let them cook until the onions are lightly translucent. Add the three tomatoes in large chunks, the pinch of brown sugar, a dash of pepper, and a dash or two of patis. Stir it around for a few minutes. If you think some of your veggies, such as the eggplant, is too tough, you may need to add it in ahead of the other vegetables. Note that some recipes say to add the pork at the end rather than with the vegetables. Only add enough broth to give the vegetables some moisture. You don't want to cover the vegetables with broth. Cover the pot tightly, and let the stew cook for about 15 to 20 minutes. You can toss the vegetables by shaking the pot, but leave the lid on. At 15 minutes, check to see if the vegetables are tender. If they are, remove the pot from the stove. Plate the rice with the stew poured over the top., A: Cook the shrimp paste. Add the 4 to 6 minced garlic cloves, the inch of sliced ginger, and the cup of shallots or onions. Toss in the tomatoes, sugar, pepper, and patis. Add the pork and the rest of the vegetables. Pour in some broth. Cook for about 15 minutes. Check for tenderness. Serve over white rice.

Q: Summarize the following: Hold the base system beneath the faucet with the filter cup portion sitting to the left side of the faucet. This means that the Filter Replacement Indicator should be facing you. Note that these instructions are the same regardless of whether or not you used an adapter. If you used an adapter, the filtration system will be mounted to the adapter instead of the faucet itself, but the steps are otherwise identical. Hold the base system steady with one hand. Use your other hand to rotate the mounting collar at the top of the base system, twisting it onto the faucet or adapter until it feels snug. Tighten the mounting collar by hand. Do not use pliers since doing so could damage the threading. If you have trouble twisting the mounting collar in place, rotate the body of the base system back and forth while tightening the mounting collar. This may allow you to tighten the collar further. The mounting collar should be snug, but avoid over-tightening it since doing so could cause damage. Hold the filter cartridge over the filter cup on the base system. Push the cartridge down until it clicks into place. You should support the bottom of the base system with one hand as you insert the cartridge with your other hand. The insert groove near the bottom of the cartridge should line up with the filter replacement indicator and the front of the base system. Do not force the cartridge into the filter cup. If it does not glide into the cup smoothly, reposition it and try again. Tug on the cartridge, gently pulling it up, to verify that it has been engaged in the system. Once the filter cartridge has been engaged, the filter replacement indicator should reset itself and turn on. You should see a green flashing light. Move the filter handle toward you to activate the filtered water setting. Turn on your faucet and run cool water through it for five minutes. Only use cold to warm water. Do not use hot water. Flushing out the cartridge removes excess carbon dust and activates the filter. Do not be alarmed if you see carbon dust appear; this is normal., A: Check to see if your computer has a memory card slot. Plug your memory card into an adapter. Insert your memory card.

The answer of "Summarize the following The sell-by date may also appear as "not to be sold after" or "EXP." This date is, at most, 30 days from the day the eggs were packaged. Eggs that are kept refrigerated and are not broken should be good for at least 1 month beyond the sell-by date. The sell-by date appears as month/day in the United States. So eggs that must be sold by March 15th are labeled 03/15. "Sell-by" refers to the last date the eggs should be available for the public to purchase. Eggs should be pulled from the shelf after this date. It does not mean the eggs are bad or rotten after this date. The best-by date may also be labeled as "use by," "use before," or "best before." The best-by label must be within 45 days of the date the eggs were packaged. Try to use these eggs within two weeks after the best-by date. "Best-by" refers to the period of time eggs are at their peak freshness, with the best texture, flavor, and binding and thickening properties. It does not mean the eggs are bad or rotten after this date. Sell-by or best-by dates are not required by federal law (some states require them, other states forbid them), but all eggs must be labeled with the date they were packaged. This date usually appears as a 3 digit code using the Julian date calendar. This means eggs packaged on January 1st would be labeled 001, eggs packaged on October 15th would be labeled 288, December 31st 365. Look for the Julian date on the end of the carton. You'll see the plant code (a letter P followed by numbers) indicated where the eggs were packaged, and beside it you should find the Julian code. The European Union also requires that eggs are marked with a pack date. Even if eggs are sold loose and not in a marked carton, the consumer should have access to that information. Once an egg has cooled in your refrigerator, it is important to keep it at the same temperature. A cool egg in a warmer environment begins to sweat, which can encourage bacteria to grow on the outside of the egg. Because the egg shell is porous, it is sometimes possible for the bacteria on the shell to pass into through and contaminate the egg. To prevent temperature fluctuations, store your eggs in the coldest part of your refrigerator, not on the door. The temperature is more likely to fluctuate on the door when it is opening and closing, which may cause your eggs to sweat. If you receive your eggs unwashed and at room temperature, they do not need to be refrigerated. Many countries, including most European countries, keep their eggs at room temperature. This is safe because eggs are laid with a protective "bloom" which naturally keeps bacteria out. Once the eggs are washed, however, they must be refrigerated. Also, in most European countries, the hens have been inoculated against Salmonella prior to laying their eggs. If you have egg-laying hens and you're wondering when they will go bad, you can refer to your country's guidelines for freshness. It's a safe bet your eggs will be good for at least two months, if not more. If you're not sure how long you've had your fresh eggs or if you think they are older than two months, learn the signs of bad and old eggs to help you decide whether or not you should use them in your cooking." is Apply the wax. Remove wax with cloth strips. Repeat on all unwanted stomach hair.

The summary of "For this method, which is how many armed forces lace boots, you can use the laces that came with your boots, or ones of the same length. If you have an even number of eyelet pairs, you will start by threading the lace through the bottom eyelets from the inside and pulling the laces out. If you have an odd number of eyelet pairs, you will begin by threading the lace straight across the bottom eyelets from the outside in. Start with one end of your laces and run it diagonally through the inside of the next eyelet. For the second pair of eyelets closest to the bottom, you will lace the same way you did for the criss-cross lacing. Repeat with the other end of your laces. Be sure that your diagonal lace runs under your horizontal lace at the bottom, not on top of it. your laces should now have one criss-cross and be on the outside of your boot. On each side of your boot, you will now take the lace and run it directly through the eyelet directly above. Do this for both laces. Run your laces through the next eyelet by going outside in. You will now have one horizontal portion of your laces at the bottom eyelet, one criss-cross above it, and two eyelets with your laces running vertically through both. Your laces should be on the inside of your boot now. Alternate threading your laces diagonally and the over the top vertically. Keep the order in which you thread your laces consistent. If you always go right over left, do that for every diagonal lace, and vice-versa if you start left over right. You will end up with your laces on the inside of your boot. Here you can tie a bow like normal, or tuck the laces inside your boots if you want a cleaner look. If you have enough length, you can also wrap your laces around your boot and tie a knot in the front, tucking it behind the tongue." is Install Adblock Plus Click the Adblock Plus icon.

Context: Acrylic and other synthetic yarns do not take dye very well, if at all. Your yarn need to be 100% wool, such as alpaca or sheep. Other natural fibers, such as cotton, may also work. White yarn will give you the brightest colors. If you want a softer effect, try gray, cream, or beige instead. There are lots of things you can use to dye your yarn with, including liquid food coloring, gel food coloring, and flavored juice mix (ie: Kool Aid). You can also use professional dyes as well, but you'll need to use special utensils for that to avoid contaminating your cookware. You can use just one color, but two or three will make your yarn look more interesting., Summary: Practice often. Be professional. Be familiar with a variety of games.

Q: Summarize the following: Hold your infant and cuddle him. Do your best to calm and sooth him when he is fidgety. Some infants with CP are happier in a swing or crib during fussy periods. Talk, sing and play with your infant. Regardless of the possibility of CP, these activities are very important in the development of any infant. It is common for CP infants to experience feeding problems, so it's important to monitor your baby's weight gain. If your infant cannot support his head or sit during bath time, be sure to use a baby seat with a slight slope. Get one that will support his head and back during the bath. There is always the risk of your CP infant having a seizure. Make certain he is safe and cannot harm himself during a seizure. Remain with him until the seizure is over. Knowing how to deal with seizures is a vital part of your infant's care. As your infant begins eating solid food, she may be more prone to swallowing difficulties, making choking more of a concern. Special vitamin supplements can help fight colds and other respiratory infections. An infant with CP is more prone to infection and may have a suppressed immune system., A: Evaluate your curtain fabric. Use starch when recommended. Iron the back of the curtain for further heat protection. Take extra care with silk or satin curtains. Iron pleats to make them more pronounced.

The answer of "Summarize the following There are thousands of different coin styles out there ranging in size, denomination, origin, age, and rarity. Though it may seem daunting at first, picking a style of coin to search for will keep you focused and make the hunt far more enjoyable. Remember, there’s no right way to collect, so pick a type of coin that speaks to you. Some ideas include: A penny from each year you’ve been alive. One of every coin available in the US since World War II. One of every country’s lowest-valued coin from the year you were born. Old, rare, misprinted, and uncirculated coins are cool, but they are also incredibly expensive. Cheaper alternatives include generally circulated coins, which can be found by digging through pocket change and bank rolls, or special currencies released in the recent past, like the US State Quarters line. Many foreign coins sell for far less than their US counterparts. For budget collecting, look for 5 cent pieces from the Netherlands (1913-40), Canada (1922-36), and France (1898-1921) or coins from small countries like Luxembourg. When looking for collectibles, keep your eyes open for flat, non-dented coins with few scuffs and scratches. Look for coins that have retained most of their reflective properties, meaning they have not changed hands often. Even if a coin is 500 years old, collectors should expect it to be in reasonably good condition. When possible, purchase coins that have been graded for quality and authenticity by groups like the American Numismatic Association. For specialty coins, make sure they come with a certificate of authenticity from the original mint. Once you have a few coins in your collection, you can begin to swap coins with other collectors. You can either swap online on sites like Numista or you can swap with a local coin collector near you. When swapping online, most of the time you will send and receive the coins via the mail." is Find a type of coin to collect. Find a good price range for you. Look for coins with little wear. Look for coins that have been verified by outside sources. Feel free to swap.

Q: Summarize the following: The can should have a shiny surface to reflect light and heat away. Metal is the best material to use for this particular experiment. Fill the can about 2/3 full, leaving enough space to add ice cubes. Add the cubes gradually, stirring the ice water mixture with a thermometer as you do so. This will keep the can surface the same temperature as the water. Continue adding ice, a few cubes at a time. Stir after each addition until the cubes have melted. Keep adding ice until you see water condense on the outside of the can. This is the dew point temperature. The dew point is the temperature at which water completely saturates the air and water vapor condenses. The can and water are a simplified form of a chilled mirror hygrometer, a device with electronic sensors which meteorologists use to measure dew point. The higher the dew point temperature, the more someone will feel the moisture in the air., A: Use a collar if your horse is pulling a heavy carriage. Use a breast strap if you are driving a lighter cart. Buckle the traces to the collar or breast strap on both sides of the horse. Place the saddle and breeching around the horse’s body. Fasten the crupper around the horse’s tail.

The summary of "To get your creative juices flowing, sit down and write as many keywords and terms you can think of about the subject. Try to be specific as you make this list, as you can then use it to pull words for your poem later. For example, if you are writing about tennis, you may write down “strings”, “grass”, “sweat”, “armbands”, “two handed forearm”, “tingling hands”. If you were writing about an object of sentimental value, like your grandmother’s watch, you may write down terms that relate to both your grandmother and the watch. For example, “ancient”, “ticking”, “light colored”, “delicate”, “wise”. Use sensory detail to really make your poem come alive. Consider how the subject of your poem might, smell, sound, look, taste, and feel. Include sensory details whenever possible to make your poem feel more descriptive. For example, maybe in your poem about tennis, you write about the smell of the grass courts, the sound of the ball hitting your racket, or the taste of sweat on your lips as you play a match. You may focus more on short descriptions of these sensory details, as your shape may only allow you to include a few lines of text. Many shape poems use literary devices like rhyme, repetition, and metaphor. These devices can be a good way to inject energy and engagement into your poem. Rhyme: This is a pattern of words that produce the same sound or similar sounds. Rhyme is often used in shape poems as a way to tie the lines together, especially if your shape creates breaks or gaps between the lines of text. For example, in Schondelmeyer’s “Butterfly”, the author has rhyming lines: “Oh what a beautiful creature, does it fly/ it floats by/and flutters high/I think it’s called a butterfly…” Repetition: This is a pattern of the same words that repeat in sequence. Many shape poems use the repetition of words to create the shape of the poem or to reinforce the shape. For example, Charles’ “Concrete Cat” repeats the word “stripe” to create the striped lines on the cat’s body and repeats the word “whiskers” to create the whiskers of the cat. Metaphor: Metaphors are used often in poetry. In metaphor, a meaning or identity is given to the subject by way of another subject. For example, if you are writing about tennis, you may use the metaphor: “The racket is my sword in battle, the court is my green battlefield.”" is Select the correct Formica or other laminate for your project. Lightly sand the surface on which you will install the Formica. Measure the length and width of the areas where you will install Formica. Place the Formica on a flat, stable surface. Mark the measurements on the back of the Formica sheet, adding 1 inch (2.5 cm) to each measurement. Apply masking tape along the lines. Cut the Formica along straight lines Use a different tool to make curved adjustments (if applicable).

Passage: A clear parking area will allow you to freely move around your car to fill up tires without anything getting in the way. Parking on a level surface will make it easier for you to balance and operate your pump. If you don't have a suitable clear, flat surface at home, you might park in the street or a neighbor's driveway. Driving on tires that are flat can damage your tire or deform the rims of your wheels, causing expensive damage. Drive as little as possible on flat tires. The valve cap for each tire will be on the sidewall of the tire, positioned closely to the metal of the wheel's rim. Generally, these caps are screw-on. Unscrew the valve caps for all tires. Valve caps are small and easy to lose. To prevent yours from getting lost, keep them in a sealable container, like a plastic baggie or a lidded plastic container. This value will be in PSI (pounds per square inches). The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle is generally written on a sticker inside of the driver's door. Open this door and inspect it for a tag indicating the ideal air pressure. If you can't find the tire pressure information on your door, or if the information is unreadable, tire pressure information can be found in your car's manual. In the rare case that you lack both the tire pressure door sticker and your car's manual, you can look up the optimal air pressure for your car and tire online. For some vehicles, the recommended tire pressure for front and back tires may be different. Wait for three hours after driving for the most accurate reading. Inspect the tire pressure gauge and tire valve to make sure these are free of dirt or grit. This can sometimes get caught in a valve, making it leak, difficult to pump, or difficult to take a pressure reading. Take your gauge and: Position it on top of the stem the tire valve. Press the gauge into the valve firmly until the sound of escaping air ceases, then release. Look at the reading on your gauge. Many common gauges have a slide reader that pops out of the base of your gauge after taking the reading. Compare this reading to the recommended PSI to determine whether your tire needs air. Repeat this for all tires on your vehicle., Summary: Park on a clear, flat surface. Remove valve caps. Determine the optimal pressure for your tires. Check tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge.

Q: Summarize the following: After you have test placed it a few times, you should be able to narrow down how much of the axe's top handle needs shortening. The handle should be able to fit all the way into the axe blade's eye. If it can't fit, narrow it down to a point where it could fit into and fil all of the hollow space within the blade. A rasp is a serrated tool meant to cut down wood smoothly. Files and rifflers may also be used to file down a length of wood. Allow at least half an inch between the bottom of the kerf and the main handle. Filling in the opening on the other side of the axe's eye will prevent it from moving around as much. You can do this by lightly tapping a thin wedge of wood into the kerf, and securing it with layers of carpenter's glue. To secure it further after wedging the kerf, add metal wedges by hammering them into place. This will add another layer of protection to your axe and help ensure that the kerf's wedge doesn't fall out of place. Adding the wedges diagonally can help improve stability. After you've worked on securing the handle from protruding side, it's a good idea to saw it down. Sawing down the protruding side will maximize the force of your swing. Keep a few millimetres on the end of the handle for good measure. If you have followed through with all of the stability measures and still aren't sure the handle will hold, you can fill whatever cracks that remain with glue. Using glue may make it difficult to replace this handle when its use runs out. If you're the sort of person who goes through a lot of axe handles, it may be best to skip out on the glue. Chair Doctor is a highly recommended product for this. It is a thin viscosity liquid designed to fill in loose gaps. Bottles of mineral oil are relatively cheap, and can be used to restore life to a drab handle. Drip some mineral oil into a handcloth and apply it consistently to the axe handle. Let it sit for a few minutes afterwards while the oils soak in. Because oil will help block out moisture, it's especially important to use mineral oil on your handle if you're using or storing the axe in a moisture-heavy environment. After you replace the handle, it should serve you well for months or years to come. Your handle's longevity will depend on how well you take care of the axe. Don't swing it irresponsibly, and store it in a safe place when you're done with it. Excess force in your axe swing can be avoided if you remember to sharpen the axe's blade regularly. Always use a proper chopping block. Making sure the object you're chopping has a solid foundation will limit the risk of potential injury., A: Plan your delivery route of the tub from the curb to the foundation. Assemble the hot tub and hook up the electricity. Prepare the hot tub for use.

Passage: Submerge the plastic in the bleach and water solution for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure the plastic is completely covered in the solution. Use gloves when you submerge the plastic to avoid injury. Thoroughly rinse the plastic with water to remove the bleach solution. Air dry the plastic by letting it sit out for about 30 minutes or until completely dry., Summary: Soak the plastic. Rinse and dry the plastic.

The summary of "Even if it's difficult, make an effort to be supportive of your friend's move. As hard as the move is on you, the stress is likely worse for your friend. He or she has to cope with the stress of packing and planning, not to mention the stress involved with moving to a new community. You want to make sure you're supportive of your friend right up until he or she moves away. This can help you end things on a good note. Listen if your friend needs to talk. He or she may feel stressed, sad, or otherwise upset about the coming move. Be a good friend and offer a listening ear. Allow your friend to vent his or her frustrations to you. While it's okay to tell your friend you're going to miss him or her, avoid stressing your friend out further. Even if you're sad your friend is moving, try to express genuine happiness for him or her. Wish your friend good luck on his or her big move. Like anything he or she posts on Facebook regarding the move. Try to help your friend get excited. Look up new things for your friend to do in his or her new home. Memories are important to help you cope with a friend's move. You may feel less sad about your friend leaving if you have tangible memories on hand. Try to take some pictures, videos, and voice recordings of you and your friend. This can help the two of you say goodbye. You'll feel less sad about your friend's absence if you know you have something to remember him or her by. As stated, your friend is probably already overwhelmed with his or her move. You do not want to dump your sadness on your friend. Seek out support from other friends and family members. Talk to them about how you're feeling about saying goodbye to your friend. Ask someone if you can talk to them first, explaining you need to sort out your feelings about your friend's coming move. Ask them if they can simply listen to you talk for a bit, and then let them know how you're feeling. Choose someone who's empathetic, like a kind older relative or close mutual friend. Select someone who's listened to you in the past when you've been going through difficult times. A goodbye party can be a great way to mark the end of an era. Ask your mutual friends if they'd consider getting together to say goodbye to the friend who's moving. This will give your friend a chance to talk to everyone one last time. Consider planning some party events that help promote closure. For example, you could all give a brief speech saying goodbye. You could also all sign a goodbye card for your friend. Do not expect a goodbye party to be all fun and games. You should expect there will be some tears and sadness as well. This is normal. Do not try to force your friend or your guests to only experience feelings of happiness. Consider giving your friend a goodbye gift. This can help both of you feel some closure. Your friend will have something to remember you by, and you'll feel like you're getting a chance to say goodbye in an official way. You do not have to spend a lot of money on a goodbye gift. It can be something sentimental that reflects your relationship. For example, if you and your friend loved a particular coffee shop, buy him or her a cheap mug from that shop. You can also make a creative gift for your friend. Write him or her a poem commemorating your friendship. Make a collage of photos of the two of you." is Open the Photos app. Click on Albums.

Passage: Like many building projects, installing a wood stove may require permission from your local government to ensure that you comply with safety regulations. However, rules will vary from town to town, so, before you buy a stove or start modifying your house, get in touch with the building or planning department of your city or town's government to get a sense of what is and isn't legal. If you need to get a building permit to install your stove, the officials in this department should be able to help you get one. You may also want to call your local fire marshal, as, in some jurisdictions, installing a wood stove requires an inspection to approve the validity of the installation. Finally, you may also want to contact the issuer of your homeowner's insurance, as installing a wood stove may change your liability. Floor pads are essential for safe wood stove operation, as they ensure that any stray sparks or embers that fall from the stove will only come into contact with the pad, not the floor, reducing the risk of fire. Floor pads are especially crucial in the case of houses with wood or carpet floors directly adjacent to the stove. Certain laws dictate the use of floor pads - in the United States and Canada, the floor pad must stretch at least 18 inches (45 cm) in front of the stove door and 8 inches (20 cm) from the other sides. Installing heat shielding on the walls around the site of your stove can further reduce the risk of damage or fire. Heat shields are often made of sheet metal, which is relatively simple to lay over existing walls. Check your local building codes to find out whether any special permission is needed to mount the shield as well as any other related clearance requirements. Note that the installation of a heat shield can reduce the clearance requirements of your stove. If you haven't hired professional movers to help you get your stove into position, you'll need to move it yourself. Wood stoves are made from metal and can be incredibly heavy, so be sure to take any and all measures necessary to protect yourself as you move the stove. A sturdy dolly or hand truck that's rated above the weight of your stove is a great way to get the stove to its position without hurting yourself. Minor adjustments to the stove's positioning at the site of installation may need to be done by hand, in which case you should enlist the help of a friend or family member so that you don't have to bear the full weight of the stove yourself. You may also want to try rolling the stove into position on lengths of sturdy PVC pipe. A well-functioning chimney is absolutely crucial for getting the most out of your wood stove. Your chimney should carry smoke and sediment safely outside your house - a poorly-installed chimney may not effectively remove the smoke, leaving your living room a gloomy, smokey mess. Chimneys can be an existing part of the house's construction or can be installed along with the stove, but in either case, the chimney must be well insulated and made of a non-combustible material. New chimneys installed for wood stoves are often made of a special kind of insulated stainless steel piping. You may need to use a length of stovepipe to connect your wood stove to the chimney. This is fine, but remember that stovepipe is relatively thin and poorly-insulated, so by no means can stovepipe be used as a substitute for an actual insulated chimney. Generally, the taller and straighter a chimney is, the better. The greater distance that smoke must travel horizontally (through curved sections of stovepipe, for instance), the less effective the chimney will be at removing smoke from the stove. Installed properly, wood stoves can be a tremendous boon for your house, but installed improperly, they can be a hassle and even a serious danger. If you encounter any problems while installing your wood stove or you are unsure of how to proceed safely, enlist the help of a professional. Similarly, if, after installation, you have even the slightest doubts about the safety of your stove, schedule an inspection with an expert. The safety of your home and family is well worth the minor expense of hiring outside help. The National Fireplace Institute (NFI) is an agency that certifies fireplace and furnace experts. If you have any doubts about who to contact to install and/or inspect your new wood fireplace, search for an NFI-certified expert in your area on the NFI website., Summary: Don’t eat for 3 hours before going to sleep. Go for a 15- or 20-minute walk after eating so food works through your system. Practice stress-relieving techniques so your body processes food easier.

Q: Summarize the following: Even for brief thank-you notes, the type and quality of paper can say a lot by itself. Professional letters should be printed on a strong grade of paper that won't accidentally tear. On the other hand keep in mind that a more simple note or memo isn't expected to be as formal, so you needn't worry about going out of your way to buy the very best if it's not available. In the case of a simple, short note, you should make sure the paper is small too. A few sentences scrawled on a big sheet of paper will look uninvolved. Post-it notes are usually small and perfect for quick thank-you notes. As opposed to a quick note, a professional letter tends to be leagues more formal and serious. This entails sticking to pre-defined guidelines for letter writing. Include your name, the date and the addressee at the top of the letter. Type using a standard font (such as Times New Roman) and size (12). Include your signature at the bottom. This will give even a typed letter a personal touch. Although you will have more opportunity in a longer letter to go into detail, like the short note, you will still want to economize on what you're saying. In the first sentence or two, clearly state that you are thankful and why you are thankful. Due to the effort involved in writing a letter, it should be understood that the help will have been significant as well. If you think the person involved meant the difference between your success and failure, it's a good idea to write a letter. Compared to a simple note, you can go into more detail about what you're thankful for with a professional letter, and explain how their part has benefited you. For example, if he vouched for you at a meeting, you can expand upon your gratitude by noting all the career doors their support has opened for you. For example: "I am writing to thank you for the help you offered at the board meeting today. The advice would offered to me beforehand proved invaluable, and the professionalism, work ethic and integrity you exhibit on a daily basis is a true example for the rest of the company to follow."" Although your letter should still be a few paragraphs at max, you should still make sure to repeat points of interest, most notably your gratitude and the importance. Giving the recipient a feeling of personal importance will make him that much more likely to help you again in the future. For example, if the recipient helped you through openly vouching for a project idea of yours, you can explain specifically how that will help you in the long run: "Thanks to you vouching for me, I'll have my chance to show what a capable and innovative worker I am. I am confident that this tentative project will be a great success, and I am certain they'll want to see a lot more of me once it's done!" In a letter, it's important to leave the door open for future correspondence. Stressing that you would like to continue and develop a professional relationship with them will add substance to your gratitude, and make the recipient feel like his help has been taken to heart. The first and last thing the recipient reads will be the most memorable parts of the message, so it's important to end the message with another thank you before your name. Keep the thank you formal, but don't be afraid to dress up the gratitude a bit. For example, writing "A thousand sincere thanks!" sounds more impassioned than a basic "Thank you". at the end if you're on personal terms. If you and the recipient are friends or connected in some way beyond a purely professional capacity, adding a P.S. at the end with a less formal greeting is a great way to add warmth to an otherwise austere correspondence. If the person knows you well enough, you'll want to let your personality shine through. For example: "P.S: If this interview goes through, I'll buy us a round at the pub this weekend! Or, if you and the recipient are on equal footing in the career hierarchy: "P.S: I'll make sure to do the same for you next time! Together we'll be heading straight to the top!" A good professional letter will take much longer to plan than to write. Writing a second version will take a fraction of the time as the original, and on your second time around you'll be able to make it as good as you want it to be. Decide what parts of your letter you like the most, and do without the weaker elements, replacing them instead with sentences and ideas you think will best convey what you're trying to say. If you're having any confusion regarding whether your letter works or not, try reading it out loud. You'll find reciting the letter (or any written document, for that matter) will bring attention to issues and areas for improvement you wouldn't normally pick up from reading alone. Once you've finished the draft, you should print it off as soon as possible and give it your signature in pen. Even with a typed document, you still want to give it a personal touch. A good way to cap off a professional letter is to type your full name, then make your pen-made signature right below it., A: Use high quality paper. Adhere to a business letter format. Specify your reasons for thanking in the first sentence. Stress the importance the recipient's help has had. Mention an openness for future aid and communication towards the end of your letter. End with a reiteration of thank you. Add a P.S. Complete a first draft, then edit and re-do. Print onto good paper and sign your name.

Q: Summarize the following: Regular light bulbs usually have a yellowish, unnatural glow. Fortunately, even if you can't bring actual outside light into your home, you can replicate it using LEDs. Just buy LED light bulbs that are the right size and wattage for your fixtures, then screw them into the fixtures throughout your home. LED bulbs come with different K ratings. The higher the rating, the cooler and whiter the lighting will be. A bulb with a 5,000K to 6,000K rating will be the most similar to natural light. However, you might want to use bulbs with that high of a K rating sparingly since they could be too bright. You can find LEDs online or at your local home improvement center. You can use floor lamps, desk lamps, string lights, pendants, or any other kind of fixture you like. The more you have, the brighter your space will feel. If you're not sure where to start, look around your home for shaded spots or dark corners. Then, think about what kind of fixture you could fit in those spaces to brighten them up. Fabric shades trap light and channel it straight down, so they're not the best if you want your home to have a bright, open feel. When you're choosing fixtures, look for ones that have glass or wire around where the bulb goes, since they'll shine more light into your home. If you don't want to buy all new fixtures, see if you can replace the fabric shades on your current fixtures with glass or wire ones. For light fixtures that you can move around, like floor and desk lamps, try placing them next to any light-colored walls in your home. The light will reflect off the walls, making the space brighter., A: Swap out your light bulbs with LEDs for brighter and whiter indoor lighting. Add extra light fixtures to any rooms you want to brighten up. Use light fixtures that don't have fabric shades since they'll emit more light. Position your light fixtures strategically so the light is reflecting off your walls.

Q: Summarize the following: Your dog will need vaccinating against various canine infectious diseases. Exactly which diseases depends on which infections are prevalent in your area, so your veterinarian should advise you about which vaccinations are needed. The vet will select those diseases with are common in the area (core) and those less common (non-core) and discuss which are most appropriate for your dog. The vaccinations your dog might get include distemper, parvovirus, canine adenovirus, leptospirosis, infectious canine hepatitis, parainfluenza virus and Lyme disease. In addition, a vaccination against rabies is obligatory in many states and you will be breaking the law not to comply. Different vaccines are given at different ages. Typically the rabies vaccine is given as a single dose after 12 weeks of age, repeated every 1 to 3 years (depending on the manufacturer) or if given earlier (some brands can be given from 4 weeks of age,) a second dose must be given at or after 12 weeks of age. Other vaccinations are given in three doses 3 - 4 weeks apart, with the final dose always falling around 16 weeks of age. This is so the puppy receives protection from the vaccine at a young age, but not so early that it doesn't get the effect of antibodies derived from the mother. By 16 weeks of age, these maternal antibodies have waned and so once vaccinated the pup will be protected for approximately a year. At one-year-old the puppy will get the first booster injection. Your Cavalier should receive yearly booster injections according to the protocol advised by your vet. Deworming medications come in a wide variety of forms, including tablets, oral liquids or granules, and spot-on products. Each product has a slightly different spectrum of activity, so your vet is the best resource to discuss what's best for your pet. A basic worming regime is against roundworms (monthly) with a quarterly broad spectrum wormer against whipworms and tapeworms. Treatment against heartworm is also advisable, either as a six-monthly injection, or a monthly spot-on treatment at home. Fleas are unpleasant and can cause skin allergies and infections if left untreated. If your Cavalier spends a lot of time outdoors, another common parasite you should have it treated for are ticks, which also carry unpleasant diseases such as Lyme's disease or tick-borne fever. Prevention is better than cure, so this involves using a product effective against fleas and ticks, such as fipronil (Frontline or Effipro) or the Seresto collar. Neutering or spaying should be discussed with your veterinarian. It is usual to operate on females from 4 - 6 months of age, and males around 6 -10 months of age, however, this varies depending on the individual vet clinic. The obvious advantage of neutering is that it prevents unscheduled breeding. It can also protect the female dog against mammary cancer, if surgery is performed before the bitch's second heat. If your Cavalier does develop health problems, such as syringomyelia or a heart murmur, then you must absolutely not breed from the dog. Breeding a dog with hereditary diseases risks passing the problem down to future generations., A: Make cookie balls or truffles. Use crushed Oreos in pie crust.

The answer of "Summarize the following Thieves move around a lot, so they prefer to do business using a cell phone. They also probably don’t have a fixed address, either. When you go to look at the car, ask the seller where they live and work. If they hesitate, then you may be buying a stolen car. Although many legitimate sales occur this way, most stolen vehicles are also advertised online or in the newspaper. It’s always better to buy from a reputable dealer or from someone you know personally. Check a dealer’s reputation at the Better Business Bureau website. You want some sort of document that establishes you bought the car. If the seller hesitates to give this to you, then you should walk away. Typically, you’ll want a bill of sale, which should include the following information: car’s make, model, and year VIN seller’s name and address your name and address amount of the sale seller’s signature and date If you’re shocked at what a great deal you’re getting, then chances are something is amiss. Ask questions about why the seller is trying to sell the vehicle so cheaply. If the story doesn’t add up, then walk away." is Proceed cautiously if the seller uses a cell phone. Be careful of cars advertised online or in the newspaper. Demand a bill of sale. Be wary of any deal that is too good to be true.

Context: Whether this is a preliminary hearing or the final hearing, you, as the petitioner, must be present. If you fail to appear, your divorce could be seriously delayed or even dismissed. Be on time. Give yourself plenty of time to park and find the courthouse. Arrange for childcare, judges do not typically allow children in the courtroom and they can't be left unattended. You can bring a companion for assistance and moral support, but your friend cannot come up to the table with you. Stand when you are addressing the judge and answer all questions. If you don't understand a question, ask the judge to explain. You are divorced as soon as the judge signs the orders. You and your ex-spouse can begin separating property and arranging child visitation. You can make copies of your divorce decree as needed for changing your name on your identification, leases, contracts, and for your child's school. Most entities will accept a photocopy of the decree. However, some agencies or organizations may require a certified copy of the decree. Contact the court clerk for instructions on how to order certified copies. There may be a small fee for this service. Even though the judge's signature granted your divorce, it is not legally finalized until 31 calendar days after the divorce decree is filed with the court. This is the appeal period where your spouse can file an appeal to change the terms of the agreement. This is extremely rare and very difficult to do, so don't worry. The primary significance of this is that you cannot get married until the 31-day period has expired., Summary: Give them time to mourn. Encourage them to wait before adopting a new dog.

Context: Toward the end of a pregnancy, many women have trouble getting comfortable enough for a good night of sleep. If this is the case, you should take naps during the day in order to be sure that your body is getting enough rest. If necessary, you should arrange for a sitter or a family member to help when there are other children in the family so that you can get some sleep. Since you and your baby are getting nutrients from the food that you eat, it is important for you to eat often and focus on foods that are healthy instead of foods with low nutritional values. It is alright to satisfy a craving for something of little nutritional worth, but it should be done in moderation. Usually a few bites should satisfy the craving. It is also important to get enough liquids, especially water. Constipation is common in pregnant women because the intestine muscles relax and reduce their ability to push food through your system. Constipation can lead to stomach pains and a generally sense of sluggishness. Cope with constipation by eating fiber-rich foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and dried fruit all contain fiber. Walk or do light exercise because physical activity can help to get your intestines working. Swelling is one of the accompanying symptoms of late pregnancy that occurs due to the pressure of the uterine vessels, water retention and a lack of protein intake. Drink plenty of water so that you and your baby stay hydrated, especially if it is hot outside. Staying hydrated can help to keep your body from retaining water and making you swell up. Eat plenty of meat, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and cereals. Do not eat too much spicy or salty food. These two food groups may make your body retain fluid that can lead to swelling in your arms and legs. Leg cramps and restless leg syndrome are common in the last week of pregnancy. The reasons could be lack of calcium, magnesium, or poor circulation. Calcium is an electrolyte that helps in the transmission of signals through the body. Include dairy products in your diet like milk,yogurt or cheese, as these are all rich in calcium. Magnesium affects the muscles and their contractions. Try to eat cereals, nuts, and soy that are all rich in magnesium. A warm bath before bed help to control restless leg syndrome. This is a common discomfort during pregnancy. When your intestines do not work as efficiently as normal, food can remain in your large intestine for a long period of time, causing heartburn. On top of that, your baby is pressing on your stomach, so food and acid can get squished back up out of your stomach and cause heartburn. To deal with heartburn: Eat smaller meals and avoid fatty and spicy foods. Do not lie down immediately after eating. Wait two to three hours. During pregnancy, the organs in your body move and make space for your baby as he or she grows. These moving organs can affect your backbone, causing back pain. To ease your pain: Try to avoid standing in the same position for a long period of time. Elevate your legs when you sit down. Wear flat shoes. A growing baby causes your uterus to expand, which in turn can put pressure on your diaphragm. This pressure can make you feel like you can't catch your breath. Try to control this discomfort by sleeping in a half-seated position and by slowing down your physical activities. Due to the increased pressure of the uterus on the veins of your abdomen, your flow of blood can slow down in the area around your rectum This can cause hemorrhoids, which can be uncomfortable and, at times, painful. To reduce your chances of developing hemorrhoids, try to avoid constipation (see Step 3 of this section for more information)., Summary: Make sure that you are getting enough rest. Eat as healthily as possible. Reduce constipation. Avoid swelling. Reduce leg cramps. Cope with heartburn. Reduce back pain. Deal with any shortness of breath. Avoid hemorrhoids .

Q: Summarize the following: If you have a linear function that’s not in the standard form, you’ll need to rewrite it before you can make a graph. Say you have the function 6x – 2y = 4. Move everything but y to the left, as follows. Then divide both sides by -2.You now have the standard form of a linear function: y = 3x – 2. You know your graph will be a straight line because you have a linear function; therefore, you really need only two points. In general, though, you should find three points instead, to check for accuracy. In the rewritten example above, you might choose to use -1, 0, and 1 as your x values. Solve as follows. Plot your points on the coordinate system, using the values you got from solving your three equations. In the example above, your points would look like this. For any two points, there is only one way to connect them with a straight line. Use a ruler to join them with a straight line. Note that if you graph three points, and they don’t all lie on the same line, then you’ve made a mistake somewhere. Go back and calculate again.

Q: Summarize the following: As a proper young lady, go for pieces of clothing in flattering cuts that provide a bit more coverage. Clothing is one of the ways that you outwardly express yourself. By choosing pieces in classic cuts that aren’t overly showy, you’ll send the message that you are a self-respecting, proper young lady. A midi dress or skirt with a demure, ruffled top is a great option for fancier social events.

The answer of "Summarize the following to your dog. Barks, growls, yelps, and howls all carry their own unique language indicators that can take time to learn but are also an important part of understanding your dog's overall behavior. Many people think a bark is a bark is a bark. As you begin to really listen you will hear very distinct differences in the types of vocalizations. Note that a lack of barking or other dog noises can indicate a predatory state, aimed at not alerting the prey. This may also be accompanied by sniffing the air, keeping low, remaining rigid, ears flicking forward and backward to catch sounds, mouth closed and eyes wide open. Equally, no noise can indicate a submissive dog seeking approval. Dogs bark for different reasons, and observation and listening can help you learn to differentiate your dog's distinctive barks in different situations. A loud, high pitched, rapid bark can be either aggressive or territorial. A short, frequent guttural alert bark is aimed at warning the pack (wolf or human) of potential danger. It may be accompanied by snarling or growling. A crisp, short bark is usually a form of greeting from your dog. A high-pitched bark is often delivered when your dog is being playful. A short, high bark is a sign of friendliness, and may be accompanied by whimpering or yapping. A sudden high-pitched, sharp yelp may be an indication that your dog is in pain. A low-pitched, single or spaced out bark is another warning to back off. Growling in a strange dog can be somewhat frightening, but not every growl is aggressive. Your dog may growl as part of play or as an alternative form of verbal communication to barking. You should use caution, however, with any dog growls because even a playing dog that has become too boisterous and carried away in play may still snap at a human who intervenes or gets too close. A low, quiet growl indicates that the subject of the growl needs to back off. It is a sign of assertiveness in a dominant dog. A low growl ending with short bark is the sound made when your dog is responding to threat. It can be a prelude to a snap. A medium growl, leading to or combined with bark indicates that your dog feels nervous, and possibly aggressive. You should proceed with caution. Low sustained growl or 'woofing' is an indication that your dog is feeling either anxious or suspicious. A low murmuring grumble is a lovely sign of contentment. Soft growling is generally play growling; assess it by taking in the context and the general stance of your dog. Play growling will often be accompanied by excited barking. Knowing the different reasons that your dog may howl can help you respond to his/her needs. There are several different kinds of howling that have different meanings. A long, sustained howl indicates separation or loneliness. If your new dog or puppy was separated from other dogs to join your home, he/she may howl at first. Keeping his/her close to you can help him/her feel less lonely. A short howl with rising pitch generally signals that your dog is happy and/or excited. Baying is a hunting signal and can be common in breeds who are bred to hunt, even if your dog has never had any training as a hunting dog. A siren howl is a response to another howl or a sustained noise. You may notice that your dog howls in response to sirens going by your home. If your dog howls at night, he may be howling in response to other dog howling that is out of the range of human hearing. Another type of vocalization given by dogs is whining. Like barking, howling, and growling, whining or whimpering may mean different things in different contexts. Short whines accompanied by short barks indicate that your dog is eager, curious, and excited. Short whimpers are often a sign of fear or anxiety. A low-pitched whine indicates that your dog is mildly anxious or submissive. A persistent, high-pitched whine can be a plea for attention, reflect intense anxiety, or indicate severe discomfort or pain." is Listen Recognize your dog’s barks. Interpret your dog’s growls. Understand why dogs howl. Learn to differentiate whines and whimpers.

The answer of "Summarize the following As its name suggests, one of the main causes of heat rash is exposure to hot weather that encourages sweating. The less you sweat, the less sweat will build up behind your blocked pores and the less irritated your rash will be. Thus, the more time you can spend out of hot weather, the better. If you have access to it, spending time in an air-conditioned area is a very good idea. Not only does air conditioning make the air cooler — it also makes it much less humid. This is a big help when it comes to fighting heat rash, as high humidity keeps sweat from evaporating, worsening heat rash. If you're suffering from heat rash, it's wise to wear clothes that exposes your skin to fresh air. This gives the sweat and moisture on the skin a chance to evaporate and prevents moisture from building up around the rash like it would with tight clothing. It's not just about the clothes you wear — it's also about what they're made of. Fabrics like cotton and more breathable, jersey-like exercise weaves tend to be best, while sheer artificial fabrics like nylon and polyester are least breathable. If you're in hot weather, you may not want to wear clothes that outright expose your skin (like shorts, tank tops, etc.) These garments run the risk of sunburn, which will just make your skin more irritated and vulnerable to damage. Apply sunscreen generously or stick to loose but skin-covering clothes. Manual workers such as lawn mowers may try wetting their clothes before work. They should wear long sleeves and continue to add moisture to the clothes to prevent heat rash. Exercise raises your body temperature and makes you sweat — exactly what you don't want when you have a heat rash. Though physical activity is great for long-term health, in the short term, it can keep a heat rash from healing and even make it worse. Take the opportunity to avoid intense physical activities while you're waiting for your rash to get better, especially if you would be doing them in hot, humid environments. This includes: Sports Hiking Running Weightlifting/calisthenics ...and so on. Sometimes, especially in hot and humid climates, it can be difficult to keep heat rash-affected skin completely dry, even if you avoid exercise. In these cases, try applying a small amount of talcum powder, baby powder, or corn starch (in a pinch) to the affected area. These powders absorb moisture, keeping the skin dry. Try to shower first, dry, and then apply the powder. Corn starch can be more effective if you are able spend some time without a shirt on at home. Don't use scented or perfumed powders, which can irritate rash-affected skin. You also will not want to apply any sort of powder to open wounds, as this can lead to infection. Keeping the skin clean is important when you have virtually any kind of rash. Dirt, grime, and bacteria can all make a heat rash worse by starting an infection, but regular bathing (at least once per day while you have a rash) can help keep your skin free of these contaminants. When you do bathe, don’t rub yourself dry with the towel. Instead, let the water gradually air dry or pat it dry with your towel. Towels can irritate the skin further and transfer infection-causing bacteria on to it. When you have a heat rash, remember — you don't have to wear the same clothes all day. If your work or other responsibilities keep you from wearing the sorts of breathable clothes that are best for heat rash, take them off when you get a chance to rest. This isn't an ideal situation, but giving the skin a chance to breathe some of the time is better than never giving it a chance to breathe at all. For example, let's say you're in a hot, humid jungle and you have heat rash on your foot. However, your work requires you to wear thick rubber boots. In this case, you might try switching to a loose pair of sandals at the end of each day after your cool-off shower. Exposing your heat rash to fresh air as often as possible will only help your situation." is Find a paper model alphabet online. Use an image editor to decorate. Print your letters.

Context: In large qualities, saffron will produce a bitter flavor. It's best to prepare and use very small amounts in your dishes. When possible, count the threads instead of measuring them by volume. Note that a "pinch" of saffron equals about 20 medium threads, and a pinch is usually enough in most recipes that serve four to six people. When using powdered saffron instead of whole threads, note that 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) of powder equals about 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) of threads. This amount is usually enough for recipes that serve 8 to 12 people; scale it as needed based on the number of servings. Most traditional recipes calling for saffron are grain-based, including risotto, pilaf, and paella. You can find a recipe that calls for saffron or add it to a basic recipe. As a general guideline, add about 30 threads of saffron to four servings of risotto or pilaf made with 12 oz (300 g) of rice. Add 50 threads of saffron to a paella recipe that serves four. Since saffron has a flavor profile similar to vanilla, it works well in many desserts that typically feature vanilla as the primary flavor. This includes custard, plain pastry, and sweet breads. For custards, only add a pinch of saffron to the recipe per four servings. For pastry and plain cookies, use 15 to 20 threads of saffron for every 8 oz (200 g) of flour called for in the recipe. Note that butter accents the taste of saffron better than margarine. For sweet breads, adding 15 threads of saffron per 1 lb (450 g) of flour will create a subtle flavor, but you can add up to 60 threads for the same amount of flour if you'd prefer a stronger taste. If you want saffron to serve as the primary flavor in a dish, you'll need to avoid adding other spices, herbs, or aromatics. When mixed with other spices, however, saffron can give dishes an overall deeper flavor. When mixing saffron into dishes flavored with other seasonings, it's best to use only a pinch. Add the saffron early on so that the flavor can blend into the other ingredients more thoroughly. Seasonings frequently paired with saffron include cinnamon, cumin, almond, onion, garlic, and vanilla. If you plan to add saffron to meat or vegetable dishes, gravitate toward those based on light meats and vegetables. For example, you could try adding it to a chicken or cauliflower dish., Summary: Use a small amount. Use saffron in grain-based recipes. Add saffron to desserts. Combine saffron with other flavors as desired.

The summary of "The formula is apothem=s2tan⁡(180n){\displaystyle {\text{apothem}}={\frac {s}{2\tan({\frac {180}{n}})}}}, where s{\displaystyle s} equals the side length of the polygon and n{\displaystyle n} equals the number of sides the polygon has. Remember to substitute for the variable s{\displaystyle s}. For example, for a hexagon with a side length of 8 cm, the formula will look like this: 82tan⁡(180n){\displaystyle {\frac {8}{2\tan({\frac {180}{n}})}}}. A hexagon has 6 sides. Remember to substitute for the variable n{\displaystyle n}. For example: 82tan⁡(1806){\displaystyle {\frac {8}{2\tan({\frac {180}{6}})}}}. You are finding the degrees you will use to calculate the tangent. For example, 1806=30{\displaystyle {\frac {180}{6}}=30}, so the formula now look like this: 82tan⁡(30){\displaystyle {\frac {8}{2\tan(30)}}}. To do this, use a calculator or a trigonometry table. For example, the tangent of 30 is about .577, so the formula will now look like this: 82(.577){\displaystyle {\frac {8}{2(.577)}}}. This will give you the length of the apothem of your hexagon. For example:apothem=82(.577){\displaystyle {\text{apothem}}={\frac {8}{2(.577)}}}apothem=81.154{\displaystyle {\text{apothem}}={\frac {8}{1.154}}}apothem=6.93{\displaystyle {\text{apothem}}=6.93}So, the apothem of a regular hexagon with 8-cm sides is about 6.93 cm." is Set up the formula for finding the apothem of a regular polygon. Plug the side length into the formula. Plug the number of sides into the formula. Complete the calculation in parentheses. Find the tangent. Multiply the tangent by 2, then divide the side length by this number.

Passage: Trapdoor spiders are approximately 0.79 in to 1.26 inches (1 to 3 cm) long. That means roughly between the size of your pinky nail and your thumbnail. Trapdoor spiders are black or brown, with stout bodies and legs. Some species have paler color markings, or they may have a silky covering of hair. Their bodies are divided into two sections: the thorax (containing the head and legs) and the abdomen. The abdomen is typically lighter and a slightly different color. Though they may be difficult to see because of its small size, a trapdoor spider will have 6 eyes arranged in 3 groups, whereas most other spiders have 8 eyes. Trapdoor spiders are relatives of tarantulas, but are less hairy, and have smaller, shinier bodies. The jaws of a trapdoor spider are attached to the front of its head. They move up and down, unlike most other spiders, whose jaws move side to side. Females trapdoor spiders are larger than the males, but you will seldom see females because they rarely leave their burrows. Therefore, if you see a trapdoor spider, it is most likely a male. Look for these characteristics that identify male trapdoor spiders: Short and blunt spinnerets. These produce silk, and are located at the tip of the abdomen. A double spur about halfway along their front legs. A dusty or dull carapace (a harder area covering much of the thorax) that is lightly covered in bristles. Pedipalps (small appendages near the jaws) that resemble boxing gloves. There are numerous varieties of trapdoor spiders, each with slightly different physical characteristics. More varieties of trapdoor spiders are still being discovered. If you think you have seen a trapdoor spider, look up the specific varieties that live in your area, so that you know can what kind of specific markings to expect., Summary: Forgo polish for a few weeks. Clip and file your nails down short. Moisturize constantly. Do a nail soak. Fashion a tea bag patch. Apply tea tree oil.

The summary of "Many people will experience one or a few stalls in their weight loss. This is normal and to be expected so don't give up on your plan. Weight stalls are when you've been actively losing weight and for a week or more you notice that your weight has not decreased. There are a variety of reasons behind weight stalls. Review your exercise patterns, food journal if you've been keeping one and any other lifestyle habits. If you've been slacking at exercise or snacking more than usual, this may be the cause of your weight stall; however, even if you've stayed 100% on track, it can be normal to experience a stall. When you've hit a weight plateau, ensure you're sticking to your plan and be patient. As your body adjusts to your new weight, you should see your weight loss restart. Any big lifestyle change can be difficult to follow long-term. Journaling can help you keep track of your progress and be a place to vent frustrations or write about exciting progress. Studies have shown that journaling can help dieters in a variety of ways. Keeping track of your food will help keep you accountable. Also, seeing your progress can be a motivating factor to keep you on track. Dieting can get lonely, especially if the people around you lead unhealthy lifestyles. Having a friend to diet and exercise with can help you stay motivated and actually make dieting fun. Ask friends of family members to help you stay accountable. Share with them your diet, exercise, and lifestyle plan. You may feel less tempted to slip up around people who know what your goals are. It might also be a good idea to go through weight loss together. Studies have shown that when you exercise or diet together with friends, this support group helps everyone involved be more successful long-term. Adults should be getting seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Being tired can impact your weight in multiple ways: you are more likely to make bad decisions when tired (like getting a pizza instead of something healthy); you may be more likely to go for late-night, carb-heavy snacks; you may crave junk food; and on top of that, you may lack the energy to exercise. . When you are stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol, which tells your body to conserve energy (i.e., hang on to fat). If you're exercising, that's a great way to bust stress, but look into other methods as well. Consider yoga, meditation, positive visualization, going for a walk in nature, laughing with a friend, or doing something creative to help reduce your stress." is Plan for a weight plateau or stall.

Q: Summarize the following: A Baker’s cyst occurs when fluid builds up in the back of the knee. This happens when something is wrong or injured inside the joint. However, this can also occur spontaneously without any trauma. Some people just get them and there is no known explanation. This cyst points to a larger underlying problem, like a torn meniscus, that needs to be found soon because the swelling can cause damage to the knee. Bursitis is inflammation or an injury to the prepatellar bursa. Bursa, a round, fluid-filled structure, help the kneecap move smoothly across other tissues without friction. If the bursa gets inflamed, it can cause surrounding tendons to become inflamed and pinched, resulting in pain. Bursitis can cause stiffness or pain in the knee, as well as tenderness of the knee when touched and pain with movement. Pain is usually worsened by bending the knee and improved with extending the knee. The knee may also be swollen and red. Bursitis can be caused by repetitive motions, like bending or stooping. You can also get it by putting pressure on the joint by kneeling for too long on a hard surface. Patellar tendinitis occurs when you do the same motion on your knee, like running or cycling. Patellar tendinitis is when the tendon between your kneecap and shin becomes inflamed. Pain is the main symptom of patellar tendinitis. The pain is located beneath your kneecap, near the place it attaches to your shin. The pain may surround a workout, either as you begin or after you finish one. Eventually, the pain will make it difficult to stand or take stairs. Arthritis of the knee occurs when the knee joint swells. Arthritis generally occurs with age or due to a knee injury. It can make everyday tasks difficult, like standing and sitting, walking, or taking stairs. Pain, swelling, and stiffness are common symptoms of arthritis of the knee. Osteoarthritis (OA) occurs due to age. It can start around age 50, but may affect younger people. OA occurs due to the wear and aging of the cartilage of the knee, which causes less protection for the bones as they rub against one another. Pain may also become worse as you go through your day. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that will not only affect the knee, but joints over the entire body. RA usually starts affecting people between 50 to 75 years old, it is more common in women, and pain is often worse in the morning and improves with moving throughout the day. Post traumatic arthritis occurs after a knee injury. Sometimes this happens years after the injury. Broken bones, ligament injuries, and meniscal damage can cause this type of arthritis., A: Install Adblock Plus Click the Adblock Plus icon. Click Options. Click the Add your own filters tab.
