Q: Summarize the following: Washing your jacket too soon could do harm to its fibers. Even after six months have passed, you should only machine wash your jean jacket rarely. Wash jackets on a cold cycle, unless otherwise indicated on its care instructions. Jean jackets made from special fabric blends may have unique care instructions. Always follow the jacket’s label care instructions for the best results. Hang your jean jacket on a wooden hanger in the bathroom when you’re taking a shower. Keep vents off and windows closed to build up the steam. The steam will smooth wrinkles and could even eliminate faint stains and odors. To preserve your jacket the longest, try a shower steam treatment before anything else. Water may condense on metal or plastic hangers. If too much water accumulates, it can stain your jacket or create streaks where it has dripped. When hanging your jacket, do so in a way that keeps it from the surfaces of the room. Your jacket may absorb dirtiness or excessive moisture from walls, doors, and so on. Fill a bucket, bathtub, or similar container with enough cold water to completely submerge the jacket. Add a half cup (118 ml) of vinegar to the water. Stir the solution to distribute the vinegar, then soak your jacket in it for roughly half an hour. Treating your jacket with vinegar will help maintain its color. This is especially useful for dark colored jackets, which sometimes transfer dye to other clothing, furniture, and so on. Although vinegar has a potent smell, when your jacket dries this smell will disappear. Leftover solution can be disposed of down a drain. Machine drying your jacket will dry it more quickly, but the heat from the dryer will cause its fibers to break down, weaken, and fray. Hang your jean jacket from a clothesline, a hanger, or on the back of a chair to let it air dry. When hanging or draping your jacket to dry, pull on the fabric to straighten wrinkles. This will reduce the amount of wrinkling in the dried jacket., A: Wash and dry your hands. Apply a warm compress to your eyelids. | 0 |
Q: Summarize the following: Pour the drippings from the bottom of the roasting pan into the saucepan. Then add 1 tablespoon (14.2 g) of butter and 1 tablespoon (8 g) of flour and turn the stove to medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly, making sure all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined. If you're having trouble blending the flour into the liquid, use a whisk instead of a spoon to break up large chunks. For a smoother gravy, strain the turducken drippings before you add them. Place a colander over the top of the pan and pour the drippings through it to catch any large bits. Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of whole milk and 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of chicken stock into the saucepan, continuing to whisk the liquids together as you do so. Turn the heat on the stove up to high until the contents of the pan begin to boil. It may help to pour the liquids in gradually while you stir to make it easier to blend them. You can also substitute 1%, 2%, or skim milk for the whole milk. However, it will make your gravy thinner. Once your mixture begins boiling, turn the heat down to low or medium-low. Allow the gravy to simmer so that it thickens up to the right consistency, stirring it occasionally to prevent it from burning on the bottom of the pan. If you prefer a thinner gravy, you can add more chicken stock after the 10 minutes are up. If you want a thicker gravy, whisk in a little more flour. Use a kitchen timer or the clock app on your phone to monitor the time. Add salt and pepper to taste if you'd like. Before serving, allow the gravy to cool off for about 5 minutes. Take it off of the stove while it cools so the gravy at the bottom of the pan doesn't scorch. If you aren't using the gravy immediately, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months., A: Gather up the materials. Push the two forks together. Find the center of mass of the utensils. Insert a toothpick into the center of mass. Balance the forks and toothpick on the rim of a glass.

Q: Summarize the following: Keeping skin moisturized helps keep hair moisturized, as well. Coconut oil, in particular, is helpful for preventing hair loss, as it helps reduce protein loss in your hair. Try applying coconut oil to your eyebrows before and after washing your face. Tweezing too much can lead to more permanent hair loss. In other words, not only do you remove the hair, you may prevent it from growing back in the future. If you've noticed hairs are not growing back, try slowing down on the plucking. Over-plucking may also cause ingrown hairs and follicle damage. Always clean tweezers with alcohol before plucking to prevent transferring bacteria that can cause infection. Pregnancy, menopause, and changes in birth control are all changes in the level of estrogen in your body. Estrogen loss can lead to hair loss, so if you suspect you may have hormonal changes, talk to your doctor about taking a supplement. When you are stressed, your body starts shutting down processes that aren’t necessary for survival. This shutdown can occur with physical stressors, like surgery or an illness, and emotional stress, which often manifests as physical symptoms. Loss may occur up to three months after the stressful event and may take another three to grow again. Start a daily meditation practice. Make time in the morning, after work or school, or before bed to calm your mind and sit quietly. Pick a time that works best with your schedule and spend at least 20 minutes focusing on your breathing. Yoga is a great way to get more exercise and reduce stress at the same time. It is also easier for many people to do than traditional cardio exercises and only requires a mat for practice. Smoking can lead to hair loss. The chemicals in cigarette smoke and other types of tobacco smoke can break down hair cells, leading to hair loss. If you're concerned about hair loss, think about stopping to slow down the problem. To quit smoking, make sure your friends and family know you want to quit. They can help you avoid triggers and remind you when you forget. Avoid triggers that lead you to smoking, such as going to bars. Use aids to help you, such as patches and support groups. Dyes, tints, and even eyebrow pencils may cause hair loss, particularly if you apply too much pressure. If you've noticed that you are losing your eyebrows, especially after starting a new makeup, consider laying off the makeup for a period of time to see if it helps. Numerous medications can cause temporary or permanent hair loss, including chemotherapy, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers. Nonetheless, many other medications can cause hair loss in isolated cases. If you've noticed hair loss after starting a new medication, talk to your doctor about this side effect., A: Choose and change your name. Prepare for your work transition. Protect yourself against discrimination. | 0 |
Context: Your new switch can be whatever type you prefer, regardless of the existing switch. For instance, if your lamp has a pull chain but you want to install a 3-way turn knob, all you have to do is buy a 3-way turn switch and a light bulb with 2 brightness levels. You can even replace a socket switch with a cord switch. Just purchase a new socket assembly without a switch and follow the instructions for replacing a cord switch. You can buy a new socket switch from most hardware stores, and they usually cost around $2-$5 USD. Never take chances when you’re working with electricity. Double-check to be sure that the lamp is unplugged before you start to take it apart. At this point, the socket at the top of the lamp should be exposed. On most lamps, this is where the switch is located. The socket shell is the actual assembly where the switch is located and the light bulb screws in. On most lamps, you can squeeze the socket shell and pull upwards to remove it. If the socket shell is hard to remove, use a screwdriver to pry it loose. There should be 2 wires attached to the switch. 1 is hot and the other is neutral. The hot wire is usually attached to a brass screw, and the neutral wire is usually attached to a silver screw. The neutral wire is usually marked in some way. It may be a different color, or the insulation may be printed, stamped, or have indentations. Make sure to note this now, since you’ll need to know which wire is neutral when you hook up your new switch. If you can’t identify the neutral wire, look at the plug. The neutral wire is attached to the wider plug blade on a polarized plug. If your plug blades are the same size, you should replace the plug while you’re replacing the socket. Cut through the wires as close to the switch as possible to ensure you have plenty of wire to work with. Wire cutters can also be used to strip insulation from wires. Use the wire cutters to make a notch in the insulation around the wires, then clamp down on the insulation with the strippers and carefully pull the insulation away. If you see any strands of wire when you pull away the insulation, it means you cut too deep. Cut off that section and start again. Use your fingers to wrap the wire tightly around the screw. Be sure to connect the neutral wire to the silver screw and the hot wire to the brass screw. Although sockets will be slightly different depending on the manufacturer, the wires should thread easily through the socket. Make sure the socket is right-side-up and look for wire channels to help you know where to guide the wire. You should hear the new socket shell snap into place. If there is a screw on the stem of the lamp, tighten it now to hold the socket in place. If you’ve done everything right, you should be able to use your new switch to turn on your lamp! If the lamp doesn't come on, check the connection in your switch and try again. If this doesn't help, you may need to replace the plug., Summary: Purchase a new socket switch from a hardware store. Unplug the lamp before you begin repairs. Remove the shade, bulb, and the wire that holds the shade in place. Squeeze and pull the socket shell to remove it from the lamp. Locate the wires attached to the socket shell. Use wire cutters to cut the wires leading to the existing switch. Cut off the ends of the wire and strip away 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of insulation. String the 2 wires through your socket and attach them to the screws. Place the new socket shell into the lamp and press down. Replace the light bulb and lampshade and plug in the lamp. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Look for a power cord and a HDMI cable. If it doesn't have a HDMI cable, you can use a color-coded RCA cable to connect the TV in the meantime. Opt to order an HDMI cable from an online retailer if you don't have one, since they provide the best connection to your devices. It must reach between your TV console and the wall.

Context: Silicone caulk can be seriously sticky stuff, so the more you can get off of your hands initially, the easier it will be to get your hands completely clean in the long run. As soon as you notice caulk on your hands, take a tissue or paper towel and immediately wipe it away. Discard the tissue or paper towel immediately afterward to avoid accidentally spreading the caulk. Don't use a fabric towel (especially one that you care about). Once silicone dries, it's very difficult to get out. In addition, it's basically waterproof, so even if it doesn't ruin your towel's appearance, it may make it less useful as a towel. Once you wipe the excess caulk off of your hands, grab a cheap plastic bag (like the kind you get at the grocery store). Rub your hands with the bag, using it the same way you'd use a washcloth. If the silicone hasn't already dried, it should cling to the bag more readily than it clings to your hands, removing much of the remaining caulk. Though this trick is a little unconventional, it's cited by certain home improvement resources as being effective. If you don't have a grocery bag handy, most cheap plastic bags (like, for instance, trash can liners) should work well. If the caulk on your hands hasn't had a chance to dry, you should be able to remove much of it with a paper towel or plastic bag. To get the last of it, rinse with water. As you rinse, periodically scrub your hands with a sponge, paper towel, or mild abrasive. As noted above, you'll probably want to avoid using "nice" towels to remove caulk. You may use soap if you wish. However, it's unclear whether doing this has any significant effect. Next, dry your hands off with a rag or paper towel. Examine them carefully, checking for any remaining caulk. Be thorough — even a small amount can be annoying once it dries. If you see any silicone remaining, you will probably want to repeat the steps above as needed until it's been removed or it's become obvious that it won't leave your hands. When used for its intended purpose, silicone caulk can take some time to dry completely — roughly 24 hours for a standard "bead". However, when it's spread thin or in tiny drops on your hands, it can dry much faster. Because of this, time is of the essence when you're trying to get silicone caulk off of your hands. The quicker you start removing wet caulk from your hands, the less effort you'll have to spend trying to remove dry caulk, which is much harder to clean off. Because a big part of keeping your hands clean when caulking is to be able to clean them right away, it can be very helpful to keep cleaning supplies with you as you do your caulking. Keeping a clean plastic bag and a few paper towels near you while you work can make the difference between completely clean hands at the end of your project and the lingering inconvenience of hands caked with dry silicone. If you've tried the tips above and haven't been able to get the caulk off of your hands, there's a good chance that it's had time to dry. Unfortunately, because dry caulk is a strong adhesive and is basically waterproof, paper towels, plastic bags, and water won't be much help removing it. In this case, you may want to try one of the many home remedies recommended for removing dried caulk from your hands in the section below. Though these methods aren't definitively proven, many online sources recommend them., Summary: Remove as much of the caulk as you can before it dries. Rub your hands with a plastic bag. Rinse with water. Dry your hands and repeat if needed. Act fast! Try using a home remedy if dry caulk remains. | 1 |
The summary of "Spider veins can be caused by a variety of conditions, ranging from simple genetics to skin conditions like rosacea. Treatment depends on the cause of your spider veins, so see a dermatologist to determine the cause. They can recommend treatments from there. For example, if you're diagnosed with a skin condition such as rosacea, your dermatologist can recommend creams and cleansers to help treat the issue. Prescription topical treatments, such as Mirvaso (brimonidine) or Rhofade (oxymetazoline hydrochloride) may be an option. Laser treatment is one of the most common treatments for spider veins around the nose. Laser treatment involves targeting spider veins topically with lasers in a doctor's office. Laser treatments works well for some people, but others find it is ineffective or causes issues like scaring. Talk over the possibility of laser treatment with a doctor or dermatologist to help determine whether it would be effective for you. When getting sclerotherapy, a dermatologist will inject chemicals into the veins to produce a blood clot. When the clot is reabsorbed by your body the vein will disappear. This procedure is generally reserved for patients with many spider veins. Veinwave is a treatment for spider veins that uses microwaves instead of light to target spider veins. It does come with a slightly reduced risk of side effects in comparison to laser treatment, but it's a new treatment and its long-term effects are unclear. If you're interested in Veinwave, talk to a doctor or dermatologist to determine if it's the best option for you. As Veinwave is a new and still relatively untested option, it's best to use this as a last resort if other methods don't work." is See a dermatologist to determine the cause of your spider veins.

Context: Whisk the ingredients in a medium saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Stir constantly so that the sugar doesn’t burn and crystallize. You can use evaporated milk instead of cream. As soon as it boils, set the timer for 2.5 minutes. Continue stirring the mixture the entire time it’s boiling. Remove it from the heat as soon as the timer is up. Boiling the mixture for 2.5 minutes allows the sugars to begin caramelizing. Beat the mixture on high speed with electric beaters for six to eight minutes, until it becomes smooth, light, fluffy, and the perfect consistency to spread onto cakes or other desserts. The purpose of the baking soda is to prevent the sugar from hardening. You can also beat the mixture in a stand mixture. Once the sugar mixture boils, add the baking soda and vanilla and transfer it to the stand mixer bowl., Summary: Brush off the excess paint. Pour paint thinner over the stain. Scrape off the softened paint. Place a dry cloth over the stain on the outside of the shoe. Apply a bit of turpentine to the inside of the shoe behind the stained area.

The answer of "Summarize the following The primary factor in avoiding H. pylori infection is to practice proper hygiene and good hand washing. You should wash your hands, especially after using the restroom, or before handling food. Wash your hands in the following manner: Use warm water ( 120 degrees) and 3-5 cc (roughly a teaspoon) of liquid soap. The soap does not have to be antibacterial. Wash for a total of 15-30 seconds. Eat a diet containing adequate proportions of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. This will help you maintain good health. Having a strong immune system can reduce the risk of infection with many bacteria. Exact proportions vary based on weight,gender activity level, etc. But, caloric intake should be approximately 2000 calories per day, as a broad approximation. Get the majority of calories from fresh fruit and vegetables, legumes and grains, and low fat proteins. Even with a balanced diet, 67% of dieticians recommend dietary supplements. These supplements fill nutritional gaps that are not satisfied by food alone. Vitamin C in particular is important for a healthy immune system. Many physicians recommend about 500 mg per day. Be aware that vitamin C is acidic and can irritate the stomach. It's a good idea to take a buffered form of the vitamin or try to get it through foods. Good choices include cantaloupe, cabbage, citrus fruits, and red pepper. Because of its acidity, its a good idea to talk to your doctor about Vitamin C supplements you take if you are receiving treatment for H. pylori. Studies suggest H. pylori may be transmitted via saliva. If you know someone who has H. pylori, avoid saliva contact with them until it is confirmed that their treatment was successful. For example, if your spouse has H. pylori, avoid kissing him or her, and do not share a toothbrush. Especially when traveling to countries with poor sanitation, be careful about what you eat or drink. Consider drinking bottled water when visiting countries with poor water sanitation. Refrain from eating at any questionable or roadside food trucks, etc. Eat only in restaurants with sanitation standards similar to an American standard of sanitation.

Passage: His body language can be a big factor in showing you if he wants to get closer to you, or if he just sees you as a buddy. If he puts his arm around you, you need to know it's because he likes you, not because he's just palling around. Here are some ways to see if his body language means he likes you as more than a friend: Notice how he sits next to you. Does he always try to move closer until your knees touch, or is he sitting miles away? Try to see if you can catch him stealing a glance in your direction. If you catch his eye and he even blushes and looks away, then he knows he's been caught! See if he's always looking for excuses to touch you. Does he get physical if you're playing a friendly game of volleyball or soccer, and does he always ask you to be his partner when it's time for chicken fights in the pool? See if his body is directed towards you when you speak. Does he stand with his body towards you and his arms gesturing or at his sides? If so, then he wants to give you all of his attention. See how he touches other girls. Does he put his arm around every girl, or only you? See if he ever gently pats your hand, even when he’s joking. This is a very intimate gesture, and it may show that he really likes you. He may just be a really good friend, or all of those favors he's doing for you may mean something more. Notice all of the things he does for you and think about what they mean. Here's how to tell: See if he's being very thoughtful. Does he bring you coffee when you're having an intense study session, or get tickets for a movie you hinted that you want to see? If so, then he's probably hanging on to your every word and just wants to make you happy. See if he does nice things for everyone. Is he just "Mr. Nice Guy" and loves giving rides and buying lunch for everyone in town, or does he do these things for only you? Remember, if he likes you, then he'll treat you differently than everybody else. If he helps you out with your chores, like doing your laundry, then he definitely wants to be your boyfriend. If he offers to help you with your car, he's not just being friendly - he wants you to be impressed by his manliness. You need to check out how he talks to other girls to see if he treats them just like he treats you, or if he thinks you're special to him. You don't have to stare or stalk to get a sense of how he treats others and to have a sense of where you stand with him. See if he's a perpetual flirt. Does he flirt with every girl in the room, or only you? Remember, he may still like you if he flirts with other girls, but it makes it less likely that he's singling you out. You can also look for the opposite sign. Does he flirt with every girl except for you? Then maybe he’s not flirting with you because you’re the only one he really likes. He may respect you too much to tease or flirt with you like he does with every other girl. Does he seem embarrassed or shy if he hangs out with a new girlfriend in front of you? If so, then he may not want you to see his relationship unfolding because he’d rather be with you. See if the other girls he hangs out with know who you are. If he’s with another girl and she gives you an, “Oh, I’ve heard about you” look, then the girl may be jealous because you’re important to the guy. If he likes you, then he’ll want to be around you as much as possible. He could try to do this in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. Here are a few signs that he wants to be around you because he sees you as more than a friend: If he acts like you’re the only person in the room when you’re hanging out in big groups. If you’re at a party, concert, or a bar, and you realize you ended up talking to him for most of the night, then he definitely wants to get closer to you. If you have a class together and he always tries to sit next to you and even saves you a seat, then he may want to take things to the next level. Notice if he sometimes just happens to run into you in your favorite coffee shop or bar. If he’s always around, then he may have a stalking problem, but if he’s just “in the area” occasionally, then it may be because he’s hoping to run into you. Paying attention to how and how often you hang out and to when and where you hang out can give you great insight into whether he just wants to see you ask a friend or if he wants all of your hang-sessions to be more like dates. Here are some points to consider: Notice where you hang out. Do you see him in romantic locations like gardens, nicer wine bars, or places where you see couples hanging out for date nights? If so, then he may want the same for you. Notice who is around when you hang out. If it’s always just the two of you, then he may see you as crush material. But if he’s always inviting ten of his closest bros along, then he may see you just as another friend. Notice when you hang out. If you only see him once a month, then he may not be trying to spend more time with you. But if it feels like you haven’t gone more than a day without seeing him recently, then yeah, he probably likes you. Notice what you do when you hang out. Going out for coffee or a quick lunch is more meant for the friend zone, but going out for dinner or seeing a movie in the evening is a more-than-friend activity. This may feel like a no brainer, but it may be harder to tell if he’s flirting with you than you think. Every guy has his own flirting style, and there will be a variety of ways to flirt with you to show that he definitely likes you. Here are a few signs that he’s flirting: If he’s always trying to make you laugh if you have a class together, and even doodles in the margins of your notes, then he’s definitely flirting with you. If he sends you a lot of emoticons when he’s texting, then he’s flirting with you. If he’s always playfully hitting you or giving you a gentle shove, then he’s flirting with you. If he loves dunking you underwater when you’re in a pool, then he is definitely flirting. If he’s always trying to make you laugh or giggle, then he’s definitely flirting. If he blushes when you’re both laughing, then he’s definitely feeling flirtatious., Summary: Notice his body language. Pay attention to the things he does for you. Study him in action with other girls. See if he’s always trying to hang out with you. Analyze your hang-out sessions. See if he flirts with you. | 1 |

The heavy colors will darken your expression, and give you the “don’t mess with me” look you want., Summary: Don’t smile. Revamp your wardrobe. Give yourself a tough girl hairstyle. Apply makeup to help you look tougher. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: Although your pet may not exactly understand the words that you are saying, he can at least pick up on the tone of your words and your body language when you talk to him. For example, if you speak with him in a stern voice, he might pick up on the fact that you are unhappy with his behavior. Talking to him in an authoritative tone when giving him a command will likely signal to him that he should follow your instruction. Talking with your pet can also help soothe him if he is feeling anxious or fearful. Giving your pet verbal praise when you are training him is also very helpful. Your non-verbal communication is just as important as verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is often used in training to teach your pet to do a certain activity. For example, if you are sitting on your horse, you would use your legs and hands to command your horse to turn on the forehand. When you teach your dog to sit, you would actually combine verbal and non-verbal communication (hand signals) to give him the ‘sit’ command. Getting up and walking away from your cat without saying anything is a way to let him know that you do not approve of his behavior. Be mindful of non-verbal communication that your pet may not like. For instance, your dog may not want you to rub his tummy. If he growls or tries to move away from you, give him some space. Verbally or physically punishing your pet is never a good idea. Punishment can make your pet fearful of you and possibly lessen the trust and respect that he has for you. In addition, some species, like cats, do not necessarily make the connection between your punishment and the behavior you are punishing them for. Making the unwanted behavior less desirable and making the correct behavior more desirable often works to dissuade your pet from misbehaving. For example, if your cat is scratching up your furniture, putting double-stick tape on the furniture will make it less desirable for him to scratch on. Sprinkling catnip leaves on the scratching post will make it more desirable for him to scratch on., A: Talk with your pet. Use non-verbal communication with your pet. Avoid punishing your pet. | 1 |

Passage: Take a few minutes to laugh either by yourself or with others. Whether it's a short 2-minute video of a cat wearing pants or a feature length comedy, laughing has many health benefits: Laughter stimulates many organs. When we laugh we take in more oxygen than usual, and that stimulates the heart, lungs, and muscles. Laughing increases positive thoughts, leading to the release of stress and disease-fighting neuropeptides. Laughter itself increases mood and leads to feelings of enhanced interpersonal connection when shared with others. When you have negative or nervous feelings, it is hard to stop yourself from wallowing in them. Crack a big smile. It might be fake at first, but think about something that genuinely makes you smile, and keep working at it. A great big smile will momentarily trick your mind into thinking more positively, helping pull you out of a rut. Power posing is a way of holding your body to convey confident and dominant body language. In turn, this can help make your mood more relaxed and confident. For example, when speaking in a meeting, cross your arms across your chest and sit up straight. If you are closing a deal, show that you are engaged by standing, leaning forward, and resting your hands on a table while looking at the client or other individual., Summary: Start laughing. Smile when you feel nervous. Try power posing. | 1 |

Q: Summarize the following: If it's really slow-draining, this may take a while, but if you remove the water, your drain-clearing mixture will be able to unclog faster. You have several options for creating a non-commercial drain opener. Most involve vinegar and another substance that create a chemical reaction when combined. See if you have any of these drain-opening agents on hand: Vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar work) is the acidic base for creating the foaming reaction. Lemon juice is acidic like vinegar, but smells refreshing. This makes lemon juice a good option for clearing out clogged kitchen sinks. Baking soda is frequently used as a multipurpose cleanser. Salt will help eat away at the clog. Borax is frequently used as a multipurpose cleanser. No mixing is needed before pouring down the drain. The mixture will foam up on its own as the chemical reaction occurs. For a vinegar and baking soda combination: use 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of white vinegar. For a lemon juice and baking soda combination: use 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of lemon juice. For a salt, borax, and vinegar combination: use 1/4 cup of borax, 1/4 cup of salt, and 1/2 cup of vinegar., A: Approach her and lead into something appropriate. Pick a conversation starter.

Q: Summarize the following: Describe in detail what you are observing to your vet. Take your horse's temperature and heart/breathing rates. Every horse owner should have a working stethoscope and rectal thermometer available, and know how to use them. If your horse is showing signs of lameness, do not force him to exercise. If he is a significant distance from home, you should transfer him by trailer. Lay down a deep bed of shavings (4 or 5 inches) in his stall. These shavings will provide padding for your horse, helping to relieve some of the pain. Taking the following measures before your vet arrives will make their job easier and give your horse some much-needed relief. Use cold therapy. Cold therapy is much the same as it is in humans. You ice down the horse's feet just as you would an injured knee or ankle in a human. You can either use a muck tub with ice and water or use ice boots to apply the ice to the horse. Do not leave it on for more than 30 minutes. Provide an NSAID painkiller. These types of painkillers help relieve pain, of course, but they can also help with inflammation. You can give your horse Equioxx, Danilon, or Phenylbutazone ("Bute"), for instance. These are not to be given if the horse is on steroids, as the two drugs are contra-indicated together and can be a fatal combination. Always speak to your vet before giving any prescription medication to your horse. Treatment for laminitis can vary, depending on the severity of the condition, but the mainstay for years is to get your horse started on a regimen of Phenylbutazone, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory. That, along with proper and supportive footing, are two of the treatments used in helping to alleviate the pain/disease. Your vet will check for the symptoms listed above by examining the horse, though she is better trained to spot the symptoms. Your vet may also want to take x-rays to examine the interior of the hoof. Ask how long you should provide anti-inflammatories to your horse. When you are giving your horse some of these drugs, such as Bute, you may need to skip a day after about a week. This drug can increase blood flow to the laminae, which helps the condition in some cases. It can also sedate your horse to some degree, which will keep him calm and less likely to injure himself further. They may be able to take some of the pressure off the foot by clever use of special shoes. They can also assess to horse to see if sole-pads are appropriate. Be cautious about applying any measures yourself because if you get it wrong you could tip the angle of the hoof and possibly precipitate the pedal bone punching through the sole of the hoof. You can cut a piece of thick foam to the size of the hoof. It should be a couple of inches thick to provide padding for the horse. Laminitis is sometimes caused by a horse being overweight and eating fresh pasture but not always. Other diseases can bring on bouts of laminitis. Research is still on-going concerning this disease, as its mechanisms and best modes of treatment and prevention are still not fully understood. One important test when looking for the cause is to test the blood sugar level of the horse, as too much sugar in the system is one risk factor for this disease., A: Call your vet immediately. Do not force your horse to walk or move. Take some palliative measures while waiting for the vet to arrive. Allow the veterinarian to diagnose the condition. Ask about acepromazine. Get an orthopaedic farrier (one with an additional qualification in treating conditions like laminitis by corrective shoeing) to assess the horse. Investigate the possible causes of the disease to prevent it from occurring again. | 1 |

To prevent injury, be sure you begin with gentle stretches before moving into more extreme stretches. . A backbend is a great exercise to do when you’re working up to a scorpion, which requires an extreme back arch. A backbend stretches your back and is a good warm up. To do one: Begin by standing with your legs shoulder-width apart. Raise your arms above your head with your hands flat so they are parallel with the ceiling.

The answer of "Summarize the following If you find yourself consistently missing out on opportunities because of your fear of heights and have already tried facing your fear, you might want to consider more long-term options. Explore these options in depth realizing they may help you seize opportunities. Studies have shown that various forms of treatment you might encounter in therapy, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), are helpful in managing specific phobias like acrophobia. . There are numerous schools of psychotherapy, ranging from the traditional psychoanalytic method to existential and alternative approaches. The goal of any therapy program should be to help you safely and gradually lessen your fear while teaching you how to control your anxiety. Therapy may or may not be coupled with medicinal treatments. Ultimately, you must decide which type of therapy is the best option for you. But, there are things you should consider when choosing a therapist, including: Accreditation. Before beginning a therapy program, look into the education and certification of those therapists and counselors you are considering. Try to find a therapist or counselor who is licensed in his or her field, and with some type of expertise in phobia/anxiety treatment. Experience. Try to find a therapist who has been in practice long enough to generate a number of happy, healthy former patients. If you can, talk to some. Ask them how effective and comfortable their experience was and whether they would recommend their therapist. Think twice about therapists who seem inexperienced or are unable to back up claims of success. Method of treatment. Most reputable therapists use modern, scientific techniques that have been subjected to peer review in legitimate medical publications. But, holistic and alternative methods have been researched and are widely effective for some people. Once you think you've found a suitable therapist, schedule a meeting and see if the therapist is a good fit. Different therapists may take different approaches to tackling your fear. But, nearly all will first ask you to describe your fear, asking questions about how long you've had it, any problems it's caused you, etc. Be completely honest with your therapist. The more information you can supply, the easier it will be to treat you. Also, be sure to communicate with your therapist as to what techniques do and do not seem to be working. You'll probably learn how to confront and control your anxiety. This doesn't try to remove your anxiety, but to make it more manageable. With a therapist, you'll learn to cope differently and begin to master your thoughts and feelings. Eventually, you'll learn to be more at peace with what you can and what you must learn to accept. One way that some (but not all) therapists approach phobias is to desensitize patients by gradually increasing their exposure to the stimuli that cause the fear, starting with relatively small experiences and slowly increasing sensation so that the patient develops a tolerance. For example, you might simply imagine standing at the edge of a cliff. Then, when this becomes manageable, you might look at a picture taken from a high vantage point. In recent years, virtual reality has offered therapists many exciting possibilities for safely letting patients overcome a fear of heights gradually in a controlled environment. Eventually, when the patient has made significant process, the patient may take a plane flight or some other act that initially would have caused great fear. Many therapists will assign take-home readings and exercises to reinforce mental and physical techniques you have been taught. You will be asked to challenge your own negative thought patterns and work on coping strategies on a day-to-day basis. Homework may include activities like breathing exercises, thought experiments, and more." is Know your personal limits.

Q: Summarize the following: Protein fibers, like wool, cashmere, and silk will hold the dye for the longest. Cotton fabric dyes well, but the color generally fades a little bit faster over time. Remember that you can always re-dye items that have faded. Use towels or sheets that you don’t mind getting discolored. You’ll also need a large plastic bowl, white vinegar, water, and various food coloring options. Getting everything together is helpful so that you don't have to go searching for anything while your hands are messy. There are some techniques to remove food coloring stains, but it’s easiest to avoid making them if you can. Place your clothes in the bowl first, and then add enough equal parts of water and white vinegar so that they’re completely saturated. To keep things even, use a measuring cup to add 8 ounces (230 g) of each liquid at a time. The pre-soak prepares the clothes to accept the dye better than if you were to go straight to water and food coloring. Although you can dye your clothes without soaking them first, the color won't be as vibrant! Dump out the water/vinegar mix, and gently wring out your clothes. Then use 3 to 4 cups (710 to 950 mL) of water (or more, depending on how bulky the clothes are) and 10-15 drops of food coloring. Mix the water and dye in a large bowl and place your wrung-out clothes into the new mixture. If you’re nervous about the color being too dark, start with fewer drops and add more until you get the desired color. Most packs of food coloring have 4 basic color options—blue, green, red, and yellow. Mix together red and blue to make purple. If you want orange, combine red and yellow. Make a beautiful cyan color by mixing green and blue. Experiment with your dyes and water to find the perfect shade for your clothes. If your pack of food coloring comes with white or black dyes, use those to either lighten or darken the mixture to get the color you want. Use a long spoon to push the fabric down in the water to make sure it’s fully submerged, and stir it every few minutes let the dye access all of the material. You could even wear rubber gloves and manually rearrange the fabric every couple of minutes, too. After 10-20 minutes, you will notice that the water is clearer than it was before because the dye is getting absorbed into the fabric. Wring out your clothes after they’ve soaked in the water and dye mixture, and then place each item into its own resealable bag and set them out of the way somewhere. It’s okay if they’re left for longer than 8 hours. The time in the resealable bag makes the dye react with the fabric faster, which gives you a more vibrant, longer-lasting color in the end., A: Find a paper model alphabet online.

Q: Summarize the following: This will help prevent red bumps, and will help keep your skin moisturized. Coconut oil works especially well, and will make you smell good too. If it is solid, rub it between your hands to warm it up before applying it to your legs. To get extra smooth skin, exfoliate your body before shaving. Remember, when shaving your legs, shave against the grain; when shaving your bikini zone, shave with the grain. You will probably want to keep your bikini zone close to hairless, so it may be better to skip shaving and get it professionally waxed. A little oil goes a long way. Don’t use too much. Washing your face is an important part of anyone’s routine if you want to avoid breakouts or oily skin. It is especially important, however, if you tend to wear a lot of makeup. Wash your hands first. You can’t get your face clean with dirty fingers. Use makeup remover to ensure you skin is totally clear. Exfoliate gently. Scrubbing aggressively can damage your skin, rather than cleaning it. Rinse with warm water. Dry your face with a clean towel. Use a cotton ball to apply toner to problem areas. You want your presence to be alluring and intoxicating. People should want to be near you. That means you have to smell good. Wear perfume. Find something subtle and sweet. Most importantly, it should be something you like. You’ll be inhaling more of it than anyone else, after all. That said, pay attention to people’s responses. If you get a lot of wrinkled noses, retire that perfume. If you are allergic to perfume, or just plain don’t like it, moisturizing with coconut oil and washing your face with a fragrant soap will give you a more subtle sweet smell. Make sure not to overdo it with the scents, as this can be incredibly off-putting. This is a surprisingly important part of your overall presentation, and it can make a big difference. A stripper with sloppy nails will seem much cheaper than one with well-manicured nails. Leave it to a professional. Unless you are very good at doing your own, go out and have a professional work on your nails. Remember your feet. This is especially important if you wear open-toe shoes. Treat yourself to a pedicure every so often. If you are a real stripper, however, make sure not to let them remove the callouses on your feet—you need them! You don’t need to go crazy; you don’t want your nails to be a distraction. A neutral color with French tips will do just fine., A: Ask your friends what they think.

Context: Look, then, at the corners and see what, if anything, is fastening the wings (ear pieces) to the rims around the lenses. If you have trouble seeing this area, use a magnifying glass and more lighting. Some plastic frames have the wings (ear pieces) attached by a hinge embedded in the frame, so you will not be able to remove it easily, nor should you try to force it. If this is the case, skip the next step. Some sunglasses have only the wings (ear pieces) fastened on by screws to the hinge, with the hinge and lens framing portions as one solid piece of plastic. In this event, you should skip to the next method. If you see the hinge fastened by screws to the frame holding the lens, you can proceed with the next step. You are removing the screw closest to the frame, not the wing (ear piece). Use the screw-driver from an eye glass repair kit. You should only have to do this for the side on the lens you are removing--unless you are doing both. These frames are very light, so you may want to brace the frame with something, even your free hand or the hand of a helper while you do this. Most of the screws you encounter will be right-handed—that is, turning the screw counter-clockwise should loosen it and clockwise should tighten it. Once the screw is out, carefully set it aside. The screws are usually very tiny and easy to lose. It might help to affix the screw to a piece of fairly sticky packing tape. Many eye glass kits come with containers that are handy for storing the screws temporarily. At this point the frame and hinge should be separated. If the lens does not pop out on its own, give it an extra push. If you had to skip the step regarding screw-removal from the hinge, keep in mind that you will be putting extra stress on the hinge, so try to avoid grabbing on the wings themselves for the removal process. Hold the frame so only a couple of fingers are pushing on the frame from the back--perhaps two thumbs. Make sure the sunglasses are not high off the surface you are working on, and you don't accidentally lift them as you push with slow but gradually increasing pressure on the back of the lens until it falls forward. Once the lens is out, have a soft-lined, but hard cased container ready to carry them until you determine what you will do with them next. Do this until you have a replacement lens ready to install into the frame. This will help avoid the frames getting damaged, and make it less likely you will lose the original fastener. Make sure the hinge where the frame and wing meet is lined up properly. Many eye glass kit screwdrivers are magnetic at the tips, so this can assist in keeping the screw lined up at the hinge's opening. Standard technique should mean a clockwise motion will tighten the screw. Hold the frame and wing together at the hinge with one hand or assistance while you use the kit screwdriver to complete the process. You will need to consult with your optometrist if a new prescription lens is necessary. Proper fitting of a replacement lens may require the services of an eyeglass shop., Summary: Set the glasses with the wings open on a flat surface. Unscrew the screw-fastener from the hinge. Press on the lens lightly. Screw the hinge back together. Acquire a replacement lens. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: Before you start to apply the fabric to the wood surface, you should make sure it's smooth. Get a 100-200 grit sandpaper and sand back and forth over the area that you want to adhere the fabric to. Creating a smooth surface will eliminate bumps. Remove any dust that was created from sanding your piece of wood by wiping down its surface with a damp rag. Don't use an overly saturated rag because you don't want to get your wood wet. The mod podge won't work as well if you try to apply it to a damp or wet surface. Make sure the wood is dried out before moving on. Lay your fabric over the piece of wood, leaving at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of slack around the fabric. This excess will ensure that you get complete coverage of fabric over the wood., A: Sand the wood with 100-200 grit sandpaper. Wipe down the surface of the wood with a damp rag. Let the wood dry fully before applying adhesive. Measure and cut your fabric to size. | 1 |

The answer of "Summarize the following Don’t just stop learning at the bare facts. These will not make you any smarter, nor will they give you the analytical tools you need to get straight A’s. If you really want to excel in school the most important thing is to always ask why. Learn why things work the way they do, why things matter and then you can apply that knowledge to a vast amount of information and may be correctly guessing even things you might not have learned about. This doesn't mean you should cheat - when we say use the knowledge of others, what we mean is that you should talk with friends, family members and teachers about the subjects you are studying. Get their opinions on topics, see how they would have approached a problem or learn their method of doing something. In opening your mind to new ways of thinking and doing you should be better prepared to handle almost any academic challenge. in your education. Participate in study groups. Get help when you need it. Study over time rather than cramming before a test. Basically, getting straight A’s is hard (if it were easy, everyone would do it) so you need to work at it if you want to do this. However, avoid study groups if you tend to talk more than study. Remember, you are only working in a study group to study. Most people, tend to forget this when they see a friend, so keep this in mind. . Consistently keep all assignments or handed back work/handouts separate and in chronological order. Not only does this make life in general easier, but it also helps when exam time comes, especially if there will be a cumulative end-of-year exam. You should also organize your time by allowing yourself plenty of time to study and sleep. Organize your notes and your study space. Study and do homework in chunks. If you have two days to do a homework assignment, do most of it the first and do the other part the second. Or, if you have a week to learn 10 vocabulary words, learn a few each day and review the words you already learned. This way you'll be less overwhelmed and ultimately have more time free from cramming. Get a planner. Write down your homework as soon as the teacher assigns it. If a teacher tells you when a project is due or a test will be given write it down. This will help you know what you have to do. If you can, make sure you are studying things you enjoy and can get invested in. You will do better if you care about the material you are studying. This is why you will find that you get the best grades in your favorite classes. Remember to balance things you enjoy with things you need to know. . The human body learns best at specific times and for some people it can be in the morning. Be sure you save this time for studying important class material, and leave the rest of the time for less important activities such as socializing. Avoid studying when you are tired.

The answer of "Summarize the following If you decide to get circumcised, a physician will perform a short, relatively simple surgical procedure that will remove part of the foreskin of your penis permanently. After a period of recovery, your penis will heal normally, but without the retractable foreskin. Generally, circumcision is performed on infant babies, but it's also performed on consenting adults, for medical, hygienic, religious, or cosmetic purposes. Circumcision is also recommended for urinary flow issues like retention or recurring yeast infections in the penis, as it can help prevent further infections. Circumcision does not help prevent any sexually transmitted infections. You should only get circumcised by a licensed physician or a mohel with a good record and experience. Under no circumstances should you ever attempt to circumcise yourself, as one small mistake can be dangerous. If you decide to go forward with circumcision, you should talk to your doctor about the procedure and set up a consultation. It is generally advisable to have a circumcision as a child, since recovery is much quicker, though adults can also get circumcised. The procedure consists of the following steps: Your genitals will be cleaned and prepped for surgery, and you will be anesthetized using a dorsal nerve blocker. A cut will be made in the foreskin on the upper side of the penis using scissors, while a second slit will be made on the underside of the penis, cutting away the foreskin around the rim of the ridge under the glans. The edges of the foreskin will be pulled back and the blood vessels will be tied off using stitches or diathermy, which involves using electrical currents to essentially cauterize the ends of the vessels. Finally, the penis will be bandaged tightly to aid in the recovery period. If you're an adult, the edges of the foreskin may be stitched together. Most adults tend to get circumcised to prevent pain due to tight foreskin, to treat infections, and to combat yeast. Some adults also get circumcised for hygienic reasons or because of religious beliefs. Others get circumcised because they believe that a circumcised penis is more sexually attractive than an uncircumcised one. The CDC has published guidelines indicating that scientific evidence supports recommending the procedure to uncircumcised males. Circumcision reduces the risk of urinary tract infections by up to 90%. Circumcision reduces the risk of balanitis, penile cancer and prostate cancer, and reduces the risk of HIV infection by 60%. Circumcision reduces the risk of high risk HPV, and cervical cancer in female partners. Circumcision does not eliminate your chance of getting an STI. Make sure you practice safe sex and always use a condom. In less common cases, circumcision is also performed to correct phimosis, or constricted foreskin, acute inflammation of the glans as a result of balanitis, or paraphimosis, which involves a restricted foreskin. Essentially, a circumcision involves the willful cutting of your genitals, removing the most sensitive front tip of the foreskin of the penis. As with any elective surgery, there are possible complications. Typically done on infants, circumcision for adults carries with it a significant and uncomfortable period of recovery. As an adult, circumcision is a personal, medical choice. Whatever you choose, make sure you weigh the benefits and risks and decide what is right for you. If you prefer a private consultation, seek advice from your local physician. Contact a hospital and ask to speak with a urologist to get a second opinion on the potential benefits and risks, and to get a description of the procedure and the recovery. For a teenager or an adult, circumcision is typically performed under anaesthetic and takes about two weeks for recovery. Some hospitals will not perform circumcisions on adults unless there is a medical reason. If you're committed to getting circumcised, be prepared to shop around for a place to get the procedure done. Make sure you've got some time set aside for recovery, which can take up to two weeks. If you're getting circumcised for religious reasons, use the time leading up to the procedure to complete any rituals associated with it.

The summary of "External hard drives and other USB flash drives are sometimes formatted to work with one operating system (OSX or Windows) only. Depending on the computers you're transferring between you may need to reformat to a more universal formatting option (FAT32) before attempting the transfer.

The answer of "Summarize the following Bathing your Golden Retriever is an important component of treating CAD, since it will remove allergens that may have settled on your dog’s fur. If your Golden Retriever has scratched its skin so much that it has become infected, a medicated shampoo will help treat those infected skin lesions. Medicated shampoo will contain either an antimicrobial or antifungal ingredient. Medicated shampoos often contain oatmeal or essential fatty acids to keep the skin from drying out. Purchase the medicated shampoo at your vet’s office. Do not use a human shampoo to bathe your dog. Dog skin and human skin have different pH levels. Because of the pH differences, human shampoo could irritate your Golden Retriever’s skin. To help your Golden Retriever feel less itchy, bathe it either once a week or every other week. Even if your Golden Retriever feels really itchy, do not bathe it too frequently (more than once a week)—this could strip its skin of essential oils, causing dry skin. If your Golden Retriever still seems uncomfortably itchy with weekly or bi-weekly bathing, talk with your vet about how often you should bathe your dog. Consider rinsing or wiping down your Golden Retriever each day. This would remove the allergens in between baths. However, this may not be practical if you have a busy schedule. You could also use a topical anti-inflammatory product between baths on the itchy spots. This product, which would contain a steroid like hydrocortisone, would be available at your vet’s office. If your Golden Retriever has skin lesions, wash very gently around those areas, since they may be very sensitive to the touch. When you finish bathing your Golden Retriever, apply a leave-in conditioner to the skin and coat. This conditioner will not only soothe the skin, but also serve as a barrier to keep allergens from contacting the skin. Apply the conditioner according to the product label instructions.

The summary of "A laptop for word processing and email-checking will have much different specifications than a laptop for playing the latest games. Battery life is also an important consideration; if you plan to roam around unplugged, you’ll want a laptop that doesn’t draw much power. The shell that you purchase will be dependent on the processor that you want to install, so pick your processor first. Compare processor models to determine which processor offers the best speed versus cooling and power consumption. Most major online retailers will let you compare processors side-by-side. Make sure that you are purchasing a mobile processor, and not a desktop processor. There are two major processor manufacturers: Intel and AMD. There are plenty of arguments for and against each brand, but generally AMD will be less expensive. Do as much research as possible on the processor models you are interested in to be certain it is worth the money. The notebook shell will determine which parts you can use for the rest your laptop. The shell will come with the motherboard attached already, which will dictate what memory you can use. Take screen size and keyboard layout into account as well. Since the shell is not particularly customizable, you will be stuck with the screen and keyboard you choose. A larger laptop will be more difficult to carry around, and will most likely be significantly heavier. Finding shells for sale can be difficult. Enter “barebones notebook” or “whitebook shell” into your favorite search engine to track down retailers that stock shells. Some laptop manufacturers or suppliers will allow you to choose just the shell. MSI and Eluktronics are some of the few companies that still offer barebone laptops. Your laptop will need memory to run, and the format of the memory is different than desktop. Look for SO-DIMM memory that will work with the motherboard in your shell. Faster memory will give better performance, but may lead to shorter battery life. Try to get 8 or 16 GB of memory for optimal everyday performance. Laptops typically use 2.5” drives, as opposed to the 3.5” drives found in desktops. You can choose between a standard 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM drive, or pick a solid state drive with no moving parts. The solid state drive (SSD) will typically be faster and has no moving parts, but they can be more difficult to use over long periods. Solid state drives also come in an NVMe version. NVMe can be more than 7x faster than SATA, and is in a smaller, M.2 form factor. If you want a laptop to roam around, a solid state drive (SSD) would be best, as it will not be physically damaged by impacts as much as a hard disk drive. Get a hard drive with enough space for you to do what you want with the laptop. Most shells don’t have space for more than one drive, so it can be difficult to upgrade later. Make sure that there is enough room on the hard drive after the operating system installation (usually between 15-20 GB). Nowadays, most people choose from a 500GB-1.5TB range for laptops. Not all shells will fit a dedicated mobile graphics card. Instead, the graphics will be handled by the CPU's integrated graphics unit. If you can install a dedicated card, decide if you need one. They are most important for gamers and graphic designers. This is becoming more of an optional step as computers advance, since you can install operating systems from USB drives and download most software. If you buy a new laptop today, most do not have an optical drive, as disc memory is now replaced with memory cards and removable drives. Some shells come with drives included. Not all notebook drives fit all shells, so make sure that the drive fits the shell you picked. Choosing whether or not to buy one is easy. Consider whether you use disc memory often. Remember, you can use a USB external optical drive instead of a built-in optical drive. You will need to find one that has the correct shape and uses the same connector (laptop batteries have multiple pins. The battery contains ICs and the IC notifies the computer on temperature, and notify the computer if the battery is not working and should not be charged, and the battery percentage). If you plan to move it around often, use a long life battery. You will need to try comparing many batteries to find one to buy. Buy one with good reviews. Read reviews on customer's experience with using those batteries." is Decide what the laptop’s main purpose will be. Choose a processor that meets your computer’s needs. Choose your notebook shell.

Context: If you're going to practice radical honesty, people deserve a head's up. This is especially true if you're practicing radical honesty with your spouse. Most people in society withhold the truth at least some of the time, so someone being so candid can be shocking. Before giving someone an uncomfortable truth, let them know you're a proponent of radical honesty. For example, before sharing your honest opinion with someone, say something like, "So, I practice radical honesty, which means I try to give objective assessments." With your spouse, talk over the concept of radical honesty together before you begin practicing it. Talk about why it would help with your marriage and what the two of you can expect. If you find you've told a lie, stop and confess. Lying often comes naturally, especially white lies, so it's easy to be dishonest without realizing it. Lies have a tendency of getting out of control, so it's usually easier to be honest directly after telling a lie. If you caught yourself withholding the truth, stop and say so. For example, say something like, "I know I said I thought your proposal was great earlier today, but I actually wasn't being entirely honest because I didn't want to hurt your feelings. I actually have some concerns and wanted to talk them over with you." Once you're used to catching yourself in lies, learn to express yourself directly. In a situation, identify what you're feeling and any needs that result from that feeling. What do you need someone to do? How are a person's actions affecting you? Let someone know these things directly. Learn to express frustration to others. For example, "I'm annoyed that you didn't respond to our memo earlier. I need you to be quicker in the future." If possible, express your honesty in person. It allows you to fully experience the ramifications of being radically honest, and makes it harder for the receiving party to ignore you. Any kind of harsh truths can be difficult for a person to hear. To minimize the impact, use "I"-statements. These focus on personal feeling over objective fact. They begin with, "I feel..." followed by immediately stating your feelings. You then explain the actions that led to those feelings and why you feel the way you do. For example, say your spouse has a tendency to be on their phone while you two are out together. You have ignored this before, but the tendency really does make you feel ignored. Do not say, "You shouldn't be on your phone all the time when you're out. It's disrespectful." Rephrase the above statement using an "I"-statement. For example, "I feel disrespected when you're on the phone all the time when we're out together because it seems like you're not paying attention to me." Not everyone will accept radical honesty. Some people prefer to deny harsh truths about themselves. When this results in your boundaries being violated, it's okay to walk away. For example, if you've continually explained to a friend their behavior is hurtful and seen no change, it's okay to end this relationship., Summary: Volunteer at a local shelter. Look for a new friend. Get back to a regular routine. Remember it will be alright. | 0 |
Passage: If your zipper slider's loop is shaped like a hook, you may be able to simply wriggle the old pull tab out. If you can't, pry the hook open a little with a flat-head screw driver. Pinch the hook shut with pliers once you have the pull tab out. If your zipper slider's loop is solid and has no gap in it, click here to learn how to remove it. Some types of zippers have a locking mechanism. You can see this mechanism if you look closely at the zipper from the side, then move it up and down. You'll notice a lock moving up and down inside the loop that the zipper pull was attached to. The locking mechanism needs to be out of the loop. If you can see the lock inside the loop, then move the zipper slider slowly until the loop is clear. Find the end on the outside of your paper clip. Feed it through the loop on your zipper. Rotate the paper clip so that both of the U-shaped loops are facing away from the zipper. A metal paper clip will work fine for this. You can also use a colored paper clip if you want the pull tab to match the zipper slider. Find a small key ring that is less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Pry open the end with your fingernail, a flat-head screwdriver, or a knife. Slide the end of the key ring into the loop. Feed the key ring through the loop until it is completely attached and closes by itself. A key ring is a great option for jean zippers that won't stay shut. Zipper up your jeans, slide the key ring over the button, then close the button. Avoid using key rings that are too large, or they will look clunky. Find some cord that is thick enough to fit through the loop on your zipper pull. Cut a short piece, then feed it through the loop. Tie the ends of the cord into an overhand knot, about 1⁄2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) away from the loop. Cut the rest of the string off. If you are using nylon cording, you can melt the cut ends with a lighter or a candle flame for a smoother finish. Match the color of the cording to the zipper, if possible. Choose satin or grosgrain ribbon thin enough to fit through the loop on your zipper pull. Cut it down to 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm), then feed it through the loop. Match up the ends of the ribbon to make sure that it is centered, then finish it in 1 of the following ways: Tie the ends together in an overhand knot to make a loop. Sew across the ends 2 to 3 times using a zigzag stitch to create a loop. Use hot glue or fabric glue to glue both ribbon halves together to form a single strip. Cut a short piece of wire. Slip it through the loop on the zipper, then twist the ends together to form a stem. Leave some space between the twisted part and the loop so that you can move the pull tab up and down. Trim the excess wire off with wire cutters so that it is between 1⁄2 and 1 inch (1.3 and 2.5 cm) long. You can use pipe cleaners, unfolded paper clips, or even twist ties from garbage bags. If you want the pull tab to match the zipper slider, use a colored paper clip instead. Use a pair of pliers to open a heavy-duty jump ring. Slide 1 end of the jump ring through the loop on your charm. Slide the other end of the jump ring through the loop on the zipper slider. Use the pliers again to close the jump ring. Choose a jump ring that is between 1⁄4 and 1⁄2 inch (0.64 and 1.27 cm) wide, and made from thick wire. Use a charm that is easy to hold between your thumb and index finger. Hold each side of the jump ring with a pair of pliers. Pull the ends past each other to open the jump ring, and towards each other to close it, just like a door. Do not pull the ends of the jump ring away from each other like sliding open a drawer. This will distort the shape of the jump ring., Summary: Reconstitute the milk as usual. Mix in egg powder.

Context: Passive mobilization is similar to stretching. Passive mobilization of a hip joint involves gently stretching the affected hind leg backwards, away from the head. Passive mobilization uses gentle limb extensions with the aim of keeping muscles conditioned and joints mobile. The theory behind passive mobilization is that pain restricts the movement of the leg, but then the hip joint becomes stiff, and this leads to a further loss of movement, and the vicious cycle continues until the joint becomes chronically painful and stiff. You can use passive mobilization with the dog in a standing or lying down position. If both hips are sore it is better to have the dog lie down since he will be uncomfortable taking extra weight on the opposite hip when one leg is raised. Try placing a small pillow between your dog’s legs to make him even more comfortable. To use passive mobilization to stretch the left hip, lay the dog on his right side, with the left leg uppermost. For the right hip, lay the dog on his left side, with his right leg uppermost. This will likely be the position he's most comfortable in anyway. Laying on the opposite side takes the weight and pressure off the bad hip. Slide your left hand in front of the thigh halfway down the thigh bone, and cup the cranial muscles in your left palm. Apply gentle but firm pressure so as to push the thigh backwards so that the dog's paws moves backwards, too. Do not force the movement, and stop if the dog gets uncomfortable. You're not trying to improve his flexibility, you're trying to stretch the already taut, stiff muscle. Try to do this for two ten minute sessions a day. This helps keep the joint supple and relieves pain. Mobilization is the action of passively extending a limb with the aim of keeping the muscle conditioned and the joint mobile. The theory behind mobilization is that pain restricts the movement of the leg, but then the hip joint becomes stiff, and this leads to a further loss of movement, and a downward cycle of under-use established., Summary: Coax your Tokay out of his cage carefully and gently.

Q: Summarize the following: Look up recipes online that use the type of food you don’t like. There may be a dish that sounds delicious to you that you would never expect would contain that food. Try a dessert recipe that sneaks in a vegetable, or add an offending food to a casserole or soup so it’s mixed in with other things. If it’s a vegetable you don’t like, try any number of desserts that use vegetables in their recipe, like a carrot cake, zucchini bread, or avocado milkshake. This may not help you get used to the taste of the food you don’t like if it’s highly disguised by other ingredients, but it will get you accustomed to the idea that it can be used to make something tasty. Try preparing or eating the food with new seasonings or sauces, without overdoing it to the point of disguising the food. Get ideas for good seasonings to pair with the food from cookbooks or online. Try several different types of ethnic restaurants for a good way to try different preparations and flavors of the same food. Talk to friends, family, or the host of the dinner you’re at about the food you don’t like and how they like to prepare it. Try these new ways to find one that you like better. Try taking the recipes you’ve found in cookbooks, online, or from friends and family to prepare dishes with the food you’re learning to like, or just experiment with it on your own! Test out what it tastes like when you prepare it in different ways, like sauteing, steaming, roasting, or even deep-frying. Experiment with whatever seasonings and sauces you have around the house, or try new ones that recipes suggest. If there are multiple types of the food you don’t like, give them all a try to see which one you like best. Try both fresh and canned versions, and try getting produce from a farmer’s market instead of the grocery store if it is a fruit or veggie that you don’t like. Learn everything you can about the food you don’t like from the internet or books. Understanding more about the nuances of the food and understanding its differences from other foods will help you to appreciate it more. However you choose to prepare or eat it, have the food you don’t like in happy situations when you’re surrounded by people you enjoy. This will help change your emotional response to the food to a positive one. Even if you haven’t found a way to enjoy the food you don’t like, continue to eat it as much as possible, even if you have to completely disguise it with other things. You can actually psychologically condition yourself to like a food in this way., A: Add it to other things. Add seasonings or other flavor. Talk to others about the food. Cook the food yourself. Try different varieties. Become an expert on the food. Eat around people you like. Eat the food as much as possible. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following After cleaning up your roast by trimming it of fat, silverskin, and connective tissue, make several slits into the meat, about an inch wide and two inches deep. Make 10 or 12 cuts all over the surface of the meat. Stuffing the roast with aromatic vegetables and a fat source, like bacon, will help to inject flavor and moisture into the meat. For aromatics, use whole cloves of garlic, sprigs of rosemary, thyme, or sage. For adding fat, chopped bacon makes the best addition, but you could also use cold pats of butter. Dry rubs are excellent for venison roasts. You can use a commercial dry rub or mix up your own in a variety of flavors. Use what tastes you like and experiment with different dry rubs–it's awfully hard to screw up. Simply take a handful of your dry rub spice mixture and rub it into the outside of the meat. For a basic dry rub, mix up equal portions of oregano, basil, parsley, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper. For a whole-seed dry rub, toast up a quarter-cup each of fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds in a dry skillet. When they become fragrant, remove them from the pan and crack them with the flat side of a kitchen knife. Mix in dried chili powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Alternatively, you can also brine roasts in a salt brine overnight, which many venison-enthusiasts swear by. Salt-brines can help soften the flavor of the meat and tenderize it. Either way, let the meat refrigerate overnight, or for several hours before baking. Lining the bottom of your baking pan with vegetables will help to keep the meat off the bottom, resulting in a more even distribution of heat, as well as adding flavor and fragrance to the dish. The most-common vegetables for the job are onions, carrots, potatoes, and celery. After rinsing your vegetables, chop them into big pieces–doesn't need to be pretty. You won't need to season the vegetables, since the meat juices will season the vegetables as they cook. Because venison has such a tendency to dry out, it's also good to add a little water or water and chicken stock to the bottom of the pan. This will help to keep the interior of the oven moist, creating a kind of hot climate that will keep the meat from drying out. Set the meat on the bed of vegetables and cover tightly with tin foil. Place into the oven and bake for around three hours, basting periodically with the juices from the bottom of the pan. If you're using a meat thermometer, you can remove the venison when it's reached an internal temperature between 130 F and 150 F, depending on how "done" you like your meat. Any higher and it'll start to toughen. Remove the roast from the pan, but let the meat rest covered for about 10 or 15 minutes before cutting into slices to serve. You can strain the pan drippings to make a nice gravy to serve with the venison." is Make a memorable presentation. Be brief. Ask for advice at the first meeting. Be honest. Project confidence.

Passage: Do not attempt to diagnose cervicitis yourself. The symptoms are easily confused with other conditions, such as yeast infections, and more importantly, your cervicitis may have developed because of a serious infection, like an STI, which requires medical treatment. Your doctor will likely perform a pelvic exam as a first step in diagnosing cervicitis. They will insert a speculum and observe your cervix, making note of any redness, ulcerations, inflammation, swelling, or abnormal discharge. If your pelvic exam reveals signs of cervicitis, your doctor will order applicable lab tests, including a culture of your cervical discharge, a culture of the cervical cells themselves, and, if you are sexually active, tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and other sexually transmitted infections. Depending on the results of these tests, understand that your doctor may order additional testing, including a possible biopsy or colposcopy (an examination with a special magnifying device) of the cervix. There are two basic categories of cervicitis: infectious and non-infectious. Infectious cervicitis is much more common than non-infectious cervicitis. Your doctor will tell you which type you have. Infectious cervicitis develops due to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like gonorrhea or chlamydia. The association between these STIs and infectious cervicitis is so strong, in fact, that your doctor may start treating you for STIs immediately, even before the specific diagnosis is confirmed. Non-infectious cervicitis is much less common. Causes include foreign objects, such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and cervical caps; allergic reactions to latex, which can develop after intercourse using latex condoms; and douches and other vaginal washes. Your doctor may also refer to “acute” or “chronic” cervicitis. In general, acute cervicitis is infectious; chronic cervicitis is non-infectious., Summary: Make an appointment with your doctor. Get a pelvic exam. Schedule lab tests. Get a diagnosis from your doctor. | 1 |
Context: If you find a bunch of maggots in one part of your house, collect them with a broom and dustbin. Put them in a sealed garbage bag. Freeze them in the bag for at least sixty minutes. Then, put them in the outdoor trash can. Freezing is the most humane way to kill maggots. Use a broom to wipe the boric acid into the carpet fibers. A natural insecticide, boric acid should kill the maggots. You can purchase boric acid at hardware stores, large department stores or online. Thoroughly vacuum every nook and cranny of your carpeting. Pull out the vacuum bag and seal it in an airtight plastic bag or container. Freeze it to kill the maggots. Then, immediately put it in the outside trash container. Freezing is the most humane way to kill maggots. Purchase or rent a carpet steam cleaner from your local hardware or drugstore.

The answer of "Summarize the following Oregano can be grown from seeds or clippings, so if you already have some oregano plants, you may want to use clippings instead of buying new seeds. When using seeds, you can generally expect that roughly ¼ of the seeds won't grow, so you may want to plant several. Clippings should only be taken from established plants. You should wait until the roots of your plants are well developed and new growth begins appearing before taking clippings. Oregano is a plant that loves sunshine and soil that drains well, so you should choose a planting location that has these two features. If you live in a colder part of the world, you may want to start your plant indoors and transfer it outside when the weather warms up. Oregano grows best in moderately fertilized soil. It's unlikely that you'll need to add compost or fertilizer for it to grow well. A fully grown oregano plant will be about 2 to 2½ ft tall (61 to 76 cm) and about 2 ft wide (61 cm). For best results in your garden, you should give your oregano about 10 in (25 cm) of space between plants. If you plan on growing your oregano indoors, choose a pot that is about 1 ft (30.5 cm) in diameter. This way your plant has adequate room to grow. You can plant your oregano as early as 6 to 10 weeks before the last predicted frost of spring. However, in colder regions or during a cold snap, you may want to protect your plants with a layer of hay. In place of hay, you can also use bed sheets, blankets, or plastic sheeting. To prevent damage to budding plants, you can use stakes to prop up your covering. Once the sun has risen and the air warmed, you should remove your covering from the plants. When using hay, you should remove it from covering the plants after the last frost." is Choose between seeds or clippings. Select your planting location. Plan extra space for multiple plants.

Context: Straighten up the body and sleeves, brushing out any wrinkles or folds. You can use any clean, flat surface for folding, such as a table, bed, or the floor. Bring 1 side over to meet up with the other, so the 2 sides mirror each other. You can fold either from the left or right—just go with whatever side is more instinctive. Keep the sleeves pressed together as you fold them once backwards. Make a second fold above the elbows going the opposite direction to create a triangle shape. Make sure both sleeves fit on top of the body of the long sleeve t-shirt to create 1 long rectangle shape. Start at the bottom of the shirt and fold it up into a smaller rectangle. If you want to store your shirts standing up in your drawers for easier access, use the thirds technique. If you stack your shirts on a shelf, use the halves technique., Summary: Lay out the T-shirt facedown in front of you and smooth it out. Fold the shirt in half so the sleeves line up perfectly. Fold both sleeves together to create a triangle shape. Tuck the rectangle into halves or thirds to fit in your drawers or shelves. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: . Discuss what type of freshwater, tropical fish you want to have with the salesperson.They should give you tips on which types can and can't get along, and so forth. Look for a locally-owned fish store in the area, since they tend to provide the most accurate information and high-quality fish. Quality pet stores usually have compatibility charts for freshwater and saltwater fish. Although you may see two types of fish you really like, they may not be compatible. The result of bringing them both home would be harassed colorless fish (they lose color when stressed), and eventually the fish that is not the alpha bully will simply die. Why spend the money, right? Often, fish stores will have stickers that indicate whether the fish are "community" fish (highly recommended as they get along with other community fish), "semi-aggressive" or "aggressive". You may mix community fish together, but not a community with semi-aggressive. If this is your first tank, do not get fish that are only recommended for intermediate or experienced aquarium owners. Like owning a dog, there is a reason they are not for beginners. Be aware of the size of the adult fish (not the baby you're getting) and do not get a fish you won't be able to handle down the line. The same goes for freshwater sharks, crabs (who, by the way, try to escape all the time), Cichlids, and animals that bury themselves. It's not fair to the fish. Guppies, platies, swordtails, or mollies are good starter fish. But it all depends on your tank size. If your tank size is 5–10 gallons (18.9–37.9 L), you might get 3-4 African dwarf frogs, or a betta, or possibly a betta and some shrimp. Do lots of research before adding any fish to your tank.Do not only use the 1 inch (2.5 cm) of fish per gallon rule. Know all the fish you hope to eventually have in your fish tank and buy two of the smallest (this goes for all types except for schooling fish, which should be bought in groups of 4 (ideally 6+). You can introduce a new group of fish every 2 weeks. Add the largest fish last. The salesperson will have filled a plastic clear bag with water, then fish, then blow it up with oxygen. When you get to the car, rest the bag in a place where it won't roll around or have something fall on it. Go straight home. The fish can only survive on the water and oxygen they've been given for maybe 2 1/2 hours. For trips longer than that, different packing procedures should be taken. Let it sit there for about 20 or 30 minutes. Then open the bag and let some of the water from the tank in. Be sure to not let any water from the bag into the tank! Let it sit for another 20 or 30 minutes. Gently net the fish out and pour all the pet store's water in the sink. Or pour the fish into the net over a bucket and then release into tank. Discard store water. The reason you do not want to add pet store water into your tank is that the store water may contain unwanted contaminants like parasites, fungus, or freshwater snails. Pet stores that cycle their fish rapidly often treat their water regularly for diseases, but in a home tank you will not have the same tools available and an infection or infestation can wreak havoc on your tank's ecosystem. . Start with two or three fish the first ten days, then get two or three more, wait another ten days, etc. If you put too many fish at once into a new tank, the water will not be able to adequately cycle, and will quickly turn toxic. Patience is the key for the first six to eight weeks. That said, a big mistake people make is to buy schooling fish but only get 1 or 2 of them. This is stressful and cruel for the fish. A school means that a group of 5 is the minimum. A great book for stocking suggestions is "The simple guide to freshwater aquariums by David E Boruchowitz"., A: Choose fish Don't buy all of your fish at once. Transport the fish home safely. After the pet store worker catches your fish, bring the fish home and set the bag in your tank. Introduce the fish to your aquarium | 1 |
The summary of "Make sure they are bird-safe and that toes or beaks cannot get caught in any parts of the toys. Hanging mirrors and bells make great bird toys. Be sure that the bell does not have small gaps in it though, as this can become caught up in the bird's feet. Items that are not safe on toys used for birds include: frayed ropes (could entangle bird feet and beaks); wire (might impale the bird); “jingle-bell” type bells (the bird's feet might get stuck in the small cracks). Change it up a bit! Birds can get bored with the same toys, day in and day out. By buying new toys, you increase their enjoyment and reduce the chances of feather plucking and other boredom-stimulated behaviors. Birds especially enjoy chewable toys, made out of things like pine cones, rawhide chews, rope, or white pine wood. Birds will spend the majority of their time perched in their cage, so set up a few different perches at different heights. Set perches on opposite sides of the cage as well, so the birds can fly and exercise. Include some wooden perches, and some natural tree branches for variety. This helps “file” the bird's beak and nails, so there is less work for you. If you get a natural wood perch, be sure to scrub thoroughly before use, and do not use any cleaning products because many of these contain ingredients that can be toxic to birds. This will fulfill the bird's need to move about in search of food. You can also weave food into the bars of the cage, hide food inside a toy or an enrichment device and hang food from the top or sides of the cage. All of these will help to satisfy the bird's foraging instinct and is a form of mental stimulation." is Keep your shoulders back and down. Hold your head level. Straighten your abdomen.

The answer of "Summarize the following To start the stitch, push the needle into the back of the fabric. Position the tip of the needle so that it will come out right beside the edge of your applique on the front side of the fabric. Once the needle is through the fabric, keep pulling it until the thread is taut. Make sure that the thread only goes through the fabric and not the applique! Next, push the needle back down through the applique and the fabric behind it. Insert the needle about 0.15 in (0.38 cm) from the edge of the applique. This stitch works the same whether you are stitching along a straight or curved edge. Focus on the distance from the edge of the applique to get even stitches. Instead of pulling the thread taut, bring the needle right back out of the fabric on the front side. Bring it out beside the applique rather than going through it, just as you did before. The needle should come out at a point parallel to where you inserted it whether the edge is straight or curved. Before you pull the thread taut, bring the loop of thread around the needle. Then, pull the needle through the loop until the thread is taut. This will secure the first stitch." is Push the needle through the fabric near the outer edge of the applique.

Q: Summarize the following: Choose to get a pergola made of wood if you want to enhance the natural environment. Wood is always a safe choice for any outdoor setting, because it easily fits in. A cedar pergola will repel insects, repel water, give off a nice aroma, and resist decay. Redwood pergolas are desirable because of their strength and attractive appearance. If you’ve got a higher budget, go with pressure treated oak, fir, pine, or bamboo. Depending on the type of metal you choose, metal pergolas can accentuate a variety of styles, including both traditional and more modern. Go with either wrought iron, aluminum, or steel. Wrought iron pergolas are typically both the most expensive and most ornate choice. Choose steel if you want your pergola to stand strong for a long period of time. Aluminum pergolas are popular because they’re inexpensive, sturdy, and lightweight. In recent years, vinyl has become a more popular material choice. Vinyl is cheaper, more lightweight, and easier to clean than the other options. You would only have to spray down a vinyl pergola with a garden hose from time to time to keep it looking good, and you won’t have to worry about any cracks forming. Most vinyl pergolas are white, but you can also find them in gray, tan, and other colors. If you’re wanting to add a “wow” factor to your yard, consider getting a Tuscan style pergola. Its large, round pillars and stone material leave a lavish impression on guests. The stone material makes this style an expensive option, so if you’re working with a small budget, consider getting a Tuscan style that uses materials other than the traditional stone. If you already have a koi pond or a small asian-inspired garden, then a Japanese style pergola would be a great choice. This style is characterized by its wooden beams that curve upward, similar to many other pieces of Japanese architecture. Go for an Amish pergola if you appreciate one-of-a-kind quality woodwork. If you get this style, your pergola will have a distinct grain and coloration unlike any other, and will provide a quaint addition to your yard. Arched pergolas are both stylish and functional. If you want a bigger pergola used as both an impressive focal point and for functional coverage, this may be the best option. Especially if you’re wanting a specific, unique pergola that you can’t just assemble with a kit, you’ll need to make a note of each and every detail. Decide on the size of the corner posts, the size of the lattices, and how much the pergola's roof should overhang the corner posts. This is especially necessary if you’re wanting a very large, very small, or uniquely shaped (round or triangular) pergola. Keep in mind that customization prices add up quickly., A: Go natural with a wooden pergola. Get a metal pergola to add antique or modern flair. Choose vinyl as an easy, lightweight, affordable option. Make a statement with a Tuscan style pergola. Complement your koi pond with a Japanese style. Add handmade charm to your backyard with an Amish pergola. Create height with an arched pergola. Customize the details of your pergola. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following There are a number of quick ways to get rid of your car for guaranteed cash. However, the amount of money you'll make using these methods is minimal. Only sell your car to a scrapyard, parts lot, or dealership if you either have a car that doesn't work, or can't bear to wait any longer to get rid of it. The quickest way to get rid of a car that's a complete wreck is to sell it to a scrap metal company. These businesses pay a flat rate per car, regardless of its condition. However, they also do you the service of coming with a tow truck and hauling away your old car themselves, which makes it a tempting proposition if you've got a rusted out hunk of junk gathering weeds in the side yard. Pay rates vary between operators, but you can typically expect to get no more than $100 out of your car if you sell it to scrap junkers. Don't ever pay for them to come to you. Junkyards full of stacked cars and mean-looking Rottweilers are becoming more and more a thing of the past. In their place are user-friendly, organized yards where dead cars with parts that still work can be picked over to fix other cars of the same make and model. Franchise operations such as Pick-n-Pull make offers based on their estimate of the parts value of your car, so you can expect to get more than you'd get from a scrap hauler as long as your car is mostly in good condition. On the down side, you often have to get the car to the junkyard yourself in order to get paid. Selling to a parts yard is an ideal way to get rid of an older car with one or two problems that would be very expensive to fix at a shop, such as a busted alternator or timing belt. If you live close enough to the lot, the company might send a tow truck for you; otherwise, you'll probably have to pay for a private tow. Car dealerships often have good deals on used cars that you can make even sweeter by trading in your car as part of the down payment on your new ride. Dealerships tend to offer a decent chunk of change when you sell your vehicle as a trade-in; on the other hand, they aren't as likely to buy from you if you don't plan to also buy something from them. Dealerships strongly prefer that the car you trade in is in good working order. They'll buy a car with minor problems (such as drained air conditioning), but they usually balk at cars that won't start or run. Dealerships will usually give you an okay deal on your trade-in, but sometimes you can haggle an extra hundred or two out of it." is Expect less money. Sell to a scrapyard. Sell to a parts yard.

Context: Many online jewelry retailers offer printable charts that show a number of circles of different sizes. For even better accuracy, look at a sizing chart from your personal retailer. That way, you’ll know the sizing on the chart will match the sizing of their products. A distorted chart could lead to inaccurate sizing, which means the ring you order might not fit. Ensure any scaling options on your printer are turned off. Choose a great-fitting ring—one that fits snugly, but isn’t too tight. Again, make sure the ring fits the correct finger; even your two ring fingers can be different sizes! If you don't own a ring, make one by wrapping some wire or paper around your finger, and use that instead. The circle should match the inside of the ring for the perfect fit. If you’re stuck between two close sizes, go for the larger size. The reason you want to go larger is because your finger will swell throughout the day. If the ring is too small, it'll be too tight. Don't match the circle up with the outside of the ring, otherwise the ring will be too small for you., Summary: Find and print a ring sizing chart. Find a ring you own that fits the finger you’re trying to size. Place your ring over the circles on the chart. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following You might think these things can wait until you’ve actually assembled a team. However, “branding” your team right away makes it easier to draw in players. Take into account your prospective player pool and think about what will appeal to them. Use an online random sports team name generator for a unique name, or grab a dictionary and a thesaurus for some creative inspiration. Rely on your own artistic skills to create a simple team logo, or search online for logo creation sites—you may be able to get a custom design for as little as $50 USD. Choose a team color scheme and uniform style that you think will appeal to your target pool of players. For example, you might choose a name and color pattern that is reminiscent of a popular college or professional sports team in your area. If, for instance, the local college team is the Bears, you might call your youth team the Cubs. Use all methods at your disposal to let potential players (and parents, if it’s a youth team) know about your new team. Utilize your team name, logo, and color scheme as you spread the word. Use social media to inform potential players and/or parents. Use your personal accounts, but also consider creating “official” team accounts. You may even want to create a team website. Don’t ignore low-tech methods like posting flyers in spots where potential players will see them. For example, you might post flyers for a youth team at the local library and ice cream shop. As you start to sign up interested players, make sure you have good systems in place for collecting key things like contact information and payments (such as registration fees). Set up a spreadsheet, for instance, to keep track of things such as: Names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of interested players. For youth teams, you'll need information from parents or guardians as well. Completion of registration forms and collection of registration fees. Signups for insurance or insurance waivers (if required by your league). Relevant measurements for uniforms and equipment. As your team roster fills out with players who have signed up, ask for any preferences or restrictions regarding practice times and locations. Accommodate the players as best you can, but also make sure that the practice schedule works well for you. For a youth team, for example, don't schedule late evening or night practices. You may also have to arrange for carpools with parents. Make sure you’re also aware of any league rules regarding practice times or locations." is Create a catchy team name, logo, and uniform.

Context: Is your use of porn relatively normal or getting into serious addiction territory? Look for these signs and symptoms to get a clearer sense of how much porn dominates your everyday life: You cannot stop watching porn or doing behaviors associated with porn, despite attempting to leave them behind. You feel angry or irritable if you are asked to stop using porn (even when you ask yourself). You keep all or part of your porn use secret from family and friends. You feel like you lead a double life because of your hidden porn use. You continue to view porn despite negative consequences, such as suffering relationships or trouble in school. You have lost track of large chunks of time because you've been absorbed in porn use. To better understand what you're going through, learn what could be at stake. It can be easy to convince yourself that everybody watches porn and that maybe you don't have a problem after all. Knowing the following potential effects of porn addiction shows you the real dangers of the problem: Broken or troubled intimate relationships Difficulty staying interested in relationships and dating prospects Feelings of shame and/or guilt Problems with work or school, like dropping grades High risk of engaging in dangerous or unhealthy sexual activity, with an increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases Eventual inability to become aroused in non-pornographic situations Because the addiction involves lewd material, you might be tempted to think of yourself as impure, perverted, or morally in the wrong for having ever developed the problem in the first place. However, adding blame and guilt to the mix will only make it more difficult to find the confidence needed to resist temptation and throw yourself into other activities. Popular methods like pinching yourself every time you look at porn will create a forbidden fruit effect which makes it all the more difficult to give porn up. What’s more, you’ll come to have negative associations with your own sexuality, which can make getting to the root problems of the porn addiction more complicated. A trigger is anything that makes you feel like you want to watch porn. A trigger could be a certain moment in your routine, like getting ready to go to sleep, or it could be a pop-up ad of a scantily clad actor. Knowing your triggers is important because you will learn when to ramp up your efforts not to watch. You can then replace watching with something that will successfully divert your attention until the urge goes away on its own. For example, if you see an ad that makes you want to watch porn, train yourself to play a round of your favorite video game instead. You may not be able to avoid the ad entirely, but you can begin to replace porn with a less harmful habit. After a while you may not need to take such strong efforts to avoid certain triggers or rigidly replace porn watching with the same alternative behavior every time. When you’re trying to kick the habit initially, though, be very diligent about diverting yourself in moments of temptation. If there are triggers you can avoid entirely, you may want to do so. This could make the initial decrease in use easier. Just be careful that you don’t spend so much time avoiding, say, certain music or friends that get you in the mood to watch. If you try to let these triggers back into your life after intense avoidance of them, you run the risk of relapsing into porn use., Summary: Identify your symptoms. Learn the unexamined effects of porn addiction. Avoid beating yourself up. Learn your triggers. | 1 |
Context: If you are worried that you may have scurvy, it is important to see your physician for definitive diagnosis and treatment. Your physician will start by asking you detailed questions about your dietary habits, to assess how much vitamin C you are getting. He or she will also perform a physical exam, looking for the signs and symptoms of scurvy. If your physician is concerned that you may have scurvy, the next step is to go for blood tests to have your vitamin C and iron levels measured. The reason that iron is measured as well is that your body's ability to absorb iron from your diet depends on the presence of vitamin C; therefore, if you have a shortage of vitamin C, you are prone to being iron deficient as well. Both of these are able to be measured in simple blood tests, and there are treatment options available should you prove to be deficient in vitamin C and/or iron. Since scurvy can negatively affect the joints (particularly in young children where it can lead to a growth arrest), your doctor will likely order x-rays of your knees, your wrists, and your ribs as a starting point. This can give him or her an indication of the health of your joints and bones, and provide insight as to whether or not they have been negatively impacted by a potential scurvy diagnosis., Summary: See your physician. Ask for blood tests. Obtain x-rays of your joints. | 1 |
Passage: First, carry a little notebook around with you and jot down possible members. Look at your names and narrow it down to a few. Make a pro/con list about each one. Select two or three names (your clique should have three to six members, including you) to be in your clique. You should have an alpha (the leader of the clique-you!), a beta (the alpha's assistant, second-in-command, and best friend), 1 or 2 "Charlies" (third on the group's importance list; the supporters), and the followers (members of the clique who will respect you without a doubt). Do everything together, from shopping to eating lunch in the cafeteria. Make sure you are always seen with them, so people start to see you as a clique. Have a little thing you all wear, like a piece of jewelry. Don't be too forward with the jewelry, or whatever you've chosen. Only proceed with this step when you have become best friends with your clique. Then, after school, or during a private moment, present to them. Then, casually, say, "Hey, why don't we all wear these on ___?" If the tables are all connected, put your stuff on the chairs surrounding you, so that no one sits there. Also, make sure that your clique follows steps 1-6, so it will look like a clique. Tip: make a copy of the same playlist on their phones and memorize the night before or wear them in your ears to school. (Try Pretty Girl Rock; it's a nice one for confidence.) Ensure that your clique is always having fun all the time, to make everyone envy you, hence making you the "it" clique., Summary: Start your clique. Become friends with the girls in your clique. Have a lot of inside jokes and secrets between you guys so you feel more like a group. Don't let anyone else sit with you at lunch. Move in sync with your clique everywhere you go. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following . With archery, eye dominance is more important than hand-dominance because your dominant eye is what will handle aiming and judging distances. To figure out which of your eyes is dominant, point your finger toward a distant wall or object and close 1 of your eyes. If your finger appears to jump, you closed your dominant eye. Most archery equipment is labeled as "right-handed" or "left-handed" in reference to which hand pulls back the bowstring. If your dominant eye does not line up with your dominant hand, purchase equipment for your weaker hand. Though it may take your hands some time to adjust, picking gear based on your eyes will boost your precision. Typically, you can use crossbows in either hand. to go with your bow. For crossbows, look for bolts that adhere to the length, density, and nock recommendations given by your bow’s manufacturer. When dealing with drawstring bows, purchase arrows that are about 2 in (5.1 cm) longer than your draw length. If possible, purchase high-quality arrows made from carbon fiber, aluminium, fiberglass, or wood. If you’re planning to shoot targets, get arrows with field point heads. If you’re going hunting, use broadhead or blunt tips instead. Judo points are also used. They have small clasps that grip onto the prey after you shoot it. To find your draw length, pull back your bow as if you were going to shoot it. Then, have a friend measure the distance between the front of the bow and the back of the string. Certain pieces of equipment are essential for ensuring both a safe and enjoyable shooting experience. Some items to consider buying include an arm-guard to cover you bow arm and protect it from bowstring slaps, a plastic chest protector to prevent string burn along your chest, gloves or a finger tab to protect your hands from string injuries, and a quiver to hold your arrows. The finger tab/glove is the most important. Without it, you can get permanent nerve damage even on a 20 lb. bow. Trying to tough it out is not a good option even if you have developed callouses by playing guitar or something else. For archery, the best way to practice is with a personal target. These come in a variety of forms including bag targets, which work well for simple point heads, foam targets, which can handle notch and broadheads, and 3D targets, which look like wild animals, zombies, and other creatures. Along with targets, consider buying things like: Strength training bars Release trainers Practice bows" is Understand whether you're eligible to file a judgment lien.

Passage: Stick to this schedule every evening and morning, even on weekends and holidays. Your body will get used to the consistent rhythm of your sleep schedule, helping you to fall asleep faster and wake up more refreshed.The average adult should aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night, and teens should aim for 8-10 hours. It may sound silly, but you should imagine yourself hitting your alarm as soon as it goes off, stretching, and jumping right out of bed. If you visualize it enough times, it will become second nature to you in the morning. Additionally, think of at least two things you're looking forward to the next day. If you go to bed feeling positive, you will be more excited about getting up. Positive visualization helps to calm your mind and body, making it easier for you to fall asleep more quickly and deeply., Summary: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.

The summary of "Pi, it turns out, also has a place in an interesting thought experiment called Buffon's Needle Problem, which seeks to determine the likelihood that randomly tossed uniform elongated objects will land either between or crossing a series of parallel lines on the floor. It turns out that if the distance between the lines is the same as the length of the tossed objects, the number of times the objects land across the lines out of a large number of throws can be used to calculate pi. Check out the above WikiHow article link for a fun breakdown of this experiment using thrown food. Scientists and mathematicians have not figured out a way to calculate pi exactly, since they have not been able to find a material so thin that it will work to find exact calculations." is Try this experiment to calculate pi by throwing hotdogs. | 1 |
Context: Passion is the single most important ingredient for a successful business. If you don't love what you do, entrepreneurship will be a constant grind that ends in defeat. As the owner of your own business, you have to go all in. You can't do that unless you love your company. Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses. Have your business play to your strengths. For instance, if you specialize in cooking and customer service, start a restaurant! If you're more mathematically oriented, go into accounting or engineering. If you're a people person, start your own party planning business! Make a list of your passions. If you love baseball, running, watching sports, and going to the gym, consider starting a personal training business. If you are already an entrepreneur, ask yourself if you love what you do. Be honest with yourself. If you truly do love your work, your determination will be reaffirmed. If you're struggling and don't like the kind of work your business does, consider changing your company to align with your interests or starting over from scratch. Be determined to succeed. A positive mindset will lead to positive results. Running your own business is more than a full time job. It's your life. You need to be committed or you won't make it. Be prepared to work harder than you've ever worked before. Starting a company from the ground up requires an enormous effort. You need to be committed if you hope to succeed. Have a mindset of working as hard as possible. This will be stressful, but especially at the beginning, there's no time off. You need to work constantly to grow your business. Otherwise, somebody else is working harder than you and they'll succeed rather than you. Work from home. Answer emails and make calls even when you're out of the office. Make sure you take time off too, though. It can be tempting to work 24/7. The trick is to be at 100 percent when you work. Working harder is better than working longer. To be at your best, you need time off. Take a short vacation if you're feeling burned out. Take time to stretch your legs and relax during the work day. Take lunch breaks every day. Organization is key to being efficient with your time. This doesn't just mean keeping your paperwork and files in order. You have to have systems and routines in place to accomplish daily tasks. To-do lists are a great way to stay organized. Create a calendar that has everything on it. This is more efficient than separate calendars for separate activities. Include work, social, and family events into your calendar. Keep it up to date, and check it regularly. Budget your time wisely. You should look to fill the entire day with productive work, punctuated by short breaks. Don't waste time on a fool's errand or a long shot. Tap in to you inner creativity and trust your intuition. A big part of what sets successful businesses apart is that the owners are trail blazers. You can't just follow in everyone else's footsteps. At some point, you have to set yourself apart from the pack. You need to take risks to be successful. You won't always have all the information or all the resources necessary to make a decision. Go out on a limb and trust that you'll make the right choice. Brainstorm and come up with new solutions. Try your own method of fundraising or your own approach to managing employees. Better yet, come up with a new product entirely. This is essential, because you don't know everything. Build relationships with industry professionals and take their advice to heart. Work closely with your business partners and employees, and ask them for the input. Even if you don't take it, they'll appreciate the sentiment. Good leaders always ask for help. You need to accept that you don't know everything, and you can be a better leader with the collective knowledge of your friends and coworkers. Try to find a mentor in your industry to help you along the way. All the best entrepreneurs take time and money to better themselves and become experts in their fields. Buy your market's best books and journals, and read about the market every day. Attend business seminars and constantly educate yourself. Practice the relevant skills and take classes. Money should be no object when investing in yourself. Those investments will always have the biggest returns in the long run. You should, however, balance time spend on yourself and time spent on your business. Your business should come first in the short term, but self-investment should focus on the long term. Project a positive image and it will pervade your company. You are the standard bearer for your business. How you act determines how people perceive your business. Go out of your way to make sure your image is professional and welcoming. Go out of your way to make a good first impression.

Have an open-door policy, and encourage people to come talk to you about anything and everything. Always dress for the part. This is essential for your image. Look and act professional at all times. Have a top-notch office if possible. If you work from home, have meetings in a public place like a coffee shop or library instead. Eight out of ten small businesses fail. The odds are against you, and you're sure to face adversity. To come out successful, you need tenacity and determination. Don't be afraid to take risks. You need to be relentless and fearless to overcome the challenges ahead. If you aren't that kind of person, being an entrepreneur may not be for you. Find motivation to keep going. Have a personal mantra, a pump up song, a person in your life to push you, or an inner flame that keeps you going. Whatever it is, you need to be strong and motivated. If you fail, get up and try again. It may take you a couple tries to get a successful business off the ground. Don't be discouraged if you fail the first time., Summary: Listen to what they have to say. Articulate their feelings back to them. Explain why you’ve made a rule or request. Describe the problem.

The summary of "Organic seeds, beans, or nuts are all sproutable, using the same basic method. Make sure you get organic, or pesticide-free seeds intended for edible sprouts. Many commercial seeds, used for planting, are pre-coated with fungicides, pesticides, and other things that you won't want to eat. Experiment with a variety of seeds and legumes to learn what kind of sprouts you like best. It takes a minimal amount of preparation and supplies to start. Select between: Seeds like sesame, sunflower, buckwheat, or pumpkin Legumes or beans like mung beans, lentils, chickpeas, adzuki, or green peas Whole grains like barley, corn, wheat, quinoa, amaranth or rye Vegetable seeds like alfalfa, clover, radish, kale, cabbage, fenugreek, or turnip Pour in enough water to cover the seeds and let sit. Cover the top with cheesecloth, or some type of repurposed mesh: a woman's stocking, a section of screen, anything you could cinch on top and drain through would be perfect. Any type of clean glass jar is perfect for making sprouts. Old pickle jars, mason jars, or other glass containers can be repurposed for sprouts. If you've still got the metal ring around the mouth of the mason jar, you can use it to hold the mesh covering in place, or you could use a hair tie, rubber band, or other elastic band to do the same. You can also buy a plastic sprouting lid with a mesh top for draining sprouts. If you want to sprout microgreens like wheatgrass or pea shoots, you'll also need seed beds, soil, and a bit more time on your hands. In general, you should rinse any type of sprouts every morning and evening, then drain them thoroughly to promote germination, without removing them from the jar. When sprouting legumes, it's common to swirl some water in after a few days to break up the hulls and let the sprouts form. You'll control the moisture by periodically rinsing the sprouts, but you'll also need to maintain an even temperature to promote germination. Keep your sprouts between 50 and 70 degrees F. If your home is especially cool at a particular time of year, you might need a heater. An 8-watt heater for reptile tanks placed under a sprouter will help without cooking them and ruining the germination. Some sprouts such as radish sprout better in darkness, but they will need to be in light after sprouting in order to turn green and grow larger. In general, most sprouts are perfectly fine in the daylight and normal room-temperature conditions. As soon as you're happy with the length of your sprouts, enjoy them on sandwiches, salads, or soups. Put any uneaten sprouts in the refrigerator. They'll keep in the fridge for about five days, but will eventually start to brown and get a little slimy, which means it's time to sprout more and toss these out. Each variety of sprout differs slightly in the length of time and the proper treatment of the sprouts, once soaked and germinated for several hours. Some can remain in the jar for a few days to grow longer and more tender, while others will need to be replanted onto a seed bed for optimum growth and deliciousness. Consult the specific section below for more information about the specific type of sprouts you want to grow. Some sprouts will need to be dehulled after sprouting for several days. Swirl the sprouts in water to help separate the hulls, and be sure to drain afterwards." is Take birth control. Get electrolysis. Have laser hair removal. Try a medicated cream. | 0 |

The summary of "Stem cell therapy is not a cure-all for diseases. Using stem cells, especially unregulated or unproven stem cell therapies, can possibly result in infection at the injection site, the growth of tumors, and rejection of donor cells by your immune system. For this reason, it is important that you talk to your primary care doctor before starting therapy. Avoid going to so-called “stem cell clinics.” These clinics often promote unregulated and unproven therapies, which can cause unpredictable side effects and injures. There are currently only 2 treatments known to be safe and effective forms of stem cell therapy. These are blood stem cell transplants for blood and immune disorders and skin grafts for skin injuries and disorders. If you have 1 of these conditions, talk to your doctor to see if stem cell treatment is right for you. You can find clinics promising to treat any condition with stem cell therapy, but that does not mean that it has been scientifically proven that stem cell therapy can treat it. Currently, stem cells are being studied to treat macular degeneration, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and heart disease. If you have either of these conditions, talk to your doctor about joining a clinical trial instead. A good doctor will make you aware of all of your options for treatment, not just stem cell therapy. They will be honest and upfront about your risks and benefits of stem cell therapy. If the doctor tries to push you into stem cell therapy or if they will not answer your questions, find another doctor. You might ask: "Is this a routine or approved stem cell treatment for my condition? What other treatments available that may be as effective?" "What are the benefits of using stem cell therapy instead of other treatments for my condition? What are the risks of stem cell therapy compared to other treatments?" "How will you administer the stem cells? What types of stem cells are you using and where do they come from?" "Will you use my own stem cells or stem cells from a donor? If you are using a donor, how will you prevent my immune system from rejecting the cells?" "What accreditation does your clinic have? What is the accreditation of the facility that makes the stem cells?" Your doctor may take stem cells from bone marrow, your bloodstream, or from donor umbilical cord blood. The stem cells will be administered through an intravenous (IV) line. Each treatment can take between 1-5 hours. Usually only 1 transplant is needed. It can take up to 1-2 years for you to fully recover, however. During this time, your doctor will continue to monitor your blood. Talk to your doctor to determine if this type of transplant is right for your condition. This treatment is often used for cancers like leukemia and neuroblastoma. The FDA has approved a list of cord blood agents that can be used safely in the US. Check that the cord blood your doctor gives you comes from one of the facilities on this list: https://www.fda.gov/biologicsbloodvaccines/cellulargenetherapyproducts/approvedproducts/default.htm A skin graft is a treatment where healthy skin is attached to injured or burned skin. The healthy skin contains stem cells. Typically, the donor skin comes from a healthy part of your own body or from a donor. Some laboratories are even growing skin sheets from stem cells. Your doctor will advise you on the best treatment for your condition. It take up to 2-3 weeks for a skin graft to fully heal." is Understand that training does not guarantee you a position.

The answer of "Summarize the following Flip your mirror over so the backside is facing up. Then put felt pads on the bottom corners. These pads will prevent the frame from scraping against your wall, and will help air circulate between it and the wall. You can find these felt pads at most large retailers that sell home supply goods. D-rings are a better option than eye screws because they will lie flat against the back of your mirror’s frame. This will allow your mirror to hang up right against the surface of the wall. D-rings come in different sizes, so you’ll want to make sure that you choose D-rings that can bear the weight of your mirror. You can buy D-rings at any home improvement store. First, use a tape measure to measure the length of the mirror. Then measure a third of this distance from the top of the mirror. Mark this point in the middle of each side. This will be where you will attach the D-rings. Screw 1 D-ring into each side where you made a mark in the previous step. You should screw them in so that the eye of the D-ring is on top. Hanging wire designed to hang picture frames and mirrors to a wall is the best type of wire to hang your mirror. Floral wire, electrical wire, string, and other type of wire are not as secure and can fail. Your wire should be around 10 centimetres (3.9 in) longer than the width of your mirror’s frame. Once you’ve screwed in D-rings to the back of your mirror’s frame, run the hanging wire through the two rings. Then tightly secure the ends of the wire to the D-rings. Make sure the wire is taut when you pull on it. When you pull on it, the wire should also not rise above the top of the frame." is Affix felt pads to the bottom of your mirror’s backside. Choose D-rings to attach wire to the back of your mirror. Measure the placement of the D-rings. Attach the D-rings with screws. Use hanging wire designed to hang mirrors and picture frames.

The summary of "Before initiating such an important conversation, take some time to think about why you want to have this discussion with your parents. Is it because you are secure in your sexuality and confident that you want to live your life openly? Or are you feeling angry, resentful, and overwhelmed? If you are upset or angry, then it may not be the most appropriate time to share this information. There are many reasons why you might choose to come out. It is up to you as an individual to decide when it is a good time and when there is a good reason. For instance, maybe you are very close to your parents and you don't like the distance that keeping a secret creates between all of you. Avoid coming out because of anger. Remember, your sexuality is not a weapon to be used to upset anyone. If you feel that the only result will be a hateful response, consider waiting to have this talk. Consider your living situation. Do you depend on your parents for housing and necessities such as food? Or do they pay your college tuition? Think about the possible consequences of coming out. You want to feel very confident that your parents will continue to support you despite your gayness. If you are worried about being kicked out of your home, consider waiting to come out until you are financially independent. Consider your safety. Are you scared that one or both of your parents may become violent? Make sure you have a plan to get to a safe space if that occurs. One strategy is to identify a friend who can provide a safe place for you to go if the conversation with your parents does not go well. This space can also give your parents time to reflect on the conversation so you can have a follow-up conversation. You also want to think about the possible benefits of coming out. For example, this could make your relationship with your parents much stronger. You might also feel emotionally better and a huge relief knowing that you don't have to keep your sexual identity a secret. Try having a variety of plans ready. For example, if your parents are open to listening to you, figure out exactly how much you want to share. Or, if your parents are angry, what will you do? Will you give them space? Will you talk to another trusted family member, friend or relative? Make sure that, whatever you decide, you are respectful and understand it may take your parents some time to absorb what you've told them. Make a plan in case your parents are not supportive. Are you prepared to cut off contact with them? Do you have a safe place to stay, if necessary? If your parents request space, or if they no longer seem to be hearing you, don't press the issue. This may increase the stress and tension in the moment. Try to set an agreed-upon date and time to have a follow-up conversation. Your parents may not be able to process any more information until they can fully absorb what you have already shared. Preparing to come out can be a really emotional experience. It is perfectly normal to feel anxious or even scared. Having a good support system can be really helpful in this situation. Before coming out to your parents, make sure that you have at least one ally. Maybe you've already come out to one or more close friends. Ask them to support you before and after your talk with your parents. You can also seek support from your college or community's LGBT support center. Anyone that you really trust can be an ally for you. Talk to the person about your plan to come out to your parents. Find someone in your support group who is willing to let you stay with them if things do not go well during the discussion. This is an important conversation so it is a good idea to be as prepared as possible. Try writing down what you want to say before you actually have the discussion. You can even make note cards to keep with you. They can help you to make sure that you have said everything you want to say. Try practicing with a friend or relative. They can help you figure out the right words. Try to figure out, at the very least, what you want to use as your opening line. You might say, "Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you. Please listen to me with an open heart and an open mind." Your parents might be very surprised by your news. Try not to startle them even more by telling them your story as they are on their way out the door to work, for instance. Instead, look for a time where your parents are relaxed and able to give you their full attention. It's also important to choose the right place. In many cases, it might be best to do this in private. Your living room might be a good choice. If you have any concerns about your safety, though, a public place might be a better choice. You could consider a coffee shop. Or you could go to a relative's house if they are supportive of you." is Learn the color wheel. Place the most flattering colors nearest to your face.

Passage: . Getting immediate professional care for the patient is crucial. It can mean the difference between life and death. Before you take steps to dress the wound yourself, call for emergency medical personnel if possible. In many places where cell phone service is not available, it is still possible to call emergency services. If you cannot personally make the phone call for any reason, designate another specific person to make the call. If you know what to do for the wound and there is someone else around, have them call the emergency services while you work on the wound. There are universal precautions that you should take before dealing with an injured person. These are for your protection and theirs. Make sure to be safe even as you work to prevent more serious harm to the victim. Wash your hands with soap and water. Wear gloves, if available. If they are unavailable, you can use shopping bags or bread bags. Wear a face mask and eye protection if possible. Dispose of anything contaminated with blood or bodily fluids in a safe way. If there are both exit and entry wounds, both of them will need to be dressed. The wounds may not be obvious, depending on what the victim is wearing, so be sure to look underneath their clothes and on their back. If there is more than one wound or opening, you should first handle a wound that is gaping and uncovered. Using a cloth or a piece of clothing or plastic, cover the entire wound, as well as two inches past its edge. If you can hear air passing through the chest cavity or see blood bubbling, tape two or three sides of the cloth down. This will stop air from building up in the chest. After you deal with a gaping wound, you should look for wounds where you can stop the bleeding, if applicable. A gaping chest wound should be your first priority, but, after that, you should work to stop bleeding, wherever it may be. A chest wound is often characterized by bleeding, frothy blood, shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing. The chest may not rise normally when the person inhales. The wound should be immediately exposed by removing clothing and any other objects from the area. Cut the clothes off if they are covering the wound, but if clothing is stuck to the wound, don’t try to remove it, as it could cause more pain or injury. Do not attempt to clean the wound. If you’re in a chemical environment, do everything you can to prevent exposing the wound and the first aid provider to the chemicals., Summary: Use oil-free foundations for skin that is prone to breakouts.

Context: Now that you've unloaded your stuff at your new home, it's likely that you're feeling overwhelmed. Have patience and don't force yourself to start unpacking everything right away. Just focus on getting it done little by little and you'll have your new place ready in no time. Here's what you can do: Unpack your essential items first.

Context: No matter how well you run your business, you’re bound to get unhappy customers on occasion. However, if you respond well to complaints, you can turn bad customer experiences into excellent ones. If you receive a complaint, it is important to address it as quickly as possible. Even if you can’t resolve the issue right away, reach out to the customer immediately to let them know you are working on it, or to ask them for more information to help you fix the problem. If you can, respond to a customer complaint in 30 minutes or less. If you’re not able to respond that quickly, do your best to respond within 1 business day. Even if the customer is being rude or difficult, do your best to handle their complaint gracefully and respectfully. Listen to what they have to say, and validate their frustration. Don’t react defensively or try to place the blame on somebody else. For example, you might say, “I’m sorry our order form isn’t working for you. That sounds really frustrating. Let me pull up the website and see if I can figure out what’s going on.” Even if the problem is not your fault, an apology will go a long way toward making an unhappy customer feel better about their experience. Offer a simple, straightforward apology. For example, you might say, “I’m sorry that our service isn’t working for you. What can we do to set things right for you?” Take time to communicate with your customer and figure out exactly what the issue is. If you have to, ask questions until you understand exactly what is going on. Repeat or rephrase what your customer is saying to make sure that you understand it correctly. Try prompting the customer to explain their problem in detail with a question like, “Could you please tell me exactly what is happening when you try to make the order?” Listen patiently and try not to interrupt the customer, even if it is taking a long time for them to explain. Once you’ve figured out exactly what the issue is, talk to your customer about how you can make it right. If the problem is easy to resolve, simply tell the customer what you can do (e.g., “Okay, I’ve fixed the glitch in the system, and now I’m going to go ahead and place your order for you.”). For more complicated issues, try to work out a mutually satisfactory solution with the customer. If you’re not sure how to satisfy an unhappy customer, ask them what they think would be a fair and reasonable solution to the problem. Try offering your own solution, and see if they find it acceptable. For example, “Unfortunately, I can’t accept returns on this kind of item. However, I’d be happy to send you a replacement free of charge, or offer you credit on a future purchase. Would that work for you?” After you’ve resolved the issue, make it clear to the customer that you care about their satisfaction by checking in with them to make sure they are satisfied with the way the problem was addressed. Wait 24-48 hours, then give them a call or send them a note. Thank them for choosing your product or service, apologize again for the problem, and ask if there’s anything else you can do to make their next experience better.

Passage: Whether using a cloth or specific tools, be sure to rid your device of dust and debris daily. Clean hearing aids and parts in the morning to ensure that wax is dry and easier to remove. Remove your hearing aid batteries nightly and store in a dehumidifier or dryer in order to protect them from moisture. MultiTools usually provide a device to assist in the removal of batteries. If you don’t have a dryer for storage, leave the batteries in the hearing aid and leave the compartment open over night to dry out any moisture. Heat tends to damage batteries so choose to store them at room temperature. Insert hearing aids only after you have applied makeup, hairspray and other products to avoid buildup of foreign matter. Keep hearing aids in a safe, dry location (such as a dehumidifier or dryer) when not in use. Visit your healthcare professional every 3-6 months to do hearing checks and to check the functionality of your device. Never attempt to do repairs on your own., Summary: Clean daily. Protect your batteries. Avoid foreign materials. Visit your audiologist often. | 1 |

Q: Summarize the following: Rats need exercise and free roam time to prevent boredom and cabin fever. Rats that don't get let out tend to become territorial, aggressive towards people, and shy. Let your rats out at least once a day in their play area for at least an hour. If you have the time, let them out more often for longer, and don't forget to interact with them when they're out! Rats are extremely social animals and will feel cramped and bored if they stay in their cage with no interaction. Even if you have a few rats, the cage simply isn't enough space for them to roam and be curious. Handle your rats with care, as mishandled rats can start to distrust people and may become aggressive. Never squeeze or throw your rats, only hold them in your palm or let them walk on your arms. Rats are very quick and very nimble, so even if you think the cardboard barrier is tall enough, a rat can jump it if desperate enough. Rats also fight quite often, but break up fights that get particularly vicious. Never leave the room your rats are playing in or you won't be able to prevent them from escaping, fighting, or chewing things they shouldn't. When play fighting, rats will squeak and tumble around, but when really fighting, their fur raises and they scream a lot louder and a lot more often, usually while wrestling quite viciously. Break up fights that seem too rough, but let your rats play if they aren't actively scratching or biting each other. Check your rats for scratches and bites if the fight got too intense. Keep the rats separated until they've both calmed down if one has been hurt. For particularly bad injuries, contact your vet for help. Rats are incredibly prone to respiratory issues — in fact, it's the number one cause of rat deaths. Do not smoke or vape in the same room as your rats ever, and turn off oil diffusers and put out candles in the same room as well. Use dust-free lining for the cage and clean it at least once a week to further prevent respiratory issues. If you see your rat pee or poop in the play area, wipe it or pick it up with a dry paper towel and discard it. Clean the underlying tarp or blanket between uses to minimize the risk of getting your rats sick or stinking up the play area. If the blanket or tarp doesn't smell or has no stains, it's usually fine to use at least one more time before a wash. Always wash and clean your tarp or blanket if your rats relieved themselves on it. Rinse non-cardboard toys under water, wash fabric tunnels at least once a week, and replace cardboard boxes as they start to smell and get chewed up. This ensures that your rats' play area is fresh and clean every time, and reduces the chance of getting respiratory issues or diseases. If the barrier itself becomes damaged, try duct tape to cover holes first, but you may need to remove damaged panels and re-attach new ones if the holes are unfixable., A: Let your rats out for free-range play time at least once a day. Keep an eye on the rats as they play to watch for escapes and fights. Avoid smoking or vaping in the same room as the rats. Clean up messes as soon as they occur, and wash the blanket or tarp between uses. Wash and repair toys as the rats dirty and damage them. | 1 |
Context: Sometimes you will have a singular verb paired with a plural verb in the same sequence. Look at the noun closest to the verb (usually the noun following "nor") to determine the tense. If this noun is plural, make your verb plural. If it is singular, make the verb singular. If you're in doubt, read the just the second noun and the verb aloud to see if it sounds right. Incorrect example: "Neither they nor he are interested." Correct example: "Neither they nor he is interested." Incorrect example: "Neither he nor they is interested." Correct example: "Neither he nor they are interested." When “nor” sets off a dependent clause, no comma is necessary. Similarly, a comma is not necessary if “nor” is only used to draw a relationship between two nouns. If it sets off an independent clause, however, you should proceed the “nor” with a comma. A dependent clause is a sentence fragment that relies on the rest of the sentence to be complete. An independent clause contains both a subject and a verb, and as a result, it could be separated from the rest of the sentence and still stand on its own. Correct example: “No one knew the answer, nor did they make a guess.” Incorrect example: “No one knew the answer nor did they make a guess.”, Summary: Look at only the second noun if the tenses are mixed. Use a comma when "nor" sets off an independent clause. | 1 |
Context: Before you can style a beard, you have to give it time to grow. Leave it alone. Seriously, no trimming or shaving for at least a couple of weeks. It’ll look messy, but remember that your beard won’t look the same when it reaches full length. When starting clean-shaven, it takes at least two weeks to achieve short beard status. You can then begin trimming unless you want your beard to be longer. Every beard grows at a different rate and to different lengths. For some men, a full-length, natural beard can take up to a year to grow. Let the beard grow for about a month before you try trimming it. Pick up a beard trimmer to refine the edges but be careful! Remember that you’re removing very little hair here. Too much means a look you’d rather hide from friends. Even out the neckline at your Adam’s apple. Cut hairs above the natural line of your cheeks until your beard line forms a curve from ear to ear. Trimmers with adjustable guards are needed to accomplish the fade. Start from your Adam’s apple with a low-number guard such as a two or three. Trim all the way up to where your neck meets your jaw. Switch to a one or two guard and shave up an inch (2.5 cm) from your Adam’s apple. The lower the guard number, the closer it cuts your hair. A one guard leaves behind less hair than a two guard, but using them next to one another creates a gradual fade. Anything below your Adam’s apple should be shaved. Carefully use a razor or remove the guard from your trimmer. Once you’ve established your look, all that’s left is maintaining it. Over time, it’ll grow and lose shape. When you notice this, trim the edges again and renew the fade. Trimmer guards make length maintenance simple. Find a guard that leaves you with the hair length you desire and stroke it downwards through your beard. Scissors are another option for shortening overgrown hairs. Establish a routine of washing, oiling, and brushing your beard if you haven’t already. Your beard will thank you by being plush and pliable. Getting the opinion of a professional never hurts in matters of the beard. In addition to giving you advice on what style works best for you, they’ll keep your beard in tip-top shape. Ask for a beard trimming every three to four weeks. If you ever doubt what you’re doing at home, your barber will also be happy to give you advice., Summary: Let your beard grow to the desired size. Trim the edges until your beard is tidy. Fade the hairs along your neck. Trim the beard to maintain its shape. Visit a barber for advice and maintenance. | 1 |
The summary of "Your flat, 4 x 4 piece should completely cover the top of the cabin of your vehicle. Then, stretching across the gap made by the 2 x 8 pieces: Attach two 2 x 4 blocks, on on top the other, so that both are flat against the back wall of your cabin. Attach two 1 x 4 pieces behind the 2 x 4 blocks. This should create an flat surface that is level with the roof of your cabin. To join your cabin and bed together firmly, you should connect both by attaching your 4 x 8 piece to the top. A single row of studs should hang free the hood/window area of your truck. Attach your sloped window atop the 4 x 8 on the front-most studs. The hood cover should go in the front-center of the 4 x 8 piece for the most realistic effect.

Try to avoid fixating on your fear and focus on the task at hand. As soon as your teacher hands you the test, take a few minutes to quickly look over the entire thing. Read through the instructions carefully once or twice. Once you know exactly what you’re dealing with, you’ll be able to pace yourself properly. If there are any instructions you don’t understand, raise your hand and ask your teacher to explain them. Read all of the questions once or twice before you start answering anything. Look for keywords in each question and circle, underline, or highlight them. For example, a set of multiple choice questions may include important keywords like "all," "always," "never," "none," "few," "many," "some," and "sometimes." Watch for crucial instructions like "mark all of the correct answers" and "choose the answer which is least likely to." You can also jot down any notes that come to mind in the margins if that's permitted. Go ahead and get the easy questions out of the way. Don’t get bogged down on a question that you can’t figure out, since you might lose valuable test time that way. After you finish the easy stuff, come back to the harder questions and work on those. For example, if your test has a multiple choice section and an essay question, get the multiple choice questions out of the way first. Then, focus on the essay questions. Do the easiest essay question first and work up to the harder ones. Double check that you didn’t miss any questions or pages. Be sure to check on the backside of each page! Reread each question and your answer to check for any errors. Be thorough and careful.

Context: If you are in a place where you can purchase fresh clams, you can make this delicious meal at home. Look for clam at specialty seafood stores near the coast. To create this recipe, you will need: 4 pounds (1,800 g) fresh clams 1 cup (240 ml) white wine 4 teaspoons (20 ml) minced garlic 0.25 cups (59 ml) butter Preheat a saucepan over medium heat. Add 0.25 cups (59 ml) of butter. Tilt the pan as the butter melts so that the bottom of the pan gets evenly coated. Add 4 teaspoons (20 ml) of minced garlic to the plan. Cook the garlic, stirring frequently, until the garlic turns a light brown or tan color. Avoid letting it blacken or burn. If the garlic burns, discard it and start over. Add clams to the pan, so that they form a single layer across the bottom. Stir the clams until they are fully coated with garlic butter. Stirring and coating the clams helps to ensure that the heat will be evenly distributed. You may need to cook the clams in batches. Avoid stacking the clams on top of each other. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of white wine to the pan. This adds flavor to the clams, but it also creates the steam needed to cook the clam meat and open the shells. Gently stir to distribute the wine evenly. Set a timer for 4 minutes. Then open the lid and check the clams. If the clams have not opened, wait another 2 minutes and check again. The clam shells will peek open when your clams are cooked. If any the clams have not opened after 4-6 minutes, remove the clams that have opened and continue cooking the unopened clams for another 1-2 minutes. If the clams still do not open, discard them. Transfer the clams to a serving platter and eat them right away. French bread, garlic bread, or a pasta dish are great options to serve with your clams. The clams will release clam juice upon opening. You can serve this clam juice with the clams. You may want to provide a receptacle for disposal of clam shells., Summary: Open the website you want to inspect in Internet Explorer. Press F12 to open the developer tools.

Context: Leos are often driven by passion and a zest for life. Don't grow complacent in your relationship, and don't stop making romantic gestures. Consider giving your Leo flowers, a favorite food item, or a handwritten note to show that you are thinking of them. It's important to show that you care, and frequent romantic gestures will help keep the Leo's "attention tank" full. Be spontaneous, and keep trying new things with your Leo. You may be more likely to keep him or her if you can keep the relationship exciting. Grow together. Keep the relationship going by making it a constant process of improvement. If you become complacent, your Leo may get bored and begin to dream of new horizons. Leos like to be the center of attention, although they may be happy to let you stand in the spotlight with them. Make sure that your Leo knows that you are listening to what he or she says. Consider putting away the cell phone or closing your laptop screen when you're talking with your Leo. If you are present, engaged, and listening to what she has to say, you will demonstrate that there is worth to her words. Offer feedback. Leos may like to lead, but they also like to play and interact with their partners. If you can keep up with your Leo, you will be more likely to earn her respect. Leos can be very attractive, sociable people, and they will often divide their attention into many different projects. If you want to keep your Leo, you will need to be secure enough in your relationship to let him or her explore. Be empathetic, but do not let anyone take advantage of you. It is one thing to accept that your mate keeps a wide range of friends from both sexes, but it is another thing to overlook a cheating partner when you've agreed upon a monogamous relationship.

The answer of "Summarize the following Being a man of your word means more than simply following through with the commitments you think people will remember; it means following through no matter what. Place the same value on keeping small promises as you do on keeping the big ones. Remember that being a man of your word is about integrity, and integrity matters even when no one is watching. Writing your commitments down can help you change how you think about them, as well as being a great tool to help you remember them. Use index cards to write important commitments or promises out and keep them someplace safe that is preferably visible to you on a daily basis. Writing your commitments down may make you feel more accountable for actions. The act of writing your commitments down can help you to remember them. It can sometimes be easy to make commitments that would be unpleasant to keep because we tend not to think of things in the medium to distant future in a real way. If someone asks you to help them move next month, for instance, you are more likely to say yes than if they were to ask about this Sunday. That's because discomfort in the distant future doesn't seem real in the present. Viewing future events in an abstract sense is called the “planning fallacy” and it can lead you to make commitments for the future that you may not otherwise have made. Try to think of the things you are agreeing to do as though you were about to go do them right now. Don't agree to do things you wouldn't normally accept doing. While it's easy to see the commitments you have to others as burdens, try to reframe the way you see them to reflect the trust others must have in you. You have earned the respect of people in your life, and as a part of that respect, commitments have arisen. Following through on your word is a great way to show the people in your life that you care about them. People rely on you based on trust and respect. Having commitments to others is borne out of the respect and trust people have for you." is Treat small promises with the same level of importance as big ones. Write your commitments down. Bridge the gap between abstract long term commitments and short term experiences. View your commitments as a privilege. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: The very first step in convincing your parents to let you get a piercing, is to know exactly what piercing you want. Some of the more popular piercings are ear, belly-button, lip, and/or tongue. Each of these piercings comes in different shapes, sizes, and colors. Lists can be found online, or at a nearby piercing facility. For example, if you were to get a piercing in your ear, there are about 10-15 different places on your ear where the piercing could be located. This includes, the upper lobe, temporal lobe, inner conch, etc. Know exactly what type of piercing you want, and where you want it located. In terms of piercing shape, you might want a barbell, a closed circle, an open circle, a plug, a flesh tunnel, etc. Don't: start with a large or unusual piercing your parents are unlikely to allow.Do: consider piercings you've seen on your parents or their friends. Use phone books, or advertisement lists online to find a nearby facility. Look for ratings as given by customers, usually on a "5 Star" scale. Facilities that have lower than 4 stars should not even be considered. After you find one, go to the place in person to check it out. Note the cleanliness of the facility, and the attitude of the workers. Ask some customers in the store about their past experiences there, and write them down. Some of your friends have likely had experiences, either getting piercings, and/or having to convince their parents to get a piercing. They will be able to give you first hand knowledge about pain levels involved with the piercing, their preferences when it comes to jewelry, and where they have gone to get a piercing before. Make sure to write this information down on a sheet of paper. You will want to add tidbits of what they had to say to your argument later on. Don't: mention a friend your parents consider a "bad influence."Do: relay the facts you've learned from these conversations. Using clear and concise language, create a list of main reasons you feel you need and want a piercing. They can range from the mundane, to the very serious. Acknowledge both aesthetic (jewelry is pretty) and emotional (makes me feel good inside) reasons. After you have created a list, cross off anything that might be off-putting to your parents, and those which are not that important. Form those thoughts into coherent sentences, with nouns, adjectives, and verbs. For example: I want a black plug, on the temporal lobe of my ear. This is because it is a beautiful addition, as well as makes me feel more independent as a person. You can do this in front of a mirror, or in front of some of your friends. Try to memorize as much of the argument as you can so that it seems more convincing to your parents. Use a forceful, yet non-confrontational tone, when using specific words and/or points. Rather than just memorizing a script, add in additional phrases as you practice. Make the argument sound as convincing as possible. Practice at least 3-4 times. You will want have a picture of the exact piercing you want to get. Pictures of the facility you want to get your piercing at. Pamphlets and brochures concerning piercings. Medical statistics that cite the rate of infections among pierced individuals. The idea is to be more prepared than you have to be. If your parents have a question or inquiry, you want the information either in your head or at your fingertips. Note, you do not want to present medical statistics that run contrary to your argument. If you find that all the medical statistics are negative for a particular piercing, you should perhaps get it somewhere else. Your parents should be in a good mood when you sit them down. You will also want some time to yourself. Think about the research you have conducted. A rash or ill-advised decision is almost never a good one. Waiting an extra week, month, or year can give you time to prepare and think about what you are about to do. If you notice that they are yelling a lot, do not confront them yet.

Passage: Make sure the exercises you choose specifically target the waist. Avoid doing the old-style crunch. It can damage your spine. Stand with a pole between your shoulders. Keep your back straight, and your feet apart. Twist your waist from side to side while looking straight ahead. See how many rotations you can do. Try to do as many as 50 rotations. Instead of a crunch, try a curl. Lie on your back. Your hands should be palm down. Tuck them under your back. Bend your knees and lift your head and shoulders – but only a bit. If you get bored with typical exercises, why not buy a hula hoop? If you hoop for just a few minutes a day, you will end up with a smaller waist. Even hula hooping for 10 minutes a day has been found to reduce waist size! You can also burn 100 calories a day just with a few minutes of daily hula hooping. To hoop better, keep your back straight, bring the hoop against your back when you start hooping, and try not to turn your hips too much. Put your right foot slightly before the left. Spin the hoop counterclockwise and then shift your hips from front to back to keep the hoop moving. You need to keep your core engaged, making the hoop stay above your hips. One study found that hooping for 30 minutes, three times a week took 3-6 inches off the waist in just a month. Circuit training is a great choice for an exercise program because it involves elements of strength training, resistance training, and cardio, all of which will help you pare your waist. Pilates features many poses that work on the core. A typical circuit training program would involve 4 circuits that feature different exercises, which you do for about 12-15 reps about three times each and then rotate. Circuit training often involves such exercises as squats, push ups, vertical jumps, resistance bands, and using light dumbbells. Pilates will tone your waistline because it focuses on poses that will create a strong core. If exercise isn’t cutting it for you, you could try the latest celebrity trend: Waist training. Jessica Alba is among the celebrities who have tried this technique, which she did to help regain her figure after having a baby. Basically waist training means you wear a corset on a daily basis. Buy a waist trainer (or corset, or waist cincher) that has flexible bones in it, so you can breathe. Don’t expect instant results, though. Waist training can take months to be visible. You could also try buying a waterproof cord you wear underneath your clothes around your waist, and you tighten it as you lose weight. This will help you realize when your stomach is expanding., Summary: Set up your pour over brewer and get out the coffee. | 0 |
Context: A mirror shine is an ultra-glossy finish on leather. It is a common finish on dress shoes. If you have a pair of shoes or other leather item that has a wax mirror shine on it, then you might need to purchase a special product to get the wax off. Purchase a bottle of leather wax remover in the shoe department of a store or online. Apply the product to a rag or soft cloth and wipe it over the surface of the leather. Continue to apply and wipe the surface until the mirror glaze is completely gone. Mirror glaze can be difficult to remove. Press hard as you wipe down the surface of the leather item. Fill an empty spray bottle about 1/4 to 1/2 full with rubbing alcohol. Then, spray a light layer of alcohol all over your leather item. Apply enough alcohol so that the item is damp but not drenched. Allow the alcohol to dry completely to give your leather a dull, weathered look. You can also use a toothbrush dipped in rubbing alcohol to apply it to hard-to-reach spots. Alcohol dries quickly, so you should notice the effect within 5 minutes of applying the product. Acetone nail polish remover can lighten or even remove the dyes used to color your leather. Pour a small amount of acetone nail polish remover onto a cotton ball or soft cloth, and rub the cotton ball or cloth over any spots you want to lighten. Focus on areas that might naturally fade first, such as the bottom corners of bags or the elbow creases of jackets. This technique will work differently depending on the quality and color of the dye. You may not be able to completely remove the color on a dark leather item., Summary: Keep your head mobile. Volunteer to hold pads. Grow accustomed to being struck. Keep your eyes open. | 0 |

Q: Summarize the following: This makeshift whisk will make a big mess if you don’t have a large enough bowl. Make sure your mixture is in a bowl much larger than its volume. Chopsticks are less unlikely to damage your container, but be aware of your whisking so that you don’t scrape the bottom and ruin your container. Chopsticks are a great choice because they often come connected, saving you the step of taping them together. You’ll want to use the ends that have some separation in between them to get the most out of your whisk. The disadvantage of using chopsticks is that they don’t add as much air to your mixture as a traditional whisk or a makeshift fork whisk would. Take your chopsticks as-is and place the separated end in the mixture. Use your wrist to make fast, circular motions and thoroughly combine your mixture. Continue to whisk until the lumps have been eliminated., A: Use the right container. Find a pair of chopsticks. Whisk your mixture. | 1 |
The summary of "Allowing snow to build up will make plowing slower because you’ll have to drive slower. Plow the snow when it reaches 1 inch (2.5 cm) and continue replowing the same areas to keep the accumulation at a constant low. It’s best to plow early so that you can avoid other vehicles on the road. This will give you the ability to drive slowly as you plow and will help people get to work which can prevent road congestion--something that would make plowing even harder. Good traction is required to plow properly. Make sure that you get durable, high track snow tires. If you want the maximum amount of traction, you can get studded tires.

If you don't have a muzzle available, lay a piece of cloth across the dog's nose, as close to the eyes as possible. Next, wrap both ends of the cloth around the dog's nose and tie the ends in a knot underneath its jaw. Finally, tie the loose ends of the cloth behind the dog's neck. Some things you can use for a muzzle include a leash, sock, piece of gauze, neck tie, or strip of sheet. If the dog is vomiting, do not muzzle it. This could cause it to choke. Before moving the dog in any way, look to see if it appears to have a back injury. If it does, do not attempt to move it. Instead, call animal control or a veterinarian to assist you. Look for the following to identify a possible back injury: Observe whether or not the dog is willing and able to turn or raise its head. If it isn't, it might have a back injury. Additionally, look for any areas of visible trauma around the back or spine, like bruises or discoloration. If the spine looks abnormally aligned, curving upward for instance, this can also indicate a back injury. Finally, if the dog yelps or moans when its back or neck is touched, there is a good chance it has a back injury. If you feel confident the dog does not have a back injury, find a blanket, tarp, coat, or shirt you can place the dog on to carry it. Lay the item flat on the ground behind the dog's back. Using slow, careful movements, shift or slide the dog back onto the blanket, tarp, or coat. If there are other people at the scene, get someone to help you shift the dog onto the blanket. Once you have the dog securely on the blanket, get someone to help you lift the dog. You'll want to move the dog as little as possible, so if you can, go ahead and place the dog in the back seat of your car. If you cannot place it in your car, find a soft piece of ground where you can administer first aid. If you are alone at the accident, you can try pulling the dog out of the street once you have it on the blanket. Make sure you can do this without aggravating any current injuries or creating any new cuts or abrasions., Summary: Be impartial and listen to understand. Address issues with the appropriate parties.

Passage: Some varieties of hydrangea can bloom pink or blue depending on the soil's aluminum content and acidity. Most cultivated hydrangeas of this type belong to the species Hydrangea macrophylla, but some members of this species only produce white blooms, or favor the pink or blue side too heavily for easy adjustment. Ask the previous owner of the hydrangeas to identify your hydrangea variety if you are not aware of its name. The varieties named Enziandom, Kasteln, Merritt's Supreme, Red Star, and Rose Supreme all have the ability to be grown as pink or blue blossoms, although they vary in intensity. . Most garden supply stores sell a pH test kit for measuring the pH, or acidity, of your soil. Because acidity affects the hydrangea's ability to take in aluminum, which in turn affects the flower color, you can get a rough prediction of the flower color by measuring the soil pH. As a rule of thumb, a soil pH below 5.5 will likely result in blue flowers, and a soil pH of 7 and up will likely result in pink or red flowers. The effects of soil pH levels between 5.5 and 7 are difficult to predict. They may result in blue, pink, or purple flowers, or in a blotched blue and pink pattern. To encourage a blue color during the growing season, mix 1 tbsp (15 mL) aluminum sulfate into a gallon of water. This both adds aluminum to the soil and increases the acidity (lowering pH), making it easier for the plant to use the aluminum. Once every 10–14 days, Apply as much of this water as you would in a normal watering. Continue to measure the pH of the soil, and stop applying once it drops below 5.5 pH. Alternatively, you can also create blue blossoms by applying a fertilizer that is low in phosphorus and high in potassium. Look for a 25/5/30 fertilizer blend. You'll also want to avoid superphosphates and bone meal. If the hydrangea is already blue, it is hard to make it pink due to the existing presence of aluminum causing a blue color. However, you can take precautions in advance to encourage pink blooms, or you can grow your plants in a pot. Avoid planting near driveways or walls, as some concrete mixes or mortars can leach aluminum into the soil. Apply a fertilizer that contains no aluminum, but high levels of phosphorus, which inhibits aluminum uptake. Look for a fertilizer that contains a 25-10-10 blend. Consider raising the pH by adding wood ash or crushed limestone to the soil, as this also makes aluminum uptake difficult. Avoid raising the pH higher than 6.4, or the plant may develop health problems., Summary: Read music magazines for background info. Re-listen to the band's music. Practice what you want to say.

The answer of "Summarize the following At this point in your performance, you're just starting to feel sick and need to be subtle or else risk being figured out. The “art” of your performance lies in subtlety revealing your ailments. To help you find the right balance, think about what happened the last time you started to get sick. Avoid using direct phrases such as: “I don't think I'll be able to go to school tomorrow.” ”I'm not feeling well enough to make it to class.” ”I'm too sick for school.” Don't engage in the normal activities you would do if you felt well to show that you're not feeling your best. Decline to participate in a favorite activity, such as watching a movie or playing a board game. Seem disinterested in engaging in the things your guardians know you usually enjoy doing. Contribute little to the conversation, so that you seem too tired to be involved. If your parents ask if you've been feeling sick for a while, tell them that you've been feeling slightly off all day. If your stomach really hurt, eating a big meal is the last thing you want to do! If you had a fever, you could be experiencing a loss of appetite, which also would make you not want to eat much. Excuse yourself to use the bathroom and don't come out for ten minutes to give the impression that you are feeling bad but that you can still function enough to not raise too much concern. When you return to the table, let your guardians know that your stomach is hurting by saying things like: ”Sorry I was gone for so long, my stomach feels really weird.” ”I'm not sure if I can finish dinner, my stomach really doesn't feel well.” ”Can I be excused? My stomach is hurting and I think I want to lay down for a moment.” If possible, sneak some snacks into your bedroom to eat later so that you don't get really hungry at night!" is Do not place the electrodes on areas of the body which could harm you.

Passage: Use a leather glue on the edges you will be stitching together. Glue between each layer if your are stitching more than two pieces of leather. Pull several inches of thread through the eye of the needle. About one inch from the edge of the thread, push the tip of the needle through the center of the thread, puncturing it. Pull this punctured portion of thread up the length of the needle back toward the eye. Pull the short end of the thread over the long piece and past the eye of the needle, creating a knot to lock your thread. Cut the thread at a slant to make it easier to thread it through the eye of the needle. Once you pull the punctured thread back toward the eye, if you have a large loop between the eye and the punctured thread, pull back on the long portion of the thread to draw the loop back through the eye before pulling the short end past the eye to create the know. Repeat this process on the other end of the thread with another needle so that you have a needle on either end of the thread to complete saddle stitches. Attempt to supply enough thread to complete the entire project without having to cut and rethread the needles. This should be at least 3 times the length of your seam and more if your project is particularly thick. This will guide your stitching in a straight line. Stitches can run in a line or a groove. If you use a groove, once the stitches pull tight, they will lie beneath the surface of the leather and be more protected from wear and friction. Dig a groove in the leather using a grooving tool. Slide the guide to the distance you would like your groove to be dug from the edge of the leather. Lock the guide in place. Set the guide against the edge of the leather and pull the grooving tool from one end to the other. A small amount of the leather will be scraped off to leave a groove in your project. Repeat this process on the other side. Using wing dividers, also known as a creaser, set them at the distance you would like the line to be drawn from the edge of the leather. Draw the dividers from one end of the leather to the other with one wing along the edge and the other marking a scratch in the leather to serve as your stitching line. There are several tools available to make marking stitches easy and accurate. Try several tactics and choose the tool you are most comfortable using. Over-stitching wheels make dips in the leather to stitch on as well as being used to run over the stitch to press it into the leather once the stitching is complete. These come in different sizes, the number relates to the number of stitches per inch. Pricking wheels poke holes along the stitching line. Do not use this to run back over the project once the stitching is complete, as the sharp edges will damage the thread. These come in different sizes, the number relates to the number of stitches per inch. Diamond hole punches create a series of marks which match the shape of the diamond awl you will push through. Some of these hole punches are able to puncture all the way through both sides of the leather to create holes on both sides. Determine how far apart you would like the stitches. Longer stitches should be used in larger projects, with the stitch distance scaling down with the size of the project. Mark the stitches using the tool you chose scaled appropriately to your project. To use an over-stitching wheel, start at the beginning of the stitching line. Place the wheel firmly on the line and using a little pressure, push the wheel along your stitching line to create the bumps where you will puncture holes to stitch through. Place your pricking wheel at beginning of the stitching line. Press the wheel firmly on the line and using a little pressure, push the wheel along your stitching line to prick the holes you will stitch through. These holes will need to be punctured again with a diamond awl. Place the points of the diamond hole punch along your stitching line. Hold it firmly in place with one hand, while you use the other hand to hammer onto the top of the iron to puncture holes in the leather to stitch through. If you need more stitching marks than the length of the iron, place the end prong in the last mark to keep the spacing even and continue hammering along your stitching line until you have enough marks to complete your project. Using an awl, press it through the marks to make a hole to stitch through. This could require a lot of pressure if you are puncturing through several layers of leather. Make sure each whole goes all the way through each layer. If you used a diamond hole punch with deep enough tines, it is possible this can puncture all the way through to create the holes while making the marks, making this step unnecessary. Place the item between the jaws of the pony with the stitching line just above the jaws. Clamp the jaws tightly enough to hold your project firmly in place while you work on it. If it is a large project which won't fit in the pony, you will need to use a stitching horse., Summary: Tell scary stories in a circle. Host a video game party if you’re all gamers.

Q: Summarize the following: Being able to use relaxation skills is a large part of positive coping. It helps keep you calm and reduces any anxiety or nervousness you might have about the process. Before the procedure starts, begin focusing on your breath, taking deep inhales and exhales. Discussing your thoughts and feelings with others who have endured a similar situation can help ease your anxiety not only about the procedure, but about your decision to terminate the pregnancy. Getting support during the process and help you feel like you're not going through it alone. Talk to any friends that share your beliefs, especially if they have also had an abortion in the past. Be cautious about pro-life organizations. These may use manipulation or misinformation in an attempt to pressure you into keeping your pregnancy. Avoid using substances such as alcohol or drugs as a way to cope. This may help in the short-term, but if you are dealing with difficult emotions (depression, grief, loss), substances may only prolong and exacerbate your emotional pain in the long-run. Try exercise, journaling, talking to a therapist, talking to a friend, creating art, or anything else that may help you process or deal with negative emotions. Make an appointment with a doctor or therapist if you are feeling too overwhelmed, or if you fear that you will turn to harmful coping mechanisms., A: Relax. Talk to like-minded people.

The answer of "Summarize the following Measure 3.5 mL (0.71 tsp) of orange oil, 1 mL (0.20 tsp) of lemon oil, 1 mL (0.20 tsp) of nutmeg oil, 1.25 mL (0.25 tsp) of cassia oil, 0.25 mL (0.051 tsp) of coriander oil, 0.25 mL (0.051 tsp) of neroli oil, 2.75 mL (0.56 tsp) of lime oil, and 0.25 mL (0.051 tsp) of lavender oil into a bowl. Use a spoon to mix the oils and water until they are thoroughly combined. This mixture makes the flavouring for the cola. If you find it difficult to source neroli oil, use petitgrain, bergamot, or bitter orange oil instead. Cassia oil is also called cinnamon oil. If possible, use pure essential oils, as these will have a superior taste. Purchase essential oils from a health store or online. Measure 15 mL (0.53 imp fl oz; 0.51 fl oz) of the flavouring you created, 17.5 ml (3.5 tsp) of 75% citric acid or phosphoric acid, 2.28 L (9.6 c) of water, 2.36 kg (5.2 lb) of granulated white sugar, 0.5 mL (0.10 tsp) of caffeine (optional), and 30 mL (6.1 tsp) caramel color (optional) into a blender. If you don’t have a blender, use a food processor instead. Don’t add extra caffeine to the recipe, as high doses can make you unwell. Caramel coloring doesn’t affect the flavour of the cola, it simply gives the colour a pale brown colour. Purchase caramel coloring and caffeine from a speciality foods store. Store any unused flavoring in an airtight container in the fridge. The gum arabic acts as a thickener and helps to give the mixture a syrup consistency.

Passage: Habeas corpus means "produce the body," meaning the body of the imprisoned individual. If you plan to protest your imprisonment as being unjust, having an improper duration, or having poor conditions, getting a writ of habeas corpus could give you relief through the court system. If it's granted, you'll go before a court, and the state will have to prove it has a right to keep you imprisoned. This is often a first step in the criminal appeals process, but most requests are not granted. Be prepared to present evidence backing up your claim. For example, you may present evidence that conflicts with the state's case, or you could show that your sentence was miscalculated based on state law. If the court finds in your favor, you could be released. However, they may also choose to reduce your sentence, improve your living conditions, or declare that you have rights, depending on their findings. If you want to appeal either a criminal conviction or the sentence that was handed down, your first step is to file a notice of appeal. Your trial attorney typically will file the notice soon after your conviction is entered. Appealing a criminal conviction doesn't mean you'll get another trial. The appellate court only considers legal issues. Essentially, you must demonstrate that either the judge or the prosecutor made a legal error at some point during the trial. You will have to pay filing fees of several hundred dollars to file your appeal unless the court has already granted you a fee waiver. You are entitled to at least one appeal, so the practice of filing a notice of appeal immediately after the verdict is fairly automatic. Since you have the right to an attorney for criminal trials, you likely had an attorney who represented you. However, not all criminal defense attorneys also handle appeals. If your trial attorney can't represent you on appeal, they may have someone they recommend to take over your case. Your trial attorney also may give you advice on possible outcomes on appeal and major issues that should be raised. Although it's possible for you to represent yourself at your appeal, this isn't recommended. Criminal appeals turn on legal questions, and you'll be expected to understand the law as well as the lawyers on the other side representing the state. You'll also be expected to understand and follow the rules of procedure, which can be exacting and unforgiving. Don't expect the appellate court to give you any leeway just because you're representing yourself. Particularly if you have a constitutional issue, you may be able to find a civil rights attorney at a nonprofit organization to take on your appeal at little to no cost to you. Work with your trial attorney to evaluate your options. You'll have to order the court record sent up to the appeals court, as well as get a copy of the transcript for yourself. You and your attorney (if you've hired one) will go through the transcript to find possible procedural errors and legal issues. The court will charge you for copies of the transcript, and it may take a few weeks for it to become available. To successfully appeal either a criminal conviction or a sentence, it's not enough to show that legal errors were made. You also have to be able to demonstrate that those errors made a difference in the outcome of the case. Criminal appeals often turn on a violation of constitutional rights. For example, you might appeal arguing that evidence was seized in violation of your 4th Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. If you're appealing the sentence, you typically will do so on the grounds that it is unreasonable, or "cruel and unusual" punishment for the crime. The appellate brief outlines the legal errors that were made at trial. It also presents your argument as to why you believe the verdict should be overturned (or sentence reduced.) Criminal appellate briefs, especially those that raise constitutional questions, can be quite lengthy. Typically they involve a significant amount of legal research. While your attorney may discuss the process with you, they typically won't involve you extensively in the brief-writing process. If you've decided to represent yourself and you're drafting your own brief, get a copy of the local rules so you know the required format for this document. You may want to work with a local law school or nonprofit organization to get assistance., Summary: Dress for the occasion. Wear something you feel comfortable in. Flatter your best features.
