The answer of "Summarize the following You will be making a mess as you refinish the coffee table. Work outside or somewhere like a garage if you can, or put down a drop sheet, tarp, or plastic sheet to catch the dust from sanding and protect the floor from spills. If you don’t have a good work area or some kind of drop sheet to use, you could put down 2-3 overlapping layers of newspaper or even create a drop sheet by taping some plastic garbage bags together. Mix 2-3 drops of gentle soap, such as a mild liquid dish detergent, into a cup or bowl of water. Soak a clean cloth in the soap solution and wring out excess water until it’s not dripping. Rub down the entire coffee table with the damp cloth to clean off dust and grime. It’s important to clean off the surface very well so there are no grains of dirt that you might end up grinding into the wood as you sand. Attach a sheet of coarse-grit sandpaper, like 40- or 60-grit sandpaper, to a sanding block or electric sander. Start sanding, going with the grain of the wood, until you remove all the finish and expose all the bare wood. Wear a face mask and goggles whenever you're sanding to keep wood dust out of your mouth, nose, and eyes. If there are any hard-to-reach areas, such as engraved legs or sides of the coffee table, fold up a piece of sandpaper into a small square and sand those areas by hand. If your sandpaper stops removing the finish at any point, stop sanding and feel the sandpaper with your fingers. If it is smooth, it has worn out and you need to replace it with a fresh sheet. Use a tack cloth or other clean, soft cloth to wipe away all the dust from sanding. This will allow you to better see the exposed wood and continue with sanding and preparing the surface for a new finish. A tack cloth is a cloth specifically made for cleaning up wood dust. You can purchase one at a home improvement center, a woodworking supply shop, or online. If you don’t have one, something like a microfiber cloth or an old cut-up T-shirt will work. You could also use a vacuum with a hose attachment to suck up the dust. If you notice any spots where there is still paint, varnish, or stain showing after you wipe away the dust, go back over them with the coarse-grit sandpaper until the wood is bare. Put a sheet of fine-grit sandpaper, like 120- or 240-grit sandpaper, on your sanding block or electric sander. Sand down the entire coffee table, going with the grain, until it is completely smooth. Stop sanding periodically and run a hand over the whole coffee table to feel for rough spots. Keep sanding and feeling the table until it feels like it has a uniform smoothness. Wipe off the loose dust with your tack cloth or other soft cloth. Dampen a rag with mineral spirits and wipe down the entire coffee table to clean it and prepare it for finishing. Wear a face mask when you apply mineral spirits so you don’t inhale the fumes. If you are working inside, open up any doors and windows you can to ventilate the space. Mineral spirits are also known as mineral turps or mineral turpentine. The liquid is very similar to paint thinner, which you can use as a substitute if that’s all you have." is Vary heights to add dimension. Coordinate colors. Display books on every level. Go for an asymmetrical look. Use just one book to show off a beautiful table. | 0 |
The summary of "If you're replacing tiles on an existing ceiling, you will want to match the ceiling tile style to the existing tiles. Measure the width and length of your tiles and take a picture of them. Ask at the local tile shop if they have the same type. If not, try to find them online. To find out what material your tiles are, remove 1 from the grid. Knock on it and if there's a hollow sound it's wooden. You should be able to tell which tiles are metal and plastic from touching them. Mineral fiber or fiberglass tiles feel rougher on the surface but are light to hold. New ceiling tiles need time to adjust to temperature and humidity conditions. In these conditions, the tiles can expand or contract by a small margin. Place the tiles in a pile indoors and let them adjust to the conditions overnight. Thin work gloves will stop you leaving fingerprint marks on your tiles. On top of that, they will protect your hands from the rough, abrasive texture of the tiles. Buy some good quality thin work gloves at your local hardware store. Do not wear surgical gloves as the material is too weak. If you have a gap you need to fill in or you need to make some small adjustments to a tile, use a ruler or tape measure to find out the cut you need to make. Place your ruler along the grid and take note of the width and length you measure. Measure from the center of the bar on the ceiling grid. Don't measure from the edges of the bars as your tile will be too small to fit when you cut it. Look at the dimensions you wrote down and make an outline on your tile. If you need to cut out a thin rectangle, try and mark it out along the side of the tile. The fewer cuts to the tile you need to make, the easier it will be to cut and the smaller the chance you have of damaging the tile. Get a light pencil such as a 2H and mark the dimensions on your tile. The best place to do this is in a desk or work area in your garage. If you have to, you can use the kitchen table. Lay down some sheets on the table to reduce your chances of damaging the table when you cut." is Gather your materials. Use a sharp knife to whittle tip of the pencil to a slight, flat angle. | 0 |

If your primary dosha is Vata, you are very focused on movement and change and possess an energetic and creative mind. Your require balance and stability in your life and low stress to feel energized and enthusiastic about life. But you are also prone to anxiety and insomnia. Vatas tend to have irregular eating patterns, especially when feeling stressed or overworked.

You can have extreme eating habits that involve lots of snacking and stress eating or missing meals entirely. Your eating is often centered around stress and you may use eating as a way to deal with feelings of anxiety and imbalance. A Pitta dosha tends to be full of intensity for food, experiences, and knowledge. Pittas enjoy being challenged and using their intellect to learn new things. When you feel imbalanced or stressed, you tend to develop heat related issues in your body like heartburn, ulcers, hypertension, and inflammatory conditions. This heat can also manifest in your personality, as you may be prone to frustration, irritability, and feelings of anger. Pittas crave order and predictability with their eating habits and diet, with structured meal times three times a day at the same time every day. You focus on stability and control in many aspects of your life, including eating, and may feel annoyed or grouchy if your meal schedule is thrown off or you eat later than usual. Pittas tend to overeat as a way to express anger, literally swallowing their anger, through eating too much at every meal. You may also view overeating as a way to rebel against stressful situations or larger issues in the world. This mind-body type tends to have a natural propensity for physical strength and endurance. You may be naturally athletic, with a calm personality and the ability to use critical thinking and retain information quickly. However, you may be prone to weight gain, fluid retention, and allergies if you are feeling imbalanced. You may also exhibit an aversion to change and an overall stubborn demeanor. Kaphas tend to hold on to experiences, relationships, and objects long after they stop being useful or necessary. Kaphas usually have a natural love of eating and can become addicted to food. If you are feeling imbalanced, you may eat constantly, before and after meal times. You may use food to hide your intense emotions and as a way to avoid confrontation with others or with your own feelings and emotions., Summary: Use complementary colors for distinctly vivid rooms. Emphasize continuity in your home by sticking to a color scheme. Focus on patterns as well as colors. | 0 |

Q: Summarize the following: It’s important to the health of your rabbit to keep its food dish refilled and clean. Remove any old or leftover food every day to prevent bacteria growth that could harm your rabbit. At least once a week, you should wash the dish with soap and hot water. Remove stale or wilting bits of food and any other material, like fur or feces, from the dish. Wash the food dish in hot, soapy water or in your dishwasher at least once every week and more often if necessary. For example, if your rabbit urinated or defecated in the dish, it’s important to wash it. Dry the dish completely before using it again, which can prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Refill your rabbit’s food as needed, giving it just enough food to prevent hunger. It’s also important to your bunny’s health to have fresh water daily. Refill the water bottle at least once daily and wash it at least weekly in hot water and soap to kill and prevent bacteria growth. Pour out water at least once a day and replace it with fresh water. Take out any material floating in the water before refilling it. If the floating matter has begun to dissolve, wash the bottle in hot, soapy water. Make sure that water is flowing once the bottle is refilled. Place your finger under the bottle and press on it to ensure proper dispensing. Put the water bottle in the dishwasher or wash the bottle in hot, soapy water once a week or more often if necessary. Your rabbit will urinate and defecate usually in one corner of its habitat. In fact, your rabbit may even have a litter box. You should remove soiled litter, hay, or newspaper every day. Replace all of the litter, hay, or newspaper at least once a week or more often if necessary. Doing this prevents bad odors from circulating through your home as well as minimizing the risk of infection from bacterial buildup. Focus your daily maintenance on the litter box or corner in which your rabbit urinates or defecates. Wipe any soiled walls or floor spaces as needed. You can use a disinfectant or a vinegar and water mixture. Allow the habitat to dry thoroughly before you replace any bedding, toys, or dishes. This prevents the growth of bacteria or ammonia that can harm your rabbit. Put your rabbit in a safe space if you have to remove and replace all of the bedding.

The summary of "The chemical ingredients in Thermacare wraps need to be exposed to air to activate. Once exposed to air, the wrap should immediately begin heating, reaching its maximum temperature in about half an hour. Attaching the wrap too early will limit its exposure to air, causing it to heat more slowly. Do not microwave the wrap, or attempt to speed up the warming by heating it in any other fashion. Doing so may ruin the wrap and create a fire hazard. If the wrap hasn't warmed up after 30 minutes, it may have been previously exposed to air and deactivated. Throw it away and open a new one. Dirt, moisture, lotions or cosmetic products will prevent the wrap from adhering securely and may result in the wrap coming loose and becoming ineffective. If you are over 55 or are especially sensitive to heat, you should apply the wrap over a piece of light clothing, such as an undergarment. Laying a light cloth over the area you will be applying the heat wrap before attaching it is another option. Thermacare heat wraps have visible heat cells on their interior and exterior surfaces. The darker pads are on the side of the wrap intended to come into contact with the skin. Make sure these darker cells are facing your skin as you attach the pads. Do not press the adhesive tabs firmly onto your skin until you are sure you have placed the wrap where you want it to remain. Here are specific guidelines for each type of wrap: For the lower back and hip, center the pad over the location of the pain with the slightly extended "tab" section of the heating pad pointing down. For the neck, wrist or shoulder, simply center the pad over the location of the pain and wrap the straps as if applying an adhesive bandage. For the knee and elbow, bend the joint and place the opening in the wrap over the end of your knee or elbow before attaching the adhesive strips around the back of the joint. Menstrual wraps do not apply directly to the skin but, rather, to the inner side of an undergarment. Adhere the wrap to the garment where it will cover the target area, then put on the garment. Rub the adhesive tabs into your skin until they are firmly attached. This will ensure that the wrap remains in place while you are using it. Thermacare wraps are designed to be worn under clothing, and should come loose during normal physical activity. Eventually, the active chemical ingredients in the wrap will run out, and the wrap will begin to cool. Once it has cooled, a heat wrap will no longer be effective. Do not try to reheat the wrap in the microwave, or by any other means. You can dispose of depleted heat wraps in your normal household waste. You should check under the wrap every couple of hours to make sure you are not experiencing redness or irritation. If you experience prolonged redness, irritation, or increased pain you should stop using the heat wrap right away, and talk to your doctor if the symptoms do not dissipate. If the irritation is only mild, you can instead try wearing a light layer of cloth underneath the wrap." is Unwrap the heat wrap thirty minutes before use. Clean and dry the area you will be treating with the heat wrap. Decide whether to wear the heat wrap over clothing. Position the active heat cells over the target area. Remove the wrap's peel paper and lightly adhere the wrap. Adhere firmly once you have positioned the wrap. Wear the wrap for up to 8 hours. Monitor your skin. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: Visit a local plant store, and look for either sweet or tart cherries in either standard or dwarf size. Ask an employee to help you if you need it! An employee at a nursery can help answer questions regarding growing cherries. You can typically purchase cherry trees by the size of their branches, from 2 inches (5.1 cm) to 8 inches (20 cm). You may have to shop around to find the right type and size of tree, though any of these locations can get you started. If a particular nursery doesn't have the cherry tree you are looking for, ask them if they can place a special order or if they know of any other locations that may have your type of tree in stock. Inspect the size of your tree's root system, and use a shovel to dig a hole approximately the same depth and twice as wide. You can guess and check until the hole is large enough to fit your tree's roots. If it helps, you can place your tree into the hole to check your sizing. Then, dig deeper or wider in order to best accommodate your tree's roots. You should be able to easily lift your tree. If the tree is a bit larger, get a friend to help you lift it up. Your tree's roots should all easily fit into your hole. Remove any string, burlap, or plastic tied around the roots before placing the tree in the hole. Make sure your tree's roots are spread out and have room to take root. Using your soil mix, fill in the rest of the hole until it is full. As you fill, remove any air pockets in the soil by pressing down firmly. You can stop filling the hole when the soil reaches the mark on the tree's stem marking where the old soil reached. Position your stake about ⅓ of the height of your tree, and insert it into the soil at least 2 feet (0.61 m) deep. Tie your tree stake from the tree's trunk to a post in a figure-8 pattern, so the tree trunk can have some movement. Use a hose to water the base of your tree. Add water to your soil immediately after you plant your tree so your tree's roots can start to take. For best results, let your water slowly trickle over the base of your tree rather than the roots soaking up the water quickly. Water your trees with a slow trickle by turning on your hose on partial power and dropping it at the base of your tree. Leave your hose there for 1-2 hours, then turn off the water. When growing cherries, it is very important to maintain adequate moisture levels. Mulch can help drain away excess moisture. You should add a fresh layer of mulch in the late winter for regular cherry tree maintenance. Cherries take time to mature and develop. After about 4 years, your trees should yield about 30-50 quarts of cherries. Until then, water, prune, and fertilize your tree regularly so it grows healthy and strong. It may take some trees up to 10 years to start producing fruit. Each tree is different., A: Take a pain reliever. Obtain a birth control pill prescription. Stay away from quinine. | 0 |

The summary of "In short, how many people want to buy the piece of art? Art is sold in a market. This means that the value of items offered in the market fluctuates depending on how much buyers want the piece, as well as how much they are willing to pay. Ask yourself if the market is in a peak, where demand is usually high, or a trough, where demand is depressed. If a glut of pieces enter the market, the market price tends to go down; if pieces are sold off or if a new group of buyers suddenly becomes active, the market price tends to go up. This is often referred to as supply and demand. Liquidity, also called marketability, is the reliability with which an asset or security can be sold without affecting its asking price. In the art world, high liquidity means that it's relatively easy to sell an item quickly and thus convert its value into cash. Low liquidity means that it's harder to do this, creating a barrier to converting an asset into cash. Related to demand, pricing trends are usually the result of changes in people's perceptions of art or changes in their material circumstances. In the early 2010s, Chinese billionaires, flush with money, began buying Asian art, sending demand significantly higher and signalling a new trend in the market. As a result of this trend, Indian and Asian art became a hot commodity in the art world. Collectors are willing to pay more of a premium for art in this market. Has the work of art been sold before? The primary market is what the work of art is valued at when it is first sold. The secondary market is what the work of art is valued at after it has been sold at least once. The secondary market value has a direct relation to what the item was sold for in the primary market. One of the things you want to look out for is a certificate of sale, especially if your item has been purchased at an auction. Referencing this document will make your ultimate appraisal much less subjective." is Investigate market demand. Look at liquidity. Look at market trends.

Passage: Reading poems together is an excellent way to build your child's literacy skills and develop their love of language. As you read poems, ask your child what interests him or her about what you've read, and explain any elements they have questions about. Talking about rhyme and rhythm works well with young readers. Ask your child to think of another word that rhymes with one in the poem, or have them clap along with the beats of the words as you read. Nursery rhymes are excellent for this because they have very familiar melodies. Write down the lyrics, then help your child come up with a poem that they could sing to the same tune. You can use the original song lyrics as a template if you get stuck. If your child can write their name, have them spell it out on a piece of paper, leaving space between the letters. (If they can't write yet, write the letters for them.) Then, encourage your child to think of a poem where each line starts with one of the letters. This personalized poem will develop your child's language skills and make him or her feel special. You can also help your child write acrostic poems for other words. An acrostic poem for "dog" could look like this: "Devoted furry buddy / On my bed is sleeping / Greatest of pets." This game begins with the same line each time: "I spy with my little eye / something beginning with..." The rhyming sounds are a natural way to get your child thinking about rhyme. "I Spy" encourages your child to pay attention to details and learn how to describe them. " This exercise works best with older children. Have your child go through a magazine, newspaper, or book and highlight several dozen words they find interesting or appealing. They don't have to have a particular reason for why they like those words. Once they've found between 20-50 words, help your child arrange the words into a poem. You can add in new words where needed. As you explore, ask your child to note things that interest them, such as the weather or scenery. If they can write, have them write down their ideas in a notebook; if not, you can take notes for them. When you get back home, help your child decide on what notes to use in the poem. The poem can tell a story or just describe a scene or a feeling. Encourage your child to use specific, concrete words to describe what they see. For example, rather than saying "the weather is nice outside," you could encourage your child to use specific sensory details such as "the sun shining makes my skin feel warm" or "the blue of the sky looks just like my sweater.", Summary: Read with your child. Sing a funny song together. Write an acrostic poem together. Try an "I Spy" game. Create a "found poem. Take a nature walk. | 1 |

The answer of "Summarize the following For this type of smoke bubble you’ll need a few more supplies, but you won’t jeopardize your lungs with this one. You will need the following: Dry ice Hammer Dish soap or bubble liquid Graduated cylinder or a similar container Heavy rubber gloves Fill whatever container you decide to use with warm water. Add enough water to reach just below the halfway mark on your container. A good alternative to a graduated cylinder is a clear flower vase. The water shouldn’t be boiling, but it shouldn’t be at room temperature. Somewhere in between the two will work. Place the heavy gloves on your hands before handling dry ice. Use a hammer to break up a larger piece of dry ice so that it will fit into your container. Handle this on a clean surface and be sure small scraps don’t land on your family dog. As you break up the dry ice, add it to the container filled with warm water. Don’t add all your dry ice on the first test. Once you add dry ice, it will react to the warm water and produce smoke. The smoke will rise up and appear to overflow out of the container. Now to create smoke bubbles, add a generous portion (about a quarter of a cup) of either dish detergent or bubble liquid. Now your bubbling concoction has real bubbles floating out. Continue to add dry ice as it melts and watch your smoke bubbles flourish." is Gather your supplies. Prep your container.

Context: Think about how many people you camp with, how long you usually camp for, and what you’ll need to do in the tent. It’s recommended that the tent you choose provides at least 30 square feet of space for each person in the tent. A 5x7 foot tent (1.5m x 2.1m) may technically be large enough for two adults to sleep in, but a 10x10 foot ( 3.1m x 3.1m) tent would allow for room to change, store clothes, and even add cots or an air mattress. Tents that are a lot larger than 10x10 feet ( 3.1m x 3.1m) can be awkwardly shaped and too heavy to carry far distances. It can also be difficult to find a large enough level space to set these tents up on. A-frame tents have the most common shape and are desirable because they’re less expensive and lightweight. The only major downside to this shape is that the sloping side walls tend to limit space. This shape doesn’t do well in harsh weather conditions because the sidewalls can be easily battered by extreme winds. There are also modified A-frame tents that have the basic shape of the A-frame, but have undergone slight adjustments in order to increase interior space. Dome-shaped tents are stabilized by flexible poles that cross over the top of the tent. Because of their structure, they provide a good amount of headroom. Bigger dome tents are less stable, so consider going with a different shape if you intend on having several people sleep in your tent. Geodesic tents are similar to dome tents in that their poles crisscross, but different in that these crossed poles create triangles. This is a good shape choice for you if you camp a lot in the winter because it’s very stable., Summary: Make sure there’s 30 square feet (2.8 square meters) of space per person. Don’t go too big. Get a simple A-frame to save money. Go for a dome shape if you want headroom. Buy a geodesic tent for good stability. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following You will connect one end of the cable into the camera or other device, and the other end will go into the corresponding port on the PC or Mac (again, note, that you would need a FireWire adapter for many Macs). You need a cable that connects the two ports. A FireWire is also known as an IEEE 1394 cable. A USB 2.0 connection can perform the same transfer with most devices. Most new PCS already have a FireWire port, where you plug in the cable or a USB 2.0 connection. There are two types of FireWire connectors. They are called 4 pin and 6 pin. The FireWire port on the PC generally has 6 pins. The digital camcorder’s FireWire port (sometimes called DV out or i.Link) usually has 4 pins. So you generally need a FireWire cable with 4 pins for the camcorder or camera end, and 6 pins for the computer end. Plug one end of the cable into the camera. Plug the other end into the port in the PC or Mac.. This will connect your camcorder or camera to your computer. You will be able to make movies on the computer using free tools built into Windows or the Mac, such as Movie maker and iMovie. Connect the 4-pin end of the cable into the camcorder and the other end into the IEEE1395 4-pin or 6-pin FireWire port on your computer. If you don’t have a FireWire port, buy a FireWire CardBus Adapter to plug into the computer first. Use the cable that came with the device or buy a USB cable or FireWire adapter. You can also try connecting the Thunderbolt cable to your video camcorder or camera, but you may need the adapter. If you are using a camcorder, set it to PC Connect mode. Your device might have a different name. This may happen automatically if your camcorder is connected to the computer and you switch it to playback mode. You could simply remove the memory card from your device, and insert it into the card slot on your Mac (you can also try doing this with a PC.) Click on the import button in the toolbar. In the camera's section of the import window, select your camcorder or camera or other device. Sometimes you will see photos side by side with video clips. Your computer should automatically recognize your camcorder or camera device. Connect your camera to your computer, and turn it on. If your camera came with software, the computer will recognize the camera. In most cases, it will be able to read it. Windows is going to automatically install the necessary drivers. You will be prompted to import video using Windows Import Video. This comes free with Windows. Simply select import, and the videos will be loaded onto your computer.

The answer of "Summarize the following If you have a medium or deep brown skin tone, you may want to try lipstick in a bright color like bright pink, bright purple, or bright red. Bright colors will pop against your skin tone and enhance the warm undertones of your complexion. Try to maintain a balance of color on your face by wearing a bold lipstick color with paired down eyeshadow and foundation. If you go for a bright eyeshadow look, you may wear lipstick in a more neutral color like nude or light pink. If you feel your lips are small and you would like to enhance them, you can try using lipstick that is pearlescent or metallic, as they will add shine and depth to your lips. You may also try lipstick in light colors like pink, peach, or beige so your lips are not overwhelmed by a bright, dark color. Another trick is to use a lip pencil to create a new lip line outside of your natural lip line. Try to go no further than 3mm out. Make sure the line is precise and even. You can then color in your lips with the lip pencil or with lipstick that is the same shade as the lip pencil." is Protect your skin with a sunscreen containing at least SPF 30.

Context: The simplest, most budget-friendly herbicide is hot water. Pour boiling water over a plant's root system and leaves to kill it within several days without leaving a poisonous residue in the soil. You should need 1–2 gallons (3.8–7.6 L) of water to kill the fern, depending on its size. While you'll only need to pour the water once for most plants, you may need to repeat the process for larger or stubborn ferns. Use caution while handling hot water to prevent burns and other injuries. Table salt or rock salt equally works as a herbicide, especially when dissolved in water. If you want to kill the plant's root system within several days, saltwater is a natural, highly effective option. If you want to create salt water, mix the solution in a ratio of 1 part salt for every 8 parts water. Depending on the plant's size, mix 1–2 gallons (3.8–7.6 L) of the saltwater solution. Do not use salt if you plan to replant a new fern or shrub in that area, as salt has a detrimental effect for growing plants. White vinegar and industrial strength vinegar are both natural herbicides. Unlike some herbicides, however, you may need to apply the herbicide daily until the root system dies completely. Industrial strength vinegar can irritate the skin, eyes, and lungs, so wear appropriate safety equipment while handling or use white vinegar as a safer alternative. Spray 1⁄2–1 gallon (1.9–3.8 L) of vinegar on the fern to effectively kill its root system. Your fern should only need 1-2 applications and die within a few days of spraying the solution. Chemical herbicides are the quickest and most reliable way to kill ferns. If you don't care about applying chemicals to your yard, buy a store-bought herbicide made for shrubs or invasive plants. You can buy herbicides from most garden centers or nurseries., Summary: Take note every time you say something sarcastic. Identify your "trigger situations.

Context: During each of your turns, you may either move or attack an opponent’s piece. You may not do both. If you find yourself in a position where you cannot move or attack, then you have lost the game and must announce your defeat to your opponent. Take turns moving your pieces in vertical or horizontal directions. Pieces may not move in a diagonal direction. Pieces may only move one space, except for the Scouts which can move an unlimited distance. Just keep in mind that because only scouts can move more than one space per turn, moving a scout more than one space will reveal its identity to your opponent and may cause your opponent to attack that piece. Pieces cannot jump over the lake or over other pieces. They also may not occupy the same space as another piece. Pieces cannot move back and forth between the same two spaces over three consecutive turns. Attack your opponent’s pieces to reduce his or her numbers and capture your opponent’s Flag. You may only attack pieces that are directly next to your pieces. They may not be a space away or diagonal to one of your pieces. They must be right next to each other in a vertical or horizontal direction. When you attack your opponent (or your opponent attacks you) you must both announce the rank of your piece that attacked (or was attacked). Whatever piece has the highest ranking wins the fight. Remove the losing piece from the board. If both pieces have the same rank, then remove both pieces from the board. Place captured pieces in the tray as you play. Doing so will help to keep them organized for future games. Place the winning piece on the space that was occupied by the losing piece. Some pieces have special attack privileges that make them capable of attacking more powerful pieces. Make sure that you observe these special attack privileges as you play the game. The Spy can capture the Marshal if the Spy attacks first. If the Spy is attacked by the Marshal, then the Spy is captured instead. Scouts can move and attack on the same turn. No other pieces can do both in the same turn Miners can disarm Bomb pieces. All other pieces must be removed from the board if they attack a Bomb piece. Whoever captures his or her opponent’s Flag first wins the game. But you may also win the game if your opponent reaches a point where he or she cannot make any more moves. For example, if all of the player’s moveable pieces have been captured or blocked, then that player would lose the game., Summary: Understand how gameplay works. Move your pieces. Attack your opponent’s pieces. Observe the special attack privileges of certain pieces. Win by capturing your opponent’s Flag or all of your opponent’s moveable pieces. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Since there is a fine line between a "good" amount of wine and "too much," it's important to track when and how much you're drinking. As a rule of thumb, men should not drink more than two 5-oz (150 mL) glasses of wine per day, and women should stick to one or fewer. Keep track of how much you're drinking and how often. Consider making a note in a food journal or tracking in an app on your smart phone. For example, if you're considering having a glass of wine with dinner, but know you're going out for happy hour at work the next day, you may want to skip your wine and save it for happy hour instead. Many people pour themselves larger portions than a "standard" drink. Measure out 5 ounces (150 mL) per serving to keep alcohol consumption moderate. If you want to have more than one glass, consider pouring yourself only a 3 oz serving initially and another 3 oz serving so you're not overdoing it. This amount is based on wines with an alcohol content around 12%. Many wines are significantly stronger, and should be drunk in smaller servings. In addition to measuring the appropriate portion size, you also need to moderate how many glasses of wine you drink at one sitting. Health professionals recommend that you stick to a certain amount of total alcohol daily to prevent any negative side effects from consumption. Women should have a maximum of 1 glass daily and men shouldn't consume more than 2 glasses daily. 1 glass should be measured at 5 oz total. If you drink past this amount, the negative health consequences will likely outweigh the positives. If you're not a fan of drinking wine or don't want to increase your intake consider cooking with wine. You'll be able to have the flavor of the wine, the nutritious compounds, but not alcohol. Red wine is a great ingredient to cook with. It can really boost the flavor of many foods. It's a great alternative to drinking wine on a more regular basis. When you cook with red wine, you generally allow the wine to simmer a bit. This causes the alcohol content of the wine to burn off, but leaves all the flavor and antioxidant content of the wine. Try using red wine in a gravy or sauce to serve over a steak or pork chop. Also use red wine to deglaze the pot when making a stew or a soup to boost the flavor." is Visit lender websites or a bank.

Context: Ordinary, single-sided Scotch tape is the easiest to use on nails. It can be completely clear or a little clouded, depending on what you like. Scotch tape is a transparent tape, called Sellotape or sticky tape in some areas. Tear off a strip of tape about two times longer than your whole fingernail. Put the tape on your finger so it covers the entire nail and extends past it, so the whole nail looks glossy. Press the sides of the tape down firmly, so the tape bends like a regular long nail would. If the tape is too wide, have an adult trim the tape with a pair of scissors. Brush the sticky underside of the tape with nail polish. This will make the nails last longer and stop them sticking to things – but make sure not to touch anything while you wait for the polish to dry. If you have a nail buffer, use sides 3 or 4 to rub the bottom of the nail gently. Do this over the lower edge of the tape, and it will wear the tape down, making the line less visible., Summary: Pick a clear, shiny tape. Put a piece of tape over your nail. Cover the underside of the tape in nail polish. Buff the nail at the tape end (optional). | 1 |
Context: If you are watchful, you may be able to simply spray cats with a water hose whenever they are trying to use your garden. Cats can be trained, so if you are persistent, this may eventually be enough to permanently drive them away. Be gentle when you are spraying cats with a water hose. Most cats do not like water, so a quick, gentle squirt is usually enough—there is no need for high-powered nozzles, or to thoroughly soak the intruding cats. Motion-activated sprinklers are available from home supply stores. When a cat walks by, the motion triggers the sprinkler, which sprays a burst of water. Most cats do not like getting wet, so this can often be an effective deterrent. Use motion-activated sprinklers to create a border around your garden. These sprinklers can be installed either permanently or temporarily, depending on your preference and needs. These emit a high-frequency sound that cats detest, but which humans cannot hear. These devices are motion-activated, so that when a cat walks by, it is startled by the high-frequency sound and should leave the area. Look for ultrasonic devices at a pet supply store, and use them to create a barrier around your garden. Cats will not linger in areas they do not feel are safe from predators. For this reason, a dog that chases cats can effectively keep them out of your garden., Summary: Learn the basic features of a seminar paper. Ask for clarification if needed. Plan ahead.

Passage: Take time for yourself by doing things you enjoy or that make you happy. It can be hard to take time for yourself, especially if you’re someone who tends to put other people first. It might also be challenging if you have a life situation such as having small children at home or taking care of someone who is ill. But always remember to “secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others.” You are the best caretaker when you are your best self. If music makes you happy, listen to music. If reading books makes you happy, take a little time to read in a calm environment. Go look at a beautiful view, take yourself to a museum, or watch a movie that you enjoy. Stay active doing the things that bring you pleasure. This is a great way to focus on the positive. No one else is watching or judging your review of your day and yourself, so there’s no need to worry about seeming arrogant. You don’t have to be good at something or please others in order to enjoy it. If you’re good at cooking, admit to yourself that you’re a talented cook. Likewise, you don’t need to be able to charm woodland creatures in order to enjoy singing. Observing moments of satisfaction, pride, contentment or joy in your life and the activities that cause them is a good way to make sure you can repeat them again in the future. You are not like other people, so there’s little reason to judge yourself based on other people’s standards. You may enjoy things that other people don’t enjoy. You are certainly “allowed” to define for yourself what success means for your life. Your view of yourself is very different from your view of other people, just as viewing a Monet painting from one foot away is very different from viewing it from twenty feet away. Realize that the image of someone else that you see may be a contrived image that he or she strives to project. This image may only partially reflect reality. Let go of measuring yourself against other people and basing your self-worth on other people’s opinions. This will help you make less subjective inferences about other people’s behavior. For example, if you have a negative interaction with a casual acquaintance, don’t assume that they don’t like you. Rather, assume that there was a miscommunication between the two of you, or that something else is frustrating your acquaintance., Summary: Monitor your cat's sleeping habits. Listen for an increased amount of vocalization. Watch your cat's eating habits. Check your cat’s coat. Take note of how often your cat is hiding. Watch for litter box problems. | 0 |
The summary of "Many children develop a stutter in their first few years of speaking, but while many of them lose the stutter within a year or two, this does not mean you shouldn't help them through it. Speech therapists who are not up to date on modern research may recommend "waiting until it goes away," but it is a far better idea to be conscious of the child's stutter and follow the steps below. If you tend to be a fast speaker, it's possible the child may be copying you by speaking too fast for their language abilities. Try slowing down your speech just a little, keeping a natural rhythm, and make sure you speak clearly. Give the child time to speak at a time and place where they are not being teased or interrupted. If the child is excited about telling you something, pause what you are doing and listen. Children who do not feel they have a place to speak may feel more anxiety over their stutter or become less willing to talk. Increase the confidence of the child by listening in a supportive way while they speak. Don't try to finish their sentence for them, and don't walk away or interrupt when they stuck. A relatively modern type of stuttering treatment for children is a system of parental feedback, such as the Lidcombe Program developed in the 1980s. In these systems, a therapist trains the parent or caretaker to assist the child instead of enrolling the child in a therapy program directly. Even if you cannot find a suitable program near you, you can benefit from some of the tenets of this program. Talk to the child about the stutter only if the child wants to. Compliment the child when they speak without stuttering or have a day with lower levels of stuttering. Do this once or twice a day at consistent times, rather than making a big deal of the stutter by repeating the praise often. Rarely give negative feedback by pointing out the stutter. Don't do this when the child is upset or frustrated." is Don't ignore the stutter. Slow down your speech slightly. Provide a relaxed environment where the child can speak. Let the child finish their sentences. Learn about providing parental feedback. | 1 |
Passage: Keep a pack of makeup remover cloths and a compact mirror with you throughout your day. If you notice your eyeliner shifting, fold a makeup cloth in a triangle shape and use an edge to wipe off excess makeup. Use gently and sparingly to avoid cleaning off too much makeup. Be mindful of your makeup and try not to rub or touch the area around your eyes too much. You may be doing it unconsciously, but if you make a point of trying to remember then it should become second nature to you to avoid touching your eye area. Hot and sticky weather can melt your makeup and make it run. If you can avoid it, try not to spend excessive time in the heat. If you are spending time outside on a sunny day, wear sunglasses. This can shield your eye area from the sun and also prevents your eyes from watering as you squint. Many eyeliners are not waterproof. A rainstorm, a swim session or a shower can all cause your makeup to run. Do your best to avoid getting your face wet after you put your makeup on. Also avoid excessive sweating, as this can have a similar effect of shifting your eye makeup., Summary: Make an appointment with your doctor. Discuss the condition with your doctor. Have testing done. | 0 |
Q: Summarize the following: Ears are a great indicator of how your dog is feeling. If the dog’s ears are laid back flat against their head, this means they are feeling scared, anxious, or unsettled. Check the surroundings to see what could be causing their anxiety. If you can, alleviate the situation or use calming language to assure your dog of their safety. Your dog may also avert their gaze or glance back and forth at you quickly if they are feeling anxious. This, coupled with the backwards ears, shows that there is something wrong in your dog’s world. When a dog becomes fearful, their eyes will widen, as will their pupils. You’ll often be able to see the whites of their eyes. If this happens, it means that they are over-alert and are trying to see everything around them at once. It’s often helpful to provide a “safe space” for your dog, especially in your home. A crate, a blanket, or a special corner of the couch may be a great place for your dog to retreat to when they’re feeling anxious. Any kind of repetitive behavior, like licking, panting, or salivating, when there is no obvious catalyst for the behavior, is a sign of anxiety. If your dog hasn’t just eaten and they are constantly licking around their mouth, this means they aren’t feeling safe. Observe the surroundings to see if there is anything you can do to help them feel better. A dog who licks their paw or leg repeatedly is also often showing signs of anxiety. Repetitive licking can be a self-soothing behavior when the dog doesn’t know if it should flee or fight. If the tail bone is down and pointing between your dog’s legs, this is an indication of anxiety. Anxious dogs may still sometimes wag their tails, though the tail bone will still be pointing down and the wag will be low and slow. The best way to learn to read your dog’s tail is to observe what your dog does in situations where they aren’t stressed. This way, you’ll be able to notice abnormal behavior when it occurs. Loud noises like thunder or fireworks can be upsetting to dogs and often cause them to visibly shake. When you see this behavior, be aware that something is upsetting your dog. If you can, help them feel safe by letting them hide or by doing something to drown out the offending noise. There are special products made for dogs that are meant to help them withstand the sounds of thunder and fireworks. Check them out if you think they might be helpful for your dog. If there is a storm outside, close the windows and blinds, and take your dog to an interior room that is further away from the outside., A: Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Passage: A field of work is far more than a single job—it is an area in which many jobs or trades are possible! Once you have an idea of what field you want to work in, consider all the options within that field. For instance, if you want to work in healthcare, you could be a nurse or a doctor, of course, but you could also schedule appointments for patients, work in medical billing, or manage a physician’s office. Or, if you study law, you may want to be a lawyer for a large law firm or a non-profit organization, or even write corporate compliance manuals. If you study computer science, you could consider working in retail tech support or becoming a CTO. While certain jobs may sound amazing in theory, it’s important to know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. Find out the day-to-day responsibilities for several jobs within the field to help you narrow down your options. Go to the National Career Service website to peruse job profiles for more than 800 positions. Think about whether you can picture yourself completing the tasks happily or if the work seem overwhelming or misaligned with your vision of a new career. For instance, you may absolutely love animals, but if you’re squeamish about blood or needles, becoming a veterinary technician may not be right for you. However, a dog walker or pet groomer may be a better fit. It’s important to choose a career that fits with your temperament and personality. Think about whether you enjoy interacting with other people and if you work better alone or in a group setting. Also, consider if you are a great leader or take direction well, and whether you enjoy planning things or like to go with the flow. You should also think how well you manage time, if you are detail-oriented or focus on the big picture, and if you enjoy coming up with new ideas. For instance, if you want to work with technology but don’t enjoy being around other people or interacting with strangers, you could choose to work in development rather than marketing. Many skill sets translate to multiple fields or opportunities. Consider whether your education or experience will allow you to work in a related field. For instance, many teachers have a thorough understanding of the English language, and therefore make excellent editors and publishers. Alternatively, if you’re super athletic and love sports, perhaps you would do well as a coach, a manager, or an announcer. One of the best ways to find out if a job is right for you is to actually work it! By signing up for an internship or apprenticeship, you’ll get to see what the day-to-day experience in a certain field is like. You’ll also make connections and meet other people in the industry. Do an online search to find internships or apprenticeships in the field you want to work in. Tap into your network and see if you have friends or family that work in the field. They may be able to help you find an internship, apprenticeship, or volunteer opportunity. Although you’ll want to have a financially secure future, the expected income shouldn’t be the only determining factor in your decision. Feel free to research potential incomes for a variety of jobs, but aim to choose one that you feel is the best fit for you, rather than simply picking the one where you’ll make the most money. This will lead to you a fulfilling career., Summary: Think of fields of work broadly. Research the responsibilities of several jobs within the field. Match your personal strengths and qualities with potential jobs. Consider non-conventional or cross-field work. Sign up for an internship or apprenticeship to see if it’s a good fit. Try to avoid making a decision based on the money you’ll make. | 1 |

Q: Summarize the following: Your pet could smell of urine because of medical problems that make it difficult for him to control his urination, such as urinary incontinence or a recurrent urinary infection. For example, your cat may continually urinate outside of litterbox because of a urinary infection that makes it unable for him to get to the litterbox in time. Your dog may not be able to hold his urine until you can take him outside for a walk, which may cause him to urinate inside the house. If you clean your pet but notice that the smell of urine keeps coming back, and see a change in your pet's urinary habits, it is time to take your pet to your veterinarian for a thorough examination. Your veterinarian can perform various diagnostic tests, such as bloodwork and a urinalysis, to determine the cause of your pet smelling like urine. If your cat has arthritis, he may smell like urine because his arthritis prevents him from adequately grooming and cleaning himself. An obese cat would also be unable to groom and clean himself. If your veterinarian has diagnosed your pet with a urinary tract infection, he or she will likely recommend an antibiotic to clear the infection. If your cat is arthritic, your veterinarian will probably recommend an anti-inflammatory medication to help ease the joint pain. More complicated medical problems, such as kidney failure, may require more extensive treatment and dietary changes., A: Observe your pet's urinary habits. Take your pet to the veterinarian. Follow your veterinarian's treatment recommendations. | 1 |
Passage: Making bright or deep red frosting can be difficult, but the color of the icing will deepen as time passes. It's best to prepare the frosting 24 to 72 hours before you'll need it so the color can set. This is especially important if you want pure red frosting made with only red food coloring, but the same trick can also apply to red variations if they aren't as deep in color as you'd like. When you need to create dark or bright shades of red, the amount of dye used can cause the icing to become bitter. Taste-testing the icing as you work will allow you to monitor the change in flavor and prevent too much bitterness from developing. If the icing does become bitter, however, you can usually fix it by adding more flavoring. Stick with clear extracts, and use roughly 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) per 1 cup (250 ml) of icing., Summary: Make the frosting early. Periodically taste the icing. | 1 |
Passage: Find a fabric that isn't slippery like silk to help your turban stay secure. If possible, use a scarf that matches the color or pattern of your outfit to create a true vintage style. Estimate where the middle of the length of the scarf is. Place this edge against your forehead. Fold this edge under slightly to create a neat line. The opposite edge of the scarf should brush against the nape of your neck. Gently bring the sides of the scarf around your head. Twist these into a firm knot to keep the turban secure. If a small flap of material appears just above the knot at the back of your head, gently tuck it into the knot so that it doesn't stick up. Twist the 2 sides together into a knot on the front edge of the scarf. Leave 1 of the sides only halfway pulled through the knot to create a loop. After you have made the loop, spread it out like a fan. This will be 1 side of the bow that you are making. Tuck the other side of the scarf behind the knot. Leave it only halfway pulled through again to create another loop. Also fan this loop out to create the other half of the bow. Gather each loose end of scarf and tuck these behind the knot. You can also tuck these under the fabric that's next to the knot if that fits better. Make sure that you tuck in each loose end tightly to keep your turban secure. Use brightly colored flowers to embellish your 1940s style turban. Tuck the flowers into the knot so that they are just in front of the bow. Flowers that contrast with the scarf color work the best. You can use real flowers if you prefer, otherwise artificial flowers will also work well as they will last for many future costumes!, Summary: Get a scarf that is approximately 59 in (1.5 m) long. Place the middle of the scarf over your hair with the front edge folded in. Tie the sides of the scarf at the back of your head. Bring the sides of the scarf to your forehead and use 1 to make a loop. Create a loop with the other side. Tuck the loose ends into the turban. Decorate the turban with a small cluster of flowers. | 1 |
The answer of "Summarize the following Avoid meeting up at their home or yours to talk, but you may also want to avoid meeting in a crowded public place, such as the school cafeteria. Instead, pick a place that is neutral, such as a café or park. This will help to ensure that neither of you has an advantage. You will also both be able to go your separate ways after the conversation, rather than one of you having to leave the other person’s space. Telling them face-to-face is preferable, but you can text them if you’re worried about their reaction, such as if they have a bad temper and you’re afraid they might lash out at you. Reflect on your reasons for wanting to end the friendship. Then, tell the person why you don’t want to remain friend based on these reasons. Avoid starting sentences with “you” when you do this as this may cause them to become more defensive. For example, you might say something like, “I don’t think we should be friends any more. I feel hurt when you never ask me about what’s happening in my life.” Or, you might say, “I think we should take a break. I feel sad when you criticize my looks and pressure me to change things about myself.” “I” statements are less likely to cause your bestie to feel defensive, so it’s important to craft what you want to tell your best friend in this format. to their response, but remain firm in your decision. After you have said how you feel, they might want to respond. Be willing to listen to them, but stick with your decision. Don’t allow them to sway you if you’ve made up your mind about breaking up with your best friend. Make eye contact with them, nod your head to show you’re paying attention, and put away anything that might distract you, such as your phone. Try to keep your body language open while you listen to them, too, such as by facing them, keeping your arms at your sides, and leaning in towards them. It is possible that your best friend will want to hash out the details of why you are breaking up with them, but this is unlikely to resolve anything. If they start to drag out past arguments or a list of their perceived wrongs, stop them and excuse yourself. For example, you could say, “I don’t want to get into this because I don’t think it will solve anything.” Try saying something to indicate that you mean the person no ill will, even though you don’t want to remain friends. You can say something to indicate that you’ll cherish your memories together or that you will still be polite and friendly when you encounter them. Try saying something like, “I’ll always remember the good times we had together,” or “I wish you the very best!”" is Choose a neutral place to meet up for the conversation. Use “I” statements to tell them you don’t want to be friends any more. Listen Avoid getting into a back-and-forth about who did what. End the conversation on a positive note. | 1 |
The summary of "You should get the "regular" or "lite" strings if you have any doubts or are unsure what to buy. While some guitarists use heavier gauges or odd string configurations to get specific sounds, you can't simply grab a set of strings if your guitar is not made for it. Strings that are too heavy for your guitar will warp or bend the neck without proper adjustments. Just get the regulars or lites until you know more. In general, you want your high E to be a ".008-.0011" thickness. This is for medium, lite, and extra lite strings. If you use drop tunings frequently, like a drop D, you might want heavier strings. Talk to the staff at your music store for specific questions and recommendations. Give yourself plenty of room to work, laying the guitar down on a table so that you can adjust it comfortably. You should let the head hang off the edge of the table so that it is easy to turn the pegs. Place a towel or blanket between the guitar and table to prevent scuffing or scratching. This hole should point away from the string so that it is parallel to one of the frets. If you were playing the guitar, the hole would be pointing towards your face. In general, most guitarists will begin with their heaviest string, the top E. It will often me marked as "6th string," or by the highest gauge number (usually around .050). Remember, it is often easiest to work one string at a time, so just take care of this one for now. While you can start with any string, the thickest one is the most resistant to snapping, so it is the best one to start practicing with. Simply curl the end of the string around your finger and place it in the bridge, whole. Then re-insert the peg that holds the string in place and pull on the string -- this while lock it into the bridge and secure the bridge pin. Slide it in the opposite way you took the other strings out, then run it through the hole in the tuning peg, pulling the string away from the guitar. Make sure you leave 2-3 inches of slack as well -- you don't want the string to be completely taut before you start tightening. The tuning pegs aren't marked, but you should just replace the strings in the same order you took them out. The first string will go into the bottom left peg, if you're looking straight at the guitar. Grab a hold of both ends of the string, then crimp them around the tuning peg by pulling down on the right hand (the end of the string by the neck) and up on the left hand (the very end of the new string). Your right hand will be coming towards your body, away from the headstock. Your left hand will be pushing up, in towards the other tuning pegs on the head. Grab the end of the string and loop it underneath the main body of the string, then wrap it up and over, pulling it down towards the top of the guitar. Think of it as snaking the end of the string around the point where the string meets the peg -- like a DNA double-helix. Place your index finger down on the string an inch or two before it before it meets the tuning peg. Hold the string down onto the head of the guitar. From here, turn the tuner counter-clockwise to tighten it. Make sure that your string is winding around the peg in a uniform manner as it wraps around. Use a tuner to slowly get yourself up to the proper tension. Once you've got most of the slack out, turn the tuner out and check the string as you tighten. Once you've got the first string on, keep going on the rest of the strings, working through the entire packet. Most acoustics are strung with a 3x3 pattern, where the head has two sets of three tuning pegs. For the second set, simply reverse the instructions, replacing right hand with left and up with down. Use wire cutters to snip away the excess string. You may want to leave a 1/2" to allow deeper tunings, though it is not strictly necessary. Strings stretch out as they get used to the tension. It will stop after a day or two, but you can speed the process up with regular tuning to get the string into the right length.." is Use a new razor. | 0 |
The summary of "A great way to dry out pimples is to use a sea salt face wash. This can work as an overall mask or to treat individual problem areas. Boil some water and then remove from heat. Once it has cooled some, measure three teaspoons of hot water into a bowl and add one teaspoon of sea salt. Stir them together until the sea salt dissolves. Make sure you get sea salt instead of iodized salt. Sea salt is better for the skin. You can make more of this is you want by increasing the amount of water and salt. Once the salt is dissolved, you can apply the mixture to your face. Gently cup the solution in your hand and rub the liquid on your face. Avoid getting the mixture in your eyes because the salt will sting. Leave the mixture on for 10 minutes. Don't leave it on longer than the required 10 minutes because it will dry out your skin too much. If you want, you can also just treat problem areas with the wash instead. Take a Q-tip or cotton ball and soak it in the wash. Apply that directly to the problem pimples to get the same effect. Once the 10 minutes are up, rinse the wash off your face with lukewarm water. Make sure you avoid letting the wash run into your eyes. After it's gone, pat your face dry with a soft cloth towel. After you have washed and dried your face, you need to apply moisturizer to avoid excessive dryness. Make sure it is a non-comedogenic moisturizer, such as Clinique, Olay, Cetaphil, and Neutrogena. Don't overuse this method. One to two times a day is enough to work. If you do it more than that, you could dry out your skin too much, which can cause skin irritation and other skin problems. In addition to the wash, you can also make a sea salt paste for your face. This can be used on problem pimples to help dry them out and heal them faster. For this, use one teaspoon of salt to one teaspoon of hot water. Let the salt dissolve a little in the water and, while it is still kind of thick, apply the mixture with a Q-tip to problem pimples. After about 10 minutes, rinse the mixture off and then apply moisturizer." is The Carfax website features used cars being sold by car dealerships in your area that subscribe to Carfax reports.

The answer of "Summarize the following Take a look around the installation site to figure out what kind of roof your customer has. Then, choose a bracket that works well on that kind of roof. Get a weighted mount for a flat roof. Try using a lag screw mount to install an antenna on a pitched roof. Point the antenna towards the nearest relay point when you’re done. The mounting location depends on many factors. For example, find out where you can run a cable into the home. Make sure the mounting location is in view of the closest relay antenna. Find the best spot to run a wire from the CPE to your user’s network equipment. To do this, use a stud finder to locate the beams holding the wall upright. Position the hole at least 3 in (7.6 cm) from the studs. Using a masonry bit 18 in (46 cm) long and 3⁄8 in (0.95 cm) in diameter, drill all the way through the wall. Look for spots other ISPs, telephone companies, and cable companies used to get wires into the home. You may be able to use these spots to wire the equipment without drilling. Be aware of any live wires in the wall. Use a stud finder with AC wire detection to identify problems to avoid with your drill. Always ask your customer before installing or drilling anything. Explain the installation process to them. Get their approval. Use the same CAT5e cables you used at your relay points. Keep the cable tight against the home by securing it to the gutter with zip ties or cable clips. Bring the cable down the wall, then thread it through the hole you drilled. Have a friend help with the cable to make the installation much easier. Instruct them to look for the cable and fish it out while you push it into the hole you drilled. Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches are the easiest devices to hook up inside homes. You will need to plug the antenna cable into a wall jack. Then, use a shielded patch cable to plug the switch or router into the jack. Connect the switch or router to a wall outlet to power it. For simpler installations, provide routers and modems for your customers. If you don’t do this, tell customers what devices are compatible with your service. Each customer will need to get their own modem to enable Internet access and their own router to enable Wi-Fi. If you installed the antenna correctly, you will be able to detect your ISP signal through your computer’s software. Use the software to install antenna firmware updates, change the access password, and set the customer’s unique IP address. Before locking the antenna in place, use the software to adjust its positioning to receive your network’s signal as much as possible. Test the Internet connection before you leave. Log into the Internet on your laptop. Make sure the connection is fast and stable." is Mount a CPE on your customer’s home. Drill a hole into the home if you need it for wiring.

Q: Summarize the following: Lower your blind as far as it will go. Go underneath the bottom rail and inspect the area where your lift strings meet the bottom rail. If there is a knot tied, clip it off and use pliers to pull the lift string out a little bit. If there is a cap holding the strings it place, pry it off with pliers or a flathead screwdriver to access the lift string. Complete this process for the lift string on the right before completing it on the left. If the lift string accidentally slides through the hole at the bottom and goes into the bottom rail, use the restring tool. Thread the string through the oval-shaped opening at the end of the restring tool and push the tool through the opening to bring the wire through the rail. Put on a pair of thick rubber gloves to protect your hands. Take your new string and hold it up to the length of lift string sticking out the bottom of your blind. Use a lighter to singe the tip of the old string and the tip of the new string. Then, quickly tap the 2 strings between your fingers with the singed tips touching to fuse them together. It’s okay if the strings catch fire for 1-2 seconds, but if the flame won’t go out immediately, blow on the flame to put it out. This can be kind of dangerous, so keep a cup of water nearby in case you need to extinguish the fire. Pull on both of the lift cords lightly to find which one raises the right side of the blind. Once you identify the string that you replaced, pull the lift cord down all the way until the new string slides through the blind and out through the lift cord. Essentially, you’re using the old string to run the new string through the slot for the lift cord in the head rail. Some blinds do not have the lift string connected directly to the lift cord in the head rail. On these blinds, manually thread the new string up through each slat, use the wire restring tool to push the cord through the head rail, and force the lift string into the rolling mechanism, which is the grooved cylinder at the top of the head rail. You will need to remove your blind to do this. To remove your blind, slide the covers on each end of the head rail out and carefully slide the blind out of the brackets. These blinds typically use a cylinder to rotate the lift strings and pull them up or down. To avoid letting the lift string shoot through the bottom rail when you pull the lift cord, tie a large knot at the bottom of the string so that the string catches against the interior of the bottom rail. If you had a plug that you needed to remove to access the lift string, replace it by pushing the plug back into place. Use scissors to cut any excess string off of the bottom of the rail. Once you’ve replaced the lift cord for the right side, repeat the process on the left. Use pliers to pull the lift string through the bottom rail and cut the knot off. Then, use your lighter to join the new string to the old string. Next, pull the lift cord for the left side to thread the new string through the head rail. Tie the bottom of the new string the same way that you tied the other side., A: Look for the baby's mother first. Pick the baby up gently. Make the baby warm. Get a small box.

After all, you've had a lot of experiences in your life and you know what you like and what you don't like. However, try to keep your mind open towards new people and new experiences. Even though your personality is already formed, it can still change. Be open to befriending people who you might not immediately have a lot in common with. Remember, you don't have to only be friends with other seniors. Maybe a nice young couple has moved in next door to you. Try inviting them over for dinner. Even though they are members of a different generation, you might find that you share a lot of interests. And even if you don't have much in common, you can still have an enjoyable evening. Technology can be a great way to widen your social circle and meet new people. Try setting up a Facebook profile. This is a great way to reconnect with old friends you have lost touch with. It can also help you to stay in touch with family members who don't live nearby. If it is a romantic connection that you are looking for, technology can be a big help in that area, too.

The summary of "It is possible that breast implants are a great option for you. The procedure can be very effective, and is often the choice that those recovering from breast cancer or other illnesses make. As with any surgery, make sure that you understand the procedure. Find a doctor with a great reputation and schedule a consultation. Before your appointment, make a list of questions to ask. Read up on the procedure. If you know someone who has openly had breast augmentation, ask them if they would mind giving you some advice. Once you understand your options, think about which is right for you. Do you want silicon or saline implants? How large would you like your breasts to be? Ask yourself these questions, and make sure that you feel comfortable with your own answers. Envision the results and try to imagine how surgery would impact your life. Any medical procedure is bound to have risks. In addition to the general problems that can arise any time you are under anesthesia, make sure that you know the potential problems that can arise with breast implants. For example, ask what will happen if they rupture. It is also important to ask about the possibility of infection and side-effects such as scar tissue. You should also consider whether or not you plan to (or want to try) breastfeeding at any point in the future. Some women are unable to breastfeed after surgery, so this is definitely something important you want to discuss with your doctor. Also, keep in mind that you will have to get the implants replaced about once every 10 years. Having surgery to increase your breast size is not a simple procedure. When doing your research, make sure to take into account the recovery process. You'll want to make sure you are prepared to take time off from work or school and many of your daily activities. Talk to your friends and relatives to make sure that you will have a support system to help you out while you recover. You won't be able to lift things for a while--even a bag of groceries might be too much. Recovery is something to ask your doctor about. Make sure to have that talk before you commit to surgery. You are the only one who can decide if surgery is right for you. Make a list weighing the positives and the benefits of taking this step. Are you doing it for yourself, and not another person? Are you physically and emotionally ready to undergo an operation? Ask yourself these, and many other, questions. Don't rush yourself. Think carefully about taking this step and what you hope to gain." is Do your research. Decide what is right for you. Know the risks. Think about the recovery process. Weigh the pros and cons. | 1 |
Context: Make sure you read your oven's manual for the basics of using an electric oven. This should show you how to turn the oven on and off and how to do things like move the racks up and down in the oven. Make sure you know how to set the temperature. Electronic ovens usually allow you to punch in the temperature electronically and will then give an indication when the oven is ready. A light on your oven may go on or off or it may make a noise to indicate it's heated. Start preheating your oven while you begin preparing foods and baked goods if you're using an electronic oven. Gas ovens tend to heat quickly, but electric ovens need more time to reach the proper temperature. You should use an oven thermometer to make sure your electric oven is at the right temperature. Unless a recipe specifies an item should be placed on the upper or lower oven rack, always use the middle rack with an electric oven. This is the spot where the heat will be least likely to fluctuate during the cooking process. This will make your food cook more evenly throughout. Electric ovens tend to be fairly dry. Oftentimes, this can delay bread and other similar foods from rising. If you're struggling to make something like a pizza crust or loaf of bread rise, try adding a little steam to your electronic oven. You can pour a cup of hot water into a pan and then set it at the bottom of the oven. You can also open the oven a crack and use a spray bottle to spritz some water into the oven. You can use a diverse range of bakeware in an electric oven. However, different bakeware will yield different results. Make sure to use the right bakeware for what you're cooking. If you want browning around the sides and bottoms of your foods, go for metal bakeware. If you want to decrease browning, go for glass or silicone products., Summary: Tap your Android's Gmail app to open Gmail. Open the Gmail Menu. Tap "Settings". Tap "General Settings".

The answer of "Summarize the following If you choose to care for a wild bird egg, you will need to know the species’ incubation period and what to feed the nestling should the egg hatch. Fortunately, wild bird eggs are relatively easy to identify. If you don’t already have one, buy an electronic incubator with adjustable settings and a built-in fan. The incubation protocols for wild bird eggs are mostly unknown, so you will have to follow the protocol for domestic poultry eggs. Set up the incubator in an area free from direct sunlight and drafts. Before setting the wild bird egg(s), run the incubator for a couple of hours with water in the incubator’s pan. This will stabilize the incubator’s internal atmosphere. Successful incubation depends on four factors: temperature, humidity, ventilation, and turning. Temperature is the most important factor, and you should maintain a constant temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit for the duration of the incubation. Keep the incubator’s pan full. Relative humidity within the incubator should be around 60 percent. Maintain air flow, and rotate the egg(s) a half turn at least three times per day. This ensures that the egg is warmed evenly. Most wild bird eggs that you find will never hatch. Incubation could have been interrupted, or the egg’s inner membrane could have been damaged. In each case, the embryo dies. If the incubation is successful, you will need to feed the nestling every fifteen to twenty minutes from sunrise to sunset for about two weeks. Wild bird diets vary a great deal from species to species, so make sure you have the right kinds of food on hand. Keep in mind that hand-reared wild birds have a low probability of surviving: humans simply cannot teach wild birds to fend for themselves in the wild." is Click File and select “New Playlist”.

Context: . If one thing gives macho guys a bad name, it's that they treat women poorly, talking down to them, objectifying them, and being rude in general. A macho guy treats all the women in his life respectfully. Learn to talk to women one-on-one, calmly and with courtesy. You don't have to put on a big show to attract women. It's a turn off and shows that you're just putting on an act. Remember: Be a man. Never cat-call or use pick-up lines to talk to women. You're better than that. and have a well-rounded diet. Some men think it's "cool" to only eat meat, and develop a dislike of green vegetables and other foods because they think it's non-masculine. Unfortunately for them, a diet that consists mostly of red meat and avoids green vegetables leads to things like prostate, stomach, and bowel cancer. There's nothing macho about having your prostate removed and becoming sexually impotent and incontinent. Being able to "hold your liquor" isn't a sign of masculinity, it's a sign of alcohol abuse. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a couple of drinks among friends--especially a straight bourbon, dark beer, or a Manhattan--but you need to know your limits and avoid pushing them as a way of showing off to your friends. It can lead to serious problems. This also goes for other self-destructive vices, like smoking and using other drugs. Abusing substances is a sign of insecurity, not a sign of manhood. There's nothing macho about speeding, cutting people off, or revving your engine at stop-lights. If you're a real man, you don't need to overcompensate by showing off in a big car. If you've got a jacked-up ride that you're really proud of, show it off to your friends in your driveway, or on open road, but don't show it off in the middle of traffic. Strangers on their morning commute don't care about your horsepower, and it won't make you look more macho to peel out from stoplights in front of them. . A macho guy doesn't need to be promiscuous to prove it. Practice safe sex and move at your own speed. Ignore guys who brag about sexual prowess. They're probably just watching too much porn and making stuff up anyway. You're a real man and you know it., Summary: Be courteous and respectful to women Eat vegetables Drink responsibly.

Q: Summarize the following: The vast majority of hernia surgeries are open surgeries. During this procedure, the surgeon will first separate the hernia from its surrounding tissues. Then, he will remove the hernia sac or push the intestines back into your abdominal cavity. The weakened abdominal muscles are closed with strong stitches. Because this surgery opens the abdominal muscles, some people experience further muscle weakness and hernia after surgery. To prevent this, surgeons often sew a piece of mesh into the abdominal wall. This helps strengthen the wall and prevent a hernia from recurring. Only about 10% of all hernia surgeries are done laparoscopically. Instead of making a large cut to your abdominal muscles, potentially weakening them further, the surgeon makes three to four smaller cuts. He uses a laparoscope — a tiny camera mounted on a long, thin tube — to see inside the body instead of opening the patient up. The laparoscope and surgical tools are inserted through the small incisions, but otherwise, the surgery is the same as open surgery. Open surgeries are more common, and surgeons may be more comfortable with them. They also provide a clearer view of the tissue being manipulated. This is why they’re recommended for large or complicated hernias. However, a laparoscopic surgery heals faster with less scarring, and causes less pain. Make sure the doctors have an updated list of all drugs (both prescription and over-the-counter) and supplements you're taking. On the night before the surgery, you must fast after midnight. This includes both food and liquids. Ask the doctor if you will be released from the hospital on the same day as the surgery. Make sure you have a ride home from the hospital if you will. If you had a complicated hernia or surgery, the hospital may want to keep you behind for a few days after surgery. Specifically, they will monitor your diet to make sure you ease back into normal amounts of food. In some cases, an abrupt return to a normal diet can cause intestinal paralysis., A: Learn what happens during an open hernia surgery. Consider getting laparoscopic surgery. Discuss which surgery is best for you with your doctor. Prepare for your surgery. Stay in the hospital for monitoring, if necessary. | 1 |

The answer of "Summarize the following You do not have to clean the WubbaNub in the washing machine every time—only when the plushie part is dirty. You can save time, water, and detergent by adding all of your baby's other items into the washing machine as well. Do not use a dishwasher. You can use whatever detergent your normally use to wash your baby's cloths, but it would be much better if you use a gentle, baby-safe detergent, however. This is because babies have sensitive skin and can get rashes from regular detergents. Select your desire water temperature, then set the cycle to gentle. Let the cycle start and complete. How long this takes depends on the type of washing machine you have. It should typically only take around 30 minutes or so. Once the cycle ends, take the WubbaNub out of the washing machine, and hang it up in a well-ventilated area. Allow it to air dry completely before handing it back to your baby. If you washed your baby's clothes and blankets in the same load, you can let those air dry as well, or you can toss them into the dryer.

The summary of "Remove all the cinnamon rolls from two cans and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Whisk together a bread pudding base of egg yolks, half-and-half, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. Place the cinnamon roll bites in a greased baking dish and pour the bread pudding mixture over it. Bake the bread pudding for about one hour at 350 degrees F (175 C). You can also divide the bread pudding among smaller ramekins instead of one large baking dish. You may need to reduce the cooking time slightly. Check the ramekins around 20 minutes into baking. Cinnamon rolls cook up really quickly as waffles which makes them a great breakfast or rich dessert. Simply spray a waffle iron with baking spray and heat it up. Place one canned cinnamon roll on the iron and close it. Let the cinnamon roll waffle cook for 3 to 4 minutes. It should flatten and cook completely. Drizzle the cinnamon roll waffles with the icing or you could use maple syrup. Spray a Bundt pan with baking spray and open 2 cans of cinnamon rolls. Cut the cinnamon rolls into bite sized pieces and roll them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place them into the pan and bake them at 350 degrees F (175 C) for about 20 minutes. Flip it out of the pan and drizzle the monkey bread with the icing packet. You can also make extra gooey glaze by mixing butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread the gooey glaze over the cinnamon roll bites in the pan before baking. To make long cinnamon roll sticks, unroll five cinnamon rolls into long strips. If you're going to add a filling (like shredded coconut, mini-chocolate chips, or chopped nuts), press 1 tablespoon of the filling onto each unrolled dough strip. Fold the strip of dough in half and twist it around a few times to make a spiral. Bake the cinnamon twists at 350 degrees F (175 C) for 18 to 20 minutes. While you can drizzle the twists with icing, you could also serve them with a side of icing for dipping. Divide one can of cinnamon rolls into five rolls. Place one of the rolls in the center of a baking pan and unroll the remaining four rolls so they're long strips of dough. Loosely wrap each of the strips around the center piece of dough so you make one large cinnamon roll. Bake the giant roll at 350 degrees F (175 C) for 20 to 25 minutes. You can drizzle the giant cinnamon roll with the icing while it's still warm from the oven." is Employ yourself. Consider joining the military. Volunteer. | 0 |
The summary of "It's best to decide this in advance so that you're able to invite the people you want and have the party that you want. Choosing the date will tell you how much time you have to get things ready. Unless you're only having a small get-together, you'll want to make sure that your guests have enough time to plan to make your party. You also want to take into consideration things like the weather, other events that are happening, when you're picking the date. For example: you don't want to plan an outdoor party in the middle of winter (or if you do, you'll want to make sure both yourself and your guests are prepared). You will need to know how much money you have to spend on the party since this will mean that you may need to come up with creative solutions in terms of food and drinks and entertainment. It's a good idea to set out how much money you're willing to spend in certain categories: drinks, food, entertainment, decorations, etc. You can also think about what you would like to be able to do (have a 20s themed party, etc.) and figure out ways to make that possible on a limited budget (for example: print out prohibition era images, drape your lamps in fabric, tape bead chains to your ceiling, to give the effect of a 20s speakeasy). This could be a birthday party, a cocktail party, some sort of special celebration, or just a friendly get-together with your favorite people. How you prepare for the party will depend on how big it is, how lavish it is and what it is the party is about. There are certain logistics to consider for different types of parties. For example, if you're planning a surprise birthday party for a friend, you have to make sure that they'll be available, that other people don't spoil the surprise, that you have a way to get the friend to the party, and so on. Now it's time to figure out who you're inviting and how many people you're inviting. This will depend on things like the timing of the party, what kind of party it is, and what your budget is. If you're having the party in your house or a friend's house, consider how many people you can comfortably fit into it (or not; maybe you'll all be dancing up on one another). If you've decided to have a nice dinner party, then you should probably keep down the number of people you're inviting. Make sure that you invite people you find interesting and who might find one another interesting. The worst thing is when you invite people who are really unsuitable for one another and don't mesh well (for example: your friend from your punk rock group and your boyfriend's corporate work cronies). Now that you know what kind of party you're having and how many people you're inviting it's time to figure out where you're going to have the party. If it's a dinner party or a small group of friends, it's fine to have it at your house or apartment. If it's going to be bigger you might want to start considering alternate options. You also want to make sure that you're aware of the limitations offered by the different locations you're considering. For example: if you're having the party at your house and you only have a hot plate, or a very small stove, you might want to avoid food that you have to make, or you might want to farm out that task on a friend. If your party is too big for your house consider different options like: having outside at the park or in a greenhouse, having it at a museum, going to a state park and having it there, renting some sort of hall. Have the appropriate seating. If you're having a sit-down dinner you will definitely need to make sure that you have a seat for each person. Even if you're having a buffet style meal, you'll want to make sure that people can sit down and eat (otherwise you'll be having more spills to clean up). Parties have to have something that makes them enjoyable and makes them successful. This can be anything from a sweet playlist to a full scale swing band, board games (or something like Cards Against Humanity), a theme (like a noir murder mystery party), or anything you want. The more people you have the harder it would be to have a party that is about games, because it would be hard to organize all those people (not impossible, if you really want to). For large parties having music and a dance floor is a good idea. You can even do a craft style party (or a letter writing party). Have everyone bring there supplies; provide tea or alcohol and have at it. This is another reason why it's good to plan ahead, and also why it's good to ask people to bring something. You don't want to run out of drinks or food during the party. A good idea for drinks is to have one signature drink (in addition to the beer and wine people usually bring). It could be something like champagne (classy); you can get Prosecco for half the price. You could also do something like a pitcher of Sangria, or margaritas. Make sure that you have drinks for the nondrinkers and the designated drivers, if this is a party with alcohol. You can do something fun for them like having bubbly water with a little fruit juice and some fruit. For some creative food ideas you might try fondue (you can have cheese fondue with bread and veggies and things, and a dessert fondue with bits of cake or strawberries dipped in chocolate). You could do your food buffet style and have a theme (like Mexican food night). Have people bring a little something. To make the party planning and throwing easier on you, ask people to bring something, like some appetizers, a nice wine or some beer. This way all the food and drink planning won't rest entirely on your shoulders. A good idea is to make a list of the food and drinks that you want at your party. Mark down which ones you are capable (and your kitchen) is capable of handling and then ask your guests to pick something that they can bring. Make sure that you enlist a couple of your closest friends to help you clean up after the party so you aren't stuck doing it by yourself. Depending on the time of the party (afternoon, all night, morning, etc.) you may want to wait and clean up the next day. Put on some music to help get you through the boring parts of the clean up and if you're with friends chat about the party and how much fun you had. It will make you less irritated that you're having to clean everything up, if you remember why you're doing it." is Avoid biting your nails. Do not pull off hang nails.

Q: Summarize the following: Before you open, you need to know what kinds of services you will provide. This process is called finding your niche. It’s unlikely that you’ll be a “Jack of All Trades,” so identify the services you want to specialize in. If you are an experienced accountant, then think about the type of work you have enjoyed most. Do you want to work with businesses, individuals, non-profits, etc.? Do you know what type of work you don’t want to do? If you have no experience, then it might take you a while to find your niche. However, you can talk with accountants who are currently practicing to get a feel for what they do. You might be excited to jump into your new accounting business with both feet. However, you need to realistically assess whether you can afford to start a full-time accounting business. Instead, you might choose to continue to work your day job but build your accounting business at night or on the weekends. If you are currently an accountant, then proceed cautiously. Your employer won’t like that you are setting up a new business as a competitor. Partnering with an established accounting professional can help you get a business off the ground. Working with a partner means more industry connections and more capital. Reach out to people who have recently started their own accounting businesses and schedule a lunch. Tell them you want to start a business and ask if they are open to bringing on a partner. Choose your partners wisely. An ideal partner should complement your skills. You should also agree on where you want to take your accounting business. If you don’t see eye to eye, then forming a partnership could create problems down the road. In some ways, buying an existing accounting practice is the easiest option. You already have a built-in client list and visibility in the community. On the downside, this is usually an expensive option. Make sure that you can spread out the purchase price over several years. If you decide to go down this route, then you should thoroughly investigate the business. You want to make sure their niche aligns with your interests. Writing a business plan is a necessity if you need funding. Lenders will only extend a loan after looking at your business plan. However, writing a business plan is also a great exercise on its own because it forces you to focus on the nuts and bolts of your business. Your plan should have the following parts: Executive summary. Write this last but put it first. It’s a one- or two-page summary of your entire business plan. Company description. Explain your business structure and how it fits into the accounting industry. Also identify your goals or objectives. Products and services. Describe your accounting services and anything that makes you unique. Marketing and sales analysis. You need to identify your competitors and then analyze their business, pointing out their strengths and weaknesses. Also create a profile of your ideal client. Consider age, income, education, location, etc. Organization details. If your business is large, you can provide an organization chart of departments and key employees. Also provide background information about your management team. Financial plan. You should project your finances for the next several years. Financial projections are particularly important if you need funding. Fortunately, accountants don’t need a lot of equipment to run their business. At a minimum, you’ll need the following, so budget for them: computer printer telephone fax machine copier account software (e.g., QuickBooks Pro) A mentor can answer your questions and be a sympathetic ear to bounce ideas off of. Finding a more experienced accountant to act as your mentor will benefit you, especially if you don’t want to go into partnership with one. Remember that your mentor will be primarily a business mentor. They can help on the business side of things. If you also have accounting questions, you might want to get a second mentor., A: Open the profile menu. Select Likes. Review your liked posts. View the people who you're following.

The summary of "There are many options, from light body sprays to the stronger perfumes and colognes. Fragrances smell slightly different on every person, so make sure you’ve tried yours on ahead of time to ensure you like the way it smells on you. Keep in mind that strong fragrances bother some people, so keep in light if you decide to go this route. You may choose to skip it altogether if you are going to be very active that day, or if you will be in tight quarters with people. Another reason you may skip this step is if your deodorant is scented. You don't want too many competing scents. Perfume and cologne are totally optional! This is also optional, but makes some people feel more confident. There are many different kinds of makeup you can try, and the options can be overwhelming if you don’t use makeup often. Just try different products until you find the ones you feel the best in.

The summary of "For the most part, diarrhea and constipation should be monitored for 1-2 days at home before veterinary assistance is necessary. However, under certain conditions, you should talk to your vet right away. Blood in the stool requires immediate evaluation. Bloody stools will be black and tarry in appearance. If you think your pet got into something toxic, take it to the vet right away. Pale gums and a fever accompanying diarrhea should be evaluated right away. Diarrhea accompanied by vomiting should be evaluated. If you have a young kitten who has not yet been vaccinated, have a vet evaluate things like diarrhea. Go to the vet if your pet is straining repeatedly. Have your pet evaluated if your pet has severe diarrhea and is losing a lot of liquid as a result. If the diarrhea lasts longer than 24-48 hours, take your pet to the vet. Usually, your vet will conduct a brief physical exam of your pet. He or she will listen to your pet's heart beat and breathing and examine them for any obvious signs of injury or sickness. From here, your vet will ask for a brief medical history. You should include any unusual behaviors you've noticed previously. Diarrhea and constipation can sometimes be caused by underlying conditions, and a full medical history can help a vet determine which tests are necessary. If your pet was recently exposed to wildlife, or if it ate something unusual, mention this here. Also, tell your vet about any medications your pet is taking. Some medications may cause diarrhea or constipation as a side effect. There are many different ways to treat diarrhea, if your vet determines medical treatment is necessary. Go over a potential treatment plan with your vet to make sure you understand how to properly correct the issue. Parasites can sometimes cause a problem with diarrhea, so your vet may recommend medication to correct this. If diarrhea is severe, your pet may need to stay overnight to receive intravenous liquids to correct or prevent dehydration. Other medications may be used to calm the gastrointestinal tract. Not all cases of vomiting and diarrhea can be treated easily. If your pet is diagnosed with a lifelong condition, like diabetes, you will have to have a long talk to your vet about longterm treatment. It's a good idea to have constipation evaluated as well if it does not clear up on its own within a few days. You can talk to your vet about how to properly treat the issue. Stimulants or laxatives are frequently used to treat mild constipation. Severe constipation can be more of a problem.

The summary of "It is vital to check if the source of water is clean and not contaminated by harmful microorganisms. Contaminated water is one of the ways in which a stomach virus can be transmitted. There are several ways to decontaminate water, the easiest of which is boiling. Water should be brought to a boiling point for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the heat. This ensures that microorganisms in the water are killed. Alternatively, if you find yourself in a location where you are unsure about water safety, you could stick to drinking bottled water. However, the seal on each bottle must be checked for any signs of tampering to ensure water safety. Substances like chlorine and iodine are dissolved in water to kill microorganisms. These chemical disinfectants work by breaking the chemical bonds in the molecules of bacteria and viruses. This causes the entire molecule to fall apart or to change shape, which in turn causes a microorganism to die. To disinfect water, the following must be done: Add 2 drops of chlorine in 1 liter (0.3 US gal) of water. Stir the mixture well for at least 2 minutes. Wait for 30 minutes before using it. However, this method does not give 100 percent efficiency, thus filtering or boiling should still be utilized. These type of devices contain a pore size of less than 0.5 microns to filter viruses and bacteria. They work by trapping microorganisms in the filter so that the water passing through it is safe to drink. Portable filtration devices should be used in combination with either the boiling method or chemical disinfectant. To use portable filtration devices, the following must be done: Fit your water filter onto the faucet. Most water filters are made according to universal measurements so that they can fit almost all faucets. Press firmly to ensure that it is tightly sealed. Open the faucet and let it flow for at least 5 minutes to remove any carbon dust. Portable filtration devices should be changed every month to ensure that the water is properly filtered. Microorganisms accumulate in the filter as time passes by, that’s why it must be changed monthly. You will never know how these foods are prepared and if they are safe enough to eat. They may contain harmful microorganisms such as those which cause stomach virus, especially if they are prepared using dirty hands and contaminated food ingredients. Spoiled foods must be properly disposed and trash cans should be kept sealed at all times to avoid attracting pests like rodents and cockroaches. Garbage also can be a place for microorganism to thrive in. Always be updated with the latest news. A good understanding of current events can aid you make wise decisions regarding travelling or doing recreational activities in different places or countries.

Passage: Tinted moisturizer and foundation are both water-based products that contain moisturizing agents, oil, and pigment (to give some coverage). But, tinted moisturizers contain more moisturizing agents than foundation and generally offer lighter coverage. Depending on the makeup line, tinted moisturizers and foundations can be almost indistinguishable so you'll need to experiment with products. Tinted moisturizers come in a bunch of different formulas, so look for one that is right for you. If you have oily skin, for example, look for an oil-free formula. If you are worried about aging day-to-day sun exposure, look for a formula with SPF. If you want light, natural coverage, a tinted moisturizer may be for you. It offers a lighter coverage that looks more like your skin than some heavier foundations. It can also simplify your skincare routine by acting as your regular moisturizer. The humectants and emollients in the moisturizer will add moisture to your skin and help seal it in. Foundation is a better choice for people who are looking for heavier coverage. Try to match the tinted moisturizer shade to your face. If you're at a makeup counter, test a little on the side of your face. Or, test a little on the back of your hand. You shouldn't see any product on your skin if it blends well and matches. You should also check to see how your skin absorbs the product. Many tinted moisturizers offer sun protection and list SPF protection. In addition to apply a daily sunscreen, you may want to find a tinted moisturizer that has an SPF of at least 30 for additional protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Remember that the sunscreen protection from your tinted moisturizer will wear off within a few hours unless you reapply it or apply another sunscreen throughout the day. While you can simply rub tinted moisturizer onto your face using your fingertips, using a brush may give you more control. Consider using a duo fiber brush. This brush is small with a flat head so you can blend the tint into your skin. You can also use a blending sponge to get heavier coverage. Using a brush or sponge can help you achieve a more uniform makeup look., Summary: Choose a thicker material. Choose capris with minimal detail for a sleek look. Go with a wide-legged pair for a breezy look. Create curves with a tuxedo or trouser style. Avoid busy patterns for a slimmer look. | 0 |

Context: The alcohol in the beer can be damaging and drying for hair but these effects can be counteracted by adding a few essential oils. It not only adds extra nourishment to your beer hair wash but can also provide you with a calming effect when you're massaging the beer into you hair, all the while leaving you smelling great. Consider adding: Lemon oil: It strengthens hair, adds shine, and fights against dandruff. Almond oil: It moisturizes and soothes the scalp. Chamomile oil: It adds shine and softens hair. Jojoba oil: It adds nutrients to hair and moisturizes the scalp. Lavender oil: It acts as a deep conditioner that moisturizes, nourishes and adds antioxidants to hair. Sandalwood oil: It helps with dry or split ends. Vinegar helps with counteracting rough or brittle feeling hair but smoothing out the scales or cuticles found on each of strand of hair. Shampoo especially aggravates hair by lifting up these scales and preventing hair from feeling smooth and looking shiny. Consider using raw apple cider vinegar rather than commercial vinegar. Raw vinegar is not distilled, heated, or clarified. Raw vinegar has much of the good bacteria, nutrients, and enzymes needed to improve hair texture. You can mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to 8 ounces (250 mL) of water instead of beer and treat your hair the same way you would with a beer wash. It's best to only use a vinegar rinse a few times a week. If used everyday, it can be quite drying for hair., Summary: Explain the rules and their reasoning. Make a rule chart.

The summary of "All Pokémon have preferences when it comes to eating berries. You can tell by checking their nature. Nature, or also known as personality, was introduced in the Generation III games. Pokémon in the latest games have one of 25 natures. Flavor is also consistently liked or disliked by Pokémon, depending on which stat is raised or lowered; for example, all Pokémon who like spicy flavors will have a nature that raises their attack while those that dislike spicy flavors will all have a nature that lowers their attack. Pokémon will like and dislike a certain flavor, which we have listed below. Keep in mind that feeding them their disliked flavor will decrease their stats. Lonely, Adamant, Naughty, and Brave Pokémon loves spicy. However, Adamant dislikes sour and dry, Naughty dislikes bitter, and Brave dislikes sweet flavors. Bold, Impish, Lax, and Relaxed love sour flavors; but Bold dislikes sour, Impish dislikes dry, Lax dislikes bitter, and Relaxed disliked sweet. Modest, Mild, Rash, and Quiet love dry flavors; but Modest dislikes spicy, Mild dislikes sour, Rash dislikes bitter, and Quiet dislikes sweet. Calm, Gentle, Careful, and Sassy love bitter flavors; but Calm dislikes spicy, Gentle dislikes sour, Careful dislikes dry, and Sassy dislikes sweet. Timid, Hasty, Jolly, and Naive Pokémon love sweet flavors; but Timid dislikes spicy, Hasty dislikes sour, Jolly dislikes dry, and Naive dislikes bitter. Pokémon with Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky, and Serious nature have no preference when it comes to flavors. When you reach Route 7, go to the south exit and you will encounter a man and his daughter that opened a field; they will gladly let you use it. You will be given six rows of plots, each being able to grow 6 trees. You can get berries to grow here in various trees dotted around the Kalos region. Just like in the previous version of the game, you can place mulch on the ground then place a berry. Once you get Sprinklotad, you'll be able to water the areas to keep the soil moist. There are a few changes in this version of the game. First is the sudden appearance of weeds around the berries. This will hinder the growth of the plant and result in a less bountiful crop. There are also bug-type Pokémon, such as Spewpa, that will attack your plants, and you need to battle them in order to protect your berries. Mulch is given added importance within these berry fields since it helps make your plant grow and give bountiful of crops. In the fields, there are two composters. If you feed them 3 berries, you will receive some mulch. There are four kinds of mulch in X and Y version of the game: Amaze Mulch has the effects of Rich, Surprise, and Boost.

Passage: They usually have gentler ingredients which will allow your hair to retain its shape. Generally, any product with "sulfate" in the ingredients should be avoided. DevaCurl and Shea Moisture are two good brands, but there are many more out there. Conditioner replaces lost oils in your hair and restores a healthy pH balance, which is essential for beautiful hair. This is doubly true for curly hair, as healthy hair is less likely to get frizzy or out of control. Look for conditioners that contain protein. Leave-in conditioners, which you don't wash out, are particularly useful for curly hair. Shampoo strips your hair of oil and minerals along with dirt and grime, leaving your hair brittle and dry. This can lead to flat, unattractive curls if you aren't careful. Try using shampoo every other day, instead of every time you get in the shower. Your hair wants to be naturally curly, and, though occasional straightening is okay, overdoing it will damage you hair. This makes it more prone to frizz and damage, leading it further out of control. Some people would kill for curls like yours, so enjoy them instead of trying to get rid of them. Use a curling iron to get the best curls you can for special occasions. You can take your natural curls and elevate them into bouncy, movie-quality locks that are impossible for naturally straight-haired people to get right. Curly hair cannot be cut the same way as straight hair. You stylist needs to know how to work with your curls to get the best head of hair possible. Bring in pictures of hairstyles you would like to emulate, and don't be afraid to switch stylists if you are unhappy with the cut. Lightly comb your hair, then wrap it up in a towel while you sleep. This will help it retain its shape the next morning and keep your beautiful curls intact., Summary: Use a shampoo and conditioner made for curly hair. Use conditioner every time you shower. Limit shampoo use to 2-3 times a week. Avoid straightening your hair. Curl your curls. Talk to your hairdresser about "curly cuts. Shower the night before you want to do you hair. | 1 |
The summary of "Pedal boards can be bought off the shelf or customized to your particular set-up. Whether you choose a small, medium, or large pedal board generally depends on the number of pedals you're using on a regular basis and the size of those pedals. Generally, if you're using five or fewer pedals, you want a small pedal board. For more than ten pedals, on the other hand, you want a large pedal board. Also take into consideration if you plan to add more pedals over time. For example, if you currently use four pedals but plan on adding three more, it's best to go ahead and get a medium-sized pedal board so you'll have room for the others when you get them. If your pedals are oversized, you may want to get a large pedal board even if you're only using four or five pedals. This will prevent overcrowding. Whether you're buying a pre-built board or building your own, you need to make sure the pedal board will power all your pedals. While most pedals require 9 volts of power, some require more. Be sure to check the power requirements of every pedal in your set-up – don't just assume they're all the same. You also want to check the power requirements of pedals you plan to add later on to ensure the board you buy can handle them. Your power supply needs to have the correct voltage as well as be able to handle the number of pedals you have or ultimately will have once your set-up is complete. For example, if you have 10 pedals, all of which require 9 volts, you'll need a 9-volt power supply capable of handling 10 or more pedals. If you have one pedal that requires 12 volts, you'll need to look for a power supply that allows you to isolate pedals, because you don't want 12 volts running through the other pedals that require less power. While you do want to leave a little bit of space between pedals on your pedal board to keep it from looking cluttered, you still want to use extremely short patch cables to preserve the quality of your sound. Choose cables with right-angle plugs rather than straight plugs, and this will cut down on the amount of space the cables take. If you have the tools to do so, you can pretty easily cut your own cables, which can both save you money and ensure that your cables are the exact length you need for your particular set-up. Avoid black cables, as they can get lost on a stage and you may not be able to easily identify the problem if one is unhooked or damaged. Because you may want to change the order of your pedals to alter your guitar's tone, use a non-permanent means such as Velcro to fix the pedals in place on your pedal board. Particularly if you're working with a large number of pedals, you may want to stagger them so they alternate between the front and rear edges of the pedal board. This will make it easier for you to differentiate between them and hit the pedal you want during a performance. Make sure the pedals you use most often are laid out so they are easiest for you to reach with your foot. Keep in mind that the location of the pedals on the board doesn't necessarily need to follow the signal chain you've created exactly. However, you do want to follow it as closely as possible to reduce the length of the patch cables." is Choose the right size. Check the power requirements of your pedals. Find an adequate power supply. Use compact patch cables. Velcro your pedals to the board. | 1 |
Q: Summarize the following: Tensing and relaxing your muscles can help drive the tension from your body. You can then gain added benefits by using guided imagery to relax your mind. This practice has been shown to positively effect mood, and to reduce anxiety and fatigue. You can use imagery along with deep breathing before you start to put yourself in a relaxed state. Alternately, you can wait until you are relaxed and then imagine yourself in a safe, relaxing space to increase your sense of relaxation. Think of a real or imagined place where you feel safe, calm, and happy. There is no "wrong" place. It is, however, best to stick with a place once you choose it, as this makes reaching a relaxed state easier. Common safe places include: A beach The woods A mountaintop A sunny park A spot you visited on vacation Your favorite room in your house, past or present Feel the calmness as you imagine each detail. Use all of your senses, not just sight. For example, if your safe place were a sunny meadow, you might concentrate on: The colors – the green of the grass, the pure blue of the sky The sounds – the buzz of bees, the trill of birdsong, the whistle of the wind in the grass The sensations – the wind on your skin, the warm sun on your face, the grass under your arms Smells – the clean air with a hint of grass and wildflowers When thoughts do arise, don't fight them. Gently return your focus to the details of the calm, relaxing space. If you have difficulty ridding yourself of a thought, imagine putting an image of it on a TV screen, then use a remote control to turn it off. You can also imagine putting the image in a drawer and closing the drawer. You are completely relaxed, with no desire to be anywhere else, to do anything else. Your mind and body are at ease., A: Don’t eat for 3 hours before going to sleep. Go for a 15- or 20-minute walk after eating so food works through your system. Practice stress-relieving techniques so your body processes food easier. | 0 |
Passage: Umbrella policies are supplemental insurance policies that protect you from liability over and beyond what your homeowner's and automobile policies will pay. Some umbrella policies offer protection both in excess of the amounts in your homeowner's and auto policies (excess coverage), but also offer coverage for items that are not covered in those policies (drop down coverage). Most insurers offer them, so check with yours about rates and pricing. Although it's not very romantic to think about, divorce is an extremely common source of financial loss. Completing a prenuptial agreement with your partner, which agrees on the division of assets beforehand, can help avoid it. Due diligence with lawyers is a must. A prenuptial agreement is only as good as the lawyer who wrote it. Make sure that you employ sharp and honest counsel. Retirement accounts, such as 401(k)s, are often protected from litigation (legal action, such as being sued) by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Furthermore, money in 401(k) accounts is also protected from creditors during bankruptcy proceedings. It is therefore a good idea to put as much into these designated retirement accounts as you can. A legal proxy is a person or entity that is authorized to act on your behalf. Forming a legal proxy, like an LLC or a corporation, can also be a good way to protect your assets. These legal entities protect the individual from personal liability if their company is found liable for some type of wrong, but this protection also goes the other way. These corporate forms can be especially useful if the corporation owns your real estate holdings, instead of you as an individual. A corporation is a common legal structure that can protect its owners' assets from litigation. Others include certain types of partnerships and limited liability companies (LLCs). One example of proxy would be if you owned an apartment building. Instead of having the building in your name, you would create a company that owns and manages the property. This would keep your financial assets separate from the company's financial assets. Then, if one of your tenants has an issue and wants to sue, they would sue your company and not you directly. You can also create a trust or foundation to protect your assets from taxation and litigation, provided certain requirements are met. It is advisable that you work with an attorney and/or a financial planner to set up these structures. Life insurance can also be a great way to protect your money from litigation, as most life insurance policies are exempt from an individual's legal liability in many states. Also, buying any kind of insurance obligates an insurer to defend you in court if a litigant tries to go after assets contained in the policy. Since many umbrella policies cover items in excess of amounts in auto and homeowner's policies and losses not covered by either type, buying an umbrella policy can be a great way to shield money from litigants., Summary: Get a backup insurance plan. Create a prenuptial agreement. Feed your retirement accounts. Create a legal proxy, like a company. Buy life insurance. | 1 |
Passage: There are many varieties of the hibiscus flower, but the hibiscus sabdariffa variety is the one that gives you the best flavor. The calyx is the green, trumpet-shaped part at the base of the flower, which will eventually turn red and brittle. The hibiscus must be pesticide-free if you are using it for tea. It does not have to be pesticide-free if you are using it for general crafts. You can try using this method for the actual flowers too, but you will need to adjust the drying time. Timing is everything here. Find hibiscus flowers that are in bloom, then wait for them to fall. Locate the red calyx, then pick it after 24 to 48 hours. This will ensure that it is ripe. The calyx should pop off of its stem easily. If you have to pull it off, it is not ripe yet. Try again the next day. Cut the calyx from the stem of the flower first. Next, cut a shallow slit down the length of the calyx. Pry open the calyx with your fingers, then pop the seed pod out. Try to keep the calyx intact. Don't throw the seed pods away! Allow the seed pods to dry for 1 week, then crack them open and plant the seeds. Preheat the dehydrator between 95 to 115 °F (35 to 46 °C). Spread the calyxes on the tray in a single layer. Allow the calyxes to dry completely before taking them out of the dehydrator. This will take about 1 to 4 hours. Each dehydrator is different, so follow the instructions on your model carefully. Pour 2 cups (475 milliliters) of hot water over 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of dried hibiscus calyxes. Allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes before removing the calyxes. Flavor the tea as desired with lemon juice, sugar, or honey. Serve the tea hot or iced. If you want a stronger tea, use more hibiscus calyxes and increase the brewing time. If hibiscus tea isn't for you, you can add the dehydrated calyx to homemade potpourri. You can try using it in homemade candles or soap as well, but it would be a good idea to crumble it up first so that it isn't as bulky. Alternatively, you can string whole calyxes onto thread and make a pretty garland for your room., Summary: Listen to your parents. Model responsible behavior. Help around the house. Apologize when you’re wrong. Stick up for your siblings. Speak with kindness. Work hard at school or at your job. Be honest. | 0 |
Passage: Though you don't necessarily need to be board certified, getting the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) certification can increase your professional opportunities and advance your career. Getting board certified by ASHA requires you to complete and maintain a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in either Audiology or Speech-Language Pathology. For a career as an audiologist, you will want the Audiology CCC. ASHA certification is recognized by the state regulatory agency in almost every U.S. state. You will need to register with ETS in order to take the ASHA Praxis II exam (Subject Assessment in Audiology: 5342). You can find test centers and testing dates by searching online by your ZIP Code, or find international test sites by searching for the country you reside in. The exam will take two hours to complete and is taken entirely on a computer. The exam is a mix of multiple choice and constructed-response questions. For multiple choice questions, it's best to limit your answers to one of the given options and eliminate the answers that you know are incorrect. For constructed-response questions, you'll need to answer the question as accurately and completely as possible. You can take the practice exams online at the ASHA website to get a good feel for the types of questions asked and the general format of the exam. There are five categories: Foundations (12 questions), Prevention and Identification (12 questions), Assessment (48 questions), Intervention (36 questions), and Professional Issues (12 questions). The Foundations section is worth 10% of your grade. It covers acoustics, anatomy, physiology, etiology, psychometrics, counseling principles, and cultural linguistic diversity. The Prevention and Identification section is worth 10% of your grade. It covers education and prevention, as well as screening and risk assessment. The Assessment section is worth 40% of your grade. It covers planning, behavioral evaluation, physiologic evaluation, and other methods of assessment. The Intervention section is worth 30% of your grade. It covers treatment planning, device selection, device verification, symptom management, and rehabilitation. The Professional Issues section is worth 10% of your grade. It covers professional ethics, legal practice, and patient advocacy. You will receive a raw score, which tells you how many questions you answered correctly, as well as a scaled score that adjusts your score according to the difficulty of each question. For audiology, you must earn a minimum scaled score of 170 in order to pass the Praxis exam. It may take up to 16 days after the testing window closes before you receive your score. You will be able to download your scores through the Praxis website by creating a My Praxis account online. To apply for ASHA certification, you must hold both a doctoral degree and a masters degree from universities accredited by the CAA. You will need to complete a four-page application (with one page being completed and signed by your program's director), disclose any ethical problems, send official graduate transcripts, and pay the necessary dues and fees. In addition to your application materials, you will need to pay to become ASHA certified. You will then have to make annual payments to maintain that certification. How much you pay will depend upon your previous professional associations and educational experience. If you are or have been a member of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA), you may be eligible for a reduced fee of $289. Otherwise, recent graduates (within the last 12 months) must pay $461. Anyone who did not graduate recently and is not affiliated with NSSLHA must pay $455 for certification or $511 for certification and ASHA membership. Once you've completed the application, passed the Praxis exam, and assembled your application packet, you'll need to submit it to ASHA for review. You should send your materials through the mail and address the package to American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, P.O. Box 1160, #313, Rockville, MD 20849. After your application has been received, it can take four to six weeks for your materials to be reviewed. During busy periods, it may take up to eight weeks for your application to be fully reviewed. If you're concerned about your application materials, you can contact the ASHA Action Center by calling 800-498-2071., Summary: Try to determine the type of insect that bit your child.

Context: Certain states and municipalities require that you get a permit before felling a tree. Search online for local or state ordinances and make sure to get the proper permits before you cut down the tree. Safety goggles and a helmet or hard hat will protect your head and eyes from falling debris, which is one of the main injuries that occur from cutting down trees. Kevlar chaps will protect your legs from chainsaw grazes. You can purchase all of this safety gear online or at a hardware store. Take a look at the area around the tree to make sure there aren’t structures or other trees in the area where you want it to fall. Things like power lines, fences, and roads should all be considered before you fell a tree. You’ll want there to be an area that’s cleared out where the tree is free to fall. If there are a lot of structures around the tree, consider hiring professionals rather than doing it yourself. Cutting down a tree so that it falls into another tree could start a potentially dangerous domino effect. Make sure that your tree is healthy and free of disease or the cutting down process could be unpredictable. Similarly, you’ll want to make sure that the tree isn’t leaning significantly in a certain direction because then you won’t be able to control the direction it falls in. The fall path should be free of structures, roads, and other trees. Make sure that there's enough space for the tree to fall on its side without colliding with anything else. Estimate the height of the tree, then use a tape measure to measure the distance from the base of the tree to an area that's free of objects. This will be your fall path. To control the fall path, you'll cut a notch in the side of the tree that you want it to fall on. Sticks, logs, and stones could trip you as you try to get away from the falling tree. Remove anything from around the tree that could cause you to trip or fall. Once you get to know the area around you, you can establish a route to walk in as the tree is falling. You should never stand or walk in front or behind a falling tree. Make sure there is a clear path to walk in and step at least 15 feet (4.6 m) to the side of the tree as it falls., Summary: Check with your local government for required permits. Wear safety goggles, helmet, and kevlar chaps. Survey the area around the tree for structures. Examine the tree for stability and lean. Determine the fall path of the tree. Pick up sticks and debris near the tree. Plan an escape route for after the tree falls. | 1 |
Passage: Most states allow you to choose the date and time of your exam. Visit the website for your state's department of insurance to find out what scheduling options you have. Book your exam time at least 2 weeks in advance for a better chance of getting the slot you want. Each state charges a fee to take their life insurance exam, which will range between $40-$150 depending on your state. Follow the instructions given to you when you book your exam to pay the fees. Many states will allow you to pay online with a credit card and require you to pay before taking the exam. Exam fees are usually not refundable in the event that you cancel your appointment less than 24 hours in advance or miss your designated test time. In many states your fingerprints must be submitted as part of a background check before doing your exam. Call your state's department of insurance or visit its website to find out its specific requirements for fingerprinting, which will likely mean visiting a local law enforcement agency. Note whether an extra fee needs to be paid for the fingerprint test, or if it is included in your license application. For instance, in Wyoming you will be sent a fingerprint packet by mail to be completed at the nearest law enforcement agency. When you arrive at the exam location, you will have to sign in. Be sure to bring a piece of photo ID to prove that you are in fact you before taking the test. If you do not have a valid, government-issued ID, you will likely have to forfeit the exam and you'll lose the fee you paid to take it. For example, a driver's license or passport are good pieces of ID to bring with you., Summary: Decide whether it's worth speaking up. Recognize your friend may be ignorant. Acknowledge your friend may not have meant to offend you. | 0 |
Passage: Students are going to follow your lectures more if they see you using certain technological tools. You should become aware of what materials your classroom provides and be able to use them correctly. Some of these may include: Smartboards Computer projectors Programmed slide shows (PowerPoint, etc.) Students are surrounded by technology, and they should be encouraged to use the tools that are available to them. In teaching math, you need to combine adequate memorization and understanding along with the use of technology. Students should be taught to use such tools as: Graphing calculators Smartboards iPads and other tablet accessories Students who habitually forget to write down homework assignments or who lose or forget their notebooks can be encouraged to enter assignments into their cell phone calendars. This is more likely to assure that the assignment at least makes its way home. You can also encourage your students to do their homework if you allow the use of certain support apps. Research the Internet for a wide variety of math homework apps that you might recommend to your students. Homework apps, if used improperly, can cut into student learning. But if you research the apps carefully and direct your students’ work, you can make the most of the available tools. MetaCalculator and WolframAlpha are two useful apps you may want to investigate. Particularly in teaching math, you need to ask if the apps are adding to the learning experience or taking away from it. There are some apps, such as one called Photomath, that will actually show students the answers to their homework problems. While this could look like cheating, you need to require that students be able to explain their answers and the steps they perform. In this way, students who need help at home can use the app for guidance. In the end, however, they should know that you will be checking for their overall understanding., Summary: Choose a flat-front pant. Look for a leg that tapers slightly. Pick a rise that fits around your hips. Avoid excessive pockets. | 0 |

Context: If your thermostat is set to a high temperature, your gas bill is bound to be expensive. Try lowering your thermostat a few degrees to reduce your bill by 5-10%. For instance, turn the temperature from 70 °F (21 °C) to 68 °F (20 °C). Don’t keep the heat on in your home when it’s not necessary. Turn off the heat when you’re at work or gone on the weekends. The energy saved will reduce the cost of your gas bill. Some areas in your home need to be warmer than others. For example, it may be important to you to keep the main floor warm, while the basement can be a bit cooler. You can control the heat by installing radiator valves on every radiator in your home. These self-regulating valves allow you to control the temperature of each room by adjusting the amount of hot water goes to the radiator. Personal, or space, heaters use up a lot of energy. Plus, they are an inefficient way of warming up large areas. Avoid using them and instead look for more efficient ways to keep warm—like improving your home’s insulation. If you want to warm a small space only, a personal heater may be more effective than heating the whole home with a furnace. Choose a radiant heater, which are more energy-efficient than other models., Summary: Lower the thermostat. Turn off the heat when you’re not home. Save energy with radiator valves. Reduce the use of personal heaters. | 1 |
Context: Dirty clothing can quickly overtake a laundry room, making it seem drab and unorganized. Try positioning several laundry baskets in the room, with each one dedicated to a particular type of laundry. For example, you could sort laundry into a basket for white clothing, one for colored clothing, and one for household laundry like sheets and towels. Keep your sweaty running shorts and muddy gardening socks separate from the rest of your clothes. Try placing a canvas bin on the floor and tossing grimy items directly in the bin. Make sure each member of your family has their own laundry basket. Place clean laundry in personal baskets, and ask each family member to retrieve the basket and put away the laundry. Store empty baskets on a shelf. Try baskets with fun, attractive designs to prevent folded or dirty laundry from becoming an eyesore., Summary: Make an appointment with your doctor. Discuss the condition with your doctor. Have testing done. | 0 |
Context: The ion technology behind these hair dryers allows them to dry your hair much faster with the least amount of damage. The negative ions the dryer emits cause your hair cuticle to lay flat, which smooths out frizz and coarseness, resulting in straighter, shinier hair. Ionic blow dryers tend to be on the pricy side, but there are affordable versions out there. Be sure to get one that comes with a nozzle attachment. Look for one that is at least 1500 watts. Ceramic-plated flat irons straighten hair faster and more efficiently than other types of irons, and they are also the most gentle on hair. Look for one that's no wider than an inch and a half, since anything wider isn't ideal for straightening hair (the wider ones are better for styling hair). Ceramic flat irons are the best choice for those who have fine to normal hair. If you have thick, curly hair, opt for a gold or titanium-plated flat iron. Some companies make flat irons plated with a blend of ceramic and titanium – these are excellent choices for coarse hair. For general hair brushing (not blow drying), a boar bristle brush is the ideal choice because it's very gentle on your hair. Boar bristles also add shine and sleekness by redistributing the natural oil in your hair as you brush through it. Avoid hair brushes with nylon or plastic bristles for general hair brushing. These tend to cause breakage and hair damage. These are the ideal brushes to use on your hair when you're in the process of blow drying it. Make sure you get one that has a combination of boar hair and nylon bristles, which will create a smooth, glossy sheen. Avoid using round metal brushes when drying your hair to prevent breakage and damage., Summary: Invest in an ionic blow dryer. Get a high-quality ceramic flat iron. Buy a hair brush with boar hair bristles. Get a flat paddle hair brush. | 1 |

The answer of "Summarize the following Use lightweight styling mousse on dry, clean, straightened hair. It would be a good idea to straighten your hair, even if it is naturally curly. This will help prevent frizz. Make sure your hair has been recently washed. A straightener can fry dirty hair. Consider pulling your hair up into a loose bun with the bottom half loose. This will give you a more manageable amount of hair to work with, while keeping the extra hair out of the way. The smaller sections you work with, the more crimped your hair will be. Flip the straightener upwards by 180°. Gently tug downward on the loose ends of the hair section. This will create a curve. Flip the straightener downwards by 180°. Meanwhile, gently tug on the loose ends of the hair section upwards. This will complete the crimp. If you touch it too soon, you may mess up the crimps before they set. This will help set the crimps and make them last longer." is Go for nude shades if you have a light or medium skin tone. Choose a pink shade for any skin tone. Pick blue for any skin tone.

Heat the onions until they are translucent. Continue to stir the onions so that the heat is distributed equally. You can use sweet white onions as a substitute for the red onions. If you have a gas stove, turn the heat down to medium to mid-low as you stir the onions. Gas stoves heat much quicker than electric stoves. While the onions are frying, prepare a mixture in a bowl. The mixture includes: 20-30 halved baby rose tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 teaspoons Worcester sauce, 3 tablespoons chopped herbs, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and a tad bit of ground pepper.

Context: U-locks are very difficult to open by hammering or using force, but they are weakened and become brittle when cooled by air spray, meaning that they can be smashed open. Buy compressed or canned air at home improvement stores or online. Canned air contains the compressed chemical difluoroethane, which will cool the lock to around -13 degrees F (-25 degrees C). If your U-lock is locked but not connected to anything, breaking it will be easy. If the U-lock is locked around a bicycle or a door handle, it will a little more difficult to open, but it will still be doable. Position the U-lock so that the bar of the U-lock is lying flat on the ground or is against a stable surface like a door or the bar of the bike rack. Hold the can of air spray about a foot away from the keyhole. Then hold down the trigger of the canned air and spray it directly at the keyhole. Spray continuously for about 30 seconds. You will notice the bar becoming white as the chemical reacts with the surface of the U-lock and chills it. Be sure to aim the spray radius at the keyhole, where you will focusing your hammering. After about 30 seconds, the bar of the U-lock will have been chilled and should be brittle enough to break. Use your non-dominant hand to hold the U-lock by its loop against the ground or the surface that you positioned it against. Pick up the hammer in your dominant hand and begin to hammer against the keyhole. Keep your fingers away from the place that you are hammering. Also try to keep the U-lock stable and in position as you hammer. Don't be alarmed as you see the white powder on the U-lock come off in a mist as you begin to hammer. Keep hammering against the keyhole area of the U-lock. You may have to hammer for 30 seconds or so until a piece breaks off of the bar, after which breaking it will become much easier. Focus your hammering against the broken area of the lock. More sections will come off, until the bar breaks completely and separates from one or both sides of the U. Be patient, as it may take several minutes of hammering to break the U-lock. Dispose of the remains of the lock when you are finished., Summary: Give him space. Buy him one of his favorite things.

The answer of "Summarize the following The Hail Mary prayer—also called the Angelic Salutation—is a traditional Catholic prayer asking for the intercession of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. In Roman Catholicism, the prayer forms the basis of the Rosary and the Angelus prayers. In the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, a similar prayer is used in formal liturgies, both in Greek and in translations. It is also used by many other groups within the Catholic tradition of Christianity – including Anglicans, Independent Catholics, and Old Catholics. Some Protestant denominations, such as Lutherans, also make use of a form of the prayer. Catholics believe that although Mary was a godly young woman, and greatly blessed to bear the Savior, she was not divine, even though she was sinless. One should not worship her, but one may venerate or pray to her because devotion to Mary is a way to get closer to God. The text of the Hail Mary prayer incorporates two Bible passages: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:28) and “Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb" (Luke 1:42). The third part of the Hail Mary prayer ("Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.) is not directly from the Bible, but it is clearly in agreement with 1 Timothy 2:1-4 ("First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.") The first passage (Luke 1:28) is the Angel Gabriel’s greeting to Mary. He said these words when he came to inform her that she had been chosen to bear the Messiah. The second passage (Luke 1:42) cites the greeting that Mary's cousin Elizabeth gave her when Mary came to visit. Elizabeth was also pregnant at the time – with John the Baptist. The third passage (justified by 1 Timothy 2:1-5) is in agreement with St. Paul's request for us to pray for and with each other." is Consider which religious groups say the Hail Mary. Understand that the prayer is not meant to worship the Virgin Mary. Study the Biblical roots of the Hail Mary. | 1 |

The summary of "The side kick is a great way to burn calories and work up a little sweat and it can be fun too! This is a great kick to add to your kickboxing exercise routine. You can use a punching bag, a partner holding a pad or just shadow kick without anything at all. Your legs should be slightly spread at a bit more than shoulders width with one leg in front and the other in back. Your kicking leg will be in front. Keep your fists up in front of your face. You should practice this with both legs so try it in both directions. After practicing with one leg, switch your stance and practice with the other leg also. Your hands should be in front of your chin and mouth to protect your face. You should be sideways to your target. This bent knee creates the power for your shot so bring it up as high as possible. Straighten your knee directly forward into contact. You should make contact with the blade, or outside edge, of your foot because it will be stronger and safer for your kick. Make sure you are extending straight forward into contact. This means you will have to be turning your body and hips simultaneously. Think of the kick as a stomping motion to give you extra power and strength. Do not lock out your knee, or extend it completely, or else you could hurt yourself. You will want to maintain a slight bend even when making contact. You must rotate your non-kicking foot at the same time to create extra power and strength in your kick. It should end up facing almost completely backwards when you make contact with your target. The non-kicking foot should rotate about 180 degrees so that it faces backwards when you make contact. This rotation is very important so make sure it is moving correctly during your kick. It will feel like you are giving your back to the target because you are rotating your hips into the kick. Bend your knee again after contact to bring your knee back to your chest. Bring your foot down to the ground directly in front of you. Your non-kicking foot will have to rotate back to its original position when landing. You can shuffle back after your foot is on the ground to bring you away from your opponent." is Use the kickboxing side kick for aerobic workouts in kickboxing. Get in your boxing stance. Bring your front knee up to your chest. Straighten your knee. Rotate your non-kicking foot. Bend your knee and land forwards. | 1 |
