user: Article: Talk to your professor after class or meet them at office hours. Meeting in person can allow you some time to talk to the professor outside of just saying thank you if you wish. It can also help the professor pair your name and face together.  If you want to create or maintain a professional relationship with your professor, you may want to thank them in person so that they get to know you better. Get right to the point and say “thank you” up front. This will make the intentions of the visit clear and direct. That way, your professor won’t be left wondering why you made contact with them. For example, say, “I wanted to express my gratitude for your class” or “Thank you for writing a letter of recommendation for me.” If there was something that really stood out to you about this professor or class, let them know. For example, mention a lecture you enjoyed, a field trip that taught you something, or an exchange that stuck with you. Mentioning something specific will show that you put thought into your thank you.   For example, say, “I’ll never forget the first lecture you gave. I knew I would learn a lot from this class because you went so in-depth on the very first day.” Now is not the time to be overly casual with your professor or to try to become friends with them. Be polite and professional. Also, don’t use your thank you as a way make a demand or be rude to your professor about something else.

Problem: Article: Use the cheese or bamboo mats, the cookie sheet, and the cheese molds. Set up a station for yourself to get ready to fill the molds. The cookie sheet helps keep moisture from spreading to any surfaces, and it also keeps the cheese safe from any odd bacteria that might be on the counter. Use your disinfected spoon or your clean hands, and gently transfer curd from the colander to the cheese mold. Fill it up as high as you can.  If the mold fills before you’re out of curds, let the mold sit for 10 minutes to let extra moisture come out, and then continue filling it. Try to avoid pressing down on the curds. Just let them settle organically. Both ends of the mold will be covered with a cloth. Make sure to set the mold back down over the cookie tray each time to you flip it. This process helps the curd continue losing moisture so it can start to form in the right shape. Drain the tray, and then set the cheese mold, still sandwiched between two mats, back onto it. You can leave it for longer than the 8 hours, but at a minimum, that’s how much time it’ll need. If you have cats or other animals that might get onto the counters, set up a barricade so they can’t get into the kitchen overnight.
Summary: Put the mat on your tray and put the cheese mold on top of that. Fill the cheese mold with the drained curds. Cover the mold and flip it every 15 minutes for 2 hours. Let the mold drain for 8 hours or overnight.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you’ve already played a few games with the lacrosse head, it’s likely covered in grass or dirt stains. You should clean these off before dyeing the head, or the dye job will turn out poorly. Fill your sink up with warm water and 1-2 squirts of dish soap. Scrub the head with a sponge until all of the grass marks and dirt stains have come off. If you’re using a clean, new lacrosse head, you won’t need to wash it before dyeing. Pick up a couple colors that complement one another or that match your team’s colors. For example, you could dye the head red and blue, black and yellow, or red and green. You’ll be able to find lacrosse head dye at most large athletic-supply stores. If they’re sold out, you may be able to find the dye at a lacrosse specialty store if there’s one in your area. If this is your first time dyeing a lacrosse head, stick with 1 color until you’ve gotten some dyeing experience. Untie the small knots that hold the string netting to the lacrosse head and set the string net aside. This will keep the string itself from being dyed when you color the head. Set the string aside for now. Some people may want to dye the pocket of their lacrosse head, in which case you can leave the string in! But, this approach is pretty uncommon. Tear off a few strips of duct tape and wrap them around any spots on the plastic lacrosse head that you’d like to remain uncolored. Remember that the spots you’re about to tape are going to remain white when the stick is complete. You can get as creative with this as you like! For example, try cutting star or triangle shapes out of the duct tape and spacing them out along the lacrosse head to give it a creative pattern.  If you want the numbers or your team name on the lacrosse head to remain undyed, cover them with tape. Or, if you want to dye the head in a striped pattern, alternate taped and non-taped sections along the length of the head. On the other hand, if you’d like to dye the entire lacrosse head 1 color—whether or not you’re using the marbling technique—you can skip using tape.

SUMMARY: Scrub a used lacrosse head with a sponge and dish soap. Select 1-2 colors of dye to color the lacrosse head. Remove the string from the lacrosse head. Place duct tape over parts of the head you want to remain uncolored.

Stretching your legs and feet will reduce the muscles stress and tightness that overpronation causes. Incorporate stretches into your daily routine, trying exercises like:  Rolling a golf ball on the underside of your foot. Stand with one foot on the ball at a time and move your foot over it, pulling your toes towards your shins. Do this for 30 seconds-1 minute to massage the tissue in your foot. Placing your foot in as neutral a position as you can, then pushing your big toe down without collapsing at the foot or ankle. This will help to strengthen your toe and the muscles under your foot. A standing calf stretch. Place one foot behind you and push the heel towards the ground, then try to pull your foot and toes towards your shin. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds on each leg. Stand with your legs together. Turn your feet so that your toes point outward, keeping your heels touching. Slowly lower yourself down, bending at your knees. Keep your heels pressed against the floor as you lower yourself and return to your original position.  Perform the stretch 10 times a day, using slow movements. Don’t push yourself to go too far down. Stop when you start to feel discomfort. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, using a wall or chair for support. Slowly roll your weight out to the edge of your feet, then roll your weight back to the center of your foot. Keep your movements slow to avoid rolling your ankle.  Repeat the stretch 10 times each day. You can also strengthen your foot muscles through toe curls and heel raises, which improve your foot support, stability, and shock absorption. Sit in a chair with your legs extended out in front of you. Flex your feet, then bend forward at your waist, reaching toward your toes. Hold the stretch for 1-2 seconds, then release.  Do 10 repetitions of the stretch daily. Calf stretches can help relieve the flattening of your foot because they help loosen your achilles tendon. A tight achilles tendon can worsen flat feet.
