Q: Wash 4 oranges and use a sharp knife to cut each orange into four pieces or wedges. If you're concerned about consuming pesticides, use organic oranges in this recipe. Pull the fruit away from the peels. Take a spoon and scrape away as much of the white pith as you can. Use a knife to cut the peels into long, narrow strips. They should be about 14 inch (0.6cm) (6 mm) wide. You can eat the fruit or save it to use in another recipe. Place the strips of orange peel into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them. Turn the heat on to high and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, you can turn off the heat and place a colander in the sink. Drain the water through the colander and return the strips to the saucepan. Fill the pot with new water so the orange peel strips are covered. Bring the water to boil and drain it again. Repeat this another time for a total of three times. Drain the strips into the colander. Boiling the strips and draining them three times removes the bitterness from the peel. Place 3 cups (600 g) of sugar into the empty saucepan and pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of water. Stir the mixture and turn the heat to high so it begins to boil. The sugar should dissolve and turn into a syrup. Insert an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the syrup. Once the temperature is at 230 degrees F (110 degrees C), stir in the orange peel strips. Turn the heat down to a gentle bubble and let the strips simmer for about 30 minutes. The strips should become almost clear once they've finished cooking. If you live at a high elevation, you may need a much longer cooking time. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to scoop the orange peel strips out of the saucepan. Place them in a single layer on a wire rack and let them cool for 4 to 5 hours. They should completely dry out. For an extra crunch, you can roll the strips in some granulated sugar before you dry them. Eat the strips or garnish desserts with them as soon as they're dried. You can store the leftover candied orange strips in an airtight container for up to 3 months. You can also dip the candied orange strips in melted chocolate. Let the chocolate harden and eat the strips or store them in the refrigerator.
A: Wash and cut the oranges. Peel and cut the peels into strips. Boil and drain the strips. Boil and drain the strips two more times. Create a simple syrup. Add the strips and simmer them for 30 minutes. Dry the strips for 4 to 5 hours. Use or store the candied orange strips.

Q: Some Ethernet cables have an outer coating that protects it from sun exposure and UV damage. Make sure the cable you choose is labeled "UV-resistant," especially if you'll be running it outdoors instead of underground. Most UV-resistant coatings are also waterproof. Most Ethernet cables made with PVC piping are not UV-resistant. Before buying a PVC cable, make sure it is UV-resistant if you plan on using it in direct sunlight. You can also choose a cable made of polyethylene instead, which is naturally UV-resistant. Some Ethernet cables come filled with a waterproof gel that keeps the internal wires coated and protected from water that might seep in. Pick a gel-filled cable if you plan to run it near water or in wet weather. Gel-filled cords are also ideal for installing underground cables. To keep your cable away from water sources or, if desired, direct sunlight, use cable straps to anchor it away. Drill 2 holes on either side of the cable and screw in the cable strap to safely and effectively secure it to a building or other stable structure. You can buy cable straps online or from most hardware stores.
A: Choose an outdoor cable with a UV-resistant coating. Avoid PVC piping without a UV coating. Choose a gel-filled cable for added waterproofing protection. Hold your Ethernet cord in place with cable straps.

Q: Nothing says you're interested in her more than taking the time to make her something. It can be as simple as flowers to as fancy as a DIY project. After all it's the thought and the surprise that count. Here are some ideas to get you started: Pick some wildflowers and put them in a vase. Make a braided bracelet out of yarn or beads. Bake her some cookies or brownies. Make sure she's not allergic to anything first! Show her that you are getting to know the real girl, and her likes and dislikes. Also, pay attention when she tells a story. It says something about her, and she'll be touched if you remember it later. For example, if she talks about a particular band that you've never heard, find it and listen to it. She will probably be impressed that you went to the trouble of listening to it. Bring her things she mentions. If she said she likes coffee, bring her coffee one day. It doesn't have to be big, but it should be thoughtful. She should know that you've been thinking about her. It should also show that you know the kinds of things she likes and likes to do. In other words, it should be thoughtful. If she collects things, like stickers, pins, pens, or hair bows, bring her a new one that you know she'll like. If she likes to read, pick a used book to give to her. You could also bring her a piece of chocolate or her favorite soda. It doesn't have to be fancy, just something that will be new and surprising and bring a smile to her face. Think about the kinds of activities she likes, and come up with a plan. In fact, you could even ask some questions to figure out what she likes, without giving away the surprise, such as, "So what are some of your favorite restaurants in town? I love Betty's Burgers." Visit a free art gallery, or go have coffee and dessert at a coffee shop. Take a walk by the lake to feed the ducks. Join a free dancing lesson, or go browse the library together.
A: Make her something. Show you're listening. Give her a gift. Take her on a surprise outing.

Q: . Active listening is a style of listening in which the listener demonstrates their attentiveness to the speaker. There are many ways you can show attentiveness without speaking. Maintaining eye contact is a common way of showing that you are listening. Nodding, smiling, and exhibiting a relaxed posture also suggest that you are listening attentively. Active listeners often use short phrases to show that they understand and are paying attention. Even if you aren't actually interested in the topic, these cues show you are listening politely. Common phrases of encouragement include "Mmm hmm," "I see," "Right," and "Uh-huh." You can show someone you understand and are listening by repeating back to him or her what's been said, or paraphrasing what he or she has just told you. If you don't actually understand what you've just been told, you can also ask for clarification. This also sends the message that you are listening. When the opportunity presents itself, you will probably wish to either end the conversation or change the subject if you aren't actually interested in the topic. Offer a reason for ending the conversation, such as a task you need to resume or a person you need to find If this is your first time talking to someone, you can also end a conversation with "It was nice meeting you." You can also tell the person that you really want to hear more about the topic of conversation and you'll call them tomorrow. Then follow through on your promise so that they know that you care.
A:
Use non-verbal communication. Use encouraging words to show understanding. Repeat or paraphrase to show understanding. Politely end the conversation.
