Q: When you strain a muscle, stop doing the activity that caused it to be strained. Pulled muscles are actually rips in muscle fibers, and further exertion could cause the tear to grow larger and lead to a serious injury. Let the amount of pain you feel be your guide. If a pulled muscle occurs while you're running or playing a sport, and you have to stop and catch your breath due to the severe pain, the best thing to do is sit the rest of the game out. Take a few days to recover from the pulled muscle before resuming the activity that caused it. Icing the area reduces swelling and helps ease the pain. Fill a large food storage bag with ice cubes. Wrap it in a thin towel, to protect your skin from getting damaged by direct ice. Hold the ice pack to your sore area for 20 minutes at a time 4 to 8 times a day until the swelling has gone down. A bag of frozen peas or another vegetable also works well as an ice pack. Avoid using heat, which won't reduce inflammation caused by a pulled muscle. Wrapping the site of the pulled muscle can reduce inflammation and provide support to prevent further injury. Use an ace bandage to loosely wrap your arm or leg. Don't wrap the area too tightly, or you might inhibit circulation. If you don't have an ace bandage, cut an old pillowcase into one long strip and use it to compress the area. Raising the inflamed area can help the swelling go down and provide it with the proper rest it needs to heal. If you pulled a muscle in your leg, rest it on an ottoman or chair while you're sitting. If you pulled a muscle in your arm, you can elevate it using a sling. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin or ibuprofen reduce pain and help you move around more easily with a pulled muscle. Be sure to take no more than the recommended dosage, and never give aspirin to children.
A: Rest the muscle. Ice the muscle. Compress the area. Elevate the muscle. Take a painkiller.

Q: Your first draft of your report should be just that: a first draft. You should expect to revise and rewrite your report several times before submitting it to your teacher for a grade or to your boss for evaluation. Leaving enough time to make the appropriate and necessary edits and changes is important if you want to write a particularly great report. You should do a thorough review of your report for both spelling and grammar. Remember that your computer's spell check will not catch every error. For example, you may mix up the use of the word "there" with "their." This will not be caught by a spell-checker, so do not depend on this function alone. Paying attention to the small details of your report (such as spelling and grammar) will improve the overall quality of your report. Make sure that you have complied with any specific requirements in your assignment or project description. You may need a title page, a certain type or size of font, or margins of a particular size. Revision should be more than just proofreading; instead, revision should be a critical examination of your work. Ultimately, you will want to look for errors that detract from the overall quality of your report, and this may mean deleting or rewriting large portions of your report. Ask yourself: Does my report fulfill its goal? If not, you may need to consider significant revisions. If possible, have a trusted friend, peer, or colleague read your report. In addition to proofreading for spelling and/or grammar errors, he or she may be able to provide critical and productive feedback. This can help your report go from good to great.
A: Budget the time necessary to revise or rewrite your report. Check spelling and grammar. Check your formatting. Critically examine your work. Have your report reviewed.

Q: Maybe you don't get to spend as much time painting as you'd like to, or maybe you enjoy gardening but don't get out in the backyard very much. Take some time on your pampering day to enjoy doing a hobby you love. Not only will it make you happier, it can help you de-stress from the week. If you love yoga, take a few minutes during your day to do some stretching. It will help you relax and feel rejuvenated. Spend some time in your backyard. Sunlight can help reset your body's schedule, helping you feel more relaxed the rest of the week. Plus, just being outside in nature can help you relax. Flowers can help you relax and feel pampered, but you don't have to wait for someone to send them to you. Set up some to be delivered on your pampering day. For a cheaper method, pick some up at a grocery store the day before. Most cities have delivery services now that deliver food from even high-end places. Look at services available in your city, such as GrubHub or Postmates, to see what restaurants they deliver from. Pick one of your favorites to pamper yourself. Let's face it, sometimes you just don't get to spend enough time with your family, and pampering yourself can mean focusing solely on being with the ones you love. If that's the case, break out the family games, movies, and coloring books, and enjoy some time at home with your family. Maybe instead of your whole family, you want to spend time with just your significant other. If that's true for you, try taking a bath together, reading to each other, or just curling up on the couch together to watch a movie.
A: Work on something you love. Try some yoga. Get some sunlight. Send yourself some flowers. Order food from a fancy restaurant. Enjoy some time with your family. Pamper yourself with your partner.

Q: Before you begin cleaning a sticky keyboard you will need to shut down your computer. Once your computer is shut down, make sure its power sources are disconnected. For example, if your desktop is plugged into an outlet, you will need to unplug it. If you are using a desktop computer you might have a keyboard that connects to the computer through a USB or PS/2 port. If this is the case, you will need to unplug the keyboard from the USB or PS/2 port prior to cleaning. Tilt the keyboard upside down. Use your hands to gently shake out any loose debris. You should not attempt to shake loose debris from a laptop keyboard. The shaking could potentially damage the computer. If you have a laptop computer, or if there is residual debris in a standard keyboard that cannot be removed by shaking, you should use a can of compressed air. Spray the compressed air in between the keys and in all the keyboard's crevices to remove loose debris.
A:
Turn your computer off. Unplug the keyboard from the computer. Shake out the loose debris. Use compressed air to remove loose debris.
