INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You have to clean your gas or electric burners every now and then. Gas burners can be removed and washed by hand with warm water and soap. If you are lucky to have gas burners that can go into the dishwasher, throw them in there after you scrub off excess food. For electric burners, wipe debris with a moist sponge. The type of grate determines how you wash your burners. If you have an uncoated grate, use a scouring pad to clean the grate. If you have a coated grate, use a soft sponge.

SUMMARY: Wipe the burners.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take your back foot off the board and use the ground as something to push off of. You can go for one big push, or several smaller pushes. Try to keep your body loose as you push off; the stiffer your body is, the harder it will be to keep your balance. If you want to use your front foot to push off, give it a try. Most boarders don't do this it's called "mongo" but it's more important do ride comfortably than do what other people do. After you get the hang of it, practice generating more speed by doing harder kicks. You'll find that, after you've gotten to a certain speed, one good push will keep you going for quite a while. You'll need to practice turning on your board if you want to ride around. Turning is quite easy. All you have to do is put pressure down on one side of the board, leaning in that direction, and you'll turn: Heel edge carving: you move your heels downward and you turn to your inside. Heel edge turns for people who ride regular give you left turns. Toe edge carving: you move your toes downward and you turn to your outside. Toe edge turns for people who ride regular give you right turns. Foot-braking, where you drag one foot on the ground, is probably the most reliable way to stop or slow down: you're creating a lot of friction with your foot, thereby slowing the momentum of the board down. Other ways that you can break include: Carving: snaking down the hill by leaning from side to side pushes on your wheels and will help keep speed down. Air braking: at high speeds, simply standing up and putting your arms out can slow you considerably. If you ever want to go faster than you can run, save yourself some road rash by learning how to slide. In order to slide, you should either buy slide gloves, or attach squares of cutting board (find it in the supermarket) to work gloves. Once you have your gloves, you're ready to go learn to slide! In order to slide: Point your front foot forward while bending your knees; shift your weight to the front. Slide your back foot off your board, flexing your front knee to make contact with the ground. Apply gradual pressure to stop Try not to use your toes or heel to touch the ground; instead, opt for the middle of your sole. It is also very important you don't put weight on your back foot. Doing that will almost ensure you will slip backwards. Try to keep more weight on the foot you have in front, leaning forwards is much safer than leaning back. Start slow, and work your way up. Rome wasn't built in a day. Getting comfortable with a board takes time and the techniques work for almost any shape and size board. Hard wheels (durometer of at least 86a) break traction easier, making learning to slide easier Longboarding is a ton of fun, but pushing it too hard can cause serious injury. You never think it'll be you until it actually happens to you. Be mindful of potentially dangerous situations and prepare accordingly or take yourself out of them before it's too late. That being said, have a blast cruising on your new toy!

SUMMARY: Practice moving yourself forward. Practice turning, or carving, on your longboard. Find a way to stop your skateboard or to slow down. Practice sliding after you've mastered these concepts. Save yourself some road rash and learn to slide with gloves before you get going really fast. Don't worry if your board doesn't look like the one in the videos. Have fun but be careful.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your partner or friend has intermittent issues with phone checking, agree ahead of time not to use your phones for a lunch or date you've agreed to. This sets up clear expectations about what kind of time you want to have together. It's important that you, too, adhere to any requests you make with regards to electronics, so your companion feels equally respected. To a friend, you might say, "I've really been looking forward to hearing about your trip. Can we put our phones away while we catch up? I'd love to see your photos once we're finished with our lunch." If your partner or friend has a consistent phone issue, casually keep track of their usage patterns over a given week. Note the time of day, day of the week, and the type of activity or communication that distracts your partner. Find a good time to let your companion know what you've observed. Suggest that you'd like to set some boundaries for phone use in your relationship because the current arrangement is not working for you. You might say to a boyfriend, "I love hanging out with you, but your phone usage when we're together has really become a problem for me. I'd love to continue seeing you, but only if we don't use our phones when we're on dates. If that's not possible, I'll have to move on." To a friend, you might say, "I love running together, but it's really distracting to my training when you're texting on the phone. I'd love to continue our regimen, but only if we agree not to use our phones while we work out. If that doesn't work, I'll have to train with Sue from now on." If a good friend or spouse exhibits troubling symptoms with their phone use, it may be helpful to consult a professional therapist. Symptoms to look for include excessive phone use that has caused them to jeopardize their job or relationship; withdrawal symptoms when they cannot use their phone; or persistent failed attempts to use their cellphone less often. A therapist can help you sort out phone use in your relationship or provide support to your companion who is struggling with an addiction to their phone.

SUMMARY: Agree to leave your phones out of reach for an activity or meal. Keep track of patterns to address recurrent issues. Get help if the issue is constant.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Keep taking turns in a circle until you remove every Funatomy piece from Cavity Sam. If your group is having trouble with a particular last piece, try making the time limit a little longer or add money to the reward. The winner is not necessarily the person who performed the most surgeries, but the one who earned the most throughout the game. If two players have earned the same amount, you can declare a tie, recount, or have a rematch to determine the overall champion. When you're playing on your own, you may not be able to determine a winner but you can always improve your personal best. Time yourself while playing the game and see if you can make your fastest time yet. If you finished in 15 minutes your first time, for example, try going for 12 or even 10 minutes next time! Anchor the tweezers into the board by pressing down on their front and sliding them into the tweezer compartment. Place all of the Funatomy pieces in the separate compartment underneath the game board. If you lose a board game piece and need a replacement, try contacting Hasbro for assistance: https://www.hasbro.com/en-us/customer-service/replacement-parts
