Q: Don't wait for your friend to reach out. If you want to reconnect, make yourself available, either by reaching out or by inviting your friend to meet with you. A phone call or an email are quick, easy, and respectful ways to convey your interest to speak or spend time together. However, you should consider your options regarding how to reach out. Depending on the degree to which you've grown apart, there are different recommended routes to take. The depth of your previous friendship, and the context in which you drifted apart are important factors when considering how you should approach an old friend. If you simply haven't seen or spoken with someone in a while, reach out casually. A message on an online media platform that you both use may work. An email is better because it is a more reliable and secure method of communication. People also tend to check their email more frequently. Consider sending a letter. If you had gone through a conflict with your friend, be wary of rekindling old animosities. Take care not to make them feel as though they are under pressure to respond. Don't just call someone you had a falling out with; this may make them feel uncomfortable or may even upset them. A note or card gives them time to think and contemplate a response. Do more than just text. While texting is great way to convey information of send a quick hello, it is not a productive method to rekindle a relationship. If you feel your relationship is casual and comfortable enough to contact a friend via text but you haven't spoken in a while, give them a call. The more personal approach will indicate your interest to truly reconnect. Don't feel as though your friendship has ended or become less important. Friendships often change when people get married, move, or have kids. If you're missing an old friend, there's a good chance your friend misses you as well. It is always appropriate to try to reconnect. Recognize the importance of circumstances. If you had drifted apart because your friend went through a major life change, and you recently went through a similar life change, you may soon find you have even more in common now than ever before! Don't wait any longer! The more time you spend missing your friend without acting on it, the further you may drift apart. Know that it's okay if you haven't spoken with someone in a while. You may actually make their day by letting them know you've been thinking about them and would like to reconnect. If your friend doesn't respond, or does so hesitantly, you can try to convey your hopes to reconnect again. Don't rush though. Allow time in between contact. If they simply don't respond, accept the fact that they may not be ready or willing to reconnect for the foreseeable future.
A: Take the first step. Reach out in the right way. Don't worry about how long it's been. Be persistent, but not over-eager.

Q: Change the position that you sit in throughout the day. Stand up once or twice every hour to get a drink, get fresh air, or do tasks standing up, giving your back muscles time to relax. This can keep you from becoming stiff or tense. Take frequent short breaks rather than fewer longer ones, as this is better for your back. In general, the best way to prevent and recover from back pain is to stay active. If your back hurts, but you are able to go about your daily activities, resist the urge to stay in bed or on the couch. Maintain mobility, keep the muscles in use, and, if need be, take over the counter pain medication. Long-term rest will actually set you back, weakening your back muscles and making it harder to resume your normal tasks. Be sure to include physical activity in your routine, as well. One of the biggest things you can do to prevent back pain is to keep your back and its muscles strong through regular exercise. Most governments recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, spread throughout the week, along with strength training twice a week. Some exercises will specifically strengthen your back, specifically swimming, walking, and stretches that target your core muscles. Believe it or not, many back problems start with the feet and our shoes, because they affect the way that we walk. They are like the "foundation" of a building, our body. Bad shoes, like high-heels, can cause or exacerbate lower back pain, for example. Make sure that your shoes give your feet and back ample support, particularly if your job requires you to be on your feet for much of the day. Wear shoes that have rigid heels and mid-soles, like sneakers. Insoles and shoe inserts are also helpful. Sleep will always help in the healing process. It is the same for your back issues, particularly if you use a supportive mattress. Some clinical data suggests that a medium-firm mattress not a hard mattress provides more back relief. Find a mattress that supports the natural curves of your spine, as well. This should help you also to avoid soreness in the morning. Another suggestion is to put a pillow under your knees. Raising your knees slightly eases pressure on your back while you sleep, in fact it as much as halves it.
A: Take regular breaks. Stay active. Wear comfortable shoes. Get a good night's rest.

Q: The Menu button looks like three stacked dots. You can search by Skype name, profile name, email address, or phone number. It's best to search for other users by their Skype name or email address. If you search by a person's actual name, there will likely be multiple matching results. This will open a text chat with the person. Depending on the other person's privacy settings, you may not be able to send them messages until they've been added to your contacts list. The other person will need to approve before they are added to your list.
A: Tap the "Menu" button and then "Add people". Search for the person you want to add. Tap the person you want to add in the list of search results. Tap "Add to contacts" to add the person to your contacts list.

Q: Tap the Instagram app icon, which resembles a multicolored camera front. This will open your Instagram feed if you're logged into your account. If you aren't logged into Instagram, tap the Log in link if necessary, then enter your username/email address/phone number and password. It's in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You'll find this tab at the top of the screen. It will have the number of current followers above it. For example, if you have 100 followers, you'd tap 100 followers here. Scroll through your list of followers and look for missing names. If you don't see a particular person whom you know was following you, they unfollowed you. This is difficult to manage if you recently lost a large number of followers, but you should be able to get an idea of the people who stopped following you if they're people you also follow or interact with. The user in question may have deleted their Instagram account instead. You can check to see whether or not they still have an account by tapping the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the screen and then searching for their name.
A:
Open Instagram. Tap the "Profile" icon. Tap followers. Look for absent followers.
