Problem: Article: Sometimes a device simply won't connect to a wireless router because of an improper start-up sequence. Restarting your device may fix this problem. If your wireless router kicked your device off of the network, it may be because of a few different reasons: The wireless Internet's password was changed - Select the wireless network and enter the updated password. The device is not up to date - Update your device to the minimum required version. The router was reset - Use the router's stock password to connect. The stock password (also known as the "security/network key") is usually on the back or bottom of the router. Causing your computer or phone to "Forget" the Wi-Fi network's settings will clear up any connection conflicts. To do so: iPhone - Open Settings, tap Wi-Fi, tap a network, and tap Forget This Network at the top of the page. Android - Open Settings, tap Connections (Samsung devices), tap Wi-Fi, tap a network, and tap Forget. Windows - Open Settings, click Network & Internet, click Wi-Fi, click Manage known networks, click a network name, and click Forget. Mac - Click the Wi-Fi symbol, click Open Network Preferences, click the Wi-Fi tab, click Advanced, click a network's name, and click -. You can do this by finding the "Reset" button, which is usually a tiny hole on the back of the router, and pressing it with a bent paperclip for ten seconds. Once you reset your router, you'll be able to reconnect using the router's stock password and network name. If you can connect to a coffee shop's or school's Wi-Fi but can't connect to your own, the problem is likely with your router or connection, not your device. If your router or connection is the problem, you'll need to call and request a network test or a replacement router and modem (if you rent equipment from your ISP).
Summary: Restart your devices. Determine why your device won't automatically connect. "Forget" the connection on your device. Reset the router to factory settings. Try connecting to a different network. Call your service provider's Customer Support hotline.

Problem: Article: Foundation and concealer both come in a variety of formulas, and some work better than others depending on the type of skin that you have. Oil-free powders and liquids with a matte finish work well for oily and combination skin, while moisturizing liquid and cream foundations with a dewy finish are best for dry skin. If you have normal skin, you can use any formula. If you have very sensitive skin, mineral foundations, which contain natural ingredients, are usually your best option. They usually come in powder formulas, but you can find liquid versions as well. Finding a color match isn't just about choosing a foundation and concealer that are as light or dark as your skin; it's also important to get the undertone right. You can either be cool, warm, or neutral. You're cool-toned if your veins are blue and burn easily in the sun, warm-toned if your veins are green and you tan easily, and you're neutral if you have an equal number of blue and green veins. When you're choosing a concealer shade to cover your freckles, match it the skin surrounding the freckles, not the freckles themselves. You'll wind up drawing more attention to the freckles if you use a concealer that's darker than your skin. If you're having trouble finding the right shade to match your skin tone, ask one of the makeup artists or sales assistants at the store to help. They're usually trained to pick out the right shades, so they can point you in the right direction. You may assume that a full coverage foundation is necessary to cover your freckles, but that's not always true. If the rest of your skin is relatively clear, you may prefer a light foundation or even a tinted moisturizer or BB cream to just even out your complexion and then follow up with a concealer over the freckles. If you have other discolorations on your face that you want to hide, a medium or full coverage foundation may be a better option. Even if you think you've got the formula and color right for your foundation and concealer, you should test it out on your skin to make sure that they really work with your complexion. Department store makeup counters and specialty cosmetics stores, such as Sephora or Ulta, usually have testers of the foundations available, so you can see if it works for you. When you're testing a foundation or concealer, it's best to apply it along your jawline so you can see how it looks against the color of your neck, which is usually lighter than your face. You don't want to get a harsh line between your face and neck that lets everyone know you're wearing makeup. Make sure to check out the makeup that you're testing in natural light. Harsh, fluorescent store lighting can cause shadows that make it difficult to tell if a shade really blends into your skin tone. Even if you don't plan to purchase foundation and concealer at a department or specialty store, it's a good idea to visit a counter to talk to one of the makeup artists. They can suggest shades that work for you, so when you head to the drugstore, you'll have a better idea of what foundation and concealer shades you should be considering. Don't be afraid to ask a sales assistant or makeup artist for a sample of a foundation or concealer before you purchase it. Not only can you check the shade out in different types of light to see if it really flatters you, you can wear the products a few times and make sure that they don't irritate your skin.
Summary: Consider your skin type. Consider your skin tone. Consider coverage. Test some samples.

Problem: Article: Be bold and come out with your request. Even if they've had it a long time, just assume they have intended to return it, and say, "I'd like to get my copy of X-Men back when we meet next." With that direct approach, embarrassment or common courtesy will likely cause them to return your item. By inquiring about the item you'll be less confrontational. It suggests uncertainty, and allows your friend to be confident in their reply, as if they were the one who decided to return the item. Try a few of the following approaches: "Are you done with my copy of Twilight? I'd like to have it back when you're done." "Hey, I'm looking for my hat, do you still have it?" "Would you mind giving the video game back to me?" A message allows you to be direct without having to confront your friend. It's easily less personal. There is possible misinterpretation, so be careful with your wording. Facebook allows you a great way to send a message. Send a private message with just enough information to let your friend know you'd like the item back. Shoot your friend a quick email. Nothing extravagant is needed. Just ask for your item back. Text your friend. Ask for the item and include their favorite emoticon to make it less harsh. Whenever you talk to your friend, bring it up. No matter the conversation, steer everything back to the loaned item. Your friend will quickly get the hint.
Summary:
Be forward about asking for it back. Ask a question about it. Send a message regarding the item. Constantly bring it up.
