Q: Using a soft-bristled toothbrush, brush the speaker ports. This gentle motion should clean grime and gunk off the speakers. You could dip the very tips of the toothbrush bristles in rubbing alcohol for added effect. Don't dip the whole brush in. Painter's tape is a blue tape used when painting walls. It has a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which makes it perfect for cleaning iPhone speakers. Tear a short piece off and roll it into a cylinder with the sticky side facing out. The cylinder should have a diameter about the width of your index finger. Slip the tape over your index finger, then press it onto your iPhone speaker. The tape should pick up all the grime and bits that have accumulated in the speakers. Check the surface of the tape after each application. If you see lint and grime stuck to it, remove and discard the used tape, roll another small cylinder, and repeat. Use compressed air to blow lint and dust out of your speakers. Compressed air is canned oxygen, and is often used to clean computers and electronics. To get started, lay your phone flat with the screen down. Read the directions on the can before using it. Always use canned air as directed. Aim the canned air nozzle at the speaker from whatever distance the can's directions suggest. Squeeze the can's handle briefly, then release.
A: Scrub the speakers. Use painter's tape. Blow debris out of the speaker.

Q: If you're writing a business apology, your sign-off should be a little more formal. You can use "Best," or "Sincerely," as a sign-off before you sign the letter. In your last paragraph, list the steps you're taking to prevent the same mistakes from occurring again. Be as specific as possible in describing what you've done and how it will prevent a reoccurrence. For example, you can say "I've taken several steps to avoid missing project deadlines in the future. I have set up an online calendar, with reminders one week, one day, and 8 hours before the deadlines. I have also created more detailed to-do lists so each step of each project gets finished in a timely manner."
A: Use an appropriate signature. Emphasize that this issue won't reoccur.

Q: Keep them in a single layer, and do not let the leaves overlap. By keeping the mint in a single layer, you can dry the leaves out faster and more evenly than you would be able to do if you piled the leaves inside a microwave-safe bowl. Place the leaves in the microwave and cook them 10 seconds at a time, checking frequently to see if they have begun curling and becoming crispy. The mint should be adequately dry in 15 to 45 seconds. Ideally, the leaves will stay green. You can use the leaves after they brown, but green leaves will have more flavor and a better aroma. If you place a pile of mint leaves in a dish instead of keeping them to a single layer on a microwave-safe plate, you will need to stir the leaves every 30 seconds and microwave them for a total of 1 to 3 minutes. This tactic is not ideal, however, and may result in unevenly dried mint.
A: Spread the mint leaves out on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave in 10-second intervals.

Q: Your body just went through a lot of changes during and immediately following pregnancy. These physical, mental, and emotional changes can all cause strain. Your body is recovering from carrying a heavy growing fetus and your digestive system is recovering from the physical changes of pregnancy. These can increase the chance of constipation which aggravates hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids after pregnancy and delivery are commonly caused by pushing during labor. You may notice blood on the toilet paper or in the toilet after having a bowel movement. This is the most common symptom. Hemorrhoids can also be itchy and painful. You may feel an external hemorrhoid when cleaning yourself. It will be a tender swelling around the anal opening. You won't usually feel internal hemorrhoids, but they can bulge through the anal opening. If your hemorrhoid is larger than the size of a quarter, seek medical attention as this could signal a more serious condition. A physician can diagnose internal or external hemorrhoids by performing a rectal exam. If rectal bleeding is not caused by a hemorrhoid, your doctor will probably recommend a more extensive test called a sigmoidoscopy or a colonoscopy because one of the symptoms of colon cancer is rectal bleeding. Stand with your back facing a large floor length or bathroom mirror. Bend over slightly while turning your head to face the mirror. Look closely at your anus to see if there are any lumps or if there's a swollen mass. These may be hemorrhoids. Alternatively, you can sit with your legs open and use a lighted mirror to look for hemorrhoids. The lumps or mass may be the same color as your skin tone or they might appear darker red. If you're using home treatments, hemorrhoids will usually resolve within a week or two. If they don't, call your doctor or midwife. Occasionally for external hemorrhoids and more often for internal hemorrhoids, you may still need medical intervention. The most common medical treatments are: Ligation: tying a rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off blood flow Injection of a chemical solution: to shrink the hemorrhoid Cauterization: burning the hemorrhoid Hemorrhoidectomy: surgical removal of the hemorrhoid
A:
Be prepared for hemorrhoids after pregnancy. Recognize external hemorrhoids. Look for external hemorrhoids. Know when to get medical attention.
