Problem: Article: Ankle pain often goes away by using the RICE treatment. RICERest, Ice, Compression, and Elevationcan relieve your pain and may prevent other issues. Use RICE for immediate self-care of ankle pain. Let your leg rest completely or do lower-impact activities. Immobility and light activities such as swimming may help relieve your ankle pain and promote healing. Switch to lower-impact sports if you do high-impact activities like running. Try an exercise bike or swimming to stay active while resting your leg. You can modify both activities to avoid using your hurt ankle. Consider giving your ankle a few days of complete rest. Use a cane or crutches if necessary. Move your ankle gently after a few days of full rest to help prevent stiffness. Apply an ice pack to your ankle. This minimizes swelling and can help relieve pain. Put ice on your ankle for 20 minutes at a time three to five times a day. Use a commercial ice pack or make your own with a bag of frozen vegetables or fruit. You can also freeze a plastic foam cup of water and then gently massage your ankle with it. Placing your ankle in slush bath can also help. Make a slush bath by mixing ice and water in a bathtub. Soak your ankle for up to 20 minutes. Wait 90 minutes between icing sessions. Take the ice off of your leg if it gets too cold. Put a towel between the ice pack and your skin to help prevent frostbite. Wrap your ankle with an elastic bandage to compress your ankle. This can reduce swelling, relieve pain, and preserve mobility in your ankle joint. Wrap your ankle beginning with the part farthest from your heart. Make sure you don't wrap too tightly. If your toes turn blue or go numb, pain increases, or you see swelling below the wrapped area, loosen the wrap. Use compression you don't see any more swelling. Raise your ankle above heart level. Elevation can reduce swelling and may also relieve your pain. Prop up your ankle with a stack of pillows or another structure that will support it. Keep your ankle up as much as you can. It's important to keep it elevated at night if you can.
Summary: Follow the RICE principle. Rest your ankle and leg. Ice your ankle. Compress your ankle. Elevate your ankle.

Problem: Article: It's important to decide how you want your blog to appear, because in part this will determine how your blog is consumed. You might want a more visually-oriented blog, posting screenshots of scoreboards or photos from a game, for example. Or you might want a blog that lets you write long, detailed reports on game statistics, player performance, or predictions for the season. How you envision your blog appearing and being used may affect your choice of platform. A primarily visual blog can be built for free using a site like Tumblr. Tumblr is widely used as a form of social media across all demographics, has mobile compatibility, and uses tags that can help drive traffic to your blog. A platform like Medium might be more compatible to a longer, text-driven blog. Platforms like Typepad and WordPress can be curated to either a visual or text-driven blog. It may seem like an obvious choice, and for cash-strapped bloggers it may be a necessity to choose a free service. But the trade-off is that a paid service, which typically charges a monthly fee of $8.00 or more, allows you total control over the design and layout of your blog, and may offer technical support and search-engine optimization for your blog. There's no clear-cut answer to this choice, but some factors to consider as you choose between free or paid services include: how important design and layout are to you how often you will write for your blog how big an audience you hope to reach This is another choice that may seem obvious, but owning your site outright (called a self-hosted blog) or using an existing blogging platform both have their advantages and disadvantages. Owning your own self-hosted blog requires you to pay for a registered domain name, which can cost anywhere from $7 to $15 annually. The advantage to a self-hosted blog is that you have full ownership of your site's content, and you can sell ads on your blog and make money. The downside to a self-hosted blog is that it requires maintenance and some extra time and effort. You'll need to update the software for your blog's platform when new updates are released, whereas if you were using an existing blog platform the site would be automatically updated by the platform's server. If you're just getting started in blogging and aren't sure whether it's something you'll want to continue longterm, you may want to opt for a free platform on an existing server that won't require you to do anything other than post updates from time to time. Consider whether you hope to make money off your blog Consider how important content ownership is to you Consider whether you're willing and able to regularly check for updates and maintain your site's platform
Summary: Decide how you want your blog to look. Choose between free or paid services. Determine if you want ownership.

Problem: Article: Speak can be a fun command to teach any dog. If you want your Manchester Terrier to learn to speak, begin by finding something that causes your dog to bark. This may be a toy, a treat, or a particular noise. During training sessions, wave the object around or make the noise until your dog barks. Praise your dog for barking and give your dog a treat. Once your dog consistently barks in response to a certain stimuli, begin incorporating a command or hand gesture. For example, snap your fingers to get your dog to speak. Keep training each day, offering rewards each time your dog completes the behavior. Gradually phase out the object or noise you use and use only your command or gesture. Eventually, your Manchester Terrier should learn to speak on command. Roll over is taught in increments. To teach roll over, start by commanding your dog to lie down. Then, kneel down beside your dog and hold a treat near its nose. Gently press your dog's shoulder to get it to lie on its side. Use the treat to hold your dog's attention. Praise and reward your dog each time it moves on its side. From there, move your hand from your dog's shoulder to its backbone. While you do this, move the treat over slightly. Your dog should roll on its back to get closer to the treat. Keep moving the treat until the dog has completely rolled over. Say the command "Roll over" and reward your dog. Keep up this routine every day in brief sessions. Eventually, your dog should start going through the motions on its own. You will be able to reduce touching your dog during the trick and will not have to use a treat as lure. To teach shake, start by holding your hand in front of your dog while its sitting with your palm up. If you hold out your hand long enough, your dog may eventually sniff or lick your hand on its own. This can lead to pawing Once your dog paws your hand, say "Shake" and reward your dog with a treat and praise. Repeat this process until your dog lifts its hand naturally. If you do short training sessions like this each day, your dog will eventually learn to shake on command. Some dogs will not paw at their owners hands naturally. If your dog does not paw on its own, gently tap your dog's paw until it places its paw in your hand. To begin, command your dog to "sit." From there, hold a treat over your dog's head to get it to stand. Say "Beg" or "Sit up" while your dog does this. If your dog jumps to grab the treat, say "No," and then have your dog return to the sitting position. Repeat training sessions each day. Give your dog a treat as soon as it's standing on its hind legs. Say your command while your dog is standing. With daily training sessions, your dog will eventually learn to beg on cue.
Summary:
Teach speak. Have your dog learn to roll over. Command your dog to shake hands. Teach your dog to beg.
