Problem: Article: Getting slim is all about burning more calories than you take in, and making exercise a priority is a great way to do that. Take whatever physical activity you already do, and increase that so you're getting in more movement every day. For example, if your main movement comes from walking up the stairs to work or doing laundry, consider adding a 20-30 minute walk 3-4 days a week. There are some apps and programs out there that challenge you to meet a specific movement goal every day or week for a specific amount of time. When you join the competition, you pay a small fee; if you meet your goal, you get your money back at the end of the challenge. You can join in with others doing the same challenge, connect with people from around the world, and egg each other on to success! Charity Miles is a cool app that donates money to your charity of choice for the exercise you complete. You don't have to pay anything upfront, and it's a fun way to give something back while also getting in your daily exercise. StepBet is another app that lets you bet money on your ability to complete a 6-week fitness challenge. If you complete the challenge, you'll get your money back plus a portion from the pool of money from people who didn't quite make it.
Summary: Start moving your body more to help you burn extra calories. Use competition to motivate yourself to move your body every day.

Problem: Article: Do your research on candidates and find out where they stand on women's rights. Support those candidates by voting for them. One of the best ways to implement change is to get more people into office who are willing to fight for gender equality. Remember to vote in local, state, and national elections. They're all important! Let your representatives know that gender equality is an important issue to you. Reach out to them and ask them to stand up for gender equality. You can call or email your representatives. You can also make an appointment to visit them in person at their office. For example, you can call your Senator to voice your views on funding for Planned Parenthood. You can say, "I am your constituent and I want you to work to make sure Planned Parenthood receives more funding." Look for events that are being held near you. There might be a rally about women's healthcare or about equal pay. Go to a march or rally and take some friends with you! This is a great way to show your support for gender equality. Many workplaces have groups for females. These groups can be for women to talk about issues that they are dealing with and also a time for women to support each other. Ask around to see if your office has a group like this. If not, ask if you can start one. Most colleges and universities will also have these types of groups. Many even have a women's center, which will sponsor events that promote gender equality. If you want to enact change, holding office is a great way get started. You can start by running for city council or the school board. Or shoot for the stars and run for a state or national office. There are lots of resources out there to help you with your first campaign. Check out Emily's List and Run for Something for help.
Summary: Use your vote to support female and feminist candidates. Contact your representatives about important policies and legislation. Attend marches or rallies. Join an organization that promotes gender equality. Run for office.

Problem: Article: If you do not already know the name of the district attorney in your jurisdiction, you can find it online by searching for the website of the "office of the district attorney" or "district attorney's office" in your area. "District attorney" is the title of the chief prosecutor of a jurisdiction within only 21 of the 50 states. Other jurisdictions may use "attorney general," "county attorney," "prosecuting attorney," "state's attorney," "state attorney," "commonwealth's attorney," "circuit attorney," "solicitor," or "district attorney general." The inside address includes the recipient's full name, title, and address. For example, "The Honorable Jane Doe, District Attorney for San Diego County, 330 W Broadway #1300, San Diego, CA 92101." "The Honorable" is used to refer to elected officials. 47 of the 50 states elect their chief prosecutors by popular election in each jurisdiction. If your jurisdiction's chief prosecutor is appointed rather than elected (Alaska, Connecticut, New Jersey, and District of Columbia), use Mr. or Ms. instead of "The Honorable." The salutation, or greeting, normally begins with "Dear." It is acceptable to begin your salutation with "Dear Mr./Madame District Attorney" or "Dear Mr./Ms. (surname)." The term "Dear" is always appropriate in a business situation and does not mean that the person is dear to you. It is simply a proper opening salutation.
Summary: Research the name of the person you wish to address. Write the inside address. Write the salutation.

Problem: Article: The water should be warm but not hot. You could boil water in a kettle and pour out the required amount and let it stand until its temperature lowers. Alternatively, you could also run your tap until the water is quite warm (i.e., not tepid). Sea salt is best but table salt will work fine as well. This combination of warm water and salt is what gives the saline solution its name. "Saline" means containing or impregnated with salt. Place the cotton in your ear for three to five minutes. You can also use this solution without a cotton ball. Tilt your head and using an ear dropper, place one to two drops of the prewarmed saltwater into your ear. This will ensure that the solution does not drain out too much. Do make sure that you have tissues nearby to catch any drainage, though, especially if you used drops. Then, remove the cotton ball if used. This should remove any earwax over time. A warm saline solution will work to dissolve the earwax like an oil-based one. However, you may have to repeat the process a few more times than you would using oil because the warm saline does not dissolve the earwax as well as oils do. You can also follow up this "ear soak" with a rinse, using an ear wash bulb. Fill the bulb with saline solution. After the three to five minute soak (as described above), tilt your head again and gently place the end of the bulb near the opening of the ear. Do not place it in the ear canal. Gently squeeze out the saline around the opening of your ear. Repeat this rinse two to three times. Most of the time, two to three treatments (saline soak plus the water rinse) are sufficient to remove most of the earwax.
Summary:
Warm cup of water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Soak a piece of a cotton ball in the saline solution. Keep your head tilted for the three to five minutes. Repeat the procedure three to five times a day.
