Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check to see if the fabric is colorfast. Pre-treat the stained areas, if necessary. Make a solution of mild detergent or shampoo and cool water. Dip a clean cloth in the solution and use it to scrub away the stain. Use cool water to rinse the soap from the fabric and let it air dry.

Answer: Wet the corner of a clean, white cloth with water. Rub the wet cloth on an inconspicuous area of the hat, like the inside. If the dye doesn't come off onto the cloth, the fabric is colorfast and you can clean it. If the dye rubs off, you won't be able to wash it. If you do try to wash the hat, the color will bleed out and the hat will be ruined. If the hat is dirty but can't be washed, your best bet is to buy a new one. If the hat is particularly dirty, you can spray a mild stain treatment product on the fabric to help loosen the sweat and grime. Make sure the product doesn't contain bleaching agents, like chlorine, which could fade the color. Put a small amount of a mild laundry detergent into a bucket or bowl then fill it up with cool water. Alternatively, you could use a mild shampoo to help remove the sweat and body oil. Swirl your hand in the solution to disperse the soap and create bubbles. The cloth doesn't need to be sopping wet, just put a little bit of the soap and water mixture on a small section. Use it to rub the stained areas of the hat to remove the dirt, sweat, and oil. Wet new areas of the cloth as necessary and scrub the fabric until you've removed all the stains. After you've removed all the stains, use a gentle stream of cool water to rinse out the hat. Try to avoid completely soaking or submerging it if the hat has a cardboard brim. Then, soak up the excess water by pressing a towel into the fabric. Use your hands to reshape the hat, if you need to. Allow the hat to fully air dry, and place it in front of a fan if possible. Don't dry the hat in direct sunlight or in a clothes dryer, as the fabric might fade or warp from the sun and/or heat.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get enough sleep each night. Keep your stress levels low. Increase or vary your activity level. Stay motivated.

Answer: Studies have shown that getting less than five hours of sleep each night or more than nine hours of sleep can result in an increase in weight gain. Some studies further show that not getting enough sleep increases the body's cravings for high-calorie foods, and led to an overall increase in caloric intake. Adults should get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night. Stress causes the body to crave fatty foods, often called "comfort food", and can also lead to snacking or eating when the body isn't actually hungry. Finding ways to lower your stress levels can help you feel better and may help you lose weight faster. Try something new. That will help keep you interested and wanting to do more. Repeating the same workout at the gym for month after month will lead to a plateau where you will stop seeing gains. Try something different, or hire a trainer to give some variety to your exercise program. Often times, people lose motivation to stick with a diet or an exercise routine. Finding a reason to stay motivated beyond belly fat goals, like overcoming a genetic predisposition to excess body weight or working toward fitting into your favorite article of clothing again, can help you stay motivated to meet your fitness and lifestyle goals.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use Skype for dialing international numbers. Try another service like MagicApp or PopTox. Consider an online service that doesn't use phone numbers.

Answer: Call international phone numbers directly from the popular Skype application for computer and mobile devices. Buy Skype credit to pay as you go or a subscription to make a payment monthly. Open the dialpad in your Skype app using the button that looks like the 10 keys on a traditional phone dialpad. Then select the country you are calling to from the dropdown menu. The country code will automatically be added, so you need only press or type in the rest of the phone number with area code. There is no need to use an IDD number. If the person you are trying to call has a Skype account, you can skip dialing a phone number altogether and call him or her for free. Just add him or her as a contact to start a free audio or video call at any time. Use another similar internet-based service to make calls to international numbers. Use a computer with an internet connection or a mobile device with a data plan to call regular phone numbers through these applications. Try out services like PopTox if you want to make calls from a computer browser without having to download any software or app. Use mobile apps like MagicApp and Talkatone to place international calls for free. Or, try a service like Google Hangouts, Rebtel, or Vonage to make calls at affordable rates. Ask your call recipient if you can reach them through other online applications that don't require calling a traditional phone number. Many of these VoIP services are free to join and to call other users of the app. Try out popular services like Google Hangouts, Viber, or Facebook Messenger. These apps simply require you to join the service in order to call other users of the service for free. Make sure both you and the person you are calling are connected to a reliable internet connection before placing a call through an application on your computer or phone. Data rates still apply for using any app on your mobile device unless connected to WiFi.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize that your stalking is normalbut painful. Block your ex from all social media sites. Unfriend or stop following your ex. Limit your ex's presence on your news feed. Stop following the feeds of mutual friends. Practice self-control. Remove contact information from your devices.

Answer:
Although you may think that checking up on your ex on social media is stalking, it is actually a completely normal behavior following a breakup. You may want to see who your ex is with and what the person is doing in the hopes that your ex feels as miserable as you. But this can create a bad cycle of using social media for reassurance that ultimately makes you feel worse. Be aware that if you are using social media to find out where your ex is and then find him or her, this is actual stalking and potentially illegal. If you find yourself doing this, you may need to seek professional treatment. The expansive world of social media sites like Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram give people incredible access to the lives of othersincluding those you may not want to see. Blocking your ex entirely from any of your own social media sites may most extreme way to not stalk your ex, but it is also the most effective. Be prepared to deal with either your ex or mutual friends asking you why you took this action. Your decision may hurt your ex or mutual friends even. However, explain that the pain of your breakup is too much and this was the best decision for you and not meant to hurt anyone. Realize that another added benefit of blocking someone is that you often need to refriend or refollow the person. The sheer embarrassment of having to ask permission to see so that you can stalk the person may keep you from doing this. A less extreme way to not have the temptation of stalking your ex is to unfriend or unfollow the person on social media. This can help prevent you from accessing your ex's sites, limit how much of the person's life you see, and also minimize how badly you feel. Prepare yourself to deal with invariable questions just as you may with blocking an ex. You can also use the same explanation, "Honestly, I need a break. Maybe in the future I can follow my ex on social media. For now, I need to just not see or be able to see what Gregory is doing." If you're concerned that blocking your ex might hurt the person or leave others questioning you, limit what you see on social media. You could simply unsubscribe from your ex's posts or other features that might alert you to what your ex is doing. Some social media sites like Facebook will even automatically prompt you to limit exposure when you change your relationship status. Depending on your network of friends, your ex may appear in statuses, location updates, and photos on social media sites. These may upset you, especially if you find out your ex is with a new partner or having a ball without you. In order to avoid seeing your ex's name or image, consider un-following the social media feeds of mutual and/ or close friends. Play off anything you may miss if you don't want the person to know you're no longer following his or her feeds. If a feed is mentioned, just say "oh, I must have missed that" or "I only got a quick glance because I didn't notice it until I was at work." Consider being honest to mutual friends. You can say, "I'm so sorry, but it's just too painful to see Gregory in your news feeds. I really value your friendship and know he does, too. For now, I'd love to catch up with what you're doing in other ways." From time to time, you may be tempted to poke around social media and search engines for your ex. One innocent search or view of a news feed could lead you to a night of questioning about things such as whether or not the person who liked your ex's recent profile picture is a relative or new love interest. By reminding yourself that it's better for you to avoid your ex's social media and web presence altogether, you aid the process of closure. A little self-control in this regard can give you more control over yourself and your emotions. Many smartphones, tablets, and other devices connect phone numbers with social media presences. You can prevent yourself from stalking your ex by removing the person's contact information from devices. This can not only keep you from looking up your ex in a moment of weakness, but will also remove an ever-present reminder of the person. Write your ex's contact information on a piece of paper if you may need to contact the person. This keeps you from having the reminder of the person as well as the temptation of looking up his or her sites.that you won't see every day and store it in a safe place.
