Show that you’re interested and engaged not only with your words but also with your body. For example, don’t cross your arms or legs. Keep an open posture to communicate openness and approachability. Stand or sit an appropriate distance away from her: don’t be too close where it invades her personal space yet don’t be too far away that you can’t hear each other. Lean in while she’s talking. This will bring you closer and show that you’re interested. Making eye contact is one of the best ways to show that you’re engaged in the conversation and interested in what she’s saying. It also helps you appear confident and open. If you’re not making eye contact with her, she might think you’re disinterested or nervous. You don’t have to make constant eye contact. Just make sure to look her in the eyes throughout the conversation. Most people make eye contact two-thirds of the time, so aim for about that time or perhaps just slightly more. Notice how she’s acting while you talk. Is she smiling or laughing? Is she asking you questions back? Is she making eye contact? These are ways to gauge her interest in you and the conversation. If she’s enjoying the interactions, keep it up! If she seems annoyed, is looking away, or giving short responses, you may want to try again later or conclude that she’s disinterested. Remember that she might be nervous, too. If she’s acting shy or anxious, try to make her feel comfortable by asking more about her or by telling a joke to lighten the mood.

Summary: Show open body language. Make great eye contact. Look at her cues.

When you set up BitLocker on your computer, you were given a 48-digit recovery key to use when you forget your BitLocker password. You'll need to find this key before you can unlock BitLocker:  If you printed out your recovery key, look for it in any location in which you keep important documents. If you saved your recovery key as a text file on a USB drive, plug the USB drive into a different Windows computer to open the text file and view the key. If your system administrator or IT professional set up BitLocker for you, contact them for specific instructions on getting back your key. If your computer isn't already turned on to the BitLocker screen, turn on your computer. If your computer is turned on to the BitLocker screen, skip this step and the next one.

Once you've navigated through any extra prompts, you're free to turn off BitLocker from within Settings.

Summary: Find your recovery key. Start your computer if necessary. Wait for the BitLocker screen to load. Press Esc. Enter your BitLocker recovery key. Press ↵ Enter. Follow the on-screen prompts.


To get the most out of your limes, roll them across the counter while gently pressing down on them with your palm. The pitcher should be large enough to hold at least 6 cups (1.5 liters) of liquid. This will include the lime juice, sugar, and ice. Your standard granulated sugar will work just fine, but superfine or castor sugar (not powdered) will work even better because it dissolves easier. Keep in mind that, because you are not cooking the sugar, you may end up with a few un-dissolved grains at the bottom of your pitcher.  Be sure to stir the sugar well to help it dissolve. For a twist, try ⅔ cup (150 grams) of white sugar and 2 tablespoons (45 grams) of honey instead. Since every one has different tastes, it might be a good idea to add the water 1 cup (240 milliliters) at a time, and tasting the limeade after each cup you add; be sure to stir the limeade well after each addition. You may find that the limeade is just right after only 4 cups (1 liter) of water. If the limeade is still too sweet or too strong for you, you can add another cup (240 milliliters) of water. Avoid adding the ice directly into the pitcher, because the ice will dilute the limeade as it melts. Instead, add the ice into the glasses first, then pour the limeade over the ice.
Summary: Juice enough limes to make 1 cup (240 milliliters) of lime juice. Pour the lime juice into a large pitcher. Stir in 1 cup (225 grams) of sugar. Add up to 5 cups (1.2 liters) of water, and stir. Serve the limeade.
