Article: Communicating is one of the best ways to strengthen your connection with someone. Talking is one of the most effective forms of communication, so it makes sense that connecting verbally can help strengthen your personal bonds. Try to have in-depth conversations with those people you really care about.  One way to do this would be to implement better dinner table talk. For example, if you live with a romantic partner, avoid watching tv while you eat. Instead, try to have an interesting conversation several times a week. Ask fun questions such as, "If you won the lottery, what would you do first?" These sorts of questions can help you connect and get to know one another better. Having good conversations is an excellent way to make your work life better. Not only can it help you advance in your profession, but it will make your day-to-day routine more enjoyable. Try talking to your co-workers about things other than work. This will help you connect on a personal level. Then, when you are working on a project together, you will naturally communicate more effectively. Perhaps you've noticed that your cubicle mate has several pictures of her cat on her desk. Try to ask her questions about her pet as a way to get to know her better. This will lead to more in-depth conversations down the road. People who are happy about their conversations are generally happier people. Mostly, this refers to in-depth conversations, but surface level chats can raise your endorphins, too. Basically, try to put effort into each conversation that you have during the day and you'll start to feel good about life in general. while you are talking with someone to improve your mood. Try to smile more when you are talking with someone as well. Smiling makes you feel happier by releasing endorphins, so it is an easy way to improve the quality of your conversations and to get more out of them. Remind yourself to smile before, during, and after your conversation to reap the benefits of smiling.

Problem: Article: Do this only after the sprigs have been washed well and patted dry.  If you use your fingers, gently hold the top of the stem with one hand and use your other hand to gently pinch and run down the stem detaching the leaves. If you wish to use a fork instead, gently hold the top and run the stem between the tines.  If not, stir the leaves gently and return the plate to the drying area.  Label the container with the "packed on" date and the contents. Note that dried thyme is one of the best herbs for retaining flavor. Still yet, thyme is best fresh (as is the case with most herbs).
Summary: Detach the leaves from the stem using either your fingers or a fork. Spread the leftover leaves (detached from the stem) on a plate in a cool location. Check the leaves after several days to see if the drying process is complete. Push the thyme leaves into a pile when they are dry and transfer the leaves to a resealable container. Store the dehydrated thyme leaves in the refrigerator. Finished.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cleaning your ears while you have an infection can be very painful and is not a good idea. Consider an infection if you are having symptoms such as earaches, smelly discharge, or ringing in your ears. If you suspect that you have an infection, visit with your doctor before trying any method to clean your ear yourself. For the majority of people, this is really all you need to do.  Don’t pour or stick anything into your ear, and don’t try to scrape anything out.  The human ear is designed to be self-cleaning, and earwax flows outward to facilitate this process.  So, in almost all cases, there is no reason to go digging around in there.  Earwax lubricates, hydrates, and offers some protection to the delicate components of the ear canal.  It also possesses antibacterial properties, and naturally carries nasty stuff out of your ear canal.  The ear canal's skin and hair help direct wax out of the ear.  Additionally, chewing and other jaw motions help push wax outward. Cotton swabs (e.g., Q-Tips) are great for cleaning a million different little things — except for your ears.  Using a cotton swab (or a rolled up napkin corner, etc.) to clean your ears will probably just push earwax down further toward your eardrum.  Even worse, because of the thin skin and sensitive components inside your ear, you can easily cause punctures or other damage. Most cases of impacted earwax are caused by ill-advised cleaning methods that push wax down against the eardrum. If you want to get rid of ear wax, wait until it emerges from your ear canal.  Then, wipe it and the rest of your ear with a soft, moist cloth or cotton ball.  You can even use those cotton swabs — that you’ve stopped sticking into your ear — to get to all the nooks and crannies on the outer part of your ear. Basically, only worry about cleaning the parts of your ear you can see in the mirror. Cerumen (earwax) impaction almost always happens due to human habits, like regularly sticking foreign objects — including cotton swabs, hearing aids, earbuds, earplugs, or a stethoscope — into your ears.  If you develop an earwax impaction, you’ll probably use terms like “clogged,” “full” or “plugged up” to describe the feeling in your ear. Wax buildup on the eardrum can also cause muffled hearing or even progressive hearing loss.  Other common symptoms of impaction include earaches; ringing in the ears (tinnitus); ear canal itchiness; discharge that may smell foul; and coughing spells. In most cases, your doctor will use some combination of irrigation and manual extraction to remove impacted earwax.  Any pain should be minimal, and you will probably feel the difference (and possibly notice improved hearing) almost immediately. Many of the symptoms of cerumen impaction can also indicate ear infections or other serious conditions that your doctor can diagnose and treat.

SUMMARY: Make sure that you don't have an infection. Leave your ear canal alone. Put down the cotton swabs. Clean the outside of your ear. Recognize signs of impaction. See your doctor for impaction removal.

This means adjusting the distribution of your sound through different channels, such as left and right speakers. Most songs don't sound as good when they're played in just one channel (mono). Listen to your song through completely and do a bit of mixing. You might need to adjust the panning and volume. Maybe you've tried recording riffs or segments of your track already, but remember to record your complete track as well. FL Studio has a helpful function if you forget: it remembers MIDI notes from about the previous five minutes, even when not recording. To regain a riff, go to an empty pattern, and then click “Dump Score Log To Selected Channel”. Before you export your song, you can go into options and modify the "project info" or metadata that a media player will display. Here, you can change such things as the name your song, the artist's name, comments, and the song's genre. You can save to file forms WAV, MP3, MIDI and OGG.  Exporting is done through the File menu in a process called rendering. Pull down the menu and select the file type and quality you'd like to save your project as.  You won't be able to play back saved projects in the FL Studio Demo version. To open saved projects fully, you'll have to register FL Studio and plugins. The only other limitation of the demo version is that you might also hear some static, white noise, or silence using some of the plugins. That said, the demo version is still very functional and a great way to learn FL Studio.
