INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Click a drive to select it, and then click Analyze. You may be prompted for an admin password.  Windows analyzes the level of fragmentation on your drive. If you have more than one hard drive, you'll need to do this for each one. Look for a non-solid state drive that is 10% fragmented or more. Click the drive to select it, and then click Optimize.  If a drive is less than 10% fragmented, you won't need to optimize it, but you can still do so if you wish.  If the drive is a solid state drive, you will not need to optimize it. Optimizing, or defragging, a solid state drive can harm it.  Defragmenting a hard drive can take hours. You can still use your computer while it's optimizing, but only if you're not using a program or file on the drive that's being optimized.

SUMMARY: Analyze the drives. Choose a drive to optimize. Click the drive you want to optimize to select it. Click Optimize to begin the defragmenting process. When the optimization is done, click Close to exit Optimize Drives.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can also make your beard look darker by growing a thicker beard. Let your beard grow out for at least four weeks. Many people feel that their beard is patchy, but in most cases you will not know how full your beard can be unless you grow it out fully. Exercising regularly can help to boost testosterone levels, which will promote hair growth. It will also increase blood circulation, making hair grow in thicker and fuller. Try getting at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. Strength training, such as weight lifting is the most beneficial for boosting testosterone. Stress can impact hair growth and quality by constricting blood vessels, making it difficult for nutrients to reach the hair follicles. In order to reduce your stress levels, try meditating for ten minutes each day. Sit in a quiet room and focus on your breathing. This will help you clear your mind and relax. Sleep can help to rejuvenate testosterone levels, which can help you grow a fuller beard. This is especially true if you are able to get a minimum of eight hours of sleep each night. Less than five hours of sleep can reduce your testosterone levels by up to 15% and may result in the development of a patchy beard. Eating a healthy vitamin and protein rich diet can also help to increase testosterone levels. For example, make sure that you eat a variety of vegetables and proteins. Try adding kale, Brazil nuts, and eggs to your diet to help thicken your beard.

SUMMARY: Grow out your beard for four weeks. Exercise regularly. Reduce stress. Sleep for eight hours each night. Eat a healthy diet.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Resist the urge to jam your fingers down hard on the strings. The goal is to gradually toughen your fingers, not tear them up. Relax your fingers, and press down only as hard as you need to in order to connect with the frets.  Pressing too hard can tear your calluses once they're built up, and can also cause other problems for your fingers and hands, such as tendonitis. If you're not sure whether you're pressing too hard, start by pressing as hard as you normally would and strumming the string. Then, ease up a bit and strum again. If you still get a good sound with the lighter touch, that means you should work on playing with more relaxed fingers. Moisturized skin is softer and more prone to tearing, so don't play the guitar right after taking a shower or washing the dishes. Wait until your hands are completely dry before you pick up your instrument again. Even using moisturizer can soften your fingers up enough to increase the risk of damage. Your fingers may be very painful and tender during your first 1 to 2 weeks of consistent practice, so using a mild pain-relieving agent can be helpful at this point. Try soaking your fingertips in apple cider vinegar for about 30 seconds before and after each session to make your fingers a little less sensitive. You can also try gentle pain relievers such as aspirin or a topical anesthetic containing benzocaine. Take care not to overdo it, however—you need to be able to notice if you are actually doing damage to your fingers. Some guitarists numb and protect their fingers by adding a little superglue or liquid band-aid solution to the fingertips on their fretting hand. If you do this, be sure to let the liquid dry completely before picking up your guitar! While using superglue or liquid band-aid on your fingertips can relieve your pain, it can also prevent your calluses from building up as quickly. While most finger pain comes from the pressure of pushing strings against the frets with your fretting hand, your strumming or picking hand can take a beating as well. Give your fingers a break by switching to a pick for a while. If you like the sound of finger strumming or picking, you may want to develop calluses on your strumming hand, too. Try to alternate frequently between using a pick and using your fingers so that your fingers have a chance to toughen up.

SUMMARY: Press on your strings as lightly as possible. Avoid playing the guitar after your hands have been in water. Use apple cider vinegar to relieve your pain. Put a drop of superglue on each fingertip to make an artificial callus. Use a pick if your strumming fingers hurt.
