Records are fragile and will break when dropped. Additionally, the oils from your fingers can transfer onto the material and build up over time. It's important to hold records by the sides or the center label only. Never move the arm on your record player by hand, as the drop of the needle can harm your record. Use the cueing lever on your record player and aim for the area, letting the arm drop slowly to prevent gouging the vinyl. Keeping your records clean will minimize the potential for damage from dust, dirt, and other particles which could result in scratching. There are a few steps for cleaning:  Gently wipe records with a carbon fibre brush before and after each play, and before you begin a deep clean. Wrap your index finger in a lint-free cloth, and lightly dip it into a bowl of warm, distilled water. Gently rub your finger over the record in a circular motion following the grooves of the record, moving clockwise from the center of the record out. Once at the edge of the record, wipe counter-clockwise back into the center of the record. If your record is still not clean, mix a drop of dish soap into the distilled water and repeat. All soap will leave a residue, so try not to use any soap to clean your records. Rinse once more by wiping with distilled water to remove residue from soap. Records should be dry immediately due to small amount of water used. Avoid getting the label wet. If you do, pat dry with a clean, lint-free towel. If your record is still not clean, consider using a record vacuum system. Although expensive, they are engineered to do the best job of cleaning your records while keeping them safe. Any records made from shellac, such as some 78rpm records, should be cleaned either professionally, or using professional cleaning solutions specifically made for this purpose. Early shellac records are very porous and will absorb any residue, leading to damage. For a shellac record that is older and more resilient, you can try the method for cleaning using distilled water and a small amount of dish soap. Having extra sleeves on hand will be helpful for when you clean your records. If you have a problem with dust or dirt in your collection, cleaning your record will help, but placing them in new sleeves after cleaning will ensure that they aren’t getting dirty again. A poorly maintained record player can harm your records by gouging the surface and allowing dust onto your record. Keep the needle sharp and the turntable clean to ensure the safety of your collection.

One-sentence summary -- Handle records with care. Clean your vinyl records regularly. Take special care of shellac records. Place cleaned records in a new, clean sleeve. Ensure that your record player is in good condition.

Q: Your boyfriend would expect you to write "I love you" at the end of a letter or a text message, but he won't expect to see it written in the steam after his shower, in the hot sauce on his morning omelet, or on a blank page of his notebook that he sees when he's about to take notes for class. Finding a creative and unique place to write "I love you" will make him think even more fondly of you when you're not there, and will make him feel more romantic because you've made a special effort to let him know that you care. Just doing this once or twice a month can really show your boyfriend that you care. You don't have to overdo it. This can be a CD that reminds him of "your songs" or one that really takes his musical tastes into account and is a mix of things you actually think he likes. Don't recommend your favorite bands if you know they aren't his thing; but if you really know what he would like, then make him a mixed CD and pop it into his car's CD player when he's not looking. When he turns on the car, he'll get a pleasant surprise. Make sure you know what music he listens to, what music he already owns, and what he likes before you go and do this. Put together a scrapbook of all of your most meaningful memories. Put together photos of you together, tickets from your favorite concert, a menu from the restaurant where you first said, "I love you," or notes that you wrote each other throughout the course of your relationship. This can make a great anniversary or birthday gift, or you can give him the book just because. This book will make him see how far you've come in your relationship, and will make him appreciate you even more. Who says Valentine's Day is only for February 14th? If you're both busy that day, or if you just want to be romantic on a random Wednesday, then you should plan an celebrating Valentine's Day on whatever day works for you two; you can use this time to shower each other with love and affection, dress up, and eat something delicious. This fake Valentine's Day will be extra fun because you both will feel like you're in on a joke. Little kids have an infinitive amount of wonder at the state of the world, along with a healthy dose of hope and optimism. So, take a day to just act like a kid with your boyfriend, and see how much your love for each other and the world grows when you do the silly things you loved to do as a kid. You two can go to a carnival, make balloon animals, finger paint, mud wrestle, or just do anything fun and silly that makes you feel more romantic and more alive. Here are some other things you can do:  Blow soap bubbles Bake cookies Make macaroni and cheese Watch fireworks Eat cotton candy at a baseball game Go to a water park Make S'mores Taking a pottery class with your boyfriend will be just as romantic as that one scene in Ghost -- except it'll be even better because you'll both be alive. You'll be getting your hands dirty, learning something new, and creating something that you can bring home and put on your coffee table, however lopsided and misshaped it may be. Not only will you have fun doing this, but you'll be developing even more affection for one another. If you've spent a lot of time apart and have sent long emails to each other, or if you're just the kind of people who love sending each other emails, you should print out all of your sweet, funny, and romantic emails and put them in a book for your boyfriend. He'll read over all of your love notes and will remember all of the great times you've had and all of the memories you've shared. An affectionate email can be just as romantic as a love note. Just punch holes in the emails and bind them together with thick colorful string and hand 'em over.
A: Write "I love you" in hidden places. Make him a mixed CD. Make a scrapbook. Celebrate Valentine's Day early (or late). Act like a little kid. Take a pottery class together. Make a book of all of the emails you've written to each other.

Article: You can never wash your hands too much.  You should especially wash your hands after you’ve used the bathroom and before you eat.  It is also helpful to get into the habit of washing your hands after you’ve been out in public, or have touched public door handles, elevator buttons, or railings. Your hands are your connection to the world.  Unfortunately, that means they’re probably covered in dirt, oil, bacteria and other stuff you don’t want to think about, especially before you’ve washed them. This is especially important if either you or the other person are currently feeling ill.  But just to be safe, because many illnesses can be contagious when the person isn’t symptomatic, it’s best just to avoid sharing anything, with anyone, that touches your mouth. Make sure your vaccinations and immunizations are up-to-date.  If you can’t remember when you last had one, speak to your doctor — in some cases, it’s better to get a shot early than not at all.    These immunizations will help keep away many illnesses like the flu or the measles that have a fever as a symptom. Note that it is not uncommon for an immunization with an active virus to give you temporary symptoms, including a fever, in the few days following the shot.  Make sure you’re aware of these possible side effects by speaking to your doctor.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wash your hands. Do not touch your face. Do not share bottles, cups, or cutlery. Get your regular immunizations.
