INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may want to heat water on the stove or in the microwave, but you have more chance of burning yourself if you heat the water in this way. Instead, run the hot water from your sink to a temperature that is just hot enough for you to tolerate. Fold a towel or washcloth to cover only the area you want to place the compress on. Test the towel to make sure it isn't too hot to place on your skin. Then, place it on the affected region. Leave the towel on for 20 minutes or so, up to three times a day, until your soreness improves. Rather than making a compress for a specific area of your body, if you have multiple sore muscles or your whole body is sore after a grueling working heating your whole body can be an effective way for pain relief (and it can also speed up your post-workout recovery time). Options include:  Have a hot bath. Have a hot shower. Go in a hot tub. Go in a steam room. Go in a sauna. If you are treating sore muscles with heat on a regular basis, it is important to take the following precautions:  Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water (at least 8 cups a day). Prolonged exposure to heat can cause dehydration so it's important to drink ample water.  Be careful not to burn yourself. Check the temperature of the hot towel before using or, if you are using a heating pad or hot water bottle, you should wrap it in a towel or cloth prior to use to ensure you do not burn your skin.  Check your skin for blistering. If this occurs, or you experience pain, remove the compress. Your body will generally tell you when things are too hot. Heat helps your sore muscle(s) to relax by stimulating the blood flow to the area and diminishing muscle spasms.  Muscle pain commonly occurs in over-worked muscles due to the build-up of something called lactic acid.  Lactic acid is a metabolic by-product of challenging workouts (or challenging sports games), and you need to increase the blood flow to the sore muscle in order to clear the lactic acid out.  Note that if you have chronically sore muscles, heat prior to working out (or prior to a sports event) can help to ease any pain you may feel during the activity itself. If you have a heating pad at home, or a hot water bottle, these can be quick and effective "home remedies" for sore muscles. If you find that you have sore muscles regularly, you may want to invest in a heating pad or a hot water bottle to avoid having to make your own hot compress with a towel and hot water every time.

SUMMARY: Run water from the tap until it is hot. Find a towel that is large enough to cover your injury. Place the towel under the running water and allow it to become saturated with water. Heat your whole body. Take precautions. Understand why heat can be soothing and help to ease muscle pain. Try other options.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Attach the multimeter leads to the ports on the bottom or side of your multimeter. Set your multimeter so the arrow points at the “ACV” or “V~” option for measuring the AC voltage. Hold the pins against the positive and negative terminals of the power source you’re measuring and check the reading on the multimeter display. Write down the number so you can remember it easily.  It doesn’t matter which pin you hold against each terminal. Never use a multimeter if the rubber around the pins has damage or tears since you could risk electrocuting yourself. Since an AC power supply sends voltage in alternating waves, DC voltage will be lower once you convert it. Write out the formula VAC/√(2) and replace VAC with the AC voltage you found with your multimeter. Use a calculator to solve your equation if you want the most precise answer. For example, if the AC power source has 120 V, then your formula would be 120/√(2) = 84.85 V in a DC signal. The DC voltage you calculated is known as the theoretical voltage since that’s how much the current would have if it were perfect. However, currents have a voltage drop when they’re converted or connected to a device so they won’t have the full amount you found. If you want to find the actual output, you’ll need to check with a multimeter by holding the pins against the positive and negative terminals on the device. Voltage drop may cause electronics not to work if there are not enough volts running through it.
Summary: Find the AC voltage of the power source with a multimeter. Divide the AC voltage by the square root of 2 to find the DC voltage. Know that the actual DC output will be less than your calculation.

Traditionally, gifts given on White Day should be white in color. Think of fun ideas, such as white chocolate for “giri” gifts or even white lingerie for your lover. Alternatively, you can use white gift wrap paper or a white gift bag, and tie it with some pretty ribbons. You should give a gift to each woman who gave one to you, but be sure to let the woman know if you want to be just friends or something more. Return “giri” gifts with similar items, such as Poko or candy. Choose something special for a “honmei” gift, such as a purse or jewelry. If a woman gives you a “honmei” gift and you don’t share her feelings, it is customary to let her down gently by explaining your feelings in person or even in a note, and presenting her with a gift that equals the value of what she got for you. Marshmallows, chocolate, cookies, and other sweets are very popular gifts for White Day. Choose some delicious treats to show your affection for female friends. To make the gift even more meaningful, make the sweets yourself. White flowers such as lilies, peonies, and orchids are perfect White Day gifts. Alternatively, you can give a woman her favorite kind of flower to show how much you care. A soft, white stuffed animal is a great White Day gift for younger girls. A teddy bear is a popular choice, or you can choose her favorite animal. Perfume, body mist, lotion, scented soap, or candles are nice White Day gifts. Choose something with a sweet smell and a pretty label. White gold or platinum jewelry fits with the white theme. However, only present expensive gifts such as jewelry to that one lucky lady in your life, rather than a friend. This special day is the perfect opportunity to go out. Eat at a nice restaurant, go to the movies, or visit a museum or art gallery. Enjoy spending some time with the one you love on White Day.

One-sentence summary -- Pick something white. Make your intentions clear. Give sweets. Deliver flowers. Choose a stuffed animal. Pick bath accessories. Present jewelry. Go on a date with your significant other.
