Problem: Article: Over time, exchange rates rise and fall.  For instance, one day the exchange rate might allow you to trade 1 bitcoin for $4,900.  A week later, the exchange rate might offer $5,100 for 1 bitcoin.  Wait to exchange your bitcoins until the corresponding dollar value rises.  There is no fixed percentage or value that defines a favorable exchange rate.  Some people might feel that if the value of a bitcoin rises by $100, it is a good time to convert their currency.  Others might wait until the value they’d get rises by 5 percent. Check the exchange rate regularly online or sign up for a service that updates you on the bitcoin-to-dollar exchange rate so you'll know when it improves. Some marketplaces allow you to sell your bitcoins to another person.  Others allow you to sell them directly to the marketplace, which will then resell them to interested buyers later.  In either case, the specific method you use to sell your bitcoins will vary somewhat depending on the marketplace you use.  Generally, you can simply click on “Sell your bitcoins” or some similar option to get the process started. The bitcoins will the be converted to dollars and transferred to the bank account you provided. Some marketplaces enable you to load your bitcoins onto a debit card that automatically converts them to dollars.  You might be able to get a digital debit card, which simply provides you with a string of numbers you can use for online purchases that require dollars, or you could get a regular debit card in the mail. Both types of debit cards cost money (digital debit cards typically cost about $5, while regular debit cards cost $15-$20), but they offer added convenience, especially if you rarely use cash. Some bitcoin conversion services allow you to convert your bitcoins to dollars by transferring them to PayPal, Apple Pay, or similar services.  If this is the way you want to convert your bitcoins to dollars, set your payout method to the digital wallet you want to use.  Then, simply sell or transfer your bitcoins to the service of your choice through the marketplace menus.  Converting bitcoins to dollars by transferring them to a digital wallet often has higher fees and lower limits than transferring them to your bank account. This option might, however, be preferable for people who make digital purchases regularly and don’t want the hassle of transferring their money from a bank to a digital wallet.
Summary: Convert your bitcoins when the exchange rate is favorable. Sell your bitcoins in the marketplace. Put your bitcoins on a debit card. Transfer your bitcoins to another digital wallet.

Problem: Article: You can cut the leaves away or use your fingers to pull them off. Be careful not to bruise the bulbs, which could cause them to rot. Once the water is boiling, add the fennel and continue to boil it for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on how tender you want the bulbs. Blanching is essential to retain to the color, texture, and flavor of the fennel. Do this immediately after removing it from the boiling water. You want to cool the fennel down quickly to prevent it from continuing to cook. Use another paper towel to soak up excess water by gently pressing on the fennel. Allow the herbs to dry for a few minutes. Use glass or plastic containers with lids, or simple plastic freezer bags. When you are ready to use them, simply remove the fennel from the freezer, thaw it, and use as you would normally use a fresh bulb. Fennel can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Summary: Separate the leaves from the bulbs. Boil a large pot of water on high heat to blanch the bulbs. Remove the fennel with a spoon and dip it into a bowl of ice-cold water. Transfer the fennel from the ice water to paper towels. Place the fennel bulbs in storage containers and freeze them.

Problem: Article: Be quick on your feet to respond, especially if you are nervous as your other friends will tell everyone if you admit your feelings.  Be ready to change the subject or divert the focus from you if the sensitive topic arises. When questioned about your feelings you have to have a determined-sounding response and fire back your response without too much (or too little) delay. One of the biggest tell-tale signs of someone who is hiding their feelings is that they become uncharacteristically quiet or standoffish. If you want to hide your feelings, you have to hide the fact that you're hiding them as well! So be sure to try not to come across as overly quiet. If they ask you directly, and you still don't want to admit, you're going to have to consciousness look them in the eye and lie. Make your response simple and to the point. Many people believe that making eye contact is a sign that the speaker is telling the truth so this along with your brief responses will help to keep your feelings secret. If you are overcome with anger or sadness and those feelings intensify in the presence of others, you may have to take some time out and avoid the people who stir those feelings in you.  In many cases, time will help alleviate some of your emotions, and you will be able to resume your relationship once things have cooled down. In some cases, such as instances of extreme betrayal or abuse, it might be better to eliminate that relationship altogether.
Summary: Watch what you say. Lie if you must. Avoid them.

Problem: Article: Skunks are scavengers, so they'll eat anything nutritious they can find. If you have trees that produce nuts, berries, crabapples, or other fruits, clean them up by raking your yard as often as necessary.  Other vegetation, like piles of grass clippings, should also be discarded, since it may contain seeds or other sources of food for skunks. If you have a garden, harvest ripe fruit and vegetables as soon as you can, to prevent a hungry skunk from feasting on them. Use a tray under your bird feeder to catch most of the seeds, and clean up stray seeds dropped by birds often. Similarly to raccoons and other stray animals, skunks can survive on garbage alone. It's important to keep your trash cans properly sealed. Sometimes regular garbage cans simply won't do. To defend against scavenging animals, you can buy locking garbage cans at a fairly cheap price at your local home improvement store.  If possible, store your trash bins in a shed or in your garage at night, so their smell doesn't attract skunks. Use an enclosed compost bin, since skunks like to eat old fruit and vegetable peels, eggshells, and other items that you may be composting. Skunks like to make their homes under decks, porches, and in other sheltered areas. Close off spaces that may be appealing to skunks using rocks, fencing, or plywood.  Log piles and piles of lumber or building materials can serve as shelters for skunks. Store the materials in a shed or bin to prevent skunks from moving in. Large bushes are also good shelters for skunks. If you see skunks hanging out in bushes or low vegetation, you might want to trim back the branches so it's not quite as appealing.
Summary:
Remove nuts, berries, and other natural food sources. Protect your waste. Close off hiding places.
