INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A neodymium magnet is a rare-earth magnet made of neodymium and is extremely strong.  Apply your magnet carefully to the bottom of the battery.  Place the battery/magnet assembly on a flat surface. Measure the whole height of the battery/magnet assembly.  Obtain a heart-shaped template from a coloring book or print one from your computer.  Lay the template on a flat surface.  Find the center of your copper wire and place it over the point from which the acute angle of your heart template radiates.  From there, the wire should curve up and away from the central point before swooping back down towards the base of the battery. Ensure that the central point of the wire heart will sit on the positive pole and the bottom will close around the magnet.  The two ends of the wire should close around the battery on either side, forming a closed loop.  The wire should touch the sides of the battery without pinching it so tightly that movement of the wire around the battery is limited or impossible when it starts spinning. Fine-tuning the wire shape may require repeated sessions of placing it on the battery/magnet assembly, checking for symmetry and balance, and widening or tightening the loop formed by the two “arms” of the heart which meet around the base.  Ensure the loop around the magnet does not come into contact with the table; if it does, it will cause friction which impedes the speed and efficacy of your homopolar motor. Once your wire shape is ready, you can set it on the positive pole of the battery.  Watch the wire shape spin round & round.   If you’re in a relationship, this homopolar motor design functions as an easy DIY romantic gift.

SUMMARY: Place the neodymium magnet on the flat end of the battery. Bend your wire into a heart shape. Use the measurements of the battery/magnet assembly to adjust its shape. Make small adjustments to the heart-shaped wire you’ve crafted. Start the motor.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The best way to settle a debt is to offer the creditor a lump sum payment. They will be tempted to take available cash now rather than come up with a new debt repayment plan that you might stop paying. Accordingly, you should contribute monthly into a savings account to build up a lump sum.  If you’d prefer to make monthly payments, then you should consider something other than debt settlement. Alternately, if you can’t save any money each month, then seriously consider filing for bankruptcy. Probably the only way to build up a lump sum is to stop paying your unsecured creditors. Remember, they can call you and sue you for breach of contract once you stop paying. Your credit score will also take a hit. . You’ll want to start the negotiation process by drafting a letter with your opening offer to settle the debt. Each creditor should get its own letter, and tailor the letter by including your account information.  Explain why you can’t pay the debt. Provide information about your monthly income and any adversity you have faced, such as job loss or health issues. Clearly state how much you are offering to settle the debt. Start low. For example, you could offer to pay 30% of the value. Mention you might be forced into bankruptcy if they don’t accept. Bankruptcy is your trump card. Your unsecured creditors will probably get completely wiped out if you file for bankruptcy, so they have an incentive to settle with you.  Include a request that they report the loan as “paid in full” to the credit reporting agencies. Also ask that all other negative information be removed.  Send the letter certified mail, return receipt requested. Your creditor will respond, either in writing or by calling. If they call, ask them to send any counter-offer in writing. It’s very easy for creditors to deny they ever promised anything orally, so always have a paper trail. Once you receive your counter-offer, analyze whether you think it is acceptable.  If the creditor won’t put a counter-offer in writing, then take very careful notes. Write down the name of who you spoke to, their job title, and the date and time of your call.  If the creditor rejects any attempt to settle the debt, you can raise the amount you are willing to pay. Put this information in a second letter. You also might decide to stop negotiating with a creditor. For example, a couple of your creditors might have agreed to settle your accounts. This should free up money you can contribute to your other debts. You might consider a debt management plan or debt consolidation for your remaining debts. Get your agreement to settle the debt in writing. Do not accept verbal promises. Instead, insist on a settlement agreement letter and read it thoroughly before signing. You want the agreement to state you are forgiven for the original amount of the loan.  If you need help understanding the agreement, then meet with a lawyer to review it together. There are many low-cost legal options for people without much money. Always keep a copy of the signed letter for your records. Confirm that debt has been accurately reported as settled. You don’t want accounts indefinitely listed as in default or in collections. If you see an error, contact a credit reporting agency to dispute the item. The account should ideally be listed as “paid in full.”

SUMMARY: Save up a lump sum. Send a debt negotiation letter Negotiate back and forth. Obtain a debt settlement letter. Check your credit report.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The final piece to remove is the piano harp. It is attached to the piano body with bolts and screws. Work your way around the whole harp and remove all the screws you see. Then lift the harp off to complete the piano disassembly. On some upright pianos, the harp is glued down to the wood. In this case, even if you remove all the screws, you won’t be able to get the harp out. Remember that the strings should be loose before you remove the harp.
