Summarize the following:
A warm compress may help alleviate ear pain. Use a clean washcloth soaked in warm water and place the washcloth over the ear.  Replace the washcloth often, every 15 to 20 minutes, or as needed. You can also press a warm bottle or warm bag of salt over the ear. Olive oil is a great home remedy for ear infection pain. Warm one teaspoon of olive oil, making sure that it does not get too hot. You don’t want to burn the ear. Using a medicine dropper, add three to four drops of the warmed oil to the affected ear.  Repeat three to four times a day. Alternately, you can also soak a small piece on cotton in the olive oil and place the cotton in your ear. Repeat 3-4 times a day. Always warm the oils to about body temperature.  You can test the temperature by dropping a bit of the oil on your wrist.  Be very careful about warming the oil because it can cause serious damage to the inner ear if it is too hot. The best way to warm oils is to pour some into a dropper bottle and let the dropper bottle stand in an inch or so of heated water until it is warm. A few herbal oils can act as natural antibiotics and have antiviral properties. Mullein oil is traditionally used for earaches, and has soothing and antibacterial properties. It can be purchased online or at an herbal store.   Using calendula in ear drops can also be used to help relieve pain. Make sure to talk to your doctor before using any herbal remedies on children. Garlic oil has antibacterial and antiviral properties and has been used for centuries to treat ear infections. You can make your own garlic oil by warming up one teaspoon of fresh, minced, or crushed garlic in one tablespoon of olive oil. Let it infuse for 15 minutes and run it through a fine mesh sieve. You can mix the remaining oil with an equal amount of olive oil or just use the garlic oil. Use three to four drops in each affected ear three to four times a day.  You can also slice some garlic and put the garlic pieces in a cloth or paper towel. Place the garlic pouch on the ear. You can secure it by tying around your head with something, like a piece of cloth. Make sure whatever you put the garlic in allows the garlic to seep into the ear, but keeping it from directly touching the skin.  Make sure to talk to your pediatrician before using garlic in your child’s ear. Ginger can be used to relieve pain as well.  Mince or crush one teaspoon of fresh ginger and add it to one tablespoon of olive oil. Let it infuse for 15 minutes and run it through a sieve. Use three to four drops in each affected ear three to four times a day. Speak with your doctor before using ginger to help your child’s ear infection. Cut up half an onion and gently heat it in some olive oil. When the onion is soft, let it cool before pouring it into a cotton cloth. Fold the cloth so that the onion doesn’t fall out, and place the compress over the ear, allowing the warm onion juice to flow into the ear.  Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat every three to four hours. Honey has antibacterial and healing properties, so you can use it to help relieve ear pain. Warm up some honey and put three to four drops into the affected ear. Make sure the honey is not too hot. You don’t want to burn your ear. Repeat three to four times a day.

summary: Try a warm compress. Try an olive oil treatment. Use herbal oils. Try garlic. Use ginger. Make an onion compress. Use honey.

Most sofa cushions, even cushions that are attached to the frame of the couch, have zippers that can be unzipped. Inside, you will see a couch cushion. If your sofa cushions have no zippers, you could open the pillow with a thread cutter. You should use either quilt batting or polyester fiberfill. Both polyester fiberfill and quilt batting can be purchased at a craft store or at a large store that sells home goods, like Walmart. Insert more foam, spreading it around to make it smooth and even. You can put it around the current couch cushion but inside the pillowcase. If it is badly worn, you may need to replace the foam.  If your cushions are filled with loose stuffing, stuff them with polyester fiberfill. You do not need to take any of the current stuffing out of the pillows. Use your hand to distribute it evenly. If they are more like pillows, you can wrap them with quilt batting. Take the pillow out of the pillowcase and wrap it in the quilt batting. You can use an adhesive spray (purchased at a craft store) to secure the quilt batting to the current pillow. If you have just a cushion inside the pillowcase, you can still add loose stuffing. Spread the polyester fiberfill evenly around the pillow to make sure that the pillow is not lumpy. When you stuff the cushions, use your hand to spread the stuffing evenly around. Put pillows back in the cushion covers and zip. Give them a good fluff and put them back on the couch. They should be plumper, more aesthetically pleasing, and more comfortable. If you opened your pillows with a thread cutter, you should sew the pillow back together again at the end of the stuffing process.

summary: Unzip your cushions. Add more stuffing your couch cushions. Zip them up again.

Before you can do an around the world, you need to be confident juggling the ball. Practice bouncing a soccer ball up and down on your foot as many times as you can. Pretend you have a ball bouncing on your foot. Practice making a circular motion with your foot moving around “the ball” in the air. You want to do one smooth motion in which you juggle the ball up and then rotate your foot around it. Start with the ball cradled on top of your dominant foot. Toss it up into the air with your foot and practice getting your foot all the way up and around the ball, then catching it. Once you’ve gotten this down, you can move on to doing an around the world while juggling the ball. Don’t feel bad if you don’t get the trick down right away. It may take you days or weeks to get it down. Stay calm and focused, and keep practicing until you succeed.
summary: Practice juggling a soccer ball. Try the movement without a ball. Attempt an around the world without juggling the ball. Keep practicing.
