Summarize the following:
If you just took a shower, wait until any soapy water has drained. Heat a saucepan or kettle full of water until it reaches boiling. Then, pour the boiling hot water down the drain. Hot water will flush the drain and prepare it for the baking soda mixture. Dump the baking soda directly into the drain. Let it sit for a few minutes to make sure all of the dry powder has settled into the drain. The vinegar will immediately react with the baking soda and start to bubble. Use the hot water to flush as much of the vinegar back into the drain as you can. Alternatively, you can mix the baking soda and vinegar in a measuring cup and pour it immediately down the drain. Be sure to add hot water to flush the mixture down the drain. Allow it to sit for at least 1 hour, or overnight if you can. The fizzing will help remove any grime that has been building up. The longer you leave the mixture in the pipes, the more buildup it will be able to dissolve. Boil approximately 2 to 4 cups (0.5 to 1 L) of water. Remove the stopper, then pour the contents of the kettle down the shower drain at once. The water should remove the clog. You can also turn on the hot water tap of your tub and let it rinse out the remainder of the solution. If the baking soda and vinegar didn't remove everything, try snaking or plunging the drain. Remove any clogs close to the surface with your hands. If all else fails, call a plumber.

summary: Pour a pot of hot water down the drain. Pour 3/4 cup (292 g) of baking soda down the shower drain. Pour 1/2 cup (118 mL) of distilled white vinegar down the drain followed by 1/2 cup (118 mL) of hot water. Plug the drain with a rubber stopper while the chemical reaction takes place. Pour more hot water down the drain. Snake, plunge, or remove clogs with your hands if necessary.

The mental stimulation from reading can help improve thinking skills and memory. Reading improves your brain's mental flexibility, an important part of memory retention, by stimulating your entire mind and keeping every part of your brain active.  You don't need to read an entire book a day. At least 15-20 minutes of continuous reading can give you the mental benefits you need to be more intelligent. Listening to audio books is a convenient way to read every day. Reading more fiction will help you become better able to empathize with other people and view the world from their perspective, because novels and short stories encourage you to understand the motivations and points of view of multiple characters. The ability to understand other people requires a high degree of emotional intelligence, and fiction is an easy way to improve yours. Fiction also improves your cognitive flexibility by mentally placing you in different situations and settings, allowing you to imagine how you would respond. Reading the news keeps you informed and a steady diet of national, local, and international news will make you smarter, sharper, and more intelligent. Whether it's a traditional newspaper or a news app on your smartphone or tablet, aim to read at least the latest headlines for the day.
