Hold the fingers sideways, so that they lay across your throat. This is the sweet spot where you should begin your neckline. You’ll be leaving just enough growth beneath your jaw to ensure a natural transition without letting it get out of control.  If you’re having trouble finding the exact point, feel for the rigid lump in your windpipe, then slide your fingers up until they rest in the little groove at the top. Most stylists recommend that a beard should terminate about 1–1.5 inches (2.5–3.8 cm) above the midpoint of your neck. Take a mental snapshot of the exact point, or make a small mark with your clippers to serve as a reference. Shear off the beard’s lower extremities so that it forms one clean line straight across. Your neckline is every bit as important as the rest of your facial hair. A sloppy-looking neckbeard can sabotage an otherwise sophisticated style. Now it’s time to apply the finishing touches. Picture an imaginary line running beneath your chin in a shallow “U” shape.  Using your clippers, chip away at the remaining hair on both sides of your Adam’s apple. When you’re finished, your neckline should roughly mirror the shape of your jaw. Be careful not to start your neckline too high up. A lower jaw that’s completely hairless can make your beard look like it lacks coverage. Go back over the area you just buzzed to cut the coarse hair down to the skin. Not only will this leave your neckline looking pristine, it will also keep unwanted growth from returning quite so fast.  To prevent irritating razor burn, lather up with moisturizing shave gel and make your strokes with the grain, not against it.

One of the common treatments for Parkinson’s is physical activity. Regular physical activity or exercise may minimize your risk for developing the disease by about 30%. This may be especially true for people in their 30s and 40s, which is decades before Parkinson’s often develops. Try and get some type of physical activity most days of the week to try and reduce your Parkinson’s risk.  Do aerobic activity that gets your heart beating faster, which has a protective effect on brain tissue. Aim for least 75 minutes of vigorous activity or 150 minutes of moderate activity each week. This translates to about 30 minutes five days a week. Do exercises and activities that challenge your body and that you enjoy. Things like hiking, walking, jogging or running, swimming, or biking are great options. Activities like jumping rope or on a trampoline can also get your heart pumping. Exposing yourself to pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides may increase your risk of developing Parkinson’s. These compounds can mimic the same function as Parkinson’s in the brain: they kill neurons in a small part of the brain called the substantia nigra pars compacta. Avoid or limit your exposure to any pesticide as much as you can. Stay indoors if you are around an area being sprayed with insecticides. Like pesticides, petrochemical solvents such as paints and glues may increase your risk for Parkinson’s. Although the evidence isn’t entirely clear on the connection between the two, it’s advisable to steer clear of solvents as much as you possibly can.  Check product labels for the names of commonly used solvents including: isopropanol, toluene, xylene, white spirits, methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene. Make sure your employer uses safe practices if exposure to solvents is a part of your job. If not, contact OSHA at 1-800-321-6742 to file a report and set in motion getting proper protection from solvents.  Use low-volatility paints and glues if you can. Make sure any area exposed to solvents is adequately ventilated with open windows and fans. A strange fact about Parkinson’s is that people who smoke appear to be less likely to develop the disease; however, this is no reason to start smoking, because the harmful effects of smoking far outweigh any benefit you might gain against Parkinson’s. Recognize that the link between smoking and a lower risk of Parkinson’s is that tobacco is a nightshade plant. You can incorporate other healthy nightshades into your diet by eating veggies like peppers, cauliflower, eggplant, potatoes, and tomatoes.

A scrap magnet is a powerful magnet you can use to sort ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A regular household magnet won’t work. You’ll need to get a scrap magnet to properly sort your metals. Place the magnet against the surface of the scrap metal. Pull the magnet away. If the scrap metal sticks to the magnet, it’s a ferrous metal. If it doesn’t stick, it’s non-ferrous. This will make it easier to sort through the metals later. Ferrous metals always contain iron. You’ll know that your pile of ferrous metal is mostly all iron. Then you’ll just need to sort through the non-ferrous pile of metals. The metals in the non-ferrous pile will likely be more valuable. They could include metals like aluminum, lead, copper, and brass.

One-sentence summary -- Get a scrap magnet online. Test each piece of scrap metal with the magnet. Separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals into two piles.


The water needs to be deep enough to completely submerge your jar. If you are remove the label from more than one jar, the water needs to be deep enough to cover the largest jar. The hotter the water, the better it will dissolve the glue under the label. The longer you wait, the more time the vinegar will have to dissolve the glue under the label. About 30 minutes should be plenty for stubborn labels, but you can check your jars after 10 minutes.
