Q: If your brass-plate is lacquer-coated, you may have reason to want to remove it. Cracking in the lacquer can lead to tarnishing on the surface beneath the coating. The best way to remove lacquer is through boiling.  Place the item in a pot filled with the water. The pot should not be aluminum. Add a couple of spoonfuls of both washing soda and baking soda. Boil the item. You can either boil the item until the lacquer comes off, or you can heat it up enough that the brass expands, then let it cool. Once it cools, the lacquer should be easy to peel off, since it won't shrink back like the brass does while cooling. Lacquer thinner will also remove the coating if you'd like to take it off your brass-plated item. Rub the thinner in. Keep rubbing until you see the lacquer coming off the brass. If your brass-plated piece tarnishes easily, you can use oils to help prevent that. On a clean, dry item, rub in a little linseed oil or mineral oil. Use a soft cloth to prevent scratching, and only apply a thin coating.
A: Take off lacquer by boiling. Remove lacquer with a lacquer thinner. Use oil to prevent tarnishing.

Article: Do you consider your parents to be generally anxious people? Do they tend to worry about small details in day-to-day life in addition to you? Many overprotective parents have preexisting issues with anxiety that may make them extra vigilant regarding their kids. Try to understand your parents have your best interests at heart. Accept that anxiety, over which your parents likely have little control, is a major factor in how they behave towards you. If you want your parents to worry less, show them you're responsible. Making small changes to your day-to-day routine can help your parents see they do not have to worry.  If you live at home, approach your parents as soon as possible if you're asking for permission to go somewhere. Be upfront about who you'll be with and how long you'll be out. Your parents will appreciate your maturity.  Be aware that adults often follow many of the same rules they apply to you. For instance, it can be troubling to simply disappear and not let the people who care about you know where you are, even as an adult. Adults let each other know where they are going if they are in loving, healthy relationships. If you want to be treated as a mature individual, then show your parents you are trustworthy and considerate. Do your homework without prompting. Strive to eat healthier meals. Do day-to-day chores. Show your parents you are mature. This will help lessen their anxiety about the decisions you make.  If you live away from home, try to fill your parents in on your accomplishments and small indications you're capable of taking care of yourself. Did you eat a particularly healthy meal this week? Clean your apartment? Did you make the Dean's list this semester? Try to mention this during your weekly phone calls home. Remember, sometimes your parents do know best. They are older and have had more life experience. If you're confused about something, it's okay to seek out your parents advice and be open to what they have to say. If your parents see you're mature enough to seek advice when necessary, they may worry about your decisions less.

Consider the role of anxiety in overprotective parents. Show your parents you're capable of making good choices. Be open to advice on occasion.

Problem: Article: In other words, schedule time for casual play as well.  Even if it feels like you don’t have the time to spare, it’s important to take a break to let your mind recuperate.  You can’t always work and study!  Ideally, plan social activities with friends – the more physically active, the better.  Even on especially busy days, take breaks.  Go for a walk around the block, and leave your phone at home.  Try not to think about what you’re working on. Instead, appreciate the way the sun and air feel on your skin, the color of the leaves, the angles of a building you’ve never noticed before. Try working for about 50 minutes, and taking a 10 or 15 minute break before hunkering down for another 50 minute session of focused studying or working. Plan a trip – whether to Vegas, or a campsite just out of town – to follow an especially busy period of time.  Not only will the trip allow you to decompress, it will provide something for you to look forward to in the meantime. Your body requires maintenance to be able to run on all cylinders, and to allow your mind to stay focused throughout the day.  In particular, make a point of scheduling three to four 30 minute cardio sessions every week.  If you don’t know when to schedule them, try getting up a bit earlier and going for a jog before you start the day. Though it may be challenging to include exercise in your routine initially, stick with it! You’ll soon be looking forward to each session! It’s often tempting to stay up later, cramming in a bit more study time or a final prep session to prepare for work the following day. However, it’s often more important to ensure you’re getting enough sleep.  Specific requirements vary from person to person, but shoot for eight hours a night.  Learn the specific amount of you need by sleeping without an alarm for three days in a row next chance you get.  The amount of time you naturally sleep for on the second and third nights is likely what your body requires. Try to get at least seven hours a night. If you find yourself sleeping in on the weekends, this is a sign you need more sleep during the week. Another trap of busy work and study lifestyle is eating grab and go meals that may be quick, but are often unhealthy.  Instead of hitting a fast food restaurant for lunch, slip into a grocery store and grab some hummus with veggies or a pre-made salad.  Grab a few pieces of fruit as well, to eat later in the afternoon, both as a healthy treat and an energy boost.  Eat breakfast.  Not only will this help sustain you throughout the day, it keeps your metabolism in a healthy rhythm.  Try whole grain granola with Greek yogurt, sweetened with honey or fruit. Keep healthy snacks with you. Raw or lightly salted nuts are a great option. If you’re constantly stressed, tired, or otherwise not feeling well, you may need to slow down a bit.  Whenever you’re feeling overworked, talk to your boss about taking a week off from work. Use the time to catch up on rest and focus on your school assignments.  On the other hand, if the amount of coursework you have is detrimentally affecting your standing at work, talk to a school counselor about your options or plan to take less credit hours next term.
Summary: Take time to decompress. Exercise. Get plenty of rest. Eat with health and energy in mind. Know your limits.
