Summarize the following:
You can hang up mirrors, decorate with glass or metallic vases, and display reflective artwork around your home. Reflective surfaces will help spread natural light throughout your living space, making it brighter inside. In addition to brightening up your home, mirrors can make a space seem bigger than it actually is. Dark walls trap sunlight and make a room appear darker, while the opposite is true of light-colored walls, especially walls that are white. By painting your walls a shade of white (or a light neutral color, like gray or beige), more light will bounce off of them, which will make your home brighter.  If you don't want to paint the whole interior of your home white, choose the one or two darkest rooms and paint just those. You might want to go with an off-white shade. Sometimes, pure white can look too sterile and cold on interior walls. Your furniture can also reflect or absorb sunlight depending on what color and shade it is. The lighter your furniture, the brighter your home will be, so consider swapping out any dark couches, chairs, tables, or rugs with lighter alternatives.  If you don't want to get all new furniture, cover your existing furniture with white or gray slipcovers to quickly brighten it up. If you have a dark dining room or coffee table but don't want to get rid of it, drape a light-colored runner or table cloth over it so it reflects more natural light. Carpet doesn't do a good job of reflecting natural light. Since sunlight often shines through windows and down onto the floors, having reflective floors can really brighten things up in your home.  For the best results, go with wooden, stone, or ceramic floors that have a glossy finish. The glossy finish will make them even more reflective. If you prefer carpet, consider switching to a lighter-colored carpet to brighten things up.

summary: Use glass, metallic, and mirrored decor to reflect more light around your home. Paint your walls a shade of white so they reflect more natural light. Get some white or light-colored furniture and rugs to brighten up your space. Replace carpet with wood, stone, or ceramic flooring since it's more reflective.

There are a lot of different signs and ideas behind spirits, and determining if your home possesses one is often the hardest thing to do, as the signs can be confusing and conflicting. What is important to remember is that very, very few houses are every possessed, and even fewer are visited by "evil" spirits, contrary to what Hollywood seems to think. Look out for:  Moving or disappearing and reappearing possessions, especially similar objects or the same object. Electronics turning on and off on their own. Unknown footsteps, doors/windows opening and closing, strange noises or voices. A feeling like you are not alone ever, often combined with chills and sudden fear or panic. Specific or recurring nightmares, especially those that seem to direct you to do something. Extremely hot or cold spaces in the house, often confined to small areas. This is the only way to keep your peace of mind if things get a little strange. Be scientific here, systematically examining or exploring where unknown noises or lights show up. No matter what you believe, a large dose of skepticism is healthy here. The need for exorcisms is rare -- and there are almost always common explanations for most "unexplainable" phenomenon.  Houses, no matter how old, all "settle" over time. The pieces shift and groan, boards move, and pipes whistle and bang. Older houses do this constantly, and this is the source of most noises. Strange odors and smells commonly come from leaks or trapped moisture somewhere, especially after rains or floods. Open windows, cleaning, and plain bad communication are the cause of most missing objects, not spirits. No one wants to be told "it is all in their head," but that's why you simply must be honest with yourself when determining if it is a spirit or not. If you're already stressed out, not sleeping well, having trouble eating, or feeling generally under the weather, you are more likely to see and feel things out of the ordinary. Don't let the worry of a spirit ruin your mental and physical health -- keep taking care of yourself and spend some time relaxing. If the spirits fade away, they were likely the result of an overworked, overtired brain and body. What happens if you push the spirit out of your mind, since we frequently only see "signs" of ghosts and demons when we're looking for them? Remind yourself how rare these spirits really are and that anything you're worried about is likely a common occurrence or noise. Try to let the idea of a spirit ease off your mind. If things still happen or occur more rapidly, you might have an issue to investigate. More often than not, however, the "spirits" will disappear as soon as you stop thinking about them. If there are spirits, they generally need and feed off of your attention, looking to make themselves known. Ignoring them generally keeps them in check if they are actually present. If you are under a lot of emotional and psychological stress because of a perceived spirit, open up to your spiritual leaders and ask their opinion and advice. You may want to consider inviting a psychic/medium to your home to "have a look" and determine if you need extra help.  Oftentimes all the house needs is a quick energy clearing with a smudging stick or some incense.

summary: Keep an eye out for typically paranormal behavior in your house. Rule out the obvious causes of "other-worldly" noises  and issues first. Take an honest appraisal of your own health and stress levels. Ignore the alleged spirits as much as possible, not even giving them a passing thought. Have a religious leader, medium, or psychic examine the house if you are still unsure.


Summarize the following:
If the car you’re painting is heavily dented, the first thing you’ll need to do is to remove as many dents as you can to smooth out your painting surface. Glue an appropriately-sized suction cup to the center of the dent using a hot glue gun and wait 1-2 minutes for the glue to harden. Then, pull firmly yet gently on the retractable tab until the metal returns to its original shape.  You can pick up a dent repair kit from any auto supply store for just a few dollars. In certain places, like the hood, trunk, and rear panels, it may be possible to pound out dents from the inside of the body using a hammer and dolly. Mix your filler material to a cream consistency on a mixing board or piece of scrap cardboard. Then, spread it over any irregular areas in the body of the car using a clean spreader or buffing pad. It will help fill in these areas, resulting in a smooth, level painting surface.  Make sure you use enough putty to fill in each damaged spot completely. To deal with smaller imperfections like pinholes, try a glazing putty. Glaze putties are thinner than ordinary fillers, which allows them to penetrate into places that thicker products can’t. This will typically take 10-30 minutes, depending on the product you’re working with and the amount you’ve applied. In the meantime, avoid handling the putty. Otherwise, you may accidentally smudge an area you just repaired.  Body filler materials don’t technically “dry,” they cure via chemical reaction. For this reason, a heat lamp or hair dryer can come in handy to help speed things along.  Some body filler materials double as primers, which means you can paint right over them as soon as they’ve cured. Be sure to read the specifications on the product you’re using—it could end up saving you a lot of time. Once your putty has had time to cure completely, go over it with a sheet of sandpaper 150-180-grit sandpaper. Be sure to sand in all different directions, using vertical, lateral, and circular strokes to produce a seamless finish.  While sanding your filler material, it’s especially important to feather the edges to minimize the chances of lines or ridges showing up in the finished paint. A block sander can make smoothing large areas easier and more comfortable.
summary: Pull out large dents using a dent repair kit. Fill in gouges, dings, and depressions with body filler putty. Wait for your filler material to harden. Sand the edges around the hardened filler to smooth it out.
