Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Connect the device to your PC with a different USB cable. Connect the device to a different USB port. Make sure the iPod is charged. Update iTunes. Update Windows.

Answer: It is possible that the cable you are using is defective. In some cases, using an uncertified charging cable can result in reduced functionality. It is possible that the USB port you are using is defective. Try both different ports and buses on the computer.  If you are using a desktop (tower) PC with both front and rear USB ports, you can often use one set even if the other is malfunctioning, since they are usually connected to a different bus. If you have both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, they usually utilize separate USB chips and will function separately. If you are using a USB hub, try using a root port on the computer instead. This will tell you whether the hub or the computer bus is at the heart of the problem. If the iPod battery is completely depleted, it may not be detected until it is charged enough to power on. Connect the iPod to a wall charger for a faster charge than via USB. In iTunes, open the “Help” menu and select “Check for Updates”.  You may need to hit Ctrl+B to make the menu bar appear. You can also download the latest version of iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. Later versions of iTunes may utilize a newer version of the Apple Mobile Device Driver. Open Windows Settings and Select “Update and Security”. Click “Check for Updates” to receive the latest updates to your operating system.  Updates to Windows may include updates to USB chips or other relevant software. On older versions of Windows, look for Windows Update in the Control Panel.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try lavender. Drink chamomile tea. Bring some melatonin. Take valerian root.

Answer: Lavender is a scientifically proven natural calming fragrance and nighttime sprays are available at your local health store. Just spray a little on your pillow and find yourself floating off to sleep. Chamomile is an excellent calming tea that for some is a powerful, all natural sleep-aid. It is most potent if you can find it in bulk, organic form but even tea bags will help ease you into a fitful sleep. A hormone that controls sleep, melatonin is a safe, all natural sleep aid that works wonders. Take a low dose, approximately .3-.5mg, before bed and relax. Another all natural sleep remedy, numerous studies have found that valerian improves every facet of sleep including the ability to fall asleep. About 200-800mg before bed should do the trick. A small percentage of people, roughly 10%, get the reverse effect from valerian, meaning it gives them energy. Try this one at home ahead of time to make sure it has the right effect on you.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Obtain a grain mill for grinding large amounts of corn. Purchase an electronic grinder for preparing smaller batches.

Answer: Electric and hand-operated grain mills are the probably your best options since they’ll allow you the greatest degree of control for your effort. Note that hand-operated grain mills may require considerable strength to use, especially when grinding something as large and coarse as corn. Purchase a grain mill at a large hardware store or through a major online retailer. If you don’t have an actual grain mill, high-powered blenders (Blendtec, Vitamix, etc.) may also work. Standard blenders are not strong enough to grind up dehydrated corn, and you should avoid using one for this process. For preparing small amounts of cornmeal, you could also use a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, or coffee grinder.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Build a self-care “emergency” kit. Take a relaxing bath. Wear comfortable clothes like sweatpants and loose shirts. Slow down and avoid rushing.

Answer:
Fill a container with candles, your favorite hot drink, a book you enjoy, and a big blanket. If you have a rough day at work, come home and open your kit to wind down and ease into relaxation. The items in your kit could be whatever helps you relax. If crafting helps, fill your box with craft materials. Puzzles and games can also help you slow down and make you calmer. Sometimes at the end of the day, the best way to relax is a hot bubble bath. Keep the lights low and keep a few candles in the bathroom for extra ambiance. Soak in the tub until you feel a deep sense of calm.  If you can, read a book while laying in the tub for additional ease of mind. Epsom salts help relieve aches and pains on top of being aromatherapeutic. Use a eucalyptus or lavender scented Epsom in your bath for total comfort. One of the most important aspects of hygge is feeling warm and cozy. Wear clothes that are too big for you that store heat or thick wool socks that make walking a comfort. If you live in an area too warm to bundle up, wear loose-fitting clothes so you can relax without feeling restricted. A main concept of hygge is taking the time to focus on the ‘now’ rather than what will happen in the future. If you take an extra 10 minutes when you’re relaxing, you’ll savor the moments and melt the stresses away.  Wake up earlier to enjoy time drinking coffee or doing a crossword in your nook. Eat your food slower to enjoy the flavor and spend more time with your delicious meal.
