Problem: Article: According to the US Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service, you should not cook at less than 325 °F (163 °C). You can cook the corned beef similar to how you cook a turkey, in order to seal in the juices.  If you are using a bag, you should add 1 tbsp. of flour to the bag and shake it around before adding the brisket. Place the bagged corned beef brisket on a cooking sheet. Roasting the brisket with some water will give you more chances to check for doneness, although some of the natural juices will escape with the dry heat.  Always cook with the fat side up. Fill the lower pan with water. It should cover approximately 1 inch (2.5cm) of the bottom of the brisket. Adding water will improve the moisture of the meat.  Cover the roasting pan. If you do not have a cover, you can use foil to keep the moisture inside. The following instructions should help you ensure the corned beef will be done in time for dinner.  If you are using a bag, cook for 2.5 to 3 hours for a 2 to 3 lb (0.9 to 1.4kg) brisket. Cook for 3.5 hours for a 3.5 to 5 lb (1.6 to 2.3kg) brisket. If you are using the roasting pan method, cook for 1 hour per lb. (0.5kg) of meat. Set it on the stovetop and remove it from the bag, if necessary. If the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius), you can remove it from the heat source and serve it. Aim for an internal temperature between 145 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit (63 to 71 degrees Celsius).
Summary: Pre-heat your oven to 325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (163 to 177 degrees Celsius). Place the beef brisket inside a bag, if desired. Opt to cook the brisket in a roasting pan. Set a timer for proper roasting times. Remove the brisket from the oven when the timer beeps. Insert your meat thermometer into the center of the brisket.

Open some kind of savings account, with as high an interest rate as you can find, and set up a direct debit every month. Include the debit in your monthly budget so you are prepared for it.  Consider opening an account with your local credit union.  Having a direct debit is a great way to save money without really thinking about it. The money is transferred automatically, and you’ll be surprised how quickly it begins to accumulate. Your employer may have a payroll savings scheme whereby a deduction from your pay slip goes straight to a savings account. Having a savings account and a direct debit is a great way to make saving a habit that you incorporate into your budget. You can also make saving money or shopping more frugally part of your everyday life. Check the prices of different items in shops, and take a moment to think if you could get the same thing cheaper somewhere else.  Just being conscious and aware of prices, and the money you could potentially save, will help you to make saving money a habit. Keep an eye out for special offers, and take advantage of them when they suit your needs. The sooner you get into the habit of saving money and budgeting the closer you are to achieving financial independence. To really get a grip on your finances and ensure you will be supported in the future, it’s sensible to start planning for retirement early. Social security payments on their own will generally only cover about 40% of an average worker’s salary after he retires. It is estimated that you will need around 70% of your salary to live comfortably in retirement, so it’s important to start saving.  Investigate whether your employer has a pension plan, and make sure you are taking advantages of any employer contributions. If your employer doesn’t have a plan suggest the company starts one. You can save for yourself by opening an Individual Retirement Account. You can put in up to $5,500 a year into this account, or more if you are 50 or over. These accounts provide tax efficient and easy ways to save for retirement. You can arrange for an amount to be paid automatically from your checking or savings account. If you find that you are saving successfully and have managed to put aside a good amount of money, you might want to try and get a better return than the interest you are earning. Some low-risk and modest investments can help you get a better return and make your savings work harder for you. Government bonds are a well-known example of a relatively low risk investment.  There is little capital risk with the bonds, but there is risk that the money will have less buying power when the bond matures as a result of inflation.  You can look up all the different options and yields online.  If you are interested in making some investments, consider talking to a financial adviser about your options.  Be sure that you keep saving in the meantime and don’t take any risks with money that could threaten your financial independence.
Summary: Open a savings account. Make saving a habit. Start saving for retirement. Consider frugal investments.

Problem: Article: Blepharitis is the inflammation of the eyelids on one or both eyes. This inflammation can cause watery, red, itchy, swollen eyes, accompanied by crusted eyelashes when you wake up, sensitivity to light, and more frequent blinking. Apply a warm washcloth over your eyes for about 5 minutes to loosen the crust in your eyelashes. Then, use a warm washcloth and mild cleanser to gently wipe away any oil and debris from your eyelids. Lay down on your back with your eyes open. Apply 1 to 2 drops of eye drops in each eye, and then blink your eyes until your vision clears. You can use the eye drops to reduce the amount of itchiness and irritation in your eyes. Look for lubricating eye drops at any drug store. If you deal with dandruff, it may be contributing to your blepharitis. Pick up an anti-dandruff shampoo to use on your hair to make your blepharitis go away quickly. Dandruff is linked to blepharitis because dandruff on your scalp can lead to dandruff on your eyebrows, which can clog the glands in your eyelids. Try taking fish oil supplements or eating more salmon, tuna, flaxseed, and walnuts in your daily diet. Omega-3s may help to decrease the symptoms that surround blepharitis, especially if you have rosacea.
Summary:
Look for watery, red eyes that are more sensitive to light. Wash your eyelids every day. Use lubricating eye drops. Control your dandruff with anti-dandruff shampoo. Increase your intake of omega-3 to prevent blepharitis in the future.
