INPUT ARTICLE: Article: During mindfulness meditation, you will pay focused and intentional attention to the way you are feeling, in order to relax the body and mind. It is important not to judge or analyze the thoughts and feelings that pop into your head while performing mindfulness meditation, just note them and let them go by. The center of your focus should be the physical sensations you are experiencing in the present moment, as you lie in bed. Get ready for bed, darken your room, and prepare to go to sleep. Begin your meditation by taking 5 long breaths, in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Focus on the sensation of breathing, as your chest expands and your lungs fill with air. As you breathe out, imagine exhaling the events and thoughts of the day along with the air. Take a moment to reflect on how your body and mind are feeling. Take your time with this step and don't become concerned by the flood of thoughts that may occur, just take a few moments to observe them and let them rush by. This is not the time to try to solve problems. If you feel yourself worrying about something, just observe the concern and move on. You can try to work out solutions to issues the next day, when you are well-rested and refreshed. Begin by concentrating on the points of contact between your body and the bed. Is your weight equally distributed? Think about how your head is resting on your pillow, and how the blankets lie against your feet. Listen to any sounds you can hear, including your own breath. Observe the temperature of the room, and the way the air is circulating around your face. Does it feel light or heavy? Are you experiencing any tension or pain? Mentally scan your body from head to toe, thinking about areas of tension, and intentionally tensing and then relaxing them, as you might do in a progressive muscle relaxation exercise. Repeat the body scan process several times, if needed, to relax any tense muscles. Pay attention to the rhythm as you inhale and exhale. Focus on the physical sensations of breathing, and the sounds that your breath makes. If your mind starts to wander, return to the focus of the rising and falling of your chest. Take a few minutes to remember and relive the way your day unfolded, from the moment you got up in the morning, to the present moment. Fast-forward through the day, observe and recollect conversations and what you did, but don't analyze or overthink. Once your review of the day has caught up with the present, where you are lying in bed, return to the sensations of your body and your breath. Beginning with the toes of your left foot, think about each part of your body for a moment, and give it permission to "switch off" or "go to sleep." Travel from your toes, up your leg, to your waist, then repeat with the other leg. Then continue to check-in with your torso, and each arm, beginning with your finger, and working your way up to your shoulders and neck. Finish with your throat, face and head. With your body at rest, your mind will soon follow. Allow your thoughts to wander as they will, knowing you will wake up feeling refreshed and relaxed. Many people fall asleep long before this last step. If you have not, don't worry. Just remember that your body wants to sleep as much as you do, and that it will eventually happen. Just relax and try not to force it.

SUMMARY: Understand mindfulness meditation. Lie down and get comfortable. Breathe. Check in with your feelings. Focus your on attention on your physical body. Think about how your body feels. Focus again on your breathing. Review the events of the day in a structured fashion. Return your focus to your body. Switch off your body.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You need to buy a microSD card or a microSDHC card. These are the SD cards that will work with the NOOK. The SD card should be 16GB or 32GB for maximum memory storage. Locate the USB port on your nook and carefully use a fingernail or thin tool to pop the grey back of your nook away from the USB port. Then, gently slide your finger around the nook popping the entire back plate off of the nook. Power off the NOOK before opening the back of the device. Next to the nook's battery, there is a metal rectangle with the words microSD printed above it. This is the space you will install the microSD card into. Use your fingernail to gently push the microSD card into the storage slot. Do not force or bend the SD card to get it to go into place. If the card does not fit, make sure you have a microSD card and not a standard or miniSD card. You may receive a message when you turn on your NOOK that the SD card is not formatted to the device. If so, you must format the card to be able to use it. Tap the "Format Now" option to format the card. Formatting an SD card will remove any files that were stored on it previously.

SUMMARY: Buy a microSD card. Open the back of your nook. Locate the microSD space. Slide the microSD card into the slot. Format the microSD card to your NOOK.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're interested in buying a used car with finances owed, you may want to first insist that the seller pays off his debt before you give him any money. You may want to suggest that the seller take out a personal loan to cover the costs, in order to secure the title before you buy it from him. If you insist that the seller pays off his loans before you buy the vehicle, make sure you get a signed, written proof of payment from the seller's bank or financing company. If you can, accompany the seller to the bank or financial institution so that you can oversee the process and know for certain that the vehicle's loans have been paid in full. If you cannot get something in writing from the bank verifying that the loans were paid in full, you may want to run another search through PPSR or HPI, if those options are available where you will be purchasing the vehicle. This will allow you to verify that the loans have been settled. If you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, try to renegotiate the price you would pay to the seller, after factoring in how much he still owes on the vehicle's loans. Subtract the amount that the seller owes to the bank from the price you initially thought was a reasonable sales price for the vehicle. Offer to pay the seller that amount, after you've paid off the remainder of the seller's loan to the bank or financial institution who has a lien on the vehicle. Have the seller send a dated payout quote directly to you. Once you've paid off the loan, and given any remaining money to the seller after agreeing on a price, you can have the title transferred to your name. If you worry about the seller not holding his end of the agreement to pay off his car loans, you can always set up an escrow account. This would hold your money for a stipulated period of time, during which the seller must pay off his loans and transfer the title to you in order to receive your money. In the United States, the Department of Motor Vehicles recommends using PaySAFE Escrow. Set up an account at https://paysafeescrow.com/car-escrow. Create a transaction, and have the seller agree to the terms and conditions. Deposit your money. PaySAFE will not release the money to the seller until the loans have been settled and the title is ready to change hands. By getting a dealership involved, you ensure that there will be a paper trail that proves all payments were made and that ownership is legal. You may have to pay more, as the dealer will want to make a profit by buying the car from the seller and in turn selling it to you, but you will have peace of mind with your purchase. Expect this to be a costlier option, as the dealer will want to make some money from the sale. You could ask the seller to pay the dealer out of his or her profits, so that you do not end up having to pay more for the car.

SUMMARY:
Ask the seller to pay. Renegotiate the price. Set up an escrow account. Ask a dealer to broker the sale.
