In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You have many options for domestic packages, including same-day delivery, next-business-day delivery, 2- or 3-business-day delivery, or ground delivery (1-5 business days). For international packages, you can choose fastest-possible delivery (1 business day), international priority (1-3 business days), or international economy (2-5 days). If you want to require a signature upon delivery for the package, you can select that option when choosing the delivery service. For items valued at less than $100, you need only declare the value on the shipping label and FedEx will pay you up to $100 to replace the item, if necessary. For more expensive items, you must declare the value and pay $0.90 per $100 of the value for insurance. If you end up needing to file a claim, you must provide proof-of-value for the lost item. If FedEx damages or loses a package you sent, provide the purchase receipt and fill out a claim form online at http://www.fedex.com/us/fcl/pckgenvlp/online-claims/index.html. The shipping cost depends on the weight and size of the package as well as the delivery service you choose. In the store, you can use cash, check, or a debit/credit card. If you choose to print the label online, you'll need to pay with a debit/credit card or do an electronic funds transfer before you can print out the label.

Summary: Determine how quickly you'd like the package to arrive. Purchase insurance in case of loss or damage. Pay the shipping costs.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Cooking the cornstarch first and then adding it to the mixture is an easy way to thicken a sauce or soup if you've found that it isn't thick enough. Cooking the cornstarch mixture alone isn't really any different than cooking it with the mixture. You should essentially follow the same instructions. The only difference is that you pour the cornstarch mixture into an empty pot and then add it to the liquid after it has started to bubble. After cooking the cornstarch mixture, add it to a heated up liquid. You have more control because you can as little or as much mixture to the liquid as you'd like. This is the easiest and fastest method for thickening a liquid. It is best to use this method if you know for sure that you need to thicken your liquid. It is best to add the cornstarch mixture to a liquid that is only a few minutes away from being finished. Add the cornstarch mixture to a liquid that has been thoroughly stirred and simmering. Turn up the setting to a medium heat setting because the cornstarch mixture will thicken the best when it is lightly boiling. Using too much heat, however, can thin out and break down the sauce. If you are only cooking the cornstarch mixture, you should pour it in a pan and turn it to medium heat. Allow the cornstarch and liquid mixture to lightly boil for 5 or 10 minutes. After this amount of time, it should begin to bubble and thicken. Let it cook for longer if it doesn't appear to have thickened. Use a stirring utensil, like a wooden spoon, once the cornstarch and liquid mixture begins to bubble. Stir the cornstarch and liquid for about two more minutes. This will allow the cornstarch to be completely cooked. Then, remove the pot from the heat.
Summary: Add a cooked cornstarch mixture to liquids for more control. Add an uncooked cornstarch mixture to liquids for a quick fix. Turn the stove to a medium heat setting. Cook until the cornstarch and liquid mixture begins to bubble. Stir the cornstarch and liquid mixture for two more minutes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the essentials when dealing with minor cuts and scrapes, is a variety of sizes and types of bandaging materials. Having multiple options from which to choose will make your first aid efforts simpler. Place all your bandages in a clear, zip-close bag clearly labeled in permanent marker. Include: 25 adhesive bandages of various sizes Five 3" x 3" and five 4" x 4" gauze pads A roll of cloth adhesive tape Two 5" x 9" sterile dressings One 3" wide and one 4" wide roller bandage (ace bandage) Two triangular bandages Be ready for plucking splinters, cutting bandages, and other first aid activities without having to rummage through the junk drawer. Place these in a marked zip-close bag as well. Definitely include: Small, sharp scissors Tweezers Two pairs of non-latex gloves Non-mercury oral thermometer Cotton balls and swabs CPR breathing barrier mask Instant cold compress First aid instruction booklet Hand sanitizer Cleansing wipes (for external cleaning only) Zip-close plastic bags (to dispose of medical waste) If you have a roomy kit, think about adding non-essential but useful medical tools in an additional, marked bag. These might include: Eye protection Prepackaged space (warming) blanket Aluminum finger splint Duct tape Petroleum jelly Sewing needle Safety pins Turkey baster (for flushing out wounds) Keep these separate from bandages and tools, and clearly marked. Check expiration dates regularly. You should be able to find travel / trial / first aid kit sized packs of most of the following: Aloe vera gel Calamine lotion Anti-diarrheal medication Laxatives Antacids Antihistamines Pain relievers (aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen) Hydrocortisone cream Cough / cold medicine Consider including small doses of prescription medications for each member of your family, especially in car / travel kits, in small, clearly marked containers with instructions for each. Keep close track of prescription medication expiration dates. If anyone in your family has severe allergies and a prescription for an epi-pen, keep one in the home kit with instructions, so a visitor could provide assistance in an emergency. Even for home kits, keeping a small stock of personalized medical supplies a bee sting kit, for example can prove useful if your medicine cabinet supply happens to be depleted.
Summary:
Include an array of bandages. Add basic medical tools. Consider adding additional tools as well. Make a separate section for medications. Personalize your kit with family medications.
