Problem: Article: A contract is revoked when one of the parties dies. If you do not personally know the other party, you can check for death records at the national Vital Records website. Performance will be excused if circumstances have changed so that it is either impossible or impracticable to perform. However, the changed circumstances cannot be the doing of one of the parties. Impossibility often occurs after a contract is created. For example, if you have a contract to have your house painted, but your house burns down, it becomes impossible to paint your house. Impracticality occurs when changed conditions would make performance increasingly expensive or difficult. For example, if you have contracted a wedding photographer for a local wedding then decide to elope to Hawaii, it becomes impracticable to expect that the photographer would honor the original contract under the new conditions. (Furthermore, you may be in breach of contract if the original contract specified a location). Frustration of purpose is a legal way to terminate a contract if the reason behind someone entering into a contract changes. It is necessary that both parties are aware of the purpose in order to claim frustration of purpose. For example, if you live next door to a famous rodeo venue, you may want to rent out your basement for a party before or after a rodeo takes place. If the rodeo is cancelled, the person who is contracted to rent your basement may be released from the contract due to frustration of purpose. If a party breaches a contract in a material way, then the other party is excused from performance. However, the breach must be "material"that is, it cannot be minor. It must strike at the "heart" of the contract. The non-breaching party must also be "able, ready, and willing" to perform. It is insufficient to merely claim that there is a breach if you are not prepared to perform your obligations under the contract. For example, if you contract to buy a vehicle "as is" but request that improvements be made, you are not "able, ready, and willing" to perform. In fact, you are attempting to change the contract.
Summary: Confirm that the parties are still living. Check if the contract is impossible or impracticable to perform. See if the contract's purpose has been frustrated. Identify a breach.

Problem: Article: Symptoms of IBS can be different for each person and vary in severity from one time to another. The most common symptoms of IBS are: Abdominal pain and cramping that may improve after a bowel movement Bloating and gas Constipation (which may alternate with diarrhea) Diarrhea (which may alternate with constipation) A strong urge to have a bowel movement Feeling as if you still need to have a bowel movement after you've already had one Mucus in the stool IBS is a "functional" digestive disorder. This means that the digestive system changes for unknown reasons. But, these changes don't actually damage the digestive system. Conditions that usually happen with IBS include: Mixed nerve transmissions between the brain and large intestine Problems with the way food is pushed through the digestive system (peristalsis) Depression, anxiety, and panic disorders Infections in the digestive system Bacterial overgrowths (like Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth [SIBO]) Changes in hormone levels Food sensitivities Since there's no diagnostic test, your doctor will do a physical exam. The doctor may order blood tests, stool tests, and imaging tests, depending on your specific situation. These tests can also rule out other health conditions. If your doctor believes you have IBS, you'll probably be advised about changes you need to make to your diet. Your doctor might prescribe medications (like muscle relaxants, anti-depressants, bulk-forming laxatives and anti-diarrheal medicines) to relieve symptoms. Track the foods you eat and make note of which foods seem to make your symptoms worse. Try to avoid eating these foods in the future. Most people with IBS find that one or more of these cause digestive problems: Foods that are high in fat Foods that are artificially sweetened Foods that cause gas or bloating (cabbage, some beans) Some milk products Alcohol Caffeine
Summary: Watch for symptoms of IBS. Consider your risk factors. Talk with your doctor. Keep a food journal.

Problem: Article: To be productive and efficient, you will need good lighting. Design your space around a window. Daylight makes your workspace more positive, and exposure to sunlight improves the overall quality of your life. Align your workstation facing north or south to avoid shadows at any time of day. Position yourself adjacent to the window to enjoy the view while preventing glare on your screen. Get good window treatments that will prevent glare and keep the room from overheating on very sunny days. You need other light sources to supplement natural lighting. Light your entire workspace with pleasant overhead or ambient light. Task lights are essential for reading and other close work. A good combination of artificial light sources can compensate if your workspace does not have a window, or at night and on overcast days. Find task lights with dimmers so they can suit any task. You want a productive workspace. Cut down on clutter by only having the items you will need in your space. Make sure you have easy access to everything you need to get your work done. Invest in good desk organizers that you like. Make sure your desk is proportionate to your workspace. An extra large desk can make you feel cramped. Incorporate some empty space so you do not feel overwhelmed by clutter in your space. Include personal touches that will inspire you without overwhelming your space or distracting you from your work. Use colors that help keep you calm and happy. Balance these with more neutral colors to prevent distraction. Bring in some artwork or photos that you enjoy and that inspire you. Make the space cozy with a throw blanket. Have custom-built shelves that reflect your style. Decorate with plants.
Summary: Try to work where there's a window. Add artificial light sources. Keep the clutter to a minimum. Decorate your space to inspire you.

Problem: Article: if you want to create pretty shapes. This is an easy way to make your cookies look perfect and professional. Fill the cookie press with dough and tighten the lid. Use the lever to squeeze the batter onto a greased baking tray. Purchase a cookie press from a homeware store. This is a great option if you want to gift the cookies. Take the dough out of the bowl and place it onto a clean bench. Use your hands to squeeze the dough into a lump and then roll it into a log shape. Try to make the log a consistent width. This will help the biscuits to cook evenly. Sprinkle a dusting of flour onto the bench to help stop the dough from sticking. Make the log 30cm (12in) long and 5cm (2.0in) wide. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into slices. Continue slicing until the whole log has been cut into cookies and then place the biscuits onto a greased tray. Try your best to make each slice and even distance apart as this will help the biscuits to cook evenly. Move the log onto a cutting board to cut if your bench scratches easily. Leave 2.5cm (0.98in) between each cookie. Place the tray of cookies into the middle of the oven and set a timer for 10 minutes. Check the cookies after 8 minutes, and if they are golden around the edges, take them out. Transfer the cookies onto a wire cooling rack to cool. Always use oven mitts when taking trays out of the oven. Let the cookies cool for 30 minutes. Keep the cookies in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 2 weeks. An airtight container will help to keep the cookies nice and crispy. If you want to eat the cookies at a later date, place the airtight container into the freezer for up to 5 months.
