In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although the above information can help you understand if your wrist is sprained and roughly gauge to what extent, your doctor is much more qualified to make an accurate diagnosis. In fact, a detailed history leads to a specific diagnosis in about 70% of wrist pain cases. Your doctor will examine your wrist and perform some orthopedic tests on it, and if the injury appears severe, they will likely send you for a wrist x-ray to rule out a fractured bone. X-rays only show bones, however, and not soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, or nerves. Broken carpal bones, particularly hairline fractures, can be tricky to see on x-ray because of their small size and the confined space. If the x-rays are negative for a wrist fracture, but your injury is severe and in need of surgery, the doctor might send you for an MRI or CT scan. Small stress fractures of carpal bones (particularly the scaphoid bone) are very difficult to see on regular x-rays until all the inflammation fades away. Thus, you may have to wait a week or so to get another x-ray. These types of injuries may also require additional imaging such as MRI or splinting/casting depending on severity of symptoms and mechanism of injury. Osteoporosis (a condition characterized by demineralization and brittle bones) is a significant risk factor for wrist fractures, although it doesn't increase the risk of wrist sprains. For all Grade 1 wrist sprains and most Grade 2 sprains, there's no need for an MRI or other high-tech diagnostic test because the injuries are short-lived and tend to heal within a few weeks without any medical treatment. However, for more serious ligament sprains (especially Grade 3 varieties) or if the diagnosis remains unclear, then magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is warranted. An MRI uses magnetic waves to provide detailed images of all structures within the body, including soft tissues. MRI is great for visualizing which ligament is badly torn and to what extent. This is very helpful information for an orthopedic surgeon if surgery is required. Tendinitis, ruptured tendons and bursitis of the wrist (including carpal tunnel syndrome) mimic wrist sprains, but an MRI can distinguish between the different injuries. An MRI is also helpful to see the extent of blood vessel and nerve damage, particularly if your wrist injury is causing symptoms in your hand, such as numbness, tingling and/or loss of normal color. Another cause of wrist pain that can mimic a low-grade sprain is osteoarthritis the wear and tear type. However, osteoarthritis pain is chronic, gets slowly worse over time and typically involves a grinding feeling with wrist movement. If your wrist injury is pretty severe (and not improving) and the diagnosis remains unclear after x-rays and an MRI, then further imaging modalities such as a CT scan are indicated. Computerized tomography (CT) scans combine x-ray images taken from different angles and use computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of all hard and soft tissues inside your body. CT images provide more detailed information than regular x-rays, but similar levels of detail to MRI images. In general, CT is excellent for evaluating hidden fractures of the wrist, although MRI tends to be better for evaluating more subtle ligament and tendon injuries. However, CT scans are typically less expensive than MRI, so this may be a factor if your health insurance won't cover costs of diagnosis. CT scans expose you to ionizing radiation. The amount of radiation is more than plain x-rays, but not enough to be considered harmful. The most common ligament sprained in the wrist is the scapho-lunate ligament, which connects the scaphoid bone to the lunate bone. If all the above mentioned diagnostic imaging results are negative, but your severe wrist pain persists, then your doctor will likely refer you to an orthopedic (bone and joint) specialist for more testing and evaluation.
Summary: Consult with your family physician. Get a referral for an MRI. Consider a CT scan.

Any type of chewing gum or bubblegum should work. Chew a wad of gum until all of it is soft and flexible. Sugared gum and sugarless gum have different consistencies, so you might want to try both kinds to see which is easier to snap. Press it against the roof of your mouth with your tongue until it forms a flat, unbroken disc or rectangle. There are a couple different ways you can flatten the gum. Any method you use for blowing a bubble should work, but stop before the gum is fully stretched out. Use your tongue to push the gum up behind your upper lip, in front of your upper front teeth. Wedge one end of the gum firmly in that area. Push the other end of the gum behind your lower teeth, on the inside of your mouth. The gum should still be all in one piece, without any tears. Some people put the lower end in front of the bottom teeth instead, or in the center of the mouth. Part your lips slightly, so there's a gap between them. Suck a short burst of air in quickly, and some of the gum should snap back into your mouth, making noise. You might need to practice for a while before you can get this. Even once you learn it, it might not happen every time.

One-sentence summary -- Chew gum for a minute or two. Flatten the gum in your mouth. Stretch the gum between your upper lip and the back of your lower teeth. Suck in air.

Problem: Article: Most people who stay in hostels are looking for a good deal on housing while they travel. Start by thinking about good locations that travelers frequent. Big cities with a lot of tourism are good starting points. Beach locations are also popular for travelers. If you're local to the area you want to open your hostel in, then think about the places people always visit when they travel to your area. If you're relocating to a new area, ask locals or check online for popular local destinations. Get an idea of what people are looking for when they visit this area. Hostels can also work in rural areas if there is a local attraction nearby. For example, popular hiking trails can attract plenty of business to a rural location. As an added bonus, real estate is probably cheaper in these areas. Most people who stay at hostels aren't bringing cars, so reliable transport is important. People won't be able to reach your hostel if it isn't near transportation, and they also won't be able to explore the local area. Find a location near local trains and buses to make your hostel more attractive for travelers. A location within walking distance of local attractions like historic sites and restaurants is even better. If there isn't good local transit nearby, try to offer other transportation options. Partner up with local cab companies, for example, or consider renting bikes to help your guests get around. You may not be the first hostel in the area, and these other hostel owners are your competition. Investigate what these hostels offer their guests and how they operate. You could even book a stay at some of these hostels to really see what the guest experience is like. Then use what you learn to run your own hostel. If an area is particularly saturated with hostels, then consider a different area. There may be too much competition here for you to get ahead. While you should pay attention to your competition, don't feel like you have to copy them. This is your hostel, and if you have a unique idea that no one else is doing, then put it into action.
Summary:
Pick a location that attracts budget travelers. Find a building near reliable local transportation. Research local competition.
