Q: Look at your artwork, knicknacks, book collection, and other decorations in the room you're trying to brighten up. Is anything adding to the feeling that the space is overly dim? It might be time to switch out that old black-and-white print for something more lively and bright. If you have stacks of books, a collection of old dolls or a wall of deep green plants, it might be time for those to go, too. If you're committed to brightening up your space, you might have to make some tough decisions about what to keep. Choose your top 10 or so favorite books and display them artfully, rather than having your entire collection take up a wall in the dark room. The space that was previously covered with books can now be brightened up with something more cheerful. If you're a plant lover, think about getting rid of big, dark plants and replacing them with plants that are lighter in color. Displaying a few succulents or ferns is an attractive touch, but having racks of plants can make a room feel darker. Now that you've cleared away some space, try adding a few mirrors to the room. They'll reflect what light does leak into the room and make it seem at least a little brighter. Choose mirrors with light-colored frames that add to the room's airy feel. Hanging mirrors in a room has the added benefit of making it feel larger. Do you have floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelves that add to your room's dark feel? How about a dark cherry TV cabinet, or a big wooden bed with rich, dark posts? Heavy furniture can make even the brightest room look a little dreary. If you want to brighten things up, choose furniture with lighter wood. You can also paint or refinish your existing furniture to give it a room-brightening makeover. Buy brightly-colored slipcovers for your sofa and chairs. If you're like most people, you've got tangles of wires and cables snaking across your floor. Black wires can contribute to a room feeling dark and cluttered. Try keeping them neatly wound and secured with a piece of velcro. You can also tape the wires against the baseboard using light-colored electrical tape to keep them out of the way. You'll find that this seemingly trivial change makes a big difference. Another trick for making a room appear brighter is to eliminate the need for a lot of furniture. Instead of having a bunch of bookshelves and tables, try installing wall-mounted shelves that are composed of light-colored wood or painted white. Use them to store your books and a few decorations. Now you've eliminated the shadows cast by extra tables and other furniture.
A: Assess your decorations and accessories. Add mirrors. Change up your dark furniture. Keep wires tucked away. Install wall-mounted shelving.

Q: Cut off both ends. Peeling summer squash is not necessary. You can also cook a flavorful meat, like pancetta or bacon, in your skillet to render its fat. Then, you remove the meat and saute the squash in the rendered fat. Saute the squash until the exterior begins to brown and caramelize. Taste it for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.
A: Rinse the squash under cool running water and pat it dry. Slice the squash into rings or into small chunks. Season the squash with salt and pepper. Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until it starts to shimmer. Turn the heat down to medium. Remove the squash from the skillet to serve it. Serve the sauteed squash in a bowl or serve it on a plate paired with a main dish.

Q: While you'll need to train your dog using common cue words, such as "Stop," "Come," or "Sit," your blind dog will also need to learn helpful commands. Since your dog won't be able to see food treats, use clicker training and reward your dog with verbal praise when teaching a new cue. If you prefer to train using treats, you'll have to hold the food treat directly in front of your dog's nose. Then move the treat to encourage the dog to follow through with the cue. For example, hold the treat near its nose and then place it on a stair as you say, "Step." Help your blind dog feel confident in its surroundings by establishing a routine. For example, take your dog for a walk at the same time every day and use the same route to go to its favorite park. This will help your dog feel comfortable with the experience. If you have days where you can't follow the exact same routine, try to follow parts of the schedule as much as you can. For example, if you're traveling with your dog, feed it at the same time you usually do. Since blind dogs usually have excellent hearing, clicker training is a great way to teach new skills. Reward good reactions and behavior by making a noise with a clicking device. Your dog will soon associate the good behavior with the reward and eventually you won't need to make the clicking sound. Treat clicker training like a game and your blind dog will look forward to your training sessions. In addition to clicker training, give your dog a food treat or verbal praise when it follows your directions. Positive reinforcement will give your blind dog confidence and will strengthen your relationship, so it trusts you. For example, if your dog is hesitant to go up stairs in the house and you command it to step up, say, "Good job!" when it starts to climb up. Since blind dogs can't see when you're happy with them, touch, pat, or rub the dog to show it that you're pleased with it. Remember that your blind dog is just like any other dog that wants you to love it. Never yell, hit, threaten, or intimidate your dog since doing so will cause your dog to lose trust in you. Always remember that positive reinforcement is the best way to train the dog. It may take some time, but being patient with your dog will help it learn to adapt to its surroundings.
A: Use new cue words to alert your dog. Follow a predictable daily routine. Use clicker training to teach your dog. Reward your dog with treats and verbal praise. Treat your blind dog with respect.

Q: Either tap the YouTube app icon that resembles a white triangle on a red background (mobile), or go to https://www.youtube.com/ on your computer (desktop). This will open your YouTube home page if you're logged in. If you aren't logged in, select Sign In and then enter your email address and password before continuing. Tap the magnifying glass icon (mobile) or click the search bar at the top of the page (desktop). Type in your movie's title along with the year, then tap Search or press Enter. This will search YouTube for the movie. For example: to find Alien: Covenant on YouTube, you would type alien covenant 2017 into YouTube. Keep in mind that you're more likely to find the full version of an older, less popular movie on YouTube than you are to find a newer release. Scroll through the search results to see if you can find a full version of the movie you searched for. Tap or click a video that resembles the same length as the movie you're looking for. As long as you have a consistent Internet or data connection, it will begin playing. Very rarely will you be able to find a full-length movie for free on YouTube.
