In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When purchasing insurance, it is important to shop around, getting quotes from several different sources. Not only does this give you a sense of what your average rate will be, it can also give you bargaining power when you do finally settle on a provider. Most major insurance companies have online rate generators at no extra charge. You can also complete self-quotes online. Certain types of payment plans for cars contractually require certain levels of coverage. Additionally, if you are looking at used cars, buying an older car, with reasonable safety scores and a low resell value, you can usually get by on the minimal coverage for your area. Cars on lease or lien require comprehensive coverage, which means that insurance will cover the cost of all accident-related repairs and replace the value of the vehicle in the event it is totalled in an accident. Insurance rates vary wildly throughout the United States and other parts of the world. Some regions like Hawaii forbid assessing insurance based on age or gender, so a teenager would pay the same as an adult. Florida requires "Personal Injury" insurance on all automotive policies, running about $200 per term. Some places assess insurance rates based on the safety mechanisms the car provides; other places assess on the basis of the cost to replace the car in the event of an accident. In Puerto Rico, car insurance is state subsidized to ensure everyone has access to it. In some states, certain types of cars are seen as inviting accidents or more prone for damage in accidents, so the rates can be accessed with that risk in mind. An older car usually has a lower resale value, which can be helpful on states like South Carolina, where insurance is based on value of the car. In Florida, however, because an older car has fewer safety accommodations, the same car would be more expensive to insure than a new car. High-end cars mean higher premiums. Particularly foreign cars that require dealer parts mean higher insurance rates because they cost more to repair. Bigger motor means bigger cost. Cars with more powerful motors are designed for speed and, when you buy one, your insurance company assumes you plan to drive it fast and assesses your policy as a greater risk. Theft risk matters. Insurance rates depend on a good many factors, even including the rate of theft for certain makes and models of car, independent of the actual value of the vehicle.
Summary: Get quotes. Understand types of coverage. Understand how area or region impacts insurance rates. Understand that vehicle type and age can impact rates.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place the diced cucumbers, peppers, and onions in a large bowl. Toss the vegetables together with the salt, then cover the entire batch with cold water. Note that you should not add the minced garlic to this mixture. Set it aside until later. The bowl you use should be made of glass, plastic, or another non-reactive material. The water should be very cold to keep the vegetables as fresh as possible. If desired, you can add 1 cup (250 ml) of ice to the water, as well, to cool the mixture further. Set the mixture aside and let it rest for 4 to 6 hours at room temperature. Technically, you can move onto the next step after 2 hours if you're in a hurry. You can also allow the vegetables to soak overnight. Longer resting times should help prolong the lifespan of the relish, which is beneficial if you plan on storing it long-term. Check the mixture every hour or so. If the water level decreases significantly, add more cold water. If the water temperature becomes too warm, add more ice. Pour the contents of the bowl through a fine mesh colander, discarding the soaking water. Thoroughly rinse the vegetables with cool, running water. Agitate the colander carefully while rinsing the vegetables to promote even coverage. Allow the rinse water to completely drain from the vegetables before continuing. Return the vegetable mixture to the bowl and cover it with additional cold water. Allow the mixture to soak for another hour. Pour the contents of the bowl through the colander, discarding the water and keeping the vegetables. You do not need to rinse the mixture this time, but you may need to gently press the vegetables against the sides and bottom of the colander to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Summary: Toss the vegetables with salt and water. Let the mixture rest. Drain and rinse the vegetables. Soak in fresh water. Drain the vegetables again.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Let past experiences be a lesson to you while letting future dreams guide you, but live your life in the present. If you want to live an exceptional life you must discover who truly are by not worrying about things that have not happened yet. Concentrating on the here and now will have a positive effect on your emotional well-being. Spending too much time thinking about the past or pondering the future limits your ability to move forward at the present time. By living in the present moment, you are accepting everything for what it is worth, that things are complete or whole. At this point, you can forgive yourself for mistake and achieve a piece of mind knowing that all things happen for a reason. Refuse to engage in fearful thinking about the future. If you worry too much about potential disasters in the future you will get mired in doubt and this thinking will impact what you believe to be your purpose in life is. Do the things in life that make you happy so that you can continuously engage with life and the world around you. When you know and understand yourself, you know what you want in life and don't have to hide behind a mask. In this way, you will build a more meaningful life. "Self" in this understanding is your unique, individual, and special self who exhibits passions, strengths, and desires that come to life, not the "self" of what others expect of you. Relinquish expectations so that you can focus more on yourself rather than on the tasks of a project or conversation. Examine your own expectations and then let them go so that you can be the real you. The same goes for conditional relationships. Trying to live up to someone else's expectations gives you little time to discover what you really want. Expectations will only force you to move further away from your true self. By taking care of your "self" and passing up expectations, you will align yourself with your true purpose and meaning of your life. Take off the mask and stop living lies to please others. Lying to others is, in reality, lying to yourself. Don't try to live someone else's dream and get off the path that other expect you to take. Instead, find your own authentic self by expressing the truth and confronting your fears. Suppressing your feelings or following a path that is not your own is not living your "authentic self." For example, keeping your sexual orientation a secret, living in an abusive marriage, or working in an unfulfilling career are all paths that were not chosen. Once those barriers can be overcome, then pursuit of the true self can begin. First, admit the truth and, second, express the truth to yourself. If you cannot express the truth verbally, keep a journal for your thoughts and self-reflection. Truth is often concealed out of fear, but keeping fear inside without confronting it could create mental, physical, and emotional trauma that will form barriers to discovering the real you. Stand up for what you believe in, not what you were taught to believe. Discovering yourself is finding out what you truly believe in.
Summary:
Live in the present. Be yourself. Stay true to yourself.
