Sometimes siblings just want a little attention from you. Come up with a project that you can work on together outside of your bedroom. If you're dealing with a very small sibling, come up with a fun art project you can work on together. If it's someone a little older, ask for their help on something, like going shopping with you to get a parent a birthday gift or even making something creative together as the gift. Giving a family member a little attention outside of your bedroom will hopefully make them less inclined to barge in your room constantly for attention. Show them that you want to hang out with them, just not in your bedroom. Let them pick out the movie, pop some popcorn and spend a little quality time together. Be sure that you do this outside of your bedroom. You need to get them in the habit of hanging out with you elsewhere. Pull out some board games or just hang out with them in their bedroom to reinforce the idea that hanging out with you does not mean barging into your room. Before you go into their bedroom, knock and wait to be let in. Hopefully this will set an example of the kind of behavior you want from them.

Summary: Work on a project together. Make a "date" to watch a movie together in another room. Play games or hang out with them in their room.

The study coins and other money is known as numismatics. If you have lots of coins that you want to appraise, or if you frequently work with coins, consider joining a professional group devoted to this area. These groups will share price lists and other special information that can help you determine the value of your coins. Look for a recognized professional group in your area, like the American Numismatics Association or the Professional Numismatics Guild. Websites like Coin Today and Coin World may also allow you to register for membership to access special information. Professional coin appraisers can give you the most accurate, up-to-date value of your coin. They will base their appraisal on their expert opinion of the coin's condition. They'll also take into account what similar coins have been selling for lately. Membership in a numismatics group should also give you access a directory of dealers so you can find one in your area. Coin groups may hold regular conventions when sellers can display coins for interested buyers. Dealers may also be interested in buying coins from attendees. Whether or not you're interested in actually selling your coin, you can use this as an opportunity to determine its "buy" value. Talk to some dealers. Show them the coin(s) you have and ask them if they're interested in buying.

Summary: Join a numismatics group. Have your coin officially appraised. Go to a numismatics trade show.

The food you consume can have a profound affect on your brain power. Strive for a healthy diet, rich in brain food. A Mediterranean diet can increase your brainpower. This is a diet comprised of mainly fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, healthy fats, and fish. Healthy fats include monounsaturated fats and are found in foods like fish, avocados, olive oil, and canola oil. Transitioning into a more Mediterranean-based dietary plan can help you increase your overall brain power. Spinach is a powerful brain food. Eating three or more servings of spinach or other leafy greens like kale each day slows mental decline and increases overall brain function. Simple sugars, like table sugars and brown sugars, as well as syrupy sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup, can have a detrimental effect on the brain. Saturated and trans fats, the kinds of found in red meat and dairy, have a negative effect on your mental level as well as overall health. Enriched, bleached, or refined flour, the flour found in white breads, white rices, and white pastas, also has a poor affect on the brain. Getting a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night can increase brain power and promote logical thinking. To improve your sleep schedule, have a set bedtime and wake time that you do not deviate from, even on weekends. Stay away from electronic screens close to bedtime. Do not eat heavy meals late at night and work on engaging in a relaxing activity, like reading, in the hour before bed. Breathing increases brain power by increasing oxygen flow in the brain. Practice deep breathing exercises in the morning and before bed. Practice yoga, meditation, Pilates and other activities that focus on healthy breathing patterns. Physical exercise has a profound effect on cognitive abilities. In addition to being great for the body, a regular exercise routine can boost your mind's capacity for logic. Make exercise a priority. Many people push exercise to the peripheral of their lives, not making the time necessary to go to the gym or go for a run. If you make a schedule for yourself, and stick to it, exercise will eventually feel as vital a part of your routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or showering. Aerobics seem to have a particularly strong effect on cognitive abilities. Running, jogging, biking, and engaging in workout routines that get the heart pumping 4 or 5 times a week can increase your brainpower. It's important that you make time to be outdoors in nature on a regular basis. Spending time outside will help you clear your thoughts and ground yourself. Aim to spend at least a couple hours every week in nature. You can go for a walk or hike, fish or hunt, explore the mountains or forest, swim in lakes or the ocean, or simply sit underneath a tree. People tend to see downtime as an indulgence. However, this is not the case. Taking the occasional break is vital for your brain's ability to process information. Give your brain the occasional mental rest. Have a relaxing ritual you engage in each day. Designate one day a week as your "day off" and take the day to spend time by yourself engaging in leisurely activities you enjoy.

Summary: Eat brain food. Improve your sleep schedule. Breathe. Exercise frequently. Spend time in nature. Take breaks.

Place 1 tbsp (9.45 g) of yeast, 1 cup (240ml) of lukewarm water, and 1 tbsp (12.5 g) of sugar into the bowl. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients together. Whisk the ingredients until the yeast and sugar have dissolved. Place 1 cup (120 g) of flour into the bowl with the yeast, lukewarm water, and sugar. Use a whisk to combine the flour with the other ingredients. Leave the mixture resting until small bubbles appear. The amount of time that it takes for the yeast to start bubbling depends on the temperature of the environment. The cooler the environment is, the longer it will take. Transfer 1/3 cup (75 g) of butter, 1 tsp (5 g) of salt, and the remaining 2 1/2 cups (300 g) of flour into the bowl with the yeast mixture. Use your hands to knead the ingredients together. Stop kneading once the butter is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Keep the ingredients in the bowl while you are kneading. Take the dough from the bowl and place it onto a clean work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out until it looks like a thin sheet and is approximately 15in (0.51cm) thick. Sprinkle some flour over the work surface if the dough starts to stick. Avoid rolling the dough too thin, otherwise, it may begin to break. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl. Use a whisk to beat the eggs until the whites and the yolks have combined. Coat the dough thoroughly using a pastry brush to spread the egg mixture out. If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use the back of a spoon to spread the egg mixture out instead. Coating the dough with egg is called an egg wash. This helps to give the dough color and makes it shiny when it is cooked.
Summary: Combine the yeast, lukewarm water, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix part of the flour into the bowl and let the mixture rest for 5-15 minutes. Knead the butter, salt, and remaining flour into the bowl. Roll the dough out on your work surface. Brush the dough with 3 beaten eggs.
