This is a very easy to use system for reattaching parts of plaster walls and ceilings that have started to separate from the lath behind. You just drill holes through the plaster, inject a treatment that softens the plaster, followed by adhesive, then use screws with plastic washers to push the softened plaster flat against the lath and hold in place while the adhesive hardens. Then you can remove the washers, and smooth the area and fill the holes with plaster or joint compound. I’ve used it several times over the past 2 years and have avoided having to remove and replace whole walls and ceilings. It can also be used to try to prevent cracks from growing.
I’ve probably spent about $100-200 per room of my house. It’s very easy to use, and helpful if you only have a few small problem areas, or just prefer to save an old plaster wall or ceiling during restoration or repair of an old house. They also sell patching plaster as well.

How to throw a great party
Small gatherings are perfect for renewing old friendships and more importantly, for making new friends. Nick Gray has written a short book – The 2-Hour Cocktail Party – that gives you explicit step by step instructions on how to host highly structured parties at your home that maximize conversations. Gray has hosted hundreds of these non-dinner parties and his tips are exactly what works in my experience. I didn’t think I’d needed a book to help me throw a party, but his directions and check lists – down to what the emails should say, and what to do each day in the countdown before the party are incredibly useful, and even inspiring. Get this book, throw a 2-hour party with name tags and icebreaker questions, and it will be great! — KK
Member-owned handmade marketplace
If you’re like me and have soured on Etsy, here’s a brand new handmade marketplace to keep in mind: Artisans Co-op. It just launched so I can’t vouch for any of the products, but I have been following their updates and “phases” and I appreciate their transparency and integrity. Their community vision is fair tech, not big tech, which is why they are member-owned by artisans. As of right now they have 65 shops and more than 1000 handmade items, and each day the selection keeps growing. — CD
The next total eclipse
This week a annular solar eclipse crossed a good swath of the US, but this “ring of fire” eclipse was not a total eclipse. The difference between an annular eclipse and a total eclipse is night and day. The next total eclipse in the US will be April 8 next year. The best source for tracking its path, with expected cloud coverage, duration of totality, and ideal viewing spots is this wonderful website, The Eclipse Company. — KK

Tips to help you remember what you learn
One of the advantages of having a poor memory is that I can read my favorite books every couple of years and they feel mostly new. But I’d rather remember them, and this video by Ali Abdaal has seven good tips for helping you remember what you learn. Two of the best tips:
- Teach Others — Explain what you've learned to others to reinforce what you learned.
- Active Recall — Test yourself and actively try to recall information rather than passively reviewing by rereading.

Reviews for "7 Magic Flat Iron Mistakes to Avoid for Healthier Hair"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the 7 magic flat iron. It claims to straighten hair in just one pass, but I found that it took multiple passes to get the desired result. The flat iron also didn't glide smoothly through my hair and ended up causing some frizz. Overall, I found it to be a waste of money and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. John - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the 7 magic flat iron, but it fell short of my expectations. While it did straighten my hair, it didn't last very long. The straightness started to fade within a few hours, and by the end of the day, my hair was back to its usual texture. Additionally, the flat iron felt flimsy and cheaply made. I don't think it's worth the price.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I tried the 7 magic flat iron and it didn't work well for my thick and curly hair. It took a long time to straighten each section, and even then, my hair didn't look as sleek and smooth as I had hoped. The flat iron also caused a lot of static and left my hair feeling dry and damaged. I'll be returning it and looking for a better option for my hair type.
