Secrets of the Kashmir Valley by Farhana Qazi
This book has earned multiple PERFECT 5-star ratings from Onlinebookclub.org reviewers, and has 55 five-star ratings on Amazon!
From the Author:"When I first visited Kashmir, I was mesmerized. This was the land of magic and mystery, just as I had imagined it as a child.And then I met women trapped inside their homes and scarred by the traumas of a conflict that lasted 70-plus years. I carried their stories with me as I traveled back home to Virginia.This is the moment that I had to write: to be the voice for the voiceless and help the world community understand the brutality of war."
Welcome to Wonderland. Where tragedy meets beauty.
"Qazi takes us on a journey through the lives of those affected by the war. This book transcends politics, focusing on individuals navigating the tumultuous landscape of Kashmir. Qazi's narrative pays homage to the women of this region, from peaceful protestors to political activists, who witness the ruthless repercussions of war. Their stories of struggle, sacrifice, and survival against all odds. A must read if you may ask!" ~ Amazon reviewer

2024.05.10 14:24 Fit-Introduction942 Successful protocols after rounds of not making blasts?

Looking for advice here. I’ve done four IVF cycles so far. 49 total eggs retrieved and only one blast to show for it, and to complicate things, the blast is from our only donor sperm cycle which we since figured out we don’t even need. They thought it was just MFI but my egg quality (at 32-33 years old) has been the issue all along. I don’t have a diagnosis that would point to why. My clinic is now recommending a down reg cycle + HGH throughout for my final cycle; after this, they’re done with me.
So my question - for those who have really struggled to make blasts over multiple cycles -- did you ever figure out a protocol that miraculously helped? Or do I just say screw it and try the final time with whatever my clinic is offering? I feel like there HAS to be something else they can do
. But I may be fooling myself. Should I also get a second opinion?
Thanks in advance and hugs to everyone as we get close to Mother’s Day. Seeing your posts makes me feel less alone.
ETA: The last round I did three months of acupuncture weekly, dairy free/gluten free/vegetarian/alcohol free, ubiquinol, DHEA, myoinositol, vitamin D, B12, and all the other usual suspect supplements.

2024.05.10 00:44 VLenin2291 Equipment in the West African War

We'll say this is just FMA vs PALF for the sake of simplicity, and I'm not talking about American kit, since I think we all know what that would look like. Now, in spite of the fact that they don't have content, Free France has a largely unique tech tree and Cameroon has a few unique techs. The following are the techs used in these trees going up to 1964, so they'll probably be in when the war starts. This will be listed all of them, as, due to the nature of Free France and Cameroon, I imagine they'd use just about everything in their stockpiles.
Infantry Equipment
Free France:
Cameroon: CIDC Modele 58, 9mm
Ground Vehicles
Free France:
Cameroon:
Aircraft
Free France:
Cameroon:
I should also note here that, as 1970 techs, the Free French also have the F-5 Tiger and the A-7 Corsair II, both of which could work based on when they were introduced IRL.
Beyond these, what do you think the opposing sides of the West African War (aside from the Americans) would use? I imagine both have some German gear from German Africa, Free France could probably receive some Brazilian equipment, and Cameroon, I imagine, would mostly be using equipment from the Sphere.

2024.04.26 15:39 wardXn Trip Report: 36 days across western Japan, Part 3 [as a solo traveller] – Kobe/Himeji, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Mie (day trips)

Day 19 – Kobe, Maiko Promenade, Akashi-Kaikyo Exhibition Centre/Bridge (Hyogo)
Made an early rainy start from Kinosaki Onsen towards Kobe via the limited express Hamakaze. As it was a very early departure (~0712), the owner kindly prepared my breakfast in a bento setbox which I was appreciative of, so that I can have my breakfast on the train. The ride down to Kobe took ~2.5 hours which was pretty long, though by starting the day much earlier, I maximize the amount of productive time I have for the remainder of the day. After dropping my luggage at the hotel, I made my way backwards to Maiko to visit the Akashi-Kaikyo Exhibition Centre which details the construction process in making the longest suspension bridge in the world [until recently]. Engineering folks would be interested in the details of maintaining such a bridge. Just beside the exhibition centre, the Maiko Promenade provides access a small section of the suspension bridge lower deck– it is really windy (and noisy with traffic rumbling above you) there!
The main item for the day was to join the Bridge World exhibit tour, which consist of a safety briefing, a site walk along the suspension bridge maintenance deck and taking a lift up to the bridge pylon i.e. the tallest point of the bridge. The entire tour costed 5k yen and took about 2 hours. Although the tour is entirely in Japanese (it is chaired by their own engineers), there is an English audio guide provided for you to explain certain aspects. My own opinion is that while the audio guide covers the main aspects, the extra tidbits/trivia mentioned by the engineers are not included (so its an added bonus if you have some Japanese listening comprehension). Also, you will need to be able to climb up some stairs so if you are unable to, you’ll have to give this a hard pass. The exhibit tour runs between April to end-November so you’re out of luck if you come during winter [I asked one of the staff why there was no session planned between December and March, and his response was that it was “too cold” to conduct said tour].
After the tour, I took a highway bus back to Sannomiya/Kobe. Incidentally, it was dinner time and a friend suggested that I try out Kobe beef since I’m already there. Although most steak establishments there require a prior booking ahead of time, I managed to find one named Mouriya that accepted walk-ins. In a word, it was delicious– a pain to the wallet at 12k yen no doubt, but its worth trying out at least once for the experience.
After dinner, I walked around the area on the way back to the hotel. To the hotel in question for the night, the La Suite KOBE which had a direct view of Kobe Harbor. One thing I have noticed while planning this entire trip is that there are very few 5 star hotels in Japan, and when I saw this and the offer price, I just decided to go with it just for the experience. After staying here for a night, I now understand what it takes to be considered as one, from getting a personal room tour by the hotel staff to extravagant room sizes to bottled ‘designer’ mineral water to jacuzzis. I must disclaim however, by saying that 3-stars hotels in Japan are typically very good for the value proposition. A great place to crash the night, if you have the money to splurge.
Day 20 – Kobe Maritime Museum, Himeji Castle/Koko-en (Hyogo), Minoh Falls (Osaka)
Breakfast at this hotel is done differently from other hotels – instead of a buffet spread, the hotel staff wheels a table directly to your room and you get to eat it in solitary peace – that certainly was a first for me. Before checking out, I made a stop at the nearby Kobe Harbour to visit the maritime museum and the earthquake memorial park . What I find surprising about the museum is that it wasn’t entirely about maritime/shipping/vessel stuff, instead, there’s one large section dedicated to Kawasaki [think bike/shinkansen manufacturer] and a special exhibit on Hatsune Miku. While I personally didn’t mind it I thought it feels like a misnomer to call it a ‘maritime’ museum. Spent about 3 hours at the harbor area. Kobe Tower was down for maintenance when I visited.
After checking out of the hotel I zipped over to Himeji, left my luggage at the JR station lockers and proceeded to explore Himeji Castle and Koko-en. There was a discount ticket set for both attraction so I went with that. Himeji Castle is pretty well documented here so I’ll just keep it short and say that it was worth the visit. Ditto for Koko-en in the autumn; both places took me just around 2.5~3 hours.
After that, I zipped down to Osaka via the Shinkansen, deposited my luggage at the hotel before heading over to one last destination – Minoh Falls. I have last visited this place years ago during the day and wanted to see for myself how the autumn illumination was like. To be frank, it was alright, though on reflection I feel it wasn’t fully worth the time to walk all the way to the falls (I clocked just north of 46000 steps which was one of the highest daily record).
Lastly, the hotel in question for the next 5 nights is the Vessel Inn Namba, a ~2 minute walk away from Dontonbori and Namba station (which I would argue is THE major transportation artery in Osaka beside Umeda). Although the room was rather small at ~14m2, for the pricepoint of ~9k yen/night and its convenient access to major transportation nodes I thought it was value for money.
Day 21 – Ise Jingu , Futamiokitama Shrine, Toba Aquarium, Mikimoto Pearl Island (Mie)
NOTE: Day 21, 22 and 23 utilizes the 5-day Kintetsu Rail Pass+ [=/= JR PASS] (which covers free bus services at Ise and Nara).
Day trip over from Namba to Ise. Took the first express train out of Namba at 0600 and arrived at Ise Station just after 0800. The overall routing was as follow:
Namba Station train to Ise Station bus to Ise Jingu Okage Yokocho bus to Futamiokitama Shrine bus to Toba Aquarium Mikimoto Pearl Island Shimakaze ride back to Osaka
Brief notes for the places as follow:
The final item for the day was to ride Kintetsu’s ‘special’ limited express Shimakaze back to Osaka-Namba. Seat was plush and extremely comfortable, though the main draw was the on-board cafĂ© carriage which served food. I had curry for dinner and 
 it was alright; not terrible but nothing special to write home about. I suppose its more for the experience of dining on a train. Nevertheless, I enjoyed unwinding on my seat as the train whizzed past the countryside back to Osaka under cover of darkness. Booking a seat on the Shimakaze is competitive especially for the unobstructed first-row seats facing the conductor; you should book via the website immediately after reservation slots are open (a month in advance).
I wouldn’t recommend this day trip to first timers in particular, in large part because of the long travel time (~2 hours one-way with the limited express train to/from Osaka) as well as the multiple bus connections between destinations. It can be punishing if you do not time your bus connections well.
Day 22 – Todai-ji, Kasuga Taisha (Nara), Uji, Fushimi Inari (Kyoto)
Spent the morning in Nara, afternoon at Uji and evening/night at Fushimi.
I had a pleasant time strolling around Kasuga Taisha in the morning just before 0800 which was near Todai-ji; it was a relatively quiet affair walking along the shrine. After that, a quick stroll over to Todai-ji. The crowd started to pick up pretty quickly after 0930 though so do arrive early to beat the crowd. The main temple itself isn’t large, but do cater for more time if you want to explore the surrounding temples and parks. Also, you could feed those deer crackers but they can be pretty aggressive so do mind them. I spent about 2.5 hours just walking around two aforementioned attractions.
After Nara, I zoomed up to Uji via the JR Nara line to explore Byodo-in and crossed over the Tachibana River to Uji Shrine and Daikichiyama Observation Deck. As the main attraction in Uji, Byodo-in was understandably the most crowded of all, but crowd management was done well and it didn’t feel as cramped as Kiyomizudera or other major hotspots in Kyoto. There was another separate queue to enter the temple building proper, but I wasn’t in the mood to queue so I just took some photos from the outside. Outside of the temple, I enjoyed viewing and purchasing some tea while walking along the Uji river, and making a short trek up to the observation deck to view the entire town.
Finally, I made an evening/night play for Fushimi. This would be my second return trip to here, and it was still an enjoyable hike up the mountain. Crowd is substantially lower compared to day time so I would propose putting this place as one of your last destination for the day. Moreover, as you make your way up the mountain to the top of the shrine, the crowd level does reduce considerably too. The view of the city from the mid-point was pretty nice. Paths are generally well-lit so there is no visibility concerns at night.
Day 23 – Arashiyama, Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji, Kyoto Manga Museum, Kyoto Railway Museum (Kyoto), Den Den Town, Abeno Harukas (Osaka)
An (almost) full day at Kyoto, with the night spent at Osaka.
With an early start at 0630, the routing for northern Kyoto was as follow:
0630 train from Osaka Arashiyama bus to Kinkakuji bus to Ginkakuji, Philosophers’ Path bus to Kyoto Manga Museum bus to Kyoto Railway Museum Aoniyoshi train ride back to Osaka at 1630
My personal pick would be the two museums unironically – those appealed to the kid in me.
The return trip from Kyoto to Osaka is done via Kintetsu’s Aoniyoshi sightseeing train which travels back to Osaka-Namba via Nara. Similar to the Shimakaze, the seats are extremely comfortable and faces towards the window, allowing you to just unwind and look outside. There is also a cafĂ© carriage which sells rail merchandise and some sweets/desserts. I got myself a coffee and an ice cream sandwich which was great. For purchase of this sightseeing train, you can buy the limited express reservation on the Kintetsu website – demand for this is also quite high so book as early as you can. However, for solo travellers, you need to buy TWO limited express tickets –an adult seat and a child seat (at half price).
I was still feeling alright after lounging on the sightseeing train, so I decided to spend the remainder of the day shopping at Den Den Town for anime related stuff, as well as the nearby Abeno Harukas for the observatory point (Harukas 300). Personally, Den Den Town has that gritty, unfiltered feel to it which I loved. There was not much crowd at the observatory at night (~2040), and I was able to view the Osaka skyline unobstructed. Great place for couples hangout. Dinner was a pork tonkatsu by a chain restaurant named KYK within Abeno Harukas – it was delicious (at a hefty price tag of 3k yen)!
Just like the Mie day-trip, this routing is punishing with multiple buses to connect, destinations scattered across Kyoto, and a long walk (clocking north of 40k steps again) - I would not recommend this routing to first-timers. Moreover, this demands an early start – late end to the day which is not everyone’s cup of tea either.
Day 24 – Osaka Aquarium (Osaka), Kyoto Station (Kyoto)
This was my free day where I had nothing planned specifically, so I went to do some anime-related shopping at Kyoto Station in the morning where there was a pop-up Kyoto Animation store. I also shipped a package home via JPpost. I enjoyed wandering around Den Den Town and Taito Station, playing some of the arcade games. Lastly, I made a stop at the Osaka Aquarium – this was my second time here and I had a great time gazing at the mega fishtank in the middle which housed the whale shark.
---
If you’re still reading, thanks for powering through! Parts 2 and 3 took a while to write - I am not sure when (and if) I have the time to write on Ishikawa (Kanazawa, Noto Peninsula) and Tokyo/Chiba, but I would highly encourage visiting the outskirts in your return visits! Do let me know if there is anything I can do to improve the remaining write-up. Cheers!

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to transfer value without the need for intermediaries like banks or governments. It was introduced in 2009 by an unknown person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcoin is based on blockchain technology, which is a distributed public ledger that records all transactions in a secure and transparent manner. Each transaction is verified by network nodes and added to a chain of blocks, making it virtually impossible to alter or manipulate the data once it's recorded.

The Basics of Blockchain

The blockchain is a fundamental component of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data.
The decentralized nature of the blockchain eliminates the need for a central authority or trusted third party, as the network collectively validates and records transactions. This ensures transparency, immutability, and resistance to censorship or manipulation.

Bitcoin Mining

Bitcoin mining is the process by which new bitcoins are created and transactions are validated and added to the blockchain. Miners use specialized computing hardware to solve complex mathematical problems, and the first miner to solve a problem is rewarded with newly minted bitcoins and transaction fees.
Mining serves two essential purposes: it secures the network by verifying transactions and adding them to the blockchain, and it introduces new bitcoins into circulation, following a predetermined issuance schedule. As more bitcoins are mined, the mining difficulty increases, ensuring a controlled and predictable supply.

Bitcoin Trading

What is Bitcoin Trading?

Bitcoin trading refers to the buying and selling of bitcoins on various cryptocurrency exchanges. It involves speculating on the price movements of bitcoin relative to other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies (e.g., USD, EUR, JPY).
Bitcoin trading operates similarly to traditional financial markets, with buyers and sellers placing orders to buy or sell bitcoins at specific prices. The trading process is facilitated by cryptocurrency exchanges, which act as intermediaries and provide platforms for buyers and sellers to meet and execute trades.

Types of Bitcoin Trading

There are several types of bitcoin trading, including:

Spot Trading

Spot trading involves buying and selling bitcoins at the current market price for immediate delivery. This is the most common form of bitcoin trading and is suitable for both short-term and long-term investors.

Margin Trading

Margin trading allows traders to borrow funds from the exchange to amplify their trading positions. This increases potential profits but also carries a higher risk of losses due to leverage.

Futures Trading

Bitcoin futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell bitcoins at a predetermined price and date in the future. This type of trading allows traders to speculate on the future price movements of bitcoin without owning the underlying asset.

Options Trading

Bitcoin options trading involves buying or selling contracts that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell bitcoins at a predetermined price within a specific timeframe.

Bitcoin Trading Strategies

There are various trading strategies employed by bitcoin traders, ranging from short-term speculative strategies to long-term investment approaches. Some common strategies include:

Day Trading

Day trading involves opening and closing positions within the same trading day, aiming to profit from short-term price movements. It requires constant monitoring of the market and quick decision-making.

Swing Trading

Swing trading involves holding positions for a few days to a few weeks, capitalizing on larger price swings or trends in the market.

Scalping

Scalping is a high-frequency trading strategy that involves opening and closing positions quickly, aiming to profit from small price movements over a short period.

Buy and Hold

Buy and hold, also known as "hodling," is a long-term investment strategy where traders buy and hold bitcoins for an extended period, expecting the price to appreciate over time.

Technical Analysis

Technical analysis involves studying historical price charts, patterns, and indicators to identify potential trading opportunities and make informed decisions.

Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental analysis focuses on evaluating the underlying factors that influence the demand and supply of bitcoins, such as adoption rates, regulatory developments, and technological advancements.

Bitcoin Trading Platforms

Bitcoin trading takes place on various cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms. Some popular exchanges include:
  • Coinbase
  • Binance
  • Kraken
  • Gemini
  • Bitstamp
These platforms offer different trading interfaces, order types, payment methods, and security features. Traders should carefully evaluate and compare these platforms based on factors such as liquidity, trading fees, user interface, and regulatory compliance.

Risk Management in Bitcoin Trading

Volatility and Risk

Bitcoin trading is known for its high volatility, with prices often experiencing significant fluctuations over short periods. This volatility presents both opportunities and risks for traders. While substantial profits can be made during bullish periods, traders also face the risk of significant losses during bearish market conditions.
Effective risk management is crucial in bitcoin trading to protect capital and ensure long-term success. Traders should develop and adhere to a well-defined risk management strategy that aligns with their investment goals, risk tolerance, and trading style.

Stop-Loss Orders

A stop-loss order is a risk management tool that automatically closes a position when the price reaches a predetermined level, limiting potential losses. Stop-loss orders can be particularly useful in volatile markets like bitcoin trading, as they help traders protect their capital and prevent emotional decision-making during periods of significant price movements.

Position Sizing

Position sizing refers to the practice of determining the appropriate amount of capital to allocate to each trade. Proper position sizing is essential for risk management, as it helps traders control their exposure and potential losses. Traders should consider their risk tolerance, account size, and trading strategy when determining position sizes.

Diversification

Diversification is a risk management strategy that involves spreading investments across different asset classes, cryptocurrencies, or trading strategies. By diversifying their portfolio, traders can reduce their overall risk exposure and potentially minimize the impact of losses in any single investment.

Risk-Reward Ratio

The risk-reward ratio is a metric used to evaluate the potential profit relative to the potential loss of a trade. Traders typically aim for trades with a favorable risk-reward ratio, where the potential profit outweighs the potential loss. This approach helps traders make informed decisions and manage their risk effectively.

Emotional Control

Emotional control is crucial in bitcoin trading, as emotions can lead to impulsive and irrational decision-making. Traders should develop strategies to manage their emotions, such as setting clear trading rules, maintaining a trading journal, and practicing discipline and patience.

Technical Analysis in Bitcoin Trading

Introduction to Technical Analysis

Technical analysis is a widely used approach in bitcoin trading that involves studying historical price movements, chart patterns, and various indicators to identify potential trading opportunities. It is based on the premise that past price behavior can provide insights into future price movements.

Chart Types and Patterns

Bitcoin traders often rely on various chart types and patterns to analyze price movements and identify potential entry and exit points. Some commonly used chart types include:

Candlestick Charts

Candlestick charts provide a visual representation of price movements over a specific time period, displaying the open, high, low, and close prices. They can reveal patterns like bullish or bearish engulfing, hammers, and shooting stars.

Line Charts

Line charts display the closing prices of bitcoin over time, offering a simplified view of price trends and movements.

Bar Charts

Bar charts display the open, high, low, and close prices for a specific time period, providing more detailed information than line charts.

Chart Patterns

Traders also look for specific chart patterns that may indicate potential price reversals or continuations. Examples include head and shoulders, double tops/bottoms, triangles, wedges, and flags/pennants.

Technical Indicators

Technical indicators are mathematical calculations based on price and volume data, designed to identify trends, momentum, and potential entry or exit points. Some commonly used technical indicators in bitcoin trading include:

Moving Averages

Moving averages smooth out price data over a specified period, helping to identify trends and potential support or resistance levels. Examples include Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Weighted Moving Average (WMA).

Oscillators

Oscillators are indicators that fluctuate between predefined ranges, helping to identify overbought or oversold conditions, as well as potential price reversals. Examples include the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic Oscillator, and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Volume Indicators

Volume indicators analyze the trading volume associated with price movements, providing insights into market strength and potential trend continuations or reversals. Examples include On-Balance Volume (OBV) and Money Flow Index (MFI).

Trend Indicators

Trend indicators help identify the overall direction of the market and potential trend changes. Examples include the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Parabolic SAR.

Combining Technical Analysis with Other Strategies

While technical analysis can provide valuable insights into potential trading opportunities, many successful traders combine it with other strategies, such as fundamental analysis and sentiment analysis, to make more informed decisions.
Fundamental analysis involves evaluating the underlying factors that influence the demand and supply of bitcoins, such as adoption rates, regulatory developments, and technological advancements. By incorporating fundamental analysis, traders can gain a deeper understanding of the long-term drivers of bitcoin's value.
Sentiment analysis, on the other hand, focuses on gauging the overall market sentiment and investor psychology, which can influence price movements in the short term. Traders may monitor social media, news outlets, and other sources to gauge the sentiment surrounding bitcoin and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
By combining technical analysis with fundamental analysis and sentiment analysis, traders can develop a more comprehensive understanding of the market and potentially make more informed trading decisions.

Bitcoin Trading Strategies

Trend Following Strategies

Trend following strategies involve identifying and capitalizing on existing market trends. These strategies are based on the premise that trends tend to persist for a certain period before reversing. Traders using trend following strategies aim to enter positions in the direction of the prevailing trend and ride the trend until it shows signs of reversal.
Examples of trend following strategies include:

Moving Average Crossover Strategies

Moving average crossover strategies involve using two or more moving averages to identify potential entry and exit points. Traders may initiate long positions when a shorter-term moving average crosses above a longer-term moving average, and exit or initiate short positions when the opposite occurs.

Breakout Strategies

Breakout strategies involve identifying and trading price movements that break through significant support or resistance levels. Traders may enter long positions when the price breaks above a resistance level, or short positions when the price breaks below a support level.

Range Trading Strategies

Range trading strategies are employed when the market is perceived to be trading within a defined range or consolidation pattern. These strategies aim to capitalize on the price fluctuations within the range, rather than attempting to predict the direction of a larger trend.
Examples of range trading strategies include:

Mean Reversion Strategies

Mean reversion strategies are based on the assumption that prices will eventually revert to their mean or average value after deviating from it. Traders may initiate trades when the price deviates significantly from its mean, with the expectation that it will eventually revert back to the mean.

Support and Resistance Trading

Support and resistance trading involves identifying and trading at key support and resistance levels. Traders may initiate long positions near support levels and short positions near resistance levels, with the expectation that the price will bounce off these levels.

Momentum Trading Strategies

Momentum trading strategies involve identifying and capitalizing on strong price movements or trends. These strategies are based on the premise that prices tend to continue their current direction until a significant reversal occurs.
Examples of momentum trading strategies include:

Relative Strength Index (RSI) Strategies

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a popular momentum indicator that measures the strength of price movements. Traders may initiate long positions when the RSI crosses above a predefined level (e.g., 30), indicating oversold conditions, and initiate short positions when the RSI crosses below a predefined level (e.g., 70), indicating overbought conditions.

Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) Strategies

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that can signal potential changes in momentum. Traders may initiate long positions when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, and initiate short positions when the MACD line crosses below the signal line.

Arbitrage Strategies

Arbitrage strategies involve taking advantage of price discrepancies between different bitcoin exchanges or markets. Traders may simultaneously buy and sell bitcoins on different exchanges to profit from the price differential, effectively capitalizing on market inefficiencies.
Arbitrage strategies can be challenging to execute successfully due to the complexity of monitoring multiple exchanges, managing transaction fees, and accounting for slippage and latency. However, they can be profitable for traders with the necessary infrastructure and expertise.

News and Event-Driven Strategies

News and event-driven strategies involve monitoring and capitalizing on major news events or announcements that can potentially impact the price of bitcoin. These strategies rely on the premise that significant news or events can trigger price movements as market participants react to the new information.
Examples of news and events that may affect bitcoin prices include:
  • Regulatory changes or announcements from governments or financial institutions
  • Major adoption or integration of bitcoin by companies or organizations
  • Technological advancements or updates in the bitcoin network
  • Security breaches or hacking incidents involving bitcoin exchanges or wallets
Traders employing news and event-driven strategies must stay informed about relevant developments and be prepared to react quickly to potential price movements.

Portfolio Management Strategies

Portfolio management strategies involve constructing and maintaining a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, to manage risk and potentially achieve long-term growth. These strategies may involve techniques such as asset allocation, rebalancing, and risk-adjusted return optimization.
By diversifying across multiple cryptocurrencies and asset classes, traders can potentially reduce their overall portfolio risk and capitalize on different market cycles and trends. Additionally, portfolio management strategies may incorporate risk management techniques, such as stop-loss orders and position sizing, to further mitigate potential losses.

Bitcoin Trading Risk Management

Effective risk management is crucial for success in bitcoin trading, as the market is highly volatile and inherently risky. Here are some essential risk management practices for bitcoin traders:

Proper Position Sizing

Position sizing refers to the practice of determining the appropriate amount of capital to allocate to each trade. Proper position sizing helps traders control their risk exposure and potential losses. A common approach is to risk a fixed percentage of the trading account on each trade, such as 1% or 2%.

Stop-Loss Orders

Stop-loss orders are instructions to automatically close a position when the price reaches a predetermined level, limiting potential losses. Traders should carefully set stop-loss levels based on their risk tolerance and trading strategy.

Diversification

Diversification involves spreading investments across different asset classes, cryptocurrencies, or trading strategies. By diversifying, traders can reduce their overall risk exposure and minimize the impact of losses in any single investment.

Risk-Reward Ratio

The risk-reward ratio is a metric used to evaluate the potential profit relative to the potential loss of a trade. Traders typically aim for trades with a favorable risk-reward ratio, where the potential profit outweighs the potential loss.

Emotional Control

Emotional control is crucial in bitcoin trading, as emotions can lead to impulsive and irrational decision-making. Traders should develop strategies to manage their emotions, such as setting clear trading rules, maintaining a trading journal, and practicing discipline and patience.

Continuous Education and Adaptation

The cryptocurrency market is constantly evolving, with new technologies, regulations, and market dynamics emerging. Successful traders must continually educate themselves and adapt their strategies to stay ahead of the curve.

Bitcoin Trading Psychology

Trading psychology plays a significant role in the success or failure of bitcoin traders. It involves understanding and managing the psychological factors that influence decision-making and emotional responses during trading activities.

Overcoming Fear and Greed

Fear and greed are two powerful emotions that can impact trading decisions. Fear may cause traders to exit positions prematurely or miss out on potential opportunities, while greed may lead to excessive risk-taking and irrational decision-making.
To overcome these emotions, traders should develop a disciplined approach, set clear trading rules, and practice emotional detachment from their positions.

Dealing with Losses

Losses are an inevitable part of trading, and how traders handle losses can significantly impact their long-term success. It's essential to accept losses as a natural part of the trading process and avoid letting emotions like frustration or desperation influence future trading decisions.
Traders should develop coping mechanisms, such as maintaining a trading journal, analyzing their mistakes objectively, and focusing on risk management to minimize the impact of losses.

Overconfidence and Humility

Overconfidence can lead traders to take unnecessary risks or ignore potential warning signs. Successful traders cultivate humility, recognizing that the market is inherently unpredictable and that they can never have complete control over their trades.
Maintaining a humble mindset allows traders to remain open to learning, adapting, and acknowledging their limitations, which can ultimately lead to better decision-making and risk management.

Patience and Discipline

Patience and discipline are essential qualities for successful bitcoin trading. Traders must be patient in waiting for favorable trading opportunities and disciplined in following their trading plans and risk management strategies.
Impulsive or emotional decision-making can lead to costly mistakes, while patience and discipline can help traders navigate market volatility and capitalize on genuine opportunities.

Continuous Learning and Self-Improvement

The cryptocurrency market is constantly evolving, and successful traders must embrace a mindset of continuous learning and self-improvement. This involves staying updated on market developments, analyzing past trades objectively, and constantly refining their trading strategies and psychological approach.
By cultivating a growth mindset and being open to learning from their experiences, traders can adapt to changing market conditions and improve their overall trading performance over time.

Bitcoin Trading Tools and Resources

To succeed in bitcoin trading, traders need access to a variety of tools and resources. Here are some essential tools and resources for bitcoin traders:

Trading Platforms and Exchanges

Bitcoin trading takes place on various cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms. These platforms offer different trading interfaces, order types, payment methods, and security features. Some popular exchanges and platforms include Coinbase Pro, Binance, Kraken, Gemini, and Bitstamp.
When choosing a trading platform or exchange, traders should consider factors such as liquidity, trading fees, user interface, security measures, and regulatory compliance.

Charting and Analysis Tools

Charting and analysis tools are essential for technical analysis and identifying potential trading opportunities. Many trading platforms offer built-in charting capabilities, while others may require the use of third-party charting software or online tools.
Popular charting and analysis tools for bitcoin traders include TradingView, MetaTrader, and CryptoWatch. These tools provide a wide range of technical indicators, drawing tools, and customization options to suit various trading strategies.

News and Market Data Aggregators

Staying informed about news, events, and market data is crucial for bitcoin traders. News and market data aggregators gather and present relevant information from various sources, helping traders stay up-to-date with the latest developments that may impact the cryptocurrency market.
Some popular news and market data aggregators for bitcoin traders include CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, CryptoGlobe, and CoinMarketCap.

Trading Bots and Algorithmic Trading

Trading bots and algorithmic trading systems allow traders to automate their trading strategies based on predefined rules and algorithms. These tools can execute trades automatically, reducing the potential for human error and emotional decision-making.
While trading bots and algorithmic trading systems offer potential advantages, they also require careful development, testing, and monitoring to ensure they perform as intended.

Educational Resources

Continuous learning and education are essential for success in bitcoin trading. Traders should take advantage of various educational resources, such as online courses, books, blogs, podcasts, and trading communities, to enhance their knowledge and skills.
Some popular educational resources for bitcoin traders include:
  • Online courses from platforms like Udemy, Coursera, and edX
  • Books like "Mastering Bitcoin Trading" by Ethan Lowe and "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar
  • Blogs and podcasts like The Bitcoin Podcast, The Investor's Podcast Network, and Off The Chain
  • Trading communities and forums like Reddit's /BitcoinMarkets and Bitcointalk
By leveraging these tools and resources, bitcoin traders can enhance their knowledge, refine their trading strategies, and stay informed about the latest developments in the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin Trading Regulations and Compliance

As the adoption of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin continues to grow, regulatory bodies around the world are increasingly focused on establishing frameworks to govern their use and trading. Traders must stay informed about relevant regulations and ensure compliance to avoid potential legal and financial consequences.
Recommendation: Ready to mine free crypto on autopilot? Sign up

Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Regulations

Many cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms are required to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. These regulations aim to prevent the use of cryptocurrencies for illegal activities, such as money laundering and terrorist financing.
KYC requirements typically involve providing personal identification documents, proof of address, and other information to verify the identity of traders. AML measures may include monitoring transactions for suspicious activities and reporting them to relevant authorities.

Tax Implications

Traders must be aware of the tax implications of their bitcoin trading activities in their respective jurisdictions. In many countries, cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are treated as property for tax purposes, and gains or losses from trading may be subject to capital gains taxes.
Traders should maintain accurate records of their trades, including purchase and sale prices, dates, and transaction fees, to properly calculate their tax liabilities.

Regulatory Frameworks and Licensing

Some jurisdictions have established specific regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency-related businesses, including trading platforms and exchanges. These frameworks may require licenses or registrations for entities operating in the cryptocurrency space.
Traders should research the regulatory requirements in their respective jurisdictions and ensure that they are complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

International Regulations and Cross-Border Transactions

Bitcoin trading often involves cross-border transactions, which may be subject to additional regulations and restrictions. Traders should be aware of the regulations governing the transfer of cryptocurrencies across international borders, as well as any reporting requirements or limitations imposed by their home countries or the countries where they conduct trades.

Regulatory Developments and Updates

The regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrencies like bitcoin is constantly evolving, with new laws, guidelines, and interpretations being introduced regularly. Traders should stay informed about regulatory developments and updates to ensure they remain compliant and adapt their trading practices accordingly.
By prioritizing compliance and adhering to relevant regulations, bitcoin traders can mitigate legal and financial risks, protect their investments, and contribute to the overall integrity and legitimacy of the cryptocurrency market.

2024.04.16 20:34 jlia23 Every Cycle is SO Different

Sharing my story to show that every cycle is so different and maybe a lapse between cycles can work in your favor.
I was 36 years old with unexplained fertility. Got pregnant naturally right away, had a miscarriage at 10 weeks, tried naturally for 1 year after the miscarriage, 3 rounds of IUI and clomid before going to IVF. My egg count and follicle count have always been really high. First round numbers:
Was pretty devastated at the hunger games numbers and very nervous about my first transfer. Would have done a second egg retrieval round right away but my fertility insurance made me try with the 1 euploid before they would approve me for another retrieval. We did an ERA prior to transfer and I was blessed with a living baby girl. In retrospect I am glad I tried with the euploid since I now know they have a 70% success rate.
Fast forward to my second retrieval 1 month before my 40th birthday. I want a second child but husband is on the fence and I wanted to buy more time to decide as a family. 2nd round numbers:
I used omnitrope both times because doctor suspected since my egg count was high and we did not have MFI, it likely was an egg quality issues.
The biggest difference was that my drinking was scaled back significantly between the 2 rounds. Please do not judge but I was drinking more than I would have liked prior to the first retrieval bc 1) it was the dark covid years 2) honestly to deal with the stress of infertility. I quit drinking 3 months before my transfer and haven't drank a drop since.
Another factor for me was that my second round was a lot less anxiety driven and stress free because 1) I had a living baby which took away the pressure/gravitas of the process 2) I knew the process already and had done it before.
I share this story for a couple reasons:
I know that lot of this was luck and also acknowledge the privilege of having insurance cover 2 rounds. I know how hard the journey is and hope that my story helps someone whether you are devastated over your hunger games numbers, results of a round, feeling past your prime, or any one of the other feelings this journey makes you feel. Best luck to everyone in this group!

2024.04.03 01:22 dlmcommerce The Ultimate Vehicle Maintenance Guide

Keeping your trusty automobile in tip-top shape is crucial for ensuring longevity, reliability, and overall performance. Whether you're a seasoned car enthusiast or a busy individual looking for practical tips, we've got you covered. Our mission is to empower you with valuable information, insightful suggestions, and expert advice to help you keep your car running smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
This ultimate vehicle maintenance guide will outline the complete vehicle maintenance checklist, basic car maintenance tips, intervals of car check-ups, and much more.

Complete Car Maintenance Checklist

đŸ“·
It is vital to carry out proper vehicle maintenance and servicing after your car has completed a certain number of kilometers or if there are problems with its performance.
Visit your nearest service center to get your vehicle properly inspected by a professional mechanic, including the checks listed below.
This list has been carefully curated with a lot of research and input from trained automobile professionals. It will help you understand your car better and take good care of it.

Familiarize Yourself with the Car Owner's Manual

Every car model comes with its own instruction manual. It includes everything you need to know about the make and model of your vehicle, from periodic maintenance schedules to vehicle specifications.
In some cases, you can find the manual in the glove compartment of your car. Nowadays, you can download all manuals directly from the company's website in pdf format. In rare cases, you might be asked to enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to access the manual.
Each vehicle is different, and you should know the requirements of your specific vehicle model. Even if you service your car regularly, the maintenance tips in the owner's manual will help drastically increase your vehicle's longevity.

Tire Pressure and Tread

You should always maintain the correct tire pressure as the manufacturer recommends. It is most commonly listed on a sticker on the driver's side door or inside the owner's manual.
Tire pressure should be checked monthly, primarily if you use your car to carry heavy loads. You can do so yourself with a tire pressure gauge. Don't forget to check the pressure of the spare tire.
Check the tire tread for any damage. It is measured in the 32nds of an inch. 6/32" is considered good tire depth. If the tread depth is 2/32" or less, your tire is worn out and has to be replaced ASAP.

Fluid Levels

The professionals will check all the essential fluids in your car and change them if required, but you should know where all the fluids are stored and how to check them.
We will discuss this in more detail below.
Here is a list of all the essential fluids that help your car and engine function smoothly:

Car Battery and Cables

Having your car battery checked twice a year is recommended to ensure it is securely placed, free of corrosion, and has no leaks. The battery and cables should be tightly connected too.
If the terminals of the battery are corroded, cleaning them with a solution of water and baking soda using a wire brush will remove the corrosion. Make sure the car is turned off when you do this. Always wear gloves and do not touch any corroded parts.
We recommend that you unfasten the battery terminals before cleaning them for safety.
If your car's battery has cracks or leaks, you must replace it as soon as possible.

Belts and Hoses

One of the most critical components of your car is the serpentine belt. It constantly rotates to power the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor.
The timing belt, present in the engine, controls the engine valves and drives the camshaft. Typically, the timing belt has to be replaced every 60,000 to 90,000 miles.
Make sure to get the following belts checked regularly for signs of fraying, glazing, or cracking:

The hoses in your vehicle maintain a sufficient coolant flow to the engine's components. It is essential to check them for signs of wear and replace them if damaged.

Engine Oil and Filter

đŸ“·
Sludge can build up in your engine over time, affecting the engine oil's ability to properly lubricate the engine's moving parts. This is why getting the motor oil changed at regular intervals is important.
You should also get the engine air filter replaced if it appears dirty. According to Fuel Economy, the U.S. government's official information source for fuel economy, replacing a clogged engine air filter will improve fuel efficiency and acceleration.

Tire Rotation

When you are at the service station, you should have your car's tires rotated. Rotating the tires means changing the position of each tire, and you should do it periodically as the car manufacturer recommends.
Tires do not wear out uniformly. Depending on the driving conditions, some tires will be worn out more than others. Uneven tire wear can also result from poor suspension or improper alignment. Rotating them will ensure uniform wear and tear on all tires.
This will enhance your safety by keeping the driving surface even and improving traction on snow. It will also provide an even tread depth, contributing to a smoother drive.

Spark Plugs

The spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture, which powers the engine. They are small but play an important role in the engine's functioning. In most cars, they need to be replaced after 30,000 miles.
If you do not replace the spark plugs in time, the buildup deposited on them will cause a misfire and severely damage your engine, costing thousands of dollars to repair.
Spark plugs are very cheap and easy to replace.

Brakes

You should get all the braking system's components, including the brake pads, fluid, and linings. Excessive braking can increase the wear and tear on the brake pads and other parts.
It is crucial to address any problems with braking because your safety depends on it. You should also ensure that the brake lights are functional.
The mechanic will check the brakes by pushing the pedal, and if it emits a squealing, grinding, or rattling sound, the brake pads are too thin and must be replaced.

Filters

đŸ“·
The cabin air filter in your vehicle cleans the air inside the car by removing harmful pollutants from the air as it circulates through the HVAC system of your car. They should be replaced annually, but refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for instructions.
The other essential filters present in your car that need to be checked regularly are:

Importance of Routine Vehicle Maintenance

Some vehicle maintenance checks should be done regularly and periodically to ensure that your car is in top-notch condition and to maximize its performance.
Sometimes, you might put servicing the car on the back burner due to a busy schedule. But it is vital to take time out and get the car serviced promptly from time to time. The reasons for this are:

Repair or Replace Damaged Parts

While there are parts that last a lifetime, some car parts wear off faster and must be replaced more regularly. And if you are in an accident, whether a minor fender bender or a major collision, it could have damaging effects on your car.
Many other elements can wreck your car, such as flood damage in the rain, reckless driving habits, sun or heat damage in summer, etc.
Taking the car in for regular service is vital because an automotive professional can catch this damage early on and work to repair or replace the faulty parts.

Prolong the Vehicle's Life

Just like our well-being depends on good health care, the lifespan of your car also depends on proper maintenance and servicing.
Every car owner experiences problems with their car's performance after completing a certain number of miles, but these problems will arise much sooner without routine checks and servicing.
Regular vehicle maintenance will fine-tune the engine, improve your car's performance, and significantly increase your vehicle's longevity.

Higher Resale Value

A run-down house with visible flaws will not be worth much. But a well-kept house, on the other hand, will fetch a handsome price. The same is true in the case of vehicles.
Buying a new car can be expensive, so many new drivers prefer to buy second-hand cars to practice and fine-tune their skills. The market for second-hand vehicles is huge, and people will be willing to pay top dollar for good-quality cars.
But to attract prospective buyers, you need to keep your car in good condition, which includes regular servicing and maintenance. You will get a better price if the car is in top condition.

Improved Driving Experience

Regular vehicle maintenance improves your car's overall performance. An automobile is a piece of complex machinery made up of many different parts. So, all of them must function properly for a smooth driving experience.
The engine is the most important component of your car and is susceptible to more wear and tear. If vehicle maintenance is neglected, sludge will start to build up in the engine.
You must stick to the vehicle's maintenance schedule prescribed by the manufacturer to ensure regular checks, motor oil changes, etc.

Good For The Environment

You will drive better knowing that servicing your car will help to reduce your carbon footprint.
The emissions from your car are poison to the environment. These fumes increase due to clogged exhaust and unchanged fluids. Servicing will ensure the exhaust remains unclogged and fill in new coolants, engine oil, and other essential fluids.

Save Money in the Long Run

A famous saying goes, "Penny wise, pound foolish." It means trying to save a small amount of money in the present will end up costing you far more in the future.
People try to skimp on servicing and think spending money on car maintenance is unnecessary. But if the technical issues in your car are not dealt with swiftly and promptly, they will become more significant problems and cost a small fortune.
Parts like spark plugs or brake pads are cheaper to replace. But the engine and the head gasket are expensive to replace and cost upwards of 3,000 dollars.
You should get your car serviced to nip any potential issues in the bud and save money in the long run.

To Avoid Warranty Coverage

If you check the car owner's manual, you will come across a section on car maintenance and servicing. Every car manufacturer recommends specific intervals for car servicing. Not following the car maintenance guidelines can render the warranty null and void.
To keep coverage from the warranty, you must get your car serviced only by an authorized service center. Although getting the engine oil and air filters changed by an unauthorized center will not affect your warranty.

Ensures Safety

Imagine how inconvenient it will be to have your car break down in the middle of the road. You can avoid this situation with regular service. When your car is serviced, all the essential parts and fluids are checked and changed if required.
For example, if your brake pedals malfunction or the tires are worn out, they are more likely to cause an accident. You should get the necessary repairs done as soon as possible to avoid the risk of roadside emergencies.
Standard maintenance procedures ensure that your car is a well-oiled machine and that all its components function smoothly.

How Often Should Vehicle Maintenance Be Done?

Regular servicing keeps your car in the best possible condition. Car manufacturers have made it convenient to keep track of maintenance by developing a vehicle maintenance schedule at regular intervals.
This schedule is included in the vehicle owner's manual and should be followed strictly. And you should keep the receipts for all vehicle services to protect your warranty.
We have also developed a general maintenance schedule, which works for all cars, and best of all, most of the checks mentioned can quickly be done by you at little to no cost:

Every 15,000 Miles

Inspect the following parts every 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. After inspection, clean all parts and repair or replace them if there is any damage.

Consider replacing the following items every 15,000 miles

Every 30,000 Miles

Inspect the following parts every 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first. After inspection, clean all parts, adjust them, and repair or replace them if there is any damage.

Replace the following parts after the specific interval:

Every 45,000 Miles

Replace the spark plugs every 45,000 miles or 36 months, whichever comes first.

Every 60,000 Miles

Inspect the following parts every 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first. After inspection, clean all parts, adjust them, and repair or replace them if there is any damage.

Replace the following parts every 60,000 miles:

Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions

Some car parts require servicing more often than others if the driving conditions are severe. This includes short-distance driving, extensive idling, towing a trailer, or driving in areas with cold weather.
Driving on rough roads, sandy areas, and mountainous regions will also increase the wear and tear of certain parts and require more frequent servicing.
You must service the following parts more frequently for cars driven under severe driving conditions:

Make sure to properly and thoroughly inspect the parts for damage, leaks, deformation, and deterioration. All the hose connections should be tight and secure. Get a trained mechanic to replace the damaged parts and repair the leaks.
Disclaimer: The items and periods listed above can vary with vehicle models. We recommend you check the car owner's manual for the accurate maintenance specifications of your car.

Different Types of Vehicle Maintenance

The type of vehicle maintenance can vary based on the purpose, such as routine checks, preventative checks to avoid failure of essential parts, or restorative maintenance to resolve existing problems with car parts.
Let us take a detailed look at the different types of vehicle maintenance:

Scheduled Maintenance

This type of maintenance is time-based and is done per the manufacturer's guidelines. You should get your car serviced after traveling a set number of miles or sooner if there is an issue with its performance.
You can also call this preventative maintenance as it aims to prevent the failure of parts and diminishes the probability of malfunction or complete breakdown of certain parts. It will increase safety by eradicating potential mechanical issues.
This includes changing the engine oil, wiper blades, oil filters, washer fluid, air filters, brakes, battery, and other essential components.

Condition-Based Maintenance

Some maintenance procedures are condition-based because they are only required when alerted. There are many car warning lights, such as tire pressure warnings, check engine lights, oil pressure lights, battery alerts, etc.
When the warning lights turn on, a failure is about to occur. These lights alert you when something is wrong with the particular system, so you can get it fixed as soon as possible and avoid complete failure.
There could be a minor issue in the early stages of a system failure, which is harder to catch in routine checks. And since some systems don't have warning lights, you can ask the mechanics to detect hidden failures.

Corrective Maintenance

This type of maintenance is done to install brand-new parts after a failure has occurred. It happens when you fail to prevent issues by taking your car for regular maintenance and servicing. Damage can also occur if you get into an accident.
Corrective maintenance will be expensive as it costs more to restore or replace damaged parts following a failure.
It is pretty inconvenient because your car might break down in the middle of nowhere due to engine failure, leaving you stranded. In this case, you must get your car towed, which will cost even more.

How to do Regular Maintenance Checks Yourself?

If you are not a trained professional or an automotive engineer, chances are you do not know the inner workings of your vehicle.
You might think it is convenient to get regular car maintenance done by a professional, but it is not practical or cost-efficient to frequently go to a mechanic when you can do basic checks yourself.
Here are some basic things every driver should be able to do:

Add Wiper Fluid

For safe driving, your visibility must remain unobstructed while inside the car. This depends on how clean the windshield is. The car's windshield can get dirty for many reasons, such as dust, road grime, rain, condensation, smog, dirt buildup, and other impurities.
Every car has a washer fluid reservoir to keep the windshield clear of dirt and dust, which you can top up yourself at home. Just pop up the car's hood, locate the reservoir opening, and pour in the windshield washer fluid.
Many replace washer fluid with water when they are in a bind or too lazy to go to the store and buy more. But you should never use water instead of wiper fluid.
The wiper fluid has chemical cleaning solvents and detergents that water lacks, making it a poor choice for cleaning the windshield. Water also freezes at 32°F (0°C), which will cease the windshield washing system in cold weather.

Replace Windshield Wiper Blades

Wiper blades move back and forth on the windshield to remove dirt, snow, water, or other buildups. You can activate the windshield wiper fluid and turn on the blades for better cleaning.
The wiper blades are one of the car's most frequently used parts and can quickly wear out. When this happens, they will not make proper contact with the windshield and will start to smear the impurities rather than wipe them away, reducing the visibility and making it difficult to drive.
It is easy to swap out the windshield wiper from its arm and install a new one. You can do it yourself using only genuine parts or their equivalent. Usually, there is a button on the arm that you can push to release the blade.
Take the new blade and clip it on the arm. Clean the blades with a clean sponge or rag from time to time to remove any debris or road film.
Pro tip: Do not operate the wiper blades on dry glass because it will increase wear and tear. It could also leave scratches on the glass.

Check the Motor Oil

Engine oil, or motor oil, lubricates the engine's components to keep them running smoothly, reduce friction, and help cool the engine parts. Engine oil is necessary for your car and should never run low.
It is super easy to check the engine's oil level with the dipstick in your car's bonnet. It has a circular orange or yellow handle and is easy to recognize.
Before you check the engine oil, ensure your car is on level ground and warm up the engine to bring it to its normal operating temperature.
Take out the dipstick and wipe it off with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick, withdraw it, and check the oil level. The dipstick has F (full) and L (low) marks. The oil level should be close to F.
Most newer models, such as a modern BMW, have electronic oil monitors instead of dipsticks for checking the oil level. Electric cars also lack a dipstick as they don't have a crankcase.

Refill Motor Oil

If the engine oil is close to or below L, you must add oil until it reaches the F mark. You can top off the crankcase by removing the filler cap and adding the appropriate oil.
It is essential to use engine oil with a suitable viscosity. You can read about which oil to use in a hot or cold climate in the car owner's manual.
Recheck the oil level and ensure you are not overfilling the engine, as it can lead to aeration or other issues.

Check the Engine Coolant

The coolant fluid is usually stored in a clear plastic reservoir, so it is easy to check the coolant level. There are marks on the reservoir to represent high and low levels.
Make sure your car is on level ground, and turn off the engine before checking the coolant. Once the engine is cold, check the coolant level from the side of the reservoir.
If the level is low, refill the reservoir to bring the coolant level between low and high. If the coolant level keeps dropping frequently, there could be a leak, and you should visit the nearest dealership for an inspection.
Warning: Do not open the radiator cap until the engine has cooled down. The coolant is under pressure when the engine is hot and can burst out when you open the cap, which can seriously burn or injure you.
